A Sit Down with Linebacker/Fullback Zack Brown

by DJ Wagner

Week 2 Q&A with the Cobras

GREENSBORO, NC - We are going to sit down with one Cobras player each week for a quick Q&A session to talk about football, and life.  Four football questions and one extra for fun.  First into the hot seat was a star of the game against Albany in a 59-51 Cobras win, Zack Brown, as he had a strip/sack/recovery/TD that totally helped turn the game and give the Cobras a 22-point lead at the start of the 4th quarter and basically put the game away.


First Down:  You had a strip/sack/recovery/TD against Albany, can you walk up through the play?

Zack Brown: Well, I knew that they didn’t have a true Fullback in the game at that time so me and Big Walt (Walter Thomas) ran a twist move to confuse the FB and Center to free one of us open and luckily it was me.  When I got in the backfield the QB moved to my right to try to avoid me, but I saw he had dropped his throwing arm and that’s when I attacked.  I hit his arm to make the ball come loose and it worked out.

Second Down:  You were doing ironman before this season between your time at LB/FB in seasons before, how does it feel that the rest of the league is now doing it too?

ZB:  It’s fun to see guys going both ways, because it shows how talented a person is, and how much they can help their team out.

Third Down:  I know the goal for every player and every team right now is to win the Championship, but what personal goals do you have for the 2022 season?

ZB:  My personal goal is to lead the league in sacks, rushing yards, rushing touchdowns and winning Ironman of the Year.

Fourth Down:  Since you have made a name for yourself at both LB and FB, which side do you enjoying playing more, and why?

ZB:  I like playing LB more, because I get to do the hitting, instead of getting hit.  But I love playing both positions!

Plus One:  You have been in Greensboro a couple weeks now, have you found any favorite places yet?

ZB:  I haven’t found a favorite place yet, but World of Beer has some good food and also Jams Deli
