The problem is confounded by the fact that we don't play in a system that allows us to draft pass rush specialists all across the line (seattle does)
We have Dontari Poe playing 90 % of snaps and he has 0 moves. Look at Seattles interior d line, doing finesse moves on every snap..

Gaines had the best shuttle and cones times of any DB, IIRC. I know the drill results aren't everything, but to say that tall corners are lacking agility.. particularly Gaines in this case... seems questionable.
There certainly are some tall corners that lack good COD skill. That much is right. Gaines just needs to clean up his technique and improve awareness.
