Man coverage can/should help with deflections and help mitigate short-passing attacks, but it makes interceptions awfully difficult, especially for CBs. The only way they can get that pick is to sell out on a route and if they guess wrong in man, there simply may not be a safety behind them to pick up the slack. Peters got INTs because he freelanced and could mess up an entire coverage scheme doing so. McDuffie is going to have relatively low int numbers because he's not gonna make that dive bomb to try to pick a ball and leave the area vacated if it's a double move. Scheme discipline in man coverage is going to yield low interception numbers...and Super Bowls. McDuffie is damn near a perfect corner. Size issues can make him susceptible to big receivers but that's a price you pay for a guy that can gear up and own like he can. He's a legit All Pro caliber player and someone that's likely to end up in the ring of honor (and maybe accolades beyond that if he remains a centerpiece component of a defense that continues to stack rings). |

But Butker has 60 yard makes the last two seasons. I think he has a 65 yarder in him. If Tucker's leg was stronger than Butker's, it wasn't by much. And honestly, there's just little replacing leverage. Harrison is a BIG kicker. Simply being tall is going to give him more leverage in his legs and more leg drive. I think that should help him age extremely well. If that guy wanted to sign a Patrick Mahomes "Chief for Life" extension, I'd be in favor of it. He's massively important to this team and has the sort of 'no ****s given' attitude that you absolutely need to have from a kicker. He's ice cold out there. |

Seriously - go watch his 60 yarder against Denver. That was with swirling winds and he was 5 yards up the crossbar when it crossed. The 62 yarder against Buffalo was into the wind. The game-winning 58 yarder against the Chargers was as pure as any kick I have ever seen - off his foot you knew it was good; I mean the dude was just driving nails there.
I'd let him try one from the 50 one of these days. I honestly think he could hit it. The guy has an absolute cannon of a leg. |

Remember he had to kick it 3 times in a row and was perfect each time? |

Butker is the GOAT kicker.
He combines the regular season success, power, and accuracy of Tucker with the postseason clutch of Vinatieri. |
