Now THAT is bad. Not that it seemed to matter all that much yesterday that he was on the field. I just hope we can go back to a 4-3 next season. This 3-4 has never worked for us and Brown would be so much better in a 4-3 imo. It’s not like we have some stellar 3-4 personnel or anything we’ve basically never had a true 3-4 nose and surprise surprise we’ve never been able to stop the run.

It worked when Capers was our coach. But you have to have the LB's suited for it. Unfortunately, the current team doesn't.

Not surprising even one little bit.  I felt that our odds for a significant injury were higher because we bubble wrapped the team in the preseason.  They went from playing completely guarded football to full contact high violence with no on ramp.

    • Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.  
    • I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.  
    • Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
