No one said he was out of shape.
He's a 316 pound man who took more snaps than any o-lineman and then had to sprint a half a mile. No worries

I look at it a different way... Whether we want to believe it or not Peat's reputation coming out of college was that he was soft. Why else would a supposedly "consensus #1 left tackle" slip to our pick at 13?! I thought left tackles went in the top 5. This is Payton saying "Yep, you're soft... But I'll make a man out of you."

That being said, Peat will never beat out Armstead.

The problem with Armstead is he's been injured, and is currently injured albeit minor. He may not need to beat him out.

He played very well in the B&G scrimmage. I can't understand how Duncan says Friday was a total disaster for Peat.

I keep hearing how great Armstead is, and I dont necessarily doubt that, but until he took over for Charles brown we were saying the same thing about him that we are saying about Pete. Payton only put him in because he basically had too or Brees was going to get killed. Armstead got his ass handed to him that first game but improved every game after.
I just dont know how he gotten to the "Pro Bowl type tackle" status that I have heard some media people talk about so quickly.

Practice only takes you so far. Its when you get to play in the real games you really start to develop. Armstead got thrown in the river and quickly learned how to swim. I have great confidence that Peat will do the same once called upon.
Peat being a little off in his conditioning is not surprising, his school ended really late so he couldn't come to OTAs and such where the rest of the team were working out. I am pretty sure that the Pro game is a heck of a lot faster than the college game and that will take a toll on you until you get your conditioning up to par.

soft player? i would not go that far. Soft and not all that nasty is two different things

The knock was he is a little to mellow. he really never showed a nasty edge to his game. he is a walking stereo type type of California. Needs to get that fire stoked in the belly.

He is going to make it as a tactician not a mauler.

Peat was better than when he arrived.

Next week he'll be better than the week before.

Let the kid get his reps, make his mistakes and learn.

Some of you are too hung up on his draft status and it's too early to declare anyone a bust.

Maybe Byrd....

Everyone said he is out of shape. LOL. Some have said alarmingly so. It is what it is.

I've never said anything about him being out of shape, so it can't be "everyone."

Cruise I couldn't disagree more. I would be very concerned if he were starting week one and had poor work ethic. Peat will be conditioned when we need him.

Relax
