1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,600
Speaker 1: Look at the roster and what we have in the

2
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: coaching staff. We should win games. We have to performed though.

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna hold ourselves to the high standard no matter

4
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: what happens, and Deepness gonna do what they do. And

5
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: last time I heard they can't win a t elsecope once.

6
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,480

00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: good to hear you. What do you know? What do

17
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: you say? My friend? Well, it's definitely good to hear

18
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: and see you as well. Kenneth. It's unfortunately here it's

19
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: a fantastic day. Finally we get ready for some football.

20
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: Let's get it gone with four downs first, alright, two

21
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: season starts in Carolina, a lot of distractions, an opener

22
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: on the road, Baker and his T shirts? How do

23
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: you block out the noise? And what's the key to

24
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: not being too amped up on on Sunday at one pm? Buddy,

25
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: Well for the defense, Can I have nothing of issue

26
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: with you being amped up, fire up and ready to

27
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: go to get after Baker Mayfield because you want to

28
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: apply that pressure. You want to let know the shirts

29
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: as well as if he did or didn't say I'm

30
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: gonna blank them up, you still want to get after

31
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: him and let him know that you're intense about the situation.

32
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: You hear me say it all the time. You want

33
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: to match and surpass the intensity, especially on the deepest side. Now, offensively,

34
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: I don't need those guys going nuts and crazy yelling

35
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: and having a lot of just issues. Oh but not

36
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: far as being fired up. Go out there and just

37
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: play with the emotion, but don't let emotion get the

38
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: best of you. And if you can do that, then

39
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: you have a great chance of doing something significant in

40
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: this football game. So in my mind. Yeah, you want

41
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: to go out there, but you're not play to a

42
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: high level and be passionate. But you're not worried about

43
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield because ultimately, on the offensive side, you're going

44
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: out there to beat the Carolina Panthers defense, not defensively.

45
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: That's a whole another situation. Very true about that, and

46
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: it's a big moment here for this Cleveland Browns football team.

47
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: On the offensive side, Jacobe bur said he'll start for

48
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns. And this wide receiver room, it has

49
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: been criticized all throughout this training camp. We haven't seen

50
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: a Mari Cooper really just yet. Donovan People showings how

51
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: to catch against the Chicago Bears. He actually lad that

52
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: wide receiver room, coming back in receiving yards last year

53
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: with just five nineties seven with the exception of a

54
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: Mari and the Cowboys tried to move on from him

55
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: as soon as they possibly could. There's a lot to prove,

56
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: and it starts on Sunday Gerade and this certainly is

57
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: obviously dominant. People's Jones has something to prove because he's

58
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: gonna be a starter. Last year, he was a third receiver,

59
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: board receiver at times, depending on what the lineup was

60
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: with Odell and Jarvis being in the lineup, So you

61
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: also have Bell and obviously Sports to have something to prove.

62
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 1: And if we look at what took place during the

63
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: course of the preseason, it was a mixed message in there.

64
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: There wasn't a lot of consistency between the both of them,

65
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: so they'll have their opportunities. But at the end of

66
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: the day, we did not see a Mari and a

67
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: Mari as we've seen from practice, unit had the opportunity

68
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: to set up close and personally that he is a performer.

69
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: He borns some of the best routes you'll see in

70
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: the National Football League. So we're telling him to be

71
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: that thousand yard plus wide receiver into helen his own.

72
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: But if you can get some contribution from Bell and

73
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: from Sports and obviously have dimint people's Jones played like

74
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: a true number one one and not be a third

75
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: fourth guy in his production level but surpassed what he

76
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: did last season or double that better yet, then we

77
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,839
Speaker 1: have something mixed in the mix. But obviously, I think

78
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: more so than anything can it's gonna be a situation

79
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: where the running backs are going to set up our

80
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: passing game and that guys they're gonna stack the box

81
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: and try to stop Nick Chubb as well as Kareem Hunt.

