Wilks fits right in with that tendency Black Andre Smith Jersey , as his Carolina unit blitzed five rushers more frequently than any other team in the league. As a result, Peterson is very used to having to hold up on his own on the outside waiting for the pressure to get home. In a zone scheme, it can be easier for an offense to dial up plays to keep their top receivers away from the opposing team’s top cornerback. With how Arizona performed against No. 1 receivers this past season (23rd in DVOA overall, though not through anything Peterson did wrong), allowing offenses to scheme Peterson away from their top target could be a big problem. Peterson himself has been on record as being excited about the change to a simpler scheme, so it definitely sounds like he is personally expecting a big year. He won’t be in press coverage as frequently, and that could help him collect more pass breakups and interceptions. There may be a bit of an adjustment period compared to how he has lined up for most of his career Black Tre Boston Jersey , but a cornerback with Peterson’s talent can flourish in just about any role.The new scheme for the Cardinals could be a game changer for Peterson and help extend his career, what do you think?
