Dumb idea... Have Hawk and Lattimore play closer than 6 yards from the LOS.

One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

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.
Anyone a physicist here? I wanna know why and how Peppers outran #84 and his 4.3 speed.Originally Posted by Noodle
Not a physicist, but 84 had further to travel, so even faster might not have been enough.
Peppers had a truly deep LB pass drop. He is a freak.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Good explanation.
I saw 84, and I immediately thought of Randy Moss. Moss tackles when he wants to tackle.
Watching the clip provided noodle mutiple times, it looked like Patterson did put a lot of effort in trying to chase down Pep. I am glad Pep scored.

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 wonder if Julius' speed surprised Clay there?
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.
All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!
Just think how effective zone defense would be if all linebackers were 6' 7" tall.

Peppers was a man possessed and was not going to be stopped on that return. Watching it again, he also made a nice juke on the guard, Ducasse on his way by him.
The laws of physics were bent by a surge of adrenaline!

I'm really digging me some Lattimore.
I wish they'd toss that play out the window.
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

70% of the Earth is covered by water. The rest is covered by Al Harris.
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
