[CBFF] Not-so-fearsome foursome

[Victor Waldron (CBFF)]

Again (again), I'm wondering if we're having difficulty adjusting in the 
post-Brown era. I know, I know, it's an all too convenient excuse, but 
the D did lose some dynamic when he went out. The front seven just don't 
seem to be attacking like they were earlier in the season.

Also, I wonder why we don't see Mark Anderson more. He was getting good 
pressure (and sacks) when Wale was out. Maybe we should change up 
Brown-Wale-Anderson more so we always have fresh legs and to mess up the 
opposing OL game plan a little.
