Can you guys give your assessment of Mr Brown?

I read that in last years opener of the Steelers vs the Ravins, Jonathon Ogden gave up three sacks to Harrison (IIRC) and was beaten like a rented mule all day...Ogden!

I read that Brown gave up two. Is our Rottweiler a future guard dog or one of those that will let anybody pet him?

My opinion so far is Duane Brown looks very good for a rookie OLT. Seems quick, big, strong, smart, just needs time.

Brown is a rookie yes, but he better spend all his off hours studying tape of his opponents for this coming Sunday.

I like the guy. Rookie, he is. Yes he was beat. But he has potential to be great. He's quick and strong. Yes must study alot of tape on his opponents.

The true test here is how he responds to the a@# kicking he just got. they showed him several times after he was beaten and he just kinda had his head down. Hopefully he is using this as motivation for his next game. I just hope he hasnt lost his spark from this.

Or else you can consider this another wasted 1st rounder (David Carr, Travis Johnson)

He didn't play that bad. Once they fell behind it was stat padding time for the Pittsburgh Pass rush just as much as it was for the Texans offense. In the first half it was bad play by schaub much more than it was offensive line issues.

I have to disagree. The OL was whipped in the first half as well. Schaub didnt have a great outing, but there was zero push by the OL. The Pitt DL was in the backfield on every running and passing play. Look at the time Big Ben had vs. Schaub. With the exception of Mario, he was mostly untouched. The story of the game was that the Pitt D played on the Texans side of the line of scrimmage the entire game.

what game were you watching? as soon as he hiked the ball someone was past the line, run or pass the whole game. pretty hard to be consistent throwing something when you're running about....for as many questions as schaub has had i think he may have actually answered one: he is tough. he was getting hit a lot, picking himself up and moving on.
