BEREA, Ohio – Greg Joseph was doing what most Brown fans were doing Sunday afternoon.
"I was at the water's edge, I just had fun with friends, I relaxed, I watched the games," he said on Tuesday. day after signing with the Browns. "Nothing crazy."
OK, maybe the Browns fans were not on the Lake Erie beaches on Sunday, but you have the picture. He watched kickers across the league struggling. The only difference – well, aside from the beach – was that Joseph had skin in his skin.
"You still think about it," he said. "It's a small family of kicks.I do not pray anyone for someone to fail, no kick, a period, but when the opportunity arises, you have to make it work. and do your best. "
Joseph spent his off-season with the Miami Dolphins after signing with them at Florida Atlantic University. He lost a battle of kicks against Jason Sanders, a seventh-round pick from Miami. Joseph made his three goal attempts on the field and his two extra points tried during the pre-season.
"I think I did well," Joseph said. "I played in the four preseason games.My movie is airing.My statistics are available.I have learned a lot about myself, the athlete I am and the competitor I am I am ready to bring it here. "
Joseph said he had not done all of his seven kicks during Monday's training session, but the one he missed by 56 yards, he repeated and did.
Thursday night, a different challenge will be cast under a spotlight in a real NFL game at FirstEnergy Stadium. It will not be like kicking me in mid-December – or even in the first game against Pittsburgh – but it will have its challenges.
"I've been working with (the former Browns and the current Bears kicker) Cody (Parkey), coached with him during the off season," Joseph said. "He's awesome.It's a great spirit to choose from, and he's helped me a lot throughout this trip, as well as other contributions from other players who have been here." in the past, I'm just going to take my footing. "
Do some of these kicks, and life for Joseph will be a beach.
