Dumb idea... Have Hawk and Lattimore play closer than 6 yards from the LOS.
Well, the Peppers INT return for a TD confirms the brilliance of 31's idea to use the big fella as a redzone terror TE. Simply awesome.

Dumbest idea:
Tyrion Lannister's doing the winners and losers thread.
Peppers even got to do a mini Walter Payton high step there.
Watch Mathews on the return, he starts out going back, realizes Peppers has almost reached him, turns around and stumbles, then does a good job of getting in the way of 2 guys.
I kept hearing how RB McKinnon is such a speed demon and he never would have caught Peppers. Lattimore blocked him but at that point McKinnon was trying for a diving tackle as he knew he couldn't catch him.
Just think how effective zone defense would be if all linebackers were 6' 7" tall.
I watched this replay with a zoomed out shot and 84 wasn't running hard at first. It looks like he assumes his teammates will get to J. Pep first but when CM3 set the edge then 84 tried to get to the corner but was too late!...
Love me some J. Pep! The freak part deux! (after Javon Kearse in TN)
McCarthy jokes (seemingly) about using Julius Peppers in Packers' offense

Which begs the question: Is Peppers more valuable as a defensive or offensive player, considering our woeful TE situation and the fact we're deep at LB?
Just for grins, I was looking at salaries by position. DE is second only to QB in average salary. TE is the cheapest position player on field. (Figures from 2013, http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1...-nfl-position/)
DE $2.6M
LB $1.8M
TE $560K
