Browns Unable to Generate Offense in Loss to SF

Browns Unable to Generate Offense in Loss to SF

[Music] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] live. But I can’t get that excited. I can’t get that pumped up because the Browns have lost. The winning streak does not exist. I was I was convincing myself earlier in the game that the Browns were going to win. I start I already was thinking about, huh, if the Browns win today, they’re going to play the Titans next week. All of a sudden, in this crappy division, you never know. And of course, you know, the Browns got um played a decent for we’ll get to all of it. There’s a lot to get to. It’s a frustrating loss. A lot of things to look at. Plus, the Buckeyes win to end their losing streak against Michigan. Obviously, they have not lost since last year’s loss to Michigan last year. And why is Lane Kein such a douche? And so are the people that protect him in the media. Yes, I’m looking at you. You know who you are, Kirk Herbert Street. It’s all coming up right here on today’s edition of the bullpen with Adam the Bull, brought to you by Bet Rivers. And if you’re a player at Bet Rivers, that’s great.

The Browns score their only points in the second quarter. The final score 26-8. Uh the Browns, it’s it’s not unlike what we’ve seen most of this year. Excellent defense, not much on offense, [ __ ] special teams. That’s what we’ve seen most of the season. Uh honestly, this game felt a lot like a lot of the Dylan Gabriel games. And I’ll say what I said about a lot of the D the Dylan Gabriel games. Shador Sanders, we’ll start with him. I thought he played well in the first half. I was happy with the performance in the first half. I thought there was a lot to build on in the second half. Nothing happened in the second half. Obviously, uh, you know, not completely his fault. They barely had the ball. They didn’t throw the ball that much. Uh, it was my, as my son would say, when my when the weather is like it’s not cold, it’s not hot. It’s just kind of my my my my son Aaron says, uh, it’s a nothing day, right? It’s a nothing day. You don’t need air conditioning. You don’t need to eat. You don’t need a sweatshirt. You can wear shorts, but you’re not, you know, it’s a nothing day. It was a nothing day for Shador Sanders. Uh that’s enough for me to continue to want to see more. Certainly Shador Sanders did not play terribly in this game, but I’m I’m also not going to say he played great cuz it’s a weird game. like the the stats are um they’re they’re okay for considering he didn’t throw the ball that much and he get threw 25 passes, but a lot of them are in garbage time obviously on that final drive. Uh I love I I you know he he gets the touchdown throw. It was a great play uh and a great throw. Uh so I like that right to Harold Fannon. Uh but there were things I didn’t like also. He missed Jerry Judy early obviously on that first drive. He overthrew him. Uh I you can’t I can’t take a sack on fourth down. The game was probably over at that point anyway and he got hit pretty quick. But you never take a sack on fourth down. It’s unacceptable. That can’t happen. And I it pro yeah I don’t the last thing’s stupid. I you know he he also like slid on a fourth down play but the game was over. Uh they were down 18 and it was the final two minutes. So he wasn’t getting a first down. I I I can’t really expect you to take a hit, but don’t run in that situation. Just throw the ball. Just leave it up there. But listen, uh again, I want to see more. Um it was it was just there’s not much to look at here. Again, a lot of those p I think he threw 18 19 passes uh you know before that last drive when they were obviously playing prevent defense at that point. threw for a little over a 100 yards. You get the big again the big completion of Fannon the 34 yard touchdown and besides that a bunch of dinks and dunks. Uh I’m not gonna I can’t get excited for this. I can’t get angry about it. This is how I felt after a lot of the Dylan Gabriel games. Now I will say that unlike Dylan Gabriel, I see some upside with Shador Sanders. Not a ton of it today, but again, he he he’s done he’s made a couple of throws where I’m like, “Okay, I see a little something here, but he didn’t go down the field that much. I thought he mostly made good decisions in this game.” Uh there was a a big third down play where he hesitated. They br they they did a good job. Great broadcast today um by the guys, Kevin Harland and um Trent Green. They did a great job. Uh not Trent Green. Trent Green. Trent. Uh, why am I Why am I having a brain fart here? Um, is it Trent Green? Yeah. Yeah, it is Trent Green. I don’t know why that sounded weird in my head. Uh, but he made the point. He said, you know, Sanders missed a throw there. But he also said, “Hey, I I