The Offensive Line
-
I loved the offensive line play. I read where Baker, last week, held onto the ball longer than any other qb
in the NFL. 2.7 seconds, something like that. Not surprising, since it was their first outing with their new offense.
The second game, they ironed out the wrinkles, and rolled, and sure, the ratbirds have a highly talented defense without
injuries all over their secondary.
Chubb and Hunt - the oline was inspired and having fun like crazy. They were having fun playing the game, not thinking about their assignments first.
My guess? is, the previous offense exposed the oline's weaknesses, the oline is fixed, and this offense shows
the talents strengths instead.

Covered it Well ^^ Good post.. a dominate "I'm going to run this ball & you can't stop us" OL can win you games.. The pulling blocking schemes looked great.. even the pulling backsides got blocked.. Kudos Bill Callahan..

Bengals were missing both starting DT's Atkins and Daniels.. let's play another team's starters before declaring anything fixed.
Yes, good, but one game does not a trend make. They did not play like this last week.

It looked good in the first game too. At least pass protection was always on point in front of Ravens' defense.
Playing to our strengths should be a must: OBJ and Landry can be great, but Baker is not one of our strengths, so FIRST run the ball and THEN spread the ball to all receivers; tight ends included. -

Wyatt Tellar has been out of CONTROL balling out. You notice those right side runs? Good lord. He planted somebody like a cheap shrub and then told his mama about it. I can't believe the transformation. He was always super strong, but now he's USING it. It's crazy.

Lol never have heard that analogy before. Dude does look like a beast

It's not so much that Teller has been mauling people, he's been rather technical in using his leverage, balance AND strength to beat bigger dline. His work on Pierce in the Baltimore game was evidence of that. Kid looks right at home in this offense so far.

Did anyone mention how amazing Hubbard was? Conklin couldn't play and Hubbs came in and was brilliant.

Let's just wait and see how they stack up against a unit with five (5) first-round picks next week vs Washington -- at least it's "at home"
Chase Young (2020), DaRon Payne (2018), Jonathan Allen (2017), Montez Sweat (2019), Kerrigan (2011)
Washington had 8 sacks vs Philly in week 1. Even given Eagles injuries, that's absurd.. That game also made me question Wentz's status as elite

PFF's takeaway #3 of 5...
Cleveland’s offensive line paved holes for Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt, and the duo took full advantage
Cleveland’s offensive line, on the other hand, was pretty dang good on the night. The unit didn’t see a lot of true dropback scenarios, but it held its own in pass protection. In the run game, the group deserves as much credit as running backs Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt are getting.
Chubb and Hunt combined to produce an 84.5 rushing grade, nine carries resulting in a 10-plus yard gain and 0.21 EPA per rush play. While it’s easy to point to Chubb and Hunt and laud them for a stellar performance, we should be doing the same with Cleveland’s offensive linemen. The unit produced a 78.5 run-block grade, which would have been a top-10 mark in Week 1 and will likely be among the 10 best of Week 2.
Of those nine gains of 10 or more yards on the ground, Chubb or Hunt had at least 3 yards before contact on seven of them. For perspective, that’s two more than any offense in Week 1. While each sheds tackles and was a monster after contact, remember that most of the production is a result of the big men up front.

8 sacks?! Geez, that sounds nice.
BTW, if Wyatt Tellar keeps playing like this he's going to get PAID. Yeah I know it's two games, but he's literally been amazing. Not good, amazing. He's also built like a prototypical guard and he's likely the strongest guy on the team. He said he really enjoys this scheme because it takes advantage of his mobility and he likes to be out in space run blocking. I hope he can keep it up because he's really making a difference.

I agree with the Teller Love. Stefanski even said he is playing PSYCHICAL football. He may be a diamond in the rough

Time to do that for rest of season

True about Cincy; but we also played without our starting Right Tackle vrs Cincy. Hubbard did a nice job filling in. Our starting Center and our LT were also questionable prior to playing through their injuries in the short week.
Believe it or not, the yards per carry in week one were pretty good against the Rats for both Chubb and Hunt. Cleveland rushed for 138 yards, which doesn't suck. Having said that, we didn't run particularly well inside of our OGs in Ratville. In the passing game, the OL gave up 2 sacks; and one of those Baker held onto the ball way too long. IMO, the thing stopping drives was the huge inconsistency in our passing game.
When Cleveland beat Baltimore last year, they got ahead of Baltimore and they got away from their game plan. Same thing that happened to Cleveland this year.

I would totally agree... By the same token.. Don't piss on everyone's cheerios and savor the win... And as I said.. one good game by OBJ does not define his career or his 2020 campaign...
