The Browns have an early bye week, only having played four games before getting their week off to reset, rest, heal, and most importantly, evaluate themselves heading into the rest of their season.
BEREA, Ohio — General Manager Andrew Berry held his Bye Week press conference on Wednesday, and the session that ran close to an hour was full of information about the state of the team.Deshaun Watson's shoulder
On Wednesday, Berry also said the team doesn't view Watson's shoulder as a long-term issue and that it will"heal in the short term and he'll be ready to go." With Watson back in Houston for the bye week, Berry said the quarterback is rehabbing and resting as he works to be ready to take on the San Francisco 49ers in Week 6.Berry isn't one to talk details about roster moves or contract negotiations.
The Browns front office is very adamant about being aggressive at the trade deadline, which comes at the end of the month, but also exploring every avenue and window to make the team better—through trades and free agent signings."We have a weekly trade meeting within our front office group. We go through different ideas, go through different situations for opportunities that may or may not present itself.
The guys celebrating certainly have a hand in the success of the defense, and while Garrett has always made an impact for the Browns, having some new faces along the line and in the secondary has made it that much more explosive this year. "I think that just overall the offense has been a bit up and down. I think when you think about protection, it's not just the offensive line, it's really everybody. It's the quarterbacks depth, it's the route combination, it's the backs, it's the tight ends. And that's something that among several other things that we haven't been as consistent with," Berry said.
Berry addressed Wills' struggles, confident that as the season goes on, the left tackle will improve. "There is a saying that I love: 'Experience is a hard teacher because it gives the test first and the lesson afterward,' and I felt like certainly, any rookie quarterback could probably attest during their first start that that is the case. Certainly challenging circumstances, but I know Dorian's not making any excuses for it," Berry said.
"Offensively, we're really looking forward to using this bye week to really return to the level of consistency and the standard that Kevin has really set there on that side of the ball since he's been here in 2020. And no doubt with having Deshaun for a full season, losing Nick, losing Jack Conklin, that it'll look different than we've been accustomed to seeing over the first three years.
