How important was Brown in Jim Schwartz’s game plan?
Brown had played 69% of the defensive snaps this season, but the Eagles have a lot of bodies at LB with Bradham, Gruiger,Hill, Gerry, Edwards and newcomer Duke Riley https://t.co/XioNUTzlJY

Someone’s going to have to step up to play those snaps. Who do you think is the best option to fill his shoes? Were the Eagles right to release him?
