Everette Brown

He just does not fit the system anymore. Small and fast is in the past and we need DEs that can play the run well.

He's around the same size as Trent Cole, so this isn't exactly true!

Norwood>Brown

This is the perfect example or homerism.

It's not foolproof in the fact that he looked like he was about to have a breakout year last preseason? Or not foolproof in the fact that we're judging him after a handful of practices this year?

It's not foolproof in the sense that some players look good in camp, but not so good in the regular season (WR"s come to mind). Not sure where you're getting this 'he was going to break out last year' business from though. He showed up looking beefier than he did the year before, but apart from that, I can't remember him getting much hype at all.

Brown needs to be put at OLB in 3-4 looks to rush the passer. Fact is he's MUCH better suited as a rush LB in a 3-4 than he is an undersized DE in a 4-3.

i think we should see alot more of that seeing as rivera said we'd be running a 4-3 with 3-4 elements.

How is it homerism?

I have no emotional ties whatsoever to Norwood or Brown.

[Clicheking]

I've resigned myself to the fact he'll be nothing more then a situational pass rusher. With that said if he can manage 5.- 7 sacks a year that will be good enough for me.

I think Hardy develops into a big-time starting DE for us. If we can use Brown right, I think he can be a productive pass rusher and good trade bait for a 3-4 team.

Or if we end up moving to a 3-4 full-time down the road, a good rush LB for us.

He's too small...period.

Bad draft decision.
