Marshon Lattimore could make Commanders better FAST

Adam Peters giving Marshon Lattimore to Dan Quinn could make the defense much better very quickly.

Transcript

00:00How about him saying he thinks Lattimore is still an elite corner, says he's the type

00:04of guy that you want defending wide receiver ones, gets up for the matchup, let him travel,

00:11let him chirp and get in their head.

00:12I mean, his matchups over the years with Mike Evans are iconic, like the stuff of legend.

00:17Those guys, more than any players I can remember, hate each other's guts.

00:21They're quite literally being separated after every play and they're fighting and throwing

00:26punches and getting ejected.

00:27I mean, it's crazy how those guys feel about one another.

00:30Having said that, it sounds like he's that type of player.

00:32He is a, I'm with you all day long, I'm going to get under your skin, I'm going to get in

00:36your head, and he wants to basically travel around with one guy.

00:40This is a pretty darn good place to come to do that, because if you can just have him

00:43take on George Pickens this week, AJ Brown next week, CD Lamb against Dallas twice, and

00:50then the rest of the depth chart, St. Joost, maybe inside with San Restille, Igbenagany,

00:56those guys can handle the rest of the receivers.

00:58It's just a different world for this defense.

01:00You get a lot better really fast.

01:02We talk about all the time with quarterbacks making defenses go 11 on 11 with running games.

01:06Well, it's a similar advantage for the defense, if not more so, to go 10 on 10, right?

01:11Where you, in order to stop a really good wide receiver or any wide receiver, quite

01:15frankly, you've got to roll coverages.

01:17You've got to have help, short, intermediate, deep, certain kinds of coverages you have

01:20to run.

01:21If you're worried about somebody getting beat over the top, you have to have shells.

01:24And the paradigm in the NFL has changed because everybody's so sick of allowing big chunk

01:29plays.

01:30That's why you see passing totals.

01:31It's now like, I don't want to say it's rare, but it's rarer for those 300 yard passing

01:35totals.

01:36Remember a handful of years ago with breeze and Brady and Manning and rivers and everybody

01:40was like, if you didn't throw for 320 yards, did you even play quarterback today, bro?

01:44That's just different, right?

01:45Where things are more underneath.

01:46So that's because that's how coverages are.

01:48If you've got all the options on the table, because you've got one guy that can shove

01:51it on somebody that is a massive strategic advantage.
