Agreed. Very interesting comment by Fresno Freak. He also sort of said that speed is the number one attribute of a great cornerback. Speed covers a lot of ills. But when speed is paired with athleticism, size and attitude, you've got shut down corners like Peterson and Sherman.Originally Posted by mraynrand
Against this metric our current CB's suck big time, with the possible exception of Randall. But even Randall lacks elite speed and size.
One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

Sam had elite speed but not necessarily size.
Yeah, Adams pointed that out in the article but said the Sam's exceptional speed and attitude made up for his lack of elite size.
I also forgot about King when I commented about our CB's. King has size, speed and attitude, I guess the only thing in question about him is durability and maybe his athleticism.
