The browns beat the Titans so now they're good? I don't see anything scary about the Browns. In the first meeting they gashed the steelers with outside zone runs. The steelers have always had trouble with that but i expect them to be much better now than week 1 because Keisel is more in game shape, Tuitt knows a bit more, and they have Harrison who can set an edge.
Week 1 was just blown assignments everywhere. The browns may have some success running but it won't be easy like week 1.
The Browns defense is a huge disappointment this year. On paper, they looked to be one of the best this year but they've been terrible. Now they are without Phil Taylor on the DL and likely Joe Haden at CB. Haden couldn;t cover Antonio when healthy. If he plays, he won't be 100%.
The Steeler offense has looked great in pieces. They've run effectively, then they'd look great in the air. Problem is they haven't put it together at the same time. It's as if Haley has been working on different aspects a bit at a time.
I have a feeling it will start to come together in this game. More balance between run and pass which leads to play action passes and big plays mixed in with the quick passes.
Wheaton needs to step up. Ben needs to make quicker reads. Lance Moore needs to play the slot instead of Justin Brown. I think all of these will happen and the Steelers will roll.
Or they will come out strong then quit and let the browns back in it like last time.
Steelers 38
Browns 20
