It’s barricade to mention that Patrick Peterson’s Steelers debut didn’t move as deliberate. In reality, Peterson’s afternoon used to be the exact opposite of what he predicted a number of days earlier than Pittsburgh’s 30-7 loss to the 49ers in Future 1. 

The eight-time Professional Bowl cornerback concept the Steelers’ protection would fare neatly in opposition to 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy and an offense he felt used to be fairly predictable. However rather of a Steelers romp, it used to be the 49ers who coasted to victory in the back of Purdy’s two landing passes to Brandon Aiyuk, either one of which got here at Peterson’s expense. 

“There is some tell signs out there that tells us what plays we’re gonna get from those guys in certain situations,” Peterson had stated at the unedited version of the All Issues Coated podcast that includes himself and CBS Sports activities NFL analyst and previous Steelers cornerback Bryant McFadden. 

Peterson didn’t get into specifics in regards to the 49ers’ tells, however he did trade in a prediction for Sunday’s recreation, a predicting that clearly didn’t pan out. 

“When I get my pick Sunday, we’ll talk about it,” Peterson stated. 

Purdy, who went 19 of 29 for 220 yards on Sunday, used to be diplomatic when requested to reply to Peterson’s feedback on Thursday. 

“I don’t really know what to say about that,” he stated, via NBC Sports. “I mean, he’s a good player. Patrick Peterson’s a great player. I grew up watching him and everything. I was obviously from Arizona, he was playing for the Cardinals. 

“It’s the aggressive nature, I supposition, of soccer. So we’ll see.” 

Sunday used to be Peterson’s first recreation enjoying in opposition to 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, latter day’s “Mr. Irrelevant” who received his first seven NFL begins. Purdy began Sunday’s recreation not up to a occasion later he used to be totally cleared to apply later present process elbow surgical treatment in March. 

“He’s able to put the football where it needs to go,” Peterson stated of Purdy, whose good fortune latter day forced the 49ers to industry former first-round pick out Trey Lance to the Cowboys latter occasion. “He’s a guy that’s not going to make many mistakes. He’s a guy who’s going to take what the defense gives him and allow his defense to put him in a better position. 

“When you have a look at movie, and also you have a look at him play games and the way Lecturer Shanahan screams the sport, that’s their method. They’re taking to run the soccer, a ton of misdirection performs to get that defensive participant’s visions all over the place the playground and let their guys construct hay later they catch the ball.”

Year Peterson’s prediction didn’t come to fruition, he used to be correct when detailing what the Steelers’ protection had to do to have good fortune in opposition to the 49ers. Sadly for him, the Steelers had been not able to shoot their recreation plan of no longer permitting large performs, particularly in opposition to Christian McCaffrey, who blew the sport viewable on a 65-yard landing run early within the 3rd quarter. 

“This guy’s very shifty,” Peterson stated of McCaffrey. “The jump cut ability, the vision he has on the field. It’s going to be very prominent that everybody has all hands on deck when it comes to tackling.”
