PITTSBURGH – Baker Mayfield sent a small pre-match message to JuJu Smith-Schuster about 4 1/2 hours before kick-off Sunday night.
He posted a montage of Browns’ big plays and touchdowns, including some against the Steelers, with the caption “Browns is the Browns.”
The message was a nod to Smith-Schuster, saying he said during the Zoom conference this week that the Browns are the same old Browns he’s always played.
Asked if there’s a new atmosphere coming over the Browns because of the success they’ve had lately, Smith-Schuster said: “Well, I think they’re still the same Browns I played every year. I think they are nameless gray faces.They have some good players in their team.But at the end of the day … the browns are the browns.It’s AFC North football.They are a good team.I’m just glad we played them again. ”
Garrett says the Browns will try to prove Smith-Schuster wrong
Browns’ defensive side Myles Garrett said on Friday “first asked a question about Smith-Schuster’s remarks.”
But he asked if the browns had proved that they were not the same old browns, and he said, “We will have to prove it when we see them on Sunday.”
Garrett also said the Browns concede nothing, despite not having their head coach Kevin Stefanski and a number of key players due to COVID-19, including left-back Joel Bitonio, their tallest player and cornerback Denzel Ward. .
‘As Stefanski has always told us, you are not doing the opportunity; you fall at the level of your preparation, ” he said. ‘The way we have prepared and prepared ourselves spiritually, whether through Zoom or simply preparing for it ourselves at home, is just how you treat yourself and prepare yourself as a pro.
‘Nobody’s going to sit here and tell you we’re calculating. These guys are hungry, and we’ll take it to them. ‘
