Tale of the Tape - Browns @ Chargers
-
…......... Rush / G Pass / G Sack Run D / G Pass D / G Sack Give/Take Browns 177 1st 234 26th 26th 67 3rd 184 3rd 2nd -1 Chargers 108 16th 295 8th 6th 140 29th 193 5th 13th +3 And so we have the #1 rushing team against the #29 rush defense. With our pass offense being suspect, with a somewhat injured Baker, we'll need to be able to live up to those run stats. We'll want to shorten the game with long drives and try to keep the Chargers pass offense off the field.
Our D stats are still skewed by the Bears game, but there's no denying that the D has played well over the past 2 games. The Chargers are pretty well balanced on offense. We'll need another good game from the D.
This is a game with playoff implications. The Chargers might be in the mix for a wild card spot. And so could we. It would be awfully nice if we had the head to head tie breaker in our pocket.

Might be in the mix? They might win it all. They are very good with few weaknesses. Their rush defense hasn't really been that much of a factor.

Boy if there was a game that Baker would be amped up for - this is it. After Last weeks performance and taking on All World Justin Herbert (stock has never been higher. He’s a good one no doubt.) he Looks vulnerable like most QBs with Defensive Lineman in his face.
I’d love to see a W. Lots of arrogance from the Charger fans. We will see if their run defense is fixed like they say it is. Apparently we haven’t played anybody or proven anything. They expect to outnumber Browns fan by a large margin. Last game out here against the Browns it was 50/50 at Qualcomm.

I agree, but for a D, it is much easier to shut down a run game than it is to shut down a passing game, so if the Chargers decided to shut down the run, they can do so. If i really though the opposing QB was gimped, I'd run a bear defense and just swamp the LOS and smother the runner or then just swamp the QB with pressure and at minimum hit him on nearly every play. Just tell the defensive players to play like a bunch of pissed off fire ants.
Some of you northern friends might not know what I am talking about, and that is a good thing, but if you have ever stepped on a fire ant sand hill, you know exactly what I am talking about. It's not a good thing.

...and, I agree. That's why I think that early on, we have to show that we can indeed pass the ball. Get those safeties out of the box.

Gonna rub some dirt on it and give it another go.

Wills is officially OUT. Probably need to keep some help on the left side in pass pro if they decide to put Bosa over there.

We were probably going to do that anyway. I see a lot of two TE sets with a late TE release. Look for the TE's to have a busy day in the passing game. Hooper might get 12 targets.

When l rewatched the Vikings game l tried to keep an eye on if there was an attempt to help out Hudson on the edge, and a fair amount of time there was. I noted some TE help, or the RB would shade his way if staying in to protect. I even recall one play where Teller pulled and went his way and effectively blocked the edge for that one play.
But l do recall one play they left him alone on the island and he didn’t fare so well. Speed rushers are going to be an issue for Hudson until he can figure out when and how to engage them.
Edit: A gimpy Wills was having issues with speed rushers too, so l’m not sure this is as monumental a change as we think. We might actually come out ahead in some regards as Hudson looked ok on running plays.

It's a fair point. As much as I'm worried about the tangible impact of his loss, I'm also concerned about the mental effect it generates. When Baker doesn't trust his protection he doesn't process information as well. He misses people, even when they're in front of him. He rushes and presses and we don't want that.
So many people keep talking about how the Bolts can't stop the run and we're simply going to run it down their throat. I don't see that happening, not right away. When a team spends all week focusing on stopping something, they're going to be ready, and they're going to be ready because they don't believe Baker can beat them. Bolts will have 8 even 9 in the box at times and will basically tell Stefanski to let it rip down field and we're not changing until he hits a few and makes us pay.
We're going to run the ball, but I'd be very surprised if we didn't have to loosen things up with the pass first. We'll see that TE screen several times, swings to the RBs, Hunt screen, Felton draw play, and then don't shocked if we run it on 3rd and 6-7 a few times.

Need sky judge, like, todayQuote Tweet Adam Johnson@AdamJ112001· Oct 10What if I told you both of these plays resulted in penalties against the #Browns
? @NFL refs are a joke.
I understand missing a call, but calling a penalty on the wrong team is unacceptable. -
