WTH Peprah

San Diego Pack,

He doesn't have the physical ability or the mental makeup that a safety needs to have. He's a backup, yup, but Collins was the anti-Peprah and we've lost a lot with his injury. Him+Jenkins, ouch.

I don't he lacks the ability, he at least has mediocre speed if not average. The problem with Peprah is that he's been playing the position like an idiot, he bites like crazy on run fakes and he keeps sacrificing the deep routes when he thinks he be able to jump a cross deep slant or post. Were he disciplined and assignment sure our defense would perform at a much higher level, unfortunately he's too busy screwing around on the field.

Woodson always looks like garbage in cold weather.

I agree, last season he did what they needed him to do, be assignment sure, and he played within his limits, this season has been just the opposite, it is hard to play good team defense when players get out of position constantly. 

To get back on topic on what Peprah said, I remember during Brett Favre's heyday, he made the comment that he didn't mind throwing interceptions because he knew his defense would just make a stop or get a turnover and get the ball back to him.

These statements are quite similar if you flip/flop the offense and defense.  However, Favre played at a much higher level than Charlie Peprah ever has, or likely will.  On the other hand, this year's Packers are 12-0 and on a pace to win more games in a single season than Brett ever did (13).

I don't remember too much being made out of Brett's statements back then, but then again, there weren't multiple message boards with thousands of Packers fans talking to each other either.  But should have he received the same scrutiny as Charlie is, or should he get a free pass because he was a superstar?

I may or may not be in the minority here, but I am beginning to become very irritated with Charlie Peprah"We might do a lot of B.S.-ing during the game, not focusing, not doing what we need to do," said safety Charlie Peprah.

But our safety play has been attrocious and I think Mr. Peprah could use an attitude check

I'd be willing to get a few less INTs if it means we tackle well, break up passes, and act like a professional defense. Stopping the other team is the goal, not letting them run all over you while hoping they make a mistake. Our defense is NOT the reason for our success this year, yet they're acting like they don't need to improve because they're undefeated. I love a lot of our defensive talent, but they're not acting right. They need a wakeup call,

Peprah's attitude about the whole thing is bothersome, he should be totally embarassed about that Beckum touchdown instead of running his mouth. There is a reason his position was named "safety", its the last line of defense.  I'd like to be a fly on the wall in the film room when the defensive backs get together.  Sometimes those guys are running around like chickens with their heads cut off back there.

Woodson could take over Peprah's spot as could Bush. He's been a disaster at the position and he's been giving up plays that even a backup shouldn't be giving up. 

LOL. Don't know what games you're watching. There are some very articulate posts in this thread that suggest why Peprah wasn't exposed last year. But he is absolutely horrible in 2011. As I said in another thread, it seems like every play by opposing offenses comes because of Peprah, a safety getting flat burned, caught running in circles as if he's never played football in his life, or getting run over.

Even Capers said he's frustrated at seeing the same plays called and those plays being big hitters week after week. THAT tells me Peprah is not improving. Or adjusting.

And this all before he had his worse game of the year in the playoffs.  Goodbye Charlie, saves 1.1 million in cap space and Moe Howard can play better defense. 
  

  

Love looking back at some of the other posts and how people defended the defense just because we were undefeated..lol! and some actually said peprah was an above average safety! LOL! anybody that knows football knew having a guy like peprah back there was a ticking time bomb..how many pathetic plays did he make in that giant playoff game..i know of at least three. Next year hope we get collins back,replace Hawk with D.J smith,and with the first two picks in the draft get a olb and a DE. And this is the year Ted better sign a free agent or two.
