I think the problem with Gratz is the specter of high expectations.  Let's face it, he was a 3rd round pick who played pretty well his rookie year.  We all expected him to take a big leap this year.

 

I see what most everyone sees in Gratz, an OK CB that appears to be trying his hardest.  The kid doesn't give up on plays and he is a fairly sure tackler for the most part.

 

The bad with him is that he's not a shut down corner at this point.  He's always off the receiver just enough to keep that receiver open.  But he rarely flat out blows a coverage.  Yes he got burned by Dez in London, but that is really the only super glaring issue I can remember with him.  Every other time, it's ugh, he slipped and had to recover to make the tackle after the receiver caught it.

 

He's just an OK CB at this point.  And for us fans who expected more, it's highly disappointing.  But I'm not sharpening my pitchfork with his name on it quite yet.

 

As for Mccray---  I first realized how good he was during the London game when he shut down Dez Bryant in the first quarter of that game.  

 

He's been lights out ever since.  I love the kid!  He reminds me of another special CB the jags had a few years ago.  I don't want to jinx McCray, so I will speak no more of it.
