Patrick Peterson's job is not to be elusive. His job is to seek and destroy receivers and running backs
I would have to vote Shepard on this. He has phenomenal acceleration in all directions that makes him very hard to catch. Overlooked, though, is Richard Murphy. This guy is our Scat-type back without blazing speed, he has great agility and quickness.
Well, I'm glad we're not playing USCe this year. Lord knows if we killed their QB, their fans would be all bitching and moaning about how dirty we play. And they'd make a video about it and put it on youtube, the sissies.
On the football field? A DB is trying to seek out and destroy the ball carrier/receiver, approach directly, arrive quickly, quite the complete opposite of elusive. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/elusive
