Nice try, you 4.3 runnin' shutdown CB.

That was Ty Williams second stretch in the can.

He got 6 months in the cooler in '97 for firing two shots into a car driven by a former Nebraska player and his woman. He assaulted an unarmed off-duty cop in Fla ten years later for the incident you are mumbling about. He got more time for then beating up his girlfriend at a later date.

Those derned five-oh's, they are evil, evil!

And you are a lying boob.

Fuck the police, old man! I bet you were an ignorant cop in the 60's and 70's. I bet you viciously assaulted the glorious hippies. Fuck 5-0's and fuck their mothers, too.

Sam has came a long way since I called him the best CB in the league!

Shields still have consistency issues. Against the Niners the guy got a pick-6 but he also allowed pass-6. Still a long way to go to become a shutdown corner.

Tramon Williams was also the mother inconsistency the past couple of seasons.

Wouldn't hurt to draft a hotshot shutdown corner.

Was that the only TD he gave up all year?

Selective memory, probably.

I think Shields gambled a few times and got beat deep for long completions or for bomb-6 a few times. The Saint game comes to mind. I like the guy, especially on Madden, but I think he's still a bit inconsistent. Tackling has improved, though.

Sam 'Sinkem' Shields ... a player !

Tracks n' tackles em like a sailer.

He's a heat seeking nailer.

Dominator .... 'an impaler' !

I'll give him a pass on last year, and call it a sophomore slump. He finished strong this year and I think he deserves the first round tender - then if he starts off well next season, negotiate an extension during the year.

He played good technique on the TD too, pretty hard to say the result was a lapse in his coverage. Maybe in a year he knocks the pass out at the end .

I think time will still bear out your prediction on Shields. He was one of the guys doing some serious work against that Niners offense. The fact that he was challenged to shore up his tackling and he clearly has worked on it is a good sign, IMO.

Sometimes peeks in the backfield and relies on speed to catch-up.

Once SS stops peeking -- lockdown corner.

[smuggler]

I remember the Saints (I believe) got a loooooong completion on Tramon Williams, and Shields came across the field and ran him down. Shields is the fastest player on the field when he's in, so he can afford to gamble a bit.

It is a yes and no -- SS sometimes is chasing his own receiver after being beat by peeking. SS is fast after 5-10 yds but not explosive in the more critical initail 1-2 yard area.

Agreed.

I may be wrong but one game - I think the Saints game - Shields allowed a long bomb, caught up with his guy and proceeded to miss the tackle. I wrote about it in one of my popular "Mice & Men" thread.

Too lazy to check. Will let Kentucky do it for me.

[SkinBasket]

Is SS another "show me the money" brother?

God, you are so racist.

Capers said someone in the middle zone should have peeled over to this route and gotten there in time. And that didn't happen.
