Browns have used Okoronkwo as a pass rush specialist, but he’s good defending the run. The Browns need Okoronkwo and his speed to counteract the Ravens offense. The Ravens can use Derrick Henry or Lamar Jackson to bludgeon defenses in the run game. The Browns will rely on former draft picks Isaiah McGuire to serve as the primary backup.

Ravens well-balanced offense too much for Browns

In case you missed it, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson totaled four touchdowns for the Ravens vs.the Browns today.

Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken has quarterback Lamar Jackson rejuvenated. All week long NFL analysts raved on how the Cleveland Browns defense was too much for Baltimore, yet today’s final score affirms the very opposite.

In case you missed it, Jackson totaled four touchdowns for the Ravens vs. Cleveland today.

Twice Jackson used his arm and twice Monken schemed Jackson on zone run concepts that got him into the end zone. Jackson connected with seven different receivers on just 15 total completions – a clear sign that Monken’s scheme is made to optimize the offense. 

Ultimately, the diverse yet cohesive play concepts Monken is using are the reason for offensive success. Below are illustrations of a few concepts from week 3 we saw relived Sunday afternoon. The Ravens now lead the AFC North division with a 3-1 season record.

Browns force huge fumble as Ravens were driving

The Browns get a massive turnover!

Just in the nick of time. As the Baltimore Ravens had driven the football into plus territory, the Cleveland Browns forced a much-needed and massive turnover. Quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Justice Hill mucked up a handoff, putting the ball on the turf, as defensive tackle Maurice Hurst was more than happy to jump on it. With starting quarterback Deshaun Watson out, the defense is going to continue to be relied on.

Outside of a one-play drive off of a Dorian Thompson-Robinson interception, the Jim Schwartz-led defense has been as advertised once again in today’s matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The pressure has been constant as the game currently sits at 7-3 in Baltimore’s favor.

Can the Thompson-Robinson-led offense scrounge some points together on the scoreboard to help them out? It has been tough sledding for that side of the football thus far, but there is still well over two quarters of play to go in this one for the rookie and the offense to get this figured out.

Browns: QB Deshaun Watson expected to start vs. Ravens despite cautious week

Despite a limited week, QB1 is expected to start.

The Cleveland Browns finally found some success through air a week ago in their win against the Tennessee Titans. This week, however, quarterback Deshaun Watson Deshaun Watson has been nursing a sore shoulder that has held him to limited action during practice. He has officially been listed as questionable for this Week 4 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. However, according to The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, Watson is expected to start today’s game.

In preparation for this week’s action, Russini tweeted this out about the starting quarterback in Cleveland:

“The Browns are concerned about Deshaun Watson’s right shoulder contusion and were cautious with him all week, according to a team source. But even though he is not 100 percent, he is expected to start against the Ravens barring a Sunday morning setback.”

Rookie fifth round pick Dorian Thompson-Robinson will be ready to go just in case, and the Browns elevated veteran quarterback PJ Walker from the practice squad in case of emergency.
