He's been replaced by journeyman Jon Bostic. Not really a lateral move. Vince Williams, the other ILB has always been just a guy. Better shit-talker than football player. Couple that with their traditional issues in the secondary (ancient Joe Haden and bust candidate Artie Burns), and you have a vulnerable defense. Can't pretend they don't have some studs in the front seven, though. Watt/Dupree and the front 3 are pretty nasty.

Surprised so many think the Browns will win 8 games. I know they changed QB’s, and added some nice pieces like Landry, but going from 0 wins to 8 wins in one offseason would be quite a jump. They also still have Hue Jackson who makes Marvin look like Belichick.

It will be interesting to see. The Steelers do have some weaknesses (receivers outside of Brown, secondary) but are still the most complete team in the division. The Rats are just not that good and the Clowns are the Clowns.

I will stick to what I predicted for our Bengals
Bengals 12-4
Steelers 9-7
Ravens 8-8
Browns 4-12
I'm also predicting with our new Defence that we clean sweep the Steelers this season

Steelers can suck my left nut. That turd qb7 has never had a losing season. They're long overdue and it happens this year.

Flaco goes down, they struggle flip flopping between the backups. Ben goes down too only for Rudolph to step in and win a few. Browns shock the league after a poor start. Of course I don't wish for anyone to get injured, well other than Pitt and I know Flaco and Ben have been pretty reliable but their age starts to show this season. We get in as a WC only to loose Oakland.

Are you forgetting how #7 always wins with both legs broken after his dog dies and wife runs away with the milkman? It's always written by some hack in the "NFL department of impossible scenarios to make the golden boys look like world beaters."

True, but his age has got to catch up with him. The thing that sucks is I think Pitt will be just fine with Rudolph.

Really feel like this is the end of the line for the Steelers with Bell likely gone after this season and Roethlisberger nearing the end of his career. This division is there for the taking next couple of years and I like the moves the Bengals have made in the offseason to position themselves. Browns very well could be right there with the Bengals if Mayfield works out at QB. As for the Ravens, I like their defense but am not a believer in Joe Flacco or Lamar Jackson. They look like an 8-8 type team for the foreseeable future unless Jackson ends up being a real NFL QB.

Not sure if we win the division or not.
Bengals 9-7
Steelers 9-7
Ravens 8-8
Browns 2-14
If our O-line unit can play better as the season progresses, then I can see another couple of wins for us.
