E.Brown evaluation....

[micnificent28]

what would be deemed as sucessful for the rook at this point? what sack total would he have to finsh with to warrent the trade??

[CharlotteBeer.com]

I don't think we can put a number on it, considering the limited playing time he's received. Nor can we fully evaluate at this point if the trade was worth it.

That being said, I think he's progressed along nicely. He was being pushed around quite a bit early on, but for the most part he seems to be holding his own out there. I like his determination to improve, and hope it goes a long way for him.

[bLACKpANTHER]

currently has 16 tackles, 1.5 sacks and 2 FF

tackles = sad but shud be expected with a limited role and being a pass rush specialist. his sack total is depressing too being with gambled BIG to get him. the 2 FF is nice but doesn't coverup the stink of 16 tackles and 1.5 sacks

if he grabs 2-3 more sacks and 10-15 more tackles in the next 4 games- i might consider the trade to get him not a total ass-hat move

i'm not upset. I'm happy we've had the luxury to spread out his playing time. And there alot of guys on that list that a lot of people pushed for over the last few years that are doing worse.

If you just compare Brown to what other rookie DE's have done in recent years, as opposed to guys who were switched to OLB's, he's looking pretty darn good.

[OneBadassCat]

I'm pretty sure he has more than 1.5 sacks, that doesn't sound right at all. And he's had alot of sacks just barely slip away from him all year. He could have had 2 on Sunday.

I wonder how Gholston would do in the 43?

I have wondered that myself. At the rate he is bottoming out, he could be had pretty darn cheap.

Would not be surprised if he is a casualty in the capless of-season. If not a low rounder could aquire him, although I doubt our FO would be interested as I believe it's his work ethic that is keeping him off the active game day roster.

it's funny because it seems like he's still really surprised that he can't simply push NFL tackles out of the way.

every time i read your posts I want to eat beans and watch the terminator

[pantherclaw]

Brown's impact on the field is obvious to anyone who actually watches.

He is a great addition to this defense.

yeah..I would like to see what meeks could do with Vernon Gholston...

Yeah, he was wearing out that Tampa LT late in that game. You can definitely see that he's progressing.
