Help Transition to 4-3 Scheme
The Panthers will be transitioning to a 4-3 defensive scheme under new head coach Matt Rhule. It’s crucial to have impactful defensive lineman in any scheme but it’s especially important when you’re taking a linebacker out to add to the front line.
In order to ensure the transition is executed properly, adding a disruptive defensive tackle like Brown will help. He was frequently double-teamed by opposing offensive lines at Auburn and will continue to command significant attention in the NFL.
For a defensive line that needs to get the most out of talents like Brian Burns, Stephen Weatherly, Kawann Short, and Yetur Gross-Matos having Brown to set the tone will help. The supporting cast defensive lineman will be able to capitalize on facing easier circumstances, generating greater results as a unit.
The NFC South is a division full of high powered offenses between the New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Atlanta Falcons. Having a disruptive defensive line is essential to compete against those units, especially after the upgrades each has made this offseason.
