Summary

A few days ago, I received a text from Chad Brown. He read our column on the wide receiver matrix and had thoughts on the topic from his playing days. After going back ‘n forth for a while, we decided to hit record on a podcast. Love welcoming back one of the most underrated players of the late 1990s/early 2000s. Brown is always insightful and introspective. On this episode, we get into plenty: * Tom Brady’s mid-life crisis. This is getting weird and sad. * Wide Receiver drama. There were no such divas back on his Steelers teams, but how would Brown navigate this matrix as a GM today? * John Schneider’s mastery. He wrote the Seahawks GM a letter. * His love for snakes. Brown didn’t sprint the other direction when a python sank its teeth into his arm. Be sure to catch Shannon Sharpe’s legendary trash talk. He knew Brown loved reptiles and didn’t hold back one Seattle-Denver game. * Seahawks’ repeat efforts. What impressed Brown most about last year’s run? * State of the Steelers. What is Omar Khan’s long-term plan? * Why he loves the L.A. Rams’ title odds. He sees those multi-TE sets ruling again. Video and audio of this week’s chat is above.

Brown, a three-time Pro Bowler, played 15 seasons in all with 1,091 career tackles, 79 sacks, 19 forced fumbles, 15 fumble recoveries and six interceptions. He was a key piece on the epic “Blitzburgh” defenses of the 90s, starred for the Seahawks and capped his career off with the 2007 Patriots team that nearly went undefeated. Today, he’s one of the sharpest analysts going. You can catch him on ESPN Radio and calling college/pro games on the Compass Media Network. His X handle is @chadbrown94. We’ve previously chatted…
