And this ain't like Ron, how?

Big, big guy playing in this heat and humidity for a full game might not be the best thing for Brown.

Not sure that's the reason, but it would be a good one and looking down the long, long road to that 17th game... we can let him slide for a few weeks.

Dude played full seasons at Alabama at a heavier weight.

Think Nick Saban wouldn't kill a dude to win a game or two?

this isn't like Ron.  Ron once caught heat for punting on the opponents 35 because he felt being conservative was more important than points.   This is something totally different and new.

Maybe he got winded. I don't know. I am done guessing with this group. This is Norwell sitting behind Amini all over again. 

Not at all. I remember bumping into Norwell when he first got to Charlotte. Huge guy, but athletic, not someone struggling with his weight. He was like Jordan Gross during his time here, chubby around the middle, but only because he needed to be to anchor himself against d linemen. If Deonte still has conditioning issues, then he's a liability, especially if he only plays one position. Hopefully these new sports science guys Rhule uses will get him into game shape fast. 

[Moo Daeng]

He will be active when he is starting. That's the simple case for a one position backup.

[NanuqoftheNorth]

Meh, he's a rookie and there is still a long season ahead.

If Deonte doesn't see the field before mid season that'll be another subject.

Isn’t Matt Rhule an OL expert of sorts?

[CPF4LIFE]

Your starting OL were getting blown into the backfield every play at least brown can hold his ground long enough for a freakin play to develop. They are gonna getting Darnold killed before he has any time to establish himself here. It blows my mind how people on here just accepted them not even trying to protect him. Darnold has injury history, he is nowhere near a iron man.

I've never heard that narrative with Rhule.

he was an assistant OL coach for one season.   

but I don't think that earned him the narrative as an OL expert.   I have never heard it at least.  He has a random coaching year basically everywhere on O or D.   Resume always read like a jack of all trades type guy from a positional perspective.   Which makes sense if your goal is HC.

Wait, hasn't the seahawks offensive line been dog poo? hmmmmmm
