Message: <blockquote data-quote="wist43" data-source="post: 547906" data-attributes="member: 9839">Peppers is 34 years old, and never played LB in his life - definitely don't want to see him wasted at LB. The occasional zone blitz? sure, but I don't want to see him trying to play in space. And even though he can certainly stack and shed the way a 3-4 end needs to - again he is 34 years old. His greatest strength is pass rush, harrassing QB's, and disrupting blocking schemes - that's what I want to see him doing. He can play DE in the 3-4 base, but I don't want to see him doing a lot of that. As for the others you listed as DE/LB - Perry has proven he is a fish out of water at LB. It's time to shelf that experiment, and use him to his strength - which is pass rushing from the DE position. D. Jones can play DE in the 3-4, and I don't mind seeing him eat up some snaps there, but I'd prefer to leave the base 3-4 DE dirty work to lesser players like Worthy, Boyd, and Jolly; and save D. Jones, Perry, and Peppers for pass rushing duties in the various subpackages. Of course Capers has misused everyone in the front seven for the past 3 years... I don't expect that to change. We've had one of the worst defenses in the league the last 3 years, and while some excuses can be made of 2011 and the loss of players due to injury and Jenkins leaving via FA, the fact remains that Capers did nothing to stem the bleeding, and I can't imagine how the results could have been any worse. Capers needs to go - best case scenario is Capers gets his head out of his *** and our defense straightens up, and we win the SB; short of that, the next best thing would be for our defense to be bad enough to get Capers fired, b/c we're not going to be able to move forward as a team as long as Capers stubbornly sticks to his flawed schemes.</blockquote>
