Browns WR Jerry Jeudy Makes His Feelings Clear on QB Shift to Dillon Gabriel

The Cleveland Browns are making a change at quarterback, hoping it can spark the offense and top wide receiver Jerry Jeudy.

The Browns announced the shift to Dillon Gabriel this week. He’ll replace 40-year-old Joe Flacco, who struggled during the team’s 1-3 start. Cleveland is averaging just 14 points per game and explosive plays have been hard to come by.

Jeudy has struggled, in particular. He has just 13 catches for 182 yards and has not found the end zone yet. Jeudy is confident in Gabriel as he enters as the Browns‘ new QB1.

“Dillon, he’s a smart dude,” Jeudy said. “He knows where to go with the ball. He knows what the coaching staff wants within the offense. He does a great job of that.

Browns QB Dillon Gabriel Big Fan of Jerry Jeudy

Gabriel has had limited time working with the first team offense. But he’s familiar with Jeudy’s game and praised his top target.

“I’m the biggest fan of Jerry. I would be surprised to find anyone that thinks more highly of him than me, just the way he works, the way he attacks his day to day, but how much he loves the game as well. He shows his passion, and he’s a guy that we’re going to rely on, I’ll continue to rely on and a guy we’ll feed because he’s a big part of what we do,” Gabriel said. “So I think as we continue to build it, it’ll be building reps together and continuity, but I think that that’ll grow as time progresses.”

The Browns are shorthanded at wide receiver. Cedric Tillman was placed on injured reserve this week. He recorded 11 receptions for 106 yards and two touchdowns over the first four games of the season. The Browns signed receivers Malachi Corley and Gage Larvadain to the active roster on Tuesday.

Browns WR Jerry Jeudy Putting Critical Drop Behind Him

Jeudy has had his share of drops this season, including during the Browns’ Week 4 loss to the Lions. It ignited a fiery rant from Jeudy in the locker room after the 34-10 loss.

“That (expletive) got me hot, bro,” Jeudy said after the game. “I make that damn play, bro. It was a big-time play. I got to catch them (expletive). I catch them (expletive) every day in practice. I make that play, bro. (Expletive) frustrating. … Man, as a receiver on this team, bro, as a wide receiver, I got to make those (expletive) plays, man.”

Jeudy says he’s put that play behind him and is eager to get back on track.

“No, I dwell on it on that day,” Jeudy said. “Other than that, I just move on, move forward. You know, this [is] football. It’s part of the game. That wasn’t my first drop, and that’s not going to be my last, you know, if you’re being honest. So, you know, I don’t really pay too much time on it. I do what I need to do to fix it and then move on from there.”

Jeudy and the Browns are a 3.5-point underdog this week as they take on the Minnesota Vikings in London.

Offcials for Lions vs Bengals

This one might scare you a little bit. Carl Cheffers and his crew are officiating this game. You might remember Cheffers as the guy who called the infamous phantom face mask on Devin Taylor at the end of the Lions vs Packers game. That set up the Rodgers Hail Mary touchdown that essentially booted the Lions out of playoff contention and killed thier season. They never recovered from that.

On top of that, Cheffers' crew is currently in the top three for most penalties called this season. So get ready to see a lot of laundry on the field for both teams.
