Bitonio expressed dislike with the way the Eagles handled Deshaun Watson, as defensive end Josh Sweat’s aggressive play led to a potential strip-sack scenario. Sharing his thoughts, Bitonio stated, “You’re not supposed to do that“. Moreover, a pivotal moment occurred when safety Reed Blankenship intercepted a pass, sparking a physical confrontation involving rookie safety Sydney Brown and Demetric Felton, which quickly escalated into a brief scuffle.

But the NFL games are all about aggression, and Bitonio acknowledged the fact by further emphasizing the team’s overall improved performance. Particularly, the Browns witnessed an upgrade in their offense facet, which further elevated their hopes for the 2023 NFL season.

Browns upgrading their offense

After the joint practice session, Bitonio expressed confidence in the offensive unit’s ability to work through high-pressure situations. The absence of key players, like right tackle Jack Conklin and receiver Elijah Moore, due to injuries did not drain Bitonio’s spirits. Furthermore, Bitonio praised Moore’s versatility and anticipated his crucial role in the Browns’ diverse offensive strategy.

But concludingly, Bitonio exclaimed the importance of improvement for the entire team. The joint practice session with the Eagles served as an opportunity for the Browns to evaluate their strengths and areas needing improvement. And as the Browns continue to refine their offensive techniques and strategize for the upcoming NFL season, it will be exciting to watch the Browns with revamped strategies. Quarterback Deshaun Watson and Nick Chubb’s duo will be a proving point for the Browns moving forward in the 2023 NFL season.
