When pass rush win rate was referenced, you claimed “what about a sacks? ”. Suh had 4 sacks his second year? Did he not play well or was he double-teamed constantly like Brown is? You just do your usual move the goalposts and “chuck” out any info that doesn’t fit the agenda. 

Suh came out and had 10 sacks in his rookie season. You don’t think and did you forget that OCs started game planning to Suh? Aaron Donald only has 3 sacks so far this season. Does he just suck or do you not realize that teams are trying to take him out of the game? That’s not the case with Brown. Like I said, if he can show to be a force in the running game I would be fine. Maybe I’m not seeing that because our linebackers are trash unlike Luke and TD who made a living because of Star.

I think this is a big part of it. So, too, is our general weakness on the edge at stopping the run, although that is thankfully improving it seems.

Do we have any evidence he would have traded up?  Yes, hurney 1.0 loved to trade up but all I'd heard is we wanted Herbert but he didn't fall to us.

Depends what rumor you want to believe? Was Hurney the “driving force” behind the Teddy signing and 34M guaranteed contract. Or was he in “love” with Hebert because he was the only guy that went to watch him work out. So he convinced the team to overpay a bridge QB even though he supposedly “loved” Hebert? 
 

  Truth probably is they believed in TB and would have taken Brown over Hebert even if he fell. You don’t pay a “mentor” that much. And Hurney had as much say as many of us did.

 Brown was double teamed the 6th most of any DL last year. I’d call that accounting for him. And propping up Star just further a my point. How many sack or pressures did he have. But he was still worth the pick. You are the one who doesn’t understand all this because it “what about sacks” and nothing else.

Derrick Brown is the least of my worries.  Glad we have him

My brother is a long time dolphins fan & he whines every time San Diego gets a win. They were comparing Herbert to Marino coming out of college with size & strength. He said the GM at dolphins is a basket case & would like just one draft & free agency to get some players for the dolphins. 

Yeah the Dolphins always have a way of tripping over their own feet.

I'd rather have Brown given we got Chinn.  Simmons and Chinn are both swiss army knives.  

Brown + Chinn most likely > Simmons + whatever we woud of done.   

 

 

Not to mention Chinn > Simmons

Sacks aren’t the definitive stat for NTs. They’re not the end all be all qualifier for defensive linemen, not even DEs. They’re more important for DEs, but not the whole story.

I believe too many folks are caught up in the "If you aren't making highlight reel plays on instant repays, or ESPN highlights. You're not doing your job" mentality.

The interior DEFENSIVE line isn’t the issue….

Debate isn't about the issue...  we know what the issue is. This is just something else to discuss besides Sam darnold and our offensive line woes.

I know someone in the building that told me the day of the draft that Hurney wanted to move up for Herbert, then there was contention about taking Brown. At the time I thought Hurney was crazy for trying to get Herbet, and god I was wrong.

Brown is  having a better year than last year. Last year,  he wasn't getting sacks till towards the end of the season. He is trending up. Third year might be a monster year. 

[FuFuLamePoo]

Brown over Simmons is fine.

Brown over Becton, Wills, Wirfs? That’s an entirely different debate.
