I don’t think people under how good this kid is. Dude is literally the fastest guy on the field that can play safety and nickel and he plays old school football. Once he gets healthy and get his tackling awareness and fully learn how to play the safety position, mark my words- this kid is gonna be a future all pro safety

His potential is pretty darn high -- it will be interesting to see how far good coaching can take him. We probably won't know for another couple years.

Agreed. Everyone is sleeping on him. If he didn’t get hurt I really think this year he’d be a stud, still think he will but now it’s very crowded

I got high hopes for him but tf we have multiple guys that run in the 4.3’s (Rodgers, ringo, Mitchell, etc)…my math says 4.47 isn’t the fastest on the team

so excited to see him used by a competent coordinator

Crash Bandicoot and Whirling Dervish mentions within the first 15 seconds of speaking in this video. Respect.

Definitely an exciting player!

I think Brown ends up being a starting safety once he proves hes 100%. Hes gotta be better as a wrap up tackler, but im excited for his development under Fangio

I love this kid. People say he can't tackle but they need to remember he was a rookie. He definitely isn't scared to blast someone. His twin brother is a RB on Cincinnati and he is pretty good too. I expect him to be a fan favorite and a good player for us for a while. Go Birds 🦅🦅🦅

To be fair, he missed a lot of tackles in college too. But Jessie Bates is a good example of a safety that missed a lot of tackles in college and early in his career and then improving. Sydney should be a good one and a fan favorite

Love Sydney Brown 🦅🦅🦅

Really interesting point about the new hip-drop tackle rule; that never even crossed my mind that it might affect how players are valued based on physicality. You guys have really knocked the Safety evaluations out of the park. This has been the most entertaining position to watch yet. Can't wait for the full pod

I think you'll love the full pod, we really got into the weeds on what is asked of the safety position in Fangio's scheme and how that room might materialize in the future.

I see the potential and love the energy. Let’s hope he works out.

I think better players around him radically changes how those missed tackles looked. There were many plays a ball carriers feet were stopped behind the line of scrimmage but there was noone to finish the tackle and so it went for a big gain.

Definitely someone who swarms to the ball and might cause a fumble or two

I really want to see him on the field so we can see him grow. Dude could become an elite safety but it's going to be hard to get playing time with the guys ahead of him. I love and hate all the talent we have in the back field now. There's so much young talent I want to see but unfortunately they won't see the field and eventually they'll go on to be great elsewhere.

Luckily Big Nickel and Big Dime packages are becoming in vogue, and that would put Brown on the field in the box.

Yeah somebody is gonna be unhappy that's for sure. But injuries will surely happen and the depth will be great then. Competition should make for a much better unit next year regardless

he could be the next sean taylor if he works on those weaknesses and gets more reps

Assume the starting safeties are Blankenship and CJGJ. The CBs on the outside are Slay and Mitchell, and the the slot is Rodgers. CJGJ gets hurt: who do you feel more comfortable starting next to Blankenship, Brown or Dejean? Blankenship gets hurt. Who do you feel more comfortable starting next to CJGJ, Brown or Dejean?

In all scenarios Brown over DeJean. DeJean has never played safety. The level of communication and understanding of EVERYONE'S job on the defense is night and day difference from playing corner. If you haven't seen the Blankenship video I did, I highlighted the little things the safeties have to do to make sure they're even lined up correctly. That stuff gets overlooked by most fans because it's easier to see which players are bigger, faster, more explosive, etc. but if you only watch the game on TV you'll miss the other stuff that matters so much at that position. And that's just the communication aspect, haven't even gotten into the fact that techniques, coverage roles and even seeing the field from that perspective is different. Maybe DeJean can come in right away and show he's able to handle all that. But he'd be an extreme outlier to switch to safety and play a lot as a rookie. I think DeJean plays nickel mostly this year, maybe some safety packages to get him matched up on a specific player or something. But the safety transition likely happens after this year if that's even the plan. The way the team is constructed, they don't need to force DeJean into a safety role.

I think the rookies had a tougher year because of poor coaching and inconsistency with the coordinators curious to see how Sydney develops

Most ACL tears aren't looked at that way anymore unless it's a compound injury like Teddy Bridgewater's or Nick Chubb's. You are right that they should have talked about it a bit more though. He tore his ACL 6 months ago, so he's still going to be rehabbing through the pre-season (which means he's not developing) and is due for a down year.

I'd be more concerned if it was an Achilles on there were multiple ligament tears, but its a fair criticism.

ACL injuries are a 6-9 month recovery. They've gotten pretty good at them. Kupp and AP are great examples of players that tore their ACL and came back better. Kupp was 1.5-2MPH faster on the GPS after which is crazy. Also helps that he's a younger player dealing with surgery than an older player. I'm not gonna pretend to be a doctor, but from previous injuries usually it's the guys that have other additional tearing to other parts of the knee that have a harder time recovering their form. He'll play in 2024.
