Is there a scheme that highlights the ability to commit multiple egregious penalties while getting burnt in coverage?

Because if that scheme exists then I'm ready for my NFL contract

He has made some good plays. Just can't leave him to cover past 10 yards. His size would be conducive to more blitzing if we did it. I really think with him and Breaux out there we should send five more often. Only Lewis when healthy can cover without fouling for long periods of time.

Locker room enforcer/bouncer since we have had problems there might be a good fit.

I dont give a shite how many super bowls he won, he needs to get cut next year if he doesnt improve towards the end of the year.

He needs to be soley on TEs and large receivers with over the top help for some of them

He needs to be used in run support

The injuries this year have impacted his role here, but he's unlikely to get cut with his contract

He sure as hell can't play CB any longer. He's gotta be the worst starting CB in the league right now.



He's been average at best for a couple of years now, and that was teams maximizing his talents.

Any chance Browner gets switched to safety next year? He'll be 32 when the 2016 season starts.



It takes two to tango, and it was made apparent in NE to the media that he had no intentions of ever playing safety.

I was wondering the same thing as he cannot be any worse than Roman Harper was back there at Strong Safety. It would free Vaccaro up to be a roamer and at Free Safety when Byrd is out. Vaccaro could also play CB in a pinch.

Browner does suck. Don't feel like he can play safety. And he's not even that great at covering TEs. Dude got burnt by Greg Olsen so badly. I know Olsen is good but that's when I knew Browner just couldn't cover.

Why would you want him anywhere on the field.

Maybe he could help out the equipment staff??

"Can Brandon Browner lace shoes?"

I don't, but he 's got two more years of a guaranteed contract so I'm just trying to figure out where he could play. I don't want him starting at safety over Vacarro and Byrd. It just seems like a natural move at this point in his career. IMO he'd be better depth at safety than he would be at CB

I doubt it. He's not even a good tackler how the hell could he play safety?

Any chance he'll give the Saints their money back?

I take back benching him for now.
Every team in the league is throwing his way.
Good to know I think. Let him cover with mittens tied to his hands and tell the safeties to be ready and jump the pass for a pick six or two.

Win!

My gosh, the guy was a starting corner for the Seahawks and Patriots when they won Super Bowls that's was a year and two years ago. He's having a rough season, give him a break.
league cracked down on db mugging. He plays he hasnt lost much skill. Legion of boom was more about physicality than cover skillz.

Since he can't run with most TEs, I'd have to say no.
