It's probably because I and everybody wants him to be Gronk and stuff. He's still young and makes a lot of mistakes. But that's to be expected.

Sean Smith has attained lockdown status. Nobody even targets him anymore. Watkins had some big plays against him, but he was well covered...just did an amazing job of catching it anyway.

Last 2 games...
7 targets, 6 catches
8 targets, 6 catches

Smith has completed 70% of his passes on the season when throwing to Kelce, and he leads the league in yards after catch.

For this defense?

I don't think so.

When Sutton has two corners that can effectively work in this system, it's a top five defense. When it doesn't, see the first four games of this season...

"Since that bye Peters has the second-lowest completion percentage into his coverage in the NFL, and the second-lowest passer rating allowed among corners, and when all of his coverage numbers are put together might have been statistically the league’s most impressive cover corner over that time, not just the best rookie."

About time these european assholes pay a little respect.

I thought the same thing Rain Man. Kid has a very high football IQ.

I'm a big Peters guy.

If you could re-draft he would have easily been a top 5 pick.

Yea, and all those happened when you could mug the SHIT out of receivers.

#3 overall behind the QBs~

We all have special Peters
 

He's been a shutdown corner for a while now.

I have to say it's a pretty awesome duo he and Peters make. One guy who no one even bothers to throw toward and another who is as opportunistic as they come.

Throw in the fact that we're one of the best in the league at defending the TE and offenses legitimately don't have many options when they face us.

That's why Peters leads the league in targets even though he also leads the league in PD and has 8 ints. All that and it's still better than Sean Smith to opposing QBs.

We need to keep him AND replace Cooper and Fleming with better players.

enough with using Ron Parker as a corner already

Imagine if we still had a healthy Philip Gaines as well.
