![]() ![]() While Billings may have done everything he can to keep in great shape, there is no substitute for being on the field with your teammates, working together in the weight and training rooms, and being engaged in the daily routines of NFL life. Billings was not around the team, not able to work with the training staff, and lost much of the routine that is established by most NFL players. Opting out due to COVID-19 was completely different than missing a season due to injury. Many players have missed whole seasons due to injury or suspension and returned the following season. It is important to note that Billings' year off could be significant but is a big unknown as well. That puts a lot of hope on Richardson bouncing back, the development of Elliott and Taylor as well as Billings debut/return to the team. With resources needed for cornerbacks, safeties, and edge players, as well as the possibility of adding to the linebacker spot, the interior defensive line could be ignored. In 2021, the Browns have a variety of needs on the defensive side of the ball which could lead to them rolling out a similar group of defensive tackles. In 2020, the Browns interior defensive line was the definition of middling. Ogunjobi and Elliott ranked 106 and 107, respectively, grading out at 51.4 and 51.3 while Taylor was graded at 57.0 overall but didn't have enough snaps to count in their rankings. Richardson ranked the highest with a 68.7 grade, good for 48th out of 126 interior defensive linemen. ![]() Pro Football Focus was not too high on any of the Browns players. The two reserves combined for 27 tackles with Taylor adding 2 tackles for loss, a quarterback hit, and a fumble recovery. Ogunjobi had 46 tackles, 2.5 sacks, five tackles for loss, 6 quarterback hits, and one forced fumble. Richardson combined for 64 tackles, 4.5 sacks, 5 tackles for loss, 10 quarterback hits, three pass deflections, and one forced fumble. Their stats didn't jump off the page in 2020. According to Pro Football Reference, Richardson led the way by playing 69% of the Browns defensive snaps while Ogunjobi took 57 percent, Elliott 27 percent, and Taylor 18 percent. Sheldon Richardson and Larry Ogunjobi started while rookie Jordan Elliott and Vincent Taylor took snaps. ![]() Instead, Billings opted out of his contract due to COVID-19 concerns and the Browns went forward with the interior defensive linemen that were on the roster, for the most part. Goodson, and Kevin Johnson on one-year deals to come to Cleveland as new general manager Andrew Berry looked to buttress the defense in the short-term. Billings joined players like Karl Joseph, B.J. The Browns signed Billings away from the Cincinnati Bengals last offseason but only on a one-year deal for $3.5 million. txt format.(Photo: Courtesy of the Cleveland Browns)Īs we march through Defensive Tackle Week here at The OBR, one name continues to hover over the Cleveland Browns at that position: Andrew Billings.
