I'm assuming that he is good to go -- but I don't think there has been an official call yet.

Maybe I am wrong,but now this is Dupree who plays on the right side of the defense....Watt in the left side.

Yeah, that may be right. Then I thought they were going to switch in game. Dunno, can't keep up and we never saw it in preseason since everyone was hurt.

Re: Week 1: Cleveland Browns.
For the 3-3-5 in defense, it can be a good idea, since the best players should be in the field more often.Nobody has an idea how will be our defense and with the last few years, it's not a bad idea if they change that defense a bit.
In preseason, this defense has been dominant against the titans and atrocious in the game before against the packers(vs Hundley and Kizer for the most part).
I do not know what to expect from this defense against the browns and in the games after....I would not be surprised if they give 150 yards to Josh Gordon with 2-3 big play or 200 rushings yards to the Browns and be soft once again, but I would also not be surprised if they have 5 or more sacks with less than 50 rushing yards and with at least 3-4 turnovers.

Re: Week 1: Cleveland Browns.
Not sure if we'll get 3-4 turnovers, but we can hold them. Tyrod Taylor is a QB that doesn't throw many INT's but his main knock was the same as Alex Smith, doesn't take shots down the field when it's there.
Most likely I think we'll win a close game, but if we get out to a 14pt lead it'll be a blowout.
The 3-3-5 defense might be interesting and maybe a good idea to have more speed on the field. Tyrod's ability to take off and run is what I'm worried about the most, especially with our lack of speed at the ILB position. Perhaps Edmunds is starting since his athleticism would be a way to put a spy on Taylor and keep him in check?

It was so a awful game to watch against the 0-10 Dolphins at this time!

Re: Week 1: Cleveland Browns.
Dress Big Dan and Banner. Put Banner at FB and McCullers at RB. Just let them rumble through the elements.

not sure we will ever truly adjust to not being able to hit the QB without a flag for some stupid reason ....
put flags on them already and be done with it

Re: Week 1: Cleveland Browns.
We usually win the bad weather game. Ben is a pretty good QB in bad weather. We have a great kicker.
Sure they can get lucky and win the TO battle. There’s always the luck factor.
Our young defense will blow a few big plays but they’ll also make SPLASH plays... pun intended. Ben just needs to throw screens to Garrett’s side. He’ll want to get to Ben so bad he’ll run himself out of plays.
Quick passes to AB all day. Let AB embarras the Browns by himself.
