I don't think some people understand the way the 3-4 works
lol

Yeah, I guess he thought Peppers would be a 3-4 end.... I don't think it matters anyhow, as Seattle will probably spend entirely too much to land him.

Well I dunno, anyone you draft is going to be the same thing...we just watched a bunch of guys play standing up that never had before, hell Dumervil did it and had a career year.

BryanBusby · 02-01-2010, 02:11 AM

Outside of standing up before the snap, there wouldn't be much of a difference for Peppers. The Panthers dropped him into coverage quite a bit and he actually did well.

salame · 02-01-2010, 02:13 AM

The thing people don't seem to get is that by drafting a college DE and paying them a shit ton of money you are still taking a risk.
But the most important thing to remember is that there is probably a 5% chance he comes here anyway. He will want to go to San Diego, Miami, Dallas somewhere with an ok team or a chance to get paid well. He says he wants to play standing up but he will play in a pink tutu with a dog mask for a helmet, and change his name to Hot Peppers if you pay him enough money.

Peppers has stated he wants to play in a 3-4. I just didn't know that he wanted to shift to linebacker. I think he would be a great rush backer. If that's the case, get his ass in here. He's got 5 years left. Pay the man.

Mecca · 02-01-2010, 02:15 AM

He'd be wasted as an end in a 3-4, you really think he'd want to just tie up blockers?

Also teams like Dallas and San Diego can't sign him if there's no cap unless they clear the money, remember how that rule works.

If Miami lets porter walk he will be a dolphin faster than you can say tuna

Doubt it, Washington is the team that is going to take advantage of a no cap year.

If they switch to 3-4 I won't be at all surprised if they go throwing money at Peppers and Seymour and start cutting a ton of the bad contracts they have.

This is basically their chance to start over.

It makes sense for them, they always have the money to use, now they can do it with no fear of a cap, the underperforming highly paid guys can be released.

Shanahan really picked the perfect time to take that job, he can mold that team in whatever way he wants with all the cash he needs.

Cutting Portis should free up some money

POND_OF_RED · 02-01-2010, 02:34 AM

I'd much rather take a guy like Sergio Kindle or Jerry Hughes in the draft. A lot cheaper and you can get about 10 more years out of them. I just don't like overpaying for players over 30 when were still a ways from being a true competitor.

Mecca · 02-01-2010, 02:35 AM

Who says Kindle and Hughes won't be scrubs?

And the Chiefs have no chance at getting Kindle unless you want to pick him 5th.