thought Shador was pretty solid.” Like, again, it’s it’s weird because he threw for 149 yards and they scored eight points. That’s not acceptable. Like, the offense wasn’t good enough. They just they they couldn’t do anything when it mattered on third down. They they moved the ball in the first half between the 20s nicely. It’s just it was a weird game because Shador didn’t make any big mistakes. Again, the worst thing was the overthrow on Judy on that first drive. He missed him there. I saw somebody tweeting, “Oh, look, Judy stopped running.” No, no, no, no, no. He was running. He had to change direction and that slowed him up a little bit. Don’t say he was jogging. That’s [ __ ] You can’t give Shador Sanders. If we’re going to be fair, we got to be fair about everybody. You can’t give him a p a pass on everything. All right. I mean, he played I give him a C. It was a It was just It was fine. I mean, it was a I don’t even know. There’s not even a good word for how Shad Shador Sanders played. It was It was just nothing much. But I 100% want to see him play again next week. I’m done with Dylan Gabriel. So, let’s see more. Especially against Tennessee. I want to see like I expected him to not have a good game. I I uh on the on uh my predictions I I think my final prediction was I think I had it at 216 I believe 49ers. So I was pretty close or 217. I don’t remember exactly what my score was but it was pretty close to what the final score was 26 to8 and I didn’t I I said a couple times this week you know it’s not a straight line now with Dylan Gabriel was just it was it went straight down. His best game was his first went down from there. Hopefully the same thing won’t happen with Shadore. Uh he played obvious he played better I thought in game one than game two. I didn’t think the drop off was that big. Again not a lot of opportunities playing a better team but I expect him to bounce back or or or be better next week and uh you know have more of an opportunity. They were heavy run which I’m sure we’ll get complaints about. Even though people have been screaming and yelling the Browns should run the ball. They committed to the run today and I’m sure there’ll be a lot of fans like why did you let him throw more? Well, they were running the ball pretty effectively. Uh Judkins, Samson, they combined 27 carries for 114 yards. That’s pretty good. That’s over five yards per attempt. So, they It’s a weird game because they ran the ball well. Shador was pretty efficient, but everything was short and he he either didn’t have much downfield or he missed the opportunities or didn’t want to take the opportunities. So, it’s not good enough. I’ll put blame across the board on the offense. Even though I don’t think the offensive line, I thought played well. You know, late in the game, obviously, he got sacked, but for the most part, the offensive line did their job. Uh the special teams was a big culprit here. Obviously, uh that long kick return early by um what’s his name? The former Chiefs player, Sky Moore. That long kick return led to the first Niner touchdown and then the muffed punt. I mean, what is this? Little league. Is this little league football? You got I mean, that ball is right in your hands, Larvidan. It’s just Yeah. Well, it seems like one week the Browns play, you know, solid on special teams, the next week they suck. And that’s what we saw here. I mean that that was that was just ridiculous that he that he fumbled that ball and that led to a the another touchdown. You know, some some weird decisions. Now everybody is killing uh Stfansky because he went for it deep in his own territory and that when they didn’t make it that it was a fumble. The fumble didn’t matter because they didn’t get the first down but uh they didn’t make it there. I don’t have a problem with them go listen we always want our coach to be aggressive. We complain when they don’t. I don’t have a problem with them going for it on fourth down there. I know a lot of people will. I know it’ll be revisionist history. I’m sure Jake Crawford will go nuts about it. The problem was not that they went for it. The problem was they had an offensive lineman running on the field with 10 seconds left on the play play clock. I almost said it. And then they had Fannon take the snap, which is risky. I could live with it again. They It’s fourth and inches. Like you got to get that that that yardage there. got to get it. But a situation where the where the a tight end’s taking the snap and they’re up against the clock and they’re rushing like you either you you got to call timeout there. You have they really blew it. I thought Kevin Spency again, I don’t have a problem going for it on fourth down, but they rushed the play and that’s why it happened the way it did and you gota you got to be on top of