51
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: It's a special newcomer highlight edition of Cleveland Brown's Daily,

52
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 2: brought to you by bally Bet. And one of the

53
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 2: biggest off season acquisitions is not somebody who will wear

54
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 2: a Browns uniform. No, it is somebody who will be

55
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: coaching the Browns defense. That's new Brown's defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz,

56
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 2: former head coach defensive coordinator for Super Bowl champion Eagles.

57
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 2: He is a guy who's been in the league forever.

58
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: In fact, started his career in nineteen ninety four right

59
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: here with the Cleveland Browns as a part of that

60
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: front office and as he called it, a slappy and

61
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 2: now look at him returning as the defensive coordinator of

62
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: the Cleveland Browns. He's an incredible talker, he's an incredible motivator.

63
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: He believes in bad assery, as we heard from Greg

64
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 2: Newsom last week down there. So this is a guy

65
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 2: who I think could be transformational for the culture and

66
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 2: for the defense of the Cleveland Browns. And I really

67
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: enjoyed getting a chance to talk with him. We're going

68
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 2: way back. This is part one of my interview with

69
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: Jim Schwartz from when he was announced as the Browns

70
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator. Coach. Welcome to the studio, Welcome back to Cleveland.

71
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 2: Great to talk with you today.

72
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks for having me, and that's great to be

73
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 4: back in northeast Ohio. I've sort of taken a little

74
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 4: trip around the Great Lakes, you know, Cleveland to Detroit

75
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 4: to Buffalo, so we go in full circle.

76
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 2: You have and you, you know, crush your opening press conference.

77
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: People talk about winning the press conference. Fans are always

78
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 2: very pleased, and one of the reasons is that connection

79
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: you have to this city and what you had said

80
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: about it.

81
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 4: Now that you've been let's try not to let that

82
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 4: be my legacy. Not going to be your legacy. No, No,

83
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 4: let's try it. Let's try to win some games. Let's

84
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 4: play some good defense and not worry about press conferences

85
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 4: as much. I like that.

86
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 2: How have How is it like? Is it surreal for

87
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 2: you now to be that you've had a few weeks

88
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: back to be back in Cleveland where it all started

89
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: for you? You know, in the press conference, you're probably

90
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 2: going through everything. But now that you've actually been here

91
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 2: and you're working back in Cleveland, is it is it

92
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 2: kind of surreal?

93
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 5: Yeah?

94
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 4: A little bit. You know, you fall back into the

95
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 4: same the same routines. The buildings changed a lot, but

96
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 4: there's still a lot of ghosts here that you know

97
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 4: that have been walking here for the last you know,

98
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 4: thirty years, And you know, just getting used to the

99
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 4: trains again, getting used to the you know, to the

100
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 4: cloudy and rain, and and I'll tell you one thing,

101
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 4: it does it. It makes you appreciate the sun when

102
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 4: it does come out, you know. And so yeah, falling

103
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 4: back in, I mean I haven't really gone past the

104
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 4: airport and the office. You know, been trying to catch

105
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 4: up on a lot of things and you know, get ourselves,

106
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 4: get ourselves in position, not just capturing up on you know,

107
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 4: watching last year and you know what was asking the

108
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 4: players and how they did it, and try to incorporate

109
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 4: new things and you know, incorporating a staff, but also

110
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 4: trying to get ready for free agency in the draft.

111
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 4: I mean, there's a lot of hats to wear this

112
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 4: time of year, and you know that clock's ticking. So

113
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 4: you know, my scope has been limited to, like I said,

114
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 4: the facility in the airport. And that's about it.

115
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 2: So walk us through a day in the life of

116
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 2: Jim Schwartz. As you mentioned, imagine there's some evaluating the

117
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 2: current roster, evaluating people that you'd like to bring in,

118
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 2: whether it be free agents or in the draft. What's

119
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 2: what's kind of the day like for you right now?

120
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,559
Speaker 4: Well, I mean it's really not people that I would

121
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 4: like to bring in. It's players that Andrew Kevin would

122
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 4: like to bring in. And my perspective is how they

123
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 4: would fit in what they're going to be asked to do.

124
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 4: You know, it's it's not it's not my job to

125
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 4: you know, to decide who's coming. It's more of my

126
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 4: job to give them perspective on how they're going to

127
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 4: be used and what would be asked of them and

128
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 4: and how valuable they would be in the defense. So

129
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 4: you know, yeah, we sort of split our day. You know,

130
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 4: we spend about half the day working on schemes and

131
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 4: and really at this point in the process, it's more

132
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 4: you know, watching you know, watching last year's games and

133
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 4: letting the current coaches talk and so I can I

134
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 4: can get a feel for them as coaches, but also

135
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 4: I can get a feel for what was asked the

136
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 4: players and you know, how they how they did it,

137
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 4: and terminology that was used, and you know, some things

138
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 4: peauk your interests and it's like, hey, that's an interesting

139
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 4: way to do something. Man, I want to hold on

140
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 4: to that. And there's other things like, man, I think

141
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 4: there's a better way to do this, you know, And

142
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 4: then we spent some times looking at you know, Philadelphia

143
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 4: or Buffalo or Detroit. I mean, we've gone Tennessee, we've

144
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 4: gone you know a lot of different places with saying, hey,

145
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 4: look we we ran this this way, here's an example

146
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 4: of it. I think this can be helpful for us,

147
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 4: and this can help this certain player. And then we've

148
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 4: even started looking at other teams around the league and

149
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 4: things that they do well, and everybody does the same

150
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 4: thing this time of year. It's you know, hey, let's

151
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 4: see what makes this team tick and you know, let's

152
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 4: see how they how they handled this situation or they

153
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 4: used to employeed this personnel group or this scheme, and

154
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 4: how we can make that our own. So that's pretty

155
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 4: much half today. And then the other half is you know,

156
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 4: is built into trying to you know, provide some perspective

157
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 4: and some evaluation on free agents and you know the

158
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 4: combines coming up soon, trying to get you know, trying

159
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 4: to get our feet under us there and you know,

160
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 4: all along with you know, house hunting and you know,

161
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 4: trying to trying to get a little exercise and trying

162
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 4: to find something to eat every once in a while while.

163
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 4: So that's that's pretty much a day for me.

164
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 2: It sounds like a very full day. And you mentioned,

165
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 2: you know, the other stops you've been in Tennessee. You've

166
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 2: been with the Detroit Lions of Buffalo Bills the Eagles

167
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 2: head coach obviously in Detroit. But one thing I noticed

168
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,119
Speaker 2: everywhere you've been, you've sent defensive tackles to the Pro Bowl.

169
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 2: With Hainesworth with Tennessee a first round pick fifteenth overall,

170
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: and Dominicansu you drafted in Detroit with your team their

171
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 2: first round pick, second overall. He's still playing, by the way,

172
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 2: with Philadelphia, Marcel Darius who was a third overall pick

173
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 2: in Buffalo, and then Fletcher Cox, who's still playing in

174
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl Philly, also a first round pick.

175
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 4: Mention Kyle Williams, and there Kyle Williams Buffalo as well,

176
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 4: one of the best players I've been around. You know,

177
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 4: our scheme is very friendly for defensive linemen.

178
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 2: Okay, and why is that.

179
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 4: Well, we're not gonna we're not gonna slow him down

180
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 4: with a bunch of with a bunch of stuff. We're

181
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 4: gonna ask him to go create some havoc and to go.

182
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 4: You know, I'll watch my language here. We're gonna ask

183
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 4: him to go mess some stuff up, yep. And that's

184
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 4: their job. Their job is to mess stuff up. It's

185
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 4: the linebacker's job to go clean that mess up. And

186
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 4: you know, we're we're sort of attack on waves. You know,

187
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 4: those guys as long as they're getting penetration and creating disruption,

188
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 4: the guys off behind them can play. And it's a

189
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 4: lot like covering kickoffs, where you have your disrupts and

190
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 4: your penetrators and then your second level guys that fall

191
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 4: in behind. But we put a lot of emphasis on

192
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 4: allowing those guys freedom to to to win on their

193
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 4: side of the block. We allow them a lot of

194
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 4: freedom to rush the passer, particularly on early downs. There's

195
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 4: different ways that we have to cover that behind. But

196
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 4: you know, this league is about putting pressure on the passer.

197
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 4: It's about creating lost yardage plays, and you know, and

198
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 4: winning on third down. And if you want to win

199
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 4: on third down, create some lost yardage plays on first

200
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 4: and second down. I don't know if it was my

201
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 4: last year in Philly, one of those years we led

202
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 4: the NFL and in tackles for losses and first and

203
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 4: second down sacks, and you know that that'll set you

204
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 4: up for third down. Plus there's there's a high incident

205
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 4: of turnover when you're hitting the quarterback and things like that.

206
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 4: We've got some good guys that do it here, and

207
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 4: I think we can help them out by by lessening

208
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 4: their load, limiting their scope a little bit more, let

209
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 4: them be disruptive, and I think we'll see the results

210
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 4: we we have. There's there's probably gonna be a line

211
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 4: of defensive tackles with the resumes in hand, hanging out here.

212
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 2: In Berea trying to come and play for you.

213
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, and again, I mean, it's it's it

214
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 4: hasn't been. It hasn't just been good fortune that we've

215
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 4: had those kind of players. You know, We've we've run

216
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 4: a scheme that's friendly to those guys, allows them to

217
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 4: make plays. Some people have schemes where it's the defensive

218
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 4: lines job to you know, play at the line of

219
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 4: scrimmage and to keep the linebackers free so that they

220
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 4: can make plays. We sort of take the opposite approach

221
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 4: and and take the handcuffs off those guys. We'll get

222
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 4: those guys playing without a seat belt, and you know,

223
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 4: and and and you know, sort of sort of playing

224
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 4: on the edge, and that's where we want them.

225
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 2: How important is it to what you want to do

226
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 2: to have somebody. We talked about. Those guys all picked

227
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 2: in the top half of the first round. You also

228
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 2: mentioned Kyle Williams was from now when in twenty fourteen.

229
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 2: I remember when we went into Buffalo and Jerry Hughes

230
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 2: had to think a fumble recovery for a touchdown. You guys, yeah,

231
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 2: knock John football.

232
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 4: On his Yeah, he was playing dead. He was playing

233
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 4: dead on the yeah.

234
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 6: Yeah.

235
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 4: Yeah. He came in and he drove down the field

236
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 4: and then I was like, you know, the game was

237
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 4: sort of out a hand at that point. I was like, Okay, I'm.

238
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 2: No more of this. Yeah, and he certainly did put

239
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 2: him on his back. But how important is it? You know,

240
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 2: we don't have a first round defensive tackle in terms

241
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 2: of pure talent on this roster right now. How important

242
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 2: to what you want to do? Is it to you know,

243
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 2: get with Andrew Barry and you guys work together in

244
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 2: Philly and say, no, this is something that's critical to

245
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 2: what I do because it allows me to free up

246
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 2: Miles and the guys on the outside.

247
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 4: And I mean, you know, I mean, obviously you have

248
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 4: a player like Miles, but some of the best play

249
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 4: players that have played for us in the past haven't

250
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 4: been first round draft picks, you know, and and you know,

251
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 4: so I don't think it has to be it has

252
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 4: to be, you know that. Yeah, you know, I've had

253
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 4: guys that have been seconds and thirds and force and

254
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 4: you know, even undrafted free agents that have been very productive,

255
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 4: you know, in this and there's there's certain skill sets

256
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 4: that we look for and and you know, different a

257
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 4: little bit of play style that maybe other people might

258
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 4: not appreciate as much. They might use the person a

259
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 4: little bit different. And you know, I think that you know,

260
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 4: sort of involved in that scheme is we can get guys,

261
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 4: we can get guys going pretty quickly and you know,

262
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 4: and get them successful on the field. So players come

263
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 4: from a lot of different areas, and first round draft

264
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 4: picks get a lot of attention obviously because you know,

265
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 4: they're the they're the attention grabbers. But you know, the

266
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 4: meat and potatoes of this league are not first rounders.

267
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 4: And and our ability is co coaches is is or

268
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 4: our hallmark as coaches is not going to be coaching

269
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 4: the first rounders. I mean, you want to do that,

270
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 4: you want those guys to do well, but our hallmark

271
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 4: as coaches is going to be finding productive players later

272
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 4: on down the line. So I look forward to working

273
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 4: with those guys and you know, sort of talking with

274
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 4: our scouts and explain in how we're going to use

275
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 4: guys and maybe guys that in the past might have

276
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 4: been overlooked because they couldn't do a certain thing, but

277
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 4: you know, they might fit our play style. And you know,

278
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 4: I think that we all work together, we can find

279
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 4: some productive players, regardless of first round or high price,

280
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 4: free agent or anything else.

281
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 2: So when people talk about, you know, Jim Schwartz defenci

282
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 2: here a lot of wide nine for our listeners, what

283
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 2: does that mean?

284
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I haven't called it the wide nine for years.

285
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 4: You know, we were we were when I was in

286
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 4: Tennessee with Jim Washburn, who I think is one of

287
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 4: the best damline coaches in the history of the National

288
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 4: Football League. We sort of we came into the playing

289
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 4: the nine technique more as an adjustment based on who

290
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 4: we were playing. We're playing the Colts every year and

291
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 4: playing Houston, and they're running wide zone and Peyton was

292
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 4: running all those play actions, and and you know, we

293
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 4: it's sort of fit for us. We had Haynesworth inside

294
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 4: and we wanted to funnel the ball back to him.

295
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 4: You know, our names have changed over the years. I

296
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 4: like to call it an attack defense. We're not a

297
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 4: read team up front. We're an attack team. We're going

298
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 4: to be disruptive. We're hitting spots. It's probably not as

299
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 4: wide as it used to be, but it's it's pretty

300
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 4: pretty simple in theory, and it allows the players to,

301
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 4: you know, play fast and puts them in the best

302
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 4: position to rush the quarterback and sort of play the

303
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 4: run in between. We've also been very good run teams

304
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 4: over the years.

305
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 2: Great you know.

306
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 4: From a from a from a front that I think

307
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 4: if a you know, a casual observer would look, they're saying,

308
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 4: you know, hey, this front is built to brush the

309
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 4: passer and check. Yes, it is, but also the disruption

310
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 4: it creates and the way we play the linebackers in

311
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 4: the second W level players can make it very disruptive

312
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 4: for the run game, and it takes certain run games away.

313
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 4: We're generally pretty good at matching up against some runs games.

314
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 2: Man, he could just pull out and listen to that

315
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,160

327
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 2: Here's new Brown's defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz. So you went

328
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 2: to Philly. You turn it around quickly there, the defense

329
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 2: win a Super Bowl in your second year there. What's

330
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 2: kind of the key to coming into a place and

331
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 2: getting it turned around like that? Is it a collaboration

332
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 2: with the general managers he talked about in that case,

333
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 2: would been how he roseman trying to figure out this

334
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 2: is you know, these are the traits I'm looking for,

335
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 2: This is the style I want to play. Getting that

336
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 2: together and then coaching those guys up and letting them,

337
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 2: as you said, be disruptive.

