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 andy up for a new contract and the Rams not inclined to resign their starting right tackle, the 1999 right tackle job wany individuals have tried to instill a fear in athletes and coaches that Olympic lifting was dangerous and heaven forbid that a woman compete in the sport! The appropriate way to train, according to some, ws very sowly. As for exercise selection, they insisted the emphasis hotherapy. Brooks was subsequently releaed by the Rams, and he turned down offers from both the Saints, Cowboys and the Jaguars.<br> As his wife s helth began to improve, Brooks signed with the Cardinals (over the Jauars and the Broncos) in the 2000season 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, Brookssaw more playing time.  Shelton went down the first play of the first game, so I got to play that whole game, and then the following two games I started. However, at the end of the season the Cardinals decided not to extend players who had missed significant amounts of practice time, as Brooks had in caring for his wife. Brooks was immediately picked up by the Broncos.<br>In February 2001 tragedy struck again, and thi time Jackie lost her battle with cancer. There would be no football for Brooks this year.  When Jackie passed away I just really wasn t 100 percent focused on football, says Brooks. When he was eventually able to handle his irreparable loss, Brooks knew he had a lot of work to do if he was to play again. He needed to get ack in shape, and he needed to do it quickly.<br>The Poliquin Factor<br><br>Through his brother Fletcher, who is now a track and strength coach at Williams College, Brooks learned about Charles Poliquin, co-owner of the Poliquin Performance Center in Tempe, Arizona. Poliquin s pro clients include over 60 NHL and over a dozen NFL players.  I wanted to work with Charles to get my strength levels up to a level where I could really compete on the field, says Brooks. The results were beyond anyone s expectations.<br>Brooks started working with Poliquin on April 12, and continued for the next three months. He trained for one approximateS{72&~B\"7#VãC?/麌vq]D)?&>xo޼ 3,&H 4\V/?/tw;x.2ҕHECP<1jw: NȬ=uŜh2FVCّW.ʬ1V?g |5נ%7B)n/*7/^,<׼ghJ5)uh"'IUILi;aZPit <-$Ru UfJX_^~)O1_#F6<itɃ0~\F d!'$@|h_3Fέ KHH<o9D;~`hQxX]b EP[¤1vz ]y^0i9.t kXגK |up
