Tale of the Tape - Browns @ Panthers

Greedy to the IR. Makes drafting a guy like Emmerson very important.
on special teams. He doesn't have cb speed. Too bad about Greedy.

5.80Average backup or special-teamerI dunno. He showcased well against SEC WRs last season. He had some moments in preseason too.
I’m partial to bigger corners that will hold up in November and December when we see teams like Pitt and Baltimore that one to get physical

This is of course, bad news. But when I checked the Browns site I saw that it's a hamstring and thought, wow, that's a pretty bad hamstring! But then I read that players can come off IR in as little as 4 weeks.
They brought up Herm Miller from the PS. Hopefully they can keep him on the bench. I wasn't overly impressed with him in preseason. But, I really didn't get to see a whole lot of the preseason games.

Greedy to IR makes me think his second contract offer will be pretty low if at all.. simply not enough games played. But we did know this going in.. Decent value at the pick but availability is the best ability and all that. Can't believe this is his contract year already

I don't think Joe Woods cares much about unofficial depth charts.. AJ Green/Emerson vs Greedy Williams seems fairly equal imo.. We bring up PS Herb Miller.. which gives Woods a 2 year NB/Slot defender to back-up/ or could kick Newsome II outside to a match-up of Woods choice.. PS CB Shawn Jolly was their only option left.. CB Levert Hill was released from IR with a injury settlement early this week..
edit--I'm packed & ready to go.. 4 hour drive to Charlotte hotel by 4pm Saturday.. rain or shine !

We bring up PS Herb Miller..
If Miller is anywhere on the field, I would literally draw up every play I have targeting him on every single down. He just does not look good at all.

I hear the NFL Network talking heads raving about this explosive Carolina offense…I don’t see it week 1.
The smart game plan is rolling away from Myles, short quick pass game to CMC, maybe catching us off guard up the middle on pass downs with running plays and isolating their TE against our backer not named JOK
What most non-local media whiffs on? is not talking enough about the Panthers overall #2 ranked defense of last season..
The Panthers lead the league in net passing yards per game (173.7 yards), they're fourth in the league in third-down percentage allowed (33.1 percent) and tied for fourth in the league in sacks (27).
But they're still somewhat susceptible to teams who want to body them up and run the ball, the way the Cowboys and Vikings did. They rank 12th in the league in rushing yards allowed per game (107.0), numbers that got out of whack in a few games. The Cowboys ran for 245, the Vikings 198, and the Patriots 151. In half of their games, they've held opponents to fewer than 82 rushing yards, and under 50 three times.
DT Derrick Brown left the last preseason game with an oblique injury << good news if* he's limited.. the only major Panthers loss on a good defense from last season? Haason Reddick is now a Eagle
The Browns defense will need good LB/DB play Sunday with McCaffrey catching Baker's underneath dink passes..I'd almost prefer Woods shading a quicker Jacob Phillips/JOK combo to shade McCaffery over the slower lateral movements of A. Walker jr... I'd even bang Emerson into McCaffery if he splits outside.. Our Safety group better come ready to swarm tackle
Sure hasn't looked that good on film in the pre-season.
Agreed..He does not look ready for the outside corner bend that 95 brings.. call the holds zebras..

Hopefully Baker throws those his typical 100mph lol

Oh I agree ! but,
I'm not so sure they wood Inactivate Herb Miller as our only emergency 5th cornerback left for this game? we can hope he's inactive
If Woods III (limited/hammy) becomes inactive? I'd question why WR/KR Mike Harley was not brought up from PS instead of H. Miller..
That list should start with QB Kellen Mond on it.. the other 6 names might get interesting..

Cool. I love Nick Chubb. I hope he's able to stay healthy all year and gets to lead the league in rushing. He's the type of guy that deserves that honor at least once in his life.

this is funny and cool at the same time:
https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/2022/09/07/panthers-qb-baker-mayfield-revenge-browns/
"So if Mayfield isn’t looking for revenge this weekend, then what is he looking for . . . ?
“A big hug from Nicholas Chubb would be a really, really good gift,” he said when asked if he’s excited to embrace his old teammates on the field. “Just to hear him say a word would also be nice . . . the mime that he is.”
Perhaps Mayfield (and Chubb) will save their words for when the game actually starts."

It's going to be a great game to watch - so tough to predict, so many questions.
Offhand, I think the Brown's running game won't dominate the game at all. The browns passing game -
who knows - the Panthers' secondary is going to be greatly improved, I think, and the qb facing them isn't known for his accuracy. With new wr's, who knows how that will go.
With the Panther's oline greatly improved, qb greatly improved, with TE's being very, very solid blockers, with
McCaffery healthy sp?, I think it's offense - Panthers advantage, regardless of the outstanding duo at rb.
Defense - the Panthers are very much improved, and they were excellent early on last year vs the run, etc.
Defense - don't know advantage for browns or not. It's complicated. Might be a great game for the browns defense...or not.
The biggest problem I predict is Stefanski for the browns.
The biggest advantage for the Panthers is improvements on offense....
and more importantly, Ben McAdoo. OC. he is far more brilliant that Stefanski, with far more experience.
without turnovers dooming one team or the other, I think the Panthers win based on players added and returning from injury, improved defense, and then McAdoo, I think, makes the major difference for the win.
Just my guess - with qb accuracy a definite advantage with Baker healthy - and a more attacking offense, unpredictable offense by Carolina - it's going to be a fascinating game to watch. Carolina wins. I think. Who knows.
It's going to be a great game to watch - so tough to predict, so many questions.
I think it's going to be a terrible game to watch if the last weather forecast I saw is accurate. "Rain, with a good chance of heavy rain." Yeah...no thank you. That means ugly, awful, slippery and up for anyone to take. But you know what. Who cares?! It's football season!

The Good:
Special teams, the Browns IMO have one of the best kickers in the league. While at the same time the Panthers kicker suffered an injury last week so they had to bring in a kicker off the street. The Browns have THE BEST RB’s in the league. Myles Garrett will be going against a rookie LT so I’m expecting a big game from him. Also, Carolina has two undersized Defensive Ends that I’m hoping the Browns can contain.
The Bad:
Our interior defensive line is a liability that I thought AB was going to address in the off season, but we’re going to limp along with who we have.
The Ugly:
Our WR group, which is ranked 24th in the league by PFF. Let’s face it…they’re not scaring anyone this year.

I was mostly ok with the DL. We shut down the rush almost all day and even got some interior pressure on occasion, including deflections. They did...ok.
Our WRs were good enough, and we need to remember they can't throw the ball to themselves. If Brissett hits Cooper on that open first quarter pass...the game is over much earlier in the second half. DPJ was incredible, catching basically everything. That wheel route Brissett missed to Hunt was an absolute dagger to the heart as well. Jacoby missed every big time throw down the field and it almost killed us. Bad teams kick FG's, playoff teams score touchdowns.
The "ugly" to me is Brissett not ever throwing the ball to Njoku. Why did we pay him? One target for 7 yards? Jesus. Brissett missed him wide open on 3rd down inside the red zone. The pass that Bryant dropped. Would Njoku have gotten the first. Ehhh...tough to say, but he didn't even LOOK at him.

I couldn’t figure out why the Browns paid top tier money to a TE we rarely use?
Also, Brissett left at least 2 TD passes on the field.
Of course we have the Jacoby groupies that will make excuses for him, but it doesn’t matter who’s under center, I’m going to call out shit play regardless of who it is.
