Browns verses Titans
Vegas Line: Cleveland + 5 Over/Under: 36.5

What to expect from Patroits offense?

Coach Belichick, wants his defense to win the game and his offense too control the clock. Q.B.Tom Brady doesn't turn the ball over and mostly throws the short passing game. Their wide outs have plenty of speed- Troy Brown, David Patten and Fred Coleman can turn short passes into TD's! Throw in RB Antowain Smith and it's potent offense!

What the Browns defense has to do!

It's going to be hard for the Browns to have a decent pass rush by losing both starting DE's with injuries! So they'll mix different coverages up too confuse Brady and bring different blitze packages.

What the Browns must do!

They need to give Couch more time and not be so predicable with their play calling! The WR and RB's need too hold on to the ball and we need our special teams to step up big! If they have any trick plays use them!

What do I think?

Losing the way they did to the Titans and both starting DE's, I think Coach Davis will have them up for the game. The one thing this year about this team it doesn't quit and will play tough after a loss! Would I bet them "NO!"

Some Thoughts:

Hard fought defensive game! Couch took a beating because of our offensive line can't block worth a dam! To many dropped passes again by Morgan and Northcutt! (cost them the game)

Butch Davis used a time-out and forced the Patroits to try a field goal into the wind in which it worked! The defensed played tough without both of our starting DE's!