338
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean communication is the key, you know, And

339
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 4: I had a really good relationship with how and he's

340
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 4: an outstanding GM and he valued defensive lineman the same

341
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 4: way that I did, not just when I was there,

342
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 4: but even before. Sure, you know, he always he had

343
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 4: his envision. I probably one of the reasons I got

344
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 4: hired there was the way he was building the defense

345
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 4: really fit into sort of my style and how the

346
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 4: players were going to be used. And he knew if

347
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 4: he spent money he slashed drafted players that it would

348
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 4: be wouldn't be waste of money, you know, I think

349
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 4: probably the biggest thing that you know, we're just going

350
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 4: to find ways to streamline communication. We're going to find

351
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 4: things that fit our personnel the best, and what we

352
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 4: might try to get too long term might not be

353
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 4: exactly what we do short term. You know, we have

354
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 4: the players that we have, and you can't change everybody

355
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 4: in a year, So you got to find a way

356
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 4: for those guys to be successful and do what they

357
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 4: do well. And you know, I've had plenty of seasons

358
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 4: that you know, we started off one way and then

359
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 4: we get loaded with injuries, and then you finish another

360
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 4: way and the way you played at the end of

361
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 4: the season might not even resemble some of the schemes

362
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 4: you were using early in the year. But you had

363
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 4: to match it to your personnel. You had to plug

364
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 4: up holes, you had to handle injuries. That's one of

365
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 4: the things that experience has really helped. I had some

366
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 4: failures early in my career doing that. You know, I

367
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 4: forgot about the strengths of the team. I spend too

368
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 4: much of my time worrying about the weakness. And you know,

369
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 4: later in my career I benefited from that. You know,

370
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 4: we all benefit from making mistakes earlier in our careers.

371
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 4: And you know, I look at it, you know, some

372
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 4: of the successes we've had later with understanding. You know, yeah,

373
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 4: we have weaknesses, but yeah, let's accentuate our positives. You know,

374
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 4: let's let's let's make opponents worry about those things as

375
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 4: opposed to spending all our times trying to, you know,

376
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 4: trying to you know, cover things up. You know, but

377
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 4: you know, I mean, I've heard a lot of different

378
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 4: people say that that good teams get better over the

379
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 4: course of the season. You know, You've heard some of

380
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 4: the greatest coaches in the NFL say that and I

381
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 4: get what they're saying, I don't necessarily agree. I would

382
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 4: say the good teams find out who they are and

383
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 4: and and they build towards that. You know, and it's

384
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 4: a little bit of a funnel early in here. You

385
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 4: really don't know your cast of carriage. Even if you

386
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 4: have the exact same guys back, it's probably going to

387
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 4: be a little bit different than the year before. Your

388
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 4: dynamics a little bit different, your leadership's a little bit

389
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 4: different one. Some guys are one year more mature and better.

390
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 4: Some guys are one year older and maybe less effective. So,

391
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 4: you know, the whole thing is figuring out who you are,

392
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 4: what your personality is going to be, what's going to fit,

393
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 4: what's going to fit you the best, and then you

394
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 4: get good at those things. And sometimes the best coaching

395
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 4: you can do is just get out of the way,

396
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 4: you know, give them a good framework, something that fits them,

397
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 4: you know, make sure your communication is good, make sure

398
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 4: your rules are good, streamline your communication, simplify things as

399
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 4: much as you can. And then and then you know,

400
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 4: you know, let let the dogs eat. And you know,

401
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 4: I think that that's that's another part of maturing as

402
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 4: a coach is you can sort of you don't feel

403
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 4: like you need to inject yourself into it. You know,

404
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 4: let your players shine, let your do what your players

405
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 4: do the best. And like I said, sometimes the best

406
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 4: coaching is just you know, getting out of the way,

407
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 4: give them a good framework and and and let those

408
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 4: guys run. There's other times where you have to you

409
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 4: have to create some stuff. Maybe your challenge because of injuries,

410
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 4: maybe you're challenge talent wise, and you know, maybe maybe

411
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 4: you need to do a little bit more. You know, well,

412
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 4: I'll quote Bill Parcells. Bill Parcells famously said, if you

413
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 4: don't have many tendencies, you're probably not very good, right.

414
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 4: And some of the best defenses I've had, some of

415
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 4: the best defenses in the National Football League, some of

416
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 4: the best offenses in the history of the National Football

417
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 4: League did what they did and did it well and

418
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 4: it fit their guys and they had good players in

419
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 4: position and you know, and they and they were successful

420
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 4: as a result.

421
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 2: This is what we're gonna do. Try to stop it, right.

422
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a little there's a little bit of that.

423
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 4: And when you and when you when you have when

424
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 4: you have players like you mentioned, you know, you know,

425
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 4: when you have you know, good guys up front or

426
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 4: guys that can cover. I'm really excited about our corners. Yeah,

427
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 4: you know, and I've had probably you know, I've had

428
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 4: varying degrees of corners. When I was in Buffalo for

429
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 4: a year, we had we had we were strong up front.

430
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 4: Jerry Hughes, Marcel Darius, Kyle Williams, Mario Williams, we had

431
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 4: a lot of and yeah, we were we were good

432
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 4: and just about every area, you know, we were. We

433
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 4: were really good defense. Maybe one of the best I've had,

434
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 4: But a little bit under under recognized was how strong

435
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 4: our corners were with Steph Gilmore and Wotis mcelvin and

436
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 4: Corey Graham and to Kel Robi Aaron Williams at the safety.

437
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, those guys could cover and you

438
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 4: didn't need to protect him very much. And he also

439
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 4: had a great attitude of like, I got that guy

440
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 4: and you know, get out of my way clear to

441
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 4: dance floor for me, I'll get that guy covered. You know,

442
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 4: cover is is a lot of swag and a lot

443
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 4: of confidence, and you got to back that up. But

444
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 4: those guys did, and that freed us up to do

445
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 4: so much more stuff up front. And like I said,

446
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 4: I'm I'm really excited to work with the young corners

447
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 4: they have here. You know, I think I think that

448
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 4: can put us in a good position. That can you know,

449
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 4: that can sort of synergize with what we do up front.

450
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 4: You know, maybe there's times we can bring more guys

451
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 4: in protection because we can single guys up in the

452
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 4: back end. You know, there's there's times we can be

453
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 4: aggressive and you know, that'll help guys like Miles out.

454
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 4: They'll take chips off of them, that'll take center slides

455
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 4: away from him and give him some more one on

456
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 4: one opportunities. And you know, when it's all said and done,

457
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,400
Speaker 4: I've said this with a lot of you know, great

458
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 4: players in the past, but I'll have a I have

459
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 4: a little spot on my wall in my office that says,

460
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 4: you know, anything that gets Miles Garrett one on one

461
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 4: is good is a good scheme? Yeah, And you know,

462
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 4: and then you just let him let him play, you know.

463
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 4: But we don't need to try to necessarily scheme guys

464
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 4: to get open. I mean, if you do, maybe they do,

465
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 4: maybe they don't. You're sort of counting on the offensive

466
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 4: screw up or you're bringing more than they can possibly go,

467
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 4: which has its own pitfalls, but you know, we can

468
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 4: get our best players one on one and create matchups

469
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 4: for those guys, we'll be in a pretty good place,

470
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 4: particularly with guys like Miles.

471
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 2: What makes Miles so special and why he's so excited

472
00:22:58,320 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 2: to coach.

473
00:22:58,600 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 7: Him, Yeah, he's a freak show.

474
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 4: You know, there's not many guys that have walked this

475
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 4: planet that have his size and his athletic ability. I mean,

476
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 4: you know, just when you watch him, you know, I know,

477
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 4: he suffered with some injury in the the middle of

478
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 4: the year last year, and some of those games you know,

479
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 4: didn't look like the ninety five that you see earlier

480
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 4: late or you're used to seeing. But he got it

481
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 4: back at the end of the year and you know,

482
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 4: just incredible balance, incredible bend explosiveness, plays hard, productive, great

483
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 4: eyes for the quarterback. You know, it's it's it's really exciting.

484
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 4: And I've had I've had some good ones, and you know,

485
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 4: I think he's got a chance to be, you know,

486
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 4: at the top of that list, and maybe at the

487
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 4: top of the list, you know, in this league and

488
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 4: then maybe even in the history of this league. He's

489
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 4: got that kind of talent he's got that kind of

490
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 4: personality and you know, sort of our job as coaches

491
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 4: to find ways to free him up one on one,

492
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 4: you know, and and build around that kind of player.

493
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 6: Yeah.

494
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,360
Speaker 2: Well, one of the edges that you coached a prominence,

495
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 2: Brandon Graham called you a wizard at the Super Bowl

496
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 2: when he was asked about the Browns getting you as

497
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 2: a defensive coordinator. And I'd be remiss if I didn't

498
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 2: note that you line him up over a guard on

499
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,360
Speaker 2: the play that led to the strip sack that led

500
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl victory for your Eagles. So obviously

501
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 2: something they're moving.

502
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, we moved. BG was tough because he's he's sort

503
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 4: of short and squatty and really powerful, and sometimes he

504
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 4: was a hard handle for, you know, some of the

505
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 4: offensive tackles just because of his natural leverage. You know,

506
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 4: I go back with Brandon a long way. I coach

507
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 4: him in his senior Bowl and saw first hand, and

508
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 4: then obviously it got to Philly after he had been

509
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 4: in the league, but you know, he had never really

510
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 4: hit his stride yet, and you know, it just it's

511
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 4: a pleasure to coach guys like Brandon and made a

512
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 4: lot of big plays for us, you know, over over

513
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 4: our time there, and I'm excited for him in the

514
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 4: Super Bowl. Yeah. You know, you talk about a team you.

515
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 2: Can rush the quarterback man seventy SA.

516
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, Holy mackrel. You know, they're they're they're

517
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 4: still getting it done. And you know, guys like Fletcher

518
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 4: still getting done. Gravedigger Hardgrave is at an outstanding year.

519
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 4: Reddick was Holy mackerel. And it's really it's really impressive

520
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 4: to watch, and that really sets the tone. I say

521
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 4: say that all the great teams that I've been around,

522
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 4: and a lot of the great teams I've observed in history.

523
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 4: The engine that drives there, I don't know what to

524
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 4: call it. They're there. The tempo is created by the

525
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 4: defensive lineup front. And when you can have three hundred

526
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 4: pound guys running wide open, like I said, playing without

527
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 4: a seatbelt and hustling to the ball, it just sets

528
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 4: such a great tempo for the rest of your for

529
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 4: the rest of your guys, and for your team, you know,

530
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 4: And that's what we'll aspire to here. And you know

531
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 4: BG had a lot to do with that, But he

532
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 4: called me it wasn't probably because I'd just get out

533
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 4: of his way and let him go and give him

534
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 4: a good framework and go. You know, wasn't you know,

535
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 4: I mean that that play that wasn't anything other than

536
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 4: getting the matchup. And you know, Brandon Graham one on

537
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 4: one against that guard was a good matchup for us.

538
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 4: And you know, we didn't we didn't play great that game,

539
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,479
Speaker 4: but we made the play that we had to and

540
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 4: and Brandon helped do that. I would be remiss if

541
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 4: I didn't say Malcolm Jenkins on that play took Brady's

542
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 4: first look away Brady. Brady was trying to hit Gronk,

543
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 4: Jenks saw it sunk into it, and then Brady had

544
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 4: the the reload that thing to go to the flat,

545
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 4: and that gave Brandon the time. So, you know, not

546
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 4: every player we talked about Miles, you know, talk about

547
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 4: any of these guys talk about our corners. But when

548
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 4: you're truly operating efficiently on defense and your your guys

549
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 4: compliment each other, you know, and and your corners are

550
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 4: able to cover better because the pass rushes clock in

551
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 4: the quarterback or your your corners are covering long enough,

552
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 4: which is buying time for those guys to go in

553
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 4: and make those plays. But there's unsung heroes. On every play,

554
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 4: there's no player that stands alone.

555
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 2: Ultimate team game. We'll get you out of here real

556
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 2: quick on this. Two quick ones. Joe Thomas, first ballot

557
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame. When you're a defensive coordinator and you

558
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,719
Speaker 2: went against the Browns many times, when you've got a

559
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 2: tackle like that, does that actually affect a defensive coordinator?

560
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 4: Oh? Sure?

561
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 2: What made him so good in your mind?

562
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 3: Yeah?

563
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 4: You know, I mean he was one of those guys

564
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 4: I just thought had like, like such low blood pressure.

565
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 4: And I mean that in a in a in a

566
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 4: really complimentary way. It was John Wooden had a quote

567
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 4: like like be quick, but don't be in a hurry.

568
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 2: Or slow as fast he says that Joe Thomas, Wow, okay, Yeah,

569
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 2: but and you could see that in his play.

570
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 4: He was never frazzled. He had outstanding technique. I mean,

571
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 4: he's a talented guy, but he had outstanding technique. You

572
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 4: could never you could never seem to rattle him over

573
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 4: the course of the game and or over the course

574
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 4: of a season. And well, you know that's I think

575
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 4: in a nutshell that that was is he never he

576
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,719
Speaker 4: never got outside his technique. He was patient, He had

577
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 4: a lot of confidence, and you know, you know he's

578
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 4: going to he's going to have a He's going to

579
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 4: have a gold jacket.

580
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 3: No doubt.

581
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 2: I want to leave you with this. I always like

582
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 2: to ask, you know something, give the fans a way

583
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 2: to understand you the human a little bit. And so

584
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 2: I'm going to go back at a little research here

585
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 2: in your high school year. But quote, this is what

586
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 2: you said you like to do in your free time

587
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 2: playing sports. Check weightlifting, yep, partying yea bay back in

588
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 2: the day, and listening to Judas priests.

589
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of the eighties have you metal in

590
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 4: my background?

591
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 2: Okay, so what is Jim Schwartz, the Jim Schwartz that

592
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 2: sits before me right now? If you're right now in

593
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 2: my free time, whatever you may have.

594
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm living a very much free time too. When

595
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 4: you have kids, you don't you don't get to play

596
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 4: sports very much. My golf game went way down. It'll

597
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 4: win the kids, because you know, it's hard to go

598
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 4: spend six hours playing golf. Of course, you need to

599
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 4: spend time with the kids, with your family, particularly in

600
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 4: this business where we spend so much time in the office.

601
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 4: But now my kids are in college, now, so maybe

602
00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 4: I'll restart that and uh can become a bogey golfer again.

603
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 4: And I've got some great courses here that you know,

604
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 4: that that I could that I could work with.

605
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 2: Still Judas Priests I like too much.

606
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I got some country music and me,

607
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 4: I mean, I lived in Nashville way too long to

608
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 4: not enjoy the country. I love the stories with country.

609
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 4: But yeah, it hard if I'm going to if I'm

610
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 4: going to work out, and and all my time working

611
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 4: out now is trying to get small, not trying to

612
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 4: get fit, you know. I mean I changed, you know,

613
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 4: I used to used to try to be a meathead

614
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 4: and and and now it's it's all just peloton and

615
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 4: rowing and you know, and and and high reps. I'm

616
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 4: trying to get small, not big. But you still it's

617
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 4: it's it's it's not just sort of fun. It just

618
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 4: it helps you concentrate in the day. If you can

619
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 4: keep yourself fit, you know, it helps you in a

620
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 4: lot of ways. But if I'm if if I get

621
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 4: especially hard work out, I'm still rolling back to Metallica

622
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 4: and and and Priests and you know, Scorpions and Tesla

623
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 4: and guns and roses, and you know that's my that's

624
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 4: my thing. But if I'm in the car on a

625
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 4: long trip, you know, maybe maybe it's more Kenny Chesney

626
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 4: and Eric Church and you know those kind of guys.

627
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 2: Coach. This has been pure joy. I could sit here

628
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 2: and talk with you for hours, love listen to the

629
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 2: way you kind of break down ball and everything, and

630
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 2: certainly very happy to have you here. And yes, the

631
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 2: focus is not on press conference, it's not on these interviews.

