Re: CB Patrick Peterson ... Should We?
Yep. What exactly was his mistake on that last TD? Did he think a CB was going to get there? There was nobody else close. Was someone supposed to be there or was Bell just putting it off on someone else? I don’t know much about about coverage and assignments.

Re: CB Patrick Peterson ... Should We?
It was Cover 2. Lattimore could have drifted back a little more if there was no imminent threat to his zone, but Bell should have been over the top regardless. He was late. He got caught looking in the backfield.

It is impossible for Bell to travel in a straight line to where Brown scored before Brown gets there unless Lattimore stands him up before releasing him or directs him inside. So either Bell was lined up over the tight end in error, the coaches are idiots or Lattimore made an error. Both safeties lined up over the slot receivers. On the opposite side of the field the corner carried his receiver to the five and gave up the flat. Lattimore released Brown at full speed at the ten. Bell has already moved 5 yards towards that sideline but he is still 15 yards away from the pylon. Bell would have to sprint from his position at the snap to have any hope of meeting Brown at the pylon. Blaming it on a late recognition or reaction is stupid. Usain Bolt would have struggled to get there in time out the blocks. |

There was no reason for him to be sitting. Nothing was threatening the hash marks. He did the same thing when the tight end scored...trying to watch the backfield.![]()

Re: CB Patrick Peterson ... Should We?
He was playing well up until the Baltimore game. He’s a serviceable, yet, replaceable player. If I had to give him a Madden rating it would be like a 73. He’s the main reason I kept begging for Eric Reid.

Vaccaro was better than Bell.
