Yeah I was referring to them coming out and even their first couple seasons. Yes Marlon has the forced fumble ball skills, but that doesn’t mean he has the ability to turn his head and play the ball as well as a ball hawk would like Peters.
i mean they're asked to do different things - marlon's asked to do some more difficult things because we know he can do them - and he absolutely gets his head around and plays the ball - the force fumbles are a symptom of his ability to get his hands in at the catchpoint and rip the ball out
he's more similar in play-style to jalen ramsey (with whom his PD and INT stats are very much in line with) - guys who're asked to play a ton with their back to the ball because their movement skills, athleticism and iq allow them to play in those more difficult man situations
the ravens (and other teams he's played for) know that marcus peters is at his best when given the freedom to make plays on the ball and take risks - so we've put him in those sorts of positions where we give him the shallows and allow him to take risks on the deeper ball behind him and to let him play some more zone type coverages where he gets to read and bait the QB
especially with marlon in the slot a ton it's tough to give him those same sorts of opportunities without revamping the scheme somewhat...
im not suggesting he's the same ball hawk that peters is - but nobody in the league has been anywhere close to as prolific as peters has been since he entered the league
