I remember back when this guy was in the supplemental draft (that's what it's called right?) I rooted for the 9ers to get him but we didn't He showed some promise but also proved to be an idiot with the Bengals but who doesn't right? He had enough potential that the 9ers picked him up right away when the Bengals let him go He showed enough to get invited back to camp I for one am REALLY hoping for this guy to realize his potential and show us something this year. He could really big a HUGE boost to the D, imagine if Brooks showed his college potential this year how awesome the D could be? Call it will be stick and show some of that potential on the filed or suck it up and get cut.

Brooks has been pretty active around the LOS these past two games. The move outside seems to fit him better. Still, for a guy with the talent he is supposed to have, he is not making an impact commensurate with the hype.

Geee, wonder why Coach Singletary puts a high value on "SACKS" ?

maybe he remembers the devastating 85 Bears who caused havoc on offenses around the league.

Yes, my friends.... SACKS are game changing events!

I miss Charles Haley, dem were the good ole days!

Well, give him time! And who could match that hype?

Ahmad Brooks will make the final roster only because the lack of depth behind Haralson and Lawson.

Which is sad since he is average.

I didn't see him playing last night and he's not listed with any tackles on the box scores, so unless he was hurt, that doesn't bode well for him.

Not good, IMO he is better than Manny Lawson

Maybe he can't cover by he has been all over the field making plays and while he hasn't shown he is a great pass rusher he has shown he can get some hurries unlike Manny.

How can a guy who has done nothing in a regular season game be considered better than Lawson? Hope he's alright b/c this team has no depth at all at OLB
