I'm more worried about the QB than the RB... If we had a uber talented QB or atleast a real decent QB, Rube can win us a SB as the back....
If Antowain Smith and Michael Pittman can win SB's in the last 4 years as RB's, i'm sure Rube could as well if he had the overall talent around him...RB is the least of our problems...
Rube is not the problem... Our QB with a school girl arm is going to be the problem if we have problems...I don't know if Charlie's playmaking ability is going to be enough to overcome some of his overall short comings...Maybe he comes out and displays a poise and sound fundamental game that will get it done..
But I do like the offensive talent around him if healthy... If Winslow, Edwards, JJ, Northcutt and Rube can all stay healthy and perform well, that should make for a steady offense... Plus, all reports have this Wilson reciever as a real positive pickup for the Browns that will make tough catches in the middle of the field and in the red zone...
I'm not sure about Harrison as our Burner back... But I do like the fact that they got a change of pace type of back to compliment Rube's tough yards...
And lets keep in mind we did improve the O-Line this offseason... So that should obviously really help out this run game and passing attack despite a Charlie's noodle arm.. Having K2 should really help out Charlie for the short game...
And that's just the offense... I'm really excited about this team's defense... I really like the linebacking core, and I think the sleeper could be the Williams guy from the Hurricanes... I can't wait to see Jackson out there roaming around... I'll take a wait and see approach on Kamerion just because of the difficulty of the rush.... But I truly believe Jackson is going to be a future probowler for this team...
The secondary with a healthy Baxter and an improving Bodden will be fun to watch.... The question will be Pool and how he improves.. I like Pool though and I look forward to seeing Hamilton as well... I expect him to obviously be a special teamer, but the from all that has been printed, he seems to be a hard hitter...
I wasn't really excited about seeing the Browns last season... It's always fun when the season starts and all that, but there really wasn't a true excitment around the team... This season however is much different... I love the fact that this team went defense in the draft and is pinning their focus on that aspect of the field, all the while not forgetting about improving the O-Line in free agency...
I do wish we had a QB that was guaranteed to be pretty good and not a project... But, I do like the direction the team is moving in and the stamp Romeo and Savage has put on this team...