82
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: And with that in mind, you should win your one

83
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: on one matchups, be you the one to two, the three,

84
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 1: or the fourth wide receiver. Well, for Amari Cooper, and

85
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: I mentioned the Cowboys trying to move on from first,

86
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: they'd love to have him, I bet right now with

87
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: all the injuries that they have. But it's so weird

88
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys decided to make that decision. Gerade. He

89
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: is one. Amari Cooper is one of five wide receivers

90
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: in the league. When you mentioned Davante Adams, Stefon Digs,

91
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: Mike Evans, DeAndre Hopkins, I mean that is elite company.

92
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: One of those five to register at least seven thousand

93
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: receiving yards and forty five receiving touchdowns already in his

94
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: eighth year. He's got a lot to prove, Yes he will.

95
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: I would say he's consistent before having a lot to prove,

96
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: and if anything, maybe the Cowboys think he has something

97
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: to prove. But in his mind, like I'm a prose

98
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: pro and he goes out there with the mentality I'm

99
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: going to continue to consistently, consistently, rather do what I've

100
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: always done, and what is that I make plays. I

101
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: had a little bit of a drop off do the

102
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: injury last year, but I'm still if you look at

103
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: my numbers, if it if it's if you push it

104
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: out to what it would look like how to participate

105
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: in seventeen games, I have similar numbers. So for me,

106
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: for Cooper is just might of just being consistent in

107
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: what you've always done. Don't ask me to do extra

108
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: into much that I'm not. Just be me and he'll

109
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: be a Okay, it's time for a second down. Second down? Well,

110
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: you know the Brown struggle in openers, We've won one

111
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: and tired one since nineteen even with it being a

112
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: new year, Gerarde, the way isn't lingering on this football

113
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: team because a lot of these guys, goodness gracious, I

114
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: was in my freshman year of college the last time

115
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: that we've won an opener, And if I'm looking at that,

116
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: some of these guys were about nine years old, eight

117
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: years old. A couple of them are four years old.

118
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: When the last time the Problems want an open it'd

119
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: be nice to get the monkey off their back, it

120
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: would be But so much of this team's identity has

121
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: changed due to personnel changes that is not as severe

122
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: and not as prevalent in the minds of the majority

123
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: of the team. That's why I can honestly say I

124
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: don't think it's that big of a deal to the

125
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: guys there. In their mind, it's like, hey, we're to

126
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. It's a new season, a new year, a

127
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 1: new team. Because when you ever you have a quarterback

128
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: shift and you take that guy off the roster, kin,

129
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: you have a new identity, especially on the offensive siety.

130
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: So I think even though you've had the Batonios, the

131
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: Tellers around, and even the Hubbard and Conkling around and

132
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 1: Nick as well as Kareem, I don't think it's that

133
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: mentality of one man we always lose openers. I think

134
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: the mentality is here's another opportunity and chance. Who cares

135
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: about last year because so much has changed in regard

136
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: to the roster and what this team represents for a

137
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: personnel standpoint, I think you're right about that. I think

138
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 1: for fans, you know, a lot of us we have

139
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: a lifetime contract, so we we have long memories. We

140
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 1: remember that Jenevian Clownie Miles Garrett, those cats, they weren't

141
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: here way back then, so they're trying to just go

142
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: one and oh, win this football game. Obviously, there's other

143
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: conversations to be had, and we'll talk about those coming

144
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: up in a bit, obviously, but you want to be

145
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: able to go out win this football game, get to one,

146
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: to know, start to put some hay in the barn,

147
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: and get going in the season. I think that that's

148
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: what everybody's focused on. But for us, yeah, it does

149
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: become a different conversation because you and I have been

150
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: around for a long time, and I've been watching the

151
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: Browns all my life and it has been just so

152
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: often that the Brons have started, Oh in one, it

153
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: would be nice to get things going one to know,

154
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: and get going in the right direction. It certainly would

155
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: be And you always want to win week one because

156
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: so much emotions, so much preparation has gone into preparing

157
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: for week one, and it's that why have you did

158
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: installations for the past two weeks, that's for one opponent,

159
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: and on top of that doing a course of training camp.

