by the fact that they brought Wynn back, this, I believe, will be an extended injury. maybe even a month or so

But the fact that most QBs are right handed you often get more deep passes and the better WR on the right side. Most QBs don't have the arm-strength to throw the deep patterns across their body to the left side.
If you want to know who is better, just watch to see where the #1 receiver lines up. Since the Iggles play LIto and Sheldon on the same side, the opposition will game plan for their matchup. I trust the OC will know a bit more than us on who is the better corner. But, even this wont always tell you the story, since there are style matchups, size matchups, or patterns that receivers run better against certain corners. So, the best way to gauge these guys is by watching film. Stats do not tell the whole story.
I like Brown better because I KNOW he is a better tackler and more physical than Lito. He also doesn't gamble like Lito. But, I have no idea who is the better lock down corner. I'm just glad that they are both very good. Oh yeah, Sheldon's body holds up better too.
IMK, nice stats though.Pedro

Exactly. Our level of play at the #3 CB spot is now frightening. This is a significant concern fellas.http://shop.cafepress.com/content/global/img/spacer.gifOK, let's try this again...

From recent Brookover article (whatever that's worth)
Some NFL people believe Hood is a better cornerback than Sheppard, who went to the Pro Bowl two years ago. Hood certainly has a lot of confidence and some impressive work to back it up.
According to Pro Football Prospectus 2006, Hood was the third-best cornerback in the NFL last season at stopping pass plays that were targeted in his direction. Teammate Sheldon Brown ranked fourth and Sheppard was 79th. The same publication listed Hood as allowing the fewest amount of yards on passes thrown his way, with a 4.9-yard average. Sheppard ranked 81st in the league with a 10.4-yard average.http://shop.cafepress.com/content/global/img/spacer.gifOK, let's try this again...

I don't think Lito is going to be healthy enough resume his starting duties till at least mid season. At this point I think when Lito comes back he will be eased in as the 3rd corner.
BTW we really need to consider resigning Hood to a starting caliber contract. If not we better be looking at using our 1st round pick on a cornerbackWere from Philly F in Philly no one likes us we DON'T CARE!

You beat me to the punch in commenting about the Brookover article. it was very interesting reading. The other bit of info that caught my attention was this:
Hood covered 6-foot-5 Plaxico Burress, and although he gave up six inches in height, he held the wide receiver to two catches for 34 yards. It was Burress' least-productive day of the regular season.

Understand this - when I say I think Hood is better than Lito, I'm not denigrating Lito at all. I'm saying that I think Hood is better. I'm not trying to say that Lito is overrated (I never thought he was a Pro Bowler, but Pro Bowl selections are so bad overall it's hard to single out Lito), and I'm not trying to say Lito isn't a good corner. I'm saying that I think Hood is better. And I think I've laid out a reasonable case here, that at the very least shows it's not a kneejerk pull-for-the-underdog, philly-fan-bashing-their-own reaction.
Oh, and that Brookover article just shows you that this board give you tomorrow's numbers today.
