ing the New York Giants' beleaguered offensive line.Just two weeks ago Aaron Donald Jersey , Jamon Brown thought he was without a job. He was released by the Los Angeles Rams on Oct. 31 after spending the better part of four years with the team. Brown, a guard for the Rams who started all 16 games and a playoff game in 2017, was on the waiver wire."That was definitely disappointing," Brown said. "I didn't see it coming."Brown had signed a $2.5 million, four-year contract with the Rams after being selected in the third round by the team out of Louisville in 2015. He earned a starting spot as a right guard with the Rams in 2017 after missing most of his rookie season with a fractured right leg.In July, however, Brown was suspended for the first two games of the 2018 season after violating the NFL's policy for substance abuse. He would not comment on what banned substance he used.When the season began, Brown was replaced by Austin Blythe as the starter at right guard for the Rams and he never regained his spot."It was all very disappointing, the way it went down," Brown said. "I never got the opportunity to make things right."As part of a numbers crunch, after the Rams acquired defensive end Dante Fowler Jr. in a trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Brown was released.At the same time, the Giants' offensive line was in turmoil. The problems began when former first-round pick Ereck Flowers was released after a move to right tackle from left tackle didn't pan out.One free-agent signing, tackle Nate Solder, hasn't lived up to the four-year, $62 million contract he signed in the offseason. Center Jon Halapio broke his right ankle and lower leg in the second week of the season. Free agent Patrick Omameh didn't perform well and was released.Amid the upheaval C.J. Anderson Jersey , the Giants took a chance on Brown, a 6-foot, 340-pounder."We knew that he was a starter on a team that won 11 games last year," Giants coach Pat Shurmur said. "He's a big man, a really big man. We liked what we saw in Jamon."When the claim on Brown became official, the Giants were on their bye week. So Brown flew to New Jersey and met with Shurmur and team officials. He worked out for a couple of days, then headed back to Los Angeles to clean out his apartment."I got a lot of frequent flier miles," Brown said.The Giants resumed practice last week and Brown was learning the offense. He practiced as if he were going to play.Sure enough, on Saturday before the game with the San Francisco 49ers, Omameh was let go. Brown slid in as the starter in the game in California. That meant Brown flew back and forth across the country four times in two weeks."It's really crazy how that all turned out," Brown said. "I'm still learning the Giants' way. I'm learning everything I can. This is definitely a great opportunity for me."Brown was part of the line that gave Eli Manning time to throw, allowed only one sack provided room for sensational rookie Saquon Barkley to run. More important, the Giants won 27-23 on Monday night for their second win in nine games."I thought he did a good job," Shurmur said of Brown. "I thought he did some of the things that we thought he could do. I think that's a settling force for the quarterback when he's pretty certain that the interior of the pocket's going to be firm."Brown will start at right guard when the Giants host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. He tweaked his ankle during Friday's practice, but the team did not list him on the injury report."I'm going to bring energy," Brown said. "I think I can be reliable because I've been doing this awhile. I've experienced my times of success."NOTES: The Giants listed no injuries after Friday's practice. Brown (ankle) Samson Ebukam Jersey , LB Alec Ogletree (ribs), CB Antonio Hamilton (hip), FB Eli Penny (back) and S Curtis Riley (shoulder) all practiced fully, so the team is 100 percent healthy for a second straight week. ... Another reclamation project, WR Corey Coleman, whom the Giants picked up after he was waived by three teams this season, will more than likely remain the main kickoff return specialist. Coleman had three returns for 92 yards, including a 51-yarder, against the Niners. The Kansas City Chiefs were desperate for help at cornerback this past season, especially after trading Marcus Peters, yet general manager Brett Veach made what at the time was a curious decision.He spent what little remained of his salary cap on Sammy Watkins.The Chiefs were already loaded on offense with a veteran offensive line, a speedster in Tyreek Hill, the reigning rushing champion in Kareem Hunt and one of the league's best tight ends in Travis Kelce.So most critics figured adding Watkins to the mix would create just as many problems in keeping everybody happy as it would benefit an offense that was already potent.Well, the Chiefs are 2-0. Everybody has had a hand in it. And if anybody has reason to gloat it would be Veach, who coach Andy Reid said was merely targeting the best available free agent."We felt if we were going to spend money on a free agent, try to get the best one. It doesn't matter what side of the ball Cooper Kupp Jersey ," Reid said Wednesday. "I don't think (Veach) was thinking of putting him with Patrick Mahomes or short-changing the defense, he was just getting the best player he could."Mahomes has certainly been the beneficiary of all those options. He's off to a record-setting start to his career as the starter, throwing 10 touchdown passes without an interception and earning the AFC's offensive player of the week award in back-to-back weeks."When you have the weapons we have spread across the field, Sammy and Tyreek on one side, all those guys on the other, the defense has to choose where they're going to cover," Mahomes said. "So we just try to take the best matchup on each play."The matchup nightmare for the Chargers in Week 1 was Hill, who dominated the Chiefs' AFC West rivals with seven catches for 169 yards and two touchdowns. Six others caught passes, two for scores, including fullback Anthony Sherman — affectionately known as "Sausage" — on a wheel route down the sideline.Hill didn't even have a first-half catch against the Steelers last week.Instead it was Kelce and Watkins, who were largely shut out by Los Angeles, that led the Chiefs to a 42-37 victory. Kelce had seven catches for 109 yards and two touchdowns, the highlight a fastball from Mahomes between three defenders, while Watkins hauled in six passes for 100 yards.Of course, Hill had to have a part in the fun, pulling in five catches for 90 yards and a score after the break. Hunt provided some offensive balance with 18 carries for 75 yards and TD catch."I knew it would just take settling down and getting used to making plays John Johnson Jersey ," Watkins said. "I'm not really a statistics guy. I'm really about winning and that's what it's all about."The numbers have been plenty gaudy, though.The Chiefs are averaging 405.5 yards, sixth-best in the league, and are second in yards-per-play at 7.2. They're averaging a league-best 40 points, have only allowed two sacks and have scored touchdowns on all of their drives inside the opposing 20-yard line.They've also given the ball away just once, on a fumble against the Steelers."You know, I think we envisioned having a lot of talent. There's definitely a lot of talent on this offense," Chiefs wide receiver Chris Conley said. "The fact that we've been able to get everyone involved is maybe a little bit better than we even expected."Conley celebrated the lack of egos on the Chiefs offense — nobody is demanding the ball or throwing tantrums on the sideline when it doesn't come their way. He also praised the way the skill players worked together this past offseason, spending the extra time necessary to develop their rapport."We practice with the mentality that whoever is out there is ready to make a play when called upon," he said. "So far we've been able to get a lot of guys involved and we're going to continue to build upon that. Guys are interchangeable because they know the offense so well."Now the question is whether an opposing defense can figure it out.Good luck trying to decide who to take away."With this offense," Mahomes said, "there's always an answer."Notes: Safety Eric Berry (Achilles tendon) remained out of practice Wednesday. He's been out since the early portion of training camp, though Reid insisted he's "getting better." ... DT Chris Jones missed the workout with a slight groin strain, though Reid sounded optimistic that he will be available this week.
