Derrick Brown slimming down

I'd like to see Brown bounce back this year and if he's showing offseason commitment, that's a good sign.

I like him as a person, but this is why you don't spent a top end pick on a non pass rushing DT...I'm sorry, but that's just my opinion.

That said, that drafts top 10 ain't looking so good.

You need a space-eating DT so the LBs can bring down running backs closer than 12 yards past the line of scrimmage, though.

Joey weighed 269 at the combine, Nick at 266, Garrett at 272.

 

You telling me that all of them are playing around 255, after years in the NFL?

He said "6 of the top 8 pass rushers" in the very same post you quoted.  That presumably excludes Joey Bosa and Myles Garrett.  So the only one you may have contention with is Nick Bosa.

Joey and Miles are the two that are not within the weight range of BB. Funny you picked those names specifically. 

Nick mentioned in a presser he played at 264 range last year. I see that as being close to BB. If you dont then fine. 5 out of the top 8 rushers in the league are at or less than BB's weight.

I looked up the ones who I can tell are just larger looking on the tv than Burns, didn't look up the others.

Rhule is "hoping" that he can stay at that weight...end of the day, while Burns may turn out to be a great pass rusher, he's likely never going to be a great DE...just is what it is.  The guy likely plays between 245-255, if I had to guess.  In a 3/4, he likely has more success as an OLB rather than a hand in the dirt player.

I understand football, what I don't see are many space eating DT's in the league worth a top 10 pick.

Fairly simple here.  Fat does not equate to strength.  Let's say Derrick Brown lost 20lbs of fat but added 15llbs of muscle netting a total of 5 lbs weight loss....IMO much better then just 20lbs of fat without 5lbs of weight loss.

He gets pushed around. He needs more beef. Compare his body to Star’s…there’s a difference IMO

Why do you guys dislike Derrick Brown? He is a very good young player who is playing DT which takes awhile to transition and is constantly graded higher than other players in his class Kinlaw, etc. Also, his grades are above average for all DTs and he has a very strong work ethic to get better. The coaches love him and he has potential to be a monster in this league. Go listen to what other players say about Brown like Brian Burns and those who have played against him. Dude is a stud IMO. He just needs to put it together.

    • Nah you are just haven't watched all of the playoffs....   And im referring the playoffs were hes currently sitting at .895 % and over 3 gaa    But again gotta beat the best.   Those of you who are gonna act like chicken littles before a matchup is even decided lol
    • No, I don't root for drops to be what loses a game, especially from a player who has/had drop issues, as that's not showing improvement. And no, I don't resent it if they win, just as I don't "celebrate" if we lose either.  But I don't get upset if we lose because I know it's for the best for our future, just like I don't go running through the streets celebrating a meaningless December win that doesn't do anything other than hurt our draft stock in a lost season. In a year like last year and this next year, where we've put considerable assets into the offense at the expense of our defense to be fixed later, something both fans and the team themselves know, as you can only add so many players in any given offseason.  Then I'm looking for us to click offensively, have everyone looking better than the year before and show growth.   But then the side of our team we know is a weakness, to be the reason we lose in a high scoring game.  Give me Bryce going down and taking a 2 point lead with 2-3 minutes left in the game, but then our defense almost holding the other team from getting into scoring position and they end up needing a 55 yard FG to win the game and beat us. That can happen while our young defensive players show tons of promise, but still have one or two too many holes and/or just inexperience that it costs us games in the end, but it's still a successful season of growth and improvement. Or even better, just look great on both sides in a close game and end up getting totally screwed by the refs with a bad late call that hands them the game. And again, those are the kinds of things I'm wanting to see happen once it's already a lost season.   And I'm only saying I'd rather not make the playoffs when the alternate scenario is making but losing in the first round. Because those are the scenarios where we improve as a team, get better draft picks, and an easier schedule the next year.  You then use the cap space and higher draft picks to fill the remaining defensive holes with impact players and you're then cooking with gas in that next season and have real potential.
