Best news on Derrick Brown

[Peon Awesome]

Well to be fair, Brady said he was the toughest in the SEC specifically. Who's to say he didn't have a tougher time with Simmons in the national championship game.

I believe it. Push up the middle disrupts everything.

Still need another DT to replace Short. He won’t be a Panther for long and has quit playing hard.

Brady and Brees give zero fugs about a push up the middle. 

Not true at all, that is about the only way to disrupt what they do

Hurney didn't think Brown would be there at 7??? Dear God he really is a dolt.

If you can take away the run up the middle it really narrows the offensive playbook

See: 2018 Da'Ron Payne on the Redskins.

The defense was looking elite that season because he was plugging the middle.

And then Alex Smith happened.

You're not very Captain Obvious, the only times we have beaten the Saints is when we can get pressure up the middle and Brees can't throw it quickly. Its the one thing he hates.

Do you even football?

Rhule just said on his conference call that Joe Brady told him the hardest guy to game plan around was..... Derrick Brown.

 

That's pretty impressive.

The moment this was the pick I knew Brady had a part, Brown wrecked that LSU offensive line better than any team. I love the pick.

that's because neither have seen much of it consistently for quite some time.

Drew Brees circa 2014: “pressure up the middle is the one thing I hate.”

He will bring back memories of the days when we had Kris Jenkins!

Considering they litterally had to change their gameplan and triple team Brown (including 2 OL projected in the first 3 rounds this draft) Even though Auburn also had another DT protected in the 2nd round. 

 

Id say, yeah

He's the toughest guy they game plan. They didnt change their game plan vs Clemson and still put up a ton of points.

Sometimes the stats don’t tell the whole story

The Lions were seriously considering taking him.  Word is the front office was split on Brown and Okudah.  Obviously Okudah won out, but Brown was heavily considered.
