trubirdfan4life Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Mike Peterson has made more impact plays this season than brooking did in the last 3 seasons combined. He is causing fumbles. making picks. General tough linebacker play.I think he has been good for Lofton to see a tough linebacker go about his business.The run defense needs a little more tightening. I know that we won't be top 5 this season against the run, but I like the fact that the defense can hunker down make some tough stops. Linebacker play has been excellent.I like what Peterson is bringing and want it to catch on to everyone else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConnFalcon Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I agree, Peterson has been huge for us. I was really excited about this pickup. He has been a huuuuge upgrade over Brooking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryka Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I think everyone already has caught on about his beastly play. He's playing really well.He plays angry. I cant wait to see W. Moore on the field because he will bring more of the big hitting and fierce mentality.M. Peterson being a (Gator) brings a emphasis on attacking the ball. I like how K. Biermann has caught on to Abe in the sense that when he sacks the QB, Its not about getting the tackle, he is trying to get a turnover and make a game changing play. M. Peterson is showing that to the LBs and eventually we will have our secondary attacking the ball and not settling for tackles or batted balls.This defense has potential to be very good. They have been solid thus far and with time they will only improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dem Birds Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Yeah, this isn't anything that hasn't been said 30 times already. Doesn't make it less true, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriveHomeSafelyAtlantaWins Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I'm with you, bro. Well said. I didn't know whether all the good training camp talk about Peterson was true or just hot air. But NOW I know. The man rocks! And in addition to everything you said about him, he also plays very SMART and selflessly. Like when he took out 2 offensive blockers on a run around the end, so the other defenders could tackle the ball carrier. Yes, I consider him the leader of our D. And right now you couldn't hope to get more from the leader than he is giving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight of God Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I once said that Peterson is a fast MLB playing WLB, not a slow WLB playing MLB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