that and you got to call timeout there. So that was to me the [ __ ] uh by Stfansky. Not not going for it there. Um so I I didn’t have a problem with that. And then they went for a fourth and whatever the hell it was. Um uh 20 fourth and 20some. Um so uh you know you can’t do you that at that point it didn’t matter. At that point the game was over. Defensively, they played, you know, well, again, put in a tough spot. Not as many impact plays by the defense, but, you know, Christian McCaffrey didn’t do much in this game, and he’s their big guy. He had 20 carries for 53 yards. I mean, they really bottled him up. Had the touchdown on that first drive after the the punt return and then uh in the air, not much either. Four catches for 21 yards. So, not much for him. KD had a solid game. Jennings got the touchdown and Pery ran one in. Perie was, you know, he he there was not much. He played fine also. I mean, he his game wasn’t all that different from Shador Sanders. It wasn’t they didn’t need him to do much in the second half, but he, you know, he was okay, too. He was a C also. So, nothing special there. Both defenses played well in this game. Um the you know Miles Garrett did get the sack on a third down play. Got one sack to keep the streak going. That’s now what 14 in his last five games I think it is. Or is it six? I can’t remember now. 19 sacks for Miles Garrett uh in game number 12 for the Browns. But they lo they they fall to three and nine. So Wessinger led the way with 10 tackles, one for a loss, one quarterback hit. Ronnie Hickman, eight tackles and a pass defended. Not much impact. Um, a Mason Graham I thought played well again in this game. Everybody on the defense played pretty well. I mean, the the Niners didn’t have a lot of big plays. They had that nice pass to KD for 33 yards right before the half that led to that field goal. That was a nice play. But again, I was it wasn’t even like there was bad defense there. They didn’t run the ball. you know, I the defense played well. Um, but the special teams just absolute trash again. Biggest reason, but but the offense can’t get a pass. It it’s not good enough. You can’t point to any one spec. I mean, there was no there was nothing down the field. They just there was just nothing much down the field. There were very few long passes outside of the completion to Fannon. Um the Browns only had one completion for more than 18 yards and that was Fannon’s the touchdown. So most of it was short. A lot of the other like um Judkins had one for 13 and uh a lot of the other ones were short throws, but again I I I thought I on the passes Shadore threw I thought he mostly threw the ball well. I can’t I can’t go over the top that I’m not gonna tell you he played great. He didn’t make any wow plays in this game. You know, you had that wow moment with the Bond catch last week. There was the the the throw to to um Fannon was a nice throw. Uh Fannon had a drop another drop later, which was bad, but uh it was nice throw, but it wasn’t that wasn’t a wow play. So, no wow plays for Sanders in this game. I think the only wow play of the game was the uh was the pretty fake to the to run in for the touchdown. Uh all right, let’s get to let’s get to the line here and uh see what what everybody has to say. So many messages. It’s going to be hard to I’ll go backwards from the people that just you know let me go back to the beginning. Go back to the beginning because people are jumping in early. I can’t forget the pe Oh, I can’t get them all. Well, let me see what is happening here. All right. Uh, let’s see. Dog bone 4794 losses on the special teams. Um, David Davilbert says Kev sucked this game by going for it. Home side of the field, deflated the entire team. It’s fourth and inches, man. Get the get the first down. Uh, Wolf once again can’t score points. losing to a good team. As usual, failures all aspects of the game. Uh, and as usual, the fanboys are claiming all kinds of excuses and being critical as usual when nothing was going right, but whatever. Uh, Tarza, special teams is the reason. Uh, Jabbo, yep, I don’t give a [ __ ] about the Browns. Stop going to games in 95. Okay, then what are you doing here? Marino Martino the Browns is the Browns. Uh Dr. Dean, are we legendary yet? No. Kingdom of Kush Empire. Stfansky should be arrested. That seems extreme. Gondor sanitation department f the Browns. Uh Zero Fiverr, Ward, Teller, Conklin, Judy all need to go. You want Ward to go? What? Uh Dave, please do not use special teams and an excuse for Shadore. The Jets game special teams gave up two touchdowns. Antonio Scott, that wasn’t Shador’s fault. Bad play calling. Uh let’s see. Wolf Brown’s always making Sundays miserable. Zero five or two conservative. We always want them to I I get messages all the time. Got to run