Speed should not be focus for Browns offense

While the Cleveland Browns do need to make some tweaks and improvements to their offense, an overhaul based solely on speed is the wrong way to go. A belief has infiltrated the world of the Cleveland Browns and it is downright preposterous. This thought has come from the offensive display of the Kansas City Chiefs that was witnessed this past Sunday. What is this thought? That the Browns do not have enough speed on offense and should change things for the sake of speed. Listen Tom Cruise, not only is that a terrible idea, it’s completely irresponsible to do so.  First off, comparing the offenses of the Chiefs and Browns is comparing apples to oranges. The schemes are entirely different and that is before comparing the talent level of players and their specific traits. Much...

Takeaways from Browns 22-17 loss in Kansas City

Even though the Cleveland Browns lost Sunday, the final score was a lot closer than many imagined. The fact that only 39 total points were scored was surprising, but there is a reason for that and it is mentioned later. Cleveland had a chance to win and unfortunately they came up just short. There is hope for the Browns moving forward and the familiar mantra in Cleveland comes back in a way that is not ironic. There's always next year. The defense needs a ton of work There was one glaring issue that the Browns had coming into this game and it was the defense. Kansas City ran through the Cleveland defense like a hot knife through butter. Even when a quarterback change was made due to an injury, the Chiefs still had their way. Both Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce had 8 receptions for 11...

The Cleveland Browns quarterback has been named the FedEx Air NFL Player of the Week. Baker Mayfield had himself a good day against the Tennessee Titans. Perhaps it was the best game of his career.

Mayfield also had 4 rushes for 5 yards and even caught a pass for 6 yards. The 25-year old quarterback did something he has not done much this season, carry the team to victory. This was the first time that Mayfield eclipsed the 300 yard mark after narrowly missing it in the Week 7 win over the Bengals. The way...

Browns Week 13 win over Titans is different

The Cleveland Browns 41-35 win over the Tennessee Titans is just different. A victory in this fashion has been way overdue for the Cleveland Browns. Week 13's 41-35 win over the Tennessee Titans was missing one thing that was present in their other eight wins and it is actually a good thing. There is no "yeah, but" that can be applied to this win and that is what makes it different. Every other win the phrase "yeah, but" can be applied. Yeah, but it was the Bengals (twice) Yeah, but the Colts didn't have Darius Leonard. and even the weather has been used as a "yeah, but". What the Browns did the Titans can be described relatively easily, a complete asskicking. Cleveland had their way with Tennessee from the jump and were able to race out to a 38-7 lead thanks to an e...

Baker Mayfield has best game as a pro

The Cleveland Browns quarterback had the best game of his career in the 41-35 win on the road against the Tennesee Titans. Baker Mayfield has had games with more passing yards and more passing touchdowns, but his performance on Sunday was the best in his career. Mayfield looked good for an entire game, something that has not happened all that much since 2018. The poise and decisiveness that everyone has been waiting to appear finally showed up. Just using the eye test, this was easily the best game for the third-year pro. The Titans essentially dared Baker Mayfield to beat them with his arm and that is just what he did. Mayfield completed 25 of 33 passes for 334 yards and four touchdowns. The four touchdowns came in the first half which tied a record with the legendary Otto Graham. ...
