Peters isn't a good man coverage corner and his season with the Rams, who want to play press, is illustrating that.

Couple that with his abrasive personalty and big pay day coming due, the Chiefs parted ways.

While you are technically correct, the best kind of correct, the Chiefs ran man 46.3% of the time in 2017, which was more than any other team in the league.

A big problem for Peters appears to be the lack of safety help that Berry provided him. It allowed him to go for the big play knowing he had a stud behind him to clean up if he whiffed.

BTW, in 2016 we ran man coverage 48.9% of the time, which was 2nd only to Tennessee by .7%.
