00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:03.680
Welcome to Brown's Fan Therapy.
00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:08.640
Please take a seat and try to remain calm.
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:12.480
Calm.
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:16.480
We just got beat by Pittsburgh 27 to 6.
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:19.280
We didn't score not one touchdown.
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:26.320
Hey now, stay down.
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:28.320
This is real fancy.
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:44.079
And apparently I'm a left button.
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:48.479
So without that being said, let's get into some therapy.
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:50.640
Dog pan.
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:52.560
Let me get this straight.
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:56.640
Deshaun Watson's throws for 324 yards.
00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:01.759
Hell fanning catch for 10 passes for 154 yards.
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:05.120
And we walk out of Pittsburgh with six points.
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:06.799
Where they do that at?
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:15.040
Meanwhile, our offensive line apparently decided that protecting the quarterback was an optional part of the job description.
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:16.799
Eight sacks.
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:18.719
Yeah, eight.
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:21.920
And don't get me started on the running game.
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:23.200
34 yards?
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:26.079
Man, I thought we had this fixed last week.
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:28.159
That's not a rushing attack.
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:30.079
That's a cry for help.
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:36.640
Pittsburgh ran the football, controlled the game, and reminded us that we still have a lot of work to do.
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:38.959
Grab your seat, dog pal.
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:42.319
Today we're not celebrating.
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:44.319
Today we're processing.
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:57.040
You know, the Browns entered this game with a chance to build on this five and two start.
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:06.400
It was a chance, y'all, to leave the division solely by ourselves.
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:12.240
Instead, Pittsburgh dominated, just outphysically us, man.
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:14.240
We just got dominated.
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:21.360
The offense moved the ball through the air, but we couldn't finish no drives.
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:25.039
The defense struggled to contain the Steelers running game.
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:29.680
You know, this is something that we've been exposed to.
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.080
You know, last week.
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:38.080
Well, all year, they kind of, they kind of, that's been our little Achilles heel.
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:39.120
Like we've been showing that.
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:42.639
Our defense has been a little suspect on that.
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:50.000
And last week, Tennessee and Tony Pollard, they gave everybody the blueprint.
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:53.759
So believe me, teams, that's what they're gonna be doing.
00:02:54.719 --> 00:03:00.159
The eight sacks and early turnovers made an already difficult matchup worse, man.
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:06.000
So let's get into it because this wasn't just a loss.
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:12.800
This game was something that showed us exactly where the Browns still need work.
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:21.039
Watson was under pressure throughout the game.
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:25.280
Pittsburgh recorded eight sacks.
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:29.759
Its highest single game total since 2021.
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:33.759
They had more sacks than we had points.
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:35.680
That's crazy.
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:41.680
They also forced Cleveland into repeated negative plays and kept the Browns running.
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:46.319
Game to just 34 yards.
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:49.680
This is miserable, man.
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:53.599
The offense struggled to establish any consistent rushing attack.
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:58.879
You know, eight sacks put the quarterback and the entire offense behind schedule.
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:03.599
We couldn't, I mean, the whole game, we're chasing, chasing, chasing.
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.879
Pittsburgh repeatedly won the battle up front.
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:08.479
Eight sacks.
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:17.759
At some point, we got to ask whether we're running an offense or hosting the open trial for Pittsburgh's defensive line.
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:21.839
The Browns fumble on their first two offensive possessions.
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.079
And Pittsburgh capitalized on it, man.
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:29.360
Scoring a touchdown on opening quarters, first drive, first scoring drive, you know?
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:35.439
We can't give a division rival extra possessions.
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:42.560
Early turnovers, they can ruin the game plan before it even gets us a chance to develop.
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:48.959
The Browns spent too much of the game trying to recover from their own mistakes.
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:52.639
You want to beat Pittsburgh?
00:04:53.120 --> 00:05:01.600
You can't walk into Ackerchure Stadium and start handing out footballs like this party favorites or something.
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:09.199
Pittsburgh rushed for 200 yards compared to our Measley.
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:13.519
Just Measley 34.
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:18.560
Jalen Warren led the way with 143 yards and a touchdown.
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:23.439
While Rico Dotto, he wasn't in the first game, but we knew it was gonna happen.
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:26.319
Added 56 yards and a score.
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:29.439
They controlled the line of scrimmage.
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:35.759
You know, the running backs consistently found room to operate consistently.
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:42.959
And we gonna talk about somebody that could not stop nothing, but had a lot to say.
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:48.319
Cleveland couldn't get enough stops to give the offense a real ex the chance to come back.
