Those four were in pure pass rush mode.  Not worrying about gaps. Not worried about containing.

agree.

Not to mention the entire game had established that the browns could get pressure with 4...  So all they had to do in secondary was to cut off short routes.  The only play really at that point was check down to ETN.  But ETN was on the off side of Trevor's first read.  There was no other outlet, and Trevor was basically a cooked goose.

But yeah, it was a perfect play call...  Naw, it wasn't.  It was a dumb call considering down, distance, and the feel of the game.  There should have been a quick slant option on the 1st read side, or they should have just redirected to ETN.  Neither of those were conceptualized in that play call.  

It was a terrible play in reality.  In fantasy, if all things were perfect (IE a great O-Line), then yeah, it would have worked.  But we all knew there was no way that was going to work when we were watching on Sunday.  It was a destined to lose play call.
