The Cleveland Browns have been awful on 3rd down this year with a conversion rate of 15% (8-53).#RaiseHail

Through the first 4 weeks:
The Cleveland Browns offense is averaging 14.5 points/game.
The Commanders offense is averaging 30.2 points/game.#RaiseHail

The Browns defense is 20th in DVOA despite a very soft schedule of opposing offenses. There is way too much confidence every offseason that great defenses will carry over year to year
— Gregg Rosenthal (@greggrosenthal) October 2, 2024
Also, if there was a stat for WR who causes the most CBs to run into one another, then Noah Brown would be near the top. It happened twice Sunday — on the third-and-2 (no impact on the play) and another time on an early 14-yard pass to Zaccheaus; got him open. Was all legal.

Everyone keeps trying to find a comp for Jayden Daniels. Is he Lamar Jackson or even RG3? I truly feel like he doesn’t have a comp. He’s electric in both passing (pocket passer first) and running. Perhaps he’s a blueprint and not a copy. #NFL #RaiseHail

There has been a lot of talk about the O-Line. Said in the summer one group that wasn’t worried about the OL: the coaches. The impact of coaching and scheme and QB play helps any OL — and can hurt it. Also key: Biadasz has been a huge help at C; Allegretti too.
— John Keim (@john_keim) October 2, 2024
There were questions no doubt. We all had them. Wasn’t sure how Coleman would look (but Lucas has long been a good backup who can pass protect). Not passing 70 percent of the time is a good thing. Wylie better in run game, on move. Using him that way.
— John Keim (@john_keim) October 2, 2024
There will be games when it probably doesn’t look great. That happens for sure. But overall much better. A QB who operates well in the quick passing game matters too. Not about the names up front it’s about much more.
— John Keim (@john_keim) October 2, 2024
The Commanders’ offensive line has been great. Not getting enough love.
No. 1 run blocking team via ESPN
No. 4 pass blocking team via PFF
No. 8 pass block team via ESPN
No. 4 in pressures allowed again Wk-4AP’s bets on Allegretti, Coleman, Biadasz all paying off.

Remember all the talk about Jayden taking too many sacks? There are current 16 QBs with a worse pressure to sack ratio than Jayden pic.twitter.com/InX8jQSVZf

Most rushing yards through week 4:
Derrick Henry – 480
Jordan Mason – 447
Saquon Barkley – 435
Alvin Kamara – 362
Jonathan Taylor – 349
JK Dobbins – 342
Josh Jacobs – 329
Aaron Jones – 321
Lamar Jackson – 308
Brian Robinson Jr – 307— NFL Stats (@NFL_Stats) October 2, 2024
It’s almost inevitable to see Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVay, and Matt LaFleur in the top right quadrant.
Todd Monken and Kliff Kingsbury have designed effective offenses around their dual threat QBs without relying on a ton of easy buttons. https://t.co/xXJvYcQcN4 pic.twitter.com/uCcULbV5zQ

Two teams high on Davante Adams’ wishlist of places to land – if not at the very top – are the Jets and Saints, per league sources.
Adams ideally would like to play with a QB he knows. The Jets have former teammate Aaron Rodgers, and the Saints have former teammate Derek Carr. pic.twitter.com/uTBW4kJuq5
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) October 2, 2024
If the Saints are going to be in on Adams they either need the Raiders to pick up the salary or they have to restructure everyone they can. If they restructure everyone left on the roster they can open about about $12.5M in cap room. Each week that drops by about $850K.
— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) October 2, 2024
Teams having conversations with the Raiders about Davante Adams have been informed his hamstring injury is expected to keep him sidelined 1-2 weeks. I’ve been told this is a real injury. He is expected to miss this week, but could be back next week if there are no snags.
