    Browns offensive coordinator Norv Turner is thrilled with Brandon Weeden so far and hopes the fans are too.

    "Well, I'm excited,'' he said. "Our players are excited. I hope our fans are excited. I’m a realist. I know that you can only control what you’re going against. We've played the Rams, we’ve played Detroit, and they gave us more than people think. Both teams blitzed us and we handled it well. Both teams mixed the coverages pretty good and I thought we handled it well. We just have to continue to prepare for the regular season. I don’t think we’re going to complete 75 percent of our passes in the regular season, but we’re doing it now and that’s something to build on.''

    In six series of work, Weeden has produced two field goals and three touchdown passes. He's completed 18-of-25 attempts for 229 yards, with three TDs and no interceptions for a 139.8 rating. The mark is second in the NFL only to Seattle's Tarvaris Jackson's 156.2. Weeden's also completed five passes of 20 yards or more.

    "I'm excited about what Brandon’s been able to do,'' said Turner. "The thing that we’ve spent a lot of time working on is trying to find out the things that he does best and combine them with the things that our players do best. Hopefully when we get into games, we’re able to feature the things that all our guys do best, and through the preseason action that Brandon’s had, we’ve been able to that.''
