Deshaun Watson admitted that criticism fuels him.

-- who recorded all 393 of Jalen Hurts’ reps -- certainly wasn’t the only harsh review Watson received after the two days of practices against the No. 2 defense in the NFL in 2022, and No. 1 against the pass. The Eagles were also first in the NFL with 70 sacks, more than twice that of the Browns’ 34.“I don’t get too involved in it,” he said Wednesday before practice. “The response on there wasn’t about the stats or anything like that.
He noted that defenders can also sometimes be unfairly judged during joint practices because they’re often left on an island, unlike most times in a game situation. “On both sides, not just me and being on the offense, but on the defense, you’ve got to give them credit, too, because a lot of times—they don’t usually have safety help over top as a corner, and sometimes they don’t because it just depends on what we’re working on,” he said. “So I don’t really get caught up in that. That’s the only reason why I responded.
“It was nothing towards Philly or anybody in the media. It was just, understand the situation of what we’re working on when you have joint practices. And then with the criticism and stuff like that, like I said before, I don’t get involved in that. I guess you must be pretty good if you’re having some type of criticism. So you’ve always got to have those talks and negativities to keep you motivated, keep you pushing forward and keep trying to be better. So that’s the biggest thing.
