Bernie Kosar Predicts Watson's Next Big Leap Against Giants

In this video, Bernie Kosar predicts Deshaun Watson's next big leap against the New York Giants. Find out why he thinks Watson will shine in this upcoming game! #DeshaunWatson #NewYorkGiants #NFLpredictions
Deshaun Watson walked off the field following a dreadful home opener two weeks ago with a towel covering his head, looking as if he was trying to hide. He's returning a little less embarrassed. A much better performance last week in a 18-13 win at Jacksonville boosted Watson's confidence as the Browns (1-1) prepare to host the New York Giants (0-2) on Sunday. Still, Cleveland's quarterback said there's plenty of room for improvement.
It's no different for the Giants, who retreated to their locker room in disgust and disbelief last week after scoring three touchdowns to Washington's none and still losing 21-18 as the Commanders kicked seven field goals.
In the aftermath, coach Brian Daboll was criticized for not having a second kicker active and available in case Graham Gano, who went into the game nursing a groin injury, got hurt. As luck, or in this case bad luck would have it, Gano injured his hamstring on the opening kickoff.
New York punter Jamie Gillan missed an extra point, and the Giants failed on a pair of 2-point tries, leading to Daboll having to fend off questions about his decision and future. Watson's bounce-back gave the Browns some hope that he's finally moved past two disappointing seasons.
Showing more decisiveness than in the opener - his first game since shoulder surgery in November - Watson went 22 of 34 for 186 yards and scored on a 1-yard run against the Jaguars. He also made a couple of improvised plays that only a few QBs in the NFL could dare duplicate.
It was a major step forward after Watson was inaccurate and unsteady in the opener against Dallas, a debut dud he attributed to a long layoff and Cleveland's new offense.
“It’s just Game 2, just more reps and just getting comfortable with the scheme,” Watson said. “That was our first time, all 11 of us together plus the coaching staff together calling the plays and just operating in a live setting.
Amari Cooper has been unrecognizable on the field. Cleveland's No. 1 receiver in his No. 2 jersey hasn't looked like himself. Despite being targeted 17 times by Watson, Cooper has caught just five passes for 27 yards in the first two games. The five-time Pro Bowler has dropped two long passes in key spots - one of them an easy touchdown.
It's the worst start in a 10-year career for Cooper, who made a surprising admission this week when he said hadn't been practicing with the same focus. He said that all changed this week.
“Just me knowing my game, knowing myself, just got to go out there and play my brand of football, play to my standard,” said Cooper, who is in his final year under contract. “I haven’t been doing that the past couple of weeks, but I’ve been motivated, so it’s time to get going. I’ll be back.”
New York's passing game has spent a lot of time in one, ahem, Naber-hood. Jones has had targets on 65 of his 70 passes, with 25 directed at rookie Malik Nabers.
While maybe not ideal, Jones' attention to Nabers has been productive as the No. 6 overall pick from LSU has 15 catches for 193 yards and a touchdown. He's averaging 12.9 yards per grab, ranking him in the top 5 in the league, but he also had a crucial drop in the fourth quarter at Washington. Jones expects the Browns to do their own focusing on Nabers, and understands he'd better have a Plan B.
The Browns are running afoul. Cleveland has been called for a league-high 24 penalties after two games, five more than the next closest team. After being whistled 11 times in the opener, the Browns were called for 13 last week, including three in a span of four plays as their self-inflicted errors pushed them out of field-goal range in the fourth quarter.
“We need to be better in that area,” coach Kevin Stefanski said. “It’s hard to win. We don’t need to make it harder on ourselves.” If there has been a weakness in the Giants defense under new coordinator Shane Bowen it’s been against the run. Opponents are averaging 163 yards through two games. The Commanders rolled up 215 yards with Brian Robinson gaining a career-high 133.
Giants inside linebacker Bobby Okereke said tackling and filling the right gaps were part of the problem. He added some players, himself included, are trying to do too much. “Talking about me specifically, kind of three quarters doing your job, a quarter trying to do someone else’s job, trying to make a play and that trickles down," he said. "Everybody just needs to focus on doing their job.”

