<![CDATA[Football questions?]]>Why does Travis Benjamin run across the field on EVERY punt?

The guy for the Bills was signed off the street this week. He had 3 returns better then ANY of the Browns returns all year

Why do the Browns run on 2nd and 10.................. 90% of the time?

Why does our defense NOT blitz?

3 man rushes on 4th down will NEVER WORK

Why can't the Browns cover a screen?

Why don't the Browns run screens?

Except to the backup TE

I'll stop at 5 questions, but there are plenty more to be asked

Screen to Metcalf......he's going ...he's going.....and he gets two yards

why does shanahan abandon the run in the red zone after multiple rushes with long gains?

This makes me sad that it happens seemingly every week. Although after that field-goal drive our run game died (but it was hot on that drive)

I'm going to say Benjamin is running scared back there. Our special teams has been really good this year, minus the return game. Blame Tabor.

I don't believe we did today, but if your 1st down play fails - it's desirable to try and get something like a 3rd and 6 (or better).

Why does our defense NOT blitz?

3 man rushes on 4th down will NEVER WORK

I don't understand that particular play today why we didnt bring pressure, but we did draw up some good blitzes and stacked a lot in the first half.

Why can't the Browns cover a screen?

We actually did really well today, except for maybe 1 or 2.

Why don't the Browns run screens?

We ran at least 1 to Hawkins, maybe 1 to Gordon? Last week we had a couple to Gordon.

Except to the backup TE

You have to run the ball and make 3rd down at least manageable.

Taking the chance of an incomplete pass/ 3rd and long makes it damn hard to pick up.

Because the ball is kicked to the opposite of the field the return is supposed to go.

Why can't the Browns cover a screen?

We can and have... I've seen it.

Why don't the Browns run screens?

Except to the backup TE... also to the WR...

Against a ZBS, front 7's read and react to O-line moves which take them to screens. The TE screen we ran today was a dbl (Faked left went right).

When the ball is kicked away from the return, SCRAP THE RETURN. Running across the field in the NFL is NOT GOING TO WORK

Why don't the Browns run screens to the RB's? I should have been more precise on the question.

Why do the Browns run on 2nd and 10?

Why don't they blitz?????????

still 3 questions that need answers
