Brown doubled a lot, which I took as a good sign. It was his first ever live action at this level, so I thought he looked pretty decent. I'd like to see Brown with Peppers on the field more so Pep will get the majority of the attention.

Man, I was really surprised at how often they doubled him. I think people are expecting too much if they're looking for a rookie DE to beat double teams in his first ever NFL game. He looked pretty good to me when he got a one on one match-up. Hell, he was about as effective as Peppers, Brayton, or Johnson. That whole starting defense looked like they were running in quicksand to me.

BTW, that Stintim kid did look good, but he was also being matched up one on one with a TE most of the time...any good DE should win that battle.

Here's what I saw from the first game:

Pros: Very high motor. He just kept coming, and even in the 4th quarter kept going at it with all he has. He has some moves and can get out into open space, but is still having trouble locating the QB and taking advantage of his moves by closing the gap and breaking from the blocker.

Cons: It's obvious his size and strength was an issue, especially against the 1st team. There several plays where I saw him overpowered, and a couple where he was downright pushed into the ground.

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Week 16 - Other NFL Games

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.

      Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
