know (defensive coordinator) Dick Jauron very well (Jauron was on Coughlin’s staff in Jacksonville from
1995-98).”
Q: The Browns are 0-4, but they’ve played everybody close, played everybody tough. Players are
human. They’re going to look at an 0-4 record and…
Coughlin: “Sometimes it’s not even worth telling them what the record is. You look at the scores. I
follow the record with the scores and the scores are all, with the exception of the Buffalo game, which
was 10 points, they’re all very winnable games. As a matter of fact, against Philadelphia, if the
linebacker catches an easy interception, right in his hands, Cleveland beats Philadelphia in the opener.
So they’re talented. They play hard. They’ve been in every game. They have a good, hard, tough runner
(rookie Trent Richardson) that you’re going to have to really gang tackle. You've got a great return team.
Their return game is outstanding and the field goal kicker (Phil Dawson) is six for six over 40 yards and
four for four from 50. He made three 50-yarders in a row in one game (at Baltimore) in the rain.”
Q: Last year, the same questions were asked when Miami came in at 0-6 and it was a fourth quarter
game.
Coughlin: “Every one of Cleveland’s games is a fourth-quarter game, so I don’t see this being any
different.”
