Instant Recap: Browns Defeat Packers 27-24

It might be just a preseason game, but there were a lot of positives to take out of the Cleveland Browns' 27-24 victory over the Green Bay Packers, especially when you compare it to how we played in last year's preseason game against them.
Quarterback Jake Delhomme only played one series, but that was enough for him: the veteran was 6-of-7 for 66 yards, making good reads and accurate passes as the Browns marched down the field against the Packers' first-string defense. When the Browns were four yards away from the end zone, running back Jerome Harrison punched it in for the four-yard score.
The Browns got the ball right back after Packers running back Ryan Grant fumbled on the team's first play. Backup quarterback Seneca Wallace then entered the game early in the first quarter, with all of the first stringers still playing. On third down, he rolled out far to his left and fired a picture perfect strike to second-year wide receiver Brian Robiskie for a 13-yard touchdown.
With the Browns up to a quick 14-0 advantage, Aaron Rodgers quickly got to work though and was a quarterback machine. He directed the Packers to back-to-back touchdown drives, having no problem diagnosing where the Browns were blitzing from every play. Even with the Browns' defenders having decent coverage, it didn't matter -- the passes were that good. Rodgers finished the game 12-of-13 for 159 yards and 1 touchdown, but he saw action well into the second quarter.
Although Rodgers was very good, it's worth noting that safety T.J. Ward had an outstanding game, tackling better than Browns fans have seen any of their members of the secondary tackle in a long time.
It wasn't the greatest debut for Browns rookie quarterback Colt McCoy, who threw two bad interceptions and ended up leaving the game after he banged his throwing hand on the helmet of an offensive lineman. The second half was pretty uneventful offensively until the final two minutes, when the Browns brought on Phil Dawson to attempt an incredible 58-yarder. Dawson drilled it with another yard or two to spare, which tied the game at 24-24. The Browns' defense quickly forced a punt, and Ratliff got the offense down the field in less than a minute to set up Dawson's game-winning 46-yard field goal.

My player of the game: Tuba Rubin. Forced a fumble and helped to hold the Packers to 14 yards rushing inthe first half.
Honorable mention: TJ Ward and Phil Dawson.

Didn’t Ward get beat on the Packers’ first TD pass? I was only watching the game occasionally because I was at a restaurant with some family but it seemed like he made some mistakes in coverage.
. . . says the man from Columbus.
It depends how much you want to deem it a mistake vs. a good catch and throw. Joe Haden was lined up on the receiver and then blitzed. Ward came over to cover Greg Jennings streaking down the sideline and had his back to the play. He stuck his hands up in an attempt to guess the ball’s arrival, but it was placed just right for the score.
Ward also had a crack at bringing the fullback down on the Packers’ second touchdown. It was far from a perfect game from Ward, but I wanted to see some good tackling and I don’t think he disappointed.

The TD pass was a very good throw. Ward needs to first be 1/2 step closer so that he doesn’t have to worry about making up ground and can turn his head and look for the ball. If he finds himself in that position where he is trailing, he needs to fight the WR’s hands better.
Haden did a nice job of disguising the blitz on the play. Ward didn’t do too poorly considering he had to cover Greg Jennings and he was supposed to be some sort of epic liability in coverage if you listen to some scouting reports. He can easily make up that 1/2 step by doing a better job of getting in Jennings’ way and using his body positioning to re-route Jennings.

Thats reassuring. Sounds like as long as Ward remains coachable, he won’t be near the weakness in coverage as some people thought he’d be. I have to admit, I am getting a bit excited about our defense this season. Its a high ceiling/low floor kind of situation IMO.
Moisture is the essence of wetness.
As an aside: In Mangini’s post game press conference, his explanation of Ward’s coverage on that play was exactly as you explained here and as you explained to me in the game thread.

Ward had an awesome first game. Yes he got beat on the TD pass but Rodgers was stupid good on his throws tonight. He placed them perfectly with the exception of one and that throw was pretty good to but they threw it at Brown. Ward had some awesome open field tackles and he laid the wood on Flynn. I can only imagine how good he will get as the year progresses.

I don’t think he got beat as much as it was a perfect throw and catch. Mostly the coverage was really good, except for when sheldon brown got run out of his drawers.

Brown also gets credit for breaking up one of those blind, back shoulder throws, if you are going to burn him for getting burned.
It was a very good throw and catch, but Ward can get to the point where he is breaking that pass up. I posted a back and forth with Golan about it in the game thread.

but Ward can get to the point where he is breaking that pass up
but I wouldn’t realistically expect him to be at the point where he is breaking that pass up with any sort of consistency. However, from what I remember, he was only a couple steps behind the guy and he DID get burned, but in context of him being a rookie, this being the first preseason game, and him not being known for his coverage skills, its not AS bad. he got burned, but i honestly wouldn’t have expected him to do better than he did.

He could have literally reached up more and deflected the ball at the last second.
If you are that close to a guy, you have to fight his hands, you have to rip one of his arms off the ball. If he pins it to his helmet and maintains possession through ground contact, there wasn’t much more you can do. But you gotta fight his hands either way.

