Browns special teams coordinator Bubba Ventrone knew the chance he had when he called for the Browns to whip out 'Indy' against the Colts on Sunday
Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett's blocked field goal had a unique play call from special teams coordinator Bubba Ventrone.But when you’re gonna make a special teams call as gutsy as this one -- the one that required Myles Garrett to jump over the Colts’ line in order to block a field goal attempt -- it’s OK to be a bit tonuge-in-cheek.
It was the kind of sequence that may only work once in a season, so Ventrone knew he had to wait for the right moment to show his cards -- and what better chance than against the team Ventrone spent the previous five seasons? There weren’t tryouts for the blocker, either -- it was just a responsibility that easily fell to Garrett given the fact that -- well, he’s Myles Garrett, and can just do things that a lot of players can’t.
Za’Darius Smith told reporters after the game in Indianapolis that some of his teammates floated his name for the feat. “We were going over it, I was like, I mean, how low should I be?” Teller said Monday on Zoom. “He goes, just don’t pop up. You know what I mean? It’s like at the end of the day, just don’t pop up. You don’t have to be too low to the ground because it’s got to be like a game-like situation. It was executed perfectly. He hit, square palmed that ball. I mean that’s amazing. But 95′s the real deal.”