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:52.480
You know, the Browns

didn't lose because of one bad play.
00:05:53.439 --> 00:06:00.800
They lost because Pittsburgh beat them in the trenches, took advantage of all the turnovers, and controlled the whole game.
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:07.040
So let's talk a little football.
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:15.120
You know, Deshaun Watson, 324 passing yards.
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:18.959
It was notable and a good individual stat.
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:24.240
You know, but Cleveland's offense, they couldn't convert that production into touchdowns.
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:28.639
The team scored two field goals and failed to score in the second half.
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:35.120
You know, Deshaun had he was completed 27 of 39.
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:45.120
So he dropped back 39, and most of those, that 324 yards, that was in garbage time where it didn't even matter if he played, if he threw them or not.
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:46.000
You know.
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:52.000
You know, passing yards, that don't tell the whole story.
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:56.240
And, you know, the offense had trouble finishing drives the whole game.
00:06:56.399 --> 00:07:02.160
You know, just like I said before with the running game.
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:12.720
Yeah, Quinshawn only, he was only averaging 2.3 yards a carry this game, but he also had less than 20 touches.
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:16.879
We got to give those guys an opportunity to touch the ball.
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:19.279
He's got to touch the ball 20 times.
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:23.120
If you don't do that, you're not allowing him to establish a rhythm.
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:28.639
But at the same time, can we depend on our offensive line to help him?
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:33.360
Man, this game, I don't think it was even that was even something that we could depend on.
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:38.639
Eight sacks created negative plays and made scoring more difficult.
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:42.480
Cleveland's rushing game offered almost no support.
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:43.680
No support.
00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:47.519
Just like I said, you know, we got to get that play caller, man.
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:48.800
It's got to get better.
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:52.800
And the reason, part part of the reason why, is because we're chasing.
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:54.720
We're chasing the whole game.
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:57.600
And that's something that we cannot afford to do.
00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:05.199
We got to start off fast and we got to start off, you know, getting getting into the end zone.
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:06.879
You know, we got to start scoring.
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:10.160
Whether it's a kick, whether it's a touchdown.
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:12.079
We got to start scoring.
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:20.079
You know, the fair question, it ain't simply whether Watson's yardage was good or bad.
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:27.839
It's whether the offense can turn those yards into points when the protection and running game aren't working.
00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:33.360
So let's talk about the bright spot of the offense.
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:43.759
You know, Harold Fannon, he was the Browns standout receiver finishing with 10 receptions for 154 yards.
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:53.200
He didn't make it into the end zone, but he did show a weakness in that, all in that defense on uh the other side of the ball.
00:08:54.320 --> 00:09:01.600
You know, Harold Fannon, he showed up ready to work, you know, while the rest of the offense, I don't know where they was at.
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:06.879
I guess they were still trying to find out where uh Acrosure Stadium was.
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:12.000
You know, let's talk about the running game again.
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:26.480
You know, 34 rushing yards on 15 carries, and that's between Judkins and Sampson.
00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:28.799
Think about that, man.
00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:34.559
2.3 yards and Pittsburgh rushed for 200.
00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:36.480
Them boys, they was ready to come.
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:38.639
They was ready to play.
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:41.360
And they was charged.
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:42.639
Charged.
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:46.159
You know, we couldn't establish the running attack.
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:49.360
Pittsburgh's defense, they was there.
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:50.559
They stopped the run.
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:52.720
It wasn't, it wasn't nothing we could do.
00:09:52.879 --> 00:10:00.159
You know, without a running game, the offense, they became easier to pressure because we became one-dimensional.
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:06.720
You know, becoming one-dimensional is not the recipe for complementary football.
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:07.919
It's just not.
00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:18.240
You know, we putting the the game on the shoulders of the defense every game, and then the defense giving up 200 yards, we ain't winning jack.
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:29.360
You know, you know, the Browns just gotta find a way to create more balance that they want this passing attack to be more effective.
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:41.600
How much of the offensive struggle was the offensive line, and how much of it was the inability to get the running game started?
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.000
That's the question I have for y'all, Dog Pam.
00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:57.600
You know, Denzel Denzel Ward, he intercepted Aaron Rodgers in the third quarter, recording his third interception of the season.
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:03.840
But the defense struggled to contain Pittsburgh's ground attack and gave up, like I said, the 200.
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:06.879
You know, this is all it was.
00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:20.320
You know, they they kept producing explosive plays, you know, Washington, you know, that big old, big old lineman out there catching passes and running fat.