632
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 2: It's on going out there and winning games. And unfortunately

633
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 2: we have to wait a while to do that, and

634
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 2: this fall is that we have miles to go. Credit

635
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 2: to give you for that one. But certainly happy to

636
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 2: have you here, and thanks so much for the time today.

637
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks for having me.

638
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 2: It's one thing to talk to Jim Schwartz and to

639
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 2: kind of hear about some of the things that were

640
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 2: theoretical at that time. But since then we've gotten to

641
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 2: see him be the defensive coordinator throughout the OTAs and

642
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 2: the mini camp. We've seen the buy in from the players.

643
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 2: We're seeing the aggressive style we're going to play upfront,

644
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 2: four man fronts, five man fronts, getting up field, messing

645
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 2: stuff up, linebackers, cleaning stuff up, and then on the

646
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 2: back end, we're going to play much more man to

647
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 2: man coverage. And as Jake Trotter's pointed out many many times,

648
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 2: the Browns or the number one defense in the NFL

649
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 2: in man coverage last year, So you're gonna see more

650
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 2: of that. But Jim Schwartz is a guy who isn't

651
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 2: about winning press conferences. You heard that rather clearly. He's

652
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 2: the guy who's about winning football games. And there is

653
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 2: a belief in this building that Jim Schwartz is one

654
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 2: of the biggest, if not the biggest offseason acquisition for

655
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 2: the Cleveland Browns because of what he's gonna do with

656
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 2: this unbelievably talented defense with Miles and Dalvin Tomlinson and

657
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 2: Zadarius Smith and Obocuranco up front, with j Okay and

658
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 2: a Walk and TAKEI and Phillips and all those guys

659
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 2: at the second level, and then with that corner trio

660
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 2: that we talked about so much, m j Emerson, Denzel Ward,

661
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 2: Greg Newsom, you got Delpitt and Thornhill at safety, Rodney

662
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 2: McCloud in that safety room as well. This is a

663
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,959
Speaker 2: defense that can be elite, and Jim Schwartz is the

664
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 2: man to bring it out of them. Speaking of elite,

665
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 2: when you put up seventeen plus yards per catch in

666
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 2: the SEC, when you drop two hundred yards on that

667
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 2: famed Georgia defense, you'd have to say you are an

668
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 2: elite talent. Well, the man who did that was Cedric Tillman,

669
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 2: the Browns first pick in the twenty twenty three draft.

670
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 2: Coming up next, we're gonna hear from Tilman his Cleveland

671
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 2: Browns Day Lead debut, shortly after he was drafted to

672
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 2: the Cleveland Browns.

673
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns Daily brought to you by Bowley Back coming

674
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: soon to Ohio On eight to fifty ESPN Cleveland.

675
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 2: We're back on this special edition highlighting the newcomers to

676
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 2: your Cleveland Browns and the first pick. With their first

677
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 2: pick of the twenty twenty three NFL Draft, the brown

678
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 2: selected wide receiver Cedric Tillman out of Tennessee. Tilman had

679
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,479
Speaker 2: an injury plague twenty twenty two, but he go back

680
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 2: to that twenty twenty one season, dominant over a thousand yards.

681
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 2: He was the leading receiver at Tennessee almost eighteen yards

682
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 2: of catch in the SEC. You want big games against

683
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 2: big teams. How about two hundred and a touch against Georgia.

684
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 2: How about one to fifteen a touchdown against Alabama? How

685
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 2: about one fifty to three scores in your bowl game

686
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 2: against Perdue. That's what Tilman did. He's six three, two fifteen.

687
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 2: He can run, he catches the ball very well. The

688
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 2: Browns feel like they got a guy who had he

689
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 2: come out after the twenty one season, goes at the

690
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 2: end of the first round, maybe the early second. Well,

691
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 2: they get him in the third round this year, and

692
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 2: they have big plans for Cedric Tillman and Ceder Tilman.

693
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 2: He's got that NFL pedigree. His father played in the league.

694
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 2: I think he has big plans as well. Take a

695
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 2: listen to my interview with Tillman after being drafted to

696
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 2: the Cleveland Browns. You're smiling here to what's it been like, Man,

697
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 2: what's this whole experience been like for you?

698
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 8: It's been crazy. You know, have family and friends over yesterday.

699
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 8: You know I got the call. Uh, you know, I

700
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 8: was excited. I was stoked.

701
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 9: Uh.

702
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 8: They told me, Hey, we're gonna have you here tomorrow

703
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 8: six am. So I was like, Oh, I better go

704
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 8: to bed. So you know, I'm excited to be here,

705
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 8: you know, first time in Cleveland, and I'm ready to go.

706
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 2: The Tennessee connection obviously is pretty strong in this building,

707
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 2: but it's been a while since we've been able to

708
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 2: go out there and get a player of your caliber,

709
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 2: certainly from Tennessee. Is that kind of cool? And you

710
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 2: got to spend some time with the owners earlier today,

711
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,959
Speaker 2: and I'm sure they are thrilled to have a volunteer.

712
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 2: Rocky Top is probably gonna be blaring throughout the halls

713
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 2: of Borea here.

714
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

715
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 8: No, I'm excited. Uh, you know, just like you said,

716
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 8: just to Tennessee connection. You know, the owners, you know,

717
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 8: grew up in Knoxville, go to the Tennessee games, so

718
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 8: you know, I was with them earlier. You know, I

719
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 8: feel like our relationships already great. So I don't know,

720
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 8: I just feel like this where I'm supposed to be.

721
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 8: So I'm really excited.

722
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, we think so too, and clearly the Browns did

723
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 2: as well. But the storybook doesn't end. You're not just

724
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 2: following your dad's footsteps into the National Football League. We'll

725
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 2: talk about how you're competing with him in a second.

726
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 2: It's not that often that your high school quarterback also

727
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 2: gets drafted to your team, and you guys are gonna

728
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 2: be out there a rookie mini camp together. You guys

729
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 2: are gonna be out working together. I'm sure this offseason.

730
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 2: How wild?

731
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 4: Is that is?

732
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 6: Wild?

733
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 3: Man?

734
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:29,720
Speaker 8: That's why I said, I just have a great feeling.

735
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 8: You know, God does things for a reason. I was

736
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 8: supposed to be here, like you said, my boy Dorian.

737
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 8: You know, we're long childhood friends, not just high school teammates,

738
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 8: you know. So I was just throwing one of them

739
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 8: a couple of days ago. So when I go back

740
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 8: to Vegas tonight or tomorrow, we'll be on the practice

741
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 8: field getting ready to throw.

742
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 2: So is that something you guys talked about though? Like,

743
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 2: hey man, how cool you?

744
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 6: I kid you not.

745
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 8: Right before I aboarded the plane, I was like, hey, dad,

746
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 8: will be cool if we got Dorian too. We got Dorian,

747
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 8: and I was like, I'll make a joke the coach

748
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 8: to get Dorian. But I was like, I'm to make

749
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 8: a few plays you far start. But no, it's cool,

750
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 8: you know, like I said. And I got on the

751
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 8: plane and my mom showed it to me twenty minutes later.

752
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 8: I was like, no way, So, you know, being able

753
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 8: to play with one of my best friends.

754
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 2: It's cool and I would imagine that. You know, you

755
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 2: were so productive at Tennessee, and we will talk about

756
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 2: that in a second. But you come in here your

757
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 2: first rookie minute camp. You want to make a great impression, right,

758
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 2: But typically you're going to be running routes and catching

759
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 2: balls frombody you've never seen before, And in this case,

760
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,280
Speaker 2: you're going to be running routes, catching balls from somebody

761
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 2: you've run routes and cop balls from before. Yeah, well,

762
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:33,800
Speaker 2: do you think that'll help you feel comfortable and be

763
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 2: able to play fast kind of right out of the gate.

764
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 4: Yeah?

765
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 8: Absolutely. You know whoever the quarterback is. But you know,

766
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 8: especially during you and our rookie mini camp, you know,

767
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 8: Dorian knows me. He knows even if it's somebody's on me,

768
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 8: he knows, Hey, I'm still doing it to sad, so

769
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 8: he already trusts me. So you know, I'm looking forward

770
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 8: to get to know the other quarterbacks too, But yeah,

771
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 8: definitely we already have that rapport.

772
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 2: So let's talk about your performance at Tennessee and you

773
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 2: look it back in twenty twenty one against top twenty

774
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 2: five opponents five and thirty five yards, four touchdowns. He

775
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 2: had three in that bowl game. You put up two

776
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 2: hundred on Georgia, you put over one hundred and fifty

777
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 2: on Alabama. Was that kind of the run where you're like,

778
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 2: all right, there's no doubt in my mind, I can

779
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 2: play this game at a real high level.

780
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:14,439
Speaker 7: Yeah.

781
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 4: Absolutely.

782
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 8: You know, like you said, that run was a pretty

783
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 8: good run in twenty twenty one, so you know, you know,

784
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 8: Georgia Obama SECI was called the hardest. You know, those

785
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 8: numbers aren't easy to get, but you know, it's definitely

786
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 8: fun doing.

787
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:28,879
Speaker 2: It over a thousand yards. You the first guy since

788
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 2: Justin Hunter in twenty and twelve. Yeah, that's a big deal.

789
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 7: It was.

790
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 2: And then you end up you have your teammate Jalen

791
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 2: Iid he goes over one thousand this year. Yeah, you

792
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 2: guys get drafted back to back.

793
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 7: Yeah.

794
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 2: Wild. What did you guys kind of say to each

795
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 2: other after that?

796
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 8: No, we just you know, we texted each other, definitely

797
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 8: talked about Jersey Squaf obviously, but now we just said, hey,

798
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 8: you know, felt like people were sleeping on us, felt

799
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 8: like we kind of slipped a little bit. But like

800
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 8: I said, things happened for a reason, and you know

801
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 8: Cleveland Brown's organization. You know, I make my name last year.

802
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 8: You know, I'm proud represent you guys. Will six three

803
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,879
Speaker 8: two fifteen. You obviously can run you after seventeen yards

804
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 8: of catch in the sec. That's not a joke.

805
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 2: That's against the best competition that there is at that

806
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 2: level of football. You come in here, so I imagine you

807
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:13,720
Speaker 2: are feeling confident in your skills. And aren't you excited,

808
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 2: you said earlier, such a competitor to show people to say, look,

809
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 2: this is who I am, this is who said Tillman is,

810
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:19,720
Speaker 2: and this is what I'm about.

811
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm excited. You know, I'm excited to compete against

812
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,240
Speaker 8: my teammates and I'm excited to learn from them too. Also,

813
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 8: you know, just soak it all in like a sponge.

814
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 2: You got a text from Deshaun Watson, which is probably

815
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 2: adds to just the surreal nature of all of this. Right,

816
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 2: somebody that you watched on TV playing the game at

817
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 2: a high level and now he's your quarterback. He's texting

818
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 2: you what did he say? And kind of what was

819
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 2: your reaction? You're like, this doesn't make it feel more real?

820
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 2: You know, at that point it does. It might make

821
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 2: it feel crazier even right.

822
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, it does.

823
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 8: I was geting a bunch of text messages yesterday then

824
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 8: I got this random number.

825
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 7: I was like, oh, what is this and I saw

826
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 7: it's like old snap. But you know it was cool.

827
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 8: You know, he just said he you know, he was

828
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 8: excited to get to working, you know, just to take

829
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 8: it all in and enjoy the moment. And you know,

830
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 8: it was cool. You know Jashaun, you know, one of

831
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 8: the best quarterbacks in the game. He's young, so you know,

832
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 8: we'll get to play with each other for a long

833
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 8: time hopefully, So I'm ready.

834
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 2: I liked the big smile on your face. You're excited

835
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 2: about it. So your dad played in the league, you

836
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 2: talked about competing with him and your older brother as well.

837
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 2: What's kind of his reaction this whole day? This has

838
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 2: to be surreal for him too, And I'm sure it's

839
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 2: a very different process than it is now that was

840
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 2: when he was drafted.

841
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I can't speak for him personally, but

842
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:30,439
Speaker 8: from where I know, you know, I know he's proud

843
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 8: of me. Yeah, you know, it's like I said, second generation,

844
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 8: you know, all those long conversations long days on a

845
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 8: practice field, staying after.

846
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 7: You know he's been there, so you know, I know

847
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 7: he's enjoying the moment for sure.

848
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 2: Because your dad played in the NFL, did you was

849
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:46,839

850
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 2: you know, as long as you.

851
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 7: Can remember, Yeah, it was. There was a point there.

852
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:52,879
Speaker 8: I'll joke I did want to go to the NBA,

853
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 8: but my dad was like, no, I wasn't quite that

854
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 8: good at basketball.

855
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 7: So I made the right choice of football.

856
00:38:59,000 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 2: I think you did.

857
00:38:59,520 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 9: It.

858
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 2: Isn't it also crazy that it's six ' three, you're

859
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,879
Speaker 2: a big receiver. You can be able to tower over

860
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 2: your punch. Yeah, sixtreen that, Yeah, I got you're a point.

861
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 8: Yeah I got shoot like Steph Curry. Yeah, we made

862
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 8: the right choice.

863
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 2: I think you certainly did. Playing in the SEC the

864
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 2: environments that you've played and the crowds you played in

865
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 2: front of. The passion Cleveland is that collegial atmosphere here?

866
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 2: Have you heard anything about what it's like the Dog

867
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 2: Pound and Browns fans just how crazy it is? And

868
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 2: I'm sure you probably already felt it on social media

869
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 2: because this is a passionate fan base here.

870
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, it is you know, I've heard nothing but great things,

871
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,000

00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 8: fans are always going to be there. So I've been trying

873
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 8: to get the slogan's dog pounds you said, I've been

874
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,360

875
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 7: So I'm excited. Let's do it.

00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 2: I would like to ask people, you know, what do

928
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 2: you want the fans when they see Tilman across the

929
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 2: back of your jersey? Maybe not football related, what do

930
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 2: you want them to know about you? What's something you

931
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 2: want them to have in the back of their mind

932
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 2: Because you play a game where you're wearing a helmet,

933
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 2: you're covered up, but you're a human being just like

934
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 2: the rest of us. Got a great smile obviously, And

935
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 2: what do you want people to know when they see

936
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 2: set or Tillman? What are you about?

937
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 8: I just want to be a great role model in

938
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 8: the community. You know, I want people's kids to look

939
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 8: up to me. You know what I'm saying. I want

940
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 8: to represent the organization well, so you know, being a

941
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:59,399
Speaker 8: Cleveland Brown is something that I the chairs will honor

942
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 8: and I just want everybody to know that and care

943
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 8: for organization. I'm still learning everything, but I'm excited to

944
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 8: be here.

945
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 2: Well, we're excited to have you set her. Congratulations and

946
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 2: excited to see you get on the field there with

947
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 2: your former quarterback here in a couple of weeks.

948
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 7: Absolutely, thank you.

949
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,320
Speaker 2: You already can see some of the chemistry he's developing

950
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 2: with not only Deshaun Watson, but also within Josh Dobbs,

951
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 2: but with Dorian Thompson Robinson, who was his high school

952
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 2: quarterback at Bishop Gorman, which we alluded to there. Tilman

953
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 2: has an opportunity, i think, in the preseason to put

954
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,760
Speaker 2: up monster numbers and then we'll see can he force

955
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,359
Speaker 2: himself onto the Field's a very talented wide receiver room

956
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 2: ahead of him, with Mary Cooper, with Donovan Peoples, Jones,

957
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 2: Elijah Moore, Marquise Goodwin. Can Tilman break through and force

958
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,439
Speaker 2: himself on the field, Well, that's something we're gonna find out.

