FUN WITH STATS!
-
- Browns are #1 in the NFL in Defensive YPA at 6.0. It's one of the most important stats in football on both sides of the ball. It tells you what happens when a team passes in a passing league.
- But what about expanding that to, "What happens when a team TRIES to pass?" Well, the Browns are 2nd in sacks with 31 (to KC). So either you get sacked or you pass unproductively when you play the Browns.
POINT: The Browns can't do much better with their pass defense to create more wins. They're just about the best in the league.
- The Browns are 4th in the league in Defensive YPC (in a cluster right near the top). Teams don't get much when they run on the Browns.
OVERALL POINT: The Browns defense can't do a helluva lot better, this year or next, to affect the bottom line.

3rd downs & turnovers are what's missing.
-
the games with Weeds (gb, det,) the defense was inconsistent. With a competent QB that gives the D the advantage of defending with a lead is why they have turned it on again. Playing with a lead gives the D suuuuuch a boost in confidence and momentum.

That doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement, or for upgrading parts of the defense. Sure, maybe they will concentrate on offense in next years FA and draft periods, but getting even nastier on defense wouldn't hurt. I mean, what is wrong with trying to be the 1985 Bears or 2000 Ravens? Nothing at all.
(but, yes, QB/RB could/should be priorities)
