You know, that's the problem with this board - someone posts an idea and right away people jump in and call it "crap".

I've played and coached football for many years and the idea of Brown possibly being converted to a SAM OLB is not "crap". If you think it's a ridiculous idea then you obviously don't know much about football.

The same could be said for you, to expect a guy who never played in coverage throughout his college to career to jump into the NFL and become even DECENT is a bit far fetched.

You see the time it's taken Davis, and he's played at safety in college.

I don't think it's a crap idea, I do believe the responses make more sense though. We need D-Line depth and he helps us. I'm not sure what would make the Panthers think that they could convert him to a LB unless he has shown coverage skills, just off a hunch. I believe he is best suited at the DE position.

another no vote.

you don't take a speed pass rusher like this guy and do anything but make him rush the QB.

diggs and connor have the Sam covered.

Brayton can tell you all about what happens when your try to use a DE as a SLB.

There is one position switch I could see pondering, mind you.

With the depth at corner, I wonder if the staff would move Dante Wesley over to free safety.

Wouldn't be a hard move for him, considering he is awful in straight up coverage. Not a knock on the player, he is a ACE on special teams, but his CB days are numbered.

I think that you would have a viable arguement if we were a 3-4 D but we are a 4-3 D. Ron Meeks D's have historically had undersized DE's that are good at getting to the QB, DT's that are big and strong but not overly athletic and can handle two OL long enough for the LB's to get into position, LB's that are not massive but more built on speed and great tackling, CB's and Safety's that are more smart than freakish athletes.

If you look at that model then Brown fits in with a Meeks' DE perfectly.

Our LB depth is "impressive" because any of our backups, Anderson, Johnson, and Connor can play just about any of the 3 LB positions. They may not be Pro-bowlers but they can all play effectively if needed, and all 3 could possibly start for a lot of teams.

I'm wasn't really arguing for or against the idea, just thinking out-loud and trying to strike up a conversation. I think Brown is a great prospect at DE esepcially under Meeks.

what's even more classic is a person too stupid to detect sarcasm:D

What even more stupid is someone who thinks sarcasm translates well over a message board.

I can only hope this is sarcasm, but I've read some comments on this board in the past that would make it just as easy to believe it wasn't, LOL.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By OldhamA · Posted

      I think you have to factor in that we're still not an attractive proposition for Head Coaches. You're not getting the cream of the crop if you fire Canales a year after winning the NFC South, especially considering the situation he walked into.

      Yeah, I was about to say I hope he's doing okay health-wise because he's not looking good in that pic.

      Honestly, I dont  think he should be on the hot seat yet. A bad start to next year, then yes. Despite our mistakes on play calling this past season, we played better than anticipated overall. Bryce showed improvement and maturity (although still not nowhere close to our expectations). Better record and 2-15 to 5-12 to 8-9. Despite what we feel the stats dont lie we are improving by 3 wins a year. Could 11-6 be our expectation. That's a high bar but at the rate we are going, thats what its looking like. We all want to see a 5-12 to a 13-4 record but we are methodically moving up. Success doesnt happen overnight (well in most cases).  IMO we are struggling mostly on the defensive end. LB and edge are our biggest weakness. I see Bryce making improvements (even though I was a Bryce hater) next year. Biggest concern is LT on offense. How to fix this? We need a big name edge or to trade up and get a big name edge or LB and pick up one in FA and draft one. Also if in the 3rd we can pick up a TE. Dont know if Sanders is the answer or Tremble (even though I love Trembles blocking and power after the catch). If these two can get their footwork together they would be great. Maybe all they need is a better TE coach. And if Brooks can stay healthy and be the back we thought he could be, man that would be great
