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.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
