One of the biggest concerns among analysts after the Pittsburgh Steelers signed former Minnesota Vikings corner Patrick Peterson was his transition from going to a man coverage scheme in Pittsburgh after predominantly playing zone in Minnesota. Add film guru Greg Cosell among those with some doubts, as Cosell said on The Ross Tucker Football podcast that he doesn’t know if Peterson can hold up in man.
“I’m very curious to see on defense what their mix of man and zone is. I don’t know if Patrick Peterson at this point in his career can line up and play heavy man coverage,” Cosell said.
