Peppers

Just watched a video of Pep at home with his kids and wife on Twitter. Tried to attach, but with no luck. It's also on the Panthers website i believe. I can't ever remember him being as personable and forthcoming in his first go around here. He was rather introverted and quiet back then. He has done a 180 since being back and seems comfortable in his skin now, talks to the media and always smiling.  Love that he is  kicking ass and taking names on the field also. Hope he has a year or two left in the tank. Great guy and great player.

From what I have always understood, Pep’s biggest problem was that he was supposed to be some sort of savior of the franchise and he wasn’t really trying to be that. This team is clearly Cam’s team now so veteran Pep can just sort of kick back and do his thing. That’s how I have always understood it anyway.

That’s pretty spot on.  I think a lot of that was in his head tho.  A DE ain’t controlling the game week in week out.

He needed to get out unfortunately so he could come home.  We’re all happy now

In the video he appears to be introverted and quiet as well. I feel like that was the best camera face he could give. No offense to him or the post. He just isn't very social.

Also, Julius Peppers is one of the few human beings that make messengers bags look like purses.

I wish people would stop using introvert personalities with negative connotation. Most doctors, scientists, astronauts are introverts. Please do the world a favor and educate yourself. Just because Pepper's didn't open his big mouth yapping and fulfilling your entertainment needs does not mean he wasn't comfortable 'in his own skin'. Introversion has nothing to do with that.

    • Here is what it said about him coming out of college: Overview A three-year starter with good feet and technique, Samac could be in consideration for a move-blocking rushing attack. He is strong at the point of attack but will have limitations against NFL power. He operates with good hand placement and nimble feet and is a demon once he’s on the move as a pulling center leading the way. He’s fluid and agile in the run game, but those traits fail to do as much for him in protection. Samac punches with inside hands but can struggle to widen his protection base in order to protect his edges. He has eventual starting talent as a run blocker but needs to add more mass and improve in pass protection to get there.
    • Through 2 games cltfc has 12 shot attempts. Opponents 23 shots on target. Attack sucks, Defense definitely sucks. Kahlina is the only reason they haven't given up 14 goals in two games. 
    • I met a few times--never liked him. I figured he might have had a bad day--but then realized that he must have a lot of bad days. Once he raised his voice at my son because my son did not understand a question when SS was signing his jersey.  I wanted the jersey to represent his encounter with a Panther great, not some small man with a bad attitude.  I told me son, "Forget it.  He was asking you what your name is (My son was about 7 and told me that he thought Smitty was going to write (my son's) name on the jersey.  He said "Dad, I thought he was supposed to write HIS name on the jersey, not mine."  I said, "He was personalizing it, writing it to you--like a birthday card."  He is now grown, and he has a steve smith Jersey that is framed and matted.  He keeps it is his closet.  I asked him, "Why not have that out on your wall?"  He said, "All I remember is an A-hole scribbled on my shirt.  I don't remember a legend or hero.  But he had a Jake Delhomme Jersey on his wall.  "Jake was great.  I will always remember that."  (Jake stayed and talked to us for about 5 minutes or more--GREAT guy.)
