The Not So Obvious From the Browns Game

[Dblock804]

Rogers best game yet. Little scared when JC went down. CP get's the game ball for sure.

What's with running a reverse with Fred Davis? I thought the idea was to give that play to someone with just a tad bit more speed.

I like that they're trying to get him more involved though. And Devin Thomas -- why can't they just send him on a fly pattern deep and launch the ball to him? At least you know he'd go pretty much unnoticed by the defense since he's seldom used.

Yeah, that was strange. I think Davis can get open, and he did.

Thomas should be able to get some looks too. Yesterday we were just conservative. Only 23 throws i believe. So, no one was going to light it up.

I t may be just me and the commentators but I thought he was going to throw it. It's not a bad idea really, because nobody expects your TE to throw the ball. They just shut the play down too quickly for him. for all the criticism, the Browns defense isn't all that bad.

I agree about the pass rush, but I suspect we were building O in this years draft and looking to next year to pump up the lines on both sides of the ball. The current record may well be something of a bonus to the organisation who I think were looking to next year to get competitive. IF we can pick the right players up in next years draft, imagine how much better we will be? Right now we need Taylor to get his groove back.

As to the passing game, I think Campbell is being deliberately careful and trying to avoid mistakes. Am I alone in thinking I wouldn;t mind seeing him make a few more throws down field and risk the INT?

Sorry to say but I'm with Mattyk72 and not with you. Turnover-free football may not be as sexy but it wins.
