It's the third episode of Gotta Watch The Tape, a companion podcast here in the Orange and Brown Talk feed. On GWTT, two big areas of the Browns are chosen and dissected in each episode, with film analysis, numbers breakdowns and a spin toward what's next.
This time, the big game from Myles Garrett against Washington leads off. Scott Patsko breaks down how often Garrett is playing on the left side vs. the right side; how many snaps he's playing each week and what that means; how he's tied for first in the NFL in pressures this season; his overall defensive grade compared to other NFL stars; and where he is in his progression as a dominant force on the field.
Then it's onto the lack of speed on the Browns defense, and how that opens up the Browns to giving up big plays on the perimeter. Ellis Williams explains how effective Washington was with both run and pass plays on the perimeter; how Dallas might attack the Browns next; the idea of a bend-but-don't-break defense that does actually break; and the guys play several rounds of, "Is that guy slow?" in deciphering where the biggest speed problems are for the Browns on the back end.
Thanks for joining Scott, Ellis and Doug Lesmerises on Gotta Watch the Tape. We hope you're enjoying this new addition to our already excellent Browns podcasts.
