Because we never had any corners.

How often did he play outside in Minny? They had Rhodes and that fossil in Newman. CAN he play outside? Sure. Should he play outside? Nope.

Munnerlyn is a nickel. 

 

I don't know how they used him in Minnesota, but I can tell you he played on the outside more often than not in Carolina. It kept him from being exposed on option routes. 

Playing nickel doesn't mean you play in slot all the time. Captain was better on the outside than the slot, so the coaches at the time played to his strengths. It has nothing to do with the talent around him.

I disagree, I think Munnerlyn is MUCH better in the slot than the outside but obviously that's just my opinion and you have yours. 

Munnerlyn has good ball skills and having him float around inside gives him more of a chance to make a play on the ball on most plays. 

Munnerlyn doesn't have great deep speed either and is just better suited for the quick shorter routes in the slot.

Im pretty sure the Vikes kept in the slot majority of time with Newman and Rhodes on the outside

Eh, Captain can play the outside pretty well and move Corn or Cole Luke to nickel. 

Way better off than last year. 

As soon as Captain goes to the outside the huddle is going to start the bash captain campaign. I keep saying this, it's not his fault he's often forced to the outside because everyone else around him sucks.

      The Pro Bowl is Unwatchable

      I think the last time I watched the Pro Bowl was that year Sean Taylor blew up that poor punter. LOL

      1 shot 1 goal tracker

      I don’t go back and look at the espn but there live it definitely said 1 shot 1 goal when it happened. I guess they had not added them yet. Still allowing goals that early is rough. Blue line is a total disaster still. Even with Slavin back. Miller and Nikishin keep making mistakes after mistakes.

      Post senior bowl PFF mock draft

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I generally disagree with the concept of picking a position because of value early in the draft. For instance, if there's a really good safety, RB or ILB at pick 10, I'm choosing him over a project WR or DE. Better players make the team better. A bunch of ok players will give you an ok team. The number 1 goal of the draft should be to improve the overall talent on the team. Not to fill positions of need.  Deciding beforehand that you're picking a LT in the first or second round because Ickey went down is not the way to improve the team. Now if Dan has similar grades on 2 or 3 players and one happens to be a LT, then yeah go for it. But don't pass on your guy at ILB because you have a gap at LT or need to improve the pass rush with a DE. When those guys don't pan out then you haven't improved your team. But that LB could have been a franchise cornerstone for years to come. See Luke Kuechly and Christian McCaffrey.
