    Pepper Johnson excited about getting out of Belichick’s shadow



    “My legs are still shaking a little bit,” Johnson said. “But I’m excited, I’m so excited. I have always been a fan of Doug [Marrone] and the Buffalo Bills, and just getting the opportunity to spread my wings, and to get up from under the shadow of Coach Belichick. So it’s a good thing, a good opportunity.”

    Johnson called an eventual move to defensive coordinator “a dream of mine,” but was passed over in favor of Matt Patricia in New England and appears to feel that a lateral move now is the best way to set up a move up the ladder down the road.

    Despite my growing pessimism, I really liked this hire.

      He will be a defensive coordinator in 2015 somewhere. Mark my words.

        Belicheat has a long list of people who don't like him very much.

            Now if only the quality of hires on the offense matched the defense though I did like the new additions there as well.

                anyone who hates belichick and wants to prove him to be an ass is ok in my books. the only problem is no one does it because the pats aren't playing with the same set of rules. so everyone who leaves has a tough time.

                that being said, i hope pepper johnson gets to take off in buffalo and snub the crap out of belichick as he runs away from a handshake after a devastating beating.

                  Maybe he can teach Dareus how to take out Brady just like Wilfork took out Losman. I know it's pipe dream being that it's Marsha.

                    Why are we assuming Johnson hates Belicheck?

                    He is just trying to move up the ranks.

                    It is just business.

                        not hate, but people who respect their mentors rarely say, "move out of the shadow". That suggests that they do a lot of the work and don't get credit for it.

                        i personally think its all ernie and belichick behind the scenes. that's why they plug and play players and coaches without much drop off over the years.

                        but pepper johnson always seemed like a good guy during his football playing days. i hope he is the real deal for us

                          Dareus learns how to take out Brady's knee like Wilfork did to Losman, then Kyle Williams stomps on Brady's head Suh style.

                            Pepper Coached for Belicheck from the time he quit playing.

                            He must have learned something in all that time.
