Philly Brown's Big Shot

Even though Sunday Night's matchup against the Chiefs is a preseason game, it may be the most important game of Philly Brown's young career.

 

According to Ron Rivera, Brown will be returning punts.

 

The Panthers are still looking for the player that will rise above and accept the punt return challenge. Against the Bills, Philly proved he was an asset in punt coverage, providing great special teams play. This week, he gets to show his value with the ball in his hands.

 

Philly Brown has punt experience from his days as an Ohio State Buckeye...

 

 

 

 

 

If Brown can perform at the same level in the pro game, his roster spot is a lock.

 

Brown has impressed as of late. During the last days of camp he seemed to have a light bulb moment, catching several nice passes and looking less like an undrafted rookie. The game may be starting to slow down for him a bit.

 

Ron Rivera recently named Brown as training camp's biggest surprise.

 

Cam Newton has also seemed to have taken note as indicated by his celebrations with brown after big plays.

In my latest , I had Philly Brown making the regular season roster as one of six wide receivers. For Philly to solidify that list, he will need to 1.) Not fumble or muff a punt and 2.) Have at least one decent return. If he can do those two things I believe the punt return position will be his to lose.

 

It doesn't get any bigger for a undrafted rookie trying to make a football team. Win and you're in. Lose and you go home.

 

This is preseason football at its best.

I don't think people realize how important this game is to not only Philly, but for the team in general. If they can't find a viable option for he return game. That could substantially cost us a game or two. There's a lot of pressure on Philly Brown currently. I hope he knows how to handle it and becomes what all of us want. A legit threat at least in the return game.

      Is McMillan getting ROTY or is Shough / Henderson going to get it?

      If Henderson just got a concussion and will possibly/probably now miss next week as well, gotta think missing 2 games of stats at this point of the year might knock him out as he was only just entering the discussion the last few weeks anyways.  Same goes for Judkins going down today too, and Dart's god awful game likely removes him from the conversation as well. It will be interesting to see how the voters compare T-Mac and Egbuka if they end up with stats that are nearly identical. Egbuka burst onto the scene and put up the bulk of his stats early in the year when Baker was playing like the MVP front runner.  While T-Mac was just more consistent throughout the course of the full season (ex. Egbuka has 8 games of 42 yards or less, T-Mac has 4 of them, while T-Mac still scored 3 TDs in those 4 games, where Egbuka only scored 1 TD in his 8). It would be a shame if they put too much weight on the final game of the season if that ends up being the division decider, as I think T-Mac has had the better SEASON while Egbuka had a better peak output during that first month or so but way cooled off since. Maybe Warren goes off in the last 3 games (they still play tomorrow), but it does seem to be down to T-Mac and Egbuka right now.

      Mitchell Evan’s put a block on someone that he drove them all the way out of bounds and to the bench. He absolutely destroyed the guy. He’s gonna be a beast for us if he keeps that up.
