Miami Dolphins at Cleveland Browns - Injury Report

They have some pretty important pieces banged up. If we lose, I will still support them but I probably won’t watch them any more this year until they give me a reason to.

and we need that right now. Jones has cost us several big plays.

And as i talked about in" the things you may have missed post" the Browns have a good football team and they do alot of things well. However there are issues this week that are going to pose serious problems for Dick Jauron. First is the matchup problem the Browns have with our receiving core. Dick Jauron’s defense is very similar to how Paul Pasqualoni coached his, they run alot of man to man coverage, more than most teams in the league, and he isnt afraid to stick his talented corners in Sheldon Brown and Joe Haden out there on opposing receivers. The Dolphins receiving core has tremendous weapons for that type of coverage and the obvious problem for the Browns becomes how will they cover Davone Bess. It can be remembered that last season when The Dolphins played the Raiders who also run alot of “straight-up”man coverage they put Nnamdi Asomugha on Bess in the slot almost all game, and Davone carved him to pieces. Bess torched Asomugha with his incredible lateral quickness, great route running and ferocious ball skills, culminating the day with 6 receptions for 111 yards, an average of 18.5 ypc, with multiple plays underneath that went on to reach the safety cusion simply because of Bess staggering abilities. Outside of Darerelle Revis there isnt a corner in the league who has the talent to cover Bess man-on-man with any frequency and needless to say Dimitri Patterson is no Darrelle Revis. What Jauron will do to cover Bess will be interesting and may open up other man on man matchups, especially with backs leaking out and being picked up by their linebackers that can worked with. Brian Daboll isnt stupid and he must understand more than I ever could how to utilize our weapons against their man coverage schemes. I expect Daboll to spread them out alot today and form bunch formations with crossing routes with the intention of getting free release and maximizes those problems for The Browns secondary.
