“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.

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.

      Canes vs Canadians Gm 2 Rd 3 7pm

      I have no doubt the Canes will come out like gangbusters, huge bounce back from game one - my only concern is Freddie, if he lets in a couple of softies and Dobes stays hot we could be in trouble.