Overall, Ward was solid I would say. He got beat, but considering he was trying to guard Jennings and it was an almost perfect throw, it was not terrible coverage. it was not great, but he got beat less than those scouting reports about his coverage skills would suggest. Plus, he laid out some very nice hits.

Watching the first drive again, Green Bay has Charles Woodson following Josh Cribbs around quite a bit, guarding him in the slot, guarding him out wide. A little curious that they were worried enough to put their best CB on him.

Because he's our best play maker?
We all know the potential for the game breaker with Cribbs hands on the ball and so does the Packers D.

but how many times has he managed to get his hands on the ball as a WR? If I were an opposing D-coordinator, I would love to see Cribbs lined up at wide out all the time.

Putting Woodson on MoMass is a waste. Use your best defender on the teams best weapon.
Woodson guards all positions. If I am remembering correctly, Woodson covers Greg Olsen when they play the Bears.
by Bernie19Kosar on Aug 15, 2010 10:40 PM EDT up reply actions
I would say use him against the teams best weapon in the passing game. Cribbs is maybe more of a threat in the passing game than the running game. I agree put him on your best weapon, but your best weapon in the passing game. Would you put him on Adrian Peterson? No, I would put him on Sidney Rice. MoMass had a very good rookie season and IS our #1 receiver.

But he doesn’t have to get it as a WR, he can line up as a WR and then take handoffs etc. like we had him do last year off of the IS zone stuff. My guess was that they thought Cribbs could break a play if he got the ball, so don’t let him get the ball. Then live and die with our other WRs on their 2nd and 3rd CBs/Safeties.

bross, this is your question:
Why your best CB who is a pro bowler on a marginal receiver?
Here’s the answer:
My guess was that they thought Cribbs could break a play if he got the ball, so don’t let him the ball. Then live and die with our other WRs on their 2nd and 3rd CBs/Safeties.
IMO other teams view our WR corp as one of the team’s weaknesses. MoMass had a good but not stellar season and Robo had a lousy season. Obviously they viewed Cribbs as the biggest threat and put their best player on him. As rufio brought out, this can work to our advantage if teams continue to line their up #1 CB on Cribbs to free up MoMass and Robo. We’ll see if the other teams adjust after this week.
Colt McCoy... the cure for Cleveland's Eric Berry man-crush.
I am not denying that lining their #1CB up is GOOD for us, I just thought them doing that didn’t make SENSE. I do see why a team would do it, but I personally wouldn’t if I was the other team. Woodson is a very good tackling CB and is reigning DPOY so if they do hand it off to Cribbs, I can see him stuffing cribbs. However, a CB like Revis or Asante Samuel are not great run stuffers so in that case, It wouldn’t make sense to me, because though those guys are great, I dunno how effective they would be at stuffing cribbs running the ball.
It does make some sense for Charles Woodson to guard cribbs b/c they are both versatile, but putting a cover corner like a Samuel or a Revis on him wouldn’t be as effective and would be a waste of their skills considering Cribbs’ marginal ability as a receiver.

Great Game
The Packers are a good team and possibly superbowl contenders. That we held them at all , much less forced the fumble and recovered the others was Great! Delhomme could be stopped only by Mangini. The Packers sure couldn’t stop him. He found the open reciever time and again. The line held. The D had trouble but against one of the highest scoring teams in football. We’ve come a long way, baby! Feels good!
Hard not to feel positive about this team. If you scripted the entire game you couldn’t have written anything better.
Even seeing McCoy get extended time in the first half is huge. Now he can sit back the rest of the season and learn with the knowledge of the speed of the game.

Finally!
Positives- Browns had the “look” of a NFL team. The starting wide receivers got open and the QBs actually got them the ball! The running game looked like they had a clue. I don’t think we are in for the “agony” that was put on the field for us to cheer for last year, thank God. BTW, nice play calling from start to finish.
Negatives- Not much of a pass rush. Rodgers had all day to throw.
Sure , it was only one game but I doubt we we’ll be looking for things to do on Sundays this fall.
I'm Polish...what's your excuse?
I think Ryan's D will look anything but vanilla, once the games begin to count.

We didn’t do a good job of disguising and timing the blitzes. I hope they work on that soon.
Better coverage will help give the blitzes time to get there (i.e. once Wright comes back and we don’t have Mike Adams as the #3). Except that one throw on the fade/stop to Haden’s guy, that is pretty much unstoppable.
"Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital." - Aaron Levenstein
From what Coach Mangini said in one of his press conferences, they were simply using this game to see how well certain things transitioned from the practice field to the game and thus to see what they needed to work on. So, while I would have liked to see better, I’m not too worried – yet.
While I am not too worried either, timing and disguising blitzes is something the defense should be working on often, especially with Ryan at the helm. Something about the blitzing isn’t translating to the game yet.

we had a good pass rush. Their line did protect better than last year (guys back from injuries, bulaga). Plus, Rodgers was getting the ball of quickly and not getting fazed when we pressured him the pass rush was ineffective, but not because it was never around him. I have to give credit to Rodgers for making our pass rush look worse than it was.

