In the past week I've seen several posts/threads mentioning Jason Peters as a possibility to play OT if Jonas does indeed leave. Don't I remember some earlier conversation by Jerry Gray or one of the coaches that they liked what they got out of Peters rushing off the line on ST, so they would be looking at him as a possibility to become a pass rusher. Am I just imagining this?
Jason Peters as DE?

Give him a shot at it in preseason and see what happens. But Peters' name has been thrown around as OL, DL and TE and from what I understand, he's not that bright (remember the one play when he was wearing #73 and forgot to report as eligible?). Clearly the kid has football talent- the coaches need to decide how he can best be used and start developing him for that position as soon as possible.

I think it is being a little harsh to say he is stupid because he forgot to report as eligible...this is a guy who has been wearing a TE number his whole career (HS, college) it's an easy mistake to make in the heat of the moment.
I think he has shown the speed and athleticism to play lots of different positions...lets just hope we use him wherever he is most effective.
I have been high on this guy since they grabbed him....and will continue to be a supporter until he is given a shot and lets us down."Show me a good loser and I will show you an idiot"

I think he has alot of potential also. I think people calling him dumb has to do with his Wunderlic score or whatever, but many others have done badly there also. There are different types of intelligence anyway. If he excels at one position, let's develop him further there and use him. He clearly has the physical attributes to become good at several positions...

I think he could handle DT or OT as far as his athleticism is concerned, but I agree that the Bills need to let him focus on learning just one position.I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

Word from whom??? He clearly did pretty well in Special Teams last year - so he must be capable of learning something.
It's all in the way you teach it, and between Clements and MM, they should be able to find a way to reach him. It's not like he's classified as ******ed or anything!
MM must think he isn't bad if he was willing to sign him. He's just someone that might need a little coaxing in the right direction. But it certainly doesn't mean he can't do it or that he'll never amount to anything...

Anyone with his size and speed should have a spot on the roster, either clearing holes for Willis or busting holes in an O line. He has had experiance on defense.
Intelligence.... come on guys this is football, not rocket science
