'18 DC CB DJ Brown (Notre Dame Signee)

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

Thought DJ played well this year and showed big improvements over 2020. Hope he can get himself some playing time Bc I think he has a chance to get drafted. Will be tougher now with Joseph in the fold.

DJ had a rough start to the year but showed significant improvement as the season went on.

 

[Dale]

Suddenly down 2 safeties

 

[irishff1014]

Fumble recovery holy shit

 

[Dale]

ND needs this injury and Henderson to not be serious. Watts/Griffith ain’t it and the CBs still need the shade help.

 

[SouthSideChiDomer]

Looks like he's back for another year. That should ease some of the concerns about Safety.

 

[Dale]

Begun to get that vibe the way reporters were taking

 

[notredomer23]

Secondary should be pretty dang good if they stay healthy. Great to have a veteran back there.

 

[CanadalovesND]

In terms on continuity and depth, it's a good move.

His play dropped off the second half of the season, and wasn't near as good as it was in 2021.

Still, it keeps depth from being a concern.

Welcome back, D. J.

 

[Te'o4Heisman]

Nice, it could be shaping up to be a pretty solid roster for 2023. If some of the younger from 7 on D take a step forward it would be huge.
Brown, Henderson, Watts, and maybe a move of Clarence Lewis to safety would give Golden some nice personnel to work with.

 

[irishff1014]

Experience on the back end of the defense shouldn't be an issue.

 

[Luckylucci]

Makes a lot more sense to bring back DJ versus search portal for another. Thumbs up

 

[irishff1014]

Another name that’s being used In The EE and transfers videos. They are talking about his leadership and his willingness to help them get settled in. Great job DJ!

Ugh

 

[NDMatt91]

Probably need 2 Safeties from the portal this offseason.

 

[irishff1014]

That was almost as bad as the int he dropped.

 

[DillonHall]

He either takes a terrible angle and is unable to even two-hand touch the ball-carrier, or he whiffs just like that clip. So pathetic.

 

[IA4irish]

Probably need 2 Safeties from the portal this offseason.

Not being facetious. Do we need 3?

 

[ColinKSU]

Probably need 2 Safeties from the portal this offseason.

If only Notre Dame had a good safeties coach.

 

[Luckylucci]

Ugh

Who’s to say a 3rd portal S would be better?

Considering we brought in two S’s and only one plays. I stand by this. While Brown is not playing particularly well, who knows what we would’ve gotten from another.

I also add that at that time, we had no idea this team stopped practicing tackling and it was going to be this poor across the board.

 

[Giddyup]

If only Notre Dame had a good safeties coach.

Pfft. I think our secondary has been fine. One bad game our pass efficiency D has been great

 

[Luckylucci]

This isn’t a DJ Brown problem. This is a bad tackling team. They don’t practice it. HC’s decision.

Do any teams tackle to the ground in practice during the season?

 

[DillonHall]

Do any teams tackle to the ground in practice during the season?

Not sure about other teams, but this one definitely needs to practice it

I know, just busting your chops

Our coaches prefer assignment correct over actually making a play

He can’t tackle or catch. It is a Brown problem. He has dropped like 3 ints and taken bad angles.
