The Cleveland Browns are extremely talented, but the Tennessee Titans exposed how young they are on the field and in the coaches box.
Offensively the Titans attacked the soft edges of the offensive line and continually disrupted and hit Baker Mayfield even if they weren’t all sacks. Meanwhile, the Titans defensive backs stuck with the highly touted Browns WRs like it was nothing.
Defensively, the Browns were exposed as being too aggressive as first time play caller Arthur Smith had four different screens set up that would have gashed the Browns for huge yards. Only one connected, but that one was the 75-yard TD to Derrick Henry.
The Browns are a talented group of players, but the better team was clearly the Tennessee Titans and ultimately how much the Browns gel as a team will be the key to that season.
