I think he'll thrive in a defense that rushes the passer.

And allows him to be agressive and play press and go make plays.

Playing off and reading the triangle is how he gets so many turnovers.

Press him up and play man and he won't get so many picks.

It will allow teams to take advantage of his lack of elite speed.

You want me to explain why a CB playing a trail technique in man coverage won't get as many picks as a CB who plays off in zone reading the QB, RB, and WR to predetermine the route and jump it?

Seriously?

Peters is known for staring down the QB and reading the play as it develops, which is due to his knowledge of routes and his film study. You don't do that in press man coverage. You can't.

I'm not saying he can't succeed in that situation, but you're taking away one thing he's absolutely special at. Reading offenses and jumping routes. I think Wade Phillips is smarter than that.

Seriously? Yes!

What type of formations and plays are you going to use to force the DEF to play press coverage while still trying to stretch the field and not become predictable in play calling?
