Geno Atkins and Mike Daniels as well as Shawn Williams are all out for the Browns game. None is really a surprise but losing 2 D-linemen is tough.

Bullock, as Zac said yesterday, is good to go

Talk about exposing our young LBs! Reader and Daniels were pretty good last week. Hopefully this week Reader and Covington are just as good.

Shit! Lots of Covington, Brown and Bledsoe. Maybe McKenzie or Freedom up from the PS.

Time for Andrew Brown to step up... and likely another heavy dose of Sam Hubbard at defensive tackle.

Oh Jeez. Do we have any DTs on the practice squad? haha

That's really tough. Hunt and Chubb are no joke. If they get going, Baker will be able to live off of the PA.

Bad news but hopefully a good decision in the long run. Would love to have both healthy for the majority of the year.

We just need to score early and often and make the Browns get away from the run game and we will be ok

Time for the edge rushers Dunlap, Hubbard, and Lawson to step up.
Reader should do fine stuffing the line and helping collapse the pocket, but he's not really a sack guy.
Unfortunately for our edge rushers, they have to go against Conklin and 1st round pick Wills.
Wills is the more raw of the two, but he has Bitonio on that side to help him.

I really hope Atkins injury doesn't turn in to one of those week by week things that turns into eventually being put on IR. I may have missed the news but I don't recall the extent of the injury aside from it being something to do with his shoulder.

Shit, not what I wanted to hear at all. I at least liked what I saw from Covington for the most part last game.

And Dunlap and Hubbard can play DT.

We need to run on these bastid Stains. That is all. But we really need to give Burrow some time so he can go off Play Action.

There were many flashes I saw in the first game that made me feel like we could be better than I thought.

It was like a preseason game going against one of the best D-lines in the league. Was not going to be easy.

Great test for Burrow and he looked great late in the game and our D looked way better than last year.

It sounds EXACTLY like this - expect to see both Atkins and Daniels on IR soon....typical Bungles.

Same. Wondering what is actually going on here...

We better see Atkins next week or the question becomes why didnt we IR him? we played 1 short all last season with AJ. This could be another reason for continuing to lose close games.

You know Mike brown is the only constant with the Bungal stuff. That said. I really like the guy...

If I was the Brown coach, I'd be drunk constantly because I coached the Browns.
While being drunk, I'd call on the RB almost every damn play because the yards will be gift-wrapped with no Atkins or suitable backup for the backup to stop their RB tonight.

Yup, Freedom elevated from PS.

I have this Horrible feeling that we wont see Atkins on the field this year.  Tre Wayne's and No Geno. This could have been a very good defense..

Will need the LBs to prove their worth tonight. If Pratt/Bynes can play decently and a guy like Wilson can make a few plays to help stop Chubb/Hunt I’ll be mighty impressed with the defensive overhaul.

Geez, what's a guy gotta do to get on your bad side?

They looked good last week. Need to step up again tonight with one of our stalwarts on the sideline again. Be glad when Geno is back in the rotation.
