My point is is that other than tackling, the drop-off in his play is hugely exaggerated. He needs an attitude adjustment and I'm glad he was suspended. But put any of the top 30 corners in the situation with our pass rush and tell me how most CBs would do. Especially on a cb whose strength is taking advantage of qb mistakes. What qb is going to make mistakes when they have more than 5 seconds, can go through all the reads, and throws out of a clean pocket not under duress? It's a huge factor in peters' regression in play and considering he's still a very good coverage guy despite that, so I don't at all buy that he's loafing out there. In coverage he's still competitive as hell.
