Secondly, I leave, and every single day you play 52 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 3: real music out into into segments, I mean, what is 53 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 3: is it?

But my goodness, 60 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: I need some freaking soul back in the I need 61 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 1: some loose booty. I need some earth wind and fire. 62 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: I need some curzy. I need some loose booty. 63 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 3: All right, what do we need to know here? 64 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 2: Oh just yeah, deep chart dep dive, just feeling. 65 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 3: Miles Garrett first overall pick in twenty seventeen, four sacks 66 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 3: this year, six time All Pro. That's cool, not the 67 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 3: Pro Bowl bit, the one that matters. All Pro. Four 68 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 3: time first team All Pro. Denzel Ward has four defensive 69 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 3: touchdowns in his career, two pick sixes, couple of fumble recoveries, 70 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 3: their nickel, their third corner. Miles Harden, second year South 71 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 3: Dakota go Crazy yoats his last interception August of twenty 72 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 3: twenty three in college at Missouri. Now Cleveland in playing. 73 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 3: Now this is a home game for Cleveland, but I 74 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 3: think when people listen to it on the Audio Leader 75 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 3: in KFAM a thirty am Sunday, it's going to be 76 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 3: a Vikings home game, they're going to be dramatically more 77 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 3: Vikings fans than Browns games. So technically this is I mean, 78 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 3: it's a game away from the dog Pound. Cleveland this year, 79 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 3: in two games away from the dog Pound have a 80 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 3: points differential of minus forty eight in their two at 81 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 3: the dog Pound at home their plus two with a victory. 82 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 3: So there's that when it comes to their defense, Mason 83 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 3: Graham has a half sack and he's like two and 84 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 3: a half tackles a game, so he doesn't play every play. 85 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 3: But I just for some reason, like when I asked 86 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 3: people about him, including O'Connell with x's and o's, what 87 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 3: was that two days ago? You know, like he didn't 88 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 3: go down the road deep on Mason Graham. I just, 89 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 3: you know, wonder how well Mason Graham is playing Malie Collins. 90 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 3: He's a Beefeater, unrestricted free agent from the Niners, only 91 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 3: a sack and a half. Tenth year from Nebraska. He 92 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 3: and Shelby Harris are problems now. Shelby's in his eleventh 93 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 3: year from Illinois State. And we remember a game when 94 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 3: the Broncos were in town where they were leading by 95 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 3: like three touchdowns at halftime. Then Rudy caught that one 96 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 3: from Chains and the place was as loud as you're 97 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 3: going to hear it. Well, Shelby Harrison that game for 98 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 3: the Broncos just absolutely mauled man. Now that's several years ago, 99 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 3: but he's still going very very strong. Jerome Baker eighth 100 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 3: hear from Ohio State, unrestricted from Tennessee. He has to 101 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 3: pick sixes. Aiden Huntington was undrafted from Tulane only a 102 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 3: half sack, but ninety eight plays a lot. Why because 103 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 3: he's one of those big, fast, strong bits that nobody's 104 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 3: heard of, and he plays a lot and he fits 105 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 3: the role that they want to do quite well. Carson Schwsinger, 106 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 3: the second round rookie from UCLA, plays every play. He's 107 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 3: part of their nickel linebacker group, very very fast. I 108 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 3: just think Peyton Wilson forty one for the Steelers from 109 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 3: last game. They kind of played the same way and 110 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 3: they play a lot of single high safety, So you're 111 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 3: going to see thirty three Ronnie Hickman as like the 112 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 3: angel on the shoulder bit above it all. I'm not 113 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 3: sure they're going to do that in this game. Maybe 114 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 3: they will because that's how they play and that's how 115 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 3: they play best. But in doing so, Delpit gets down 116 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 3: by the line. So nine Grant delpits down by the 117 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 3: line of scrimmage a ton and and he's in essence 118 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 3: and extra linebacker. He plays a lot like mattellis. Are 119 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 3: they going to really do that against Jefferson and Addison 120 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 3: and Naylor and Howkinson. We'll see, We'll see. It's a 121 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 3: pick your poison bit here. If they're going to single 122 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 3: eighteen and three, then if Jordan Addison has a one 123 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 3: hundred yard game or more, it would be the first 124 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 3: time in his career he's gone back to back with 125 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 3: one hundred yard games, and he's one hundred yards from 126 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 3: two thousand in his career. And Jordan at practice the 127 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 3: last I mean Jordan Addison from the Patriots joints, through 128 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 3: the Steelers game and the practice up to it, Through 129 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 3: the two practices I've seen, he's never looked better. He 130 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 3: looks so good and engaged right now. So that's that's 131 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 3: the Browns defense. Want anything on the offense. 132 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I guess as I'm looking at this, Cam 133 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: Robinson's gonna play, isn't he. I know Conklin on the 134 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: right side has been limited with that elbow a bit, 135 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: but they're really gonna, you know, ship this guy over 136 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: in a cargo container and flop him out on the 137 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: field at Tottenham. Cam Robinson's gonna play left tackle. 