Minnesota Vikings at Cleveland Browns, Sep 13, 2009 1:00 PM EDT
Are you ready for some Cleveland Browns football? I can only hope that this year's opener is better than last year's, a game in which we tanked against the Dallas Cowboys. Nationally, the expectations are much lower for the Browns this season. New head coach Eric Mangini will have his first opportunity to silence his critics and prove he's put together a football team that is tougher and more focused than previous years.
| MINNESOTA VIKINGS (0-0) | WEEK 1 | CLEVELAND BROWNS (0-0) | |||

Mangini will have his hands full against the running game and run defense of the Minnesota Vikings. Adrian Peterson is the best running back in the NFL, and the Vikings' duo of Pat Williams and Kevin Williams is darn near impossible.
Originally, not many people outside of Cleveland and Minnesota were expected to see this game on television. But then, midway through training camp, Brett Favre made headlines again by coming out of retirement to play for Brad Childress. Ironically enough, Favre's first game comes against the coach, but not the team, he played for last year. Now, will his lack of chemistry allow him to fit in with the Vikings offense right away?
For those who didn't see it, I reciprocated a Q&A session with our Minnesota Vikings blog. My answers to his questions can be found here, acting as another form of a preview to the game.
Let's start off this week's preview with the overall team statistics from the 2008-2009 NFL season...
OFFENSE
| Category | Vikings | Browns |
| Points Scored | 23.7 (12th) | 14.5 (30th) |
| Passing | 184.8 (25th) | 148.8 (31st) |
| Rushing | 145.8 (5th) | 100.3 (26th) |
| Total Offense (yards) | 330.5 (17th) | 249.1 (31st) |
DEFENSE
| Category | Vikings | Browns |
| Points Scored | 20.8 (13th) | 21.9 (16th) |
| Passing | 215.6 (18th) | 204.6 (14th) |
| Rushing | 76.9 (1st) | 151.9 (28th) |
| Total Defense (yards) | 292.4 (6th) | 356.5 (26th) |
| MINNESOTA VIKINGS |
Position | CLEVELAND BROWNS | ||
| Brett Favre has the experience, but how much of a grasp of the offense does he have? |
 |
QB | |
Brady Quinn, while still unproven, showed regular season mojo twice last season. |
| Adrian Peterson. Chester Taylor also remains an impressive backup. |
 |
RB | Jamal Lewis will have a tough time against the best run defense in football. Can the team incorporate the backs in the passing game? |
|
| Bernard Berrian, even if he can play, won't be 100%. Sidney Rice and Percy Harvin are unproven, meaning TE Visanthe Shiancoe is their No. 1 threat. |
WR |  |
It's not a huge advantage for the Browns, but Braylon Edwards still creates match up problems. Mike Furrey is more experienced than the Vikings receivers. | |
| Let's point out RT Phil Loadholt, a second round pick who will start. I can't comment on his talent, but it'd if there's a spot to attack, it's there. |
|
OL | The left side of the line is strong, but the right side is questionable. Nobody else in the league was dying to have Floyd Womack or John St. Clair start for them. |
|
| Pat Williams, Kevin William, and Jaren Allen. I've mentioned the trio so much you're probably getting sick of it. Here's a new tidbit: they do have another starting DE. His name is Ray Edwards. |
|
DL | Shaun Rogers should start. It's great to have Robaire Smith back, and Kenyon Coleman is more suited for the 3-4 than Corey Williams was. There hands will be full against Minnesota's offensive line. |
|
| E.J. Henderson and Chad Greenway make up a good, young linebacker core for the Vikings who have a lot of freedom due to the wall in front of them. |
|
LB | I'd be scared if we had Andra Davis having to bring down Adrian Peterson. Hopefully Eric Barton proves he's an upgrade, along with David Bowens instead of Willie McGinest. | |
| Antoine Winfield is coming off of a great season. Like the Browns, their depth at safety remains a bit questionable. |
|
DB | |
I love what our starting cornerbacks can do, but I want to see who plays the nickel back. If Berrian plays, it should be as big of an issue. Favre likes to take chances deep; will Abram Elam get burned? |
| Ryan Longwell is solid in field goal kicking, but their return game lacks any real spark. |
ST | |
Could a big day be in store for Joshua Cribbs? If Chris Kluwe keeps outkicking his coverage, then I'd certainly say so. |
|
I don't think it's going to be a pretty first game for Brett Favre. Our defensive backs have a knack for intercepting passes, and based on the receivers I've seen our secondary face in the past, none of the Viking receivers should present a match-up problem. The bread and butter of the Vikings remains their running game though, and Adrian Peterson shouldn't have too many problems setting up Minnesota's offense for a couple of scores.
The gameplan should be the opposite for the Browns. None of our running backs should have an effective game on the ground, but they'll be important in the passing game. I give our passing game a lot more respect than Vikings fans do. Jared Allen is a fantastic pass rusher, but if our new offensive coordinator (Brian Daboll) hasn't designed our gameplan with his abilities in mind, I'll be very discouraged for how the rest of the season will go. The biggest issue for the Vikings could be our X-factor: Joshua Cribbs. If the Browns' defense can hold a few of Peterson's dominant drives to a short field goal, Cribbs is the type of player who can give the Browns a short field to work with on every possession. Even if we have to punt, that benefits the Browns in the field position game until hopefully something right goes our way. Regretfully, since the Vikings are the much better team defensively, I took the Vikings to win 24-17.
FINAL PREDICTION: Minnesota Vikings 24, Cleveland Browns 17. BOOOOOO!!!
This is the official gameday thread for the Cleveland Browns in Week 1 as they do battle with the Minnesota Vikings. All comments regarding the game should be posted in this topic. Enjoy the game, and GO BROWNS!!!

