Oh I see, Mike Mayock doesn't know what he's talking about either - okay I get it, you're a know it all.

There has to be a good reason why Mayock made a point out of specifying twice within a few seconds that Brown was a RIGHT defensive end.

We'll see what happens when the season starts... I'm gonna dig up this thread.

Brown said he can play either side, and Peppers is better on the side he's on.

There is no reason to switch the two.

Not sure if this is doable agaisnt every offense but I could see a starting lineup of:

LE Johnson

DT Brayton

DT Peppers

RE Brown...

providing a hell of a pass rush. Even against the run they would be fairly stout. Probably not the best lineup for a team like the Giants or Vikings but agaisnt the Patriots and Cards it could be very effective.

Also, Peppers complains he's not used to maximize his talent. JMO but I think Peppers could be THE best pass rushing DT in the league. Crazy thought I guess.

I doubt Brayton and Peppers could hold up in the middle against any OL in the NFL.

Brayton playing the 3 technique is an interesting concept however....

Well of course Brown said that - I would say that too, he's a competitor. He's also a rookie and starting out on day one he's not going to offend a veteran by suggesting that he'd be better at his position.

There are several very good reasons for Brown to play RE and Peppers to play LE:

1. Peppers = 6'6 290

2. Brown = 6'1" 250

Brown should be lined up on the weak side of any play, if you line him up on the strong side I'm gonna put my TE and tackle on him and you'll never hear from him again. Most TE's in the NFL are as big or bigger than Brown.

Let me be clear: I'M NOT SAYING BROWN CAN'T PLAY LE, I'M JUST SAYING IT MAKES MORE SENSE TO PUT HIM AT RE (OR THE WEAK SIDE OF THE PLAY) BASED ON HIS SIZE AND SKILL SET.

Brayton actually did move inside on 3rd downs last year, so that's nothing new. There is no way the starting line up will end up like that though.

It actually can be done with smaller DT's and DE's though...see the 06 Colts play off run...they shut down some damn good rushing attacks on their way to the Super Bowl.

True... it can be done - but why do it when you have a 350 lb Samoan on the roster, LOL.

That's your assumption, but it's not what the man said at all. Hell, if your assumption is true, then why didn't he pick Orakpo? The Skins needed a DE even more than the Panthers, and the guy was picked ahead of Brown.

I am not saying his pick was the correct one. You need to get on the same page here. I am saying that I think the destination and circumstances there weigh heavily in trying to predict and determine a selection of this type.

do you actually disagree with that?

Well yeah, I'm sure he looked at a lot of things, but my point is that he didn't say that Brown will have the biggest impact, because the D-line sucks...he said that he was the best pass rusher. I'm pretty sure he even commented that Orakpo doesn't have the moves that Brown has.

It was Schlereth who said that Brown would have the biggest impact as a rookie not Hoge.

Hoge said that Jason Smith would have the biggest impact.

Believe that if you want to, but Hodge was the first to speak on the matter, before Schlereth and all Hodge talked about was how Brown was going to have the most impact. Schlereth did say Brown's name in response to Hodge and kinda agreed with him, but Hodge was the man who said it...

No man, it was Schelreth who picked Brown to be the most impactful rookie, Hodge picked someone else entirely different. I think Hodge picked Maclin.

we did not trade a first for him not to become a everydown player.

And he will be. Not his first year, but he see the field, and rush the passer. The rest of his ability will develop, and he will become an everydown player.

People should be happy to have such a talented player with a non stop motor.

Instant pass rush, well worth a first round pick.

Well I guess we just listened to different broadcasts then, because I heard what I heard and reported it as such. No problem with that, it happens.

The way these talking heads change their minds from one broadcast to the other blows my mind...

:lol:

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
