This is my detailed film review of Peppers vs. the Patriots from last season, a game New England won 20-10 at home.
My analysis is primarily based upon how the Patriots chose to block Peppers and how effectively that blocking worked or didn't work. Since I had the entire slate of Panther games to choose from, I chose this one owing to the fact that we play them this year and that I thought it was a good measure of comparison w/ which to work from.
The study is broken down into the following
compartments (you can ascertain for yourself what kind of game Peppers had):
-double-teamed on passing plays=7
-Played the pass vs. the run=2
-successfully blocked out of the running play=11
-sacks=0
-pressures=4
-doubled on rushing plays=1
-tackles=0
-assists=0
Notes-
1) Peppers was handled one-on-one very well on the RIGHT side about 65% of the passing plays by Matt Light (#72);
2) Peppers was very ineffective on rushing plays;
3) a lack of effort was noted on several plays;
4) Patriots doubled Peppers much more earlier in the game before going to one-on-one blocking in the second half;
5) Peppers played primarily on the right side, particularly in the second half;
6) When Peppers did line up on the left side he was more often doubled rather than not;
7) When the play goes away from Peppers, he does not make much of an effort to pursue in many instances;
8) It was amazing how easily he was blocked out of running plays;
9) Peppers did fight off a nasty double team and a chip on the left side to chase Brady down to lay a wicked lick on him late in the game. Very impressive closing speed and very nearly a sack; again, Patriots only double-teaming Peppers when he lines up on the left side;
10) Patriots threw A LOT of quick-hitters and utilized a lot of three-step drops;
11) On one passing play Peppers lined up in the nose-guard spot;
12) In several spots Peppers had chances to assist in tackles and chose not to;
