The 2020 Cleveland Browns: Where They Stand

Play episode

Born and raised in Western New York. Host of "The Football Discussion" and "Lets Cash" podcasts and sports betting topic writer. Washed up former athlete turned slow-pitch softball enthusiast.

The Seahawks made the right decision by passing at the end of Super Bowl 49.

Even after the catastrophic 2019 for the Browns that included a sophomore slump from QB Baker Mayfield, Odell Beckham Jr. rumors (some a little shittier than others) in 2020, and just simply being the Browns, things are staring to turn around for them. Where do they stand? Read and find out Colby Cummings’ perspective on the 2020 Cleveland Browns.

The Bad: Past

For starters, the Cleveland Browns are a punchline, and have been for awhile. They (kind of) fired a guy named Bill Belichick who ended up being pretty damn good. With only 2 winning seasons since coming back to Cleveland in 1999 and a 0-16 record under their belt, the Browns have earned the “Mistake on the Lake” moniker. Being a QB drafted by them was a death sentence. Hell, Bud Light was giving away free beer just to celebrate a win, finally. And yet, even after what feels like 50 coaches and 100 QBs, they showed signs of life in 2018.

They showed major improvements and the ability to win games in 2018. QB Baker Mayfield won Offensive Rookie of the Year. To take it to the next level in 2019, they traded for OBJ and made a then well-received move to keep interim head coach Freddie Kitchens around full-time. Then chaos ensued again, and the Browns were back to their old ways. The familiar past gave fans a headache like they just had a helmet swung at their head. However, things are currently looking up for the Browns.

The Good: Present

The 2020 Cleveland Browns are 4-1 to start the season (not a typo) and in 2020 I guess that just adds up. Baker has played better, despite so many thinking he was a fluke. Those same people fail to mention FREDDIE KITCHENS was the coach. He could make Peyton Manning look bad, and Manning made ADAM GASE look good. OBJ has been getting the ball; happy wife, happy life for the love duo of Baker and OBJ. Despite the injury to RB Nick Chubb, the Browns are pounding the rock. As a result, there’s less pressure on Baker, so we aren’t seeing him scrambling away like we’ve seen before. Dare I say, the Browns…aren’t a pushover anymore?

What The Metrics Tell Us

The 2020 Cleveland Browns currently stand in good position league-wide. The Browns offense ranks 14th in DVOA while the defense ranks 16th. The Browns have played the 23rd hardest schedule. How did the Browns earn these rankings? According to ESPN Analytics, the offensive line ranks 4th in run blocking and 2nd in pass blocking.

On the other side of the ball the defenses ranks 30th in stopping the run and 9th in pass rush. They offer a well-balanced attack, ranking 10th and 11th in offensive and defensive EPA/per play, respectively. They are currently 3-2 against the spread, slightly outperforming Vegas’ expectations of them. The 2020 Cleveland Browns began the season predicted to not make the playoffs, but currently have 76.4% chance to make it, per ESPN’s Football Power Index. As far as the numbers nerds and film junkies see it, the Browns are actually a well-rounded team with plenty of upside.

Going Forward

For starters, they have a measuring stick type of game vs. the Steelers on Sunday at 1:00 PM, just as long as the Titans don’t screw this up too somehow. (Side note: collectively we all officially hate the Titans. If you’re not down with that, you can’t sit with us.) Anyways, these are the two teams that are ultimately completing for 2nd in the AFC North behind the Ravens, and there’s no shame in that. Getting a wild card spot and making the playoffs would seem like a God send for Browns fans. Furthermore, the Browns have one of the easiest strengths of schedules remaining.

Prediction

The Steelers are going to be a major test of the Browns, especially for the Browns’ offensive line. The Steelers rank  1st in stopping the run and 2nd in rushing the passer. Colin Cowherd is licking his chops just thinking about this stout Steelers defense giving Baker fits. As far as Sunday, it depends if Baker wakes up feeling dangerous again.

I see discipline being a major factor in this one. These teams are similar in terms of penalties committed in 2020 thus far. I’ll say this is one is close, but I’ll give the edge to the Steelers at home, 26-23. However, I like what I’ve seen from Cleveland in 2020, and even a loss to the Steelers this week wouldn’t change my optimistic outlook on them. I still like them to get in the playoffs after beating up on teams like the Bengals, Texans, Jets, Giants, Jaguars, and even the Eagles the rest of the season.

