Which is the point Reese made, before he added: "When you talk about abilitywise and potentialwise, yes, it's there. Sheldon is [similar to] Troy. Troy was the better ballhawk than Sheldon is. Asante is a better corner than Bobby Taylor was, but just not as physical at the point of attack."
"What this secondary lacks is that we had a: Brian Dawkins in his prime and b: Al Harris, a legitimate starting cornerback [who played nickel]. That's not a knock against [Sheppard and Hanson]. If Lito was playing [more often] ... and Joselio is going to be a good corner ... but that's the only thing that would hold them back from being as good as those guys."
