The true leader of this team. One of the only things Fhat Rhule did right.

I keep bringing it up.  A lot of people on this board were calling him a bust his second season.   People on here are so quick to give up on a guy who is just getting used to the pro leagues.  Brown's absence last year was the big reason the defense struggled.  He impacts games.

Dude changed the course of the game twice yesterday as a DT.  Freaking amazing!  I'm not sure if he got a game ball or not, but he definitely deserved one.

Yep, not to mention people wanted the guy we picked up on waivers sitting on the practice squad over Brown too.  Conventional draft wisdom is you don't typically draft a DT in the top 10 unless yiou have a generational talent.  Brown was/is and folks refused to see it at the time because of a few low RAS metrics.
