44
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,280

00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: being able to meet new guys. Um. Like I said before,

58
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: it's like, uh, it's like your first day on college campus,

59
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: meeting all all the other freshmen and all the players

60
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: on the team. Uh. And then it's like, you know,

61
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: being drafted all over again going to a new team.

62
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: So it's it's that type of experience which is always

63
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: a good experience, you know. So you have been in

64
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: with the Raiders, with Cowboys, now with the Cleveland Browns,

65
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: and I would say, someone would say, oh, you've been

66
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: trade twice. I look at us. You have three teams

67
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: who have said we need to have you on our roster.

68
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: Right Drafted by the Raiders, Cowboys said we're gonna puny

69
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: up quite a bit bring you to Dallas. The Browns

70
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: saying we're gonna puony up. We're gonna get you here

71
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: to Cleveland. That's kind of unique, right, You've never been

72
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: a free agent three teams though, and every time somebody

73
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: says we want you and you're gonna come in and

74
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: be a big part of what we're gonna do here. Yeah, yeah,

75
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: never been a free agent. Um. But yeah, I mean

76
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: it's it's it's cool, like I liken it to. Like

77
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: when I was young, the only opportunity had to travel

78
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: when I played a U basketball. But we were fortunate

79
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: enough to win a championship in football. We will start

80
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: playing out of town too to win the Nationals, and

81
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: then track like you keep qualifying, you start participating in

82
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: regional events and dan eventually nationals. Uh. And so it's

83
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: the same thing like being in the NFL, Like I'm

84
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: getting an opportunity to see the world, you know, through

85
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: through sports. So I mean that's a that's a that's

86
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: a great feeling. But as far as the football aspect,

87
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't ever grow up and say, hey,

88
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: I want to play for this team, I want to

89
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: play with that team. I go up and said, um,

90
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: I want to be in the NFL, you know what

91
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: I mean. So that was my dream. Uh. And it's

92
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: it's such a great feeling to be a part of

93
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: three now very story franchises. You know. I don't know

94
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: if anybody has had, like been able to be a

95
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: part of three more iconic uniforms either. Yeah, especially now

96
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: we got ours back to the traditional one. But you

97
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: think about the silver and black and anything about the

98
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: Cowboys and now the Browns, that's pretty cool. Yeah, it is,

99
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: like I said, I mean, it's a blessing. I don't

100
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: really have anything to complain about. I mean, people always

101
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: ask me all the time, like, hey, Coop, how are

102
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: you doing? How you've been? Like, I can't I can't

103
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: really complain about about much. So when you come here,

104
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: and as you said, it's like you gotta start over.

105
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: You know, you're a pro Bowl or You've got a

106
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: thousand yards seasons under your belt, You've got a great resume.

107
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: What's that kind of like coming into a new locker

108
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: room where there's a lot of guys in here who

109
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: probably look up to It's a young receiver room, so

110
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: there a lot of guys who probably watched you growing up,

111
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 1: wanted to be like am are Cooper, and then now

112
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: here you are in the room with them. Yeah. I mean,

113
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: you know, one of the main things at this point

114
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: in my career is just constantly improving. You know, you

115
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: never arrived. You never want to be in the same place.

116
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: And I think I have a lot to build on.

117
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: I think I still have a lot to prove. Uh

118
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: got a lot left in the tank. But more importantly,

119
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: I don't I think I could put together more complete seasons.

120
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: Well I know I can. I know I have the

121
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: ability to, and you know it's the perfect place to

122
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: do it. As far as God on the team, you know,

123
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: like the time spending the NFL goes about really fast.

124
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: I'm already in my Yeah, I'm already in my eighth

125
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: my eighth season, and is that crazy? It is crazy,

126
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: and you don't quite you don't quite understand it until

127
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: you look up and you're like, wait, is this this

128
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: is year eight? Like it's a long time. And so, um,

129
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: I do understand now, like when I am sitting in

130
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: one place that you know, some of these guys when

131
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: I was drafted or my last year in college, these

132
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: guys like in middle school and stuff. So just like

133
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: how I looked up to guys like you know, Reggie Bush,

134
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: Percy Harvan and all those Michael Crabtree when I was

135
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: in high school when they were in college, or when

136
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: I was in middle school and they were in college.

137
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: And it's the same way with me. And um, you know,

138
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: some guys will outright saying some guys will be more

139
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: reserved about it, but I understand that's my responsibility to,

140
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: you know, help those guys grow as a veteran. So yeah,

141
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: So the first time I got to see you play

142
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 1: in the National Football League, you came the First Energy

143
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 1: Stadium your rookie season and I'm pretty sure. I don't

144
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,799
Speaker 1: know if I have this exactly right, but in my mind,

145
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: you caught like five balls for seven yards just on

146
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: the opening drive. You ended up having a very good

147
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: game against Joe Hayden, and I remember watching you and

148
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: I remember saying to myself, oh my god, this guy

149
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: can create separation. Your routes were so crisp, so precise,

150
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: and it was one of those things where you're just like,

151
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: all right, we're just gonna go one on one right

152
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: down the field. And you obviously on that day, that

153
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: was a great day for you when people talk about

154
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: you as being a great route runner. First of all,

155
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: let's up with us. Do you have any memories of

156
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: being here at First Energy Stadium in that game in particular?

157
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: Of course? Of course, um, I think that was my

158
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: third football game in NFL. That's why it was early

159
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: in your rookie year. Yea year, And obviously, like you always,

160
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: I want to test yourself against the best. And you know,

161
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: at that time, Joe Hayden was easily top three cornerback,

162
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: you know, and without a doubt, I want to try, yeah,

163
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: and he had all the tools, you know, quick, but

164
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: he also was able to use his hands, great ball

165
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: skills saw him lock up a lot of the top

166
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: receivers in the league. So it was really a test

167
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: for me. And you know, it told me early on,

168
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: like hey were throwing you the ball, the first player

169
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: he's gonna be on you go make a play. And

170
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: so I just I caught that first ball, and he

171
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: gave me all the confidence in the world that I

172
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: can consistently beat him. But I would be remiss if

173
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: I would say it was easy. You know, he got

174
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: his hands on me a lot, and I just, yeah,

175
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: I just so happened to like win at the top

176
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: of the route. So it wasn't easy by any strategy

177
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: of imagination. But that's what it's about. That's the competition

178
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: that that we live for as a as wideous and

179
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna get that competition in practice. You got on

180
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: this roster. Denzel ward To just signed a nice contract,

181
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: making him the highest paid corner in the league. And

182
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: you guys have gone against each other in the league.

183
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: They've got Greg Newsome, last year's first round pick, you know,

184
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: Greedy Williams, former second round er. So a lot of

185
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: talent in that corner room. Do you get you get

186
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: excited for that stuff and listening you we're gonna geinst

187
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: Diggs last year down there in Dallas. You get excited

188
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: to kind of have some of those matchups and training

189
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: camp that iron sharpens iron. Yeah, Zavy would just say

190
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: two words. I'm a mom. Iron sharpens iron um And

191
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 1: like I said, constantly improve. You can't improve. You're not

192
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: going to hint. You know you're not going to get

193
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: the best competition. If you're constantly going to get somebody

194
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: who you're ten times better than in practice, it's not

195
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: gonna always be that way in the game. So I'm

196
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: fortunate to be here to have such such a good

197
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: secondary to go against make the games a little bit

198
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: easier for me. When you hear the best route runner

199
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: in the league, what does that mean to you and

200
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: what do you think it is that you do or

201
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: that the work that you put in that allows you

202
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: to be that consistent, that good and to create the

203
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: separation which is ultimately the key to play in your

204
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: position and catching the football obviously, but it doesn't matter

205
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 1: if I can throw up to you if you're not

206
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 1: creating separation. Yeah, I mean, it's one of the best

207
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: compliments you can have as a wide receiver, no doubt,

208
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: you know, in terms of getting open because I mean,

209
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: you create that separation, you make the quarterbacks job a

210
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 1: hundred times easier, you know. Um, you just have to

211
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: be on the same page. Wouldn't let them know, like

212
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: this is how I'm going to run certain routes because

213
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: it's not all not always how it is on paper,

214
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: you know. So No, it's a it's a great compliment, um.

215
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: And I understand that a lot of guys when it

216
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: comes to that aspect of wide receiver, they look to

217
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: me too, um when they when they're trying to get

218
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: better at that particular thing. So yeah, initial impressions of

219
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: Chato share your wide receiver coach, where we love Chad

220
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 1: here on this program. He's been in the league for

221
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: a very long time and very successful at it. And

222
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: I think probably demanding but very fair, and I know

223
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: he's thrilled to have you here. Yeah, that's what I'm

224
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: getting from him. To demanding but very fair. It seems

225
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 1: like he really understands what it's like to be a

226
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: wide receiver in this league. Obviously, he's been in the

227
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: league a long time and one of the things I

228
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: like about him, just initially is he understands, like, there's

229
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: more than one way to skin a cat. Like we

230
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: were talking yesterday just about a slat route you know,

231
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: very uh simple route uh from outside looking in, But

232
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: he understands, Hey, depending on what type of guy you are,

233
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: depending on what type of skills that you have, you

234
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: can run it a whole bunch of different ways and

235
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 1: still win. And that's what you know. That's what I

236
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: try to get people to understand all the time, because

237
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: you know, some coaches will come in and outright one

238
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 1: you to kind of be a robot, you know, um,

239
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 1: which is you know, it's not good. Yeah, it restricts you.

240
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: But I think one of the things that stuck out

241
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: with me is he said, hey, you have to understand

242
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks drop. So if he has just quick game

243
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: one step or three step uh five step, seven step drop,

244
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: you have to make your routes marry up to that.

245
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: And I think I'm pretty good at that. And so

246
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: as long as I get my depth on a route,

247
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 1: um and everything like that, I can make your time

248
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: up to the quarterbacks drop. Like I won't be too early,

249
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: I won't be too late, but I will be creative

250
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 1: so that I can get over I love that. And

251
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: part of that you mentioned it comes with building the chemistry.

252
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: And you're here, Deshaun is here. What's it like getting

253
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,719
Speaker 1: to meet your new quarterback and start to build that

254
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,599
Speaker 1: chemistry so that becomes kind of second nature and you

255
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: guys are seeing through things through the same eyes. He's

256
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: a great quarterback man. He's done a lot in this

257
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: league already. Um, but you're talking through some things, running

258
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 1: some routes, and I think he understands. He understands that,

259
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: you know different different guys are gonna run route is

260
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: different ways. Hey, as long as long as the time's up, Um,

261
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: he's cool with it. As long as you can prove

262
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 1: to him that you're gonna get open, he's cool with it.

263
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: He's very flexible in that way, which is a great

264
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: thing to have between what receiver in the quarterback and

265
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: how much doesn't help receiver ne Quarbac who is accurate

266
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: because he puts it where it needs to be so hey,

267
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: that you can get the catch for me. The guy's

268
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: career sixty eight points on percent completions. But that leads

269
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,599
Speaker 1: to that leads to hit me and stride so you

270
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: can make plays and be the playmaker. Allo it's very important.

271
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a symbiotic relationship between the receiver and

272
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Like I said earlier, Um, I get open,

273
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: I make a quarterbacks job a hundred times easier. But

274
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: the reality of the situation is, I'm not gonna be

275
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: open every single time like the other guy. Like you

276
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 1: just said, we just signed the highest paid corn in

277
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: the league. Like those guys get too they're good. Um,

278
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: So sometimes I'm I'm not gonna get as much separation,

279
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: and that's when the accuracy comes into play. Hey, I

280
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: didn't get enough separation on this play. But if he

281
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: can throw it on my outside shoulder, my inside shoulder,

282
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: and that's where you have to that's where your other

283
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: skills at wide receiver come into play. Hey, the route

284
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: didn't really work out. I wanted it to. But hey

285
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: am I am I coming all the way back to

286
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: the ball and I do. I have strong hands, um,

287
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: and so that's where that's where the accuracy comes into play. Quiet, confident, professional.

288
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: I think those are the words that you could use

289
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: to describe a Marii Cooper, a guy who has done

290
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: it at a very high level for a long time.

291
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,120

370
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: bit of everything. But I think I think my my

371
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: main focus was, um, you know, putting on good good

372
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,399

Speaker 1: It's my numbers have gone up a lot substantially. Actually, Um,

377
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: I even do stuff. I'm like, I don't even know

378
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: I could do that now, Hey, I guess it's working.

379
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 1: So um. And then just keeping my weight up, trying

380
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: to you know, get my nutrition right. Um, you know,

381
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: timing my meals and eating what you know, the necessary

382
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: calories to replace you know, all that work he gets

383
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 1: done in the morning. So um, yeah, I know we've

384
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 1: had a good we've had a good plan going. Um,

385
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: and a lot of just core work. You know that

386
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: core stability where especially at that position is is key,

387
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 1: you know, dealing with those big eyes in there. So um,

388
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's been it's been good. It's been real good.

389
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: And I and I'm reaping the benefits. So he's gotta

390
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: keep it going really until you know, until football stuff starts.

391
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: But remember when you when we drafted you, and you know,

392
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: Z has pretty good ear for what's going on in

393
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: the building, and and we were on the air talking

394
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: and Z goes, uh, they really like Nick. They really

395
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 1: like Nick. And and that's I'll never forget that and

396
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: and so you know the way that that your felt

397
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: about in the building. But you this is part of

398
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: the deal too. You have to bide your time, and

399
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: you've been you know, you've had to come in you

400
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 1: field in admirably. UM, and now it appears like your

401
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: moment is here now a little bit. UM. How tough

402
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,239
Speaker 1: was it not playing all the time for someone who

403
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: plaid played all the time, And how excited are you

404
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: for an opportunity that now could present. Honestly, it was

405
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: a good learning, you know process with not playing immediately,

406
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: especially playing behind somebody like j C, who's who does

407
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 1: this so consistently, and the way he goes about the

408
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: mental side of the game, and it's and how he

409
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: plays the game. He plays the game tremendous level. I

410
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: I think I think he you know, he was a

411
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: good person to learn behind. UM. So I didn't. I didn't.

