Brown among top rookies

[Cyberjag]

Don't look now, but Brown has 11 tackles, one sack, and a pair of forced fumbles. That may not seem like much, but only two defensive linemen from his rookie class are doing better. Michael Johnson has 13 tackles and a sack for the Bengals, and Roy Miller has 21 tackles and two sacks for the Bucs. Neither have the competition for playing time that Brown does either.

Ever stop to think that maybe Hurney knows what he's doing?

i don't hate the pick like many but i think it may be to his advantage that he doesn't start.

/and i do think hurney knows what he's doing.

[klumme]

Agree..

Roy Miller before today had 255 snaps

Michael Johnson had 180

Brown had 141

But Orakpo play at the line on some snaps but other than that i agree I think Brown have played very well and with Peppers broken hand he might see a little more work now.

Yeah, Everette Brown > Top 10 pick in a deep draft in which we kind of need a QB. Good going Hurney.

[mmmbeans]

top 10 lol.

don't be a drama queen.

[magnus]

those are the only rooks with sacks?

Top 10 pick?? Eventhough there are not any QB´s worth the top 10 IMO. And sure it is a deep draft but that is a good thing when you dont have any first round pick.

If it was a shitty draft then we were in more trouble.

I just looked at defensive linemen, and only listed the ones who are performing at his level.

[klumme]

Matt Shaughnessy DE from the Raider have 14 tackles and 2 sacks i 166 snaps.

Terrance Knighton DT from Jax has really played well also. Other than those to there aren´t anyone close to Brown.

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

How about that Sherrod Martin, as well? Only three games and performing at a high rate like he is?

Quite pleased with the 2009 2nd rounders.

As for complaining about giving up the first rounder for him, there are plenty of QB's to go around next year and the Panthers don't need one of the standouts to fix their woes.

No...

At the least, it's too early to judge him at this point. Remember how many thought Mario Williams was a foolish choice over Bush and that was true...for their respective rookie seasons.

[Jaxel]

Don't look now, but we are Miami away from being .500 again =x just saying, i don't think we would have gotten a top ten pick.

[Peppermint9030]

Lets not forget Mario Williams bad first season also, everyone declared bust... Mark my words brown will have 10 sacks next season.
