Are we content with what we're getting from Derrick Brown

[bigdog10]

I feel like our run defense is drastically improved over the last six weeks. Have to think he is a major reason why. 

[TheCasillas]

Great draft pick. High upside, and already showing growth week to week. Not often you see a rookie double teamed week to week

[JawnyBlaze]

Absolutely. Guys like this are the lynchpin of a defense. That’s why when Star left our defense started going to poo.  A DT doesn’t have to be a pass rusher to be worth a top ten pick.  Brown is easily living up to his draft position. 

[BrizzMachete]

I’m worried about him not cause he isn’t up to par but because he was a top ten pick and halfway thru he has zero sacks . But he gonna be a stud nt just feel like he can be better i seen him do it before

Production doesn't always show up in the stat columns

If you a top ten d line all they gone judge you by is sacks you know that . He’s been very productive but i still see room to grow . 

[LinvilleGorge]

Imagine our DL without Brown. Yeah...

[pantherdad]

I think with a full off-season program and a good training camp he will be five times better

Exactly this. Scary. 
 

Also, I wish the refs would stop hawking him for defensive holding and calling it even when it’s not there. 

[onmyown]

Yea as a rookie and a top pick he is on track. Strong and commands attention. I see no problem here.

Hard to judge a bunch of young guys but we are one dominate edge rusher away from a decent dline IMO. 

[LinvilleGorge]

I think we got two absolute lynchpins on the defense for years to come in Brown and Chinn. I wouldn't be shocked if YGM becomes a third.

[PantherPhann89]

I'm happy with Brown and his production in the given situation. Kwann Short didn't become KK until a space eater named Star Lotulelie was put beside him...

[Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D.]

Let's be real, I am just happy to have a DT that isn't perpetually injured. 

[Jorgie]

hell yeah the dudes gonna be a cornerstone of this defense for the foreseeable future.

i hope we go all defense heavy next year too and shore up that side of the ball for the next five years. if we land the linebacker from penn state you could color me pink.

some additional help to the dline, secondary and TE via draft and free agency and were rockin and rollin
