Former Texas A&M star Myles Garrett to make National Football League debut vs Jets

October 08 23:00 2017

If Jackson keeps his rookie on the bench, he won’t go head-to-head next week in Houston with one of the quarterbacks the Browns passed on in this draft in Deshaun Watson – but that’s as it should be.

Rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer has completed a league-low 52.4 percent of his passes and has the worst rating at 36.3.

But before leaving the field, Jackson was chased down.

Today’s opponent is a familiar one in the New York Jets, a team the Browns will face for the fourth time in the past five seasons. “So, I’m not sure that the appropriate strategy is just to tank for a quarterback”.

But for the Jets, Sunday’s game at the Browns’ FirstEnergy Stadium gives them the opportunity for their first-three game winning streak since they won five in a row from Weeks 12-16 of the 2015 season.

Cleveland was down 10-7 and facing a fourth-and-2 at New York’s four with 13:03 left. “Myles is going out there with an attitude that he wants to play and he wants to play really, really well”. The victory improved the Jets to 3-2, and in a three-way tie for first place in the AFC East.

The Browns offense moved the ball pretty well in the first half, especially on the ground with the offense gaining 90 total yards on the ground.

Jackson and the team have put owner Jimmy Haslam in a hard spot. Thomas said that is never a good idea in football. He’s shown flashes here and there, but they need more data to determine if they should tab a Sam Darnold from USC, a Josh Rosen from UCLA, a Josh Allen from Wyoming or someone else. I’ll take the Jets for the cover and win.

So instead of leading by double digits, the Browns went to the locker room at halftime trailing 3-0 after Catanzaro’s long boot.

“There is no wavering support”, he said. “The other, I felt like I hit it better”. They are no different than anybody else. It would be different if this team just beat us 30-whatever. “I always want to make more plays and have more effect on the outcome of the game. That is something to build on”.

Here’s how Jets special teams coordinator Brant Boyer described Peppers, the MI product: “He’s a game breaker”. Welcome to the NFL, Myles Garrett.

Garrett has been out since September 6 when he suffered a high-ankle sprain after a teammate fell on his leg. He has 13,946 scrimmage yards, third most among active players.

“It was just a great call by (Browns defensive coordinator) Gregg (Williams)”, Garrett said after the Browns were beaten by the Jets, 17-14.

The QB switch was startling since Jackson had given his unconditional support to Kizer, promising to stick with him no matter what happened this season.

The highlights: A third-and-2 pass to tight end Eric Tomlinson – who had two catches all season prior to Sunday and was playing with an injured elbow – that gained 34 yards.

Hogan relieved Kizer in Baltimore after Kizer suffered a migraine.

After his team fell to 0-5, Jackson said he’s “got to see the tape and look at everything” before making any such change, but you know it’s coming.

“Right now, I am just doing what I can to get better and help this team get a win”.

Myles Garrett brings down Jets quarterback Josh McCown during the Browns’ loss to the Jets on October 8 at FirstEnergy Stadium. They host the New England Patriots next week. “It’s the old saying: ‘Be at your best when your best is needed.’ We played well when we needed to”.

Meanwhile, the heat on Jets (2-2) coach Todd Bowles has cooled off after two straight wins. This is what it’s about.
