Impact of Coaching changes on Peppers' status?

I'm still ready to ship this guy out

Depending on the DC that we hire I could be EVEN MORE ready to ship the guy out. Our defense has been more reliant on our front 4 for pressure since the day Turdo took the reigns. Maybe the new guy can actually get pressure from other areas of the field. Ever wonder how a team like Philly gets pressure on you when they don't have a 6'7'' physical freak on the end?? Well I have been wondering and I am hoping Sean McDermott can tell us...

LOL, what a shocker! The ABCers are happy that Peppers is leaving.

Personally, I don't hold it against Peppers that he wants to leave, but I do believe that he's mistaken if he thinks he's an OLBer. Maybe he'll prove me wrong though. Either way, I think it has more to do with him wanting to play outside of NC for the first time in his life than playing in a different system, but I could be wrong.

I agree.

I had a feeling one major motivation was just getting out of the state he's spent his entire life in.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
