Redskins Sign Veteran DB Brown

The Redskins have signed veteran defensive back Eric Brown, the team announced on Tuesday. Brown is regarded as a hard-nosed and versatile safety who can play both strong and free safety.

Last season, Brown played for the Houston Texans and appeared in 13 games with four starts. During his career, he has started 87 of 97 games, recording 543 tackles (384 solo), 6.5 sacks, 30 pass deflections and nine interceptions.

Brown, 6-1 and 210 pounds, entered the league as an undrafted free agent with the Denver Broncos in 1998. During his rookie season, he appeared in 11 games with 10 starts.

Brown started Denver's season-opening win over New England, becoming only the second rookie defensive back in league history to start for a defending Super Bowl champion. (The other was Darrell Green in 1983 for the Redskins).

Brown played his first four seasons with Denver before signing with the Houston Texans as a free agent in 2002.

Brown played his college ball at Mississippi State after transferring from Blinn Junior College. He earned second-team All- Southeastern Conference honors as a senior after recording 102 tackles and six sacks.

1. Taylor might not play 16 games depending on the trial schedule.

2. Bowen is now starting with the second team and may not be at 100%.

3. Omar Stoutmire and Pierson Prioleau may not have proved to Williams that they are viable starters if someone goes down with an injury.

Where in the world are you getting 70-80 tackles in a season from?

If he's getting that many then he's our full time starter.

I am pretty sure Prioleau is not working out and I think they want some competition in case Taylor doesnt play this year.
