The Battle of "O-Win-No" seems a little more appropriate, as the Cleveland Browns and the Cincinnati Bengals each enter this game with an 0-3 record. The Browns need to build some momentum heading into the bye week. This game literally means everything in the world to the futures of both Derek Anderson and Romeo Crennel. With a win, and I mean a good win, they will both last beyond the bye week. With a loss, we will be looking ahead to next season. The Bengals' problem is their defense -- if you can't stop anybody and your offense can't compete in a shootout anymore, then what chance do you have?
Can the Browns finally get their first victory of the season? Let's kick off the preview with the overall team statistics thus far...
OFFENSE
| Category | Browns | Bengals |
| Points Scored | 8.6 (32nd) | 13.3 (29th) |
| Passing | 122.7 (31st) | 152.0 (26th) |
| Rushing | 71.3 (30th) | 86.7 (25th) |
| Total Offense (yards) | 194.0 (32nd) | 238.7 (30th) |
DEFENSE
| Category | Browns | Bengals |
| Points Scored | 22.0 (18th) | 22.3 (20th) |
| Passing | 202.0 (18th) | 178.7 (12th) |
| Rushing | 145.0 (25th) | 174.3 (28th) |
| Total Defense (yards) | 347.0 (23rd) | 353.0 (24th) |
|
Quarterback
I was originally going to give the Bengals the edge here, but when I heard that Carson Palmer was ruled out due to injury, the edge goes back to Derek Anderson. Though he has not performed well over the first three weeks of the season, he has a lot more starting experience than Ryan Fitzpatrick does. Anderson's season is on the line here -- if he starts off the game with a hot hand, then he will live to see another day as a starter. If he throws interceptions or leads several three-and-outs in a row, then Brady Quinn will receive serious consideration from Romeo Crennel. |
|
|
Running Back
Neither the Browns nor the Bengals have gotten their ground games going -- each team is averaging less than 100 yards per game. In Lewis' case though, it seems to have more to do with the Browns falling behind and abandoning the run than it does Lewis having a sub par season. Reports have indicated that the Browns are committed to focusing their entire gameplan around Lewis this week, especially after his outcry for more touches following last week's game. Crennel also stated for the second consecutive week that they will try to give Jerome Harrison a few more touches. Let's see if he's actually true to his word this week. |
|
Receiver
Right now, Braylon Edwards is struggling more than any receiver in football besides Chad Johnson. When you cancel both of those players out of the equation, it boils down to T.J. Houshmandzadeh against Syndric Steptoe. I think I'd take Houshmandzadeh any day of the week in that contest. The Browns still have Kellen Winslow at their disposal, but Anderson's chemistry with him hasn't been very high. The Bengals have had more support from Antonio Chatman on their depth chart to give them the slight edge heading into the game. Overall, the Browns still have the better talent. |
|
|
Offensive Line
Eric Steinbach, after originally being reported as having an injury that would keep him out 3-5 weeks, is ACTIVE for today's game against the Bengals. That means the Browns' line should be completely healthy, and thank goodness -- Seth McKinney was horrible last week and also affected the play of Joe Thomas. The Bengals haven't had a dominant offensive line the past several years, something that has corresponded to the struggles of Carson Palmer. |
|
|
Defensive Line With the Bengals struggling to get their running game going and an inexperience quarterback under center, this is a perfect opportunity for Shaun Rogers to put the heat on. Remember, we originally thought that the Cincinnati Bengals had acquired Rogers in the offseason, but then the deal was void and we ended up getting him instead. The Bengals only have one sack through three games, so trying to win the battle in the trenches shouldn't be much of a threat. |
|
Linebacker
The Browns don't have playmakers at linebacker. On the other side of the field though, the Bengals don't even have guys that can tackle. Just take a look at their Week 1 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, when they allowed Joe Flacco to run down the field for a 33 yard touchdown. Lewis could be in for a big day -- recall last season that he ran for over 200 yards against them in Week 2. |
|
|
Secondary
Though the defensive backs were a big concern heading into the season, Brandon McDonald and Eric Wright have definitely held their own. The Bengals have yet to record a single interception this season and are not known as having a shutdown secondary. |
|
|
Special Teams
Could this be the week that Joshua Cribbs makes the impact we've been looking for? If it's a high-scoring affair, then he'll get a lot of looks. Phil Dawson has been perfect this season, but he has not had any meaningful attempts yet. Hopefully he'll be able to make more of an impact on the game this week. |
FINAL PREDICTION: Cleveland Browns 24, Cincinnati Bengals 9.
If Carson Palmer was playing, I was thinking of picking the Bengals to defeat the Browns. With Ryan Fitzpatrick under center, things aren't going to be good for the Bengals. They struggled to move the ball the first two weeks due to awful schemes and playcalling -- only Palmer's abilities were able to bail him out of that. Unless Anderson single-handedly loses this game again, we shouldn't have any problems taking care of the Bengals. Tough to say when you're 0-3 though, eh?
This is the official gameday topic for the Cleveland Browns in Week 4 as they face off against the Cincinnati Bengals. All comments regarding the game should be posted in this topic. Enjoy the game, and GO BROWNS!!!