412
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: I had no negative feelings. Stores I honestly enjoyed it

413
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: because I got to get the swing of the NFL's life,

414
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: NFL schedule. UM, I got to learn my body how

415
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 1: I respond to certain things, um, whether that's recovery wise,

416
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: whether that's you know, in the weight room. I learned

417
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: a lot about, you know, just football in general, especially

418
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: with coach Callahan and being behind j C. You see

419
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: how they how they talk in meetings and the you know,

420
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: the vernacular they used to explain certain things and that

421
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: stuff that I wasn't you know, made aware of, um

422
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: of just how they explained the game from that position.

423
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 1: So I learned a lot in that aspect um. But no,

424
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: I did. I didn't take it as a negative at all. No, honestly,

425
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: just having just being here, you know, just having an

426
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: opportunity to play in the league, um is you know,

427
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: a blessing in itself, you know. So, I mean it

428
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: was you know, obviously there's times like damn, like I

429
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: wish I was in there right now, but it's like,

430
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,479
Speaker 1: you know, you you this is part of the process,

431
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: part of the journey. You just you know, learn and

432
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: then when you get your opportunity now, you know it's time,

433
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: it's time to go. And I feel like this is

434
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: the you know, a perfect a perfect time for me

435
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 1: to you know, you know, let it let it loose now.

436
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 1: So that's all. I've been here the whole time trying

437
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 1: to get ready, but no, and it's been it's been great.

438
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: So far, it's been great. And we got a good

439
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: room of guys that I can learn from. And you

440
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: know we got I mean, you know, Joel Jack, Autos, dudes, Wyatt,

441
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: you know there are there's all something from every one

442
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 1: of them that I can learn from. Um so I

443
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: try and you know, pull things from each of them.

444
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 1: And you know, it's been a good experience so far.

445
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: For sure, you got all pros all around you when

446
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: exactly exactly so you're you know, you go from being

447
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 1: back to back all pac twelfth Center. I think one

448
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: of the reasons I remember, and I might not have

449
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: this exactly right, so I pologized, but I think you

450
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: allowed like one pressure and years. Yes that's something like that,

451
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: maybe zero zero one or two somewhere, but it's not

452
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 1: a lot, not a lot. So you go from that,

453
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: you get to learn and j C's and iron Man

454
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,200

00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: into that and think, Okay, this is my opportunity to

458
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: show them everything I've learned in two years. You did

459
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: not allow with pressure We ran for I want to

460
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: say nine yards in that game, we pulled you from

461
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: center a couple of times on some big runs. What

462
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: did that game mean to you and what was kind

463
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: of the immediate feedback you got from that game? Yeah,

464
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: I mean I didn't learn that. I was, you know not.

465
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: I mean I was starting until the Friday. Well I

466
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: guess we played Saturday, so that was Thursday, Yeah, two

467
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: days before. Um, but I mean I I felt prepared,

468
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: That's the big thing. There was no panic, you know,

469
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: because I take a lot of reps in practice, and

470
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: you know, I've been here for two years. You know,

471
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: I wasn't there was like all right, well, I mean

472
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: it's time now, Like you got all those trainings year,

473
00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 1: and I think you got a lot second year as well. Yeah,

474
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: and then even you know throughout the year and stuff,

475
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: so you know, yeah, you get you get a lot

476
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: of reps. So um, it was more like I was

477
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: I was just ready, Like I'm like, all right, a

478
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: little that's let's do it, you know. Um. But I

479
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: mean that's just a testament to you know, Coach Callahan

480
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: and Coach Peters and stuff, and how we you know,

481
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: how we prepare a practice and you know how we

482
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: prepare an old line room. So, um, obviously I was excited.

483
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: I didn't tell anybody, and I think the only person

484
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: I told my mom, just so she like was like,

485
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: why did you tell me? But I didn't tell none

486
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: of my friends nothing, because you know, I just wanted

487
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: to act. I got been there before, you know, I

488
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: just wanted to, you know, portray myself as you know,

489
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: a professional and go out there and just do my

490
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: job and then you know, carry on, whether you know,

491
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: carry on however the you know, the game turned out.

492
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: I just wanted to perform, and that's you know, that

493
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 1: was the key. Um, did I give you a lot

494
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: of confidence the way that you did perform? I would

495
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: I'll be lying if I said it didn't, but you

496
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: know it definitely. There was definitely a moment where in

497
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 1: the game where I was like, okay, like I'm supposed

498
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: to be here, you know, and because obviously you know,

499
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 1: you're not playing for the first two years, you're just

500
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 1: see you know, I don't you know, like this is

501
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: the only exactly, so when I got in that center,

502
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: I just felt comfortable, like I was like, oh this

503
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: is yeah, I like this, you know what I'm saying.

504
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: I was excited, and um, obviously unfortunately didn't win the game.

505
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: But you know, I learned a lot just about how,

506
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: you know, how I processed the game speed at that position.

507
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: I learned, um, just how to be on even on

508
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: the sideline, you know, having that those those conversations with

509
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: Bill after drives, you know how you know how that

510
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: how that goes, and you know, being able to talk

511
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: about what I see out there because you know, when

512
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: you're not playing, you hear the discussions, but you know,

513
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: once you're playing, you're sitting down on the side or

514
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: what do you like or you know how you know,

515
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: how's everything going? And he looks that give you trouble?

516
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: You know, it felt good to be in it. It

517
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: felt good to be you know, a part of that.

518
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: You know. So, um, it was a great experience and

519
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 1: I'm I'm glad I got the opportunity. Um, but yeah,

520
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 1: I'm it just made me more excited. I want to

521
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: do that again. Yeah, exactly exactly has it your experience.

522
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: I'm thinking I'm listening to you and you you think

523
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: about j C. And you've mentioned Bill of course in

524
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: Joel and Wyatt. It's kind of a little bit like

525
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: a grad school master class and offensive line play what

526
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: you've been exposed to the last couple of years A

527
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 1: hundred percent. And that's why I was saying, I have

528
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: no negatives about it, because I all I all I

529
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: gained was knowledge I gained, you know, um practice reps

530
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: with those guys, learning hear them, how they do things,

531
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 1: how they talk, you know, how they how they even

532
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: off the how they recover. You know what they do

533
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: in their off time to keep their mind you know,

534
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: stimulated but yet rested from football and stuff. You know,

535
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: you learn all those things from the from the behind,

536
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: you know, behind the scenes, so exactly, I mean it's

537
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: a master class. You know, you got the you know,

538
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: you got the best of everybody out there. So you know,

539
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: I learned, I learned a lot. For sure. You're behind

540
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: j C. And j C's nflp A president. He's I

541
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: think one of the most underrated centers in the league

542
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:03,959
Speaker 1: in the fact that he deserves Pro Bowls and all

543
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: Pro recognitions. I think, so you learned behind him, and

544
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,719
Speaker 1: then you get this is not all you know an

545
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: understanding of the business of it, right is that it's

546
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: he's played tremendous football. But now you were drafted for

547
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: this moment, and they showed him in Green Bay that

548
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: you could handle this. Did he say anything to you

549
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: on his way? I'm sure he's very proud of you.

550
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: He understands how it all works, and he's probably you're

551
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: probably getting this opportunity. Yeah. Yeah, he reached out to

552
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: me and you know, just told me, no, enjoy it

553
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: and um, if I ever needed anything, no, let him know.

554
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: And that means a lot, you know, because obviously anybody

555
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: could take how this goes anyway they any way they

556
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: want to. But you know, just hearing him say that,

557
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: and he showed me that, you know, he he knew

558
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 1: how he helped me, and he we understood our relationship,

559
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 1: like even out in the practice, feel him just helping

560
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: me with stuff like he understood. You know, he knows

561
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: how this works. I mean he's a consummate pro, you know,

562
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: so he understood, and you know it felt good for

563
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 1: him to just be like, hey, if you ever needed that,

564
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: you reach out, And that means a lot, you know

565
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So yeah, I mean he's you know,

566
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: like he said, he's I think he's a hundred percent

567
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 1: is one of the more underrated players at that position

568
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: without a doubt. I think just the fact that he

569
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: plays all the time, it doesn't miss time, and you

570
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: never hear his name, so like that's a good thing,

571
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: especially at that position. Um so, yeah, I mean it was.

572
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: It was definitely, you know, bitter sweet, you know, because

573
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: I did learn a lot from him, and he was

574
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: a you know, a good dude out there just teaching

575
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: me things and showing me a little tricks. And you know,

576
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: he's a funny dude too, Like it is a humor.

577
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: You know, we just had good time. So it's like

578
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: it was a bitter sweet. But you know, like you said,

579
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,959
Speaker 1: I mean, it is the business unfortunately. So yeah, yea.

580
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: I think you guys have a great room and time

581
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: to get you. I mean that that offensive line group,

582
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: it's good person out. How's the shuffle board game for you?

583
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I know that something Joel is on it

584
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: down there. I know I haven't, but I used to

585
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: play a little bit at Washington. We had one upstairs.

586
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: They used feel a little bout very good. You got

587
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: to find a good partner, that's scout, the partner in

588
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 1: the center. You have to be cerebral out there, the partner.

589
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: And then and then get it out there, So kind

590
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 1: of take us through. You know, we're about to get

591
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: into the O T, A S and all of that

592
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: kind of what's your mindset, what's your game plan here

593
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: for the next couple of months before we actually get

594
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 1: to take the field and get into the first where

595
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: you actually get to have an O T A organized

596
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: team activity out there. Right. No, I think I think

597
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: the main thing is just you know, getting everybody back

598
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,679
Speaker 1: in here, um, everybody around each other, just building relationships

599
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: at the same time, you know, coming here to work,

600
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:38,439
Speaker 1: I think is the most important part. UM. I think personally, UM,

601
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: to continue what I'm doing in a way room because

602
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,239
Speaker 1: obviously that's a you know, a huge part of that. Um,

603
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: you know, this part of the program. So just continue

604
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: growing in there, continue you know, getting my body right. Um.

605
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: And then once we get meetings and stuff starting, you know,

606
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: locking in on the playbook and you know, being able

607
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: to get back out on the field with the coaches

608
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 1: and stuff. So that should be good. But I think

609
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 1: I think it's a good time for everybody just to

610
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 1: jail everybody, just to get back into it. You know,

611
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: everybody gets in here, they're all exciting and stuff, so

612
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: they can say whatever they want, but you know, once

613
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 1: you get here, see all the boys, everything I got

614
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: you proud to be here, You're gonna be fired up.

615
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: And now one of the most important relationships on the

616
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 1: field is the center quarterback relationship. And so that's gonna

617
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: be an opportunity for you talk to Deshan and we

618
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: got Jakobe and Josh Dobbs coming in as well to

619
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: kind of build those relationships. That's something you're looking forward

620
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: to and and kind of getting that going right. Yeah,

621
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 1: you know, I think when you know the center and

622
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: the quarterback, like you said, that's a it's a crucial

623
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: relationship because you have to be able to see everything

624
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: the same when it comes to like a protection as point,

625
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: when it comes to you know, just how the game

626
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: is going. I think, um, it is is very important.

627
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean this time will be huge for that,

628
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: you know, just being out there on the field and

629
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: just even just snapping just to just that alone, UM

630
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: can go a long way. So I think I think

631
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: it will be definitely beneficial for sure. A little bit

632
00:28:51,680 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: of talent on this offense, no, yeah, not too bad, alright, buddy.

633
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: Coming up next to the special edition of Cleveland Brown's Daily.

638
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: really wanted to improve this offseason was special teams, and

639
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: so they bring in a couple of new punters. They

640
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: go in the draft and in the fourth round they

641
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: select Kid York out of l s U. But what

642
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: they really wanted to do as well was get this

643
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: return game going. Who better than Jachem Grant. The guy

644
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: scored a return touchdown in four straight seasons. He has

645
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,680

646
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,520

647
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: Bowl returner just a year ago, and the Browns brought

648
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: him in here to Cleveland. And not only can he

649
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: help you as a return he can do some things

650
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: as a receiver. He was in Miami with our wide

651
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: receivers coach chat Osha. We'll talk about that and much

652
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: much more with my pre random working on coming up

653
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: right now, my one on one with Pro Bowl returner

654
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: Jachem Grant. Pro Bowl returner, wide receiver Jachim Grant. Let's

655
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: just start there, Pro Bowl returner. When you found out

656
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: last year that you were going to the Pro Bowl,

657
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's one of the things when you think

658
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: about you, I'm gonna play the game. Man, I love

659
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: to be in a Pro Bowl someday. What was that like? Um?

660
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: It was? Man, it worst can't explain it. It was

661
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: very exciting, especially with being not making it the year before.

662
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: And I was all probably the year before and I

663
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: was like, I mean, what else do I need to

664
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: do to make it to the Pro Bowl. And so

665
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: when they told when Coach Snaggy told me, I was like,

666
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: oh my God, Like, man, this is like a dream

667
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: come true. And so, um when I got there, I

668
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: was like and then they told me, hey, you're not

669
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: gonna be catching points of probo I was like, Okay,

670
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: so now what what do I do now? But man,

671
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: it was it was a dream country. I feeling. It

672
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: was amazing, especially with just being there in the atmosphere

673
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: and knowing that you have fans outside of just the

674
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears fans, everybody that look up to you. I was, man,

675
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: it was. It was a great feeling. By the pros.

676
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: Nothing done. Yeah, yeah, that's a pretty good thing as well.

