Brown has looked pretty terrible so far, but like supafly said, it's a weird list to make three weeks into the season. Most rookies look bad when they have to jump directly into a pro line-up right after the draft.
"...pretty terrible..." is pretty inaccurate and pretty premature.Brown has looked pretty terrible so far, but like supafly said, it's a weird list to make three weeks into the season. Most rookies look bad when they have to jump directly into a pro line-up right after the draft.

Playing DT as a rookie is not easy. I recall thinking at various times in 04 Vince looking bad. He was also sketchy in 05 then the moved him backwards to give him more of a line of sight so he could see the other lineman operate and it helped. He was off and running from there.
Brown has not been horrible. He's been very inconsistent. Some good plays and some not so good plays which for me was expected. Vs JAX he was not great. He's been playing about 30% of the snaps. He'll be better at the end of the season. He's too good not to be....just like Vince.
The accuracy is debatable. But I guess my question is this: "If it's 'weird' (your word) to evaluate a rookie 3 weeks in, why did you do it?"It's not inaccurate. Brown has been straight up bullied more times than not when he's out there. I also made a point that it's 'weird' to evaluate a rookie 3 weeks in and pointed out that most rookies will look bad going against vets to start their careers. So, yes, I already mentioned the premature part.

I knew you'd end up apologizing.Holy !@#$, are you serious? Because I'm on a football forum discussing a topic related to Brown's play so far. This list is about players that are looking 'like disappointments' and I straight up said it's too early to say that even if he's played poorly so far. Are you suggesting we pretend he's not out there when he's on the line until his rookie season is over? Talking about how a player has done so far and assessing his future play are completely different.
I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, but you are defensive about something I didn't do.