more. Got to run more. They ran a lot. They ran it well. Like we can’t, you know, I mean, and it was a close game until or it was a close-ish game until the fourth quarter. I I think that’s unfair. I mean, they they were not down more than nine points until the fourth quarter. Uh, okay. Let me get to some more messages here. Some some chat. Uh, box game. I think Shador doesn’t throw quick enough. I’ve seen players open on easy. Bond was open. He waited. Yeah, there. Listen, Shador was far from perfect. I said it was it was a nothing game. It was a C game. He didn’t do anything special in this game. He didn’t do anything terrible in the game. it was a neutral. Uh yeah, there were times where he didn’t pull the trigger quick enough. I think that’s definitely the case. Uh let’s see. Pathetic second half, says Dale. No doubt about it. But the second half was hideous. Uh J I Stip Sanders is the worst quarterback I’ve ever seen. That’s that’s a lie. Listen, I’m going to call out uh people that that can’t you can’t say anything wrong about him, but I’m also going to call you out if you say stupid [ __ ] like that. He’s not the worst quarterback you’ve ever seen. Don’t be silly. You’re a Browns fan. You’ve seen a lot of bad quarterbacks. Bubba’s special team strikes again, says Scott. Poor execution on ill-advised fourth and one. That was it. You’re right. It was the poor. It was the execution, not the decision to go for it. Sanders not his best. Yes, that all true. That’s a good message there by Scott. Scott’s on the on the money there. That’s the fair way to call it. Um Aaron Zoric. Perie is an NFL quarterback. Shador looks nothing like an NFL quarter. I I just don’t know how you say that off of this game. I didn’t think there was much of a difference in the two. I thought Perie played a little better than Shadore, but he also got much better players around him. I I thought they were both kind of neutral. I’ll give Perty a a a B minus and Shador Cy or Perty a C++ and and Shador Cy. Uh K Gondor, stop the cap. Sanders was cheeks. Uh Jimmy, I’m done with both quarterbacks. What’s up with this fourth quarter nonsense? Uh Dave, I thought Shidor was supposed to bring energy to the team and they rally around him. What happened? you know, maybe you’re not a Browns fan. It seems like we have um I don’t know what’s going on with our fan base and I think this is maybe it’s a lot of people that are not really Browns fans because there are a lot of people that have been sending messages of late that don’t like when the Browns did play well or or didn’t care if the Browns won. They just had their Shador narrative and now there’s people on the other side who are just looking to say I told you so Shador sucks. I think both are lame if you’re a Browns fan. I I don’t understand. I What is happening? Elephant 2024. Let’s be fair. If this were Gabriel G. Bush and the rest of the Shidorans would be saying he was terrible. I that’s up to them. Yes. I’m I think G. Bush was fair. Um, and G. Bush is a shidorian. He’ll admit that, but I think he was fair in how he talked about the quarterbacks. We’ll see what he says this week there for anybody like who had a who would have a problem. When when uh Gabriel Gabriel uh was playing these games, I said it was a nothing game also. It was a C. And that’s exactly what I’m saying here. There’s nothing special, but nothing terrible, you know. Uh, let’s see. And yes, if the the the Shador fans will give him more of a pass for this game than they would have for Gabriel, that’s that’s true. But same thing for the people on the opposite sides on the opposite side. All right. Uh let’s see. JB says, “Why wouldn’t he throw a long pass on fourth and long?” Yeah, you got it. You can’t take a sack on fourth down. And that first one, forget where he slid, the game was over. But that first one when he took the sack on fourth down, listen, it was quick. They were on him pretty quick. He got to throw the ball. He saw the guy coming. It was right. He saw him. It was coming right in his face. Uh, let’s see. Let’s see. Brandon DG also lost the game with special teams mistakes. Yeah, no [ __ ] What does that do with anything? Um, Eric C. Judy is lazy. Shador throws perfect deep ball. Shador needs receiver. Come on. You’re wrong. Shador missed that. He’s got to give him a better throw. He had he had the receiver, the defender beat. Michael, I actually thought the play calling was good for one half. Um, Galani every Sunday. Another Sunday with Misery. Um, Dave, everyone killing DG losing the Jets when special teams gave a 14. I I can’t I can’t speak for everybody. Stop throwing that [ __ ] on me. I said that I’m not going to defend myself anymore. This is just ridiculous. Uh, let’s see. Michael, this is best by by far the best O line performance of the year. Shador