AFC North.
Is It Too Early to Star Spamming House Of the Dragon? At The end of Episode One Of HOUSE OF Dragon, King Viserys Targaryen Gives His Rhaenyra Two Things. One, in The Form Of An Inheritance, The King Names His Daughter the heir to the Iron Throne. To Go Along With This New Found And Unheard Declaration, The King Entrust Her With The Prophecy. A Generational Concern Passed on Form Their Ancestor Aegon And His Dream from A Song Of “Fire And Ice.” A Malevolent--For Our Purposes A Conquering--Force From The North Will Move South And Bring About The End Of The Kingdom And Oh The End Of Mankind And What Not. The Prophecy Moved Aegon To, Amongst Other Things, Conquer Westeros, Believing Only A Targaryen Could Thwart The Threat. "Aegon foresaw the end of the world of men. To begin with a terrible winter, it's gusting out of the distant North.”
I Can’t Say Whether the Chiefs’ Players Are Fans Of Thrones— I Wouldn’t be Surprise To Find Out That Mahomes Like Thrones—But The Coldest Winter Rolled In From Up North, In The Form Joe Burrow, To End The Chiefs Dynasty In January. What To Stop Another Cold Movement? According To The Prophesy, Only Fire Can Challenge Ice.
I Assumed For Some Time That Only The AFC west Could Attest To Having four Team That Could Win The Division.
I’ve Visited That Space Already, And I Don’t Need To Corroborate the Competitive Overtures For Broncos, Chiefs, Chargers, and Raiders. I believe the West Comes down To Two In Actuality. On The AFC North, It's Far From that Clear Cut. The Four Teams Aren't As Competitive But Densely Packed Together.
The Bengals Are, Of Course, The Defending AFC Champs and The Favorites To Win The Division. The Steelers Played Hard All Season, And With A Unexpected Playoff, Berth Proved That Luck and “Coincidence” Are The Greatest Two Plot Devices. But They Have Quarterback Questions, And Those Are Questions Worth 70% Of The test At times. The Ravens Were The always UnFortunate Team As Far As Injuries Are Concerned. If The Team has Any Luck, A Number Pass Catcher Will Rise Out Of The Reclamation Project Of Receiving Core. The Browns Put Business Ahead Of Values, And Whiles Their Not The First NFL Team To Sign A Big Name With Heavy Baggage—To Put it Least Fractiously— its Truly Cleveland Versus Everybody. No One Outside Of The Northern Ohio Area Might want To witness This Team succeed. But success seems only A Matter Of Time, like 11 Games Time.
The Bengals Aren’t Coming Out Of The Dark This Season. But They’re Still A “Dark Horse” Candidate To Return to The Super Bowl. Because Despite their route The Bengals Were mid At Best last Season.
Lead By, What Am I Saying … You Know “Who Dey”. Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase, And Zach Taylor. The Bengals Don’t Strike Fear Across the NFL. They’re Not The Touted As, Say, The Bills, Chiefs, Or Even The Broncos. But Nine Of These Contenders Will Make The Unschooled Mistake Of Not Noting The Bengal’s Movement Across A very Wide open AFC. They are Dangerous. Should Anyone Slip? After The Battles, They Could Very Well be waiting To Pounce Again. The Bengals Roster Had Little Offensive Question Heading Into The Season, Especially Considering The Playmaking Joe Burrow Delighted Fans Before an Injury Upended Him.
Seeing As The Team Would Have To Rely In The Uncertainty Of Joe Burrow Standing Upright all Season and the Early Reliance On Unproven Wide Receiver Talent, Like Jamar Chase. Two Seems Like A Reasonable Guess For A Bengals Win Total. Everybody On The Team Exceeded Expectations, Except Burrow, Who Simply Elevated His Game. He Caught The Vibe.
