the things we miss the most about pep will be the things no one can replace. his athleticism and presence sometimes changes plays. i have said this a million times. you cant be overrated on a ....ALL PRO TEAM.... it is not like a probowl selection with fans voting. many fans missed the plays he makes just by being there, all we see is if he doesnt get a sack a lot, most of us dont break down plays where he is not involved in the play but makes one any way. running down rbs FROM BEHIND, pushing running plays the other way, shutting down screens(remember arizona game), blocking field goals, knocking down balls, playing in the flat, sometimes coming from the other side of the field to make plays with others are tripping over themselves.

Like Randy Moss, Peppers at his best is magnificent... but also like Moss, Peppers best only seems to come out when he's in the mood.

In contrast, a guy like Michael Jordan was as gifted in his sport as Moss or Peppers AND put his best effort on the court every night... that's what seperates the good ones from the great ones.

i understand. but there will be times when you will see a play slip by our de's and it wont be because the didnt try but they arent the athletic freak that pep is. we have to move on from peppers, but to act like he had no impact on games is crazy. his athletic presence alone made up for our holes in defense.

But no DE apply consistent pressure.I think all of our DE would have done better with a good pass rushing DT.

this.it was plenty of times were pep came hard off the end and the opposing qb would just step up in the pocket and make a god pass.(other de's as well but mostly pep)

I wouldn't say that.

What I would say is Charles Johnson having more sacks than Pepp. This is a year where he can prove himself, and take on a full starting role. I see great potential in him, I think Brown still needs to put on some size before he's thrown into an all down player.

We'll see though.

wow man you're a genius you should def get a job at ESPN ASAP

      Would you take a chance on Cam Ward?

      They definitely shied away in part of Deion and the hype machine. Hell, even the Browns' football people didn't want him. Just look at the faces in that room as the pick was being announced. LOL  But honestly, Shedeur checks all the boxes of guys who put up big numbers in college but don't project well to the NFL. QB friendly pass happy offense. Bad defense that forces the team to chase points. Weak schedule. Marginal measurables and talent. I mean, let's be honest, what plus physical traits does he have at the NFL level? Size? Below average. Arm? Below average. Mobility? Average. Then you add in the Travis Hunter factor of an all world athlete being your primary target. Finally, you have to look at his playing style. He basically plays like Johnny Manziel. There's pretty much only two guys who have made that style of play work for them in the modern era and that's Favre and Mahomes and they both have absolute cannon arms. Caleb Williams has that cannon and he's still struggling to make it work. Yeah, the Deion circus hurt him but when you objectively look at his NFL projection then combine it with the reports that he handled the whole pre-draft process extremely poorly it's not a shock he fell to the 5th. If his name was Shedeur Johnson instead of Shedeur Sanders there wouldn't have been this massive hype train around him. The media hype misled a lot of people regarding his NFL projection. He basically projects as a backup and the last thing you want out of a backup is a circus. Their fault or not, that's why guys like The Golden Calf of Bristol, Kaepernick, and Cam never carved out careers as backups.

      *disclaimer, no need to tell us what happened in the end, just quit watching after he gets the Mountain on the ground.  I mean, he technically beat him.  Renfrow isn't cocky enough to then get leg swept and then have all that other stuff happen to him.

      Well, it seems a little confusing, but I guess not: I guess they're thinking that we're going to the way that our receivers go. Barnwell just ranked us 31 at the (so-called) offensive skill positions. ESPN just doesn't think that much of the Panthers. I wonder if it was the O-line that bumped us up one spot, because they obviously don't think that much of our safety position, or our pass-rush. In any event, there should be ample enough bulletin board material here for the team.
