I think the first half they will test Pep out against both. Then leave him wherever he is having the most success.

Peppers is always looking for the easy way, and that is why IMO he won't line up against Gross very much. He'll do it a few times to see if he can get teh best of him and once Gross shuts him down he'll give up and switch sides.

Harris was a great safety, and still is. Anyone who thinks different doesn't watch football. Beason said he was heart broke when we traded him.

Troy Polamalu is a great safety

Ed Reed was a great safety (don't know if he still is)

Chris Harris has always just been above average

I'm glad this thread isn't about the douche bag on Packman's radio show. Did you guys know he and "dimbee" are one and the same?

A side note on my suggestions for improving Charlotte as a sports town:

1. Have our radio hosts be Panthers fans.

2. Have our Panthers forums be moderated exclusively by Panthers fans.

Thanks. Let me know when complete.

No one has handled Peppers so far this year. Gotta give credit where it is due, SO FAR he has been consistant for Chicago.

Gross doesn't look to be the same guy this year. Well, he still false starts all the time but the rest of his play doesn't seem to be back to where he was at one time.

There was a time when I would have said they were evenly matched...so far this season if things remain the same I would give Pep a slight edge.

For a guy with such a high football IQ he gets toasted in coverage far too often.

I think Minter had a good IQ....when you lose it or don't got the speed to begin with you get toasted. Late in Minter's career you could tell a good football IQ doesn't mean you can always get there.

Truth be told, man, Peppers should be doing whatever he can do best benefit his team right?

Anyways if he switches to our right side, Jimmy could be hurtin quick.

If Beason said he's worried about Harris then that's good enough for me. Tough on a young QB and young WR's to have to change the terminology... Bears suck against the run, I'm hoping this is the week we find our running game.

Actually the bears are 6th in the NFL in yds per rush @ 3.5 yds per carry. they have only been ran on 88 times in 4 games, which is 3rd fewest in the league. they have also had 5 rushing TD's scored on them in those 88 rushes, only 2 teams have allowed more rushing TD's (Buffalo -7, Jacksonville - 6). So they do give up the pts on the ground if you can stick with the run.

interestingly enough, the panthers defense is 5th in the league @ 3.3 yds per carry despite being ran on the 3rd most in the league at 136 attempts.

the bears vanunted D is also gives up only 2yds per game less than our "terrible" defense. we just give up a lot more pts so far in the season.

I thought those stats were interesting, it doest seem like to me that the bears defense has been tested on the ground much this year due to the fact that Cutler and co. have been able to score pretty quickly and get a decent lead, causing teams to abadon the run.

If we can slow them down (very possible with a ancient QB), and establish the running game, this could be a good game for us on both sides of the ball.
