Does not say much but it was just posted by him on http://www.everettebrownfranchise.com

The regular season is officially under way so it's prime time to take a look back at preseason. Preseason was certainly an adrenaline rush for me. It had been such a long time since I had truly tackled or sacked anyone, and I was eager and ready to prove myself. As a rookie, I was expecting to play a lot of snaps on defense and on special teams, and I definitely did. My most memorable preseason game has to be against Miami because it reminded me so much of my Florida State days. My first year FSU played in Dolphins stadium during the bowl game, and being there again reminded me of my freshman year. Funny how things work out.

As for adjusting as a rookie it is different and interesting to say the least. We have loss our first 2 games to Philadelphia and Atlanta but we are preparing to make sure that will not be the trend this season. So this week, I (and the team) have been focusing on betterment. Making improvements and eliminating the mistakes.

Well that's all for now. Make sure you tune in the Panthers games this season!

    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
    • Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.
    • Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
