So what was the deal with this guy last night. I saw absolutely nothing from him that would warrant me spending a 2nd round draft pick on him, let alone trading a future 1st round pick just to get him. Greg Hardy showed more promise and he was taken in the 6th round. Unless someone can tell me that Brown was obviously double teamed all night, then I'm gonna go on ahead and say he needs some serious work on his technique. He tried to do the Dwight Freeney/Robert Mathis spin move several times and completely failed at it.

The thing that stood out to me and really disappointed me was that he was a half-step slow off the snap. For a guy that needs to win with speed already he needs to get off the ball. I noticed this several times when he was on the right side of the Dline and I could get a good look at his feet.

Is he fast enough to play the Will or Sam? I am just confused about how to use him right now. He needs to get a mean streak and get it fast.

I was wondering the same thing. He might be a better fit at LB. He showed some speed on the pass rush last year as a rotation DE. It would be interesting to see Fox put him at LB during the preseason. Probally won't happen though.

Well there were a few plays where he got off the line pretty quickly, but once he got into the offensive tackle's pads, the offensive tackle just swallowed him up. Those linemen up there in Baltimore are beastly, but still, he should've been able to get around 'em at least once or twice. I noticed the same thing about Beason... at least on one play anyway. Beason got up to the line of scrimmage on a blitz, but couldn't get off his block to get to the QB. Our defensive line as a whole looked promising, but they all need a lot of work from what I could tell from last night's game anyway.

You guys bitch way to much. Its only the 1st game of the pre season and you already think Edwards, Brown, and Jarrett are a wasted picks and will bust ect..

Not bitching, just creating some nice discussions. Did I say Brown was a bust? Nope. Just kind of interested to see what other people's opinions were of his play last night. Nothing too constructive.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks are Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team) seem to be locks. Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?

      I had this discussion with my buddy yesterday afternoon. If we start this season very slow(especially with the schedule being what it is) and then "rally" in the second half to get to 4-7 wins, I am already gonna be pretty heated at the staff overall. I know we are a very bad roster but I am not gonna keep excusing these slow season starts WITH late season rallies. That's a coaching staff problem, IMO. It's more excusable to just stink gate to gate, IMO. At least you can understand why.