959
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,839
Speaker 2: And if he does, by the way, that means he's

960
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 2: playing really, really well because it's a talented room and

961
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 2: he's a talented, talented kid. So that'll do it for

989
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 10: you so much for taking the time, Bud. Let's we

990
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 10: were talking off air, We obviously all of us in

991
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 10: the Browns family were talking about the loss of Jim Brown.

992
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:21,240
Speaker 10: And you've had several instances your time in New England,

993
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 10: obviously your time here as well. Let's start with it

994
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 10: because we talked, we actually alluded to this with with

995
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 10: Bill and the Patriots put out an image of Bill

996
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 10: how he would stop the bus at the stadium for

997
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 10: the statue that's been out there since sixteen to look

998
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 10: at Jim. And they put on an image of Bill

999
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 10: Belichick steering at Jim. But that wasn't that wasn't lip service.

1000
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 10: That was put into action with you guys when you

1001
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 10: were at the Patriots, wasn't it.

1002
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1003
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 11: Two thousand and seven, we played in Super Bowl out

1004
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 11: in Arizona, and we had practiced at Arizona State University.

1005
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 11: I want to say it was either a Wednesday or

1006
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 11: a Thursday practice. We're in the locker room post practice

1007
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 11: and Bill brought the team up, you know, in a

1008
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 11: group or whatever to like almost like just talk to

1009
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 11: us or whatever. And he surprised everybody with Jim Brown

1010
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:03,479
Speaker 11: being there to be able to talk to our team.

1011
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 11: So that was obviously a great time to be able

1012
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 11: to have an interaction with him, even before I came

1013
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 11: to Cleveland, and then obviously whenever I played here from

1014
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 11: nine to twelve, had a number of conversations with him,

1015
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 11: picked his brain quite a bit anytime he was around.

1016
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 3: So he was a joy to have been able to meet.

1017
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 10: One of those guys that there was an awesomeness to

1018
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 10: him that, even amongst greats, he kind of went above

1019
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 10: and it was It's amazing the way that he would

1020
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 10: stop current players who obviously have never seen him play

1021
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 10: and would be I mean, you're looking at YouTube, But

1022
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 10: it's one of the blessings of being a Cleveland Brown, right,

1023
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:43,359
Speaker 10: is it. Every once in a while Jim Brown would

1024
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 10: walk into the building.

1025
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,839
Speaker 11: Yeah, So I would say I wish that I would

1026
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 11: have had an opportunity to be able to see.

1027
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 3: Him playah in that time.

1028
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 11: But from you know, when you hear a guy like

1029
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 11: Bill Belichick talk about how Jim Brown's the best football

1030
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 11: player that he's ever seen play, then you know, you're

1031
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:01,879
Speaker 11: pretty you're pretty.

1032
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 3: Taken back by by a statement like that.

1033
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 11: So obviously a tremendous, tremendous player and even better person

1034
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 11: and you know, advocate for you know, everything he's done

1035
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:12,840
Speaker 11: in the community.

1036
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's it's remarkable in terms of this first time

1037
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 10: we've had a chance to talk to you since you've

1038
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 10: been back, and of course we're here as a player.

1039
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:24,240
Speaker 10: When when you think of what what made this decision

1040
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 10: to come home the one that it felt like for you,

1041
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 10: it was the time for you to do it.

1042
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 3: I like how you said come home.

1043
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:30,400
Speaker 4: This is what I do.

1044
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 3: Come home.

1045
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:33,879
Speaker 11: Yeah, and it feels like, yeah, it does feel like home.

1046
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 11: I'm from Pittsburgh, Yeah, but Cleveland is home to me.

1047
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 11: Cleveland is home to me. I had a lot of

1048
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:41,799
Speaker 11: great years here. Obviously when I played here as a

1049
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 11: as a special teamer. We had good units back then,

1050
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 11: met a lot of great people that are still involved

1051
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,319
Speaker 11: with the organization and Joe she and Brad Mellon, Guys

1052
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 11: like that obviously, mister Haslam, you know, bought the team

1053
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 11: in my last season here. So it's great to come

1054
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 11: back to familiar faces and just you know, just a

1055
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 11: passionate fan base that loves football. The city loves football.

1056
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:05,839
Speaker 11: So I'm excited to be back here and have an

1057
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 11: opportunity to win.

1058
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 10: You know, when you when you when you're around this

1059
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 10: fan base, when you're around this organization, when you're around

1060
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 10: when you walk in the building, you you mean, we're

1061
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 10: on lou Grows of Boulevard for crying out loud, and

1062
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:18,800
Speaker 10: you walk in there and you see all of it.

1063
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 10: It is a place that is starved for winning. What

1064
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 10: is it about that that drives I know it drives Kevin,

1065
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:28,360
Speaker 10: I know it drives ab, it drives everybody in the organization.

1066
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 10: Now it feels like there's a relentlessness to try to

1067
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 10: achieve that. Now, how much of that was part of

1068
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 10: your in your head about coming back here, the realization that,

1069
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 10: my god, if we ever win here, this is going

1070
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:41,800
Speaker 10: to be pretty nuts.

1071
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 11: Well, I feel that, you know, you know, just looking

1072
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 11: at the roster, there's a lot of talent. There's a

1073
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:48,839
Speaker 11: lot of talent on the roster. I feel like there's

1074
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 11: a great opportunity to win. But obviously and ultimately, we

1075
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 11: have to be able to instill it in the players

1076
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 11: to be able to play selfless, team, team first football,

1077
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:00,399
Speaker 11: and I feel like that's the way that we're gonna

1078
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 11: be able to win. Everything is going to be geared

1079
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 11: at team first, put the team first, willing to do

1080
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:08,439
Speaker 11: whatever it takes to win, because we clearly have enough

1081
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 11: talent to do so. And you can you can see that,

1082
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 11: you know, just being out on the field. The type

1083
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 11: of guys that we have running around, it's pretty it's

1084
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 11: pretty impressive.

1085
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 10: What what are things that you look for in a

1086
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:22,760
Speaker 10: guy to play on your units?

1087
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 11: Well, first off, I mean, if you're going to play

1088
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 11: in the kicking game, you have to have that mentality.

1089
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 11: You have to be fearless, physical, tough, fast, smart, discipline.

1090
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 11: You know, the things that I'm trying to instill in

1091
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 11: our players is we're a fundamentally sound football team that's

1092
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 11: gonna drill, drill, drill it over and over again the

1093
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:47,879
Speaker 11: fundamentals and techniques that are necessary to execute in each

1094
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 11: each six phases of the kicking game. And then, like

1095
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 11: I said before, we're going to be this discipline and

1096
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 11: we're gonna make good decisions, and then lastly, we're gonna

1097
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 11: be a selfless football team. We have to have buying

1098
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:06,280
Speaker 11: from whether you're a four phase starter in a Big four,

1099
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 11: you play on the field goal unit, you play in

1100
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:10,759
Speaker 11: the field goal block unit, or you're a starter that

1101
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 11: plays one to two phases or a spot starter. We

1102
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:21,759
Speaker 11: need buying and contributions from everybody on the team, coaches, players, backups,

1103
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 11: starters if we're going to be good in the kicking

1104
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 11: game and ultimately having a chance to impact you know,

1105
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 11: football games.

1106
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:30,400
Speaker 10: Yeah, let's you talk, man.

1107
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 3: I just think accountability feels like there's listen. That's the

1108
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 3: number one thing for me.

1109
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 11: It's like, if we're talking about winning, and we're talking about,

1110
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:41,239
Speaker 11: you know, getting to the playoffs and getting to where

1111
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 11: we want to be, it's got to be everybody doing

1112
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 11: what it takes to win every game. So I think

1113
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 11: it's selfless accountability. Your teammates, coaches, staff, you know, the organization,

1114
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 11: do what's right and let's put the team first and win.

1115
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 10: You have, you've worked for some You've played for some

1116
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:03,239
Speaker 10: incredible coaches. You've worked for some incredible coaches. What are

1117
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 10: things we mentioned? Belichick let's take him for example. What

1118
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 10: are other things that you pick up from Bill? You'd

1119
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 10: be crazy not to right that you've instituted into into

1120
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:13,919
Speaker 10: your philosophy to make it your own.

1121
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:16,399
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean Bill, I learned a lot from Bill

1122
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:17,920
Speaker 11: as a player and as a coach. You know, he

1123
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 11: really gave me my foundation right for the house that

1124
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:26,280
Speaker 11: I'm building is in my football coaching playing career. However,

1125
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 11: the things that I put into the house are things

1126
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 11: that I've gathered from other coaches that I've been around, observing, studying,

1127
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 11: watching film, studying players. So I have obviously I have

1128
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 11: a lot of things that are on my own. But yeah,

1129
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 11: and honestly, I'm excited to implement what I did in Indie,

1130
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 11: build on what I've done there and improve and bring

1131
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 11: them here and hopefully we can get these guys, you know,

1132
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:53,719
Speaker 11: hitting the ground roll on this week into OTAs.

1133
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:56,319
Speaker 10: When you came in here, we were talking about what

1134
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 10: this is nice? This is now we can go right

1135
00:50:58,680 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 10: a little bit. Now we get a little bit of

1136
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 10: this time of year, what we what's springing the step

1137
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 10: where you look to see in from the guys and

1138
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 10: as you go into this week, what are some things

1139
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 10: you want to get accomplished.

1140
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 11: You know, the last few weeks in phase two, Phase one,

1141
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 11: we've done a lot of on field drill work, you know,

1142
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:17,319
Speaker 11: pretty much on air type stuff. So now we'll be

1143
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 11: able to have you know, looks with bodies in there,

1144
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 11: so we'll be able to you know, elaborate on our scheme,

1145
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:25,839
Speaker 11: install some more things and that way, once we head

1146
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 11: into training camp, we have a really good base and

1147
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 11: understanding for what we're trying to get accomplished.

1148
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 3: Once we put the pads on.

1149
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 10: You were as a player who was a You're a

1150
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 10: hair on fire guy. Literally, I mean, there's this image

1151
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:37,239
Speaker 10: I have.

1152
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 4: Up of you.

1153
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:39,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean that's a fantastic mop you have, buddy,

1154
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:41,799
Speaker 10: that thing looks awesome. But the hair on fire guy.

1155
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 10: How are you different from as a coach and then

1156
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 10: you were as a player. How much of it do

1157
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 10: you pull into the coaching I.

1158
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 11: Learned a lot as a player, I did. I learned

1159
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:51,919
Speaker 11: a lot as a player. I studied well. I feel

1160
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 11: like I was always prepared. However, it's different. You think

1161
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 11: you know everything as a player, and you don't, and

1162
00:51:57,520 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 11: you don't, and you learn a lot whenever you get

1163
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,800
Speaker 11: into the coaching rang and the time that goes into

1164
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 11: it in the detail and why things are being done,

1165
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 11: why you know why we're doing the things we're doing,

1166
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 11: and why we're doing this droll while we're taking this rep.

1167
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 11: Why we're having guys rep in multiple spots. You're trying

1168
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:17,400
Speaker 11: to build on roster depth and have position flexibility amongst

1169
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:20,319
Speaker 11: the players, to give each player as much value as

1170
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:22,880
Speaker 11: you can to your roster. The more things you can do,

1171
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 11: the better. And I'm what I'm trying to do right

1172
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 11: now is just train as many guys as I can

1173
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:31,239
Speaker 11: in multiple phases. That way, in case we get into

1174
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 11: the season and I need someone to come up and play,

1175
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 11: this guy can be plugged in. So trying to build

1176
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:40,040
Speaker 11: as much you know, I would say position flexibility and

1177
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 11: cross training as possible at this point, what.

1178
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:44,439
Speaker 10: Are your philosophies in the return game?

1179
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 11: Philosophies in the return game? Number one, The number one

1180
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 11: thing is get the ball back to the offense. Okay,

1181
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 11: we're gonna protect the football, We're gonna make good decisions

1182
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 11: fielding the football. But then it really goes into as

1183
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 11: far as executing a return. It's the fundamentals of the

1184
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 11: return get you the best opportunity to make big plays.

1185
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:05,280
Speaker 11: So I think that it starts early in the down. Obviously,

1186
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:07,280
Speaker 11: our drops and our setups are going to be important,

1187
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 11: and obviously how we're setting up on the football and

1188
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:14,359
Speaker 11: attacking coverage, and then obviously knowing how those teams are,

1189
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:16,839
Speaker 11: you know, are attacking us. So I think that that's

1190
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 11: really the second, the second part of it.

1191
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:21,320
Speaker 10: You know, it's the way the league is set up now,

1192
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:24,000
Speaker 10: and especially in the AFC. I mean we did this

1193
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:25,839
Speaker 10: last week on the show. I think there's probably like

1194
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:27,839
Speaker 10: ten teams in the AFC that feel like they're Super

1195
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 10: Bowl contenders. And I don't think that that Zyperbally. I

1196
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:32,239
Speaker 10: think ten of them. You go to their facility, they say, yeah,

1197
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:33,879
Speaker 10: we can go win the Super Bowl this year. And

1198
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 10: all of them have great offenses. Many of them have

1199
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:39,840
Speaker 10: great defenses. In a league where there are so little

1200
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 10: margin for air, so much of it comes down to

1201
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 10: your units. Yeah, it really does, man, I mean we've

1202
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 10: seen it.

1203
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1204
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 3: I mean, you just never know.

1205
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 11: And that's the one thing that I always try to

1206
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:53,239
Speaker 11: stress to our players. You just don't know which play

1207
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 11: it's going to be. So you have to take the

1208
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:57,279
Speaker 11: field like this is going to be the play. And

1209
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 11: this is the opportunity because different from offense and defense,

1210
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 11: where you're having sixty to eighty plays a game on

1211
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 11: each side of the ball, in the kicking game, you

1212
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:09,320
Speaker 11: know you're probably gonna have between twenty five and thirty

1213
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 11: reps in the game.

1214
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 3: You may only have a handful.

1215
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 11: Of opportunities to return, to return the ball, to actually

1216
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:18,279
Speaker 11: run the pressure that you have script or schemed up

1217
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 11: against the opponents. So you've got to be able to

1218
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 11: capitalize on every opportunity, you know, and take advantage of

1219
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 11: everything that's given to you.

1220
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 3: So you know, don't take anything lightly.

1221
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:31,239
Speaker 11: Treat every not treat every play like gets your last,

1222
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:33,600
Speaker 11: but treat every play like it's super important and it

1223
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 11: could be the play that impacts.

1224
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 10: The game absolutely. And you know, I want to ask

1225
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:41,759
Speaker 10: you about kid. We we certainly saw we did. They

1226
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 10: drafted him here after what he did at LSU where

1227
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 10: he's one of the great collegiate kickers last year up

1228
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 10: and down searching for that consistency. What what of your

1229
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:53,480
Speaker 10: have you What have your conversation with him been like?

1230
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 10: And what is your approach to to to place kicker

1231
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 10: and trying to get him to be everything that he

1232
00:54:58,680 --> 00:54:59,360
Speaker 10: was drafted to be.

1233
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,439
Speaker 11: Hey, all those guys, all the specialists, have been great

1234
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 11: to this point. Yeah, he's got a great work ethic.

