Daryl Ruiter tells Ken and Lima he sees bigger problems after the loss, calling it “same old Browns” and pointing to the team being outscored 65-13 in first quarters, the lack of physicality, and no response after Jared Verse got flipped on his head. He says the blame is shared by an offensive line that allowed eight sacks, a streaky Deshaun Watson, and a run game that has had one good week, and he names offensive line and tight end as the priorities before the trade deadline. Ruiter calls New Orleans and Houston winnable games before the bye, and Ken agrees the way they lost bothered him more than the loss itself.
