Welcome to Cleveland, Martin Emerson - CB - Miss St.

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Emerson has 33.5" arms... Rhodes might not be a bad comparison based on measurables...

I remember when the Browns took Antonio Langham in the first round. Amazing arm length but really tight hips, as I recall. Still fun watching him go-go gadget his arms to break up passes.
 
Who wins in a hautness fight? Emerson’s elegant arms or Okoro’s dead sexy thighs?
 
He's, uh, kind of special?
He's a good, physical corner. I really like him and, like I've been saying, he's our Greedy replacement. He's a great third corner. He's someone I'd keep on the outside and let Ward or Newsome play the more demanding inside role.

I actually think a lot of people are coming away thinking that almost interception is a highlight of his. I think it's a lowlight. He got beat on the route. Pickens had inside leverage and the corner boxed out to the boundary for an easy touchdown. We just got lucky that Trubisky sucked and Pickens couldn't haul it in.

If you're looking for an NFL comp, maybe Cam Dantzler? He's not as physical and as "I'm going to fuck you up" as Cam, but their play reminds me a lot of each other.

Not to be a dork, but he replaced the MJ Stewart role and I already call him a massive upgrade.

IDK, man, I think he's just as physical. Cam is elite at his physical play, and I think Emerson is right there with you.

I agree on the Pickens play, but it's only right after Pickens OBJ'd him when he had perfect coverage on Pickens.

That first Pickens catch should be an Emerson highlight. Coverage was perfect. Only thing he could've done differently is turned his head and gone for the ball.

I have a hard time saying anyone is as physical as Dantzler... but a lot of that might be his verbal stuff and my love for him as a prospect influencing my opinion.

It was such a fluky ball, I don't think he could have done much on it, to be honest. It was a combo of best spot throw and insanely athletic WR catch.
 
Yeah I'm a big fan of this guy. Very glad the Browns found another solid DB
 
I think this young man will continue to improve by leaps and bounds as he gets his NFL legs underneath him. Every live rep is an education.
 
Maybe it is the jersey number, maybe it was the beer, but today he reminded me of a young Joe Haden. Physical corner who did a great job of jamming his guy, looked good in man-coverage. Not saying he will be a Pro Bowl player, but he clearly has the tools to be a good corner for us.
