Welcome to McCourty Island!!! FYI, the fans in red here on the island are Rutgers fans from Devin's college days. I have been hereon the island for a few years already, so if you have any questions please feel free to ask. Enjoy your stay.
The Jets stayed away all night and when they tried...LOL
You were absolutely right on the mark about this kid. I have no idea where we'd be without him.
I thought McCourty had a very good game tonight. He had perfect coverage on the INT although the pass was a gift. Sanchez barely looked in his direction because he had great coverage. He did have one really bad attempt at a tackle though.
He was a bit late getting over on Edwards on that play and definitely missed the tackle, but he's been a really consistent tackler throughout the year. I can forgive him that one, especially after running around like a jet.
The best part is McCourty managed to get his INTs without gambling and just playing smart defense. Asante is a really, really good cornerback, even top-flight, but McCourty has the makings of a god-tier long term defensive star, in the vein of Ty Law.
That's one of the great things about him, he doesn't gamble or take huge risks to pad those INT stats like Asante. It's weird to think one of the knocks against him in the draft was his low INT total, which had some wondering about his ball skills. Guess that's been proven wrong.
Placeholder gif until I can do a better one.
Love it, thanks. Will throw the final version in my avatar, but for now I can watch this on loop all morning :singing:
