Deshaun Watson's QB Coach Explans When to Expect Watson to be Back to Himself
In this story:
Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson was a bit rusty in his debut with the team. It was pretty much as expected, but it also raised some eyebrows and cause a little bit of worry. No one knows his true skill set better than his quarterback coach Quincy Avery, he chimed in on how long it'll take Watson to be himself again.
"Give him three weeks," Avery said. "I think he’s going to get incrementally better. He can look at the tape and see what he did wrong last week against the Texans. He won’t do those things wrong again. And you need to get used to people running at you and trying to hit you. It’s way different than off-season training. Before the end of the regular season, Deshaun should be back to his normal level of play.
Against the Texans, Watson threw an end zone interception and finished 12-for-22 passing. It was about as bad as it could get for him, though he did show some flashes with his legs. It could be a bit before Watson returns to his 2020 status.
Next up is the Cincinnati Bengals, so the level of completion is going to increase. If Watson plays as he did against Houston, Cleveland will have no shot at this AFC North game. It will be interesting to see how long it takes Watson to return to his 2020 playing style.
