Peterson is great no doubt but if Meeks is running the secondary will he be wasted if we continue to run primary zone and not man coverage? Seems to me that conventional wisdom puts the emphasis on safety play and deep coverage as much or more than corner play. He appears very sound in man coverage and as a returner. I would like to see if we can find a poor man's Peterson in perhaps the third or fourth round. But then again if we could find a stud DE or a top rated quarterback who falls to the third, then it could free us up to get Peterson. Just don't know if he is the primary need at this point.

i also think we run alot of zone coverage so peterson might not fit what rivera is looking for, but we could still find a way to use his talents IMO if he is who we want

Isn't Meeks just coaching the secondary? I would imagine that McDermott is going to be calling the plays and in doing so will be determining the coverages.

I think Peterson gives us a shut down corner along with an offensive threat on punt return and kickoff return duties. Our team has been searching for someone to take over these duties for a couple of years trying out several players. We need a threat at this position giving us a score or good field position. This helps our offense and makes the defense better. WIN WIN

i've actually been pleasantly surprised at how good captain is at punt returns.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando.

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By frankw · Posted

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
