    Interesting comment. I don't disagree though. He's run down WRs and HBs in games where he could just take a break.

    It's amazing how one player can have people think he's a great tackler and people think he's a terrible tackler at the same time

    Woody....we hold YOU personally responsible for his performance. So you better have gotten this right!! 😆

    And college is different than the nasty professional game, separates the men from the boys who want the paychecks and not the brutal play.

    • if he could pick one guy to be the last tackler between a ball carrier and the winning TD, it'd be Peppers.

    I know I don't see Peppers as a hard-hitting, form tackler, but that's different from reliably bringing the ball carrier to the ground and I think that's what Gruden was saying.

    Right but there are people, including some on here, that just think he can't tackle

    FIFY

  • I was hoping the Browns would draft Peppers...in about the 4th round.

  • It'll be fun looking back at these threads once Peppers starts making plays all over the field.... I'm thinking by early November.

  • If you haven't seen

    .. you really should. His sr season stats aren't what you'd expect, for good reason.

  • So(RS) season *

    Anticipating a suspension?

    His stats were the topic of discussion this morning on the local sports radio. They were something along the lines of:

    10 passes defended

    1 interception

    0 forced fumbles

    BTW, those are career stats.

    Not the kind of stats I would expect from a first rounder (and I don't give 2 shits which college he attended).

    That's a hell of a price tag for a special teams guy.

    lol Naaaa, I'm just giving him a little time to get really rolling.

  • ]What's so hard to understand? They did pretty much what I thought they would do. They took the best pass rusher in the draft, a safety that fits Gregg Williams' scheme as a box safety and fills our returner needs as well, and a tight end with tremendous upside for an offensive scheme that led to Tyler Eiffert catching 13 TD's in Hue Jacksons last season in Cincinnati.

    And they had to make all of those deals to do that?

    What they're doing is trying to show the rest of the NFL is that they are the smartest ones in the room.

    I don't know if this is true, but I read that the Steelers were planning on picking Peppers or Njoku with their pick, so yeah, if they double-screwed the Steelers then I'm not complaining.

  • as said 3 fucking starters but yet some assholes want to bitch we also get an extra first to make it almost impossible not to get the best qb in the draft next year

    Well some trade ammunition in the first round might help.

    I still think that they could've done better but isn't that true about everyone.

    Dude, EVERY PLAY all he did was set the edge to make the runner cut back into the DL. That was his role - and on passing downs first act as if he was going to blitz to require the extra blocker to stay in before dropping into a hook zone in that side of the field. If the radio never brought that up..... you wasted your time because the lack of that information will understandably lead to erroneous conclusions.

    He was simply a fourth LB for UM last year.

    You do realize Alabama's Reuben Foster had.. 2 PD, zero interceptions, and zero forced fumbles all of last season, right?

  • 3rd LB mostly.

    Lewis - Thomas - Hill - Stribling

    Peppers - Gedeon - McCray

    Charlton - Hurst - Glasgow - Wormley

    Or something like that.

    We could go from a traditional 4-3 (kinda) to a 4-2-5 nickel (kinda) without subbing that LB off, cuz it was Jabrill

    This should be required viewing for all Browns fans who seem to have forgotten how bad our defense was at setting the edge.

    Kinda important flexibility against a growing number of NFL opponents... with PTG at the top of the list...
