Top 10 CB Duos

[Fountain City Blues]

Broncos, Cardinals headline NFL's best cornerback tandems

Feel free to discuss and argue.

Janoris Jenkins at four, he is going to bust.

If this guy (author) is gonna say PP & T Mathieu (a safety) are #2, then I guess I'll go with Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas as the best.

Mathieu plays over 60% of his snaps at CB actually. The Cardinals are kind of base allergic.

I would take Amerson and Smith

yeah, I was just mostly being a wise ass.

And anyway, the article only lists top 5. OP says top 10, so where's the rest?

That's just me stirring the pot- just curious what people have for their top 10 CB duos.

 

[Manster7588]

I'm surprised Norman and Donald Duck isn't in the top 5.

 

[Malibu]

Harris, Talib, Roby all day!! Broncos defending Super Bowl Champs. Peace.

I'm surprised that Sherman/whoever and Revis/Cromartie aren't in there....

Cromartie has aged pretty significantly.

 

[Oldschool739]

Cromartie has aged pretty significantly.

Yea but didn't they just give him a new multiple yr contract last season ?
They must still have confidence in him, but Revis is the reason for that pick....

Yeah the title doesn't quite fit with the article. Although he does give 2 teams that just missed the list in the Bills and Chargers.

Seems like a good list to me. Obviously easy for me to say that since my team sits at the top but I don't think many would argue that they should at least be top-2 at this point with the Cardinals duo being some tough competition.

I do think the pairing in Buffalo if used right could really jump up this list this year. For some reason just see that pair having a big season. Another a little further down most people's list that I think if the team can find even an average pass rush to work in front of them would be the Falcons combo of Desmond Trufant and Robert Alford. I think if Trufant was on an above average defense he could easily be recognized as a top-10 Corner in this league right now. He just doesn't get the attention though because he plays on such a sub-par defensive unit.

 

[tducey]

Figured Seattle's duo would be there somewhere.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Antwan Blake not being on this list is outrageous...

 

[Wamu]

I'm shocked the Browns weren't mentioned.

1. Talib/Harris

That's a good list.. Im not sure i agree with the top spot, but good list overall..

Any list that does not have a Packer in it shows how often they are overlooked but that is a good thing until you play them.
