in his defense, it was late in the game and the guy had done a lot by then, and started cramping up and shite again, he can't do everything!

Sadly I agree, after watching last night's game.... but let's wait and see what the season holds.

I don't if u just read what I said above, and did u see that pass thrown at peterson at crunch time, it would have been completed on any CB even Revis, it was to the receiver's back shoulder where only he could catch it, pretty much impossible to defend!

I hear you, but that wasn't the only pass that was thrown his way.

I'm not saying he's a "bad" coverage guy by any stretch. I'm just pointing out that he has been beaten in coverage too many times in the last 2 years to be considered one of the nations "best" coverage guys. Is he, all around, one of the best DBs? Sure, but alot of that is because of his ability to swarm, tackle, and hit due to his superior athleticism.

really? We should run a defense where the most athletic guy is never going to blitz?

As to those who say 'Do not telegraph?', half of all blitzes are telegraphed intentionally, some end up coming out of the blitz.

Football is complex and PP should be heavily involved in the blitz packages.

The biggest problem with the PP blitzes were that they were telegraphed and predictable. The one CB blitz that worked to perfection was exactly the opposite. The CB was in press coverage and didnt even lean that way until the ball was snapped. He was unaccounted for and made the play. I don't see an issue with bltzing PP, it just needs to be done better.
