DOLPHINS vs BROWNS Watch Live Stream Online & Listen: Week 1 Live Coverage from Cleveland
The Miami Dolphins will tussle with the Cleveland Browns today at 1:00 p.m. in both teams' season opener at Paul Brown Stadium in Cleveland today. The game can be live streamed here; Dolphins fans can listen to the game on WQAM 560 while Browns fans can tune in to WONE 97.5.
Both Miami and Cleveland are teams that have struggled for quite some time and enter the 2013 season with some buzz. The Dolphins are banking on development from second-year quarterback Ryan Tannehill. They are also counting on free agent acquisition Mike Wallace, one of the fastest receivers in the NFL, to allow him to progress as a passer and join the ranks of Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III and Russell Wilson who were all taken in the same draft class.
Tannehill told ESPN that he expects the same progression from himself as the organization does. "I see things much quicker than I did," Tannehill said. "It's my second year and I can't have the same growing pains than I did in the first year. You have to be able to make the plays when they're there."
The Browns are also hoping for development from their own second-year quarterback Brandon Weeden. Unlike what the Dolphins did for Tannehill, Cleveland hasn't brought in a big-time weapon in the receiving corps. In fact, Weeden's best receiver, Josh Gordon, is suspended for this game and next week's because of a drug program violation.
That means the Browns will lean heavily on running back Trent Richardson in his second season to perform at a level approaching what Adrian Peterson did for the Vikings in 2012. They also will rely on their defense, which many believe is one of the NFL's more underrated units.
The Dolphins' injury report lists Will Davis (CB), Jamar Taylor (CB), and Pat Devlin (QB) as out, Dimitri Patterson (CB) as questionable, Jonathan Freeney (LB), Dion Jordan (DE), Vaughn Martin (DE), Dion Sims (TE), and Jimmy Wilson (S) as probable.
The Browns' injury report has Barkevious Mingo (LB), Shaun Lauvao (G) as out, Ahtyba Rubin (DL), Buster Skrine (DB) as questionable, Davone Bess (WR), Desmond Bryant (DL) Jordan Cameron (TE) Eric Martin (LB), Chris Owens (CB) and Jabaal Sheard (DB) as probable.
