On The Mark 10.10.16: New England Patriots @ Cleveland Browns Recap

Guess who's back?  The Patriots dismantle the Browns 33-13 as Tom Brady returns from suspension
By Mark West, @Markw2112

Today was the day many in the NFL waited for, the return of the New England Patriots Tom Brady from his 4 game suspension for his part in "Deflategate" 2 years ago with their Super Bowl win.  And, like clockwork, Brady stepped in like he never left, destroying the Cleveland Browns defense on it's way to a decisive 33-13 win.  The Browns were never any match for the Patriots either on offense or defense.

Brady finished the game 28-of-40 for 406 yards and 3 touchdowns.  He made it look effortless against a Browns defense that stood no chance.  He threw to 7 different receivers, including Martellus Bennett who caught all 3 of Brady's touchdowns.  Chris Hogan and Rob Gronkowski both had over 100 yards rushing with Gronk setting up the first touchdown of the day by shedding blockers like they were paper dolls.  

As for the Browns, it was a step backwards against the mighty Patriots.  Cody Kessler had a good start, going 5-of-8 for 62 yards with a touchdown to Andrew Hawkins.  However, Kessler would leave the game with neck and chest pain after a blown call led to a crushing sack, making Kessler lose the ball which then went out of bounds in the end zone for a safety.  Bring in Charlie Whitehurst, just signed a few weeks ago, who would lead the Browns to a late game touchdown but wasn't very effective.  He did go for 14-of-24 for 182 yards and that touchdown and an interception Near the end of the game, Whitehurst was hurt which led to Terrelle Pryor to be the third quarterback of the day for a series.

The run game, which had been so good the previous weeks, was shut to a stand still by the Patriots line.  Isaiah Crowell only rushed for 22 yards on 13 carries.

Thoughts: It was a step backwards for the Browns.  The worst part was having 3 quarterbacks in one game due to injuries. Injuries, bad luck and no respect from the referees can be blamed, but the biggest reason why the Browns are so bad is the lack of talent on the roster.  It's going to take years for the Browns to get any kind of respectability.  The long road keeps getting longer though.  

Player of the game: Tom Brady was unstoppable.  

Next up:  the Browns travel to Tennessee to play the Titans next week at 1 PM.

Browns Preview 10.7.16: New England Patriots @ Cleveland Browns

By Katelin Marshall, @KatelinKnowsCLE

The 3-1 New England Patriots travels to Cleveland to take on the 0-4 Browns. Both teams lost last week. The Patriots lost 16-0 to the Buffalo Bills at home. The Browns lost to the Redskins 31-20 in Washington. This week marks the return of Tom Brady, who was serving a four game suspension for "Deflate Gate".

Browns Offense vs Patriots Defense

The Browns running game is ranked first in the league with 142 yards per game. So we should expect the Browns to continue to run the ball since the Patriots are giving up 100 yards per game on the ground this year. Isaiah Crowell and Duke Johnson should get 30 carries between the two. The Browns need to control the time of possession. Like last week, the Bills ran for 134 yards on 32 carries but most importantly they controlled the ball for 36 mins.

The passing game with Kessler should continue to do what they do. A lot of slant routes with Terrelle Pryor, check downs passes to Duke Johnson, and find his "ole' reliable" target Gary Barnidge. The Patriots are going to bring presser at times and stack the box, so expect more passes down field. Kessler is getting more comfortable in the NFL and its his first home start of his young career, so Hue Jackson might bring out all the stops to upset the Patriots.

The last key for the Browns to win is to continue to convert on third down. Last week the Browns were 8/12 on third down and they have a 42% conversion percentage this year, which ranks 13th in the NFL. Converting third downs help the time of possession and obviously helps the Browns get into scoring position.

*Note John Greco is the starting center this week, Alvin Bailey is projected to start at right guard this week.


Browns Defense vs Patriots Offense

Tom Brady is back. Rob Gronkowski is close to 100%. And LeGarrette Blount is third in rushing yards just behind Isaiah Crowell.

