Fairchild and Rivers are both potential NFL starters. Volson if someone can just get him to set low consistently is a better Guard because the plays he DID actually set correctly he looked pretty good - it was the ones he didn't where he gave his chest up and lost anchor. Lee has potential and they even got a UFDA that by all rights should have been drafted (Seth McLaughlin).

A coach that enjoys teaching and improving technique is a valuable thing to have at the NFL level.  It seems these days that a good number of OL coaches are all about the scheme, and don't spend a lot of time on individual player skill development. Face it, CFB has changed over the past 20 years. It isn't producing the same quality of OL with fully developed skill sets, like they did before. Those rapid fire, quick release sets in CFB have given the advantage to the defense in recent years because OL aren't learning to protect for 4-5 seconds in pro style offenses, like in times before. Let's hope that Peters is as good as communicating his ideas as he was at demonstrating his abilities in combat sports.
