Peppers Play This Year?
At this point it's hard to get excited for the final games of the year. There is only one thing that I want to see - Peppers play before year end. Let's face it, he's not going to be in college for 5 years. Now is the time. Can he come back from his injury?

I don't want to see him get "Lionized" by the current dumpster fire at the Big House.

Rumor is he has bone chip (s) in his knee which is painful when it's in the right spot and takes surgery to fix.
October 26th, 2014 at 8:18 PM ^
If the rumors are true he should get surgery now.
October 26th, 2014 at 8:33 PM ^
October 26th, 2014 at 8:36 PM ^
Even better!
October 26th, 2014 at 9:25 PM ^
Sure it will. Just like Denard's elbow.

you can't necessarily just do surgery on something b/c a fan thinks it's the right thing. Can't do surgery on a kid if his knee is still swollen...just not how it works. I get you're pissed about our record, as am I. However, that doesn't mean you jeopordize a kids career by pushing a surgery.

If true, it seems very Michigan for them to wait for it heal on it's own, find out during Spring practice that it's not progressing as much as they'd hope, elect to get surgery after Spring practice and have Peppers miss all of Winter, Spring and Summer workouts.

We don't talk about injuries at MICH.

Unless forced to or if it furthers the AD's cause.
October 26th, 2014 at 8:11 PM ^
Honestly, I don't get it. The kid has an injury that makes him unlikely to play effectively, if at all. And you want him to burn a potential redshirt for your entertainment? All because you think he's going to be such a star he won't even be here for five years anyway?
Pass the jug.

I want him to do what's best for himself. Either he can come back and play or he can't. If he needs surgery then do it so he can be healthy as soon as possible. No need for the constant limbo.
October 26th, 2014 at 8:18 PM ^
If Peppers possibly needs surgery to fix a problem, why in the blue hell are they waiting? I mean this whole we dont talk about injuries is really that important to them?
I really want to believe the arrogance isn't that high....
October 26th, 2014 at 8:25 PM ^
Blue hell - now thats an appropriate phrase!

no maize
JUST BLUE

Let's not get carried away.
October 26th, 2014 at 8:52 PM ^
We know that Hoke has said he will disclose any injuries that are definitely season ending...and he has done so with Khalid Hill and Derrick Green. It is logical to conclude that there is a chance Peppers may be able to come back this year.

There's no point to risking an aggravation in The Year Without Michigan Football.

What a nice thought.
October 26th, 2014 at 8:33 PM ^
at his disposal. i think hes waiting out the pain to see if he can play. an injury like this cant be made any worse by playing through it. plus the recovery time for surgery should have him ready for spring ball, but if he had surgery now he would for sure miss the remaining games
October 26th, 2014 at 8:35 PM ^
but it's not unthinkable that, given our level of suckitude, he won't be showcased well enough to merit leaving early.

Just look at Countess - he got a medical redshirt in 2012 immediately after that year. He played in the Alabama game that year which would make him ineligible for a traditional redshirt.

Just strange things with Peppers. Is his injury severe? I know we don't talk about injuries but this has seemed unusual. The he was getting treatment during 1 game instead of on the sidelines with his teammates? That didn't pass the smell test, he couldn't get treatment any other time of the week? There were rumors of problems, hope thy aren't true.
Seriously, if Peppers transferred we would all lose our collective minds.

and you are right about AB 2-0. I had visions of Him Being The MAN, in the DB-5 set against Spread-Os. Or even DB-6 sets these days. With GMatt using various DB-FireSchemes by which to Attack The Spread-Os.
Now-- he WAS being looked-played at CB, rather than a formal DB-5. But thats OK-- you defer to the coaches.
IF, he can play this year he should give it a go. And start working-playing along the above lines. But this is Absolutley TERRIBLE.
Would not help the-O though. Which is Ironic-- you might have the same Team Record, even with Peppers Playing FULL-Time.

one word-- Peppers. Fundamentally-- a kind-of Do-Over for 2015
with Peppers Healthy-- in Full-Form. Running-Tackling. For ALL 11-games Plus
ah yes-- The Dreams . . .
