Floyd Womack Reveals His Thoughts On If Browns Can Beat Jaguars with the current situation surrounding the both team
The Cleveland Browns have a tough matchup on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars as both teams are looking to avoid falling to 0-2 and falling behind in the loaded AFC.
In his first four years, head coach Kevin Stefanski has never started a season without winning one of the first two games.
Former Browns offensive lineman Floyd Womack recently shared his opinion about the Week 2 matchup and whether or not the Browns are capable of beating Jacksonville to keep that streak alive.
Womack appeared on “The Return With Josh and Maria Cribbs” and said he thinks the Browns can bounce back, telling the hosts, “I just think they have to go back to the drawing board and just go back to the smaller things of not just jumping offsides, lining up right…if you want to keep a good drive going, we can’t hurt ourselves during a drive.”
“If they can clean up the self-inflicted wounds, they’ll be fine,” Womack added.
The Browns committed 11 penalties in the 33-17 blowout at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1 while Deshaun Watson also threw two picks and got sacked six times, many of which were Watson’s fault for either holding the ball too long or sliding right in to pressure.
Cleveland went just 2-for-15 on third downs, so Womack is correct in stating there is plenty of room for improvement when considering all the mistakes they made against Dallas.
The Browns’ schedule eases up after the Jags game as they have battles with the New York Giants, Las Vegas Raiders, and Washington Commanders.
Womack hit the nail on the head in pointing out how the Browns shot themselves in the foot last week, and if they can clean a few things up, they could find their way back to .500.
The Cleveland Browns head South to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars today, giving the Browns the first opportunity to wear their road uniforms this season.
On X, the Browns shared images of three players’ game-day apparel, showcasing uniforms for offensive guard Joel Bitonio, cornerback Greg Newsome II, and linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah in the post.
What’s notable in the post is Owusu-Koramoah’s helmet as it features the Guardian cap, suggesting the Browns are hinting at a change for the linebacker in today’s contest.
The Guardian cap is an innovation that the NFL has implemented over the last two years to help players reduce head injuries.
Multiple players for the Browns donned these during training camp, and a few players wore these in preseason games.
If Owusu-Koramoah wears the cap today, he will become the first Browns player to do so in an NFL regular season contest according to analyst Daniel Oyefusi’s re-post on X.
“Don’t believe I’ve seen a Browns player wear one in a game yet,” Oyefusi said in a social media post.
