Beason talks with disgruntled Peppers

[scpanther22]

mostly just the old stuff but i hope he shows up at the start of TC

So despite publicly declaring he wants to play elsewhere, his refusal so far to sign a one-year, guaranteed tender worth $16.7 million and his failure to attend one offseason workout, Peppers will show up for the start of training camp on Aug. 2?

Beason indicated Peppers hadn't committed to that.

"I'm hoping it's the first day," Beason said. "When I talked to him I said, 'Hey, if you come in, at least come in on the first day. Don't be like me.'

I honestly and fervently believe the Beast will beat Julius into the ground if Julius tries to make a spectacle of himself.

I'm sure Peppers will show up on time for Camp.

[sarcasm]But, but, we have a certified text message promising the world he'll be there day one bright and early with pen in hand to sign his paperwork![/sarcasm]

Beason, leadin' on...

Glad Beason took the initiative to reach out to Peppers and tell him how good this team can be with him.

That is a true leader.

Beason is the man!

i truly think the reason Pep hasnt been at OTAs and minicamp is because he doesnt want to deal with the press and the barrage of questions he will get thrown his way constantly..

for awhile, he held off the idiotic questions last year, like "hey, you think you can do better than 2.5 sacks this year Pep?"

but this year will be different.. i think it would be smart, like someone else said, to hold a press conference before camp or 1st week, and just get it all out there and answer as many Q's as he can.. they will still ask him throughout the camp and season, but the bulk will be dealt with in 1 day..

pep can be the robin to beastman.hell here he will get paid big money, and with the way beason is going he will be that leader on D this team been needing since ruck and minter retired. so pep gets his money without being that leader rich asked him to be.

if pep ever shows up which i think he will come TC and he get's into Meeks defensive scheme he'll never want to leave carolina cuz Meeks is great with using the front 4 to preasure the QB and use the LB'S and DB'S to swarm the ball carrier

and with brown on the opposite side of pep other teams will have fun tryin to stop both of them...and that will take some preasure off of pep

peppers there or not..we still need somebody in the DT postion to get some pressure...i saw last year that a lot of times our DE were in the backfield but the DT were geting no push.

[PANTHER PRIDE 52]

true but the DT's we got right now r run stoppers Lewis is the only 1 that can put preasure on the QB...but not enough we'll have to wait till next year to either draft a pass rushing DT or get one in free agency

I could see Brayton sliding in on passing downs with Lewis.....definitely would improve the pass rush.

we did that already..it works on 3rd downs but we need more than that.
