The Browns wouldn’t do it -
By Bear Hands · Posted
Some of this was good offensive playcalling against our front (the 4 & 1 for example). But interesting on that one it was our 3-4 personnel but we technically had 5 with hands in the dirt. I wouldn't call that a 5-2 but it's what 3-4 teams do in these run commit scenarios. So that playcall restricts us from having 1 more guy to be more fluid in space on the strong side, and we lose lateral containment. Good job by our new safety to call it out presnap, but bad execution by Wallace and Jackson IMO. Trevin with the error. He saw the motion and shifted but took an initial angle towards the handoff not the anticipated location. Bad field awareness. So he was now behind and the Jags had 2 guys to engage Jackson & Moehrig on the outside. Jackson just kind of sloppily engaged Strange. Outside of that, one of the biggest things I'm noticing is a severe, and I mean severe, lack of presnap communication on our defense. It just seems to be Moehrig. He had some iffy angles this game but was far and away doing the most to get our guys in the right place presnap. I think Moehrig is trying to do everything and then some so he's going to be caught out of place because of this. Rozeboom and Wallace aren't doing that (and other things) which is a major concern. Rozeboom took such a excessive first few steps in that last clip, he just gave the Jags a cozy opening to float in a completion. You could see he was pissed. The 2 ILBs in our scheme need to be communicators and quick decision makers. Trevin has the quickness but not the awareness or decision making. Rozeboom doesn't have the quickness and is just average/below-average. We need help there if we want any sort of decent defense this season. The line and OLBs have the ability to stop the run, but not when these 2 are making terrible decisions and allowing teams to play in the middle of the field.
