Live&DieBillsFootball Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I agree that it is a huge leap in one off-season to go from a UDFA TE who couldn't block to a starting LT. PS I wouldn't call him a great ST player based on one blocked punt. Bit of a reach. 317711[/snapback] I guess great ST player was a stretch, but he made a lot of opposing players crap their pants on kickoffs too. I would not want to try to block him with him running at full speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Ladies and Germs, FINALLY someone that understands. We'll see how much JP likes getting hit by the Jason Taylors of the world. 317660[/snapback] so, are you suggesting that if mcnally -- a long-time, respected OL coach -- determines over the course of minicamps and training camp that peters is capable of starting at LT for the bills, he "doesn't understand" football? got any GM or NFL coaching jobs lined up? look, man, none of us know who the starting LT is going to be. but to suggest that the bills have their heads up their asses at this point is ridiculous. should we as fans ask questions? sure. should we be critical of decisions that don't pan out? of course. but show a little optimism and have some respect for personnel men and coaches who are well respected and paid to do their jobs. it's not like we're the freaking redskins.

If this is how it plays out, McNally really does walk on water! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campy Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I can see it now... Tackle Elligible Jason Peters. JP takes the snap, Peters leaves his left tackle position and goes out for the pass. JP hands the ball off to our Speedy Roscoe Parrish who runs to the right faster than any corner on the other team... everyone is pursuing him... he stops, then using his Quarterback skills he had in High School, throws the ball back to JP who has sense used his speed to set up a nice lateral across the field. JP drills a pass to Peters who is now running his way to a touchdown. I can imagine can't I? 317739[/snapback] Dare to dream brother, dare to dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to list the phenoms other accomplishments. I guess I'm missing the boat on Peters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKC Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 The premise of the "phenom" absorbing enough of the necessary technique elements to come out and be effective at a higher level than he's ever faced brings to memory Michael Jordan hacking away at major league curve balls.

While I like peters as a ST player, i'm just not convinced he can hack it as an every-down LT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
