#25: ATH, Jabrill Peppers

[Lee]

Yeah, I did not mean he would be bad in coverage. He is good, and probably will continue to be so, but he will never be best used as a cover safety. It is not like he cannot play in the coverage role when he has to, it is just not his primary talent.

Peppers is allowing 12.1 cover snaps per target and 18.2 per reception. QBs are averaging a 121.5 QB rating throwing against him. Much of his coverage grade is because he does not get targeted too frequently and his yards/reception are 8.7. I.E., QBs are not throwing at him, and when they do, he tackles super quickly, but QBs generally complete the pass.

Peppers is really good. It was a good pick. But coverage is not his best attribute. He is not bad at it, just not a superstar.

I am guessing Peppers makes atleast one probowl at some time in his career, with the way the probowl is now with the SB teams not participating and lots of players not going because nagging injuries, he will get in.

My big question with Peppers, could he move down to play some linebacker to not lose much against the run, but better matchup with TE's and backs out of the backfield. I think Peppers could be a real weapon when used like that.

And please stop using him as a return guy. He did have one good return, but turns out he really isn't that great at returning at the NFL level.

This hurts Peppers chances, not helps

If someone like Donte Whitner can sneak into a Pro Bowl, I do think Peppers may make it to 1 or 2 based on his tackling ability. He is going to put up some tackle numbers in his career, for sure.

Fair point!

Gotta wonder if the performance tonight satisfied the poster who most likely never played a down past high-school.

That's my dawg right there. Great game, Jabrill!

Seems kind of fitting that Peppers is the one to seal the 6th win to get Mr. Orange to lose the bet with dagg

Peppers claps back

Chickety China the Chinese @Mr Orange chicken.

Ya know. Peppers, if he can keep this up for at least 12 years, might embed himself as part of NFL lore. If he can overcome the entitlement issuesz

 

[Amherstcavsfan]

Goddamn what a game. 2 HUGE sacks and a pick. HUGE

 

[Vee-Rex]

Probably Jabrill's best game in the NFL. He was a hawk the entire game. Tremendous effort!

I don't post often but I have seen a poster hate real hard on Jabrill. I think it was Orange-something? He seems really obsessed with Peppers, anyone know why?

Early candidate for DPOW.

6 tackles, 2 TFL, 1 sack, 1 PBU, INT

Great game from Jarbill.

Fair is fair. I'll let you know when I get around to it. Obviously no time constraints were on WHEN I had to do that, but I'll eventually get to it and let you know. Good luck next season.

Edit: What song is it? Was it Barenaked ladies?

 

[Mr. Orange]

BTW, this was Jabrils best game as a Brown, sans one bad kickoff return when he should have taken a touchback. We just have to accept he is a mediocre return man. Happy he has become a solid player on D. Testament to his hard work, as he has come a LONG way from last year. Sometimes you need coaches and fans to light a fire. Good job Jabril.

 

[Jordan]

That was by far his best game as an NFL player. Denver had no answer throughout the entire game.

Hopefully Ward comes back next week and we get to see a healthy secondary under Gregg.
