Yep, 30 years and no White men were good enough. Then Moss comes and in his first year starting is already great. Obvious BS is right.According to the NFL Moss is the only true white corner in how many years who can play the position? I am going back to Sehorn days, what a bunch of bs.
I saw something about Cooper De Jean getting the start this weekend. One of the real athletes must be injured. Two starting white cornerbacks on the same day possibly?Yep, 30 years and no White men were good enough. Then Moss comes and in his first year starting is already great. Obvious BS is right.
Starting at nickelback as Don pointed out. They will have 2 starting DBs, which is extremely rare.I saw something about Cooper De Jean getting the start this weekend. One of the real athletes must be injured. Two starting white cornerbacks on the same day possibly?
One of, if not the most "overtargeted" CBs in the league. Wonder why?View attachment 4643
This graphic shows that Moss allows
The 3rd lowest distance of separation while being one of the most targeted CBs in the league. The target portion graph is crowded in Moss’s area but he appears to be near top 10 on targets at least.
Moss really ended up in a great position. He’s a phenomenal man corner, played tons of man in college.One of, if not the most "overtargeted" CBs in the league. Wonder why?
Isn’t it something that the only two white players allowed to play cornerback in decades (not counting a few one offs like Edelman) both end up being elite in their first years in the league?Moss really ended up in a great position. He’s a phenomenal man corner, played tons of man in college.
Look at all of those targets… Even though we were disappointed he didn’t start year one, imagine if he did, got all of these targets, and didn’t have that year of development and polishing his zone skills. I remember last year just dreading the chance he had one bad game before establishing himself and his career being ruined!
I think things ended up great, he’s ELITE!
And both from the only fbs program willing to play white cb’s. Crazy how only Iowa is able to find this talent!Isn’t it something that the only two white players allowed to play cornerback in decades (not counting a few one offs like Edelman) both end up being elite in their first years in the league?
Hopefully Iowa will continue to "find" and play them (and they have John Nestor now and offered Jaxx DeJean) as eventually this "outlier" program and the implications of it will make more open minded people take notice.And both from the only fbs program willing to play white cb’s.
