We'll still kill the quarterback though.

Hey at least if the ball is misthrown, Hall will snag it.

It is 3rd and 9. Orakpo is on one side, Hayneworth is in the middle and Peppers is on the other side. That can't be a comfortable feeling....

and no Rogers or Smoot. oooooh very scary indeed

...I think this would be the first hugely questionable FO move under the new regime.

Where is SS on this rumor?

Well, if they put him on the right side and Orakpo on the left, both are playing their positions from last year.

But Peppers has played off the left side considerably in his career, and Orakpo played on the right side in college, and in third down situations last year, so they could really go either way there.

Thanks for the clarification...it looks like it could work several ways. My thinking was Orakpo was best rushing from the right side, and if Peppers came in expecting to play that position we don't get the most we could from Rak.

...personally I believe Brian is better overall. His motor doesn't quit and he's very passionate. Peppers is an enormous talent but passionate is not an apt descriptive...and who knows what his mentality will be after the enormous payday. I don't like it

Yeah it can't^^ but at the same time looking at punting to an inept offense won't be that scary to said team.

Nor throwing to the shady pass defense we have seen over the past couple of years. Alot of.. getting burnt deep at times.

Not sure what's the deal with Peppers right now. I know he's not the first choice of the Skins and they're not the first choice of him. But sometimes that doesn't work out that way.

It's not that they wouldn't be happy with each other though.

As for where he'd play, my guess is that it's a case of "money is no object so let's sign him and we'll figure out where to play him" And I don't necessarily mean to say that negatively.

Do they have an inside source? Kinda weird source, unless Kyle is telling them something.

He's one of the best sources out there...but even the best are wrong sometimes.

SS, I feel you are toying with my emotions, just like you did last year with the Jason Brown rumor. LOL.