His Deep Pass Completions went Up. He Finished the Second In Passer Rating and First In Completion Percentage. The Bengals Used The Vulnerable Offensive Line As An Escape Valve To Get The Ball Out Quick To Chase. Chase Finished Third In Tye League In Yards After Catch On His away To Breaking The Rookie Receiving Yards record With 1455. That’s Not To Say he Had The Perfect; He Had A Few Warts, But He’s Leading A Thee Headed Monster Out Wide Everybody Already Assume As The Best In Football. Second Year Year Receiver Tee Higgins Also Had A Thousand Yard(1091). The Former Clemson Products Takes In All Of The Work Over The Middle. Tyler Serves As The Linchpin To One Of The Best Pass Catching Unit In Football. They Improved The Only Weak Point—The Offensive Line In Free Agency— Signing La’el Collins And Ted Karras( Who Allowed Only Three Sacks Last Season) Along with Alex Cappa. They Don’t Have the Best Offensive Line, But They’re Not The Leaky Liability Of a Year Ago.
Will Joe Mixon—Already Established As One The Best Running back In The league— Continue to Have Those Touches Now That Cleaner Windows Are opening With Better Blocking? The Bengals Finished 25th In Rush Block Rate, According To ESPN. Somehow, That Has Lite Effect On Joe Mixon. Cincy’d Prmeire Tail back Ran For 1205 Yard on 4.1 Yard Per cArry And 3.09 Yards After Contact. Mixon Almost Pushed His Scrimmage Yards Pass 1900 By The end of The Bengal’s Playoff(1,888).
He’ll Serve As The Perfect CounterPunch or Remedy To A Passing Attack That Explodes For Greater Gains Or Compress Due To Defensive Adjustments.
Three AFC Teams Have Made The Trek Back To The Super Bowl Multiple Time Short Windows Over The Past Decade. The Peyton Mannings Broncos, Chiefs, And Patriots. The Bengals Have The Offensive Continuity To Make Another Explosive Run. Two Thing Threatened Their Chances. NFL Windows Close Shut Quickly. Both Joe and Higgins Are Entering Their Third Year and a Massive Extension For At least One Will Come Due. The Bengals Don’t Have a Fifth Year Option On Higgins Because Of His second Round Pick Status. The Bengals Have Higgins Under Contract For One More Year Before They Have To Make A Big Contract Decision And Pay Higgins Like A Thousand Yard Receivers. Elsewhere the Defense. If There exists Any Reason The Bengals Wint Receive The Un Attested Treatment as The Bills Or Even The Chiefs, The Secondary. Before the Super Bowl, The Question Loomed Whether The Unit That Intercepted And Broke That Back Of a Patrick Mahomes Could Withstand Matthew Stafford And the Rams. As It Turned Out, Not So Much. The NFL Circle Of Life Changes Like Night And Day, I Know Cliche But Just Take The Bengals. A Year Ago, They Were Under The Microscope For A Picking A Wide Receivers Over An Offensive Line. Moreover, QuestionS Whether Either Selection Would Change The Fate Of A Team Destine To Win Two Games The Following Season.
Ultimately The Bengals Overcame All Of The Projection Of the Last place to Make The Super Bowl. After Signing Ryan Jensen And La’el Collins to bolster The Offensive Line, The Bengals Are beginning a New Arch. No Underdog, No Outlier, No Flash on Tue Pan. They Are One Of Us Now. Expect The March To Begin With A Step-back. “They Feel Like a Team To Pump The Breaks On,” Sam Monson Said On The PFF Podcast. You Can't Discredit Their Superbowl Run, But You Have To Judge The Bengals In Relativity Too The Landscape and The Opponents And Accordingly To The Growth Surrounding.
For the Most Part, The Bengals Are Projection Free. Zach Taylor Will Roll The Same Team, Minus Tight End Uzomah(Inset Hayden Hurst) And the unsuspecting Nature By Which The Bengals Masqueraded Under. They’re Not The Hunted In The AFC By Any Means—Nobody Can Of That Respect—They Are Formidable. Few Team Exit The Offseason Having Addressed their Biggest Weakest And Regress In the Course Through The Season. But Like an Inverted Pressure System, Adding Weight To One Exposes Another.
