At their best, I think Woodson had a greater impact in the games he played. Bailey was a good enough cover guy to take his receiver out of the game, making it essentially 10 on 10. An offense could mostly just forget about both Bailey and the receiver he was covering. For pure cover corners, that is the case. They create a deadspot on the field for the offense. Players like Woodson impact the entire defense. They can't be ignored because they can show up anywhere. It is more difficult to deal with a defender like that.

Throw in all the turnovers he created with forced fumbles, and the games he turned around with TDs on returns, and I would go with Woodson, just because he was so dynamic.
