shawn andrews isn't worried about peppers

[iTzSMITH89 4TDx89]

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."

The Panthers use Peppers all over the place, so it's unclear how often the Pro Bowl end will match up with Andrews.

Andrews said he knows he will be a key component in an offensive line that has only practiced together for a little over a week.

"You're always under the microscope, of course," Andrews said. "If there's a mistake - 'Oh, he should have been in training camp' - I'm prepared."

Andrews missed all of camp when he tweaked his back during a conditioning run. He returned to practice on Aug. 29, ten days after he flew to California to have his back examined by a specialist. He said yesterday that he has no pain in his back.

Andrews is moving to right tackle after playing guard the previous five seasons, where he earned two Pro Bowl appearances. It's a position he hasn't played since he was a 380-pound Arkansas lineman.

"I just have to be an athlete," Andrews said. "I don't have to be technically sound. The big thing for me is just knowing what to do mentally. Once I know what to do, there's no question."

Man's talking trash! Nobody should speak so highly of themselves before taking on the Carolina Panthers, let alone Julius Peppers!

mancard rule# 417- No man shall refer to himself as a "beast".

Only other men can do that. If you are really a beast maybe even a ladyfriend will call you that.

Dudes call themselves beasts all the time, Infact I am sure Beason has called him self a beast before.

anyways, I hope either Peppers steps up to the challenge or Samuels starts talking about 89.
