Cleveland Browns have offensive line issues? WHAT A SURPRISE

Well, last season, the Cleveland Browns acquired LeCharles Bentley, only to see him going down without taking a snap. Okay, I exaggerate, he took 1 snap. However, the Browns' line has been fixed up and there are no problems this season! Joe Thomas will be a solid left tackle, check. Hank Fraley played pretty well in the Center position so we're fine there until Bentley comes back, check. Seth McKinney looks to be competent at right guard, and if not Sowells or Friedman are there to take over, check. Ryan Tucker's been out left tackle for a while and we're good, check, and Eric Steinbach was one of our big free agent signings, check. See, all's well and good.
Wait, Ryan Tucker's suspended 4 games for doping? Aw, come on Tucker, that motivational speaker who sid you guys were so bad you could use some steroids was being sarcastic. Come on, Ryan. PLEASE don't tell me that that was the treatment for whatever disorder you had when you bailed last season...
Okay, that's not a big deal, we got 4 of 5 good, that's better than last time. Huh, wait a minute, Steinbach's injured now? He'll miss most of the preseason? Well he's one of those that needed ot be on the field,to mesh with the team. It's not serious thankfully, but we're not exactly deep at guard. I mean, I'm the fifth string guard for the Browns, little known fact. I don't even have to go anywhere. I don't get paid either, so I would really not want to have to show up. (Note, of course I'm not on the team.)
Well, how good will they be? I mean, in reality this situation is a little bit better than last year. But last year our line was abslutely horrendous. I'll be watching the game, which is about to start now, in hopes that the line looks capable. And with that I'm off, tonight I'll give my report on how well/poor the Brownies look.
Until next time, I probably could get an OL position for the Browns if I were taller...
