Whatever happened to Peppers red zone plays

now this is a reasonable question.

and the reason for that is most likely to ensure peppers is safe and used smart. trick plays could lead him to get unnecessary hits at his age. him as our primary monster pass rusher is fine enough. 

Are you that retarded to entertain an obvious troll? 

 

Or just trying too hard to be creative and witty?

the marc james is fine. never commented on that.

the bradberry one is far too random and obscure. at least keep some of your posts relevant and reasonable. bradberry on offense is a dumb idea no matter how you push it. 

keep things reasonable, relevant, and smart around here and you'll be okay around here.

In JP's first stint in Charlotte, we used to use him all the time as a tight end in the red zone. I don't know if he ever caught a pass, but he made for a wonderful decoy.

Why hasn't Ron tried that since he returned?

I don't think this should even be considered unless we're leading Atlanta 28-3 in the 4th quarter or something. Doesn't seem in our interests at all in my opinion.

Pep was never used as a TE. They split him out a receiver a couple of times and threw a fade or two but that's it.

that's pretty much how i remember it. it couldn't be any more than 2 or 3 times that ever happened here and once while he was a packer.

it was a gimmick that never worked.

how is it reasonable? it had 0% success rate and we have capable big body receivers.

Considering, for the Panthers, Peppers has played under 2 totally different coaching staffs and one had him as a 22 year old rookie and the other gets him as a 37 year old 15 season veteran and 2 totally different quarterbacks and 2 totally different receiving groups, one that had 1 player over 6 feet tall and this current one which has about all of them over 6 feet 1, I have no idea why they don't do some of terrific ideas people come up with on this board.  They are some of the greatest ideas I have ever heard.  (Sarcasm implied.  And a hell of a lot of it)

Well, the pretty simple answer to this is that that play only happened under John Fox.

Rivera hasn't coached Peppers till this year so he hasn't seen it called before. Whether or not Shula would give any thought to this is a good question.

(Chudzinski would have in a heartbeat)

Would Peppers still want to do that? It's not like it ever really worked except to draw a penalty.

    • Something I find interesting is that you are more likely to find successful players as UDFA's than you are to find them with a single pick in any round past 3.  Those 3rd round compensatory choices?  Largely worthless.  Yes, I get it, there are a lot more UDFA's than there are drafted players in later rounds.  Basically, if you're fishing for starters you are simply not going to find anything in Rounds 4 - 7 with any regularity.
    • the argument that Dan Morgan was assistant GM for years while running counter to everything both his bosses signed off on (who look down at him and his staff for info).....is a tough sell.  I feel we do a variant of this every year.  You aren't this bad...becuase of 1 person.  You are this bad because of LOTS of bad people.  It was never just Joe Brady.  Which is why firing him didn't lead to better offense.  It was never just Matt Rhule.  It was never just Fitterer.    As bad as we are, we need to scorch Earth this puppy and quit letting people who were part of making the mess be the designed folks to lead us out of the mess.  when David Tepper and Jim Caldwell found the answer on the roster......it was clear from the jump nothing had really changed.   
    • "Buckaroo." That's good. 🤣👍 Mature beyond his years, clearly. Brian Burns was a far more justifiable asset to trade for a good return during the 2022 season, than DJ Moore (who was shipped out the following spring). Do you disagree? Let me know. I'd have traded Burns before McCaffrey, and I wouldn't have traded Moore at all. It's possible, despite what Morgan and Fitterer display, to turn down a bad offer. Thirty-one other teams are aware of this. That brings me to Johnson: if your "leverage" is "he wasn't gonna re-sign," you have no leverage; which, as you said, means you shouldn't make a trade, right? Do you disagree? If so, quickly adjust your prior stance. Giving up No. 1 in 6 and a standout WR, even if he's petulant, for No. 30-32 in 5 = demonstrably stupid. Keep the comp pick if he re-signs, or see if he can be convinced to stay with a new non-Shedeur QB.
