4 Under the radar Cleveland Browns players who need to shine in Week 11
Odell Beckham, Jr., Wide Receiver
Why would your generational talent receiver be on this list? What real threat has Odell Beckham, Jr. been this season? Aside from the one game he scored in, he has been invisible.
His stats are shockingly uncharacteristic, his antics are borderline mutinous, but his comments are supportive of the team as a whole.
This tells me that he wants to win, feels this team can win, and is pissed off that this team is losing. Alright OBJ, I’m on board with you man.
As a die-hard fan, I’m pissed too. The fans expected much more from this talented team and having him break out against an AFC North rival could help catapult him to success this season.
Greg Robinson, Left Tackle
If the Browns hope to get their passing game going rolling on Thursday night Football, starting left tackle Greg Robinson needs to summon the talent he once had. Head coach Freddie Kitchens needs to call an offense similar to that of the second half of last season and keep Baker upright and accurate.
Robinson, a former second overall pick, seemed to revitalize his career in that stretch but it wasn’t just due to his talent. Instead, it was thanks to smart play-calling that kept defenses off balance and got the ball out of Baker’s hands.
Still, Robinson did his part and against a strong Pittsburgh pass rush, they will need him to do it again this week should they have any hope of winning.
Next. Rudolph the Steelers answer to Baker?. dark
The plan should be simple — establish the run, use effective play-action, get decent blocking from Greg Robinson and that will keep the Browns above water and give the defense a chance to shut down a sub-par Steelers offense.
