[Still, for the Browns to improve on last year's record, Holcomb will have to be the one doing the heavy lifting. If he falls short of his goals, it won't be for lack of passion.] Every little kid sits in the sandlot playing with his friends and wanting to be an NFL quarterback, ... That's what this training camp was about, and that's what this season will be about -- just going out there and going for it. I know getting here hasn't been easy, but looking back, I wouldn't have it any other way. |

Every player on the field is important, ... I think that's what we tried to do the other day (vs. Miami), get everybody involved. We got Eric (Moulds) and Lee (Evans) involved, which we hadn't been able to do so far, and getting Mark (Campbell) and Willis (McGahee) some catches, the more you can do as an offense, the better off you'll be. |
He was just calling to congratulate me on getting to play. We just kind of swapped stories. |
He's a huge impact, ... Any time you can turn around and hand the ball off to a guy you know is going to get positive yards, that's big. That's big not only for the momentum but big for the passing game. |
He's one of those guys, when you're on the sideline, you get off the bench and watch him. He's one of those guys that you pay to come see play. He makes some unbelievable plays. |
He's the heart of their defense. He motivated them and got the crowd into it. |
I felt confident about the game plan, and I felt really good. It's the fifth game of the season. You don't want to say it's a must-win, but that's what it felt like. It was a must-win situation for us. Our guys responded well. |
I guess we all need to get on and ride him, ... And I have no problem with that. |
I just had some the other night, ... That was pretty neat (my own mustard and sauce). My kids liked it. I'm about to run out, though. |
I really don't have much of an ego. I just kind of roll with the punches. If they tell me to go in, I go in. ... But you can't sit around and worry about it, cry over it when things don't go your way. Just as long as we win, I'm happy. |
I think competition brings out the best in all people. |
I think experience goes a long way in the NFL, ... It certainly helped me the other day. I think back on my days in Cleveland and Indy, it definitely made me feel more comfortable. Miami had a different defense than a year ago, gave us a lot of different looks. But I was happy how our offense stepped up and played. |
I think that got us going. It was the second third down of the game. I knew I had man coverage and just had to get it out of my hand and get it to Lee. |
I think the offensive line did a heck of a job opening it up. Willis did a great job of hitting the holes and he was always going forward today. There were not many runs where he was going back. Every time he was getting hit, he was going forward. |
