That was also a very bad throw, and the INT that Taylor made was not bc of his great coverage, but bc of the poor throw.

But wasnt that bc either the Skins were in a zone, or he manned up on Moss after Moss was in the secondary? Either way it doesnt matter if you can "outjump" anyone, if you have ST playing corner, bump and run, then he is not fast enough to stop a receiver on the line, and his feet are not quick enough to adjust to moves the WR will make early in his pattern.

You seriously think that? I'll give you that he "might" not have the right quickness to adjust (even though I'm only giving THAT a 5% chance). He's one of the fastest players on the team AND he is a player in the secondary. That alone means he has speed and foot quickness. The reason he is at safety is so he doesn't have to always be man-to-man with someone and can make plays all over the field.

I really think ST could not adjust quickly if he was playing man to man, up close to the line. I am not saying he isnt fast enough, but in the secondary ST has more time to react, as compared to a CB. I think he isnt nimble and agile enough to adjust to quick moves by the WR.

ST ran a 4.51 at his pro day.
carlos rogers ran a 4.44...

ST could cover guys like Owens and boldin but he would get smoked by guys like s.moss and s.smith.
