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

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

He did I think 30 snaps total (I heard) & then ran 8 100's. I don't think that is out of shape. I see a difference between in shape & in game shape. They are bringing him up to game shape!

Hell, I would have been dead after the 3rd play of the 13 play drive!!

My current team are running a very uptempo offence right now and this past saturday we had a 15 play scoring drive, when I got back to the bench I was so dead. The rook is a pro, he'll be allright.

Better he get roughed up now than in games.

Relax folks. He'll be fine.

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.
