The first week of the preseason has wrapped http://www.brownsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-larry-ogunjobi-jersey , and not only did the Cleveland Browns get a victory over the New York Giants, they also boasted some strong performances from individual players, particularly on offense. Pro Football Focus compiled their Team of the Week for both offense and defense based on their Week 1 preseason grades, and two Browns made the list on the offensive side of the ball.Tight end David Njoku, who caught two passes—both for touchdowns—on three targets and totaled 46 yards was named the week’s best tight end. Pro Football Focus gave him a 91.2 grade for the week. Left tackle Greg Robinson was the site’s top performer at his position, with an 81.8 grade. PFF’s Michael Renner wrote that, “[o]n 44 snaps against the Giants, Robinson yielded all of one hurry in an impressive outing.”Those snap counts matter when it comes to these rankings, it should be kept in mind. Renner noted that, “making this team isn’t quite as simple as earning the highest grade at your position in a given week,” and that “[w]eighting has been given towards playing time.” Thus, the New York Jets’ Sam Darnold was named the top quarterback of the week despite having a lower PFF grade than the Browns’ Tyrod Taylor. Darnold had 19 pass attempts to Taylor’s five, pairing a strong performance with extended playing time. However Jarvis Landry Jersey , Taylor would have been PFF’s No. 2 quarterback of the week without playing time taken into account. Taylor graded higher than Darnold, with the Jets rookie posting an 80.8 grade to Taylor’s 86.7. Below, we analyze the snap counts and stats on defense for the Cleveland Browns’ Week 3 game against the New York Jets.Defensive LinePosPlayerPlays%StatsPosPlayerPlays%StatsThis was the first game in which Larry Ogunjobi out-snapped Myles Garrett, and apparently, being worked to death isn’t hurting either of them. Garrett had two sacks, the second of which came on the Jets’ final drive — the play where replay review ruled he was down. Ogunjobi, meanwhile, bull-rushed the Jets’ center into Sam Darnold, helping force the interception that Joe Schobert nabbed.Per PFF, “Ogunjobi now leads the Browns with 11 pressures on the year after creating just 12 all of last season.” Garrett and Ogunjobi both made the list of Top 5 defenders of Week 3.Don’t sneeze at the job that Chris Smith did again, filling in for Emmanuel Ogbah. Smith forced three tackles for losses. The defensive line had 7 of the team’s 10 tackles for a loss.The reps for Anthony Zettel, Chad Thomas, and Carl Davis remain limited.LinebackerPosPlayerPlays%StatsPosPlayerPlays%StatsThis was a standout game for LB Joe Schobert Authentic Nick Chubb Jersey , who answered the bell of me asking him to make more high impact plays. His interception pretty much sealed the game, and in the first half, he nearly had a diving interception (which instead was just a knockaway). Schobert was PFF’s second-highest graded player on defense with an 89.5.Genard Avery saw 57% of the snaps, a number that ballooned due to the MCL injury that forced James Burgess to exit early. Burgess was playing well before his injury.CornerbackPosPlayerPlays%StatsPosPlayerPlays%StatsAfter a “meh” Week 2, Denzel Ward was lights out against the Jets in Week 3. He was the team’s highest-graded defender by PFF with a 90.9. Per PFF, Ward allowed just 2 catches for 9 yards in the 4 times he was targeted. He also forced a big fumble on WR Robby Anderson in the third quarter. Ward returned the ball to the 8 yard line, but Cleveland could only manage a field goal off of that.Terrance Mitchell? No complaints here — he is 3-of-3 with solid performances, by my estimation. For the second week in a row, T.J. Carrie took over for Briean Boddy-Calhoun in the nickel. Some more coverage of Ward’s early-season success can be found here.SafetyPosPlayerPlays%StatsPosPlayerPlays%StatsDespite his heel injury, Damarious Randall played all but one snap. It was his quietest game of the season, but I probably attribute that to the Jets choosing not to throw more than 5 yards downfield all game.For the first time this season, Jabrill Peppers out-snapped Derrick Kindred.
