Getting Close To Browns Game

[Joelist]

Yes division games are tough. But acting like we stood in place this offseason is just not correct. We got a major quality injection on the OL with Brown, and the shift his signing enabled puts the line into a far better place. And there are even matchups that favor us, such as our interior OL versus their interior DL and our EDGE players against their OTs. If we can get any push inside on defense Watson will be forced to run a lot. And with the big injection of speed on D we are better equipped to handle running QBs.

I would assume that, especially with Reader playing, we will play on D to stop Chubb and make Watson beat us. When we are on offense this will be our first chance to really see if the players we added (Irv Smith, Chuck Sizzle, Chase Brown, etc.) will allow us to punish the Browns D if they do what we expect and sit in two high.
