That or a maybe a nickel corner. Why do we have to keep saying that about every corner we draft?
Another observation: Our corners were not world-beaters in 21 or 22. Awuzie was good in 21 and missed the last half of 22. I'm still not sure he was ever a true number 1. We had rookie CTB and ELI FREAKING APPLE manning those spots for a lot of games when the team was at it's defensive peak.
The problem goes back to the same place we continue to arrive in these discussions. We had the best safety tandem in the league and then let both walk in the same year. With Bates and a younger Bell back there, they could get away with not having great corners. They lost talent and didn't replace it at safety or anywhere else in the secondary. Frankly they're lucky they got by for as long as they did with the mediocre talent they were running out at corner.