On the pass to Winslow, it could’ve been a little more to the outside. But, I think Winslow could’ve done a better job shielding his body to an undersized, young cornerback in Leon Hall.
The next pass…looked ugly, but the CBS crew do a bad job of truly showing what the “confusion” from Steve Sanders was. I certainly wouldn’t bench Anderson just yet.

Still hoping we can get a look at Quinn sometime to see what he can do.
by rufio on Sep 28, 2008 4:00 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Short of running off 5 straight and getting back in this thing (Wash, Jax, Balt, Den, Buf, Hou), I think the best possible senario for this season is something like 7-9, 8-8, and DA doing enough to show he’s a Starting caliber QB, not Pro Bowl maybe, but not awful (85 rating at 25 years old or something).
That way maybe we can get a 2nd for him and the Quinn era starts after a loaded draft next spring.
by kwoog on Sep 28, 2008 4:05 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
That sounds like the best case scenario right now. I wouldn’t be upset with hovering around .500 after the 4-12 and 6-10 seasons. It’s doable but will take more than one or two series from our “real” offense.

I respect Ozzie. Of course I hated Billick, and hate Lewis… but other than that, I don’t have any reasons to completely loathe them. I don’t consider the loss of our team to have anything to do w/ the current Baltimore Ravens.
by kwoog on Sep 28, 2008 4:24 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Interesting question, as I discussed the same thing with some of my relatives yesterday.
I would much rather see Baltimore win, because I think eventually they’ll collapse due to their offensive ineptness. Meanwhile, the Steelers have too much experience to be a basement team. So, it’d be better for them to soak in a loss right now so that they don’t jump too far ahead of us in the standings. This goes along with the presumption that the Ravens will go on to finish a 6-10 or 7-9 team.

The way Baltimore D is playing, their may not be a collapse due to our offensive ineptness. All our offense has to do is not mess up and put a least 2 tds on the board. if we are able to get a small lead going into the 4th, our D will hold it or may even make it larger. You guys know all about that.(not starting any troble).

I agree, it is very dangerous to just casually say “sure, let’s give the Ravens three division wins and expect them to just roll over and die!”
It doesn’t look like any of the AFC North teams are good enough to beat any of the NFC East teams though. Taking that into consideration, it’ll probably come down to how each of the AFC North teams do against each other the second time around.

Returns of JJ, Stallworth, Rucker, possibly seeing Beau Bell, Ryan Tucker (did he play today?), possibly but doubtfully Sean Jones, getting Steinbach to 100%…those all seem to be things to be excited about to me.

Tucker did not play. Sowells came in for Kevin Shaffer, who got a concussion in the 3rd. But Tucker should be available after the bye, or so it sounds.

The training staff and Stallworth have two weeks to get him healed and on the field.
Joe J has to stay out for six games, right?
by JulioBernazard on Sep 28, 2008 7:22 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I thought it was six weeks, and then he has to practice within a week or something or be put on IR. Regardless, it is something to be excited about later on in the season.
by rufio on Sep 29, 2008 11:14 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I believe it’s something like this: they are eligible to return after Week 6. If they can’t return by Week 9 (or 10, not sure), then they get IR’ed.
Rucker could be back for the Giants game if he stayed on schedule.

Here are the rules, pulled from this article about LeCharles Bentley (SOB)
During the first six weeks of the regular season, players on Reserve/PUP are allowed to attend meetings and continue rehabilitation at the club facility, but are not eligible to practice with the club.
After the sixth week, the club has a three-week window (Weeks 7-9) to allow a player on Reserve/PUP to begin practicing with the club. Once the player begins practice, he can practice for three weeks before the club must make a decision as to his roster status.
At any point following the sixth week of the regular season through the expiration of the player’s three week practice window, the club can add the player to the 53-man roster or place the player on Reserve-Injured. Additionally, at the expiration of the practice window, the club can allow the player to remain on Reserve/PUP for the remainder of the season.

Meant to add, having Rucker and Stallworth could be potentially huge. I would be really happy if that were the case and even happier if Rucker saw some playing time in contravention to Crennel’s not usually playing rookies strategy.
by NickFantana on Sep 30, 2008 5:44 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Stallworth would be huge. He would completely change the way defenses are playing us. It would open Winslow up big time.
by gahnki on Sep 30, 2008 10:11 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
If I am an opposing team, I am still counting Braylon and Kellen as the #1 and #2 pass threats. Even with Stallworth. Not saying it’s not going to be great to have a legit NFL wideout besides Braylon, but the D might not leave Kellen to go cover Stallworth. I wouldn’t.
by rufio on Oct 1, 2008 6:54 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
We clearly need offensive weapons right now, so I hope the fact the Rucker is a rookie won’t affect things his PT much, but it probably will. I am disappointed to hear we have to wait until after week 6.
Love Rucker’s versatility, and with him, Vickers, Harrison, Winslow, we have a good handful of offensive guys who are versatile. I would love to see them shift a lot to create mismatches and false reads.
