Cleveland Browns: Will It Get Worse For The Organization?

And Doug Pederson did something that his former boss, Andy Reid, wouldn’t have done. As luck would have it – and the Browns have been sorely lacking in that department – Wentz, thrust into a starting role when Sam Bradford was traded to Minnesota, made his debut against Cleveland on Sunday and threw for 278 yards and two touchdowns to beat Cleveland. Things got off on the wrong foot in Week 1 with a road loss against the Philadelphia Eagles that led to starting quarterback Robert Griffin III to be placed on injured reserve. Johnson is still awaiting word on a 10-game suspension for testing positive for a performance enhancing substance. He still forces things instead of letting the game come to him. “Eventually they will love me because we’re going to win”.

Wentz won in his National Football League debut, over the Cleveland Browns, who blitzed Wentz sparingly, sacked him twice but were burned for 278 yards and two TD passes without an interception.

But this is the value of sticking with the running game even when it’s not producing huge results.

“Just to keep his mind in it and stay around it, I know he will be right there every step of the way with us, prepare and just know this is another part of his story. You just have to take each game in stride”.

He had three catches for 34 yards and one big gaffe in the opening minute of the third quarter.

Many people are already giving up on the redemption story that was RGIII in Cleveland.

Kenjon Barner helped out with a career-high 42 rushing yards on just four carries. “He’s worked so hard this offseason to just be better with his hands and mentally be better, and I thought he did an unbelievable job”.

In Week 1 of the 2016 NFL regular season, the fans were treated to two Monday Night Football games. You can see center Jason Kelce communicating with his guards so that they can let the tackles know what happening, and everybody knows to be ready for Double A gap blitz. “[Mathews] is such a powerful back”.

“Kenjon made a couple of nice runs”. Philadelphia won time of possession just 15 times from 2013-15 and never had the ball for 35 minutes in any game during that span. So he won’t have those huge games like Shady used to, but he’ll nearly always keep the chains moving. And then they passed on Wentz as well despite their most established scouts – the only ones, actually – in the organization preferring Wentz to Goff.

“It’s nice”, Mathews said.

“It’s a man play on the front side, and I’m on the back side finding the middle void”.

Carson Wentz’s career is off to a strong start. But even beyond the obvious physical abilities, Wentz looked like a poised, polished quarterback way beyond his years. Its unfortunate it happened.
