Newcomer Dillon Gabriel will receive his first start to NFL on Sunday when Cleveland Brown Collide on the Minnesotsky Vikings in London. Browns announced on Wednesday that they were faced with Joe Flakko after he tried his best to lead the crime in the first four games.
“From the second [Gabriel] He was here, he worked very hard, ”said Brauns head coach Kevin Stefansky:“ He is a very smart young man. He did a good job throughout the practice, and all this season he learned to cook himself and understand the rhythm NFL A week and the fact that it looks like a backup. Obviously, now feel that he is ready to go as a starter. ”
The transition to Gabriel will surely revive questions about whether Sideur Sanders can ultimately take into account as a clayland starter. He was the third defender in the first four weeks, and on Wednesday, Brows said that he would remain in this position. Flakko will be a backup of Gabriel. Sanders, the son of the Hall of Glory Deyon Sanders, paid a huge amount of attention when he fell to the fifth round of the draft of this year After many thought that he would go in the first two. He completed 17 out of 29 passes for 152 yards and two landings in two pre -season games.
Sanders was criticized for talking about his role with brows in recent weeks. “If you see [quality of] Last week, I play defending the defender in the League, I know that I can achieve more success, ”said Sanders ESPN Cleveland last week.
When he was asked about the situation of Brows defender on Wednesday, after the news about Flakco’s bench, Sanders repeatedly answered grinning, then silently moving the mouth In response. Brows personnel member then reduced the interview.
When he was asked if he considered Sanders in a backup of Gabriel, Stefansky said that he was “focusing on this game.”
Cleveland is 1-3 and takes the first place in this season, gaining an average of 14 points per game. The team scored 17 points or less in nine games in a row, starting from last season. Gabriel will be the fifth of various QB starting in the last 10 Games of Brows, joining Jamis Winston, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Bailey Pope and Flacco.
Gabriel was chosen in the third round of the April draft. He saw the action in two games – the 2nd week in Baltimore and the 4th week in Detroit – and completed all three of his passages for 19 yards and landing. He was called a reserve quota at the end of the training camp after Brows exchanged Kenny Pickett for Las -Vegas raiders.
In the pre -season season, Gabriel led Browns to landing or field goals for five of his seven discs. He also directed a couple of two-minute, the first half against Philadelphia Igles and Los Angeles Rams. In his two pre -season walks, Gabriel completed 25 out of 37 passes for 272 yards with one landing and one interception.
It is easy to understand why brown Flacco. Among the 33 quotes, who made at least 56 attempts at the passage, the 40-year-old football player for the last time in the league with a rating of 60.3 passers-by, has the second place as a result of the completion (58.1%), and his six interceptions are the second.
The 18-year-old veteran completed only 16 out of 34 passes for 184 yards, two interceptions and falling for 34-10 last Sunday in Detroit. The crime of brows takes 27th place in the total number of yards (279.8 yards per game), 20th place in a fleeting (195 yards for the game) and 30th place in a hurry (84.8 yards per game).
