I think the defense figures it out. Myles, Harrison, and Ward are the only old faces. They'll eventually come together and be consistently on the same page. We saw flashes.
Stefanski though...
The Browns offense got whatever they wanted all game, but with it all on the line, we saw he doesn't trust Baker Mayfield. Baker has no say in changing the play. That 1st down play, you just knew there was gonna be no gain. If Baker had some pull, he audibles to a different play. We lost the game because we folded to the strength of the opposing defense. Chargers stacked the line, Browns still ran it, now it's 2nd and long. Then you wanna pass... incomplete. Then the 3rd and 9 call of showing zero belief in your franchise QB that is looking for a pay day. And you submit to the defense again.
Only if they ran a play action quick pass to Hunt or Hooper, then set up a 2nd and short. This was a terrible game to lose, because statistically, we had no business losing. Coaching and refs lost a very good game for us.