The Bengals May Have The Worse Secondary In Football, And That Holds Even If Star Safety Jessie Bates Returns From Holdout. Chidobe Awozie Earned the Highest Grade In Coverage From PFF On TEAM, But The Rest Of The Unit Finished The season with A Mix Bag. ELI apple and Company Surrender The 26th Most yard(4222) and 18th Highest Quarterback Rating(93.1).
Expect More “Shoot Outs.” Unless The Bengals Intend On Dropping More Defenders Into Coverage( They Eight Into Coverage More Times Than AnyoneElse Last Season, According To ESPN). Then Expect Opposing Running To Have Scorch Earth Mark Beneath Their Feet.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Several Key Indicators will Determine How Effective In General, Terms The Pittsburgh Passing Attack Will Turn Out This Season. Installing A New Offense Present Numerous Challenges only The Installer Can Understand; Terminologies are On Of The simpler One But The Other Factors Are Too Recondite. At The Grain Of These Challenges, Can Matt “Air” Canada’s Offense Will Translate To Actually “Sensibility” In the NFL In His Second Year As Steelers Coordinators? His Use Of Motion InTo Alignment Earned Canada Earn Repute For “Creativity,” And Though Most Offensive Critiques Have to Plead Back Cosmetic Value Of Offense And Reveal Nothing “Baffling” To “Banal” Play Calling. The Passing Offense Looked Impaired, Not Innovative When It Work And hopeless When It Didn’t. Robert Mays Of The Athletic Refer To The Offense As “Mickey Mouse,” But In Truth, We Haven't Seen The Best Of What The Offense Ava Offer.
Under Canada’s Command, The Offense Ran An Obscene Amount Of Deep Routes, Almost Despite Ben Roethlisberger Pee shooting Arm Strength. One Reason Unthreading Of Offensive Philosophy and Results, Talent: Which Leads Into My Next Point.
Can Anyone Of The Quarterbacks On The Roster Complete A Pass? I Know That Shouldn’t Be The Question Proposed For Three Pro Quarterbacks, Not To Mention Two First Round Pick But That’s The Conflict Coming Out Of the Steelers Training Camp. After Long Tome, Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger Turned in one Of The Worse Season In the Quarterback play When He Finished With The Highest Amount Of Failed Completions. Roethlisberger averaged 4.4 completed air yards per attempt and tallied a negative 0.02 EPA per play in 2021. With That, You’d say The Steelers Could be Better With Any Other Capable Arm But The…
For A MOMENT, I Thought Mitchell Trubisky Might Prove The Doubters Wrong and achieve the Unthinkable. Manage The Team? No, Complete A PASS.
The Biggest Gripe Evaluators Have Over Trubisky, His Accuracy. His Ability Or Lack Of Ability To Put The Ball In The Right Spot Has Prevailed Over His Career. The reports Out Camp suggest If The Former Bears Quarterback Wins the Steeler's Starting Job, He’ll have No Less Effective Time At Running This Offense Than Ben Roethlisberger. According To The Athletic, Trubisky's Passing Attempts and Completion Have Broken Down: to 1 of his last 19 and 4 of 23 overall. He has the most interceptions of all quarterbacks In Tye Group. Not Auspicious. Of course, It’s Just Camp. For All, We Know, Every Quarterback Not Named Mahomes, Brady Rodgers, Or Herbert Hasn’t Completed a Pass Yet. What these Struggles Due Indicate, The uncertainty That Loomed Over The Steelers Quarterback Situation—That Looked Hella Dismal, To Begin With—Only became Murkier.
If Kenny Pickett Doesn’t Win The Starter Job Now, Then When Will He Ever? He’s 24 already. How Much Upside Can The Steeler Pull Out Of Him If He Doesn’t Start Day One?
