From the episode

the only thing I've noticed is they're turning sacks into scramble first downs. That's a huge deal, right? Deshaun ate five sacks week one. They look terrible. All of a sudden, he's now tucking and running with those. And again, he doesn't look like his old Houston stuff. But that's a huge EPA boost.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Watson's scramble-to-first-down conversion is a huge EPA boost making him startable.

Matthew Berry notes Watson is now startable again after converting sacks into scramble first downs—a huge EPA boost compared to Week 1 when he ate five sacks. While he doesn't look like his old Houston form, the ability to tuck and run with scrambles represents a significant functional improvement that makes the Browns offense viable in Week 5 against the Jets.
