I'm going to assume we've all been viewing the team through the same lens these past few years. Soooo the thing that has INFURIATED me the most, undoubtedly, is the inability to collapse a pocket without a blitz.  We just couldn't. You would watch our defense and they were push backed by OLs repeatedly.  Love, Addison, Short, Obada, retreads, whoever the heck it was, we just weren't getting it done. Like, at all.   

We just made a GINORMOUS step by selecting a guy who can legitimately play every single spot on a line, in even and odd fronts.  Just watch this guys work.  he brings it every snap, he mauls. 

At 6'5 325, Brown brings a size that many DTs are "boom/bust" types but he's the most well rounded, agile and large specimen combo I've seen on the DL I've seen in years.   

It was known how much he led the Auburn defense, on and off the field.  Coaches loved him, players loved him, players listened to him. 

So with Burns going into year 2, Kerr and Weatherly coming in as rotation, we've now added Derrick Brown.

High floor, high ceiling. 

This monster is in the mix:

3-reasons-Carolina-can_t-afford-to-pass-

Feel good folks.  Simmons is just some OLB.

Ignorant needless statement. You lost credit at that point

I agree. Its not the sexy pick, but I'd love to have this guy on my side of the ball. Watching him play in a division where the winner could come and beat the bottom 5 teams in the NFL, he flat out dominated. This dude is All American, soon to be All-Pro. The fact that makes it cemented is the guys motor is matched by his mental. He leads, he learns and he eats. 

 

Make no mistake, Luke left a VOID. And this is just the first step to filling that hole.

I'm just trying to put in context our biggest arguable issue these past 3 years.  We couldn't put consistent dents in lines and quickly to rattle these younger mobile QBs.  This is just a super solid pick.  All good things dudes and dudettes.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
