Are interest in Cody brown as a DE to me says a lot about what we are looking for in are new scheme…seeing as most NFL teams see him as a OLB and the 4-3 teams see him as a LB..

He is 6-2 244...thats not that big for a DE..But that’s right up meeks alley..i am fine with this I just don’t wont the small DT..

Brown, at 6 feet 2 and 244 pounds, is too small to play defensive end on most NFL teams, although he said the Carolina Panthers would play him at end in their 4-3 scheme. But other teams that have looked at Brown -- the Giants, Broncos, Patriots, Chiefs, Cardinals and Dolphins -- envision him as a pass-rushing outside linebacker in the mold of Dallas' DeMarcus Ware or Pittsburgh's James Harrison.

The other teams he visited is more telling in terms of who's interested, though. The Chiefs and Cardinals visited UConn's Pro Day, but the Panthers, Giants, Broncos and Patriots had Brown come to them, meaning a higher level of interest

For a team that is not going to draft him.

i dont get what you are saying..lots of prospects tell what the teams told them.and for the most part it is fine..maybe not for the panthers because we like to keep everything under wraps..but the panthers cannot control what he tells the media..

but the point is that we are scouting a DE that small..taylor was a project from the 7th..and brown is not he is a 3rd to 4th round DE....but his size tells us that we may be going to the smaller D-line meeks is know for.

What I'm saying is...... it is a smoke screen. The Panthers do control what players say.....by not telling them anything. We don't let people know what we're doing. You could be right (I doubt it personally) about the Dline size but, if history is correct it won't be Brown.

you don't really know what's geniune and what's not, just because we look at somebody doesn't mean we aren't interested in him

I'm sure we'll throw up plenty of smokescreens, but you're going overboard with it, you make it sound like every single guy we publicly look at is a ruse, some are and some aren't

more likely it means we aren't going to be picking them if we met with them.

      Evero HC requests!

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      Are you now equating best/worst rush defense with best/worst defense? Those are separate things entirely. For rush defense, depending on how you quantify it, he has been largely in the bottom third of the league his entire career as a defensive coordinator.  As you can see, aside from his one year in Denver, he has never been above 20th in yardage. Now, there is context to consider which is most coordinators choose to run on him(24th-32nd ranked in his three year in Carolina). So, if you just simply look at Y/A, it has been a relatively mixed bag. Twice a top 15 defense but twice a bottom 15 defense.  The thing the should make all this good/bad run defense a lot clearer is the right most columns. Evero's defense has always prioritized pass defense and confusing QB's. That's the core of his defensive philosophy, as has been reported relatively widely. As much as there are ample personnel issues on that side of the ball(many of which he contributes to with his below average talent evaluations) his defenses may never be truly elite in rush and pass defense unless they are stocked with defensive talent. Like....his Denver defense that he inherited was. To that point, if you look at all those rankings from the three years Fangio(of whom Evero is a noted disciple) it shows a progression of getting steadily better into the far more elite defense it is now under Vance Joseph. As far as his HC interest, recall that he was a hot commodity after Denver and that cooled significantly after his first two years here. I suppose if you count getting interviews for HC positions as a benchmark for being a good coach(most would not) then he is middle of the packish.
