The Peppers saga just got a little more interesting...

I hadn't thought about this until now, but there is no question that Everette Brown is an RDE... remember that last year Peppers asked to be moved from LDE to RDE because it felt more natural to him - and subsequently had a career high in sacks. With Peppers and Brown there is no question about who is playing RDE.

Now, not only does he have to come back and play for a team he doesn't want to play for, but he has to move back over to LDE and watch Everette Brown get most of the sacks.

They should have wrote: "P.S. FU Julius" on the card they handed up to select Everette Brown, LOL.

You don't trade a 1st round pick to draft a guy you plan to play as a backup, Brown is clearly a starter at this point when you look at our stable of DE's. At 6'1" 256 he can't play LDE so there's only one place for him on the field right now and that happens to be the spot Julius currently occupies.

I think that Julius will be happy with this addition. He started becoming unhappy when he didn't have quality on the other side and got too much attention because teams didn't have to worry about the other side. If they start having to worry, it's all good. I don't think this is meant to be his replacement, but his complement...

Julilus Peppers is a veteran who leads our franchise in sacks and has been elected to multiple Pro Bowls. Slated to make towards 17 million this year, I believe he will play where he and the coaching staff feel he will be most affective despite the presence of Everette Brown.

Hilee Taylor and Charles Johnson showed signs of being able to pass rush last year, but neither really were consistent in getting to the quarterback. Hopefully Brown can contribute immediately.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By OldhamA · Posted

      I think you have to factor in that we're still not an attractive proposition for Head Coaches. You're not getting the cream of the crop if you fire Canales a year after winning the NFC South, especially considering the situation he walked into.

      Yeah, I was about to say I hope he's doing okay health-wise because he's not looking good in that pic.

      Honestly, I dont  think he should be on the hot seat yet. A bad start to next year, then yes. Despite our mistakes on play calling this past season, we played better than anticipated overall. Bryce showed improvement and maturity (although still not nowhere close to our expectations). Better record and 2-15 to 5-12 to 8-9. Despite what we feel the stats dont lie we are improving by 3 wins a year. Could 11-6 be our expectation. That's a high bar but at the rate we are going, thats what its looking like. We all want to see a 5-12 to a 13-4 record but we are methodically moving up. Success doesnt happen overnight (well in most cases).  IMO we are struggling mostly on the defensive end. LB and edge are our biggest weakness. I see Bryce making improvements (even though I was a Bryce hater) next year. Biggest concern is LT on offense. How to fix this? We need a big name edge or to trade up and get a big name edge or LB and pick up one in FA and draft one. Also if in the 3rd we can pick up a TE. Dont know if Sanders is the answer or Tremble (even though I love Trembles blocking and power after the catch). If these two can get their footwork together they would be great. Maybe all they need is a better TE coach. And if Brooks can stay healthy and be the back we thought he could be, man that would be great
