Dolphin Digest Countdown To Kickoff: Cleveland Browns

[BAMAPHIN 22]

SCOUTING REPORTCleveland's Record: 1-1Last Game: Beat Indianapolis 27-19Overview: The Browns were hoping to make big strides this season under new head coach Pat Shurmur, but they dropped their opener at home against Cincinnati before rebounding to beat the Peyton Manning-less Colts on Sunday. While Cleveland very well might be better in 2011, making the playoffs will be difficult with the Steelers and Ravens in their division.The Browns' Strength On Offense: This is pretty simple, and it’s the same thing as last year. What Cleveland does best is run the ball, and that’s because of power back Peyton Hillis. The encouraging thing for the Dolphins is they held him to only 57 yards on 18 rushing attempts in last year’s game at Sun Life Stadium.The Browns' Question Mark On Offense: Former University of Texas star Colt McCoy is now the guy at quarterback and he flashes great ability at times. The big problem for Cleveland is a lack of playmakers at wide receiver.The Browns' Strength On Defense: It was ironic that Cincinnati’s game-winning touchdown in the opener came because the Browns defense didn’t get out of the huddle in time to cover wideout A.J. Green, who ran unchecked down the field. Cleveland actually has a pretty good secondary, particularly at cornerback where the starters are veteran Sheldon Brown and Joe Haden, the seventh overall pick in the 2010 draft.The Browns' Question Mark On Defense: The Browns have switched back to a 4-3 defense after playing a 3-4 under Eric Mangini, but either way they don’t have playmakers at linebacker outside of D’Qwell Jackson.The Browns' Strength On Special Teams: Joshua Cribbs has been one of the most dangerous kick returners in the NFL for many years, and he’s already got a 43-yard punt return and a 52-yard kickoff return this season.The Browns' Question Mark On Special Teams: Cleveland lost punter Richmond McGee in the opener and turned to veteran Brad Maynard as his replacement. Maynard is a solid directional punter, but he’s not a guy who can deliver a big kick if the Browns are backed up near their goal line.http://www.miamidolphins.com/news/a...d-Browns/a87d8a8b-94fd-402e-9480-4016848a6502

Cleveland is not putting up 31 points on us with that offense...if that happens then not only should Sparano be fired but Nolan should be right on his heels.
