good week to be starting the
Fantasy
Even better if you picked up Dolphins D like I did. Basically anyone against the Jets = profit.
Except for the Bills defense
They just suck. Pats defense isn't very good either with the exception of the Rams game today.
Same here...
Jets and Rex Ryan suck.
Stevie is ballin for real!!
Man I had no idea he had this level of talent and instincts.

He just seemed to be out of position all of the time as a safety at Michigan.

He's really coming into his own with the Giants
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).
Wow....

Oops. Could've used another interception right there.
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.
Overturned on review
One more play...

Making himself some money right now. Wether it be with the Giants or another team, he's setting up to cash in.
If I say a duck can pull a truck, shut up and hook the sucka up!
I think it'll be with the Giants.
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.
WOOHOOO!!!
WOOHOOO!!!

Congrats to Mr. Brown

Yeah, really. I have noticed
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)
Just another example of a guy
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?
Denied by UM multiple times, nonetheless lifelong M fan.
Old regime...
Horrible coaching and player development to go along with bad scheming. He wasnt a scrub coming out of high school.

Here we go again. What is wrong with you people? Give it a rest already.
Disgruntled former moderator. I got a lot of problems with you people!
Or another
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.
Brown was a good player here
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.
It is spelled HOKEAMANIA. Our coach is an ass-kicking American citizen, not one of the Beatles, for Christ's sake!
You never get a second chance to make a first impression.
I think Stevie Brown's first game was as strong safety against Appalachian, where the other safety was Johnny Sears. That combo was a complete disaster until Sears' removal from the team a few game later. His struggles continued until he was moved to LB, where by his senior season he was an asset rather than a liability.
According to most, your
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.
Go Blue!
Lloyd or RichRod? Yeah.
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.

Careers are short
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.

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.
Representing
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.
Next thing we know, Bellomy
Next thing we know, Bellomy will be the starting QB for the Super Bowl
Borges would agree
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.
He deserves all the praise
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.

Commenters here treated Brown worse than any Michigan player.
