Eliminate everything else, and Brandon Browner’s coverage stats weren’t bad.
He gave up four receptions on nine targets for 55 yards during Sunday’s 41-38 loss to the Carolina Panthers, which is a manageable figure.
The problem is the areas where he struggled Sunday won’t show up in that stat line.
In fact, some of his lower moments ended up looking like positives in those statistics.
It’s been the policy here not to blow up Browner’s penalties, because it was known that he draws a lot of flags — fair or not — when the Saints signed him.
