Browns Have The WORST Offensive Line in the NFL Right Now!

- In this video, we break down why the Cleveland Browns currently have the worst offensive line in the NFL. From Deshaun Watson to Kevin Stefanski, we'll discuss the issues facing the Browns offense and how they can improve. Tune in to the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show for all the latest updates on the Cleveland Browns!
The Browns' vision of a grandeur new-look offense -- a spread-out approach that highlighted quarterback Deshaun Watson's dual-threat ability -- has failed to come to fruition through three games.
Instead of a modern offense that would complement an elite defense, the Browns have fielded an impotent unit that has been met with boos from their home crowd and rivaled some of the worst offenses that have taken the field since the franchise returned to Cleveland.
The Browns are averaging 3.8 yards per play, the second-worst mark in the NFL and the franchise's third worst through the first three games of a season since returning to Cleveland in 1999, per ESPN Research. The team's third-down conversion rate --18.6% -- is the worst of any team and the Browns' lowest mark through the first three games of a season since 1999.
Watson, the quarterback for whom the Browns gave up three first-round picks and signed to a fully guaranteed $230 million deal, has continued to struggle since coming to Cleveland and a usually reliable pillar has become unstable. Amid a 1-2 start for the first time under coach Kevin Stefanski, the Browns' issues on offense can be traced to multiple factors, from personnel to coaching.
What has often been a strength under Stefanski has become a weak link in 2024. Cleveland's offensive line has regressed, and injuries, both lingering and new, have only exacerbated the unit's issues.
The Browns lost three offensive linemen -- right guard Wyatt Teller, left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. and right tackle James Hudson III -- in Sunday's loss to the New York Giants. Another lineman, right tackle Dawand Jones, was pulled after halftime because he was struggling with a knee injury, per Stefanski, only to have to reenter the game after Hudson left with a shoulder injury. The ailments forced a mass shuffling along the offensive line, which included left guard Joel Bitonio moving to left tackle. Stefanski said the team never practiced with the offensive line combination that finished the game.
Stefanski said Monday that Teller will miss "multiple weeks" with a knee injury and could go on injured reserve, which would sideline him for at least four games. Right tackle Jack Conklin, who has yet to play since his knee injury in Week 1 of the 2023 season, was ruled out the day before Sunday's game because of a hamstring injury that Stefanski called a "minor setback."
Protection issues have been prevalent throughout the team's first three games, and it's a weakness that opponents are exploiting. Entering Week 3, the Giants blitzed on 25% of opponent dropbacks. But against the Browns, New York raised that rate to 57% of Watson's dropbacks. Watson was sacked eight times against the Giants and has been sacked a league-high 16 times, the most by a Browns quarterback through their three games of a season since the 1970 merger, according to ESPN Research.
The Browns' Pass Block Win Rate through three games -- 60.2% -- would be the lowest single-season mark since Stefanski arrived as head coach in 2020. Cleveland ranks 14th in rushing yards before contact -- 2.67 -- but it's a far cry from the dominant rushing game typically led by Nick Chubb, who is on the physically unable to perform list.
Watson's first pass against the Giants was arguably the best he has thrown as the Browns' starting quarterback. One play after Cleveland forced a fumble and recovered the ball on the opening kickoff, Watson lofted a 24-yard touchdown pass to Amari Cooper in tight coverage to take a 7-0 lead.
But after that, Watson reverted to the form he has shown throughout his time in Cleveland -- indecisiveness and inaccuracy. After Sunday's game, Watson's total QBR -- 23.3 -- ranks higher than only the Carolina Panthers' Bryce Young, who was benched last week.
Drops have been an issue for the Browns' pass-catchers, registering a 5.2% drop rate on Watson's passes, the third-worst mark in the league. But Watson's accuracy also remains a problem. His off-target rate -- 24.5% -- is the third-worst in the NFL and would be the worst for Watson in a single season in his career. He appeared frustrated at times after overthrowing receivers on Sunday and lamented the missed opportunities after the game.

Exactly what I seen on tv that offensive line is the problem
Thank you G Bush for your HONEST assessment....👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾
I can tell a lot of these guys never played organized football even at a varsity level. Is some of it Deshaun’s fault? Absolutely! But it’s truly laughable when people are blinded by hate saying it’s all one person’s fault.
