We were probably a 3 or 4 win team with average/competent QB play (think back to the McCown year) but we had awful play from that position. We also had a string of tough calls from the zebras that hurt us I think I counted probably 2/3 games that year that the zebras probably impacted the win column

I worry more about Delanie Walker than Henry. I think this is a different Browns front 7 against the run. You have guys back with more experience and you add Richardson and Vernon and a different scheme. We should be able to make Henry go east and west before he gets to the LOS and we will have some rally to the ball. If he can get to the perimeter and go one on one with Greedy and Ward and advantage Tenn, but I can’t see this happening beyond a few times Delanie Walker is their weapon that can have a big game and needs to have a big game against us. Kirksey, Morgan Burnett Or Avery lined up on him worries me and I think Mariota while not perfect doesn’t have to be perfect to make this matchup a nightmare for our D

I’m curious not just how they handle Myles Garrett (they have a converted RT doing it) but the aftermath of pulling help to his rush side and how that opens up one on one matchups that we can exploit with guys like Ogunjobi, Vernon, and our backers getting to the QB. And if blocking Garrett requires help we should have an easier time with less titans to worry about in the pass game. Blocking Garrett and the chain reaction of trying to block him is the key the game. The Tenn game plan has to be run between the tackles /screens /draws and get the TEs active in the 5-10 yard area but I don’t think the Browns bring the blitz that often beyond their front 4 getting after the QB. This is a really tough matchup for Tenn- facing our d without your left tackle and Tenn has a QB that can’t hurt you over the top. On offense if and it’s a big if we can hold up inside G/C/G positions we should put up points. I see the key to this game getting out fast and forcing Tenn to throw and play well behind the sticks and the scoreboard. I can see this game being a struggle and We struggle running the ball and give up pressure up the gut and win a 17-16 type game. If the Browns interior line comes to play we can easily win a 31-10 type game.
