I was right even if you believe I was wrong
Ranking all 32 NFL secondaries this season
Hmmm intesrestingKeep on hating on the cowboys secondary you will find out soon enough.
1. Dallas Cowboys (Rank entering Week 7: 4)
Top overall grade: S Barry Church, 86.2 (No. 9 among safeties)
Top coverage grade: CB Morris Claiborne, 85.1 (No. 12 among CBs)
Top run-defense grade: S Barry Church, 86.0 (No. 11)
Most snaps: CB Brandon Carr, 1,013
One of the biggest reasons for the Cowboys’ success this season has been the turnaround of the secondary. After having just one defensive back with an above-average coverage grade last season, all eight players with at least 100 snaps in 2016 earned average or above-average overall and coverage grades. Although they lack an elite-caliber player, this group has played consistently well as a unit. Byron Jones, Barry Church, Morris Claiborne, and J.J. Wilcox have all earned career-high overall and coverage grades this season, while rookie Anthony Brown has played well down the stretch in Claiborne’s absence.
Was this pro football focus? Do you have the most updated version? Damn them for charging money for stats.
It didn't surprise me that our safeties were rated high and Gunter has been excellent vs OBJ, Hopkins and Julio Jones. Now with our secondary gaining health I assume their score should be better than 28th. I thought they would be ranked 32nd honestly.
