Cedric Tillman & Quinton Jefferson Press Conferences

we asked for for a d tackle super knowledgeable you know like a sponge try to soak everything up man I'm just the sky is limit for him you know it's just about just getting his opportunity which we'll have this weekend and onward know I'm super excited for him and yeah he's going to be a special player are those young guys coming to you first or are you kind of reaching out to them inviting them to to practice with you it's kind of a mutual thing like I was going to do stuff regardless and then they're just interested like oh what are you doing and I'm like hey come come see and it's kind of thing yeah like they already know after practice even me Chris we get our hands in we ground we do a little extra conditioning it's like I said it's just you got to just do a little something cuz everybody's coming out here doing the just a practice so it's like all right what else you know you got to put a little extra in and like said they're actually taking an initiative you know they're seeing what I'm doing and inquisitive and I just like hey just come on follow me what are some of the big questions these young guys have for you um probably the biggest thing is just how do you sustain playing like N9 years at like a high level and it just I'll was just like I said explain just you have routine cuz that creates consistency cuz you see a lot of guys like a flash in the pan might have one good year and then kind of fizzle out so it's like how do you create that it's like just doing the same things every single day and it's almost like second nature like a lot of stuff I do even rushing the P it's like I could do in my sleeve like second nature but you got to just keep on keep on doing it doing it doing it like you might see me doing the bags here like I'm not running full speed after practice but just I'm walking getting my steps right getting my hand mov right cuz again like when it's fast bullets that's when you're just literally just reacting your everybody just doing what it's trained to do so just creating those good habits what do it mean to you that the Browns reached out wanted you to be part of this um it means a lot you know cuz it's already without me there that they thought I can come in and add anything it's just mean I mean I appreciate that and with that I know there there comes a high standard and I want to even raise my game to meet that standard and I know ultimately want to be the best defense and deep at the line in the NFL so that's the goal you you've been some a part of some pretty good defense one stack up right it's hard I mean there's so much talent there's Talent everywhere you know and I mean I don't want to speak too soon because again we still have to put the work in we still have to go out there and play those games still we still got a long Camp to go and I mean I'll say this this definitely if not the most talented roster I've been a part of but we still got to go take it day by day and do the work to become that Jim Schwarz has a reputation for elevating defensive tackles even greater things so what what is the next greater thing for you coming out a pretty good year um I mean do better cuz my year got cut short last year um tore my groin so I only played what 13 games um so they to do better than that you know I want to get 10 sacks I want to be I know I had the 10 sack abilities I want to be a 10- sack guy and so I want to go do that you know and this is the defensive scheme to do it you know Schwarz I mean he loves defensive linan always puts us in position to make plays you know we always have an aggressive mindset I mean use my skill set which is my athleticism so I mean I'm excited for the opportunity off that you talk about some of the great defenses you played for in the past You' also play with lot of defens rush it I know that was coming um he's a freak like I mean I've been around some special guys who even had like crazy work ethic and just were talent but like his talent is like I never anything like it a guy that big moving that fast can bend like he can and only not only is he a freak but he's intelligent super like super high football IQ like he was like made in the lab like he's L it's insane it's insane definitely insane this no isn't your father's training camp these days teams are trying to protect their players get the week one yeah a lot less live contact than used to be you were talking about how you like going through the bags after practi if you're not full speed how does not full speed make you though a a better player and prep you for when the light bullets start um I say ultimately say it keeps you it keeps you fresh but with that you have to take it upon yourself because when you do have those opportunity every opportunity counts and I know I really have to like focus in and make sure like I said I get an opportunity to go out there and put pads on I got to make those rep count because you might there's only few far far between you know so guys just have to saying just take it upon thems to do a little extra work a little extra cardio because we might not be running as much and just be smart said doing still do your part and with that you still got to do the the stuff to take care of your body you know um but yeah like I said just being really intentional and really detailed with your work as you've gotten to know Jim's defense kind of gone through these early days of training camp what has stood out about this defensive scheme and just how you learn um man they get after it you know I feel like we're always attacking you know um like I said and just the plays are the plays but really it's just like man there's some special guys on that defense who want to be great and I mean I just love that and it just say excites me gets me energized and like I said I just want to be a part of that you know and yeah say we had a special group definitely a special group how curious are you to see what that dline looks like when everybody's healthy right you get dvin back and Shelby all those guys together um definitely interesting cuz yeah I know like we all kind of played together I mean I play with Shelby in Seattle so I already know what type of player he is but no I say it's going to be great to get everybody say together out there working together you know cuz again you got to feel how guys rush you know that's a big aspect you know just playing with guys just seeing what they do because you kind of can play off of them even see how guys play the run because you got to be able to fit off guys play off guys so it's definitely going to be critical like I said when we get some days on the field all together that said just got to make them count you know before the live bullets as training camp has continued in the preseason game like right around the corner