Charles Johnson or Mike Rucker???

Place some good DEs and some blitzing around CJ and watch him shine. Not many DEs in the league can play inside and out while getting passrush.

That's the key there, he can move inside on passing downs and get an extra rush end in there to create that extra havoc

That's a tough one. If you consider the age factor I'd do with Johnson. He's only 24 with 11.5 sacks for his break out year. He's a lot of good years ahead of him. CJ is also exceptionally strong.

I heard he benched more than anyone else on the roster. I saw that in an article, maybe carolina growl? Sorry I don't have a link, badass mentioned his strenght and I remembered reading the article. It was last year sometime I think.

Rucker had a very solid career. He was never great at anything, but he was good at everything.

I would say CJ definitely has the talent to be as good or better, but it's tough to make the comparison after just one good season from CJ. CJ is a better pure pass rusher than Rucker ever was though. Rucker really only had a three year run of being a good pass rusher and it's not a coincidence that run began Peppers' rookie season.