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:23.679
Man, he was torching Sweesinger.
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:26.399
And they kept running the same play.
00:11:26.639
--> 00:11:36.879
On both of those 50-something yard pass plays, they kept, that was the same play, that same wheel wrap that he kept, he kept getting on the outside of Sweshing.
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:39.519
Man, that it was just terrible, man.
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:45.440
The defense, they just needed to get more stops to give us a chance, man.
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:52.080
You know, that one interception, it just wasn't enough to offset the Steelers dominant on the ground.
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:53.679
It just wasn't, you know.
00:11:56.559 --> 00:12:04.480
You know, we we had that fourth quarter opportunity, you know, to try to get something going.
00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:16.000
You know, we drove the Pittsburgh's five-yard line early in the fourth, you know, turned the ball over on downs after three incomplete passes on the goal line.
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:20.000
You know, and Denzel Boston, you know, great receiver.
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:22.879
I really, you know, I'm gonna give it up to him.
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:26.080
He's a great receiver, but just didn't get both his feet down.
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:38.399
And then kind of that that kind of that switched the momentum as well because I feel like if we could have scored there, that would have been that would have that would have flipped it a little bit, just a little bit.
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:41.039
At least we would have been up 13.
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:45.919
It was third at that point it had been 13 to 27, and we had two more scores.
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:57.840
You know, you know, these are questions I have for you, Dog Pound, for that at that fourth quarter.
00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:01.519
You know, was the play calling right in in that situation?
00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:05.919
What, you know, in that fourth down situation, or should we went for a field goal?
00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:11.039
You know, should Cleveland have lean more on the running game?
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:15.039
We know that answer, but these are questions I'm asking y'all.
00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:18.799
How much did Pittsburgh's pass rush influence the sequence?
00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:20.159
Hmm.
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:25.039
And could that drive have changed the feel of the game if Cleveland had scored?
00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:31.440
You know, I kind of already answered that far as the way I feel about it, but I do want to hear y'all's answers on that.
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:37.679
You know, we had opportunities, but opportunities don't count on the scoreboard unless you finish them.
00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:43.840
Now we're at the segment of Brown's Fan Court.
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:51.120
You know, we're gonna we have three cases here.
00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:55.840
These are serious cases, you know, that I feel that need to be addressed.
00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:04.320
You know, let's talk about the first case is the offensive line, and I take them to court every week until they get it fixed.
00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:06.240
This is gonna be a weekly thing.
00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:07.200
I don't care.
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:09.840
I uh, you know, at first I was feeling all bad.
00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:11.759
I keep taking the offensive line.
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:13.360
Nah, they go into court again.
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:14.320
You cannot.
00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:18.240
Last week I put myself on the record and I said they gonna get better.
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:20.480
But they gave up eight sacks this week.
00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:26.799
Last week they gave up one sack, but that was to a horrible team, and they look much better with a horrible team.
00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:33.120
When we playing a D a divisional rival, you gotta step up.
00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:39.120
You know, so case one is the offensive line.
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:42.000
I know I'm going on the ramp, but I'm upset today.
00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:48.480
The charge is failing to protect Watson and allowing eight sacks.
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:57.600
You know, the evidence, Pittsburgh's defense recorded eight sacks and limited Cleveland to 34 rushing yards.
00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:11.279
The defense is the offensive struggles involve the entire unit, and sacks can result from a combination of protection, quarterback decisions, and coverage.
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:14.559
You know, this is my verdict on it though.
00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:27.840
The offensive line, they got a lot to answer for, but the whole entire offense, it needs to be re-evaluated.
00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:32.879
Case number two, the turnover problem.
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:37.120
The charge is giving Pittsburgh two early fumbles.
00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:48.720
And the evidence is this simply, Cleveland fumbled on his first two offensive possessions, helping Pittsburgh establish control.
00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:50.799
The verdict.
00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:57.600
You cannot expect to beat a division rival when you keep giving the opponent extra opportunities.
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:02.960
Let's go with case number three.
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:05.120
The run defense.
00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:09.840
The charge is allowing 200 rushing yards.
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:15.360
The evidence is Jalen Warren rushed for 143 yards.
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:19.039
Rico Dotto, he added 56 yards.
00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:30.480
My verdict is Cleveland, y'all gotta be more physical at the line of scrimmage.
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:37.919
The defense cannot allow opponents to dictate the way the game's gonna go.
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:40.879
You can't it's just not.
00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:45.440
But this is my question for you, Dog Pound.
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:52.080
Which problem concerns you guys the most?
