Big issue with Brown is he's just going to have to face quick DEs and high end ones game after game, especially in the division. I never understood the excitement for a guy that was a run game specialist but last year I was largely pleasantly surprised. Now, I'm back to when we traded, and pretty glad we didn't pay him.
He's not even a good run blocking LT this year. He is the biggest problem on the OL. Next is RT. Both are bad. I think Smith works it out when healthy. [Reply]
OL’s been disappointing, but I think people are overreacting a little. This was widely considered one of the best lines in football and they have another year of experience. They didn’t just wake up one day and collectively suck. I think Smith is probably hampered by injury and needs to sit. Wylie we all knew is mediocre. Brown is the problem, if there is one. But I’d imagine he’ll get it together like he did last year. Regardless, they shouldn’t give him big money. It would be ridiculous to let Hill go and then give a boatload to an average at best tackle. [Reply]

Yeah, he is. On a snap by snap basis, Wylie is holding up better than Brown, especially this past week. And let's not even talk about how they're being compensated for how they're playing.
Wylie is an inconvenience. Brown is an emergency. [Reply]
