One major reason our zone defense was so good in 2015 and 2016 was Berry and Peters. it’s also why we killed NE in the 2nd half.
3-8 scheme has 8 defenders vs 5 (at most) receivers. Berry can take away the TE singlehandedly which means it’s 7-4, but Peters was so good that teams wouldn’t throw at him.
With Berry and Peters, zone coverage was basically like playing 6v3. It’s a lot easier when you have those circumstances. It’s even easier when 1 of those 5 receivers is a RB coming out of the backfield.
Losing Peters sucks and now we need to find a DB who is excellent in zone and can take the ball away.
