Braylon Edwards Quotations

We have so many guys who can make plays. We worked on getting a hard outside move because they like to go with the first move. We worked on it so much it became second nature. It was just like practice.

Some fathers and sons don't get along that well when they're younger because they can't find a way to reach each other, ... A father loves you dearly but you don't see it and so you're always trying to please your father, but your father doesn't let you know how he feels, which is, you don't have to please him because he already loves you.

If they had new plays, Charlie called me to tell me what plays they went over.

I couldn't have drawn it up any other way. Playing in my first game, in my hometown before my family, coaches and friends and to win the game on that play.

I couldn't have drawn it up any better.

He was a little surprised I called because it wasn't a big deal to him, and it wasn't a big deal to the organization so we just moved past it,

He helped me understand where they were at in terms of the progression of the offense. If they had new plays, Charlie called me to tell me what plays they went over.

We lost to the team with the worst record in the NFL. It's time for some answers.

My mom, she's the general, ... She runs the team. She has always been my inspiration. She's a very, very strong woman. She's passive and laid back and calm, but at the same time she can get in your grill, on your case. I believe that every good parent evolves, that a parent keeps growing until it's time for their kids to be on their own. That's the way she was.

It felt good to pretty much play the whole game. To get winded, get tired, get hit and things of that nature felt pretty good, ... I think everything went well. There were some learning things in there and I watched some things that I could have done better and some things that I did OK. ... Now we are ready to move forward and play Chicago.

That's what I do. That's what I was drafted for, ... I was drafted to make plays, and it gets to a point where you have to give it to the guy who is here to make plays.

Michigan taught me a lot. It taught me a lot about maturity, accountability, dependability. And there were so many things to meet, having that number, things I would have earned. If I had went to Michigan and just worn 80 and had a good career, I wouldn't have fulfilled what I wanted.

When you're the third player (drafted) overall, you have to make plays like that. It was great to have my family, coaches and friends here.

We wanted to pay tribute to him for revolutionizing the position. He was the front-runner.

When Gary made that interception, he let us know that we have to take advantage of our opportunity. This was our game to lose, not that this is a game in which we can win.

When I got into the end zone, I was so overcome with joy my mind went blank. I forgot everything my boys had showed me and I had to break down and celebrate with my teammates - the guys who helped me get there.

When you get drafted this high, you want to prove that you're not a bust, ... You want to prove that it was worth their while.

We're the older group on the field right now. To ease the transition, our jobÊis toÊalways be in the right spot, so the quarterback doesn't have to find us, and to never show disgust with the quarterback on the field, because the fans and the media will see that and start to criticize him, and by the same token lower his confidence.

I've been really anxious to get back on the football field. The main thing now is its over with.

It was weird at first but then it was kind of fun. I was just laughing and cracking jokes, being a cheerleader.

Young is a phenomenal athlete. You can obviously compare him to Michael Vick.

It's time for me to make plays, ... That's what it's time for.

It talked about the kind of man that he is and as a player you always want this kind of coach. You always dream to play for this kind of coach.

They want to take the most cautious route possible. There is still a lot of football to be played. As a competitor, I feel I can go now, but it's not up to me. It's up to the healing. Once the possibility of something happening diminishes, that's when they'll let me play.

I knew right away. To be honest, I hoped for the best. I prayed right away. But I knew as soon as I landed it was bad. I heard it buckle. I heard it crumble.

I'm on such an emotional high ... my adrenaline alone will carry me through it.

I'm happy that it was fixed. It could have went a different direction. I'm just happy to be healthy and back.

I just told them no one's going to jump with me. I told them I thought the play would work. I gave input and he listened and we were able to make a play.

Charlie would bring a little more life, because he's younger. He's younger and he has more spunk. He'd be excited and jacked out of his mind to play, so if he came in there, it would be just a different attitude in terms of excitement and energy level, because he's a young guy that would be getting a shot.

He's a professional. He knows a lot about the game and can give you a lot of insights. The great thing about him is that he provides a lot of detail. He never leaves anything out. After he explains something to you, you'd be an idiot to mess it up.

He provides all the details. He doesn't leave anything out. Some people will tell you something and leave out Part Three. After he tells you something, you'd be an idiot if you mess it up. He listens, too. A lot of people teach but don't listen. He listens as well as teaches.

The first thing I want to do is learn the Cleveland Browns' offense. What I mean by that is not just being able to read the plays, but being in sync with everybody and knowing where everybody is going to be on every play and doing every thing I can to help the team. What I can do to help the team is wait to come back when I'm 100 percent and then do the things I started to do before I left.

The first time they throw me the ball.
