Week 15: CLE @ NYG... Browns vs. The New York Football Giants... in New Jersey
-
No I get it, I do. We got a taste of what we can do in one offseason with the OFFENSE, so my mind drifts toward, "OK...what can we do with the DEFENSE!"
I think we're now in a pickle with Vernon. For a long while it was a given that he's toast, but now...I'm not sure. If Vernon closes out the season strongly, and I expect him to absolutely blow UP tomorrow, that decision is difficult. Other than that, I think Ogunjobi is gone, and virtually every linebacker probably gone except maybe Goodson and possibly Taki.
There's a misconception around here that the defense was overlooked on purpose, that the front office "couldn't fix everything in one offseason so they concentrated solely on the offense".
Actually, the Browns picked three defensive players directly after Wills in the 2nd and 3rd rounds... Problem is, they've contributed little.

Yep. Delpit injury was huge.
And I think They expected Taki and Wilson to take a big step forward. After average below average years that was leap of faith IMO. And Greedy to play and solidify the second corner spot. Again what has Greedy done at this level. So front office is not without fault.
We’ve learned that we have very little depth.
most of us have given woods a pass this season over these events and guys like Sendejo, MJ stewart, etc. getting more time than what we thought. Doesn’t that happen every year? Injuries. Guys playing we don’t expect?
I was impressed with Woods taking a relative no name secondary w/ one aging vet last season and coaching them up well - by most all accounts he did a great job with what they had. If you dig around they had some turnover on that defense last season and setbacks with injuries.
the game plans have been puzzling. Halftime Prevent defense multiple times with leads. No blitzing Glennon. Whatever we did against Lamar Monday. He’s too conservative- when you need to pressure to protect this weak secondary- not sit back and make them cover a couple extra seconds.

It's going to be quick release, short passes 95% of the time. Maybe, just maybe our LBs will recognize that and make a play or several!!!

More of a lack of comprehension by some around here.
No one has said "solely" and no one has focused on the draft alone. This FO emphasized the offensive side throughout the off-season in contract extensions, FA and the draft. It was a smart approach then and remains so today because Job 1 was to be sure of what we have in Mayfield. Of course one of those contract extensions went to MG, so again, not solely.
SdB mentioned Delpit availability issue... add Phillps to that list as well appearing on only 7 games to date. So that leaves Elliot who was drafted to be a backup as the primary contributor through 13 games. It's not surprising that their sum total is low to date.
Contrast that with John "The Football Guy" Dorsey's 2019 Defensive draft...

Garrett and McCoy share a financial adviser, the Browns defensive end said Friday. And yes, that does factor into Garrett’s motivation heading into Sunday’s contest.
“Me and Colt have the same financial adviser so if he’s under center I’m going to bust his a– and tell our adviser about it,” ? #95

Final Practice Reports for the week.
As others have mentioned above Sendejo and Teller are Out. Njoku appears as a DNP. Tretter got a day off. Hodge, KJ and Ward looking iffy. Hoop, Ogun and Stewart lok good to go.
And NYG's report...

I know injuries happen every team, but that Delpit injury really altered what we wanted to do defensively. The silver lining is the injury directly lead to us getting Harrison, who is without a doubt one of our best players. We wanted to run a triple safety defense with Delpit at the LoS and moving all around.
We deliberately avoided the linebacker position and it has cost us dearly. The really fun thing to think about is what our secondary is going to look like assuming Delpit returns healthy. Unfortunately we can't count on Greedy, and I'm not even sure he's better than Mitchell ANYWAY. We HAVE to re-sign Kevin Johnson as our nickel (he'll command a shitload btw) and then you'd be looking at Denzel Ward, Terrence Mitchell, Ronnie Harrison, and Grant Delpit. It's hypothetically the best secondary in the NFL.

The KJ injury is absolutely killer. He HAS to play or else it's Tavierre Thomas...and that can't happen.

That is one helluva hypothetical considering how often Ward and Harrison are not on the field, and the fact that Delpit has all of zero minutes of NFL experience.
The young players on the defensive side of the ball have answered no answers going into the offseason. I can't think of a rookie or second year player on defense that has made Berry's job easier by putting a visegrip on a starting job and claiming it as his.

Teller is out.
This is the absolute killer. Teller always seems to go out right when we need him. I hope he heals up quickly!
Both teams are obviously bitten by the injury bug, but what most don't realize is how bad the Sendejo injury hurts us. I know he hasn't been good this year, I get it, but just wait until you get a load of Shedrick Redwine. Good grief is he bad. Redwine will make a few plays that get you thinking he's pretty good, and then he'll go straight ass clown and you'll be wishing for Sendejo. Remember when Mike Glennon threw it deep on us? Colt McCoy WILL hit several deep TDs on us, too. No team can prevent TDs with their 5th and 6th string safeties. There WILL be people open.
Hubbard played well in Teller's previous absence, but he's nowhere NEAR the run blocker Teller is. The GOOD news is that Hubbs is a better pass blocker than Teller, and Teller was beaten multiple times in the past several games, so it's possible we're getting an upgrade.
Just so everyone knows, Jabrill Peppers is going to have the game of his life tomorrow night. Doesn't it just seem like it's ordained? Lol! He's gonna cause a fumble, have a pick 6, and lord knows what else. I just see it. ?

Wait....
Now we're scared of Colt?
There's a reason he's been a career backup. 60% completions, about a 1:1 TD\Int ratio, and 78 QBR. Those woe is us guys- we're going to get beat by another backup QB.
How about Baker passes for 300+ yards and 3 TDs against a depleted Giants secondary, Chubb and Hunt combine for 200+ yards rushing instead? Show a little optimism for a change...
