“Our D-line coach (Brian Baker) wants us to be versatile and play both sides,” Brown said. “In college I probably played 90 percent of my plays on the right side, so I’m no stranger to it. It’s definitely going to help in the long run. When teams are trying to game plan against you it helps when they don’t know what side you’re coming from.”

Otah said he’s impressed with what he’s seen from Brown.

“He’s not as big as our other defensive ends but he’s real fast,” Otah said. “And he’s not a weak guy. He has this unexpected strength.”

In the meantime Brown is preparing for both, learning the techniques that come with each position

Would be nice to switch him and Peppers around to confuse some offenses.
both from the same side? that could be scary.

i do like what otah said about him..."unexpected strength". i'm thinking a lot of OTs are going to be shocked by this guy.

I just can't wait to see this guy play, he may not have a full grasp of how to deal with NFL linemen for another year or so but he seems like such a hard worker it makes me think he may adapt a bit quicker than most.

The things that have impressed me about Brown so far, is that he seems to be very intellegent and he has a great attitude to go along with his natural talent. We'll see what happens, but that's a pretty darn good combination to start with.

Exactly. He reminds me a lot of Michael Strahan in a way, both about the same size with a LOT of different pass rush moves. Also both were very strong for only being in the 250lb range.

NOTE: I am not saying he will be as good as him, just that there are similarities.

Brown's personality doesn't lend to fights. Not sure Otah's does either.

Do I think they'll be at each other hard, though? Definitely.

I agree, but add that Spartanburg heat into the equation and anything can happen...

well, otah and brayton got into it last year but i think it was more brayton's getting frustrated with being pulled all over the place and all the holding that otah was doing. otah did punch brayton's helmet in that skirmish, iirc.

      The running back situation....

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      I had everything saved on an old email address and my computer crashed and could not be revived.  I tried reviving it, then stumbled on one I was going to create several years ago...So I am using it instead.  My fault--did not keep the email and forgot password--

      Rasheed Walker for Kris Jenkins Jr.

      By bandu · Posted

      Rasheed Walker for Kris Jenkins Jr.is what i am actually referring to in that particular post  all those #'s you are referring to are athletic #'s & Monroe Freeling had or has an impressive combination of size & raw athletiscm & it has nothing do with his size or athelticsm that is preventing him from being a day 1 starter in the NFL technique is where he struggled at the NFL combine & not only scouts but analysts alike also viewed him as more of a developmental type of player rather than a day 1 starter  go take a look at Will Campbell transition from the SEC to the NFL another first round LT that was drafted #4 overall by the New England Patriot,s.Will Campbell was a three year starter at  LSU & was thought to be one of if not the very best LT's in the SEC  & compare his SEC carrer to his rookie season in the NFL? just because you played good in the SEC at LT does nescarrily mean you are ready to start at LT in the NFL day 1 & or your rookie season  & one last thing i think you are jumping to conclusion & somehow assuming that i do not like Monroe Freeling ?which could not be further from the truth .what i do not like is the idea starting a player who is not ready ...just saying

      I'd 10x rather play the NFC North than NFC West.
