Between the batted balls for interceptions, the constant instantaneous pressure causing chaos to the sped up clock it causes in Burrow to check the ball down, an elite pass rusher just ruins our offensive timing.
The good news is that, even with new talent entering the league every year, very few players ever ascend to a Jeffery Simmons/Aaron Donald/TJ Watt/Micah Parsons/Myles Garrett level player.
But it does not bode well for our success as we enter the playoffs.
Yep, and injuries to the interior of the DL made for easy sledding for the Browns run game. Recipe for disaster.
