Flags tend to go away during the playoffs; so the aggressive defenses have an advantage. So I'll take the additional penalties during the regular season -- or if he was smart he'd play a bit softer in the regular season then step it up in the playoffs -- over a soft corner
I don't care if he get flagged as long as he gets the right flags.
If he lays down the wood on a borderline hit(not dirty.. borderline) and gets flagged I'll gladly take it.
If he pushes around the WR a ton on short routes close to 5 yards and gets flagged I'll take it.
If he does a little hold on a WR running a deeper route I he feels he is losing and gets flagged I'll take it.
So I hope he doesn't change a thing about his game.
They'll have to flag him and the team on every single down the offense passes. While I have no doubt Goodell would approve of this and a certain poster here that chokes himself with Goodell's underwear would love it, the officials are not going to do that. They're not going to want their faces on SportsCenter and FS1 the next day for making a mockery out of the game.
Let the flags fly...then compare the flags against the league wide hated Patriots with that of the Denver Broncos...and then SHOW the dozens of penalties that go uncalled in EVERY Bronco game.
Won't change anything but at least Fraudell will have to lie his way out of it like he does everything else.
This is already happening anyway. Do you really think that they are calling all holds ? Generally, only relatively blatant holding calls are made.
Since everything goes within a yard of the LOS I think that Browner will be mostly ok. Of course we will suffer through some flags with him, but I think it will be worth it.
After seeing the ridiculous calls made against our db's on Sunday, I think they are going to have to wheel Browner out there wearing a straightjacket and strapped to a gurney Hannibal Lecter style to appease the refs.
Refs: "OK, Browner. You know the new Manning rules. You may be strapped to this gurney making it impossible to hold anyone, but if we catch you so much as staring at a receiver 5 yards past the line, we're throwing flags."

And they said during the preseason they would go down in the regular season too. Yet they haven't. I'm not so sure they are going to let up in the playoffs.
I think so too, they've shown that they will keep throwing the flags until you stop holding. I think on SNF they put up a chart showing the defensive holding penalties. It was something insane like 94 this year compared to 32 to the same time last year.
It's obvious the league doesn't care, they want points and the refs have been ordered to throw a flag on every play if they need to.
Browner would be ideal matched up against the taller slower WRs, not the small quick speedy guys. I assume that is why he was brought in, to beat up the big WRs and cover them. He is also brutal on the run game; he brings the wood!

. The best way to game the system is to hold on every play. Sooner or later the refs stop throwing flags.
