EDGE
Genard Avery, 90.3: The second best grade turned in by an EDGE defender, Avery played 44 snaps and trailed only Khalil Mack in grading. Avery was more effective against the pass (90.3) than the run (59.8)Myles Garrett, 82.3: Myles Garrett turned in the seventh-best grade by an edge defender. Despite having some big sacks of Roethlisberger, Garrett graded out better against the run (90.4), compared to his 75.6 grade against the pass.
Emmanuel Ogbah, 65.2: Emmanuel Ogbah injured his ankle and only played 27 snaps. Durability has been an issue with the third-year player.
Linebackers
Jamie Collins, 72.7: Jamie Collins was Cleveland’s highest rated linebacker, turning in the 18th highest grade for a linebacker in Week 1. This is actually surprising, considering the biggest thing Collins was remembered for was dropping an interception. He actually graded better (72.0) against the run, than against the pass (66.8).Joe Schobert, 64.6: A big drop-off from Collins to the Browns next rated linebacker. Joe Shobert also rated better against the run (67.5), than against the pass (56.4). Still, Schobert’s score reflects James Conner rushing for 130+ yards. Of course, Schobert, led the team in tackles, with eight.
Christian Kirksey, 28.8: Christian Kirksey rated 72nd, had one of the worst ratings for a linebacker. With a 32.3 grade against the run and 29.6 coverage grade, the Browns’ have got to be worried because these are horrific marks.

If you told anyone Avery would grade better than Garrett against the pass, they’d tell you that you smoke crack. Well, Avery graded significantly better in that category and it was reverse on the run where Garrett was really good on it.
Ogbah – as much as I like him – his injury could be a blessing in disguise. If Avery keeps that up on the rush then he and Garrett will benefit immensely pushing sacks each others way.
The biggest shock in this group is the sheer terribleness of Kirksey in game 1.
Oh, and @Ice – about trading Collins. Seriously, how drunk were you when you made that statement?

Please, keep showing us all what an idiot you are. Ogbah plays LDE. Avery plays rush LB. Ogbah’s absence will hurt Avery and everyone else on the line because he’ll be replaced with some combination of Chad Thomas, Chris Smith, and Anthony Zettel. They won’t move Avery to DE, so he and Garrett won’t be “pushing sacks each others way”.

“Genard Avery’s activity has been outstanding. He was disruptive against the run and the pass, athletic, solid in coverage, and versatile (often playing as a stand-up DE). I wish we had 4 of him. Despite playing in a 4-3 defense, he found his way onto the field for 51% of the Browns’ defensive snaps.”

I just have one question: is terribleness even a word? My spell check went ape shit when I attempted spelling it.

Yes, he sometimes played as a stand up DE. On those plays Ogbah moved inside to DT (but still acted as a pass rusher). On pure passing downs we’ve had some sets where there isn’t a DT on the field, we’ve just lined up 4 pass rushers (regardless of position) on the line and set the dogs loose. We did that a few times during the preseason and it was fun to watch! Even Peppers lined up that way more than once.
Avery may have been the steal of the draft. He fell to the 5th round because he doesn’t have prototypical size. He’s built exactly like James Harrison and has that potential. His legs are allegedly thicker than your mom’s!
And on obvious passing downs he can push the QB to Garrett and vice versa as I already stated. I’m not as dumb as I look. Props on working in a mom joke! It’s about damn time

It’s hard to make that statement when so many of us know what you look like. I for one can confirm that your level of mental retardation completely matches what I’d expect someone who possesses your looks to have.

Well stated. I got nothing as a response.
