OFFENSE
QB Jason Campbell vs. Ben Roethlisberger
OK, probably the biggest matchup disparity on the whole board (except for LT), and it happens to be at the most important position on the field.
RB Willis McGahee vs. Laveon Bell
Browns running game not up to snuff...not even with a questionable rookie like this
FB Chris Ogbanaya vs. Will Johnson
Call it a wash
.
WR1 Josh Gordon vs. Antonio Brown
Sorry Vagitarian, I would rather have Gordon than Brown....and Brown has played well
WR2 Davone Bess vs. Emmanuel Sanders
Actually, I thought Greg Little was Browns #2 WR. Bess has disappointed with all his drops.
TE Jordan Cameron vs. Heath Miller
I am going to go with a wash here. Miller's history would give him an edge, but injuries have hurt him
LT Joe Thomas vs. Kelvin Beachum
NO Brainer
LG John Greco vs. Ramon Foster
Not a no brainer....but I will favor our guys.
C Alex Mack vs. Fernando Velasquez
Losing Pouncey gives this to Browns...though even then they may have had it.
RG Shawn Lavao vs. Davis DeCastro
DeCastro fairly up an coming. By end of year Lauvao may have come and went
RT Mitchell Schwartz vs. Marcus Gilbert
Again, slight edge. The Schwartz having a bit of a sophomore slump.
DEFENSE
LDE Ahtyba Rubin vs. Cameron Heyward
This may be the one area of the defense where it is the Browns with the wiley veteran vs. the Steelers.
NT Phillip Taylor vs. Steve McClendon
Phil is on Pro Bowl level, McClendon is not.
RDE Desmond Bryant vs. Brett Keisel
I will give that "wiley vet" edge to the beard.
LOLB Paul Kruger vs. Lamarr Woodley
Kruger needs to do better to earn his money.
LILB Craig Robertson vs. Vince Williams
Wash, rookie vs. second year man. Neither doing all that great.
RILB DQwell Jackson vs. Lawrence Timmons
Fairly equal, but give Timmons the edge.
LOLB Jabaal Sheard vs. Jason Worilds
Worilds a weak link in Steeler LB corps. Sheard steady if not spectacular.
LCB Joe Haden vs. William Gay
Haden top 5, maybe top 3 CBs in NFL
SS TJ Ward vs. Troy Polamalu
Independent reviewer says TJ is playing in top 2-3 SS in league
FS Tashaun Gipson vs. Ryan Clark
Here is where the "wiley vet" edge comes in....though I don't think pure talentwise the little Gipper takes a back seat.
RCB Buster Skrine vs. Ike Taylor
Skrine playing lights out. I guess I could have give "wiley vet" edge here to Pitt....but I can't give them every one of those.
Punter Lanning vs. Mattt McBrian
Kicker Billy Cundiff vs. Shaun Suisham
PR Davone Bess vs. Antonio Brown
KR Fozzy Whittaker vs. Felix Jones
After the poor performance of Browns special teams, I give them no edges at all. Loss of Travis Benjamin main problem here.
OC Norv Turner vs. Todd Haley
DC Ray Horton vs. Dick LeBeau
Still gotta go with the master, though hopefully Sunday the Sorcerer's Apprentice will have shown he has learned his lessons well.
HC Mike Tomlin vs. Rob Chudzinski
Obviously have to go with a guy who has been to two SBs over a rookie HC
