Peppers is THE MOST VALUABLE defender in the league

[unicar15]

He was completely underutilized here and I understand why he wants out. Think about what a coordinator like Jim Johnson could do with Pep?? Its unreal to think about the amount of pressure that he would put on a QB with JJs blitz schemes. We spent so much time rushing 4 or dropping him into a zone blitz that he never realized his full potential. I'm pissed that he wants to go but hopefully Hurney doesn't screw the pooch in the trade because after a 15 sack season and his pedigree there is no doubt in my mind that he is the most valuable defender in the league when he gets in a potent system.

Talented yes, he's a freak. Maybe we could transfer Mike Minter's brain into his body for the complete package.

On another note...If Pep walks then Fox might as well walk as well because his entire defense is built around this one player. As much as I love playing the 4-3 it doesn't work without pressure. If we trade Peppers, Richardson needs to seriously consider making a STRONG run at a coach that builds 3-4 defenses (not necessarily Cowher but he is the prime target) because this line is ATROCIOUS without that man on the end...

I agree totally.....I do think we could bring the god of D-coordinators here and it would do noting for him. He was beat by a journeyman LT single blocked all game. He will only be rejuvenated with new surroundings. Our scheme is terrible......Passive zones. Peppers dropping back.
