NFL Roster Cuts: Detroit Lions Release Aaron Brown

by Sean Yuille on Sep 4, 2011 1:54 PM EDT in Detroit Lions News

Saturday may have been when most of the roster cuts were made by NFL teams, but the maneuvering is continuing on Sunday. Teams are trying to fine tune their rosters by bringing in players released by other teams, and the Detroit Lions are no exception.

On Sunday, the agent of running back Aaron Brown announced on Twitter that the Lions have parted ways with his client.

Lions release RB Aaron Brown for waiver claim they were awarded. Aaron can be claimed by other teams.less than a minute ago via UberSocial for BlackBerry Favorite Retweet ReplyJordan Woy

As his agent said, Brown was released because the Lions added somebody off waivers. Based on who was let go to make room on the roster for this new player, it's safe to say the waiver claim is a running back. Exactly who the player is remains a mystery for now, but I'm sure we will find out shortly.

Johnson wouldn't be a waiver claim

One of two positions

OL or RB…is my guess

Maybe a OG Max Jean-Gilles, or RB John Clay.

But Harrison has done it in regular season games, too.

I didn’t like Aaron Brown as much as some. He was fast, but good more for catching out of the backfield, not rushing. I wonder if he was still missing the mental part.

I would be surprised to see Raiola get traded for 2 reasons

1. I’m pretty sure he’s a team captain. He’s the signal caller on the line. He’s been with the Lions for years. As bad as he is at run blocking hes still one of the anchors of the line

2. Nobody wants to trade for an old center who can’t run block

by Kalzilla on Sep 4, 2011 2:35 PM EDT up reply actions

Reading up on Mcclendon, 6'3 324 lbs

Key words. Strong, Power, Good Run Blocking. He may be able to play Center. Knowing that, and also knowing the Colts drafted him, I’d say watch for this guy to have an impact maybe next season. He’s still young and physicality being his strength it’s no wonder he didn’t fit in with Indy’s philosophy. The Colts may have just been Mayhewed.

He's not God's Gift to Interior Lineman

He’s weak in the pass game, and while he’s strong in the short yardage run game he’s pretty suspect in sealing off at the second level. He’s a project, but he fits the scheme and most importantly it’s an eventual run-blocking upgrade. Keyword eventual.

I'm sorry let me check in my key words where I said

It was more making it out like we Mayhewed anyone

We picked a project player up off waivers and lost Aaron Brown for it. Just tempering the excitement a little.

by Mavyrk on Sep 4, 2011 2:55 PM EDT up reply actions

Ok referring to my original post I said and I quote

“I’d say watch for this guy to have an impact MAYBE next season” Sounds like I accounted for him being a project.

by fiendishdr.wu on Sep 4, 2011 2:57 PM EDT up reply actions

I'd say even "maybe" next season

Is a little too hopeful.

by Mavyrk on Sep 4, 2011 3:00 PM EDT up reply actions

And I'd say neither of us know that

I wasn’t doing backflips, I was just giving an update on what I’ve seen about him and saying he could potentially have an impact.

by fiendishdr.wu on Sep 4, 2011 3:02 PM EDT up reply actions

Overall I think we agree with each other, forgive me for the smart-assery

I just kinda erks me when I get treated like the 13-3 every year koolaid drowning crowd.

by fiendishdr.wu on Sep 4, 2011 3:06 PM EDT up reply actions

Nah.

Out of anyone, I’m probably one of the most optimistic regulars, you’ll never catch flack from me for being excited, but as far as I’m concerned this guy’s barely a Lion yet, so I can’t go overboard about him.

by Mavyrk on Sep 4, 2011 3:12 PM EDT up reply actions

The guy was cut right? Then that doesn't count.

by Jason Thieme on Sep 4, 2011 2:56 PM EDT up reply actions

like the move

Brown was only viable because he was on the roster and battling for a spot. Aside from receiving he did very little to impress or consider him a competent option at RB being maybe 4th string at best behind Best,MO, Harrison.

Where Best was drafted I think he has to prove that on two good feet he can carry the load. If not then next season w/ Leshoure hopefully back up and running strong they’ll know more than that answer and then some. So I think this move is as much about giving Best the nod as much as it is a possible incoming player to make sure the run game isnt as big of a concern going into the season.

WTF....

What are we going do when Jahvid goes down with an injury. Jahvid is soft if you ask me. I guess MoMo and Harrisson is our feature backs.

How do a couple turf toes and a couple concussions make you soft?

I don’t know why so many people are willing to write Jahvid off this early in his career.

by Mavyrk on Sep 4, 2011 5:19 PM EDT up reply actions

agree except the concussion part

Im on the Best boat dont get me wrong I think he has the potential to be a good RB. The one thing that is a concern has to be the concussions. However I really think that Schwartz sold Linehan on Best by saying if he was half as productive as Chris Johnson he’ll be a factor that can win games which we saw flashes of early on before the turf toes. Taking a great risk reward approach. Then they realized he’s not as good as they wanted for an in between the tackles and went for a young runner like Leshoure and w/ a young nucleus they could carry the ball for years to come splitting reps. Kinda had an idea that end of season RB stats if Best / Leshoure would have been featured as hoped would of went something like 6-800 yds and the other 1000-1200 yds rushing wise.

However as i stated above I really believe this is a nod for Best as well that he’ll be healthy and productive enough to carry the main load for the season. With MoMo and Harrison they’re not bad but they’re not a great RB team at same time they just need enough production to keep the defenses honest.

Thats Easy...

Every time the opposing team lays the lumber he’s always woozy,limping etc. I love the kid, I just wish he was more consistent on the field.My fingers are crossed hoping that Jahvid and Stafford can stay healthy for the entire season.
