So yeah, Jammal Brown is still medicore at best

It amazes me how some of you have not noticed how he walks or hobbles at times. You can tell his hip is still not nearly 100 percent healthy. It would be nice if he were healthy so he could really show us what he has. To play as well as he has on a bum hip is pretty amazing to me.

You told me last week how much you respected John Keim. Well, here is what Kein had to say about Brown:,

And give the tackles credit for a terrific effort for three quarters. It’s a shame how it ended for Trent Williams and Jammal Brown because they played well for the most part. Brown did a good job vs. DeMarus Ware in the first three quarters. Seemed like his feet were much more active than normal; he was bent more at the knees and not the waist, allowing him to move quicker and react better. At times Brown attacked Ware and didn’t let him get into his move. Other times he was patient and let Ware tip his hand before reacting. He and Williams also had good help on the times when Ware beat them inside. Williams used his athleticism to help slow Ware.

What is you take in this, also taking into account that he played well vs Arizona(which you said yourself)

a lot of people on HH have no idea what-so-ever about line play. Those of you who are comparing this line play, to those of the early 2000’s are not quite understanding the scheme.

This scheme is designed to block and area, not necessarily a man all the time. It’s slide protection on both the 30, 50 and 90 series. If you notice the play where Brown gave up a sack to the OLB, both OT’s were supposed to cut their men, as you saw both Brown and TW dive towards the feet of the defenders. This tells me that the route was supposed to be a 3-step, quick throw. Either the route got jumped, or Grossman went and changed the play, but didn’t change the blocking scheme. If that play were designed to be a 5 or 7 step drop, with longer developing routes, both of those tackles would have never went low like they did.

After re-watching that play 3-4 times, I blame that on either Grossman, of a missed line call by the C.

I thought he did a good job against Ware. The sack/fumble at the end of the game was not his fault. He pushed his man around the outside, like al good OT’s do, and when Grossman vacated the pocket, he was too stupid the throw the damn ball away, and too un-athletic to escape. He should have covered the damn ball up, and just slid if he knew he couldn’t outrun a 280+lb d-linemen.

I’m not saying this as an insult to the coaches, but that play wouldn’t have happened to Beck; or any other half-way decent athlete at QB.

Point is, Grossman, not the O-Line, lost us this game. He should have been picked 3x’s. He should have lost another fumble if the Dallas coaches were smart enough to challenge that one sack(he clearly lost that ball). We have seen the same Rex as always; turnover prone at the worst possible times in games. Bone-headed decisions in the red-zone, no freaking arm on the deep ball(he can barely reach 45 yards), and throwing off his back foot on the deep out(biggest no-no in football).

We are not getting far with this guy at QB…………………………it’s that simple. If you guys can’t see that by now, than I don’t know what else to tell you.
