Our defense is solid but it’s not a “Dominant defense” by any means.

Our LBs are average at best and the Secondary is good but not lock down.

With CY back I hope we can actually create TOs

As he should.

Let's hope for a run heavy game plan that takes Miles Garrett into account on passing downs. He's by far their best player, and you cannot allow their best player to beat you (as we've seen the previous two weeks). An early lead would be great. Hopefully Gibson's foot is ok; it looks like he's questionable at the moment.

No reason why we shouldn't win this game.

The Commanders have given a return-to-practice designation to TE Armani Rogers and CB Tariq Castro-Fields.

With Scott Turner in control, hope is all we can do

Would be nice to get these two back if only for the last game. Our TEs have been disappointing since Rogers went out

Agree, but if Wentz isn't getting it done the 1st half I would not be surprised to see Heinicke back in the game

Re: Dawg pound Pre Game thread
 

On paper this is a perfect scenario for CW to come back and play really well.

Yeah he’s been set up with BRob and Chase back. Logan Thomas healthier. Dotson more experienced and a defense that has greatly improved since he started last. And a better understanding of the offense.

He needs to take advantage of it and for god sakes earn that paycheck

Re: Dawg pound Pre Game thread
 

Of course if Wentz wins these next two games then Ron is going to keep him next year, even if he loses in the wildcard round. Makes the offseason complex, but I would rather win now and deal with that later

I think we've seen the last of Heinicke unless Wentz gets injured.

Re: Dawg pound Pre Game thread
 

If Wentz can stick to the quick passes and jives with the wide receivers quickly we might stand a chance. This o-line is not good enough to let longer plays develop.

Re: Dawg pound Pre Game thread
 

That D Line is going to fucking eat. Garrett and Clowney may honest to God have 4 sacks each.

27-10 Browns

[quote=Meks;1333813]One of my best friends is a die hard browns fan.. always makes for a fun day when we play. I've rooted for Cleveland forever, been to games love the fans and the city but come Sunday all that means nothing. If we didn't get saddled with new years day we'd be driving down to the game but nonetheless, TV will have to suffice.

[B]I've watched all their games. Great defense and killer run game. Watson has stunk[/B], badly, but we will have to control the clock and move the chains in order to win this one.

Low scoring, 23-13 dub.[/quote]

Thats what scares me. Apparently they are 4th in fewest QB points allowed in fantasy

Ive seen maybe a quarter of Browns football.

Im worried.

Really good in depth article of what Browns D Coord has done past few games to adjust. Written on Dec 6 so doesnt take into account past few games but past few games the D has been good

Browns D is no joke but apparently their DTs suck.

If they blitz/stunt/bring pressure = they dont respect us

Re: Dawg pound Pre Game thread
 

Browns DVOA defensive ranking is 24th overall, for comparison we're 11th.

idk man .. im worried, they might be figuring their D out. They allowed 30 or more pts in 5 of their first 11 games. Since then ...

Won 3 of past 5 games, D points given up (and some of these might be off O turnovers returns for TD, idk)

17
3
23 (vs bengals)

We dont pass pro well

We dont pass pro well against pressure or elite edge rushers

Wentz doesnt avoid sacks and isnt a great "quick pass" QB

If both teams get like 7 possessions total ... it may come down to a last min drive by either team in a low scoring game
