Inroducing Patrick Peterson, CB LSU


MHS831

Recommended Posts

Luck is out of the picture. Take a look at this consolation prize. (I hate to say this: If he comes out)

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5966027

222 lbs, runs a 4.45 40, 6'1" and the best cover corner in the draft.

Probably the BPA and he is at a need position. And he returns punts/kicks.

2010 SEC defensive player of the year.

2010 SEC Special teams player of the year.

Just curious what is the serious risk you speak of? The guy is a solid player.

The risk of getting him hurt.

Too much money would be invested in him for him to go out there and pull a hammy returning a kick, or worse.

The same reason Gamble stopped returning punts, the dude was too valuable to the team.

Fairley, Peterson, A.J. Green, etc. etc. etc. These guys are all really nice players but not someone that a team should use a number 1 pick on. They are more like 5-15 talent. Once Luck went back to school this really became a meaningless top pick.

Until we start getting some pressure on the QB it won't matter who our CB's are. When you play in the NFC South against QB's like Brees, Ryan and Freeman you have to attack them or they will attack us (Like they did this year). That is why I say we should draft Nick Fairley.

Yea i agree on that, I thought you had other worries. I don't think our coach would be that free with Peterson.

    • Yep - honestly though, I thought his coverage was as good as you could possibly do on a man coverage crossing route with Dak having all day to throw. Dak made a perfect throw and if it wasn't in front of Pickens, it could have easily been picked off. Seemed like we ran more man than I have seen our defense run so far this year. Defense also did a great job of playing their gap/zone responsibilities (even if Dak did pick apart our zone a good chunk of the game) - that screen play on the last drive could easily have gone for a touchdown if Moehrig didn't play his zone and make a great tackle. Biggest complaint about Evero was not blitzing a few more times (especially when Dallas was in the red zone). The few times we did it, Dak didn't look comfortable.
    • There was some pretty egregious missed calls vs the Chiefs in the Lions game, especially Kelce. The completion where he clearly used the ground to catch the ball. The hold in front of the ref as Pacheco ran by where the defender was trying to turn around and couldnt because Kelce had him by the jersey. Mahomes openly taunting after scoring a TD. 0 penalties after double digit the week before. Cmon. 
    • People get trade happy and look at resources as barter items. They fail to see them as resources to be used to our benefit rather than someone else's. Right now, Chuba and Rico are massive benefits to us and a strong rushing attack so greatly benefits any passer, much less a young one like Bryce still is.  And the better our running game, the more our offense can eat up the clock, the less time our defense is on the field. And that is priceless, too. Don't mess with the running game. Don't mess with the receivers. Maybe look at our O-line and think we may have hit on something good during these injuries. Look at our D-line and seem some strength evolving there. Our secondary has its good spots and some that are still developing. Our linebacking corps did well this last outing. Our special teams are on a major upswing as of this past week. Heck, even our QB is showing us a little something right now that we can build on. Perhaps putting out a yard sale sign right now might be less advantageous than looking at the team and saying, "You are all part of something good that is happening. We want to see that continue to grow."