Tom Brady is a question mark this week. Everyone expects him to throw for 500 yards and 4 touchdowns, but he hasn't played since the preseason. The Browns need to get pressure to Brady and knock him down so he doesn't get into a rhythm early. But Brady has all of his offense weapons this week: Gronk, Julian Edelman, and Martellus Bennett. This might be one of those games where the Browns need to force the Pats to run the ball.

LeGarrette Blount is a top rusher in the NFL and he's also one of the biggest backs in the league. Blount should get a ton of touches so the Pats can ease Brady into the game. Blount is averaging four yards per carry and he has four touchdowns. James White is the pass catching back for the Pats. White has 13 catches this year and is a really good change of pace back to spell Blount.

The Browns need to force the ground game and get pressure to Tom Brady. The Browns are going to have to pick their spots like always because of the youth of the defense.


Five Guys to Watch

Isaiah Crowell: Crowell should get an increase in carries this week. If he can go for at least 80 yards against the Patriots defense, when they know the run is coming, Crowell should be in the discussion as one of the better backs in the league. And like stated before, Crowell's success this week should keep the Browns in this game.

Gary Barnidge: Barnidge has caught 16/18 passes to him this year. This week he should get a ton of targets and have a breakout game this week since the Pats will try to take away the running game and Terrelle Pryor.

Carl Nassib (Hopefully): Nassib was back to practice this week. He is still questionable for this week but if Nassib can play limited snaps he will really help the pass rush with Ogbah and Cam Johnson.

Derrick Kindred: Kindred will be matched up against Gronk or Bennett. It could be a long day for him. But as long as he does his job Kendred shouldn't be exposed to badly this week. This match up personifies the term "tryout year".

Joe Haden: Haden will be up against Edelman this week. Haden has to lock down the lake this week and help force an interception. Haden will be up against not just Edelman but the tight ends too while in the redzone. As the superstar player on defense Haden needs to step up against the elite playmakers of the Patriots.




Injury Report 
Weather Report
Betting Line: Patriots -10.5

Prediction: Patriots 34 - Browns 21

This game can go either way. But expect the Browns to lose and the Patriots to cover the spread late. The Browns will play well like the first four weeks but they just can't pull it out. Another morale win for the Browns but another frustrating game to watch for the fans...at least the Tribe plays at 4pm.

Leadoff with Lee 9.1.15: #Indians #KirkCousins #TomBrady #Buckeyes

By @cleeverizon

- The Indians confirmed yesterday that Mark Shapiro will be leaving the organization after 24 years to become President/CEO of the Toronto BlueJays.

Shapiro says at this point, he's not looking to bring anyone with him from the Indians to Toronto. Indians principal owner Larry Dolan also added, "I'm confident Terry Francona will be the manager for the Indians for a long time." Once the season is over, Indians CEO Paul Dolan will seek internal candidates for the job of President of the Indians. Dolan will serve as interim President until the position is filled.

- Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett has been named a captain of the 2015 Buckeyes. Joining him are senior H-back Braxton Miller, senior center Jacoby Boren, junior safety Tyvis Powell, senior offensive tackle Taylor Decker and senior linebacker Joshua Perry.

- Long time Buffalo Bills staple, Fred Jackson was cut by the Bills on Monday. Jackson, who has rushed for 5,646 yards in his Bills career, will finish as the Bills’ third-leading rusher all-time, behind Thurman Thomas (11,938) and O.J. Simpson (10,183). The New England Patriots and Cleveland Browns are early front runners to land “Fred-X”.

- Kirk Cousins has been named the week one starter for the Washington Redskins over Robert Griffin III. Jay Gruden says Griffin lost his starting job not because of his injury, but due to Kirk's performance. Griffin's clearance from the concussion is still entirely up to the league protocol and he’ll see his doctor on Friday. It seems that the RG3 and Redskins relationship is nearing an end.

- Over the weekend, the Atlanta Falcons & receiver Julio Jones agreed to a 5-year deal worth $47.5 million guaranteed & $71.25 million over 5 years.

- Ric Bucher, of Bleacher Report, is reporting that Tristan Thompson will only re-sign long-term with the Cavaliers if he is offered a max deal. If no offer materializes, he would take the one-year qualifying offer, which agent Rich Paul has already threatened the Cavaliers with. Per Bucher’s source, Paul believes that he could get Thompson a max deal with the Toronto Raptors in 2016.

