Browns Film Breakdown

Jake, Brad, and Anthony react to yet another lopsided loss in Pittsburgh. The Browns lost two early fumbles, committed penalties, missed tackles and were beaten up front. Jake points to three turning points: Jaylen Warren’s 51-yard draw on third-and-13, a 27-yard run before halftime that set up a touchdown for a 20-6 lead, and a fourth-quarter stall at the 2-yard line. Watson was sacked eight times, Pittsburgh out-pressured Cleveland 27-4, and Warren ran for 149 yards against what is now the league’s worst run defense. The guys question the game plans on both sides, the offense’s lack of quick answers, and how they respond from here. They also discuss injury concerns for key players like Carson Schwesinger and Tyson Campbell, more.

Jake and Brad preview the trip to Pittsburgh. Tytus Howard missed practice and looks unlikely to play, which would leave Dawand Jones against T.J. Watt. The Steelers’ banged-up receiver room points to a heavy 12-personnel, run-first plan, so the guys say stopping the run and forcing passing downs into man coverage is the key. On offense, Cleveland needs a fast start and an early passing game to loosen up a stout Pittsburgh run defense. They also preview the rest of the NFL slate and the league’s trade boom, then make their college picks with Brad now leading.

From Todd Monken’s Monday presser, they cover the Denzel Boston interception, the “auxiliary run game” and Jared Verse’s uncomfortable struggles.
