The people who wrote that article know more about football than both of us so, they're pretty sure of how CBs are used in run support. Basically dude, take off the Raider shades, no one hates the Raiders or is trying to unfairly down them. They are what they are.

WRONG that article is pure ignorance, again, the raiders play MAN TO MAN< leaving defenders with their back turned to the play, UNDERSTAND. so what happens WHEN a RB gets past LB's? Big gains and open field. Even Woodson would struggle tackling a RB in open space. That article is totally out of context.

Don't you get it. Anyone who doesn't think Aso is the greatest is ignorant, doesn't know anything about football, and has an obvious agenda against Aso and the Raiders.

no, they know that is what i'm telling you. their whole approach to their grading system is to put every play in context, which is why a guy like Aso, who doesn't make a ton of picks and doesn't get thrown at can be a top corner in their system.

They assumed in that article ASO was always in position which with the raiders ******** scheme is simply not true. Raider CB's are at a disadvantage due to scheme.

Deion sanders many consider the best CB ever, dude was one of the worst tacklers, he even tried to avoid it.................. At least aso can tackle and has good technique.

Jordan in his prime didn't make every jumpshot, Sweetness didn't gain a consistent 10+ yds a carry, and Agassi didn't win every set! To have a 99 player in any game is FAR FETCHED! These ratings are simply thrown in there because the rating czar says so! Of all the players listed at 99 Tom Brady would be the closest for me. Maybe a 96 at Best! To give someone a high rating like 99 they have to be without a doubt the best players of their sport, and potentially the greatest of all time. EA Sports is not in the game, They are trying to get in it. Too bad they are failing miserably!

That's why they're 99s and not 100s.
