Browns QB Colt McCoy Sought Advice From Brett Favre About West Coast Offense

Discussion in 'Cleveland Browns' started by BigBlueBruiser, Aug 16, 2011.

  1. Needing to get up to speed on the Cleveland Browns new complex offense during the offseason, Colt McCoy sought advice from a West Coast master. Brett Favre was happy to help. As the league's labor lockout dragged on, McCoy went to Hattiesburg, Miss., and spent a few days with the three-time NFL MVP, who learned the West Coast system while playing for Browns president Mike Holmgren in Green Bay. McCoy gleaned all he could from the-retired-at-the-moment Favre, who won a Super Bowl with Holmgren in 1996. "Since I couldn't get coached, it was a great opportunity to pick the brain of a guy who played in the system for 20 years," McCoy said through a team spokesman. "It was a chance for me to get a lot of questions answered. We worked on footwork, progressions, reads and things like that. It was definitely a positive trip." McCoy is expected to offer more on the Favre visit Tuesday.

    I'm sure you did. He still probably has a cannon. It just doesn't help when it's at the RB's feet. And even when playing at his best, he had big floppy clown feet.
