Browns Game Thread Week 10 Texans @ Browns Nov.15 1PM on Fox

Not only are the Browns the second youngest team in the NFL (#1 is Miami), the youth is at key positions, they have an entirely new coaching staff, new (and first time) HC, new offense. They are going to have penalties. That is the reality. The question comes down to can they improve over the year.

But the good news is Houston commits only 1.1 penalties a game less than the Browns.

Seems like Watson doesn't trust his receivers to fight for the ball until later in the game when he has no choice. At least Sanders put the ball out there. Boston showed he's gonna win those 50/50 balls more often than not. Got KC in the open so he could do his thing and, well, Fannin is just nuts.

And Boston isnt done physically developing.. Wait until he gets a bigger upper body..
 
In the OP, it was mentioned that the Texans D has the most sacks (it does) and the Texans O has the fewest turnover (it does).

What wasn't mentioned is:
On Offense they have -
The 4th fewest rushing yards
The 2nd fewest 20+ yard rushes (1; 25yds)
On Defense they have -
The 4th fewest forced fumbles
The 6th fewest INT's

This team is not the Texans from last year. I personally don't think it is a game that anybody needs to be protected against.
 
I'd so much rather let Sanders play than Watson. Our offense is actually healthy, and there's some hope, unlike last year when we were down to nearly all 2nd and 3rd stringers with no hope.
 
BTW, it is not Wednesday and still no announcement. Today is the first 'practice' of the week, and it is closed to media. I don't think we know until at least tomorrow, more likely Friday when they announce the inactives.
 
I personally don't agree with the decision (and not because I don't like DW). I honestly think this puts the Browns right back to the 'how long of a chain' situation. SS played well the last quarter and OT. He put things on tape the DW hasn't so far this year. Yes, DW was the QB for the 5-3 start, but it is far more like Minnesota than anyone seems willing to admit. The wins were in-spite-of his play, not because of it. It was the Defense winning the games.

Difference is, Minnesota has moved on from their ineffective QB's...and the Browns seem stuck.

What happens if DW doesn't play well again? Do we then stay with him anyway or swing back to SS.

To me this decision is kicking the can down the road.
