Meeks, who replaced Mike Trgovac this off-season, helped develop Robert Mathis (6-2, 245) and Dwight Freeney (6-1, 268) into star NFL defensive ends while in Indianapolis. Like Mathis, Brown is considered a little undersized for a 4-3 defensive end, coming to Carolina with a 6-foot-2, 256-pound frame, although the team believes he can add size and muscle mass.

Freeney has 70.5 sacks in eight seasons with the Colts and has been to four Pro Bowls. Mathis, who lines up opposite him at left end, had 53.5 sacks in six seasons.

"It's encouraging," Brown said. "That's one of the things I looked at when I looked at teams coming out. I looked at coaches and I’d see what kind of style they want, what is their philosophy and what kind of players they want to bring in.

“Definitely coach Meeks in Indianapolis, his guys knew how to get after the passer. They weren't the biggest guys, but you turn on the film they were 100 miles per hour until the echo of the whistle. That's the way I played at Florida State and that is the way I'm going to continue to play. I think I've walked into the best possible situation for me."

What else I like is that Brown seems to know a bit about Meeks' past, which means he might be a football junkie. I like that in a player. It isn't NECESSARY to have that to be great (see guys like Curtis Martin), but I like it.

orrrrrrrr you could be donovan mcnabb and not even know the overtime rules

Let's just slow down and be reasonable for a moment...

We've gotten a glimspe of John Fox's loyalty screwups in the past...and offensively last year he finally broke the mold in getting Otah/Stewart into the mix immediately. How many years were were tormented with watching Morgan make yet another attempt to come back...paid insane money...while letting Spoon go off and be a stud for another team. Deshaun Foster...another example. Hampton. Goings. Like someone said...hopefully this new D-coordinator shakes things up and is willing to try stuff out like our O-coordinator did last year with the rooks.

Morgan was never paid insane money.

Up until the final contract that was a pay/play kind of contract...if you look at time spent letting brain heal vs. what he was paid. Money was thrown away that could've been used to just keep Spoon.

Said all along MEEKS is the key to this season and why Peppers is still hanging around

Meeks can be another Del Rio

Take controll of the Defense

And like the Colts , Panthers are a little weak at D T

So Meeks should feel right at home

But unlike the Colts

Panthers have better talent at most of the other positions

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
