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.

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
