| Plummer Defends Brown November 5 2002 By Bryan Hersh of 49ers Paradise THIS CONTENT IS COPYWRITED, REDISTRIBUTION OF IT (including copy/pasting it to a message board, forum or bbs) IS PROHIBITED AND COULD RESULT IN LEGAL ACTIONS - feel free to quote up to 1 paragraph providing a source link to http://www.49ersparadise.cjb.net is included Take a look at the Raiders offensive statistics from this past Sunday’s game and you may notice that Tim Brown, the legend Raiders’ receiver, and certain hall of famer only had once reception. What that stat doesn’t show, but certainly implies is that he was well covered all game - and that’s mainly because Ahmed Plummer, the 49ers top cornerback was matched up against him for most of the day. Ahmed Plummer has been having a quiet season, which for a cornerback is a good thing. After recording seven interceptions last season, teams seem to shy away from his side of the field. That’s what good cornerbacks do, and that’s the role the 49ers had envisioned for Plummer when they drafted him in the first round.
The third year player is extremely knowledgeable and has unparalleled football smarts. He makes plays when the ball does come his way, and more often than not forces teams to look the other way. Ahmed Plummer is having a great season, and the 49ers have to be happy with this youngsters performance so far.
