The record, in order.

Speaking of cadence, how much are you evaluating the throws, the completions and all that versus the smaller things you’re talking about with the cadence and pre-snap?

…everything's not weighted equally… ultimately, the quarterback that's going to play is the one that gives us the best chance to score points.Todd Monken

Todd, not just for the quarterbacks, but every position, how do you balance the micro analysis evaluation with the bigger picture? How does that balance in terms of not putting too much on one specific practice or one specific period, but k

…it's not really one play or one practice. It's the totality of the days… what you really want to see is improvement. If our players aren't improving, then who are we as coaches, really?Todd Monken

More specifically to that, was the quarterbacks airing it out for some plays down field, was that by design, and specifically, what can you learn from a day like that?

The one by [Shedeur], it was just trying to fit it into a tight window down the field. The other one, we got a little push into Deshaun's face and we overthrew it. Every one of them is going to have a story.Todd Monken

How do you teach, in practice, about risk management for quarterbacks? Practice is the time to see what works, but you never want to see an interception.

They understand in terms of what it does to your team when you turn the ball over, in terms of the number one stat in winning and losing.Todd Monken

How has Shedeur improved on his pre- and post-snap reads since training camp began?

Tremendously. He’s improving his operation, his pre-snap, post-snap, his eyes and his feet working in conjunction, being able to check the ball down and get it out of his hands. He’s such a playmaker.Todd Monken

Let’s start with Shedeur (Sanders) How has he been doing this entire camp, and how do you think he’s handling himself in this quarterback competition?

They’re working hard. All our guys are working hard. Shedeur is putting in the time — he’s studying, working physically, and that goes for all of our guys. It’s training camp, right? There’s nothing else in life besides football at this point, for players and coaches. He’s done a good job of taking care of the ball. He’s continued where he left off with the little things — technique, footwork, body position. He’s doing a good job.Mike Bajakian

Todd, when you watched film yesterday, did you come away feeling the quarterback competition is still even and that either guy could still run away with it?

Run-away is a stretch… Shedeur was great today… But even over the last week or so, Deshaun has played better, he's looked better, he's made better decisions.Todd Monken

You mentioned last week that once you get into preseason games, it adds the layer where the quarterbacks can get hit. What extra layer of evaluation does that give you when their live?

…they've got to learn to get the ball out, learn how to slide, not just run around. I do want playmaking ability, so there's a balance there between playmaking ability and taking some sacks… The other part is stacking plays where it matters, because they've got the scoreboard on.Todd Monken

Comparing Deshaun’s first week, when he had six interceptions in his first couple of practices, to the week he just wrapped up, what’s different?

Part of it is just getting used to the offense. We're now done installing… all of our quarterbacks have grown leaps and bounds in terms of getting through their progressions faster, knowing where their outlets and check-downs are.Travis Switzer

What does Shedeur need to show you this week? This seems like a pretty big week for him obviously with getting the start and everything. What are some things you’d really like to see from him this week?

He’s improved so much… in terms of climbing the pocket and working through his progressions. Even on the one he threw to 81 (Luke Floriea) in the slot, like he drifted too deep… He created some of his own pressure… how can he play cleaner?Todd Monken

The offensive coordinator, two days before Sanders started against Buffalo, on what the staff is actually weighing.

…the preseason games and joint practices are the most real you can really get, as far as an evaluation. Those are going to weigh pretty heavily, but it's going to be a collective body of work that we're looking at for every evaluation.Travis Switzer

What do you think of the quarterbacks? Deshaun (Watson) and Shedeur, overall, operationally?

Do I like to turn it over in the red zone? No. Do I like to miss an open touchdown? No… I'll have to watch the film.Todd Monken

What questions do you still need to have answered before you can make that quarterback decision?

I haven’t looked at the tape from today, and we haven’t played Saturday, so that’s all still part of it. Just like every day is.Todd Monken

Deshaun (Watson) went first and you split the reps pretty evenly. Do you feel like there’s a world in which one of those two guys was able to gain significant ground on a day like today?

Hard to say without watching it, because you’re living with the results, did we get the ball out, were our eyes in the right spot? Again, I made the mistake on the two-minute drill. Before I see it, I won’t comment, but I’ve been pleased with both of them, and I was pleased with both of them today. We’re not where we want to be, and we don’t have to be. We’ve got a couple more weeks.Todd Monken

The quarterbacks coach, on the standard he coaches to.

I always talk about those three things: take care of the football, complete the football, get rid of the football. … Number one, take care of the football. If you win the turnover battle, your chances of winning the game are through the roof.Mike Bajakian

On what he asks of a quarterback every snap.

I use the phrase often with our quarterbacks, know the intention of the play caller. … We're not calling that shot play in anticipation of the double high safety cloud look. You got to know when you're in your drop, and you got to find a completion.Mike Bajakian

radio availability, on Watson

In the one shot where I thought he could have done a little bit of a better job getting rid of the ball, wasn't what we called it for.Mike Bajakian

You said on the pregame show that you’d probably have a decision on the starting quarterback early next week. Do you still believe that’s the timeline for that decision?

At some point I'm going to have to decide, right? … We'll watch the tape tomorrow… I already know, looking at it and watching, we had too many issues with us… alignment, assignment and communication, Browns hurting Browns… We were really good at cadence in the first half, but at the end there, it's not good enough.Todd Monken

Do you need another week before you name a starting quarterback?

Again, I’ll wait until I see it tomorrow. Again, I’m just going to wait until then, until I get a chance to watch the tape and talk to the staff.Todd Monken

How do you feel Deshaun Watson played in his opportunities today?

You don't want to get booed? Let's play good football. Let's play good at quarterback, on offense and as a team.Todd Monken

You’ve talked about how the players on the field decide who starts and gets that position. Do you feel that, given how you’ve talked about both of them, that they have made this a tougher decision than you expected?

To me, I don't think this is tough. We look at the film.Todd Monken

The morning after, on what the decision rests on.

I think even with yesterday, we have to take in the full body of work.Todd Monken

I know that external noise is what it is and you guys have to move past that, but for you, is there a specific way that you can handle not letting that noise get too loud to impact or sway your decisions or impact the performance of, let’s

What I worry about is that we don’t play very well, then you got to pivot. But the point is how do we put the best players, the best system together, to allow their talent to shine?Todd Monken

Watching the film back yesterday with Shedeur’s (Sanders) half, what were some of your takeaways for how he did in those first two quarters?

I think his command of the offense has grown leaps and bounds. So, there was a lot to like when we had protection. I think he stood in there and made throws down the field.Todd Monken
