Brian Baldinger was a 13-year NFL veteran who had stops at Dallas, Indianapolis and Philadelphia where he played offensive line in all three stops.
In his post-playing career, Baldinger has carved out a nice path in the media. His broadcasting career began in 1997 with Fox, where he remained until 2009. In 2011 he became the color commentator for Philadelphia Eagles radio. Now, he has built up his social media presence and is the go-to guy to look for following a Sunday of NFL football.
Each week he shares short videos of some of his favorite performers from Sunday on his X page. He highlights any position on the field. This week, Baldy gave Martin Emerson his flowers after Emerson's spectacular performance on Sunday.
Emerson had his best professional game, finishing with five tackles, two interceptions and one pass breakup. More importantly, he was exactly what the Browns needed since they were down All-Pro Denzel Ward.
Emerson's performance on Sunday was a welcomed sight for Browns fans because of his recent struggles. He wasn't his best on the team's two-game road trip to Denver and Los Angeles, but he returned home and showed off his greatness.
On the season, Emerson now has 47 total tackles, 10 pass breakups, a career-high four interceptions and one tackle for loss.
With the injuries that the defensive line has experienced over the past two days, the Browns are going to call on their secondary to carry this defense the rest of the way.
Martin Emerson will be a key part of the back end of the defense having continued success over the final four games of the regular season.
