Kevin Stefanski: No longer having receivers is not any excuse in Browns’ loss to Jets

Dropping your complete group of starting receivers not as much as 24 hours earlier than a sport is definitely not as much as supreme. And judging by the discontinuance outcomes of the Browns’ 23-16 loss to the hapless Contemporary York Jets, they would furthermore simply bear ancient Jarvis Landry, Rashard Higgins and Dovonan Peoples-Jones.

“I deem you’ll consult with Baker quickly and he’ll agree with what I am telling you guys,” Stefanski acknowledged. “We had all of the avid gamers we wished. We had heaps of energetic. We relied on the fellows that we were playing at the present time. That’s why they’re Cleveland Browns. That’s not the fable right here.”

Sooner than the sport, the Browns spent the morning in a parking storage adjacent to the group resort working thru their walkthrough which was canceled the day previous to this. Although Cleveland’s have-in receivers Marvin Hall, Derek Willies and Ja’Marcus Bradley had but to study up on sport circulate all twelve months, they were willing for this afternoon’s sport.

“It was fairly of too gradual in the week to wholesale alternate the total lot and we didn’t must,” Stefanski acknowledged. “These guys were in the full conferences. They were at the walkthroughs and at put collectively. They understood the notion.”
