On Thursday, Bucky Brooks gave his Top 5 NFL cornerbacks of 2016. Aqib Talib made the list, but Chris Harris Jr. is curiously missing. Instead, the Kansas City Chiefs Marcus Peters was on the list. The kid had a ton of interceptions, but was burned for big plays far more often. I think I'd take the shut down Harris over the burned deep Peters every day of the week.
That guy @ChrisHarrisJr gets no respect. #NoFlyZone https://t.co/UJIHmbn8st

Frankly, I didn't expect that tweet to start a little spat between Harris and Brooks, but I'm certainly glad Harris joined me in calling Brooks out.
@MileHighReport @BuckyBrooks @LT_21 idk if I ever read anything good coming from Bucky about me . I love it

You may recall, as all of Broncos Country would, that Brooks had first the New England Patriots, then the Carolina Panthers shredding this defense in the playoffs.
@ChrisHarrisJr @MileHighReport It's not hate.. It's an opinion.. Both teams can't win.. I picked NE.. Kudos to your squad

Bucky should should stuck with his assessment of the Denver Broncos defense from October, when he noted that they could be one of the best defenses of all-time. But hey, none of us are perfect ... or right.
@ChrisHarrisJr @MileHighReport Funny. I heaped nothing but praise on you and your teammates in October... https://t.co/xLYxeyE0zJ

Eric Goodman and Les Shapiro from The Afternoon Drive mentioned LaDainian Tomlinson's comments about there being no shut down corners in the NFL anymore, which also ties into Bucky Brook's column from Thursday. They talked about it with former Broncos safety Nick Ferguson who agreed that Harris is about as good as a shut down corner as you could get in the NFL today.
