Whatever happened to Peppers red zone plays

[HeroesHealers2]

In JP's first stint in Charlotte, we used to use him all the time as a tight end in the red zone. I don't know if he ever caught a pass, but he made for a wonderful decoy.

Why hasn't Ron tried that since he returned?

now this is a reasonable question.

and the reason for that is most likely to ensure peppers is safe and used smart. trick plays could lead him to get unnecessary hits at his age. him as our primary monster pass rusher is fine enough.

How was the Bradberry question or the Marc James post not reasonable?

no

I just think, if you run Peppers on a slant across the middle, who is going to want to tackle that guy?

[Seamus the Dog]

All the time?  If that means a handful...

the marc james is fine. never commented on that.

the bradberry one is far too random and obscure. at least keep some of your posts relevant and reasonable. bradberry on offense is a dumb idea no matter how you push it. 

keep things reasonable, relevant, and smart around here and you'll be okay around here.

He’s old and has a hurt shoulder. Using him as a receiver is a bad idea. Also we have KB. Not much difference.

He has 82 posts. Not one of them fits any of these criteria.

i think I read somewhere that they have been using him on fgs. 

[KendrickPanther]

He has a gadget play on FGs we may or may not see. 

 

The reason we don't need him on offense is quite simple. He can't run a fade better than Kelvin or Funchess. He can't block better than a tackle-eligible or Ed Dickson. When we put him out there for the fade, our number 1 was Steve Smith. Our number 2 was probably Keary Colbert or Ricky Proehl. And it never worked. Not once. 

 

We don't need that kind of gimmick on the Goal Line with our backfield and Kelvin on the outside. We just need to execute.

Dude. Moose. They never ran one of Peppers' fades after 2003.

Pepper's never scored a touchdown on offense. t

There is no need to do some now.

Peppers has declined red zone plays as he prefers to play air guitar while the defense is off the field.
