Jordan Wright has 6 tackles all year. How have we not saw peters ?? Wright is awful.
Xavier peters
- Thread starter DieHardCatFan23
- Start date
We seen Peters on STs last night, we'll seen further when he's ready. Wright is progressing.
I agree that Wright has been pretty bad "meh" this year. Staff is forcing Paschal out there for run support and on pass downs...Wright is just not strong enough to get thru tackles for sacks. I'd love to see Peters get some edge pass rush situations.
The position is one of the toughest on the field, physically and mentally.
Josh Pascal broke up a pass 25 yards from the line of scrimmage on one play, and rushed the QB on the next.
The combined responsibilities of coverage and line play are not easy to master. And Xavier Peters spent a year at FSU preparing for a very different role in a 4-3 scheme, where we play a 3-4 scheme.
Want proof? Check out Josh Allen’s first year highlight reel on a team with far less talent and depth than this team.
Xavier will be special, but it takes some time to bake the cake.

The strength thing is what Wright needs to improve, seems I recall he was primarily a basketball player in HS, probably never did much weight training. Hopefully he improves in that area, has potential.
Peters played on special teams last night. If Peters was ready to play defensive snaps, he would be playing.
Jordan Wright is not "awful". Wright has actually had some positive games this year. But he isn't starting, so it's not easy to put big stats. Our coaches know what they are doing.
Jordan played well last night, and is improving. He too, will be a beast given time. He is on a similar weight/strength gain trajectory as was Allen a few years ago.
I don't believe this nonsense, by now he knows the plays, he'll only get better if he gets to play.
If Peters was their best option, he would be playing. When you refer to that as "nonsense", it means you think you know more about our defense than our coaches do. You might believe that, but it would be nonsense if you do.
Trying to say he's not ready is nonsense, either he's not quite talented enough to unseat the starter or stoops is too loyal to his guys and is in a way punishing Xavier for transferring in and decommiting originally. Coaches tend to have enourmous egos and I won't rule out the latter.
Peters can’t be any worse than Wright though, Wright has been worthless. He gets washed down every play and one on one in the pass rush he gets nothing. I watched him last night and it was bad. I think stoops just plays him cause he’s been there. That’s how stoops is sometimes.
Probably should re-watch. He's the most dynamic lb we have and it isn't even close. His numbers are down because of scheme and personnel grouping. Not ability.
Peters is fine. Him not playing is a great sign for us. Means the guys in front of him are better. In years past, he'd be thrown in and have to carry the load.
Seems to me the staff was looking at him at Sam. Don't think it's a coincidence that about the same time boogie came to life.
Now, that's nonsense.
False. Wright isn't a starter. He is a role player. He has not been "worthless". If so, he would not be playing.
Looks like a couple of people on this thread can't get past Xavier Peters' star rating two years ago. After all the evidence we have seen that each player develops at his own pace, some people just ignore all that evidence and leap to an assumption that, even without seeing any practices, they still know more than our coaches. That's hubris.
He’s a RS freshman. Maybe he’s not good enough at this time to warrant PT. He’s a year removed from playing in 2 games for a 5-7 FSU team. I think he’s going to be good here, but quite possibly he’s just not good enough to see the field much right now.
Blows my mind how so many people think that just because a kid isn't ready in three months that they either A. Aren't ever going to be good enough or B. Aren't playing because the coaches don't like them. The ignorance rings loudly.
So many experts in this thread. Wright doesn't even start that's why he has six tackles.
Which btw isn't even a correct stat. He has 7 solo tackles in limited action, 5 assist and a sack.

This is the classic post where the poster has never been to a closed practice but thinks he knows the players capabilities in the scheme.
Hilarious.
He's not playing because he's not ready yet to overtake the guys in front of him.
Anyone that calls a young man that plays football for UK "worthless" and "awful" is not a fan..let alone diehard.
He may not be ready for the full slate of responsibilities of his position but I do think it’s somewhat puzzling that he hasn’t seen much action at all since being ruled eligible. Not questioning the coaches here since they’re the ones getting paid to win, but Peters has to be the most physically talented player on the line. How hard can it be to line up and go tackle the quarterback?
I think it is like the poster said earlier he was a hand in the dirt defensive end at FSU.
We run a 3-4 but not sure we can’t have some 4-3 packages too let him play Defensive end and see what he can do.
At this point he had just as well been ruled ineligible for this season by the NCAA
He played on special teams. Even if he lost his appeal he would of been a sophomore next season. These games and experience were a bonus on his development
I think it's pretty obvious is incredibly tough based on how few do it at an elite level. He'll get there.
Well he sorta is lol. He may not start but plays a lot. He’s not good at all and stats show.
He plays a lot though and he sucks. He’s at a position to get sacks and tackles and can’t do it. Gets whipped every play. The only reason he got a tackle last night was cause he didn’t get touched. I’m saying we need to try peters. Can’t be any worse.
He plays a lot though and sucks. If you knew football you’d know that. But clearly you don’t. Look at his stats, it’s awful. He gets whipped every play. And plays a lot. Peters can’t be any worse. Put him in
Anybody who uses stats to explain production should not be telling someone else that they don't know the game.
Paschal, Wright and Boogie can play better. They have certainly each flashed at times, but they also have had some rough moments. It took Josh Allen 3 years to get really good at the position and 4 years to master it. Stoops seems to love Casey at OLB, but despite being OLB2 for the season, his RS is well preserved, to my knowledge. It’s a process.
The starter is a former highly ranked 4 Star, who has over two years experience, beat cancer, and is a team leader in TFL. Why would a highly ranked 4 Star who has been on campus three months be expected to replace a 4 Star with experience, and three years weight training?
This isn’t the Bill Curry years. Our team is not devoid of 4 Star talent in the upper classes. Josh Pascal was damn near as highly anticipated a recruit as was Peters.
What else could they say after a win?
Obviously you never played Football. Try standing in front of a 300lb man that's determined to crush you. It's hard!
Ok. I'm being serious here. Can you PLEASE put your football experience in a post for us to see (highest level you played, position attained -- varsity-starter? backup? jv-only?, coach--and level if so).
Oh, and also the person who posted something like "how hard can it be to just go get the QB."
Lol. You first Belichick, we’ll wait.
I think a lot of you aren’t giving the young man enough credit. I’m not blind to the fact that there are plenty of responsibilities and looks get you need to be familiar with to play any position. But I’ve been under the assumption that he is a pass rushing specialist and he certainly looks the part. If it’s an obvious rushing down I’d love to see him out there to see what he can do. I have faith in his abilities that he can at least handle that much. But again, the coaches see him everyday so I’ll defer to them.
Have you ever seen him play? Coaches know what he can do, they don’t need you to see for yourself. If they feel he is best for that position in that situation he will play. They don’t determine playing time so everyone can see what they can do. They play who plays that gives them the best chance at being successful.
Other than his bit vs. USCe and some FSU play, no I haven’t. But if you’ll read what I said, I know the coaches see him everyday so I don’t question it. It is only MY HOPE that we can see him play given his lofty ranking physical presence because those two are a good indicator that he has a lot of talent at a position that could use some help. The last time I checked, Josh Allen is no longer lining up for us on D.
