I'm glad they sent him there...he needs practice and he should be able to do really good there. They also sent Aki Jones and 6 others

Good move. They see the raw speed that Brown has and are looking to improve his hands.

Good Idea

This is strange, just yesterday I was afraid that he might not return next season and thought it would be better to allocate him to NFL Europe rather than release him again. His explosive speed will keep him around a little longer as long as he improves his recieving skills. This is a guy who was said to be better than Santana back in their High School days so you know he is capable.

With all this talent the redskins will be a force for many years to come......

70Chip · 01-27-2006, 07:19 PM

This is a great chance for him to learn how to field punts. And catch passes.

Sammy Baugh Fan · 01-27-2006, 07:39 PM

AND he went to the team I support and who are last year's Champs the Amsterdan Admirals!!!!
Yes!

Ya'll should follow the NFLE a little bit in this off season. They have an 8 week season and only 6 teams.

Hey, they are trying to cram soccer down out throats lets get REAL Football going over there I say.

Go Admiral Antonio Brown!

he needs it. right now he's just a track guy with minimal football skills.

It would be amazing if he came back with golden hands, and learned when to fair catch and when to not.

Duffman003 · 01-27-2006, 09:21 PM

i hope he's the next dante hall

Skins_4_Lyfe · 01-27-2006, 10:05 PM

It is obvious that he lacks awareness on the football field... what better place for players to improve in this category.

MTK · 01-27-2006, 11:18 PM

Can they fit him with a new pair of hands over there, or perhaps show him when to fair catch a punt?

Better yet, they need to fit him with a bigger scrotum and some bulkier balls, because when fielding punts he acts like a squirrel caught in the middle of the street who can't decide which way to run. He's so jittery and fearful of contact, often downright intimidated.

All I think he needs is to build some confidence. The return game is pretty much two things, if you have them both, you can be a stud:
1) Blazing speed with some moves
2) The balls to run full speed at the oncoming coverage team, and confidence in yourself to find a small crease and hit it with authority.

Basically you just run straight towards oncoming traffic. Right now he's way too scared to do it right. But if he can build confidence in NFL Europe, that's all I think he needs to be great.

70Chip · 01-28-2006, 02:07 AM

I think he just needs some fundamentals on the punts. Parcells says there are two reasons punt returners fumble: They are either drifting or reaching. He needs to learn how to run to the spot and set up rather than floating lazily under it.

Playing in Amsterdam will give a whole new meaning to the phrase "Antonio Brown has blazin' speed"...or "His goal of playing professional football was more than just a pipe dream"

I didn't even Jonathan Combs was still on the roster, by the way.
