Week 3: Clutch Colt

by Dan O'Connor on September 26th, 2011

A sloppy game with an exciting finish. Colt McCoy struggled all game, but moved the chains and made the touchdown when the game was on the line. Colt showed off his intangibles of mental toughness and leadership. MoMass helped Colt out by making an outstanding catch.

As much as I liked Colt's 4th quarter drive, I am still concerned. He missed a lot of open receivers throughout the game. And in 3 games this year Colt is averaging under 6 yards per completion. He cannot continue to live under 6 yards. He doesn't have to average over 8 yards such as a Tom Brady, Aaron Rogers or Ben Rothlisberger, but he could live above 7 yards such as Drew Brees, Matt Hasselbeck or Joe Flacco.

But, McCoy is still very young, he still has a lot of time to improve. He is showing signs of beig first legitimate quarterback since the Browns 1999 return. Colt is known for working hard, so you know he will continue to address all weaknesses of his game.

Other Highlights
-Montario Hardesty amassing 86 total yards in Hillis' absence.
-Cribbs catching 49 yards and a TD.
-Watson catching 64 yards.
-Browns defense holding Miami out of goal range in the final seconds of the game, sacks from Antyba Rubin, Phil Taylor, D'Qwell Jackson, Jayme Mitchell, Chris Gocong, and Mike Adams game ending interception.
