Orlando Brown has bet on himself this season. Unfortunately, that bet has not worked out thus far

My feeling is that he’s thought too highly of himself and it’s backfiring. I’m not a “technical” game watcher, but it sure seems like he’s not even a top 10 LT.
He doesn’t even deserve the best offensive line contract on his own team.
Seems like whenever Mahommes is on the turf, I see Brown in the replay, not a good look.
The anti Aaron Judge
He’s the fourth best lineman *on this team*
Unless Brown has one insane turnaround to finish out the season, I think it’s fair to call off this experiment. We made the right call in acquiring him, got an extra second in the process (which turned into Nick Bolton), but overall it just didn’t work. Oh well, those things happen, and we aren’t in a sunk cost of trying to justify playing someone just because of their draft position.
For the rest of the year, and especially this Sunday, we need to make sure we are using RBs and TEs to assist off the line on his side of the ball. Even something simple as a shove to start a route or a chip block should be enough to give Brown that extra second to position himself. So many times he just takes awful approach angles and gets burned so badly if edge rushers dip and rip.
Which, ya know, is like Von Miller’s best move.
So that could be fun.
Thuney to LT, Smith to LG, Willey to RG , brown to RT, It would solve most o line issues for this year.
He’s not who we traded for.
Agreed. He’s loses money every time he lets a pass rusher run pass him.
Can’t believe the guy that waited until the last possible minute to hire an agent and then hired somebody with zero experience to represent him cost himself tens of millions of dollars.
The athlete version of “penny smart, pound foolish.”
Dude sucks my balls
Browns probably is someone, probably his dad convinced him he should be a LT beca7se of the money. Brown could be a top 3 RT in the league, especially on a run heavy team, but he is a mediocre left tackle at best. He doesn’t fit the position and he doesn’t fit the team. The chiefs need to move on after this season.
He definitely has a lot of room for improvement. He is absolutely no Trent Williams by a million miles. Not even close. Right now.
Season is early. He looks stiff out there right now. Lots of time to get it together bud. Go get you some
What will really blow y’all’s mind is that he’d actually be a pretty great RT for as many times as he’s beaten on the inside from LT.
Now that he is (hopefully) humbled, let’s draft LT, give him a pillow contract, and move him to RT.
Won’t stop him from getting overpaid in free agency.
PFF Rankings has him as the #52nd ranked tackle in the NFL (out of 72) with Wylie ranked 47th.
​
He’s the 3rd rated “Brown” with Trent at #15, Spencer at #49 and then Orlando (52).
I’d say it’s currently even. The first half of every game he fucking sucks. But then in the second half he’s killing it. I don’t know what it is. Maybe he has really good stamina? Maybe he takes a second to get used to the rusher? Idk
Total speculation, but is he hurt in some undisclosed way? How is he so much worse, at his age, in his contract year?
The guy is too slow to move out. He’d be awesome at guard or RT
The irony in this was OBJ commenting on other AFC West teams adding pass rushers in the off-season. I think he was quoted, “good luck against those guys with a backup LT.” And those guys (at least Chandler Jones) destroyed him. As the old saying goes seems Orlando Browns mouth wrote a check his ass couldn’t cash these pass rushers are costing him million$
Just like Frank Clark in his first two seasons here – do something in the playoffs and money will forget the rest.
