I said it in the "skill category" of the offense, and I'll say it here. Ray Brown wasn't expected to receive a paycheck in August, and he ably started double-digit games for us. That's a valuable trait. Valuable enough that the coaching staff has said more about his return than, oh, Fred Smoot's for example. Samuels is a great player, but Ray Brown is a mentor to the young players on this team. If Jansen returns healthy, I'd expect Brown to push Dockery, and maybe even the two-headed crappy center team we have for a starting spot.

By the way, he still gets my vote in the "skill" category, too. When you are 40 years old, and handling 23 year olds for 60+ plays a game, there's some skill involved there.
