Carlos Hyde: “The fans have been doing a hell of a job during home games.”

The Cleveland Browns won Sunday 12-9 against the Baltimore Ravens but it wasn’t just because of the play on the field according to some players.

“The fans have been a big help,” said Browns’ Runningback Carlos Hyde.

“They have been really loud when the other team has the ball. When it is crucial time, they get really loud. I kind of had a feeling about of how Ohio fans can really be at football games from Ohio State. There they get really loud, and the defense can feed off of that and everybody in the building can feed off of that except for the other teams. They do not want it to be like that. The fans have been doing a hell of a job during home games.”

Hyde went on to say the Browns have to win at home, “We have to protect our house at any cost. We are doing a good job so far, and we just got to keep building on it. We have to protect our house at any cost.”

Browns Linebacker Joe Schobert said there was plenty of emotion in First Energy Stadium, “Obviously, it is why we are competitors and play the game. You want to win, and Cleveland has been starved of winning the last couple of years. Just from everybody – the fans, the players – there was an overjoy and lots of emotion and something that we look forward to experiencing many times in the near future.”

Schobert said a home field advantage comes with winning.  He went on to say the fans make it easier to do his job, “I think it is very important. When you go other places where people have been successful for a long time, you kind of see how their home field advantage has been built just with the crowd and the energy of the stadium.”

“Just being successful at home and getting lots of people out to the game and have the Dawg Pound be rocking when we are doing well is a huge source of pride for us as a team. It is important for us because when the other teams are on offense and our fans are being loud and disruptive, it makes their communication harder and it is easier for us to do our job. Being able to be successful at home and keeping the fans and the city excited to come to the games is definitely something that we look forward to having better this year.”
