BROWNS WIN!!! BROWNS WIN!!! BROWNS WIN!!! BROWNS WIN!!!
​

Welcome back #BrownsNation. We are pleased to bring you the week one recap. The Browns went into Miami and took care of business as they came back 27-10 winners! Every facet of the game was strong this week. There's alot to be excited about. Johnny was clicking on all cylinders, and we had some huge performances by the new guys. This is the Browns we've all been waiting for! Defense held strong and only gave up one touch down. The single touch down came off of Anderson's fumble in the second quarter.

OFFENSE
​

The offense had a huge day. They gained 351 total yards compared to the Dolphins 232. 234 yards came through the air and 117 on the ground. They completed 5/7 third downs and was PERFECT for scoring in the red zone!! The offense was almost unstoppable. The only 2 times the offense stalled was when Miami and punted it within the Browns own 5 yard line. Johnny grew up and finished with a 149.3 QBR throwing for 3 TD and 0 INT. Newcomer C.J. Anderson took alot of pressure off Manziel with his 100+ yards in his first game as a Brown. The other big name newcomer, TE Ladarius Green, also found the endzone twice. We can't stress enough how good these moves were in the offseason. Speedy youngster Shane Wynn finally found his way past the defense as well, something the Browns have been trying to do all last year, and finally he found space to score on this Miami defense. Let's take a look at some of the offensive action

QB Johnny Manziel
149.3 QBR 12/18
240 Yards 3 TD 0 INT

HB C.J. Anderson
16 Rush 105 Yards 2 BTK

TE Ladarius Green
2 Rec 69 Yards 2 TD

DEFENSE
​

This was probably the big story of the game. The defense stood up and stayed strong in week 1. They only allowed 232 yards to a high powered offense, and gave up only 1 touchdown. They also tallied 1 red zone interception and 4 sacks!! The 4 sacks were a welcome sight, as the Browns only got 19 all last year, and finished dead last. They also tallied 3 tackles for loss. Biggest storyline was the play of the defensive ends. Starks had 2 sacks and Hughes had one sack. Hughes was just given a 4 year contract extension worth $20M last year, and it appears so far as if it's going to pay off! If this is what the Browns have in store... Watch out NFL...

SS Donte Whitner
7 Tackles 1 INT 2 Pass Defl

RE Randy Starks
3 Tackles 2 Sacks

LE Jerry Hughes III
4 Tackles 1 Sack
​

Owner Chris Bigtex had this to say after the game:

In the preseason I said we had 4 keys to success to win games. First, pressure the QB. Check. Second, Protect Johnny. Check. Third, Establish the run. Check. Finally, Beat the Ravens... Well, we'll see next week won't we!

I was very impressed with the play of our new additions. CJ ran hard like we know he can and racked up over 100, and Green, enough can't be said about this kid. Literally in this game every time he touched the ball it was a touchdown. He gave Johnny a big frame to throw to in the redzone, and also caught a 65 yard pass, 51 yards of which were after the catch.

We gave Hughes the big contract extension he has been waiting for, and he looked me in the eye and promised me he would make it worth my time. He showed it today.

I'm just thankful we were able to pressure the QB today, something we did not do all season long last year. This has to be kept up!

Johnny is one of the best QB's in this league. He parties hard, but he works hard as well. The league will find out what he's about this year

​

There has been a Twitter battle going on in preseason between Manziel and Jameis Winston of the Buccaneers and after the Dolphins game Johnny took this shot at Winston.

We all know how arrogant and active Johnny is on Twitter, and he even tweeted a picture of him celebrating at the party after the big week 1 win.
