Jackson regularly said that Duke Johnson (1,041 total yards in 2017) and Nick Chubb needed to get the ball more, but Haley relied on Carlos Hyde. Hyde was traded on Oct. 19, two days before the Bucs game.

The slow starts have bothered Jackson, but one of the bigger issues has been the way Mayfield has been used. Jackson believes Mayfield needs to play fast, with more no-huddle or hurry-up mixed in with quick throws like slants and even some occasional read-option plays. That, the thinking goes, would make deep throws more effective.

Haley has relied on more of a traditional dropback system for Mayfield, which has led to him holding the ball and taking 18 sacks, including 15 in the past three games.

Browns are being passive on defense because they don't want to give up another TD. Not because they're trying to win, but because they'd rather be cautious in order to not get humiliated. They needed to attack and get the ball back on defense, not sit back. That's a coach who knows he's just about done, and trying to delay it as long as possible.
