Remember the days of 5'10 CB's

[Renohawk]

OMG, how sick are we now with the LOB, big corners that look like outside LB's that harass and battle the WR down the field on each play and try and deny every ball thrown. Not long ago, it was how many 5'10" corners can we market and watch them play catch and tackle. The days of watching ball after ball thrown and be caught, only to have our small corners ankle tackling downfield.

WE are lucky.

Lol Remember Kelly Jennings

 

[Renohawk]

He was the worst of the bunch.

Haha a few weeks ago while watching a preseason game, I looked at my brother and said "Remember Kelly Jennings?"...We both stopped for a second and started cracking up, we are SO spoiled now...specially compared to the old days, I think the only DB I ever liked back then besides Trufant was Wilson.

 

[Showmeyourtd's]

hahahaha Kelly Jennings, I think I can run Kelly Jennings over.

 

[Sac]

I'd beer interested to see if Kelly Jennings could make it as a slot receiver.

He'd probably get open, I'm not too sure about the catching the ball part though.

 

[Hawks46]

Walter Thurmond is only 5'11". Just sayin'

 

[HawkFan72]

Remember when everyone was mad that we traded away Josh Wilson?

 

[MontanaHawk05]

Earl Thomas and Walter Thurmond are both under 6 feet.

Our secondary isn't awesome purely because they're tall. There's a million techniques that a CB has to get right, and our guys simply do.

 

[LawlessHawk]

Wasn't Kelly Jenning's like 4' 11", they just listed him at 5' 9"

Most were mad because Kelly Jennings was still on the team. I'm sure Kelly Jennings is a great guy but he was a HORRIBLE CB (sorry PE, it's true).

Pretty much, I'm 5' 9", if he was/is 5' 10-11, I'm 6' 5"!

A year or two ago I would play this drinking game when I watched bengals play. You took a drink every time Jennings let a receiver get a catch that went for 10+ yards you drink. If they were playing a good offense you were too hammered to walk by halftime

 

[oldhawkfan]

Remember when...CB's were 5'10' and QB's were 6'3"?

 

[Seafan]

Jennings is an inch taller than Earl. Height isn't everything.

 

[getnasty]

Kelly Jennings and Josh Wilson always in good position, never made a play.

 

[sutz]

I don't think 'luck' had a lot to do with it.
