Official Jabrill Peppers Appreciation Thread

I for one have said negative things about Jabrill.
I even said he was here for 3 years...... Seems like 10
The guy has been a colossal flop as a returner
He finally made an impact in game 30 of his career.
Not the impact a 1st round pick should be making
Stuff like this basically.
Thanks. Right on cue

Football fans oughta know some football, all im sayin. Plenty of knowledgeable bros here on how the game is played at diff positions, not just stat sheet guys. Its not that hard nor time consuming, there really is more going on down on the field than the center sbapping the ball to the qb. So many of u just park ur eyes on who has the ball....all of u have tivo, this isnt the 80's where u have to walk up to the betamax and hit rewind only to have the film cone off the spool. It just wouldnt hurt every now and then to watch where the ball "isnt" going cause sometimes thats where some pretty important shit is happening

I admit that I DEFINITELY said some negative things about Jabrill. I was hard on him when he fumbled that ball in Tampa. I was hard on him last year, although I recognized he was in the wrong position, but I still wanted to see SOME game-changing plays. I wanted to see some explosive returns, big hits, caused fumbles, sacks, or whatever. I didn't feel like I saw any of those things, and I also witnessed him taking atrocious angles and missing on tackles. Fast forward to this year, and I was still a bit tough on him, but it was obvious that he was playing much better in his natural position. He appeared to be playing "faster", and all of the sudden you were hearing his name come up more and more. Not only that, but his punt returns started to get better, too. Punt returns are so much of a combined effort, that it's not totally fair to blame it ALL on Peppers, and we all know our special teams as a unit isn't a thing of beauty. Jabrill also had a fair catch in a close game where there wasn't a guy within a country MILE of him, and THAT really pizzed me off.
But guess what? He's starting to "feel it" now, and you can just tell by watching him play. You know what impressed me the most about that sack to clinch the game? The fact that Jabrill wasn't even supposed to go the route he took for the sack, and he was supposed to loop around. If you slow the play down, you can almost see where he's about to go around, but immediately sees the opening and just HITS IT with terrific speed. Even after the sack I didn't celebrate because I could JUST SEE a roughing the QB flag coming out because he landed on him or some crap, but he didn't (that would've been like the Brownsiest sht of ALL time, right? AT Denver? lol). Peppers actually crunched the QB, and then had the balance to brace himself with his arms and not hardly land on Keenum at all. It was just awesome, and I won't lie...I kind of had a tear in my eye listening to Peppers after the game because he's worked so hard, he's been close to some big plays, he's been yelled at while shopping at CVS, and the guy worked his azz off and made some humongous plays to help us win the game. You could just SEE the emotion in his eyes and hear it in his voice.
Well done, young man.

(that would've been like the Brownsiest sht of ALL time, right?)
Only if additionally he'd thrown his helmet off with time left on the clock...

Bottom line for Peppers is that he's finally played a season in a role approaching that which made him a 1st round pick...
... and it just may be the start of something foundational.

Hey!! What happened to my JC Tretter Appreciation thread? I know I said to get rid of the Charlie Frye thread, but not the JC thread.
I think we needed to do an homage to a guy that came from a non-traditional football program (Cornell) instead of a football factory. And he sure had been doing a much steadier job for this team the last couple of years than Jabrill had been doing. If a guy can spew his obsession all over this board for a guy that went to a school he was affiliated with, can't the rest of us also get some love for some guys on this team who went to colleges that the rest of us have an affiliation with? And JC is, after all, a current starter for this team.
Or, was that thread becoming too "marinated" (as in, it was becoming all about Ed Marinaro, not JC Tretter)?

If Michigan was a factory it would produce Ford Pintos... ?

I’m just hoping Peppers has another stellar game this week. I could give a rats ass where he went to school. He’s in the land now and he’s ours. I’m looking forward to him wasting some of those bengal lancers Sunday now that he’s catching up to the pro game and has some decent one direction coaching

I am thinking ahead a bit....to the Ravens game.
It seems to me that one strategy that may have to be deployed is to put a "spy" on Lamar Jackson, because of his running ability...which you want to limit? You want Jackson to try to beat you with his arm, which is the weak part of his game, and not with his legs.
Is it fair to say that the guy perhaps either most expendable...and well equipped to be that spy is Peppers?
-
"Most expendable player".... that we'd task with shutting down their most explosive player
But I'm not sure who'd we task with that. Technically, since Kindred and Pep can both start, it might be one of them.
