Colt Mccoy Coaching Teammates On Browns’ New System
-
I am a HUGE Colt Fan! The kid just has a passion for the game & winning that you seldom see. I heard Newton say the other night that, (after playing in a very simple system at Auburn), learning Pro terminology will be "no problem". This after John Gruden told him that would be his biggest hurdle. I think that, despite his immense physical talent, Cam Newton will NOT live up to the hype as he has no clue as to how hard he will need to work. Physical talent at QB will only take you so far. I think Colt has that EXTRA dimension that will take him BEYOND what many feel are his physical limitations.

Colt McCoy coaching teammates on Browns’ new system

By rule, NFL players haven’t been permitted to meet with coaches or get their playbooks except on the one day that the lockout was briefly lifted. But Browns quarterback Colt McCoy sounds like he has a suspiciously good feel for the system run by the team’s new head coach, Pat Shurmur.
McCoy told Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer that he’s the man running the show at the players’ offseason workouts because he’s the one who knows the offense.
“We have a new coach and a new system and I’m really the only one that has that much clue about what’s going on,” said McCoy. “I’ve spent a lot of time in the playbook, so it was important for us to get together and study. It was a lot mental. We spent a lot of time understanding the basic foundation of what goes on in the West Coast. It’s a lot different from what we ran last year.”
The Browns were reportedly fined $50,000 for improper contact with players, but if that contact has them ahead of other teams when the lockout finally ends, then $50,000 is a bargain.
McCoy also said that his throwing shoulder, which hadn’t been 100 percent since then-Alabama, now-Bills defensive tackle Marcell Dareus hit him in the national championship game 16 months ago, is finally as good as new.
“It feels as good as it’s ever felt,” McCoy said. “Throwing-wise, I definitely feel back up to speed. I’m not getting fatigued as much as what I was. I really feel good and confident, so that’s always a plus.”
And it’s a plus that he can make his teammates feel good and confident in the new offense.

I'm just hoping he doesn't have a sophmore slump.
You have to be a "Freshman Sensation" to have a sophomore slump. McCoy didn't play in enough games to be a freshman sensation. No, I think he will show steady improvement. If things go as I hope, by year 3-4 he will start to be at the top of his game.

blind leading the blind?
i mean, hey it's good he's showing leadership.....but the installation of an entirely new scheme? could he do more harm than good if he's not 100% on the same page as the coaches?
with all i've heard about Big Ben being a rapist and i go to a online sex offender registry and look up cleveland and Pittsburgh and what do i find? cleveland has a CRAP load more sex offenders (and expecially child molesters) than Pittsburgh.......over 4X as many over all. 2055 of them to Pittsburgh's 421. www.familywatchdog.us better never hear one of you date raping, can't get a woman with my tiny peep unless i hold her down, child molesting hypocrits say anything else about Ben. -

No shit Sherlock...These arent school kids troll boy, theyre grown Men...Its not like theyre gonna absorb it all in one day...what they will do is work on the basic fundamentals of the new offense such as Snap counts...route running...hand eye coordination looking downfield...and hitch steps...Hitch steps and route running are the most crucial of techniques in the WCO besides normal things like accuracy and play selection.

In all honesty we don't know how much the coaches talked to McCoy legally or not. He could be around 80% up to doped on the entire offense
