Is Cortez Allen the worst starting DB in the NFL?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I'd take Deshea back in a moment. He was not a casualty to the defense

Deshea Townsend played up to his potential as much as any Steeler I've ever seen play, I always appreciated his contributions and 100% effort...

People forget how Ike struggled early in his career. Maybe a good benching would stimulate Cortez into getting his act together and earning that contract.

Remember Cowher benching him after Javon Walker destroyed him in denver

How is that racist?

Why would you possibly mention a players skin color?

because white cornerbacks are rare?


Not sure I would be offended if someone said there was a black FG kicker better than Reed his last year here.

It's obviously a joke....

Are any white CB's or Black FG kickers...

Not since Jason Sehorn....my ****ing hero

[fezziwig]

Jason is the only white corner I remember. Paint a player/coach any color you want but when it comes down to getting the job done that is the person I want.

He has been completely awful for 3 games. He was dominant against Carolina, played well against Jacksonville, but reverted back to how he played week one vs the browns and week 2 vs the ravens last week.

When hes supposed to be the best player on the defense, he is not getting it done at that level. Not good at all.

Off the top of my head I believe he is leading the Steelers in sacks at 3. I mean the man has to generate pressure by himself. Certainly no one is giving him any help.

His pass rushing is not the problem, hes been fine there

Is cornerback Cortez Allen in danger of losing his starting job to Brice McCain? Tomlin said McCain, who logged just 13 snaps in Cleveland, could play more Monday night against the Houston Texans in part because of the “inconsistent play of others.” Allen had a tough game in Cleveland, giving up a 51-yard touchdown catch to tight end Jordan Cameron. Allen did not get any safety help on the play, and Tomlin said he should not have expected it with the Browns in third-and-one near midfield. “He’s got to be able to stay on top of that tight end and prevent that type of play from happening,” Tomlin said.

Off the top of my head he has 2

He has 3 and his sacks stats are up from last year. His overall tackle total isn't off by much. I think Heyward is the least of this teams problems.

Getting horribly washed out (and worilds) on any zone runs to the right side.

Intense player, but has been boom or bust this year....big hit on the QB followed by doing nothing

[Chadman]

Here's a question.....do we miss Woodley?

If you miss having another overpaid stiff out there...sure.
