If you think that's shitting the bed then I've got some bad news for you lol

I think we held up fine against one of the better DLs in the league but I think Howard will be tested mightily by DEs who are faster than Dunlap. At 280, Dunlap is a power end and isn't that fast, yet he still ran circles around Howard. I can easily see a Khalil Mack or Von Miller getting a hat trick against Howard, even with help. He just isn't mobile enough. Similarly, I can see Hurst getting beat bad by better interior guys. He's not that bulky and strong.

When we play the Vikings in a couple weeks, that'll be a brutal test for Jensen, Hurst, and Howard. That front four is fast, fast, fast and they've got a pair of good DTs. I'm not sure how we're going to hold up against Everson Griffin, Danielle Hunter, and Linval Joseph, who last year combined for 24 sacks. In his second year, Hunter had 12.5. He's only going to get better, and he might get half of his season's sacks against Howard, who I just don't think is fast enough to deal with Hunter or Griffin. Anthony Barr is also in the mix there if he actually turns into a pass rusher this year.

Hopefully the vikes front four wears themselves out next week smashing Ben. lol

I think them playing a real NFL defense will show us who they really are. Steelers aren't great, but they're a lot better than Cameron Jordan and his rag tag band of shit lackies

I noticed BWill was credited with a good amount of pressure, I remember he also had a pressure bursting through a gap on the dumpoff that Mixon turned into a decent gain. God imagine how smart Ozzie looks like if Brandon turns into a decent pass rusher.

yeah PFF got him for 3 pressures, 1 coverage on 19 pass snaps
filmstudy got him for 6 pressures and 1 coverage on 19 pass snaps

either way that is a massive and dominant improvement from last year...

If he and Pierce continue to impose their will on a consistent basis, good lord.........

Hey Mod quick question for you. Is it possible you can invert the color scheme of the website to a white background with black lettering so older people like me can see clearly and frankly it also makes for a clean site visually... just a thought. Either way I'm here to stay.

That is a question for @purplepittabread88 or the other admin whom I do not remember off the top of my head.

I'm not a mod, but there should be a button at the bottom of the screen that says "PurpleFlock Dark". If you click that, you should be able to select the lighter theme.

Yes, you can do this. Click on your screen name and then go to preference and choose your color scheme. I use the light background with black type.

Here are the 6 pressures by BWilliams as I scored them by (Q, T) purposes so you can review if you like:
(Q1, 15:00)*
(Q1, 13:10)
(Q1, 3:59)
(Q1, 1:46)*
(Q2, 5:58) Shared with Levine
(Q4, 3:00)*

I've sent them to PFF (Gordon and Ben) for review. After reviewing these again this mornign, my guess is PFF did not credit a pressure for the plays I've marked above with an asterisk. Each case was certainly not ATS, in each case BWill beat his man badly, but you could make the argument the throw was unaffected by Williams' penetration. In each case, I would call the throw "hurried" by Williams.

Pierce on Tretter is the matchup the Browns can't win without help tomorrow. Tretter had an awful time lining up against the Steelers this last week.
 
i guess it is literally fated for eluemunor to get snaps in london - watch how bowanko and bergstrom both go down before sunday
