Their offense had their best game of the season and they are looking to keep stride. Braylon Edwards is a tough receiver to cover, he makes difficult catches and is very good at getting open. But, he reminds of a bigger Santana Moss. He has stone hands at the worst times in games. Jamal Lewis is a bruiser and he's being led by a really strong offensive line. Joe Thomas made the Pro Bowl as a rookie last season and he has kept up the pace all season long. Defensively, the Browns should have a rough go of stopping Clinton Portis. They are allowing 137 yards on the ground a game, and Portis will be attacking all game long. Campbell needs to find a way to get Santana Moss involved, quick screens etc, just to keep the defense honest. Shaun Rogers is tough up front, as is Alex Hall, our offensive line is going to have to eat their Wheaties pregame for this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbleedBnG83 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 The key matchup will be our banged up secondary against their offensive weapons. We will need to apply lots of pressure. If can do that, we'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'KanSkinFan Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 We can't allow interceptions and our defensive secondary (*hint*hint* Landry and Horton) needs to intercept the ball. I look for Fletcher, Washington and Mike Sellers to be "big" into this game;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warpath11 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Another key match up will be Rabach against Shawn Rogers. The way Rabach has been playing he has no hope of slowing down Rogers (if Rogers plays with any interest). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
