What do you base this on? Nobody threw to Vontae last year. That screams shut down corner. And Sean Smith was regularly abused last year, just less regularly than he was in his rookie season.

I'm taking issue, really big issue, with Daniel Thomas' rating. If you've ever seen the guy run through junk in between the tackles with the precision he does, you'd understand there's no way in HELL his awareness rating is in the 40s. I don't care if he is a rookie.

I agree. I was shocked at that. Mainly because he's gonna get some snaps this year possibly.

No doubt Vontae is the better overall corner, but Smith is very good as well. It is nearly impossible to compare stats side by sidesince Sparano started Jason Allen over Smith for half the season, But taking a look at percentages, Smith was 26th best at receiver success rate while Davis was 56th. Smiths biggest problem last season was dropped interceptions. if he holds on to them, he could have led the league in INTs. He has improved greatly in coverage and will only get better as he gains experience. Remember, he has not benn a CB for far too long. Miami will have a very nice D this year.
