Most of Brown's sacks allowed were in the first few games going against some of the top rushers in the league. Kubiak has said several times that he is very pleased with Brown's progress. BTW, Salaam didn't alternate every other series with Brown. He came in every third series and less so in the last few games. People remember sacks, and it's easy to look back on a sack he gave up on a bullrush and conclude he is not strong. I think he is adequately strong, adequately physical, very athletic and has a very desirable disposition.
I would expect him to be stronger next season, after an off-season weight program. I would expect his technique and footwork to improve after going through a rookie season.
Having said all that, painkiller's line would be awesome.
