Thought I would start this thread to discuss Bryce Brown. ***DYNASTY ROOKIE SLEEPER, NOT REDRAFT***

Just a gut feeling I have on him but if the Eagles can keep Brown focused and committed he may be the perfect compliment back to McCoy. Can't think of a better place for him to land after seeing how well Reid works with players of troubled pasts. Lewis isn't going anywhere and would still be the primary backup to McCoy.

Brown gives the power/speed combo they hoped to sign with Ronnie Brown last year.

As for his past, his behavior was definitely flaky but reminds me a TON of Marques Dupree and the situation at Oklahoma during the early 80's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Dupree). Lots of talent BUT lots of poor football and college decisions likely based on BAD advice and fluffed ego.

Positives: Can't teach his size and speed combo. Very fast and capable on all three downs. NFL body.

Negatives: Repeat quitter. Puts self over team. If he has too much success too fast he could potentially campaign to the media for playing time, hold out and become a general distraction to the club.

Final thoughts:

Some players are meant to play professional sports more than be a college athlete. Dupree was an example of a pro-ready RB who never lived up to that potential because of the NCAA system and inability to play the game. We are used to it in baseball and in basketball but rarely is there that situation in football. And when there is we generally end up with nightmares like Mike Williams (BMW) or Maurice Clarrett who fight the system and/or overvalue their own talent.

Also, considering the coach who left the Vols after one season (Kiffin) you can't quite blame the kid as he had a very poor example from his leader on what commitment means.

i think waldman made a previous thread.

you can only live off high school for so long. show me something on tape now. i think he beats out polk because polk is doomed for practice squad until he can lower his pad level

 
How many touches would he get even if he is the primary backup to McCoy? I mean assuming McCoy is healthy I can't envision a scenario where Brown cracks the top 30. There's just no opportunity here IMO except as a potential handcuff (and I still think Dion Lewis is the handcuff anyway).

If I'm going with a rookie sleeper I'm not banking on injury to make it happen, I'm looking for someone who has a legit opportunity for playing time and could potentially beat out his competition - someone like Dan Herron comes to mind.

 
Brown is certainly talented, 2009 film from Tennessee he shows quality vision, acceleration, and receiving ability out of the backfield.

I've got some sources in the K-State program who told me Brown basically just didn't work hard. he's kind of a knucklehead but not a bad kid. Stat line for KSU was 3 carries, 3 yards, 2 fumbles.

Certainly NOT Marcus Dupree. I remember talking to Chris Mortensen about Dupree when Adrian Peterson came out of college, and I think Dupree could have been ADP special. Brown isn't in the same league.

I like his talent (don't LOVE it) and question whether or not he'll finally "get it." Everyone is talented in the pro level, it's hard work that separates the competition.

Watched the documentary on Dupree and so sad that a concussion that was missed by the team probably was the catalyst for leaving Oklahoma and so many of his problems. He seemed like an amazing kid too.

Whether or not he's talented, I disagree that its a good landing spot. McCoy is 23, just signed an extension for the long-term and is really talented. Reid has been a guy who generally has given 1 RB the majority of the touches. McCoy has been pretty durable to boot. Plus, the Eagles don't run the ball all that much. In addition, Dion Lewis is really young and looked good as the #2.In short, I think the Eagles are arguably the worst landing spot for a young RB right now because there's not much of a clear path either short or long-term to getting a significant number of touches. Hard to see much of a path to fantasy relevancy unless McCoy gets injured and a guy can beat out a pretty talented backup in Dion Lewis.

Brown's best hope might be getting cut and ending up on a team without a young franchise RB already in place.

It's obviously not an ideal situation, but I don't think it's as bad as you're making it out to be. Obviously McCoy is a fantastic RB who will get the large majority of carries as long as he's healthy; but if McCoy gets injured Bryce Brown's only competition is a 5'7 5th round pick with 23 career NFL carries. Maybe I'm underselling Dion Lewis a little bit, but at the very least I think Dion's small stature will result in Bryce getting all goal line carries as well as a sizable load with the potential for more.
 
All this Bryce Brown/Chris Polk talk is silly to me. I think Dion Lewis is a buy low in all dynasty leagues. He is one of the best backups in the league, is still very young, and could be had for next to nothing. He would be perfect for the Eagles offense were McCoy to go down.

 
I agree that Dion Lewis is the McCoy handcuff but Brown (and/or Polk) can fill a different look in the offense because their game is different. The point is that Lewis is more blocked by what McCoy already offers than Brown.

