DEFENSE: DE JULIUS PEPPERS, CAROLINA PANTHERS

Peppers was a defensive force in October, accumulating 32 tackles, 4.0 sacks, 12 quarterback hurries, three forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and two passes defensed as the Panthers went 3-2. The athletic defensive end recorded a sack in each of the first three games of the month to extend his season streak to five games, tied for the longest in his career. In the team's first October contest, Peppers recorded a sack, forced a fumble and batted down a pass in a win against New Orleans. A week later in a victory over Cleveland, the former North Carolina star was all over the field, registering seven tackles, seven quarterback hurries, one pass defensed and recording a sack, forcing a fumble and recovering the loose ball on the same play. At Baltimore on Oct. 15, Peppers had 2.0 sacks, nine tackles, two quarterback hurries and a forced fumble. It marked the 11th time in his career and second time in 2006 that Peppers recorded at least 2.0 sacks in a game. This season, Peppers ranks third in the NFL with 8.0 sacks.

In his fifth season from North Carolina, this is Peppers' second Player of the Month Award (November 2004).

 

wow...best defensive player in the whole state

 

Mike Minter was named the oldest safety in NC.

 

Geez who would have thunk it :gopanthers:

 

yeah, i know. can't type tonight. tried to edit it...guess that doesn't work.

 

fixed it for you

 

Peppers was on the way to a TD until some coach called a timeout..

 

oh holy shit, i had blocked that out of my mind.

 

Just curious because i couldn't bring myself to watch much of the replay. but did the dallas line stop when the whistle was blown, thus allowing marshall through the line pretty much untouched?

oh, and thanks mags.

 

Nope, didn't look like it to me. I think it was a legit block. Which sucks even more.
