3 Questions the Cleveland Browns need to answer vs. the Chicago Bears

Question two: What can the Cleveland Browns do to maintain Justin Fields?

At this point, I don’t know why the Bears wouldn’t start Justin Fields over Andy Dalton. He shined all preseason and the Bears were just giving him as much time as possible to learn. Now that there was an injury, I really don’t see them turning back to Dalton, no matter what the head coach says.

This will be a very difficult week for the Browns to game plan. The Bears won’t name a quarterback until Thursday or Friday, so the Browns will have to scheme for both.

With Dalton being the easier to prepare for, expect Woods to focus on Fields being the starter. Fields’ biggest strength as a new quarterback in the NFL will be his feet. While he will want to throw the ball as much as possible, he will certainly use his speed as a weapon which can put a lot of additional pressure on the defense.

Time after time mobile quarterbacks have destroyed the Browns. Lamar Jackson seems to run for 100 yards every time they play him, and even Mahomes made the Browns defense pay a few times in week one.

Garrett and Clowney will have to play with discipline to keep Fields in the pocket, but you should also see increased usage in Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah as the spy. JOK will oversee following the quarterback’s eyes to get in passing lanes, as well as flying around the field to cut off angles if Field’s gets outside of the pocket.

This will be a difficult task for JOK but will get him prepared for upcoming matchups with the Ravens where he will have a similar job. Don’t be surprised to see Ronnie Harrison in the box some as the second linebacker to help in passing downs.