138 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 3: May yeah, I'll be surprised if he starts. Remember left 139 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 3: handed quarterback, So the right tackle is a bit okay, 140 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 3: the right tackle is the key here, Jack Conklin. I 141 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 3: didn't see practice report today, but I think they're going 142 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 3: to get him up for the game and Conklin's good, 143 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 3: so he would play right tackle. Cornelius Lucas would play 144 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 3: left tackle. Dylan Gabriel has played this year three or 145 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 3: four nineteen yards, touchdown, no picks. The touchdown he threw 146 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 3: was the fellow rookie Dylan Samson. A Samson is a 147 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 3: fourth round rookie from Tennessee backs up Judkins. And this 148 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 3: will be the starting debut for Gabriel. Five to eleven 149 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 3: South Paul from Honolulu, And you know, in the mop 150 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 3: up duty against Detroit and Baltimore, he didn't really play 151 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 3: that much, but they let him throw four times for 152 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 3: nineteen yards. He's never been sacked, never thrown in an interception. 153 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 3: He's yet to run the ball. And let me ask 154 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 3: you this. Don't you think he has one hundred and 155 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 3: fifty five passing touchdowns in college? Yea most in FBS history. 156 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 3: All right, I mean he played six years at Central Florida, 157 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 3: Oklahoma and Oregon. He also ran thirty three touchdowns in 158 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 3: during college. But I think there should be an asterisk 159 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 3: on this one fifty five because my man played six years. 160 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's still it boggles. 161 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: It's the I mean, it's so boring with the nil 162 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 1: bit and just you think going back to that COVID 163 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: year when even the Gophers they had guys that were 164 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: like on their seventh season because extra eligibility in all 165 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: of this and now your ability to transfer, and I mean, 166 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 1: they're just pulling rabbits out of hats with these extra 167 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: seasons these kids get. There should be an asterisk there 168 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: and maybe the Honolu Lulu native will get laid. 169 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 3: Out by this. Mike. 170 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was just so dumb, but looking forward to 171 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: seeing how sadly without Alex, I just pulled a bursat 172 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: here Andrew Van Ginkle Van Ginkell, do I have two 173 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: more minutes? You do have two more minutes? Anything else 174 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: on the cutting even floor. 175 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 3: Cool battle of the Kevins O'Connell and Stefanski. It is 176 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 3: O'Connell twenty twenty four Coach of the Year, Stefanski two 177 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,559 Speaker 3: time Coach of the Year. O'Connell was with Cleveland in 178 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 3: twenty fifteen as the quarterbacks coach. Johnny Manzel, though it 179 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 3: was his first coaching job. Mike Patton, who's also on 180 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 3: the Viking staff now, was the head coach of the Browns. 181 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 3: Then he gave Kevin his first opportunity. Stefanski spent fourteen 182 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 3: years with the Vikings offensive coordinator twenty eighteen or half 183 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,319 Speaker 3: of it, and twenty nineteen. From a Vikings defensive standpoint, 184 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 3: I think this is really cool. The Vikings have allowed 185 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 3: seven plays this year through four of twenty yards or more. 186 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 3: Just seven. That's tied for first with Blakemore's team, the 187 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 3: Green Bay Packers. Seven through four is a pretty good 188 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 3: number when you you get to third and six or longer. 189 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 3: Third and six are longer against flores defense. And Birah 190 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 3: Murphy and I are going to chat about this next segment. 191 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 3: The opponents are of two of twenty six, so two 192 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 3: first downs twenty four non first downs. That's tops in 193 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 3: the NFL. Pittsburgh went one for five when third or 194 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 3: six and longer. You think I've had a lot of 195 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 3: time on my hands. It's only Thursday. Are you freaking 196 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 3: kidding me? 197 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 2: Oh? 198 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: And that's what I love when I watch you starting 199 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: to put those things together on a weekly basis. 200 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 3: Man, those are delicious. 201 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: And that two of twenty six put the put that 202 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 1: kid back there on third and six or longer and 203 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: left Flora's feast last a little bit for you. Anything 204 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: impress you. I mean we know about in Ndjoku and 205 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: Harold fan in the way they use him. Anything cool 206 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: about Isaiah Bond or Jamari Thrash, like. 207 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 3: It just feels other than Judy. 208 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: I'm familiar with him, just you know, really on the 209 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 1: grind Stefanski is with with young playmakers and then maybe 210 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 1: some guys that they're they're trying just to muster anything 211 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: positive out of well. 212 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 3: Isaiah Bond, undrafted from Texas rookie. He got Joe Flacco benched, 213 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 3: all right. I mean it's either Flaco threw it to 214 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 3: a lion or Bond run the wrong route. I'm willing 215 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,439 Speaker 3: to roll the dice the Bond round the wrong route. 216 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 3: So nevertheless, he's number sixteen and he's never scored in 217 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 3: an NFL touchdown. Then you get Jerry Judy. He hasn't 218 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 3: run the ball in three years. He has zero touchdowns 219 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 3: this year. Jamari Thrash, second year from Louisville, fifth rounder 220 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty four, zero touchdowns.

