How much has losing Damari Brown hurt?

[JamesQuall]

Is he coming back this year or what?

I hope so but he may not. With Mario at the helm we will never know.

And if he does it may not be until game 11. He was still in a boot with his knee up on a scooter 3 weeks ago. I'm not sure you can go from putting no weight on a leg to playing football in less than 6-8 weeks.

*this is coming from somebody that has less than 0 insider knowledge.

It is kinda wild how you never hear OJs name for as many plays as we give up on defense

I think I saw one pass go his way today and he played it perfectly

Exactly the way I want it to be for a boundary CB. QB doesn't even look their way. I would like to hear @Memnon 's opinion on him so far.

I think it's a little like Chris Gamble when he was at the Panthers.

He was pretty good, but everyone else was so much easier to target that the opposing QB / OC barely threw his way.

Get Damari back and play Zaquan more and our defense looks different

 

[smack99]

Brown ain’t Revis. Does it hurt? Maybe some but yall acting like the dude is an elite CB or something.

I think Damari coming back is just a pipe dream at this point

I can always count on you to give us a Carolina Panther update no one asked for

You're welcome.

Who would have thought we would be missing DJ Ivey and Jaden Davis

 

[RangerGranger]

We just need one corner to step up and we'll be fine.

Dyami Hill or Ja'Dais Richard -- who is going to make some money??

This used to happen on our OL before Mario got here

We would lose one competent player and it would be more devastating than it should be because there was no depth and then people gotta switch positions

related unrelated here, but Bell was in with Rivers, but didn't notice who they sub'ed out nor how long, I caught on to it late. Did you happen to notice?

uhhhh look at the scoreboard

I noticed that too I’m assuming McCoy got hurt? Rivers being a good option at guard and then Bell playing solid lately probably the lesser of two evils?

That would make alot of sense, hope McCoy is fine.

He’s talented but still quite a bit inexperienced so who knows

The one that got away. Huge portal miss.

Announcers call him Indiana's best CB and a lock down corner. Likely a big reason Indiana is undefeated. SMH, what could've been.

Prob would have forgot how to play DB the moment he landed in Coral Gables

This dawg isn't leaving any meat on the bone. Been disrespected for his size too long. He's a lock down corner. Now the question is do we back up the brinks next cycle and somehow figure out a way to pry him from Indiana.

Say what you want but he made a smart move going to Indiana lol

I think we’ve seen with Rivers and Bain how much losing them affected their position group and the difference they make. Can the same be said for Brown?

Not sure we’d have the horses even with him to be decent, but just think his injury has played a big role in others playing who wouldn’t have played as much or in as important positions at CB

Or am I totally off base

Are we sure Damari Brown is the savior? It's easy to point to the people not playing and crown them.
