Some random thoughts about a unique player, stemming from an article in the GBPG:

http://www.packersnews.com/story/spo...pers/70515716/

First, his basic stats from last year:
- 901 snaps on defense, 73.9% of the teams total plays on defense
- 44 tackles
- 7 sacks
- 4 forced fumbles
- 11 pass deflections
- 2 interceptions (both returned for touchdowns)
Rock solid performance for anyone, let alone a 34 year old playing on a new team in a new scheme.

Now, looking beyond the basics:
- He dropped in pass coverage only 39 times. Maybe the change he was asked to make wasn't that great?
- He missed no practices all year. That's unusual for any player, let alone a player with as much mileage as Peppers.

Several of the Packer pundits "assured" their readers that Peppers would either be released or required to renegotiate his $12 million cap figure for 2015. They appear to have been wrong.
