Look: Bobby Brown III made a ‘turnover mask’ and it’s brilliantly funny

Bobby Brown III is trying to make the “turnover mask” a thing and we really hope he succeeds 😂

Turnover props are all the rage in college football. Miami’s turnover chain is obviously the most popular, but Rams nose tackle Bobby Brown III is trying to take things in a different direction.

His “Shark Tank” pitch is the “turnover mask” and it’s the best thing you’ll see all day.

Brown shared his brilliantly funny idea on social media Monday and we really hope it catches on.

Who wouldn’t love to wear a football with eye openings on their head? It’s comfortable, protective and if you’re having a bad hair day, it can take care of that problem. It’s multifunctional, really.

Behold, the turnover mask, which the main NFL account shared on X.

The Rams got in on the fun, too.

If Brown doesn’t wear that on the sideline every time the Rams force a turnover this preseason, it’ll be a huge letdown.

Rams NT Bobby Brown III excited to rush the passer more in 2024

Bobby Brown III has mostly been a run defender, but he expects to get more opportunities to rush the passer in 2024

Bobby Brown III is the biggest defender on the Rams’ roster. At 6-foot-4 and 324 pounds, Brown has the size NFL teams look for in a nose tackle.

In the last three years, he’s primarily been a two-down player who contributes as a run stopper. That’s an obvious role for him, and one he also held in college at Texas A&M. Given his size, the position he plays and the presence of Aaron Donald, he’s had limited opportunities to rush the passer.

That could change in 2024 now that Donald is retired and Kobie Turner could be moving to defensive tackle after playing a bunch of nose tackle last season. It’ll open the door for Brown to play more on third down and get after the quarterback, which he’s excited about – especially being in a contract year.

“I’ve been more of a run-stuff guy since I got to college, even though I had five sacks my last year,” Brown told Stu Jackson of TheRams.com. “Once I got here, I haven’t played a third down to rush the passer. So now it’s just a whole different world, being able to play my game going to a different world I haven’t played in awhile, but it’s fun.”

In his first two seasons with the Rams, Brown had no sacks in 19 total games. He had just one tackle for a loss and no hits on the quarterback. He improved significantly last season with 31 tackles, a half-sack and four tackles for a loss in 13 games. His PFF grade shot up to 72.0 last season after he had a grade of just 62.8 in 2022, recording 14 total stops after posting just three in his first two years.

With a clear path to playing time next to Turner and possibly Braden Fiske, Brown should continue to get better in his fourth NFL season.

Rams NT Bobby Brown (knee) ruled out vs. Giants

Bobby Brown suffered a knee injury in the first half and is questionable to return

Bobby Brown III missed time earlier this season due to an MCL injury, and in the first half against the Giants, he banged up his knee again. Brown exited the game in the first half and is now questionable to return.

Brown has been the team’s starting nose tackle this season, playing alongside Aaron Donald and Kobie Turner along the defensive line. If he’s out for any amount of time, it would be a big loss for the Rams’ run defense.

UPDATE: The Rams ruled out Brown at the start of the third quarter, so he will not return.

Watch: Bobby Brown is Rams’ ultimate hype man in the best mic’d-up video of 2023

We promise Bobby Brown’s mic’d-up video from Week 16 is the best one you’ll see all year

Each week, the Los Angeles Rams mic-up one player for their game. In Week 16 against the New Orleans Saints, it was Bobby Brown III’s turn.

The big defensive tackle has a big personality and it absolutely showed in the mic’d-up video shared by the Rams this week. He was the team’s ultimate hype man, cheering on the offense from the sideline and being left in awe of plays made by Demarcus Robinson, Matthew Stafford and others.

“Good catch, Demarcus! But oh my god, Stafford!” Brown yelled.

Of all the mic’d-up videos the Rams have released this year, Brown’s is undoubtedly the best. He had the sideline dancing after Robinson’s touchdown, chanting “Go Demarcus! Go Demarcus! Go Demarcus!”

Here are a few highlights from the video, which are sure to put a smile on your face this Christmas.

If you want to watch the whole 5-minute video, which you should, it can be found below.

Rams activate Bobby Brown III off injured reserve

The Rams have officially activated Bobby Brown III off injured reserve

In addition to getting Matthew Stafford, Ernest Jones and Rob Havenstein back from injury this week, the Los Angeles Rams will also have Bobby Brown III available.

Brown has been on injured reserve since hurting his knee earlier this season, causing him to miss four games. He’s officially been activated off IR, so he’s eligible to play Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks.

Brown is the biggest defensive lineman on the team, playing significant snaps at nose tackle before getting injured. Kobie Turner has done a nice job filling in but Brown’s return will allow Turner to move around more and play his more traditional position of 3-technique.

Before getting injured, Brown had 13 tackles with one of those being for a loss.

Raheem Morris speaks on what Bobby Brown brings to the Rams’ defense

Raheem Morris discussed what Bobby Brown III brings to the defense if he’s available for the Rams in Week 11.

The Los Angeles Rams lack size on the interior of their defensive line right now, but it could be getting a key member back in Week 11. Ahead of a showdown with the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, Raheem Morris discussed what Bobby Brown III brings to the defense if he’s available for the Rams.

