I tend to agree with the people who were actually at the game and those who do not have access to the All 22. Since his rookie year, one of the biggest knocks on Baler was being a one read QB that has issues going through his progressions and not seeing open receives. Now in Year 4, Baker may have improved some but no where near what he should be. He rarely ever looks at OBJ unless he is first read, which rarely ever happens anyways. I said it a few weeks ago, it appears as if the gameplan is to keep him as healthy as possible for tradebait before the trade deadline or after the year.

The offense has turned very bland and predictable. Just stack the box and force Baker to beat you with his arm seems to be the way to easily beat the Browns. If you do get in a shootout, the Defense will allow you to impose your will on them. We run an extremely conservative Offense and Defense. Outside of the Chicago game the Defensive scheme pretty much blows. Bottom of the League in turnovers. Garrett will get his token sack but the Garrett/Clowney combo hasn't lived up to its hype and they haven't "taken over games" or allowed others to rack up sacks, cause fumbles and interceptions.

What happened to all the great playaction fakes and designed rollouts like in the first 2 games? What happened to the creativity like reverses, Landry/OBJ throwing the ball, Chubb and Hunt in the backfield together...just a new wrinkle or something.


All this adds up to an average team with a .500 record.
