RB Demetric Felton Cleveland Browns vs. New York Giants Preseason Game 2 8-22-21 RB Demetric Felton: On if he prefers playing RB or WR: “I really have no preference.” On his performance today: “I think I had an OK day. Just looking forward to getting back at practice and working hard.” On having a LB line up across to cover him: “Linebacker or DB, I can get open. It is really no surprise for me.” On his performance in the run game today: “I felt like I did OK. I feel like there is definitely room for improvement. Like, I said before, I am just looking forward to getting back to practice and getting better.” On if he has been able to learn anything from RB Kareem Hunt as their playing styles are similar: “Definitely. Whenever I get back home or even when I am out there on the field, I study those guys a lot. I am just looking for anything that I can add to my game and just improve.” On how it was practice with the New York Giants this week: “I think it is good to have some guys other than your teammates that you are going against to get a different feel. I definitely think it was beneficial for me and the team.” # # # ***Visit the Browns Media Center for materials provided by the Browns communications department, including media schedules, press releases, quotes, photos, media guides, rosters, depth charts and more.*** Johnny Stanton IV Cleveland Browns vs. New York Giants 8-22-21 FB Johnny Stanton IV: On getting reps on offense today: “It is always fun to have your number called. They told me this week that I was going to be at tight end and I said, ‘Alright, let’s do it.’ I am willing to do whatever it takes to make this team. For them to be able to get me the ball on a couple of plays I have at tight end gets me excited.” On the difficulty of transitioning to TE: “They prepared me well this week. I knew it was coming. They do a good job of prepping the guys who are getting the most reps. (TE) Jordan Franks and (TE) Connor Davis who got twice as many reps as I did, those guys were battling through it and they did a great job today. I did not get as many reps as them, but I try to make it count when I get those plays in practice and it transferred out there.” On the type of QB he was at UNLV: “I was a dual-threat guy, but I was not running around anybody at 250 lbs. When I had the ball in my hands, I would be trying to run through you and try to make some plays in the backfield, as well.” On his experience learning to be a blocker: “It took a big transition. You are transferring from wanting to stay away from the tacklers to heading straight towards them and being able to influence them to come to you. It was a big transition. I am in my fourth year of doing it, and I am still learning every day. I feel like I am at a point right now where I am proud to have gotten to this point, but I know I have a long way to go.” On if his experience as a QB helps him find gaps in the defense: “Being in that position and having to know the whole offense gives me a better chance to learn the whole offense now. This offense is a lot more complex than anything else I have ever been in before, but being in my second year, I am able to master it better and get the chance to show my knowledge of it more. Even last year, the coaches would ask me to make sure I knew the second tight end spot, but it was not until this year that they said ‘OK, now you have to know it.’ I did not get many reps last year so I am making my way through it and am still learning every day.” # # # ***Visit the Browns Media Center for materials provided by the Browns communications department, including media schedules, press releases, quotes, photos, media guides, rosters, depth charts and more.*** S Julian Love Cleveland Browns vs New York Giants Preseason Game 2 8-22-21 NY Giants S Julian Love: On the starting units on defense: “We feel like this week was a huge step for us, getting out there to compete against a quality team. A little more on our plates in terms of calls and what they expect from us. I know that the starters are guys up front who are especially ready to get after it. The closer we get to Week 1, everyone is fired up. We are going to attack and get better to where we want to be. We really have to take advantage of next week.” On looking at the starting lineup with Week 1 three weeks away: “Training camp from the outside mind might look tough, but it has been a fun camp because you can see the improvement in a lot of people – players, coaches and all of us together building a camaraderie that we talk about so much that we want to build. As camp went on, we are still growing and getting to that point, and it is crazy we are on to our last preseason game and then we get to go at it for real.” On any recent expressions from Head Coach Joe Judge: “Well, you just heard him call me duct tape. That was a funny story. In a meeting in the defensive room, he said, ‘Well, we can put you in any situation, wherever we need you, you are like duct tape for us.’ That is a true story. Now everyone is calling me duct tape now because he made that comment. It is a short-term solution – duct tape. We will move on to something more permanent.” On how duct tape means versatile: “Listen, it might be a Philly thing where his from and how he grew up. Something is broken, and you put duct tape on it. I don’t know how his household was taken care of, but that is kind of his expression. Just do it all. I take pride in that. Obviously over the years to get better, try to establish how I want to be as a player and that involves doing a lot. I like it. I like doing a lot.” On what WR Matt Cole is if he specifically is duct tape: “Have you ever seen Big Fat Greek Wedding – the dad always used to put Windex on everything? We will say Matt Cole is Windex (laughter).” # # # ***Visit the Browns Media Center for materials provided by the Browns communications department, including media schedules, press releases, quotes, photos, media guides, rosters, depth charts and more.*** Head Coach Kevin Stefanski Cleveland Browns vs. New York Giants Preseason 2 8-22-21 Head Coach Kevin Stefanski: Opening statement: “(CB) Greedy Williams has a groin injury, (K) Cody Parkey had a quad injury and (LB) Montrel Meander had an Achilles injury. I thought it was some good work for the guys out there. It was hot. They were battling. It took 60 minutes. Got some good situational football work – a two-minute at the end of the first half, a two- minute drive there on defense at the end of the second half and a two-point play – so I think there are a lot of things going on that the guys did a nice job communicating and ultimately battling throughout. Good win.” On the competition between FBs Andy Janovich and Johnny Stanton IV: “I think those guys are competing hard every single day on the practice field, in the meeting room and in these games. They are both doing a nice job.” On Stanton playing some TE today: “What happens is you have two tight ends so you are trying to find ways to spell those guys. That was some of the thought there, but certainly, the more you can do, it helps your value.” On QB Case Keenum’s performance: “He did a nice job operating. Did not like that interception down there in the red zone – we can’t do that, and he should not do that. He knows that. We have to take better care of the ball, but he had obviously some nice plays. That throw to Hodgey (WR KhaDarel Hodge) was outstanding – a great catch, great throw.” On if the Browns tried to set up a long FG opportunity on K Chase McLaughlin’s 49-yard conversion or if it ‘just happened’: “Just happened. Obviously, want to get some evaluation from these guys. We were going to kick a field goal there [earlier in the game] and then we had a sack that was called and took us out of field goal range. Was pleased that we were able to get to field goal range that last one.” On RB Demetric Felton: “I thought he did a nice job. I would say my vantage point was not great, but he had some good dirty runs. He bounced a few and made some plays in the passing game so he did a nice job.” On Keenum’s missed connection with Felton in the end zone: “He just overthrew him.” On DT Malik McDowell’s performance: “Malik did a nice job.
