NateDawg Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 If we are without Njoku and Higgins this week, that certainly won't help us. We can use all the playmakers we can get against the Rams. I'm also interested to see how Kareem Hunt eventually changes this offense with what he can do underneath.

Not saying he is 100% but I think he is close enough that we don't have to worry about it unless something happens. No doubt in that even a little restricted he's still an insane athlete. He was wincing repeatedly and grabbing his hip after that play and even did so in the endzone when he scored. Nothing to be overly concerned about, but something I'll be watching closely going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking ahead towards next week, I have some real concerns about what I think we could see. We've really not had the best game-plan on offense, and I think I expected more of an adjustment from last week to this week. Baker isn't being put in a consistent position to be successful with the passing play-calling. He has never really done great against inside pressure, and the Rams have that in bunches, led by Donald. Baker has seemed confused or uncomfortable in the pocket more than I expected so far. To have a chance of winning or avoiding serious injury to Mayfield next week, the recipe needs to be 3-step drops, rollouts, and screen passes to go with the ground game. Everything I want to see out of Baker and this team will be tested next week. Can Freddie call a good gameplan in against a winning team with elite defensive playmakers? Can Baker fight through insane inside pressure while remaining accurate leading us to a win? Can we battle back from in-game adversity if the Rams go up on us during the game? Can this defense be disciplined and make plays against a high octane offense? Next week is the real test, and I'm excited for it.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said they never loosened up but he kept playing until he couldn't anymore which didn't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Ron Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 1 hour ago, Mind Character said: A win always feels good, but until this team with Baker leading beats a team with a winning record and/or playoff contender I'll reserve my real excitement. Freddie calling a pass play getting Baker hit when we're up 20 and there's like a minute left in the game is one of the most disappointing things and upsetting things from this game. It's the height of foolishness and shows a real lack of awareness. How can you put your franchise QB in a position like that. It wasn't even a QB protecting play call. We beat the Ravens last year.

matt27j Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Defense asserted themselves and that is the highlight for me. A tuneup for the real test next week. Offensively we are still toying around. Which is ok. Barely scratching the surface so far. Landry hasn't had much schemed for him yet. Once we start giving him screens playing off obj it's gon be smooth cruisin. Im sure that 89yd catch and run is going to get teams to make sure their focus is on him at all times. Btw obj landry and chubb thats all you'll really need. Rivals the typical rb te wr combo. Ratley, Higg, and Djohnson show some ability to get yac as well. Today was a reason to let some of your worries fall off and just enjoy the ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfournier103 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Congratulations on the win, guys. The Browns bounced back and the Jets crapped out just like I thought they would. A good win on a big stage. As far as next week goes, I’m not really sure what your expectations should be. The Rams are no joke and given what happened to Drew Brees and the Saints on Sunday, the Rams have to be the favorite to repeat as NFC champs. If I were game-planning on the Browns coaching staff, I’d focus on winning the time of possession battle. Keep the ball away from Goff, Cooks, Gurley, and the rest of the Rams offense. Those guys are lethal. Thanks for beating the Jets, and good luck Sunday night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the losses at WR and RB are adding up. Hopefully Higgins and Hilliard will be back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His route speed and movement dynamics were sluggish relative to the elite of elite movement athlete he's been in his career. On that TD run, a healthy OBJ houses that with ease, but you could see his movement not as fluid, him laboring, and his acceleration/speed diminished. Now, when you're an elite athlete with crazy speed that still means you house that thing like he did lol. Will be something to watch going forward. I hope he can stay healthy. They said he went something like 21 mph what are you talking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the Rams are an elite team. I loathe Dallas, but they're more of the favorites to win than the Rams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
