LB Bradley Chubb

(It seems like the Browns possess a one-two punch.) – “Yeah, for sure. They’ve got two great running backs. I feel like Nick (Chubb) is in a league of his own, does a lot of great things. He’s one of those people that he gets stronger as the game goes on. And as you hit him more and more, he just keeps churning those legs and keep doing what he does. And Kareem Hunt is kind of more of the same. Like real electric, could do a lot of things. Like I said, once you hit him, he kind of bounces off and gains acceleration off stuff like that. So it’s going to be a good challenge for us and we’re excited about it.”

(Head Coach Mike McDaniel said moments ago that the Browns are no joke, despite their record. Just what have you seen on film?) – “I see a physical group. The offensive line is physical with the guys up front. Like I said, those backs do a great job of continuing to move and never being down off first contact. They got a great receiving corps. Jacoby (Brissett) is an NC State guy, so I always pull for him. It’s going to be fun man. It’s a big challenge for us because at the end of day, like you said, their record reflects a whole different thing. We just can’t go in there with a mindset of whatever they are and we can just run over them. We just got to go out there and do what we know what to do, and that’s play good defense, stop the run and get after the quarterback in those passing situations.”

(What are some of the differences against a team that has a traditional running game with running backs as opposed to stopping a scrambling quarterback?) – “It’s more of a line up and play what you see type thing. A scrambling quarterback is kind of like, whatever he sees, he’s going to take. But these guys, they do a good job too of taking what they can get as well. We just got to be disciplined in our gaps and nobody trying to play hero ball, trying to play two gaps at once and knocking off a different guy. That’s when they crease you for 30 or 40 yards at a time. So if we just play gap, fundamentally sound football, I feel like we will be fine.”

(What are you personally hoping to get out of this week, your second week with the team?) – “Just to get better, man. I feel like last week I was kind of playing a little tentative just because I didn’t really know, I didn’t want to mess up and stuff like that. But now I’m just trying to let my hair down – as much hair as I got (laughter) – let it all down and just go out there and play.”

(What’s this process been like for you? Transferring teams midseason, you got to move to a new place, no bye week in between.) – “It’s hectic. But at the end of the day, man, it’s fun. I get to go out here and play football with a whole new group of guys that I’m learning, and I’m still figuring out. They’re still figuring me out as well. So it’s cool just to see how it’s going from the first game to however long we’re playing until the end of the season, how it’s going to transform, and how it’s going to grow closer together and stuff like that. I always look at it as a fun challenge just because it’s easy to be in the same spot, learn the same defense, know all this and then just kind of coast. But it’s hard to pick up and move and do all this and still have success. That’s my main thing is trying to be the best me I can be out here.”

(What’s been your impression now that you’ve had more time with Head Coach Mike McDaniel?) – “Everything’s straightforward. It’s not guessing or how does he feel about me doing this. Everything is straightforward. You know what you’re expected of. You know what you got to go out there and do on Sundays. I feel like it’s a good thing because players up front are telling me what I got to do and stuff like that. In practices, he takes care of us as well and makes sure our bodies are good. I feel like it’s a great staff, man. I’m just glad to be a part of this organization.”
