am hoping that brian suddenly has a johnson-esque change of heart. i think larry found some security in a team that was willing to genuinely look past him as a person (on every single level), and focus entirely on what he can bring to the football team. it may surprise waters when he first steps on the field for mandatory OTAs to find out that he will face no resistance from the coaches and can truly interact with them. i kind of got the impression that the front office’s refusal to speak to waters was more due to respect to the front office, and the work/schedule they were undertaking, and not about a diss to brian himself. it may open his eyes and allow him to focus on playing pro-bowl caliber.

maybe it won’t. who knows. i don’t see him getting traded though. right now he’s the cornerstone of a pretty shaky offensive line. and with the haley/pioli combo’s history, i don’t see them herm-ing up the line
