OFFENSE 

Total offense : 28th 

Passing offense : 20th

Rushing offense : 31st

Points per Game : 10th 

DEFENSE 

Total defense : 17th

Passing defense : 2nd 

Rushing defense : 31st 

Points allowed per game : 26th

Turnover deferential : 27th

 

Ugly stuff. The only decent rakings we have are points per game and passing defense, and you could argue those are only high as a result of playing catch up and getting obliterated by the run so the browns didnt have to pass a bunch. 

Was kinda surprised we weren't last in rushing defense apparently that's the Titans. 

OFFENSE PLAYER STATS LEADERS

QB Baker Mayfield : 16/27 passing, 235 passing yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, 84.6 passer rating

RB Christian McCaffrey : 10 rush, 33 rush yards, 3.3 YPC, 1 TD

WR Robby Anderson : 5 receptions, 8 targets, 102 receiving yards, 20.4 YPR, 1 TD


DEFENSE

Damien Wilson : 1 sack (he has the teams only sack, the whole team is ranked somewhere near the bottom of the league only having one sack. IIRC Pitt and Buffalo lead the league in sacks with 7 total)

Xavier Woods : 10 tackles, Brian Burns, 8 tackles , Henry Anderson, 2 tackles for loss. 

0 INTS . O forced fumbles.

LOL 

 

Baker had bit of an ugly day with all the fumbles and that bad pick and the overall innaccuracy, but stats wise he looks kinda average if you don't take the fumbles into account (they don't show up on his stats line).

McCaffrey didnt have that many carries but even being said, 3.3 is rather low for him. But if you remember back to his rookie year when he was splitting carries with Jonathan Stewart he got very similar numbers out of similar work volumes of carries so in that sense it may not be too surprising. 

Robbie that was mosltly off that one pass in busted coverage but its encouraging at least.  If you remember his first two seasons he was also off to a big start and he subsequently disappeared last year, so keep an eye out for that.

The passing defense is heavily skewed because the Browns were not exactly starting Mahomes.  Our rushing offense was 31st because of our (curious) choice to not run the football, especially early.  Both of those numbers will probably bounce more toward the middle.

Unfortunately, the rushing defense may not move much.

It's one game, so I am not going to draw many conclusions and certainly not many beyond decisions and performances in one game.  The one to watch, IMO, is turnover differential.  Being 27th right now means next to nothing, other than the fact we didn't force any.  Had the one we did get stood, the entire outcome and how the game unfolded from there may have changed.

There was context to last year's Total Defense ranking too, but people kept ignoring it 😕

Yeah last year Sam constantly turned it over or went 3 and out.  If they have a short field, they can't get as many yards.  Also they spent the last quarter just running the ball to end the game.

They had 8 sacks and we had 0. Ugh, Riddick may just indeed be missed.

Looking for droped passes. I remember 2 for the Browns but wanted to see how that played into the passing game and pass D. Couldn't find it tho.

 

They were officially credited with 4 sacks. Myles Garret lead the team with 2 sacks with 4 other Cleveland defenders recording a 0.5 sack

      Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.

      Tailed you.  Also Free Play, which is why the risk shows $0.00. Let me look at hoops and get back to you.  Always fade Hubert, haha.

      Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
