Peterson says he's best CB in football, talks about Smitty.

Smitty hasn't had a big game yet so why think stopping him is the key? Truth is that we spread the ball around quite a bit.  Smitty has 143 yards on 14 catches, Ginn has the same number of yards on 7 catches averaging a ridiculous 20 yards a catch and 2 TDs.  Olsen leads the team in catches and yards and except for a few drops would have 4 more catches and another 100 yards. Honestly this offense is balanced and productive.  If Peterson shuts down Smitty that really doesn't mean the same thing as shutting down Calvin Johnson.

PP is an Alpha male, of course he thinks he's the best. Nothing wrong with thinking that... Doesn't make him correct but if I was Wes Welker I'd claim to be the best WR in the game... Wouldn't make him or myself correct either.

I guess what I'm saying us that it's normal for elite athletes to think if themselves as currently "the best"

Bruce Arians said it, PP just went with it.  We all know that Arians is the final word in defensive player evaluations.  He is a GOD at that poo.  Maybe we should just stay home and forfeit.

 

 

*** Arians and *** Peterson!  We are coming to kick your teeth in so get ready Cardinals.

To add to what P55 said and make an additional point piggy backing off his thoughts:

It just goes to show you how much more versatile we have evolved to as an offense. In the past, shutting down Smitty would usually mean a dismal performance offensively for us. Nowadays though, defenses have to pick their poison. At least one team this year will test Smitty and his age by single covering him... Smitty will make them pay dearly. I hope it's this weekend!

    • And, yes, I've been a slow boil, but watching continually watching shitty displays of football for weeks has me frustrated.  
    • Bryce just didn't maximize Hunter Renfrow's skills. ***rant incoming*** But this isn't just about Bryce Young mistiming passes to Renfrow so bad that he's going to get Renfrow killed or hurt, this is also about incompetentence by Dave Canales. Renfrow can still play. He's putting DBs in a blender out there---making them play twister at the top of routes to keep up with him, and dumb Dave has the nerve to cut him. How about putting Hunter in the best position to help the damned offense by appreciating his skill set, DC? You're letting Bryce's apparent inability to make an accurate throw, or at least his timidity to push the ball down the damned field cloud your judgment and miscalculate talent---or maybe just miss on talent just as much as Bryce misses passes due to playing pussified football. It's fúcking unacceptable.  Speaking of misjudgment, I don't know if it's Dan Morgan or Canales, but Eijiro Evero is not the business at DC. I have said a few times that his scheme is not conducive to run-stopping efficiency. Hell, and after watching some clips of plays, now I absolutely know why. The gaps are at least half open before the play even fúcking starts. You are setting the opposition's RBs up for success with too much damned space at the line and in the second level. If our guys are taken out in these areas---at the line and in the second level---then the defense is screwed because it must rely on the safeties to cover too much ground to make the tackle. At least put Ransom in who is motivated to seek and destroy if you're going to effectively leave the safeties on an island.  And speaking of rookies, get our two new defensive ends more snaps to see if we can't generate more of a pass rush. For all the good the continued sorry display of defense that you're putting out for fan's to see (Ejiro, Dave and Dan), you may as well get the rookies generously involved. Fúck that money we gave second-rate (maybe second-rate) vets, we need a damned spark getting after the QB. Watch it, it's just another breakdown of the sh¡t we were subjected to last week. I say this with all respect: Fúck you, Dave! Fúck you, Dan! Learn how to run a fúcking franchise. Maximize the players, regardless of what you think you're supposed to do by the book. Cut the dead weight before another season is lost and fans lose interest in September. EE is "Ew!" Or for emphasis "EEw!" /end rant
    • But nobody is saying he is a good deep ball passer.  But the facts are since he's returned from his benching, he has been throwing downfield.  Whether you want to credit the scheme, Bryce himself, or whatever, he has been pushing it deep.  Not to any positive results mind you, but it has been happening.
