I remember being at the Browns game thinking "How is it possible that Jaylen Warren is our best offensive player?!?" (with the possible exception of Pickens) and I found myself thinking the same thing yesterday. If Pickens gains consistency, he could earn that distinction. But with a lot of high pedigree talent on O, how is this possible?!? (nothing against Jaylen btw, who is amazing) thanks :)

Pickens is their best offensive player if you ask me. When Diontae Johnson and Pat Freiermuth are healthy, they're in the mix for 2 and 3. Keep in mind they're missing some of that high-pedigree talent. To narrow the scope of this discussion, it really comes down to why is the undrafted free agent running back so frequently impacting winning more than the first-round pick at his position? Good on Najee Harris for how he ran against the Texans. But the occasional performance like that isn't worth what this team invested in him.

"Behind closed doors", do you feel that the defense feels that the offense isn't carrying their share of the load?

How could they not? That's human nature. But they also knew what they were getting into this season, I assume. Maybe the preseason small sample size of offensive efficiency gave everyone some warm and fuzzies. Now it's more like deja vu from 2022.

OK folks, that hour flew by, with so many (so many) questions. The bad news is I couldn't possible answer them all. The good news is Ray Fittipaldo will be in the chat chair tomorrow for you. Hopefully he can coordinate a good one!
