Closing in on Gameday Against the Ravens, Takeaways from Browns Coach Hue Jackson’s Friday’s Presser

On if he has seen a pattern for WR Antonio Callaway’s performance starting slow and then picking up throughout the game with a big play, including preseason:

“You said it. I do not think that there is anything to it. I think that you are right, what you just said is what I have seen. Does not play as well early and starts making plays later. He has to start faster. We are talking about a young man that had not played football for a whole year. I think he is getting back into it. He understands that he needs to start faster for our football team.”

On if nerves factor into Callaway’s performance early in games:

“No, I do not have an explanation for it. I do not think that he does. I just think that in those situations when you have not played, when you are just getting back into the groove and you are out there playing, here it is. The anxiety probably kicks in a little bit. That is all I can think of. I do not want to make it more than what it is because I think that he can make plays. He needs to make plays for us whenever we call his number.”
