I don't think so. I think it's going to be all out war. Thomas is the biggest reason why I think the Browns didn't suck last year. He made the entire OL better.

Steinbach was a pretty big help too. Joe Thomas is gonna be a great one, but he benefitted from having Steinbach play right next to him as a rookie.

I think it's going to be a good matchup. I'm gonna say Ware gets .5 sacks. Just trying to set a small goal so that when Ware passes it, it makes me happy :D

Although I betcha' Jerruh wants to be down there pissed off that the Browns didn't suck last year...

I don't disagree with that at all. I wanted Steinbach in FA.

I think Ware will get him once maybe twice.

I expect some more exotic blitzes from the LBs after a year of Wade's defense under their belt, along with some better cover corners.

The matchup I'm worried about is K2 vs RW

It's not about his sacks only.

It will be about the pressure he puts on Anderson to force him into making mistakes that hopefully turn the ball game in our favor.

A forced pass here, a stripped/fumbled ball there, and we're heading to a nice opening day road victory.

I love talking smack to browns fans, they showed up last year though. I got ware coming out strong this year with 3 sacks, and a pacman punt return for a td!

It should be great to watch. I don't expect Thomas to come out victorious. ;)

Really that whole line was great with the run blocking last season. That was their strength - they were just ok in the passing game when I watched them. And Anderson wasn't that hot either - but they do have a ton of weapons.

How about Tony, TO, and Witten versus that secondary? It's gonna be a long day. A looooooooooong day.

No worries friend. K2 won't be on RW. He is going to have to stay in the back field and help Thomas block Ware. :D

The Browns offensive line is good......I am worried about stopping the run and their play action going deep to Edwards with RW over the top lack of help

wow...not only is he expected to single handedly take care of their TE, now he also is responsible for all the deep help too

and of course any run that nets more than 5yds will assuredly be his fault as well

:rolleyes:

I still can't believe how completely ignorant people are regarding Roy. Obviously these mental midgets haven't played much football, certainly not on the defensive side of the ball.
