Peppers breakdown when it mattered:

[CRA]

I'm bored and the wife is out. I thought I would watch the 1st half and breakdown Peppers play for his haters who said he only played in garbage time. This is the 1st half.

1st Q - First Eagle possession

play 1 - McNabb chased out of bounds by Peppers/Davis

play 2 - Peppers tackle

play 3 - McNabb pass

play 4 - quick pass

play 5 - wildcat - attack and block focused on taking Pep out of pursuit

play 6 - quick pass

punt

2nd Eagle possession - already in fg position b/c if INT.

play 1- Peppers tackle

play 2 false start on Peters lined up in front of Peppers

play 2- McNabb pass

play 3 - McNabb pass- pocket collapsed by Peppers - gets his hands on Mcnabb who is forced to toss it out to his saftey valve for no gain.

play 4- fg attempt

every snap on the 2nd possession Peppers had a signficant impact to forcing a 3 and out and fg. Earned his paycheck that series. Defense had no control of fg b/c of INT had them in position

-Panther fumble

-at this point Philly now have 10 points after the fumble return. No production from the Eagle offense.

-Eagle punt return for TD - Eagles now have 17 pts - no offensive production

3rd Eagle possession - starts at Carolina 10 b/c of INT

only one play 1 - immediate scramble away from Peppers - quick pass for TD

Score is 24-7 at this point.

Eagle 4th possession: 7:45 left in 2nd half

1st play - pass deflected by Peppers, almost intercepted

2nd play - run play

3rd play - run play

4th play begins at Carolina 40 - Peppers is out of the game

5th play - Peppers out of gameball now at the 18

6th play- run

7th play - penalty on Carolina

8th play- penalty

8th play - shuffle pass - TD.

Panther defense gives up 1st real points of the game.

Score is now 31-7.

Peppers and his defense allowed one drive. 7pts. The rest were gained by the Eagle defense, special teams, an Eagle possession for a 3 and out fg b/c of Jake, and for 1 play of 10 yards for a TD b/c Jake gave them the ball and they started at the 10.

5th possession - Eagle territory

1st play - pass

2nd play- run

3rd play - McNabb scramble - chased out of bounds for gain by Peppers

4th play - incompletion

5th play - pass

6th play - pressure by Johnson and Peppers - incompletion b/c of pressure

-punt from Eagle territory.

End of 1st half. Garbage time begins. At this point zero tackles by Beason.

Peppers and the Panther D played a great 1st half. Giving up 1 legit drive that resulted in 7 pts. The rest of the 31 points where on the offense and special teams. As the haters know, Peppers continued his play in the 2nd half generating a turnover and blocking a kick. Now several have made statements Peppers then went on to pad garbage time stats after doing nothing early....while they praised Beason's 2nd half performance as trying to get them back into the game. Defense ended up only giving up another 7 pts in the 2nd half taking McNabb out in the process.

We might actually have a defense. Maybe the offense will let them get noticed this week (in other words, maybe Jake, Fox and the offense won't bend the team over)

I'll try to remember to rep this when I can. Nice research.

[PrimeTyme]

i was telling my friends... who all called me crazy b/c they looked only at the big score... that the defense actually played well, they just got put in a terrible position by our offense and ST

good breakdown on Pep

[CanadianCat]

wow thanks for the break down

[pstall]

not to be all grunge but to me the only silver lining is the game ended

[firstdayfan]

Great breakdown but for future boredom filled nights give us down and distance. Oh and breakdown the offensive series to see how much the blitz effected Jake and how many people blitzed.

[Jackofalltrades]

Rep.

Yeah that would be great. If there is anything I would add, maybe see if you can find the plays where Smith lined up in the slot and see how many of them resulted in bad plays for us since the Eagles were able to sniff that out.
