Hard to say if he intentionally missed blocks, but you watch film of him (and I know that you probably have), you can see him essentially get eaten alive at times. O-linemen make mistakes, but there are times when he looks waaaaay overmatched and gets beaten very quickly.
I watched him a lot and never saw a Hall of Famer, I'm not in the Willie Anderson camp but he was in easily a tier higher than Lomas to my mind. His AP1 in 1995 was undeserved, he was probably the 5-7 best OT that year in my mind.
Could Lomas Brown be Hall of Very Good?
Sure, but he is not eligible for the HoVG for a few more years..