160
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: You were still mixing some looks in some installation for

161
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers. So to have all that work and

162
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: to come up short, that is at that hurts you,

163
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: That is daunting. It is frustrating to say the least,

164
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: doesn't justify the work that's happened in the off season.

165
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: I know, hey, you got sixteen games left to go

166
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: for goodness gracious sake, and the Browns were of playoff

167
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: team after going over on one. But in that in

168
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: the immediacy of a Week one win, does it kind

169
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: of justify what you've been doing. It justifies your ability

170
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: to get prepared for that first game and get the

171
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: job done, because one of the biggest fears that you

172
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: have is, Okay, did I give the guys enough from

173
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: a physical standpoint to be ready for the game to

174
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: sustain playing in two halves of the poser just a

175
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: series or two or a half in a preseason game.

176
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: Did I put too much on their plate or too

177
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: little on their play from adjustment standpoint and given the

178
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: defense and offensive opposing team different looks. Those are the

179
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: things that go through your mind. But ultimately, can you

180
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: you want to win Week one just for momentum sake,

181
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: and there's nothing wrong with that. But we've seen on

182
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: many of occasions where a team can start out six,

183
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: and oh, seven and oh and then I know where

184
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: to be found come playoff time. You'd rather be that

185
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: team that around week seven, eight, nine, and ten. You

186
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: know who you are and what your identity is, and

187
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 1: you are winning football games on the regular and you're

188
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: playing clean, high level, complimentary, if you will football, and

189
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: it's time for third down, Third down. First injury report

190
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: of the season is on for Sunday. The players who

191
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: were limited today Jack Conklin with a knee injury, coming

192
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: back from that knee injury, but he did participate. Grant

Speaker 1: with his hamstring, Chase Winovich with his hamstring, Michael Woods,

195
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: the second the wide receiver, the rookie with his hamstring

196
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: was limited. Jadeveon Claude was the only one who did

197
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: not practice with an elbow and he was sick today

198
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: so he was excused. Also full today, A J. Green,

199
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: Ronnie Harris and Chris Hubbard and Isaiah Thomas all were

200
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: full participants in practice for the Carolina Panthers. Eddie Pinerro,

201
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: the kicker with a hip injury. He was a full

202
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 1: participant in Giovanni Ricci, the tight end he with a

203
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: hip injury was limited today. So a lot of names

204
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: on that injury list, but a lot of full partis

205
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: Spence should be good to go on Sunday. Should there

206
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: not be, well, they should be. But anytime you hear

207
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: illness in his day and age with COVID and what

208
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: that represents you, how you pause for concerning because you

209
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 1: never know, you never know, So I had to take

210
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: that serious. And also to mc conklin, the fact that

211
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: he's coming overcoming a knee injury where he stands and

212
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: is he ready to go and with the hamstrings, you

213
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: have to take that serious. It's too serious as well

214
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: because it's an iffy injury and you could do just

215
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: a little minute thing and reaggravated in being an issue

216
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: where you can't go. So all those things I hear,

217
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: I take serious because we saw what took place from

218
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: towards during the course rather of preseason and what training

219
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: camp looked like, and a lot of those guys were

220
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: limited due to the injuries. Time for fourth down team

221
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: captains announced by coach Stefanski on Wednesday. Five season long

222
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: captains in a six on game day from the offense,

223
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: Joe brattonio, Nick Chubb from the defense, Myles Garrett, Anthony

224
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 1: Walker Junior Special Teams Captain will be Charlie Hewlett. Uh

225
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: interesting that two guys who let their play doing the

226
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: talking instead of the podium were named captain Sarah Gerard

227
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: always So there are these two guys. Obviously one is

228
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb as the other. But Tonio yes, because I

229
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: know Miles Charlie, So who is the two? I don't

230
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: know what to figure out, but I don't know the

231
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: question mak her on the bus, but I was like,

232
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: who's the guy? I don't know if I know what

233
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: Charlie Hellett's voice sounds like. To be honest with you, Uh, well,

234
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,599
Speaker 1: with that in mind, though, you yes, to answer the

235
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: question the way I believe what he's framing and asking is.

