We've got big trouble on the OL.

The one constant bit of encouragement I have about our oline issues is Mike's history of producing quality lines.

Also, giving Polumbus the "start" now could give him time to raise his game, if indeed he's struggling so far as reported. Push him hard and see what happens.

Funny how a few months--hell even weeks--ago brown said he was feeling the best he had in a while and was doing Yoga. Now this...smh this guy has to go. I'm assuming he won't retire or would he to save us some money.

I think its pretty obvious, its time to part ways. Seriously, this guy doesnt want to be here, his body hasnt been right since he got here. Is the writing on the wall anymore obvious???

I think we can all definitively agree that Yoga is a piece of crap.

Amani Toomer disagrees with you. In this case however, it's not going to heal JB's chronically malfunctioning hip. There doesnt appear to be a fix, other than not playing football. If we hold onto him just for depth fine, but he shouldnt be the starter. We need someone that can take every snap and improve along with the rest of the line.

Fixed. Yoga works wonders.

Doesn't want to be here? Based on what

JoeRedskin · 08-01-2012, 01:38 PM

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.

Pretty sure Willie Smith was out there doing individual drills yesterday.

Yoga is no joke. Try it and see.

Just the Yoga in the Power 90 wears me out.

Agreed. I occasionally try my wife's yoga exercises, even on the Wii Fit it's tough!

It takes a lot of strength along with balance to hold those positions. Some days when my back is stiff from sitting in the office, I'll do some after I lift weights.

The Skins' players have done a lot of team Pilates drills in the offseason too. Another "lady" exercise.