And when you watch it back, because 249 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 3: I didn't see a replay at it, I mean, and 250 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 3: pardon the question, were you one hundred percent in one percent? 251 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, looking back at the time, I'm like, I feel 252 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 5: like I'm in. I just I think I'm in, And 253 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 5: then were looking back, yeah, hundred percent. 254 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 3: Well the reason I ask is because supposedly, you know, 255 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 3: they they have play clocks in both end zones, which 256 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 3: was a problem in this game, but they they review 257 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 3: all touchdowns and I thought that was super close, and 258 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,359 Speaker 3: they just went bang banging. I guess it wasn't that close. 259 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, and now they found a perfect angle, honestly, 260 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 5: and you can still see the ship of the yellow. 261 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 4: So it was reviewed and yeah, it was sure enough. 262 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 4: It was a touchdown. 263 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 3: So this Brown's defense AFC North don't get a chance 264 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 3: to watch them much. Miles, Garrett delp It, Denzel Ward, 265 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 3: you know, we know some of the names. So just 266 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 3: when I say Brown's defense, boom, what comes to mind? 267 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 4: Miles Garrett for sure. 268 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 5: I mean those guys they all play hard, they're they 269 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 5: have a good defense, and uh, you know we already 270 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 5: know they're gonna they're gonna bring their game and uh 271 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,079 Speaker 5: and we know we'll bring ours too. So when I 272 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 5: when I think about their defenses, is definitely that that 273 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 5: they're they're they're tough, they're they're coming to play football. 274 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 3: Have it now? Knowing that that you were a receiver 275 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,079 Speaker 3: before running back, I still just marvel when I look 276 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 3: at you because you're big and just receivers.

What's key about a role for 326 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 3: practice squad guys doing that? 327 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's fun. 328 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 5: Actually I last year for me, at least, I would 329 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 5: look at the guys that you know we're going against, 330 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 5: whether that be. 331 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 4: The Montgomery's, the. 332 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 5: James Connor like those different guys throughout the league, and 333 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 5: try to mimic their game to the best of my 334 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 5: ability that week for the defense to give them a 335 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 5: realistic looking from all the way to their stances, Like 336 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 5: some guys are a little higher in their stances, some 337 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 5: guys are super low. 338 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 4: In their stances. 339 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 5: Some guys are more speedback, some guys are more cutbacks, 340 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 5: some guys are just different types of game that each each. 341 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 3: Guy plays with. 342 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 5: So I tried to be intentional with that as a 343 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 5: practice squad guy left. 344 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 3: So so you'll watch them and try to emulate almost 345 00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 3: exactly what they do. 346 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the to the best of my ability, because 347 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 4: that's that's how you get the team ready. And I 348 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 4: feel I took part. 349 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 5: In, you know, the when we would win, when we 350 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 5: would lose, I would feel like I could have did 351 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 5: better being on practice squad. You know, I could have 352 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:10,959 Speaker 5: gave them a better look throughout the week to prepare 353 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 5: for that. And I think that's the mindset you have 354 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,880 Speaker 5: to go into it with, regardless of your role. 355 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 3: All right, Jay, So so like last year, so you 356 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,679 Speaker 3: got to emulate Jimi or Gabbs. Does that mean you 357 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 3: have to stand straight up? 358 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 4: Like we can find film they're all standing straight up? 359 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 5: You could, And then when I would have when they 360 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 5: would tell me I'm Montgomery, I would get in the 361 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 5: different stands one hundred percent. 362 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 4: We can go back and find film one hundred percent 363 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 4: did that? 364 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, last one. You and I last year and then 365 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 3: now more this year have become closer via our Christian faith? 366 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 3: Why why? Why is that so important to you? 367 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 5: And this last game was a huge testament to that. 368 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 5: If I'm being honest, the team took really good care 369 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 5: of us physical, with the physical aspect of things last week. 370 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 5: And there's some things I was I was dealing with 371 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:55,199 Speaker 5: going into the game, and uh, and I was just 372 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:56,880 Speaker 5: praying God. I was like, not by my not by 373 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 5: power or by power, by your spirit. 