  • Prezenty bezdepozytowe, wydawane przez instytucje, są niejako gestem gościnności. I tutaj bardzo ważne jest, aby nie nadużywać takich prezentów, ponieważ w kasynie jest to bardzo złe. Aby otrzymać bonus bezdepozytowy kasyno 2022 z wypłatą za rejestrację w określonej instytucji hazardowej, gracz powinien najpierw dokładnie przeczytać wszystkie warunki i zasady dotyczące jej otrzymania, co jest bardzo ważne i pierwszą rzeczą, którą należy zrobić przed przyjęciem bonusu w kasynie. Dotyczy to nie tylko bonusów rejestracyjnych, ale także wszystkich innych dostępnych w klubie internetowym. Natomiast jeśli chodzi o zagraniczne kasyna z bonusem bez depozytu, to tutaj sytuacja wygląda wręcz doskonale. Promocji i ofert bez konieczności wpłaty jest naprawdę wiele, wszystko sprowadza się jedynie do kwestii dokonania umiejętnego wyboru. Zanim jednak przedstawimy Ci komplet informacji na ten temat, tutaj sygnalizujemy pierwszą i najważniejszą kwestię – aby kasyno legalnie działało na terenie Polski, musi mieć licencję wystawioną przez uznawany i honorowany w Unii Europejskiej organ regulacyjny. Popularne lokalizacje to na przykład Cypr, Malta lub Curacao. Licencja z dowolnego z tych krajów załatwia kwestię legalności danego kasyna.

    Jeśli w mistrzostwach Polski młodych koni ktoś zostanie czempionem czy wiceczempionem, dostaje dotację na konia, który okazał się świetnym czempionem i rokuje dla hodowli. Wiele dotacji jest utajnionych. Pytanie, czy lipny etat dla lekkoatlety w ramach Wojsk Obrony Terytorialnej jest formą dotowania spotu czy nie. Dla mnie jest. Kadra Polskiego Związku Lekkiej Atletyki w ten sposób funkcjonuje. Tak jak kiedyś piłkarz z Górnika Zabrze miał etat górniczy, dzisiaj mają lekkoatleci. Prawdopodobnie inne związki sportowe też mają podobny układ. Jesteś w stopniu kaprala dopisany do jakieś jednostki, a i tak siedzisz cały sezon w Cetniewie czy w Spale i tak ku chwale naszej drogiej ojczyzny trenujesz np. pchnięcie kulą. W naszym kasynie internetowym na dzień dobry zyskać można równowartość nawet 4 000 zł w ramach powitalnych bonusów depozytowych. Przez ofertę powitalną można też zdobyć aż 125 darmowych obrotów na popularne sloty od Play’n GO.

  • I really believe that a foreclosed can have a important effect on the borrower’s life. Home foreclosures can have a 6 to ten years negative relation to a client’s credit report. Any borrower having applied for a home loan or just about any loans even, knows that a worse credit rating is, the more tricky it is to obtain a decent personal loan. In addition, it could affect any borrower’s ability to find a really good place to lease or hire, if that gets the alternative housing solution. Thanks for your blog post.

  • Daarnaast is het natuurlijk ook mogelijk om met Debitcard te betalen. Betalen met een creditcard is op dit moment niet mogelijk bij Ksa casino’s. Zoals we hierboven al hebben benoemd, is er bij Klarna sprake van een check bij het BKR. Hierdoor is het ook niet mogelijk om eindeloos betalingen te doen met Klarna. Dit moet voorkomen dat je als gebruiker in de schulden terechtkomt. Met je eigen bankrekening kan je afrekenen en meteen beginnen met spelen! Met Klarna geld storten blijft natuurlijk lekker eenvoudig. Het bespaart je een hoop ellende dat je achteraf kan betalen! Hoewel in het casino met Klarna storten geen optie is in Nederland, is dit wel een betaalprovider die steeds meer gebruikt wordt door Nederlanders. Dit is namelijk een handige optie wanneer je betaalgemak wilt en tegelijkertijd het overzicht wilt kunnen houden. Helaas is het aanbod van zowel deze aanbieder als Zimpler niet langer in lijn met de regels van de KSA, wat betekent dat we deze optie als Nederlanders niet meer tegenkomen. Zie je een aanbieder waar de optie er wel is, controleer dan eerst of het een legaal casino is voordat je een account aanmaakt.

