I thought the Browns had a chance to gain momentum On the 4th and 1 play. Instead of being cute and tricky Lineup hat on hat and see what team wants it the most Instead Cincy gets a jolt of momentum.
Lou Anarumo did a great job of scheming for Chubb. Forced Chubb to run horizontal and was sending Hilton On well timed run blitzes. DJ Reader was unblockable.
The Browns need a real burner for this offense. Cooper and Jones are strong WRs but they don't blow Past CBers or Safeties. Berry doesn't put alot of value In speed on offense Harrison Bryant is a waste of a roster spot. He can't create mismatches or block at the point of attack.
I thought Watson looked better but he has issues at the 2nd level He missed wide open guys on shallow crosses. I think in Houston he had the luxury of throwing deep balls To Fuller and Cooks.
The Browns defense lacks guys with I.Q and natural football Instincts. Perrine scored on a 6 yd run cause the defense Assumed the play was over. How embarrassing. Then the defender missed Trent Taylor resulting in a 34 yd gain.
The Bengals were the better team even minus Hurst Higgins Boyd Take away Njoku Jones and Cooper from Watson The Browns offense might put up a FG. If Burrow was a Brown this would be a playoff team He put up 23 points down 70 % of his arsenal
