    Needing to get up to speed on the Cleveland Browns' new complex offense during the offseason, Colt McCoy sought advice from a West Coast master.

    Brett Favre was happy to help.

    As the league's labor lockout dragged on, McCoy went to Hattiesburg, Miss., and spent a few days with the three-time NFL MVP, who learned the West Coast system while playing for Browns president Mike Holmgren, then the coach in Green Bay.

    McCoy gleaned all he could from the-retired-at-the-moment Favre, who won a Super Bowl with Holmgren in 1996.

    "Since I couldn't get coached, it was a great opportunity to pick the brain of a guy who played in the system for 20 years," McCoy said through a team spokesman. "It was a chance for me to get a lot of questions answered. We worked on footwork, progressions, reads and things like that. It was definitely a positive trip."

    McCoy is expected to offer more on the Favre visit Tuesday.
