[over the mountain]

is there anything related to j brown's work ethic? is he a gaither type player that doesnt work/practice/study hard? for some reason i remember some grumbling of that out of new orleans.

yes, hicks has disappointed me as well. i was hoping for a kendall/thomas type pick up where he quietly holds down his spot.

on rabach, im guessin it his ability to read Ds and call blocking assignments out that got him an extension. i dont think mawae would be an upgrade and idr any other real options at center this offseason. to be honest, id rather have a cerebral but physically over matched center considering the revolving door we rightfully anticipated having with both guard spots.

in the eagles game i did see lichensteiger have 2 rushers coming at him, he chipped both guys and mcnabb got the pass off. he didnt really block either one but he was smart enough to recognize he had responsibility on both guys and chipped both instead of picking one to block and letting the other go free. it was encouraging to see