00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:59.200
The offensive line, the turnovers, or the run defense?
00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:02.879
Serious issues, fellas.
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:04.720
Or dog pound.
00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:11.279
Because we got women and kids and
everybody out there that's dog pound.
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:20.079
Okay, now we get to the go to the segment of Dog Pound Dumbass of the Week.
00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:23.440
I have two of them.
00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:39.119
And the one you guys probably hear constantly, and I'm trying to stay off of it, but I was gonna give them the main one, but they're gonna be the runner-up.
00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:49.279
But the main nominee for Dog Pound Dumbass of the Week is this guy, Jared Verse.
00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:58.720
Man, you was writing checks this week that your ass did not cash, you couldn't cash.
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:07.119
You went out there and said Pittsburgh is gonna be ours.
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:16.960
You said they dirty players, and when Cam Hayward answered, it's gonna be addressed.
00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:20.720
You hit him with the well, let's address it.
00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:24.000
Bruh, you didn't dress a damn thing.
00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:27.359
You got one tackle in that game, bruh.
00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:30.640
One measly ass tackle.
00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:32.400
One tackle.
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:41.839
And then had the nerve on postgame to say, yeah, we didn't do what we needed to do.
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:45.519
No, no, no, no, no, bro.
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:48.240
You didn't do what you needed to do.
00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:50.640
Everybody else stepped up.
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:56.559
Man, I'm not looking for you to be a sack mon uh monger.
00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:58.559
I'm not, that's not what I'm looking for.
00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:04.400
What I'm looking for is for you to set that edge and stop that run.
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:07.279
And you ain't doing none of that, boss.
00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:11.839
Man, I had hot hopes for you.
00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:14.480
It's looking down right now, man.
00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:21.279
I'm just telling you, and I'm telling you, Dog Pound is looking at you the same way.
00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:23.039
So it just ain't me.
00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:25.359
Not the brown hornet, it just ain't me.
00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:28.799
It's everybody, and that's how they look at you, boss.
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:30.079
You know?
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:40.079
So let that sink in, take some accountability for what you said, and work with that.
00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:47.039
The runner-up was the offensive line.
00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:52.319
I wasn't even gonna give him to him because I wasn't gonna give it to him.
00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:54.240
But I do have to.
00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:57.440
When they gave up eight sacks, you know.
00:19:58.960 --> 00:20:04.319
So but Jared Verse, you you take it away this week.
00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:05.920
You taking it away.
00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:07.920
You know.
00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:44.079
Now, we're to the segment where we go to mail the dog, and these are some questions that the listeners have sent me, and they send me send them through the the mail, the fan mail, the fan mail button on the description page on when you click on the description, or when you look at the description of what what the the episode is about, there's a button there that says fan mail, and you can put those questions in there.
00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:56.319
Or, like I said, you can either hit me on x Brown Hornet43, and it'll it'll go to all my socials from there.
00:20:57.119 --> 00:20:58.880
And, you know, we can go from there.
00:20:59.039 --> 00:20:59.680
Yeah.
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:03.359
So let's get we got this one from Jason from Parma.
00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:10.160
And he says, Who deserves the most blame for the 27-6 loss?
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:15.279
You know, I'm gonna say it was it was total team.
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:23.279
You know, the offense, they didn't produce, and the defense, they couldn't stop the run.
00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:24.720
They just couldn't stop it.
00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:29.359
You know, and that it, you know, Pittsburgh controlled the clock.
00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:38.000
That's what made us, that's what made us really lose the game because, you know, you know, the wide receivers, they weren't doing too much.
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:42.240
You know, the only person that had some a good day was really Washington.
00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:55.599
Everybody else, and and you know, of course, on the ground, Jalen Warren, you know, but other than that, man, you know, it it was total, it was a total team effort on how we lost.
00:21:55.759 --> 00:21:59.759
The office couldn't score, and we had opportunities.
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:07.519
The turnovers didn't help, you know, and those things are showing up that we talked about earlier in the year, you know.
00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:19.200
You know, the the next question is from this is from Lewis and Whitehall.
00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:25.359
And it says, is the offensive line the biggest problem on this team?
00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:29.680
And yes, I believe it is.
00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:43.599
And the reason why I say that is because giving up those sacks, not being able to protect the quarterback, not being able to establish a running game, that stuff hurts us big time.
00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:45.759
And yes, they are the biggest problem.
00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:47.680
They haven't gel yet.
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:55.839
And again, like I said, I thought last week was going to be a better, better week, but it just didn't, they just didn't show up this week.
