Taking plays off...who does and who doesn't?

Alright smart guys. I've seen quite a few people complaining about how Peppers is lazy, takes plays off, yada, yada, yada.

So my question to you is who does and does not take plays off? You've already declared that Pep takes plays off. How about Jared Allen? He's a pretty high motor guy right? Surely he doesn't take plays off. I think we can all agree that he is one of the best DE's in the league, and if you don't think so, get the hell out of this thread. Anyway...he played in the same number of games and had 3 more tackles than Peppers. So he must be pretty lazy too, huh? Pfft. How about Richard Seymour? Is he lazy too? He only had 52 tackles and 8 sacks. fuging slacker. Aaron Kampman? He had 62 tackles and 9.5 sacks. Only 9.5 sacks?!?!?! WTF was he taking sedatives?

Is there not one fuging defensive end in the league that doesn't sleepwalk his way through games?

People who were in the huddle (not the messageboard) with him have said that he does. Haven't heard the same comments from any teammates from the other guys that you mentioned.

Look at the source. You're talking about Buckner. He always had a big mouth and was jealous of Peppers from day one. Then you go and take Buckners career numbers and put them beside other DT's and you tell me what the fug he was doing in the NFL.

The fact of the matter is that most teams that played us gameplanned for Peppers. They doubled him on passing downs over half the time, and ran away from him the other half. Teams don't gameplan for players like Buckner, Rucker, Brayton, etc. etc. They do gameplan for Peppers. And yet Peppers numbers are still in the upper echelon for DE's.

Peppers doesn't take plays off. He often plays more snaps than any other linemen on the team.

I will say this. As long as he's been in the league ~ you'd think he would have better technique and more moves than he does.

Its hard to believe that Pep has not been shown how to use the rip or spin move. I think he just likes the bull rush and the swim move IMO. I mean they have lined the guy up as many ways as you could have in 7 years. Hell they used him as a TE before even.

I think people are saying he takes plays off WHILE being on the field, i.e. he doesn't "try". Somehow these people have got the idea that Peppers is actually superman and should be getting a sack every other play. Or that some 330 lb. beast that is strong as an ox shouldn't be able to block him at all.

Since Peppers is taking plays off, and his numbers are some of the best in the NFL for defensive lineman, then that must mean the NFL is full of lazy fugers.

I ignore people who say he takes plays off. They are just talking out of their asses anyways.

Maybe they are onto something, which is why I want to put together this list of people who are not lazy. Perhaps our coaches will see this ingenious list and go after some of them in free agency.

So we've already established that Jared Allen, Richard Seymour, and Aaron Kampman are bums...let's get to those players that aren't lazy...

Maybe instead of takes plays off it would be better to say he completely disappears during games...even consecutive games

even playoff games. :(

I don't want him to make a sack on every play, I just want him to look like he cares on every play. There are so many times that you see a pile coming right at him and he sort of dances a bit out of the way to make sure he feet don't get tangled up into it.

I dare you to watch an entire game and actually watch PEPPERS on every play, and only him. You will see exactly what I am talking about, it is ridiculous.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By bandu · Posted

      there is one common denominator in the 2003 & 2015 Carolina Panthers teams they both had ELITE top tier Qb play.  it would require a MVP type of season from Bryce Young to have the same type of success that Jake Delhomme had in  2003 & or Cam Newton in 2015 & lead this team to a SuperBowl is this going to happen or is there any reason to believe Bryce Young is capable of playing similar to Jake Delhomme in 2003 or Cam Newton in 2015 ? well no there is no absolutely NO reason whatsoever to believe that this is going to happen in 2026 ..just saying

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I'd actually like to see Cherelus get a fair shot to win the job in camp. Wallace is decent in drop zone coverage, but he gets abused in the play action game and is often times out of position in the run game. It might just be me, but I swear every time I watch Wallace play, I see multiple plays a game were it looks like he's just trying to be blocked. Watching Cherelus last year he at least looked like he was trying to hit someone on every play. Wallace plays like a LB who doesn't trust what he sees and it makes him passive and cautious versus Cherelus who regardless of if his decision is right or wrong goes at it 100%.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      Agreed.  Hasn’t happened to me either, but I feel very strongly about it.  That’s not just one of the worst things a woman could do to a man, it’s a power inherent to only women and is one of the worst things a HUMAN being can do to another.  A man can’t “hide” a pregnancy or maternity.  It’s impossible.  And that sucks for anyone that has to go through that. I always got a weird vibe off her and just found her very unlikeable.  Annoying even.  I’ve always been good at reading people and there was just something about her to me that was off-putting, somewhere under the surface.  And here we are…  she is despicable.
