Browns' Kendricks takes shots at former Eagles teammates
Browns linebacker Mychal Kendricks was front and center during Cleveland's preseason preparation for the Philadelphia Eagles - his former team.
On Tuesday's episode of "Hard Knocks," Kendricks gave a personal scouting report to his fellow defenders on the Eagles' offense. During the clip, he took shots at tight end Zach Ertz and offensive tackle Halapoulivaati Vaitai, who was filling in for Jason Peters.
"(Ertz) I think is the best receiver on the team," Kendricks said. "Notice I said 'receiver.' When it comes to blocking, you hit his f---ing ass over and over, he doesn't want any smoke.
"Big V? Vaitai. He's so big that his size allows him to do what he does. You see, but he doesn't have the quickest feet and he's not the strongest. He doesn't trust his feet at all. You get on him, his confidence will go down."
The veteran linebacker also provided a scouting report of quarterback Nick Foles.
"Playing with Nick Foles, I realized on his long balls, his deep balls, he has like a teardrop effect," Kendricks told the team, via Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio. "He's tall and he likes to drop it literally from the sky. So, corners, the timing's just a little slower on the ball coming."
Kendricks claimed HBO did not air his entire scouting report, which revolved around Cleveland needing to harness their talent like the 2017 Eagles did, per The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane.
The Browns defeated Philadelphia 5-0 last Thursday.
