The strength of the AFC Pro Bowl team?
Its cornerbacks, even if it didn't show in Sunday's glorified scrimmage.
After the game, I had a chance to speak to Darrelle Revis and Nnamdi Asomugha about the Vontae Davis and Sean Smith, respectively.
Asomugha on Smith: "I saw him playing in the Jets game that came on national TV. I was impressed with the way he was using his hands at the line of scrimmage. A lot of times when you get a longer guy, early in his career, he doesn't figure out that he can use his hands at the line of scrimmage. I was happy that he had figured that out. And he's already getting playing time as a rookie, so he's already ahead of where I was. I didn't start playing corner until my third year in the league. The sky's the limit for a guy with that size."
Revis on Davis: "Vontae's good, man. Vontae's real good. I saw him the other day, he's like, 'I'm going to be there (in the Pro Bowl) with you next year. I said, 'Hey, come on, man.' You've got to have a little confidence, and that's the thing I like about him, is he will go up against guys and he's not scared. He wants the competition. He's going to be here sooner or later. He even told me, 'I want to watch film with you, to see how you study.' So he just wants to get better."
its from Sun Sent blog sorry I'm in a rush so did it quick liek this.
