What do you all expect from him this year..I think with a good TC and preseason he takes Braytons spot

"It was a numbers game," said Beason, also in his third season with Carolina. "You had a proven veteran in Mike Rucker who was still here and obviously a freak in Julius Peppers. There wasn't much room for him as a rookie. But it allowed him to get experience and maybe a chip on his shoulder to rebound and show what he can do.

"I look for him to be a household name this year."

Johnson managed 30 tackles and 19 quarterback hurries last season while playing mostly on passing downs. He'll now have to learn to defend the run and get a feel for Meeks' new system, which calls for more pursuit and running to the ball.

And Johnson insisted he's not worrying about the Peppers stalemate.

"I'm getting more reps," Johnson said. "You never know what's going to happen."

If Peppers come back and plays then Johnson may move back to left end and fight it out with Brayton for the starting role. It will depend on which one of them is more stout against the run. If Johnson can hold his own against the run, he probably has an advantage pass rushing. On the other hand if he struggles they may decide to do what they did last year, start Brayton on first and second down and move him inside when Kemo goes out and bring Johnson is on third downs. Either way both will get their opportunities since with Meeks' high energy system, there will lots of rotations and everyone will play quite a bit. I doubt we will see one guy take all the snaps given Meeks values a high motor and constant pressure.

Brown and Johnson could be a nice combo.. if Hilee Taylor can show improvement in his sophomore year, we might have something w/o Peppers..

but obviously i want Pep back..

i agree i think we will be fine without peppers..with johnson brown and taylor and brayton

I could definitely see Johnson standing out and starting by mid-season, if not earlier... We may have our 2 starting DE's for years to come in Johnson and Brown.... Certainly, that would be the goal...

I think Brayton is gonna be hard to knock off. He has very good improvement from the first part of the season to the second. IMO our Starting DEs would be Johnson on the Right and Brayton on the Left when camp begins. If peppers comes back its gonna be a hard fought battle between Him and Johnson but IMO Brayton would win.

Get off the crack. Peppers wouldn't even have to try to win that job. I like Brayton just fine, but if Peppers is on the team, he's playing, Brayton will have to try to win the other side, period. You really think the Panthers are going to pay a backup 16.7 million?, really... :lol:

You know, I could be wrong, but I believe he meant that if Peppers comes back then there will be a hard fought battle between Johnson and Brayton for the other starting spot.

But that's just a guess though...

I'm pretty sure he meant b/t Johnson and Brayton, meaning Peppers came back and pushed Johnson back to the left.

ok thats what he just said ^^^ my bad

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
