Browns offensive coordinator Brad Childress wants quarterback Brandon Weeden to keep his gunslinger mentality despite mistakes in the preseason opener in Detroit, and the inevitable ones a rookie will make. Childress should know. He coached the master gunslinger, Brett Favre, in Minnesota. "You rarely want to sit on that ability,'' Childress said of Weeden. "A lot of times discretion is the better part of that valor of trying to stick it through the eye of a needle. But we want him to be aggressive. We him to keep shooting. Whether it was the fumble or interception, you want him to keep shooting where he's supposed to be shooting, so we won't dissuade him on that front, at least not right now.'' He said despite the stats (3-of-9 for 62 yards and an interception), he thought Weeden emerged with some positives. "He made a couple of nice throws,'' Childress said. "I think it was important for him to complete that first pbutt. And he threw a couple of different kinds of passes, with the throw up the field to Travis (Benjamin). We had a couple of rush issues, but I thought he did a decent job.'' Source: Cleveland Plain Dealer
