  • Browns offensive player grades vs. the Jets: Who was elite, average and replaceable in Week 16?

    Updated Dec 28, 2020; Posted Dec 28, 2020

    Cleveland Browns Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt vs. New York Jets, December 27, 2020

     

    CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Browns gained 299 yards and averaged just 4.0 yards per play Sunday against the Jets, well below their season average of 5.8 yards per play. To provide a fuller picture of how the offense performed, here is how Pro Football Focus analysts graded Browns offensive players.

    (PFF grades on a scale of 0-100, with higher grades indicating better play. PFF has explained its grades this way: 100-90 elite; 89-85 Pro Bowler; 84-70 starter; 69-60 backup; 59-0 replaceable. In other words, not too different from how we would match up percentages with traditional letter grades in school.)

     

    Check out how Browns defensive players graded vs. the Jets.

     

    QUARTERBACK

     

    Baker Mayfield: 57.7.

     

    Notable: Mayfield’s adjusted completion percentage was 66.7 (four drops, one batted pass, two throwaways). He was under pressure on 13 of his 57 dropbacks, and 5-of-9 passing on those plays. He used play action on only five dropbacks (3-of-4 passing), far below his season average of 34.1 percent through Week 16.

     

    RUNNING BACK

     

    Nick Chubb: 67.8.

     

    Kareem Hunt: 63.9.

     

    Andy Janovich: 54.9.

     

    Notable: Chubb had seven avoided tackles as a runner, his second-best single-game total this season. He also had four avoided tackles after catches. Janovich played 11 total snaps and had a run-blocking grade of 55.1.

     

    WIDE RECEIVER

     

    Derrick Willies: 60.1.

     

    Ja’Marcus Bradley: 57.3.

     

    Marvin Hall: 48.7.

     

    Notable: Bradley played 77 snaps, Hall played 74 and Willies three. Bradley caught five of 10 targets, with five targets considered catchable.

     

    TIGHT END

     

    David Njoku: 75.9.

     

    Harrison Bryant: 56.4.

     

    Austin Hooper: 54.3.

     

    Notable: Hooper caught seven of 14 targets, and nine were considered catchable. He also had two drops, and Bryant had one. Njoku had the best run-blocking grade on the team (76.9).

     

    OFFENSIVE LINE

     

    (grades are for pass blocking, run blocking)

     

    JC Tretter: 83.0, 59.9.

     

    Joel Bitonio: 80.2, 73.8.

     

    Kendall Lamm: 74.0, 70.6.

     

    Jack Conklin: 75.9, 70.4.

     

    Nick Harris: 29.6, 68.7.

     

    Notable: Lamm gave up four pressures (one sack) and had a penalty. Harris gave up three pressures (one sack) and also had a penalty. The line accounted for just 10 pressures in 62 pass-blocking snaps.

     
     
  • The line looked much worse than that for some reason. The two sacks given up were absolutely terrible. Wills and Teller are definitely missed. 

  • And we better get our damn receivers back

    Collectively very possible, if individuals take turns failing to execute their assignment.

    Only takes one fail for a play to blow up.
