I foresee the Panthers heading to a 3-4 defense. The personnel definitely makes sense after the drafting of Everette Brown.

Kemo at Nosetackle. Lewis and Brayton at DEs. Peppers and Brown at OLBs. Davis and Beason at ILBs.

I believe the D-coordinator Meeks is a 3-4 kind of guy. Who says the 4-3 run at Indy was by his choosing? I think it was this way because Dungy wanted a 4-3 and the Colt's personnel fit better for a 4-3 cover 2 style defense. Maybe this is why Peppers and his agent have been so quiet since the hiring of Meeks. Peppers may end up getting what he wanted while still playing for his hometown team.

I cannot see Brown being a 4-3 DE in the NFL. Yes, he has amazing instincts and quickness, but he just seems too small at 6'2 and 260 pounds. I prefer the NFL end to be 6'4+ and 270+...

What does everyone else think?

Fox had decided to go 3-4, his entire D staff had bailed, so he hired replacements with absolutely no experience in the 3-4 to develop and install. Yep, makes perfect sense.:out:

YES!!!! I was hoping someone would make this thread. That's why we hired a 4-3 coordinator, to switch to the 3-4. Makes perfect sense.

you are cracking me up today... keep it up man. Don't let these people out of your sight for a second. They deserve all the bashing you can deliver. lol

NO

Brown gains 4 lbs and he's a 4-3 DE

I don't understand how some people think it's a requirement to be 280 in order to be a 4-3 end.

A 255 lbs defensive end is more likely to get pushed around in the running game. Not saying it will happen, but its more likely to happen. IMO, if he is going to be defending against the run, he needs to add a few pounds of muscle. On the other hand, if he is going primarily come in on passing downs, its not as important.

It's pure poo.

Meeks was there for 7 years, the personel had nothing to do with it.

If you don't know anything about meeks, the panthers, or the 3-4 then it's fun to discuss, otherwise it's poo.

      TE group

      What you are saying isn't always true and I'll give you several examples to demonstrate this. 1) The best player on the board at the end of in round 1 by all consensus is RB (top 15 player in draft who slips b/c of the devaluation of the RB position). Your team is in desperate need of a LT because the current one is getting your QB killed. You already have a serviceable RB in place. The LT has a 2nd round grade and you have the first pick on day 2 of the draft Who do you choose? 2) Your run defense was abysmal the previous season. A DT in round 2 does not provide much in terms of pass rush, but most reports have him rated as the best pure run stuffing DT in the draft. The two highest rated players on your board at the time are a TE and tweener at OLB/DE who slipped into round 2 after a run on WR's. Who do you choose? 3) Your pass rush rush is solid across the board. You even have guy coming off of the bench to provide production. Your secondary in below average. No Safety on the roster is a difference maker and as a unit the squad doesn't have an INT. The highest rated player on the board is a DE. The 5th highest rated player on the board is a an intelligent ball hawking Safety. Which player would make the team immediately better?  1) I think the BPA logic applies when your team is solid across the board and you can afford to draft for depth 2) I think it also applies when your team stinks and any solid player will be an immediate upgrade over what you already have. I agree that you should NEVER reach for a player when you are need at a position like we did for Bryce Young. But I also think if there's is a player on the board that will fill a glaring weakness you need to take him even if a player with a higher over all ranking is available at another position (which isn't a need)

      Bryce Young excels at dividing Panthers fans. That seems to be what he's best at.
