agrees as long as you have heart and a will to be better then the man in front of you. Then you can be successful in the NFL.

It takes more than just heart though. You better have some talent to go with that heart to make it in the NFL. I don't think we have to worry about that with Brown. He is obviously much more talented than Hilee Taylor was as a rookie.

:iagree: you do have to have talent I also feel you have to have strong work enthic. Because being just talented is not always going to workout, but like you said I don't think we have to worry about that with him because looking at video clips. He has a none stop motor and a lot of moves to get to the QB. And I honestly believe Meeks is going to get the best out of all of our DE so its going to fun watching what they do under him.

I would agree with you guys that Peppers getting held is partly due to his athletic ability and partly due to his technique. From what little I have seen he seems to attack largely upright and usually moves into the defender and then tries to bull rush them or hooks an arm and tries to gain the edge by rushing around them. The problem is he is easy to grab on to and doesn't have a spin move or something which will break the hold. Guys like Freeney for example are harder to hold because they have a lower center of gravity, are harder to get your hands on and use spin moves or other techniques which breaks the hold.

So Brown may have some luck where Peppers doesn't in reducing the number of holds.

Right on, again (two agreements in one night).

It does piss me off to see Pep being blatantly held though, regardless of his lack of finesse or technique. His pure athletic ability (i.e., his brute force and/or speed) is a beautiful sight when he is bearing down on an opposing QB. I do think that he gets a little spin move in there every now and then.

Guys who rely on their athletic ability don't feel they have to change their technique to succeed. It becomes both their biggest strength and potential weakness. Guys who don't have the innate talent often have to work on their technique and watch more film and rely on other factors than brute strength. In the end the guys who have better technique last longer and are productive when their physical skiils naturally wane as they age. Guys who have always relied on their athletic skills have to learn new tricks or watch as their skills and effectiveness are diminished. Kearse is a guy who has really tailed off due to injury and age. Peppers in a few years may be another.

You truly are the voice of reason. I bow to your greatness.
