    D'Brickishaw had a great game again this week vs some good pass rushers. The thing that really stood out to me is how smart and calm he is able to remain! When Phillips head-butted him, 99% of the players in the league would have retaliated and drawn the flag themselves. D'Brickishaw played it smart and let the Charges shoot themselves in the foot. This is a well coached player and a well coached team.

    The whole O-Line deserves props for an awesome win.

    But I definitely agree with you.

    This line is full of talent, smarts, and grit!

    When everyone was killing our game in the 2nd quarter, I knew it was a matter of time before they took over and began to dominate the front. That's just what they did, we got one hell of a crew up front!

    Year 1 & 2 ....Jets fans calling DBrick..".D-Bust".

    DBrick is one the Top LTs in the game and one of the most athletic.

    I'm just going to go ahead and say I was not in that league. Brick was always my favorite choice at #4.

    Everyone deserves 3 years to adjust to the NFL (even you Gholston). This is why. He just gets better and better each game, each year.
     

  8. I gotta tell ya...I'm not sure there's a better pass protector league wide. MAYBE Ryan Claddy....but D'brick is most def. in the top 3.

    I agree!!

    Kurt...you stuck by D-Brick.

    I could tell he had the potential to be an All-Pro. D-Brick got stronger the past couple of years which has taken his game to another level.

    I agree, I was happy to see our new (at that time) leadership using our 2 first round picks on D'Brickishaw and Mangold. It wasn't sexy (That would have been Matt Lienart, thank god it wasn't), but it showed a commitment to build the team from the inside out.

    Ryan Clady took a huge step back this season. Ferguson has finally become a franchise tackle!

    DBRick was an awesome pick. Alot of folks disagreed. I was a huge fan of DBRick / Mangold when we selected them and this is why. It takes time, but this is how you build a football team. Tannenbaum is DA MAN.

    Just think about what that draft did for our Offensive line and its future. We get D'Brick and, because Joanna Abraham was such a selfish woman, Nick Mangold in the first round.

    The two most important positions on the Offensive line and we got two corner stone, pro-bowl caliber guys in one draft.

    Loved the pick at the time but I must admit I had my doubts after year two. Last year, early in the year I quickly realized he had taken some giant steps forward and that has continued.

    On another note, I sat behind Bricks parents at the Bucs game this year. They travel to all his games and are super nice.

    I'll take my chances with him against the Colts D ends. I'm proud of his development

    Did anyone see his run blocking today? Wow has he grown into an elite LT.