  • I do love the way you have framed this particular challenge plus it does indeed offer us a lot of fodder for consideration. However, through what precisely I have experienced, I just simply wish as other reviews stack on that people today continue to be on point and in no way start upon a tirade regarding some other news of the day. All the same, thank you for this fantastic piece and whilst I do not necessarily concur with it in totality, I respect the perspective.

  • Thanks for your helpful article. One other problem is that mesothelioma is generally brought on by the inhalation of material from asbestos, which is a dangerous material. It truly is commonly witnessed among employees in the construction industry who definitely have long experience of asbestos. It could be caused by moving into asbestos covered buildings for some time of time, Genetics plays an important role, and some consumers are more vulnerable for the risk than others.

  • Therefore my husband decided that this would be the year that we would make two 8 foot long DIY folding tables that could be used as poker tables. “You worked tirelessly before, during, and even after the event to ensure that all went smoothly. On the night of the event, every aspect of gaming went seamlessly because your team handled the situation professionally. We are extremely grateful for all your hard work and support and wish you the best of luck with all your future business. Thank you again for making our big night a huge success” Home » Poker Tables My husband’s plan for these DIY folding tables is to use them as DIY poker tables (hence the green paint job) and then also as a recreational table for when my children want to do puzzles or other activities!

    The free spins round is what saves the Black Knight slot from being one of the also-rans. This feature alone makes the slot worth sticking with as you can win 50x to 200x your stake if you hit the right combinations. Players benefit by having their own slot machine in their home because the casino has the very same machines. Gambling at home gives one a different perspective of how to play the machine. Players can learn a lot about how these machines function without the stress of going broke. One can focus on patterns and account for genuine gains and losses. Most importantly, think about how much money you can save. Add to that the hours of stress free entertainment. If you’re a fan of the medieval period (whether it be watching movies or reading books based on such times) you’ll love the symbols that feature in the Black Knight slot machine, with ten in total and not a playing card in sight!

  • I have mastered some new issues from your web page about pc’s. Another thing I have always imagined is that computers have become a specific thing that each residence must have for many reasons. They offer convenient ways to organize the home, pay bills, search for information, study, listen to music as well as watch shows. An innovative way to complete most of these tasks is a laptop. These computer systems are portable ones, small, potent and transportable.

  • Your blog is a testament to your expertise and dedication. Your writing is always informative and engaging, and I have learned so much from reading your articles. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world.

  • Thanks for your posting. Another element is that being photographer involves not only issues in taking award-winning photographs but hardships in acquiring the best digital camera suited to your needs and most especially hardships in maintaining the standard of your camera. This can be very real and noticeable for those photography addicts that are in to capturing the particular nature’s captivating scenes — the mountains, the actual forests, the wild or perhaps the seas. Visiting these amazing places certainly requires a camera that can surpass the wild’s severe areas.

  • Another thing I’ve really noticed is for many people, below-average credit is the results of circumstances above their control. For example they may are already saddled through an illness so they have substantial bills for collections. It would be due to a work loss or the inability to go to work. Sometimes breakup can truly send the finances in the undesired direction. Many thanks for sharing your opinions on this blog site.

  • It’s my opinion that a property foreclosure can have a major effect on the client’s life. Foreclosures can have a 8 to a decade negative impact on a debtor’s credit report. A new borrower who has applied for a home loan or just about any loans for example, knows that the worse credit rating is usually, the more difficult it is for any decent mortgage loan. In addition, it can affect any borrower’s ability to find a respectable place to let or hire, if that results in being the alternative property solution. Interesting blog post.

  • Hello, Neat post. There’s a problem with your website in internet explorer, may check this? IE nonetheless is the marketplace leader and a big element of other folks will pass over your magnificent writing due to this problem.
