i think los is our best all around cb, and normally i would agree with your comment that a cb probably has trouble picking the ball off b/c he cant locate the ball mid-flight, but ive seen so much of los (we all have) where he sees the ball, it is coming right at him, he watches the ball into his hands then for what ever reason he doesnt catch it.
los could def improve on his ball flight location, but imo alot of his missed picks were b/c of stone hands and vodoo.
im nitpickin

I agree......And IMO being able to locate the ball in flight to the receiver has always been Carlos'es greatest weakness, but it's a technique that's coachable and one he can practice until he becomes better at it. For a long time I've felt that to be the one flaw (except his hands) that has kept him from being among the more elite group of CB's.
