or at least win big!
I'm nervous , bigtime - I see Winslow, Edwards and a QB who can throw at Roy Williams as well a top flight RB in Jamal Lewis. Not to mention the dog pound.

I'm expecting it 17-17 into the 4th QTR and coming down to a FG.
I guess I just don't see us as people like Aikman do, I see the lack of QR depth and suspect secondary as potential pitfalls. On top of that all, we love - LOVE - to beat ourselves with 11 penalties for 77 yards and 2 Big False Starts on Flo.

Hope I'm wrong.

breathe! it should be a really fun game. going into the Dawg Pound is a good challenge to test us off the bat. We have the weapons to inflict the damage. It's all good!

Jamal Lewis is top flight? Interesting. The Browns offense is going to see a 1994 Niner type defense. I'm sticking to that. I see atleast 3 picks for Anderson.

When was the last time Flo had 2 false start penalties in one game? He doesn't even average one per game.

Lewis has hamstring issues, so he won't be at his very best.

This should not be a low scoring game and I think a game that is 17-17 going into the 4th would be low scoring.

I don't see this game being close at all. Whichever team wins this game will win by more than a TD in my opinion and maybe win by 10 to 13 points. It could be either team. I just think Dallas will take it.

I think this might not be as close as the board is seeing it. It really depends on how procter plays against Shaun Rodgers. If he dominates and slows our running game it could be closer. If we run freely and have success on the ground it does not matter how their offense plays.

Lewis had 1300 yds and 9 TD's as well as 2 more thru the air; yes, that's very much Top Flight.

I was under the impression Rodgers plays the nose tackle in a 3-4, so Gurode should be playing him.

Well i honestly feel we will have a top ten defense when it comes to scoring. That being said I am looking for atleast one touchdown from the D, and atleast them getting us a ball for a field goal.

You don't think we will be double teaming him? You don't think they will be using our O-line injuries to their advantage?

What did he do the year before that? He is an up and down running back and injury prone back. I'm not worried about him for Sunday.

Rogers will be winded by the second series of the game. Gurode will own him. A 3-4 NT has to line up over the center or there is a big hole in the center of the defense.

I understand how it works. I'm not so sold Gurode will dominate him. Rodgers has a lot a lot of talent. Granted he does not use it all the time but we will see. My point is if we can run successfully this game will not be close.

Gurode will dominate almost any DT/NT physically. About the only ones that I think he'd have trouble with are Jamal Williams and Wilfork. When he has problems, it is mental.

Rogers are just too fat, too slow and too unmotivated to make a big difference in this game (based on his play the last couple of years).

hopefully Roy can lay someone out early to make Anderson think twice about putting his receivers in danger.

I think RW needs to send a message to Kellen Winslow if that happens we would be good.

Maybe your right. I have always like Rodgers a lot. Give you three guesses why
