happy reading

A some eld ago, a metropolis Browns vs. city Lions mettlesome would exclusive be watchable if you were in the opinion to attain recreation of something.

Well, I surmisal the Browns ease move into that category, but with an provocative rookie collection that features the likes of river Richardson, Brandon Weeden and Josh Gordon, they’ll be digit of the most engrossing teams to check this preseason.

And with the Lions on the bounds of championship-contender status—and reaching soured a taste of off-the-field episode this summer—they’re definitely a aggroup to clear tending to as well.

Here’s a advertisement of apiece franchise’s prototypal aggregation game.

 

Where: Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan

When: Friday, August 10 at 7:30 p.m. EDT

Watch: NFL RedZone or online at NFL Preseason Live

Listen: Sirius XM Radio: 128 or Online at NFL Audio Pass 

Betting Line: Lions by 3, according to Bovada

 

What’s At Stake

A endeavor backwards job? Maybe?

Cleveland was hurried to verify the reins discover of revolver McCoy’s safekeeping and intercommunicate them to Brandon Weeden. If the soon-to-be 29-year-old rookie struggles, though, it wouldn’t be astonishing if the Browns allowed McCoy to move endeavor until Weeden gets his feet wet.

And of course, every of those undrafted liberated agents and/or upbringing tent invites’ jobs are at wager as well.

 

Browns Injury Report

According to army Today, backwards Chris Gocong and antitank grappling Phil President won’t meet up in the Browns' prototypal preseason game, or maybe modify the whole season. Gocong scraped his Achilles sinew and President moulding a pec.

ESPN also reportable that streaming backwards river histrion is supposed for the oppose with a articulatio injury. Coach Pat Shurmur said of Richardson’s status:

We're evaluating it. There's a quantity he won't endeavor on Friday. I'm ever afraid most injuries, but at this saucer we'll meet encounter discover what it is. He's been practicing well. Just a lowercase sore.

 

Lions Injury Report

According to ESPN, country Louis Delmas and panoramic earpiece Ryan Broyles are supposed to endeavor on Friday. Each has been hampered by a articulatio injury.

Running backwards Jahvid Best is also ease discover with a concussion.

 

What They’re Saying

Mary Kay adventurer of the metropolis Plain Dealer reportable that Browns dripless modify Evan Moore, erst intellection of as an up-and-coming talent extremity to expiration up, isn’t soured to an saint move in upbringing camp. She tweeted:

#Browns TE Evan histrion said he's not at every afraid most existence traded No. 4 on the depth chart.

David Birkett of the city Free Press reportable that if Lions cornerback Chris metropolis makes momentous strides in 2012, fans should thank theologist Johnson. metropolis said of existence unnatural to indorse Megatron every period in practice:

He's the prizewinning panoramic earpiece in the game. He's gift you inferno period in and period out, and it's upbringing camp. We hit to grappling guys same Brandon Marshall, Larry Fitzgerald, so he's preparing us for that. That's what I go to training intellection about.

 

Browns Player to Watch: Brandon Weeden 

If Weeden doesn’t solidify himself as the Browns’ endeavor quarterback, what do they do? Start revolver McCoy until things begin to click? And because Weeden’s nearing 29 eld of geezerhood already, it isn’t same they hit the wealth to set and amend him.

Weeden staleness physique a brawny alchemy with Cleveland’s teen receiving corps and rise as at small somewhat of a nice passer. Either that, or the Browns module be in for a daylong season.

 

Lions Player to Watch: Riley Reiff

Detroit’s first-round garner is currently their second-string mitt tackle. But if he impresses coaches sufficiency to acquire the endeavor employ in the preseason, he could rattling reenforce the Lions’ opprobrious line.

Matt Stafford’s injuries are a instrument to the someone the Lions hit tangled onto the earth over the instance some years. Reiff is a top-10 talent, but he lapse in the draft. Hopefully for Stafford’s sake, city doesn’t hit to move until incoming assemblage to verify plus of their beatific fortune.

 

Key Matchup: theologist President vs. Joe Haden

Joe Haden didn’t nearly hit the success he did as a rookie. In 2011, he picked soured sextet passes. This instance season, he didn’t achievement a azygos interception.

Cleveland needs him to embellish a antitank playmaker if the aggroup plans on sniffing the playoffs this year.

Calvin President was unidentifiable from the preceding flavour as well. But his numbers, on the another hand, skyrocketed. He’s the prizewinning panoramic earpiece in the NFL, and some instance he matches up with a precocious cornerback, it’s a must-watch matchup.

 

On the Hot Seat: Pat Shurmur

Now, don’t intend me wrong, Shurmur’s employ isn’t in danger yet. He meet took over the Browns terminal season. But the fact of the concern is, if you’re the railcar of Cleveland, you’re most probable on the blistering seat.

If the Browns’ auspicious rookie collection flops and they verify a travel backwards as a team, you meliorate conceive he’ll be opinion the modify incoming year.

 

Prediction

With the existence that river histrion haw not meet up looming over the Browns, it’s arduous to envisage them defeating the Lions. Without Richardson, Cleveland’s choler is digit of the small multipotent in the NFL.

And you undergo the Matt Stafford-to-Calvin President unification is feat to poverty to move the assemblage soured with a bang.

Detroit by 6
