    Browns 44 - Dolphins 16

      Yeah, it is Grimes and Patterson... but I'm not sure that's good. Patterson has a huge vendetta in mind, says what happened in Cleveland "had nothing to do with football." Grimes had a pretty terrific preseason and their media said he looked "every inch a shutdown corner."

      Aside from Cameron Wake and Ellerbe, their defense is a little nondescript. Wallace, Hartline, and Gipson? Eh. We'll see.

      It'd be a great win. Gives us another week to get well and off suspension.

        We need to start winning at home, and this is a team just like us- they think their fortunes are on the rise. A win for the Browns, even if it is ugly means confidence. I'm not going to even mention the "L" word

          Missing Mingo for the opener is not that big of a deal. I truly trust Groves as our 3rd OLB at this point anyway.

          Missing Gordon will be big, but you have to trust that Norv will have a game plan that will work without him in there...

          Predicting a Browns win... close... 27-24

            If the browns score 44 pts, I will streak the field in the 4th Quarter and let out the rooster dick

              I think the Browns defense will suprise, even without Mingo.

              Also, if Weeden is on target and even a Game Manager type QB the Browns will win.

              But if Weeds shits a brick the browns

              will lose. That simple

                I need Jordan Cameron and T.rich to grab me a few TD's this week, Sunday can't come soon enough.

                In Cleveland failure is an artform.

                  true that.

                  i think a lot of people are putting a lot of positive hype on miami with tannehill, yet not seeing the same with the browns.

                  i think out defense is top 10 even w/o mingo.

                  gordon is a dumbass for getting suspended but like Z i agree this is where little has to step up (and as tour2ma...benjamin).

                  i think we break the dolphins in half early on and it's 31-13 brownies.

                  cameron has 2 tds himself behind TRs 2 and a tom tupa field goal.

                    Sobo was really on top of how Horton feels about DBs (his former position)... and just repeated it: He simply doesn't put a high premium on corners, period. He thinks it's all about the pass rush, which is why the Browns made it such a priority (Mingo, Kruger, Groves, Bryant, Bryant joining Sheard, now a couple more waiver guys).

                    Interesting. I know I overstate it a lot, like my mother could play #2 corner given that you can't breathe on a receiver anymore and any quarterback's gonna lay 400 on you if you don't rattle the pocket fast and often... but Horton might be even more radical than I am.

                    Oh, and Sobes also repeated that this Browns staff thought highly of Skrine from day one and felt that he was ready to start.

                    Eager to see just how aggressive he is on Sunday after holding back so much in the preseason. I've read over and over that he showed almost nothing they play to do.

                      The Browns rarely win any way but close. Usually the last 20 seconds. At least it seems that way.

                        1. First thing I'd like to see this Sunday is 85 to 95% of the seats occupied by the time players are introduced, and a real "home field" advantage.

                        2. Next thing is, by the time the game ends, I would like to be able to have to still have faith in the coaching staff and their game management.

                        3. And most important of all, an opening day win. Browns win 28-24

                          Things I think we'll see:

                          1. Weeden in the shotgun about 70% of the time.

                          2. A lot of carries for T-Rich, more than we'll see when Gordon returns.

                          3. 8 or more catches for Bess, mostly on third down.

                          4. Blitz-crazed aggression from Horton because we're facing a young QB.

                          5. Stuff we didn't show in preseason: Horton likes blitzes up the middle and Robertson was born for it. He's quick.

                          6. Good returns from Benjamin and Rainey. Field position will be key.

                          7. Browns might be a little more conservative on offense than they will be later. 23-17 Browns.

                              My gut says from reading what Banner said he will not play. I have a lot of faith in our other linebackers, and until we play a better offense, I'm not worried if he doesn't play

                                more importantly, I hope to see the seats heavily occupied in the fourth quarter

                                        im guessing that's two field goals and not a missed extra point. You're out of your fucking mind. With Miami's D there is no way we do not score a touchdown, I think we score at least 2 or 3. That's a hell of a prediction my friend. CLE 30 MIA 16
