It was a challenging setting to have his first start as a rookie \u2013 an international game against a talented defense. Let\u2019s look at what Gabriel did well in this matchup and how confident the team should be in him moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>Gabriel completed 19 of his 33 passes for 190 passing yards and threw two touchdowns without any interceptions. His decision-making stood out, and he made decisive throws throughout the game, even when he struggled with accuracy. It was uncertain whether the game would move too fast for the rookie, but he looked very confident.<\/p>\n<p>One of the more encouraging parts of Gabriel\u2019s performance was his mobility. He was able to escape pressure in multiple key moments in this game and extend plays with his legs. As he gets more comfortable running this offense, this skill will be a big asset for the Cleveland offense.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest area of concern for Gabriel was his arm strength. He was not often asked to throw downfield in this game, but when he was, those throws were not some of his best. It will be challenging for the Browns to put up large numbers of points on the board in the future if they cannot push the ball downfield.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With one game under Dillon Gabriel\u2019s belt, how should the Browns feel about him going into the rest of the season?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34889,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cleveland-browns"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
