Former Browns coach calls into Cleveland radio show to advocate for Joe Flacco

After a solid debut for the Cleveland Browns, Joe Flacco has gained supporters wishing to see him play more. Former Browns coach Al Saunders called into a local Cleveland radio station on The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima to plead Flacco’s case.

“There is no decision here. I coached Joe Flacco in Baltimore. When the Browns signed Joe, I sent [Browns GM] Andrew Berry and the coaching staff [a text] and said what a great move that was. Because the time to win for Cleveland is now.”

Saunders, of course, was a senior offensive assistant and wide receiver coach under Hue Jackson from 2016-2018.

Flacco played well until the final three drives of the game but showed as far as arm talent he has the most of any player currently on the active roster. The Browns find themselves in control of their destiny in the playoffs and Flacco brings the highest floor on the team. We will see if Flacco can stack another good game if he gets his first start at home where the Browns have dominated.
