USA Today article quoting Beason on Peppers

[Mother Grabber]

Afternoon everyone,

I saw this article in the USA Today headlines with Beason talking about how Peppers will thrive in the new Panthers D. I didn't see a posting to it on here, yet, so here it be...

i'm sure that beason has told this to peppers before. still, exactly what needed to be said from just the right person.

"I know one thing, Pep is going to have a lot more freedom to let his God-given ability and his talent that he's fine-tuned over the years, to really showcase it," Beason said. "Pep is a freak, a special type of guy."

someone needs to tell these guys that nothing is changing.

Beason, one of the few players to speak to Peppers this offseason, said he's spent the past month working out in Arizona and will stay there until the start of training camp.

Beason remains confident that Peppers will eventually return to the team that made him the second overall pick in the 2002 draft.

"I hope so. The way it's working out with the trades and all that stuff, it's getting late," Beason said. "So you can assume or hope that he is. He's said that if he is back, he's going to be ready to go."

Nice...

Your right, if I remember correctly, Harris said, "This is kind of (similar) to the scheme we ran in Chicago when I was there, so I don't have that big of a learning curve."

Harris just "misremembered" last year's playbook... (we can thank Clemens for that word)

Why? How many player, who are actually on the field saying the defense has significantly changed have to come out and say it directly will get you over this "John Fox runs the defense so it won't change" BS? I got over that one a long time ago, so we'll see, let's just see...

Mint, I think he is being sarcastic because of all the naysayers on that topic.
