Week 13: CLE @ TN... "there's thirteen hundred and fifty two Guitar pickers in Nashville"

The Browns Board
105 24 3.1k 1
  • 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... 😉

  • This defense vs Henry. 

    This is going to be a frustrating game to watch (Like the Raiders game....)

  • 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.

    @texasag1969 said:

    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).

    We can do this...

    We can do this...

    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.   

  • there were fifteen million fingers

    learning how to play

    and you could hear the fingers picking

    LET THERE BE ROCK

  • This game is a huge test for the Browns. 

    How will they match up against a top level AFC opponent? It did not go well in the two previous attempts, vs Baltimore and Pittsburgh.

    First that I can remember, and I guess that's the silver lining... we are finally relevant and actually on other people's minds for once.

    But still guys, just let the scoreboard do all the talking.

    Anyone else kind of looking forward to Sendejo trying to take on Henry one on one? I can see 3 possible outcomes. 1. Sendejo whimpers and "misses" completely  2. Henry stiff arms him face first into the gound as he passes by at 22 mph    3. Sendejo is knocked silly by a knee to the head as he tries to go low  It's kind of funny in a macabre sort of way.??

    After his best game in probably two years I’m going to be positive you know The Multiple pass breakups and his blood shed on the field. 

    I’ll add The fourth option though he sprints into the camera shot as if he were part of the play and celebrates one his teammates tackle after a five yard gain. 

  • best bet henry gets covid
