Mathieu is a great football player. The funniest part of this is hes not a CB.


Peterson playing out of position also at CB. Would be a much better safety with his combination of size and speed. He would be the most dominate player on the field and affect every play the offense would run from the safety position. AT CB he can be taken out of the game by just not throwing to the receiver he is covering. Plus he wasting his size and hitting ability at the CB position.

I fully appreciate your point of view on PP's "True Position" but I propose that as long as he is not in a weak secondary to begin with then all that we should have to do is look at what he allowed Chevis to do when he totally locked down the opponent's best receiver at the cb position.

His presence was felt big time on many levels. IMO, the biggest advantage to having him at cb i college was that Chavis could be muh more aggressive in his play calling... and Chavis did a great job of using PP and the other good DBs.

Now in Arizona he might be better in the safety spot but I still don't think so. The advantage of having a dominant secondary like LSU enjoyed isn't quite there but the advantages that PP brings to the table by wrapping up the opponent's best receiving threat is still huge.

When you have a guy that can lock down any receiver in the nation when he is on his game is huge at any level.
