on Sunday Youth Larry Ogunjobi Jersey , seven weeks (and 70 minutes) after playing to a draw in Week One. A pair of defensive players who arrived in Cleveland via round one of the 2017 draft provided the same answer when asked on Friday whether the rematch entails a sense of unfinished business: “Absolutely.”That was the immediate response both from defensive end Myles Garrett and safety Jabrill Peppers.“You do not know who is the better out of the two yet,” Garrett said. “We have to finish it off and see who wins round two.”“I definitely feel like we let them sneak out of here,” Peppers added. “We fought all of the way back, but it should not have even been that if we did what we were supposed to do from the get go. We are just going to go over there focused, ready to go, hungry. They are coming off of a bye week so they will probably have a couple of wrinkles and things we probably have not seen on tape yet. For the most part, we know what we are going to get. We know what their guys are. We know what we have to do to win. It is just about going to battle.鈥滵uring the last battle, the Browns created six turnovers. Can they do it again?鈥淭hat is the goal,” Garrett said. “Six turnovers is a lot Youth Chris Hubbard Jersey , but I think that it is doable. Just have to keep on getting after [quarterback Ben Roethlisberger].”Both players also see the game as pivotal to the season of a 2-4-1 team that has been in position to win six of its seven games.鈥淔or our season and our momentum, we have to come back and punch them in the mouth,” Garrett said. “It is definitely a big game for us as it is for them — all division games are. We have to be on our p鈥檚 and q鈥檚.鈥漇aid Peppers: “You could not write this story any better. Coming off of a tough loss — three tough losses. Two of those, I think, we should have had, but that is the way the ball rolls some times. They are top of the division. We tied them at our place the first game of the season. Now, we get a chance to go up to their place. It is set up perfectly. Get this bad taste out of our mouths and start this run.鈥漈hey’re both right. There’s a huge difference between 3-4-1 and 2-5-1. And if the Browns are going to be true contenders in 2018, they need to find a way to come home from the confluence of three rivers with that third win.Cleveland Browns Training Camp 2018: Special Teams Preview (Kicking Game) We continue our training camp preview on the Cleveland Browns by looking at the special teams units. In Part 1, we’ll focus on the kicker Womens Kevin Zeitler Jersey , punter, and long snapper positions. In Part 2, we’ll look at return man candidates and special teams aces.KickerKen Blaze-USA TODAY Sports1. Zane Gonzalez - Returning KickerHeight: 6-0 | Weight: 202 lbs | Age: 23Experience: 2 years | College: Arizona StateZane Gonzalez did not have many field goal attempts as a rookie last year. He connected on 15-of-20 field goals and 25-of-26 extra points. Gonzalez’ rough patch of the season came in Weeks 4-5, when he went 0-for-3. The rest of the season, he was 13-of-15.Leg strength isn’t an issue for Gonzalez. His season long was 54 yards, and he never faced any issues on kickoffs. Gonzalez has the edge to begin this year’s kicking competition due to being the returning player, but it’s not very much of an edge. He will need to compete in this year’s training camp just as he did last year against Cody Parkey, knowing that nothing is set in stone. There is also a new special teams coach with the club, which cuts some ties of allegiance he may have had from Chris Tabor.Final Roster Odds: 70%William Hauser-USA TODAY Sports2. Ross Martin - Competing KickerHeight: 5-9 | Weight: 187 lbs | Age: 25Experience: Rookie | College: DukeRoss Martin was an undrafted free agent in 2016 who first signed with the New York Jets. He competed in training camp with the Jets in 2016 and 2017 Youth Baker Mayfield Jersey , but didn’t make the roster nor the practice squad either year. In 2016, Martin was 4-of-6 in the preseason on field goals and 1-of-2 on extra points, with a long of 55 yards. Last year, Martin was 4-of-5 on field goals in the preseason and 2-of-2 on extra points.The fun part of Martin’s story is that he is a local kid, growing up in Solon, OH and attending Walsh Jesuit High School before going to college at Duke. Here is a shot of Martin a week ago showing that he can stick it from 69 yards out:Final Roster Odds: 30%PunterKirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports1. Britton Colquitt - Veteran PunterHeight: 6-3 | Weight: 210 lbs | Age: 33Experience: 9 years | College: TennesseeBritton Colquitt finished with a career high in punting average last year (47.6 yards per punt). His net average of 40.6 yards per punt was the second best of his career. Punters age well, so the fact that this will be his ninth year in the NFL isn’t a bad thing, and he’s still under contract through 2020.The primary thing that could cost Colquitt his job is an injury. He did miss minicamp to injury, but the team labeled it as a very minor knee injury Youth Emmanuel Ogbah Jersey , and that he was expected to be ready for the start of camp. He does face some competition this year in the form of a punter who punted all season last year with Green Bay.Final Roster Odds: 90%Jim Matthews-USA TODAY Sports2. Justin Vogel - Veteran PunterHeight: 6-5 | Weight: 220 lbs | Age: 24Experience: 2 years | College: MiamiIn early May, the Browns claimed Justin Vogel from the Green Bay Packers. Vogel was an undrafted free agent out of Miami in 2017 who signed with the Packers. He played in all 16 games for them, logging 71 punts and setting a franchise record with a 41.6 net average.Why did the Packers move on from of Vogel? They wanted to give him a shot to catch on elsewhere after the front office decided to spend a fifth-round draft pick this year on P JK Scott. He also had some good hang time, per Pro Football Focus:If Vogel lights it up in camp compared to Colquitt, it wouldn’t be unheard of for the youngster to unseat the veteran. I’m not counting on it, though.Final Roster Odds: 10%Long SnapperScott R. Galvin-USA TODAY Sports1. Charley Hughlett - Veteran Long SnapperHeight: 6-4 | Weight: 248 lbs | Age: 28Experience: 4 years | College: Central FloridaThree full seasons completed in his tenure with the Browns, and Charley Hughlett hasn’t had the yips yet. He is under contract through the 2022 season. I’d be curious to ask a former NFL long snapper how often they snapped during the offseason to make sure they remained picture perfect in their craft. It is a high pressure position to play; any other position can afford to have a gaffe every now and then, but one miscue by a long snapper and they instantly turn into a goat.Final Roster Odds: 100% Custom Seattle Seahawks Jerseys
