How many corners look good when going up against Hopkins? Jalen Ramsey couldn't even lock him down last week.
DeAndre Hopkins faced Jalen Ramsey on 26 of his 39 routes in Week 10 (67%).

Hopkins caught 8 of 10 targets for 83 yards with Ramsey in coverage, the most receptions allowed by a defender to a receiver over the last two seasons.#AZvsLAR | #BirdCityFootball pic.twitter.com/3KRiJJw8y9
Ramsey is not a shutdown corner any longer and started getting burnt pretty regular mid to 3/4 last season,in the SB and continuing on this year. Ramsey is overated.
As far as Mooney goes, love the signing and he is the best corner on the team but he's not a lockdown corner like Deion or Revis ,but I don't worry when the ball goes his way not to play it solid. Sometimes he will give up some plays but true shutdown corners are rare.
I'd say Mooney is a good restrictive corner instead of lockdown corner. One things for sure,he beats the h"ll out of Josh "free 15" Norman.
Agreed. Ward has been very good for us, one of our better FA acquisitions in some time. As you said he's not lock down, Hopkins got his yards, but he's better than we had and is the best CB on this team.
