I was probably a bigger supporter of Rey Mauluga then most and he was a better LB .vs. run than Brown ever has been IMHO...and when we had Tez and the likes of Lamur, Thomas Howard he could come off the field in passing situations so he was less exposed.
Towards the end of his career at the bengals he drew a lot of board angst for not covering TE and RBs in the flat - but that was never his game - that was not his fault.
Why we were/are are running brown out there in a 2 LB system is beyond me.
In Browns Defense he used to be 250 to 260 pounds and could take on Tackles and Fullbacks in the running game. Dude lost 20 pounds in the Off-season but gained little to no speed in the process.
