AZ54 Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 For the Oline specialists out there what are your thoughts on James Brown? In his first couple games he was getting pushed around a lot, he still needs to improve his strength IMO. Lately he seems to settling into the role at LG and I thought he played ok today. Cutler had a lot of time to throw throughout the game and as someone who has watched more Cards games than most they do have a good pass rush. We still can't open holes inside for the running game but did seal the edge a few times for some nice gains. Is there potential for this guy to be on the roster next year? Better than Spencer/EWilliams at LG? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears4Ever_34 Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 He's athletic, but gets pushed around too much. Not sure what his position is yet. He has a guard type body, but athletic enough to play either tackle position. I'd give him another offseason before I judge him. Yesterday he was good/bad in some areas, but was an improvement over the last few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 Much better this past game (like the whole OL), but I fear it's a fluke, and like we've seen before, it will regress. The rub, of course, is to recognize the likelihood of a regression before committing to someone. The Bears have not been good at this in recent years. And I definitely don't want false hope, like the last few years, to cause the Bears to draft other than OL for any reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Hochuli 3:16 Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 I think he's a prospect that has struggled and has had a very few bright spots. He's a guy you keep around next year as a guy who can compete with a rookie OG or back-up a veteran OG (if you bring one in) along with Louis (if he's put on the PUP list to start the year). I was high on Brown going into the draft and somehow he went undrafted. Keep him around and maybe he can turn into a solid OG. At the very worst, he continues to work at his technique as a back-up.
