Julius Peppers: The Bears' New Beast - @ChrisHarrisNFL

Hey... What's goin' with my good-old Chicago Family? I thought I'd drop by, say "hi," and take a minute to share a few thoughts about my good friend, Julius Peppers.
Quite simply… Julius is one of the most dominant players in the league. He'll get double and triple-teamed, and still be able to brush everyone off him. But, even with that being true, he still tends to get a bad rap from people who say he's sometimes out there half-ass'n things, and I promise you that's not true. Sure... Julius doesn't get to the quarterback aaaaaaaaaall the time (Who does?), but that doesn't mean he's slackin'. Some fans and analysts need to understand that you shouldn't equate being a hard-worker by the number of sacks you get - that's simply not a fair way to gauge a player's efforts.
Here's the truth of the matter...
Julius is a FREAKISH talent. The reason someone might watch him play and think he's not giving it his all is because he makes playing the game of football look so damn easy. The last thing he's doing is slacking - he's just out there being the beast that he is in such a graceful way that he makes his gig look effortless. So don't confuse things - the man is definitely getting the job done. ...And with authority, might I add.
When I put in a good word for Julius as he was scouting the marketplace, I told anyone who wanted to know my opinion about him everything I just ran by you. And even though I hated that he might not be a Panther anymore, I had to be honest and say that Julius would most certainly boost the defense of whichever team brought him on. It's not everyday a player of his caliber comes along, and the Bears are going to be a better team for being the lucky ones who landed him.
Good luck next year!
Chris
P.S. Thanks for having me, over here on Windy City Gridiron. Letting me do this is too cool of you. Oh, and it would be cool if we could reconnect, so look me up on my Google Profile …alright? The link to it is on my Facebook page.

So Chris the most important question
what will it take to get you back in Navy and Orange?
"If I were a food critic being asked to write about the meal and experience at Waffle House, I would provide a drawing of two happy fat people giving each other a high five."
Mr. Irrelevant?
More like, Mr. We’dluvuback!
Btw, thanks for swingin’ by and thanks for any of the positive things you may have said about Chicago in regards to J. Peppers!
This is cool, thanks for stopping by
wish you would be included with Peppers

The Monsters are lickin' their chops...
You all have some special people on that D already – I hope that this addition turns you all into frothing lunatics next year – especially against Rogers and Favre.
By the way.. I'm officially an idiot..
I still think of CH as a bear, so my posts have been reflecting that. Congintive dissonance, maybe – cuz I wish he was still a bear. Go Panthers!

Class Act as Always Chris
It’s a shame we traded you back in the day. You were one of my favorite players in ‘05 and ’06. Best of luck to you in all that you’re doing!

Chris
As many Bear Fans, I was sad to see you traded, but happy to see that you have found success.
Best of luck to you in the future.
If you want to crown em...
Definitely miss you playing for us and the articles you wrote as a rookie.
Wish we could have ya back.
Miss you Chris...
now more than ever! And tell Dante I’m not mad at him for that hit in Tampa… had he timed it JUST RIGHT he woulda been considered SMART!
GO BEARS!!!!
HA HA HA...
was just watching ESPN videos about the Bears. I usually don’t like Skip Bayless, but he scoreed MAJOR brownie points with me on his comment… HERE For those that can;t watch, he calls Adrian Peterson, Adrian Pedestrian! HA HA HA!!!!
GO BEARS!!!!

Skip and Ditka
Were the only two guys on Espn that weren’t hating on Cutler and the Bears (mainly cause Skip went to Vanderbilt) but he was the ONLY one that keep talking about our sucky O-line having to do with some Jay’s mistakes and the offense sucking.
ESPN seem to root for Jay to fail (not saying that they are) it just sounded like they were before we weny up against pittsburgh, and when we beaten them they didn’t even talk about that game.
I remember in 08(I think)
we played the Lions or somebody and had a really good game, highlight worthy…i watched for the replays, and they announced them being “upcoming” like 4 times (yesi watched the show 4 times) and they never showed it… face it MSM hates us

First Kevin Payne, now Chris Harris.
I LOVE THIS BLOG!!!!
Thanks for coming by Chris and giving us a true insider perspective on JP. Like others have said I was sad to see you go, but truly happy you found success in the league. Once a Bear always a Bear. I wish you all the best of luck in the upcoming season, unless you are playing the Bears then i hope you get burnt like toast. :)
Just call me Mr. 3000.

Heard it was being talked about
but not approved CONUS as of yet. I don’t have either so i guess I’ll just continue to use WCG as my excuse not to work.
Just call me Mr. 3000.
Yes, Windy City Gridiron is kind of a big deal...

Thanks for showin some love Chris
I always thought you got a raw deal being traded to Carolina, but thats football.
You’re a class act as always, which is evident by you coming here on a Chicago Bears based forum and posting about a guy we signed from your team. I wish you were still here, you were right in the middle of your development, we could use your help in the absence of Mike Brown.
Thanks for stopping by Chris, much success to you. See ya in the playoffs.
Screw ESPN!!!!
They can ****off and keep polishing Farve’s pole! Douchbags!
I think he meant bad as in good
Well, he’s going to eat his words shortly after the season kicks off!

Thank you Mr. Harris.
It’s really cool to have actual players commenting on this blog. WCG has to be the best NFL blog anywhere.
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
I hated when we traded you...
I also hated when u stripped Olsen. Wish u were still a Midway Monster. Demand a trade NOW! Lol. Glad to hear good feedback about JP. Before we got him the media said he was the best, now they say he sucks! Go figure. Bear Down !

We traded Just Dave?

It was magnificent when I stripped Olsen.
Take that however you want….
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
But the words "Midway Monster" had an entirely different meaning.

For some reason I'm afraid and feel like I need a shower.
Just call me Mr. 3000.

You sir are a Beast!!!
I would love to see you back in navy and orange. Imo, one of the worst mistakes the Bears have made since Lovie has been HC was trading you away. I felt like that right after the fact and I feel even more strongly about that now. Thanks for coming over here and being so damn cool!! Class Act All Day Long!!
Walter Payton lives on!!!
We haven't been the same since you left.
And you left under the protest of so many of us. Get back to the Chi!

Panther fan here
You guys got a great player with Pep I look forward to seeing him eat Favre alive again! Also Chris is ours now! lol Just passing through.

I miss you Chris.
Demand a trade to the Panthers, I bet the Bears will bite! Im kidding. Your a class act and I feel like you wouldnt be a player to ever demand a trade. We do miss you though. Keep up the good work out in N.C.
We still miss you Chris...
feel free to come back to Chicago with Julius. Just make him spring for the tickets!
IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO FIRE LOVIE!
Class Act as always
On another note… PLEASE COME BACK!
Wish we still had you, Chris....
Maybe getting a feel for the fans before making the trip home? One can hope….

This is awsome
I go on a bender WCG vacation and come back to find Chris Harris. First K-Payne now CH. Wow Dane & Adam, you guys have been busy this offseason. Thanks Chris. This post gives me more confidence about the signing, but makes me miss you too. Hopefully, the Bears will be field an improved secondary this season.

Hmmm
Jango was pretty BA until he got sliced….hmm…Nah i think i’d give him up to get CH back

You may have to throw in some more Jedi and Sith to get Harris back ...... but it would be worth it !

This is a real treat
Thanks for stopping by WCG, Chris. Glad you can man-up and endorse Peppers as a real beast!
