Will Brown Play LT?

[phillyesq]

In the long tradition of the board wanting to move people to another position (see Colon, Willie), I can't help but wonder - is Brown being brought in to play LT? Is it possible that Beachum will go to LT with Brown to LG? Is Foster's injury more serious than was reported?

I don't know how quick Brown is, but I could see him as a massive road grader type at OG.

I doubt this really happens, but figured I'd throw it out there.

I would think that they would try Beachum at LT first before bringing a career LT in as a guard. They will be plugging him in and praying at LT.

If the Steelers are super lucky, Brown will be a huge improvement over Adams, much like Mesko has been over Butler...wait...what....

We didn't trade for Brown so he could play guard (though that is likely his best position).

i woudl think they would try beachum at GUARD and not make Levi have to go through a position switch...that's probably what you meant...??

Guard will be his position next year after we draft a rookie LT.

Bingo. No way the Steelers pass on this years top LT talent. Good year to be drafting high. 4-5 solid LTs, two I would consider elite.

Yeah, what I was trying to say was that if they were moving Beachum then they would have tried it first before making a trade. If they made the trade then he is playing tackle. Now we just have to settle LG and RT...before focusing on LT again very soon.

That would actually give you a seemingly decent line, at least on paper.

[papillon]

Can he play center? I couldn't resist.

Apparently, Matt Williamson of ESPN reads the forum:

[BradshawsHairdresser]

I doubt he'll be here in 2014; he makes too much $$.

Sign Starks on the cheap, put him at LT and let Brown play LG now.

[pittpete]

would you stop with signing Starks already.
Hes been let go by 2 teams already.

[SteelCrazy]

Starks has lost it. He has played 7 total downs this year and whiffed badly on 2 of them. His time is over.

Make that 3...released yest by the Rams
