We've got big trouble on the OL.

Okay ... I have no illusions about Brown's ability to start 16 games or play well in the games in which he does play. At the same time, given our demonstrable line concerns, why dump before we have to?

Give the young guys reps? Okay - he's a vet he doesn't need it. Keep him on the PUP until the regular season. Wouldn't he give us decent depth even if he's not starting? Not suggesting we keep him over others who step up in camp, but, for this year, we need bodies at RT. If we have a bunch of Joes at RT, keep the best Joes we got. If Brown is thought to be one of 'em great. If not, cut him.

Again, we haven't even had a full week of camp. Can we have a little patience guys??

How can he back anyone up when he can't even practice? He's had an entire off season to be healthy. Time to move on.

So you're good with the Polumbo/Hurt/Smith combination at RT and believe Brown can add nothing to it?

Me, I want to see how that particular group pans out before cutting ties w/ Brown. Not saying he should be on the roster when the season begins, just saying, no need to cut him right at the moment when he may end up being useful to us.
