Philly Brown on preparation

Last week I reported Philly Brown was the first player to the practice field. I found him not catching passes, but catching extra punt return reps shot from the punt machine. I wondered if that was the coaches idea, or perhaps his.

 

"That was me, that was me" Philly told me. "I'm always the guy that believes in extra work. Preparation is what helps you perform well in the game."

Philly Brown did not bobble or drop a punt in his debut. He credits the extra reps.

 

"The extra reps helped, just trying to adjust to the NFL punters basically. I just want to show my teammates and everyone else that I am a trustworthy punt returner."

 

An interesting point. The difference between college and pro punters are rarely discussed. The punt machines at practice are able to emulate a booming NFL caliber punts.

 

It is no secret that I have been pulling for Philly Brown since the first days of  training camp. Since then Brown has established himself on the 53 man roster as the starting punt returner. No small accomplishment for an undrafted rookie.

 

I asked him how he felt about his regular season debut.

 

"I think I played well. Played my role well, did well on special teams. The blockers on punt returns made it easy for me."

Still think its awesome how Zod has turned this site into a great news/article site. I feel my presence and posts are like a weight trying to drag it back down to the depths of a PewterReport.

      Very true. I just think in a situation like this, even if the HC is a problem, firing him this early in your #1 overall pick's career is going to end up doing more harm than good.   If you wanted a head start on other HC searches, that's fine, but fire him in Week 14 or something to accomplish that.  Continuity, even with questionable coaching decisions, is better for a rookie than making this change and now having even worse coaches in charge of his development.

      This one isn't me complaining, it's pointing out that we still missed an opportunity, I see them as very different things. I gave the players and coaches their props yesterday, I enjoyed watching that game and enjoying the win.  But those things don't mean that I'm not going to ask questions when I see a stat like this and realize that even in a good win that I was happy with, there were still missed opportunities to help improve our players.