“Hopefully he’s back into the lineup,” Morris said. “What he misses from us is that big powerful man in the middle of the defense that really shows you power and the guy that’s been here training for the last three years and the fruits of his labor were really starting to show. And then he had the unfortunate injury, so getting him back means a lot for us and a lot for our unit. He’s one of the ‘young veterans,’ so to speak, and it is really nice when he’s out there and nice to get him on the grass and nice to get his smiling face out there playing with his guys and doing some really positive things.”

Brown has been sidelined since Week 5 due to a knee injury he sustained against the Philadelphia Eagles. Before suffering the injury, Brown had 13 combined tackles and one tackle for loss.

The third-year interior defender became the starting nose tackle for the Rams this season following the departure of Greg Gaines in free agency. While he hasn’t provided much in the pass-rushing department, Brown at least gives the Rams a formidable run defender in the trenches.

All signs point toward Brown making his return to the lineup this week as he’s logged full practices on Wednesday and Thursday. Getting Brown back would be a welcomed sight for the Rams as the Seahawks prefer to lean on Kenneth Walker and rookie Zach Charbonnet in the ground game.

Rams designate NT Bobby Brown III to return from IR

Bobby Brown III has been designated to return from injured reserve and will begin practicing this week

The Los Angeles Rams hope to welcome back Matthew Stafford, Ernest Jones and Rob Havenstein from injury this week when they host the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday afternoon, but they could get back a key defensive lineman, too.

The Rams announced on Monday that Bobby Brown III has been designated to return from injured reserve and has returned to practice. Brown has been out since injuring his knee in Week 5 against the Eagles on Oct. 8 and was expected to miss 5-7 weeks.

Kobie Turner has done a great job filling in and playing more snaps at nose tackle with Brown out, but there’s no doubt Los Angeles will be excited to get Brown back, with him being the biggest defender on the team.

Before going down, Brown had 13 tackles and one tackle for a loss in five games played.

The Rams now have 21 days to activate Brown from IR. If he’s not activated in that timeframe, he’ll remain on IR for the rest of the season.

Kobie Turner, Jonah Williams will see more snaps amid Bobby Brown’s absence for Rams

Raheem Morris said Kobie Turner and Jonah Williams will replace Bobby Brown III during his stint on IR.

The Los Angeles Rams recently placed Bobby Brown III on injured reserve because of a knee injury he suffered in Week 5 versus the Philadelphia Eagles. Given that Brown is going to miss an extended period, Raheem Morris indicated that rookie Kobie Turner and Jonah Williams will see more snaps for the Rams.

“Tough, man. I think Bobby Brown’s playing really well, playing at a high level for us, but we’ve been fortunate to have Kobie go out there and really play some stuff for us and Jonah, obviously those guys can play some of the reps for us,” Morris said. “Obviously, we’re able to split some of those Kobie and Bobby reps based on base and some of the bigger structures and we’re able to get Kobie rest to get him in some of the small structures and also spell him in. But we’ll definitely rely heavier on Kobie and some of those younger guys that we have, (Larrell) ‘Murch’ (Murchison) is playing at a high level for us. We’ve had Jonah out there playing really well for us so we’ll get some snaps from those guys a little bit extra, be able to do it that way.”

Turner has already seen a decent number of snaps this season, primarily from the interior on obvious passing situations. The rookie defensive lineman has logged 13 combined tackles and one sack while playing on 55 percent of the defensive snaps for the Rams.

Seeing that Turner doesn’t have the size of Brown at nose tackle, Morris wants to split snaps between Turner and Williams. Williams has seen most of his snaps at defensive end, but he’s more of a run stopper than a pass rusher along the defensive front.

Morris also mentioned Larrell Murchison as a player the Rams could deploy more to prevent Turner and Williams from being locked into the nose tackle role. The Rams are allowing 4.3 yards per attempt (11th-most in the NFL) this season, and that could get worse with a lack of size at nose tackle until Brown returns.

Even though the Rams could address the position at a later point, they currently want to replace Brown in-house with a mixture of Turner, Williams, and others.

Rams place Bobby Brown III (knee) on injured reserve

The Rams put Bobby Brown III on injured reserve with a knee injury that will keep him out 5-7 weeks

Sean McVay told reporters on Monday that Bobby Brown III suffered an MCL sprain that will keep him out 5-7 weeks. He suffered the injury in Sunday’s loss to the Eagles and had to be carted off the field.

McVay thought it might be a season-ending injury initially so the diagnosis was actually better than expected. That being said, Brown is still out a while and the Rams are now thinner on the defensive line.

To open up a roster spot, they placed Brown on injured reserve, which will force him to miss at least the next four games. It was an obvious move for the Rams to make, knowing he’ll likely be out even longer than that.

McVay said on the “Coach McVay Show” this week that he isn’t sure if the team will look for outside help on the defensive line or if they’ll stay internal, but that’s something they’re working through.

5 defensive linemen Rams could sign with Bobby Brown III out

If the Rams are looking for defensive line help with Bobby Brown III out, they could consider signing one of these five players

The Los Angeles Rams suffered a significant blow to their defensive line this weekend when Bobby Brown III sprained his MCL against the Philadelphia Eagles. It’ll sideline him for 5-7 weeks, Sean McVay says, which makes him almost certain to land on injured reserve.

The Rams’ defensive line was already lacking size, with Brown being the biggest player up front at 324 pounds, so they could be looking for help. If they’re considering signing a free agent, these five players are potential targets for the Rams – all of whom would come relatively cheap.
