munnerlyn stats that may (or may not) surprise you

[stratopanther]

Dudes a straight playmaker

[JawnyBlaze]

FOUR? Fug yeah. One this past game, one against the Browns a few years ago, and when else?

 

 

Seattle last year missing the last one though..............

 

He had two last year, I forget who the other one was against though.

Seattle and Tampa Bay last year

I feel like there is a lot of unneeded hate for the Capt, he isn't perfect but he is a quality starting CB.

[Doyle]

He's a playmaker for sure.  I've always thought it was his lack of size that makes him average at coverage.

[CRA]

One of the best nickels in the game....people hate on him bc we ask him to more than a nickel

[PantherFanOne]

A few years ago a lot of fans ( including many Huddlers) were wanting Panthers CB Captain Munnerlyn released. It shows how little some fans know about talent evaluation.

My problem with Captain comes when we try to play him outside.

[Seal (SmittyIsOurSavior)]

Everyone is saying they hate him playing outside, but guess the only time he has played outside!? The past two years, in which he has THREE pick-6's and has allowed only ONE touchdown.

[WilmyWood]

Re-sign him.

 

I pie'd you not only because I agree with you, but you also know the difference between re-sign and resign.  If I could double pie, I would.

That's simply untrue.  I believe it was his second year, the year Marshall was released, he was starting outside opposite Gamble and he was the worst CB in the league.  The past two years he's been playing predominantly in the nickle, where he's good, and that's why he has three pick-6s and allowed fewer TDs.

Great stat, but I'm not overally surprised.  Captain is generally playing the guy in the slot who's a lot of shot crossing routes, or routes into the flats.  If Capt gets a pick,  it's probably not far from the line of scrimmage, there aren't many people in front of him, and by the time anyone realizes he has the ball it's too late.  It's different for the outside corners, who will generally have an extra 20+ yards to run and several more people to make miss.  

 

That being said, Captain is a premiere Nickel, but really doesn't need to be one of the starting 2.

[MasterAwesome]

I'm assuming Captain was covering Victor Cruz in the slot when he did absolutely nothing against us in our game against the Giants this year? That was pretty impressive....obviously the pass rush was dominant that game, but it still seemed like solid coverage all around.

He's been playing outside CB since last year. It started out with Gamble & Norman, Norman got benched & Gamble landed on IR, and Captain and later Thomas were starting outside for much of the year.

 

This year, it has again been Captain starting outside in every game I believe. He may move into the nickel in certain formations, but he's always on the field, even in 2 CB sets.
