On this Gotta Watch The Tape episode in the Orange and Brown Talk feed, Ellis Williams and Scott Patsko break down the Browns with numbers and film. First, Ellis looks at the Browns' defensive line, the alignments that have allowed that group to create so much pressure, the player who is the key to all of that, and how it has created the No. 3 defense in the NFL by one metric. Then Scott looks at Baker Mayfield, and his good numbers from Weeks 1-3 and his bad numbers in Week 4. There are dives into his play-action game, his deep throws and his success in a clean pocket vs. while he's under pressure. Do those numbers show it was just a bad day, or is it a trend? Doug Lesmerises is along for the ride as well, and everyone thanks for you listening to Gotta Watch The Tape. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