1235
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 11: He's a hard worker, he's very detailed. He's you know,

1236
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:13,800
Speaker 11: very honed in on his mechanics and almost two detailed

1237
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:16,279
Speaker 11: at times. What we want to do with him is

1238
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:18,400
Speaker 11: we obviously we're trying to get him to be as

1239
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:22,279
Speaker 11: consistent as possible, and if there is a if there

1240
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:24,239
Speaker 11: is a hiccup, or if there is a mistake or

1241
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:25,880
Speaker 11: an error, we're trying to put that the bet as

1242
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 11: fast as we can and not let those not let

1243
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 11: those things compound. So he's done a good job to

1244
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:34,279
Speaker 11: this point. He's hit the ball well. He's definitely got

1245
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:37,839
Speaker 11: a strong and explosive leg. I think that, you know,

1246
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 11: a fresh start, you know, sometimes the volume can take

1247
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 11: a toll on a player as well. I think that,

1248
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:45,719
Speaker 11: you know, hitting hitting less balls is going to be

1249
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:48,879
Speaker 11: beneficial to him. So we're excited to work with him,

1250
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:50,320
Speaker 11: and he's done a good job to this point.

1251
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:52,839
Speaker 10: It's kind of like a golfer, right with a golf swing,

1252
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 10: like you can over cook it.

1253
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:58,440
Speaker 3: You can definitely overcook it, you know what I mean.

1254
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 11: Definitely overcook it, you know, like for me, like I've coached,

1255
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:04,360
Speaker 11: I've coached players, and I've been around players that like

1256
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 11: to hit. Like Steve Gosowski in New England did not

1257
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:10,880
Speaker 11: want to hit a lot of balls, whereas Adam Vinteri

1258
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 11: wanted to hit a hundred balls and he wanted to

1259
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 11: kick balls from sixty plus every day. Steve wasn't like that.

1260
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 11: Phil Dawson was kind of like in between. But I think, Kid,

1261
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 11: I think that we can take some volume off of him,

1262
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:28,800
Speaker 11: you know, save his leg a little bit, be you know, precise,

1263
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:31,840
Speaker 11: and I think that we'll get the results we need.

1264
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:32,719
Speaker 3: You.

1265
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 10: You obviously played here when Joshua was at his peak

1266
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:39,239
Speaker 10: in the return game, and there's a gift to that, right,

1267
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 10: a fearlessness of being that and being able to do that.

1268
00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 10: Are there guys on this roster, maybe not to that level,

1269
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 10: but that have that in them that you that you've

1270
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:49,799
Speaker 10: been able to identify in the return game.

1271
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:51,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, we have explosive returners. We do.

1272
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:55,480
Speaker 11: Last year, Jerome Ford finished out the year doing a

1273
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:58,279
Speaker 11: really nice job in the kick return phase. He's an

1274
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 11: explosive player with good size, he's got good vision, He's

1275
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:05,800
Speaker 11: an aggressive runner Downhill. I like him a lot. Jalen

1276
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:08,759
Speaker 11: Darden is a kid that you know they acquired mid

1277
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 11: season last year that is an instinctive player. He's not

1278
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:15,480
Speaker 11: the biggest guy, but he's got good vision and feel.

1279
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:18,280
Speaker 11: And then obviously Jaquem Grant, you know, if he can

1280
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 11: get back to where he was pre injury, that guy's

1281
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 11: explosive and he's got the ability to change a game

1282
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 11: in both kick and punk return. So I think that

1283
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 11: when when you're covering guys that are that explosive and

1284
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:33,760
Speaker 11: that dynamic, it definitely, first off, it heightens your your

1285
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 11: blocking teams right responsibilities and technique like everyone's when you're

1286
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 11: blocking for a guy like Cribs, you know you have

1287
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 11: a chance to legitimately score every play. So I'm just

1288
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 11: telling you, like, when you're a core player blocking for

1289
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:49,640
Speaker 11: a guy like that and you know that we have

1290
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:51,600
Speaker 11: the ability to score, you're gonna block a little bit

1291
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:54,200
Speaker 11: harder they just are, and you're gonna do a little

1292
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:56,760
Speaker 11: bit extra. And that's what it takes, so like to

1293
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 11: bust those returns. It's not just doing your job. It's

1294
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 11: like doing your and then something else has to happen.

1295
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 6: Yep.

1296
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 11: So you know, Fortunately, when I was here, we had

1297
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 11: a bunch of returns for touchdowns. I'm hoping that we

1298
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:10,120
Speaker 11: can get a few this year. That'd be freaking great.

1299
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 4: It's one of those things.

1300
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 10: It's still the loudest any NFL stadium is is a

1301
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:18,360
Speaker 10: is a special return, touchdown, punter kick. It doesn't happen

1302
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 10: as much, but when it happens.

1303
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:22,440
Speaker 3: I'm kind of getting chills right now.

1304
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:27,560
Speaker 11: I'm telling you that's it's so listen, kick off return

1305
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 11: or punk return for a touchdown.

1306
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:31,840
Speaker 3: I know in block punts, you block a punt, yep.

1307
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:37,000
Speaker 11: Listen, I'm gonna I'm gonna do my best and me

1308
00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:38,920
Speaker 11: and Bravo are gonna do our best to put our

1309
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 11: guys in situations that we can make some big plays.

1310
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 10: Man, I know, you gotta get to a meeting. This

01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:17,800

1360
01:00:56,880 --> 01:00:58,960
Speaker 2: story career that you had there in a second. But

1361
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:00,680
Speaker 2: what was it like when you got to call what

1362
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 2: was kind of the tech walk us through the negotiation,

1363
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:04,919
Speaker 2: when it became real that you could become a Cleveland Brown,

1364
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:07,080
Speaker 2: and then your decision to say, yeah, I want to

1365
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 2: be a Cleveland Brown.

1366
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:13,400
Speaker 12: I was out in Miami, Florida with my fiance just congratulations, yeah,

1367
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:16,320
Speaker 12: thank you, just walking around and all of a sudden,

1368
01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:17,720

1369
01:01:17,720 --> 01:01:20,040

01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 12: know where I'm about to go, and I'm just excited.

1374
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:30,120
Speaker 12: And they told me that I was coming to Cleveland.

1375
01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:32,000
Speaker 12: I felt like I was gonna crying, honestly, just like

1376

01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:37,760
Speaker 12: super excited and finally knew where I was gonna go.

01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:39,360
Speaker 5: And Cleveland is a great city.

1379
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 12: I've heard a lot of good things about being here

Speaker 5: the biggest dog in the dog pound.

1387
01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 4: Baby.

1388
01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:00,000
Speaker 2: I love that. All right. Let's talk about Kansas City.

1389
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:02,760
Speaker 2: You go there. You're playing three Super Bowls, right, You

1390
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 2: win two of those Super Bowls the first one obviously

1391
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:06,840
Speaker 2: were injured, you weren't able to play. So to get

1392
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 2: back into that game, to be able to play in

1393
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:10,680
Speaker 2: it and to win it this year, what did that

1394
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:11,280
Speaker 2: mean to you?

1395
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:14,040
Speaker 5: I mean it was I mean I had a lot

1396
01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 5: going on.

1397
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 12: Like you said, I tore my ACL in twenty nineteen,

1398
01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:20,800
Speaker 12: not being able to play in that Super Bowl. Just

1399
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:23,800
Speaker 12: like sending the stands watching your teammate, your teammates and

1400
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:25,800
Speaker 12: your team run out of the locker room, playing in

1401
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:28,920
Speaker 12: the biggest game, the biggest stage, and you know you're

1402
01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:30,960
Speaker 12: growing up wanting to play in that game your whole life.

1403
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:32,080
Speaker 5: And it was my rookie season.

1404
01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:35,360
Speaker 12: But it was sickening, just like sitting there and just

1405
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:37,400
Speaker 12: watching them play, knowing that I'm supposed to be a

1406
01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 12: part of it, but we won, so I had mixed emotions,

1407
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:43,160
Speaker 12: like I'm sad, then at the same time, I'm happy,

1408
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:46,760
Speaker 12: but it just made me more hungry to work harder

1409
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:49,440
Speaker 12: to get back into that game so I can possibly

1410
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 12: play in it and to win the Super Bowl. And

1411
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 12: I got there again, but we lost that one, so

1412
01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:56,760
Speaker 12: I don't even want to talk about that one. But

1413
01:02:56,800 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 12: then I had the opportunity to make it back this

1414
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 12: year and I was able to play this when it

1415
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:02,520
Speaker 12: actually win it.

1416
01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:03,480
Speaker 5: It was truly amazing.

1417
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:06,160
Speaker 12: Just being able to get that feeling is an experience

1418
01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:08,440
Speaker 12: that it's hard to explain. That you just have to

1419
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:10,920
Speaker 12: be there and just seeing like the confetti fall and

1420
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 12: knowing that all the work that you put in throughout

1421
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:16,560
Speaker 12: the season is finally paid off and you're the best

1422
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:18,440
Speaker 12: in the NFL, and it's the best feeling.

1423
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:21,040
Speaker 2: Ever, how hungry were you when you suffered that injury

1424
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:22,920
Speaker 2: to get back on the field, to get back to

1425
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:24,640
Speaker 2: a super Bowl to win? It took three years to

1426
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:27,320
Speaker 2: win the Super Bowl, and some people will never go

1427
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:29,240
Speaker 2: to a super Bowl in their whole career. But what

1428
01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:31,040
Speaker 2: kind of did you learn about yourself in that period

1429
01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:33,200
Speaker 2: where something that you took for granted you were going

1430
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:35,480
Speaker 2: to be playing right was taken away from you.

1431
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:37,760
Speaker 12: I mean I learned so much, like you said, like

1432
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:41,320
Speaker 12: not knowing that an ACL can slow you down as

1433
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:42,920
Speaker 12: much as it did. I thought I was going to

1434
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:44,320
Speaker 12: I mean, yeah, I tour it. I was like, oh,

1435
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:45,840
Speaker 12: I'll be fine, like in a couple of months and

1436
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:46,439
Speaker 12: get out there.

1437
01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:48,080
Speaker 5: And I struggled.

1438
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 12: Mentally for mentally and physically two years. And I mean,

1439
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:54,720
Speaker 12: I need bothered me for a while. And I would

1440
01:03:54,720 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 12: say this year was my first year being like one

1441
01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 12: hundred percent. And this showed like I performed well this year,

1442
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:03,720
Speaker 12: and I was just hungry all season to make plays

1443
01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:05,240
Speaker 12: and to get back to that game, and I wanted

1444
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:06,760
Speaker 12: to go out on a high note.

1445
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:09,240
Speaker 2: He certainly did. Super Bowl Champion. He had three picks

1446
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:11,800
Speaker 2: this year, career high tackles as well. And now you

1447
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:14,320
Speaker 2: come to the Cleveland Browns, when you go and you

1448
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:17,200
Speaker 2: sign a contract like that, is that something even as

1449
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:20,240
Speaker 2: a young man, that you thought was possible to sign,

1450
01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:23,280
Speaker 2: you know, for twenty plus million dollars? And what does

1451
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:25,440
Speaker 2: that kind of mean to you? Thinking you know your

1452
01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:27,320
Speaker 2: upbringing to where you are here today?

1453
01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:30,040
Speaker 12: See with me, I always bet on myself like that

1454
01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 12: is something that I've always been knowing that I could do.

1455
01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:35,440
Speaker 5: Like growing up, I used to tell people that I

1456
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 5: was going to.

1457
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:37,800
Speaker 12: Play in the eighth in the NFL in the eighth grade,

1458
01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:38,960
Speaker 12: and people will laugh at me.

1459
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:41,080
Speaker 5: I remember, and I'm just like, I'm going to show you.

1460
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 5: Well you're laughing out, Yeah, I'm laughing out.

1461
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:45,080
Speaker 12: But then once you get into the NFL, they say

1462
01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:47,920
Speaker 12: that it's hard to make it to that second contract.

1463
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:50,680
Speaker 12: Only a select few guys make it to that second contract.

1464
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:52,720
Speaker 5: And with me, even.

1465
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:54,440
Speaker 12: After I told my ACL, I knew that I was

1466
01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:57,240
Speaker 12: going to get here because I feel like I work

1467
01:04:57,360 --> 01:05:00,320
Speaker 12: harder than most of my opponents and the guys next

1468
01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:01,960
Speaker 12: to me as well. And when you got a guy

1469
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:04,160
Speaker 12: in your room that works hard, you're gonna push each

1470
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:07,080
Speaker 12: and everyone to work even harder because.

1471
01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:08,960
Speaker 2: You're a competitor. I read you said something. You know,

1472
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:10,760
Speaker 2: I don't care if I'm playing cornhole. Whatever it is

1473
01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:12,880
Speaker 2: you want to win, I love that. I feel like

1474
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:14,480
Speaker 2: that's the mentality you have to have because you must

1475
01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:16,400
Speaker 2: hate losing, right, Losing must make you sick.

1476
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:18,760
Speaker 12: I hate losing like I've been born a winner, like

1477
01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:21,160
Speaker 12: a lot of people don't know, I got five state

1478
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:23,520
Speaker 12: championships coming out of high school, So like, I'm just

1479
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:25,440
Speaker 12: used to winning. That's something that I do and I

1480
01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:26,960
Speaker 12: don't plan on stopping now.

1481
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:28,840
Speaker 2: Well, look, we love to bring that here to the

1482
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:31,120
Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns. What does it take? You've been around it, right,

1483
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:34,200
Speaker 2: What does it take from an individual standpoint, the commitment

1484
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:36,080
Speaker 2: you must make, and then also from a team standpoint,

1485
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:38,600
Speaker 2: what does it actually take? And Petterick Mahomes probably helps

1486
01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:40,000
Speaker 2: a little bit too, Yeah, but what does it take

1487
01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:43,080
Speaker 2: to win a Super Bowl and to be elite year

1488
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:45,959
Speaker 2: after year after year in this very competitive league?

1489
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:48,440
Speaker 12: I mean, it takes more than what you think, like

1490
01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:51,240
Speaker 12: small things like a lot of guys think that football

1491
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:53,240
Speaker 12: you just come to practice and you just practice that

1492
01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:55,200
Speaker 12: together and you just go your separate ways.

1493
01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:56,240
Speaker 5: No, it takes more than that.

1494
01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:59,640
Speaker 12: You have to be able to build those relationships with

1495
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:02,000
Speaker 12: your team, like things like that would make you so

1496
01:06:02,160 --> 01:06:04,200
Speaker 12: much better. And that's one thing that I'm looking at

1497
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:08,960
Speaker 12: bringing here is just bringing the defense together, the office together,

1498
01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:12,080
Speaker 12: bringing everybody together, because if you build those relationships with

1499
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:14,480
Speaker 12: one another, it makes you dominant, believe it or not.

1500
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:17,120
Speaker 12: You can set of just communicating calls on the field,

1501
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:19,240
Speaker 12: you can look at each other and know what you're

1502
01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:21,920
Speaker 12: thinking because you've been around each other so much. And

1503
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 12: I just think that things like that make you more dominant.

1504
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:27,280
Speaker 2: What was it like for you this year working with

1505
01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:30,080
Speaker 2: so many rookies, right? You guys had to basically the

1506
01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:33,840
Speaker 2: entire back end other than yourself and lagarious rookies, and

1507
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:35,200
Speaker 2: you're able to get them to play at a high

1508
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:36,960
Speaker 2: level and mold them, and you're gonna come here. Now

1509
01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:39,000
Speaker 2: you've got some younger guys. Greg's in his third year,

1510
01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 2: MJ's gonna be in his second year, Grants in his

1511
01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:42,680
Speaker 2: fourth year, and then you got Denzel, But they're guys

1512
01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:44,400
Speaker 2: who at least have played. What was that like working

1513
01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:45,920
Speaker 2: with so many rookies and then now coming to a

1514
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:48,200
Speaker 2: place where you've got some more established guys.

