Not discrediting anything, but we believe in PFF now?

 

He’s noticeable on the field. He’s making plays and you can see him dominate. He’s really grown this year. Up until this season he was looking like a bust. To be fair I think you need to give a player 3-4 years to adapt to the nfl. Some people just take longer adapting.

I have always thought he caught way too much flack.

Often, lineman are not stand outs in games, offense or defense.

Of course, there are freaks like Aaron Donald but for the most part, you never finish a football game and say "(insert lineman name) was REALLY on fire today!"

I've gone into more detail about this in other Brown threads before.

When I watch the games, Brown is now constantly double teamed on pass and run plays.  That tells me he is doing what he should be doing.  When one defender commands two players, it puts your defense at an advantage.  If you can force the offense to double team two of your players - here's looking at you Burns - the rest of your defense will look great.

This team has the makings of our 2015 defense if we can just get the right coaching in place and fix our LBers.

This was a critical year for Brown. If he didn't make a jump this year, I just wouldn't expect him to make it.

He took longer than expected but maybe he finally figured it out and we will have our DT star for a while.

I think it will get even better when we have a scheme that suits him more.

I agree, but I also feel like it took longer due to coaching and the fact that he was the only DL over 260lbs his rookie year. It was like D. Carr's rookie year with the Texans! Welcome to the NFL rookie every single snap!

This entire message shows me that you have not watched any tape on Derrick Brown this year. Teams are LITERALLY running away from him.... you can go see that in the 3 weeks of research that I used my personal time to share with you all.

 

4th best DT in the league and you use the word "serviceable"

So, why do teams keep running up the middle? First play Rams went with was a run directly at Brown for a 3 or 4 yard gain.

Teams go after Brown on 3rd and long with running plays with a high rate of success in converting 3rd and long 1st downs. I think you have just chosen to watch a few plays you like.

How many lanes do you think a single DT fills?  Do you really think the DTs job... by their lonesome, is to eat up a hole and tackle the ball carrier?

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