In the olden days the best would play. Nowadays benching or cutting the fluffered up players is seen as expensive, thus Delhomme. I´m still for a baptism by fire for Colt McCoy, how else will we know whether we should look for quarterbacks in next year´s draft. He´s certainly not the type of player you would get to potentially not start in the end.
I totally disagree with you. We have two QBs who are better then McCoy and I see no reason to let a rookie lose games for us while we have them. Honestly I dont think we need to even bother to care about McCoy starting while we have Wallace on the team. Let him take his time like they did with Rodgers and develop him slowly and maybe we will get Rodgers 2.0.

Now that we´ve solved the Anderson/Quinn predicament it´s right back into the next uncertainty. People will think it´s endemic to Browns management. Either we merit Colt McCoy his chance to show he can be a top quarterback, or we can start looking for one in college action this year. I don´t see the point in leaving a player of potential simmering in the depth chart.

Rodgers simmered for more then a few years, came in and was outstanding. I think McCoy needs to be treated the same way. Give him a few years to learn, put some more muscle on his scrawny butt, and have a chance to develop.
Besides we have Jake and Seneca for the next 2 years as well. I think Seneca could be around longer since he hasnt taken alot of abuse so far. No need to rush anything.

Some preseason games are bigger than others, and to me this was not “only a preseason game”. First we have struggled for QB leadership, and Jake himself was simply horrendous last year. So for him to lead a drive like that will make the rest of the preseason go better. Secondly, Mangini has seemed to become a little more player friendly, and for the team to come out like that will probably help cement the team together, and more cohesively than last year. Finally, TJ Ward is the key to the defense this year. If he is a player, the Browns have a chance for a nice defense, and he looked like a keeper. Nice start Browns, and continue to build on that momentum!

I didn’t get to watch the game, thank you charter, but I did watch the highlights.
From what I saw, the first INT of McCoy’s he threw off his back foot. He didn’t have a rush in his face, just looked like a bad habit. He never should have thrown the pass in the first place.
I hope Delhomme can keep this going.
Thanks for the awesome write-up Chris.

His own lineman was getting pushed back into him. Better footwork could help him step into the throw/avoid the pressure, but it looked to me like he didn’t have many other options than throwing the ball to that route. He should have stepped into the throw and put it where it was a TD or 4 yards out of bounds.
"Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital." - Aaron Levenstein
You guys may have discussed it in the in game thread, and if so I apologize, but do yall think there was any particular rationale in bringing Delhomme out after just one drive? Do you think they wanted to see Seneca with the first team O against many of the first team defenders? Or do you guys think they simply wanted to keep Jake healthy? I didn’t get to watch the game, and I doubt I’ll be able to catch the replay unless I can get to somewhere with NFL channel, so I have to ask: was the play calling as vanilla as I expected? I know its preseason and we don’t want to tip our hand too much.
Moisture is the essence of wetness.
As far as Jake goes, he played a series and looked great. why bother with the risk of sending him out there again, both from a physical and mental standpoint?

by notthatnoise on Aug 15, 2010 6:20 PM EDT up reply actions
I don’t know if the coaches planned taking Jake out after one series or not. There are advantages and disadvantages to weigh in taking him out that early. My guess is that making sure they saw Seneca against a 1st string defense won out over letting Delhomme get more in-game chemistry with his targets.
The playcalling had us in many more 3+WR* formations than I expected. On the first series, we had:
Three plays with 2 backs, 1 TE
One play with 1 back, 2 TE
One play with 2 backs, 2 TE
One play with 4 WR, 1 back
Three plays with 1 back, 1 TE, and
the critical 4th and 1 was 4 WR, 1TE.
Opening sequence was:
Pass
Pass
Run
Pass
Run
Pass
Pass
Pass
Run
Pass
Run
For a total of 7 passes, 4 runs.
*I may have mistakenly counted Evan Moore, Watson, or other players as WRs if they were aligned as WRs, especially if they didn’t catch the ball.
"Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital." - Aaron Levenstein
To me, this seems like two things:
1) The staff wanted to see how Jake would do with the passing game right off the bat.
2) They wanted to see if we could pass when we had to. Our first stringers were up against a team that ranked (I forget which) either first or second in the NFL in rushing defense. Obviously if you’re up against a team that good at stopping the run you have to be able to pass in order to win.

Can anyone tell me how well Wallace played overall?
I watched the highlights and he looked pretty good, but I know at least one those touchdowns came off a nice defensive play against 2nd stringers. I was more excited to see him making smart plays with the first team than Delhomme. I mean I think their about equal in talent and with Jake’s age I like having a solid backup like Wallace.
He played well, though not as well as Delhomme. Also, the Packers first team was still in when Tuba stripped Grant,

Indeed, the strip came off the first play from Green Bay’s offense in the game. It was definitely their first team.

He showed poise, a nice touch, and put the ball where only his receiver could get it. It wouldn’t surprise me if he’s the #1 QB in Arizona in a year or two.
