Fakhir Brown back to the Rams?

We were all a little shocked when the Rams cut CB Fakhir Brown. He was the team's best CB, but his play was, well, different and speculation about problems between Brown and the coaching staff followed. It was, after all, Linehan that cut him. 

But Brown's a Haslett guy. Brown's been called a favorite of the Rams new head coach; he followed Haslett from New Orleans to St. Louis.  

When I heard the news yesterday that Haslett had been tapped to replace Linehan, one of the first things I thought was whether or not we might see Fakhir Brown in a Rams uniform again. (Honestly, I thought it was strange no other team had swept in, but price tag could have had something to do with that). Anyway, it's not like Brown's the second coming of Champ Bailey, but with Tye Hill out for a month and the d-backs still questionable bringing back Brown could help the Rams, especially if he's playing at 110%.

Lo and behold, buried in this post from Steve Korte of the Belleville News Democrat is a note that Haslett would like to bring back Brown.

Since this is a better place for my comment (I'll cut-and-paste myself)

…… thought this was pretty interesting and should fire up a little more Linehan angst even though he’s long gone. From Jim Thomas

"The other starter to be sidelined is cornerback Tye Hill, who is scheduled to undergo arthroscopic surgery for torn cartilage in his right knee. Hill suffered the injury defending a deep route midway through the first quarter Sunday. He will be out about a month.

That leaves the Rams with only four healthy cornerbacks on the roster: Ron Bartell, Jason Craft, Ricky Manning Jr. and Jonathan Wade. The Rams are attempting to re-sign cornerback Fakhir Brown, who was cut last week in a surprise move by now-fired coach Scott Linehan.

But Brown has drawn interest from several teams, particularly the Washington Redskins, and as of early Monday evening the Rams weren’t optimistic about a potential return."

Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me......with nothin'.

Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

The reason I would like to see it is

that it would immediately put the Linehan/Zygmunt era on the train to Disappearanceland. It won’t start the train moving, but at least we’ll have it loaded up. Hopefully by the 2010 draft, the mistakes of these past 3 years will be but a distant memory. All aboard…

Whether you like Rosenbloom or not

you have to be happy this team isn’t owned by Al Davis. What a circus.

Zygmunts gotta go hes holding the rams back. The rams should make a good effort to get brown back hes by far there best defensive back, or was at least. I would hope for a good draft to bring in some cb prospects but the past decade has shown that the top rams picks havnt worked out (tye hill and others)
