Now it appears the free-agent right tackle will sign elsewhere. ...

RE: Tom Ashworth
Interesting. But is it a good idea to move Brown to the left? He played well for a rookie, but this just adds another learning year to him.

RE: Tom Ashworth
Brown is definitely athletic enough to play on the left side. I say go for it.

RE: Tom Ashworth
I believe the idea was that Brown would be groomed to replace Gandy eventually, although I'm not sure this quickly.

RE: Tom Ashworth
If he is signed I think it truly means we'll draft D in the first round.

RE: Tom Ashworth
I have too much man crush on Brick at this point. I won't be objective about it. I'd rather Ashworth came as a backup and I'm sure he's not interested in that. But were we to sign him, I totally understand it.

RE: Tom Ashworth
I think with Seattle needing a LT now that Hutchison is gone they might actually be willing to over pay for Ashworth. I don't want to get into a bidding war over this guy.

RE: Tom Ashworth
Hutchison is a guard.

RE: Tom Ashworth
Seattle still has Walter Jones at LT. Unless the pick up someone like Davin Joseph from Oklahoma, don't expect Shaun Alexander to be rushing leader next season.

I love it Deuce. GET ASHWORTH. That way when we trade down, it's HAwk or Ngata and some much needed D help. Then get Mangold with the second pick.
