Jerry Jones - "Deion Could've Stopped Megatron"

[RAY V.]

The Dallas Cowboys clearly do not have a cornerback on their roster capable of covering
Calvin Johnson,but owner/general manager Jerry Jones thinks that one from their past would have been up to the task.

[EPDC]

Such heroic nonsense....

 

[alexw]

It wouldve been a great matchup

Deion wouldve definitely got some picks since Stafford isnt accurate but Calvin wouldve gotten his too

 

[Kwame Coltrane]

Tiny Brent grimes shut him down the last time atl played detroit

 

[1900KiLLa]

Jerry is right and wrong, Deion would give Megatron all types of trouble, but contrary to what people believe, Prime was very physical, had great hands and was master of getting away with alotta shit. I say all that to say this, in today's watered down game the flags would fly as soon as he got in his back pedal
They don't want Defense anymore & the shit is sad

 

[Backshot Bully]

this is the funniest shit, mutha fuckas went back to "if we had deion"

Jerry Jones, be like Nike ( JUST DO IT) why not add Emmit and Troy Aikman while were talking about it FOH

 

[max-dawg]

before the ball arrived, deion would make it tough to complete a pass due to his quickness.

but after a completion, the only way he'd stop cj is by slinging jehri curl juice in his eyes...causing him to run in circles.

[brickwall92]

One on one... can any db in history really stop megatron ?

he's not a big for nothing... he's big ,fast and really talented....

With a corner like Prime the QB would have alotta responsibility to make precise throws he ain't separating from Deion

this

only two people sonned deion and they are both hall of famers in rice and irvin

they ran alot of hitches against deion

no way did the cowboys or niners ever throw deep on deion

so like i previously said, stafford would be the problem but megatron would still get his

but some games deion is taking that bitch back for 6

I don't remember Deion making too many tackles

or are you being sarcastic?

i disagree

i think its almost one of the highest compliments you can give a receiver

like damn, we need the greatest cb ever to matchup with you

 

[alexw]

you have a bad memory then

deion was the king of the shoestring tackle

 

[dtownsfinest]

It depends. Is it 1993 or is it 2013? Because in 2013 the NFL is catered for a Calvin Johnson to do well. If its 1993 where corners area allowed to play more aggressive? I'd take Deion.

not sure if serious.

I would say Megatron and Moss would son Deion especially miss in his prime

 

[Dark19]

Only Person I Can Think Of Right Now That Could Really Play Him Straight Up

 

[Pow Wow]

not sure if serious.

Stafford isn't accurate. He has a high completion % mainly due to Calvin, Bush and Co. adjusting to high /inaccurate throws.

he never had to make too many tackles because he wasn't seeing much action.

running the ball to his side, he might not have came in and lay the hat but he wasn't scared to get in there and mix it up.

there was probably a 5 or 6 year window where he would intentionally bait the qb into thinking the wr was open, ball thrown and deion picks it.

after that ploy was up he just stuck to your favorite wr and there wasn't really anything you could do unless your name was jerry rice and mike irving and flipper anderson on that 1 play

 

[dtownsfinest]

not sure if serious.

Deion was known for "Making business decisions....". Shit I think that's his own quote if i'm not mistaken.

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

not sure if serious.

he isn't

being capable of making a great throw doesn't make you accurate.

rarely missing on throws makes you accurate.

 

[Backshot Bully]

Just admit y'all some sore losers , y'all lost game over fuck all that time machine talk.

 

[alexw]

I would say Megatron and Moss would son Deion especially miss in his prime

nobody is sonning deion

and moss isnt beating deion deep nor is he going across the middle like rice and irvin

i think deion owns moss and gets into his head causing an epic meltdown

he plays corner back not linemen, lb or safety.

39 tackles means he was rarely caught on. that's just a testament to how good he was thanks for posting that

man how old are you?

nothing worse than debating children or dudes who are just out of childhood

 

[brickwall92]

Calvin...Megatron..Johnson.. wouldn't need much separation to make a catch...

He's the Lebron James of wideouts...

"During his 14-year NFL career, Sanders was a perennial All-Pro and one of the most feared pass defenders to ever play the game. While critics argued that his tackling was poor and he was not much of a factor in run support, they could not deny his closing speed."

moss could moss deion and there's not really anything he could do about it.

everything else you said is true.

I am not going to argue with u. u obviously don't watch the lions play and didn't see that game winning drive.
