What do we think of Brian Baldinger's nickname for Derrick Brown, El Toro The Bull?

Just really noticed it. I don't think its bad. Will it stick?

Sidenote: I love baldies  breakdowns... look forward to them every week they get me hype for the future of this young defense. He is also very high on Obada.

Baldinger seems one of the few talking heads on tv who truly loves the game, does great analysis that is on target and not mostly BS.  To me, this earns him the right to hand out some nicknames. I hope this one sticks because on top of his great analysis, I think it's a pretty good nickname.

You starting to warm up to Brown yet?

I mean my opinion is the same. He will always be a good player because of his strength. Great at the point of attack. I don't think he will every impact the passing game at an elite level because that's not his game. He is a more one dimensional guy which if your not routinely getting to the passer thats expensive for a top 7 pick.

Hard to hate a guy that is dominate in one aspect of what he does so it a push for me. He's like Shaq Thompson to a degree. He isn't a bad player at all but is he the big nickel defender that was suppose to shut down tight ends? Did we over pay for shaq? Yes. Hes a starter tho.

    • I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.
    • From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"
    • Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
