Reed: Meeks/Brown could be match made in Heaven.

Meeks, who replaced Mike Trgovac this off-season, helped develop Robert Mathis (6-2, 245) and Dwight Freeney (6-1, 268) into star NFL defensive ends while in Indianapolis. Like Mathis, Brown is considered a little undersized for a 4-3 defensive end, coming to Carolina with a 6-foot-2, 256-pound frame, although the team believes he can add size and muscle mass.

Freeney has 70.5 sacks in eight seasons with the Colts and has been to four Pro Bowls. Mathis, who lines up opposite him at left end, had 53.5 sacks in six seasons.

"It's encouraging," Brown said. "That's one of the things I looked at when I looked at teams coming out. I looked at coaches and I’d see what kind of style they want, what is their philosophy and what kind of players they want to bring in.

“Definitely coach Meeks in Indianapolis, his guys knew how to get after the passer. They weren't the biggest guys, but you turn on the film they were 100 miles per hour until the echo of the whistle. That's the way I played at Florida State and that is the way I'm going to continue to play. I think I've walked into the best possible situation for me."

What else I like is that Brown seems to know a bit about Meeks' past, which means he might be a football junkie. I like that in a player. It isn't NECESSARY to have that to be great (see guys like Curtis Martin), but I like it.

orrrrrrrr you could be donovan mcnabb and not even know the overtime rules

Let's just slow down and be reasonable for a moment...

We've gotten a glimspe of John Fox's loyalty screwups in the past...and offensively last year he finally broke the mold in getting Otah/Stewart into the mix immediately. How many years were were tormented with watching Morgan make yet another attempt to come back...paid insane money...while letting Spoon go off and be a stud for another team. Deshaun Foster...another example. Hampton. Goings. Like someone said...hopefully this new D-coordinator shakes things up and is willing to try stuff out like our O-coordinator did last year with the rooks.

Morgan was never paid insane money.

Morgan was never paid insane money.

Up until the final contract that was a pay/play kind of contract...if you look at time spent letting brain heal vs. what he was paid. Money was thrown away that could've been used to just keep Spoon.

Said all along MEEKS is the key to this season and why Peppers is still hanging around

Meeks can be another Del Rio

Take controll of the Defense

And like the Colts , Panthers are a little weak at D T

So Meeks should feel right at home

But unlike the Colts

Panthers have better talent at most of the other positions

    • Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando. 
    • As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.
    • You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
