McNally's comments at a WNYFCA meeting: "Next mentioned that as right now the Left Tackle would be Jason Peters who he described as a "Phenom", and if he could not do the job, Teague would move out to LT." Phenom has a nice ring to it. Maybe the sun will come out tomorrow.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadBuffaloDisease Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 BTW, what IS a "bottom dollar?" Is that like a plug nickel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tomcat Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I don't know...I don't like out starting LT being undrafted last year.... I like Peters as a blocking tight end but starting at left tackle?? No thanks... Something else is in the works....whether its Teague time to move back or making some sort of trade....... I trust McNally but geeze....Peters seems too much of a stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndirish1978 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Peters is huge, athletic and fast, i dunno why you knock the decision. just cause a guy was undrafted doesnt mean he's not good, it just means the scouts didnt know where to put him. He's a good player and we saw him motor in Special teams, and make big plays, Im excited. If McNally says he can do it, I believe him. With the addition of a good TE and WR, I can see our offense being WIDE open next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trust McNally but geeze....Peters seems too much of a stretch. 317471[/snapback] Peters is big strong and has the agility needed for a LT. He lacks experience and technique which he gained some last year under McNally's toolage. I think Peter's for LT will be given a good long look this offseason and preseason. I also like our recent undrafted FA pick up Gudmudsen for LT. Overall I like our OL this year better then last year. Teague is experienced to play LT, Gandy can fill in, or Peters/Gudmudsen/McFarland will pan out. The rest of our OL is solid we have Anderson at LG or Geisenger who was a great pick in rd 6 Teague, Tucker, or Preston for C. Villarial at RG and Williams at RT plus our depth will be better this year then last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live&DieBillsFootball Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I just don't see it. Peters is a great athlete and great ST player. I just don't see how he can learn to be a starting LT in one offseason. He might have gotten a few practices at LT last year but was mostly a TE. I hope that they have some camp fodder to play QB in preseason games while he plays LT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/...yers/41242.html "A physical specimen with great natural gifts, Peters has the skills to be a dominant and complete tight end if not a very athletic left tackle. Will have trouble playing a position at 320 pounds and must shed weight but a prospect with a large upside." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS I wouldn't call him a great ST player based on one blocked punt. Bit of a reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckeyeBill 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
