As you can see in the above PFF graphic, the difference in our team pass blocking efficiency brfore and after the DB trade is night and day. Many here said they'd wait to see how it worked out before getting too effusive with the praise of the deal but I think kudos may be due to John for making the deal and to our coaching staff for integrating him successfully with our offense, to Brown for showing our youngsters how it's done in this league (including fighting through injuries) and to the rest of our guys up front for taking their cues from a real pro.
I said when we picked him up I couldn't be happier, held my breath when he got rolled up on (friendly fire IIRC) and have been patiently waiting for the payoff. Looks like we're finally seeing evidence of that payoff.
