Kris Jenkins was a Fugging monster.

When he was motivated. Problem was he was rarely in good shape and disappeared for series at a time. His motivation was often suspect. I think he largely wasted his talent.

Thing is, is NT the position he should be playing? He seems to be a lot better at getting to the Qb than stopping the run.

 

also if the info we got is true and the coaching staff told Brown to lose weight because he was going to be a pass rusher then when the season started they wanted him to be a nose tackle then our coaching staff really screwed him over.

A nose tackle isn't the same in body style or function in a 3-4 versus a 4-3.  A nose tackle in a 4-3 which is what we largely run has to be able to sit down and take on a double team in a running situation while also being able to collapse the pocket internally against the pass. Brown has both the size to hold his block but the speed and athleticism to collapse the pocket.

True but if that rumor is true I think it had an effect on him.

It is called a rumor for a reason.

Considering Jenkins had Buckner beside him, Peppers and Rucker on the end, I’m surprised he didn’t have more sacks. But you are correct about his injuries. They also said peppers disappeared in games and took plays off. Imagine if Jenkins was in better shape?

MCCall is going to get better as the year progresses. Think he is going to be a steal.

Derrick Brown has been shutting people up on this board in weeks 2 & 3, happy for him

The Brown slander this offseason never made sense to me.  It takes awhile before DTs come into their own, unless they are can't-miss, HOF-level prospects like Suh and Donald.

Is it me or has Brown played really well this year? I noticed today he was making a lot of plays and getting to the Qb and doing important things that doesn’t always show up in the stat sheet. Problem is I don’t think he’s a NT.

he followed up what I though was the best game of his career vs the giants with an even better game yesterday. if he isn't an NT what is he then?
