Deangelo Hall knows.

I've said it.

He's not a press/man corner. He wasn't good at it in KC, and he wasn't making plays like that. He's a read and react guy who works best in off coverage. That's been the case his entire KC career.

He's a square peg and Wade's scheme is a round hole. Wade should adapt, because Peters isn't going to suddenly become a press man corner who can shadow around the field. That's not his game.

Peters can play man just fine, but keep him on the OUTSIDE and let him play OFF.

If he can see and diagnose the play, he can stay ahead of the route. Peters isn't a freak athlete corner who runs a 4.2 and bases his game on lightning quick reactions to WR movements.

He's still a guy that will get beat a times, but at least this way he'll be taking the ball away more.

it's not just hindsight. I told people he wouldn't fit in Wade's scheme when the trade happened and the general response was 'Sutton sucks and wade is good, therefor you're stupid."

Well...

FYI Steve Nelson is the 14th best corner in football this year per PFF...

I think he's just hitting the bong too much

Became more interested in being a side show than football player.

I know that this is a joke. But it is interesting how the 2 best corners that we've had in recent years have sucked after they left KC. The other corner being Sean Smith. And really, Smith wasn't all that great in Miami before he became a Chief. Many of us wondered why we signed him. But he turned out to be very good for KC. Then he left for Chokeland and sucked. Now, Scandrick is looking much better in this system than he has in recent seasons. I can't explain why that has been the case.

California dreamin, man

Also, with the Rams he's shadowing #1's, which he was not doing in KC. In KC, opposing offenses moved their #1 around to create the ideal matchup.

The list of corners that have struggled here under Sutton might be longer than those that thrived. (Maybe that's true of most teams? I don't know.) If only we could add to the list of safeties that thrive here under Sutton. :(

maybe because xxxxxxxx yyy xxxxx yyyyyyyyyy xxxxxxx yyyyy xx.

(not mater what is said, the reason will be racist.)

agreed

Nazi bastard! :D

It's actually completely wrong that the Chiefs were a zone team with Peters.

But what I'm guessing is that the Rams are barely playing any off-man coverage, which allowed Peters to read the QB and give a cushion on deep balls. If he's just playing straight bump and run most of the time he's going to get toasted by guys who are faster than he is.

I also see they're putting Peters in the slot, and the Chiefs NEVER did that IIRC.

Peters only plays good pissed off, i'm telling you that's what is missing.

Bob Sutton really knew how to get the best out of him?

It was Sutton's Scheme!!