374 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 4: It's the only wealth able to do that. 375 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 5: Have this game, play this game, and man, and by 376 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 5: the grace of God, I was able to play and 377 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 5: play well and not have to when I was out 378 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 5: in the field, I wasn't feeling any of the things 379 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 5: I was feeling outside of the time. So that's little 380 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 5: things like that is why it means so much to me. 381 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 5: And I know that's the first time you've heard it, 382 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:17,679 Speaker 5: but that was that's. 383 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 4: A huge testimony. 384 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 6: Man. 385 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 5: I just I can't think God enough of my prayer 386 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 5: was that I'd have the chance to share that. 387 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, And it just further personifies that as the Gospel 388 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 3: would teach. Sure, we love God, but it's how much 389 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 3: He loves us more so than any way we can 390 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 3: think we can possibly love him. Right. 391 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 5: Yeah, and you see it day in day out. I 392 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 5: mean we see his mercies of new every morning the 393 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 5: sun rises. There's amazing people are all around us, like 394 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 5: regardless of our what, we what, we believe, it's beautiful hearts, 395 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 5: beautiful souls within every person. 396 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 4: And God did that for a reason. 397 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: That's running back Zay Scott with PA earlier this morning, 398 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 1: and and following his chat with the running back, he 399 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: caught up with cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. 400 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 3: So, So, have you ever picked off a left handed quarterback? 401 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 2: I believe so. 402 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 6: Wow, I believe I have, and obviously I gotta do 403 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 6: it again. But yeah, if I could take it back 404 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 6: to memories, I gotta really think about that. 405 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 3: Wow, I actually don't know all that. That's gonna be unbelievable. 406 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 4: I think lefty quarterback. 407 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 3: You helped me out. No, I can't, but because I 408 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 3: didn't look through all your interceptions to see if there 409 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 3: are any lefties, then we can go back to college 410 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:31,199 Speaker 3: and stuff like that. But does the ball It's a 411 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 3: weird question, man, with the left handed quarterback does does 412 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,199 Speaker 3: the ball come out different? Like do you got the 413 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:37,120 Speaker 3: spin and everything? 414 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 6: I think I want to say it's too much of 415 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 6: a difference, but obviously I feel like left handed quarterbacks 416 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 6: do have a little bit more like speed, I would say, 417 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 6: velocity on the ball. I'm obviously watching his film, Dylan, 418 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 6: He's definitely can make throws from you know, from the 419 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 6: from the boundary to the field outrouts and all that. 420 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 6: So he definitely has a strength. He has a big arm, 421 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 6: So I think left to just you know, have more 422 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 6: velocity on the ball. 423 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 3: So in what's known as a cop we had a 424 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 3: league when when you see Rogers bam bam bam, quick, 425 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 3: bam bam bam quick, do do do teams generally like 426 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 3: think they can pick up on something and try to 427 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 3: emulate that the next game. 428 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, I definitely feel like, you know, each team comes 429 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 6: with a different game plan against our defense. They always 430 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 6: come in with a different game plan. The obviously we 431 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 6: kind of see on film, but as we know, obviously 432 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,640 Speaker 6: playing a couple of games now, teams are definitely trying 433 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 6: to you know, quick game, get the ball out fast. 434 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 6: I think the time coach Hatt told us is like 435 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 6: one second or something like that. 436 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 3: So we know they're trying to get the ball out. 437 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 3: Obviously a rookie quarterback. 438 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 6: Coming in, they're probably trying to keep the game playing simple, 439 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 6: get the ball out quick and obviously you know pick 440 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 6: off what happened last. 441 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 3: Week now now rush and coverage meshing obviously is ten 442 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,199 Speaker 3: to ten important. But you guys, this year, third and 443 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 3: six and longer all right? As the defense, I think 444 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 3: two first downs against twenty four times not first downs? 445 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 3: What do you think the keys are to that third 446 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 3: and six are longer? You guys are number one in 447 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 3: the league. I just think those are the downs we 448 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 3: were locked in. Third downs is something we always you know, 449 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 3: we practice, we always all the dbs, you know, we 450 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 3: take that our hands and to go out there and 451 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 3: do what we have to do on third down and 452 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 3: good you know obviously to get offense to ball, but 453 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 3: third down something we just always lock in on for sure. 454 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 3: So with with Dylan Gabriel, when you only have a 455 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,719 Speaker 3: handful of snaps to look at, you know, I know, 456 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 3: like talking to coaches, they'll say, scheme first, player second. 