EDWARDS DOWNPLAYS PETERS' ABSENCE: While Bills fans and the WNY media might be making an issue of left tackle Jason Peters' absence at Buffalo's voluntary OTA workouts the past two weeks, the man who he primarily protects doesn't see it as a huge concern.
“I don’t think so at all," said Edwards Thursday. "The funny thing I tell the offensive linemen and d-linemen is there’s only so much you really can do. It’s not like we’re putting in a brand new concept that they haven’t learned before. They’re getting paid to perform in the fall and in training camp. That’s when they make the biggest strides. So that’s not at all a concern for me and some of the guys here are benefiting from taking his reps.”
While I agree with Edwards that linemen benefit most in the practice setting when the pads are on, it'd still be nice to see Peters even for a handful of these practices. At the very least it's anticipated that Peters will be in for the mandatory minicamp beginning June 11. If he's not there then I think you can start talking about there being an issue there.
