Roster/Depth Chart

[Guild]

Starting RE will be determined in training camp / preseason I bet. My prediction is Johnson starts and rotates out on some passing downs to allow brown to come in fresh for the edge rush at RE.

Johnson vs. Brayton vs. Brown should be an interesting preseason battle.

I also am interested in how Hardy and Norwood are going to fit into this.

Norwood will be the backup SLB and a beast special teamer until passing downs when he will replace Charles Johnson at LE.

Norwood will be the backup SLB and a beast special teamer until passing downs when he will replace Charles Johnson at LE.

Johnson has shown to be a fairly decent pass rusher in his limited playing time. If any DE on our roster was currently ready to be an every down guy, it would be him.

Charles Johnson without a doubt is our best pass rusher.

[Carl Spackler]

According to NFL Network Clausen is #2 on the depth chart.

Need a Special Teams Depth Chart. Since some players are going to make the team because they're better at special teams than actually being better than a #3.

I expect that we will find a way to keep Brayton, Johnson and Brown on the field on passing downs. Like last year either Brayton or Johnson will move inside while Brown comes in on the edge. I don't think it will be either or but how to get all the best players on the field at the same time.

I could see a 3rd down line up like Brown, Brayton, Johnson, Norwood. Or Brown, Irvin, Johnson, Norwood.

[Ricky Spanish]

that's a lot of blue

[panthers55]

I could see a 3rd down line up like Brown, Brayton, Johnson, Norwood. Or Brown, Irvin, Johnson, Norwood.

I think it will end being Brayton, Louis, Johnson, Brown. Norwood won't likely see the field much this year. Few rookies on the defensive line make any kind of impact their first year.

[DaCityKats]

Hardy sees the field this year, he has to if he stays healthy.

[WSBpanthers]

That list gives me hope. I see Brayton ahead of Johnson though

I agree Brayton over Johnson