2 fancy Stefanski ain't it. Vrabel might be the new head coach by game 7 if things don't change
The most astonishing thing is Berry the GM has a job
Max Crosby gonna feast next week
Big Brown’s Fan from North Carolina. That Watson hate gotta go, my boy was running for his life O-Line PLAYING TRASH( Bubba Voice).
Did you not notice Watson being incapable of throwing before a receiver comes out of a break? THREE STEPS AND THROW.
Wish more browns media emphasized Stefanski's incompetence. It has been going on for YEARS now.
This is all about the front office
wow, yep - literally just left a similar comment on a different video. we out here complaining about the symptoms, but the disease exists within the front office/scouting department.
@agent1.618 honestly after the Dorsey/Jackson regime haslam said "no internal discord " and would have more collaborative leadership
Andrew Berry dropped the ball on this. Last year this line showed wear and tear and losing steps. Then throw in the end of year surgeries and what not. He should have went out and get a few veteran backups.
I’ve literally been saying this about Stefanski since we lost to the chiefs in the playoffs. He’s not it at playcalling.
Win or lose we love to have you G bush
The dysfunction and disconnect are off the charts.
G-Bush please go over the all 22 on your channel I can careless who’s our QB but I agree this past week wasn’t on Watson but people keep arguing that it was… Everyone just wants to make him the scapegoat every week! Week 1 it was Watson + Stefanski’s game plan…. Never tried to run vs Cowboys and that’s the Cowboys weakness but instead passes 45 times with 4th and 5th string tackles vs an elite pass rusher in Micah Parsons 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
That is the worry of today hey hey hey let me hear. Let me hear you. "Ball of confusion." [Temptations 60's]
My friend you are spot on on the money exactly what you just said everything is exactly the way you say it I saw teller on the one play look straight ahead and stop and look at the guy in front of him stood up let The defender go around him and make the tackle. There is no excuse whatsoever in not blocking that man right in front of him and just letting him just make the tackle it is unbelievable I was beside myself and it was the laziest poorest performance out of a offensive line I have ever seen in my life. This offensive line needs to be revamped and I would take the DeShawn Watson out so he does not get hurt. That's exactly what I do in it is being a responsible and not letting your quarterback get killed I would never put DTR in there as well he is our future. I have been a offensive line and quarterback coach and I I am disgusted on what I saw on Sunday. If they are out of shape then they need to work out but honestly I think it is being flat-footed not moving their hips and moving side to side literally instead of just sitting watching their defender go around them. And if this is all they have and they need more athletic offensive lineman. End of sentence. Browns fans hang in there! It's looking like we need help at the offensive line coach and let's get some offensive lineman in there that are athletic that can move we will never survive this whole season until this is fixed
It seems like the line blocked better at the end when Watson was calling protections
You are so right on everything you said
It was most def a combo man. I had to take a break just from all my browns content man😂 but it’s week 3 man this cannot be this season. I pray they find the solution I ain’t hopping off the ship but man they gotta give us something as fans who ride with em!
You need to do a breakdown show with QC
That was Watsons best game this season! The Oline is the worse I’ve seen it since they been back in 99. G Bush I’m with you on this.
Where can I get the all-22 at
I remember John Dorsey and Baker.😢 Things were good.
Jimmy Haslam is a mole for the Steelers. They planted him as Brown's owner to sabotage the Brook Field Browns.
We have "NEVER" had the LIne to go 5 wide. NOT LAST YEAR AND NOT THIS YEAR.
I keep saying our mistake happened when we gave 4 that contract we forget the hoops and hurdles we had to go thru just to get him here he never wanted to be in Cleveland we can’t win with a QB not fully committed to the squad the o line been bad this year for sure though
@@deereed3303if he wasn’t fully committed he wouldn’t be playing right now or fighting to stay out there and getting hit all day
@@Bravoo4 ever heard of above and beyond? Doing extra because you love your job? He said no to coming to Cleveland we had to do something that’s never been done in the NFL to get him here
The film don't lie....preach G
Front office knew they had problems and they did nothing...its on them aslo
G.Bush bringing the fire. Need you in that locker room. Good stuff thanks for breaking the game down
You right G. The film don’t lie. The line sucked this game. I can also find plenty of film that DW4 sucked. The problem is this whole organization is garbage. We knew what our line was in the off season and did NOTHING. That’s an organization issue. No WR with speed. No RB. No accountability. How can this be a dumpster fire 3 games into the season?
