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.

      Baldy believes defense is the key. For me? Even more specific than that, the true key...

      By TD alt · Posted

      Brian Baldinger on NFL Network (per Tim Weaver on Panthers Wire): "I feel like they're building a monster on that side of the ball right now and I think that's how they have to play," Baldinger stated. "They have to play like they can shut teams down this year. I think it's on them to really guide this team right now." https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2026/05/22/panthers-nfl-offseason-defense-brian-baldinger/90215555007/   So, do you believe him? Today, May 25, I do believe Baldy without any evidence otherwise. I think it's much more likely for our defense to take another marked leap (right into the top 10) than our, basically, bottom-third offense. In my mind, Lee Hunter is a literal and figurative huge addition up front, and right behind him is perhaps our biggest exclamation point on defense: Devin Lloyd. Lloyd's experience and track record of solid production should be the anchor of our defense that should help lift the floor of the entire unit. No more getting gashed on runs, eh? But, as important as Lloyd will be, the most prolific addition to the defense could be Jaelen Phillips.  In my opinion, whether or not the Panthers can demonstrably show that the defensive squad, and perhaps the team in general, is actually ready to assert itself as a perennial postseason presence lies within its ability to credibly rush passers. Phillips was paid handsomely to produce results. Now I know that most of you are probably thinking that sacks are the key. Moreover, I'm not one that is even going to tell you that his pressures are the key (you know, since Phillips's pressure rate has been highlighted over perhaps pedestrian sack numbers). The key, at least in my mind, will be the marked growth of Nic Scourton and/or Princely Umanmielen. I really do believe that they are the understated X factors that the "success" of our season may depend upon.  I'm not worried about the interior (perhaps over-optimistically so). I'm also not too concerned with our corners, as they are quietly one of the best duos in the league. Sure, the safety position has more question marks, Trevon Moering is an exclamation point, and Nick Scott, though less of an exclamation point, still has plenty of experience. With the infusion of youth, size, length and energy, I can see a good mix that will result in positives from the DBs once Ejiro Evero figures everything out. And, we should all know, a credible pass rush provides the defensive backfield with opportunities to shine, and this is but another reason why I believe that Scourton and maybe Umanmielen will be key to taking up residence in the postseason. On an off note, and as a reminder, if the defense is doing its job effectively maintaining momentum with field position, if not outright laying down the pathway with short fields and such, this should make it easier for Bryce Young and the offense to effect points on the board in terms of TDs. Where the defense goes, the offense will have every opportunity to follow.

      Canes need to get one of these two away games. Would prefer both but get 1. Go back to Raleigh 2-2. Win that one. Then you only need one of the next two.     I saw a different level of focus I’ve never seen from the canes in ECF since 06.  Also, Montreal has been bad at home in the playoffs. Get on them early, win the game.
