    good to see verner doing well. however let's noy lose sight of the fact that while verner is an amazing fit in tampa he is a terrible fit for the new defense.

    3 of out 3 have been fired within the last few years... Just sayin' .

    I get it, he wanted too much money and we're not in a position right now to be paying two CBs a lot of money. With that said I still believe Verner is as good if not better than McCourty.

    Verner is excellent in the right system. Like the cover 2 being played in Tampa. He is however a horrible fit for Ray Horton's defense in Tennessee.

    Verner is a good player but I won't blame us no matter how well he does. We offered, he choose to leave. No harm done, let's move on.

    J-Mac and Verner is a lot closer than ppl think. Both IMO are borderline #1 CBs, excellent #2s. I'm a big fan of J-Mac. Never understood any hate he gets.

    This is why I question who is putting these ratings together. McCourty may have given up more catches and yards then Verner, but McCourty played well in coverage, had 2 picks and caused a 3rd. 3 turnovers (with an excellent catch by Griff) is huge compared to giving up 1 catch for 4yds.

    And while I love Casey and think he is one of the top DL in the league, Watt IS the best DL in the NFL period. And they both played like I value them. Casey was excellent but Watt was better IMHO.

    The hate J Mac gets is because he plays safe.

    He doesn't try to break up passes or actually compete with a WR.

    He plays behind them all game and just hopes to not get beat. Thus the reason his guy is usually wide open. (happened in the Chiefs game too)

    Unless a ball comes directly to him, he's not making a play on it. He got lucky twice on Sunday. Very Michael Griffin type interceptions.

    Meanwhile... Donnie Avery had 12 receptions for 84 yards.

    ... Donnie Avery. A guy that had like 2 catches in an entire season of playing for us.
