Simmons will be lined up right over Barber,it is going to be a hell of a test for the big man

Absolutely! Barber has been surprising a lot of people since the Senior Bowl practices; so if anyone is up for the challenge - it would be him.

The Barber of C-ville. Good nickname or lame?

Timing is everything; so if he continues to play well as a rookie - that's a keeper!

KC had a hell of a day. But, man, what could have been a monster Sunday.

The #Titans tried to emulate some of the Cover 2 looks the #ravensflock found success in the week before. But the #Browns coaches had some answers ready in advance.

There was a lingering concern I had from the Week 4 win. Which was 'what happens when the Steelers DEF takes away what worked the 1st time?'. Well, didn't take but 1 play to see that was their intent.

So what in your opinion is the reason for the Browns slow starts but fast finishes @tiamat63?

Is there something to the late game drives that Watson and Sanders do well?

Multiple reasons:

QB's having most of the game to help ID calls and coverage rotations that they otherwise struggle with to start.
Coaches being able to sort in their bag what defensive calls they've been facing the most, in-game. Helps them to reach for structures with built in answers that our QB's need.
Tempo and pacing helps cut down on the amount of defensive variance in calls
Sense of urgency actually getting people focused. A degree of 'rising' to the occasion.

The QB room is still subpar, either way you slice it.
