Lots of folks have been complaining about a large sum of our salary cap space being taken up by the O-line. That is not a bad thing. If you look at Parcells' last SB win with the Giants, they did it with Phil Simms/ mostly Jeff Hostetler, average receivers, and an old running back (Otis Anderson). HOW? Because they had a great defense and a damn good offensive line. A good offensive line will make your QB, WRs, and RBs look better. And a stingy defense will keep you in any game. I'm all for signing Brown. That should make our line well above average for several years with Smiley coming back and if Donald Thomas comes back as strong as he looked very early last season - plus the depth we have and will bring in.
If we sign Brown, and I hope we do, we can look at WR, DBs, LBs, DT plus depth where ever we see fit. (Likely more O-line, D-line, and a late round RB).

there is no question parcells builds from the line outwards.....getting brown after locking up carrey and long and smiley......and getting production from thomas....holy **** bro....watch out....we will be dominating every defense....pounding the rock, milking the clock, and winning games 13-3......i love it

The pieces are being put into place, the youth is there, the experience together is comming and if they play well together i have a strong feeling it could be one of those lines that it won't matter who the RB is, they will do well. (IE: The broncos and chief's lines from a few years ago.)SCall13 likes this. -

As much as it will suck to see Ronnie or any other good back come through here let go, I think it is better than having to draft a RB high, pay a huge salary to just to make up for the inefficiencies of a poorly built line.PENNSYLVANIADOLPHAN, SCall13 and rafael like this.
