Myles Garrett is the NFL's most gifted pass rusher (and there's no argument): An Orange and Brown Talk Special Edition Dec 29, 2020

Show notes

On this Gotta Watch The Tape from cleveland.com, there's something a little different. Doug Lesmerises is joined by special guest Brandon Thorn, who tracks sack stats that nobody else does at his newsletter, trenchwarfare.substack.com. Thorn watches every sack in the league, and then grades the sacks of all edge rushers, assigning ratings based on what type of lineman the rusher beat, on what down it occurred and how special it was compared to the average sack, among other things.

That means he spends a lot of time analyzing Myles Garrett.

So Doug and Brandon talked a lot of Garrett, but they also got into former Brown Emmanual Ogbah and current Browns Adrian Clayborn and Olivier Vernon. In the end, Brandon talked about exactly where Garrett fits among the best pass rushers in the league.

Scott Patkso and Ellis Williams will be back for a typical Gotta Watch The Tape on Thursday, but for now, enjoy the special sack insight from Brandon, who can be found on Twitter @BrandonThornNFL.

Examining Kevin Stefanski's decision-making on fourth down and in the red zone: An Orange and Brown Talk Special Edition Dec 23, 2020

Show notes

Just one episode of Gotta Watch The Tape on this Christmas week, as we break down numbers and film about the Cleveland Browns.

On this episode with Doug Lesmerises, Scott Patsko and Ellis Williams, the emphasis is on fourth down and the red zone as the 10-4 Browns prepare for the New York Jets on Sunday.

First, Scott examines how often the Browns are going for it on fourth down, the trends on fourth down around the league, the types of plays Kevin Stefanski is calling on fourth down -- and why the Browns' fourth-down conversion percentage is so low.

Then Ellis looks at the Browns in the red zone, where they have been one of the best teams in the league and even better in the last three weeks. What type of personnel groupings do they use there? How does it compare to last year? And what does the red zone success tell us about the overall cohesion of the Browns offense?

Thanks for listening to Gotta Watch The Tape from cleveland.com, and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
