The Day After; Five Takeaways from the Hue Jackson Presser After the Browns Tie with the Steelers

5. Cleaning up the Penalties

“We make it an emphasis. It has got to be more of an emphasis like it has been. Normally when I ask this team to do something, they have done it. I have asked them to clean something up, we did that in the pre-season. We got to get it cleaned up. I mean if you look across the league penalties were up yesterday. And some – the ones that are disappointing to me are the pre-snap penalties. Guys jumping off-sides, those types of things. I think those are inexcusable, so that is a concentration issue. We got to work through those and we will. The penalty on Myles, I got to understand that better as I mentioned before. There were some other penalties through the game that were called that we will work through those, too, and there were some that was not called. The play on Josh in the end zone by (Steelers DB) Joe Haden. But at the same time there were some calls on their side – I am sure they are seeing it the same way so. But we need to get better at it, there is no doubt. We do not need 11 penalties. Eleven penalties will not help us win.”
