I wasn't kidding when I asked if there was a better interior defensive lineman mostly due to the fact that officials turned a blind eye to the abuse that Brown had to endure.
I get letting them play or getting away with the nit picky stuff but you have to flag them at least twice on the most egregious stuff just to let the offensive linemen know that they can't hold with impunity...only they never did.
And coach O made it a point to let him and marlon know after.
He also owned the Outland trophy winner from Oregon head to head. Someone on twitter compiled a clip with their head to head matchups during the game.
He somehow, in a time of hype and flash, was a generational player at his position with almost no recognition.
Sure, he's getting his due in the post-season/career banquet gauntlet, but he's getting a fraction of the Wilfork/Seymour/Suh/Fairley pub...and he's twice the player of half that roster.
If he chooses to play a "full" NFL career, whatever that means for a trench-beast NT these days, I have no doubt that he'll be a statistical freak in more than a few categories.
