Levi Brown out (AZ LT)

[Happy Panther]

Damn Star is big

The guys at PFF told me that Nate Potter might be starting at LT:

@RapSheet @PFF So who plays LT for the Cardinals now? I need my Panthers front 4 to have a big game Sunday.

@PFF: Team site has Nate Potter listed as 2nd string.

@PFF Do you guys know anything about him? He started last year for 6 games. Any #PFF grades?

@PFF_Khaled:-10.6. Rookie seventh rounder starting rarely goes well at LT. Good match up on paper for Greg Hardy.

One thing about starting a little-used backup is that they have almost no game film for the defense to analyze for tendencies. That can work against us.

If Potter starts they have 6 games from last year.

Oh, goodie.

Oh, goodie.

That's enough to see tendencies. Although he was a rookie so he's undoubtably improved.

Cardinal fans are pretty happy on their forum. I wouldn't throw a parade so soon. This is the title on their forum about the trade. 

 

 

Lets Party Arizona: Levi Brown traded to Pittsburgh

Their guys get paid just like our guys and nothing is for sure until they start snapping the ball on Sunday. Hopefully Hardy can take advantage of the situation.

Its ironic that a guy named Levi ends up in Pittsburgh, the jean short capital of the universe.

Palmer is probably pissed and scared.. the Cardinals are looking to the future while Carson is scared of Sundays

[KendrickPanther]

This is a chance for a young guy to either sink or swim. The one thing I will say for our Dline is they have a killers mentality. They don't play down to competition.

Cardinals fans are elated apparently. This guy was overpaid and underperformed.

 

 

Levi Brown has been laughably bad since he was drafted. Not only that, he hasn't progressed at all. I'm guessing the reason he was slotted as the starter is because we gave him a new, huge contract. That and being a first round pick pretty much forced us to play him.

 

However, we picked up another LT off waivers this week to replace Brown. I honestly believe that Brown needs a change of scenery, and the Cardinals needed to shake up the line. I truly believe that we would've beaten the Rams, and sit 3-1, if we had another LT. He's that bad. He constantly gets beaten by speed rushers, can't pick up a stunt, and gives up on plays once he's beaten. His "he played ok" games can be compared to other LT's piss poor games. By playing "ok" it means he only let one sack happen, missed 2 key blocks, and received 2 penalties. His bad games? Holding calls on key plays with big drives, false starts on key drives, 2+ sacks allowed, etc.

 

I know I'm bagging on the guy, but he's been awful here. I wish him the best on the Steelers. Maybe this will be a wake up call for him, and he'll play a lot better. I highly, highly doubt it though. Steeler fans expect at least 2 holding calls, a false start, and a sack each game from him. That's typical.

Sounds like the Byron Bell of LTs