From His Day At Pitt, Where Canada Serve As Offensive Coordinator, Pickett Received The Edict “focus on the basics rather than the minutia.” At Some Points, He Should Look To Confront The Greater Details Of The game. No Matter Who Wins The Job, The Skill Position Players Around The quarterbacks In Pittsburgh Are Going To Greatly Impact The Success Of Aerial Assault.
The Steelers Make It Their Business To Make Success A Team Thing; A Group Dynamic. It’s Never About One Position, As GM Kevin Colbert Stated. No One Player Contributes More To Winning Than Another. Whiles We All Know That’s Inherently True; The Steelers Are Going To Have The Opportunity To Prove That In Earnest.
The Steelers Have The Wide Receiver Room To Theoretically Fill The Reach Between Quarterback Talent Production And, Ultimately, Wins. The Steelers Are Recognized But Not Widely Celebrated For Their Wide Receiver Groups, saying The Packer, Viking, Or Falcon. This unit is Spare-headed By Diontae Johnson, Who’s Holding Out Fills Out With Multifarious Body Types and Skill Sets Who Can Win In Several Ways. Chase Claypool, Calvin Austin, And Training Camp Video Star George Pickens Winning at A Levels. I’m Still Surprised George Pickens Fell To The Steelers In The Second Round. The Former Five Star Recruit Still Has A lot Of Potential To Fill, But He Looks Like The Teams Top End-zone Threat Early In Camp If Any Can Deliver The Ball To Him. Johnson And Claypool, Already accustomed To Take Short Air Yardage Passes and Turning up Field For YAC. Both Diontae and Chase Average More Than 5 Yards After The Catch And Lead The Team In targets, Receptions, and Yardage. Depending On How Johnson's Contract Situation Unfolds, The Two Should Continue To Commands The Lion's Share Of Matt Canada’s Passing Attack. Tight End Pat Freiermuth Should Provide A Steady Option Over The Middle For Who Wins The Job at Qb. Pickens Should Push Claypool to That “Top 3” Receiver Level The Notre Dane Product Profess Of Himself. You Can't Knock Him For His Confidence Even If It's Delusional.
The New-ish Receiving Corp Also Allows Najee Harris, Who’s Effective Impact In Pass Game and Went A Long Way In Staying Ben Roethlisberger's Weaning Arm In The Short Throw Game, To Just Focus On Running. Depending on The Yard Stick, You Judge Harris's, You’ll Get Two different Backs. One Ultra Production 1200 Yard(4th) Back On 307(2nd) Tote Who Also Chipped 74 Receptions for 467 Yards. Harris Also Finished With One Of The Least Efficient Rushing Averages; 3.9 a Carry, 70 Yard Per Game. He Didn’t Exactly Have Bulldozers Paving The Way For Him, with Three Fourths (3/4) Of His Total Yardage (913/1200) Coming After Contact.
He Still Finished With A -48 RYOE(Rushing Yard Over Expected), A Metric That Generates Probabilities Based on Several Set Derivatives. Ultimately Harris Correlates is A Back Who’s Not Taking Advantage Of His Favorable Opportunities; He’s Leaving Yardage On The Field. A 1200-yard Back Underachieving, So To Say. Of The Seven One Thousand Yard, he is Running, Only Cowboys Rusher Ezekiel Elliot With A Negative Factor.
I Expect The Defense To Bounce Back, Beyond T.J. Watt And Minkah Fitzpatrick. Maybe not To Number 1 Status From Two Season Ago, But At Least Desperately Better At Defending The Run After Finishing Near The Bottom On A Play To Play Basis.
The Steelers Can’t Count On The Ravens To Lose Too Many Games If Lamar Stays Healthy and The Coaching Staff Follows Standard Fourth Protocol. The Browns Have A horse In The Race Once, Or If Deshaun Watson Returns, The Browns Are Going To Have to Say On the Final Results In The North.
