Mickey Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I was finally able to take a second look at the first half of the GB game last night and I saw something I missed on R.Lee's kickoff return. Peters took the man he was blocking and tossed him to Peters' right like a rag doll. The guy landed on a second Packer, taking him down as well. With that one move, taking two guys out at once, Peters opened a huge hole in the coverage and sure enough, Lee went right through that hole. For those of you who taped the game, you can just see this happen on the replay from endzone camera. Peters is just visible on the right of the screen tossing a guy to the left right into another Packer and they both go down. The replay switches to the sideline camera just as the two Packers are going down and Lee sprints by. You may have to rewind it a few times but it is there. That is one of the most incredible blocks I have ever seen on special teams, ever. I'd love to be in the film room when they run that tape.

I can't wait to watch him in action this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have also been told in a news article that Bills players were changing positions in line during practice so they didnt have to face him. Add that to a rather remarkable switch to LT from a 9-wonderlicking UDFA TE with little coaching, and I'd say we have some kind of freak on our hands.

Maybe we should let him rush the passer. This guy needs to be on the field as much as possible. I'd like to see him play LT against some starters next pre-season game.

Kelly the Dog Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 He scored a 9 on the wonderlick? 414088[/snapback] Yup, our lovable manster was not an Academic All-American. But I don't care, he doesn't need to be good on tests, just on gameday. And apparently, he is pretty football smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong but I thought they put him in our third offensive series. (This was just from memory of watching the game while drinking a bunch of beers and not watching a tape of it, but I am sure someone noticed when he was put in. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reuben Gant Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 He scored a 9 on the wonderlick? 414088[/snapback] That doesn't mean he isn't intelligent. It could be he just doesn't know how to work a pencil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beausox Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 That doesn't mean he isn't intelligent.It could be he just doesn't know how to work a pencil. 414117[/snapback] Why if a guy scores a 41 do we rave about his intellect but a 9 is not important? The wonderlic is not overly taxing but it does require the mind to 'hold" two or more concepts while making a conclusion. Left tackle is a one trick pony position. Though help is largely restricted to chip blocks by your back it does not require thought as would tight end for example. Thus left tackle. His specialness on special teams may relegate Peters to part-time duty as a tackle. He is so good it is scary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has some very basic questions. Chances are that if you scored a 9 on the Wonderlic, it is a good guess that you are not able to read.

I tried as hard as possible to be right, but even an over-opinionated idiot like myself was able to look at that test and realize that the only way you can get a 9 on that test is to either (a) be unable to read or (b) be unable breathe air and randomly point at the same time.
