Brooks agent, Robert McManus, was reluctant to agree to this decision because Brooks would have to postpone learning Dan Reeves complicated offensive system. McManus says he told the Falcon s Personnel Director Harold Richardson,  As long as you give him an opportunity to learn the offensive system when he gets back from Europe, I will go along with this llocation. As a result, Brooks played for the Frankfurt Galaxy at left tackle, but was then traded to Rhein Fire to play right tackle. Rhein went all the way to the World Bowl in June, and Brooks was named to the first team All NFL Europe team at right tackle This was both good news and bad.<br>Because Rhein had gone to the World Bowl, Brooks had missed all the Falcon mini camps. Because he lacked experience with Reeves complex system and because the team desperately needed defensive linemen, Brooks was again moved back to defense. Once more Brooks made the final roster of 53, but after the first week of the season Brooks was released so Reeves could add an experienced defensive tackle in Shane Dronett. Fortunately, Brooks was soon picked up by the Rams to be groomed once again as an offensive tackle, and his career seemed to be back on track. He played swing tackle behind two first round picks in Orlando Pace and Wayne Gandy in 1998. With Gandy up for a new contract and the Rams not inclined to resign their starting right tackle, the 1999 right tackle job was to be Brooks .<br>But in June of 1999, as Brooks was preparing for his third season with the Rams, tragedy struck. His wife, Jackie, was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. He decided to put his athletic career on hold for several months to help her through the trauma of chemotherapy. Brooks was subsequently released by the Rams, and he turned down offers from both the Saints, Cowboys and the Jaguars.<br> As his wife s health began to improve, Brooks signed with the Cardinals (over the Jaguars and the Broncos) in the 2000 season and reunited with his offensive line coach from the Rams, George Warhop. Again Brooks made the final roster; and when the starter at left tackle L.J. Shelton became injured, 0jǒPp \[-O s!saj) +%˜'aFZɖ̗[A4E8m{L8Be1䑜a%\++' 0}+`L.v\j-iX,WAN˩2+ץ25dSN0 * pzQ,ېz~}X%B_X`cP~2I\zR*p )%prX1E  LTSby@nPHiUchqwі((*x*5V*1GAon.I ai28nTJIZ(4]sML\1@3(n}9#SF2)Ȼe 8N fhC`@޵CR,;q4Z (4RzUrͻqMV#p#ڥhrFwC3Ҥ "2޵6i"" =@  sېHD7)@~!gmқ;Yy# ݉inQLNq#<ЇrzdV#E&p0Z|Zm6{z98's|e!gKwId L+m!NH\(:T*DѰyCҽĉ:wM\{SmN7'=i2- r9608+qh\^Tؤ_)VYCFa0[y$砩wh''08aXtITpAR8Ơ8do2pfRڊj`Gٓ`cɏƆH1áXYh6>9r6wHQx!,T22\Q 74m&ާ]]GΪGpvOZD@eG$*u*(փBU@1v\E, 'q`4ժCF ju+,'-JJe9?ѣX{^շnA:L7&u&JWᦓ=XaT`YN~?12&H?۸ؒ$k A*+~FXe$a) HR}Xyó $e`[&u7 zQHDtT~j].m e P\3n5S!b&T9RinAnʒk济-I-{*Ru%}&B2-.V4K`dzbU9QŜq5&8EurGMcB xi2`6`nb':&HTOxkߔ7RGSkҽ4Hѩe}xm;eKR%b uIMvI˲بپ>ўy}1)P/.\5GH|HVom|F!ބb'}5@ hk0E]s;Ś|:7U;ORm1~?Y0qPcȸ6JcZk0m~+ YA7Rٚ~aVɸ)S@xQ*.3ta54X,J=,y II@NMWvݾo<*)c:Hm}eƁec澪8s3dmrOh 7"- .I :5FL2Xo ?-c.0T2m7Gz!&;m7ֹyfԱ?
