I just hope we do our homework on this guy. It's one thing when a scout say stuff, but when your former teammates question your desire then that really would make me run from this guy.

Be fun to watch Peppers and AH competing to get off the field first after they get "winded".

I really hope we don't make this move, it would be just like 2000 again. Peppers will play the role of Bruce Smith.

I don't think we'll get peppers though, so I'm not sweating it

Schneed10 · 03-01-2010, 10:25 AM

According to Brentson Buckner, Peppers' teammate along the line for a few years there, Peppers just doesn't care about football all that much. That's why you see the flashes one game and the disappearance the next. Definitely makes me nervous.

But as long as this move doesn't preclude us from making other moves, then whatever. He just shouldn't be expected to make a major difference, that's all.

Another question though, where would this leave Andre Carter? Dude had 12 sacks last year. I can't see him playing as a down lineman in a 3-4, he needs to stay on the edge with the OLBs.

It leaves AC to be traded for picks I suppose.

Peppers is 30. No thanks. I'd love to see us get a McClain or Spikes falling to us in the 2nd then run an Orakpo Fletcher mcclain/spikes McIntosh type LB core. I like the 3-4 defense, but I think it's going to be a terrible experiment. AH at NT? Really? He's a DE in the 3-4.

Yeah, good questions Schneed. I think Carter benefited more from AH than any other player. He got singled all season long and took advantage of it. Carter has tried that 3-4 OLB thing in SF. Didn't work out so hot.

Another over the hill player wanting to get paid....no.

Signing Peppers = Bad Idea

Switch to 3-4 = Bad Idea

Haynesworth at NT = Bad Idea

Orakpo at LB = Bad Idea

Why do we keep trying to put square pegs into round holes?

It's the Redskin Way? Apparently their "fans" too?

Orakpo did pretty well as a LB. Sure he was beat a few times in coverage but who doesn't get burned by guys like Witten? If we are able to broaden his skillset as a young player, it will just help the team down the road.

He may have motivational issues but he isn't close to being over the hill.

BigHairedAristocrat · 03-01-2010, 10:53 AM

I agree with all of those, except Orakpo. He'd be an absolute beast as a 3-4 LB.
