Again, I am 100% on board with playing Myles Garrett for the majority of the game, but this was another overtime game and he was on the field for 95% of the snaps. Can’t that number be lowered just a tad? Chris Smith showed some really good things the past two games Womens Baker Mayfield Jersey , but this week, with the return of Emmanuel Ogbah, Smith only played a total of 5 snaps.Garrett had 9 tackles — although Cleveland struggled to bring down Marshawn Lynch at times, Garrett was making run stops left and right. Per PFF:LinebackerPosPlayerPlays%StatsPosPlayerPlays%StatsJoe Schobert led the Browns with 14 tackles, playing every snap out of 92. He also registered the team’s first sack of the game, and Jamie Collins had a sack later on. Schobert was boxed out by TE Jared Cook on one of his touchdown grabs over the middle. Some good defense in another instance led to an interception for CB E.J. Gaines.Christian Kirksey played a lot of snaps (90%) in his first week back.Genard Avery continues to generate pressure http://www.clevelandbrownsteamonline.com/derrick-kindred-jersey , having 4 quarterback hits on Derek Carr.CornerbackPosPlayerPlays%StatsPosPlayerPlays%StatsDenzel Ward played every snap, but had a very quiet game — my initial instinct is that he wasn’t targeted very often.The biggest defensive issue in this game was the loss of Terrance Mitchell, who now appears to be out for the season. Mitchell had a strong start to the game, but after his exit, T.J. Carrie played and was abused the rest of the game by the Raiders’ receivers. The play we saw from Carrie against Oakland is reminiscent of what Corey Coleman was doing to him in training camp, and look where Coleman is now. Carrie is definitely the one bust that John Dorsey acquired this offseason.SafetyPosPlayerPlays%StatsPosPlayerPlays%StatsAlthough he gave up the last touchdown to TE Jared Cook http://www.clevelandbrownsteamonline.com/trevon-coley-jersey , this looked to be another great game for FS Damarious Randall. He had an interception with a long return, and later made a great read and tackle in the open field in the red zone.The Browns are definitely sticking with their rotation at safety between Derrick Kindred and Jabrill Peppers. Something seems wrong about the fact that the defense was on the field for 92 plays, and your first-round safety from a year ago couldn’t find a way to get on the stat sheet, though.From PFF, the Browns were fortunate their secondary issues on Sunday weren’t worse:
