Browns Town

The first game is closing in. Let's jump into the second part of my browns preview (don't worry, this won't be as long as part 1)

DEFENSE:

Defensive Linemen: The Browns D-line is anchored by 6'5", 365 pound Ted Washington at noese . On one side, there's Orpheus Roye (6'4", 330). At the other end, there's Robaire Smith (6'4", 320), who has had an impressive preseason.

Linebackers: This is where the Browns shine. Even though they will be without Willie McGinest for an undisclosed amount of time, they are still strong. The standout here is outside linebacker Kamerion Wimbley, who led the Browns in sacks last year with 11. Joining him on the outside is newly acquired Antwan Peek. The inside linebackers will be Andra Davis and D'Qwell Jackson; both had relative success for the Browns last year.

Cornerbacks/Safeties: The guy to watch is second-round draft pick cornerback Eric Wright. This guy was a first-round talent and had a very impressive preseason. I'm anxious to see what kind of season he will have. The other cornerback is Leigh Bodden, a standout from last season. However, he just got arrested and accused with aggravated disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. He pled not guilty, but you know that Commissioner Roger Goodell will look into this. The safeties are Sean Jones and Brodney Pool, two young player whose futures look bright.

SPECIAL TEAMS (not much to say here)

Kicker: Phil Dawson

Punter: Dave Zastudil

Kick/Punt Returner: Joshua Cribbs

That's it. Now, I'm a huge Browns fan. However, I still don't think the Browns are playoff-bound yet. They've got a lot of things to prove this season. Best case scenario, i say they go 8-8, and that's if EVERYTHING GOES THEIR WAY. I don't know how Charlie Frye will be. I know that Romeo Crennel didn't seem too confident when he named him the starter. Don't be surprised if Brady Quinn starts before the end of the season. I do see good things happening for the Browns in the future. In the meantime, let's go kick some Steeler butt!
