3. Carson Schwesinger and Devin Bush vs. Lamar Jackson
Jackson might be the difficult quarterback to play against, perhaps even more than Patrick Mahomes. His otherworldly running ability makes him a threat to escape the pocket and score on the ground each and every snap, while he can pick defenses apart if given time in the pocket. The best way to defend against him is to make him uncomfortable with constant pressure, speeding up his internal clock, but at the same time preventing him from bailing and making things happen with his legs, whether that's scrambling for a first down or making an inexplicable throw on the run to a somehow wide-open target.
Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah helped with this in a tremendous way, not only because of his elite athletic gifts but also because of his high football IQ, playing an effective spy on Jackson and closing ground between the two much quickly than almost any other linebacker. Without JOK, that responsibility falls to the rookie Carson Schwesinger, who even though he plays a different LB role than JOK, possesses excellent physical traits and the football acumen to have earned the green dot responsibility as a rookie.
Former top-10 pick Devin Bush has also found a career renaissance in Cleveland, playing very well last season as a depth piece thrust into a larger role due to injury, and is now the team's starting SAM, playing very well last week. He looks more explosive and fast than he has since his college days, when he ran an elite 4.43-second 40-yard dash and jumped 40.5 inches in the vertical. The Browns have fast and athletic linebackers and will likely be in nickel most of the time against Baltimore, so Schwesinger and Bush will be relied on heavily to make sure Jackson doesn't do nearly as much damage as he could.
