Derrick Brown

That one play where he literally just shoved the LG for the Dolphins completely out of the blocking lane then sacked Tua was pretty filthy. Guy is insanely strong and insanely smart with his hand placement to shed blocks.

He is definitely a big reason why our run defense looks better

Reminds me a lot of Star. Doesnt get a lot of sacks but is a game wrecker in the middle. 

He doesn't get a lot of sacks because the dude is double teamed every play

Fair. But by how much? Not sure we will really know until after the Jets.

Well, we have definitely improved from allowing like 300 rushing yards a game to a much lower amount

Oh I understand that. Star was double teamed a lot as well. Thats why he reminded me a lot of Star. He made a lot of impact eating double teams every play even though the stat sheet didnt necessarily show it with sacks.

We’re not last so yes it’s an improvement

2024:
- last in EPA/play
- next to last in EPA/pass
- next to last in EPA/rush
- last in QBP rate

2025:
- 22nd in EPA/play
- 18th in EPA/pass
- 16th in EPA/rush
- 3rd to last in QBP rate

Where's the guy from a few weeks back saying Derek Brown was a JAG and not worth his salary?  

What can Brown do for you?

Throw offensive linemen like he's playing Cornhole.

Beast.

Was he Hurn-dogg's final parting gift to us? I'll give credit where it's due, Hurney was too dumb to overthink those top ten picks.

Most of Hurney's picks weren't actually top-ten.

Top-ten picks

• Julius Peppers (2nd, 2002)
• Jordan Gross (8th, 2003)
• Cam Newton (1st, 2011)
• Luke Kuechly (9th, 2012)
• Christian McCaffrey (8th, 2016)
• Derrick Brown (7th, 2020)

Not top-ten picks

• Chris Gamble (31st, 2004)
• Thomas Davis (14th, 2005)
• DeAngelo Williams (27th, 2006)
• Jon Beason (25th, 2007)
• Jonathan Stewart (13th, 2008)
• Jeff Otah (19th, 2008)
• DJ Moore (24th, 2018)
• Brian Burns (16th, 2019)

It's really, really hard to find a franchise with such sustained first-round excellence though. Gettleman and especially Fitterer were absolutely terrible in the 1st
