And to Brock. When you take a STRAIGHT MAN TO MAN CORNER, and make him do nothing but play Zone, hes going to look like shit. What do the niners play? Oh, right, MAN TO MAN. WHile he will never be the Nnamndi of his raider days, lol, hes only going to have to cover his man for a max of 3 seconds before someone is in that backfield.......

Tarell Brown is the 49ers best CB.

Like I said, Tarell Brown is the 49ers best CB. Don't worry Snoopy, I wouldn't expect a Cleveland fan to know this. But it is so obvious even the dillweeds on BR know it. But they probably aren't Cleveland fans, so...

Some will argue that a great pass rush helped Tarell Brown, and it definitely does make his job easier, but his ability to stick in man coverage and run with wide receivers stood out this past season. Brown doesn’t pull down a lot of interceptions—he had just two in the regular season and one in the playoffs—but he is able to limit receptions and yardage.

Brown will give up catches, but they will be short-yardage catches thrown underneath while he plays off the line of scrimmage in coverage. He closes on the ball well but doesn’t have the length to jump routes and rack up interceptions. What he does well is plant and go to play the pass in front of him. He can get a little lost on deep routes, but that area improved considerably in 2012.


Run Defense
10/15

Brown’s exceptional ability to make tackles in space keeps his run defense score high, but when engaged by blockers—be it a wide receiver or fullback—Brown struggled to come free and make a play on the ball. He was inconsistent here throughout the year.


Tackle
15/15

A tough tackler on the edge, Brown does a good job pulling down runners whether they’re coming right at him or if he’s trailing in pursuit. One of the best tacklers in the NFL during the 2012 season, Brown didn’t miss one tackle in the 19 games we saw on the year.


Overall
88/100

Brown was targeted often in 2012, but he did a good job limiting receptions while establishing himself as an elite tackler.

Brown was tied at No. 28 in last year's B/R 1000.
