It was really a stupid call I thought. If you are going to run a slant throw it to a real receiver. The ball hit him in the chest.

I know this dead horse has been beaten to a pile of flesh and hair and pulverized internal organs. But expecting Peterson to catch a Rodgers fast ball is like playing an athletic offensive lineman at linebacker. It's insulting to the receiving craft to think you can just do it skillfully in game situations without lots of practice.

And yet there was a whole group here who thought it would be cool to have Peppers at TE after his interception return for a TD a few weeks ago.

+1, my thoughts as well. Not the fastball. I'll watch again, but I bet you can see his eyes go wide as he realizes how fast that thing is moving!

From the mouths of the participants:

"We ran the slant, and he threw a fastball," Peppers said. "It was a little hot, so I couldn't get my hands up in time to snag it."

"It was a little harder than maybe he was expecting," Rodgers said of his pass. "Yeah, he ran a good route and got his chest on it. Pep's a talented guy. We've ran that play at practice a number of times and he's come down with it. That one was probably faster than he was used to."

From the mouths of the participants:

Ya, that about makes sense. First time they did that one under the lights, and everyone got a little excited.

Does AR throw harder/faster in games? Evidently they have been practicing having Pep in this situation since TC.
