bobinaz Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Let's say Peters returns by Labor day. He has exactly one week to get his a$$ ready for game one. Walker has been on the left side for let's say almost a month, he has the mind set of LT. Now Peters is back in the fold at LT. What does this do to Walker as far as getting back into the RT mindset and the cohesiveness of the O-line? Does the team let Peters pick up where he left off in the short amount of time or do they make him ride the pine for a game to get the new schemes, etc down? Does anyone think Walker will have any problems readjusting or was the shift to LT not long enough to really make a dent? I think Walker will be okay going back to RT since that is his normal position, but my concern is on the chemistry the O-line has developed this offseason in the new schemes. What a fine mess you've gotten us into Peters.....hopefully not and it will all pan out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I continue to think that somehow this is going to cost us in the Seattle game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Haze Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 It depends if he is apparently out of shape and showing alot of rust. If this is the case, I would move Peters to right tackle for a few games until he gets back into game shape. A rusty Jason is better than anything else we would have playing RT.

BeastMode54 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 For me this is a problem as well, but it's a problem we worry about once he FINALLY shows up. I hope his extended absence doesn't affect the Bills in the W-L column. I thought he could affect us for as much as 3 games in the W-L this year, but it seems high for one player to cost us that much. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a fine mess you've gotten us into Peters.....hopefully not and it will all pan out. I wouldnt start Peters on the Left side immediately. I would would put him on the right side and sit Chambers. I would actually do this for a couple of weeks until Peters has reaclimated and THEN switch them. Peters was a outstanding right tackle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffaloboyinATL Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I am curious (but not enough to start a new Peters thread ) what kind of reaction will Peters get from the Buffalo faithful when he eventually returns. Will we boo him, if so how long. I am not usually inclined to boo our players but I am dissapointed in the way he is handling this "negotiation". I want to find a way to voice my dissatisfaction but I am torn because it is hard for me to boo our players. What to do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobinaz Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 Something I was wondering about was if the team sent him the new playbook in the offseason before the OTAs began with his holdout. If they did, then he might not be too far behind the power curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauderswr80 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Chemistry is something you dont mess with when it comes to a team sport.......If what we have right now is working, why mess with it? See what im gettin at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they did, then he might not be too far behind the power curve. yeah, I was wondering this also. Does anyone know if he's likely to have a playbook of the new offense?

Tsaikotic Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 It shouldnt be any different than when someone gets hurt and you throw in the backup....when and if Peters comes back just put him in his LT spot and keep playing like he wasnt ever missing....on the other hand, if when he gets back and if he shows to not be in shape(Im sure he'll be tested b4 being out into any game)then keep him out and get him into shape...dont mess with the lines cohesiveness till hes fully ready to play.
