Tale of the Tape - Browns vs Patriots
-
After BB lost his starting QB Matt Jones.. Bill's Patriots defense has shown some new life in Chowder town.. Something we're still waiting on in Cleveland ?..
The Browns, last match-up in New England?
Stef got out coached by the defensive coaching wizard.. but, we had no Chunt/ and DJ was our starting RB.. Not this time ! But we might still have to deal with Pats. RB Rhamondre (joystick) Stevenson, if RB Damien Harris does not play.
After reviewing the last 2 Patriots games..
1) WR Amari Cooper will be erased from JB's 1st target on passing downs.. Might be a good thing? We need other WR/TE weapons to show the hell up...
2) Get use to seeing 7/8 in the box to stop the run first vs New England.. But the Lions never scored last week, because their LB/DB's have speed in coverage to clogged up everything underneath..Brissett won't see the coverage pre-snap..
This we be a good chess match week to grade Stef with all his (AB's so called) weapons..

1st bold - there was evidence of just this against the Chargers and their defensive calls against certain personnel alignments. When the coaches moved Coop to the slot to try and draw a more favorable assignment, the Bolts responded with showing 2 high pre-snap, then rolling into a cover 1 where they rat safety and nickel corner would attempt to bracket AC. The corner played an outside shade while the safety would stem top-down taking away inside and horitzonal. The problem being that, because of our QB's hit and miss nature of throwing outside and towards the numbers, dialing up throws negative breaking routes isn't something you can just take for granted. So as the Browns coaches attempt to find as many combinations as possible for our QB that invite positive (in) breaking throws, the Pats defensive staff are going to leverage to help make those routes hell. It's not at all a good thing because Brissett needs quite a bit of time to find his #2. I can only hope his familiarity with the Pats defensive measures can give him some help.
2nd bold - been seeing it all year.
3rd bold - Not really. It's my hope the offense shows a bit more consistency and effectiveness than last seasons matchup. But that has a lot to do with having Chubb and Hunt in this game. I have little doubt the Brownies score under their season average, we don't have the passing game to consistency attack the Pats secondary in the ways they're weakest. Our defense is even weaker in the middle compared to last year, so I would suspect this game playing out pretty tight and low(er) scoring.
edit: I'm watching the Pats - Lions game right now. As expected, the NE defense is doing a great job against the Lions outside zone calls.

Talent wise, this will be the 6th game.in a row that the Browns have/had a good chance of winning.
Discipline and our overall game management give me the heeboe jeebies.
If it is close, I think Beliclit has an edge over whoever is pulling ShitMyPantski's strings.
I think the Depo squad vs coaching staff is about to boil over. Lots of rumbling now leaking about coaches not getting to call shots on personnel and more.

QB Mac Jones is on the plane to Cleveland. (Questionable)
Rookie Bailey Zappe would start if Jones doesn't play Sunday when the Patriots (2-3) visit the Browns (2-3). The Patriots also have veteran Garrett Gilbert on the practice squad and can elevate him for the game for depth.
Injured running back Damien Harris (hamstring) also hasn't been ruled out.
The Patriots declared Saturday afternoon that two injured players would be out for the game -- starting cornerback Jonathan Jones and No. 3 receiver Nelson Agholor -- but it was notable that Jones wasn't part of the club's announcement.
OLB Josh Oche/ DE J. Clowney/ CB D.Ward were labeled as OUT on Friday..
CB Greedy Williams was activated from injured reserve. G.Williams can play Sunday.
The Browns have also signed LB Dakota Allen to the active roster from the practice squad.
In addition, the team has elevated CB Herb Miller and WR Chester Rogers from the practice squad. Newly added DT Tyeler Davison remains not elevated from PS
#Browns
are not activating new LB Deion Jones from IR for Sunday's game vs. Patriots. ?

I might watch this game live. Only because I'm wearing a big grey boot - broken toe. dammit.
Obviously to all, buttichek knows that Chubb is awesome and he'll work on stopxx, I mean, limiting him to as few yards near 90-100 as possible.
I think this game comes down to Devin McCourty, Kyle Duggar, and Jabril Peppers - if they can frustrate Brissett and nab some interceptions etc, that could be the way they win.
For the pats, if mac jones and damien harris, rb, can't go - Zappe can flat out play, too -
and at rb, Rhomondre Stevenson (?) is a serious big bruiser.
In a game of chess, the Browns may end up playing checkers and buttichek may look "brilliant" again.
Should be pretty interesting.
How about that GUARDINDIANS WIN LAST NIGHT EH ????? WOW !

Poopies!! And no Clowney against the run. Here we go again. STAMPEED!
^ I'd call this a win ^
Saw what was expected on a bad tech/coached defense..
Corners, jersey tugging.. face guarding..and nothing close to a pick on a rookie QB
Jacob Phillips, No arm wrap tackling.. just duck your head & shoulders and watch them bounce
Taki, chooses to push TE's out of bounds instead of covering them
Saw a team that needed their bye week this week.. (than maybe some staff changes/other than OL/RB)

Let us not forget a certain Grant Delpit on this, too.
It's going to be interesting what this defense looks like next year when the new defensive coaching staff gets a look at the roster.

lol....just what I was thinking at the time.
My perception was that he was well aware of his own inability to cover the TE. This combination of self-awareness and last ditch effort was one of the very few highlights of the game to me.

...yeah, I guess maybe it was a heads up play. Perhaps that should be our defensive strategy in the end zone. Just take the receivers and shove them out of bounds. "HA! WHAT ARE YA GONNA DO NOW RECEIVER?"

I wish we could; but he's shown up in more of my nightmares than Freddie Krueger and Michael Meyers combined.