We're talking about a 7th round pick and mining for prospects...not predicting the future. There are a ton of negatives that make his success (or Polk's) very unlikely but in the event they succeed, the payoff is well worth the low risk and investment.

I love Dion Lewis and think he'd be a Top 10 fantasy RB if McCoy went down.I've seen many people write him off because he's blocked by McCoy for a few years. So a significant injury couldn't happen to McCoy in the meantime? Lewis is a very good young talent in a very good offense ... he's got as much upside as any current backup NFL RB in the league IMO.I think he's very comparable in talent to Ray Rice. :2cents: And Lewis is not expensive at all.

Brown is definitely gaining a little steam. Camp should give us a side-by-side comparison of all three RBs. Maybe he just needed to hit rock bottom to realize the work ethic that is needed, but I'm betting the natural born talent as high school RB1 didn't just vanish. It's just a different path taken.

This has been out for a few days now, but thought I'd add this in (July 24, 2012|By Jonathan Tamari, Inquirer Staff Writer):

With veterans yet to report, Brown got the first-team snaps Monday and Polk ran with the second team.

Unlike the 5-foot-8 Lewis, Brown and Polk offer size and power.

"They're not little guys. It's been a long time since I had that many backs with size and with appreciable speed," running backs coach Ted Williams said.

Williams seemed especially enthusiastic about Brown, who at first blush looks faster and more athletic.

"He's extraordinary in that with his size, he has little-man skills," Williams said of Brown, listed at 6-0, 220 pounds. Quiet and reserved, with braided hair that spirals around his head, Brown looks as if he could plow through a linebacker. "He's strong. I can't wait to see him in pads and see how physical he's going to be."

While Brown had just three competitive carries in the last two years, Williams had an idea of what the Eagles might get when they drafted him 229th overall.

"I worked him out, I spent time with him and his family and I got to know him," Williams said. "I have a friend who lives in the town where he grew up and knew him as a child. I have a lot of faith in this person."

His time with Brown indicates that the Eagles weren't just taking a flier on him.

"This organization gave me a chance, gave me an opportunity, and I'm appreciative for it," Brown said. "That's really what I try to focus on. . . . I have to get better and show these guys that I am worthy of the last pick."

Williams said Brown is growing up.

"Of all the young kids I am coaching, he appears to be the one who has his mind focused on what he wants to get done," Williams said.

Lewis will be the new Ben Tate once Tate has a starting job. Thing is, that may be elsewhere leaving an opening for Shady's backup and that could be the winner of the Bryce vs. Polk battle. I think Bryce has a higher ceiling, so I'm more interested in him but I'll be monitoring both regardless.
 
I'm not sure what anyone could have seen in Lewis last year. Other than a meaningless week 17 game against Washington, he never had more than 2 carries in a game. I'd be surprised if he ever becomes a relevant FF RB at 5'7", 193 pounds.

Prior to that, he was in the Big East. While there, he had one great year as a redshirt freshman. In 2010, he wasn't any better than his backup.

Ray Graham. This is the same thing that alarms me about Lewis. He had one GREAT NCAA year and I mean great. He won me my NCAA FF league as a FA grab in '09. Huge #s, like Top3 RB type getting you 25-35/week so consistently and with ease. Then the next year he fell off, a lot. So I view it as a flash in the pan type season and he was never the same since that one year. Add in the weak Big East conference, the size and marginal draft stock hype and physical showing.

My notes from that season say played through injury, I don't remember specifics and quick search is coming up blank though. This is why I write stuff down because the internet has a way of hiding old info that only dynasty nerds like me care about.

If I recall, they both may have played hurt a good bit with small nagging injuries and they both split time to spell each other. Graham was a rook or new up and comer so he was getting looks and worked in, but it seemed like they wanted him to take the job over Lewis and get more PT than him. If Lewis had that type of season the year prior, you don't split that up that much at the NCAA level, you ride him. You make Graham wait his turn if you have a top 3 stud NCAA RB. That didn't seem to be the case, Graham was the better talent as Lewis fell off. Maybe it was injuries, I'm not exactly sure though.
 
Brown looks like a high priority pick up if he is available in your league. He is only owned in 5% of leagues on CBS currently. Not only are the Eagles struggling with little reason to risk further injury to Shady but the concussion McCoy suffered sounds pretty serious. First of all they used a cart to take him off the field, you rarely see that with concussions. Secondly there is this report from the post game locker room:

"If you saw LeSean McCoy after the Eagles’ loss to the Washington Redskins, you’d suggest he take the rest of the season off.

Squinting, and unsteady on his feet, McCoy didn’t seem to know anyone or what he was doing post-game."

