During the Browns’ final preseason games against the Chicago Bears, they finally got to see Jacoby Brissett play in a game. But, it didn’t go very well. And the main reason for that is because of Anthony Schwartz. He even had this play where there was an interception on a target towards him.

Even though he’s playing pretty badly, Kevin Stefanski still believes that he can get better.

“We’ve talked about Anthony and Anthony has spoken to you guys. He’s very accountable. I know he wants to be better. I know he’ll work very hard. All of our guys are going to continue to try to get better, and I know Anthony will, as well.”

Then Browns’ quarterback Jacoby Brissett said that Schwartz will get out of the slump that he’s in.

“I told (Schwartz) on the sideline, ‘Look, you wouldn’t be in this position if they didn’t think you could do it. At least cherish the part that they’re putting you back out there no matter what. It’s only because they want to see you succeed, and they want you to see yourself succeed.’ I think he’s going to do that. It’s unfortunate that those things happen, but it is part of the game. I’m sure it’s like plays that I would like back and throws that I would like back. It’s a learning process. This game is hard if we make it hard. I’m sure he is going to get over it.”

Coach Kevin Stefanski also said that dropping the ball is a part of the game, so he’ll just have to work through it.

“Any and all receivers, they work very hard at this game. You understand that there are going to be drops. That’s how it works. It’s something that comes with being a receiver so you just have to work through it.

Stefanski is right about this, though. But, the only problem with it is that Schwartz dropping the ball has happened so often. So, he may not even see the field very often in the regular season.
