After Two Weeks, How Good Are The Browns?

Digging into what we have we learned and what questions need answers after two games.

Go back two weeks in your mind to Labor Day. If I came to you that day and said “In two weeks, the Browns will be 1-1, have scored 35 points and surrendered 46, while Jed Wills and Jack Conklin haven't played a snap, I bet you'd nod and say, “Not the best, but certainly not the worst. How has Watson looked?”

The point is, when you zoom out from the individual results of the games, it’s easier to see the big picture. The Browns were also 1-1 through two weeks last year, but they had a catastrophic game in Pittsburgh so 1-1 felt like a tragedy. This year, it’s the same record but the loss is already 8 days in the rearview and the upcoming schedule is as soft as it gets, with the Browns hosting the Giants before going to Las Vegas and Washington.

With all of that in mind, let’s take a moment to reassess what we’ve learned and what we still need to find out about the 2024 Cleveland Browns.

Starting with the offense, we have learned that the finished product is still a few weeks away. Gradual improvement has to be the goal with a unit that got very little time together in training camp and none in the preseason.