677
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: So you decided, Hey, I'm gonna bring my skills to

678
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns. The Browns watching, How did this kind

679
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: of process come together? Um? Cleveland were very aggressive and

680
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: I've been looking at them for the longest and they

681
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: needed a returner and I was just like, especially at

682
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: especially with receivers. To UM, I was just like, no

683
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: better fitting. And also it was just easy option and

684
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: so UM. I love the coaches, you know, CEOs Here

685
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: chadow Shay. I had them in Miami. I had a

686
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: great relationship with him. So that was another reason why

687
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: I came. And I was just like, man, why not,

688
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: you know? And I heard it about just the people

689
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: in the room and just how what they're about, and

690
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:53,479
Speaker 1: I was just like, man, that's what I'm about too.

691
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: And so man, check off every check check box on

692
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: my list. So I was just I'm a Brown now.

693
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: But we love that because it's easy when you go,

694
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: when you watch your you're an electric factor. I don't

695
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: know if they've hit you with the stats. So the

696
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: last Brown's punt return touchdown was two thousand, fifteen. The

697
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: last Brown's kick return touchdown was two thousand and nine,

698
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: the Great Josh Crib. So it has been a while

699
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: and I was looking, you have six return touchdowns on

700
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: your resume. You gotta you've had it either a kick

701
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: or a punt four straight years. Right, how do you

702
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: do it? Man? They've changed the rules. You're not supposed

703
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: to be able to do this. I mean, if they

704
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: kick it to me, they're gonna pay. That's that's that's

705
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: my whole thing. It's like, it's either you kick it

706
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: out of bounds or I'm going to the crib. And so, um,

707
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: definitely going to change that this year. Um, I'm not

708
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: banking on just getting one. I'm banking on getting a multiple. So,

709
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,959
Speaker 1: I mean they know that, they know if they kick

710
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: it to me. They've seen the tape, they've seen everything.

711
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: I'm not a fair catch guy, So just letting them

712
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: know now I don't fair catch, and so do what

713
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: you want to do with that information. So walk us

714
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: through kind of the process. So the ball gets kicked,

715
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: you have an idea of like what return has been

716
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: called or said, what's kind of your checklist? What are

717
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: you going through? What are you looking at when the

718
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: balls in the air? Okay, so the first thing I

719
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: check is the gunner's release and see, if you know,

720
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: my teammates and jammers got them messed up because they're

721
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: usually typically the first ones to get down there. And

722
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: so I already took a peep at the fighter the ball.

723
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: I'm getting to the spot, and all I'm doing is

724
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: already I already checked them out, And so that gives

725
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: me the ndcator if I'm going to fair catch it

726
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: or not, which most likely I'm going to fair catch you,

727
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: no matter what, no matter what. But um, he has

728
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 1: to be like basically standing right next to me if

729
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: I'm not going to fair kids, So um, after that,

730
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: I'm just like, okay, if it's a left return, right return,

731
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: on middle return, I'm catching the ball and just setting

732
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: it up and trusting that my teammates are having it

733
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: on and just letting the athletic ability to take place.

734
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: And so I want to say kick it to me.

735
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's basically backyard football. If anybody think about it,

736
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: it's backyard football. Easily. Has there been one where you

737
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: knew before you caught it you were taking it to

738
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: the house, And I'm sure you have the mindset I'm

739
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: going to take tests. But was there one that where

740
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: you just kind of saw the way things were setting

741
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: up where you're like, all right, yes, um, actually the

742
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: one back in against the rams, and um, it was

743
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: just uh, it was just set up too perfect. It

744
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: was perfect, and it was a right return to the sideline.

745
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 1: And I've seen the whole cavalry of my teammates just

746
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: blocking or set up on the right side. I've seen

747
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 1: like the basically you called it the Great Wall of China,

748
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: and so just seeing that right there and I and

749
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: I I was untouched, and I was just saying, that's

750
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: just yeah. And I was like I took my hat

751
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:37,919
Speaker 1: off to them because there was just nothing but black

752
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:39,800
Speaker 1: and all I did was run and so I was

753
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: like anybody could have done it. So man, it was

754
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 1: just it was unbelievable. That's always said six return touchdowns.

755
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 1: Obviously that's your passion, all pro pro bowler. You also

756
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 1: can do quite a bit in the offense. You have

757
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 1: a rushing touchdown, You've got a bunch of receiving touchdowns,

758
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,359
Speaker 1: that two of them last year. What do you like better?

759
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 1: Do you like scoring as a runner, a return or

760
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: as a receiver. Do not care just gett. Honestly, I

761
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: do not care. Um. I would say, like the off

762
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 1: like the punt returns are more electrifying because it gives

763
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 1: you know, the crowd goes crazy, especially because it's like

764
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,320
Speaker 1: less likely to happen in the game. Anybody can you know,

765
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 1: go and score, you know, catching touchdown and things of

766
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 1: that nature. But everybody was like, okay, punt return or

767
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: kick off return to the house is it's electrifying. It's

768
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 1: also sucks like the momentum of any team because that's

769
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: a change in that's an instant change of you know, possession,

770
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: and they're like, man like special team could easily win

771
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 1: you a game. And so that's what I'm I was about.

772
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: And so if I'm exactly so, I'm me with being

773
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: a part returner and also like a receiver, I'm trying

774
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 1: to take over the whole game on every aspect. So

775
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 1: they're like, man, we can't stop in my offense and

776
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: we sure can't kick them the ball. So I mean,

777
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 1: the only way I wouldn't have no choice but to

778
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: you know, just contain them our best ability. And so

779
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:00,959
Speaker 1: that's my mentality. Just being a part of the turner

780
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: and a receiver is just taking over a whole game,

781
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: and that's your hold the ball on your left hand.

782
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:07,439
Speaker 1: You got a chance to talk with our special teams

783
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: course on your left hand. And he's been telling me, hey,

784
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: walk around the all days today with the ball on

785
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: your left hand because that on my notes when I

786
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: told you when I when I was, I was excited

787
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: to have you here. And I was like, coach, I'm

788
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 1: glad to be here. It's like, but one thing is

789
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: I want to talk about is you carry Why do

790
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: you carry the ball on the right hand? And I

791
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: told him. I was like, it's it's because I feel

792
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: like I'm running slow. That's the only reason why I

793
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 1: do it. Because I'm not used to carrying in the

794
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: left hand and it automatically, like without even thinking, it

795
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: goes to my right hand. And so um, he was

796
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: just like, I'm going to continue to harp on you

797
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: have it in your left hand, and there are so

798
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: many things or extra yards that you could have gotten

799
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:50,439
Speaker 1: if you would have had the ball on your left hand.

800
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 1: And I was like, I haven't even thought about that.

801
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 1: But that's why you take coaching. I'm a player, he's

802
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: a coach and he can see that. And so you

803
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: see me doing it now, having the ball on the right,

804
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 1: let's go from great. There's always, always, always I love that.

805
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 1: And you mentioned chat o'shay when you were together in

806
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: Miami and he's been here. I'm a huge fan of his.

807
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: I think he's been great for for this organization. What

808
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: was that relationship like? And how nice is it they

809
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: have kind of a familiar face in the building. Oh,

810
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: it's great, you know. Um, fortunately I only know Baker

811
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 1: and and Juice and and Rashot here against Hollywood and

812
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 1: so um fortunately Juice and um Rashot are gone. But

813
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: was saying the coach o'sha. I didn't even realize he was,

814
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 1: you know, the receiver's coach and so and I was like,

815
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: what are the odds coordinating? Yeah, and so I was like,

816
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,240
Speaker 1: what are the odds of being back in the same building.

817
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 1: And it's just great because we had a great relationship

818
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 1: in Miami, and so it's just I mean, the future

819
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: is going to be great. That's all I can say.

820
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: I love it. You have a great kind of way

821
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 1: about you. I can feel your energy very all. Is

822
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 1: this something that you ever dreamed of when you know

823
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,439
Speaker 1: you got into the game and you know you said,

824
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: all right, I'm going to the NFL. I'm going to

825
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: be more of a return guy now all pro pro

826
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 1: bowler signed a very nice contract. Congratulations on that for

827
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 1: you and your family, by the way, But is this

828
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: kind of like it's a kind of wild to take

829
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,800
Speaker 1: it all in. Um. Yeah, But see the thing is,

830
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: honestly people did not know that. Um, I never did

831
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:22,720
Speaker 1: punt return or anything before I got to the NFL.

832
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: Like I never called a punt. I couldn't catch a point.

833
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,360
Speaker 1: I didn't even have trust in my own teammates to

834
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: like you have to be have a little bit of

835
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: insanity to catch punts because your head is almost had

836
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: a ninety degree and you're saying, I trust this person

837
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,399
Speaker 1: to make sure I don't get bone up and even

838
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 1: going up and fair catching it in between traffic just

839
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: for field position, Like it's insane. It's it's just insane,

840
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 1: and especially like with me, I will take a hit

841
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: before I like catch them fair catch. And so, um,

842
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: all I did was like I was a receiver before anything,

843
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 1: before I even did special teams, and so I was

844
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,399
Speaker 1: just like, you know, with being my size, I want

845
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 1: to add more to my game than the toleranceivers I

846
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 1: want them to know that, like I'm I can be

847
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: a returner and I can take over on the special

848
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: team games and on the offense. And so I was

849
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: just like, you know what, I'm gonna at that that

850
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: inst to it. I remember coming into a lead and

851
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 1: catching my first point with Darren Rizzy as my special

852
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,720
Speaker 1: teams coach, and it was the preseason game against the Giants,

853
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: and he kicks me the ball absolutely later bounce. I

854
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: was like, in my head, I'm like, I'm not kissing that.

855
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: And then Coach Rizzy is on the sideline reddist can be.

856
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: It was like, why I didn't kiss the ball? I said, Coach,

857
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 1: I was scared. I'm not gonna out to you. I

858
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: was scared. He was like, listen, you're good. Just kiss

859
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:52,439
Speaker 1: the ball and just be you. And so I called

860
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: it and took it four yards and then the rest

861
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: is history. And after that, I've just been just trying

862
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: to perfect my craft and trying to just be the

863
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 1: best one at the best one at it. I'm good

864
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 1: at this, Um, I will say, um, it's probably. I

865
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 1: would say probably what was my kind of like my

866
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 1: best year at returned And I was like killing it

867
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 1: leading the lead and I was just like, man, I

868
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: probably actually got an act for it, and I was

869
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: just tearing it up like that was the year I scored,

870
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 1: like on the kickoff return and a punt return, and

871
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: so I was just like, man, wow, Like I never

872
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: thought I would be good at punt return ever, and

873
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: I was just like when I started to get good,

874
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 1: I was like, man, and that's why the previously told

875
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: you the reference is backyard football, and I was like,

876
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 1: that's all it is is catch the ball and trying

877
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: not to get to exact. Whatever happens, that'll do it.

878
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: For the first hour of the special edition of Cleveland

879
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: Brown's Daily, and what a way to close it out there,

880
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: which you came, big smile, big talent, and just seeing

881
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,360
Speaker 1: out on the field, it feels like he moves at

882
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 1: a different speed than everybody else. The Browns have looked

883
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: for a return or to get them to the end zone.

884
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 1: It's been a long time, a long time. Travis Benjamin

885
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: Josh Cribbs. That was the last two guys who scored

886
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: kick and punt returns for the Cleveland Browns. Jachem Grant

887
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: hopes to change that in two and that could be

888
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: something that could change the outcome of a game and

889
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,760
Speaker 1: get this team to the division crown it certainly wants

890

903
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: Keenum goes to Buffalo, incomes Jacoby Brissette, and Brissett, a

904
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: guy who has started games for the Patriots, for the Colts,

905
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins, could start something for the Cleveland Browns

906
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 1: this year, as we know, depending on what ultimately happens

907
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:23,359
Speaker 1: with Deshaun Watson. Brissette is a guy in his time

908
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 1: in any thirty one touchdowns, thirteen interceptions. He understands the offense.

909
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: He understands how to run an offense. And I'll tell

910
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: you what, He's got a sweet stroke at the basketball court,

911
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 1: as everybody found out when he won the Browns three

912
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 1: point competition. We got a chance to talk with him

913
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 1: after joining the Browns, and I think he'll be very

914
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: impressed with Jacoby Brissette. Take a listen, Jacoby, first time

915
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: we get to talk. Welcome to Cleveland, Welcome to the Browns,

916
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 1: and and thanks for joining us on the show here today.

917
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: Thank you, thanks for having me. So, Jacoby, let's walk

918
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 1: through kind of your mindset this offseason. What made this

919
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 1: feel like the place that you wanted to continue your career.

920
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, give you another opportunity to play in

921
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 1: the National Football League was which is a huge, uh

922
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 1: you know, accomplishment for anybody in any state of their career.

923
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 1: Uh So that that was one of the main things.

924
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: And then you know, um, you know, just the the

925
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: unknown was was was appealing to me. So um, you know,

926
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: provided me with that opportunity, uh to you know, to

927
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: possibly get a chance because you never know, Um you know,

928
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 1: you always want to play away from starting and and

929
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: um you know, and that's what I wanted this all season.

930
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:35,800
Speaker 1: And and you've been with the New England Patriots, the Colts, Miami,

931
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 1: now here with the Browns. Were there any ties I

932
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: was trying to chat o'sha was probably still with the

933
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: Patriots when you were there. But did you really know

934
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 1: many people here? I mean, yeah, Chad, Chad was there

935
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 1: when I was in New England and then uh and

936
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 1: Andy Anthony Walker was with me today, was with me.

937
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 1: But other than that, I don't really think it was

938
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 1: many other other connections, uh, that I had on the team.

939
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 1: And you and A Walker are pretty tight, if I'm

940
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: not mistaken. You flew up together. We're Yeah, we're really

941
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: really good friends. Yeah, he is a fine man and

Speaker 1: somebody certainly we've enjoyed getting to know over the past year.

943
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 1: And then glad that he's back for this year as well.

