Episode notes
Browns Will Keep Multiple QBs
- The Browns are likely to carry multiple quarterbacks because they aren't a good team and will take many shots on goal.
- Mina says carrying four QBs is defensible given Cleveland's instability at the position.
Shorten Release To Reduce Sacks
- Improve quick decision-making and release time to avoid sacks and replicated college mistakes.
- Mina implies Shadyr Sanders must shorten his time to throw to earn playing time.
Gabriel Showing Faster, Safer Play
- Dylan Gabriel outperformed Shadyr Sanders with a much faster 2.72s time-to-throw versus 4.48s for Sanders.
- Mina expects Gabriel to receive more snaps and thinks Cleveland's long-term QB may not be on their roster yet.
