Thanks for posting.

I have to wonder if this is because Davis has been injured...because Steinbach is also listed as a backup, and so is Roye, and both are starters. So I'm going to reserve judgment for now.

As a Williams owner I hope it stays this way

Whats the story with the rest of the Browns Linebackers?

Leon Williams is now starting and so is Wimbley. Is Peek going to be a huge sleeper or is McGinist going to regain his starting position when healthy?

This group has me totally confused?!?

I currently have Wimbley, but don't even know if he is worth it or not... Someone help me understand this group....

ROLB Kamerion Wimbley -- Looks quicker than 07. Seems like a lock for 10+ sacks. LB2 upside in standard leagues.RILB D'Qwell Jackson -- Also looks better than last year. Has been playing well in the nickel.LILB Andra Davis -- Still no official word on severity of ankle injury yet. Didn't play in the nickel in Week P1.LOLB Antwan Peek -- Has looked very good this preseason in all phases. No lock that McGinest takes snaps by midseason.ILB Leon Williams -- Played over Davis in the nickel. Looked good in the base defense with Davis out last year and this preseason. Not out of the question that he'll stay in the starting lineup when Davis returns from injury. In standard IDP situations, he holds the best value of the bunch today.

LINEBACKERS: Starters — WLB Kamerion Wimbley, MLB Andra Davis, ILB D'Qwell Jackson, SLB Antwan Peek. Backups — OLB Chaun Thompson, SLB Willie McGinest, MLB Leon Williams, ILB Mason Unck, OLB Jason Short, ILB Kris Griffin.

Wimbley and Peek pose a dual threat as pass rushers. An ankle injury prevented Davis from playing in the last three preseason games. The Browns need him in the lineup because Williams was spotty replacing him in preseason. Jackson was tentative at times last year but looked more sure of himself in the preseason. McGinest will miss the first three games recovering from back surgery. Short, Griffin and Unck are key special teams players.

I thought this email was incorrect when posted. Does anyone know if Williams has replaced Davis?

Welcome to FBG. Leon Williams has played ahead of Andra Davis in the nickel package since the first preseason week. With the Bengals usually running three WR sets more often than not, Davis would've been lucky to play 40% of the snaps this week. Since the game was a shootout with the Bengals behind most of the way, Davis was hardly on the field at all.Davis is still ahead of Williams on the depth chart in the base defense, but many of us around here believe it's only a matter of time before Williams is an every down defender.

Since I just picked up Andra Davis, here is a snippet from the Cleveland Browns website again pertaining to Andra Davis:

AND ONE MORE THING...: Inside linebacker Andra Davis, who has led the Browns in tackles in three of the last four years, including last season, is No. 1 again in 2007 with 17 total tackles, 10 solos and one tackle for a loss. Fellow inside linebacker D'Qwell Jackson is next with 15. The problem is that cornerback Eric Wright is third with 11. When someone in your secondary is making that number of tackles, it means that too many people in the front seven are struggling

He's about on the same pace as Mike Peterson I believe.

Cleveland Browns >> Total Offensive Plays Faced >>> 212 (most overall)Jacksonville Jaguars >> Total Offensive Plays Faced >>> 163 (2nd fewest overall)Cleveland Browns >> Rushing Attempts per Game >>> 36.3Jacksonville Jaguars >> Rushing Attempts per Game >>> 30.7Andra Davis (all boxscore plays = 13) >>> 6% of teamMike Peterson (all boxscore plays = 20) >>> 12% of teamThat 12% number isn't anything special. Most stud MLB finish above 17% over the course of a full season. But three down talented Peterson >>> two down replacement level Davis.

I agree that Peterson is a better talent than Davis. Does anyone know why Davis has been "struggling" lately? Didn't he used to be a promising stud at the LB spot?I wonder what his contract situation is? Could he land somewhere else soon as a MLB in a 4-3?

Davis signed a five year extension (through 2010) after the 2005 season. Leon Williams has replaced him in the nickel package all year long and has taken a fair amount of his opportunity.