Have you Ever Looked At A Raven, Like Actually Look At One, and Study Its Features? or A Crow Or Just Any Bird Of The Corvidae Genus? Usually Not Unless You Glance One Inadvertently. My Grandmother used To Tell Me If You See A Flock of Them, Someone Or Something is About To Die. In Many Tales And Folklore, Crows Served As Symbols, Harbingers of Doom. They Hangover Gates, Stalking and Waiting.
That’s a metaphoric Vision For The 2022 Ravens. Of course, Too Many Time Those Signs Of Woe Struck The Ravens Last Season. The Team Rushing Of J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards, And Justice Hill All Suffered Season Ending Injuries Before The Season. The Teams Other Leading Rusher, The Quarterback, Lamar Jackson, Also Suffered A Season Ending Injury. Still, They Hung Around Their Presence, Dovetailing Over The North Like Ravens Do. Jon Harbaugh’s Group Aren’t The Best Team In The North, but Their Lurking About Cincinnati; I Just Waiting For A Fall Off. The Results Would Put The Ravens Back In Contention If Lamar Jackson And Crew Can Overcome the TheRavens Offense Imitations. Last Season The Ravens Tried to Beat Curve. Two years After Electrifying and Stunning the NFL With The Most Overwhelming Run Game in NFL History, Greg Roman A and The Ravens Took To The Task of “evolving and morphing in new ways.” What are the Ways? What are The Draft Mob Almost Drove Lamar Jackson Completely Off Of The Quarter, ack He Turned Into One Of The Best Practitioners Of The Heights Of The Position?
Lamar Jackson Leads the NFL in yards per completion At 14.36 Yards. By Week 5, The Ravens Had Four Wand ins One Loss After Lamar Took Over Week Five,e 37/43 Going Critical mass For 499 Yards Of Offense. The Ravens Look Ed Good, At 4-1, But Jackson Found The Competition Stomping Prowess Of New power No More Than Ephemera. By Week 12, A Lamar Jackson Resembled Pre-draft Evaluation—When Many questioned If He Could Successfully Play The Position— More than The Most Fear Inducing Man To Ever Scramble With A football. He Threw Four Downfield interceptions. After Four Years, One MVP And Numerable He Look Like An Unredeemable Quarterback Project. As A Result, His EPA Per Drop back, Passer Rating, and QBR All Fell To The lowest of His Career.
Those Figures Don’t Represent from The Start Of The Season To Th Finish Each Decimal Point Detail Lamar’s Ee s And Flows Of His Untapped potential. From The Year he Became The Youngest MVP To The Year Lamar Needed To evolve.
He Learned A Lesson Old As Time, No Matter How Much One Tries To Stretch The Boundaries Of The Position, You Have To Yield To The Ways Of Passers. Quarterbacks have Always Won Consistently. In The Pocket. Pure Progression. Manipulating Defenders With Your Eyes. That’s The way It Works.
The Offensive Play Calling and Design Put The Already Evolving Lamar Jackson On Rocky Grounds. Some Of The Concept Forced LaMar To Hold The Ball As The Play Rounded Into form Downfield. The Results Were Spectacularly Below Average Passer Rating For Lamar On Passes Beyond 20 Plus Yards.
Lamar Ranked Amongst The Most Blitz Quarterbacks In The NFL. I Have The Exact Rate On The Top of My Head, And Stopping Mid though To Run Googles Search Feels Like A Humbug.
I’ll Leave it to The Editor. Ultimately The Ravens Having Him Drop-back Behind What Became An ailing Offensive Could Serve As A Requiem To A Dream And Nightmarish Tale Of Injuries. The Ravens Lost Lamar Late In The Season. Left Tackle Ronnie Staley Early In The Year. The Ravens Have Learned that Deep Threats and Deep Passes are Too Expensive To Employ and too Volatile To Insure. The Ravens Made The Surprises Move TradING speedster Marquise Brown To the cardinals For A first And Never Bothered To Replace Him. The Teams True Deep Threat Tight End Mark Andrews Should Suffice When Deep Concepts are InDemand. He Finishes With Nine Catches On Nearly Thirty Yards On 12.81 Yards Ran Per Route, which are Exclusive Numbers For a Tight End.
