Pretty simple: Who is the better cornerback tandem, Richard Sherman and Brandon Browner of the Seattle Seahawks or Charles Tillman and Tim Jennings of the Chicago Bears?

I won't vote, to remove bias opinions.

Edit: I voted, but just to see what the results were Very Happy

Along with what the people above me said, the Seahawks CBs, particularly Sherman, have masted the contact within 5 yards rule and that really benefits them.

i don't know why this is even a thread... we play against the bears duo twice a year, and twice a year its a win. idk what the big deal is. the seahawks, even though we won against them also, they at least held our offense down quite a bit.

I'll take the Seahawks. I feel like Tillman is overachieving and Jennings get's smoked on occasion.

Great tandem either way. Both tandems are great at forcing turnovers, great in coverage, and great in run support. I wouldn't trade our tandem for anyone, but I think the Bears corners fit their system much better so I'm sure they wouldn't switch with any tandem either.

Both tandems are great where they are. Switch systems and both duos are out of their comfort zone. Though I would think, no matter the system that if you have Richard Sherman you just let him play man to man against the other teams best.

I'll take the guys that are better in run defense. I'll also take the tandem with the best overall cover corner of this group...by far

Thatll be Seattle

If you run zone? Go for the Bears duo. If you run a man-heavy or a press system? Go for the Seahawks duo.

Based on things like measurables and age, I would pick the Seahawks duo. They are younger, bigger and are as much a playmaker as Charles Tillman and Tim Jennings are.

I would take Sherman and BB because of their size. Most of the top WR's in this league are tall, freakish athletes and shutting them down requires some size as well.
