Foxborough, Mass.
The teammates and the support staff reprimanded peppers jokingly to take the shower because the buses left the stadium soon, but the peppers were always dizzy.
Not only did his new team beat the team that surprisingly cut the security camp after the training camp, but Peppers also helped to eliminate a ball in Ballo holder Antonio Gibson and jumped on the third trimester, forcing the third escaped steelers to recover a day of five advantages.
“I’m going to bask,” Péppers shouted to the few players who are unleashed, packs suitcases and shooting their shirts.
Less than a month ago, the Patriots told Peppers, a former team captain and an eight -year -old veteran, they no longer needed his services. On Sunday afternoon, they showed them what they missed in a match in which he recorded the escaped recovery, six plated and one thing.
“I needed this one,” said Peppers after the match with a big smile. “Each man and coach here had an excellent work week, excellent preparation. It feels good right now.”
On Saturday, Peppers spent the night before the match by imagining a celebration of the goal area after having made a big game. This vision materialized less than 24 hours later when he caught the loose and flanked ball of his teammates, sprinted on the big letter of blocks “in the police of the Patriots of Painted Return in the Goals.
Standing in front of the noisy fans in the aftermath of the field, Peppers made sure to let them know what they were missing.
“As a year old players, when you play old teams, that’s what you want,” said quarter-Arrière Aaron Rodgers, who had his own revenge match during a week 1 victory at the Metlife Stadium against the New York Jets. “You want to make a big game and make them think about what they have lost. Each week, there is a guy who probably faces his old team, and you would like to have the ball or make him play, but he was really happy in the locker room.”
Subsequently, Peppers obtained a match ball from the Steelers coach, Mike Tomlin, who is used to distributing “game balls” to players who obtain victories against their old teams. The winger brought Jonnu Smith and the defensive player Daniel Ekuale closer closed were also one of the former patriots who became thieves to get a game ball this week.
“We are still talking about obtaining the little ball,” said defensive line player Cam Heyward. “… But I think that when we have these guys who played elsewhere and who welcomed the Steelers, it’s really special for us to get the W for them.”
Returning to the Gillette Stadium was emotional for Peppers, who joined forces with the security and the stadium support staff while he was heading for the field for heating. But he compartmentalizes his feelings towards his former employers when he made his first departure for the Steelers. A week after playing only special teams during his beginnings, Peppers not only started for a defense of the Steelers struck on Sunday, but he played 60% of the defensive shots. The steelers also moved the peppers a little, using it in the basic and nickel plans because its versatility has completed the rest of the multiform secondary of the Steelers.
“I just had to keep my bulls — in check,” said Peppers about his mentality, “don’t leave the moment too big, that the pieces come to you.
With the Steelers Secondary, several players, including the safety of Huhon Elliott and the Joey Porter Jr. corner half, the contributions of the peppers are particularly important. The Steelers signed it following the knee injury of Elliott, and although Elliott is not projected in the long term, it is sidelined for any time is a great absence for a defense of racing already criticized.
Peppers finally took the shower and went out on the Steelers buses while he rushed into the glow of his return, but the defense of the Steelers cannot afford to lounge this week’s victory for a long time. Despite the fact of forcing five points to remember and ending the match on a turnover on Downs thanks to a tackle for the loss of the Cornerback Brandin Echols, the defense has always abandoned 369 yards and allowed the patriots to do 4 out of 5 during the fourth conversions. The Patriots also owned the ball of almost six more minutes more than the Steelers when they suffered readers with explosive games in third drop, three of which are in third and long.
“I am still upset,” said second Patrick Queen about his mood after victory. “I just like perfection, and I know I could have had games there. … I’m not going to be perfect, but I’m trying to do this, and any little thing will piss me off.
“Some people could say that we have played well. I have the impression that this is another step that you could take. I have the impression that it is a total level in which we could take it. Just a little, a little, a little better. Not much. I have the impression that if we click on all the cylinders, this team does not mark.”
Forcing five points to remember is perhaps not an achievable strategy every week, but the turnover in a timely manner sealed the victory and offered a plan to put the unit on the right track after a terrible start to the season of two weeks, and the Vikings of Minnesota (2-1) the next week 4.
“We have another notch, and I’m not the type to cover anything,” said Queen. “I think it’s the truth. So we have to go there. We have done better today. I think it’s like I said, another level. So we’re going to go there to practice this week, go better in these things and come back to fire.”
