Browner take a seat: Cornerback Brandon Browner was having a hard time covering Tennessee receiver Kendall Wright in the first half, so the coaches took him out of the game and inserted Walter Thurmond, who started the first two games this season when Browner had a hamstring injury. “We just gave [Browner] a break,” Carroll said. “They were going after him. We have plenty of guys to play and I wanted to make sure we were fresh. I had a chance to talk to [Browner] about some of the stuff that was going on in the first half. I just told him we were going to go with the other guys for a little bit. Brandon is an excellent football player. He did a nice job in the second half.”
Browner was getting picked on pretty badly and Walter is just that much faster than BB and depending on the match-up, its a boon to be able to switch out a more physical CB for a cover CB. I think this will be worth watching throughout the season since we know how much talent Walter has.

Great to hear for WTIII. I was watching a little of the game in the first half, and he dropped a sure pick six.

Good article on Kiko:

Also mentions that Mark Asper is back with the Bills.

Kiko and Jairus I think each had 4 tackles last week, D.J. Davis 1 catch 24 yards, time to step up D.J. Kenjon first nfl carry tonight for one yard and one catch for two yards. Kellen to start for rams this weekend.

First I noticed it, Belicheck needs some more weapons on offense if he's returning kickoffs.

Considering who they're playing, I don't think he's done that bad. He's had a few drops that have hurt him (what game does that not happen, though?)

Finally pulled some plays together and got some protection up front. DO NOT like the last 2 plays called though. Should have spread them out. UGH. Feel bad for Kellen. He did a decent job.
