while peppers is overrated, part of it is teams scheme away from him.

One thing not mentioned about Pep, he doesn't get hurt and is having a long career.

I'm worried Beason will have a short career now, Lavar Arrington never recovered once he blew his Achilles.

David Beckham tore his achilles and fully recovered, Beason is gonna have the best medical staff around him.

No one has called out Pep's name in so long I forgot he was still in the NFL. It is, after all, NOT a contract year for him. Did he even play last week against Carolina?

Funny since he blocked a fg on us.

Yes he can comeback. I wouldnt be surprised to see him play his last couple of years here.

If he wants to come back to a cheaper contract than the last one we gave him, sure. Sign him to a one year deal with a ton of incentives. If he performs, you try to make a deal. But you NEVER break the bank on him again, even if he is one of the best DEs in the game. Screw me once, shame on you. Screw me twice...well, shame on you again. That's just mean, you ass.

He can come back as a special teams field goal blocking specialist and a rotational DE, but assuming it'd be years down the road before this would even conceivably happen, I'd rather have a 27-28 year old CJ and Hardy than a 35 year old Peppers. I don't think he'd be happy with a situational DE and ST player salary.

I'm sure Peppers is just dying to come back here...I mean He SUCKED last year, his team didn't even make it to the Playoffs, and he wasn't even mentioned as far as great defensive players go..... wait, wrong situation. I'm sure he sees promise in Carolina, but people that say he wishes he would've stayed have to be out of their mind. (Not directed towards anybody just a semi-random rant)

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.
