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.

    • Hard to interpret some of Brugler's opinions. Capable of running a robust route tree sounds like a lazy thing to say - I'm sure just about every slot TE is capable of running a full route tree... I want to know if he is currently able to (which from tape leads me to a no). Granted, it's pretty common for most receivers/TE not having a full route tree developed before they get drafted. Agility/acceleration after the catch hasn't shown up on his tape (at least his Oregon tape) for those dig/out breaking routes while it has for the seam and slant routes. Agree he has a good physical build and he is very good running seam routes. His build definitely helps him to shield defenders and create a large target point for the QB. Drops were a concern, but it could be focus drops just like T-Mac was/is prone to. Run blocking is an accurate statement, but again, we have only seen him run block in the slot/backfield - inline blocking is a whole different animal. With his athleticism, he definitely has a high ceiling. I just think he also has a low floor and don't like taking that big of a risk on a mid 1st rounder. I think this is a deep TE draft and would much rather target one in the 3rd or later. He's very boom or bust to me - bust in terms of being worth a 1st round pick, not an out of the NFL in a few years type bust. I feel like he gives me Evan Engram vibes. Not saying that Evan Engram was/is a bad NFL player, just that most people would agree he shouldn't have been drafted in the 1st.
    • I mean I would love 6-1. It’s funny the hurricanes usually dominate the first game and win by three or four goals. But keep the second game close. It would be nice if it’s the reverse of that tonight.
    • Brugler has him as TE1 and going to the Ravens in the first.  Apparently Sadiq's football IQ is pretty high (interviewed very well).  Also he was an WR and CB in high school.  This is why I always thought his route running was solid.  I'm sure it needs some polishing but for a TE it's pretty good. nfl.com Built like a bodyguard with a compact, well-defined frame. Capable of running a robust route tree. Gets in and out of breaks with good snap and separation. Vandalizes defensive seams with impunity against man coverage. Survives collisions with catches thanks to his hand strength. Shows off agility and acceleration after the catch. Fits up run blocks with proper positioning and base width. Grips and presses forward with moving feet to stay connected. -Again I don't know if we should take him but if he goes to the right team he could become a scary weapon at the next level.  I just like him as a prospect.
