With Deshaun Watson getting suspended for eleven games, all eyes are on Browns’ quarterback Jacoby Brissett to step up. Although the possibility of Jimmy Garoppolo being traded to the Browns is real, it’s probably unlikely.

Browns fans are ready for a good season. With Watson out, that just puts a lot of pressure on Brissett to perform well so the Browns can have a good season.
But, Brissett seems confident in himself. He has also said that he is continuing to become more comfortable with the Browns’ offense.
“I think we have a plan and we’re going along with the plan, and I’m continuing to get more and more comfortable with the offense. I haven’t played in a game yet, so I think when that time comes it will come and I’ve got to use, which I do, I use these practices, these days as my game. I go out there with the mindset that it is a game I think I’m playing every day.”
As he said, Brissett hasn’t even played in a game yet. But per the Beacon Journal, the plan is for him to play in the Browns’ preseason finale against the Chicago Bears.
Seeing How Jacoby Brissett Performs During Preseason Will Tell Us a Lot
If there’s one thing that we can hope for is that Brissett is confident. But, he doesn’t seem too worried about it because he’s been talking to teammates on the sideline.
“I think every day we go out there I’ve grown more and more comfortable. Obviously, I didn’t play in the game but just seeing how the game was called, and just talking to the guys on the sideline and stuff like you kind of grow more in confidence in what we’re doing. So I’m just looking for that to continue to build.”
But, Brissett kind of made a condensed version of what he has to do to be successful for the Browns.
“I just have to be myself. I don’t really kinda try and do anything more or less. More so, I just try and be myself.”
This will definitely be an interesting season for Browns fans, and they’re going to be putting a lot of pressure on Brissett to perform well.
