[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 453273, member: 2232"] [SIZE=5][B][SIZE=2][FONT=arial]How confident are you guys that Charlie Peprah will suddenly improve, or that the youngster from Maine, or perhaps MD Jennings will be good enough for us back there at the starting safety position? I'm not a Badger fan, but this guy was good enough to help anchor the Jets defense that went to back-to-back AFC title games 2 & 3 years ago, shutting down Tom Brady's Patriots in one of the playoff runs. Does he have enough left in the tank/knees? Surely he'd be an upgrade over Chuck Peprah right, and then let the kids battle it out behind him?[/FONT][/SIZE][/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=5][B][URL='http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/07/16/jim-leonhard-says-hes-healthy-ready-to-get-into-a-camp/'][U][COLOR=#0066cc]Jim Leonhard says he’s healthy, ready to get into a camp[/COLOR][/U][/URL][/B][/SIZE] Posted by Darin Gantt on July 16, 2012, 8:00 AM EDT [IMG]http://nbcprofootballtalk.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/610x39.jpg?w=235[/IMG] Reuters With training camps opening soon, the guys who aren’t currently in one are beginning to sweat.
