He's dominant. He has become everything we thought we were getting in the draft - basically prime Kris Jenkins without the conditioning issues.

Kris Jenkins had seven sacks in 2002, and that’s against not a lot of pass attempts for obvious reasons. he had five the following year. 

Jenkins was a pass rush monster before he got hurt in 04. Brown is great but he’s not that.

Brown has 3 sacks through 7 games. That has him tracking to match Jenkins' career best 7 sacks.

We’ll see. We’re playing real teams now, and anyway it’s hard to compare across eras. 

2002 was like first team to 8 wins. 

watching guys like Randy Fasani go out there in foot deep mud.

They're similar in that rushing the passer really isn't their forte. They can impact the pass rush by collapsing the pocket and opening up opportunities for others and sometimes get the sack themselves but sacking the QB isn't what either does best. Jenkins also had the benefit of having MUCH better edge rushers who prevented the QB from escaping the pocket to the outside. Rookie Peppers had 12 sacks on one side and Rucker had 10 on the other.

I honestly put them roughly equal as pass rushers. They're not sack monsters but they definitely impact the QB.
