I am hoping they are saving up for the regular season, but if not, I am truly disapointed in what I am seeing. Seems once you get past the LB's you have it made. I am tired of watching Godfrey slide off of people.

Well to be honest Godfrey should not be looking this bad bc THE SECONDARY SHOULD NOT HAVE TO TACKLE RBs THAT MUCH!!!!!!  I mean it is ridiculous.  The boys upfront should be stopping the RBs and at the very least SLOWING THEM DOWN!!!!! I mean these RBs are getting past the LBs at darn near full speed! 

Bottom line is tackling is a big no huge problem.  Should have worked less on stripping the ball and more on wrapping up!  But I will take into consideration that they are learning a new system and all that, but I will not let Pep use that as an excuse when he is one on one with Long.  And I know he was a Pro bowler last year but so was Pep.  That article where he acts like he is not worried about it is kinda sickening. A new system has little to do with OL play in general.

I believe Peppers will have a big year this year. This is basically another contract year for him. Haynesworth didn't want to play for the Titans last year and before he got injured, he was the favorite for the Defensive player of the year award.

I believe Peppers is just being cautious right now since he doesn't want to get injured when it doesn't matter. Also you need to remember he will play against the Giants and the Dolphins and probably doesn't want to show their tackles too much. That is why I believe that during pre-season you should never play teams you play in the season because Carolina is playing vanilla on both sides of the ball, it is kinda boring to watch.
