Culliver > Peterson

Well, I think Culliver has some big factors helping him out greatly:

We have a good pass rush now, which helps everyone in the secondary. Peterson has no pass rush helping him (do the Cardinals actually have a sack yet? I have no idea ), which means he has to cover too long. That makes every DB look bad.

He does not have to be "the man" yet, he is the nickel corner and we could afford to somewhat ease him in into his duty. Peterson was elevated into the starting lineup because quite frankly after some injuries and the Cardinals trading DRC away, they had nobody else left.

The Cardinals offense is really struggling right now and might put Peterson and the rest of the Arizona defense in a bad spot. We have seen that same painful development with our team before, any defense will get tired and break down if the offense cannot sustain drives or gives them bad field position with turnovers. Though I think the Cardinals defense is not playing so hot either anyway…

That said, I am very surprised and pleased with the way he plays so far. He seems to be very physical and uses his athleticism very well and I think I have not yet seen him blow a critical assignment for a big play. If he can keep this up…

Cully is in a Niner jersey, Peterson plays for the Tards. Cully is better based on that fact alone

In all honesty, I think this picture best best exemplifies who we are as a team. Take a look at the names on the back of the Jersey. It's not the usual suspects -- Patrick Willis, Justin Smith, or Dashon Goldson -- it's Anthony Dixon, a 3rd string runningback; Chris Culliver, a safety converted cornerback; Blake Costanzo, a person who only sees the field on punts and kicks.

This is a TEAM folks, every man on the roster is willing to work hard and sacrifice for each other. Blue collar at it's finest. We honor the game by playing it the way it was designed to be played. We play hard, we play smart, we play together. And sometimes, it ain't pretty -- just take a look at the lack of highlights -- but, dammit, football ain't made to be "pretty".

This picture speaks volumes.

This is the beginning of something special.

Culliver reminds me of a young Eric Allen. If you aren't old enough to remember him...you have no idea how high a compliment that is. Dude is becoming a serious #1 type corner.

Reminds me of a young Eric Wright. Now that goes way back. For the young here, Wright was a better pure cover CB than Ronnie Lott but a serious groin injury ended his career way too soon.
