Pep Moved Back To LE Right?

[beastson]

Should C.J finally get a chance to start at LE and move Pep back to RE. Cause he really has talent and potential. His technique is good, has quickness and some size. Only problem is he get caught tooo much into rushing the QB and may forget about a draw or something like that

Or, if Pep is back at the LE, who starting at RE?

[TarHeel]

Julius Peppers is already our starting RDE, Tyler Brayton will be our starting LDE.

Brayton.....probably to be replaced by Brown sometime throughout the season.

I really think Johnson is due a little more playing time. I like Brayton and realize he plays the run a bit better, but with a young and inexperienced secondary, we're going the front four to generate as much pressure as possible.

And Peppers is still at right end, as TarHeel points out. But expect them to move him around a bit.

I don't think so.

If anybody replaces Brayton, it's going to be Johnson. Brown just isn't ready yet. He made some great plays in the preseason and he has a great drive, but he still got shoved around pretty routinely. I think he'll be a great starter for us, but not this year. This year, he'll be a great pass rush specialist.

Thats what I'm saying. I coulda sworn I read Pep might be moving back to LE this offseason. Guess not

IMO, C.J at this time should start cause he has more potential than Brayton. If not starting, more playing time. Getting better at the run will come with more playing time

Should put Brown on the weakside when he comes in the game.

[rayzor]

doesn't matter who starts. they are all going to be rotated in and out a lot.

pep an brayton get the start but it's going to be changing up a lot after that. pep is the RDE and brayton is the LDE starting off, though.

according to the panther website the depth chart looks like this:

RDE: peppers, brown, taylor

LDE: brayton, johnson, brown

they were playing around with pep switching sides some during the preseason games. i think they are going to be pretty free with switching people around. expect anything.

i imagine we will be seeing a good bit of brayton and johnson even at DT on passing downs.

I dunno Johnson seems to have all the skills necessary to be great in this league but its just not coming through. He'll really have to turn it on if he wants playing time because Brown looks really good and Brayton is a solid starter with really good run stopping ability.

[panthers55]

Johnson and Brown are both good situational rushers. Neither is good against the run. Peppers and Brayton can do both. Brayton was improved last year and will be even better this year. That takes nothing away from Johnson who is getting better as well. I suspect that we will need him and Brown for the future if we lose Peppers at the end of this season.

I really think and hope that we will get creative with Pep this year. Maybe give him what he wanted and mix in a few 3-4 packages and let him be the rush LB. Or more realistic let him line up all over the place. One play have him at DT, then LDE, Back to RDE, and maybe a few as a LB. Make offensive coordinators have nightmares about how to gameplan against him. If you want a guy like Pep, who most say has a motivation problem, to succeed you have to give him something to get excited about and this is how you do it.
