Can Defense sustain Peppers loss?

I really didn't think he lived up to all the hype myself, I guess I was expecting another Lawrence Taylor coming out of unc, lol. But he did create alot of double teams, along with his share a sacks and qb pressure.

With the 8th ranked defense last year, how much do they fall off this year? I hope not too much, with young quarterbacks and only steve smith as our only wr threat so far, imo, we could be looking at a long season. Any takes on our defense?

Other teams had to gameplan for Peppers and to a lesser extent Beason. Now all teams really have to worry about is Beason. Hopefully somebody on the d-line will step up, but I'm not optimistic. I don't think there will be a huge dropoff, but I don't expect to be nearly as good either.

Truth be told there are a lot of question marks going into this season, and defense is the least of them.

Either way it goes, it's going to be a very interesting season.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.
