Let's Discuss This Idea Before It's Too Late

Our linebacker lineup isn't permanently set yet. So lets discuss this idea

Since reading the idea of moving Brown to linebacker and Norwood to DE, idk. James back to WLB, Beastson is MLB, I dont see what's wrong trying Brown out for SLB, he's got the size. I dont think it would be a hard job for Brown neither

I'm still iffy on Brown being an great DE and I'm iffy on our linebacker lineup

We got Johnson, Norwood (who I believe given a chance will be a better pass rusher than Brown), Brayton, Hardy, I say we keep Moore, Eric that is, and we will blitz our linebackers from time to time

What you think? And I know Weakside is the focal point, but we lost Davis. Injuries are a part of the game, and dont mean we should just take our best linebacker and move him just cause we can. IMO we still have a lot of time to try it

We have to consider the fact that Beason may just be out of sync in the spot he is, and MLB is where we need him. I'd give any of your suggestions some merit...as you say, it is early, and by next week we do need to see what we got and what they got to contribute.

right LBs, adjust the lineup.

Beaston-MLB-his home

Conner-SLB-let dan take on TEs/FBs/dirty work

Anderson-WLB-he showed play-maker skills here while filling in for davis(i was shock, gave up on him in 2008)

i hope the panthers wake up and at-least try this setup.

pass down DE- Brown-needs another year of growing(weight room, football IQ, film room, etc)

Nice over reaction to the first preseason game.

Conner is good. I don't think he'll be better on the outside than he is in the middle. He is a naturaal mike.

Beason will make the adjustment, and well be cheering for the plays they make.

Funny how so many over reacting to this...knowing full well that the reaction will be much worse when there is worse play from a different lineup.

I understand beason has done great for us at the mike position....but moving him back to mike isn't going to help if the other olb plays even worse than our all pro linebacker did at the same position.

Brown can't play linebacker.... sorry but I'm sure Fox and company would have tried this if it were a realistic possibility.

Honestly it's a good thing Brown is getting some competition for the pass-rushing d-end position. We were so worried about our pass rush, and now that we have some legitimate competition at the position we cant just let the players decide? Brown is incredibly young give him time to develop.

And Beason will do just fine at the Will position, it's obviously going to take him a little time to get adjusted. I'm more surprised Foxey would take this risk considering Beason was an anchor on our defense and how important winning is this year for the Panthers. I do think Connor is better as a Mike linebacker as oppose to a Sam.

Brown = no pass coverage.

Norwood is already sketchy in pass coverage, which is the main reason he may not see the field as much as some of you hope he will.

4-3 DE is a MASSIVELY different position than 4-3 OLB. The difference is no so great in a 3-4 but in a 4-3 all of your responsibilities change, it would take Brown at least a year or maybe 2 to get the drift from DE to OLB. So its not gonna happen.

I think you'd find a pretty solid percentage of fans here favor putting Beason back in the middle. It's the outside configuration that's the subject of debate.

And I'll say here what I said elsewhere: If we ran a 3-4, Brown would make sense as an OLB. But we don't, so he doesn't.

Freeny and Mathis were not instant hits in Indy under Meeks. GIve him a chance. He had a lot of QB pressures last year. He is not out of position. Good thing about us is this: We can go small and quick (Brown, Norwood) or big and bad (Hardy, Johnson, Brayton)--Brown will serve a role that may not have been staged last week. Still, he is a good player, is adjusting to the added weight. We should feel damn good about the DE position now that we are serving up sacks pepper-free and focus on another position.

      Another layer to that is Ive seen Seattle has been in the market for CB help this off-season.   Michael had a higher PFF grade than Horn who got 15 games this season. He wants to be here too, that's a huge bonus for any 5 win team that had awful pass rush.  The 7th rounder Michael Barrett didn't last long on Seattle, he was cut before the season I think and ended up on browns PS. He's already been on 5.......5 teams within one year.......

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By Basbear · Posted

      You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
