Seems like JoeCrisp was the only one paying real attention. Brown was effective when the Bears' scheme require that he line up to the outside (the left shoulder) of our TE. In those cases, Brown wasn't Samuels' direct responsibility; it was the responsiblity of our TE, who was closest to Brown and usually got overpowered due to size disadvantage. In fact, we should be giving Samuels credit for not falling for the scheme, because the scheme was intended to prompt Samuels to slide over, which would have allowed the linebackers to sneak into the area where Samuels would have vacated.
