For a team that fell to an extremely underperforming Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1, the Browns sure do have a lot to say.
First, when Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy was asked about what challenges the Ravens’ secondary may pose, his answer was simple:
“No challenges at all.”
Jeudy is coming off the best season in his professional career, where he made the Pro Bowl for the first time, and posted a season with over 1,000 receiving yards for the first time. He has every right to be feeling confident about his game.
It’s certainly bold of him though to call out a group of defensive backs filled with first round draft picks and multiple time Pro Bowlers, but that’s why they play the game.
Not too long after Jeudy called them out, on the other side of the ball, Delpit had his eyes on perhaps the best running back in the game today in Henry.
When asked “How hard is it to bring Derrick Henry down?”
Delpit’s response: “Not hard.”
Very interesting. However, if you remember last season, it was Delpit who got the best of Henry.
Now it's starting to make sense.
At the age of 31, an age where most running backs typically hang up the cleats, Henry hasn’t slowed down. In a remarkable effort to keep his body ready for the punishment that an NFL running back takes, he’s still consistently at the top of the list in terms of elite running backs.
Just this past week in the crushing defeat against the Bills, Henry once again made every fan's jaw drop.
Eighteen carries, 169 rushing yards, two touchdowns, three separate runs for 30 yards or more.
A truly remarkable outing that was ultimately tarnished with a late-game fumble that allowed the Buffalo Bills to come out with a victory.
Now, Delpit is no slouch. He’s posted two consecutive seasons with seven tackles for loss, and led the Browns last season with 68 solo tackles. Tackling is one of Delpit’s specialties, and from the looks of it, he’ll welcome any contact that approaches him – even if it’s a 252 pound mammoth who runs nearly 22 miles per hour.
However, the Browns do need to be careful.
Prior to the season, the Ravens were consistently in league-wide chatter about being a Super Bowl contender. Even though the loss against Buffalo was heartbreaking, they’re not a fragile team by any means.
You keep poking the bear when it's asleep, and it will pounce. But maybe that’s what the Browns are looking for? Stay tuned on Sunday afternoon.
