Quote:Yea I'm not crowning Colvin yet. I'll wait till I see it on the field. We don't even know if he's better then what we currently have. None of our CBs have been ''studs''. They either have struggled(Gratz & Blackmon) or average(Ball & McCray). So I hope Colvin is this Goat most are hyping him up to be.

 

Colvin has an advantage in that when he started playing at Oklahoma, he first started at safety then moved to corner.  He's lengthy and aggressive at the line of scrimmage.  He's not the kind of guy to let his WR get a clean break off the line of scrimmage.  He'll throw off route timing.

 

What he lacked was the deep speed to recover if a WR got a step on him.  Basically he's the perfect type of corner for the system Gus wants to run because he has the length and aggressiveness they want at the LOS.  Plus him not having that deep speed shouldn't be too big of an issue if Evans keeps improving like he has the last two weeks.
