Around SBN: What If This Is It For The Celtics? End Of An Era Looming

Interesting stats on NFL Cornerback success


While the article is from Yahoo, the stats are from STATS Inc.  It's a break down of the best and worst corner based on the number of targets.  They call it....(insert announcer voice here) the Burn rate.  The rate is "the percentage of targets for every defender that resulted in catches with a minimum of 50 targets in 2010."  Read more after the jump.

Star-divide

Darrelle Revis, New York Jets: 33.9%, 19 burns on 56 targets, 340 yards, 4 TD, 10 passes defensed

 

Darelle had the best rate.  Nnamdi Asomugha and his 39.4 percent burn rate on 33 targets, so he doesn't count.  So why post this at all.  Because one of our very own is holds the worst burn rate in the NFL (2010 season of course):

Richard Marshall, Carolina Panthers: 71.3%, 72 burns on 101 targets, 765 yards, 5 TD, 7 passes defensed

Marshall's been doing the contract dance with the Panthers for a few years now, but his numbers just don't justify the inflated opinion. Carolina was horrid last year, but its front seven was surprisingly good, leaving most of the blame for these stats on the man himself.

Ouch.  Go here to read the full article.

Only proves what we saw all last year

He sucks.

Honestly I think Richard Marshall is a nickel CB at best.

Or a safety.

He is certainly not the #1 CB he thinks he should be paid like.

I think he would do OK in a man coverage system

The problem I saw is he sucks horrendously at zone defense. The article simply confirms the eye test that last season so aptly provided.

He's given us some good years.

He just doesn’t fit Meeks scheme.

Yes I'm a dude.

I remember him coming up to make quite a few decent stops during running plays

Perhaps he’s eyeing the backfield a little too much from the zone for run support, and that slows his break on receivers? I don’t know…just spitballing.