couple days away you felt a growing intensity out there on the field um definitely definitely it's been picking up more like I said especially the more padded days even today we have pads on I expect a high intensity day um but yeah I think starting to set in the guy like okay like literally this weekend we're going to be playing a real game you know and again you it takes a different type of mindset you know for those games you got to click in CU you know for a lot of guys it might be their last game so it's like you got to prepare accordingly you know you only get a few Ops so you gotta make them count good thanks guys thank you have a great one hey guys it's good Joe good good so how do you think Champs going for you so far I think it's been going good just uh focus on trying to get better each and every day uh paying attention to the details and uh glad to be out here with my guys CC when we talk to folks in the organization they seem to have really set the bar high for you they seem to you know expect a lot of you this year as far as growth goes have you felt that and just where do you think you've grown the most in your second train yeah uh you know just trying to take him one day at a time uh you know obviously year two more comfortable than year one so you know just learning on things from last year and just trying to be a better player for the organization what's some something that you've been able to do to kind of grow in that area learning The Playbook and feeling more comfortable with what you're doing out there are there steps that you've taken to try to get in a more comfortable place this year yeah I think just honestly just talking to the quarterbacks more uh talking to the older guys and you know just getting those reps uh obviously helped so uh you know just you know year or two just trying to you know do better when you look back at that rookie year what were you maybe most proud of and then said um I really need to work on this yeah uh for sure I think I had great effort out there you know I tried everything obviously I felt like I caught the ball well and know obviously you know things you can work on you know just makeing sure I know exactly what to do uh all the time and uh you know just uh making sure you know obviously everybody wants more separation you know but so we going to do that Amari Now Jerry Judy what's been like learning from those two guys uh it's been great uh you know those guys are Pros uh just try to pick their brains a little bit and then just try to you know watch how they practice how they go about their business so preparation wise what did you change this year that now with with that year of you know experience and going through you know your rookie season what did you Chang in terms of preparation this year um like I said just trying to be more of a a professional you know what I'm saying rookie year you know you're learning stuff and not that I didn't do stuff like that last year but you know you just learn you know what I'm saying so just learning actually being in there getting those game reps just feel like I'm more comfortable Ken dorsy has you know come in now this to be your second offense in his many years here just what major differences have you noticed with uh you know dorsy involved in maybe last year um you know coach has been good you know he's got a game plan set you know organization does and I feel like the offense has been clicking uh so we're just going to keep on trying to capitalize so there's there's reports that the Browns could be one of the teams and on a guy like Brandon IU if you were to add a guy like that to your room what do you think that would um um you know I'm focusing on the guys in the room now uh you know focus on myself and the team so uh you know I control what I can control and you know just to follow up on that Amari has sort of been involved in those rumors what has he meant to you as just kind of early in your career uh it's meant a lot like I said um you know people don't think Amari really talks a lot um you know he talks you know but uh just kind of seeing how he goes about his day uh being a pro and just biggest thing of how he's consistent this is expectation and hope that we get a full season of for the Browns this year right for you as a receiver in this offense what excites you the most about that and what can we expect if that should happen yeah you know I'm excited uh for Deshawn to be back out there you know obviously he got hurt unfortunately last year but uh you know he's looked good uh you know it feels like he's in a right mentality so I'm excited for him what what does jamus add to that quarterback room and just that offense just being around him yeah uh you know he brings that energy you know he's obviously a vet uh he knows the game really well so he doesn't mind talking to the guys uh helping us out so he brings a Lu you're going against a you know really good secondary every day in practice they say iron sharpens iron how much have those DBS made you a better player going through the drills on a daily basis against them uh a lot actually you know obviously I feel like we have you know some of the best DBS in the game so you know just talking to those guys uh getting tips uh you know obviously doing those real live reps with them uh definitely helps how much confidence if any do you get when you make a play like you did in get the Green Brier Des hit for that um go right down the sideline for the touchdown you know it's always good to score you know especially touchdowns uh you know I feel like my confidence is high but obviously you know being in that end zone is cool along the lines of there being sort of high expectations for you in year two just what are some of the things you're of setting for yourself gowise is there certain things you want to reach accompl your mind I'm just taking it day by day honestly uh kind of said earlier controlling what I control and like I said just trying to be the best player I can for this team it's intensify in Camp you guys get a little chippy you guys talk to each other kind of hype each other up on both sides of the ball how do you feel about that and and how's that looking as his Camp continues uh you know I'm more of a relaxed personality but you know I don't mind you know talking or anything like that uh so if it comes it comes what are you hoping to get out of the upcoming preseason games you get ready to get yourself kind of in shape and ready for yeah just uh looking forward to those reps uh like I said get more comfortable on the field and being on the field with my guys how hasad helped you grow over yeah I think just biggest thing like we talk about is consistency uh you know just being consistent as a receiver uh focusing on details and little things uh I feel like that important thank you think
