tall corners worry me like simon.. cutting and changing directions aren't as quick as shorter corners


The Times they are a changin', man

You can't be short anymore. With so many tall WR getting jump balls over your head, it doesn't matter if you can stay with him if you can't make the play. QB are getting fearless with that stuff.

His length makes up for that, though I think he does well cutting and changing direction. It's hard to get a ball over him deep because his arms are like 8 feet long

One of the great but unheralded plays in LSU history was Dale's int and return for a TD vs OM in '84 to preserve victory.
