Browns 23, Jaguars 13
Q. (No microphone.)
GREG NEWSOME: You know, as soon as they gave it to him, next-play mentality. They gave it to him, get ready to play the next ball.
Q. (No microphone.)
GREG NEWSOME: I mean, at the end of the day I got to keep my eyes on my man, finish the play. I don't know what is going on back there, but my job is to not let him catch the football and I let him catch the football.
At the end of the day I just got to stick my eyes to my man and finish the play.
Q. (No microphone.)
GREG NEWSOME: It's cool. I mean, he's obviously another fellow rookie, so he's learning just like I am. He had a solid start. Like I say, all rookies, it's our first game so a lot of rookies are going to make mistakes. We all make mistakes. I think he played a pretty good first game.
Q. (Regarding guys up front) How did that help you?
GREG NEWSOME: I mean, that helps me a ton. When I know my I know my D-line is going to get to the quarterback, that means the ball has to be out fast, therefore I got to be tight in my coverage.
So shout out to the guys up front and to the front seven. Man, they do a great job of creating pressure and things like that. I'm very thankful for those guys up front.
Q. (No microphone.)
GREG NEWSOME: Yeah, man, you know, I was a little mad already from getting the ball caught on me. Like I said, next-play mentality, and I was ready to make that next play.
So I was just ready to go, and it was a good play.
Q. (No microphone.)
GREG NEWSOME: Man, he was a stud, he's a beast. I'm glad we got him on our team for sure. You seen what he did today. Obviously he came off the COVID list so he's really fresh into things. He's really not even close to where he's going to be at all either. He played a great first game.
Q. You're pretty fast. Did his speed surprise you?
GREG NEWSOME: No. I seen it from the first day at rookie mini camp how this guy moves. He's a beast.
