November 3, 201015 yr comment_84667 I'd bring him back if he'll sign for the vet minimum. Idonije's playing too well to give up the starting spot, but he and Pep have to get a breather sometimes, and I'd rather have Wale coming off the bench than Barry Turner. Report
November 3, 201015 yr comment_84669 anyone see Mark Anderson get a sack for Houston? he looked like he had his speed back. wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Report
November 3, 201015 yr comment_84682 anyone see Mark Anderson get a sack for Houston? he looked like he had his speed back. wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I saw that. He put a nice dip-your-shoulder move on the tackle and got to the QB in 3 seconds. I thought wtf!!!! as well. Guess you become less complacent when you know every game could be your last. Report
November 3, 201015 yr comment_84687 Guess you become less complacent when you know every game could be your last. How he hasn't figured that out over the last 3-4 years... Report
November 4, 201015 yr comment_84688 Eh, the problem with Anderson was never his speed. It was always that he didn't have anything other than that outside speed rush. If he starts pulling some Dwight Freeney spin moves in Houston, THEN I'll be pissed. Report

Guess you become less complacent when you know every game could be your last. That's possible...or it could be that the defensive coaching and scheme provide the complacency. How many sacks does Peppers have again? <_> Report

How many sacks does Peppers have again? <_> How many sacks does Izzy have? But I do agree that the staff breeds complacency, which is why it was refreshing to see the accountability happen to some folks this year. Now, if we can just Martz we will be all set. Report
November 6, 201015 yr comment_84702 That's possible...or it could be that the defensive coaching and scheme provide the complacency. How many sacks does Peppers have again? <_> I don't disagree, necessarily, but sacks are a terrible measure of production for a defensive lineman. Peppers has been incredibly disruptive in all but one game, and he's demanded changes in the blocking scheme in every game. I mean, if you need more evidence that sacks are a fluky stat, here's Tommie Harris before his knee injury: 2004 - 3.5 sacks 2005 - 3 sacks 2006 - 5 sacks ...and immediately after 2007 - 8 sacks 2008 - 5 sacks He went from averaging 3.8 sacks a year pre-injury to averaging 6.5 after, but anybody who watched him play could tell you that he wasn't nearly as effective and didn't throw offenses off like he did before. I'll be a little surprised if Peppers ends the year with less than 7-8 sacks, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if he plays effectively for the whole season and doesn't break into the double digits. They didn't sign him to pile up individual stats, they signed him to make the front 4 disruptive again, and he's done that so far. Report
