Brooks is decent and he has a great first step. If there is an off sides it is 90% of the time him though cause he guesses a lot. He is big and fast and a good tackler. I think he would be good as a ILBer. But, Until Lemonier has proven himself more at stopping the run and in coverage Brooks will start.

This is going to be his last year as a 9er though. His salary is too high next season. Almost $10mill after his restructure, He will most likely be cut, take less pay, or be traded to a team in need of a complete OLBer who does have good QB pressure skills. I just hope if it is a trade it is better than a 7th rd pick again.

Wow. Brooks will earn 10 millions? s**t.. yeah. Thinking about take him cut moneys or trade it for 1st round. Brooks is cost trouble and stupid punishment as foul. . They give them play a again 1st from ravens at chamionship and threw the td.. it was fault by brooks. . . I was blame him s**t at Raven about 2 yrs ago.. he didn't well against at seahawks

You guys have some stats to back up your claims?

BuZzB28...SMH. You're embarrasing our fan base. Stop!

he was CRUCIAL in the final drive against the falcons, sending us to the Sb. Bowman got all the replays, but brooks made two huge plays just before that one.

Totally agree. Guy was a super star at Virginia. He was in the discussion for the 1 st pick his 3 rd year. If not for drugs and that knee he would have been a high first round pick.

The guy has restructured his deal to suit the team, twice if I remember correctly. And he is a fine player. I think he deserves better than this.

Yeah, he was pretty much the MVP of that game IMO.

That said, I still think Lemonier is already a better player than he & a future pro bowl OLB.

As we've gone over in this thread, restructuring is actually an advantage to Brooks financially. There is literally no down side to a player taking more money up front, so let's not make it sound like it was a selfless act.

And if your first reaction is to say it makes him more likely to be cut in the future, that is not true. It would be mathematically impossible for that to be true.

No. I am saying I think he deserves better than some of the comments in this thread.
