Browns Gab:
-
(On Marcus Bernard learning to play with his hand on the ground) – “He’s got a long way to go physically in terms of getting himself in the kind of shape and condition he needs to be in to compete. He’s working through that, he’s out there taking reps. I think he’ll agree and he’ll probably tell you he needs to make some strides there.”
(On what he means by “a long way to go”) – “He’s just got to get in a little bit better playing shape.”
(On if Benard bulked up too much) – “I don’t know. He’s one of those guys that I wasn’t around a year ago. Based on what I’ve seen he needs to do that.”
(On Brandon Jackson playing against his former team) – “He did some things in the practice Saturday I thought were impressive. He’s got burst, he’s got size and he’s a good runner. I’m sure he’ll be amped up to play his former team. A team he contributed greatly to, he started 13 games for them. I’m sure he’s got a lot of friends there. He’s not unlike a lot of free agents that go to another team. I’m sure he’s got a lot of very strong relationships there. It will be one of those deals where he’s a Cleveland Brown and he’ll compete, but he’ll have a lot of hellos, handshakes and hugs I’m sure.”
(On Brandon Jackson not having a penalty or lost fumble during his four seasons with the Packers) – “Sounds good to me. I think I knew that. It’s important. You want guys that are durable, productive and efficient and he’s displayed that.”
(On having a third true tackle or a guy flexible between positions) – “Ideally, you’d like to have, on game day, a guy who can backup tackle and guard. Obviously, the backup guys have to move on both sides. Then you’d like to have a guy that’s your backup center and guard. We’re developing those guys in the midst of those guys competing. There’s a long list of those guys at this point.”
(On if it’s tougher on Branndon Braxton because he’s a true tackle) – “No, I think it’s important that you are trying to either develop a tackle to be here or if you don’t have that then you do something to go get one. He has a body type and we feel like his best position to make this team is at tackle. I don’t think that hurts his chances.”
