On his biggest takeaway from the two days of practice with the Buccaneers:
"It's just great work. It's good to have the majority of the guys out there healthy, moving around. Yesterday, you had to get acclimated to the weather, dig deep and figure out how to handle that. When you go from Cleveland to Tampa, it is always going to be a little bit of a change. It was good to see the guys show that grit and fight through. Today, just more good work out here with these guys. We appreciate them having us out here. You can't substitute this to go against another team for two straight days to get great work in."
On his work and performance throughout training camp and the preseason:
"It's just about being consistent every day. I don't praise myself. Without the guys around me, I wouldn't be able to do what I do. Football is a beautiful game because it takes 11 guys, and when all 11 are on the same page, it's a beautiful thing."
On if assimilating WRs Josh Gordon and Corey Coleman into the offense has gone well this week:
"Yeah, it has. All the guys have different strengths so you want to show those and utilize them when you get those matchups. When you don't have those matchups, you have to make the appropriate throws and check the ball down. When we get our chances to get them the ball, we definitely want to do that and they'll make the plays for us."
On if he ever considers it as 'an embarrassment of riches' to have so many weapons on the Browns offense:
"No, you can't. You can't look at it that way. You can't try to force the ball to one guy, and that's the beauty of it. We have a lot of guys that can do great things. You just have to give them opportunities, and they'll make those plays for you. They understand that, as well. There are a lot of guys. There are a lot of fish in the tank, and it's up to us to feed them the right way."
On Head Coach Hue Jackson's excitement about him going through his progression and completing some check downs today:
"Yeah, it's funny because you can throw a check down and Coach will just go berserk. You throw an 80-yard bomb, and he's just like, 'Next play guys. Next play.' It's just all about understanding the process. When it comes to football, check downs sometimes can be the best throw because it's the only throw that you need to make in that moment. Coach has been hard on me and the rest of the quarterbacks to make sure we are making the right decisions."
On the biggest challenges on Friday:
"I just think it's going against a great team in the Bucs. Very hospitable for them to allow us to come to their field, come to their house and practice against them, and keep each other safe, not allow anybody to get seriously injured. We just have to go out and win when it's winning time."
On his comfort with Jackson's offense and where he currently is with the reads and progressions:
"It's a learning process. Every day you have to go in there and look at the reads and watch the tape and understand that reads change from team to team from week to week because of the coverages that they play or who you're trying to attack or who we're trying to get the ball to on a certain play. All those reads change week by week, day by day, honestly. You have to be light on your feet and ready to adjust."
On looking forward to working with all of the Browns skill personnel for the first time this preseason:
"We just have to make sure we click. When we're out there on the field, make sure everybody is in the right spots, running the right routes and we're getting the ball to the guys that the coverage dictates. Like I said, you can't look at it on an individual by individual basis. It's all about the team, and all those guys know that we're about winning and about winning Browns football."
On his best advice to Buccaneers QB Jameis Winston in his second NFL season:
"I talk to Jameis a little bit, but my job isn't to tell you guys what I tell him (laughter). He just knows I'm always rooting for him, I'm praying for him and I know that he can do it."
On what impresses him most about Coleman:
"It's just about attention to detail with Corey. You watch him get off the ball. It's extremely impressive to watch him run every route like it's a go route. That's what you want to show teams, show defenses and defenders that you have to defend every cut. Corey is an impressive young man. He has a great group of guys around him that are going to help him and steer him in the right direction to be successful in this league."
On WR Josh Gordon's progress:
"They're all doing well. Josh, if you look at him, he's a physical specimen. It's fun to see him go out there, a man that big, that strong, that fast, and play wide receiver. It's incredible."
