Jason Verrett has everything you would want in an NFL cornerback – fluid hips, a great burst and a cool nickname.
 
The only thing Verrett doesn’t have is size.
 
A 5-foot-9, 189-pound former Texas Chrtistian standout, he is quick to point out several other short-statured defensive backs who’ve had success in the NFL.
 
“Captain Munnerlyn, Brent Grimes, Tyrann Mathieu – all those guys are Pro Bowl-caliber guys and make a lot of plays,” Verrett said Wednesday. “Being that they’re about the same stature and size, it only motivates me even more to make plays on the field.”

 

 

Verrett got his chance when Don Gregory, the Panthers’ college scouting director, and secondary coach Steve Wilks flew to Fort Worth, Texas, in March to work out Verrett the day after TCU’s pro day.
 
It turned out to be Verrett’s only private workout before he had shoulder surgery March 17 to repair the torn labrum he played through during his final season at TCU.
 
“Definitely if Carolina wants to take me, I’d love to be out there,” Verrett said during a phone interview from his family’s home in northern California. “I felt like I killed the (dry erase) board work. I understand their defense and their scheme and places where I would fit, whether it’s in the nickel or even on the outside.”

Would love Verrett and have thought for some time he would be the pick if there. I even listed him first in an earlier post from today of D players that wouldn't annoy me for that reason. We didn't replace Captain and Verrett is a helluva lot better, younger, and cheaper.

      Needs to be a run heavy game. They have allowed 121+ on the ground in the last 3 games including 180 to Tampa yesterday. If they do the whole crowd the box deal like they did against us, push the ball downfield. If we can do it to the Rams and Falcons we can do it to them.

      Down year for QBs

      Rushing attempts PG are actually the 5th lowest since 1990.

      Down year for QBs

      team are playing lots of 2 high shell trying to take away the big plays.  But I mean, defenses being scared of QB play.....aids the run game.  I mean, don't pay the QB and have the threat....the safeties aren't going to be fixated on taking away the deep pass and can play the run and cheat on pass attempts.  I think what you are seeing is the most elite QBs are flat out being game planned for to take away the big play.  But if you aren't an elite QB and vertical threat QB.....defenses flat out aren't going to make that league wide shift on your offense.  Take a Bryce.  I would imagine most of his INTs are made by opposing safties over the course of his career (who aren't taking away the vertical but cheating to make plays on the intermediate balls)