- The Browns cut the roster to 84 Monday as the waived WR Shane Wynn and TE Anthony Ezeakunne. The team also terminated the contracts of LB Everette Brown, LB Moise Fokou, RB Jalen Parmale & DB Aaron Ross.

- No settlement has been reached in The Tom Brady/DeflateGate case. The is Judge expected to make decision today or Wednesday. Speculation is he will either stand with the four game suspension, or no at all. An appeal is expected by the losing party.

John Mara was apart of the talks yesterday at the judge's request. Jay Feely, union executive and one of Brady's best friends, was also in attendance. The NFL previously have turned down the judge's request to have Mara in settlement talks. This case conceivably could go to Supreme Court if the parties are not satisfied with the courts ruling. The NFL has never made formal settlement offer, but indicated they were willing to cut the suspension to 3 games if Brady admitted guilt. Brady refused to sign the document admitting any wrongdoing. He was willing to take a fine for not cooperating. If the NFL loses, why appeal and drag this out? Because it doesn't want players going to court whenever they object to discipline.

- Former Browns running back and 2012 NFL Draft 3rd overall pick Trent Richardson was cut by the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders guaranteed Trent Richardson $600,000 this year. The Raiders were Richardson's 3rd team in 4 seasons. Richardson was drafted by the Browns, traded to the Colts and now finally, signed, then released with the Raiders.

- There is a chance Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving may not be available for the season opener on October 27th when the team visits the Chicago Bulls. While rehabilitation has been going smoothly, the Cavs are in no rush to plug him back into the starting lineup. The original 3-4 month timetable for his return has been slightly altered so he can at 100% and be fresh for the playoffs with so setbacks. According to one team source, Irving maybe out until January. In his absence, the Cavs have newly acquired Mo Williams and the re-signed Matthew Dellavedova to hold down the position until his return.

- The Browns worked out and signed reserve quarterback Pat Devlin yesterday. He is listed at 6’3”, 220 pounds and is in his third season out of Delaware. Devlin, 27, was originally signed by the Miami Dolphins in 2011 and played with them until 2013. He was apart of the Minnesota Vikings quarterback group in 2014 and spent part of the 2015 offseason with the Chicago Bears. It’s not expected for Devlin to be a long term solution for the Browns, as he is expected to get cut when the roster needs to be trimmed down to 53 on September 5th. He is nothing more than a camp arm to give Johnny Manziel a chance to rest his sore elbow for the remainder of the preseason.

The Browns released OL Ryan Seymour to make room for Devlin. Seymour is currently serving a four game suspension for use of PEDs.

- Yesterday's Browns Berea Bike Brigade included Phil Taylor (DL), Ish Kitchen (DL), Michael Bowie (OL), Justin Gilbert (DB), Robert Nelson (DB) and K'Waun Williams (DB).

- Here’s the uniform combination for Saturday’s Browns vs. Buccaneers game:

- Steelers WR Martavis Bryant is facing 4-game suspension for violating the NFL’s Substance Abuse Policy. The NFLPA and Bryant are appealing the suspension. This was will be Bryant's second violation since entering the NFL in 2014.

- Green Bay's Letroy Guion is suspended the first three games of the season for violating the NFL’s Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse.

- The details of the Patriots and Reggie Wayne contract have been disclosed and it is incentive laced. Wayne's 1-year deal is worth up to $2.3M and his contract includes a $1.1 million base salary which becomes fully guaranteed if he is on the Week 1 roster. The deal also has a roster bonus worth as much as $750,000 ($46,875 per game) and incentives up to $500,000 ($250,000 for 55 catches and $500,000 for 65 catches).

- Former Sixers and Nets star Darryl Dawkins has passed away at the age of 58. He earned his nickname of "Chocolate Thunder" for his rim shattering dunks. Dawkins was the first player ever drafted straight to the NBA out of high school. He averaged 14 points, 6 rebounds and 1 block in his 14 seasons in the NBA.
