Someone needs to paste this on Peps locker and lest see if he has any cohonies.

Basically dude is calling him a puss.

Peppers no worry for Eagles' Shawn Andrews

By Jeff McLane

Inquirer Staff Writer

Shawn Andrews hasn't played in a game in almost a year, hasn't played at tackle since college, and hasn't practiced much this preseason.

If those facts aren't enough reason for concern, the Eagles offensive lineman has the additional challenge of facing one of NFL's best defensive ends this Sunday in Carolina's Julius Peppers.

Andrews' response: What, me worry?

"I don't want to get into a hissing match - but at the same time, I'm a beast, too," he said yesterday after practice at the NovaCare Complex. "It's not a me-and-Peppers thing. It's a team deal. But, since you asked about the individual battle - I'm a beast, too. Let the beasting begin, if you will."

meh, personally I couldn't read much into that. It wasn't like he challenged Pepp as a player; just stating he's up for the challenge. If anything, going against one of the best DE will motivate him to bring his "A" game on Sunday, if he has one.

Of bigger concern for the Eagles is having a revamped OL that hasn't had the opportunity to work together during the preseason. This matches our concern about a DL that hasn't looked good at all this preseason, and this could be the differenece in Sunday's game. It will be an interesting matchup, to say the least.

Pep actually does get pump by this kind of stuff. Remember the OT down in Tampa Bay that use too talk junk too Pep all the time. Then Pep would make him false start 4 times a game. Or the game against the Vikes when B Mckinney was talking trash too Pep then Pep almost single handedly won that game for us (until Fox bad Punt return trick play).

This stuff seem like the only thing that motivates Pep.

Every professional athlete has pride. Yes even Peppers. Just because he doesn't get rah rah, doesn't mean he isn't motivated. With the pressure of his contract looming, the carolina "fans" waiting to pounce on him, and little articles like this, I expect him to be as motivated as we have seen him. That being said, I hope he eats the eagles O-line for breakfast.

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
