I know I make a thread about him almost weekly, but he was noticeable yesterday, and he pulled off something I haven't seen a Panthers DT do something like this since the Kris Jenkins era. 

Sorry for the NFL.com link.

Blows up the center, tackles the RB just to prove a point, then trips up Mariota on the keeper. Insane play.

Brown was a monster yesterday

 

Icky played his best game of the year as well.  Just keeps getting better.  Dude was pulverizing folks all day

Whodathunkit???  Our lines on both sides of the ball are stepping up, or at least chunks of them are becoming a strength.  That has not happened since 2015, and even then our OL somehow performed above what we could have hoped for.

Brown needed to justify his draft selection this year......and he has.  He is one of the few guys who managed to show improvement under Rhule, which is some pretty rare air. 

Eh, he showed improvement once Pasqualoni came on board. While this year did technically fall somewhat under Rhule, I'm not giving him any credit since Brown regressed hard last year and it took actual NFL caoches to turn him around.

Yeah, I am not trying to give Rhule credit.....for this or anything.  Credit to Brown to improving despite him.

It is not unusual for players to fall back in their second year.  The dreaded "sophomore slump."  Rhule and company just watched that in bewilderment, not having any idea what to do.  Real coaches can look at the tape and figure out what to work on instead of doing more of the same and expecting different results.

Even Pasqualoni was probably despite Rhule, not because of him.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
