Embattled Cleveland Browns QB Brady Quinn talks to the media ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens in Baltimore. (On how he is doing) I feel good. Im ready to go. (On if he is still optimistic) Yes. Im always optimistic. I think we can always take good things away from a game, even in defeat. Looking back on it, I feel like weve progressed in some areas and obviously we didnt progress in other areas. Thats what we are trying to work on today. (On what he feels he is doing wrong) The overall operation of the huddle. Getting guys in and out, getting guys in the right positions. The checks have been pretty solid for us so far, and sometimes making a play we have to. Making a smart decision or making a more conservative play at times as well. (On what he doesnt like about his performance) Turnovers are one key aspect. At the end of the game, just trying to make a play, trying to push the ball downfield and get some sort of touchdown at the end. We still had a timeout at the end of the game. I probably could have dumped it down again, taken the timeout and try to take another shot. Aside from that, Im still looking forward to continuing to progress with this offense and the rest of our team. (On if he expected the first two games to go smoother) Im always hopeful and always optimistic. Going into every game, you always feel extremely confident about the game plan you have and how things have gone, especially after you have a good week of practice, like we did last week. Again, we just have to get better as a whole, and continue to mesh as an offensive unit. (On if there were a couple plays on Sunday that he can point out that would have made a difference) Its tough to point out specific plays. I know one in particular, I threw the ball a little high to (Mike) Furrey on third down. At that time of the game, had it been a completion, move the chains there, you never know what can happen. I dont want to put it on one specific play. You can probably do that with a lot of things. It might have changed the momentum of the game at the time, but you never really know how it would have played out. You cant always say what if. (On if he was referring to the pass attempt to Furrey early in the game) I dont think it was early, actually I think it was in the third quarter if Im not mistaken. (On if the ball was sailing on him because he was pressing during the game) Maybe at times, but I dont feel it sailed. It sailed on me a couple times, but I think I just didnt get my feet in order to make a more accurate throw at times. I think I might have been pressing during those particular throws. Outside of that though, I dont feel like Im pressing so much, Im just trying to take what the defense gives us and not force bad decisions. (On if the wind played a major factor in Denver) I dont think so. It was noticeably different from pregame but going into the game, I dont think it affected a whole lot of the throws or anything like that. Im never going to allow the wind to be an excuse for a missed throw. (On if Joe Flacco, Matt Ryan and Mark Sanchez have set the bar for young quarterbacks) Yes, I think so. Theyve done a great job. You have to give them a lot of credit but I think you have to give their team a lot of credit as well. Whether its Matt Ryan in Atlanta or Joe Flacco or Sanchez in New York, I think youve noticed that their whole team is really producing well. They have a solid running game, their special teams is putting them in good positions to make plays. It kind of opens things up more downfield for them. (On the challenges from Baltimore) Obviously from a personnel standpoint we know they bring a lot to the table. Thats something you have to deal with in this division. Playing in Baltimore is tough as well. They have a loud stadium there. We have our hands full this week, but we have a lot to work on this week on ourselves. We are going to focus on that and were going to focus on putting in a game plan that we feel confident in. (On if he feels he held the ball too long) Maybe at times. One of the
