I would not use that at a litmus test, pulling is the easiest thing a guard can do with pass blocking being the most difficult block. You literally take your first step right (in Peats case) and run into the side of a defender that’s looking at the QB or RB or anything but you.

Pete lost 15lbs in the off season and while he might be quicker he doesn’t have the weight he needs, it’s also hard to drop 15 in an off-season with out losing any strength.
