re: what if Tyrann Mathieu was 6'2 225 like Patrick Peterson?

PP7 was still and still is vastly superior in coverage. TM gave up way more than pp7 ever did. Dont get me wrong, loved both these tigers. But Tyrann isnt in the same level as Peterson. And its not because size, its just Petersons natural ability is better than most.

This is a myth that will never die. TM7 was brilliant in coverage. The two things that make PP7 better are height and top end speed. TM7 is just as strong and a little quicker.

Definitely TM7 gave up more completions than PP7, but you have to factor in that a considerable number of the times they completed a pass against him TM7 took the ball away from the receiver.
