i simmed the preseason but it looks like I have some great young talent. Drovin tore it up in the preseason and Steven-Baker had a good one too. Receiver Davasia Nobles had 9 rec for 144 yards and a TD.

Game Preview
After a long summer, the NFL is finally back in action with the season's opening weekend taking place. In this game, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will travel North to face the Cleveland Browns.
The Bucs have most of the same players from their 5-11 season last year in which they finished 2nd to last in the NFC South. Still, last year was a rebuilding last year in which they played young players at most of the skill positions. Now, those players are a year older and this team could surprise some people.
Cleveland was the team that surprised people last year. They went 11-5 and lost to Denver in the AFC Divisional round of the playoffs. They have improved talent wise with a strong draft. Their defense should be ferocious once again this year and hopefully their offense will continue to play like they did at the end of the season.
Unfortunately for Cleveland, who has one of if not the hardest schedules in the league, this will be one of their easier games of the season and it is very early in the season. In fact, their two easiest games come in the first three weeks with a Monday Night Game against Buffalo.
The old cliche is good teams win the games they are supposed to and Cleveland is a good team. They should roll in this one.
Early Prediction: Browns win 31-14

I should, and holy fuck i have a tough schedule. Colts, Patriots, Steelers in back to back to back games and after the Buffalo game there are no easy wins.

In his first game, rookie receiver Davasia Nobles had 79 yards and 2 touchdowns.
-----------
Cleveland couldn't have picked a better outcome for their season opener. All of their phases were clicking and it was a beautiful thing to watch.
Rookie quarterback Khris Steven-Baker threw two touchdowns, both to fellow rookie Davasia Nobles, and had 124 yards. The running back stable all had decent days in a running back by committee look.
Defensively is where the real play came in. Rookie Keron Drovin was second on the team in tackles with 8. The defense held Tampa Bay to just ten points and 222 yards. They also forced three turnovers, all on interceptions. Abram Elam, the free safety, had two of them while linebacker Jason Trusnik had the other.
This was a good game to set up next week's showdown with the Steelers.
Hmmm...I don't know. It depens on how much work it is for you. If it will slow you down and make you lose interest then don't do it. Otherwise sure But I don't think it adds that much to it. Maybe go to www.daylife.com . You can get some good pictures there of players in action..
