With all the turnover on the D, Brayton survived the purge. high motor and all he doesn't fit into the youth movement and doesn't make sense at all why hes running with the first team at RDE... which is usually destined for the best pass rushing DE. I love his intensity on game days but hes simply not a pass rusher more of a high effort type... i would much rather see E Brown, Johnson, or even Hardy ( after hearing reports from camp) run the RDE where the best pass rusher is suppose to line up..... any thoughts?...

Not saying he's a bad player at all but for the best pass rush i believe he needs to work on the left side

Actually Brayton is much quicker than folks give him credit. Go back when he came into the league and compare him to Brown and Johnson, he had better measurables including cones drills, 40 yard dash and was stronger. The reason he doesn't get much hype is because he often gets doubled off the line. Last year our defense was shifted so that Peppers and Lewis had 1 on 1 matchups while Brayton often took on double teams.

As for where he should play, lets see what the team runs this year. The same 4-3 under over as last year or more of a straight up 4-3 or some variation like the Miami 4-3.

seniority gets the RDE starting spot. been that way for a long time and on many teams.

even with that...pass rusher is primarily used/needed on passing downs. need the best run stuffers/containers on other downs which is what brayton is. he is better than anyone on run support. he isn't a liability on the pass rush either but they will probably have someone rotated in on passing downs or shift him to NT like they did last year when they did the 3 man rushes.

Brayton was miscast in Oakland for years and never reached his potential. He is much better in our system. And as i mentioned he is not out there to pile up the sacks. The line is skewed to the other side so they can pile up the sacks. His job is to take on 1 or 2 players in run defense and pressure the passer when they throw on those downs. He moves inside on passing downs because he can still get better push than out DTs. That could change this year with Tyler and Louis.

Last year he was second in sacks with 5.

Zod put it well last year. He said Brayton was 1 step away from being a pro bowl player at DE. He led the D line in tackles and was second in quarterback pressures with 24 and 7 quarterback hits. Not bad for as little as we pay him.

Your showing you don't know much about Brayton. He was moved from DE to Jack LB then to DT in oak. Needless to say he was never allow to develope the first part of his career. He is just now coming into his own.

      Canales is in most critical point of his tenure

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      Canales is in the middle of the most critical point of his Panthers tenure: The 2nd half of the 2nd season. Looking back here is how the other head coaches performed to this point and how their time here pivoted. Dom Capers First 26 Games: 13-13 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (1996) won final 7 games to win division, took Panthers to NFC Championship Game. Final Record/Accomplishments: 30-34; NFC West Division Title-1996 George Seifert First 26 Games: 12-14 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (2000) Finished 3-3 with mixed results in games; finished 1-15 the following season. Final Record/Accomplishments: 16-32; None. John Fox First 26 Games: 15-11 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (2003) corrected the season after a strong start and mid-year stumble to win division, Won NFC Championship Game. Final Record/Accomplishments: 73-71; (1) Conference Championship; (3) Playoff Appearances; (2) Division Titles. Ron Rivera First 26 Games: 8-18 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (2012) Won 5/6 remaining games; finished 12-4 following season and won division. Final Record/Accomplishments: 76-63-1; (1) Conference Championship; (4) Playoff Appearances; (3) Division Titles; (2) COY Awards Matt Rhule First 26 Games: 10-16 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (2021) Lost final 7 games in a row, terminated 5 games into following season. Final Record/Accomplishments: 11-27; None. Dave Canales First 26 Games: 10-16 2nd Half of 2nd Season: TBD Final Record/Accomplishments: TBD The writing was on the wall at the end of Rhule and Seifert’s 2nd season, while Capers, Fox, and Rivera all finished strong and rallied. To be fair, Capers 1997 and 1998 seasons weren’t great, but he was faced with adversity and still managed to leave with at least one successful season...thanks to the second half of his 2nd season.

      Honestly unless the Packers WR in the end zone was disqualified from tackling, he was literally right behind him ready to tackle him at the 5 yard line. Probably better he dropped it field position wise unless people think Mike Jack has Ted Ginn speed or something.
