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.

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