Joe Schobert: Cleveland Browns can play with anyone – Jim Rome Show Live Interview

By Site Admin | October 4, 2019

Joe Schobert took some time on Wednesday to speak with Jim Rome about the 2019 season.

One big takeaway was his belief the Cleveland Browns could compete with any team in the NFL.

Linebacker Joe Schobert had arguably the best game of his NFL career on Sunday, recording 17 tackles as the Cleveland Browns defeated the Baltimore Ravens. On Wednesday, he was a guest on the Jim Rome show and discussed that performance as well as his thoughts on what the team can do moving forward.

Schobert talked about teams that compete for Super Bowls being able to play their best football as the season goes on. His belief is that November and December football means more than what happens in September — and he’s absolutely right.

He also said he thinks the Browns are trending in the right direction and as long as they keep working together, they can compete with anyone in the NFL.

One of the main reasons he believes in this team is the quarterback, Baker Mayfield. When Rome brought up the way Mayfield can shake off a bad performance and get the job done, Schobert echoed that and said he is a “competitor till the last dying breath.”

From there, Rome went on to discuss the way the Ravens fans reacted when Nick Chubb reeled off an 88-yard touchdown to ice the Week 4 win.

After Baltimore had pulled to within six points at 24-18, Chubb ran a long one to the house which started to send fans out the stadium. Schobert said it “sucked the air out of the entire stadium.”

He added that when the defense then intercepted Lamar Jackson fans “started leaving in masses.”

Rome then tried to discuss Schobert’s huge performance but the consummate professional was real quick to turn it back to the team. After saying he never expected to be involved that much, Schobert just said he was “happy to be able to produce and help the team win.”

A Pro Bowl linebacker in 2017, Schobert is in the final year of his contract and is playing the best football of his career. He’s making it really hard for the team to avoid paying him long-term, but at the same time, he’s driving his own asking price through the roof.
