I would like to lodge a complaint with NFL broadcasters. When you use a white line to denote the LOS on a field with white yard markers it can be confusing. Stick with blue LOS, yellow first down. Could y’all send that up the ladder for me?

The usual keys apply to the Cleveland game. Take care of the ball, limit turnovers, limit penalties, etc., but I think a key to this game will be the number of short fields the defense can create. Flacco’s lack of mobility should allow for multiple sack/takeaway opportunities. Do you agree?

In theory, sure. I’m actually more concerned about the Packers not giving a struggling Browns offense any short fields, either via turnover or a big return. If Cleveland repeatedly has to go the long way, it could have a very hard time Sunday.

Sunday against the Browns brings Myles Garrett into the conversation as a player you have to keep track of and keep away from Jordan Love. Are there any other players to watch for on the Browns’ defense?

One of their top LBs, Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, is currently on PUP. But they have Greg Newsome II to go with Denzel Ward at corner, Devin Bush at Sam LB, and two high draft picks starting as rookies in the middle of the unit – Mason Graham (No. 5 overall) at DT and Carson Schwesinger (No. 33) at Mike LB. It’s an intriguing age mix that appears to have a lot going for it.

It’s impressive that Cleveland only surrendered 23 rushing yards to King Henry. How much of that is credited to CLE’s defense and how much of that is attributed to the fact that BAL and CLE are divisional rivals? We all know divisional games are completely different compared to inter-conference games.

True, but familiarity or not, you still have to stop him. Henry’s 11 carries vs. Cleveland went as follows: 1 yard, minus-4, minus-2, 8, 2, 1, 8, 2, 6, 1, 0. So eight of 11 attempts went for 2 yards or less, and Henry actually fumbled on the first 8-yarder (recovered by Baltimore). Even without resounding success running the ball, though, staying committed to it will be important to keep that pass rush honest.

Who is the “must stop” player on the Browns’ offense? They’ve been in their two games this season until later on when Baltimore pulled away. How does GB manage a tough defense while not growing impatient on offense?

RB Quinshon Judkins is working his way into a full-time role, and I’ve always thought TE David Njoku is a tough cover. Jerry Jeudy had his best season with 1,200 receiving yards last year.

Mike, it’s way too early, but this seems to be a defense that is not reliant on turnovers. This is not the “bend but don’t break” and yield yardage between the 20s in the hope of a mistake, a turnover or tightening up in the phone booth portion of the field type of defense. Has the lack of fumbles or INTs been a reflection of the quality of the opponent? Do you think there may be more TOs in their future?

A sizable percentage of turnovers comes from pressuring the QB. Rushed/forced throws, deflections, strip-sacks, etc. This defense gets after QBs. If that continues, I expect the turnovers to follow at some point.

Hey II, absolutely love all of the content! By far the most even-keeled information I can get on the Packers. My question is with how quickly this defense attacks, if I’m an offensive coordinator game planning for them wouldn’t it be smart to throw a fair sampling of misdirection at them? Curious on your thoughts about this.

The defense’s greatest single attribute, in my opinion, is speed, and misdirection is usually a more slow-developing concept, so I don’t know. I’m expecting teams to start utilizing the quick passing game to beat the pass rush, and then if that’s established, pick their spots to take shots. We’ll see.
