Panthers go No.1: P.P.


TANTRIC-NINJA

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.

    • Very True--and I am a former HS English teacher.  
    • Not a Moore fan-but he had a few good games last year-but I want players that scare you--Renfrow's route running and intelligence, Legette's size, speed, and strength, AT's intelligence and route running, Coker's body control, strong hands, and abilty to win contested catches, and TMac's size, body control, and ability to find soft spots in zone coverages.  Horn gives them the ability to stretch the field and he plays special teams.   Moore has a nice smile and can dance.  He filled in well last season, but to get better as a team, you have to upgrade your players.  I think Moore is a bottom of the roster guy who got bumped when we drafted 2 WRs and signed a legit free agent.  Here is the thing--TMac makes us better because he is great against the zone--man?  Good luck with that.  AT's role can be reduced, and that is probably a good thing.  He can specialize in situational football. Coker?  Just getting started. XL?  Just getting started.  Drafting TMac was probably a bit of a wake up call, but XL will be better as the 2. Renfrow?  I see him splitting reps with AT--keeping both fresh and giving different looks. Horn?  Watch the safety cheat his side when he is in the game--I see a young Steve Smith type in him, but he has yet to play a game.  I hear that Morgan loves him.
    • Burns at 5-6 seems....a little aggressive.
