Why did the announcers pick on Rolle so much- He was 10 yards off the ball who in the league could play that far off and react to anything- I know Clancy likes off coverage but come on- this is riddiculous!!! You have to challenge them a little pick if they are throwing 5 yrd slants of course they are going to beat you ... I read an article about how Clancy liked the corners playing off and how they didnt give up any long passes becasue of it- bend dont break concept- but if you draft a guy 8 because he is a shut down corner then let him play that way

I doubt he has the speed to be a so called "shutdown corner". He could hardly stay on his feet. In street talk he was bit-- slapped.

The guy had well publicized knee injury all week long. Clearly he wasn't able to pivot, which is what you need to play press coverage.
