After a week of research, the three "base" players for Brandon's comparison will be Aaron Ross of the Giants, LaRon Landry of the Redskins, and Eric Wright of the Browns. There exists multiple contingent provisos in how these young talents were chosen. First, there are both Corner Backs and Safeties. I originally had planned and hoped to dissect simply Brandon's counterparts, Safeties. However, after reviewing the first two rounds of the draft, there were not sufficient safety draftees who have amassed enough playing time, and thus results, to build a matrix with respect to Brandon's. Thus, a
defensive back approach will be taken. Second, because of the presence of both positions, although part of the same micro unit, the ability to investigate and evaluate the unique responsibilities Brandon shoulders across each of these players and their respective positions affords itself. After 7 weeks of the season, here are the principle stats each "base" has produced:
Aaron Ross, CB(Texas) - NY Giants
Tackles: 21 Solo: 17 Sacks: 1 PD: 7 INT: 3 FF: 0
Game High Tackles: 8(Wk 7 vs San Francisco)
LaRon Landry, S(LSU) - Washington Redskins
Tackles: 35 Solo: 21 Sacks: .5 PD: 2 INT: 0 FF: 0
Game High Tackles: 12 (Wk 3 vs NY Giants)
Eric Wright, CB(UNLV) - Cleveland Browns
Tackles: 44 Solo: 41 Sacks: 1 PD: 5 INT: 1 FF: 0
Game High Tackles: 10(Wk 2 vs Cincinnati)The above numbers also reflect the unit each was drafted into and will be taken into account. Is Brandon's playing time less because of veterans Asante Samuel and Randall Gay?
