This is why I am highly optimistic about the Browns going forward (not next week, but from then on [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ) DA hasn't suddenly turned into a good QB but with protection and time hes not turning into a pumpkin. Giving up 1 sack in three games is excellent, and I am willing to give the line the benefit of the doubt for the pittsburgh game as their RG and LG missed significant time in the preseason and they had new players at 4 positions and had no time to work together. Better news to come, Tucker is back for next week from his suspension and should be healthy (he was the best lineman when they were bad).
This is just a great comparison year for how bad a QB can look with a poor line, and how much improved a QB can look with a solid line. I also have to qualms about putting Quinn in there behind this line.
