Chubb was on The Jim Rome Show this week and said that the team thought it would skate by on talent without putting in hard work.

“I said it before, I think we thought we were a lot better than we were,” Chubb said. “We thought it was going to just happen for us, we didn’t actually put the work in. We got this guy, and this guy, you know we’re straight, so we don’t need to actually work, it’s going to happen for us. . . . Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work. I think that’s exactly what it was with us. We had all the talent in the world, but didn’t put the work into it.”

Chubb said he believes the new coaching staff and seeing “the results of not working” will put the Browns on a better path when they are able to get back together to wipe the “bad taste” of last year out of their mouths.

It was obvious even before last season that the maturity of the browns was a big problem.

I think they could bounce back this year but it will depend on Mayfield.
