Bucky Brooks: Carolina building for Newton


unicar15

Recommended Posts

Bucky Brooks: The Panthers are looking for sizzle. Cam Newton gives them an "it" factor. He's built to play in the offense they're constructing around him.

I thought this was a really interesting thing that Brooks tweeted a few days ago. What does he mean by us constructing an offense around Cam Newton?? What moves have we made to make him possibly think that? Is the Chargers-esque offense that we are probably going to run a fit for Newton or something??

I hope he is right because Newton is probably going to be the pick. He's not the kind of QB where you can just put him in any offense and he is going to succeed. He's going to have to have something taylor-made for him.

i think he more or less is talking about how we have built a team that a rookie could play with...strong running game...went out and got a TE which can be a rookie QB's security blanket...newton does fit with our vertical passing scheme b/c that's what he does best is throw the ball down the field and with accuracy...it's still just speculation on brooks' part

Like I said, we're not going to shove Cam into a system and tell him to learn it. They're going to take the base system Chud runs and adapt it to best fit what Cam does best. Saying Cam's not the same as Rivers is pointless; he doesn't have to be. Our version of that offense could potentially be quite different from what SD runs, even if the basics are the same.

Newton in the gun, Stew and Goodson on each side of him..Smith in the slot w/Gettis, Lafell on the outside. Shockey at TE. Who do you try and cover?

Well at this point in his career you blitz the hell out of Newton and hope he makes a mistake (likely as a rookie). He's gonna be a Panther...There almost isn't even an argument against it. I hope it works out though.

First off bucky Brooks is a clown. Second, Newton is a fit for this offense? 900 page complicated playbook? Did bucky see newton look like a deer in the headlights with Gruden?

I could get excited about watching that after all the boring years- and I guess that's what the FO is looking for.

For starters, we don't know what our offense will look like this year with a whole new staff. Assuming we are still run first, this is a very rookie friendly offense but the o-line has to block this year or we will have the same result. Has anyone heard any updates on Otah? We can't open holes like we use to without him. :auto:

    • I was checking out Chris Brazzell II measureables, and I thought they looked suspiciously familiar. Turns out it was true, almost identical measureables to former Panthers DJ Chark circa 2023. I even checked Terrace Marshall Jr results, and honestly isn't that far behind them.   I know this isn't unique for just our team, but we seem to specifically have an obsession with trying to make this tall lanky speedsters work for us. I admittedly wasn't that high on Brazzell, and when I watched the tape I didn't really see that 4.3 speed, and a strong wind seems to tackle him.   I really liked most of the draft, including getting Hecht in the 5th when I graded him as a #1 Center in this draft. I'm rooting for the guy to work out, especially since our HC and OC made their bones as Wide Receiver coaches. But Brazzell is the only one I'm kinda meh on. I was hoping we'd trade up to get Big Citrus, or if we went WR I liked Ted Hurst much better. We'll see though. 3rd rounders seem to be coin-flips for us (see DJ Johnson/Matt Corral). But I'm rooting for the guy and for this experiment to finally pay off.   I haven't seen anyone else post something about this, so just thought it was interesting and passing it along.   #keeppounding   -------------------------------------------------------------- AI Overview   Chris Brazzell II and D.J. Chark both possess nearly identical elite deep-threat profiles, highlighted by their tall, lanky builds and blazing sub-4.40 speed. Chark was slightly faster, while Brazzell offers a marginally heavier frame and longer wingspan. [1, 2, 3, 4] The side-by-side physical and athletic testing results from their respective NFL Scouting Combines outline their comparable profiles: [1] Metric [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] D.J. Chark (2018) Chris Brazzell II (2026) Height 6'3" 6'4" Weight 199 lbs 198 lbs Wingspan 78.5" 80.1" 40-Yard Dash 4.34 seconds 4.37 seconds 10-Yard Split ~1.50s (est.) 1.52 seconds Vertical Jump 40.0" 40.0" (pre-draft) Hand Size 9.25" 9.0" Analytical Comparison Size & Build: Both receivers offer an excellent catch radius with lanky, outside-threat frames. Brazzell holds a slight edge in height and an even more significant advantage in wingspan, giving him a massive target radius. Speed Profile: Chark famously recorded the fastest 40-yard dash time at his combine, while Brazzell was a standout at his event. Both times are elite for their size, translating directly to the "field-stretching" and vertical playmaking abilities that define their games. Draft Status: Chark was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the second round (61st overall) of the 2018 Draft. Brazzell was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the third round (83rd overall) of the 2026 NFL Draft.
    • I still reserve my right to bitch about how incompetent the Panthers are at running a football organization and point to the mountains of evidence in support.
