Cleveland Browns Film Room: Game 8, 3rd and 1

November 1, 2012 by 27 Comments

Like we did last year before it became fashionable, we’ll take a seat each week in our very own WFNY Browns film room and break down a little tape from the game, with a specific focus.  Do enjoy.

“We did a study on it and we’ll keep our results to ourselves. On third and one you need to be able to execute at a very high percentage for one yard. We’ve had a combination of things that have happened to us and it’s not always on the runner, but we need to enforce our will and get a yard. I’m aware of those numbers and we’re working on it to get it better.” – Pat Shurmur, earlier this week, on what he thinks the main problem is with Richardson only converting 2 of 7 third and one situations.

Sounds like a film room study to me! (I promise, not to feature Richardson next week…) We’ve already broken down one of these runs. It was against the Eagles, and it is found here- the second play reviewed.

Let’s start with the most recent, against the Chargers. [Read more...]

Cleveland Browns Film Room: Game 2, Third Down Offense

September 20, 2012 by 18 Comments

Like we did last year before it became fashionable, we’ll take a seat each week in our very own WFNY Browns film room and break down a little tape from the game, with a specific focus.  Do enjoy.

Right off the bat, I have to apologize. For whatever reason, last night the all 22 coverage and my computer would not get along. I could stream the regular broadcast, but when I tried to switch to the coaches film, all chaos happened. So this film room will be from the original broadcast footage. But the show must go on.

Let’s play some word association. It’s third and six, and the pass is complete for a _____ yard gain. What number did you put in the blank? Probably a four or a five. But what about last Sunday? [Read more...]

Cleveland Browns Film Room: Week 8 Pass Protection or Have a Little Help From My Friends?

November 10, 2011 by 30 Comments

Each week Almost nearly each week this season, we’ll take a seat in our very own WFNY Browns film room and break down a little tape from the previous week.  Do enjoy.

Whole lotta people questioning the pass protection this week. From our own Scott to LeCharles Bentley, to Daniel Wolf from National Football Authority, questions are being asked. And with good reason. Colt McCoy has been beaten to a pulp the last few weeks. It really is surprising that he hasn’t gotten hurt.

Sacked 4 times, and hit countless others against the Texans, it made me wonder what was going on. Then I hear Pat Shurmur say in Monday’s press conference that the Texans only brought more rushers than the Browns had blockers once. Is that possible?, I thought out loud. It seemed the Texans were bringing 15 people on every snap. Well, the tape doesn’t lie. And Shurmur was most certainly correct, the Texans didn’t bring more rushers than the Browns had blockers on every pass. It just seemed that way. [Read more...]
