Peppers having the time of his life

There are many things I notice when I photograph the Panthers on game day. While the action produces images that excite fans, I like to chase the moments.

This is my fifth season with the Panthers and while the roster changes from season to season, I've become quite familiar with many of the players’ habits and tendencies, mostly by observing them through my lens.

A new addition to this season’s roster, to the delight of many fans, was defensive end Julius Peppersicon-article-link.gif. I was told he was “freakishly” big, kept mostly to himself and regularly avoided the media. All that made me assume it would be difficult to capture good moments outside of action shots. Never assume.

Very good stuff.  A few years ago would have never imagined Pep back with this team. Seems like the time is right.  Plus...he has changed, or grown...whatever.  He seems different in a good way.  He has a peace about him he did not have before.

Glad he is back.  Welcome home Pep.

When a once in a generation technician of violence is at peace, strange things happen, wonderful things if you are on the right side of him.

I could not be happier at this point.

I hope he has a couple of years left.  I know he is up there in age but he is such a fine tuned athlete I don't see why he couldn't go another year or two more.  Especially if we can bring home a Lombardi Trophy while he is playing.  His HOF credentials are more than enough to get him in.  With a Lombardi Trophy he would be unanimous.

    • Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens. 
    • Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.   
    • Highest amount of OL salary cap in the league too. The Chiefs are behind us at 2 but we are ahead of them by a cool $23 million. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2026/table/active/sort/cap_total
