Hurts So Good … Tuesday Cup O’Chiefs : BobGretz.com

"I was signed for depth reasons," Brown said. "There are two really good young safeties here and I feel like I was brought here to provide depth and to play on some special teams. I feel like my role as an older player is to help those guys out with the mental game, if they needed it. I’ll answer any questions they might have. I’m here to bounce ideas off those guys and be someone they can lean on if they have any troubles.

"It’s not like I’m not going to compete with those guys. I’m here to compete for a job. But I know it’s going to be extremely difficult to bump one of those guys out of those positions. I’m here for depth. Injuries due happen, I know that."

good quote

even though i was ragging on Sackintosh for conceding his job to Herb Taylor, and i usually want to see players fighting for starting jobs…

Brown knows his role on the team, and should be a nice addition.

Yep.

Brown’s flying under the radar because of his history of injury, and possible limitations he has from that. He’s a true field commander at crunch time. Probably not the same player he was before the achilles tear, though. That one’s very tough to recover from 100%.

No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.
