Those big chunk plays Cleveland ran were all outside the red zone which means Paul Guenther just let the Browns move the ball until they got near the Cincinnati 20. Then things tightened up like my stomach after eating too much Taco Bell.
I’m with all of you: Those plays drive me nuts. I look at the way Matt Patricia runs the Patriots’ defense and he doesn’t let that happen. Neither does Dean Pees in Baltimore. Neither did Mike Zimmer. Basically the Bengals conceded field goals to the Browns every time Cleveland got close. I would like to see more aggressive secondary play along the entire field, not just in the other team’s red zone.
Bend but dont break works great with some teams, but the elite teams destroy this. Pittsburgh shreds this defense every time we play them and its horribly frustrating to watch.
We draft athletic DB's and expect them to be disciplined and tackle well in a zone defense. Our Db's do not do well with this. I would almost rather have the other team score quickly every once in awhile instead of letting them chew up clock and wear our defense out
Field goals add up especially when you arent kicking them too.
