At this point that's what I'm inclined to believe. These guys have not impressed me whatsoever.
I truly believed that they would probably struggle in pass pro, but with the size and talent we've got up front, I did not expect to see them be so terrible opening holes and pushing DL off the ball.
It's the real deal at this point, not going through the vanilla motions of the preseason. Honestly, I've thought the young guys have looked fairly legit but the one strength of Cleveland's D-line is plugging up the run. Sans Garrett, they are historically terrible pass rushers. [Reply]
