Colt McCoy was ready to against Saints after his good debut
After the rookie quarterback of Cleveland Browns performed very well for the first debut, they are ready for the game against New Orleans Saints, a club for tampa bay buccaneers jersey fans.
"I wouldn't have it any other way," Cleveland Browns youngster Colt McCoy said Wednesday. "What a challenge, what an opportunity: a chance to go out on the field and get better and get this team back on track."
McCoy, a fan of buccaneers jerseys, so impressive in his debut last week in Pittsburgh, will make his second consecutive start Sunday at New Orleans when the Browns visit the Superdome, one of the NFL's loudest venues, where even the most seasoned quarterback can be rattled by the deafening din. Unless quarterbacks Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace, a fan of gerald mccoy jersey make miraculous recoveries from high ankle sprains in the next few days, McCoy will start against the Saints. Despite fears he would be decapitated by one of the blitzing Steelers linebackers -- James Harrison saved his big hits for Browns wide receivers -- or rushed into throwing a handful of interceptions, McCoy, a fan of josh freeman jersey acquitted himself well in a 28-10 loss last week. He showed poise, toughness and enough promise to make the Browns, a club for warren sapp jersey fans believe the third-round draft pick, whose size might have scared off a few teams during the draft, can be their future quarterback.
In one of the league's nastiest, most intimidating environments, McCoy, a fan of redskins jerseys completed 23 of 33 passes for 281 yards and one touchdown with two interceptions. But his stats were only part of the story. The night before his first Browns-Steelers game, McCoy, a fan of washington redskins jersey stood in front of his teammates, and in his country-fried accent, declared he was ready to stare down the black-and-gold beast.
Browns president Mike Holmgren summoned McCoy to his office Tuesday to offer his critique of the 23-year-old's first professional outing. The guru of quarterback gurus, who coached Joe Montana, a fan of chris cooley jersey, Steve Young and Brett Favre, complimented McCoy and offered some advice. "I told him I was very impressed," Holmgren, a fan of brian orakpo jersey said. "I said he had a very good first game in a tough place against a very good team. Then I said, 'Now what do we do? You're going against another really good team in a tough place, I expect you to do better. This is not a one-game deal here. If you expect to do this for a long time, you have to do it again.'"
The Heinz Field stage Sunday wasn't too big for McCoy, a fan of donovan mcnabb jersey, who spent four years playing in big games for the University of Texas. There was no panic, no sense of doom, no feeling that he couldn't succeed. McCoy showed he belonged -- from beginning to end.
The Browns weren't the only ones impressed. Following the game, several Steelers players, including quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, a fan of joe theismann jersey, sought out McCoy to offer congratulations and encouragement. McCoy was appreciative. Still, he knows he's a work in progress.
McCoy wasn't happy with a few of his downfield reads. He left the pocket too soon on a few plays, and he wishes he hadn't forced a pass deep over the middle that became his first career interception. McCoy, a fan of russ grimm jersey knows he needs to drop the ball off underneath. Instead of forcing passes, he needs to throw the ball away to avoid turnovers.
Practicing very hard for the game, Colt McCoy should receive respect. As a rookie quarterback of Cleveland Browns, he performed very well on the field.