944
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:15,360

966
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 1: know that, and you know that I'm never too far

967
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: to reach from the from from the communities. How would

968
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 1: did that get instilled in you? How did that become

969
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 1: something that was so central to your father? I think

970
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: it was something that uh you know, I I kind

971
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 1: of crave when I was a kid, um you know,

972
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 1: and being being from where I'm from, uh you know,

973
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 1: the people that gave back to the community that I

974
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 1: was in. Um you know, I would say, help, you know,

975
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 1: mold me and help give me opportunities to to help

976
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: put me in a position that I am today to

977
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:48,800
Speaker 1: to be able to to reciprocate that. And um you know,

978
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: I know how important those things were, and I know

979
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: how important those things are, and especially in the community

980
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: that I grew up in, is is having having um

981
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 1: you know, to uh resource to be an outlet to

982
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 1: those to the the kids into the community, to be

983
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 1: a source of white uh you know, and I know

984
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 1: how much of an impact that player will meet. Uh.

985
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 1: So that was something that you know, my mom always

986
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 1: stealed in us and then and honestly, the community is

987
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 1: stealed the most is you know, we always gave the

988
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 1: people that left always try to uh you know, come

989
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: back and give back to the community. Absolutely, And you've

990
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 1: come to an organization where that is something that is

991
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: very very important here right from the top on down,

992
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:24,839
Speaker 1: from the Haslems on down. So I think you'll fit

993
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 1: in very well. That way, you're gonna fit in very

994
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 1: well on the field. Also, I was looking at your

995
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,360
Speaker 1: numbers two years of starter and Indie. Thirty one touchdowns,

996
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 1: thirteen interceptions. That's a great touchdown interception ratio. Another five

997
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: yards rushing through eleven I had eleven touchdowns on the ground.

998
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 1: What from those kind of two seasons where you got

999
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 1: that was kind of your most extensive starting duty, What

1000
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:45,800
Speaker 1: did you kind of learn about yourself as a player

1001
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 1: and to be able to put up those kind of

1002
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: efficient numbers that the coaches love. Right when you're throwing

1003
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 1: thirty one touchdowns only thirteen picks over two seasons, they

1004
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: love that you're taking care of the football. Uh, you know,

1005
00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:01,799
Speaker 1: and it's it's uh, you know, just say advantage of opportunities. Uh,

1006
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 1: and and I always put the team first, and and

1007
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 1: and those and those things. But always stand ready, you know,

1008
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: and in both those situations obviously, UM, I mean everybody's

1009
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 1: like to say, thrust into those situations, but obviously, um,

1010
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 1: you know, being able to just come in and be

1011
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: prepared and understand, um you know, um, who I am

1012
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 1: as a player, who I am as a person, and

1013
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,840
Speaker 1: always being ready and being and being a guy that

1014
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:29,800
Speaker 1: you know that whenever my number is called, like the

1015
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:32,839
Speaker 1: coaches can count me and know that. You know that, Um,

1016
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 1: you know that the the organization, the team, the offense,

1017
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 1: the game is is it's no different when I'm there

1018
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,800
Speaker 1: than than the guy that they originally wanted. But I

1019
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 1: also hold myself to a standard that you know, I

1020
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 1: don't look at myself as a quote unquote backup. I

1021
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 1: I can't stand that word personally, but um, you know,

1022
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm a quarterback in this league and

1023
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:58,839
Speaker 1: when I prisoned whenever, whenever the opportunity presents itself where

1024
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,800
Speaker 1: I'm playing, I think I him considered the starter. So

1025
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: I can just hold that with me and that in

1026
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 1: my preparation and how I carry myself because you never

1027
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 1: know when those situations occurred. You know, you certainly do

1028
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 1: never know when those situations occur. And I would imagine

1029
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:15,359
Speaker 1: one of the ones that kind of just jumped right

1030
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 1: out to you go back to your rookie year, and

1031
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, I believe it was a Thursday

1032
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 1: night game against the Texans that you made your first start,

1033
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 1: and that one kind of came out of nowhere, right

1034
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:28,280
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you're starting, and that was unbelievable.

1035
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 1: You guys go on and you win that one twenty

1036
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:33,839
Speaker 1: seven to nothing. Yeah, no, I definitely uh you know, Uh,

1037
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 1: Jimmy got hurt in the game before uh and I

1038
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:39,439
Speaker 1: finished the game off against the Dolphins, I want to say.

1039
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:42,800
Speaker 1: And then um started that next week Thursday night, and

1040
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:44,799
Speaker 1: then I end up having to start the next game.

1041
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,320
Speaker 1: So this league happened so fast. Uh, you know, And

1042
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 1: I realized at a young age, which was like, I

1043
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 1: think it was very beneficial to me, um, because I

1044
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 1: understood that and uh, and I carry that with me.

1045
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 1: Is because you never know, um, when that play is

1046
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 1: don't happen, or when when your time will be called,

1047
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 1: So you know, always to be ready. Uh and um,

1048
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:05,359
Speaker 1: you know, I think that suited me well from my career.

1049
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 1: You're a super Bowl champ. You've been around it, you've

1050
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 1: seen it, you know the way that it needs to

1051
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:11,919
Speaker 1: be there for one of the great super Bowls really

1052
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 1: in NFL history with that comeback against the Falcons. When

1053
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 1: you look at this team and you look at some

1054
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 1: of the talent that's been a mass here, what is

1055
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:22,880
Speaker 1: if there is anything, is that kind of secret and

1056
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:25,839
Speaker 1: greets the NFL. Everybody is good, right, every team is good,

1057
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,320
Speaker 1: has has good to great players. What's kind of that

1058
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 1: secret ingredient? I know you're you're chasing that quest to

1059
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 1: get back there again, but it's a nice way to

1060
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 1: start off the career. By the way, what is kind

1061
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 1: of that thing that you've kind of gleaned from your

1062
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:40,200
Speaker 1: time and you're in the NFL about what's that little

1063
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:43,720
Speaker 1: that secret sauce that it that extra that allows teams

1064
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:48,240
Speaker 1: to have that success. Um. You know, I wouldn't consider

1065
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:51,440
Speaker 1: it a secret. I think the thing is to be

1066
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 1: consistent and be there every day and work hard. Uh.

1067
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,239
Speaker 1: And I think that's that's really what it is. Uh

1068
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 1: And I think that's what I've learned. Uh throughout out

1069
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 1: that year being in New England. It was just like,

1070
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 1: you know, the thing that that the team did was

1071
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 1: the same things every day and and didn't take those

1072
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:11,839
Speaker 1: things for for granted. Um. And I think every year

1073
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 1: is totally different, every team is totally different. And I

1074
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: think right now we're building those those good habits, those

1075
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:21,240
Speaker 1: those things that we can lean on. Our fundamentals are technique,

1076
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 1: our foundation of the offense of the team, of the

1077
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 1: defense of the special teams. I think that's what we

1078
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 1: build right now. And you know, I think when when

1079
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:32,240
Speaker 1: when everybody comes together and we believe and we trust

1080
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 1: those things and that we all know that we're all

1081
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 1: the same page, I think that's what builds, you know,

1082
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 1: championship teams. I think it's our cyt too early to

1083
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 1: tell to tell everything because we haven't played the game.

1084
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 1: But um, I think those are the things that you

1085
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:47,320
Speaker 1: lean on. Is just like, hey, right now, what is

1086
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:49,800
Speaker 1: our objective and our goal and being able to attack

1087
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 1: that because we ultimately know that our our our final

1088
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 1: goal is to be a champion. Initial impressions of Kevin Stefanski.

1089
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:00,160
Speaker 1: You've had an opportunity be around obviously different head, which

1090
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 1: is Bill Belichick, regarded by many as the greatest of

1091
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 1: all time. What are your kind of initial initial impressions

1092
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 1: of of coach the Fanski. I. I mean you can

1093
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: obviously tell that he's, uh, you know, he's gonna be

1094
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:10,800
Speaker 1: the same guy every day. You know, he's been the

1095
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:12,799
Speaker 1: same guy since I've met him when I came on out,

1096
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:15,840
Speaker 1: when I came up here and talking to him, and

1097
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 1: then been around in the last couple of days in

1098
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 1: the building. He's been the same guy every day he's

1099
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 1: talking to players and U other coaches and other people

1100
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:26,840
Speaker 1: on the staff. You know, everybody always says he's the

1101
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 1: same guy every day. Which as a player, that's one

1102
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 1: of the things that you want the most is that

1103
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 1: got to be the same guy whether you're winning or losing,

1104
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 1: or your up or down, because you know, um, you

1105
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:40,360
Speaker 1: know that's somebody that's gonna be the consistent. UM. You know,

1106
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 1: scare of the ship. You know, as the head coach.

1107
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:45,399
Speaker 1: You know that that's uh uh when you know where

1108
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 1: you stand with the head coach as that trickles down

1109
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 1: and UM you know you obviously um has has had

1110
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:55,400
Speaker 1: very uh, very much success uh in his career as

1111
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:58,239
Speaker 1: a head coach, so um, you know, I'm excited to

1112
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 1: be around him and learn from him. What's it like

1113
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 1: for a veteran like yourself to be able to come

1114
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 1: to an organization where you've got you know, your head

1115
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: coach was a play caller. Obviously, that's why one of

1116
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:08,400
Speaker 1: the reasons he got the job but he did in

1117
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 1: Minnesota was able to come in was the coach of

1118
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 1: the year two years ago. You've got you know, the

1119
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:14,800
Speaker 1: venerable Bill Callahan, who's been a play caller and a

1120
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 1: head coach in his own right. Chat O'Shea was a

1121
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 1: play caller in Miami. You've got Alex van Pelt who

1122
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 1: has been a play caller in Cincinnati and has worked

1123
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 1: with obviously with as a Green Bay coach quarterback coach

1124
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 1: there with Aaron Rodgers for a while. To have so

1125
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 1: many guys, and then in your room Drew Petsing, who

1126
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:30,279
Speaker 1: has worked his way up kind of very much like

1127
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 1: Kevin sa fancy get an opportunity to come into the

1128
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:35,360
Speaker 1: quarterback room for the first time with you guys, what

1129
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:37,320
Speaker 1: what's kind of your thoughts on the staff like that

1130
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:40,360
Speaker 1: that works so well together but has such an a

1131
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:43,840
Speaker 1: vast background of experience actually doing it at the highest

1132
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:46,239
Speaker 1: level this league has to offer. I think that's I

1133
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 1: think that's when you watch film, you just see how

1134
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 1: how how collaborator. You can tell how collaborative the group is.

1135
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:56,239
Speaker 1: You know, everybody um you know has um you know,

1136
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:58,839
Speaker 1: input into the game plans and and you can see

1137
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 1: that you know the versatility of the offense and and

1138
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 1: and being able to call different plays at different times.

1139
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 1: And you know, obviously I had experience with with o'cean

1140
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:10,919
Speaker 1: and Chad and being on the same same wave lengths

1141
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:13,400
Speaker 1: and for him as well. And you know, I remember

1142
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 1: coming in here talking to him my first week here

1143
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 1: and he was just like, you know, we we like

1144
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:23,239
Speaker 1: you know, input, we like collaborating, collaborating and you know,

1145
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:26,799
Speaker 1: having all that experience from other players, other coaches, um,

1146
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 1: you know, calling plays and then them trusting the players

1147
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 1: to give them ideas. Um, you know you can understand

1148
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:34,840
Speaker 1: why you know, this offense has been one of the

1149
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 1: best offices in the league the last couple of years.

1150
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:39,760
Speaker 1: Is that cool as a player and is that unique?

1151
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 1: Is that unique to have that kind of collaboration and

1152
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 1: want that much input from players? Definitely, because because you know, obviously, uh,

1153
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 1: in this league, you know, a lot of coaches you

1154
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 1: know are you know, what they know is what they know. Uh,

1155
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:55,680
Speaker 1: and it's hard to to to change and and and

1156
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 1: uh and that's that's that's good and bad at the

1157
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 1: same time, which um, you know, being able to collaborate

1158
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 1: with not only more more coaches that have that of

1159
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:08,400
Speaker 1: call plays and been in been the play caller, but

1160
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:11,480
Speaker 1: players who are actually in the game and having you know,

1161
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 1: the guy that's called that's doing the plays has some

1162
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:18,399
Speaker 1: some stay so it's pretty cool, pretty unique. So I'm

1163
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 1: excited to see how that will be. Uh and um,

1164
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure to sure to turn out will

1165
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 1: because you know, obviously Deshan has history playing, Josh has

1166
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:28,959
Speaker 1: history playing, and you know myself obviously, so it would

1167
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:31,239
Speaker 1: be pretty cool. You just mentioned your quarterback room and

1168
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 1: in your press conference Laer today, you brought something up

1169
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 1: unprompted that I thought was, to use your words, pretty

1170
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:37,400
Speaker 1: cool and you said, it's my first time being in

1171
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:39,920
Speaker 1: an all black quarterback room. It's pretty cool. I'm not

1172
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,760
Speaker 1: sure if it's it might be the first in league history.

1173
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:44,359
Speaker 1: I'm not sure about that. We need to get intro

1174
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 1: this program to figure that out. But it is a

1175
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:50,799
Speaker 1: pretty powerful thing, and I'm not I don't know if

1176
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:52,840
Speaker 1: you guys have discussed it, but the fact that you

1177
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 1: brought it up unprompted means that made an impact on you. Clearly.

1178
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:58,880
Speaker 1: What is that? What does that feel like? What what

1179
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:01,800
Speaker 1: do you hope to a acomplished with you know that group?

1180
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:04,759
Speaker 1: And what is I think a historic situation? Yeah, like

1181
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 1: I said, the pressure, I mean, it's very unique, it's

1182
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 1: very cool. Uh, you know, not not too many cancers. Uh,

1183
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 1: you get something like that, you know where you know

1184
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:17,920
Speaker 1: whereas black quarterbacks are just not I want to say,

1185
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 1: just starting. But you know, over the over the last

1186
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 1: you know, pen twelve years or getting you know, the

1187
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 1: respect that we can actually do this position. And then

1188
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 1: now you get a room with you know where it's

1189
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:31,239
Speaker 1: all black, all black guys as quarterbacks. Uh in there.