Health, Especially At Running Back and O Line, Will Go A Long Way For The Ravens. The Wide Receiver Corp Ranks As One Of The Worst In Football.
I Imagine The Ravens Are Going To Ask Lamar Once Again To Evolve As A passer. He Hasn’t Hit The Intermediate Route Effectively Enough, And He Only Throws One Route(Shallow Crosser) At A Truly High Level. Every Other Route He Targeted And Hit Often enough To Justify Playing Quarterback. Lamar automated His Play Style To Run From The Position; He’s Peerless At That Unique Quality, But Naturally, You Have To assume He Negated His Development As A Passer. Many Therapists and Scientists Understand That After a Certain Age, a Child Can No Longer Learn To Speak. I Believe The Threshold For Learning How to Talks Breaks At Four. I Wonder If, through Lose Reps In College and Early On In His Career, Lamar Failed To Develop A-Arm Profile Static Enough To Run A Modern “Pass Happy.” Offense. Not Necessarily The Arm Strength But The Static Elasticity To Pull, Ripped And Torque The Ball Repeatedly. In His Sophomore and Junior season at Louisville, Lamar Ran For 39 Touchdowns Combine For A Grand Total Of Fifty By The End Of His College Career. On top Of 655 Attempts On Tempe Grounding. Remarkable But All Of Those Rushes We’re Pass Defer, Even in Designed Concepts.
Elsewhere the Ravens Secondary Looks Like the Best Unit In Football. The Line Between The Best And The Next Aren’t that Wide. The Packers, Bucs, Dolphins, And Bills are all Of the Strong Secondaries. When All Things Are Leveled A Strong Secondary Only open demand on The Offense Or Exploitable Talents Otherwise Ignored Due To hubris.
I Worte Ad Nauseam About Deshaun Watson And the Browns. What You Didnt Read Any Of It? If You’re An Avid Follower Of Mine I Know You Must Have Stop For A Moment Mid Sentence And Posited and Queries; when?
I References Watson Briefly In My Piece On Mayfield. I know because I Never Actually Posted any Of the Writings. As A Football Purist, I Found The Process Of distilling A Discourse on The Sexual Allegations Scandal Surrounding Deshaun Too Sinuous, Fractious, and Digressive. Overall Tooo Exhaustive And Not Worth Any Of The Possible Backlash. Even Now, I want to Stop Myself.
As I Dance Through The Details Of The Legal Saga, I Found Myself Using A Political Correct Tone Or Just Tone Death One Entirely. As A Young Black Male Working Hard To See A Dream Cleared Through Time(Customs) And Into Reality, Im Honestly Sympathetic Towards Deshaun, Even If That’s Not The Popular or Correct Stance at The Moment. Of Course, He’s In Err Here, But the Diatribes And vitriol Towards The Man, Not The Villain, Have to Exceed Reprimanding. I don’t Want to continue To funnel Into That ‘World.'’
The Matter Incurs Too Much Socio-Political Discharged That Cloud and Prevented Any Clear Evaluation Of The Person Infractions That Happened. I’m not forgiving Watson Of Any Blame Im Just questioning The motivation For The “Vilification” Of Him And His Actions. Nobody wants To Ask The Questions…
“He Who Are Without Sin Cast The First Stone.” I’ll Leave That There.
As It Stands, Watson Will face a six-game suspension to start 2022, Pending an Appeal By The NFL for an entire season. When Watson Returns(😬), the AFC Will Once Again Feel The Threat Of The Cleveland Browns, As Crazy as That Sounds.
