Sheder Sanders said he was convinced that he would align 53 men from Cleveland Browns despite the difficulties during the pre-season match on Saturday, adding that he was finally wanting to “be a player to be able to change a franchise”.
Sanders started the second half on Saturday against the Los Angeles Rams, only making 3 of the 6 passes for 14 yards. The recruit quarter has been dismissed five times and led the Browns to one first in its five series under the center.
But when he was asked if he thought he would list 53 men of the Browns, Sanders was clear in his answer: “obviously”.
“I think that, on the whole as a player, I put the work,” said Sanders after the 19-17 victory on Saturday. “I have the impression that everything I do, I try to do it with my best, and that’s all I can ask.
“I have the impression that everyone has the impression that they should be part of the team. If you ask someone in the team, they would have the impression of belonging – they belong to their own eyes. I feel like I do, but I am my own player. I think of myself in high esteem, of course. This is not my decision.”
A choice of fifth round in the draft of this year’s NFL, Sanders was part of a quarter-crowded quarter room with the Browns, who also have veterans Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and Tyler Huntley and his colleague Recruue Dillon Gabriel on their pre-season alignment.
The deadline for the NFL so that the teams reduce their lists to 53 players are at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, but the general manager Andrew Berry said earlier on Saturday that keeping up to four quarters is “not a decision”.
“We have a room that we love all guys there,” Berry told Nfl Network. “We don’t really see that as a problem. We see it more as an opportunity.”
Sanders was exceptional earlier this month at the opening of the pre-season and was sidelined for the second pre-season match of the Browns last weekend due to an oblique injury. The former Colorado star had a much more rough outing on Saturday and was visibly frustrated on the sidelines after being replaced at the end of the fourth quarter by Huntley, which orchestrated the winning goal campaign of Cleveland.
“In the fire of the battle, you want to be this alpha,” said Sanders. “You want to be this dog. You want to be there in this last two-minute journey. So, of course, small things, of course, frustrate, but that’s what’s going on when you want to be a player to be able to change a franchise.”
“That’s part of being recruited,” said Flacco. “You are going to be thrown into situations that you may not think of being ideal. … This is part of the game – part of what makes a football player learn to manage these situations and learn from them. So listen, we were all there. That’s part of the game.”
Sanders thought he was going to have the reins of the last trip after Jordan Waters of Los Angeles marked on a race of 2 yards with 2:08 to play. But Browns coach Kevin Stefanski told Sanders that he was going with Huntley.
“It was not my decision,” said Sanders. “Of course, this is the dream of each quarter and that is why each quarter -Arrière prosperous – these moments – so it was not me.
“I was happy that Huntley entered, and he managed his business. If someone else did it, it would be him.”
According to Sanders faced four Blitzes, according to NFL statistics in NFL, and was dismissed on three of these pieces. Gabriel, meanwhile, faced only one blitz and has not been dismissed, completing 11 of the 17 passes for 129 yards.
Sanders said that one of the reasons he had taken so many bags was that he wanted to “get a spark in the offensive” and “make big games”.
“You just want to spark,” he said. “You just want to move something, and it’s good and it’s bad. If one of these [sacks] found itself in the other direction and we are scoring, no one looks like anything negative on this subject. “”
While Stefanski was not satisfied with the Sanders game – in particular by taking a bag of 24 yards at the beginning of the fourth quarter when he continued to rush back instead of throwing the ball – he was not ready to blame the recruit.
“We have not played very much as an offense in the second half. It is never on one person,” said Stefanski. “We can be better in a bunch of areas and we just felt like we wanted to give storm [Huntley] A last training. “”
The Browns named Flacco on Monday, their quarter-back leaving for week 1, and Stefanski refused to appoint a backup at the time. Cleveland’s last unofficial depth painting listed Pickett as backup and Gabriel and Sanders as a third and fourth, respectively.
