Rhule transitioned DB to uptackle last year. DB brought that up before the season started. He mentioned that he lost weight to play the role and that he would do whatever was asked of him. 

I dont think Brown's size and skillset really limits him from playing the NT role. Aaron Donald plays that role... I dont know why DB couldnt. Not saying their outputs are the same, but their playstyle is the same. They are about being quick and add finesse the DT position as opposed to just bull rush play after play.

I'd much rather put Brown at one of the end spots and look outside for a true nose tackle.

Based on what Jordan Rodrigue said on the pod with Julian Council, she thinks we would a “power rusher” opposite Burns since he’s more of a pure speed rusher. Barno probably backs Burns up in that role

clowney enters the chat......

 

 

maybe able to finally get hi on the cheap and hes a elite run defender in 3-4. 

 

hmmm...

I would assume but I don't know. I honestly think he could play either DE or NT in a 3-4. I'm curious about his role because it think we're probably going to want him to lose or gain 20 pounds or so depending on which way we want to go with him. You don't see many 320 pound 3-4 DEs or NTs. 300 at DE or 340 at NT seems more fitting.

I don't think it's that black and white.  If we're to take a look at the Broncos' roster last year (since Evero is our DC now), they played D.J. Jones at NT who is listed at 305 pounds.

Yeah, that's considerably lighter than Brown has played probably since high school. That's my point.

Brandon Smith is going to be the ideal ILB for us. 6'4 240 and he has wheels while being a big boy.

Well he always has had the wheels and athleticism but lacked the instincts big time.  Hopefully great coaching can bring out his best.

I trust this coaching staff to make the right calls here…

His biggest issue in college was his tackling technique. He depended on his arm strength too often. The other piece was he was unable to shed blocks very well. All coachable.

True…the guy has all the tools physically.  I am very hopeful and honestly he will be given a great opportunity as we need him

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By Panthers Rhule · Posted

      I still think it's too soon to say last year's draft was bad. I think those who do are the eternal pessimists. We had 4 players who contributed last season. Two were starters. It's possible all 4 are starters this season. How is that a bad draft? I know it's because our roster was so bad but still, they are on this roster so it's the only one that counts.  Before I say it's a bad draft I prefer to wait and see how they play this season. It's possible we may have FIVE starters from that draft playing the season. Anyone who thinks drafting 5 starters by season two is a bad draft should visit a psychiatrist where they can get a prescription to help them live happier lives.    I'm not saying it was a success yet but I damn sure ain't calling it a failure yet. Most players don't make it. Most of those who do need a little time. One season isn't enough time which is why they are still on the team Leggete, Coker (UDFA but still we got him), Sanders, Smith-Wade and Wallace all showed promise last season. If they all take a step forward then it was a great draft. If only 1 does than it was an average draft. If they regress then and only then will I say it was a bad draft.  Fans often have unreasonable expectations compared to the reality of draft results. I believe this draft will shine as I think it's going to better due to the depth of the class but I also believe we will look back at 2024 and say that was a good class too. I think we have 5 players from that class who will be starters or rotational pieces for the next couple of years at least. That's a win.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      Playing devils adovcate here, but if you truly wanted to trade down then it made no sense to be a smoke screen for Walker only.  Especially since Tmac is not a generational type player.  Make it known that he is in play and see if the cowboys or whoever really like him as rumored.

      I mean everybody was, there is a difference between wanting them to draft the guy you like and accepting them drafting someone else based off all the intel and rumors. Up until draft night everybody was convinced it was gonna be walker or maybe another defensive player. If you didn't you was just crossing your fingers.