The reason they didn't run power, you just stated earlier. They can't get any push
Truth or CONSEQUENCES remember the television show time to face the facts and come to the TV and tell us what's going on
The Browns staff want to win Pretty in an imaginary passing offense. The Browns are a RUNNING team. They get exposed in pass pro because they are old & injured. They have to attack like a wounded animal to be effective. Chubb was the Battery. Chubb is the Heart. No speed in the receiving core. They are a not deep shot team. Not a long developing play offense. They need a power run game to open the field. We have always been a power team because our division demands it.
Bill Callahan is gravely missed
To get to the ROOT CAUSE of ALL of these problems you have to look at who put this team together and that man is Andrew Berry. This is Andrew Berry’s team. Period!
Guess when you pay a lot of money nothing works out for us
10 years for Bitonio eventually you know the body is not made to take that pounding he's paid his dues
This why I watch g bush.....he spit them facts...uncensored.....way better then that jay and mcnuggets show 😂💯💯
Legitimate contender
OUR
GUARDIANS
There's no roster space for new replacement players
Watson isn’t a horrible QB because the line is bad, which is what the video is about, he’s just a lousy QB
30th in qbr this year
For a guy that was a player this dude is surely affected and bothered by what fans think. Challenge the coaches and front office to watch film with ya’. No one else counts.
Truth bombs by G. BUSH. The Browns have two logos and two mascots (hapless trick play beta male elf and a sleeping dog). Pick a damn identity. You do not have the personnel on offense to be the Chiefs or the mastermind creativity of Andy Reid. You got Vrabel though (future HC/GM who embodies that Dog).
From what I seen from Watson he gets 0 blame. He has worked his ass off and never gives up. The narrative of Watson is tiresome when he’s clearly not the problem. Coaching, play calling, Oline.
The browns were an organization on the rise. They beat Pittsburgh in the playoffs in Pittsburgh, and then sold the farm for Watson. It didn’t go well. Flacco came in and saved the season. Flacco left and Watson was given the reigns again. And again the ship is sinking. Who’s the common denominator? Massage Watson. That’s who. If Mayfield can win and Flacco can win but Watson can’t you blame the coach? lol. Sound logic bro.
They are a train wreck.
But G, we lead the league in cap space!!! Cap space tool zero snaps at tackle and receiver for us Sunday. What are we doing...
Stefanski might look like Oprah on roller skates
But y’all love to blame it on Watson tho. Let’s be honest if y’all spend more time talking about the real reason the Browns suck stead gas lighting the Watson hate maybe real fans will find you credible Bush. Your high one day low the other got stop. Baker Mayfield Joe Woods Stump Mitchell Mike Prifer Alex Vanpelt and Bill Callahan all made kevin Coach of the year twice None of them on the team now so who we Blaming, yea Kevin fraud Stafanski got go.
Don't blame Bush, blame the #1 Watson hater Jason Lloyd & Mr. Burrow fanboy Adam The Bull. They're the ones reiterating that nonsense.
Not saying Deshaun’s looked perfect, but no matter who the browns qb is fans will always end up blaming the qb
So let me get this straight, the Browns were a legitimate contender, Stekanski came in and they went from 0-16 to beating Pittsburgh in the playoffs IN PITTSBURGH, and even gave the chiefs about all they could handle, and the organization was definitely on the rise, and then they sold the farm for Watson who’s been a shell of himself and absolute disaster and you’re blaming Stefanski? Sounds about right…😅
Watson sucks, what's the excuse for the last 3 years for watson??
This wasn’t on Watson! I thought he played better last week.
So why did you predict a win?
I'm a Browns fan I'll make the call yeah anytime you want you want to do something in our home do it it's our home
People's jones....they traded it away
I wanted J Willis gone this year and he is back and as bad and hurt again as usual. Jones hurt again? Now Teller. We have too many injuries too early in the season. And, Why we didn't invest in a down field receiver I don't understand. Great point, the play calling was terrible!!! Why can't Cleveland get a great offense coordinator & great playbook???
