Please no positionless players at #8. Right now, Peppers is an athlete first and a football player 2nd. He's going to have to learn a TON at the NFL level. Instant impact special teamer but the jury is out on him finding a full time role on a defense. He may never be anything more than a situational player.

this video just spent the last 15 explaining how he does have a position, why it looks like he doesnt have a postion at Michigan. 

long story short he took one for the team and played a role that didnt do him any favors and this kid is an elite level talent.

I don't buy it. You're telling me that you have an elite NFL prospect at the college level and you get 119 tackles, 3 sacks, and 1 INT out of him in three seasons and he was a total part time situational player up until his 3rd season?

Michigan's coaching staff can't be that inept. I think it's more likely that they simply created a role for him to get him on the field because he didn't really fit anywhere. My fear with Peppers is that he's an athlete, not a football player.

I think he'll have a long NFL career even if it's just as a special teamer but I also think there's a pretty decent chance that he's never much more than a pure special teamer.

Watch the video. He lays it out pretty well that Michigan put him in a position to stop outside plays and funnel the action back inside for the interior players to clean up.

Yeah, that's exactly how you use an elite prospect... if you can't figure out anyway else to use him. He was a purely situational player for two years for a reason.

If we could get Peppers in the 3rd round (where Mathieu was drafted), I'd be thrilled with that.

Mathieu went in the third due to character concerns. Otherwise, he would have been a first round pick.

      Seahawks or Rams

      By Pantherxtreme · Posted

      Let's say we take care of business against the Bucs and/or the Falcons take care of the Saints and we lock that 4th seed for the playoffs. Who do we root for this Sunday in the NFC West matchup with Seahawks at San Francisco winner takes the NFC West division. A Seahawks win would mean we face the Rams at home or with a 49ers win we host the Seahawks again.  Which opponent would most prefer? In the earlier Rams game we won primary due to turnovers specifically Mike Jackson pick-6 in combination with a good running game with Chuba and Rico whereas we kept the Rams offense off the field and Bryce was able to connect on two big 4th down throws for touchdowns. However when the Rams offense was on the field they pretty much got whatever they wanted, Williams and Corum gashed us in the run game, and we had no answer for Devonte Adams. Granted whe were missing some pieces on defense with Horn and Moehrig. Against Seattle our defense held it's own for the most part, it was our offense and turnovers which aided in the Panthers loss.  Seattle was the most stingy, best tackling defense the Panthers have played all season, and when we turned Darnold over we didn't do much with it.  The offense had no answers for what the defense was throwing at them and apparently were caught off guard by the amount of man coverage the Seahawks played.  With all that who do you think would be the better matchup the 2nd time around? I trust Stafford far more than I do Darnold, both running games are on par with each other, of the defenses Seattle has the dominant unit.  I personally prefer Seattle again, that would mark their 3rd consecutive road game, we've just played them, so we know exactly what to expect, and I feel Caneles should be able to come up with a better scheme to counteract what the Seahawks defense was doing, and we may be able to trip Darnold up, I don't want to try and win another shootout against the Rams.

      I remember watching him at bama and thinking he throws a lot of wobbly non spiral balls that have very little velocity. Knew it would be a real problem in the NFL and it is.

      His wife makes great meatballs though. To be fair, he didn't hire himself here. He dazzled and bamboozled them with what they wanted to hear. He was going to be an innovative, program-builder, culture-installing football genius. They ate it up like those fabulous meatballs.
