Thread: Arthur Brown?
Hybrid View
-
Anyone know his current health status and whether he'll play this week? I'd really like to see him get the start, to see what he could do. Josh Bynes hasn't been that effective, and the thought of having two super athletic LBs behind this monster Dline brings in thoughts of 2000.

Re: Arthur Brown?
We'll see if he practices, but early reports were it was only a strain of the pectoral. I predict he'll be starting next to Smith soon. You're right on Bynes.

Re: Arthur Brown?
I'm sure the coaches want to upgrade the position. Bynes just isn't up to level of where players need to be to start on this defense. If Brown was ready he would have won that job. With the injury I think it's going to be a little while longer before he proves in practice that he is ready to take over.

Re: Arthur Brown?
It really depends on the severity of the strained pectoral. I'd imagine that he would be ok to play this weekend. He probably won't start though and I doubt he plays a lot unless he is 100% or needed (i.e. Bynes or Smith get hurt).

Re: Arthur Brown?
He went through walk-throughs the day after his injury so it may not be that serious. It'd be awesome to get him and Brandon Williams back this week.

Re: Arthur Brown?
When he is fully fit just throw him in like they've had to do with Elam. Yes it's all well and good letting rookies sit back and watch and learn, but the best way to learn is on the job. He and Elam both will make silly errors because of rookie in experience, but come the playoffs and next season they will have learnt from them enough to minimise those errors.
I didn't think its a coincidence that now jimmy smith is seeing regular playing time we are seeing his play improve week by week. Kids need to play, throw him in, he will make plays, he will makes errors, but come playoff time, he will be an asset because of the playing time he's seen up to then.
That would be my take on high draft picks, if the talent is there, put them and let them learn.

Re: Arthur Brown?
I'm more than content for the team to take their time.
I don't see what the rush is...especially with the defense playing as well as it has so far.
The coaches will put him in when they feel he's ready.Although Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story. According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.

If he's healthy for this week, I'd just start him. Get him and Elam playing together, they are the future.
