From Browns' official on Moore:
“We want him to be at places other than the traditional wide receiver role, running routes out of the backfield, getting traditional handoffs in their outside zone scheme, places to use his speed and playmaking ability.”
Moore on his role:
“I like whatever we need to win and however I can contribute… I do like being used in multiple ways. I feel like I do have different tools in my toolbox that can help, not just as a receiver.”
On if he will get reps at running back:
“I can’t tell you that, you will see in the game… I feel like the game plan this week has been nothing short of great. We are confident in it, it should click this week, and whatever they are all saying about us … that should go away.”
More on QB Deshaun Watson:
“We just have to do our jobs, and I try to at the highest level and make it easier on him… It’s all about communication. There is always something that we could have done better. There are plays in the game that you may think is his fault, but there is so much I could have done to make it easier for him. If it’s a block, a route, shaving down a route, whatever the example is. But we are confident in him.”