:unsure:

Obviously little is known right now concerning McCoy's official medical diagnosis, but it is pretty easy to envision a scenario where Shady does not play another down this season.

Everyone seemed up in arms that they weren't feeding McCoy the ball more and/or using him properly. Now the team is suddenly going to take that advice and give it to his rookie replacement? Stranger things have happened I guess but I'm not really seeing it.
 
McCoy aint playing next week- no erason for pil to march him out there even if it was a mild concussion.

Bryce Brown was effective as a change of pace, but thats all he ever will be in this league.

The kid has shown a major lack of heart in his playing hdays dating back to HS and UT.

Chuch!!

 
Shady is injured and it appears he will miss at least a couple of games. It sounds like a severe concussion and we know Javid Best got shut down for the year and probably never should have come back so soon after his severe college concussion so, speculation on my part, I wouldn't be shocked if a decision was made to err on the side of caution and shut down McCoy for the rest of this year since Philly isn't challenging for anything and they have a lame-duck head coach and they just shut down their QB for the rest of this year who also suffered a concussion.

Basically the point is, this is a clean slate and a golden opportunity for RB Bryce Brown so lets take a look at the rookie.

RB Bryce Brown

6' 0", 223 lbs

Philadelphia Eagles

Birth DateMay 14, 1991 (Age: 21)

He only has 32 rushing attempts all year for 141 yards (4.4 yards per carry), 1 TD, 1 fumble with only 1 reception for 8 yards.

In the first seven games Bryce had 20 rushing attempts for 56 yards for 2.8 yards per carry.

In the last three games he's had 12 rushing attempts for 85 yards for 7.08 yards per carry.

He's never had more than 5 rushing attempts in any game yet so we really don't know what he can do with more carries but he's got nice size and lately it seems like he's started to flash. We haven't seen anything to suggest he can be productive catching the ball.

As a running back who had been coming on before an injury propelled him into the spotlight where he should see a significant increase in attempts and where he might get a shot to be a full-time back for the rest of the year, he has to be the biggest waiver wire pickup of this week and might be in-season the waiver wire find of this season.

Every fantasy owner should be have some sort of interest in Bryce Brown.

really ?

A source tells ProFootballTalk.com that Michael Vick (concussion) could be cleared to play by Week 12.

Ah, you are right to question that statement. I am wrong. The Eagles have not shut down Vick for the season. I wasn't following the proceedings in Philly and was basing that on the injury reports of Vick and speculation I had heard.The Eagles have not announced that they have shut-down Michael Vick for the rest of this year.

The switch to Foles along with the previous injury reports of a serious concussion are why I thought that had already happened.

Michael Vick Injury: Eagles QB's Concussion Is 'Pretty Significant,' Coach Andy Reid Says

PHILADELPHIA — His head pounding and his play erratic, Michael Vick's time could be up in Philadelphia.

Once considered the long-term answer at quarterback after a sensational 2010, Vick's already uncertain future with the Eagles was placed further in doubt Monday after he was diagnosed with a "pretty significant" concussion...
Click to expand...
 
Has McCoy been officially ruled out of the MNF game? I have been assuming that he will be unable to play; however, it seems that the McCoy injury has been downgraded somewhat from the original prognonis.....I am basing that solely off of CBS Sportsline calling the McCoy injury a "slight" concussion.

If we assume for a moment that Shady is OUT for Monday - will Brown split carries with anyone?

More powerful than Shady and likely a better blocker to boot. This kid has the goods.

Damn impressive what he's done after limited work the past few years.

And he just tossed Dion Lewis (who I happen to believe is one of the most talented backup RB's in the league) in short order.

Nice last round pick by the Eagles.

In the last three games he's had 12 rushing attempts for 85 yards for 7.08 yards per carry.

He's never had more than 5 rushing attempts in any game yet so we really don't know what he can do with more carries but he's got nice size and lately it seems like he's started to flash. We haven't seen anything to suggest he can be productive catching the ball.

As a running back who had been coming on before an injury propelled him into the spotlight where he should see a significant increase in attempts and where he might get a shot to be a full-time back for the rest of the year, he has to be the biggest waiver wire pickup of this week and might be in-season the waiver wire find of this season.

Every fantasy owner should be have some sort of interest in Bryce Brown.

So the original poster makes a call on Bryce six months ago.You add to the thread seven days ago.

And you bump YOUR post?

Nice call by the OP... I drafted this guy in the 4th round of a dynasty draft based strictly on his talent. Might end up paying off nicely.
