Not that it matters but I was looking forward to the white top orange pants. We did well with those on against the Gals. I hope we see those one more time.
Make no mistake, Derrick Henry is going to run all over our defense, Nick and Kareem will do their thing
Baker Mayfield will determine the winner or loser of this game. Big game for bay may, I’m throwing all of the hyperbole on this one. Insight into the future.
The more I look at this game the more I like our chances.
Start with our OL. Inside at both guard positions and center we go against Jeffery Simmons and Daquan Jones. That should be back and forth battle.
But overall our OL should give Baker time and we will be able to run the ball.
Stopping Henry will a task. In fact he will get yards. However, what we need is to keep him out of the endzone. This becomes more about winning on third downs. And getting turnovers which has been a strength.
Jarvis is finally getting healthy. Baker should have a good day. He will have time and Jarvis and the TE's should do well. Secret weapon may be Hunt in the pass game.
I like our offense in this game. We will do enough on defense. But I like us scoring points in this game.
He has a youtube channel and has been doing this for a few years now. I been watching him for about two years. Not always 100% but as good or better than most talking heads and still a big fan. Just click through the video to his page if you want more.

I love him. He does good stuff! I commented on his stuff and let him know the board loves his stuff.
Blocking those who argue to argue, eliminates the argument.
What I hope happens....We start scoring big in the 1st quarter, resulting in the titans abandoning their run game. We keep the scoring up, obviously which will keep their ground game limited.
What I fear will happen...the opposite lol Tennessee comes out on fire, scoring early...rendering our running game (our heart and soul) useless. Baker will have even more pressure on his shoulders.
Not going to lie, it feels so good to be in a playoff position in December (Heck for nearly the past decade, I just wanted to see us at .500 ball) However imho we have barely squeaked by some pretty bad teams, and the good-very good teams (Ravens and Steelers) Blew us apart...The Titans are at minimum a good team, I wouldn't be surprised to see us struggle...a win here, would be huge nonetheless.
Making the most out of all drives on offense. Winning the turnover battle also..
Making the most out of all drives on offense, partially means, get at least 3 points every time you get the ball across midfield,
Field goal kicker is going to have to have a big day, and the Passing game is going to have to have a big day.
(Call up Derrick Willies off the Practice squad in my opinion is key to the Browns winning this game, I'm not sure the Brown could win this game with their current crop of receivers not having another "threat" who is tall, to "bounce" or "work" other of the D's coverages' off of.
Even After that, I still feel, getting the Tight ends the ball in the passing game to a larger/greater/grande more extent than usual is another key to the Browns winning this game.
Becoming dynamic and unpredictable and opportunistic on offense, Without! trying to do too much early, for instance. We have the situation of the Falcons in their super bowl loss, we also have the situation for the Browns last week iirc,
Where with the Browns, they get the ball to a first down, maybe even a 2nd down, to the opponents 22 yard line, with 7 minutes to go, And I say, Kicking a FG there, to go up 11 points and kick off, up 11 with only 8 minutes to play in the 4th
though unorthodox, should not be out of the question or overlooked.
The Falcons in their super bowl loss to the Patirots had a similar situation, where a big named receiver caught a big pass down to the 25 ish while up a certain amount with about 11 minutes to play.
I think, if they kicked the FG at that point they would have possibly gone up 25 points and eliminated the possibilities of the Patriots coming back to win that super bowl which they did. because I don't recall the details but in my mind, I think it would have eliminated the possibility of 3 scores tying and required 4 separate scores, which usually, barring onside kicks, requires 4 separate posessions to get the win,
Which would have given the scenario where Tom Brady's and Bill Bellichic's come back (given an expectation of 2.5 minutes per drive) would have ended with them not having enough time on the clock to get the 4th possession.
The Falcons, in that super bowl, up 18, or 22 or whatever it was, Did NOT, elect to kick a fg try, when they got that pass completed to the pats 25 ish on that play
I do distinctly remember the very next snap was a big loss, about negative 10 I'm guessing for the falcons, when the Pats D stepped up, the very next snap, becaue the Pats' D was desparate.
NOW!, what you could do, as an offense,
is take that D's ability to desperately make a sack, and take that away from them by, in that situation, Call a timeout, and send the FG kicking team out, and make a Fg, to go up an insurmountable number of points, per time left in the game, while you already have the lead.
It is an option, though very unorthodox. And if the FG is good, it helps your cause, perhaps, in the end.
Last weeks Browns game would have allowed for the Browns to kickoff, up 11 points, with 7+ to play in the 4th quarter,
instead of up 8 points, to allow for the possible 2 point converson by the Jaguars to tie the game.
We can remember how the game ended, and the bad calls, 3 which had to be overcome by the Browns, up 2 points, including including a faux holding call on the center to set up a 3rd and 12.
Browns, against the Titans, need to make the most of all opportunites on offense, including trying to ensure they get a FG or better every time they get the ball plus midfield.
Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.
Call up Derrick Willies off the Practice squad in my opinion is key to the Browns winning this game,
They brought up Ja'Marcus Bradley instead.

Our offense might be the best way to get Henry out of the game. Vrabel is a smart coach and he's not going to outthink himself. He's going to make sure Henry gets the ball. The best way to get away from that is to put the pressure on their O to score. Make Tannehill shoulder more of the load.
I agree, use our running game to control the clock and keep Henry off the field as much as possible. Baker has to play better also. Going to come down to TOs and penalties. Time for the Browns to prove they are not a fluke by beating a good team on the road!
