Let me preference this by saying this game reminded me of us vs Arizona last season. When you at least two starters along the offensive line your whole offense can look like crap.
Was impressed with game plan offensively in the first half and for the most part the young offensive lineman did not have too many mental areas. Cleveland defense is one of the best we will play all season. I am concerned that we don’t have any juice at running back. Zeke is Zeke but Dowdle is a JAG. I don’t understand the local media’s fascination with treating Dowdle like he is Pollard. I don’t think he is better than Zeke.Hipefully Cooks will be ready soon. He is faster than both Zeke and Dowdle.
The defense played just like Zimmer wanted them two. No busted assignments, stuffed the run, then destroyed the quarterback. The defensive line dominated. It’s crazy how an important a Sean Lee type linebacker is for any defensive scheme. We got one on a bargain basement contract. As much I bust on the YouTuber’s about who they love or overrate, Overshown looks like the next superstar next to Parsons and Diggs. He is what I thought the Simmons kid from Clemson was going to be for the Cardinals.
Have some concerns about MM attention to detail. That five yard penalty to end the half was inexcusable.
