Peppers Vs Clady


BriningDaPain

Recommended Posts

Denver's O-line is on pace to allow the 3rd fewest sacks in NFL history. They have only allowed 8 sacks all year, but 3 of those sacks were credited to backs and TE's.

Clady has only given up .5 a sack this year I can't wait to see what he does against arguably the best DE in the NFL.

where do u find stats like that for o-linemen?

I'm trying to hunt down the article that said it but the two teams who have allowed less sacks were two Miami Dolphin teams in the 80's.

As for who the sacks were credited too... One of our Guards dad posts on our site and tells us how our players were "graded" by the coaches and he said that our O-line has really given up 5 sacks and the backs and TE's gave up the other 3..

He's still a rookie. I'de like to see if they end up having to double team him. Hell, even when they put the running back on Pep for help we should still have some type of blitz dialed up, but never do...

I'm sure if they could see a play into the future they would always have something to do because something is about to happen.:eek:

Clady receives no TE help despite the presence of Daniel Graham on this team. He's shut down Joey Porter and John Abraham by himself...rookie or not. If I had to guess I'd say the Panthers might move Peppers over Ben Hamilton at LG. He's undersized at 6'4" 290 and he's given up 2 1/2 sacks. Chris Kuper at RG has given up zero sacks this year so I expect to see Hamilton faced up on Peppers at times. The thing is, Cutler is also very mobile and gets rid of the ball very quickly so even when protection lapses he's generally either already delivered the ball or he's bootlegging around like Plummer used to.

    • A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.    
    • You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
    • Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.
