Disappointing News: He’s Not Joining the Steelers

After some initial adjustment, Flacco expressed his relief at being back in the rhythm of calling plays in the huddle. He mentioned the importance of getting comfortable and emphasized the value of practice reps to prepare for potential game time.

“You got to get used to hearing them and then actually saying them, not just picturing them on a screen,” Flacco said. “It’s so valuable to be able to get some reps like that in the case that you do play because, that’s easy stuff, but you do take it for granted. I definitely have the years of experience that help me out a little bit.”

According to sources, Flacco’s practice performance was described as “seamless,” indicating a positive step in his preparation. His experience under various coaches, including Gary Kubiak and Mike LaFleur, is expected to aid in his acclimation to the Browns offense.

Cleveland’s strong defense and rushing attack echo the winning formula of the Ravens’ playoff runs and Super Bowl victories. This observation was shared by Reed, who saw similarities between the two teams and expressed optimism for Cleveland’s potential success.

“If they can get on a run and Joe protects the ball the way Joe knows how, the coach is going to put Joe in position to be successful,” Reed said. “We’re going to see how far they can go.”
