So far, not bad. The Browns have shown pretty good ability to move the ball down the field on offense, and have also done some pretty good things on defense and they go into the half with a 14-10 lead.
Wallace has stepped in at QB and done a pretty nice job going 11/21 with 187 yards and a touchdown to Josh Cribbs. I remember hearing during training camp that Wallace and Cribbs had developed some pretty good chemistry, and that showed during the second quarter. Of course, Wallace also had that ugly interception that went for a touchdown for the Chiefs, but other than that I think he's looked pretty poised in the pocket and has made some nice confident throws. In terms of the running game, hopefully either Hillis or Harrison will really get it going against Mr. Snuggles' (that's my nickname for Romeo Crenel) defense in the second half. Both have less than 30 yards so far individually, and the Browns have only rushed for 57 yards as a team. This is a team that has set the pace with the run, so hopefully that will be the case in the 2nd half.
In terms of the defense, Rob Ryan has to be pleased with the job his squad has done so far, only letting up 3 points that came off a costly turnover. They've only surrendered 60 passing yards to Cassel and have forced two interceptions - and one was by defensive lineman Athyba Rubin! In terms of the running game, the Browns have done a pretty nice job so far only letting up 69 yards, but they'll have to stay hyped up because Jamal Charles and Thomas Jones are a formidable twosome.
If the Browns stay aggressive on defense and protect the ball on offense in the second half, they should come away with a W. See you after the game,
