Harris on Pep...


Recommended Posts

http://ow.ly/1g279

Hey... What's goin' with my good-old Chicago Family? I thought I'd drop by, say "hi," and take a minute to share a few thoughts about my good friend, Julius Peppers.

Quite simply… Julius is one of the most dominant players in the league. He'll get double and triple-teamed, and still be able to brush everyone off him. But, even with that being true, he still tends to get a bad rap from people who say he's sometimes out there half-ass'n things, and I promise you that's not true. Sure... Julius doesn't get to the quarterback aaaaaaaaaall the time (Who does?), but that doesn't mean he's slackin'. Some fans and analysts need to understand that you shouldn't equate being a hard-worker by the number of sacks you get - that's simply not a fair way to gauge a player's efforts.

Here's the truth of the matter...

Julius is a FREAKISH talent. The reason someone might watch him play and think he's not giving it his all is because he makes playing the game of football look so damn easy. The last thing he's doing is slacking - he's just out there being the beast that he is in such a graceful way that he makes his gig look effortless. So don't confuse things - the man is definitely getting the job done. ...And with authority, might I add.

When I put in a good word for Julius as he was scouting the marketplace, I told anyone who wanted to know my opinion about him everything I just ran by you. And even though I hated that he might not be a Panther anymore, I had to be honest and say that Julius would most certainly boost the defense of whichever team brought him on. It's not everyday a player of his caliber comes along, and the Bears are going to be a better team for being the lucky ones who landed him.

Good luck next year!

Chris

He's not going to sandbag his former teammate. But yeah, Pep was a monster when he felt motivated to be a monster. Chicago will get a beast for a year or two, after that who knows.

you are right he would not sandbag a former teammate, but if he truly felt peppers wasnt giving it his all then why would he voluntarily do that write up. there is no reason for chris harris to say those things if thats not what he truly felt.

this should finally shut up all the people who say julius doesnt give 100%, but of course it wont because you all know more then chris hariis :rolleyes:

Im sorry Harris but we are the ones that get to see the whole picture. Everyone on the board has seen peppers slack off. Its good to know he is sticking up for him but I hope he has a apology speech ready when Lovie asks why the hell did you say he gave 100%.

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
