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.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