Put up all 22
My Bengals have the worst Dline in the NFL
I think you forgot the play that deshaun Watson almost killed amari Cooper with a throw at the end of the game which is why amari Cooper has an injury designation today maybe you forgot that throw
It is definitely not DeShaun Watson he played his best game last weekend there was improvement as you can see in the film we need to stop with the Sean right now let's focus with the offensive line where the plane needs to be right now and let's get this fixed people
IT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN U BUY TO.MANY SKILLED PEOPLE WHEN GAMES ARE
WON BY YOUR OFFENSE AND DEFENSEIVE LINE CONKLIN TO OLD AND INJURY PRONE
WILLS, AND HOW MANY FILMS DO U
HAVE TO SEE WHERE WILLS QUITS BEFORE THE
WISTLE IF THAY DON'T WANT TO PLAY BENCH AND PLAY PEOPLE THAT
WANT TO KICK ASS
AND TAKE NAMES
G. Bush even though you present facts, these DW haters will try to refute the proud that our o line is straight garbage. The play calling is horrible. If Hue Jackson would have went for a forth down on his own 29 yard line, the Browns beat writers like your boy’s Jason, Bull & Jay would have been hollering for his firing. They never have one word to say negative about that bum who has no clue.
Hue was 1-31 😂 Kevin has went to the playoffs twice. Watson is trash he got to go
@@anthonypa8045 with 1 All Pro on the team, which proves you don’t know anything about football.
The gravy has a awful taste
You are just looking for scapegoats. WE dont have QB. Desjaun and the receivers look like they belong in a senior community. Berry and Kevin have nothing to show but a few more lost years. Waiting for Deshaun was like waiting for JOsh Gordon. It's not gonna happen.
G. Bush is Watson's biggest cheerleader i'vd been qatching football since the 60's and watson stinks. Yes the line stinks where is his leadership he has to be a vocal keader . Wills checked out he's a joke Browns should cancel his contract for quiting.
Wow from 1st to worst in one season
You lose the best O-line coach in the league it makes a difference. Deshaun is still holding on to the ball too long, always has
They wasn’t first last year ..the o line haven’t lived up to the preseason hype since baker mayfield lol
All downhill
dickerson sucks gotta go browns have not addressed the ooolineee for years but hey they gave up 3 first round picks way to go ab
Many of the best OL are drafted in later rounds. The picks in higher rounds are for elite QBs, WRs, and certain defensive players
james hudson is trash out need to be out the league
What a surprise… G bush defending Watson not matter what… ITS EVERYBODY ELSES FAULT BUT WATSON….
Grow up stop crying
I'm going to guess with you, it's ALL Watson. The health of the O-Line has been ass for the last few years. And that isn't a good thing for any QB.
Watson has been bad, but context is lost here. Can't run the ball, can't do anything else effectively
@@Francisc01 god forbid I expect some level of consistency from an browns “commentators”
Nawl bruh football is a team game every unit and every player has a role every coach has a role not just one 1 player it ain’t all on Watson
All you gotta do is watch the film. The eye on the sky don’t look lie!!
The major problem is Watson
You crazy! He was bad in game one but once again someone making comments that don’t have a clue about real football! The oline is terrible. The RB terrible… the WR are just average!
@@georgeblackwell4670 Watson is a horrific QB and an even worse person. He won’t lead the team anywhere but to last place.
@@georgeblackwell4670 you’re nothing but a fanboy
You must hate your boring broke life! Im a realist
@@georgeblackwell4670 Watson is real bad
Cause they didn’t sign williams when they coulda shoulda and Watson is grossly overpaid. Who calling those plays. Gump?
Where do Cleveland keep getting these soft uninterested football players from high school players have more fire
I would rather see that gay dude on Cleveland's defense doing gay dances constantly that'll mean their winning at least 😂😂😂😂😂
Been a Browns fan a LONG time and I don’t think I’ve ever read, listened to or watched a better break-down of a disturbing Browns game ever.
Great, great stuff GBush.
It was most def a combo man. I had to take a break just from all my browns content man😂 but it’s week 3 man this cannot be this season. I pray they find the solution I ain’t hopping off the ship but man they gotta give us something as fans who ride with em!
