There is not a clear line you step over on your 21st birthday. I was pretty responsible, but I made mistakes I would not make today.  Life is a process, for everybody. Heck, these guys learn over the course of a season. Youâve probably heard phrases like âby week 16 youâre not a rookie anymoreâ.  Year two is a huge jump from year one, because you have some idea of what to expect.  For that matter, itâs true physically as well as mentally and emotionally. Kids just out of college learn what itâs like to play against grown men with wifes and kids and mortgages who have been in NFL weight and conditioning programs for years.   .

We need to be more physical, and attitude is a big part of that. I have no problem with the term nasty. You can be capable of being physical, but if youâre not naturally inclined to dominate, itâs not worth much. Perhaps I have Incognito/Feliciano PTSD with that word. Guys that have an attitude but arenât necessarily very good. Iâm just saying I donât hear the word nasty used about guys like Quentin Nelson, Brandon Scherff or any of the top guys in the league. Physical for sure-so yes, I want to see the linemen be physical 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He better find some discipline for next week's game. He can't be a loose cannon out there and have 50 penalty yards. Hopefully we get some O linemen back soon.

He should have chewed his ass off, but didn't.   I think Sean is trying so hard to walk that fine line between being their friend and also pretending he's a disciplinarian. I don't ever want to see Brown play LT ever again. And frankly he makes me a little nervous at RT after today's debacle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And fast! He gets downfield on blocks so quick, I think heâs going to be special! He has that wow factor to his game, he just needs sometime to get his technique down. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are guys who like pass protection and are more finesse guys (coughâŠcoughâŠMorse), and guys who want to beat the crap out of you and run the ball down your throat. You need the right blend, and that will be the goal for this offseason.  People scoffed at taking Nelson so high in the draft, but Iâm all over that if you can make your OLine solid. Win in the trenches and all of a sudden our RBâs and LBâs are All Pro.  I love physical/nasty, but Iâm not a fan of crazy. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, and those Masshole players on the Patriots* always try to get cheap penalties after the play is over every damn time. Brown cannot afford to fall for their crap. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That young man has been working his ass off at a full time job for years; damn right he considers himself a grown man. People that think chewing out men like that is productive are engaging in projection fantasies; I'm glad McDermott is above it. As a former manager I had to give grown men ass chewings. Some people would also call it constructive criticism. A grown man would accept/correct his faults, a child would just pout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerome007 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Dude had a VERY rough first half against the Bucs. It was his worst game IMO. Today, sure he was bad, but damn, guy had to play LT just like that, on short notice. I give him a pass for today. By next week, he should be better at LT... or back at RT.

John from Riverside Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Spencer Brown was not ready to play on left tackle he was doing pretty darn good as a right tackle for us with Williams at guard and they should have left it that way and played Bates  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 So much for Brown at LT it seems. Hopefully he is good enough for RT. I would still most likely draft OT in the first round and move Dawkins to LG. However if a C/G falls in the first round I would take him and play him at guard for a year and keep Morse for another year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a respect thing. Praise in public, criticize in private. Scream at a dude in game like that, I don't care what player it is, you run the chance of losing him.  Does anybody think he's going to have a good day at the office tomorrow with film?   Do your criticism when emotions aren't sky high. Tmrw reviewing film, early in the morning, tired, sore, beat up. Let him know he let down coaches and 52 men. Didn't hurt us this week, but next week with the division and possibly the playoffs on the line. It'll be alright, I haven't seen anything to think he's anything but a good kid, excited and eager to be in a position to start. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
