The larger issue that has some validity is whether a offensive-minded coach like Stefanski can learn to depend on his defense at the end of the game rather than insisting that his inconsistent offense has to salt the game away. Maybe if a run does not work, you take 30 seconds off the clock and punt. Can he learn to trust his defense to hold the opponent to 40 yards in a critical situation and prevent a field goal? That is a much better question.

Nick Harris is mostly being used as a fullback these days. He is prospering at his new job.

The Arizona Cardinals have decided to make QB Josh Dobbs trade bait, so the Minnesota Vikings and Cleveland Browns could be landing spots. Dobbs spent a year plus 2023 training camp in Cleveland so he could quickly become the number two QB in Cleveland behind Deshaun Watson

We want a new quarterback. Well, we can’t afford one. We have to assume that Deshaun Watson will eventually perform so a megabuck deal for Carson Wentz is not in the cards. A running back deal makes somewhat more sense, but really a smaller deal would be more likely. The Browns might be interested in smaller deals: for example, fortifying the offensive line, and financing that be trading away an interior defender.

Coach Stefanski, your quarterback can’t throw. Get out of denial.

A win is a win in the NFL and regardless of how it looked, they all count the same and the Cleveland Browns now have hold a 4-2 record on the season after a comeback 39-38 over the Indianapolis Colts. It was a win on the road, where the Browns’s franchise quarterback Deshaun Watson returned… read more

So, what did we learn?

Deshaun Watson cannot throw.
The Browns are in denial if they are saying that he can throw.
The Browns do have a remarkable defense.
The Colts have a talented offense and were able to move the ball when everything worked.

With Deshaun Watson returning to the lineup, oddsmakers see the Browns versus Colts game as moderately low scoring affair. However, they like the Browns defense but don’t believe they are the reincarnation of the 1985 Chicago Bears.

It really is impressive when you start to glance at all the defensive statistical categories that the Cleveland Browns lead the NFL in so far this season. The Browns shocked the world last Sunday when they beat the previously undefeated San Francisco 49ers 19-17. It was another outstanding performance by the defense only giving up… read more

The Cleveland Browns will bring an unbelievably hot defense to Lucas Oil Stadium to face Jonathan Taylor, Gardner Minshew and the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. How hot have they been? Well, so hot that their numbers are actually better than the numbers posted by the 1991 Philadelphia Eagles, who were judged by many experts to… read more
