Y'all think we wanted to get better in goal line and "inches to go".

Dude can straight push most any DT backward...may not be athletic, but he's powerful.

Yep. If nothing else he can be a backup and be used in goalline situations. Hes the only guy in the SEC that could roll with Derrick Brown in 2019. Big D murdered most everybody else, Big De held his own though.

He needs to be at 340 tops--preferably at 330.

At his current weight he'll just get gassed and be way less effective. The exciting thing is that he could be way better stamina and strength wise if he trims down and loses some of the excess fat. I don't think anyone has seen him at his best. I suspect the "team rules" he violated was eating way too much and getting too fat. j/k

Oh wait this is the guy who I was ranting about last year who did well against Derrick Brown! Here is a video made by some British guy that I posted last draft. Might as well post it again. Watch 65! That's our guy versus... our new guy!

Dropped because he was too fat during SR bowl---if ever a year for that---he has lost 20 lbs since. https://www.si.com/college/alabama/bamacentral/alabama-ol-deonte-brown-has-lost-nearly-20-pounds-since-senior-bowl

 

He dropped because he got his lunch ate in 1-on-1 drills at the Senior Bowl against the top athletic D-linemen. I remember his lateral movement was nonexistent.  He will have a hard time picking up loops and stunts.

I am bumping this thread because I listened to Rhule on WFNZ interview and he made my day.  He was talking about specific guys they wanted to target and he specifically mentioned Brown.  

So he wasn’t just an afterthought and hopefully has a role on the team. 

I so hope he makes it.   I would love to see him pancaking guys every Sunday

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