I’m glad someone sees this our offensive line will get someone killed I can’t believe they expect Watson to do anything with this most ppl don’t know how it feels to get tackled nobody wants to get hit every play let alone throw a football against the best of the best with a trash o line it’s hopeless
Why dont we do what teams do to Myles Garrett... Screenplays, delay hand offs, quick passing, designed QB runs.
It’s too obvious for our team coaching staff to do that we gotta do everything the hard way smh
When we do a delay handoff ford fumbles the rock 😭
Stankfanski is to smart to call screens.
@@chriscook629and also one earlier in the first half Willis didn’t block the right end at all and Ford was tackled for a loss.
outschemed for 3 years
You are right, QB sneak on 3rd down was crazy. The coach think he is the smartest person on the sideline...we are doomed 😢
Yea that was not a good call at all
Sounds to me that we missed good coaching especially on the offensive line
Andrew Berry's draft picks suck
Facts. The watson trade sucks too
Derrick Has to control the line of scrimmage with his cadence.
When a D lineman was guessing the snap count and being over aggressive...
The first thing i did was go to the QB and tell him to change the snap count.
Make em jump offsides.
Next play when they hesitate i would put them on they back cause they weren't ready
The players are responsible for making adjustments aswell
Hey KD dont tell KS jack sh't let him figure it out and go somewhere next year where you will get some respect and embarrassed for you KS did you wrong man.
Little humor. Gravy doesn't grow on trees,and some people are swimming in the gravies😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
That touchdown pass in the endzone red zone pass the defender just watched and didn't even try to push the receiver out of bounds....thats pathetic.
I blamed the whole team but I didn't single out folks like you did but maybe I need to that as well. I hit the nail on the head with this message to the team. These dudes are getting old and time ain't on their side. Kevin your the problem.
Myles is about to check out like KD did when KS took over his playbook.
Hey G ask QC why he's eating Birthday 🎂 with KS. LOL
Mannn...I'm 34 years old, never seen our offensive line play this bad. The line at the end of last year was not only better but SIGNIFICANTLY better with dudes off the street.
Stop throwing the ball around like the run and shoot offense of the Houston Oilers. Let's pound the rock and get physical, use Play action passing, protect the offensive line.
Why is myles playing basketball?
In the off season wtf!!!! His feet are pounding on hardwood floors all spring and summer.
5 minutes before kick off His feet hurt, yah think,!!!
He has fallen arches through nobody's fault but his own.. won't make the season
Thank you for speaking the truth G. This coaching staff acts like nothing is wrong. They make no changes, keep the same personell packages, the same vanilla and predictable plays. There's a lot to fix and I'm not sure this coaching staff can do it.
Is bad all around. But we got to stop pretending like watson is all of sudden playing bad because of the line. Its been bad with him since he got here. Right now the line is horrible, receivers cant get open, playcalling is bad, and the QB been trash. I agree is not fair to put it all on one person but we have to stop acting like these are the reasons DW is not playing good. And he had wayyyy more bad throws then just 3 or 4 GB. It gets harder and harder for you to hide the fanboy in you. I suggest you look at Quincy's DW film breakdown and stop with the excuses. Shit is getting old already.
Stefansky knows what the problem is I hope he fixes the problem and what they really need is athletic offensive lineman end of sentence and these guys just don't have that I'm sorry. I love my browns and this is the real story that is just come to reality this past weekend. Forget running backs wide receivers in the draft coming up stop stop with that. Athletic offensive lineman should be on the table first three rounds let's get this fixed
G Bush you hit the nail on the head with this one. It's about time the Cleveland Media stop "sugarcoating" everything thats wrong with this team.
You have had all off season to find 5 guys and 5 backups to play O line. No excuses it is just Browns football for another year.
MAN g Kevin really abandon the run way to fast. It’s simple football that the pass game is helped by a run game that throws the defenses off!
G. Bush keepin’ it real as always. Appreciate you G! Let em’ have it dude! 🤬🤬
Would love to see you breakdown the film on your page! Your commentary is needed
G. BUSH Always keepin' it real! I agree 100% about everything you said!
Fans knew that Wills and Jones were not ready! Fans of Cle knew and seen 4 themselves the TRUTH
1-2
0-2 @ home
No home field advantage this year
Let Dorsey call it for 3-4 games, then we’ll know.
We are under a 500 team this year with a losing home record no Dome
