Peppers v Other DEs

[panthers55]

Yes I am quietly praying that Irvin is the next Kris Jenkins, player wise of course. Honestly I have high hopes for all of our DEs. I think Brayton could surprise some people, he's great against the run and another year in our system at the same position(for once) should do him some good.

Wouldn't that be a steal if Irvin can come in and perform half as well as Jenkins did. As for Brayton, people don't see that he was stout against the run even getting double teamed. Had four 1/2 sacks to boot. Coupled with Johnson they added up to 10 1/2 sacks which puts them up there with most left ends in the league. Hopefully they will both improve this year and increase the pressure they generate. Hopefully Brayton worked on his upper body strength and his moves in order to improve his technique. That can be worth as much or more than strength alone.
