Quarterback Deshaun Watson might not feel on the same page as his teammates right now, but his coaches can't say if that's the underlying issue.
BEREA, Ohio — When the Browns lost running back Nick Chubb to a brutal knee injury Monday night against the Steelers, the moment threw them off their game.
It's not an easy thing to do, but after dedicating the season to Chubb, the heaviness that came Monday aims to be lifted with a successful bounce back Sunday.For two straight weeks, the Browns defense has shown it has what it takes to win games. Cleveland is among just three teams, the Cowboys and Saints included, that has allowed just one touchdown drive through the first two games. The Browns are tied for third in passing yards allowed and third in rushing yards allowed .
“For myself, it’s just being on the same page with everybody else, and that's just going with the protection-wise to the coverage-wise to what we're thinking about with Kevin—if it's going to be a four-down situation, if it's a third-down situation, if I need to take the shots, if I don't need to take the shots and things like that," Watson said.
"We had some injuries, so we had a rookie tackle that came in, so we had to change things up a little bit protection-wise. Nick went out early on, so some young running backs got to come in protection-wise. And then some of the receivers – Coop, he was a guy that came along during camp. He didn't get too many reps. Elijah is new to the system with live bullets, so we didn't get too many live bullets in real games.
On the All-22, players can be seen open throughout Monday's game. There were blocking issues along the line that led to Watson being forced to make quick decisions, but many of his throws were placed poorly, to a receiver's backside or with no anticipation. Watson was sacked six times, losing 25 yards. He fumbled twice.
