Gibbs loves Brown, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Molinaro in there giving him some rest, the word was he was knocking D-linemen 5 yards back off the line in practices in the pre-season, I remember hearing the guy is very powerful, at least we have some hopefully pretty good backups, I to would be concerned with Brown if he has to get out and run.
