Over the past two games the Browns linebackers have started making some plays. Craig Robertson has been better against the run and even showed some coverage skills last week. Paul Kruger had three sacks against Oakland and is now top-15 in the NFL. The weak link remains Barkevious Mingo, who looks lost in coverage fifa coins and like he doesn’t belong in the league against the run.

The Browns already had the edge in this department and then Tampa Bay traded safety Mark Barron at deadline. For the Browns, Joe Haden returned to his Pro Bowl form last week and was dominant. Even rookie Justin Gilbert has been playing well the last two weeks. They are starting to play like the unit people thought they could be before the season began.

The Browns are still struggling in this department. Despite having the best opponent’s average starting drive mark in the NFL, they cannot find a rhythm in their return game. They rank near the bottom of the league in kickoff-return average and dead last in punt-return average. For the Bucs, Solomon Patton has been very solid and consistently sets them up with decent field position.

As I said earlier, www.utfifas.co the Browns have to establish the run this week not just to make easier a victory over Tampa Bay but because they have to find some kind of rhythm before they hit the hard part of their schedule.
