The Browns took practice to the next level on Monday, putting on pads for the first time in training camp.
“You still need to practice safely,” head coach Kevin Stefanski said. “So, we’ll thud the runners, meaning we’ll fit up the runners. We won’t tackle to the ground in this practice. But it is important that when you get the pads on – offense, defense, special teams – you have to get acclimated to your pads. Quarterbacks throwing in shoulder pads, people catching in shoulder pads, etc. But by the same token, while, yes, it’s physical, we don’t want a bunch of guys on the ground. That’s not the intention of putting the pads on. It is still to use our technique and still to be smart when it’s Browns versus Browns.”
Here are the main observations from Day 5 of training camp.
