Derrick Brown showing his true value

Derrick Brown is starting to get double teams much more frequently. 

Example:

Two Chargers offensive line players dedicated solely on Brown allowing another player, this time Obada, to win his one on one matchup and force Herbert into a bad throw. 

Doesn't show on the stat sheet, but damn does having Brown in there make things easier.

that wasn't a double team. that was flashing an overload blitz to the left side that left the RG out of the protection scheme and he didn't even really engage with Brown because Brown got stood up by his blocker. the RG was just trying to find somebody to put a helmet on but nobody was schemed to go his way. great individual effort by obada and fantastic drop into coverage by chinn. not saying this means anything about brown or that it doesn't, but this wasn't a double team.

Dude is already a legit NFL defensive tackle 3 games into his career. 

 

Is going to be a BEAST when it is all said and done. 

I love having a guy who can just eat up space in the middle. Been years since we had that and once we get a MLB, the foundation of the defense will be set

It wasn't a planned double team, but planned or not when you have two guys blocking one defender that's a double team.

Watch the initial contact again. Both linemen engage. 

for sure. i think that's just because linemen are wired to take the most immediate threat or assist on the block that looks most suspect until pressure arrives designed for them. a late blitzer would have belonged to the RG but nobody came so he just tried to find someone to touch. again, not saying that means anything about brown in a negative or positive way. he was just on the opposite side of where they attacked and obada got through that LG very impressively.

Yep, I like Obada on the inside on passing downs. He seems to be much more effective there than at end.

If he can get up to Star status that would be awesome. we have been severely lacking a young DT that works the double team for less personal stats. KK was never that person and I don't get why people think he should be. KK is the DT/DE-alt where as Star was essentially the nose tackle of a 4-3.

he definitely works better when he has a little space to use his speed but he's not as good when someone touches him. he gets swallowed up by stronger linemen and doesn't really have the get off moves to still make the play after that. it's a problem that a lot of our pass rushers have is that they have an immense speed advantage but not as much by way of being able to use their secondary moves to stay in the play. we need a charles johnson who is going to drive the LT back far enough to create some lanes for that speed to get skinny through. brown will help with that on the inside but our ends are still all these hybrid guys who don't get a lot of push.

      Travis Hunter on T-Mac

      By Seltzer · Posted

      T-Mac put up good numbers for 3 consecutive seasons on teams without a good QB situation, and in an environment where T-Mac got game planned against weekly and still performed. Teams threw all kinds of defensive coverages against T-Mac, and he still found ways week in and week out to contribute at a high level. XL was basically a 1-year wonder. Doesn't mean he cant be great (and I think him & T-Mac will compliment each other well), but i think T-Mac is the more polished of the 2 right now. This certainly isn't a perfect comparison, but I hope XL & T-Mac can approximate what we had with Smitty & Moose (Although i think T-Macs ceiling is higher than Moose and XLs ceiling is lower than Smitty). Both those guys were multiple Pro Bowlers and even All-Pro. T-Mac & XL have a long way to go to actually being comparable, but the potential is there. And regardless of how this season turns out, you can actually see a strategic plan being executed. On paper, I think this offensive roster has as much talent as any Panthers team since 2017. Defense is still a question mark, and it's unrealistic to think we will go from being historically bad to great in 1 year, but based on historical and statistical data, we stand a much better chance of turning the defense around in 1 year than the offense. I still want us to potentially add at S, CB, and ILB, but this roster is exponentially better than the roster heading into the 2023 season. Which still begs the question of how & why the team thought they were in a good position to trade all the way up. Regardless, it's in the past, and while the past 2 years have mostly sucked, we are strategically in a much better position than we have been in years. This is easily the best WR group since 2020 IMO (Moore, Anderson, Samuel). I'm super excited about what T-Mac can bring to this offense and team, and I'm really hoping we continue to build off where we ended last year offensively, and hopefully we've made enough improvements on defense to be competitive. I've also been vocal for the most part in supporting BY9. He came into an awful situation and to a team that was in no position to make such a trade.   Still, this is Year 3. And this is a team that IMHO has both the talent & depth on offense to score and score a lot. Most QBs that ever amount to anything are competing by Year 3. There are no excuses for the offense not to perform. I think BY9 knows full well what's riding on this year in terms of his long term future.  And I think T-Mac is a massive piece in helping Bryce and the team get over the hump and back into playoff contention.
