Sheder Sanders was visibly frustrated on the key line of Cleveland Browns on Saturday evening, and he confirmed why it was.
The Browns won the match, 19-17, but it was Tyler Huntley who led a game winner of game to resume the pre-season victory. Huntley has been cut off from the alignment of the browns since then, despite his efforts.
Meanwhile, Sanders did not have the greatest performance of his first match in front of the Browns Faithful. He was dismissed five times and had trouble entering a pace with the attack of Cleveland.

But Sanders confirmed that he had told the head coach Kevin Stefanski that he wanted to be the only one to go there and lead the Browns to the basket. Stefanski said no, going with Huntley instead and the veteran quarterrier did the job.
“In the battle of the moment, in the fire of the battle, you want to be this alpha,” said Sanders, via Cleveland.com. “You want to be this dog. You want to be there in this last two-minute trip. So, of course, little things, of course frustrated, but that’s what’s going on when you want to be a player to change a franchise.”

Sanders resumed the game in the second half, and he was on the warm exercise bike when he realized that he did not return to the game.
“I did not know that I was absent,” said Sanders before this Huntley conduct. “I was getting started for this two -minute road because it’s just a situation for quarter dreams. It is many situations in which I have already been and I thought I was, so he told me that I was not and I said to myself:” OK. “”
Stefanski defended his decision to go with Huntley, who was the only quarter to play in the three pre-season games with the Browns. He was brought after Kenny Pickett and the choice of third round Dillon Gabriel – Sanders made two balls after him in April – the two suffered injuries to the hamstrings earlier in the camp.

“Obviously, we have not played very much as an offense in the second half,” said Stefanski in Cleveland.com. “It’s never on one person. So we can be better in a bunch of areas and we just felt like we wanted to give Snoop a last training.
“”[Sanders] is a competitive child. The plan was to go with Snoop there. But, I wouldn’t do any more than that. “”
There are football fans who believe that Sanders is sabotaged by the Browns, but Stefanski smothered this bud.
“I do not care about external things, but I am engaged in its development like all our recruits,” he said.
The Browns have already appointed the 41-year-old veteran, Joe Flacco, their quarter-tree for week 1 against the Bengals of Cincinnati, a crucial confrontation of North Division of the AFC to launch the season. Who will be exactly his backup remains to be seen, but Pickett should be back for the Browns earlier than expected. Stefanski said he was expecting him at week 1.

Stefanski did not name a backup of Flacco, but ESPN reported that the Browns had “planned to keep his four other QBs … on his list of 53 men”. The fourth is Deshaun Watson, who is on a reserve injured due to a torn Achilles.
Each NFL team will have to submit their lists of 53 men before Tuesday 4 p.m. HE, so Browns fans and the rest of the world of football will know what Cleveland intends to do with Sanders and their backgrounds by then.
