Quote:To me, he had a lot of that "looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane" to him.

 

Yep, agreed. 

 

Isn't that the type of player touted as a "BEAST" by some on this board, tho? :whistling: 

Beasley. Any defensive success we had as a 14-2 team, the best in franchise history, was pinned on our corner backs. Aaron was stealth technology. He's the best corner we've ever had in franchise history.

 

He made quarterbacks cry.

 

Lageman once said Akin Ayodele was the best pass rusher he had ever seen during his rookie year lol

Agreed.  Nice guy, but never lived up to the expectations.

Can't say I remember hearing that

I used to see him and TJ Slaughter at some of the bars at the beaches. Whatever action Ayodele was not getting on Sunday, he was getting on Friday.

Had to go Beasley. Had to (although realistically it should be Manuwai).


Someone said the best corner in Jags history? Even though I'm a homer,, I gotta agree

I'm betting Coughlin was hoping for the same when he drafted him. :whistling:

 

The guy did flash his rookie season and certainly had talent, and had a nice collegiate resume.

 

He just never developed.  Unfortunately some players peak in college.

Beasley really wasn't that good of a CB at all. He did have a knack for being in the right place at the right time on a lot of turnovers, I'll give him that, but as a pure cover CB? He would get torched a lot. Didn't Yancey Thigpen own him??

Mathis was the best CB in franchise history, and it's not even close.

Thats what I was thinking.

I agree with your opinion on Beasley, but you constantly use turnovers to justify the better CBs. Hell, you even use it to knock the LBs you don't like. You seem a bit inconsistent here.

The turnovers have to at least be accompanied by decent play otherwise. 

 

Beasley wasn't great in coverage. 

 

 

....And Beasley also really only had the one year (1999) with a lot of INT.  But he'd always seem to be in the right spot to pick up a fumble that was jarred by another player and bring it back for 50 yards or so. Decent player, but not the best 3rd rounder, and not the best CB in Jags history either. 

 

Hell, Brian Williams was a better CB than Beasley and I wasn't the biggest BW fan. 

 

Rashean was by far and away our best CB in team history.

LOL... wasn't great in coverage...

 

You're confusing Beasley with Coughlin's way overdrafted rail thin Fernando Bryant.

 

Williams wasn't even in Beasley's league.  Williams was pure scrub.  Beasley was no Rashean in his prime, but he was worth every penny we paid as a CB (unlike Williams.)

 

And you still think people believe your charade as a Jaguar fan...

 

(Williams most memorable moment in Jax, since you weren't aware...)

You kind of ignored the point behind my post. Also, Williams wasn't better than Beasley.

No apparently, you're confusing a lot of stuff...

 

Bryant actually always had the rep of "being in the right spot" in coverage.....yet seemingly never making a play. It was maddening.  

 

I'm guessing you're letting the 6 INT season Beasley had in 1999 blind you to the fact that he really wasn't that good of a cover CB. Beasley despite the knack for coming up with the loose football and making plays like that, Beasley also had the knack of giving up the big play in coverage, as well. Williams made just about no plays as far as INT or fumbles go...but Williams, like Bryant, was usually in the right position in coverage. 

 

I don't think Brian Williams was all that good. But do think he was a better cover CB than Beasley. Neither were in Rashean's class. 

Quote:You kind of ignored the point behind my post. Also, Williams wasn't better than Beasley. 

 

Beasley was the bigger play CB, but Williams was better in coverage. It really don't matter....what are we arguing here? 2 mediocre CB?? 

 

Neither were close to Rashean's level of play. 

 

Manuwai was the best 3rd rounder, and I don't think its close.

My post was about your tendency to use turnovers to pick the CBs and LBs you like most, but you disregarded it here.

Not really, I did say as far as CB go, Rashean over any CB we've had, by a mile

 

Plus, Brackens was pretty good at forced fumbles in key spots as well. 

Aaron Beasley is my choice.  Beasley wasn't the most gifted CB but he seemed to have a great feel for the game.   With very good ball skills.  

 

While he wouldn't be near the top of my list,   there were 2 or 3 seasons that I thought Clint Ingram was a winning caliber OLB.
