Shhhh...My uncle is an NFL Draft insider, he says Jabrill is good but has stuff to work on, would be a 5th rounder but if he was to return for another year at UM he would likely be the #1 pick..Spread the word

Peppers shouldn't even be considering the NFL until we beat MSU and OSU

I mean, sadder than the end of Old Yeller, if you took away the puppies.

Sometimes a post makes you facepalm so bad, you got to register to post on it.

Doesn't have quiet games. Dude rules the field. And with a smile.
GO BLUE!

IMO I'd rank those in my lifetime as such:
1. Woodson
...
...
2. Peppers
3. Desmond
I've got a soft spot in my heart for Tyrone Wheatley and what he could have done if healthy. Obviously we had a lot of other great QBs, WRs, and Steven Breaston's special teams in there as well. But, Woodson was just a cut above them all. It was unreal. If you didn't live through it, maybe it's hard to grasp just how dominant he was...and always making big plays.
September 27th, 2016 at 4:52 PM ^
What's an interesting question to me is, how would Woodson be utilized in today's type of college defense that faces primarily spread offenses? Vs a pro-style offense in the mid-90's he could literally shutdown half the field because teams typically only used 2 WR's a lot of the time, now it's 3-6 guys going out for a pass all the time, would he have such a huge impact on the field when teams can now isolate and scheme around such impact players much better? Would he be used in a role similar to how Peppers is now? I think he pretty much was when he played for GB and was outstanding, but again, college offenses tend to be more innovative and spread than NFL.

it depends on who the coach is. Having a Corner that can shadow the best receiver on the field and take him out of the game is still valuable, but he also could have played a nickel bandit role that's becoming increasingly important in the era of spread offenses.
September 27th, 2016 at 5:10 PM ^
Anthony Carter was that player when I was at Michigan.
September 27th, 2016 at 5:54 PM ^
1. Woodson
....
2. Peppers
3. AC
4. Desmond
5. Wheatley

I wouldn't say Woodson was a cut above Desmond Howard. I think that's the recency effect. They are peers in the pantheon of greats.
Desmond not only won the Heisman but his margin was one of the largest in history. He actually was a better punt returner than Woodson, who really only had one long return (though it was hugely important). He scored 23 TDs in 11 regular-season games as a WR/PR/KR, and this wasn't exactly in an Air Raid offense. People are selling him short in this thread. I'd put him right up there with Woodson.
As for Jabrill, he's awesome but I'm not quite ready to put him in their class, though I may if he keeps doing what he's done these four games.

I'm not sure if you noticed, but the ACC is pretty damn good. Clemson, Louisville and Florida State are all very good teams. Miami and UNC arent too shaby and Narduzzi is doing good things at Pitt. This aint the ACC of 5 years ago.

I find myself comparing Peppers to Denard a lot. Not because I think Denard and Peppers are similar in talent, but Denard more recently than Woodson had the ability to make you hold your breath.
When Denard took off running you just kind of inhaled and waited for something awesome to happen before exhaling. Peppers does the same thing only his success rate seems higher.

Sorry if that doesn't jibe with your memories but I always thought he was overrated by our younger fans.

This was a pretty quiet game for him, in other words. He only performed the duties of a solid safety and blitzing linebacker while also ripping a big punt return.
You know, I like that this is the definition of a quiet game for Jabrill Peppers. It makes you all the more mesmerized at the active ones.

Look the talent is obvious. If healthy he'll blow up this year. Harbaugh will get him involved more in the offense when needed - starting this week.
