Is Peppers to Big?

Before I start with my theory that I want to point out that Julius is hands down my favorite Panthers and would livid if we did not bring him back next year. With that said I was watching my DVD of Super Bowl 38 and could not help but notice how much smaller he wasn then opposed to now. I was focusing all my attention to him and you could see that he would just blow right by the tackle, and it was very noticeable in the first quarter how much pressure he was getting on Brady. It seems like now Peppers just runs right at the tackle and tries to overpower him or back the tackle into his QB instead of beating him on the outside. We all know how hard he works out in the offseason and how big and strong he is, but do you think that it could be holding him back from being better than he is now. I remember in 2004 when he was not only being talked about as DPOY but MVP as well, thats how dominant he was. With that all said I am very satisfied with what Pep has done this season and would just like to hear your thoughts.

And on a side note I just wanted to say how I forgot how good Witherspoon and Morgan were together. I know we all love Davis and Beason but I dont know if there at Witherspoon and Morgans level yet.

Believe me I dont think he is having a good season, I think he is having a great season. Once again this guy has been my favorite player since he was drafted. All I am saying is I was watching him from 2003 and he was running past tackles like I haven't seen him do in years. He was so quick back then.

didnt u read the SI article hes 28, OVER THA HILL:rolleyes:

yea I think at this point in pep's career he needs to start focusing on strength, he's still fast as heck for a defensive linemen and we still put him man on man on wr's. At some point though you have to stop relying on speed and focus on strength and technique and use your speed only occasional to get by the Oline.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Bama Panther · Posted

      It was absolutely a catch, and I can’t believe how many folks were stating, before the NFL’s apology, that the overturn was the right call.  The ultimate question in this case is this: can a player complete a catch with only one hand? Of course, we all know the answer to that question, and it is an emphatic “Yes.” T-Mac maintained complete control with one hand (believe it was the right) while the other came off when the ball hit the ground. The ball was in the same position in the one hand (watch T-Mac’s fingers in relation to the NFL shield on the ball) after touching the ground as it was when it first went to the ground. Going back to the question above, if one hand can establish control, then there was no need for the other to stay on the ball, so long as the ball doesn’t move in that one hand that stays on it   It blew my mind that they overturned this in the first place. This should not be a “We got it wrong on the replay because there wasn’t clear and convincing evidence.” This should have been, “That was absolutely a catch.”

      Sign him up. I am willing to bet he wouldn't finish a game with -2 yards.

      Why Panthers’ Dave Canales won’t run a QB sneak with Bryce Young

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      He is just fuging limited in every way.  On one hand, and nfl player, you would want to bulk them up so long as it doesn’t limit their mobility, elasticity, flexibility, ROM, or dynamicism - as is the concern with bulking up.  But the issue with that is, you would be worried about that when a guy has those traits to begin with.  Bryce is a very average athlete with a weak arm.  So if you’re not gonna be a great athlete with a strong arm, bulk up.  And if you can’t or won’t bulk up, find another fuging profession that doesn’t require athleticism and arm strength.  You’re built like a bitch AND aren’t a great athlete - you can’t be subpar in both categories…  well, unless you play for the Panthers apparently.
