Keep Brooks' Running Club

I picked A. Brooks to be my breakout player of the season and he showed up again on Monday night. With Spencer he is the most underrated player on our defense. This guy has 5 sacks his last 5 games. He need to get him on the field more. Maybe start him across from Manny, or at least give him more of LaBoys time. Either way it was good to see him healthy enough to suit up after his training camp injury. So if you're with me welcome to BRC. [ Edited by global_nomad on Sep 21, 2010 at 21:08:11 ]

I'm just a fan, not a promotions dealer.

i like him too howevever i dont think we should start him remember haralson was just about doing the same thing on the bench im not saying there isnt a difference because it does look like brooks is faster adn more explosive however i think laboy should sart over haralson and have brooks come in much more

honestly i can see him having a sack a game

I hope Manusky will give him more time. He seems to do well and I would like to see if he can hold the edge on runs. He seems to be much more active and involved than Harolson. I would like to see Lawson, Willis, Spikes/Bowman, Brooks.

So you would bring a 16 sack LB off the bench? Tough crowd.

Brooks is a natural pass rusher. If he could pick up a little power and mix in some bull rushes, he would be another Freeney type.

best pass rusher we have. LaBoy is second. We definitely have to rotate these dudes in on a reg

Yeah even watching the game they still take Manny out and replace him before they take out Haralson. I'm for Brooks getting more playing time.

I think the plan is to give Brooks more playing time. I think they are going to ease him in though coming off the injury.

I think you are right, and I hope that Brooks gets more time and eventually replaces Harolson. Then Manusky will have to decide whether LaBoy will replace Lawson on 3rd downs.

Yes but I haven't seen Haralson run down a sweep/screen pass from the other end of the field. Brooks did it once yesterday. He is bigger (260), faster, quicker, stronger, and a much better rusher than Haralson. He is also very solid against the run and defended some passes last year.

Between Brooks and Manny, we have every down linebackers with Laboy giving them breathers in case one's legs get tired.
