He gives up some plays, but everyone does. In New York, any blemishes are put under the magnifying glass, but Rodgers-Cromartie is a quality NFL cornerback. He can play man, he can play zone, he’s capable of matching up with teams’ No. 1 receivers and doing a good job on them. The guy is athletically gifted, and all of this is without much of a pass rush. This was the worst defense in the league last year. They had a revolving door of safeties, but it’s unfair to put the brunt of that on DRC. When you study the film, he was one of the lone bright spots on that defense a year ago.
