Next fullback: Jason Peters?

Peters to guard and McGovern back to FB.

Most likely. We don't seem to want to go with Peters full time at guard, so he'll probably come in at guard on the plays where we use a fullback.

 

[CoachD]

And some of you really enjoy hyperbole. Guess it makes you feel better about your position to say something absurd as supposed support for it.

Well there is common sense and then there is that comment about Peters as a FB.

 

[Rayman70]

he should be the starter at LG. PERIOD.

 

[blueblood70]

I think we'll bring up Lindstrom from the PS to be the backup center. With Peters covering backup tackle and guard, I don't think they'll see us needing a vet. If nothing else, McGovern can play center after getting some snaps there in the preseason.

True but still cutting peters seems like mistake at this point.

Peters looks old, slow, and not in the best shape of his life. He's a 40 year old big man facing Father Time.

I doubt he becomes a starter unless it's out of necessity, and I think he'd struggle to perform well for 60 plays.

 

[AyeAtey]

Maybe Osa, he's athletic, agile and quick, but he's only 280lbs.

All the rumors that I’m hearing is Peters is in jeopardy of being cut as the Cowboys start to get healthy. And I’ve seen it posted from multiple people.

..What! ......Rumors will surely get peeps in trouble.

Peters has been all positive news since coming here.

 

[Typhus]

Yeah, can't see any reason for that to happen now. Even if Farniok wasn't injured, Peters is our backup left tackle. I don't think anything we've seen from Ball would make us feel comfortable with him being the backup any time soon. Maybe when Tyron gets back, we'd consider something like this if we needed the roster space, but there's no real reason to cut the vet.

Peters is not going to be cut.

 

[Typhus]

We want a FB on an occasional play design, then probably Ferg or Hendershot at this point.

Yea, I read that as well. He may not be able stay on the roster as a reserve OL, thankfully they refrained from starting him to at LT.

Everything you hear and/or read is true, take that to the bank and be broke in a month.
Peters is solid quality OL depth and not going anywhere.

We shall see.

 

[RonWashington]

absolutely not.

Peters can block his tail off in a phone booth but he can't move at 87 years old.

 

[StarOfGlory]

It would take Peters three seconds just to reach the line of scrimmage.

With Farniok injured, Dallas needs a new jumbo fullback for its short-yardage packages. An interesting option would be the former college tight end Jason Peters. As is, he's the backup tackle and guard on game days, getting a couple series per game subbing in for McGovern. Peters would really put the jumbo in jumbo and has experience catching the ball, albeit a long time ago. Giving him a few snaps a game as the fullback shouldn't overwork him either.

Now, I'm not expecting Dallas to go this route because a) Peters is 40 years old, so for the sake of keeping him healthy, they may not want him coming out of the backfield as a human plow and b) since they sub him in for McGovern, and McGovern has played the position for us, I think they would be more likely to do that.

I saw him play many times in High School. He was the biggest, fastest most athletic guy on the field and had a great pair of hands...

Unfortunately, he is 40 now...

 

[DCwarrior]

This thread is less entertaining than another Dak thread.

 

[MRV52]

Peter’s? Na, we have BIG Hankins now for that role

 

[RonWashington]

Hankins is not a 2 way player it’s in the contract .

As a college TE he had more pancake blocks than receptions...seriously.
