Captain_Quint Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 @mikerodak Bills CB Ron Brooks has deleted his tweet about moving on from Buffalo. Hot take!
GG Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 That must have been it. It was so stupid, one of the most stupid in a season of stupid penalties. It was the one when he tackled the guy and was standing up and the guy was still beneath him and he just started jawing at him like I just kicked your ass, and we were losing. Yeah, he made a great tackle on Pacman, then blew it with the taunting. If he were smarter, he'd be more subtle about the taunt, because Pacman came up ready to swing away.
YoloinOhio Posted January 8, 2016 Author Posted January 8, 2016 The first couple of years here, I thought he just needed a little bit of time to catch on, but it never happened. Instead, he started playing with attitude on special teams (and did a fairly good job) but was a huge liability at corner. Can't remember what game it was, but the opposing QB went right at him repeatedly until they took him out.he started in the last game at NE last year when Gilmore was out, and I recall Brady throwing his way repeatedly with success.
Freddie's Dead Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 There's a shocker. Addition by subtraction.
Kelly the Dog Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Yeah, he made a great tackle on Pacman, then blew it with the taunting. If he were smarter, he'd be more subtle about the taunt, because Pacman came up ready to swing away. Oh right, it definitely was Pacman. That led more credence to the "You're Ron Freakin' Brooks!" part. Ha. At least Pacman had made a name for himself.
Manther Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Huge disappointment I must say, good luck to him. I thought he was going to be a solid slot corner, I hope Robey can find his way back to being just that. Brooks had promise for for years and NEVER did anything. What is the disappointment?Amazing - that guy has played in 46 games with the Bills. I cannot think (or reference) a single big play he made here.AgreedAgreed. I love LSU corners. Never got better and will struggle to make a roster.AgreedHe should probably go to a team/defense that plays mostly zone defense, unlike us. I think his NFL days are done. He is poor on STs and those spots are mostly for developing rookie contract players. IMO if he gets picked up it will be mid season next year when a team in hammered with injuries.
machine gun kelly Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 I don;t understand how this was a surprise. He should have been cut last year.
Fixxxer Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Brooks had promise for for years and NEVER did anything. What is the disappointment? Because I thought he was going to be a big contributor to the defense, that's all.
The Adam Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 i think it was Patrick Peterson he played with Yes, and Honey Badger too I think. I remember Miles was at the tv desk when Ron was drafted and was talking about how Ron would have started anywhere else but the two guys ahead of him at LSU were insanely talented.
YoloinOhio Posted January 9, 2016 Author Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) Yes, and Honey Badger too I think. I remember Miles was at the tv desk when Ron was drafted and was talking about how Ron would have started anywhere else but the two guys ahead of him at LSU were insanely talented. sure, and that definitely happens a lot at big programs. I think someone will sign him. CBs are in high demand and short supply. Edited January 9, 2016 by YoloinOhio
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 @mikerodak Bills CB Ron Brooks has deleted his tweet about moving on from Buffalo. Looks like the penalty was declined.
3rdand12 Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Amazing - that guy has played in 46 games with the Bills. I cannot think (or reference) a single big play he made here. actually he had some sweet hits on ST. seriously. and a couple as corner. But his errors unfortunately have stood out. When he came in for Gilmore i was having panic attacks. still, did like the kid when we got him and wish him well. He is not all that far away from decent by now. Why are you yelling? SO COY CAN HEAR HIM ! dude is like 67 by now. bring him in as a coach. Coy i mean. Not, I'm Sparticus Yeah, he made a great tackle on Pacman, then blew it with the taunting. If he were smarter, he'd be more subtle about the taunt, because Pacman came up ready to swing away. serious? i only vaguely recall the play. I do remember yelling at the TV and seeing it was #33 he started in the last game at NE last year when Gilmore was out, and I recall Brady throwing his way repeatedly with success. he improved. had a nice pass defended after being picked on. could stay with the receivers mostly. Because I thought he was going to be a big contributor to the defense, that's all. not the only one. sure, and that definitely happens a lot at big programs. I think someone will sign him. CBs are in high demand and short supply. he will be picked up.
billsfan_34 Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Ah finally that dude was an ST penalty machine
Manther Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Because I thought he was going to be a big contributor to the defense, that's all. When drafted I thought he had upside too. I believe he was a 4 th round pick. It was a good shot for a 4 th round pick. It just didn't work out. IMO it was a good pick and we tried for four years. You win some lose some. Go Bills!! Yes, and Honey Badger too I think. I remember Miles was at the tv desk when Ron was drafted and was talking about how Ron would have started anywhere else but the two guys ahead of him at LSU were insanely talented. Agreed, I remember that. It was a good try.
fridge Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Brooks was a guy that I liked a lot more than most. He was the best open field tackler on the team. He never really got a chance to play. He was a guy that I would have thought long and hard about at safety. Oh well, good look to him.
Uffalo Ills Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Brooks is a good gunner, but a below average corner. Hopefully Easley gets well soon because we might need his ST prowess more than ever next season.
Hazed and Amuzed Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Yes, and Honey Badger too I think. I remember Miles was at the tv desk when Ron was drafted and was talking about how Ron would have started anywhere else but the two guys ahead of him at LSU were insanely talented. It was Peterson, Morris Claiborne and Honey Badger. 3 super talented college CBs
Saxum Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Brooks is a decent CB but needs a very firm coach who will force him to get his bad plays under control; it is best for him to get on squad of another team and have the new coaching staff correct his issues early in camp.
