11 tackles but 0 sacks and 3 pass breakups, 2 last week. crazy for a tackle, still a force but the numbers aren't crazy
10 tackles and no sacks, he's more of an anchor than a stat guy. eats double teams so everyone else can eat. panthers are 1-2 but he's still elite imo.
Brown is the kind of interior defender offenses feel before the stat sheet reflects it. He controls gaps, bats balls, creates pressure and makes every linebacker’s job cleaner; Carolina’s entire front is built around that force.
Strengths: 45 run stops, five sacks, seven passes defensed, interior power, disruption, and defensive leadership.
Weaknesses: The defense needs to manage his workload and get enough help around him so offenses cannot simply build every plan around double teams.
