Don't be putting words in my mouth I just said DD is not a good example of a durable back. It's like complaining about brown's durability and saying you rather have fred taylor.

Why is brown's durability an issue anyway? We have lendale white now and he looks darn good. Next year brown won't be here.

A bigger issue is that we dumped nash a guy we could use next year and beyond.

I wasn't replying to you.

Dominick davis has missed the same number of starts the last two years as chris brown. Davis is not a durable back either!
What? Didn't I say "in a full body cast being pushed on a dolley by a full back"? Not sure I get you on that.

Look ya'll... if Chris Brown starts churning up the yards ripping first downs off and looking like some of the other backs I wish we had... I swear I'll retract most of my crap that is saying he's sub-par, a wuss, or whatever... Chris Brown hasn't shown he's good enough... I know he's cheap enough... but I want production. REAL PRODUCTION.

Sorry but I don't buy that. That game does not make Nash a stud. I could have got yards against us last saturday night
 
Production has never been Brown's problem. Staying healthy has. When he is healthy he does "rip first downs". In case you guys haven't noticed our OL simply sucked last year and looks about the same this year. Brown would look like Eric Dickerson if he played behind the Bronco's line and got to run against the Titans defense. Stop acting like you guys just fell off a turnip wagon. We all saw what Brown could do in 2004. He has the talent. He is "good enough". Thats why the Titans are trying to keep him this year.
We have two vet OGs that are playing like they belong in the nursing home. Changes need to be made on the OL. Our running game will be fine when we get some blocking (incase you guys didn't notice it was Amano playing for Olsen who sprung Brown for the long run against NO).

By the way Brown had a real nice catch and run in the Bronco's game (18 yards). One of the few decent plays all night for the Titans. Brown should not be the scapegoat for how this team is playing IMO. Vent in another area that really does stink.
 
why would I do that, all I have to mention is the Royal family was bred on incest for a very long time.

And heck look who Chuck married. That sheep is better looking then her.
 
Come now,let's desist from this trite quid pro qou & save it for a thread more suited to our time & purpose.


Ponce speak for STFU :grrhee:

ok Soxcat, the way I see it, which is often flawed, production and durability are not mutually exclusive. How can he be productive if he is not on the field? IMO, to be truly productive a guy has to be able to go out there and do his work without getting hurt or sick. In the first preseason game Brown was barfing and in the second he took a lick and limped off the feild... he didn't return. I don't care if he ran like Gale Sayers, once you're hit and hurt and you're done... the production stops... no durability, no production... Why does Brown get hurt all the time? What's the deal with the way he runs? He runs so high exposing his body to risk... that's what makes him so vulnerable to injury. He doesn't run smart.

That is an area where I do like him. I'd like to see more screens and stuff like that. That is an area where I can say he's good. I still am of the opinion that if a player is not healthy he ceases to be productive. He sucks at inside running but then again I am more than willing to hang that on the OL that obviously needs a major overhaul.
 
A back that is really only a catching threat in a limited passing offense is not really a help. That just puts him back in the 3rd down role again. They guy gets hurt ALLOT. Almost every game he plays. He can not pick up 'and short' gains. At best he could run a split back with White/Henry(boo! Henry). Plus he fumbles allot compared to the number of carries he has. If he starts getting 25+ carries a game he will not be in after game 8.

I was totally disgusted with him when he walked off in the NO game but then again we do not have a proven replacement for him .... yet. If White could have sewn his lips shut in practice I think the #1 spot would be allot more heated.
 
That's alot like my deal with him. I can accept him as a situational back. Last time I checked he can pass block. I just have issues with "the guy" being such a stinking pansy. He leaves alot of games only to return TO START the following week. I think his GS numbers are misleading. I do not think they truly reflect how much time he's on the pine or in the training room. I'm tired of hearing people say "he's never going to be Eddie George." That gets old really quick.

Thank you. Took the words right out of my mouth. Brown is our RB just for this season, maybe not, I like him a lot, but LenDale is our future back, and I can't see Brown being here next year.
