I was dumping on him before the season because of the legal issues but he's really showing up now.

As long he stops hitting teammates over the head with bottles he'll be fine.

Anyone?

i think you're right, i'm also drunk but i dont remember one since the super bowl.

Brooks is more experienced and a more well rounded player. He plays the run better and is better pass coverage than Aldon. But Aldon is younger with more physical ability and has yet to reach his full potential. He is also a better pass rusher.

It's a silly debate though. We have the best 4 LBs in the league by far and we will continue to have a great defense as long as Willis, Bowman, Aldon, and Brooks are on the field.

they're different players. ahmad can take a pick to the crib while aldon can get 5 sacks in a game. same position they play (kinda) but they do it very differently.
