Harris on Pep...


Recommended Posts

http://ow.ly/1g279

Hey... What's goin' with my good-old Chicago Family? I thought I'd drop by, say "hi," and take a minute to share a few thoughts about my good friend, Julius Peppers.

Quite simply… Julius is one of the most dominant players in the league. He'll get double and triple-teamed, and still be able to brush everyone off him. But, even with that being true, he still tends to get a bad rap from people who say he's sometimes out there half-ass'n things, and I promise you that's not true. Sure... Julius doesn't get to the quarterback aaaaaaaaaall the time (Who does?), but that doesn't mean he's slackin'. Some fans and analysts need to understand that you shouldn't equate being a hard-worker by the number of sacks you get - that's simply not a fair way to gauge a player's efforts.

Here's the truth of the matter...

Julius is a FREAKISH talent. The reason someone might watch him play and think he's not giving it his all is because he makes playing the game of football look so damn easy. The last thing he's doing is slacking - he's just out there being the beast that he is in such a graceful way that he makes his gig look effortless. So don't confuse things - the man is definitely getting the job done. ...And with authority, might I add.

When I put in a good word for Julius as he was scouting the marketplace, I told anyone who wanted to know my opinion about him everything I just ran by you. And even though I hated that he might not be a Panther anymore, I had to be honest and say that Julius would most certainly boost the defense of whichever team brought him on. It's not everyday a player of his caliber comes along, and the Bears are going to be a better team for being the lucky ones who landed him.

Good luck next year!

He's not going to sandbag his former teammate. But yeah, Pep was a monster when he felt motivated to be a monster. Chicago will get a beast for a year or two, after that who knows.

you are right he would not sandbag a former teammate, but if he truly felt peppers wasnt giving it his all then why would he voluntarily do that write up. there is no reason for chris harris to say those things if thats not what he truly felt.

this should finally shut up all the people who say julius doesnt give 100%, but of course it wont because you all know more then chris hariis :rolleyes:

Im sorry Harris but we are the ones that get to see the whole picture. Everyone on the board has seen peppers slack off. Its good to know he is sticking up for him but I hope he has a apology speech ready when Lovie asks why the hell did you say he gave 100%.

    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important. 
    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?
