Just saying by PFF Peters did better than Gilmore, the highest CB rated in coverage after week 7.
Gilmore finished 1 in coverage, Peters 2 and Jalen 10...
BTW don;t get me wrong Jalen is the man and if we don't have him signed on the field,I;ll be pis@#$d..
I wish I knew how to post a link etc etc but I doubt at finishing at 2 in coverage for a whole season he was ever down far...what was he between weeks 1 and 7? the lowest rated cb in coverage?
.
Nice like folks that give backWe seems like I recall MP does a lot for his hometown community.
I don't care what PFF says about Peters. I know what my eyes told me. He needed to go. Now that he's no longer a Ram, I don't care if he succeeds or fails. What I can say is that I'm glad we weren't forced into deciding whether to pay him or not. He's a selfish player and consistently hurt the team by putting himself over the rest of the defense. Good riddance.
He had Earl Thomas backing him up.That's how I feel to. I don't understand how his play could have improved that much in Baltimore. Maybe after being traded from the Rams he realized he'd been taking things for granted, by coasting by and lost his dream job, playing at home. Getting traded for peanuts had to be an eye opener too. Maybe the Ravens defensive leadership was stronger and more assertive with him? The ability was always there with Marcus. He just lacked the discipline.
That was a cool experience for sure.I still remember MP going up to the fan in the stands, who was talking sh*t and asking where he was from as the fan crapped his pants! MP was no one to heckle. I have a personal story. I went to greet the Rams at Cal Lutheran at about 1 AM when they got back home to California, doing the impossible, beating the fricken Saints IN THEIR HOUSE, (still one of my favorite games in Rams history). Anyway, I was first in line jumping and screaming like a little kid when the players got in their own cars and were leaving the facility. They had to drive past the crowd as they left. A car drives towards me, very slow, then it stops for a second, the drivers window rolls down, and Marcus grabs my hand! I'm freaking out big time now. Can you imagine the emotions running through me? My team, I live and die for, are getting a heros welcome home, they are going to the Superbowl, and Marcus Peters is like YEA!!!!It was a moment I will cherish forever.
