Re: Andrus Peat gets heavy workload in Saints’ scrimmage
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. |

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

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. |

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. |
W.T. Sherman is my favorite General. After all he did order Atlanta to be burned to the ground.

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. |

Re: Andrus Peat gets heavy workload in Saints’ scrimmage
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.... |
