In fairness to him the browns special teams were the true problem.
As an analyst, Orlovsky runs out of the endzone too.

His physical talent. So far as an OC, he’s been Kelly-esque and gotten less from his talent.
I’m a Tommy Rees fan but all the salivating credit that he got as a playcaller was simply taking plays from Andy Reid and the Chiefs and running the on Saturday’s.
The flow of his playcalling alone has never been great. Other than the plays he takes, his designs have not been anything but vanilla either.
He may succeed as a HC if he ever gets a job.
They gave up 6 sacks to a NYJ defense that's close to the bottom of the league (27th out of 32 teams).
It's up to Tommy Rees to make pass protection adjustments, and communicate them to his QB. He either isn't doing that, or Gabriel isn't making the right audibles.
If it's the latter, then he'd better be giving Dillon Gabriel the same speech he gave to Drew Pyne (Do your F*****G job!).
This is rather surprising, since Rees was one of the best QB's at Notre Dame that I've ever seen in one specific category, that he was easily among the top at making pass protection audibles on the fly.
Otherwise, with his 5.5 40 speed (that's actually being generous), he would have been sacked at a frightening rate at ND.
I saw that coming sitting in the stands and when I said it out loud because of the defense Michigan was in the people in the stands couldn't believe it.
On the play where he threw the ball into the dirt, there were three wide open receivers.

If he can't beat out Gabriel, then something's definitely amiss.
