Reed: Meeks/Brown could be match made in Heaven.

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.

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

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
