If you haven’t heard by now, the Tennessee Titans have a game against the Cleveland Browns at home on Sunday.

I have seen the Browns here and there, but if we are at the point in the season where if I told I had time to watch all of the opponents games before their matchup with the Titans, I would be lying.

So, what better way to get info on the Browns than by asking an expert. The expert I talked to is Ryan Rosko of Factory of Sadness.

Here is our quick Q&A from earlier this week:

WL:The Tennessee Titans are one of the worst teams in the NFL at home, if the Browns are going to get their first win this season in Nashville, which player other than Pryor should the Titans be afraid of?RR: Given what Tennessee has in their front seven, I expect them to stop the Browns’ running game. That said, tight end Gary Barnidge should make a difference Sunday. He has posted solid numbers this season, but has yet to produce the stats Cleveland saw last season (specifically with the touchdowns, 9 last season 0 this year). This is the week that Barnidge could get back to 2015 level of play. WL: Last year the Browns killed the Titans with a flurry of aggressive defensive play calls and forced Marcus Mariota to throw it under pressure. Do you think that will be the game plan going into Sunday?RR: To an extent I do. We should see some of that throughout the game, but I wouldn’t say confidently that will be the focus. Despite Cleveland’s talent and depth issue, they need to find out a way to stop tight ends. This week, the Browns will have their hands full with Delanie Walker. The more aggressive they are, the greater the chances could be that Walker will make big plays. Walker wouldn’t have to worry about various linebackers and/or safeties on said aggressive plays. Tennessee has yet to use running back Derrick Henry to the extent many expected by now. If Cleveland can greatly limit Walker, I would expect them to force the Titans’ running game, involving Henry to make a difference. Still, Marcus Mariota is a very talented athlete and he can beat teams in so many ways. Given Browns defensive coordinator Ray Horton’s background, aggressive play is a given, but doing so in a cautious manner because of Mariota should occur.

RR:

I agree, Cody Kessler has been a surprise. However, he has still only played sparingly this season. There is a lot he has to work despite making the occasional play. Being a rookie quarterback in the Browns current offense hurts him, but he can play in the NFL.

RR:

Letting go Mitchell Schwartz and Tashaun Gipson was the wrong move. Understandably, Cleveland is building with draft picks, but they need quality veterans too. Had Schwartz stayed with Cleveland, the majority of their offensive line would be solidified. Gipson is not a top safety in the NFL, but he is a quality safety. It was tough seeing Cleveland moving on from both of them. Safe to say, moving on from them was not wise.
