Bench Babin, play Peek, Wong @ OLB positions

exactly the guy has so much adrenaline and pride in playing that he worked himself up after he made a play that may have saved the game and PUKED. People only puke when they have a lot of nerves built up from being either scared or excited. We need more guys with that intensity. People say it is recklessness, but i would take 11 guys that are wired any day because when they make a play they all get excited adn everyone steps up. If there were 11 peeks and i was an opposing QB or RB or Wide out i would be scared that someone may come after me and try and take my head off. Some of these guys need a boost of something cuz they have no emotions on the field. Babin is playing hard, but where is the enthusiasm. everytime they show him on all you see is the mustache cuz his mouth is always closed, maybe just rookie nerves or thinking going on, but let out the beast. Peek gets his team fired up, gets the crowd going, and makes plays. He needs to be on the field more.

Basically he is a (very?) poor man's LT.

You can't compare a guy that hasn't been able to beat out Wong to the greatest linebacker ever to play this game.

I think the comparison is referring to the reckless abandone that they both play with. The pure energy that they have. I dont think he was saying Peek is even close to LT status. By poor mans version he means style, not production, but who knows what the future holds.
 
True but LT was not the smartest guy to ever play LB. He had the best combination of speed, athletism, and instincts ever though.

I was just saying that Peek had great speed but lacked smarts, like LT. Basically those were the common traits I was comparing. I'm not saying Peek is ever going to be more than a situational pass-rusher.
 
Yeah but using Peek and LT in the same sentence is like saying Bob Sura is like Larry Bird.
 
You don't think Bob Sura is going to be the next Larry Bird? And you call yourself a Rocket's fan?

How do you know how smart Peek is? He is playing a new position and just cuz it takes a while for him to pick it up doesnt mean he is dumb. I do believe he is one of the few in the NFL that have actually graduated from college.

This would then become a "turf" related issue. The divots are bad enough, but vomit piles everywhere would just be crazy. :coolb:
 
well maybe his energy was helped by a little crack here and there, but its the idea. Maybe we can get peek an AP earing for christmas. either way the style of play is similar, and everyone was happy with LT
