Brandon Browner the Strong Safety?

GeauxForMore · 10-01-2015, 08:13 PM

Browner does not fit our defensive scheme. Once again we take a player who is good at something and use him in a way that he shouldn't be used. Cover press corner. That is what he is. Cover press safety high. He is not a shutdown corner but a very good press corner. Stop putting him in zone with a 5-10 yard cushion. He is not that type of corner. He should be jamming everything in his way period. TE WR RB I don't care, let him interrupt routes and put his hand on people. Now I know he will get flagged, but that is the type of corner he is and what you paid him to be.

But like I pointed out in my original post, the Patriots used him sometimes as that SS/LB hybrid that covers TE's. We use Vacarro in that role but he sucks covering TE's. We are awful at stopping TE's and Browner could match up very well against them instead of on the outside against some 6 foot WR that runs a 4.3 40.

And I can work with that. It's a pretty good idea, but it won't work under this defensive scheme. Moving someone like Browner to a position like that takes a lot of coaching and technique. Something we don't have currently. Damn I hate being so negative with this team.

You're right. Now that I think about it... We don't have the coaching staff to even remotely do something like that. We just continue to take the square peg-round hole approach.

That is fair enough.
I like a guy who is trying to think through solutions.

Totally agree. If we can get Keenan back, just start Keenan and Browner and play a lot of Tampa 2. What do we have to lose? Should at least try it but instead Rob Ryan 'will want to get weird'.