1515
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 12: It was It wasn't as bad as people would think.

1516
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:53,160
Speaker 12: Like I thought it was gonna be like hard having

1517
01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 12: a bunch of guys that like just don't got it

1518
01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:57,520
Speaker 12: to the NFL. But those guys made it so much

1519
01:06:57,520 --> 01:06:59,600
Speaker 12: easier on me, honestly, Like I tell this story all

1520
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:02,200
Speaker 12: the time, and like I remember me coming in as

1521
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:05,280
Speaker 12: a rookie. I was trying to study the playbook by

1522
01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:08,440
Speaker 12: myself each and every night, frustrated, like wanting to cross

1523
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:10,680
Speaker 12: sometimes because it's hard to pick up on the playbook

1524
01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:13,400
Speaker 12: and not really having anybody to talk to about it.

1525
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:16,720
Speaker 12: But these rookies they stepped in and they went about

1526
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:19,680
Speaker 12: doing it themselves. They had like groups together and they

1527
01:07:19,720 --> 01:07:22,360
Speaker 12: would study the playbook together, so one person didn't know

1528
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:25,320
Speaker 12: what the other guys did. So, like I said, they

1529
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:27,280
Speaker 12: made it easy on me. And I was just the

1530
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:30,560
Speaker 12: older guy, like the vet that if they didn't understand something,

1531
01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:32,600
Speaker 12: they can come and ask me, and I'll be that

1532
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:34,720
Speaker 12: guy to let him know, like what's fright and what's wrong.

1533
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:36,320
Speaker 2: Who's the one that tell you how to be a pro,

1534
01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:37,920
Speaker 2: because that's I think one of the big keys in

1535
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:39,360
Speaker 2: this league right is learned how to be a pro.

1536
01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:42,400
Speaker 12: Yeah, I would say Tyron Matthew like the guy. Yeah,

1537
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:44,840
Speaker 12: the guy he's I mean, he's a competitor. You can

1538
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:46,760
Speaker 12: see that, And I think that's what helped me out

1539
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:49,600
Speaker 12: as well. Like I just watching him practice each and

1540
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:51,439
Speaker 12: every day, like he's not trying to lose a rep

1541
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:52,000
Speaker 12: on the field.

1542
01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:53,920
Speaker 5: He's just a great leader.

1543
01:07:54,680 --> 01:07:56,440
Speaker 2: So when you're in Kansas City, guy got up in

1544
01:07:56,440 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 2: the front Chris Jones, pretty good game wrecker can get

1545
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:01,640
Speaker 2: after the quarter Come here, now you're gonna have a

1546
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:04,320
Speaker 2: guy nay, Miles Garrett, Pretty darn good game wrecker can

1547
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:06,240
Speaker 2: get after the quarterback. When you're on the back end

1548
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:09,520
Speaker 2: and you know that the quarterback knows there's a finite

1549
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:11,560
Speaker 2: amount of time that I can hold this football before

1550
01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:13,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get hit. How does that affect how you're

1551
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:15,440
Speaker 2: able to play and maybe some of the chances you're

1552
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:16,920
Speaker 2: able to take to go be around the ball.

1553
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:18,799
Speaker 5: That makes my job so much easier.

1554
01:08:18,840 --> 01:08:20,639
Speaker 12: When you got a guy at Chris Jones and Miles

1555
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:23,120
Speaker 12: Garrett front, you know that you're only covering for maybe

1556
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:26,320
Speaker 12: two seconds because that third second, the ball's got to

1557
01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:26,719
Speaker 12: come out.

1558
01:08:26,840 --> 01:08:29,400
Speaker 5: And if they get back there and hit that quarterback, that's.

1559
01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:31,639
Speaker 12: When the quarterback starts to throw balls up and that's

1560
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:33,400
Speaker 12: when they make it fun for me because I'm just

1561
01:08:33,680 --> 01:08:36,720
Speaker 12: covering fifty three yard sideline, the sidline picking everything off.

1562
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:39,240
Speaker 2: So you're versatile as a safety, and I know you

1563
01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:41,840
Speaker 2: talk with Jim Schwartz and he kind of likes that versatility,

1564
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:43,960
Speaker 2: But do you like playing that center field role? And

1565
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:45,439
Speaker 2: I know we'll play a lot of single high here

1566
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:46,760
Speaker 2: and something that you like to do.

1567
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:47,360
Speaker 5: It's fun.

1568
01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:49,559
Speaker 12: I mean it's fun when you really don't have any

1569
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:52,639
Speaker 12: responsibility but play the quarterback and play the ball.

1570
01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:54,200
Speaker 5: Like it doesn't get any better than that.

1571
01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:56,880
Speaker 12: Like it's like a one on one matchup who's smarter

1572
01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:58,400
Speaker 12: and who can make who make a mistake.

1573
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:00,599
Speaker 5: That's all it is. And I really enjoy or being

1574
01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:01,600
Speaker 5: back there.

1575
01:09:00,920 --> 01:09:01,960
Speaker 3: In that D third.

1576
01:09:02,120 --> 01:09:03,680
Speaker 2: Who are some of the quarterbacks that you like kind

1577
01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:04,920
Speaker 2: of have in that battle.

1578
01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:07,880
Speaker 12: With A guy that I feel like I might have

1579
01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:11,000
Speaker 12: is Derek Carr, Like I like.

1580
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:12,880
Speaker 2: Him, Well he went to the NFC. He's like, all right,

1581
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:13,639
Speaker 2: one's going.

1582
01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:16,599
Speaker 12: Over a god that I feel like I was actually

1583
01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:20,040
Speaker 12: like I definitely lost that battle with Aaron Rodgers, Like

1584
01:09:20,120 --> 01:09:22,360
Speaker 12: that's one guy could not just I couldn't figure out

1585
01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:23,000
Speaker 12: when I played him.

1586
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:25,200
Speaker 5: I was a rookie back then the D third and

1587
01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:26,040
Speaker 5: he was kind of.

1588
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:28,479
Speaker 12: Like picking me apart. I couldn't figure out where he

1589
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:30,360
Speaker 12: was gonna go. And I felt like I struggled with

1590
01:09:30,360 --> 01:09:32,439
Speaker 12: that game. But everyone else I feel like I can

1591
01:09:32,479 --> 01:09:34,519
Speaker 12: get a good read on, even Tom Brady the Goat,

1592
01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:36,200
Speaker 12: I feel like I had a good read on as well.

1593
01:09:36,240 --> 01:09:38,519
Speaker 2: Well, you're gonna get another shot Aaron Rodgers. If he does,

1594
01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:39,960
Speaker 2: in fact, you make his way to the Jets, that

1595
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:41,519
Speaker 2: looks like he will. They will be playing the Browns

1596
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:43,719
Speaker 2: this year, So get another shot out of there. Oh yeah,

1597
01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:45,200
Speaker 2: what do you love about this game?

1598
01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:49,000
Speaker 12: I mean is a man's game. That's what makes me

1599
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:51,559
Speaker 12: the most excited about it. Like a lot of people

1600
01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:54,960
Speaker 12: like when you get first traded or you have anger.

1601
01:09:54,680 --> 01:09:56,040
Speaker 5: Built out, what do you have to do? You have

1602
01:09:56,120 --> 01:09:58,160
Speaker 5: to keep it in, You have to go into your

1603
01:09:58,240 --> 01:09:59,960
Speaker 5: room and not really let it out.

1604
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:02,080
Speaker 12: When you come to this game right here, you can

1605
01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:04,839
Speaker 12: let out any first ration you want. You get paid

1606
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:07,599
Speaker 12: to hit someone as hard as you can.

1607
01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:09,559
Speaker 5: So that's what I love the most about this game.

1608
01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:11,760
Speaker 2: But we're certainly gonna like that in Browns fans is

1609
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:14,839
Speaker 2: you probably have already seen or intense. They are passionate,

1610
01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:16,360
Speaker 2: and you come from a very passionate fan base in

1611
01:10:16,439 --> 01:10:19,080
Speaker 2: Kansas City. Arrowhead gets rocking first Energy is going to

1612
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:21,519
Speaker 2: be rocking for you as well. The two things real quick. One,

1613
01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:23,519
Speaker 2: your teammates, I know that Deshaun reach out to you.

1614
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:25,160
Speaker 2: I know Miles Garrett reached out to you. What was

1615
01:10:25,160 --> 01:10:27,160
Speaker 2: it like to kind of have the stars of this

1616
01:10:27,200 --> 01:10:29,679
Speaker 2: football team welcome you in with open arms.

1617
01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:30,559
Speaker 5: I mean, it was amazing.

1618
01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:32,519
Speaker 12: When your leader of your team reach out to the

1619
01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:35,240
Speaker 12: guys that's coming in, it shows that they're great leaders.

1620
01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:38,559
Speaker 12: I mean they're willing to welcome anyone that comes into

1621
01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:40,760
Speaker 12: this locker room. And I just feel like guys like that,

1622
01:10:40,800 --> 01:10:42,519
Speaker 12: when you have those guys in your locker room, just

1623
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:44,720
Speaker 12: makes things so much better. And I love to be

1624
01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:45,720
Speaker 12: around guys like that.

1625
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:47,800
Speaker 2: You already talked about how you've liked Cleveland. I don't

1626
01:10:47,800 --> 01:10:49,880
Speaker 2: know if Travis Kelsey told you anything since you've come here.

1627
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:51,920
Speaker 2: He's a Cleveland guy and you may get a chance

1628
01:10:51,920 --> 01:10:54,160
Speaker 2: to see him. But what's something you want the fans

1629
01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:56,599
Speaker 2: of the Cleveland Browns to know about you when they

1630
01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:58,479
Speaker 2: look out there and they see Thornhill when they say

1631
01:10:58,479 --> 01:10:59,760
Speaker 2: it on the back of your jersey. What do you

1632
01:10:59,800 --> 01:11:01,679
Speaker 2: want them to be thinking about you as a player,

1633
01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:03,559
Speaker 2: as a man, or anything at all that you want

1634
01:11:03,560 --> 01:11:03,880
Speaker 2: them to know.

1635
01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:06,599
Speaker 12: How I'd broad here for a reason, and the reason

1636
01:11:06,640 --> 01:11:08,519
Speaker 12: that I'm here is to get us to the super Bowl.

1637
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:10,760
Speaker 12: Is that's simple, ball and air throwing. Hill's going to

1638
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:12,360
Speaker 12: get it. Just believe in throwing him.

1639
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:15,080
Speaker 2: I love it well, pleasure to meet you. Congratulations and

1640
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:16,080
Speaker 2: welcome to the Clean Browns.

1641
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:16,519
Speaker 5: Thank you.

1642
01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:18,240
Speaker 2: You need those kind of guys, You need the guys

1643
01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:20,479
Speaker 2: who have been there, the guys that have the respect

1644
01:11:20,520 --> 01:11:22,360
Speaker 2: of the others because they've played at the highest level,

1645
01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:24,839
Speaker 2: They've come through in the biggest games, in the biggest moments,

1646
01:11:25,040 --> 01:11:27,200
Speaker 2: and they know what it takes from a team standpoint

1647
01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:28,920
Speaker 2: to get to the Super Bowl, to get to the

1648
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:31,000
Speaker 2: top of the mountain here in the National Football League.

1649
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:33,360
Speaker 2: And you can already see the impact that he and

1650
01:11:33,479 --> 01:11:36,120
Speaker 2: Rodney McLeod, two veterans who have come into that safety room,

1651
01:11:36,160 --> 01:11:37,960
Speaker 2: are having not only on Grant help it, but the

1652
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:40,760
Speaker 2: whole defense. And it's awesome to see. They bring that

1653
01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:43,680
Speaker 2: competitive fire, They bring that juice and as Kevin st.

1654
01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:46,800
Speaker 2: Fancy says, if you're juiceless, you are useless. Well, one

1655
01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:49,400
Speaker 2: guy who is his cup runneth over in my opinion,

1656
01:11:49,439 --> 01:11:51,519
Speaker 2: because he's got so much juice lined up, whether it's

1657
01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 2: out wide, whether it's in the slot, whether it's in

1658
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:56,360
Speaker 2: the backfield, is Elijah More. I think this guy's got

1659
01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:58,479
Speaker 2: star written all over him. And you're gonna hear my

1660
01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:02,160
Speaker 2: interview with Elijah following the conclusion of Brown's Mini Caamp

1661
01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:04,200
Speaker 2: a few weeks ago, when we return on Cleveland Browns

1662
01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:06,240
Speaker 2: Daily brought to you by bally Bet.

1663
01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:16,679
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns Daily brought to you by Bally Bett, coming

1664
01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:20,360
Speaker 1: soon to Ohio on eight fifty ESPN. Cleveland.

1665
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:23,960
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back into this special edition of Cleveland

1666
01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:26,160
Speaker 2: Browns Daily, brought to you by bally Bet, a supports

1667
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:29,240
Speaker 2: betting partner of the Cleveland Browns coming soon to Ohio.

1668
01:12:29,800 --> 01:12:32,120
Speaker 2: It's all about the newcomers. We've talked about some of

1669
01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:34,559
Speaker 2: the big ones. I don't know on the offensive side,

1670
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:37,240
Speaker 2: if there is a bigger one than my next guest,

1671
01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:41,120
Speaker 2: Elijah Moore. The versatility, his ability to beat man coverage,

1672
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:45,040
Speaker 2: the separation, the speed, the hands. Guy caught more balls

1673
01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:47,640
Speaker 2: than he was thrown catchable passes last year. Try to

1674
01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:49,360
Speaker 2: get your head around that. I don't know if you can.

1675
01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:52,240
Speaker 2: My brain's in a pretzel. But that's fine because the

1676
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:54,479
Speaker 2: fact is when you came out here to Miniicamp, to

1677
01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:57,360
Speaker 2: Shaun Watson, that was the big takeaway. The number two

1678
01:12:57,360 --> 01:13:01,720
Speaker 2: takeaway was Elijah Moore slot out wide didn't matter. He

1679
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:05,000
Speaker 2: was a mismatch everywhere he went. He caught numerous touchdowns,

1680
01:13:05,080 --> 01:13:07,479
Speaker 2: and he was a problem for the defense and I

1681
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:08,880
Speaker 2: can't wait for him to be a problem for other

1682
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:12,280
Speaker 2: teams defenses on Sundays. Plus, he's got an electric smile

1683
01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:15,080
Speaker 2: and he can just tell he's having fun. The Browns

1684
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:17,200
Speaker 2: trade their second round pick to get Elijah Moore, you remember,

1685
01:13:17,240 --> 01:13:20,040
Speaker 2: to get Elijah and the Jets' third round pick. They

1686
01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:22,599
Speaker 2: use that on center Tillman. Clearly they wanted to improve

1687
01:13:22,600 --> 01:13:25,320
Speaker 2: that receiver room, and Elijah Moore is gonna bring that juice.

