They wanted to rotate the line a bit because a) Brown didn't get to play much in the preseason so Shanahan/Foerster wanted to ease him back in b) Kory L, according to Shanahan, had a great preseason and he wants to see him in the rotation some, and c)they plan on rotating the line some to give the D different looks and keep their guys fresh.

Thanks for the info. From were I was sitting it looked like Kory L. played good, but Heyer I think played poorly. For me its always hard to tell how well a lineman did. Everytime, I think someone did well they cut him.
