Is Omar Brown going to be the new Prescott burgess?

Shrewd move. I liked Omar Brown in the pre-season. Hopefully we can resign him back to the PS after Sundays game.

This doesn't preclude the Steelers signing Dixon from our PS. They can still do that, although, I would assume they showed no interest towards him, otherwise, I doubt he would have signed to the PS just yet.

Re: Ravens re-sign Dennis Dixon to PS, release Omar Brown
Off the top of my head there are 2 possible rationales for this move:
1) Dixon was on our PS from the start of the season until recently. As one guy put it over on "Behind the Steel Shmatte", "It never hurts ... to have a little insight on their next opponent. While teams change their signals week to week, especially if a player gets released, he does have a sense of what's going on behind closed doors in Baltimore."
2) And it cuts the other way as well--on the PS, Dixon will presumably run the offense that the D will practice against & having been a Stealer, he might have a better understanding of how that needs to be done.
Resigning him to our PS means that to get him the Tar&Urine would have to make room on the 53-man roster, & they're already carrying a bunch of injured players waiting for them to get well. Had the Ravens not resigned him, Pittsburgh could have signed him to their own PS, picked his brains, & had him for instant elevation should something happen to Lefty or Batch.
Little things can add up to a lot...
