Cleveland Browns: 5 Opposing players the Browns must account for
By Tyler Hise
4. Cameron Jordan, Defensive End, New Orleans Saints (Week 2)
New Orleans Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan is a special talent coming off the edge. It will be even more of a challenge being early in the season and the Browns trying to find a mainstay at left tackle as well as some of the new faces in Cleveland learning the offense.

They will have to learn quick to be able to game plan for Jordan and keep the Saints’ high powered offense off of the field. The only good news in this is that the Browns hope to have their right tackle spot figured out with Chris Hubbard, and Jordan does usually line up opposite that side.
3. Von Miller, Outside Linebacker, Denver Broncos (Week 15)
I’m sure Denver is circled on every team’s schedule with an emphasis on edge rusher Von Miller. He is one of the league’s premier pass rushers and requires extra attention every week.
Cleveland should have their offensive line figured out by week 15, but that alone won’t be enough to stop Miller. Hopefully after seeing J.J. Watt of the Houston Texans and Julius Peppers of the Carolina Panthers the two weeks in a row prior to meeting with Von Miller, the Browns will have some idea of what they might see. Those other players are good, but no one gets after the passer like Miller.
