Honestly, we do not know what Charlie Brown brings to the table. The good news is he has a year of training under his belt. Very nice luxury to be able to sit a rookie for a year and get him ready. I say let Brown and Bushrod battle it out, may the best man win.

I think we should trade Bushrod to the Redskins for a 3rd round pick.

Because occasionally they are?

Nicks was a back-up, took over for Nesbit
Jenkins was a back-up, took over for Sharper
PT was a back-up, took over for Bush
Ivory was a back-up, took over everyone
Goodwin was a back-up, took over for Faine
Bushrod was a back-up, took over for Brown
Deuce was a back-up, took over for Williams

I think the only backup on that list that wasnt better than the starter was Bushrod over Brown.
In my opinion, even though Brown would occasionally get tagged with the ole false start penalty, I never once saw him get bull rushed into drew, you could always count that brown would destroy the DE in pass coverage, he was a damn good LT.
now I'm glad we have the draft pick that we got for trading him, still doesn't diminish the fact that brown was alot better than Bushrod.

You can never have too much OL depth. We need to keep both Bushrod and Brown, and hope that Brown develops into a star. Bushrod, however, is a very serviceable LT. Not great, but the OL was pretty good this year and definitely not the reason we lost in the first round.
