The Raiders and Broncos can fight for second.

I agree, the cowboys do have the best corner combo in the league with Terrance Newman and Pacman Jones, not to mention Anthony Henry and the rookie Mike Jenkins. Now if they could only dump Roy Williams and move Anthony Henry to Safety then they would have the best secondary in the league.

Not true at all, please don't make stuff up. Irvin has a job with espn radio and is doing well. Unless your getting some news nobody else gets. Must be an eagles fan.

I'm glad some one is living in the real world.

So your going by madden player ratings to say who is the best corner combo in the league? LMAO!

I would rate the CB tandems 1) Eagles 2) Oakland 3) Cowboys. Asmougha is clearly the best CB in football. No one throws his side (lowest % in the league) and of the passes thrown his way he intercepts about 40 % of them. I think Hall is a good corner not on that elite level but still very good. They also have the youngster stanford routt who has impressed many. As far as the eagles, the trio of the Sheppard, Samuel, Brown is better then dallas's quartet. However I am a nayser of Samuel in the Eagles man system where they will leave him on an island. Personally watching this guy play first hand the last couple of years, the Pats always had safety help for him which allowed him to play that gamble style of corner. He also thrived in a zone defense and already there are bad releases out of eagles camp how he is struggling. I realize its camp but I just dont think he will play to that top 5 CB title, he will still be good but not worth the money he received

1.) Oakland 2.) Denver 3.) Dallas 4.) Eagles Asante is overated.
