atlbillsfan1975 Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Peterson is comming to Atlanta, tomorrow or thursday. Would be surprised if he make it out of here. Mike Smith was his coach down in Jax. And the Falcons need a LB worse then Bills after loosing Brooking and Boley.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Mike Peterson per Scouts Inc: Birth Date June 17, 1976 Birth Place Gainesville, FL Height 6-1 Weight 238 lbs. Age 32 Position LB Experience 10 years College Florida Grade: 78 | Grade means he is a good starter. Alert: None Comment: Peterson missed six contests due to injury, but still managed to finish second on the team in tackles. He is a very productive MLB who has good instincts, speed and toughness. When playing the run, he shows good quickness to read and react. He does a good job making proper reads and has a good feel for play-action. He has a burst to his movements and can fill quickly. He changes direction well, showing enough quickness to slip offensive linemen and get in on tackles. If engaged he has adequate strength and hand use to play off contact. He is inconsistent with getting rid of blocks quickly when teams run at him. Peterson will give some ground in an attempt to shed. He has above-average lateral quickness. He can get to the corner quickly versus outside runs. He has good burst to scrape and fill. Plus, he usually provides good wrap on tackles. In coverage, he shows good range. He has the range to get good depth in deeper zone coverage without losing separation. He has good movement skills in zone drops with the ability to make quick reads on the QB. He can flip his hips while maintaining good vision. He has shown the ability to read QB's eyes and make subtle adjustments to take away route angles in zone. After the ball is away he still has good speed to close and tackle. He is agile enough to break down versus quickness, but also has a closing burst to arrive with some power when the target is pinned down. He's considered a middle linebacker.
Kelly the Dog Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Sounds like they said sayonara to Coles eh? Mike Peterson wouldn't cost a helluva lot. I would think the two things are mutually exclusive. I'm not sure how much Peterson has left in the tank but he was good just two years ago. He got benched this year but it seemed to be more of a power struggle. I seriously doubt it has anything to do with signing or not signing Coles though. Peterson would be a small to mid ticket item. They have tons of cash for that kind of contract. June, too, isn't going to break the bank.
Steely Dan Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Mike Peterson | #54 | MLB Jacksonville Jaguars | Official Team Site Height: 6-1 Weight: 238 Age: 32 Born: 6/17/1976 Gainesville , FL College: Florida Experience: 10th season High School: Santa Fe HS [Alachua, FL] 84 tackles, 1 sack, FF - 0, Int - 0 I like him better than Cato June.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 He doesn't fit the Bills (or most team's profile) as he's 32 years old. That said, he's a very productive player and a team leader. He got into a disagreement with Del Rio last year when he was taken out of the starting lineup. And he's a middle linebacker...
Hossage Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Peterson doesnt seem to be as expensive as he was a couple years ago. He would be a big help.

I'd say either way the Bills now what the deal is with Coles.
billsevans Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 I think Cato has beat him to the punch. I think Cato will be the signed tomorrow.

I'd say either way the Bills now what the deal is with Coles. I think it's just coincidence. FA seems to go in waves. The first flurry is a few days, and then the next wave is 4-5 days into it, for the guys that weren't really highly regarded or targeted, like, say Hangartner. Peterson has been around the block. So has Jones. So has June. These guys aren't need signings, nor are they big money, nor is anyone in a real hurry to get a deal done with them. I just don't think it has anything to do with Coles. Who knows though.

Who knows though. Actually that kind of makes perfect sense. You come back Monday after the weekend wave and identify your tier 2 targets, tie up loose ends, and call agents to schedule visits. By Tuesday night visits are starting to be scheduled and word leaks out.
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 A Peterson signing I would be happy with. Although Im not sold on the prospect of Poz as an OLB. I believe he's not in a spot where we can't afford to look for upgrades at MLB. Peterson could very well be that upgrade.

Who knows though. Exactly, I don't think it has anything to do with Coles. Coles supposedly has the Bills offer and is seeing if theres any other interest out there, theres not much else the Bills could do without looking desperate and losing any leverage in negotiations. They now have to wait for coles to make up his mind. If they start bringing in more WR's, then I would agree that it means they are pretty much done waiting for Coles
