Panthers Brown growing into job, literally

When Brown arrived last year he looked, well, normal. Athletic, yes. But not like you'd think an NFL defensive lineman is supposed to look. Now he's added 10 pounds and he's going to have to find a tailor to let his jackets out, since it appears most of it is in his upper half. At 6-1, 260, he looks more like Dwight Freeney than Robert Mathis now, but said he doesn't think he's sacrificed speed for strength.

This is good to hear, I hope he has a beast year and shuts up the doubters.

Motivation, or lack of?

Adding weight, even if it's muscle, doesn't necessarily make you a better player.

yeah..I could see that

[jpniner]

definitely after Dunlap, and he's been sliding.

Could've taken our first rounder, traded down for Dunlap same way we got Beason

seems like he is trying to get better against the run. I hope he still has his 4.65 speed.

he's gonna swallow running backs up this season. i'm more worried about our pass rush ability than stopping the run. because we all know that Fox builds his defense on stopping the run, so that'll be the first thing they focus on in TC. the pass rush is what i wanna see evidence of in the four preseason games!
