One thing that concerns me

[Doc Holiday]

I've read, heard and seen nothing about Everrett Brown, if we can't get a pass rush this could be a long season.

I wonder if whoever starts at under tackle(probably Tyler) doesnt do well, will they slide Brayton inside? if they do, we better get some depth at DE, because i dont think any1 wants hilee taylor 2nd string, and possibly 1st if some1 goes down with injury...knock on wood...

LE-Johnson/Hardy

UT-Brayton/Tyler/Irvin

NT-Leonard/Johnson

RE-Brown/Taylor

[KARASMATIC444]

we could put Norwood there in a pinch, i think he could handlle it well or better than Taylor.

I'm concerned that after we go 19-0 in '10, we may not be able to duplicate that success in '11 or '12.

I hope Brown picks it up also by the time tc is over with.

Tyler is actually a really good player. Watch the Kansas City Hard Knocks if you want a reference. Durability will be his issue. Brayton did play on the inside a lot the last 2 years on 3rd downs.

Sorry, it will have to be indisputable visual evidence during the course of a real football game that will convince me of Brown becoming a true NFL DE. He made some plays last season thanks to the double team on Peppers, but he is truly the size of a linebacker and would have been better served playing as an OLB in a 3-4.

The playoff contenders in the NFL year-in and year-out have dominant defensive ends on their rosters or a dominant pass rush. The Carolina Panthers will finish the 2010 season with one of the lowest sack totals in team history and in the league.

By the him adding 10 lbs of weight and increased strength,plus a years experience,Everrett Brown shoud do just fine.

That last line should be posted in the locker room for motivation
