Top 5 Corner Tandems in the NFL

Until Lito is traded, you have to put asante and lito at the top, considering how much Dre Bly got abused last season. And Newman is overrated, while pacman isn't in the league yet.

totally disagree they may have talent but not good enough talent to win wins is what everything is based on in the nfl and the most winnig combo on the list is harris and woodson at least they made the playoff plus i do remember a young greenbay reiciving corps beating them on monday night

in case you didn't notice, when was the last time we played green bay on monday night? oh ya 2 seasons ago. Asante wasn't even there. Harris and Woodson are getting old and got tore up by physical WR. Until you actually know something... SHUT UP. This article wasn't about CB tandems with most wins, it is CB tandem with most talent!!... And to say Lito and Asante don't have good enough talent to win, How did we get to 4 straight NFC championships with them? Dumbass.

Sheldon Brown not asante haha

talk about unhatched chickens!

totally agree, if its lito and asante, thats the best 1-2 hands down

I just can't tho cuz I'm not a big believer in Asante...he gets burned like Newman a lot...Lito in my opinion is better

I see what you mean. Sorry about the idiot that just went through this article and thumbed down every comment of yours.

don't worry about it, just tryin to give my opinion

I agree with the 2 above me...I actually think Pacman is better then Newman n they both arent better then asante or lito....as it stands right now..

Hey... i wonder what they lookin at? Dre think it looks disgusting, While Champ sort of looks hungry...?

You all are forgeting about the tandem in Silver in Black. Nnamdi Asomugha and DeAngelo Hall

good call, they'd join lito and asante as the top 2 tandems.. forgot about them completely

Not denying Asomugha isn't good cuz he is very good, but DeAngelo Hall is horrible, straight terrible

Total agreement about Hall, can you say over rated?

agreed. he tried to call out T.O., and T.O straight up abused him all day long!

Pacman and Newman? dude you're crazy....who knows how pacman will be IF he gets reinstated and terrence newman is a JOKE. He gets burned on so many deep balls its not even funny. Dre Bly used to be amazing, but his days are numbered and as much as I hate to say it but Champs could be too. Gotta put Champ as one of, if not THE best CB of all time.

I think Pac will be reinstated pretty soon if you ask me, but if Thurman can play, Pac should be able to. I do think Pac and Newman will be pretty good tho

Thurman didnt do half hte sht pacman did AND thurman complied with EVERYTHING asked fo him....not just most of the things. Pacmans a POS and should be banned for life, I'm sorry but I'm extremely irked by his comment of doing "most of the things the commish asked me" you were given a chance and you did MOST? you should have done all you dumbazz

to me, if your gonna reinstate one, reinstate the other. I would have said the same thing if it was the other way around

Plus Pac helped Feed the Children :)

newman isn't a joke...if u want to talk jokes think about your own boy sheldon brown...and newman gets burnt on so many deep balls?????? hell u even got me laughing at that garbage...your one of the few people on here whose knowledge of the NFL I respect cause most people on here don't got a clue...but I gotta disagree with u on this one dude

dtrik right once again. but army TOTALLY AGREED Asomugha might be the best in the league. Dont get me wrong I love Asante and Lito but I think this kid has all the potential in the world. Keep in mind, Andy tried aquiring Asomugha in a trade BEFORE the whole Asante thing too.

Asomugha is good, but not the best. He's in the top 5

I'd put Asomugha ahead of Champ RIGHT NOW since hes young and in his prime...Champs nearin the end of a marvelous career

Champ is 29 so I don't think he'll be done for a while...look how long Deion played....I still think Champ is the best, yes Asomugha is good, but not on Champ's level

Oh hes got plenty of tread left on his tires...hes just not the shutdown guy he once was...teams actually throw his way now, they never used to.

if Denver gets a pass rush tho, the other teams will stop, but for now, i understand why they are, he can't shut a WR down every time

How about we settle this after the season, can't really talk now.

if you want

until we see how asante plays out.

