    Would you consider Dokes and Key as "shut down corners"?
    The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

      It all depends on the context of the question you are asking. In the whole aspect of the game of football no they are not shut down corners, there has only been one shutdown corner to come into the NFl in the last 20 years according to Mel Kiper and that was DEON Sanders and he was the last. If you are asking on the College D 1AA level I would say possible...these two guys are very talented youg men and can bang with the best of them. Al Key is more of the Lock down corner the Dre Dokes, eventhough Dre gets more of the accolades, but Dre is a playmaker (he gambles alot). You can make a case for us having the best secondary in the Gateway conference. Both of these guys will get a shot at they NFL.

        A good secondary is only as successful as their pass rush. A big key will be the Panthers putting the heat on the QB so that the DB's aren't out on an island forever.

          Reed - did you read the article? If not you should, that's pretty much their plan, throw a lot of pressure and get turnovers.

            No, I have a hard time reading anything by Kevin Evans.

              "...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."
