To soothe some still sandy vaginas...

Since Julius Pepper's departure, here is how he stacks up against our star DE, CJ, over the last two seasons:

Peppers - 17 sacks/87 total tackles/4 FF/2 INTs

CJ - 20.5/101 tackles/2 FF/0 INTs

Their numbers are identical this year, but still... Food for thought.

That is all.

or did we get a deal when we resigned CJ instead of peepers

Winner.

And after CJ's breakout year last year, I'd say it's a pretty logical conclusion that he commands similar attention for the most part...

As I said, their numbers are identical this year. And CJ makes about 3.25 mil less a year.

Hurney actually won on this gamble (although he still should've gouged someone for picks with Pep).

Peppers also has blocked 3 kicks in that time span. He also has more passes defended by a wide margin.......both those speak to his diversity.

We use our DEs primarily on the line. But, that is why I included Pep's INTs because it shows he's slightly more versatile. Pep has 13 PDs to 4 for CJ and that's the only significant difference between the two. CJ has been in coverage a good deal this year and almost had two picks IIRC.

Bottom line is, they're not that different.

      Run Threat Rate -- is this good?

      By TD alt · Posted

      Actually we like to run more than most, and the dropoff isn't that drastic. We seem to be pretty much middle of the road. The Facons, Bucs, Browns and Bengals are the ones where running drops off markedly when they start trailing. Our line, like I said, is somewhat middle of the road.  As to whether or not if it's good or bad is anyone's guess by looking at this. I suspect people who like Old school football won't be upset at this at all. The thing is, we would have to know the game scripts and the situations, as running and or passing making sense is contextual. I know that I haven't necessarily been enamored with Canales's situational play calling. At the end of the day, I believe in using the run to set up the pass and the pass to set up the run, and trying to keep the opposition off balance, but I still believe that you should run it down their throats if they can't stop it.

      Because he's from Charlotte, grew up a Panthers fan, and could still make amazing money as an elite LG for his hometown team. And while I think he's a quality starting LT, he's not a Top 5 type of player either.  If he could prove to be a true elite LG, the money might not be that different than what he could make as a LT anyways. I'm not saying he will, but I don't think it's out of the realm of possibilities.
