The Cleveland Browns are currently 1-2, with their only win being against the New York Jets. When they played the Jets, they were without Sam Darnold and were forced to play with 3rd stringer, Luke Falk. The Browns looked unstoppable and seemed to have bounced back from the horrific week 1 loss to the Titans, the final score was 43 to 13.
In week 3, the Browns lost to the Rams 20-13 in a heartbreaking fashion. The Browns were the 6 yard line with 4 attempts to score. Baker Mayfield's first pass was overthrown, second one was tipped, the 3rd one was incomplete, and the 4th one was ultimately intercepted with 30 seconds left in the game. The Rams would take a knee and win the game. What made this loss feel even worst than normal was the fact that Daniel Jones looked like a top 5 quarterback, passing for 336 yard, 2 passing touchdowns. and rushing for 2 more touchdowns. With Odell being traded from the Giants, the question was being asked on if Odell would've been better off with Jones instead of Mayfield.
The Browns biggest problem is their offensive line, they can't seem to protect Mayfield most of the time. The Coaching staff for the Browns needs to address this problem and quickly change their playbook to adjust. With Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham, the Browns, in theory, should have no problem moving the ball at all. With Baker having little to no time to throw, they should be running more slant plays and screens for Odell and Landry. When Odell catches the slant is when he's the most dangerous, the Giants mainly ran slant plays to Odell and it proved to be the most effective.
The Browns arguably have the best wide receiver duo in the league with Landry and Beckham, it's ultimately up to the coaching staff to adjust to their glaring weakness on the line. Odell Beckham is the most electrifying receiver in the league, and Baker has the balls to throw any play ball up to Odell. This quarterback-reciver duo should be working and they need to have a better record than 1-2. If the Browns coaching staff doesn't turn this around. this has the chance to leading to most of that staff being fired before December.