James Davis was in a one car accident Saturday while driving to the team facility in Berea.
He was hospitalized for a while, and released with a head injury.
Eric Wright is also listed as questionable and was limited in practice on Friday.

…and I see that this has already been reported.
Anyway, I think both injuries could be bad for us. I would like someone to be able to spell Lewis, and all 3 of the other RBs are on the injured list.
Does anyone know if Mangini has used the injury list like Belichick does? You know, with Tom Brady having been listed every week for the past 85 years and all? That would make me feel a lot better about so many guys being listed as questionable.

just to let you know were i stand…..but….i dont see any reason why you guys should hang your heads ,i see if you guys stuff the run (hes only one man) and send everyone else at farvre i could see you guys pounding them……your team seems to be very high energy, also you already made the switch to the 3-4, along with rob ryan as d-CORD. dont be surpised if you guys throw a man sized ass whopping on farve and his purple pecker eaters…..

QB & WR Comparisons
A quick note on the comparisons above-
1) I think you’re overevaluating the time Brett Favre requires to be acquainted with the offense- it is nearly identical to the one he ran in Green Bay. He is already intimately familiar with the system; where I think you’ll find trouble is with his chemistry with the receivers and his stamina.
2) While I agree that generally, the Viking’s WR’s are weaker than than Cleveland’s, don’t underestimate Percy Harvin. He is electric.
by tmptplayer on Sep 13, 2009 7:32 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I am sure Chris would be willing to give Harvin more credit….once he has played in an actual NFL game or 2.

Harvin is fast, there is no doubting that.
But the “West Coast offense” (which never really looked like a “true” WCO under Favre) relies heavily on timing. Knowing exactly where your WR will be and where he wants the ball when you plant that back foot is important. Timing with the receivers is important.
I’m hoping Favre is used to high schoolers and not the likes of Berrian and Rice.

Why? The ball is placed where the penalty happened. I think the rule is entirely correct right there.
by Fundamentals on Sep 13, 2009 2:02 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
The contact clearly caused him to go OB. He shouldn’t have to re-establish inboundsness because soneone else’s contact took him OB.

because it advantages the defense to push the guy out of bounds if he’s beat and the ball is about to arrive

As opposed to pass interference when he could just has easily simply tackled the WR and have it placed at the point of penalty.

One foot to establish in-boundsness should be enough.

he got a lot of feet in bounds after that one.
by rufio on Sep 13, 2009 2:05 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Also because by pushing a guy out of bounds you are changing their trajectory in such a way that they may not immediately be able to get back in bounds – so some accommodation for the offensive player, like allowing one-foot in bounds, would make sense.

We got lucky – I think Rice had both feet in bounds.

Yes, very weak. I agree he didn’t play the ball, but the contact was 100% Rice’s doing.

To elaborate – the wide receiver initiated the contact.

Yeah, someone want to explain what the penalty was for? Are you not allowed to swipe the ball now?
by Dawgger on Sep 13, 2009 2:49 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
It might have been called not due to contact, but because he shielded the receivers eyes without looking at the ball.

We got plenty, just in the middle. Whoever was on the outside there did an OK job, but you aren’t going to stand up your blocker, the FB, and Peterson all by yourself. Someone else needs to get there.

Long INT Return by the Chiefs. Their offense has done nothing. One special teams TD on a blocked punt and now the short field position on the INT. But go Chiefs.

You’d figure without their starting QB they wouldn’t be able to do a whole lot. Especially in the 1st year of a new regime.
by rufio on Sep 13, 2009 2:55 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Oh, I’m not saying I expected them to do a thing. Just that they’re winning by taking advantage of mistakes, not creating points. Which I guess is a way to beat the Ravens.

Eek, wasted two great runs for a potential great set up to a deep ball. Even if Edwards runs on the outside, that’s a jump ball at best.

Several people:
Braylon, for making another move to the inside after the ball was in the air.
Quinn, for not seeing that the throw should have been to the inside, and throwing the ball anyway.
The pass pro, for making Quinn throw just that 1/2 second before he should have. Just a fraction of a second more and that’s a big play for us.
