TheyCallMeAndy Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 1 hour ago, Ga boy said: I remember seeing him at training camp his rookie year at SJF. He looked like a heavy Bruce Smith. The guy beside me said he was a rookie TE. I said “Really?” I don’t know if Bills ever used him as TE. He caught JP Losman’s first TD pass 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smward8 Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 If I remember correctly, he was in drafted and I was thrilled when we signed him. I had hopes he would be a TE, running over LBs and DBs. 340 lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krumrie, Jerry Gray, and Don Blackmon all had more than average years of service in the NFL. But Krumrie for sure had the longest. Krumrie feels like the kind of old school coach that say something like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 On 12/20/2023 at 10:47 AM, 2003Contenders said: When he was originally brought in, I am not sure that anyone on the Bills (or in the league) knew what to do with him. Was he a jumbo TE? Offensive tackle? Defensive lineman? Purely special teams? So it may not be that the coach in question was even an offensive line coach. May have been special teams -- or even a defensive coach. I can't remember the full chronology of Peters' tenure here with the Bills. I do know that he played some special teams (blocked a punt, I recall) and some DT as well before he settled in at RT. I believe he became the starting RT in his 2nd season (2005?) and did so well that he signed a contract extension a year or so later (2006 or 2007). Then he was moved to LT -- and was unhappy that he was being paid like a RT, even though he had developed into an elite LT. That's when he had Parker started playing hardball... and was traded to Philly after the 2008 season. it wasn't that he played hardball. it was clear after the signing which was before camp and preseason that he was going to be moved to LT. the bills refused to have any good faith discussions with him once he established himself as an LT.

Stranded in Boston Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 On 12/20/2023 at 11:36 AM, Rubes said: Still remember him making one of the best plays I've ever seen in a game by a big guy. Blocked a punt against Cincinnati, ran after it and recovered it in the end zone for a TD. Couldn't believe a guy that large could move fast enough to do all of that. I remember that well, Rubes. The Bills also used him as a wedgebreaker on kickoffs, back when wedges were still legal. That was something to see; he was like a bowling ball, absolutely devastating. What an athlete … 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