1688
01:13:25,439 --> 01:13:28,000
Speaker 2: Here's my one on one with him, following the conclusion

1689
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:30,640
Speaker 2: of Brown's mini camp. Elijah, we talked right after you

1690
01:13:30,720 --> 01:13:32,759
Speaker 2: came to the Cleveland Browns, after the trade was happening,

1691
01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:34,519
Speaker 2: and in that time, it's a theory, right. Oh, I'm

1692
01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:37,400
Speaker 2: gonna play with Deshaun Watson. I'm excited to be here. Well,

1693
01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:39,280
Speaker 2: now you've been here for a little while. Today was

1694
01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:40,800
Speaker 2: the first day of mini camp, so it's become a

1695
01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:43,120
Speaker 2: little bit more of real no games yet, but is

1696
01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:45,160
Speaker 2: it matching up to what you had hoped it would

1697
01:13:45,200 --> 01:13:45,639
Speaker 2: be so far?

1698
01:13:45,920 --> 01:13:46,080
Speaker 3: Nah?

1699
01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:49,400
Speaker 13: Yes, sir, I feel like we're excelling as a group

1700
01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:50,960
Speaker 13: day by day. You know, all we can do is

1701
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:52,519
Speaker 13: come my hand put out best befoward and I feel

1702
01:13:52,520 --> 01:13:54,800
Speaker 13: like that's exactly what we're doing, and I'm super excited.

1703
01:13:54,520 --> 01:13:54,800
Speaker 4: To be here.

1704
01:13:55,080 --> 01:13:57,000
Speaker 2: So there was a throw a couple of days ago

1705
01:13:57,080 --> 01:13:59,840
Speaker 2: and a routes last week that Alex Van peltzaid gave

1706
01:13:59,880 --> 01:14:01,360
Speaker 2: him goosebumps, you know, the one where you kind of

1707
01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:03,720
Speaker 2: broke down, look like you run out, broke inside. The

1708
01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:05,160
Speaker 2: ball was right there on the money? Was that the

1709
01:14:05,160 --> 01:14:07,240
Speaker 2: one where you're like, okay, all right, we're this is

1710
01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:08,679
Speaker 2: gonna be this could be special.

1711
01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:09,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1712
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:10,920
Speaker 13: I mean, whenever you have plays like that where it's

1713
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:14,280
Speaker 13: just in sync and it's like timing is literally almost perfect,

1714
01:14:14,479 --> 01:14:16,640
Speaker 13: you can't do nothing but get goosebumps them, you know,

1715
01:14:16,640 --> 01:14:17,720
Speaker 13: and be super happy.

1716
01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:19,840
Speaker 6: Because that's exactly how the play is supposed to go.

1717
01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:21,880
Speaker 6: And you know, football, a lot of stuff has has

1718
01:14:21,920 --> 01:14:23,880
Speaker 6: to go right. So when stuff like that happens, we

1719
01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:25,080
Speaker 6: can't do nothing but be excited.

1720
01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:27,680
Speaker 2: All right. So today seven on sevens and it is

1721
01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:29,920
Speaker 2: seven on seven, there's no pass rush the offenses. It's

1722
01:14:29,920 --> 01:14:32,439
Speaker 2: supposed to look good for the offense. Well, it looked

1723
01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:34,439
Speaker 2: very good today and the first one not a single

1724
01:14:34,439 --> 01:14:36,000
Speaker 2: and completion when you were out there with the Shan

1725
01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:38,360
Speaker 2: in the red zone ten plays, nine touchdowns. You said

1726
01:14:38,360 --> 01:14:40,240
Speaker 2: you got in on that one. Nine touchdowns out of

1727
01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:43,160
Speaker 2: ten plays in the red zone. How were you guys

1728
01:14:43,160 --> 01:14:45,280
Speaker 2: feeling and kind of what was the sentiment amongst you

1729
01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:46,479
Speaker 2: guys as this was unfolding.

1730
01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:48,639
Speaker 6: I feel like we were just feed off each other energy,

1731
01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:49,000
Speaker 6: you know.

1732
01:14:49,720 --> 01:14:51,200
Speaker 13: Of course, like you said, it's just seven on seven,

1733
01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:53,679
Speaker 13: But we got a stat these days, you know, haven't

1734
01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:56,920
Speaker 13: periods like that is only going to help us, you know,

1735
01:14:57,120 --> 01:14:58,840
Speaker 13: especially when we get to see it in full action,

1736
01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:01,120
Speaker 13: you know, So now we gotta translate that to the

1737
01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:04,080
Speaker 13: team and then obviously, you know, Sunday, it.

1738
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:06,280
Speaker 2: Feels like, as somebody observing and we talked for I

1739
01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:08,040
Speaker 2: was a big faneers coming out of old mess. Obviously

1740
01:15:08,120 --> 01:15:09,080
Speaker 2: wanted you to come to the Browns. A lot of

1741
01:15:09,120 --> 01:15:11,120
Speaker 2: people here wanted that, and so they made it happen.

1742
01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:14,400
Speaker 2: It felt like they already had a rather detailed plan

1743
01:15:14,479 --> 01:15:16,640
Speaker 2: for you in place, because you've only been here what

1744
01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:22,000
Speaker 2: a month, and you're outside, you're inside, you're in the backfield,

1745
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:24,960
Speaker 2: which has been quite productive as well. Do you love

1746
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:27,040
Speaker 2: that and does that make you feel like, okay, yeah,

1747
01:15:27,040 --> 01:15:28,599
Speaker 2: they wanted me. They traded for me. I knew that,

1748
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:31,559
Speaker 2: but they clearly have well thought out the role for

1749
01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:32,200
Speaker 2: Elijah Moore.

1750
01:15:32,479 --> 01:15:32,760
Speaker 10: You know.

1751
01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:35,160
Speaker 13: I mean I literally can't do anything but be grateful.

1752
01:15:35,360 --> 01:15:37,360
Speaker 13: You know, it just makes me go. It makes me

1753
01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:39,320
Speaker 13: go harder, you know, knowing that they want to use

1754
01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:41,880
Speaker 13: me in different positions and just for mismatches. You know,

1755
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:44,200
Speaker 13: it's kind of like how I was using college, And

1756
01:15:44,240 --> 01:15:46,880
Speaker 13: I feel like when you using everybody like how they

1757
01:15:46,920 --> 01:15:49,840
Speaker 13: know they can be used, then I feel like, you know,

1758
01:15:49,920 --> 01:15:50,840
Speaker 13: Sky is passing them.

1759
01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:51,120
Speaker 2: You know.

1760
01:15:51,439 --> 01:15:53,920
Speaker 6: I feel like everybody's is like a big thumbs up

1761
01:15:53,920 --> 01:15:54,520
Speaker 6: for everybody.

1762
01:15:54,800 --> 01:15:56,240
Speaker 2: Today's first say, you also got to go out there

1763
01:15:56,280 --> 01:15:58,360
Speaker 2: and break the huddle with Nick Chubb and I know

1764
01:15:58,400 --> 01:16:00,599
Speaker 2: you've seen him run the football and you think about, okay,

1765
01:16:00,600 --> 01:16:02,559
Speaker 2: oh they're worried about him too, and they got all

1766
01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:04,880
Speaker 2: these guys. Is there trying to be a little bit

1767
01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:07,679
Speaker 2: of excitement kind of in that offensive meeting room about okay,

1768
01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:09,840
Speaker 2: what we can do? And man, I know September is

1769
01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:11,519
Speaker 2: a long way away. We got building to do, but

1770
01:16:12,200 --> 01:16:13,840
Speaker 2: there's a lot of talent here, like no doubt.

1771
01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:15,960
Speaker 13: It definitely feels like a want two punts. You know,

1772
01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:18,599
Speaker 13: they definitely have to worry about him. You know, if

1773
01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:20,599
Speaker 13: you don't, we're just gonna run it one hundred times,

1774
01:16:20,720 --> 01:16:22,720
Speaker 13: you know. So, and he's gonna do his thing. You know,

1775
01:16:22,720 --> 01:16:24,519
Speaker 13: he's gonna stab his back and he has the utmost

1776
01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:26,479
Speaker 13: respect probably than any other back in the league. I

1777
01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:28,800
Speaker 13: feel as if so that's when he getting a jail

1778
01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:30,600
Speaker 13: well to get us open, you know. So I'm just

1779
01:16:30,600 --> 01:16:33,200
Speaker 13: super excited to have everybody have. I'm grateful to be here.

1780
01:16:33,320 --> 01:16:35,559
Speaker 2: How beneficial was that time you guys spend Puerto Rico

1781
01:16:35,560 --> 01:16:36,840
Speaker 2: because it feels like, guess came back.

1782
01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:38,519
Speaker 13: Like I said that the other day, I actually feel

1783
01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:40,760
Speaker 13: like it really really helped, you know, and really just

1784
01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:42,280
Speaker 13: in the locker room and being out here, you know,

1785
01:16:42,360 --> 01:16:44,639
Speaker 13: like usually I feel like sometimes teams are quiet.

1786
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,080
Speaker 6: What's the day Tuesday? You know, early in the week.

1787
01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:49,080
Speaker 13: Now, we had energy, you know, and it definitely showed it,

1788
01:16:49,439 --> 01:16:52,320
Speaker 13: you know translated. So I'm grateful for the Puerto Rico trip.

1789
01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:53,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a lot of fun in there, you

1790
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:56,120
Speaker 2: know what, different personalities, like you said, coming together and

1791
01:16:56,160 --> 01:16:58,200
Speaker 2: getting see it. Even in your room, you got Amari

1792
01:16:58,240 --> 01:17:01,200
Speaker 2: who's very quiet. Donovan Is it's quiet, but it borks.

1793
01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:04,080
Speaker 2: We've got you and the Marquise not quiet. I've heard

1794
01:17:04,160 --> 01:17:04,679
Speaker 2: him plenty.

1795
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:07,320
Speaker 6: I kind of like that juice though, which is really good.

1796
01:17:07,439 --> 01:17:09,960
Speaker 13: I feel like everybody's different, you know, and the skill

1797
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:12,840
Speaker 13: sets too, exactly, so it just jels well when everybody's different,

1798
01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:14,280
Speaker 13: you know, you you don't want the same type of

1799
01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:15,200
Speaker 13: people go on in one room.

1800
01:17:15,200 --> 01:17:16,840
Speaker 6: It's not really gonna jail, right, So.

1801
01:17:17,439 --> 01:17:19,080
Speaker 2: When you think about kind of as we mentioned, those

1802
01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:21,200
Speaker 2: different skill sets and now Chief is back as well.

1803
01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:23,080
Speaker 2: There's the play where you line up in the backfield

1804
01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:25,680
Speaker 2: the short motion in Marquise, they kind of both take

1805
01:17:25,720 --> 01:17:28,000
Speaker 2: off left, you end up in the flat nobody's there.

1806
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:30,120
Speaker 2: The mismatches that you guys are gonna be able to

1807
01:17:30,160 --> 01:17:34,280
Speaker 2: create with speed, size, with versatility, it feels like you're

1808
01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:36,240
Speaker 2: gonna be an idea, right is to put the opposing

1809
01:17:36,280 --> 01:17:38,080
Speaker 2: defense in a blunder. But you guys have an opportunity

1810
01:17:38,120 --> 01:17:38,360
Speaker 2: to do that.

1811
01:17:38,360 --> 01:17:40,880
Speaker 13: It feels like exactly, especially in that you know short

1812
01:17:40,920 --> 01:17:43,000
Speaker 13: area of feel you can't do nothing but worry about

1813
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:44,800
Speaker 13: when you see whole bunch of fast people, you gotta

1814
01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:46,439
Speaker 13: worry about it because you don't have that much room.

1815
01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:48,760
Speaker 13: And we're quick too, so it's like, you know, you

1816
01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:51,479
Speaker 13: see that mismatching. You know, you're gonna the song kind

1817
01:17:51,479 --> 01:17:52,600
Speaker 13: of take whatever.

1818
01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:52,840
Speaker 6: One he wants.

1819
01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:54,280
Speaker 2: Did you tell him listen if I'm gonna be in

1820
01:17:54,280 --> 01:17:56,120
Speaker 2: the backfield this much, maybe like the old miss days.

1821
01:17:56,120 --> 01:17:57,760
Speaker 2: Oh you're gonna throw it sometimes, maybe just hand it

1822
01:17:57,760 --> 01:17:59,320
Speaker 2: off to me, right, just give me a little.

1823
01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:01,040
Speaker 6: Let me get me that. Whatever it is, the score,

1824
01:18:01,120 --> 01:18:01,599
Speaker 6: I'm with it.

1825
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:04,080
Speaker 2: You're back there. I'm gonna be open. I'm gonna be opening.

1826
01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:06,519
Speaker 2: What's great because you have the ability you can go inside,

1827
01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:07,960
Speaker 2: you can go outside. We saw kind of that jerk

1828
01:18:08,040 --> 01:18:10,639
Speaker 2: route out there afterwards. It just I like to smile

1829
01:18:10,680 --> 01:18:11,920

Speaker 6: I'm definitely. I'm definitely blessed.

1835
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:21,120
Speaker 2: But if you kind of felt already what Cleveland Browns

1836
01:18:21,160 --> 01:18:21,960
Speaker 2: fans are all about.

1837
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:24,640
Speaker 13: My teammates remind me, you know, every single time we know,

1842
01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:37,000
Speaker 13: I'm gonna trust that, you know, so I'm very excited.

1843
01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:38,160
Speaker 2: What are you seeing from DeShawn?

1844
01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:41,479
Speaker 6: What did you say today? How many? How many completes?

1845
01:18:41,640 --> 01:18:43,519
Speaker 2: That was all of them in the first session and

1846
01:18:43,560 --> 01:18:47,000
Speaker 2: then the second session. Ten plays, nine touchdowns in the

1847
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:48,960
Speaker 2: red zone. Nine touchdowns on ten plays. This is a

1848
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:51,160
Speaker 2: good secondary, by the way, there's a good secondary.

1849
01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:51,919
Speaker 6: Great secondary.

1850
01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:52,080
Speaker 4: Man.

1851
01:18:52,080 --> 01:18:53,639
Speaker 6: You know, we stack in days. You know, it's practice.

1852
01:18:53,680 --> 01:18:55,760
Speaker 13: We be stacking days if we're killing them, and which

1853
01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:57,479
Speaker 13: is I feel like should be our best of phoning,

1854
01:18:57,680 --> 01:19:00,160
Speaker 13: you know, and practice. So if we're doing that to

1855
01:19:00,160 --> 01:19:01,240
Speaker 13: translate you know later on.

1856
01:19:01,320 --> 01:19:03,040
Speaker 2: So can you see his confidence?

1857
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:05,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, man, he's locked in.

1858
01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:07,760
Speaker 13: That's probably someone he smiles when he's on the side line,

1859
01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:09,879
Speaker 13: when when he's in the hudd and way's on the field.

1860
01:19:09,960 --> 01:19:11,320
Speaker 6: Slash straight face. You know.

1861
01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:13,360
Speaker 2: Also it feels like he's like, yeah, I can fit

1862
01:19:13,400 --> 01:19:15,200
Speaker 2: it in that window and then he's doing it.

1863
01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:16,760
Speaker 6: Exactly, which is kind of new for me.

1864
01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:19,400
Speaker 13: You know, I haven't really had that, you know, top

1865
01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:22,120
Speaker 13: of experience with people throwing it in and windows that

1866
01:19:22,240 --> 01:19:24,120
Speaker 13: you wouldn't really think that could fit right there, which

1867
01:19:24,160 --> 01:19:25,720
Speaker 13: is proud that he's supposed to try that.

1868
01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:27,719
Speaker 6: So I'm just you know, I'm just really really happy,

1869
01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:27,960
Speaker 6: you know.

