On the morning of January 20, the Cincinnati Bengals have publicly announced that they signed Scott Peters to be their newest offensive line coach. Peters will be with Michael McCarthy, who the team assigned as assistant offensive line coach.

Peters arrives at Cincinnati after one year as the New England Patriots’ offensive line coach. 

Prior to that, he once was the assistant offensive line coach with a position underneath Bill Callahan with the Cleveland Browns, especially when Cleveland consistently put out strong offensive line units. 

McCarthy actually moved to the NFL ranks last season to join Peters in New England after being the offensive line coach at Brown for the last four years prior.  

Bengals fans have been extremely interested in the offensive line play of the Bengals since Joe Burrow’s rookie year was unfortunately cut short due to his grievous injury. Even more unfortunately, the hits have kept coming for Burrow and it is now Peters’ job to get them to safety.

Several people of Highlands High School have comments about this change.

“I think it could really help our offensive line, and I think it could help improve us.” -Owen Walsh (9)

“I think Scott will do a great job. Maybe sometimes a fresh face, new eyes and a way of coaching would just kinda hit the reset, and it would be good energy and hopefully they’ll perform better this year than they did last year.” -Coach and Teacher Hayden Spire 

“I feel like it’s a good pick-up. He’s experienced in the league. He’s coached for other teams. But I don’t know, we’ll see how it goes.”-Christian Greenwell (12)

“I don’t really mind just as long as he does his job correctly.” -Walker Hunt (10)

“I feel like it’s an opportunity to get better at the game, because last year we’ve been slackin’ a lot.” -Jeremy Wartman (10)
