Browns former WR Jarvis Landry defends his 'misinformation' claims
Former Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry has found himself in a back-and-forth with the Cleveland media, and the story grew on Friday.
The Jarvis Landry era in Cleveland was one that really put the franchise back on track. Cleveland had just come off a 1-31 stretch, and Landry was traded from Baltimore to Cleveland. Instead of letting his career die, he approached the opportunity head-on and tried to change the culture around the team.
He did more than try; he did it from the moment that he stepped into the building to the moment that he left four seasons later. Now, as he is transforming his career from playing to media, he is realizing that anytime he speaks about Cleveland, it is great for business. A few weeks ago, when Kevin Stefanski was hired by the Atlanta Falcons, Landry spoke about his experiences with Stefanski in Cleveland on his show, "4th and South.
" He spoke in broad terms about Stefanski needing to give up play calling in back-to-back seasons to offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt and how that can't be happening if the reason you are hired is play calling. It was a typical soundbite that got ripped and made to be much bigger than what it actually was. The message made its way back to the Cleveland media, and long-time beat reporter Mary Kay Cabot called what Landry said "misinformation.
" Allegedly, Cabot knew who was calling plays, and the Browns ' best wide receiver did not. š„ Jarvis Finally Responds. Calls Out Browns Reporters š "Some people in Cleveland they here for the turmoil.
