Well Number 91 Everett Brown Showinfg why we took him first. I think he needs to get lower, but for all fairness. I think awesome draft pick, even got a sack and a smile out of MR. Peppers.

On the good side he played with energy and kept trying. But what I saw was why I don't oount on rookie DEs to start right away. He has a lot to learn and was largely handled by the second string tackles. He got his sack against fourth stringers. So far he is where I thought he would be. A long way from being a starter.

English teachers are face palming everywhere.

Also, I'm not sure about how he'll do yet. He's just so small. He's got strength, and I do love the fact that for the first time Peppers has a young player to mentor. I think that might make him happy. He has potential, he adds a step to his speed when he hits the corner and we have a vicious combo.

yeah he needs a step on the corner, but that is what they talked about when he was signed. they said that he needs to work on his stutter step. So nothing we didnt already know. Got to tell himself to keep going not to think about it.

I didn't like what I saw... To have all the hype about him in camp talking about how quickly he was picking things up and how great he was performing, I didn't see much of that tonight.

He used the spin or double spin move pretty much every play, and it only worked once late in the game on a scrub OT. When he was going up against there 2nd round OT Beatty, he was thoroughly getting handled from what I saw. Repeated spin moves, tried to bull rush and nothing worked. Didn't see the quick first step, perhaps because he wasn't using it...

He can't shed blocks very well. Once the OT got his hands on him, he was done. A lot of this was because he does not use his lack of height to his advantage and use any leverage. He appears to be coming in way too high. I just expected to see more out of him because of all the kool-aid being stirred up from camp. Disappointed overall.

    • Or just don't be an ass and hang out in the left lane. Just use common courtesy. The people who tailgate and be an ass are no better and its not a surprise that a lot of road rage incidents occur when inconsiderate people and assholes cross paths. Just make an effort not to be either. "Not allowing the bully to bully you" is also being an inconsiderate ass to the people behind the "bully" who would also like you to GTFO of the left lane.
    • It was completely disgusting and the most obvious fix I’ve ever witnessed. Deflating. It’s probably gone on for decades but high def TV has truly outed the egregious ‘officiating’. When was the last time a small market team was allowed to win a SB?  Offensive holding is it, and it’s so predictable. 2nd and 7 turns in to 2nd and 17. Defense pins their ears back, covers the slot guy and TE roaming the middle, and watches for the WR/RB screen. D line needs to maintain gap integrity. The deep shot to the WR down the sideline is a low percentage play so no real worry there. Most average O lines won’t be able to convert.  Loser getting too close to FG range in a close game? Holding. Winner needs a short field? Holding. DCs love them some obvious passing downs. Narrows down the playbook and significantly puts the odds in their favor. Put a team in 2nd/3rd and long all day and they are NOT going to win that game. It would be interesting to do a statistical analysis of the relationship of holding calls and game outcomes.  This is where having skill position people that can go yard on any given play is so valuable. 
    • It can still be enjoyable.  I don't think the players are in on it.  I mean, I think they probably understand the "business" but they are trying.  So it's fun to watch them.  But I admit I'm not even close to emotionally invested as I was before the SB50.  It also just happens it's usually on a Sunday and I don't have much going on anyway.  I really think it's just one head ref that can push a game the way he wants it from instructions from the man upstairs.  Why else do they keep bad refs?   I don't think it always works out when they try to push the game though but more often than not it works.  Sometimes a team can beat the refs and the opposing team but it's rare.
