Cleveland’s Mary Kay Cabot appeared on the BMitch and Finlay (106.7 The Fan) show Monday afternoon, discussing former Cleveland and now Washington quarterback Jacoby Brissett. Here are some excerpts from the interview, and here is the interview in full audio form.
“Oh, he is absolutely a great guy! Washington will be so happy to have Jacoby Brissett in their locker room. It will go a long way to helping Sam (Howell) get to where he needs to be, team unity, morale, everything, you name it. He held everything together here last year during a very tumultuous time.”
“He is funny; he is down to earth. He is passionate about the game. He is appreciative of any opportunity he gets, one of the greatest guys you could have around.”
“The reason (he came to Washington) is to have an opportunity to get on the field and play. Washington offers a better chance for him to do that. They might decide, depending upon how everybody looks in training camp, Jacoby is going to start the first four or five games.”
“He is very hard to sack and to bring down. He is sneaky, and elusive. Good short-yardage runner, can convert those 4th & 1s like no one else probably.”
“He is very accurate, and he does not throw interceptions. He is not a flashy, spectacular, improvisational playmaker necessarily. I thought they got the best out of him here last year.”
With the Commanders’ plan already having been to move forward with Sam Howell, they have basically swapped out Taylor Heinicke and replaced him with Jacoby Brissett.
