Alex Brown to retire as a Bear tonight

Featured Replies

I'm pleasantly surprised. He only played for us for 8 years and it's not like he had a Hall of Fame career with us. That it was still important for him to end things as a Bear says that to him, being a Bear really meant something.

Looks like we got rid of Alex at the right time, at least. Before the 2010 season. His last two years with us he had 12 sacks combined. That's almost as many sacks over a two year period as he had in his entire career. The only better set of two seasons was 2005 & 2006 when he had 13 combined sacks. But the year after we let him go, he had 2 sacks with the Saints, and a year after that he was out of the NFL.

The main thing that will stand out to me about Alex's play with us was the way he would intelligently read screen plays, dropping off the rush to tip the thrown pass, if not pick it, or make the tackle for only a short reception.
