BEREA, Ohio -- Jabrill Peppers violated an old rule this week by answering a question with a question.

"How many deep balls have we given up?" was Peppers' answer.

The question ("Jeopardy" style): "What's the thinking behind you playing 25 or 30 yards deep?" It's an interesting position for Peppers, one of the Cleveland Browns' three first-round draft picks and a guy who seemed when he was drafted to fit best as an in-the-box, support-the-run kind of safety.

Peppers is playing deep center field.

Which might be interesting but is not new for the guy who calls the Browns' defenses.
