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.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      You know, there's something about this whole JAG thing that really just drives home the idea that to some folks, these players aren't real people, just names and stats.  Of course, it goes beyond sports. We're a sad, jaded species, us humans.

      Unc Basketball thread

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Yeah, it's just dumb. Everything is year to year. I never understood how anyone could stay engaged as a Kentucky fan or duke fan as duke became a one and done factory like Calipari made Kentucky. The thing I liked at about UNC is that we primarily focused on recruits likely to play multiple years. We'd have pur occasional one and done but most of our pros still played multiple years. And the days of the Stackhouses, Wallace, Jamison, Carter, etc. playing multiple years is just over. And now you have your role players entering the portal every year to test the waters elsewhere. I don't blame them for looking out for themselves but just personally speaking I'll run out of interest quickly trying to get to know a whole new roster year over year.
