Roy Williams may need to get a new tape measure. "Don't let Captain (Munnerlyn) fool you. He might be 5-foot-3, but he plays like he's 6-foot-5," Williams said of the Panthers CB. "So they have a great secondary, we're going to have to bring it to them this week." Munnerlyn is actually listed at 5-8.

Rivera also praised Captain on his defensive play and leadership during his latest presser, especially when Gamble went out vs The Jags with a concussion.

All in all good remarks for a guy a lot of you were calling no better then a Nickel Corner during the offseason.

People who thought Gamble and our cbs/secondary weren't good enough are idiots. They aren't the best, but easily good enough. That isn't where our defensive problems are. And they will look even better when our DTs get consistent penetration.

A better CB than anything we have would be a luxury, and we already spent on luxuries. We need a starting material DT, hopefully a rookie we already have, but if not in next year's draft we need a DT before CB imo.

I think our corners match up well against their small speedy receivers. We have physical corners who can get a good jam at the line of scrimmage. Thats how you them... CJ and Hardy will be putting their nuts on Cutler's chin before Hester and Knox get downfield. The pass rush will be key this week, as the Martz offense rarely runs the ball.

      Plus he was in the era in which Safety, LBs, and CBs could de-cleat WRs/TEs on crossing routes. He was beyond tough too. Plus those numbers his 4.66 40 time etc....... GameDay with 15 LBs of pads/clothes/tape, he was the fastest guy on the field. In fact I never recall at any point Rice being ran down or "hawked" from behind by any player. He was a gamer and clutch, just like lex Lugar the total package.

      Not all talent can be measured with a ruler and stopwatch. His hands, body control, and skills were ELITE.

      He did have talent, but if you look at his combine/workout numbers...they are not eye popping like many of the combine freaks are. All the best have talent, smarts, and work ethic. What he was able to do in his 40s, he holds all the records after 40. He had two 1k seasons at 39 and 40, no other WR has 1k after 36. He came back from a ACL tear within 9 months after he turned 35 years old. You know this is the era where ACl was a career derail-er and it took most mortal men took a full 12 months and they were never the same. Only two other players have made catches at that age (40) and neither one was a wide receiver. LOL at Tom being one of them....   I also read or heard, he would have still played if not for ST. He was going to play for the broncos in 2006, I think he would have been 44???, he earned a spot as the #4-6 but the numbers game of having WRs play ST ended his career. He could still get open and play, just no sense in having the GOAT run head first into a wedge on KO duties.....