00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:57.039
You know.
00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:03.279
And then I got another question from this is from Valerie.
00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:07.839
And she is from wow, she's from Acosta Pond.
00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:09.519
This is from London.
00:23:09.920 --> 00:23:10.240
Okay.
00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:21.440
It says, does Watson deserve credit for throwing for 324 yards, or do the zero touchdowns outweigh that production?
00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:32.799
I think that he does deserve credit
for the 324 and not turning the ball over.
00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:50.160
But the z not getting on the board with touchdowns, that outweighs everything because there were opportunities, and you know, yeah, I think it outweighs it.
00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:51.519
You know.
00:23:53.839 --> 00:24:09.519
So this question is from Cecil, and he is from Reynoldsburg, and it says, How concerned are you about Browns allowing 200 rushing yards?
00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:11.920
I'm highly concerned about that.
00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:19.200
And the reason being is because we cannot stop the run.
00:24:20.079 --> 00:24:29.680
It seems like ever since, I mean, even the second game, and you guys can y'all can correct me if I'm wrong.
00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:32.559
I'll I'll watch this with my eyes heavy.
00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:49.039
That second game, when we played the Buccaneers and we watched uh Bucky Irvin run that ball, they came up off the run and started passing.
00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:54.319
They gave us a break, I'm telling you, because they was running up and down on our ass.
00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:57.599
And we couldn't stop it then.
00:24:58.640 --> 00:25:08.960
So I'm not sure what the well, I do know what the problem is, and it's it's it's the edge, not being can being able to contain that edge.
00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:15.440
And in the middle, all those guys are kind of banged.
00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:18.880
Well, when they try to run up the middle, they kind of get stopped there.
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:23.440
But it a lot of it it's when they bounce back out and they hit the edge.
00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:28.880
So at this time, though, those guys in the middle, they're a little banged up.
00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:33.440
So it it's it that has a little bit to do with it, but it's that edge, man.
00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:35.519
And we need some help, man.
00:25:35.680 --> 00:25:36.720
We need some help.
00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:50.160
And we might, and I know I talked about this last week and what Mary Kate Cabbage said, and she said, you know, that we were looking at, you know, possibly going after Khalil Mack, and I think that wouldn't be a bad move, to be honest.
00:25:50.319 --> 00:25:52.400
We do, we need somebody on the edge, man.
00:25:52.559 --> 00:26:02.079
And then uh there's another, I think that one of the um one of the guys from the Buccaneers, Yahya, I think that's his name.
00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:08.559
I have to look it up, but that's another guy that they're looking at potentially trying to go after.
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:11.039
So we'll see, you know.
00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:27.119
You know, and so this question, I have one last question, and this is Aaron, and he's from Beachwood, and it says, what needs to change before the next game?
00:26:28.400 --> 00:26:34.000
What needs to change is there's two main things that I think need to change.
00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:42.079
And that's that offensive line, trying to figure out how to get that protection right.
00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:47.839
And the next thing that needs to change is figuring out how to stop the run.
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:50.079
We gotta figure that out, man.
00:26:50.240 --> 00:26:59.440
I don't know what it is that we need to do, but this is that's something that we need to figure out quickly.
00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:11.200
You know, I'm gonna put a poll up, and it's gonna be on my ex account, and it'll be on my it'll be on my all my account 10.
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:16.000
The poll will be what was the biggest problem against Pittsburgh?
00:27:16.240 --> 00:27:23.839
The offensive line, the turnovers, the run defense, or failure to finish drives.
00:27:24.160 --> 00:27:27.920
And I'm gonna put that poll up and then we'll I'll go over some responses.
00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:31.119
We'll we'll see how see what you think, Dog Pal.
00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:32.000
Okay.
00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:37.119
Now we're on the uh segment of put it on the record.
00:27:39.119 --> 00:27:52.799
You know, this is a segment where I try to hold myself accountable, and like I said, I held myself accountable last week for last week, me stating that the offensive line, they're gonna get a little better, and that that crap didn't happen at all.
00:27:53.119 --> 00:28:09.279
So this is some this is some things that I've you know I'm putting out there and I'm putting myself on the record about saying, you know, you know, again, can we reduce the sacks and give Deshaun Watson more time?
00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:11.920
I don't think so, man.
00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:15.359
I think there's something, there's something missing.
00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:23.839
And I'm not sure if it's just the young guys, but I tell you, I tell you one thing that I really truly think.
00:28:24.160 --> 00:28:26.160
Titus Howard, he sucks.
