Week 13: CLE @ TN... "there's thirteen hundred and fifty two Guitar pickers in Nashville"
-
This is going to be a Tale of the Tape game for sure. We are all about to find out just how sturdy that shiny 8-3 number really is. I'm confident that Kevin will have a good game plan offensively and he'll have the team ready, but I'm a lot less confident that we can actually go toe-to-toe with the Titans for all 4 quarters.
If the Browns can contain Henry, make 2 huge plays on defense, run the ball well on offense, play turn over free football, and most importantly, Baker can't leave any points on the table with head scratching misses of easy scoring and 1st down passes, then we have a chance to show everyone what our 8-3 is really made out of... but if we get blown out somewhere in the 38 - 7 ballpark?
Well that would be quite the confidence beatdown with the Stoolers and COVID spreading v1.0 both lurking in the weeds.

Obi will earn his next contract.. by totalling one assist on the game. He'll finally do something positive for the 2020 team by pre-emptively signing his 2021 contract for less than the veteran minimum.
Ronnie Harrison appears to be made of tissue paper.
Dolly PartonA hummingbird will bat its wings in the general direction of the Browns during warmup and he will injure his groin. Also, the Cuyahoga will catch fire at the same time his injury is announced. Thanks, Ronnie!How could we possibly determine if Baker will be a better player without OBJ? Certainly not by looking at his results while he doesn't have OBJ - those are facts, and we've never been interested in letting our opinions follow from the facts here on Browns Bullshit Blather!
This is the 47th game of Garrett's career. As the common phrase suggests, "47th time's the charm" - this will be the first game he plays all four quarters with equal intensity rather than selecting randomly one play out of every 4 to convince the OL across from him to attempt the "Ole block"
Since the Ohio State game will be cancelled again with Covid, their LB corps will all be flown in and will provide an instantaneous athletic upgrade to our geriatric
babysittersstarters. I wish this was a joke. -

OSU game hasn't been cancelled, that's just my natural 2020 cynicism kicking in.
Perhaps I'd do better than the Texans fill-in GM who released Kenny Stills for no compensation under 48h before Fuller was suspended for the remainder of the season {PED's}. Not shockingly, I had Fuller on my team..

Well they CAN be beat. They have lost 3 games. But I don’t know if you want to be giving the other team that kind of billboard material.

Nashville Cats
been picken since they's babies, get work before they're two.
We have to run the ball to keep them from running the ball. If we didn't have chubb, henry would be a equal substitute.

Kids today...Instead try:
Just shut your mouth. Do your job. Point to the score board at the end of the game. Go back to having your face 7" away from your phone every waking minute.

Goal is to come out of this one healthy.
This is a physical pound you into submission football team we will play Sunday...And while we have some nasty tough offensive lineman- We could have the softest defense in the NFL.
We have a HUGE problem with Backers that can’t diagnose and fill properly and this is a game where if that happens they just happen to have probably the best North/South runner in the league. Tourma who I agree with .0001% (kidding said it very well above). And not to offend or fire up any Titan fans on here but Henry is average going east and west and that’s where we need the spaces filled and we need him bouncing runs.
Tia made a great point that the focus and four quarter exhaustion keeping up with the focus you need above then you may get hit with a good TE and this massive play action beast WR singled up on some of backups that will be out of the league before long.
This could be scary on that side of the ball.
My broken record game plan is play keep away. Baker mistake free and executing throws that are given to him and then Oline playing man ball (7-8 min drives) the less we see of our defense the better. This is our bread and butter until reinforcements come this offseason.
Again let’s come out of this healthy.

Yep. With perhaps the best RB in the game, our LB corps could be shredded like they were pulled pork. Someone said that our key is ball control...keep the ball out of Henry's hands. In my opinion Chubb is close to equal to Henry, and Hunt gives us the overall advantage.....and now, also, we have Jack Conklin and they don't.

Amen. Keep the ball control. But even if reinforcements come this offseason, this offense should seek pounding the rock and short-medium throws (with the occasional long throw) to keep long drives. That helps ANY defense and I don't see us having a great defense next year no matter how amazing our offseason is.

First, you missed a great opportunity to introduce Little Tommy Rush into this Music City opponent discussion (see below).
Second, am I mistaken in thinking this is our first instance of supplying billboard fodder to an opponent?

No PS reports as yet.
Injury-wise of course there is the news that Harrison is headed to IR and our newly signed Safety, Thompson, is "out" this week due to Covid protocol which requires newly signed players to isolate a week and then test negative before physically joining the team.

I look at the Thompson move as an Advanced scouting move to study the Chiefs offense when we battle them in AFC Championship game

One thing for sure... yours is the most optimistic thought I've quoted in a long time...

Look for a very heavy dose of #22 right up the middle with multiple PA plays from Tannehill with an option to run (he was actually A&M's leading WR before conversion back to QB). This is not going to be pretty.
This is not going to be pretty.
Nothing is ever easy or pretty with our Browns. The Titans are tough indeed.
I'm looking forward to this one.

This game will be won or lost in the trenches. Whichever OL is able to impose its will to the greatest degree wins.
The way to stop... or at least slow.... Henry is to bottle him up and not let him reach the 2nd level with a head of steam. He needs a hole to be where it is supposed to be. Stuff him early and often and get a lead, then we effectively take him out of the game. And that tees up our now bookend DEs...
Easier said than done? Absolutely... both Titan OGs are having good years so Ogun and Richardson are going to have to be at their best to disrupt and keep our LBs clean. But if we can shift the burden to Tannehill, then we have favorable matchups on the edges and Tannehill is affected by pressure. He needs to be because Brown and Davis scare me going against our 2ndary.
A little stat look-see...
Titan Offense ranks:
- 6th in scoring offense averaging 29.5 ppg.
- 3rd in rushing averaging 158.2 ypg and T-5th in YPC (4.9)
- 22nd in passing averaging 227.5 ypg and 7th in YPA (7.4).
Titan D...
- 20th in scoring D allowing 25.9 ppg.
- 16th in rush D allowing 115.5 ypg and 4.3 ypc (16th best).
- 28th in pass D allowing 268.5 ypg and 6.7 ypa (T-14th).

The spread is TN -5.5...seems high to me. We all know TN's strength: Henry rushing and a few balls to Brown, who is almost as much of a bitch to tackle as Henry is. On paper, it looks like TN is tailor made to run it down Browns' throat; last week they looked as bad as their rush D ranking.
But, TN's rushing D is middling itself, coming in at 16th. With the way Chubb and Hunt are hitting it, that should be a real concern. And their passing D is near the bottom of the league. Landry could have another big day. I see this as a dogfight. Browns are 4-1 in their last 5. They have found their way to understanding what it takes to win, they have steadied the ship and Stef has to be given credit for it.
