Keeping left tackle Ross Verba healthy is more important now than ever.

No crap. Joaquin Gonzalez, who served rather admirably when pressed to start at left tackle late last season, is down for about 4 weeks. And along with that, we should be on Orange Alert -- any injury to Ross Verba would put the season on the brink before it even starts.

And YET AGAIN, Browns fans have to hope twine and bailing wire hold together the offensive line. I am 30 years old and for as long as I can remember this has been the case. Let the football gods look favorably on our weakspot this season, that we may get through the season with our anchors intact....
