Analysis of the Hybrid LB/SS Role in Gregg Williams' D...

Tour, I've heard the honey badger comparisons as well. Same idea, but some differences. Peppers is bigger and can hold up in the box better, but Tyrann is better in coverage

Agree... Mathieu is undersized for the role and it has taken its toll on him.
As for Peppers... I just can't wrap my arms around him. I have a nagging inkling he's another Devin Hester, who for all his physical talent never developed coverage skills. But whose return skills kept him around until someone in CHI figured out trying him as a full-time WR.
I've wondered if Peppers isn't ultimately destined for RB. I've read one article projecting that future for him.

I'm not making excuse Gipper, I'm stating facts. I'm not sure how I can be more clear. Others in this thread seem to get what I was saying so that's good enough for me.

Then...when and if he sucks I will expect you to admit that it is primarily his own doing.
And when and if he succeeds you can also say that it was primarily his own doing.
Not the DCs either way.
-
We'll have to see how he's used. The DC gets credit both ways as well. That is especially true in this case. That's the point I'm trying to get across. This is a player who's unique skill-set can best be utilized by a creative, good DC. It will mostly be on Peppers, but the DC and scheme is especially important in his case
-
Peppers is a ball killer why would we use him on offense much? He's a guided cruise missile
-
I read a quote by some anonymous scout that thinks he'd be better on offense.
Ja.brill Peppers - Cleveland Brown OldBrownsFan, on 02 Jun 2017 - 5:09PM said: "No you are not the work of the devil but you are deceived by the devil." Who's got it better than us? Nooooobody! -
Well, this guy may be better suited to the "hybrid" spot:
Obi Melifonwu

6'4 219. Compared to 6'0 205 for Peppers
-
And maybe for a 5th round flyer this guy:
Josh Harvey-Clemons
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2017/profiles/josh-harvey-clemons?id=2557880
6'5 228

I think he provides more long term value / potential on defense than offense.

I don't believe thinking you're an NFL Scout makes you one.
I see we're in a mood tonight...

Amen.
In mock draft news, CBS Sports mocked Peppers to us at 12.

Won't even complain at this point. I've said my piece, I leave it to the front office to assure, or destroy, their job security.

Tony Jefferson still a free agent?

Great question. I remember advocating for him a few years back on another board as a mid round target.
He had a career 2016 and I'd be VERY interested in taking a look at what his market value is. While I might love the thought of having some home grown boys on the roster, Jefferson brings the ability to supplant Tyvis AND
play a more traditional back hash role as well.

Looks like he is and maybe a cheap get at a couple million per.
