Browns @ Dolphins Recap - 11/14/22 06:31 PM
I'll ask again this week.........Can we please keep this thread about things that specific to this game only? There won't be many posts if we stick to that criteria and that is fine, because some posters don't get to see the games. Other posters just like to talk about the "football" that goes on during a game. The Post Game thread has a ton of posts about who should be fired, how bad our organization is, how the world is ending because a sports team isn't winning. So, there is a place that already exists to vent. I am not asking that the replies be positive. Just game specific.
--The defense was extremely pathetic. Everyone knows this, but it needs to be emphasized....our DTs were horrible. I saw both DTs pushed back 5-8 yards on multiple plays. That is unacceptable.
--We did a pretty good job of limiting Miam's deep passing game, but they ran it down our throats and hit a lot of underneath routes.
--Myles had no impact, even when he was blocked by only one man.
--Clowney is stealing money.
--I thought Taki played hard.
--Ward had a beautiful, athletic play where he jumped and knocked the ball away from Hill on a long pass.
--Our safeties did not provide much help in the passing game.
--We had a great first drive on offense. We actually moved the ball well most of the game. The defense kept letting the O down.
--Jacoby's stats probably were not great, but he played well. Very accurate w/most of his throws. Scrambled well. Most of his misses were during garbage time when we were playing in desperation. He can't succeed playing hero ball.
--Chubb's fumble was a killer.
--The 'Phins were intent on stopping Chubb and we did exploit their passing D quite a bit. Chubb still ran hard.
--Hunt looks like he lost a step of quickness.
--DPJ w/some nice catches and plays. One crucial drop, though. Gotta make that one on 4th down.
--We missed Njoku big time. Bryant can't block and he isn't dynamic as a receiver.
--Cooper drew a tough matchup.
--The OL struggled. Bitonio and Pocic were good. Wills, Conklin, and Froholdt were really bad. Teller must have aggravated his calf injury. I have never seen Conklin play anywhere close to that bad.
--I noticed Hudson replaced Wills at LT. Injury or performance?
--Special teams actually held up yesterday.
--I agreed w/the 4th down decisions. Even those late in the game when we had little chance of converting them. Better to go down fighting rather than punting the ball away because you care about how lopsided the score will be.
--It's been said that South Beach provides a lot of distractions. It looked like many of our defensive guys might have experienced those distractions. They were beyond awful.
Okay, I would like to hear about your thoughts about this game only. Player performances and the like.