00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:28.240
And he needs to go away.
00:28:28.559 --> 00:28:44.720
Those penalties we had yesterday, we had, I believe we had eight penalties, and out of the eight of them, I believe he was, he had three of the eight.
00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:48.559
This guy, he's just, he's just not, he ain't it, man.
00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:49.920
He just not it.
00:28:50.880 --> 00:28:54.000
So that's my thoughts on that.
00:28:54.079 --> 00:28:56.880
And I'm a I'm, you know, I'm ranting today.
00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:07.039
So, you know, the next thing I think that we need to do is try to rebuild this running game.
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:13.680
And I've discussed this in detail on some things that I thought they did a very good job last week.
00:29:13.759 --> 00:29:22.480
They they ran the ball from under center 21 times, you know, using the fullback a lot of the times out of the eye.
00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:24.960
That's stuff, you know, those things work work great.
00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:34.319
But I heard the also I heard the offensive coordinator, he talked about that last week, and he said they did that because they were they weren't
chasing and they were ahead.
00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:35.519
That makes a lot of sense.
00:29:35.599 --> 00:29:39.599
But at the same time, you gotta do something to start establishing the run.
00:29:39.759 --> 00:29:50.960
And if you can do that to make start establishing something, start establishing the run, then you have a you have a great formula, but you gotta do something.
00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:52.160
You gotta do something.
00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:54.079
We can't keep chasing, man.
00:29:54.160 --> 00:30:04.079
You know, you know, I think they can be more effective on the ground just to take a lot of that pressure off that passing attack.
00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:08.079
Man, we gotta be more just we can't be one-dimensional.
00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:15.519
And if they go with that, if they start doing that, I think they'll the running game will start, it'll get much better.
00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:26.960
You know, you know, the last thing is I think that you know, we gotta start finishing drives.
00:30:27.119 --> 00:30:40.880
You know, I we need to start converting you know these drives into touchdowns instead of field goals.
00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:46.480
And I think that again, that goes back to the running game and having a balanced attack.
00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:49.279
And if we can do that, I think that'll that'll happen.
00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:51.519
So we'll see how that goes.
00:30:52.319 --> 00:31:03.920
A lot of this, I can't really put myself on the record for to try to say that, you know, we're gonna protect the quarterback or rebuild the running game or even finish the drives.
00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:13.839
It's all all that stuff depends on how you know how we do with how we scheme it up.
00:31:14.319 --> 00:31:22.319
You know, you know, we're five and three right now, and this loss, it don't erase everything the Browns have they done this season.
00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:27.039
But um, but it does show us what happens when we lose a physical battle.
00:31:27.279 --> 00:31:32.160
You know, turning the ball over and failing to finish drives.
00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:35.920
You know, the response next week that matters heavily.
00:31:36.079 --> 00:31:38.799
You know, that's it's a big deal.
00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:42.640
All right, dog pound.
00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:48.079
Therapy is officially in session.
00:31:49.200 --> 00:31:53.839
We lost to Pittsburgh 27-6.
00:31:54.480 --> 00:31:56.319
We're 5-3 now.
00:31:56.559 --> 00:32:00.319
And the Steelers, they sitting on top of the AFC North.
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:02.000
They the Kings of the North now.
00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:04.559
A couple weeks ago, I was Kings of the North.
00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:06.160
Yeah, nah, not now.
00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:09.359
Let's be honest, though.
00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:15.200
You know, we got beat up, you know, got our ass tore up up front.
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:21.519
You know, eight sacks, 34 rushing yards, two early fumbles, and didn't get one touchdown.
00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:29.839
You know, that that ain't gonna get it against none of these teams, especially in our division.
00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:36.160
You know, Harold Fannon gave us something to be excited about with 154 receiving yards.
00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:39.359
Deshaun Watson, he threw for 324.
00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:45.519
But yards, they don't mean nothing when you can't finish drives and put points on the board.
00:32:45.759 --> 00:33:04.640
You know, now we, you know, now we gotta figure out how to protect the quarterback, get the rushing game going, and make sure this defense they don't get pushed around like they can't get pushed around like that no more.
00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:12.480
One loss don't define the season, but how we respond is gonna tell us a whole lot about this team.
00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:18.319
Remember, Dog pal, none of y'all crazy.
00:33:18.880 --> 00:33:20.400
You just a brown fan.
00:33:21.039 --> 00:33:25.200
I'm brown hornet, same team, different weeks.
00:33:25.839 --> 00:33:26.559
See you next time.
