Peppers would be a terrible OLB

we've put him in man coverage on TE's and wr's before, heck we did it a few times this season. He covered Gates a few times in the SD game and gates didn't get a catch with pep on him

Gates really wasn't a factor in that game though, so you could credit the whole defense in that aspect.

Dropping him back in coverage, and him playing the OLB position are 2 completely different things.

The main reason Gates or whoever else didn't catch a pass against him was the QB didn't even look that way, or saw Peppers and decided not to throw it.

Plenty of times when Peppers was in coverage the receiver was open, and the QB did actually throw it and it was completed for a 1st down or more.

I think he wants to go to a 3-4 and be used in a ware/ harrison type of roll. I think thats the main reason he wants out is so he can be the sack guy in the 3-4 setup.

He better be a fast learner cause playing in a small zone is one thing but for Pep to cover a guy man to man is something I cant wait to see this year. If he knows whats best he better say in a 4-3.

Playing OLB in the 3-4 does not mean you have to cover receivers. While Ware has done it before, his primary job is to rush the passer. That is the role it seems Peppers covets. Not covering wideouts, for crying out loud.

He's not going to be rushing every single time, he would have to drop into coverage more often than he does here.

Then that would just make him a 4-3 DE. :rofl:

How many times do you remember seeing Kevin Greene cover receivers when he played OLB for the Panthers? He set records for sacks as an OLB and terrorized QBs. An outside LB is a lot different in a 3 4 than it is in a 4 3. Peppers would be a beast! Too bad it will be for another team!

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Okay, so answer this one then, since you said you can't answer something you don't think will happen...... You have said numerous times in the past that even though you want them, you don't think Deion will allow us to take his son or Hunter. You then taking Ward #1 over T-Mac just because he's the QB?

      Thanks for that sounds very interesting.   I have a scientific mind usually and don’t believe in wide spread conspiracy theories but with the NBA it’s so obvious.  The fuggin rigged draft is something only an idiot wouldn’t see.  But the NBA is 100% about big market money.  It’s not even a real league.  It’s 10 teams that have a shot.

      This response is absolutely and utterly insane, I've literally this same thing out multiple times in previous posts about mock drafts, like a bunch of times. I've never once denied it's a possibility of them going #1, I've just said that I wouldn't take them there. And YET AGAIN, you're proving that you don't believe they are elite QB prospects, you literally just said "first prospects off the board REGARDLESS OF TALENT" It's literally what I've been saying this whole time, these QB's don't have the draft grades to deserve that pick.  They're only being mocked there because mocks are trying to predict the draft, not saying who deserves to be drafted where.   Dude, this is exactly why I question your reading comprehension skills.  You keep trying to say you got me with something, but in those exact posts you're just proving my points, the literal opposite of catching me in some lie or moment of ignorance.
