Brown was able to be productive in Buffalo's downhill defensive scheme when he didn't have to be rangy. In Cincinnati, he doesn't have as good of a DL nor does he have good OLBs to help him out.
Brown, like most players the Bengals try to get in FA, is just a square peg trying to be put into a round hole. He's limited and being asked to do something he can't.
I thought it was obvious he would fail here and he has. He is a 2 down 'thumper' LB that is fast fading away in the NFL. Signing him was a mistake, signing him again was laughable. But since this team can't even draft a servicable LB you might as well sign a below average one.
