Difference with ‘84 and now is depth.  Especially on defense.  Which OF ignores.  Defensive line had Big Hands Johnson, Kelcher, Michael Carter , Stuckey.  Backup TE was Earl Cooper.  Fuller backup safety.  Just a few examples.  Again, no cap.  But the depth of that team was remarkable. Especially d line.  They came at teams in waves. Ask Marino….

If memory serves, those were in the pre-salary cap days...when Eddie D. could go out and get what he wanted, forget about the cost.

The Browns (2-2) are five point underdogs. Classic trap game...49ers are coming off of a big Sunday night win, Browns had a bye week last week, so they've had two weeks to rest and prepare, and the game is 2,500 miles away with a kickoff at 10 a.m. body clock time. Cleveland's OL is banged up, and Deshaun Watson's shoulder is injured. Their last game was a 28-3 loss to the Ravens. Niners have averaged around 33 ppg, but the O/U is currently just 42 points, so Vegas is projecting a 23-18 game. Seems odd, none of the Niners' games have been that close, and they've only given up that many points once.
