Counterpoint - why do you need all those pads to play your version of Rugby/Australian rules?

I went solo to London in June 2010. Other than a one day bus ride to Stonehenge, Roman baths, and a town kept 13th century for tourists and movies, I just ran around London going to museums and checking touristy sites. I couldn't believe you get within arm's reach of Van Gogh's. It was kind of spur of the moment cuz American was doubling miles, so I basically made gold on that trip. Cool story bro.

Roman baths are pretty cool and york was even better. Pub on every block and the Guinness was cold. 5 course meal at the etihad watching man city was up there as well.

Yep. I was watching his highlights and there were times I was yelling at the screen. "That's not the gap to take!" Then he'd redirect, run around traffic, and make the tackle. Dude just needs coaching and competition. He's got all the tools to be a damn good player.

I guess you could say he needs to learn how to mind the gap.
 
Heh. “Mind the gap”. That’s meant to have people be careful when getting on and off the subway in London. Thing is, the gap between the platform and the train is like 3 inches. It’s hardly worth the attention it gets, but “mind the gap” has become a London trademark. I digress.

Anyone who questions the toughness of rugby players is a fool. They hit hard, they bleed, break bones, tear up joints.

It isn't though the repetitive collisions that exist in American football.

To question the toughness of players in either sport makes no sense. They are different kinds of violence but each is violence based.

Agreed. I love both.

If we're talking cover corners, I go 1) Sanders 2) Revis and 3) Green. Woodson and Champ join those guys in my top 5 with the "complete corner" consideration. Overall, I've got Deion-Rod a close 1-2 with them being separated from the other 3.

Respectable opinion. Out of that group, I see Prime as the weakest tackler. To me, that’s what keeps it much closer.
 
Woodson was a freaking safety with lockdown corner skills. Weren't many like him. Yeah I know he was a corner first. A big, fast, and physical one.

This, Prime could be a liability against the run game.

He was also a guy who took chances to make the spectacular play but as a result also gave up some plays.

As a pure corner I like Champ and Woodson. Guys who got fewer INTs because teams just simply didn't bother trying them.

Beauty contest though. You could take any of them in either order and be right or wrong depending on criteria and who is judging.

True, but he cut the field in half. That seems to help a bit. :D
