Rhodes has the advantage of playing on a superior defense. Natural bias will occur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmittyBacall Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 William Jackson III is a name to watch this year. I’m not willing to crown him yet, but giving his small sample size last year he has the potential makings of an elite cover corner. I’ve never seen any corner cover Antonio Brown better than he did in their two meetings last year (two meetings, 7 targets, 0 passes allowed, 4 pass breakups).

Missing his entire rookie season due to injury, Jackson’s first NFL action came in 2017, and for some reason the Bengals didn’t employ him as a full-time player despite clear evidence he was the best coverage player in their secondary. He allowed just 34.9 percent of passes thrown his way to be caught (the best mark in the league), a passer rating of 36.1 (the second-best), just 0.4 yards per coverage snap (by far the best) and went 26.4 snaps in coverage for every catch he surrendered – five more than any other corner.

SmittyBacall Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Question: How much does the elite pass rushing unit in Sacksonville influence Bouye/Ramsey’s effectiveness? Are they really THAT good? Ramsey was as elite a corner prospect as you can produce, so his dominance is legitimate. But Bouye? What say you. Also, Skins’ fans: how did Norman look last year? Ravens fans: Jimmy Smith?

Bouye was great in Houston the year before when Watt missed a bunch of time. So as a starter, he's been about as good as you can ask for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also: this... https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-best-cornerbacks-in-the-nfl There's a lot of good stats out there for WJIII, excited to see how he does this year with the hype around him. Never want to crown a corner after just one good season. That said, the most impressive stat that I saw from WJIII was that from weeks 11-17, he averaged ~30 coverage snaps per game and allowed 8 receiving yards. 8 yards over the course of 7 games. "Of the 68 CBs to play 175-plus coverage snaps in said span, Jackson is the only CB to allow fewer than 113 yards; he allowed eight". Let's see how he does year 2 (technically 3)...

AJ Bouye 6. Darius Slay 7. Xavier Rhodes 8. William Jackson III 9. Marcus Peters 10. Jimmy Smith HM: Desmond Trufant, Richard Sherman, Tre White This doesn't make much sense Lattimore is 4th but White is a HM. Those two rookies need to be much closer. White I think was just a tad below Lattimore. Both CBs were better at certain points of the season. I'd go 1. Jalen Ramsey 2. Xavier Rhodes 3. AJ Bouye 4. Casey Hayward 5. Darius Slay 6.