1190
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 1: It's pretty cool. Uh. You know we haven't you know

1191
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:37,239
Speaker 1: when in depth about um, you know, the impact that

1192
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 1: that is of having a group like that, which I'm

1193
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:42,920
Speaker 1: sure we will soon. We just have been you know,

1194
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:44,719
Speaker 1: all over the place for the last couple of days.

1195
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure when we sit down and just start like

1196
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,640
Speaker 1: really talking about you know, things that that will come up.

1197
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:52,040
Speaker 1: You know. It's very unique. It's it's like I said,

1198
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:54,800
Speaker 1: it's very cool, um, you know, and the thing that

1199
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 1: accomplishes you know, just to to to show you know that,

1200
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 1: you know, we all are very capable of handling this position.

1201
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:03,799
Speaker 1: We all are smart enough, we all can can play

1202
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: at a very high level. Um. And and we aren't

1203
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 1: here by a chance. You know, we all we all

1204
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 1: worked for disposition and you know all are are very

1205
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,840
Speaker 1: worthy to be in the room. Uh, and to to

1206
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 1: hold the weight of an organization. And uh, you know,

1207
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:23,480
Speaker 1: I'm excited to to show that hard not to root

1208
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:25,839
Speaker 1: for Jacoby Brissette. And and like I said, he may

1209
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:28,080
Speaker 1: start some games for the Cleveland Browns this year. And

1210
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:30,800
Speaker 1: I feel very confident, as does this staff, that Jacoby

1211
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:33,680
Speaker 1: Brissette can guide this team two wins and win big

1212
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:36,759
Speaker 1: games as well. And now Brissette, when he came to

1213
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:39,279
Speaker 1: the Browns, he got it on a good recommendation from

1214
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:41,880
Speaker 1: a former teammate, Anthony Walker, who loved his first year

1215
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 1: with the Browns, decided to re up for a year

1216
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:45,919
Speaker 1: number two. In fact, when Brissette came up to sign

1217
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:48,960
Speaker 1: his contract, Walker came up with him. So it only

1218
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 1: makes sense that coming up next after Brissette, we go

1219
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 1: to Anthony Walker Jr. The Browns leading tackler from a

1220
00:56:55,120 --> 00:57:04,800
Speaker 1: season ago. We talked with him after Minicamp. Next Cleveland

1221
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:12,600
Speaker 1: brown SBN Cleveland. When you think it's smart, tough, and accountable,

1222
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:16,000
Speaker 1: you think of Anthony Walker Jr. There's no doubt, an

1223
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 1: absolute leader on the field, in the locker room, and

1224
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 1: just a consummate professional and a guy who has seen

1225
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 1: high level defense. He has seen high level football in

1226
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:27,840
Speaker 1: his career, a guy who's averaged over a hundred tackles

1227
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 1: per season on the last four seasons, three with Indie,

1228
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 1: one with the Browns, and so he has a great

1229
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 1: perspective on what this team can be and also how

1230
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 1: different things are this year now that we're out of

1231
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 1: the COVID protocols compared to a year ago, where this

1232
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,800
Speaker 1: team can be together, they can build that brotherhood that

1233
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:45,600
Speaker 1: you need to be successful in this league. And I

1234
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 1: got a chance to talk with him right after he

1235
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 1: walked off the field at the Brown's final mini camp

1236
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 1: practice at First Energy Stadium. Take a listen. What a

1237
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 1: treat to be joined by Anthony Walker Jr. Looking resplendent

1238
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:59,560
Speaker 1: in the number five. Hey you doing man, I'm doing well. UM,

1239
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 1: just in better, trying to get better each day with

1240
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 1: the team. UM, trying to take those next steps. And

1241
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 1: you know right now just phase one, phase to phase three.

1242
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:08,800
Speaker 1: You understanding what it is, um, you know, a chance

1243
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:11,800
Speaker 1: for us to grow get better, relearn, re teach, you know,

1244
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:13,600
Speaker 1: just come together as a team. You know what I

1245
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:15,680
Speaker 1: loved is right before we talk, you're saying over there

1246
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 1: with John Johnson, you guys are going through obviously one

1247
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 1: of the plays that happened earlier, and kind of talking

1248
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:21,080
Speaker 1: through that is that's something you love to do. Just

1249
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:23,080
Speaker 1: kind of get the minutia down, get everybody on the

1250
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 1: same page, because it feels like this defense has a

1251
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 1: chance to be special, no doubt. Any time that we

1252
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:31,960
Speaker 1: have you know, uh, miscommunication or area that we need

1253
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 1: to get, we we want to get. We want to

1254
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 1: get to it right now. You know, there's no need

1255
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:36,680
Speaker 1: to wait. Um, that's the best. That's a good thing

1256
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 1: about playing professional football. You have guys that everybody wants

1257
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 1: to know and be on the same page. So um,

1258
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 1: you know, John was like, hey, how would you play

1259
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:45,640
Speaker 1: this or how would we play this? You know, and

1260
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 1: I'm you know, giving him my insight and then we're

1261
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:49,920
Speaker 1: able to share a comment and then all of this

1262
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 1: for us to get better. You know, we just want

1263
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 1: to be perfect as a team. Um, you know, there's

1264
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 1: no such thing as perfect. But the closer you get,

1265
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:58,400
Speaker 1: the closer out of greatness. So it just helped me

1266
00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 1: help the audience because is they'll here, okay, cover three

1267
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 1: and they think, oh okay, we got too deep on

1268
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:06,240
Speaker 1: the outside. The middle of the field's closed guy comes

1269
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:10,200
Speaker 1: down everybody's got their little zones. If they motion into trips,

1270
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:12,919
Speaker 1: if they motion into a bunch. How many different checks

1271
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:14,640
Speaker 1: are there? Just to give people a concept of like, yeah,

1272
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:16,520
Speaker 1: you may get a call, but based on then if

1273
00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:19,440
Speaker 1: one becomes three and two becomes one, how it changes

1274
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:21,120
Speaker 1: everything that you guys have to do, and how people

1275
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:24,600
Speaker 1: really understand that there are probably a hundred different things

1276
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 1: going on in a split second right for the ball

1277
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 1: snapped and then even after. Yeah, that's the beauty of football.

1278
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:31,320
Speaker 1: People think, oh, I could just play covered three and

1279
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:33,440
Speaker 1: I know what covered three is, or you know, I

1280
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:35,120
Speaker 1: could play cover two. I know what covered two is.

1281
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:37,680
Speaker 1: Everything kind of just goes at the snap of the whistle,

1282
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 1: at the snap of the ball, and you gotta play

1283
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 1: off of what the offense does. And that's why I

1284
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 1: like playing defense, because it was reactive, you know. So,

1285
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:46,919
Speaker 1: like you said, I could it's I mean, the base

1286
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 1: of it is covered three and you could understand it

1287
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 1: as that. But if three goes somewhere, I gotta go

1288
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 1: somewhere else and I'm off of three, you know. So, Um,

1289
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:57,640
Speaker 1: that's just the little nuances of it, the beauty of

1290
00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 1: the game in my opinion. Um, being able to understand

1291
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:03,080
Speaker 1: how the field is spaced out, and that where the

1292
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:04,840
Speaker 1: office is trying to attack, and how they're trying to

1293
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:07,320
Speaker 1: pull you to a certain area, saying open up something

1294
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 1: in the middle and something outside. You know, just because

1295
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 1: the middle is closed, that doesn't mean that the offense

1296
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:13,160
Speaker 1: can't pull the safety one way and throw a quick

1297
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:15,440
Speaker 1: bang on the other side. So, um, you know, just

1298
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 1: understanding that, understanding that also you have to play the run. Um.

1299
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not easy, but that's the beauty of it.

1300
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 1: When you think about coming back this season and so

1301
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:26,760
Speaker 1: you're back in Jacob's back in your room, and Jeremiah's

1302
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 1: back in your room, Ciona's back, Tony Fields is back,

1303
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:30,600
Speaker 1: and then you look behind you and oh there's John

1304
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 1: and Grant and Ronnie and Rich again, and oh there's

1305
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:35,760
Speaker 1: Denzel and Greg again and Greedy and now a j

1306
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 1: Green and he you know, Hurt Miller again and of

1307
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 1: course I'm Jammerson adds into the mix. But to have

1308
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 1: that kind of continuity, how much does that help being

1309
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:45,520
Speaker 1: able to be you know, I'd imagine you guys feel

1310
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 1: like right now today you're light years ahead of where

1311
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:50,240
Speaker 1: you were a year ago. Oh, no doubt Um, way

1312
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 1: light years. Uh, like you said, just having the same guys,

1313
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 1: very similar guys in the in the room. UM. On

1314
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:59,439
Speaker 1: the defense obviously up front, obviously that's where it starts there,

1315
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:02,160
Speaker 1: the engine that drives our team. UM, you know, So

1316
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:04,360
Speaker 1: to have those guys up front, and then you know

1317
01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:06,480
Speaker 1: there's the linebacker room. You know, pretty much all the

1318
01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 1: guys come back. And then on the defensive backs. UM,

1319
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 1: you know, I feel very comfortable with all those guys

1320
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 1: behind us. UM. You know, we're we're a lot well,

1321
01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 1: we're in a much better position than we was last

1322
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:19,440
Speaker 1: year at this time. I will say that on the field,

1323
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:21,160
Speaker 1: off the field of towns like you are as well.

1324
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:22,520
Speaker 1: I know you kind of touched on that at the

1325
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. What can you expand on that in

1326
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:26,920
Speaker 1: terms of the positives for this You're not necessarily what

1327
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:29,000
Speaker 1: it was last year, but what it's becoming now. No. No,

1328
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:30,920
Speaker 1: And when I said that yesterday, UM, you know, I

1329
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 1: don't want anybody to think that we had a negative

1330
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:35,040
Speaker 1: locker room. I loved all those guys in the locker room. UM.

1331
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 1: What I was saying was with COVID, you know, you

1332
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 1: have two different locker rooms. I'm pretty sure every team

1333
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:42,400
Speaker 1: had this because we had it. In any two you

1334
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:46,680
Speaker 1: have two different locker rooms. You have uh, one guy

1335
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 1: in the locker, three guy, three lockers empty, and then

1336
01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:52,040
Speaker 1: another guy in the locker, so everybody's spaced out. Everybody

1337
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:54,040
Speaker 1: has to come in different times, sometimes for a lifts,

1338
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:56,920
Speaker 1: for treatment, all that stuff, so you really only see

1339
01:01:56,960 --> 01:01:59,520
Speaker 1: each other outside of the building, you know. And in

1340
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:02,240
Speaker 1: football all you where I think you get closest. Obviously,

1341
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:03,920
Speaker 1: you want to hang out with your guys outside when

1342
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:05,960
Speaker 1: you're in the building and you're going through those workouts,

1343
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:08,880
Speaker 1: you're going through that treatment together, You're going through lifts together,

1344
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:11,440
Speaker 1: the grind of practice, getting the code up, getting in

1345
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 1: the sun agett in the steam room. All that stuff matters.

1346
01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 1: And I think that's where we've grown a lot. And

1347
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:18,720
Speaker 1: because you know, we don't have the issue of COVID

1348
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:21,680
Speaker 1: protocols anymore, I think that's what's made us a closer team,

1349
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:24,520
Speaker 1: you know. So when you understand, I told my dad yesterday,

1350
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:27,120
Speaker 1: this is the first time in three years where I've

1351
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:30,040
Speaker 1: seen everybody in the locker room together. The first time

1352
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:32,120
Speaker 1: in three years. It was the last time I saw

1353
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 1: that where we had everybody the whole team in one

1354
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:36,720
Speaker 1: locker room. That's like it's kind of like foreign language

1355
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 1: right now. There are a lot of guys that we

1356
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:39,440
Speaker 1: talked about that are with you. They have never seen

1357
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:41,360
Speaker 1: it exactly, so it's like, wow, I like to have

1358
01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 1: this and to understand that. And you know, I missed

1359
01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:46,760
Speaker 1: it honestly, because like you said, that's where you grow,

1360
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 1: that's where you get that camaraderie at you know, we

1361
01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:52,040
Speaker 1: we spend you know, we'll be done practice at twelve o'clock,

1362
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:54,240
Speaker 1: twelve thirty and guys don't lead a build until two

1363
01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 1: because we're sitting in the locker room talking, playing music

1364
01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:58,600
Speaker 1: in the sun in the stare room, guys taking care

1365
01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:00,520
Speaker 1: of their bodies, all that stuff. And we were able

1366
01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:02,160
Speaker 1: to do that. And you know, I have to worry

1367
01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:05,000
Speaker 1: about you know, the COVID protocols obviously that I mean,

1368
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:07,200
Speaker 1: you just a better You're you're closer, much closer team

1369
01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:09,160
Speaker 1: because you spend more time together and not only just

1370
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:11,000
Speaker 1: on the defenses, you said, the whole team. So now

1371
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 1: the defense and the offense can get together, which I

1372
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:15,160
Speaker 1: think it's a big thing. We talked about the three

1373
01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 1: phases and special things. We know is comprised of both,

1374
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:19,120
Speaker 1: but to be able to have that rapport and that

1375
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:21,400
Speaker 1: relationship on both sides of the ball. It helps because

1376
01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 1: like games throughout the season, they're gonna be games where

1377
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:25,000
Speaker 1: the defense is carrying their games with the offense, and

1378
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 1: there games where everything clicks and it's just it's a

1379
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:29,440
Speaker 1: wonderful feeling. But to have that is that a big

1380
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:31,360
Speaker 1: thing too, because not just the defense, but to have

1381
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:33,560
Speaker 1: the defense on the offense together. You just saw you

1382
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:35,400
Speaker 1: just hit on it home. I don't care if we

1383
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:37,560
Speaker 1: win a hundred and ninety nine or three to two,

1384
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:40,080
Speaker 1: however we get it done. Um, you know, I'm excited.

