He was listed as CB in 16 and had 98 man coverage...and was highest rated then as well.

Check the film, he's covering backs, TEs and slots. Pat Pete has the top WR. He's a better man cover guy than Badger.


Best man cover saftey in the league? Yes. Best man cover player in the league? Not even close.

Right. This isn't new nor should it be so polarizing.

Pat Pete also has much more athleticism and size. That's going to affect coverage. Honey Badger won't be the best man cover guy in madden, in practice.

I saw every game in Honey Badgers career, he covers receivers also. He was by far the best at coverage in the nfl last year. Better than Patrick Peterson

You guys are confusing zone and man. Badger was everywhere last year, true. But I'm talking about just man coverage. Why isn't he on guys like Calvin Johnson and AJ Green taking them out of the game?


Man 98? You're telling me he's just 1 point under guys like Prime Revis and Prime Sanders in man coverage? Man stop.

your name is facts but you refuse to look at the facts. Honey badger was a mile ahead of everyone in his PFF coverage ratings. He didn't need to cover Calvin or AJ because PP21 was on them. That's his role on the team.

Exactly, Pat Pete manning up against them because he's the better option in man coverage. Badger over the top because he's the better zone option and also offers better run support. PFF has you mixing up the 2 techniques.

Man and Zone are 2 different worlds. Don't believe me, ask Nnamdi Asomugha

Sanders also had legendary speed and agility. In the game he will play as a much better man cover guy than Honey Badger because of those attributes. You need to understand the man coverage rating is only part of the equation.

No Pat Pete has more speed and size to cover those types of receivers. I never thought Pat Pete had the best man coverage on the Cardinals.

Giving Honey Badger 98 man coverage in the game makes him play true to his real life counterpart. I'm going to leave it at that.
