Pep Vs. Pats, AFC East, Postseason...

[Montsta]

A few numbers I was looking at regarding the Pep to New England rumors. Everyone should take it for what it's worth, but I was thinking about NC_Biscuits' post saying how Captain Hoody only pays players who have either played for him, or if they have given him fits. Well here is the numbers I found for Peppers, that may help or hurt the argument that he could go to NE.

His numbers against NE speak for themselves, he's dissapeared...

Peppers against the New England (2 Games, Including SB 38):

3 Tackles, 0 Sacks

_____________________

The abysmal numbers he's put up against NE improve drastically against the rest of the AFC East, which supports the argument of him leaving to NE...

Peppers Against The Rest Of The AFC East (3 Games):

12 Tackles, 2.5 Sacks

However, if you play for New England, you had better show the F up in the postseason, which clearly, Pep has not done numbers wise...

Postseason (8 Games, Including SB 38)

22 Tackles, 2 Sacks

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not much of a historic-numbers-as-a-referance type guy, but I know Billy B likes players who step up when it matters. But who knows, maybe he's sure he can get a lot more out of Pep than Fox ever has. I personally can't stand the Patriots, but I think if Pep goes there, he will become a HOF lock, and I might even have to buy a NE Pep jersey. (To frame, not to wear in public. Ever.)

Five total games is not really a whole hell of a lot to judge by.

Especially since you knew BB was going to take Peppers out anyway, I bet if you asked him he would be like "yea Peppers don't worry me because I know how to deal with him".
