Brayton

[charlottenian]

Brayton Johnson combo is better than the Rucker McClover combo hands down... we are in good shape with those two

i think it says a lot about him that every time he makes a play, myself and everyone around me goes "what the fug?"

[mountainpantherfan]

Johnson and Brayton have been playing really good as of late. Lewis has also been playing better and Peppers and Kemo have been rock steady. This defensive line might have more talent on it than anyone thought. Add on some more depth and both lines could be in place for some time to come.

[pantherclaw]

The line play has been improving.

Hope Kemo isn't gone to long.

I found this on a Raider's forum when I did a Google search for "Tyler Brayton" combine:

Posted in the draft room a few weeks ago:

I saw a mock that had us taking Tyler Brayton in round one so I did a little research.

From Mr. Murder: "Post their cone drill quick twitch times, best way to determine their burst/direction change quickness..."

Tyler had the 2nd fastest cone drill time, 7.13, after Antwan Peek of all DE's.

2-27-03 Ran 4.67 in the 40... at 6-foot-6, 267 pounds... also did 25 reps of 225 pounds... this has been one of our personal favorites all season... (His max is 435)

1-13-03 plays hard... gets upfield... improved run defender and tackler... has the best upside of any defensive lineman at this year's game... needs to add some weight before the Combine... 265 pounds currently... an impressive Combine could move him into the mid-to-late second round...

1-09-03 Colorado DL Tyler Brayton has been very strong so far... he has a long, lean frame... strong upper body and hands... can play inside or out... moving up with this week's performance...

1-08-03 Colorado DL Tyler Brayton has played mostly at LDT... but has also moved out to DE in 1-on-1 drills... he whipped several opponents on Tuesday... showing impressive all-around skills... his status is on clearly on the upswing...

1-07-03 East-West Shrine Game: Colorado DL Tyler Brayton may end up being the top-rated player at this game... he has a non-stop motor... very intense... tipped a punt on special teams... and chased the play down on two occasions... despite being in just shoulder pads and shorts...

He's also smart and not a head case from what I've read.

All of it seems spot on, from what I've seen so far this seen. He does have a non-stop motor and has been making some plays.

I found his 40 time interesting. He's listed at 280 now, I wonder if he still has the same quickness...

Watch Brayton on a run play. The way he moves down the line while not overpursuing is clinical. Its probably the most underratted thing a DE does but it is also one of the most important and Brayton is VERY good at it.

[RabidCat]

I talked a lot of sh*t about this guy earlier in the season, but he has really been playing well lately.

...I did too.

....and I agree, he has shut me up lately. Blindsite was right, it took time for him to get back into the flow at DE. He has been exceptional.

I like that now that there's a threat on the other side (as it seems now) Pep is getting a lil more free, and a lil closer to the QB as of late as well.

the Oline and the Dline have been doing well. Now.. to get a few kinks knocked out of other places and we'll be on a roll.

Brayton is all over the place tonight. I apologize to you sir.

As a closet Raider fan I thought he was worthless the only thing he was known for was kneeing Jeremey Stephens in the nuts, people didn't realize the rematch was on MNF but damn he was awesome that first drive.

[SCpanther]

Didn't want to create a new thread on Brayton because I remembered this one. Anyway, I just noticed that the guy has a sack in each of the last 3 games. It's good to see that he's coming on strong going into the playoffs.

I'm sorry... but I still think that was funny. He handled him like a rag doll

[PanthersAlv]

He's 1.5 sacks away from matching his CAREER total of sacks before come'n to the Panthers.

He has 2.5 in '03 and the same in '04 then 1 in '05... none in '06-'07. that's 6 total.

He's got 4.5 sacks this season.

This is technically his best season career wise.

8 more tackles and he'll get the 2nd most of his career as well.

The most tackles in a season was his first with 61... He'd need to make 25 tackles to get that career high topped.. LOL and I know he's gotten better.. but no... not that much better. LOL

[rubberpantz]

OMG career!!!

sorry...that was driving me crazy
