Rashean Mathis 41/87 574 yards 3td 16 PBU 10 stops 3 penalities 26 1st downs
Ranking: #27 PFF
Free Agent

Big pick up for Mayhew as the other corners really struggled. Mathis has little speed or ball skills left but is in good position. Could be back next year.

Chris Houston 46/76 683 yards 29 1st downs 3 td 2 int 7PBU 8 MT
Ranking: #96
4 years left on his contract

Horrible year for CH23. Gave up big plays. Injured only played 12 games. Hope he can make a comeback.

Bill Bentley 31/49 258 yards 2td 6 penalties 11 missed tackles 11s tops 6 PBU
Ranking#83

Improved season for Bill. Coverage is better but run support was poor. Still do not know if he is an NFL player.

Darius Slay 29/47 441 yards 5td 3 penalities 7 PBU
Ranking#93

Horrible beginning of the season for Darius. Got better. Got Hurt. Jury still out on him. Seems to have the tools, just needs to play the ball.

Don Carey 18/25 205 yards 2 td 5 penalties 12 special teams tackles
3 years left on contract

Terrible cover guy. good in run support. Not a CB. Good special teams guy. Hard to see him back in 2014.


Jonte Green 11/20 148 1 td 2 penalities 7 1st downs 4 missed tackles 3 PBU
2 years on contract

Still unproven. Injuries pressed him into service but started slow. Did finish strong against the Giatns but hurt his shoulder during practice and sat out the Vikings game. On the roster bubble again 2014


Chris Greenwood 5/8 47 yards 1 td
Exclusive Rights Free Agent

Pressed into service and did pretty well. Showed skills to cover and tackle. Did give up 2 catches to Patterson which lost the game. Has a future.

Louis Delmas 15/34 333 yards 3 int 13 MT 7 PBU 2 sacks 3 td
Ranking#25
1 year left on contract

Mostly down season for Delmas, Makes a lot of mistakes especially in coverage. Has limited range and instinct. Still can run the Alley in run support but is lost in the open field.

Glover Quin 18/38 246 yards 10 PBU 9 MT 3 int 1 td
Ranking: #11
4 years left on contract

Solid player but needs a free Safety next to him. He is limited in coverage and in range.

DeJon Gomes 33 snaps 2/2 19 yards 1 1st down 1 penalty 1 stop 7 special teams tackles
1 year left on contract

Really just a guy. When he was pressed into play, he was bad. See the Steelers game. Needs to be replaced.

John Wendling 15 special teams tackles (led the team)
Free agent

Great special teams guy. Bad Defensive back.

Akwasi Owusu-Ansah 1 game
2 years left on contract

Called up late from practice squad. Worth a look this spring.