457 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 3: I get that, but how do you handle that when 458 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 3: somebody is barely played. 459 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 6: I think obviously trying to get the ball and you know, 460 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 6: his playmaker's hands. Obviously they got guys on the outside, Judy. 461 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 3: Those guys good good running. 462 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 6: Back, other receivers as well, So I just feel like 463 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 6: it's obviously that's the scheme. 464 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 3: Obviously you got to go with the scheme. 465 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 6: But it's obviously getting your best players at all, and 466 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 6: obviously as a rookie quarterback, you're trying to you know, 467 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 6: I'm not saying force anything to your best player, but 468 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 6: you're gonna definitely give them more targets than usual. 469 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 3: All Right, so we're four into it. How do you 470 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 3: think your season's going so far? Great? 471 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 6: Obviously we got some you know stuff that you know, 472 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 6: make up. We're not where we want to be as 473 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 6: a defense, as a team, but obviously you got to 474 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 6: take a game by game and this week we're just 475 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 6: focused on being one another and going from there. 476 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,120 Speaker 3: Bier Murphy's our guest couple of quickis to close here Judkins, 477 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 3: they're running back again, not much experience, but it looks 478 00:21:58,640 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 3: like he has a chance to be decent. 479 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 6: Definitely, I watched a fielm great running back, runs runs hard, 480 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 6: so you gotta definitely go out there and tackle him, 481 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 6: make sure we stop that yards as well, stop the 482 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,360 Speaker 6: run and get everything else going. 483 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 3: And then you being a bona fide team leader, you know, 484 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 3: and human nature gets to win, okay, if you let 485 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 3: it win.

It's the first time 556 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 3: for anybody, so start there, But like, what are some 557 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 3: unique challenges compared to a road trip where you land 558 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 3: in Appleton? 559 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,959 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean starting with Dublin. The number one thing is, 560 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 7: you know, any sports teams or programs that they have 561 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 7: come through there, they are not coming through at the 562 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 7: size and you know the numbers that we had, you know, 563 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,679 Speaker 7: pushing two hundred people m over there. They're used to 564 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 7: you know, their soccer groups and things like that that 565 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 7: are forty fIF sixty people. 566 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 3: So you know, just to. 567 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 7: Sheer numbers was number one. And then just you know, 568 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 7: we have a different program. You know, the meetings that 569 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 7: we have, the meals and the size of the menus, 570 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 7: and you know the ins and outs of traveling to 571 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 7: practice and you know, to walk throughout the stadium and 572 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 7: things like that they just don't see with some of 573 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,920 Speaker 7: the other groups. And then you know, kind of the 574 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 7: biggest thing that was on my mind for you know, 575 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 7: basically since day one, was the transition from Dublin to London. 576 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,719 Speaker 7: You know, not only flying our people here, but you know, 577 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 7: we've got suitcases full of eleven days where the clothes 578 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 7: and thirty seven thousand pounds of equipment that was needed 579 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 7: for you know, all the practices and the games and 580 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 7: things like that. So you know, to make it here 581 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,959 Speaker 7: Monday evening and to be thirty minutes ahead of schedule, yeah, 582 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 7: I couldn't been happy. 583 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 3: Well, I'm just laughing because I mean, whether it's texting 584 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,120 Speaker 3: talking to you, it's to see you relaxed is fantastic 585 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 3: because I you know, I don't know exactly what goes 586 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 3: into this, but I know that that has been a 587 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 3: lot for not only weeks, but months up to it. 588 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 3: And the double im portion of the equation went perfectly. 589 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 3: So I mean, you know, to get in there, have 590 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 3: things go well. Sadly, the team didn't win, but then 591 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 3: to get to London, like you said, I mean that 592 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 3: ain't easy, but it seemed to go well. Now I 593 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 3: mentioned the name Chuck Peterson, Senior manager of team Operations. 594 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 3: See between you, Chad and Milan. I think Chuck has 595 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 3: an enviable role. And here's why, because he gets to 596 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 3: be out of practice and like catch passes and throw 597 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 3: passes and snap and do a bunch and like play 598 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,639 Speaker 3: catch and so like like why does he get to 599 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 3: do that? You think Milan can run routes. 600 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 7: Yeah, she's up there too. Honestly, I kind of mentioned 601 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 7: it earlier.