1385
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:43,040
Speaker 1: I'm excited for this team. I'm excited for you know,

1386
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:47,520
Speaker 1: us coming together. I mean everybody on offense, everybody on defense,

1387
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:49,919
Speaker 1: special teams. We understand that this is a one team,

1388
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:52,680
Speaker 1: one goal and how we get it done, We're gonna

1389
01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:55,080
Speaker 1: be happy. We're gonna support each other, and uh again,

1390
01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:56,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna have bumps in a row. You know, that's

1391
01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:58,880
Speaker 1: just a part of the game that we play. Um.

1392
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:00,680
Speaker 1: But the closer we all said it close, we are

1393
01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:02,960
Speaker 1: a perfection. You know, the greater will be what made

1394
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:04,360
Speaker 1: you want to come back here and do this again.

1395
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:07,360
Speaker 1: I mean just the I mean, I I really enjoyed

1396
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:10,200
Speaker 1: the defense last year. I enjoyed the system that coach

1397
01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:13,640
Speaker 1: wars running UM. And then obviously you know, to have

1398
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:16,320
Speaker 1: a chance to you know, win a championship. UM, I

1399
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:18,400
Speaker 1: think you we we just hit on it, you know

1400
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:21,680
Speaker 1: with these business yesterday, UM, the busy here today, and

1401
01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:23,400
Speaker 1: we've been talking about it a lot. The history of

1402
01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:26,720
Speaker 1: this team, the history of you know, the city of Cleveland,

1403
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:29,240
Speaker 1: and UM to bring a championship, to have opportunity to

1404
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:31,800
Speaker 1: bring a championship here is huge. You know what I've

1405
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:33,640
Speaker 1: loved about this mini camp and these o ts when

1406
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:35,160
Speaker 1: you guys it's been a passing camp, right, so seven

1407
01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:37,520
Speaker 1: on seven has been the main periods of competition, right.

1408
01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:40,640
Speaker 1: You guys don't have pads on, but it's been real competition.

1409
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:42,120
Speaker 1: This is a good offense, and you guys on the

1410
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:44,120
Speaker 1: back end are really good. I mean we've seen times

1411
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:46,040
Speaker 1: where they had to kind of scramble drilling the seven

1412
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:47,960
Speaker 1: on something you don't see that very often. How do

1413
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:49,720
Speaker 1: you feel about where this de is? But then also

1414
01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:52,640
Speaker 1: what you're seeing from the offense that's coming against us. Yeah, UM,

1415
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:54,880
Speaker 1: I'm excited about the defense. UM. You know, we're taking

1416
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:57,919
Speaker 1: steps in the right direction. Obviously light years, like you said,

1417
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:00,400
Speaker 1: from where we were last year, but also not close

1418
01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:01,880
Speaker 1: to where we want to be. You know, by the

1419
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:03,680
Speaker 1: time September comes and by the time you know, we're

1420
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:06,760
Speaker 1: getting ready for playoff football. So um, obviously we've got

1421
01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:08,160
Speaker 1: a lot of steps to go. But I like where

1422
01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:11,000
Speaker 1: we're at. Where we're at, Um offensively, I mean I

1423
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:14,160
Speaker 1: love those guys. They compete, they're hungry. Um. You know,

1424
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:18,720
Speaker 1: Mary Cooper brought their receiver talking trash. Obviously Chubb, you know,

1425
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:21,160
Speaker 1: being able to run the ball with Chub Kaarne Bernest

1426
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:24,000
Speaker 1: um Man, it's a sight. It's a sight to see

1427
01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:27,000
Speaker 1: Um to go against those guys, to compete against those guys. All,

1428
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:28,360
Speaker 1: I gotta tell our defense all the time, we're going

1429
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:29,760
Speaker 1: to get one of the best offense is one of

1430
01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:32,640
Speaker 1: the most complex offenses to play against. So um, you know,

1431
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 1: I feel like if we can I mean, if we

1432
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:37,800
Speaker 1: can break fifty fifty or even when when matches against them,

1433
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:39,480
Speaker 1: I think, well, you know, we put ourselves in great

1434
01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:42,240
Speaker 1: position on Sundays, the Browns linebacking room I think in

1435
01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:45,160
Speaker 1: great shape. Right now. You've got Walker junior back Jacob

1436
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:47,280
Speaker 1: Phillips has had a tremendous offseason and if he can

1437
01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:49,680
Speaker 1: stay healthy, something he has not been able to do yet,

1438
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:52,360
Speaker 1: could be a breakout year for him. Plus, of course,

1439
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:55,240
Speaker 1: Jeremiah Wusukormo looking to become a star in his second year.

1440
01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:58,400
Speaker 1: You got Taki Takie, Tony Fields now in his second year.

1441
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:01,240
Speaker 1: So a lot of talent in that line back room.

1442
01:06:01,560 --> 01:06:03,080
Speaker 1: Now one area where there's a lot of talent but

1443
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:05,360
Speaker 1: a lot of competition, that's the defensive tackle room. And

1444
01:06:05,360 --> 01:06:07,680
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody made a bigger first impression on

1445
01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:11,240
Speaker 1: the Browns or their fans than Perry On Winfrey, whose

1446
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:14,640
Speaker 1: Draft day press conference was an all timer. Well, guess

1447
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:17,800
Speaker 1: what his first appearance on CBD also an all timer.

1458
01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:57,840
Speaker 1: CBD debut from back May the nineteenth, sat right here

1459
01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:00,120
Speaker 1: in this chair next to me, and we had an

1460
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:03,560
Speaker 1: absolute blast, and not only that big news, we got

1461
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:06,520
Speaker 1: hit meating Steak. I think my opinion the correct way.

1462
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:08,440
Speaker 1: Here's Perry and Winfrey you had. I think one of

1463
01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:11,880
Speaker 1: the coolest moments in the drafts. What I loved about

1464
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:14,000
Speaker 1: it so much, I think with so many people around

1465
01:07:14,040 --> 01:07:16,440
Speaker 1: here loved about it so much, is because, um, when

1466
01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:19,000
Speaker 1: when we see something like that happened, you think about

1467
01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:21,160
Speaker 1: how you would respond to it, and I think most

1468
01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:24,600
Speaker 1: people would respond the way you did and be as

1469
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:29,360
Speaker 1: emotional as you were. Did you have any idea that

1470
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:32,000
Speaker 1: when that emotion came out of you that it was

1471
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:35,520
Speaker 1: coming or be that it would lead to what has happened?

1472
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:38,680
Speaker 1: Since I didn't think that it would lead to what

1473
01:07:38,760 --> 01:07:41,200
Speaker 1: happened next, Like like I haven't even put on the

1474
01:07:41,280 --> 01:07:42,880
Speaker 1: helmet yet for real, and I'm getting spotted in the

1475
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 1: grocery store to the gas station. Like it's not one

1476
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:48,760
Speaker 1: day that has went by where I haven't had at

1477
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:51,600
Speaker 1: least five people asking for a picture, like not one day.

1478
01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:54,280
Speaker 1: It blows my mind. Like I'll just be walking around

1479
01:07:54,280 --> 01:07:56,320
Speaker 1: and rundom people will go to me like yo, there's

1480
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:58,520
Speaker 1: no way, and I'm like, how do you even know who?

1481
01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:02,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, all right, just so this is a number one.

1482
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:05,920
Speaker 1: That's Cleveland, right, Cleveland and Brown's fans are crazy. But

1483
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:08,400
Speaker 1: what you did, as Bo pointed out, you connected with

1484
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:10,840
Speaker 1: so many people on the emotional level. First of all,

1485
01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:15,480
Speaker 1: you're incredibly charismatic and your delivery is phenomenal. It's captivating, right,

1486
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:18,000
Speaker 1: you can bring people in through the screen. So I

1487
01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:20,519
Speaker 1: have a buddy, the kid, who is some people say

1488
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:22,519
Speaker 1: a sand bagger golf neither here nor there. The real

1489
01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:26,160
Speaker 1: for the point of this is he saw your opening

1490
01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:28,000
Speaker 1: press conference, then listened to the interview that we did

1491
01:08:28,080 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 1: with you on the radio after that, and the kid

1492
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 1: was like, get me a winfree jersey. That's my guy.

1493
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:39,479
Speaker 1: You immediately became, as you said, and now you're gonna

1494
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:41,760
Speaker 1: get an opportunity to get people even more exciting means

1495
01:08:41,760 --> 01:08:43,640
Speaker 1: you out there on the field. But I think there

1496
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:46,080
Speaker 1: is something so relatable about that. And then there I

1497
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:47,880
Speaker 1: think quite frankly, a lot of people who wished that

1498
01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:50,280
Speaker 1: they had the gift of gab, that you have the

1499
01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:53,439
Speaker 1: ability to cut a captivating promo like that, you can

1500
01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:56,240
Speaker 1: put butts in the seats. Yeah exactly. That's crazy because

1501
01:08:56,240 --> 01:08:58,040
Speaker 1: we were just a Capital grill yesterday and I seeing

1502
01:08:58,080 --> 01:09:00,479
Speaker 1: this random guy who sit down and he was like

1503
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:04,960
Speaker 1: I turned around and he was right there. I'm like, yeah,

1504
01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:06,719
Speaker 1: how you doing? He was like the season ticket holder.

1505
01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:09,120
Speaker 1: He was like, I usually don't buy people's jerseys because

1506
01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:10,720
Speaker 1: they'd be coming in there going when I saw on

1507
01:09:10,840 --> 01:09:18,760
Speaker 1: bio jersey. Yeah, yeah, that's a great that's how he talks. Um.

1508
01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:21,519
Speaker 1: What I think is is really interesting is you played

1509
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:25,120
Speaker 1: at a Mount Rushmore college football program in Oklahoma, where

1510
01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:29,000
Speaker 1: it matters so much to play there, um, and you

1511
01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:32,559
Speaker 1: you are drafted by a place that is very similar,

1512
01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:35,240
Speaker 1: and so you were probably in some way and I

1513
01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:37,240
Speaker 1: think most people know that around football that you're gonna

1514
01:09:37,240 --> 01:09:39,880
Speaker 1: go play for the Browns. That's a rabid fan base. Um.

1515
01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:43,320
Speaker 1: But this feels like it's even superseded your expectations on

1516
01:09:43,520 --> 01:09:45,200
Speaker 1: that a little bit. Do I have to read on

1517
01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:48,519
Speaker 1: that right? Uh? Definitely, definitely. I didn't think I didn't

1518
01:09:48,880 --> 01:09:51,840
Speaker 1: obviously because I wasn't in Cleveland, brown spar going up,

1519
01:09:51,880 --> 01:09:53,640
Speaker 1: because I'm not from Clearland, so I never knew that

1520
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 1: it was this crazy. So just to come in and

1521
01:09:56,320 --> 01:09:59,120
Speaker 1: see how intense it is. I can't wait to actually

1522
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:01,040
Speaker 1: be in the state him and put on the past

1523
01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:03,759
Speaker 1: because I just know it's gonna be a movie, especially

1524
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:07,040
Speaker 1: right next to the dog. It's gonna be crazy. So

1525
01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:11,360
Speaker 1: your buddies with Greg, we've talked about that. Did he like,

1526
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:14,320
Speaker 1: did he prepare you for what it was gonna be like?

1527
01:10:14,360 --> 01:10:16,920
Speaker 1: Because he experienced it too now coming from Northwestern very different,

1528
01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:19,360
Speaker 1: but he's been here and he knows and he's embraced

1529
01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:21,439
Speaker 1: the city in every Cabs game, sitting in the front row,

1530
01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:23,439
Speaker 1: all of those things. Did he tell you it was

1531
01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:25,160
Speaker 1: gonna be like this? And even with being told that,

1532
01:10:25,240 --> 01:10:28,719
Speaker 1: it's still exceed anything that could be told. He told

1533
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:31,000
Speaker 1: me he didn't think that when I came here it

1534
01:10:31,120 --> 01:10:33,639
Speaker 1: was gonna be how it is, Like he's he's shocked

1535
01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:36,000
Speaker 1: to himself as how many times I get spotted daily,

1536
01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:38,280
Speaker 1: Like last night we were at the gas station. I

1537
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:40,200
Speaker 1: was the only one who got out the car um

1538
01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:42,920
Speaker 1: going to get someone to drink and this random guy

1539
01:10:43,040 --> 01:10:46,720
Speaker 1: just pulls up on me. It's like, I'm like, I

1540
01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:49,320
Speaker 1: just turned around. Greg hops off the car because he

1541
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:51,800
Speaker 1: thinks the guy is trying to do some dangerous stuff

1542
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:53,280
Speaker 1: and he just he just wants to picture with me

1543
01:10:53,360 --> 01:10:56,439
Speaker 1: and Greg. So it's just crazy seeing all this happening.

1544
01:10:56,520 --> 01:11:01,240
Speaker 1: For real. Jump up cautiously though, people say, some space

1545
01:11:02,200 --> 01:11:04,840
Speaker 1: and you're a large You're you are a large human nail.

1546
01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:10,000
Speaker 1: You know, consciously approach man, Yeah, chill a little bit.

1547
01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:13,640
Speaker 1: We don't need to be jumping at the gas at

1548
01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:16,800
Speaker 1: your own peril. Yeah, seriously, So you went, you went

1549
01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:20,160
Speaker 1: out to the Capital Girl Gregg's twenty second birthday. Good

1550
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:22,400
Speaker 1: time there, Yo, great time, great time, for sure. We

1551
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:26,080
Speaker 1: were with some friends, some of a couple of other

1552
01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:27,760
Speaker 1: guys on the team. I'm not gonna lie, I don't

1553
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:31,439
Speaker 1: know their names yet. I'm like, you're learning, Yeah, I'm learning. Yeah,

1554
01:11:31,479 --> 01:11:33,400
Speaker 1: I know faces though, But yeah, we had a great time.

