Is it possible this could be an upgrade?

Over the 2008 version of Peters I think its very likely. Over the 2007 or even the 2009 I really doubt it.Originally posted by paladin warrior -

The 2009 version would have been the same as the 2008 version... Good riddance to him... Thanks for Eric Wood and Shawn Nelson and the pick in 2010.

the 2008 version is the only version the Bills would see from 2008 on... he had no desire to play here, and everyone here knows this.
His sole inspiration for playing in Buffalo was to be overpaid to do so, and for that reason I will be looking forward to seeing Peters fail miserably...

i get the sense that walker is a stopgap for the season. one interview with walker earlier during the offseason was less than exciting. he essentially said, "i'll do what i'm told." he didn't exactly jump up and down to take on the role.Comment

Seriously, Walker gets fired up out there. Sometimes he looks like a puncher who just took a wakeup call to the mouth. Peters looked like he was going to fall asleep at times.
We got Butler saying things like "Where they think I can help the most is where I will be happy to give it my all".
I just think these guys are more internally motivated now. Wait another year and they will both demand extentions, LOL.Last edited by yordad; 07-21-2009, 08:36 AM."Heck, now I am glad his overrated arce made the pro bowl, else we would have only got a 3rd." ~ yordad

Should be interesting to watch both Walker and Peters this season.Comment

Walker can easily be a top LT in the NFL. He has good athleticism for his size, very long arms which after athleticism is the most important trait of a solid OT and he is also pretty strong.Originally posted by yordad
Marcus McNeill, Max Starks and Jared Gaither have all succeeded as massive LTs because they have their own particular set of skills that they use to their advantage...
I dont see why Walker can't do the same especially considering he has allowed something like 3 sacks in 2 years at RT for the Bills. And these days there are almost as many pass rushers coming off the right side as the left.Last edited by Mahdi; 07-21-2009, 08:59 AM.Comment

A stump would try harder than Peters.Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

Right, agreed with you and Draz the 2009 version in Buffalo would have caused all the same headaches of the 2008 and not been worth it.Originally posted by ddaryl
Just saying I wouldn't be at all surprised if Peters returns to real Pro Bowl form in Philadelphia and overall play better than Walker. Not that the Bills had a chance to regain that form from him.Originally posted by paladin warriorComment

If Jason Peters was signed to a new deal right now all of you would be talking playoffs.
So to sit here and trash a guy that had an obvious contract gripe (even the Bills recognized it) is somewhat ridiculous.Comment

How Trent plays and the pass rush will have more to do with how this season plays out compared to the Walker/Peters thing.Originally posted by HHURRICANE
Jason Peters wasn't taking the Bills to the playoffs.Comment

Well I'm still talking playoffs with Lang there so that doesn't coincide with me. Obviously Peters is the better tackle but Wood is my favorite draft pick this decade, so it helped ease the blow.

Did walker take Peters position for those first two games last season? I recall maybe one sack coming from that side.. then Peters went on to give up the most sacks in the league.
So yeah, it will be an upgrade.“You hold a players only meeting and get each guy to stand up and say what he can bring to the table... and if he doesn't, you punch him in the face.” ~~ Harry Neale, on how to fix the Sabres season.Comment
