Chris Wesseling (NFL.com) giving Cap some props

[top dawg]

In his Making The Leap list for week 8, Chris Wesseling says that Captain Munnerlyn is a prospect to make the leap to difference maker for our team.

 

Munnerlyn is following through on his bold offseason prediction that the Panthers can be the NFL's top defense. With Munnerlyn anchoring an unsung secondary, they rank in the top five in almost every important defensive category. Munnerlyn now has four career pick sixes, tying Mike Minter's franchise record. He hasn't allowed a single touchdown pass this season after surrendering only one in 2012.

 

 

Cap was always tough in the nickel package as far as I'm concerned. He's definitely an asset and someone you want on your team (IMO) if at all possible.

Love munny but i get real nervous when hes up against a tall guy..

Woukd really like to have 2 other solid corners on the outside, and him in the nickel. Thats where he is literally great.

[Argus Plexus]

Dat height mismatch tho...

Smitty plays just fine vs 6'+ corners. Cap has shown that he can manage. I wish that his play was observed as opposed to his measurables

Yes but Smiths vertical is ungodly for his size. That's something not every short guy has.

Rivera has said from day one that Cap was one of the best nickels he's ever seen...........

His attitude and work ethic are infectious, you needs guys like him on your team.

[Fan01]

Yeah, give me Cap over any 6'1" CB without his work ethic, smarts, and attitude.

[Snake]

What does the foxes say?

[Kurb]

He would be best if the NFL allowed a 12th player w/ no responsibility to cover anyone. Cap is a great football player, he's an average to below average corner.

[Jackofalltrades]

His numbers say otherwise.

Can't take anything from him.  There was a play he and a receiver went up for.  The receiver ended up coming down with a good catch but Captain was right there and had is hand on the ball trying to pry it free before the receiver hit the deck.   Though it was a reception Munnerlyn showed me some toughness.

Actually his pff grades say he's good against the run and average against the pass :-)
