Stevie Brown picks off two more passes and recovers another fumble

good week to be starting the giants D in fantasy football
October 28th, 2012 at 7:37 PM ^
Even better if you picked up Dolphins D like I did. Basically anyone against the Jets = profit.

Jets and Rex Ryan suck.

Was just about to make a thread about this. He's going H.A.M this season.
October 28th, 2012 at 7:37 PM ^
I savor every moment of Cowboys misery.
October 28th, 2012 at 7:39 PM ^
Dang I guess it isn't over.
October 28th, 2012 at 7:40 PM ^
Had the game on in the background, and decided to watch the last few minutes. Just in time for that beautiful interception (and getting his two feet in bounds by the tippytoes), and then the requisite highlights of the previous Cowboy turnovers featuring Stevie Brown (and a couple other guys).
October 28th, 2012 at 7:41 PM ^
Wow....
October 28th, 2012 at 7:41 PM ^
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I hate you so much NY.
October 28th, 2012 at 7:44 PM ^
Under review, but that wasn't Stevie Brown who was in position, despite what the commentator said. #23 and #37 were close (or at least in the shot), but Stevie's #27.
October 28th, 2012 at 7:44 PM ^
One more play...
October 28th, 2012 at 7:47 PM ^
October 28th, 2012 at 7:51 PM ^
He's making himself a home there. I've lost track of how many interceptions he's had since that first one right after he came in as an understudy.
October 28th, 2012 at 7:50 PM ^
WOOHOOO!!!
October 28th, 2012 at 7:54 PM ^
October 28th, 2012 at 10:42 PM ^
Yeah, really. I have noticed that some of the discussion about Stevie Brown has been about his track record at Michigan. My memory may be hazy, but I don't remember him ever complaining or causing trouble, and being a fine representative of the program. Glad to see him excelling and getting it done on Sundays (and the occasional Thursday and Monday nights)
October 28th, 2012 at 7:56 PM ^
Just another example of a guy who MAKES PLAYS in the NFL, but badly underachieved for the most part while at Michigan. Talent development: Who is to blame on this one?
October 28th, 2012 at 8:04 PM ^
October 29th, 2012 at 12:53 PM ^
Here we go again. What is wrong with you people? Give it a rest already.
October 28th, 2012 at 8:08 PM ^
Or another example of a failed defensive system & coordinator before this Hoke Era. I would not place the blame on the player as so much the system he was placed and role he was expected to have.
October 28th, 2012 at 8:13 PM ^
He struggled playing for the first time as a true sophomore with not much help in the back 7 (not at all unusual) in 2007. As a junior he had a couple of picks and a couple forced fumbles (MAKIN' PLAYS) on a defense that had plenty of positive moments but I think just couldn't continually muster up the energy/focus to go out there at full tilt every time with the way the offense struggled at times. And when that happens big plays happen and fans often blame the last line of defense.
As a senior he moved to OLB and had a very productive year and made a bunch of plays behind the line of scrimmage.
He wasn't flawless but he didn't really have the struggles people seem to imagine, at least not in comparison to some other former players. Would have been much more highly thought of with another quality season if he hadn't burned his redshirt as well.
The two who maybe fit the mold your describing for me are Breaston (we never seemed able to get him the ball in the passing game) and Cato June, who was just not a safety (ran the slowest time at the Combine at the position before becoming an all-Pro linebacker). And it isn't like those guys weren't any good here.

According to most, your second 2 would be wrong. They did not play for RR or Gerg, so they must have reached their full potential while playing at UM.
October 28th, 2012 at 8:14 PM ^
It's not a simple question, but Stevie didn't thrive until he was moved to a linebackerish position under GERG. So, for parts of career under two regimes, he may not have been put in a great position to succeed.

IIRC this was covered just last week. I remember commenting on it.
October 28th, 2012 at 8:23 PM ^
Some guys take time to develop and there can be a fine line between when the light comes on and how you are remembered. Just imagine if David Harris hadn't redshirted and come back for a 5th year (wasn't even honorable mention all-conference). If he ends up having the Pro Bowl career he has, people are doing the same groaning about his development. Or if a guy like Prescott Burgess had, who knows how much better he plays with the increased experience.
Brown just hit his stride as a senior and would have had a much bigger legacy/impact with another year on campus.
October 28th, 2012 at 8:16 PM ^
just kidding...team chemistry plays a big role in how these performs. Perhaps a combination of coaching and team chemistry are unlocking his potential with the Giants.
October 28th, 2012 at 8:05 PM ^
Always good to see Maize n Blue show up for big games, even better when it is against the Cowboys. Stevie and Martin are making quite the impact for both of their teams. Should earn themselves some more playing time and for Martin a starting role.
October 28th, 2012 at 8:13 PM ^
Next thing we know, Bellomy will be the starting QB for the Super Bowl
October 28th, 2012 at 8:17 PM ^
QBs that play their second year in his system make a huge jump...Bellomy for Heisman next year!

congrats to a classy kid who took to coaching and left it all on the field for Michigan. It is amazing to see him start putting it all together now.
October 28th, 2012 at 8:22 PM ^
He deserves all the praise and benefits now given how negative people were toward him at UM. Not saying his play those first couple of years warranted effusive praise, but it is nice to see the guy do well.

Honestly, he has to be in the conversation for DPOY at this point in the season, no? He has 7 or 8 take-aways thru 7 games...
October 29th, 2012 at 12:22 AM ^
Never gets old hearing former Michigan players kicking ass and taking names..
October 29th, 2012 at 2:48 AM ^
Dare I say Pro Bowl?
October 29th, 2012 at 11:09 AM ^
Don't say it, 'cuz they might cancel the Pro Bowl!
