Select Browns Players (12.21.25)
G Joel Bitonio
What was the difference today from the offense, just being able to run the ball, throw the ball when you needed too?
“I think we executed our blocks better. We talked about our one eleventh and executing the run. (C Luke) Wypler did a good job getting us on the same page at a time, and guys were executing their one-on-ones. I think (QB) Sheduer (Sanders) did a good job scrambling in the first half, he picked up 10 yards a few times doing that, things are going to open up when you are doing that. That keeps you on track and gives you a new set of downs, so then you can run the ball again.”
What are your thoughts on Quinshon Judkins going down?
“He’s my guy man, he’s my locker guy back in Berea. He works hard and he just loves ball. To see a guy go and get hurt at that point is just unfortunate. Hopefully whatever it is he recovers quickly and he can get back. He’s young and hopefully everything heals quickly. When you see a guy go down like that it sucks, it’s the worst part of the game.”
WR Jerry Jeudy
The offense came out firing in this game scoring a touchdown. What do you think made the difference this week opening the game with a strong defensive drive?
“At the end of the first drive everyone was on the same page. Everyone was doing their job at a high level, so I think that is what got us the opportunity to score on the first drive.”
Talk about that tripping penalty you drew in the game today, especially the situation it was in.
“It was big on a 3rd and 15. I was trying to make [LB Matt Milano] miss, and he tripped me. It was a big play and it helped move the drive down the field.”
The run game was strong before Judkins went down. I know you all have a hand with blocking, but what did you feel was going right for you guys?
“I think everyone did a good job at staying on their man. When the running back crossed the line of scrimmage, we know to stand on their man and the running backs were able to find the holes in the defense.”
RB Raheim Sanders
What was your reaction when Quinshon Judkins went down with an injury?
“I’m really sad for him. With all the work he puts in, it is someone I really look up to. It was about him and I am going to hit him up when I get back home. I do not want that to happen to anybody, so prayers up to him.”
How quickly do you have to put that injury out of your mind because when he goes down, you are the next man up?
“In the moment, it was his moment. All week, Coach was having all the running backs prepare because you never know what will happen on the field. I feel like I was prepared, but we lost, so I will not say much about what I did because we lost.”
It was obviously not the way you wanted this moment to happen, but you got the moment. Was it meaningful to be getting those carries?
“Yeah for sure. For the point of getting reps and helping my team win, that is what everyone tries to do. I got my moment and took advantage of it, but it is on to the next one from here.”
RB Trayveon Williams
What was your reaction when Quinshon Judkins went down with an injury?
“It was pretty devastating. Seeing him early in the year and now, he is a guy that wants it. He comes to work everyday and he wants it. He is young and hungry, and I hate it for him, but he works his butt off every single day. It is devastating and I am praying for him.”
What do you see in [Judkins] that makes you think that he will attack his rehab and get back to the player he has been this year?
“I see it in the way he comes into work every day. He’s a young guy but he approaches it like a veteran and I am so proud of him. We all tell him different things, but he’s a guy that you do not have to tell him much. He comes to work every day and knows what he wants. He is diligent with the way he comes into work and the way he comes to practice. He pays attention in meetings and prepares his butt off. I am excited for his future and everything he can contribute for this organization.”
