Popular Post TeamRamrod Posted November 23, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) I thought I had made this into a thread back in August but looks like I just made a post, so I thought I would throw it up here for those interested: ”For what it’s worth, I just watched some Aaron Brewer and looked into him more since the media did a piss poor job of it. Watched a game from 2018 where he was at center against New Mexico State. As you can imagine from his size, not the most powerful guy. A bit of a catcher with his hands. Very good understanding of leverage and knowing how to position his body to cut off defenders at the point of attack. Can see why the staff might be interested in that skill set. Watched a game from last season where he started at RT. Apparently he also played LT quite a few times. Clearly very versatile in that regard. He was the player they highlighted as the best player on Texas States offense lol and commentator referred to him as a freak athlete FWIW. Looked MUCH better with his hands. Honestly was impressive at RT. The summary: Based on some quick game watching and research. I think the Titans probably think this guy might be a hidden gem. Needs to get stronger and bigger, but seems to be a good zone guy. Very versatile with starts all over the offensive line. I went from knowing nothing about him to hoping he sticks on the team throughout the season and develops into a starter some day. Want to emphasize this was not a full study though and I’ll probably look like an ass if he gets cut tomorrow when they add someone else.” Thought it might be interesting to some unfamiliar with him after (according to PFF. I don’t have Game Pass to break it down lol) he played so well yesterday. Here’s to hoping we indeed did find a hidden gem.

titanskick8851 Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 Thanks for pulling that back up. Clearly the staff really liked something in him to actually have him make the original 53-man roster and in the process has become the main Interior OL back up. An off-season of prep, meal plan, and strength program and he will really be able to compete next year. I think he is the future starter at LG or C when Saffold/Jones are done. tgo, and TeamRamrod 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgo Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 I'm expecting him to eventually start either at RG or center for us, as @titanskick8851 said - he could be the eventual replacement for either Jones or Saffold.

Seems like it was forever ago that people were wondering if he was a bust... IsntLifeFunny, Starkiller, TeamRamrod, and 4 others 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guts Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 Shouldn't be hard for him to add some weight once he gets a year or two into an NFL program. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. We brought in a lot of those type of players as free agents that have been in the league a while. Not to many that we drafted or brought in as an undrafted.

ChemEngr79 Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) I keyed on Brewer on about 20 snaps yesterday, and while he occasionally looks like he is "lacking mass" he mostly looked solid and very athletic. If we can put 20lbs on him, he will probably be able to be a very serviceable (and dirt cheap) IOL for the near future. Cap wise, we have some difficult choices coming up next year. Maybe he is part of the solution. Edited November 23, 2020 by ChemEngr79 Bluth 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 Can someone fill me in here? I listened to the game on the radio since I was driving most of Sunday afternoon. Did Saffold not play? Who filled in when Ben Jones got hurt? I assumed he filled in at center but that doesn’t appear to be the case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas came in and promptly snapped it over Henry's head in the wildcat for a huge loss near the goal line. Thrill 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness why the fuck call a wildcat play when Jamil Douglas comes in for one play at center. Backed up to. I mean cmon. Coordinators take too much blame at times but it also needs to be pointed out when they try to get too smart for their own good. This was stupid.
