The good and the bad from the Cleveland Browns game against the Philadelphia Eagles
By Chad Porto
The Good
Unexpected Heroes
The Cleveland Browns saw some unexpected heroes step up during the game, namely on defense with defensive end Alex Wright, linebacker Tony Fields, and defensive tackle Glen Logan, who all had solid outings with the team. Considering each man is playing at a position of need, they may all have made a big enough impact to warrant a spot on the team.
Good quarterback play
Joshua Dobbs was brilliant with his playmaking on Sunday. While he wasn’t hitting huge passes, his ability to prolong plays, and even score while carrying the ball, was impressive. Josh Rosen didn’t look bad either, having a few big plays, including one that was pinpoint-accurate down the sideline after entering the game. Though he did struggle a bit late in the fourth.
Reliable running backs
The Cleveland Browns won’t have any issue finding someone to carry the ball. While we haven’t seen Nick Chubb or Kareem Hunt yet, seeing D’Ernest Johnson, and John Kelly cut their way through the Eagles’ defense was very encouraging. Jerome Ford didn’t move the ball well on the ground, but he was a very effective receiving option, giving fans hope that even if he struggles to carry the ball, he can still be a reliable target through the air.
