I agree that Mathieu will have issues dealing with someone like Justin Hunter. And with his height, Simon would make for a smaller margin of error for them.

But let's face it, if the Tennessee QB delivers a fairly well-thrown fade route, Hunter is going to come down with the ball - it doesn't matter who is tagging him. He will outjump Simon by a good 8 inches.

And good cornerback technique can still prevent that play ... you don't need to get to the ball, just keep the receiver from getting both hands on it. A well timed strip of one arm will force the receiver to make the play one-handed. If he can do that, then more power to him.
