Guyton got beat early, we all knew it would happen. Good experience for him IMO
Carson looks better than a mid-round pick to me. He got beat for a TD but never seemed running too far from his guy. Again good experience
Kneeland, seemed OK, nothing great but nothing bad that I saw
Beebe, the biggest thing to me is we didn't hear anything negative right? Didn't see any bad snaps or bull rushes from opponents. I expect issues but didn't see any today anyone else? Pretty promising really.
Liafau - didn't notice him
Carson will improve. For a 5th Rd pick, He didn't look like the situation was too big for him.

Carson
BeeBee
Guyton - Keep in mind he was going against the defensive MVP
Kneeland
I am not sure Liufai sp? played as I did not see him.
Guyton was an absolute star. He tamed Garrett. Very impressive as a rookie in his first start against the defensive MVP

Carson was pretty good for his first NFL game. I'm surprised they didn't test him more.

Kneeland played very well
lol yeah I was about to say, Kneeland invisible? Did this guy watch the game?

He looked really good for his first start and 6 pressures is awesome for a guy that is still really raw as a pass rusher.

Also, can we talk about how good Overshown looked in his first game action? The guy was basically a heat seeking missile all over the field.

Would like to see the All-22s this week on where the Browns defense broke free on interior line.

Guyton looked solid out there against MG, saw a few bad beats at the beginning of the game but then he got shut out. Beebe I didn't hear his name, so that was good. Love the confidence Carson plays with, he might be a gem. That is my first impression
Guyton had one penalty, if my memory is correct, but he played well.

there was one play where Dak moved Zeke away from Garrett and left Guyton without help and almost got clobbered by Garrett.no idea why Dak moved zeke when he could have slowed down Garrett.

I thought they all played solid.

I was most impressed with Carson. He made a number of plays breaking on the ball, which tells me he’s got a good feel and anticipation in coverage.

The TD he was beat on was just great throw by Watson. When thrown accurately that’s a tough pass to defend.

Was gonna say the same. Good awareness and anticipation in coverage.

Where is that clown T-RO? His post was about as wrong as you can be.

Formula: good defense, make Dak have 1-2 great drives, limit the mistakes.
Calling him a clown is a bit harsh. Come on.

I picked Dallas to win, but I noticed that the majority of the people in the "predict the score" thread picked Cleveland.
28 people in one thread picked the Browns

All I can say is that all of our rookies every year are going to have to play well if you are paying Dak, Lamb and Parsons !
