QBs have a rating of 113.1 when throwing at Cason in 2014

[gettlemanjack]

Coming into the Bengals game, Antoine Cason and Melvin White were ranked 97th and 79th, respectively, by profootballfocus.com ranking of 102 NFL corners in pass coverage.

Both got negative PFF pass coverage grades vs the Bengals, -3.8 for Cason and -0.3 for White

PFF on Cason vs the Bengals:

Although he had a nice return on a gift interception, this was certainly his worst game of the year. He was picked on early and often by Andy Dalton, allowing nine catches on 12 targets for 92 yards and a touchdown, his fourth straight game allowing a score.

Signature Stat: Quarterbacks have a rating of 113.1 when throwing at Cason in 2014.

https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2014/10/13/refo-panthers-bengals-week-6/

in 2012, Cason's last season in San Diego, PFF rated him 108th out of 113 cornerbacks

In the preseason, this was the word on Cason:

Cason, 27, was viewed last offseason as a viable player to man the slot corner role, however, he fell out of favor with the Cardinals, and was relegated to a very limited role last season for Arizona, playing only 169 snaps total and grading out negatively according to ProFootball Focus. Cason is likely a depth signing for the Panthers who will compete for playing time as no more than the No. 3 corner.

some CBs to watch for 2015 Draft:

senior Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, Oregon

junior Marcus Peters, Washington

junior Trae Waynes, Mich St

juniors PJ Williams and Ronald Darby, both of Florida State

Try out Norman and White as starters?

[CollegePanther]

That's pretty good.

Yeah Cason is also a great tackler (Second on the team) and has forced three fumbles. And yeah the passer rating may be high but it doesn't show how often they are throwing his way. Cason has been very solid this year

[FearTheCats]

Cason hasn't really been that bad.

[Snake]

I would not call Cason Sold this year. He has been better than the rest of the joes.

[Mark S]

I wonder what it is for Godfrey. Talk about a bad game...

If he's in fact second on the team in tackles that's a horrible thing. A CB with alot of tackles typically means he's getting abused in the passing game. Example: Cason

Cason also fugged up big time yesterday when he poorly batted a ball and it still got to Sanu. Bengals ended up getting 3 when it easily could've been 6 the other way.

That beats the passer rating put up against Haden,Peterson, Verner, Claiburn, Carlos Rogers. Even Sherman, cromartie, Joseph, McKelvin and Janoris Jenkins are at or above 100.

according to pff, cason has been targeted 45x and allowed 36 receptions.

cason is solid in that he's there to make a tackle after a reception, but he's not a threat to make the qb think twice about throwing to whoever he's covering.

Not completely true. If you watch the games he actually comes up in the run game and makes great tackles a couple times a game and knocks the ball out every once in a while. He is getting most of his tackles because our front 7 is not what they were last year and he is making tackles down field on run plays because our line isnt getting great push. Also anyone in the league can get open with the amount of time the QBs have had to throw against us and you cannot blame that on Cason. Like I said Cason has been very solid and the only reason he is letting up catches at all is because the WRs have all the time in the world to get open.