I need to correct the guy who commented on Lito and Asante need to move up until Lito gets traded. He should probably know that Lito while on the roster now is the 3rd CB. So it is Asante and Sheldon and it will never be different even if the Eagles keep Lito. Sheldon will not be moved to safety like some may think.
with all being said, I do disagree with your 4 and 5.
Al Harris is average at best. He's a PI penalty waiting to happen. Charles Woodson hasn't been good since leaving Oakland. All name value for both.
Speaking of name value, Quentin Jammer is just that. Has a great name for a corner. But break out the butter and JAMmer for him, because he got toasted alot last season.

al harris AVERAGE at best??? Charles Woodson not good??? What football-less planet do you come from.
Quentin Jammer is a beast. What team is Lito on right now? The eagles. So the top corners on the eagles are Lito and Asante. Lito will be traded, but Until then Lito and Asante are the best tandem.

Until any tandems play a couple of games, it's ludicrous to say your tandem is the best.

I'm basing 3 of the 5 from lasy year and the other 2 on how I think they'll pan out this season

I know. Was just commenting to the Philly guy. Assante and Lito are already number one and they haven't played a down yet.

Funny how Asante and LITO are #1 to Philly fans, but they want to trade Lito. WTF?

Yeah, TC, that is very contradictory on their part, for sure. Let's trade 1/2 of our number one tandem so we can be worse in the secondary.

What do Dallas fans think of Newman FIVER? I saw some improvement in him this year, but I still wasn't overly impressed.

In response to you TC...many of us DON'T want to trade Lito. However, we have to deal with the inevitability of him not being around next season. If he truly is as unhappy as everybody says he is then he'll be a distraction in the offseason, something we don't need. If he could stay and play, he'd be the starter. He'd have to earn it, but hes better than Shay Bro when healthy.

Newman is getting beat a lot less these days and I think he had a good year last year. Not sure I would rate him as a top five though. I think Pacman is a better cover corner than him.

Would you agree though that alot of the hype (for lack of a better word) that he is receiving is due to the fact the Cowboys had such a great regular season? I mean we see it every year that the best teams in the league earn the most probowl spots whether the players are truly deserving or not.

I didn't see Newman getting burned very much last year, did you?

He has improved...but isnt a probowl caliber CB yet

I just went in and checked his stats and he is getting a lot less passes thrown his way the last two years. I always go in and check stats when someone starts questioning me on stuff. I think he deserved the alternate position he got this year. QB's are going away from him now as a sign of respect, unlike the first couple of years he was in the league. Maybe this next season he makes it. Who knows? I just know he got the job done this past season and that's really all I care about.

Ok, I'm WAY LATE reading & replying, but I HAVE to tell you that I am an Eagles fan who does NOT want to see Lito traded. The Eagles defenses under Reid have been their best when we have 3 starting-caliber CB's. (Al Harris / Rod Hood @ the Nickel) Lito is currently listed as Samuel's backup because they both play the same side of the field, but we all know that depth charts can change. The possibility of keeping Brown on the field as a Safety is intriguing, but I can't claim to know what the coaching staff will do. Samuel / Sheppard is #1 on paper, while Samuel / Brown is # 2 behind Hall / Asomugha, and ahead of Bailey / Bly, Woodson / Harris and Jammer / Cromartie.

yea theres no denying Champ may be the best EVER. But hes def not the champ of a few years ago, although he can always turn things back around...he still has some time i think for sure

Champ Bailey, isn't ronnie Lott, Night Train Lane, Deion Sanders, Rod Woodson. So i think I AM denying that champ is the best ever. ( note that many more could, and do, easily fit on that list)

after he's done tho, I think he will be the best. he still has at least 5 more years, he's only 29

He'll be on that list when hes done rhcp...he's well on pace to be one of the best ever.

yeah, he's 29 and has 42 INT's all ready

my vote is the raider tandem. asante was a system corner for new england where he benefitted from a unique scheme which turned him into a robber instead of the safety. I think philly fans will be highly dissapointed. and deangelo hall is far from garbage. if anyone can tell me the name of the corner who played opposite of him without googling it first id be surprised.

Nah, Hall is bad, all he tryies to do is get picks and gets burned

Denver #1 and Dallas #2??? Now, that's some good sh*t!!!
