What to look for tonite

After seeing the recent highlight video of practice and watching Peppers pancake him in three steps I am highly doubtful. I was going to post that link for Jason but then I figured it would fall under cruel and unusual punishment.

I'm looking at McClellin. He has to have 7+ sacks this year for this D to be successful. I hope he plays most of the game to get him up to speed on the NFL level. To go against Clady for a series or two would be good.

Only Peppers had more than 7 last year, Melton had 7. So if McClellin can get 7+, that would be huge. However, just like with Peppers, the stats don't always tell the whole story. Peppers almost affects every single passing play. So even if McClellin doesn't get 7 sacks, but gets a alot of pressures, that would be just as productive. A holding call is equal to a 10 yard sack.

Honestly though, if Peppers is on the other side, Shea and Melton are the guys who will wind up seeing single-teams. Even if Shea is performing well, as long as Peppers is in there, you double Peppers because otherwise he's going to beat you.

 

In other words...Shea ought to be able to get a lot of pressures because you can't focus on him, you have to focus on Peppers first.
