I wouldn't have a big problem with this but I feel compelled to mention that
good DE's are tougher to find than good WRs.

My guess is that Brown is operating under the false assumption that he'll
get more sacks, etc... if he gets more playing time.  IMO, not true.  He'll
get more sacks if he's fresh in the fourth quarter going against some left
tackle who has been on the field all day.  The Bears also obviously operate
under this assumption on the defensive line.
