The dimwitted three rivers slime is #11, I think.</p>

<p>The Browns, per this guy... are 15. That's huge. I included the Jets because they now have the RT problem like</p>

<p>the Browns have had for years. And, the RT is the most critical.... ??? </p>

<p>That would explain a lot of the failure of the Browns' offense.</p>

<p>The Browns' offense is going to shock a lot of opponents. And make Browns fans' believers.</p>

<p>Well, except maybe Rich. We'll see. <img src="https://brownsboard.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/twemoji/1f60e.png?v=33a42da2581" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-twemoji emoji--sunglasses" title=":sunglasses:" alt="😎" /></p>

<p>15. Cleveland Browns</p>

<p>LT: Joe Thomas*</p>
<p>LG: Jason Pinkston*</p>
<p><img src="https://brownsboard.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/twemoji/1f604.png?v=33a42da2581" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-twemoji emoji--smile" title="C:" alt="😄" /> Alex Mack*</p>
<p>RG: Shawn Lauvao*</p>
<p>RT: Mitchell Schwartz</p>

<p>Top reserves: T/G Oniel Cousins, OG John Greco, G/T Ryan Miller, OG Stanley Daniels, OG Dominic Alford. </p>

<p>Overview: Perhaps no NFL team has poorer offensive line depth than Cleveland, but this is a promising young group with a chance at long-term continuity. All five starters are under the Browns' contractual control through 2013, and weak link Pinkston figures to make strides in his second year as a starter. <span style="color:#8b0000"><strong>Pinkston, Mack, Lauvao, and Schwartz are all scrappy mauler types with vast run-blocking potential. Thomas is arguably the best left tackle in the league. While a lack of depth knocks Cleveland's line down a few notches, No. 3 overall pick Trent Richardson shouldn't struggle for running lanes if the starters stay healthy. </strong></span>Brandon Weeden still needs some receivers. </p>



<p>17. New York Jets</p>

<p>LT: D'Brickashaw Ferguson*</p>
<p>LG: Matt Slauson*</p>
<p><img src="https://brownsboard.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/twemoji/1f604.png?v=33a42da2581" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-twemoji emoji--smile" title="C:" alt="😄" /> Nick Mangold*</p>
<p>RG: Brandon Moore*</p>
<p>RT: Wayne Hunter*</p>

<p>Top reserves: T/G Vladimir Ducasse, OG Caleb Schlauderaff, OT Austin Howard, T/G Dennis Landolt, G/T Robert T. Griffin. </p>

<p>Overview: The Jets fielded the best offensive line in football during the 2009-10 seasons, but the unit has quickly devolved into much less of a strength. <span style="color:#0000ff"><strong>Right tackle is perhaps the most critical front-five position on a run-heavy team, and New York has gone from starting one of the league's top strong-side tackles (Damien Woody) to arguably the worst.</strong></span><span style="color:#0000ff"> </span>Ferguson and Mangold remain among the NFL's elite, but Slauson is a replacement-level performer and Moore has lost his run-blocking fastball going on age 32 after major hip surgery. Depth is another big concern. Further complicating matters is New York's lack of a running back capable of creating yardage on his own. The Jets' line is suddenly league average at best, and it's not getting any better this year. </p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/topic/23089/the-addition-of-swartz-gives-the-browns-an-offensive-boost</link><generator>RSS for Node</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 02 Oct 2026 22:20:01 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://brownsboard.com/topic/23089.rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><pubDate>Wed, 06 Jun 2012 14:59:24 GMT</pubDate><ttl>60</ttl><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to The Addition Of Swartz Gives The Browns An Offensive Boost on Wed, 06 Jun 2012 18:26:52 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Yeah....rt was the offenses problem....</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/291541</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/291541</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[choco]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 06 Jun 2012 18:26:52 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to The Addition Of Swartz Gives The Browns An Offensive Boost on Wed, 06 Jun 2012 18:23:42 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>I anticipate that Ryan Miller will go a long way toward improving the Browns depth on the OL.
