The Cleveland Browns will be facing the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. It's going to be a tough contest for the Browns as they face the current leaders of the AFC North. Myles Garrett will be focusing on stopping Lamar Jackson from being comfortable inside the pocket.
However, Garrett's controversial tackle against Trevor Siemian has some pundits calling him out for his ultra-aggressive play. However, he told the press that he has no plans on changing how he approaches the game.
He talked with Dan Labbe of cleveland.com about his playing style and addressed calls for him to adjust his game. He insisted that his tackle on Siemian wasn't meant to harm him in any shape or form.
“I don’t feel like I intentionally landed on the guy or hit him late,” Garrett said.
He also said that he's not going to change how he plays. He also called for consideration among defenders.
“I know QBs have the most protection in the league,” he said, “but, at the same time, you’ve got to defend us as well. You can’t expect us to try and do every single thing to get out of the way of them and potentially risk hurting ourselves to try to keep him from touching the ground harder than laying a pillow on the bed.”
Garrett has an impressive tally of six sacks, the second-most in the NFL. He's imposed his will on opposing offenses and will surely make his presence felt against the ultra-mobile Lamar Jackson.
Garrett will need to perform at his best to have a shot at winning this game. And in order to for them to do that, he must play the way he always does.