1555
01:11:33,439 --> 01:11:37,479
Speaker 1: We had this one advertiser was like, uh, cheese wrapped

1556
01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:40,000
Speaker 1: with bacon. It was crazy. If y'all go to Capital Grill,

1557
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:43,439
Speaker 1: y'all gotta try. You're like, what did you end up yet?

1558
01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:47,519
Speaker 1: What was I gotta five? Yeah? How do you have

1559
01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:49,720
Speaker 1: your steak cooked. There's only one answer to this for

1560
01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:54,720
Speaker 1: us anyway, medium rare. Ah Uh, it's the only way.

1561
01:11:55,280 --> 01:12:00,600
Speaker 1: What his name forty two forty two curtis something he

1562
01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:02,760
Speaker 1: he got medium and he tried to force me to

1563
01:12:02,840 --> 01:12:04,880
Speaker 1: get it. There was no you what do you do here?

1564
01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:12,400
Speaker 1: Medium media, medium rare usually well done. I'm okay. I

1565
01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:14,080
Speaker 1: was gonna say that was gonna be the first, like

1566
01:12:14,479 --> 01:12:20,240
Speaker 1: the first demeraths. Nathan grew up on a ranch in Montana.

1567
01:12:20,280 --> 01:12:23,360
Speaker 1: They raised and he had a dad, and one of

1568
01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:25,800
Speaker 1: the things his dad said was, if you're gonna eat beef,

1569
01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:27,519
Speaker 1: you eat at medium rare. You don't need it at all.

1570
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:29,559
Speaker 1: That's right, if you're gonna need a steak. So that's

1571
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:32,000
Speaker 1: something that I took note of it immediately and then

1572
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:33,680
Speaker 1: and I've been doing it ever since. And so that's

1573
01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:35,160
Speaker 1: the way that it's gone. And my father taught me

1574
01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:36,479
Speaker 1: the same thing as I say, you come from a

1575
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:40,320
Speaker 1: long line of Croatian carnivores and we crushed demand or

1576
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:46,360
Speaker 1: rare or you're gonna like for me, you're gonna get there.

1577
01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:51,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna here's beautiful. Here's what let's we will wait

1578
01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:55,800
Speaker 1: into it. Maybe next order go medium what is it

1579
01:12:55,920 --> 01:12:59,080
Speaker 1: medium meat? No? Medium, medium rare? Yeah you say that

1580
01:12:59,800 --> 01:13:02,439
Speaker 1: me a medium rare. Then you get in between and

1581
01:13:02,479 --> 01:13:04,120
Speaker 1: then you get the medium are. Then you're gonna like

1582
01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:07,200
Speaker 1: it's a hundred twenty nine degrees red, perfect, still warm,

1583
01:13:09,320 --> 01:13:11,880
Speaker 1: just enough for the fat to melt and matriculate into

1584
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:14,280
Speaker 1: the meat. But you don't lose anything because you know,

1585
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:16,080
Speaker 1: you start to lose, get a little more of the grain.

1586
01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:20,799
Speaker 1: There we're talking top to bottom, red man of your spirit.

1587
01:13:20,880 --> 01:13:24,360
Speaker 1: I think that yes, yes, yes, he's come a long

1588
01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:27,360
Speaker 1: way though he's come from well done. We're making we're

1589
01:13:27,400 --> 01:13:29,880
Speaker 1: getting there. Yeah, we're making progress. You know. The cool

1590
01:13:29,960 --> 01:13:33,519
Speaker 1: thing about you is obviously all of the all of

1591
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:35,519
Speaker 1: the stuff we're talking about, and we're not even talking

1592
01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:38,960
Speaker 1: about how good you are, like all of this. It's

1593
01:13:39,080 --> 01:13:43,200
Speaker 1: right like you're such a great personality. Just immediately everyone

1594
01:13:43,400 --> 01:13:45,360
Speaker 1: raps are the fan base, raps are arms around you,

1595
01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:48,280
Speaker 1: and I don't know how many people who already love

1596
01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:50,560
Speaker 1: you just love you for the personality and have no

1597
01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:53,120
Speaker 1: idea how great you are. And we've seen a great

1598
01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:55,960
Speaker 1: quarterback from Iowa State. That's what I didn't go well,

1599
01:13:56,720 --> 01:13:58,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if I don't know if he's able

1600
01:13:58,360 --> 01:14:01,639
Speaker 1: to answer, quite frankly, that part of it. How excited

1601
01:14:01,680 --> 01:14:03,000
Speaker 1: are you to say? Way, do you get a load

1602
01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:05,400
Speaker 1: to me? Exactly? That's that's the part I keep telling

1603
01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:07,560
Speaker 1: everybody about. That's what I told the guy at the

1604
01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:10,120
Speaker 1: restaurant about, Like, I'm glad you're buying my jersey, was

1605
01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:12,240
Speaker 1: just way to help with the past or you're gonna

1606
01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:13,840
Speaker 1: be trying to buy a couple of jerseys. I'm just

1607
01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:16,479
Speaker 1: excited to be out there with guys like Miles Garrett.

1608
01:14:16,520 --> 01:14:19,519
Speaker 1: Hopefully j Daveon Clowney comes back, and I know when

1609
01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:21,519
Speaker 1: I have those guys next to me and the secondary

1610
01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:24,880
Speaker 1: that we have, I feel like virtually unstoppable because there's

1611
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:26,560
Speaker 1: nothing that I'm worried about. I feel like we have

1612
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:29,880
Speaker 1: no weaknesses on our defense when it is the secondary

1613
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:34,360
Speaker 1: or the the linebackers or um. There's a whole lot

1614
01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:36,840
Speaker 1: of talent on the defense. I've never been on a talent,

1615
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:39,639
Speaker 1: more more talented defense like this before in my life.

1616
01:14:40,040 --> 01:14:42,519
Speaker 1: So here's the thing that I don't know people appreciate,

1617
01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:44,320
Speaker 1: and and I don't know if you would agree with

1618
01:14:44,400 --> 01:14:46,720
Speaker 1: the sincere, if you would feel comfortable agreeing with it,

1619
01:14:46,800 --> 01:14:49,519
Speaker 1: But you played a lot of nose. In college, you're

1620
01:14:49,520 --> 01:14:52,280
Speaker 1: gonna be playing a lot of three tex. There's a

1621
01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:55,519
Speaker 1: big difference in what you're asked to do at those

1622
01:14:55,560 --> 01:14:57,519
Speaker 1: two positions. When you're trying to eat space, take on

1623
01:14:57,600 --> 01:14:59,360
Speaker 1: double teams and allow other people to make places a

1624
01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:02,360
Speaker 1: three technique, they wants you penetrating and making plays in

1625
01:15:02,360 --> 01:15:04,160
Speaker 1: the backfield and getting of course, which you are very

1626
01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:06,240
Speaker 1: good at. So you could make a case that in

1627
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:09,200
Speaker 1: college you played a lot of the time out of position,

1628
01:15:09,240 --> 01:15:11,160
Speaker 1: out of necessity because of your size, and that's what

1629
01:15:11,200 --> 01:15:12,960
Speaker 1: you're trying to do in that defense. But you're actually

1630
01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:15,519
Speaker 1: going to be in a system now and in a

1631
01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:20,000
Speaker 1: scheme and in a position that actually suits your skills better.

1632
01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:22,760
Speaker 1: Do you agree with that? Definitely, definitely agree with that.

1633
01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:25,519
Speaker 1: And I feel like it's just the transition has been

1634
01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:27,640
Speaker 1: smoothed so far because a lot of the players that

1635
01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:29,160
Speaker 1: we're running now were a lot of the players that

1636
01:15:29,200 --> 01:15:30,760
Speaker 1: we were running at the Senior Bowl. So I feel

1637
01:15:30,760 --> 01:15:34,680
Speaker 1: like the transition has been, uh, definitely easier because I

1638
01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:37,120
Speaker 1: just came in really knowing like some of the calls

1639
01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:38,880
Speaker 1: and like some of the names already, just because we

1640
01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:40,519
Speaker 1: were at the Senior Bowl and then it's just exciting

1641
01:15:40,640 --> 01:15:44,000
Speaker 1: to know that the Senior Bowl was just a glimpse

1642
01:15:44,040 --> 01:15:45,800
Speaker 1: of what I could do with three. And that's how

1643
01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:47,519
Speaker 1: I said the Senior Bowl, you did play three tacking

1644
01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:51,880
Speaker 1: and you are the m v P. No the deal itself.

1645
01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:55,960
Speaker 1: You were not afraid at all. Um. You The other

1646
01:15:56,040 --> 01:15:57,840
Speaker 1: thing that comes with it is is you know, when

1647
01:15:57,840 --> 01:16:00,120
Speaker 1: you think about perfect storms, part of that make being

1648
01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:03,080
Speaker 1: a perfect stormers opportunity and opportunity in the middle of

1649
01:16:03,160 --> 01:16:06,200
Speaker 1: this defense is here. There's a lot of young guys. Um,

1650
01:16:06,479 --> 01:16:09,400
Speaker 1: there's a lot of room to fight for playing time. Um,

1651
01:16:09,600 --> 01:16:12,120
Speaker 1: when when you when it all settled on draft Day

1652
01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:13,680
Speaker 1: and you were able to to your point, I mean,

1653
01:16:13,720 --> 01:16:16,160
Speaker 1: not how how familiar can you be with every team

1654
01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:17,360
Speaker 1: in the NFL, But when you were ever to look

1655
01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:20,280
Speaker 1: at the depth turn go okay, there's there's opera. There's

1656
01:16:20,439 --> 01:16:23,240
Speaker 1: probably as much opportunity here at defensive tackle as there

1657
01:16:23,320 --> 01:16:26,120
Speaker 1: is is anywhere in the league. See. At first, I

1658
01:16:26,320 --> 01:16:28,760
Speaker 1: was obviously because I feel like I didn't shouldn't have

1659
01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:31,040
Speaker 1: been slipped to the fourth round. I was pissed at first,

1660
01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:33,600
Speaker 1: but then after a while, I was actually happy. I

1661
01:16:33,800 --> 01:16:35,799
Speaker 1: feel like I was blessed to be in a position

1662
01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:37,120
Speaker 1: that I was in to be able to play around

1663
01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:38,519
Speaker 1: the people that I could be able to play around.

1664
01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:40,679
Speaker 1: I feel like I was like, this is the perfect

1665
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:44,120
Speaker 1: fit for me. Like everything about Cleveland just fits my

1666
01:16:44,240 --> 01:16:47,160
Speaker 1: personality and a dog pound itself, It's just matches my

1667
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:49,800
Speaker 1: identity as a whole. So after a while I started

1668
01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:51,559
Speaker 1: to fall in love with the fact that I became

1669
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:53,760
Speaker 1: in Cleveland brown from the moment I got drafted, to

1670
01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:55,760
Speaker 1: be honest, realizing that I was going to be a

1671
01:16:55,800 --> 01:16:58,080
Speaker 1: part of something special, it's awesome. I'll take you back

1672
01:16:58,120 --> 01:16:59,920
Speaker 1: to the day that you got drafted. We came in

1673
01:17:00,160 --> 01:17:02,160
Speaker 1: here and it was obviously Browns had the third pick

1674
01:17:02,200 --> 01:17:05,400
Speaker 1: of the day, and I remember going into the cafe

1675
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:08,320
Speaker 1: before people was like, where were you the show starting,

1676
01:17:08,360 --> 01:17:10,560
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm here. People relaxed. I'm telling you know,

1677
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:12,920
Speaker 1: I got plenty of time here. So I'm down in there,

1678
01:17:13,360 --> 01:17:14,880
Speaker 1: down in there in the cafe, and I ran into

1679
01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:16,439
Speaker 1: a couple people in our front office and a couple

1680
01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:19,720
Speaker 1: of the coaches on d that I know and U.

1681
01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:21,519
Speaker 1: A couple were just kind of got to talk in

1682
01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:23,160
Speaker 1: and they're like, you know, who, who do you like here?

1683
01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:26,120
Speaker 1: What do you think we're gonna do Perry on Winfrey,

1684
01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:28,720
Speaker 1: and they all were like they all gave me the

1685
01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:32,599
Speaker 1: look where it was like I knew we were, Yeah,

1686
01:17:32,680 --> 01:17:34,920
Speaker 1: that's what we're doing, yes and so, and then sure enough,

1687
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:37,680
Speaker 1: so it happened. So it's sometimes and the one thing

1688
01:17:37,720 --> 01:17:39,439
Speaker 1: that you're gonna I think you'll learn and you'll find

1689
01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:41,760
Speaker 1: very quickly and as soon as you get out there

1690
01:17:41,760 --> 01:17:44,479
Speaker 1: and put the pads on, like where you got drafted matters,

1691
01:17:44,479 --> 01:17:46,360
Speaker 1: of course, It matters on the of course, and it

1692
01:17:46,479 --> 01:17:48,880
Speaker 1: matters in the length of the leash that they would

1693
01:17:48,880 --> 01:17:51,920
Speaker 1: give somebody who is not meeting the expectations they had

1694
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:54,240
Speaker 1: for them. Right, But once you get out there and play,

1695
01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:57,439
Speaker 1: we talk about it's about who can play. And I

1696
01:17:57,520 --> 01:17:59,320
Speaker 1: know you're gonna be able to play. You're gonna and

1697
01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:01,519
Speaker 1: I know you're gonna work to make sure that you're

1698
01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:03,000
Speaker 1: able to do this. And I think that's what's cool

1699
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:04,160
Speaker 1: about it. And it gives you a little chip on

1700
01:18:04,160 --> 01:18:05,720
Speaker 1: your shoulder, not that you needed when you were born

1701
01:18:05,760 --> 01:18:09,280
Speaker 1: a dog. We know, no choice. It definitely was added

1702
01:18:09,320 --> 01:18:11,720
Speaker 1: motivation just seeing my name slipping the draft and then

1703
01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:13,800
Speaker 1: it just clicked in my head like once the draft

1704
01:18:13,880 --> 01:18:16,600
Speaker 1: was over all rookies like like like five stars and

1705
01:18:16,680 --> 01:18:19,479
Speaker 1: four stars in college, Like, once you get to college,

1706
01:18:19,840 --> 01:18:21,439
Speaker 1: those stars don't matter. You got to go out there

1707
01:18:21,479 --> 01:18:23,320
Speaker 1: and performance. So I'm just ready to be able to

1708
01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:25,080
Speaker 1: go out there and this show the world what I

1709
01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:27,840
Speaker 1: can do. I like real talk how he described it.

