This wasn’t Deion Sanders type tackling...this was a completely refusal to even try. Teams even started scheming to run at him because they knew of his reputation. It was 10 on 11. I remember thinking how challenging it must have been to be a coach reviewing film as a defensive back group, or as a team, and ignore his complete lack of effort; especially when KC, as a whole, was awful in run defense.

He returned after his temper tantrum/one game suspension, and was willing to stick his nose in on certain situations...which became more frustrating knowing he can be a well rounded corner when he wants to be (like he was his rookie year). That’s when I became “meh” on Peters. It wasn’t his temper tantrums or his sideline antics, or his “I’m fittin’ to get loaded” press conferences. It was simply his disinterest in being an every down football player that IMO will never change.

well said
