Big, big guy playing in this heat and humidity for a full game might not be the best thing for Brown.

Not sure that's the reason, but it would be a good one and looking down the long, long road to that 17th game... we can let him slide for a few weeks.

Dude played full seasons at Alabama at a heavier weight.

And this ain't like Ron, how?

this isn't like Ron.  Ron once caught heat for punting on the opponents 35 because he felt being conservative was more important than points.   This is something totally different and new.

Maybe he got winded. I don't know. I am done guessing with this group. This is Norwell sitting behind Amini all over again. 

Not at all. I remember bumping into Norwell when he first got to Charlotte. Huge guy, but athletic, not someone struggling with his weight. He was like Jordan Gross during his time here, chubby around the middle, but only because he needed to be to anchor himself against d linemen. If Deonte still has conditioning issues, then he's a liability, especially if he only plays one position. Hopefully these new sports science guys Rhule uses will get him into game shape fast.

Your starting OL were getting blown into the backfield every play at least brown can hold his ground long enough for a freakin play to develop. They are gonna getting Darnold killed before he has any time to establish himself here. It blows my mind how people on here just accepted them not even trying to protect him. Darnold has injury history, he is nowhere near a iron man.

He was the Giants OL coach I thought

he was an assistant OL coach for one season.   

but I don't think that earned him the narrative as an OL expert.   I have never heard it at least.  He has a random coaching year basically everywhere on O or D.   Resume always read like a jack of all trades type guy from a positional perspective.   Which makes sense if your goal is HC.

      Didn't know where to post this but it is panthers relevant since eventually we'll have a couple wr in Coker and tmac that will get paid. Jaxon Smith-njigba just signed a 4 year $168.6 million contract extension that now makes him the highest paid wr in nfl history. For now

      Would be happy with Lomu or Iheanachor at 19. Fano is intriguing but I don't think he makes it.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers will strongly consider Kenyon Sadiq if he’s there @19

      II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth.  We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts.  I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year.  That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign.   We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL?  That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs.  They need to start getting younger on the OL as well.   I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it.  RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel.   Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency.  DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player.  Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025.  Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2.  The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB.  We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year.  I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade.  Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned.   Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB  (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.
