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.

That being said, Peat will never beat out Armstead.

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....

Not nasty? What a waste of a draft pick.