G bush ...your big word game is 💣💥🔥....i had to look a couple definitions up. also thanks for standing up for the browns players on ucss panel!!

Gbush needs to look up about 50% of the big words he tries to use, so HE understands what they mean. 🤣

[@jaybavis5896]

I can't believe what I contenlty hear from this channel GBush .. these guys don't want DW4 there . There always looking for something to complain about. This just the second game . No quarterback played great. Yet why does the quarterback has to throw for 500 yards that means there's no defense. And if DW4 throw for 600 yards against the giants. They'll say giants defense was horrible. This dude cannot win because they don't like him .

Baker played great first 2 weeks, last 20 weeks of football infact

What a lame point.. way to blow it all out of proportion with fake numbers to fit your narrative.

[@richardsutherland8942]

Yup. Thats why I don’t take them seriously cause when he play bad oh put Winston in he ain’t worth the money. Like just admit you was wrong I would respect them way more. Watch he play good Sunday and they say well the giants were bad etc! Watch! I got a $100 on it! 🤣

@@richardsutherland8942 yep in 13 of watsons 15 starts in cleveland, his passer rating, and qbr have been below league average. 13 of 15 starts! Now this season he ranks 29th in passer rating. Those are facts. Yall got to accept reality

Ur right week 2 performance was not enough, he does need to take another big leap. Because week 2 he ranked 25th in passer rating and 21st in qbr, and we didnt get a td after the 1st qtr

[@irishspagetti6565]

I care about winning but i also care about the guy browns gave up the farm to get and are paying him to be franchise quarterback, i also care that the guy browns gave up on has outplayed Watson in every imaginable way, Watson deserves the scrutiny, he needs to be much better to get to where browns want to go, the defense can only do so much

[@justinlevyoflevytationmusic]

The film doesn’t say that Baker is better. The stats might but his play…..Watson is just a more talented player. Most in the league would agree.

[@anthonypa8045]

Ur right since the trade baker leads watson in qbr, passer rating, completion percentage, yards, tds, pff grade. Bakers won more playoff games and division titles and probowls since the trade too. Now this year baker leads nfl in tds! Watson has thrown 1 td and 2 picks. He ranks 29th in qbr. Watson has been trash

[@justinlevyoflevytationmusic]

@@BEEFCAKEDRIFTS Let’s just wait and see. 13 games won’t be able to prove if he’s better. I’m a former college player and I’m gonna listen to the other players. I’m listen to them say watson is more talented and has more gifts as a QB. You don’t have to listen to them. I will.

[@BEEFCAKEDRIFTS]

@@justinlevyoflevytationmusic former college player.. anyone wanting to continue playing football can play college. My high school could get back ups onto a college team if you really wanted to keep playing ball. Literally knew 3 guys who never played in hs go to some no name juco or d3. Personally I had offers to d1 schools to play baseball and played in the minors 5 seasons. I played QB my whole life until then. College ball is nothing like the nfl. Damn near completely different game. the players like Kurt Warner? Who said he isn’t seeing it? And many more former players saying he stinks? Watson can’t read defenses, Watson can’t throw a receiver open, hes scared in the pocket and runs around in circles until someone is wide open. He wasn’t that “talented” to begin with. God given ability sure. 3 years out of the game did him no favors. He’s playing at a rookie level and is required to be a game manager. Also speaking from experience.. continuous arm problems and tendinitis kept me out for a year I wasnt the same and was released.

[@keycash5007]

Yes it’s always quiet when We Win !! It’s kind of disgusting how they ignore the Browns

[@jamesmoore8491]

According to Deshaun Watson the rise of the two high defense is the reason the percentages of the quarterbacks are low .

[@chrisc3118]

Big leap?!?! You make Watson sound like he's a rookie and still improving! LMAO!!! He's washed up. Even Flacco, who came right off a couch looked so much better than Watson has ever looked while in Cleveland.
