Derrick Brown.. Its something about that Bama program where players come out not ready for the pro's or beat up their 1st few years in the league.   

The game is a lot easier when you are on a team with a two deep filled with 4 and 5 star talent. Alabama wins most games by being way more talented than the team in front of them. That rarely happens in the NFL.

Yeah, I think it's that. Football is tougher when you're not better than your team isn't more talented than your opponent at nearly every position.

The margins in college football are usually huge. The margins in the NFL are often minuscule.

This is foolish.. quinnen Williams was much more gifted than brown which is why he went much higher. Brown isn't the same caliber athlete as Williams. Brown might be better as a run stuffer.. but its not that big of a gap in their ability to get to the passer.. williams dwarfs brown in that area.. Give me Williams.

Comparing relative draft position in two different drafts is foolish.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/nfl-evaluators-share-thoughts-on-auburn-draft-prospects/ar-BB128r4d

While he probably won’t go as early in the draft, multiple NFL scouts told AL.com that they think Brown is an even better player than Quinnen Williams was coming out of Alabama last year.

Williams was the No. 3 overall pick in last year’s draft.

“If you want to make comparisons, most people think he’s better than Quinnen because he’s a bigger, more powerful man,” one NFL evaluator said. “And he’s got another year of seasoning under his belt coming into the NFL versus Quinnen who was very young. So I think people believe he’s a little bit more of a sure bet than Quinnen was last year. There aren’t a lot of flaws with him.”

I seen the two compared and it made my brain heat up some. Cause Im not a brown at #7 supporter...... BUT I think he is better than Q.Williams, whom went 3rd overall. I know its a different draft and all, but I thought others would get in discussion on this. Williams did test better, nearly everyone thats been tested has.  It had me like larry david

Everyone talks about how well Quinnen Williams tested, but he basically just ran a fast 40 for a DT. 4.82 is FAST for a DT. But his vertical was only 3.5" higher than Brown's. His broad jump was only 4" longer. Those were the only three drills he did. Meanwhile, Brown is 2" taller and over 20 pounds heavier.

This debate is getting stupid.. 

Ppl just don't want a DT so they make poo up to discredit Brown...

    • The Question
      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By The Question · Posted

      I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.