1710
01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:30,200
Speaker 1: Real talk, Real talk happens on the field. Did you

1711
01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:33,560
Speaker 1: say to my son boot that's real talk? Is that

1712
01:18:34,280 --> 01:18:37,760
Speaker 1: the real truth? Do you? Um? Did you in your

1716
01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:49,920
Speaker 1: over that tip over when you were there. No, it

1717
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:51,880
Speaker 1: was the year before I came. You're aware of this.

1808
01:24:02,520 --> 01:24:05,519
Speaker 1: with the special edition of Cleveland Brown's Daily, here's Nathan's

1809
01:24:05,560 --> 01:24:08,639
Speaker 1: exclusive one on one with your Davy and Clowney. Welcome back, brother,

1810
01:24:08,720 --> 01:24:10,240
Speaker 1: good to see you. It's good to be back. It's

1811
01:24:10,240 --> 01:24:12,720
Speaker 1: good to be back. So when you're thinking about things

1812
01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:15,120
Speaker 1: this offseason, and I know last year, nine sacks, this

1813
01:24:15,240 --> 01:24:16,960
Speaker 1: defense had a great run at the end of the year,

1814
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:19,960
Speaker 1: some unfinished business, perhaps you could say what made you

1815
01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:22,040
Speaker 1: decided to come back to the Cleveland Browns. I just

1816
01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:23,960
Speaker 1: want to chase that Super Bowl. I think we got

1817
01:24:24,040 --> 01:24:25,639
Speaker 1: a shot at it. We had a great defense last

1818
01:24:25,720 --> 01:24:27,240
Speaker 1: year and went out and got some more key players

1819
01:24:27,280 --> 01:24:29,160
Speaker 1: on offense and some more on defense, and I just

1820
01:24:29,240 --> 01:24:31,759
Speaker 1: feel like we got a shot. And uh, I wudn't

1821
01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:33,120
Speaker 1: want to do it. No better team than one I

1822
01:24:33,200 --> 01:24:35,560
Speaker 1: just played with last year. Why do you think you

1823
01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:37,240
Speaker 1: were able to have the success that you did in

1824
01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:40,000
Speaker 1: this defense last year with the nine sexes, we talked

1825
01:24:40,040 --> 01:24:41,760
Speaker 1: about and then hopefully to be able to build upon

1826
01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:43,760
Speaker 1: that this year. I feel like that was my first

1827
01:24:43,840 --> 01:24:46,160
Speaker 1: time really been in a traditional four three and just

1828
01:24:46,280 --> 01:24:49,240
Speaker 1: really getting out to the quarterback and great group of guys.

1829
01:24:49,280 --> 01:24:51,720
Speaker 1: Our friend wasn't just me individual work. It was a

1830
01:24:51,760 --> 01:24:54,519
Speaker 1: team effort and friend and did their job, and the

1831
01:24:54,600 --> 01:24:56,240
Speaker 1: back it was doing a job. And we just had

1832
01:24:56,280 --> 01:24:59,280
Speaker 1: a total team thing together on defense. And I just

1833
01:24:59,320 --> 01:25:01,120
Speaker 1: hope we continue to do that this year. Yeah, you

1834
01:25:01,160 --> 01:25:03,519
Speaker 1: think about the back seven, they're all back for the

1835
01:25:03,640 --> 01:25:06,559
Speaker 1: most part, and then you've got Miles Garrett back obviously

1836
01:25:06,640 --> 01:25:09,080
Speaker 1: opposite you. Let's talk about Miles. Obviously he was out

1837
01:25:09,080 --> 01:25:11,680
Speaker 1: there on the recruiting trail trying to get you back here.

1838
01:25:11,880 --> 01:25:13,640
Speaker 1: What was he saying to you and what were the

1839
01:25:13,680 --> 01:25:15,200
Speaker 1: guys saying trying to make sure you got back here

1840
01:25:15,240 --> 01:25:17,719
Speaker 1: in the brown and orange. He was really like before

1841
01:25:17,720 --> 01:25:19,120
Speaker 1: I left last year, like, are you gonna come back

1842
01:25:19,120 --> 01:25:20,479
Speaker 1: and back with me? I say, yeah, we're gonna have

1843
01:25:20,520 --> 01:25:22,360
Speaker 1: them make that run. We get a good uh a

1844
01:25:22,439 --> 01:25:24,840
Speaker 1: good staying going on offense. Man, you know we can

1845
01:25:24,880 --> 01:25:27,320
Speaker 1: do our here together. So I said, uh, let's see

1846
01:25:27,320 --> 01:25:28,840
Speaker 1: what we can do this that's running back and that's

1847
01:25:28,840 --> 01:25:30,439
Speaker 1: what we're doing, man, try to run it back and

1848
01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:32,360
Speaker 1: go ahead and played better when we did last year.

1849
01:25:33,080 --> 01:25:34,400
Speaker 1: Was it good to just get back here on the

1850
01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:36,640
Speaker 1: field and get back with the guys. Oh? I felt great, man,

1851
01:25:36,640 --> 01:25:38,920
Speaker 1: I missed you got a told them I enjoyed this far. Man.

1852
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:41,080
Speaker 1: This is just like exciting to me. Be I hed

1853
01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:42,560
Speaker 1: kicking it with Down. That's the most I get to

1854
01:25:42,600 --> 01:25:44,960
Speaker 1: talk to guys and just really just be around him

1855
01:25:44,960 --> 01:25:46,400
Speaker 1: to have a good time with him. So I'll be

1856
01:25:46,479 --> 01:25:49,000
Speaker 1: looking forward to that part. A lot of familiar faces

1857
01:25:49,040 --> 01:25:51,360
Speaker 1: as we talked about, but some new ones as well.

1858
01:25:51,720 --> 01:25:53,439
Speaker 1: What's kind of it? Like? You know, getting back here

1859
01:25:53,439 --> 01:25:54,960
Speaker 1: every year is a new year in the NFL, But

1860
01:25:55,040 --> 01:25:57,160
Speaker 1: seeing this group and does it feel any different? Does

1861
01:25:57,200 --> 01:25:59,360
Speaker 1: it feel any different than a year ago? I definitely do.

1862
01:25:59,439 --> 01:26:01,479
Speaker 1: It's like I'm not walking in on getting to know guys.

1863
01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:03,920
Speaker 1: I'm already know him and that's a better feeling than

1864
01:26:03,960 --> 01:26:05,800
Speaker 1: and just coming into a locker room. I gotta learn

1865
01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:08,120
Speaker 1: new guys and learning a new system. Walking into the

1866
01:26:08,120 --> 01:26:10,080
Speaker 1: locker room now that I know and I know the

1867
01:26:10,120 --> 01:26:13,080
Speaker 1: system is a much better feeling. Like you know, It's

1868
01:26:13,120 --> 01:26:15,800
Speaker 1: just that feeling, man, like you just always excited, like

1869
01:26:15,880 --> 01:26:17,800
Speaker 1: I'm excited to be around them. I already know what

1870
01:26:17,920 --> 01:26:19,519
Speaker 1: I'm dealing with. I know how I got, I know

1871
01:26:19,600 --> 01:26:21,240
Speaker 1: what we can do together. Just hoping we'll just take

1872
01:26:21,280 --> 01:26:23,479
Speaker 1: that another step forward further and get where we need

1873
01:26:23,520 --> 01:26:25,599
Speaker 1: to get this season. Yeah, it's it's the first time

1874
01:26:25,600 --> 01:26:27,599
Speaker 1: in a while for you, right, the same coaching staff,

1875
01:26:27,680 --> 01:26:30,200
Speaker 1: every every position room on the defense, the same same

1876
01:26:30,280 --> 01:26:33,479
Speaker 1: principal players back on defense, same head coach. All that

1877
01:26:34,040 --> 01:26:36,200
Speaker 1: it's gotta be nice. Right, that's a great feeling. Like

1878
01:26:36,240 --> 01:26:38,040
Speaker 1: I said, I can play fast and how to thank

1879
01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:39,920
Speaker 1: that much. I know what's going on. I know who

1880
01:26:39,960 --> 01:26:42,280
Speaker 1: around me, I know how they play on behind me.

1881
01:26:42,640 --> 01:26:44,280
Speaker 1: I can know who look behind and say, oh I

1882
01:26:44,360 --> 01:26:46,000
Speaker 1: know this guy. I've been playing with them for a year,

1883
01:26:46,160 --> 01:26:49,320
Speaker 1: Like you gotta develop that chemistry with players, and I

1884
01:26:49,439 --> 01:26:51,320
Speaker 1: think just just being with them over a year and

1885
01:26:51,720 --> 01:26:53,640
Speaker 1: going to year two, they know who I am. I

1886
01:26:53,720 --> 01:26:55,080
Speaker 1: kind of gotta feeling on who they is, and I

1887
01:26:55,120 --> 01:26:56,519
Speaker 1: think it's gonna work out a lot better than this

1888
01:26:56,600 --> 01:26:59,120
Speaker 1: year than the year before. Really, the only kind of

1889
01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:01,840
Speaker 1: maybe new faces will be in between you and Miles, Right,

1890
01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:03,600
Speaker 1: And so what's it been like get to know some

1891
01:27:03,720 --> 01:27:05,040
Speaker 1: of those guys that I know. We have a rather

1892
01:27:05,120 --> 01:27:07,800
Speaker 1: boisterous young fella in that room as well, our draft

1893
01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:10,720
Speaker 1: pick out of Oklahoma, Perry on Winfrey. I think he's

1894
01:27:10,720 --> 01:27:12,320
Speaker 1: gonna be a good player. I've been getting on him

1895
01:27:12,320 --> 01:27:14,479
Speaker 1: all I told, hey, you're gonna be the biggest piece

1896
01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:16,920
Speaker 1: really to this defense. It all started with the middle

1897
01:27:17,240 --> 01:27:19,240
Speaker 1: of the defense. Literally. You know, they can talk about

1898
01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:21,680
Speaker 1: the ends all they want, but you're really gonna hold

1899
01:27:21,720 --> 01:27:24,519
Speaker 1: a defense together. It's like to glue to the defense,

1900
01:27:24,560 --> 01:27:27,000
Speaker 1: the de tackle and he gotta play big for this year.

1901
01:27:27,080 --> 01:27:28,639
Speaker 1: He know that. I think he'd coming to work every

1902
01:27:28,720 --> 01:27:30,720
Speaker 1: day right now since I meant saying even working well,

1903
01:27:31,080 --> 01:27:33,040
Speaker 1: he learned to play book and I'm just looking forward

1904
01:27:33,040 --> 01:27:34,639
Speaker 1: to seeing where he brings to the defense this year.

1905
01:27:35,080 --> 01:27:37,559
Speaker 1: Continuity on defense, we've talked about that offense, some changes,

1906
01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:40,640
Speaker 1: new quarterback DeShawn Watson. I'm already Cooper is into the

1907
01:27:40,720 --> 01:27:42,720
Speaker 1: fold as well. Then those running backs are back and

1908
01:27:42,880 --> 01:27:44,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna get tight, and David and Joeku back as well.

1909
01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:46,639
Speaker 1: But what's it been like? Just as you were observing,

1910
01:27:46,640 --> 01:27:48,559
Speaker 1: because there was a lot of chatter out there already today,

1911
01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:50,920
Speaker 1: even in the seven on sevens but observing that offense,

1912
01:27:51,040 --> 01:27:53,400
Speaker 1: you know, that's my boy to Sean, and uh, I

1913
01:27:53,520 --> 01:27:55,200
Speaker 1: was happy by him coming here, and I told him

1914
01:27:55,360 --> 01:27:57,240
Speaker 1: if he come back, I was gonna follow him. So

1915
01:27:57,640 --> 01:27:59,280
Speaker 1: when he came back here, I told, you know, you

1916
01:27:59,400 --> 01:28:01,840
Speaker 1: got yourself another Cleveland Brown up there right now. They're

1917
01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:05,120
Speaker 1: just getting me up there. So I already know he

1918
01:28:05,160 --> 01:28:07,519
Speaker 1: can bring to the team I played with him. A

1919
01:28:07,640 --> 01:28:09,880
Speaker 1: great player to have on your team, a great leader

1920
01:28:10,439 --> 01:28:12,120
Speaker 1: he can make, he can make them plays out there

1921
01:28:12,160 --> 01:28:13,720
Speaker 1: on the field. And just looking forward to see what

1922
01:28:13,800 --> 01:28:16,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna do out there, it's like just lock in this,

1923
01:28:16,560 --> 01:28:18,439
Speaker 1: be excited about can't wait to see what happened. You

1924
01:28:18,479 --> 01:28:20,000
Speaker 1: look forward to a big player happen, knowing he can

1925
01:28:20,040 --> 01:28:22,599
Speaker 1: make it happen. And uh, knowing that on defense, he's

1926
01:28:22,640 --> 01:28:24,280
Speaker 1: just like, hey, this is you had to do our job,

1927
01:28:24,880 --> 01:28:26,880
Speaker 1: rush that pass and just get to that quarterback because

1928
01:28:26,880 --> 01:28:28,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna get playing the opportunities this year with him

1929
01:28:28,720 --> 01:28:30,479
Speaker 1: at quarterback. Did you try to allow me to be

1930
01:28:30,520 --> 01:28:33,639
