CB Corey Webster drew tough assignments during the playoff run, covering the opponent's top receivers including Owens and Moss, two of the best ever. So we know he can do it. What are the essential ingredients which insure continued high-level defensive back play? Good health and confidence. So far, Webster's dictionary includes the game winning interception in the NFC Championship game, in OT, at Lambeau, picking off Brett Favre's last pass. Not bad. Member of the 2007 World Champion New York Giants. Also not bad. The most important entry? He's just coming into his prime, playing in a scheme that features athleticism. A dash of heightened confidence, add the spice of experience -- knowing how to take care of the instrument, the weapon, the body, keeping it healthy. Webster has a big dropoff in play when he plays hurt. Ideally, new entries in the Webster dictionary might include a few more World Championships and big interceptions -- but can you imagine a bigger one than the pick that won Ice Bowl 3? The pick, Slick Eli, and the kick. Something tells me Webster's a player. He didn't hang his head when he was in the dog house. He accepts challenges. Has the physical tools, including anticipation which you cannot really teach.
