Colin Brown finally released

Per Rotoworld and Adam Caplan. So Legursky starts and who backs him up?

Glad they see how terrible he is. Wouldnt it be nice to have Levitre or Rhinehart?

This is the kind of crap that really bothers me. We are $18.6 million below the cap and we let both these guys walk.

Some people make the argument that Levitre got too much, regardless of cap space. I don't buy that, but even if I did, what's the justification for not re-signing Rhinehardt? Everyone said he'd be easy to replace, but he hasn't been replaced by anyone equal or better and we are 6 games into the season.

This is exactly why people like me say Ralph is cheap.

What is frustarting is you cant let a player walk like Levitre without a plan. We went into the season with a band aid that didnt work. We now have a hole to fill in the offseason.

And the perpetual rebuilding cycle renews itself once again!

When we let guys like this walk, we are at best treading water and at worst moving backward.

I agree totally. I was pissed when we let Levitre go, but then assumed we were going with Rhinehart. Then he left, and I got even more mad. That move made me think they thought they could "get by" (aka save some money) by going with Brown instead of either of these dudes who had proven that they were solid, but then Brown turned out to be a turd. Sucks - you cant let proven players go without a plan in place.

Not at $7.8M/year (Levitre) and Rinehart has missed the Chargers' last 3 games.

Yea but the LG has not made this team lose games...
Would rather use that 7 mill per and use this offseason...
Levitre would not win us anymore games

didn't Dockery and Levitre play the same position?

Mark Asper Baby! Problems solved...

Re: Colin Brown finally released

I'm pretty sure Rhinehart has been a healthy inactive 3 straight games for SD. Levitre isn't exactly earning his billions in Tennesee either.

You could say that about almost any position other than QB.

I do recall a lot of sacks due poor protection from Brown though (the Jets game in particular).

Although there wasn't necessarily one sack that directly led to our loss, the culmination of them and the ensuing lack of faith in the pass protection was probably a large factor in that loss.

Looks like they booted Jamie Blatnick off the practice squad today too. Another overhyped fan favorite.
