Can the Browns’ offensive line be fixed? Does it need fixing?
The Jets had a field day getting after the QB and RB in Week 5. What is the Browns problem and can it be fixed?
The Cleveland Browns suffered a 17-12 defeat to the New York Jets in a recent game, leaving them with a 3-2-0 record and the lead in their division. The Jets' eight sacks were a major factor in their victory. Cleveland currently has two rookie offensive linemen, LT Spencer Fano and RG Austin Barber, who have been impacted by their inexperience.
Pro Football Focus (PFF) ranks the Browns' offensive line at #28, and by PFF's data, five of the eight sacks were due to their line. This performance raises questions about whether the offensive line needs fixing now, during the season, or if the blame should be placed on QB Deshaun Watson, the scheme, or the system under Todd Monken.
