Dolphins interested in center Jason Brown

worth every penny

imagine what this guy will do for ronnie and ricky, shoot he made laron mcclain a pro bowler runnin up the gut so give ronnie and ricky a little space and watch them run…also hes only 26 so imagine how much upside he still has, def. better than gettin peppers besides are two rookie d-ends are only going to get better to so well get pressure on the qb especially with are new beast cameron wake haha

If we are to break the bank on a player I say it’s for this guy.25 years cant beat that,I hope we look at Scott and Atogwe too.

Brown is a very good center, and as far as I’m concerned the Center is the most important position on the field.

to free up draft picks to be able to address other issues. I’d be nervous about making him the highest paid center in the league though.

 He was middle of the pack for sacks allowed (though he was protecting a rookie) with 2+. Also- while Baltimore had the #4 rushing offense by yards per game- that was mostly because they had by far the most carries per game (37). They averaged a rather pedestrian 4 ypc (sounds good but only ranks 21st in the league) though I’m sure having a bunch of giant, lumbering fullbacks play running back didn’t exactly help.

He does have good reasons for his rather minor shortfalls I guess, I just doubt he’d be willing to sign a ‘show me’ or incentive heavy deal just to be sure since he will be in such demand, so I’d be nervous.

If anybody can evaluate a great center its Sparano though, so if we actually go after him that’d probably be enough to convince me.

isn’t like the Phins mixing it up with various wildcat plays. Brown’s push on those plays is golden.

You are a man that likes to suffer Matt.

out of all the possible free agents (including nomami assbougi!), Brown is the guy I’d most like to see us sign, and for the reasons you mentioned Matty. If you look at value as the net increase in team performance per dollar spent, I don’t see another player out there that would improve the team more. Of course I’d like to see an “Albert Haynesworth” at NT, or a “Demarcus Ware” as an added pass rusher, and adding a a stellar CB, FS, or WR would bring big benefits. But I believe that if we could run the ball inside, that would open up the passing game, make the WC more effective when we chose to run it, and take the pressure off the Defense, which is when the performed the best this past year. I think Brown would bring tremendous value for the FA price we would likely pay.
And I think it is likely that they will go after him, just like they did Smiley last year. It fits the Parcells template of 1) solidifying the lines first, and 2) don’t go crazy in FA.

it would give us more flexibility with our first rounder

and since my other “big name FA pickup” got tagged (Dansby), I would love to spend that money on Brown. He does quite a few things for us on the OL.
A) We would fill a hole on the OL with a big, young, hungry player.
B) We improve the depth of the interior line.
C) Moves Satele to OG, probably to back up Smiley (who’s finished each of the last 2 seasons on IR).

Sounds like an accounting firm.

Just sign him, Peppers, and Haynseworth, and fill the other holes through the draft, or maybe trade Satele to a team for a WR. With that said, i am going to log onto Madden 09 and make this dream a reality…LOL Hopefully we can upgrade a few positions, and get our players right from the jump like we did last year with Smiley.

My dream ended up with my wife yelling at me to take the trash outside…LOL Oh well, it’s always nice to dream, it’s just like thinking about all the amazing things you would buy if you won the lottery, meaning it will never happen
