I noticed a pattern the past two seasons...Mike Brown goes down, this D goes south.... I noticed Mike Brown goes down, Bears finish with best record in NFC twice and go to Superbowl once. I would say Tommie Harris had much more to do with the defensive struggles at the end of the year than Mike Brown. Mike Brown's injury only hurt us so far as the safety was one of the weakest areas depth-wise. So long as safety is something addressed in the draft, Mike Brown isn't a huge issue. That being said, I'd like to see them keep Brown this season. I see no need to cut him for what little cap space he'll provide, especially if they aren't after any big free agents. Oh I agree. I wasn't advocating getting rid of Brown. We just need some depth behind him, because you can't count on a full season out of him.
