Brouwer set the tone of weakness when he basically shrugged his shoulders about the slashes against Johnny in the Minnesota game and said "I do that too" (paraphrasing). I don't care what you do you better at least act like you've got your teammates back. I thought this guy was supposed to bring a bunch of leadership to the team.
