Morris Claiborne dropped from #1 to #2 on Rivals top 25 DBs (what a crime)

    In terms of all out "baller", Honey Badger has no equal. The definition of "playmaker" has a picture of Tyrann.

    In terms of lock-down corner, Mo is my top choice.

    When you need a play--need the ball back or blitzing the QB, I LOVE it when #7 is near the line of scrimmage or around the ball carrier. But when the balls thrown deep, no body (not even TM7) comforts me more than Mo Claiborne in stride with the WR.

    #13 does an excellent imitation of #7

    Its very simple... He is not a cover corner. I never said he is a bad DB. He will never line up in a man2man scheme and excel. He could be great in a zone scheme, though his size could be an issue there, as zone DBs are expected to make more plays in run D.

    on two different occasions you said he was a "liability in coverage" and "has been exposed several times"

    Pretty strong words.

    And very off base.

    Of the top 4 CBs on the team he is the weakest in man coverage... So yes, he has been exposed in MAN COVERAGE several times.
