We only have one issue.. Remove Brown from the roster and we are legitimate contenders.

I will be honest, I actually feel a lot better about the offense after lastnight. Its very very rare that literally a single person can make an entire offensive unit look bad. If you take out Corey Brown from that offense lastnight, this offense looked pretty damn amazing. Cam was hitting Olsen consistently, Cam was hitting guys like Cotchery and Ginn on point in the underneath routes to move the chains, our run game came somewhat alive with that nice run by Stewie as well as CAP and Fozzy getting decent carries. 

Even with the atrocious play by Corey Brown, Cam completed 60% of his passes, 146 yds and 1 TD in just a half and a series in the 3rd qtr.  Shula even showed with the Tolbert dump pass that he might even know how to get redzone TDs without KB.

I think the mind numbing drops combined with the boos from the crowd really made the offense look terrible. I GUARANTEE if say Boykin or Funchess would have been out there in place of Brown, Cam's stat line would have been something like 64% completion, over 200 yds and 2 TDs. No way on earth Funchess or Boykin would have had those drops. Just no way. 

So why should we be thankful Brown looked so bad?! Because, we now know that A. We can run the ball, for the most part. B. Cam is accurate and has improved. C. Olsen still an all pro. D. Cotch and Ginn are reliable targets E. Shula might just know what to do in the redzone now and F. Our O line is the best it has been in years. 

We should be thankful because we literally only have one issue with this offense, and its Corey Brown, and you can easily fix that issue by cutting him and replacing with Boykin/Funchess. Before, it use to be we had many glaring issues.. Now we literally have one, Corey Brown, and he will be replaced.

we know we can run the ball? We haven't done it all preseason with the 1s.

Cam still is Cam.  Money for chunks, then the odd ball

If Cotchery and Ginn are your 1 and 2 all season it will be a long year (and I like Ginn but he should be a 3-4 at best

They aren't removing brown. The coaches and players obviously believe in him. He'll remain a 1 into the season.  I really wish Boykin would get some plays with the first string though..  Just to see

I think Boykin can really be a spark for us if he gets consistent reps with Cam and the 1's I think he can be something special.

if he plays this bad in the next game, I dont see how they keep him out there, hes not even a veteran, hes a UDFA that just so happened to show flashes last year, why he is untouchable is beyond me

I uunderstand, and I don't disagree. But Rivera's comments last night pretty much told me that brown isn't being benched anytime soon

Stupid.

27 rushes for only 84 yards isn't a problem? 3.1 average. 

1 sack by our DL? Nope, no problem.

 

Corey had a terrible game (s) but it'd just dumb to think he's the one holding the team back. Shula is still a huge problem, run blocking is still a huge problem, slow starts is still a problem. The fact that Brown was repeatedly open is a HUGE plus, he just needs his confidence back and he'll be fine.
