This....but but but....he was an awful run blocker in a passing league.

In an offense which values running the outside zone and runs it at a higher percentage than any other team, a guy who can't block the outside zone is a major liability and will always be one.

So the solution was

A. Keep Trent Brown, hope he manages to remain halfway motivated after getting a huge pay day and have Kyle change his offensive philosophy and run something different than his preferred offense

B. Trade him, select the best tackle available, one that is a better fit scheme-wise and will cost you a lot less money long term.

I sure don't recall you saying this when he was on the roster. You're a very good poster but your tune can totally change on a player once he's off the roster. You're not the only one though.

Lmao!!!

Yeah! Silly me, expecting a guy to show up in good shape for his contract year and not 30-40 pounds overweight. Particularly in an offense that puts such a premium on tackle mobility.

Brown at 350 was already pushing the envelope in a scheme where most tackles are 40 pounds lighter. Instead of dropping weight to get quicker as many expected, he went completely in the opposite direction.

i get that he came in out of shape when he was asked to get in shape, and we do run a zone blocking scheme, however, he is an elite pass protector. we just traded him to a team that mostly passes, doesn't run a outside zone read, and he's gonna play LT. he's gonna do great, and we gave him away for basically nothing is what bothers me the most. i get that he didn't fit our scheme, but he fits other teams schemes really well. we should've gotten AT LEAST a 3rd round pick for him.
