&lt;p&gt;I didn&amp;rsquo;t watch this as I was working the chains at the Kennedy at Mount Rainier game.  Lots of interesting commentary from the crowd that didn&amp;rsquo;t think Demond should have been brought back.  The O-line blocking for Brown better?  Nah, he was just making the reads quicker and getting rid of the ball.  More to come on this - should be an intersting week to follow this story&amp;hellip;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
