I may be wrong but I don't remember the Browns giving up 100 yards to any teams runningback, a single runningback, through these 1st 6 games.
If that is so, I think it's remarkable, I think I can't remember a time the Browns have been playing the run this well.
If it is so, then why can't they get even one win out of these first 6. Oh well.
Good Job Run defense!

Cause we can’t stop an old lady from completeing a 10yard slant on us.

The front seven ( with exception of the MLB spot have done a decent job ) Problem ( big ) is in the backfield ..

shelton looks much better to me ... and the team has made it a point to stop the run, which is nice to see.
Everything else? yeah.
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Boston is far to the left as KC settles into the slot. Fannin is flanked out wide to the right. Judkins and Sampson are split in the backfield as the ball is hiked ... Here we go."

Yes, the run defense has been good.
Thanks for pointing out a positive with this team as there is obviously not much there.

Except for passes to the TE.
Welcome back, Joe, we missed you!…. That did not age well.

Except for passes to the TE. Ya and playing the safeties so deep creaties a natural hole in the defense.
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

Why would teams run and get 3 to 4 yards per play when they can just throw and get 10 to 30 yards per play. It's like watching us rush 10 players (who don't get to the QB) and drop one guy back 50 yards in coverage. Then for some strange reason our BRILLIANT D cordinator can't figure out why all the receivers, tight ends, and running backs are wide open. 
I AM ALWAYS RIGHT... except when I am wrong.

Cause we can’t stop an old lady from completeing a 10yard slant on us. This. It seems part of our defensive philosophy is allowing the 10-12 yard completion in the middle. It's a bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off for em'
