I'd really like to draft someone in the first round that actually can play NFL football without a 2-3 year development cycle. First round picks are not supposed to need THIS MUCH development.

I can understand teaching them more at the position, but he should be able to at least shed blocks and tackle a RB.

He's been seeing double teams most of the time. He still hasn't played particularly well but it's a little early to jump off the cliff about him. If we are still talking about the same things in Week 14, 15, 16, 17, yeah, it's time to worry.

He can definitely get some guys on skates. Just hasn't really put it together yet. The boneheaded penalties are really frustrating. 

that late hit was some ticky tack poo

If your unhappy with him, you bette be real happy we didn't draft simmons, he can't even crack the starting line up.

I actually thought that was a pretty easy call. The hands to the face call was correct too. The late hit was completely and utterly avoidable. He has to be smarter than that. This isn't the SEC where that poo is going to fly.

In fairness, had we drafted Simmons we wouldn't have any real option other than to start him.

Like the same Late hit  later in the game that Tampa did with no flag Lol.

McCoy was trying to stay up and fell right when Brown left his feet. 
 

Hands to the face yeah that was bad.

Yes, and he would be an even lower graded player than Brown.

Very possibly so. As raw as Brown might be, Simmons is incredibly raw. It might take him 2-3 years to really get acclimated to the NFL.

There’s another football forum I read through that covers all 32 teams and there are a lot of people that aren’t happy with their rookies performances this season.

like there was no preseason or something.

PFF can eat sh!t. So can anyone else judging a rookie a bust based on his first two games.

i mean hands to the face yeah that was obvious.

Again PFF is about as good as a informed forum poster. I was not a brown fan and that changed game one when I saw him forklift good OLmen.

PFF has not focused and watched brown, nor do they know what his responsibilities are for that play. Only good for new player whom you never seen, like a asking a informed forum poster of that team about the player.

@Zod here is my milkshake?!?! specialjuan needs it!

Idc about stats with d tackles but damn i haven’t seen him push not one guard or center backwards except on that hands to the face penalty . Not worried yet just raising my eyebrows for now .
