Browns vs Falcons Week 4: 3 key one on one matchups
By Jacob Roach
1. Martin Emerson vs Drake London
The Browns’ secondary has struggled compared to what many thought they would start the season having multiple missed assignments.
Martin Emerson was drafted to slow down these big physical wide receivers just like the one they face this week in Drake London. This week will be the perfect test to see if Emerson is ready to go against these types of players.
It has been a rollercoaster first three games of the year for Emerson who has made some nice plays and also had a few rookie mistakes that resulted in big plays for the opposing team. The Falcons’ offense is humming and a major part of that is rookie Drake London who is someone the Browns have got to limit if they are to win.
One thing the Falcons’ offense has had to a detriment is they have turned the ball over a few times each week. The Browns’ defense has struggled to cause turnovers but they must capitalize this weekend to slow the Atlanta offensive attack.
Martin Emerson has the tools to make a difference against London and will have to be physical and stay on London when in coverage.
