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.

he only has like 16 sacks in his 8yr Career... Cj has 10 in three years. say what you want but that's not a lot of production it screams back up role 2 sacks a yr.... Paltry numbers for a starter...

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.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Jalen Carter came into camp out of shape too. That was part of the reason he dropped considering he was thought of as the better defensive player pre-draft activities. It’s not a good sign when you don’t look great but it’s definitely premature.

      We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
