yes i am. technique, experience, and knowledge of the game can overcome height disadvantages. a 40 inch vertical helps too.
and it isnt ALL because the safety play will be better this year, we have more than 2 corners that we can put on the field this season. Let Grix and Murillo get a breath every once in a while, which did not happen last year. When you are running against every team's entire receiving corps all day long, your performance will decrease.
After all the running Jones and Grix did last year, i wouldnt be surprised to see them in a marathon after football. Their endurance must be phenomenal.
Now that we have depth at Corner, and more experience, we will be able to blitz a bit more and put pressure on the QB. the only drawback is if our blitzers and d-line doesnt get penetration, our corners will be on an island all alone, such as it was all year last year.
