Quarter-back competition
With the first day of the Minicamp recruit, it was also the start of the competition in the quarter. Gabriel and Sanders took representatives during all periods, alternating throws in individual exercises and with different groups during periods of 11 against 11 and 7 against 7.
Stefanski said they included a long period of 7 against 7 in the mixture of team exercises to maximize two -quarter representatives. The idea through the Recruit Minicamp is to divide the representatives between Gabriel and Sanders.
“You can get the first representative of training with those, but the following period you may get the second group. So we are varied throughout. We focus more on this competition,” said Stefanski. “I said to the players last night, we tell them that – we assess everything they do on the field, in the meeting room, in the bodybuilding room. We want to see how they work. So it is a total evaluation. It is not only a representative of Rookie Minicamp or a representative in an OTA. Everything is really about the body of work.”
Although this is the first time that the two have been on the ground together in Browns jerseys, Stefanski has reiterated that they saw Gabriel and Sanders launch live during the pre-trafic process. They spent time with the two players in environments outside the CrossCountry mortgage campus and crossed scenarios. They know their individual forces and what everyone brings to the quarter post. Now they see what they take from meeting rooms to the field of practice.
However, seeing the two cross representatives and exercises on the first day of the Minicamp recruit, Stefanski said they were “as announced”.
“I thought the two guys had done a very good job and there is so much to work,” said Stefanski. “And this is the thoroughness of the position. These are technical things. It is the operation must improve, all these things. This is why we are here. This is why we are going to work very hard in the coming days to prepare these guys when they join the veterans on Monday.”
