Just took a quick look at the browns forum to see what their fans were saying and thought I'd share some of their thoughts

Firstly, I was suprised to see quite a lot of them calling Joe Haden "only average," they have said he struggles with guys like antonio brown, the same guy Brandin cooks was compared to in the draft process
He matches up well with tall receivers but struggles with the smaller shiftier players
Depending on where we line cooks up, He could have a big day either way, SP loves matching colston up on linebackers though, I think that's a matchup we will try to exploit

Justin Gilbert their rookie CB - they have said he looks completely lost out there, surrendering big gains and not tackling well

I know on every forum there's a couple of delusional fans, I laughed a little when I read quite a few saying they weren't scared of our team because they beat us in 2010.....like yeah that's how it works, completely different team

Obviously they saw the falcons game and I don't blame them for being optimistic about putting points up on our D, most of them are saying the normal "keeping brees off the field is the way we win" sort of talk, which I can understand
I think/hope our D will go back to basics, if they do it will be much improved this week

In short, I think Cooks has the opportunity to have a big day, but I wouldn't be surprised If someone like stills, morgan, meachem gets left open as they try to matchup with cooks, colston, graham

I hope Ingram runs angry, I like watching him run when he wants to hit someone

let me know your thoughts!

We should be able to push Vaccaro and Byrd up towards the box a bit more in this one. If our CB cant match the Browns one on one without the big we have big issue cushions of last week we have some major issues.

We must collapse the pocket better this week. Too many times last week the pressure was just about there on Ryan and he found a escape route and had plenty of time.

Other than the perennial difference maker, turnovers, its gonna be decided by their run game versus our D-line and LB's.

They have a much better defense than Atlanta and a better O-line.

If turnovers are even, we win by 6.

Good ol dawg pound fans... I would love to have an 'average Joe' down in New Orleans.

They sound ridiculous.

I worry about this game. They are a lot better than the Browns have been in the past. Their defense could potentially give us problems.

But, I think our guys understand how disastrous an 0-2 start would be, so we'll go into it ready to take care of business. Not a blowout but we should win by 7 to 10 points.

God, I hope it is by more than that, but **** I'll just take a w

The Browns have the makings of a very very good defence. Their offense are not nearly as good thou with Gordon gone and the TE banged up.

I think our guys will come out guns blazing to try and just pummel the Browns from the start. I hope Vaccaro can lay the boom early on defense. Offensivly i hope Ingram can get 10 more carries than last week. Its when he get many carries he thrives and with 20+ he'll have a 100yd day and under coach Payton a 100yd day by a RB means we are winning like 95% of the time.

W.T. Sherman is my favorite General. After all he did order Atlanta to be burned to the ground.

All speculation until our D shows up.

look at that OL they are building. talk about sweet.

LT Joe Thomas
LG Joel Bitonio
C Alex Mack
RG John Greco
RT Mitchell Schwartz

they may run a bit more to the left side? ya think?

Crusader

That is a great OL. I think if the Browns could just get stability for a yar or two and an above average QB they will be a perennial play-off team.
