For most of the past five seasons, cornerback Patrick Peterson’s role on the Cardinals defense was clearly defined.
Peterson was the prime example of what former coach Bruce Arians called “dude” pass coverage, as in, “you got that dude.”
For Peterson, that dude was always the best receiver on the field. But a new coaching staff and a different defensive philosophy might mean some changes for Peterson.
No one is quite sure yet, because coach Steve Wilks’ staff and players have spent only four days together. But Peterson is open to new duties, especially if it means he sees more passes thrown his way.
