Kansas City is trading its first-round pick Thursday night, along with three other picks in the 2021 and 2022 drafts, to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for Pro Bowl OT Orlando Brown and one pick in the 2021 draft and another in 2022, per sources.

Proper setup technique and good footwork fundamentals can help a lot. There are a lot of guys less athletic than Brown who do a better job of not getting beaten off the edge.
What about Switching Thuney and Brown?
Thuney has the footwork to protect the edge, Brown won't get beaten inside. [Reply]

Yup, he was Not getting this beat off the edge when he was with the Ravens. In a interview this year he said he had to relearn his technique, The Andy Heck way and he has totally regressed under his tutelage. [Reply]

I'm all for firing Andy Heck, and wanted him gone for years, but Brown's combine numbers suggested he wasn't athletic enough to pass-block at the NFL level, and that appears to be the case. [Reply]
The only way he could be worse is if he faced the opposite direction and rushed Patrick along with the defender.
Post of the year nomination goes to Rain Man. Hahahaha
The guy is just not a fit for this football team at tackle.
Send him back to Baltimore for a 3rd right now. Fuck it. Throw Niang in at LT and let Tanoh-Wego... Winnebago whatever the fuck his name is, be the swing guy. [Reply]
