The strength of the Cleveland Browns is its offensive line, which is where 4 of its 5 White starters are found. LG Joel Bitonio, C Ethan Pocic, RG Wyatt Teller and RT Jack Conklin are all among the best in the business at their positions.
Underachieving former first round draft pick Taven Bryan is the starting defensive tackle. Chase Winovich is a back-up defensive end, however after much preseason hype about how he would rotate in with Myles Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney, Winovich didn’t play a single defensive snap in Week One, though he was used as a WSTD. Whether this is the continuation of the pattern begun in New England, where Bill “The Genius” Belichick decided to place Winovich in his “doghouse” even after a strong rookie season, or the team is merely exercising caution after Winovich pulled a hammy in training camp is yet to be determined.
And that’s pretty much it for the Brownies in 2022. Harrison Bryant and Jesse James are back-up tight ends to the ridiculously overpaid bust David Njoku, and there are three back-up White o-linemen. No other Whites on the team besides the placekicker and long snapper. From the owner to the GM to Cleveland being Deshaun Watson’s new home to being a crudely constructed ultra-Caste team, the Browns are definitely a team to strongly root against this year.
