You're right he absolutely was pivitol on stopping Elliott vs Dallas .
On the Play to Ginn he was both not exactly in position an misplayed the ball.
I do think he's best right near Barron sorta in a zone .
Last year we had Cody Davis playing deep Saftey quite a few snaps and had a good deal of success with Joyner being able sorta run free and diagnose .
This year he's been forced into more man match ups I think.
I think Peters not playing man very well hurts Joyner because he has to cover a wider area and hes being exposed .
If our inside LB s have to help in coverage by dropping back they won't be attack LOS vs the run game .
The whole darn D can fall apart trying to hide a couple of weak links in man coverage.

I wouldn't put Barron and Littleton in the weak link catagory as much as Peters and Joyner.
I think they are there to persue Laterally and mainly get that done . They aren't primarily pass defenders in this D.

We would benefit from 1 more decent Safety just for rotation.
Blake Countess might be a key to this Joyner and Peters issue .
He's our best shot at a 3rd Safety set deep allowing Joyner to be himself in mid to short zones.
