On to Oakland...

More drive blocking would be nice. Hopefully a big game for Crow.

Excellent stuff, Tour. I love reading it.

LOL. There is no such thing in the NFL. Use Benji as they clear out decoy and get the rest involved in the short/intermediate game with more draws to RB's and throw in some screens for a change. Ball control is the name of the game. Patience grasshoppers, patience.

Pet has JM cleaning up his fumbles.

66 points allowed the last 2 weeks, so definitely thinking we can score on these guys.......

And very defendable weapons on O....so, thinking we can keep the scoring to a minimum.....

This week.....the Browns run up some offense....

Doesnt matter who our QB is......we gonna win......

Browns 27.......Oakland 16

I hope so. We need to keep winning at home, steal a few on the road.

I hope if they plan on starting Johnny, they allow him to make more plays. He only threw the ball (I believe 15 times) against Tennessee. That won't get it done against Oakland. Not with Amari Cooper, Khali Mack, Crabtree, etc. I still say we should start Josh McCown. Just seems to me that Johnny goes for the big play more and if teams put more guys back there, they can shut that down. Where as Josh play a more controlled offense and goes for 1st downs more.

OAKLAND. Feeling good about this game. Don't see a blowout, but like last year, a tight game we're in control of for the most part. one passing TD, one rushing TD and a couple of field goals should be enough. Can't rely on heaves to Benjamin every game, nor a ST TD.

I also think they should start McCown. Not for the fact that he is that much better for the offense (because who knows with only one drive) but I just don't think JM is quite ready to take over the ship yet. What they have done with him so far is looking like it is working, so let him learn some more and keep working on the little things that need work (Defense recognition, running through reads, etc).

Perfect response hx214. Couldn't agree more

So is Joe Haden stuck with Cooper this week? Will he get a little safety help?

You think Haden will need help with Cooper?

Comeonman

Certainly Cooper isn't their #1. But then again I'm not too familiar with da Raidas

Pretty sure he is their #1.

He needed help with the last tall, fast receiver he faced (Marshall), so yes we need to occasionally put a safety over the top with Cooper. I love JH but Marshall burned him badly in that game.

Mudfly

Haden should be fine.....yeah he had a rough game against the Jets, but he certainly didnt forget how to cover all of a sudden....

Usually, its those tall-long receivers where he does well(think AJGreen).....and its the short fast guys who make him struggle(think Antonio Brown)....Id expect him to handle Cooper just fine and maybe even provide a lil schooling to the rookie.....

Crabtree actually has more targets after 2 games, 24 vs. 20. OAK looks to be a developing 1a and 1b situation. Both are 6'1 210-ish sized WRs... which surprised me as I think of Crabtree as taller and lankier for some reason. That said, Cooper sure looks like the tougher assignment to my eye... much tighter, crisper routes and fakes.

Biggest deal Sunday that I see is keeping a Raider running game, which has not yet gotten on track this season, from getting going. Latavius Murray, their "surprise find" from a year ago has only 109 thru 2 games. But his average is a respectable 4.2, so it may simply be game situations that have limited him. He has caught 10 balls. He did not play against us last year.