I’ve Followed The Brown’s Off Season, Training Camp Updates, And Deshaun Still Has Pack In with Him That Rocket arm And The bravado Of a number One Elite Quarterback In The League. Everything That Made Him An Exemplary Model Of The Highest Regarded Position Remains Intact Since He Last played Over A year Ago When He Led The League In Passing Yards(4823), Second In Completion Percentage, And Passer Rating. He looked Like the Best Quarterback In Football. A Battered Mercenary Emerging From The Wreckage. He Requested a Trade From The Texans After Finishing 4-12. Then The Football Portion Of His Life took A Stand Still. Now the Camera’s Running Again.
Just A Look At A Few Clips From Brown’s Camp Reveal Why Cleveland Took The Risk and Paid The Ransom.
Whoever Said The Legs And Arm Are All connected In Quarterback Play, Look To Deshaun Watson For A Champion. His Feet Move Like the Arms On Train Wheels: In And Out, In And Out, In And Out. Like a Locomotive. He Leaves Little Reason To Guess if That Ball’s Coming Out On Time and In Rhythm. He’s Going To Put it In Place.
When Deshaun Left Houston, The Team Had The Least Effective Run and A lot of Guess Work Along The Offensive Line; that’s Far From The Case In Cleveland. In Northeast Ohio, A MVP Just Waits To Operate A High Octane Offense. With Watson And The NFL Now Settled On An Eleven Game Suspension, The Browns Can Lean On Other Strengths. The Run Game, Spare Headed By Nick Chubb. I Still Think It’s Amazing That Chubb Doesn’t Receive The Applause Many Players Who Have Overcome Major Injuries Receive Once They Reach Stardom. Near The End Of Or The Summit Of His Georgia Career, He suffered A Major Knee Injury That damaged multiple ligaments In ahi’s Knee, Including The “Strongest” Or One The Strongest PCL. Recovered And Continued His Path To Dominance In The League. He’s Power And Explosive. He Leads All Running backs In a Big Play Rate(17.3%)(Marcus Mosher). Chubb Can Tote Most Of The Running Back Duties Alone, but The Browns Have A Host Of Backs. Kareem Hunt Who Brings far More Elusiveness To The Tail Back Order. D’Ernest Johnson, Who Filled In When Both Hunt and Chubb Went Down. He averages 5.3 yards Per Rush, Right Behind Chubb’s 5.5 Yards Per Carry. The Browns Are Also High On Fourth String Back Demetric Felton, Who Could See His Touches Jump. Say Kareem Hunt’s Contract Situation Extend Into The Season. The Browns Other Seismic Strength, The Other Backfield, The Secondary. The Brown’s Secondary Isn’t Quite “No Fly Zone” But Lead By Denzel Ward, who Briefly Reign As The Highest Paid Corner In football, The Unit Has Daunting Young Talent. A Trove Of Second Round Picks, Greg Newsome, Who Plays Opposite, Greedy Williams, Grant Delpit In The Secondary, John Johnson, and One Of The Best Coverage Linebackers In Football, Jeremiah Awosoh-Koamoah.
Furthermore, The Browns Improve their Playmaking On The Outside by Bringing In Amari Cooper From Dallas. He’ll Give the Browns a Number Threat They’ve Been Pining For, And Just Haven't Found The Right Match. Cooper Immediately Became The Best Option On The Market Once The Situation In Dallas Became Unsolvable. He Should Give Whoever Starts For Cleveland—Jacoby Brissett— A Target To Trust Once Both Players Connect On The Same Page. The Playmaking Gets Thinner Behind Cooper.
Donovan Peoples-Jones Has played Above Average Complimentary Bal. He’s Now The Teams Longest Tenured Receiver And Should Have An Extension Pending. The Browns Are Banking On Tight End David Njoku To Feature More Prominently In The Downfield Attack. He’s An Athletic Marvel who Whose Still Raw At The Position, And Brown Expects Jump IN His Production After Clearing The Tight End Room And Signing Njoku To a $56.75 million deal, including $28 million in guarantees.
The Browns Are The Best Team In The AFC North When/if Deshaun Watson Returns This Season.
