NFL Trade Rumors
Browns DE Myles Garrett is hoping that he can break the single-season sack record in front of his home fans against the Bills on Sunday, needing just one and a half on QB Josh Allen to do so.
“I want it here in front of my home fans,” Garrett said, via Scott Petrak of BrownsZone.com. “Most of all, I want to get the win. I don’t want it to be some emotional conflict between me getting it and we’re getting our tails whooped or we’re down at the end of the game. So I want to be able to share in a joyous moment for everybody.”
Garrett commented on Allen, whom he has only sacked once in his career. So far.
“The guy’s unbelievable,” said Garrett when asked about Allen. “What he can do at the quarterback position, with the ball in general, there’s no one like him. He’s winning MVPs for a reason. So we’ll have to stop him. We’ll have to stop that running game. We’ll have to try and make him one-dimensional, but that’s a hell of a dimension to have.”
Despite the team’s struggles, Garrett is still hoping to turn things around after he agreed to a four-year, $160 million extension ahead of his historic season.
“I’m happy to be here,” Garrett commented. “I’m happy to play in front of these fans who supported me through everything and the seasons, up and down. And just all the things that have gone on with my career and the Browns team in general for my last nine years, for them to still turn out and still support me and still want to be a part of this ride in general is special to me. I’m hoping they’ll still turn out and have energy and love for us as they always do.”
Recently, he had also revealed that he underwent foot surgery to deal with pain that had bothered him since childhood and severely limited him during previous years.
“Being able to stand, to walk around, to do anything without pain, I’ll take that any day. So it’s a blessing to be where I am now, feeling as good as I am at this point of the season.”
The Browns are coming off a one-sided 31-3 loss to the Bears in Week 15, where rookie QB Shedeur Sanders tossed three interceptions. Sanders admitted that he needs to play better and must protect the football.
“I just got to play better,” Sanders said, via Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal. “Yeah. I just cannot make those costly turnovers and have the expectation to win.”
As for where he can improve, Sanders said he must make more completions and avoid pressing when they need to make a play.
“I just got to get more completions,” Sanders said. *“I got to get more completions and even whenever we’re down or anything I can’t press. I just got to remain having those mental notes to myself. Just work...
