Here is what he had to say about Peppers on his website

"Our big issue for the off-season is whether J.P. will be moving on to another team. There is no replacing Julius Peppers, they just don’t make ’em like that. He always drew the attention of the offense so they would leave me alone back there. If he goes, he’ll always be remembered as Julius Peppers, “The Freak.” But I’m happy for him if he decides to leave, if that’s what he thinks is best for him. It’s hard to go out and play and give it your all if you don’t want to be where you are. That’s why contracts only go so long, players should have a right to be free agents and choose where they want to play.

I think Julius loves it here, but maybe for him it’s just time to move on."

But as he said, Peppers took a lot of attention away from him. It might be harder without Julius for Beason to excel as well as he did this year...

I'm actually really worried about that...Beason is not the biggest LB in the world. We are really gonna need to get a solid DE in there not just to pass rush but also to stop the run and take up blockers. Like he said, "they don't make em like Pep" but we are going to need someone other than CJ and Brayton if we want any chance of succeeding on defense.

are you guys forgetting how many times peppers was contained by just one person, many times a rookie or a 2nd or 3rd stringer?

him being gone would hurt more if peppers was consistently applying pressure and getting doubled up.

since that wasn't the case beason will be fine.

Obviously Peppers did enough that Beason is worried about his own performance without Peppers

I know they chipped Peppers, and such... but wasn't it when the middle of the line went down that Beason kinda became a non factor?

Peppers wasn't doubled all season, as a matter of fact he wasn't doubled that much at all this season. but Beason still made plays.

I'm not say'n Peppers isn't a factor on this team, but I think the "attention" Peppers got wasn't as much as it's played up to be.

but that might just be me.

i don't think he is really all that worried nor should he be.

if peppers gave it everything he's got every game all game, then yeah...but teams didn't exactly double or triple peppers up all the time.

beason doesn't want pep to leave, i have no doubt of that but i don't think that we are going to notice a lot of difference in beason's coverage. if he can get someone who is constantly applying pressure throughout the game we may see an improvement.

Kemo was more important to keeping blockers off Beason than Peppers.

Is it just me, or does anyone else get a slight "damn with faint praise" feel out of the second half of that paragraph?

sensed it as well. i don't really think the players are happy about it. i'm sure they are pissed at him. they just can't really say anything.

      Brindamour said this isn't the time of the year for making changes and therefore expect Nikishin to be a healthy scratch til at least two defenceman get injured. Yes I said two because ya don't make changes and there other guys on the roster who've played with the group in games.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol Honestly, it might sound dumb, but I've had this idea in my head of a specific picture I really want to get with him since draft night. Basically I want it to be of the two of us sitting on the floor next to each other with the picture from behind.  Ideally it would have been with us both wearing T-Mac jerseys (and me wearing an Arizona hat that has block A logo on the back of it too), but since they won't have baby versions of those for a bit and that does seem like a waste of money on something he'll grow out of in a few months, I think I'll go with this that I've found on Amazon for like 12 bucks........ I'll get this made with T-Mac's #4 but then my Nephew's first name (which incidentally starts with a T, so I've already joked to my sister that she needs to change his middle name to something with "Mc" or "Mac" in it so i can call him T-Mac lol) Just think that would make for a really cool picture for me to have of him at this age (just over 13 months now), with the two of us wearing our #4's.  It's the type of thing I can absolutely see myself getting it printed out by Shutterfly on one of those canvas like prints to hang on my wall. And seeing as they live in NYC with me in Michigan, not sure the next time I'll see him again as I can't just drive on down the street for a picture when the jersey arrives, so was hoping I'd be able to take advantage of seeing them at the end of the month to get this picture, but it would all be dependent on the jersey (and this custom onesie) being shipped in time.
