Jaquan Brisker on Jared Verse: He should have kept his mouth shut

Published November 1, 2026 06:43 PM Browns defensive end Jared Verse talked the talk, but he didn’t back it up, and the Steelers let him know both on the field and in their postgame comments.The Steelers beat the Browns 27-6, and Verse totaled one assist and one quarterback hit.“He should have kept his mouth shut,” Steelers safety Jaquan Brisker said, via video from Ashley Wenskoski of Pittsburgh Sports Tonight. “All that talking, and then to come out with zero tackles, that’s bad. You didn’t stand your words and you didn’t stand on business. He’s gotta look at himself in the mirror and get better.”Verse talked after the Browns’ 27-24 victory over the Steelers in Week 4, calling Pittsburgh’s offensive line dirty. He talked again last week, saying he wasn’t worried about “nobody they go on their team” and that the Browns were going to “make Pittsburgh ours . . . on Sunday.”“We didn’t really pay attention to it,” running back Jaylen Warren said, via video from Nick Farabaugh of Penn Live. “Some walk. Some talk.”Verse, who was part of the Rams trade for Myles Garrett in June, has no sacks and six quarterback hits in eight games.
