The offensive line issue facing the Cleveland Browns is straightforward, but finding a remedy might not be so simple. If it were simple, A) they would have changed it by now, and B) every player in the league would be an excellent offensive player.
HC Kevin Stefanski needs to figure out how to prevent the team from turning the ball over and needs to score a few more touchdowns rather than field goals, regardless of whether Joe Flacco or Dorian Thompson-Robinson is getting the snaps at quarterback.
This season, Cleveland’s offense has mishandled the ball 23 times, with 10 fumbles and 13 interceptions. With 10 interceptions and 14 fumbles, only the Minnesota Vikings (24) have done so more frequently.
The only club with a winning record and 20 or more turnovers is the Browns. each the Miami Dolphins and the Kansas City Chiefs have 19 players, but they each have quarterbacks that can carry their club.
For instance, the Dolphins’ offense is high-risk, high-reward, with touchdowns accounting for about 80% of their total points.
Cleveland, on the other side, ranks second worst in the NFL in terms of field goals made, accounting for 60% of their points
Once more, the Browns would have taken care of the FG/TD ratio and turnover problems long ago if they were simple. Just like every other squad on the lists.
DTR and/or Flacco have the best control over interceptions made and how cautiously they handle the ball in the pocket between the two. Nine of Cleveland’s mistakes may be attributed to PJ Walker, who gets benched or demoted.
Everyone has a responsibility to create touchdowns, starting with Stefanski. QBs must place the ball in the proper locations, tight ends and receivers must catch passes, and running backs must find the ideal holes and cutback paths. A few missteps here and there have prevented the Browns offense from scoring touchdowns throughout the 2023 campaign.
