Charles Woodson or Darren Sharper?December 3, 2009
To the Charles Woodson folk out there, 21 is half of 42. So Darren’s gotta be better right? If only it were that simple. I’m a natural Woodson from since I been on the porch. I also love ball hawking free safeties i.e. Ed Reed, Sean Taylor, Kwame Lassiter, Eric Turner etc. This year that ball hawking safety is Darren Sharper. Before I start my debate with myself let’s look at the numbers, because it’s the wise thing to do, Sean Carter taught me that they don’t lie and I believe him.
Darren Sharper
33 years old. 13th NFL season out of William & Mary
2009 Stat Line ( I’m not putting “Games Started” we ain’t stupid, we know they started they both raw!)
Games Played Tackles Sacks Pass Defensed Picks Housed Forced Fumbles
10 46 0.5 13 8 3 0
Charles Woodson
33 years old. 12th season out of Michigan. He’s earned defensive player of the week twice this year and was named Defensive Player of the November.
2009 Stat Line
Games Played Tackles Sacks Pass Defensed Picks Housed Forced Fumbles
11 54 2 11 7 2 4
Ight, so from the numbers you’d have to ride with Sharper because he has more picks and tds and has played one less game. Yes numbers don’t lie when it comes to selling music, but they may not tell the whole truth when it comes to football. Two of Woodson’s picks came against Carson Palmer. One pick against Palmer was while Woodson was playing nickel corner on 3rd down and out played the tight end and outsmarted Palmer and took it back for six. The second pick of Palmer came while he was in Man under coverage on Chad OchoCinco and he intercepted the most impossible to pick off which is a stop fade route.
We all saw his performance against Dallas a few weeks back. Total domination. He recorded 9 tackles, 1 sack, 2 forced fumbles, 1 pass defensed and 1 pick. He single-handedly defeated the Cowboys by himself.
What he did to poor old Matt Stafford was rude too. Someone needs to tell his mama on him for what he did to that boy. Woodson amassed 6 tackles, 1 sack, 4 passes defensed, 2 picks one of which he housed, and 1 forced fumble. A stat line like that for a 33 year old man makes me sick to my stomach.
The good thing about Woodson is that one he puts his head in there and ain’t afraid to lay the wood on a sucka. Second thing is that he’s so versatile. When Bradon Stokley was tearing up the slot for the Colts a few years back people could not stop it. Now Wes Welker is doing the same. Solution? Take your boundary/short corner and have him man up on the slot and have everyone else on his side play zone coverage or blitz the hell out of the quarterback making the slot receiver the hot read while having him covered by your best corner. Whoever came up with this solution is genius.
He’s not a spring chicken like he once was so no more returning punts for him. I would have loved to see the Raiders let him take on this duty full time when he was younger or run back kickoffs. Also, it would have been cool if they really let him play offense consistently.
To say that Darren Sharper has “just be in the right place at the right time” could be fair if you knew nothing about football. Being at the right place at the right is exactly what he is paid to do and has made a healthy living off of. I mean 8 picks in 10 games. Serious business baby, don’t forget the 13 passes defensed. At safety he’s not busting heads as you’d like or causing as many fumbles. (Pause) Oh yeah, I forgot what he did to Kevin Faulk on Monday Night Football last week where he also recorded a pick as well.
It’s a toss up right now. If you’re playing strictly a numbers game you gotta roll with Sharper, but if you look inside the numbers you gotta ride with Woodson. If I had my pick, I’d take Woodson. He’s a corner right now but once he’s speed leaves him, he’ll have enough intelligence to slide back and play safety for another five years. He also brings the wood, causing fumbles, and leads his defense on top of the picks. Also his ability to slide down the line and play the slot is virtually invaluable. Either both of these cats are in their mid-30s playing out of their minds and need to get mad love. Yeah, Brett Favre, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, and Chris Johnson are all the MVP rage, but defense wins championships and Woodson and Sharper are going to play a pivotal role if their team wins the Super Bowl. (Well maybe Sharper, we all know the Packers ain’t gone make that happen this year)
That’s all I got,

Thanks for the ideas you have discussed here. Yet another thing I would like to convey is that personal computer memory needs generally rise along with other improvements in the technological innovation. For instance, any time new generations of processor chips are introduced to the market, there is usually a matching increase in the type demands of both the pc memory as well as hard drive space. This is because software program operated by these cpus will inevitably rise in power to make use of the new engineering.

I’ve learned newer and more effective things from the blog post. One other thing I have recognized is that usually, FSBO sellers can reject a person. Remember, they would prefer not to ever use your providers. But if you actually maintain a stable, professional partnership, offering aid and staying in contact for about four to five weeks, you will usually be able to win interviews. From there, a house listing follows. Thanks a lot
Hello just thought i would tell you something.. This is twice now i’ve landed on your blog in the last 3 weeks searching for completely unrelated things. Spooky or what? Escorts Manchester

Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. This blog does have some great info though
Would you be fascinated about exchanging links?
i like your site style. Convey. I want to send this link to my friends also, because its interesting for us. you know. have a great sunny week!
Thank you for sharing this.
I’m having problems to grasp a concept why single moms are trying to get a man by any chance, just to get them to bed. Here’s comes the moment where boys could get a chick for one night fun, by not having to lie her a bit. Have you ever heard of a milf hunter? I guess you didn’t. A milf hunter is a man that is looking for beautiful solo matures. I was wondering why single moms are looking for a guy that support them all the time. Let me hear your thoughts.

I totally agree with you. Woodson is playing outside, covering the slot on 3rd downs, making the defensive calls, forcing fumbles. Sharper has more Ints and passes defensed but Woodson has created more turnovers. The only problem is that when Woodson gets the ball back for his offense the ball goes to Aaron Rodgers, when Sharper does it, it goes to Drew Brees.
I’ll admit to being extremely bias, since Woodson’s my favorite Heisman winner of all-time, and his Heisman success translated over to NFL greatness (we certainly can’t say this is the same for other Heisman winners in recent memory), so Imma go with Woodson. No disrespect to Sharper, but what Woodson is doing this year, at corner, is beyond real. If the Packers hadn’t gotten off to such a bad start, I don’t think the debate would be as close.
