Below, we analyze the snap counts and stats on defense for the Cleveland Browns’ Week 15 game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Defensive Line
| Pos | Player | Plays | % | Stats |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pos | Player | Plays | % | Stats |
| DL | Myles Garrett | 49 | 78% | 2 tackles, 1 assist (3 combined). 1.5 sacks, 1 TFL, 3 QH. |
| DL | Alex Wright | 41 | 65% | 1 tackle (1 combined). 1 TFL. |
| DL | Jordan Elliott | 40 | 63% | 1 tackle, 1 assist (2 combined). 1 blocked field goal. |
| DL | Taven Bryan | 37 | 59% | 1 assist (1 combined). 1 QH. |
| DL | Perrion Winfrey | 35 | 56% | 1 tackle, 1 assist (2 combined). 0.5 sack, 1 QH. |
| DL | Chase Winovich | 23 | 37% | 2 tackles (2 combined). |
| DL | Jadeveon Clowney | 22 | 35% | 1 assist (1 combined). |
| DL | Ben Stille | 6 | 10% | No stats registered. |
- Myles Garrett was the third-highest graded Browns defender by PFF, grading out to an 85.3. He registered 1.5 sacks on back to back plays, and really made a big impact on that series. I still wish Garrett could have more of an impact on every drive, but it's still valuable that he gets it in a key moment.
- Jadeveon Clowney left with a head injury, presumably allowing Chase Winovich to have a bump in playing time.
- Perrion Winfrey seems to be playing better since his disciplinary issue -- let's hope he keeps it up.
Linebacker
| Pos | Player | Plays | % | Stats |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pos | Player | Plays | % | Stats |
| LB | Deion Jones | 61 | 97% | 2 tackles, 1 assist (3 combined). 1 sack, 1 TFL, 1 QH, 1 pass defended. |
| LB | Justin Kunaszyk | 30 | 48% | 2 tackles, 2 assists (4 combined). |
| LB | Tony Fields | 29 | 46% | 4 tackles, 2 assists (6 combined). |
| LB | Jermaine Carter | 10 | 16% | 1 assist (1 combined). |
| LB | Reggie Ragland | 2 | 3% | No stats registered. |
- The Browns' makeshift group of linebackers may have played a role in allowing some big run plays, but they also were part of a defense that held an NFL team to just 3 points.
- Reggie Ragland played a couple of snaps.
- Even though be had the mistake last week, I'm curious to see what Tony Fields can bring as a role player long term, and hope he gets a role to show that over the next few weeks.
Cornerback
| Pos | Player | Plays | % | Stats |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pos | Player | Plays | % | Stats |
| CB | Denzel Ward | 63 | 100% | 2 tackles, 1 assist (3 combined). 1 INT, 2 passes defended. |
| CB | Greg Newsome | 63 | 100% | 2 tackles, 1 assist (3 combined). 1 pass defended. |
| CB | Martin Emerson | 31 | 49% | 1 tackle, 1 assist (2 combined). |
- The interception helped, but Denzel Ward had a great PFF grade of 90.7, the second-highest on defense.
- Martin Emerson was dinged for a penalty.
Safety
| Pos | Player | Plays | % | Stats |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pos | Player | Plays | % | Stats |
| S | Grant Delpit | 63 | 100% | 8 tackles, 1 assist (9 combined). 2 TFL. |
| S | John Johnson | 48 | 76% | 8 tackles, 1 assist (9 combined). 1 pass defended, 1 FF, 1 FR. |
| S | Ronnie Harrison | 36 | 57% | 3 tackles, 2 assists (5 combined). 1 pass defended. |
| S | D'Anthony Bell | 4 | 6% | No stats registered. |
- John Johnson had himself a heck of a game. He stuffed a fourth down play to prevent a touchdown early on, then forced a fumble and recovered it in the second half. Johnson was the Browns' highest-graded player by PFF, grading out to a 93.1.
- Grant Delpit has also been doing a good job at making plays near the line of scrimmage.
- Ronnie Harrison played pretty well as the third safety, and in relief of Johnson after he departed with a thigh contusion.
