Quarterback Ryan Tannehill Conference Call with Cleveland Media

(On what he sees in the Browns defense when he studies them on film) – “I see a defense that does a good job of pressuring when they want to pressure. They’re able to get after the quarterback a little bit. They’ll mix in some Cover 0 looks when they’re really trying to heat it up and get pressure on the quarterback in critical situations. They’ll mix that in with their zone coverage as well, so you have to be ready for everything.”

(On if Browns CB Joe Haden looks like the old Joe Haden to him) – “Joe is playing well right now. He had a couple of great plays in that game last week against the Ravens. Obviously the two interceptions, but he played really well and had some other breakups besides that. (I’m) really impressed with how he is playing right now.”

(On how he feels about Browns Senior Offensive Assistant/Wide Receivers Coach Al Saunders) – “I love Al. He’s a guy that’s been around the game for so long. (He has) so much football knowledge. (He’s) been around so many great players. To have him here for a brief time last year was great for the receivers that we have here. I’m sure he’s definitely making an impact up there, as well.”

(On the team’s morale) – “I think morale is as high as it could be at this point considering the situation that we’re in. (We’ve had) two tough road games (against) two top opponents, and we had our opportunities. We had opportunities to win both games, and we didn’t get it done. There’s a little bit of frustration, or we’re upset a little bit that, obviously, we didn’t get it done when we had opportunities to. But at the same time, we have 14 games in front of us. We have guys in the building that are working to do everything they can to make a correction and execute when it counts in a game. (We are) really excited about the opportunities that are in front of us in the next 14 games starting with Cleveland this week.”

(On TE Jordan Cameron’s athleticism) – “We’re trying to get him involved a little more. He is such a talented athlete, talented football player. He runs extremely well, has good hands and can do some really good things. It has been a work in progress trying to get him involved in the offense. I think last week we saw that (he) had a touchdown catch down in the red zone, and it’s something we’re going to be looking for more of as we move forward.”

(On facing the Dolphins’ defensive line in practice) – “(I am) definitely glad that I don’t have to see them in live action. (Laughter) We had a grueling training camp against those guys, battling every day (with) our guys up front, battling against those quality players and quality pass rushers. They kept the heat on us the whole camp, and I think it really made our offensive line improve and get better quickly, because of the quality of the rushers. Now we’re getting into the season and seeing those guys disrupt the run game a little bit and get after the quarterback, it’s a lot of fun.”
