Tyler: Don't sleep on Panthers' new-look D-line

Only you guys could find fault with someone who aspires to prove people like yourselves wrong. :frown2:

Its good to hear. These guys may be inexperienced, but they are young and talented. They seem ready to step up to the plate. not to mention i think they will benefit from an improved offense production. (ie lack of turnovers)

I think we'll be fine. I've personally been waiting for Charles Johnson to get his start cause I think he's going to be a real beast. Brown looked fast too so I'd watch out for him. Brayton isn't spectacular but he has experience and makes few mistakes, he's solid, and has intensity. I want nothing more than our Dline to be improved, after Pep leaves. I can't wait to see all the new guys get their chance and a chip on your shoulder is never a bad thing to have. I can't wait to see Charles Johnson and Dan Connor getting their shots, I think we're going to be very happy with both. I'm not a big Fox fan but I trust him when it comes to defense usually.

And yes, if we have less TO's on the offensive side we'll be instantly better. The defense got tired a lot last year and I think that's one of the big reasons RB's gashed us so much.

eh, my money is on Charles Johnson and Everette Brown having the most impact on our D-Line this season. although, i think having Leonard and Tyler in the middle will definitely help with the run game... it'll be Johnson and Brown who destroy on the outside. all Everette Brown was doing last season was trying to find a way to implement his acceleration off the line skills that he used in College, into the NFL. now that he has a feel for the speed of the game, he can now bounce off that line just like he did in college.
