And Browner will get beat by speed. But if Baldwin and Brandon meet in the middle of the field, I am not picking Doug to win that battle, ya know?
Get beat by what speed? seriously. Brandon will need to slow down in order for Doug to meet him in the middle of the field. Doug can't run a kick off past the 12 yard line and had great difficulty getting separation while being covered by line backers. Doug needs to worry about playing better himself not about Deion or any one else. He made some plays at the end but he needs to play like that the whole game for what he is being paid.
Baldwin is fast enough, but his game isn't straight-line speed. So what if a long-strider like BB would beat him by 5 yards in a 100-yard dash? On the times that BB doesn't jam him well at the LOS, Baldwin will torch BB and get open with his elusiveness. Baldwin will His game is elusive, ankle-breaking cuts and zigs and zags, double moves, getting separation, together with chemistry with Russell Wilson for Russell to know where Doug will be. (Highly similar to St. Largent's game in this way) Baldwin's game translates well against Browner, and I believe it will work well enough against Revis also. Plus the Seattle coaches know Browner well and will set up plays that neutralize his strengths.
Mainly Baldwin needed to be better on kick returns. Let's not let his bad KR judgment influence the view of his WR play. So Baldwin had one (rare) drop. The rest of his WR play was pretty darn good, aight and better.
