Brown at Practice Today

Beast. He still has a few very good years left in him.

As predicted, Brown impressed everyone on Day 1 as a Seahawk ...

“He just ran about 50 plays and he didn’t have even a glitch in any part of it,” Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. “That’s pretty remarkable.”

“He looked great out there,” offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said after practice. “Just being able to step in and just be able to flow with the offense today was really impressive.”

Added offensive line coach/assistant head coach Tom Cable: “He has the fortune early in his career of playing in almost the identical system for about five, six years, so the transition is going quite well. Terminology, landmarks, aiming points, communication, a lot of similarity. So it’s a matter of recalling for him… It’s not like you’re teaching someone brand new. He’s done it at a very high level, and based on what I’ve seen on tape from Sunday watching him play, our guys, and then at practice today, he’s going to add a really cool dimension.”

Not surprising whatsoever, as Cable's system is virtually identical to Alex Gibbs' system that Duane Brown is steeped in. IMO, herein lies the hidden value of adding a guy like a Duane Brown. Besides bringing above-average to Pro Bowl level play to the LT position ... he can also be that coach on the field, helping young guys like Ifedi, Pocic, and others learn the nuances of the zone blocking system and the tricks of the trade.

Great addition that's going to pay huge dividends IMO.
