If he keeps saying and doing the right things, I think I am really going to like this guy. Good article. GO PANTHERS!!

The soccer games were finished that Saturday for Everette Brown and his younger brother Tobias. Now it was time for their weekly treat: lunch at McDonald's on the way home.

But as their father, Odell, started the car for the short drive from Wilson to Stantonsburg in Eastern North Carolina, he turned to the boys. He was angry about what he thought was a poor effort given by Everette and Tobias – both still in elementary school – in their games that morning.

“If you can't go out there and push yourselves on the soccer field, you don't deserve McDonald's today,” he said. “If you're going to lay back like that, you can spend your Saturdays at home cutting the grass and working in the yard.”

Instead, Odell took the boys to a field next to their grandmother's house.

“Y'all ain't tired,” he said. “So get out there and run!”

Since that punishing afternoon, going all-out was never again an issue with Everette Brown. In fact, his full-force effort on every play as a defensive end at Florida State was a trait much-admired by the Carolina Panthers, who made him their top choice in April's NFL draft (in the second round, the 43rd player chosen overall).

And if hearing his named called by his home-state team two weeks ago culminated one big day in Brown's life, it had no more influence on him than that Saturday years ago.

“Oh, man, I remember it like it was yesterday,” Brown said. “My brother and I were walking around the soccer field like we didn't want to be there. It showed. My dad didn't let it go unknown that he wasn't happy.

“That's carried over for me. Every time I step on the field, I give it everything.

“No matter what.”

Cont.

I was really exicited when we picked him, I just hope he brings that same never stop attitude to practice as well as games so he can become an effective run stopper along with his pass rushing abilities. I don't know if he will be a 4 down lineman until that happens

“In the long run it helped me,” said Brown. “What I'm known for now is my pursuit: coming up from behind, stripping the ball and making the tackle. When the ball goes away from me, I don't feel like I'm out of the play.”

Or out of a game.

When Beddingfield was in the process of losing a big lead against West Craven during Brown's senior season, a Bruins assistant coach worried they would lose.

Brown got in his face.

“Come on coach!” Johnson remembered Brown shouting. “Get your lip up! We're not losing this game!”

“He wasn't disrespectful about it,” Johnson said. “And we won.”

this i exactly who we are needing...going to be the beason of the front line.

i was just thinking...he is going to be our ace in the hole against romo. romo gets flustered easily. someone gets to him and he becomes an easy target and accident prone for a while. if peppers is still here i could see him always in a state of panic seeing brown coing at him so quickly and knowing that peppers is behind him somewhere. brown isn't going to let up and is going to be in his face all day.

i have a feeling that is going to be happening on a lot of sundays.

I just thought of something that may have been mentioned already but I havent seen it. If he has such a high motor, and he is always going for the QB, I wonder if he will push peppers to be even better and not take plays off. If this plays out like that our FO deserves a big hand for being ingenious. Imagine peppers with motivation...

Julius Peppers with motivation would be the greatest thing to come to Charlotte in a while.....If Pep stays and plays to his potential, at least like last year, and Ev. Brown and Charles Johnson continue to get to the QB, throw in Brayton on run stopping, and Taylor as a situational rusher...then we could have the best DE's in recent memory, esp if Brown is what we all expect him to be.......I also have a feeling that Charles Johnson will step up huge this year, which should motivate #90 even more.....

it depends on how incentive driven the contract is for pep. if it a simple "play another year for us and if you aren't happy you can go" there may be the temptation to be lazy. if it is go to the probowl and lead the team in sacks...i would think that would push him a bit. probably just the fact that some rookie could be showing him up might push him. who knows. it would make sense that brown giving that big effort and seeing a lot of results would make pep's job easier but also force him to produce at a higher level.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
