PromoTheRobot Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Forgive me if this has been brought up. Like Beasley and the Cowboys, John Brown is facing his old team Sunday. Not only that, his role with the Ravens diminished when Jackson became the starter. I have to think Smoke will be extra motivated Sunday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo716 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Marcus Peter's is a ball hawk but is susceptible to double moves and shot plays Lull him to sleep with a bunch of square ins and comebacks then hit him with the double move over the top! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2catch Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I would guess it’s just another game for him. Baltimore didn’t do him dirty or anything. I’m guessing he was happy to get a half season of great stats to position himself for a good contract this year. Probably be more of a fun game for him vs a revenge kinda game. Good news is since Baltimore blitzes literally half their plays on defense Allen can have a monster game if he can complete anything over the top 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Costa Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Disagree they gave up on him. Definitely not a good fit for him once Lamar became starting QB. Smoke landed in a great spot!! Thank Jesus ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 (edited) I think the Bills should be more motivated after last year's Week 1 beatdown than Smoke. Edited December 7, 2019 by Rico 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoke landed in a great spot!! Thank Jesus ? I agree with your overall point. HOWEVER... It's super weird to me to think that John Brown is somehow not a fit for the Ravens offense, but Hollywood Brown somehow is. They're both fast, shifty dudes that have insane speeds and are killer on drags and go routes. They even have the same last name. Does not compute. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 29 minutes ago, Paul Costa said: Disagree they gave up on him. Well....they did use a 1st round pick to draft Marquise Brown, who has slightly better numbers than John Brown put up last year. 29 minutes ago, Paul Costa said: Definitely not a good fit for him once Lamar became starting QB. Smoke landed in a great spot!! Thank Jesus ? It's probably unclear if they gave up on him, or if he simply felt he'd do better elsewhere where he could run a full route tree.

Steptide Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 If Brown wants to have a 10 catch, 150 yard day tomorrow, I'm all for it 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locomark Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Anyone who thinks he won’t be extra motivated tomorrow is crazy. Brown is due for at least 2 gash plays on them tomorrow. I figure he goes 6 for 80 with 2 of those play alone going for 40 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoke landed in a great spot!! Thank Jesus ? Just like in college, the majority of Lamar’s throws are relatively short and between the numbers. That’s why Tight Ends are such a big part of his passing game. To Baltimore’s credit they designed an offense where he doesn’t have to do much more than what did in college. Brown’s skill set probably doesn’t match up well in that scheme. We should be glad for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something along those lines, I may be mistaken. He was a FA, and wanted a multi-year deal. The Ravens couldn’t pay what the Bills offered, so his time with the Ravens clearly helped him get what he wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was with the Cardinals longer and was on a prove it one year contract in Baltimore. But if it helps motivate the team like it did in Dallas, I’m all for it. I’m really hoping for the chance crowd surfing to become a tradition as John Brown lights up his former team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick the Greek Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 He was a FA, and I think he got paid. He’s not a vindictive guy. That said, I think he’d LOVE to stick it to his former employer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
