News: Cowboys' Peters on Move to RT: 'I Had No Idea

[Aven8]

ARLINGTON, TX — You know you're a legend at your job when you can do someone else's and still be dominant. That's the case with Jason Peters, who hasn't taken a single snap at right tackle since his 2005 season with the Buffalo Bills, a 15-year gap between then and now — when he was asked by the Dallas Cowboys to step in and be a hero in Week 14.

The team saw starting right tackle Terence Steele go down in the second quarter with a knee injury, not to return, and backup tackle Josh Ball was unleashed with a chance to show his value.

Josh Ball should be cut after that performance

 

[DogFace]

I didn’t notice. It’s very encouraging that he played well and that the coaching staff learned and made the move.

Not sure why it took the coaches so long. Figured it was a no brainer to put Peters in over there as soon as Steele went down.

I think with peters you have to monitor his snaps. I don’t think they plan on him taking every snap. But I am cutting Josh Ball and calling up Collins

Ball looked bad. In preseason as well. Its not like we havent seen what he can do yet.

Glad to find out now...Ball can't play...rather than the playoffs.

right same thing said about Doug Free, Steele and many other players.. can the man have some time to develop? i mean to cut him now is ridiculous to say,. some players who have been injured and not on the field much need some time to develop.

Preseason told us that.

This is funny...

"You can't [prepare for that]," Peters said. "I hadn't taken any right tackle reps since '05, so I just went in the game and I know how to stay in front of people, and that's what I did."

 

[WoodysGirl]

And this is why they brought him in...

So, what exactly went through Peters' mind when he got the shoulder-tap on the sideline? Well, he admits he was already planning on approaching the coaching staff to make the offer/suggestion of trying him at right tackle, but they beat him to it.

"I know I can stay in front of people," he said, making the extremely difficult sound pedestrian. "And after Dak got hit and threw that interception I was like, 'Man, I gotta go in and try to help us win.' That's what I was thinking but, before I could turn around, [offensive line coach Joe Philbin] was like, 'You're going in.'


"He must've read my mind."

This is funny...

That quote is awesome. I think he's kept it simple for Smith too in his training. and the reality is, if he can pretty much do that, he's going be more than fine!!!

 

[Gonzomandela01]

I never thought I would fall in love again, specially with an Ex-Eagle.

Josh Ball should be cut after that performance

I’d be on the phone with Bryan Bulaga to take Ball’s roster spot this morning.

 

[NorthoftheRedRiver]

We gotta keep Peters fed and healthy. It's like a giant swiss army knife.

 

[Stash]

And this is why they brought him in...

Peters has been so much more than anyone could have hoped for.

Legend.

 

[Reality]

I know the Cowboys always seem to find a way to disappoint, but in a season where the Eagles are dominating and nearly perfect, as a Cowboys fan I would love the irony of one of the Eagles best HoF-level players helping the Cowboys beat those Eagles and win a Super Bowl.

 

[Risen Star]

What a stud folks!

Keep it about football.

 

[America's Cowboy]

The problem is Oline Coach, Joe Philbin!!! He's always a day late and a dollar short. Takes him forever to make the right personnel decisions after mistake after mistake.

Peters is referring playing RT in a game.

He has practiced at RT. There were multiple reports about that.
