2018 Cleveland Browns Forecast
CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Browns open the 2018 season Sunday against the Steelers at FirstEnergy Stadium. After changes in front-office, coaching staff and training, the Browns are hoping to put an end to last season's 0-16 final, not to mention the 1-31 series, which will last two years.
How will they do it? Will they're doing it? And if so, who will show the way?
Glad you asked.
The Cleveland.com Browns cover team has some answers. Are they the right answers? Who knows? Predicting the future is a delicate matter. But we are ready to try.
Friday: Predict the record of Browns 2018.
Saturday: Predict the attacking MVP of the Browns.
The prediction of today: Who will be the defensive MVP of the Browns?

Mary Kay Cabot: Myles Garrett
If Garrett stays healthy and up to his potential, he should have at least 13 sacks this season. S & # 0; he has scored seven goals in 11 games as a rookie with a persistent ankle sprain, he should be double-digit without problems this year. In addition, with Denzel Ward and other improvements in high school, the QB will have to keep the ball a fraction of a second longer, which will give Garrett more time to pounce.
Garrett will also benefit from Emmanuel Ogbah and Jamie Collins in good health. He is looking forward to his first shot at Ben Roethlisberger on Sunday and could kick off the season with several sacks.

All this defense is doing well in 2018 will come from Garrett's presence. His ability to completely crush one side of an offensive line himself will pave the way for Emmanuel Ogbah on the other side and the players inside the line.
His ability to create pressure will make life easier in high school and mean that he will not have to cover nearly as long. This will open up more opportunities for interception.
Garrett might not end up with the best numbers – again, he could do it – but look carefully and you'll see almost everything going on because of Garrett.