1870
01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:30,400
Speaker 2: We're really happy to have you keep it going, Elijah.

1871
01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:32,080
Speaker 2: It's great seeing out there all the fun things that

1872
01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:33,920
Speaker 2: they're cooking up for you and then all the production

1873
01:19:33,920 --> 01:19:36,320
Speaker 2: you're putting out here. And I mean, I'm being selfish.

1874
01:19:36,320 --> 01:19:37,680
Speaker 2: I'd like to be summer, but he can't wish away

1875
01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:39,879
Speaker 2: at Cleveland summer. We only get the summer in Cleveland,

1876
01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:42,720
Speaker 2: and it right literally in the summer, so can't wish

1877
01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:43,840
Speaker 2: it away, but can't wait too. Do you do out

1878
01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:44,120
Speaker 2: there later?

1879
01:19:44,120 --> 01:19:45,240
Speaker 6: It's fall, Yes, sir, thank you.

1880
01:19:45,320 --> 01:19:47,720
Speaker 2: It is a passing camp. There's no doubt. But Elijah Moore,

1881
01:19:47,720 --> 01:19:49,680
Speaker 2: as I said, his stars shone bright. You ask a

1882
01:19:49,680 --> 01:19:51,559
Speaker 2: lot of people whether it was at the Browns table,

1883
01:19:51,720 --> 01:19:54,120
Speaker 2: and you're saying who stood out to you? Everybody, it

1884
01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:56,840
Speaker 2: was Deshaun Watson. It was Elijah Moore that that he

1885
01:19:57,080 --> 01:19:59,320
Speaker 2: was the star. Now we need the pads on, we

1886
01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:02,040
Speaker 2: need the games played, all of that. But Elijah Moore

1887
01:20:02,080 --> 01:20:05,960
Speaker 2: has a very special set of skills that will make

1888
01:20:06,040 --> 01:20:08,160
Speaker 2: him a valuable weapon for the Cleveland Browns. And I

1889
01:20:08,200 --> 01:20:10,200
Speaker 2: don't think it's long before. He is a guy that

1890
01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:12,880
Speaker 2: is a household name around the country for what he

1891
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:15,600
Speaker 2: is doing from a production standpoint with the Browns in

1892
01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:16,920
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, and then I think you look to

1893
01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:18,519
Speaker 2: the future, there's a good chance this guy coul end

1894
01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:20,920
Speaker 2: up being the Browns number one receiver going forward because

1895
01:20:20,920 --> 01:20:24,600
Speaker 2: he is that darn good when we come back, so

1896
01:20:24,720 --> 01:20:26,280
Speaker 2: much more to come, and we're gonna wrap it. When

1897
01:20:26,280 --> 01:20:29,120
Speaker 2: I say so much more, I mean large, a lot,

1898
01:20:29,560 --> 01:20:31,040
Speaker 2: big mountain of a man.

1899
01:20:31,120 --> 01:20:31,559
Speaker 3: That's right.

1900
01:20:31,720 --> 01:20:35,200
Speaker 2: Browns rookie defensive tackle saki Ika a pooh back when

1901
01:20:35,200 --> 01:20:38,360
Speaker 2: he made his Browns radio debut following his selection to

1902
01:20:38,479 --> 01:20:40,960
Speaker 2: the Cleveland Browns and the twenty twenty three NFL Draft

1903
01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:43,800
Speaker 2: were wrapping it up with siaki Eka next year on

1904
01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:45,920
Speaker 2: eight to fifty ESPN Cleveland.

1905
01:20:50,760 --> 01:20:53,719
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns Daily, brought to you by Bally bed coming

Speaker 1: soon to Ohio on an Cleveland.

1907
01:20:59,120 --> 01:21:02,160
Speaker 2: All right, folks, he is a big guy with a

1908
01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:05,839
Speaker 2: big smile and a big heart. New baby, newly married.

1909
01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:08,240
Speaker 2: Had a great barbecue. In fact, our good friend Big

1910
01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:11,400
Speaker 2: Drew got to go out there and feast at this barbecue.

1911
01:21:11,439 --> 01:21:13,360
Speaker 2: This festivities. There was a lot of stuff in there

1912
01:21:13,360 --> 01:21:15,439
Speaker 2: that he'd had before, some stuff he hadn't had before,

1913
01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:18,080
Speaker 2: but nonetheless a good time was had by all. And

1914
01:21:18,200 --> 01:21:20,200
Speaker 2: that's what he likes to do on the field. Siaki

1915
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:22,040
Speaker 2: likes to have fun, but he also likes to make

1916
01:21:22,120 --> 01:21:25,519
Speaker 2: life very difficult for opposing offenses. His ability to penetrate,

1917
01:21:25,560 --> 01:21:28,360
Speaker 2: his ability to push, his strength, his size, his speed.

1918
01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:31,600
Speaker 2: He is a relentless performer, and he's exactly what the

1919
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:33,479
Speaker 2: Browns need and adding some beef to the middle of

1920
01:21:33,479 --> 01:21:36,400
Speaker 2: that defensive line. Here's what Siakika had to say when

1921
01:21:36,400 --> 01:21:38,840
Speaker 2: he made his Browns radio debut with me shortly after

1922
01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:43,120
Speaker 2: being drafted by the Cleveland Browns. Siaki Eco, Welcome to Cleveland.

1927
01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:51,439
Speaker 2: to think, do a little bit of math here. I'm

1928
01:21:51,479 --> 01:21:53,600

01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:54,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, sure.

1955
01:22:55,760 --> 01:22:59,160
Speaker 2: So when is there somebody that you've modeled your play

1956
01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:01,080
Speaker 2: style after coming up? And I don't know if you

1957
01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:03,679
Speaker 2: know that Danny Shelton played here for the Cleveland Browns.

1958
01:23:03,680 --> 01:23:06,120
Speaker 2: But obviously the size makes it feel similar to me.

1959
01:23:06,200 --> 01:23:08,160
Speaker 2: But is anybody that you kind of model your game after?

1960
01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:11,920
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean right now, probably had to be sure.

1961
01:23:12,280 --> 01:23:13,240
Speaker 4: He's kind of just paid it.

1962
01:23:13,320 --> 01:23:17,120
Speaker 9: This whole new picture for our position, and you know,

1963
01:23:17,200 --> 01:23:19,479
Speaker 9: it's something I would love to be a part of,

1964
01:23:19,520 --> 01:23:21,880
Speaker 9: something I would you know, I'd love to be just

1965
01:23:21,960 --> 01:23:22,320
Speaker 9: like him.

01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:24,559
Speaker 2: I'm gonna watch for you dropping into zones and then

1967
01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:25,600

01:23:27,920 --> 01:23:27,960
Speaker 11: You.

1969
01:23:28,720 --> 01:23:31,960
Speaker 2: Let's aim high. Right, So you started LSU, you know,

01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:34,680
Speaker 2: Grant and Jacob obviously win a national championship. Pretty cool

1971
01:23:34,680 --> 01:23:36,800
Speaker 2: way to start your collegiate career. What was it like

1972
01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:38,560
Speaker 2: to being with those guys and now the opportunity to

1973
01:23:38,560 --> 01:23:40,720
Speaker 2: get back with guys? And I'm sure Jacob liked that

1974
01:23:40,760 --> 01:23:43,080
Speaker 2: you'd keep him clean at the second level, and same

1975
01:23:43,120 --> 01:23:43,559
Speaker 2: with Grant.

1976
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:48,000
Speaker 9: Uh, well man, it was that that year. That season

Speaker 9: job at you know, keeping everyone accountable, especially me. I

1983
01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:06,800
Speaker 9: was young, I was a freshman, you know, getting some

1984
01:24:06,800 --> 01:24:09,720
Speaker 9: playing time. So you know, they made sure I you know,

1985
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:11,760
Speaker 9: I was doing my job and you know it, you know,

1986
01:24:11,800 --> 01:24:14,320
Speaker 9: it forced me to be become a good player and

1987
01:24:14,640 --> 01:24:16,519
Speaker 9: you know, and I'm just glad to be here again

1988
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:18,280
Speaker 9: with them and you know, be able to play with

1989
01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:18,719
Speaker 9: them again.

1990
01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:21,200
Speaker 2: That had to be wild, right. You come from Utah

1991
01:24:22,160 --> 01:24:26,360
Speaker 2: to go into Louisiana now in the SEC, right, and

1992
01:24:27,160 --> 01:24:28,240
Speaker 2: that had to be kind of a little bit of

1993
01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:29,640
Speaker 2: a culture shock. So I'm sure it was kind of

1994
01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:31,960
Speaker 2: one of those processes where, yeah, probably did accelerate your

1995
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:34,000
Speaker 2: maturation or you talked about that at your press conference

1996
01:24:34,360 --> 01:24:38,559
Speaker 2: to say, like, let's go. Yeah, I mean it was.

1997
01:24:38,600 --> 01:24:40,439
Speaker 9: It was a lot and I was I was far

1998
01:24:40,479 --> 01:24:43,200
Speaker 9: away from home on my own for the first time

1999
01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:47,760
Speaker 9: on life. So I did grow up quite a bit.

2000
01:24:47,800 --> 01:24:50,720
Speaker 9: And I'm grateful for the experiences and everything because you know,

2001
01:24:50,760 --> 01:24:51,920
Speaker 9: it's brought me here today.

2002
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:54,719
Speaker 2: So sure, so you go and you follow your coach

2003
01:24:54,840 --> 01:24:57,760
Speaker 2: right to Baylor Big twelve, Newcomer of the Year, first

2004
01:24:57,800 --> 01:24:59,679
Speaker 2: Team All Big Twelve the first year you're there, first

2005
01:24:59,680 --> 01:25:02,799
Speaker 2: Team All Big twelve again this year going to Baylor,

2006
01:25:03,040 --> 01:25:05,120
Speaker 2: what was that experience like? And you know, a lot

2007
01:25:05,120 --> 01:25:07,600
Speaker 2: of spread out offense, there's topically not. This isn't the

2008
01:25:07,600 --> 01:25:09,120
Speaker 2: Big ten where they're gonna line up and run the

2009
01:25:09,160 --> 01:25:11,320
Speaker 2: ball between the tackles at you. But you were still

2010
01:25:11,320 --> 01:25:13,080
Speaker 2: able to make plays a lot of pressures. And you've

2011
01:25:13,080 --> 01:25:14,840
Speaker 2: talked so much about how you're run stopper. But I'm

2012
01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:17,360
Speaker 2: gonna give you some credit here. Thirty pressures on the quarterback.

2013
01:25:17,400 --> 01:25:19,439
Speaker 2: You're two years there, That was tied I think the

2014
01:25:19,439 --> 01:25:22,479
Speaker 2: second most amongst all interior defensive line like Zero's ones

2015
01:25:22,560 --> 01:25:25,479
Speaker 2: or two techniques. Pretty press So you can push the pocket,

2016
01:25:25,479 --> 01:25:27,240
Speaker 2: get around the quarterback as well, So don't sell yourself

2017
01:25:27,240 --> 01:25:27,639
Speaker 2: short there.

2018
01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:30,000
Speaker 4: Appreciate it. Thank you, I mean I tried to.

2019
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:34,559
Speaker 9: I love getting after the pastor just as much as

2020
01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:37,000
Speaker 9: I like stup in somebody on fourth and one. So

2021
01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:40,800
Speaker 9: I definitely am excited to get here, and you know,

2022
01:25:42,040 --> 01:25:43,080
Speaker 9: proved I could do more.

2023
01:25:43,840 --> 01:25:45,400
Speaker 2: Well, I know you have a new best friend or

2024
01:25:45,479 --> 01:25:47,920
Speaker 2: you want to I want to, yeah in miles. Yeah,

2025
01:25:47,960 --> 01:25:50,559
Speaker 2: but listen, you push the pocket and you don't give

2026
01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:52,880
Speaker 2: the quarterback anywhere to go, and he starts racking up

2027
01:25:52,880 --> 01:25:54,840
Speaker 2: even more sex than he already does. You're gonna be

2028
01:25:54,880 --> 01:25:57,360
Speaker 2: his best friend, right, sure, for sure it works hand

2029
01:25:57,360 --> 01:25:59,200
Speaker 2: in hand doesn't it though, the guy's on the interior,

2030
01:25:59,200 --> 01:26:01,040
Speaker 2: Like you can obviously get to the quarterback yourself, but

2031
01:26:01,040 --> 01:26:04,080
Speaker 2: if you can limit his ability to move, then the

2032
01:26:04,080 --> 01:26:05,439
Speaker 2: guys around the edge can go there and.

2033
01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:09,080
Speaker 9: Get Yeah, for sure, definitely complimentary football, I mean inside

2034
01:26:09,080 --> 01:26:13,479
Speaker 9: and outside. Our coaches in college you say, you know,

2035
01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:15,360
Speaker 9: it takes four to get a sack, you know, so

2036
01:26:15,400 --> 01:26:18,040
Speaker 9: it takes all of us doing our job to you know,

2037
01:26:18,600 --> 01:26:19,519
Speaker 9: get the job done.

2038
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:22,960
Speaker 2: What's clear is with these newcomers, a lot of talent obviously,

2039
01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:26,000
Speaker 2: and whether we're talking coaches with Jim Schwartz or Bubba Ventrom,

2040
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:27,840
Speaker 2: whether we're talking players you know with a vet like

2041
01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:30,280
Speaker 2: Elijah Moore or a rookie set or Tillman's yaki Eka.

2042
01:26:30,280 --> 01:26:32,519
Speaker 2: The first two guys, we chose a bunch of good guys,

2043
01:26:32,560 --> 01:26:34,360
Speaker 2: a bunch of people that are very easy to root for,

2044
01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:37,479
Speaker 2: a bunch of people that are obviously committed to winning.

2045
01:26:37,640 --> 01:26:39,559
Speaker 2: While Thornhill I would add to that group as well

2046
01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:41,479
Speaker 2: as one of the veteran editions that we heard from today,

2047
01:26:41,800 --> 01:26:44,240
Speaker 2: Just people who understand what it takes, but also guys

2048
01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:46,720
Speaker 2: who are hungry to help do whatever it cakes and

2049
01:26:46,840 --> 01:26:48,720
Speaker 2: have that big smile on their face while they're doing,

2050
01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:50,840
Speaker 2: ready to work, enjoying the work, and trying to be

2051
01:26:50,880 --> 01:26:53,160
Speaker 2: a part of what should be a winning football team

2052
01:26:53,160 --> 01:26:55,720
Speaker 2: here with the Cleveland Browns in twenty twenty three. So

2053
01:26:55,760 --> 01:26:57,680
Speaker 2: it's obviously it was not just about talent. It was

2054
01:26:57,720 --> 01:27:00,519
Speaker 2: about talent, personality, culture, all of it. It feels like

2055
01:27:00,560 --> 01:27:03,559
Speaker 2: Andrew Berry hit a home run this offseason with these

2056
01:27:03,920 --> 01:27:06,759
Speaker 2: newcomers to the Cleveland Browns, as well as Kevin Sefancy

2057
01:27:06,760 --> 01:27:09,840

Speaker 2: July tenth, and then guess what the following week that conclusion,

2061
01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:24,439
Speaker 2: we're going to the Greenbrier. So we're getting close, folks here,

2062
01:27:24,520 --> 01:27:26,000
Speaker 2: No need to rush it. We're all gonna enjoy it.

2063
01:27:26,040 --> 01:27:28,640
Speaker 2: We're gonna take our time, but we're getting close. So