had all day to throw on two but on all but two or three plays that I agree. Eric special teams in the fumble put them into the red zone for scores. Uh let’s see. Big dog going back to going back to hat before halftime special team dropout punt. Can’t blame a quarterback. I give him a C+. That’s fine. I give him a C++. I gave him a C. That’s I hear you. Uh big dog fourth down was crazy. Both of them drop. Bold didn’t get the other first down. Uh Daniel with the confusion on that play. You should have called time. That’s exactly what I’m saying. You got to call time out there. That was a bad [ __ ] I even if you want to get fancy, I don’t have a problem with him getting fancy. I don’t have a problem with Fannon taking a snap. But not I don’t want F taking a snap if he’s rushed. And with like five seconds left when the when the when the ref ran in there to slow it down because the Browns brought in the offensive lineman late and I guess that they had to give like the defense a chance to whatever. Like at that point Kevin Stfansy’s got to call timeout. I know you you don’t really want to use a timeout. You want to save it for late but that he [ __ ] that up. No doubt. Um, let’s see. Deilbert now. Bull, that was not a good situation to do that. The game is a two-point game. Our side of the field, like 35 yard line, maybe the 45 49 yardd line. I have a problem with it. What do you got to lose, man? It’s fourth and inches. Fourth and inches. You got to get the first down. I’m always going for it on fourth and inches. I got no problem with that. It’s how they handled it. Uh, last time they won two in a row. Jalon says uh 202 2023 let’s see uh Amashakin Stfansky I have some of these names I just screw up I don’t know what I got to get through it stfansky should have grown more shador was hitting people what grass and bass Tilman is terrible cocky hemi shador stinks uh JV this is so stupid we got act like a punt, fumble, and bonehead kickoff miserable didn’t cause the Browns this game. Are you not listening? Did people just come here and put messages in without listening to the podcast? I mean, this is just crazy. Uh, let’s see. All right, I’ve had enough of the messages. All right. Uh, I want to talk about something else here before we wrap up. Nice win by the Buckeyes. 27-9. Complete domination of Michigan. Ever since I went bananas and screamed and yelled for Ryan Day to be fired after last year’s embarrassing loss in the game. Well, the Buckeyes have not lost a game since. They’re what a perfect uh one, two, three, 15, I think 16 and0 since losing that game. Is that right? I don’t know if it’s 15 or 16, but um um the the Buckeyes played great. The defense defense the defense was absolutely dominant. Bo Jackson, a freshman, had a great game. The Buckeyes ran it really well behind him. He had 22 for 117. Um, if you take out Julian Sey’s rushing plays, uh, they were 42 for 181. So that’s like four and a half, uh, yeah, like four and a half yards per attempt. It’s good to have Tate back. It was good to have Smith back. They both scored a touchdown. Sean 19 to 26, 233 and three touchdowns after the early pick. And as I said, the defense was excellent as always, led by Sunny Styles and the rest of the guys. And Lane Keifin could go [ __ ] himself. And [ __ ] anybody who’s defending him. He What a what a joke. If If a All these clowns, all these clowns I I I’m so sick of Herb Street. I’m so sick of um uh geez, um Nick Sabin. I’m sick of all these guys. If a player tried to pull this same [ __ ] that he’s doing, uh they would be killing they’d be killing the 19year-old quarterback. He’s not uh he’s not a team guy. He’s only cares about the money. He’s not loyal. Del Kirk Herbstreet and his golden retriever would be on TV killing the 19-year-old kid. But this buffoon Lane Kein, he could do whatever the hell he wants. If I’m Old Miss, I’d tell him to stick it up as you know what, not letting him coach the game. He’s threatening. What an [ __ ] My god, what is wrong with people? Nick Sabin always complaining about the players making money. This guy’s doing [ __ ] AFLAC commercials, which it with Deion Sanders. My god, what a douche. And and and Lane Keifin is the is just another one. Can’t stand these guys. They’re all such You want to talk about We talk about players being entitled. We know what that means. these coaches, guys like like Sabin, guys like Lane Keifin, these are entitled [ __ ] who think they’re their their [ __ ] don’t stink. And I’m sick of that crap. F him and f both of them. But I love you. And I’ll be back on Tuesday. Dustin will be and I’ll be on Tuesday morning at 9:00 a.m. And uh of course I’ll be on the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show uh every day this upcoming week. Uh love you all. Thank you for joining me.
