Linebacker Jacob Phillips happy to have fresh start with Jim Schwartz

On Wednesday at the Greater Cleveland Sports Awards, linebacker Jacob Phillips spoke about new defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz as he enters his fourth season with the Cleveland Browns. Phillips, who didn’t have a good season at all believes the change was needed and is excited about the new system Schwartz brings:

“We’ve got to make relationships and earn the trust from a new coach, so it’s definitely a fresh start and I think it’s good. I think it’s needed and it will work out good

Obviously he has a resume and you see the players that he’s been able to coach over this time and super excited for it. Super excited to learn, super excited to be around him and the depth of his knowledge. So just kind of grasping onto that moment and can’t wait ‘til football rolls back around”

Time will tell if the move was the right one but it seems the players are happy with the change.
