Brown staying healthy is one of the more important things that needs to happen for this defense. I'm not going to sit here and pretend he's some superstar, but he doesn't need to be to help us. I'll be happy if he's career-salvaging Dhani Jones-good at this point. We could use that in a major way.
I know people are pissed about not doing a lot in FA. Hell, I'm firmly in that camp. I think it was a joke. That being what it is, everyone better join team Preston Brown right away. If he goes down, we're going to be right back to watching Hardy-harr-harr Nickerson and Jordan Evans pretending to be NFL players and getting destroyed all season long, just like last year. After Pratt, it's a bunch of undrafted dudes and late round picks that aren't ever going to amount to shit.
The o-line gets more attention, but in reality, the offense was good enough to win games when healthy, even with below average play up front. They were scoring a lot of points, and Mixon was running up yards. The linebackers getting beat in the short/intermidiate game was the death of this team last year. Was it schematic? Better hope so. One Germaine Pratt and a few prayers may not be enough to fix the lack of talent in that position group. It's still paper-thin after the first 3 guys, and the backups are pretty much all liabilities.
