Hitman Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Panthers | Peppers Getting Time at WR - from www.KFFL.com Tue, 14 Dec 2004 21:35:05 -0800 Panthers.com reports Carolina Panthers DL Julius Peppers is being utilized in the team's offense at wide receiver, particularly around the red zone area. "It is a way to take advantage of a guy who is an exceptional athlete," head coach John Fox said. "He's big and tall, and I think he's going to win his share of jump balls, in particular down in the tight red area. He's a guy that's got enough talent to do those kinds of things, and we've injected him into some small packages on offense." This guy is an awesome athlete. Remember he played Forward for the NC Tarheels basketball team. Makes you wonder if we'll start to see more of this type of thing. It's worked for the Pats. Why not use your best athletes and utilize their talents to the max? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilthorp Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 I only saw it once last week, although it may have happened more than that. They lined Muhammad wide right and Peppers wide left and it was 3rd and goal from the 3 towards the end of the first half. Peppers was a decoy and they tried a fade to Muhammad. He sure looked pretty imposing out there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked up some info on him because I remembered the announcers talking about his leaping ability on one of the passes & I remembered him having a pretty good vertical when coming out of college and I found this... Peppers is a frightening combination of speed and power. He bench-presses 425 pounds, runs the 40-yard dash in 4.5 seconds and has a 37.5 inch vertical leap. He was a key performer on the North Carolina basketball team for two seasons and helped the Tar Heels to the Final Four in 2000. Playing as the sixth man, Peppers had 21 points and 10 rebounds in an NCAA tournament game against Penn State last season. Pretty awesome indeed...

WaterMan Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Peppers is the man. He's must better than these 1 dimensional hyped up guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAUgrad Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 He is a monster pure and simple. I watched him play a little out here in the Triangle area. The funniest thing to watch was when he would set a pick and the other player didn't see it coming. LOOK OUT!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