236
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: I do believe that you can have guys who are quiet,

237
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: who don't say anything, but are silent assassins, and their

238
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: their their speech and their talk is representing how they

239
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: played football. And with Nick Chubb, we saw her through

240
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: the course of training camp, always sprinting, always running hard.

241
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: Though he didn't play it down in the preseason games.

242
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: You walked away from watching him and observing him in

243
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: practice thinking to yourself. This guy is ready to play

244
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: to date. That's the impression he gave in practice. And

245
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: for the other guy who's that silent assassin, if you will,

246
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: who doesn't speak much, but let's it's pat work do

247
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: the talking. It's the same thing. Guys know who out

248
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: there is working hard. Guys know who also is out

249
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: there representing and whose type of play in the career

250
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: that they want to emulate in half. And when you

251
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 1: have guys in a position to represent the team and

252
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: you put them in a position of power and they

253
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: don't abuse it, but they take pride in being a

254
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: professional and doing things the right way, it can only

255
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: help the squad because when they do have something to say,

256
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: especially the silent guys, you're gonna listen because they don't

257
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: waste words. That is four downs. Fans market calendars for

288
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: thing now for probably nine years, so it works out well.

289
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: Nine years in the NFL, now married and two kids.

290
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: What's changed most for you other than your personal life

291
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: obviously now as a father? Yeah, you realize how much

292
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: time you wasted before you have kids, you know what

293
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: I mean, Like, the kids are just constant, and then

294
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, what was I doing those first like four

295
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: or five years when I didn't have any kids, you know,

296
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: running around? Um. But for me, it's just, you know,

297
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: I always look at it like, I guess I'm the

298
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: old guy. Now. You know, you're thirty in the NFL.

299
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: That's like kind of the benchmark. I'm turning thirty one

300
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: kind of soon here, but we want to talk about that.

301
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: You know, you're only thirty one and year the old guy. Yeah, jeez, Yeah,

302
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's a little different, you know. I

303
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: know Joe was in year eight when he got in

304
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: the league, and I'm in year nine now, so it's like, wow,

305
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: this is this is getting real. He was only there

306
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: for two more years with you. Why we played four

307
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: years together, you know, eleven, but the eleventh year, you know,

308
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: he was out for most of it and stuff like that.

309
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: So and I was hurt a little bit, so we

310
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: didn't really get a play together as much as we

311
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: could have. How you feeling. You look fantastic? Thank you.

312
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: I feel good. You know, wearing black slims me out

313
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: a little bit, but no, no, I feel good. Um.

314
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: I had a good off season. I felt good. I

315
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: felt healthy. Um, really ready to go. You know. I

316
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: know it's a long season, but you prepare your body

317
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: kind of year round for for the being it takes

318
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: in season, and hopefully you come into the season as

319
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: healthy as possible. It's something you taught me earlier in

320
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: your career, which I didn't know. You had the Liz

321
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: Frank injury, and I didn't realize how serious that was

322
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: when you first got that injury. Can you take us

323
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: back to that memory. Yeah, that was in year three. Um,

324
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: you know playing against the Patriots, and I remember my

325
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: foot like popped right before halftime, and I was like,

326
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: that didn't feel good. And I was kind of running

327
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: off and I was like, I don't know if I'm

328
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: gonna be able to like really push off of it,

329
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: you know. And I ended up finishing the game. And

330
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: we went up to dinner that night, and I remember

331
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: getting up from the table at dinner and I was like,

332
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: I can't really walk to my car very successfully. I'm like,

333
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: something might be seriously wrong with my foot, and so

334
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: I uh went back inside. They scanned it and mine

335
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: was bad, but it wasn't like the worst. Like there

336
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: was talks of like waiting eight to twelve weeks and

337
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: seeing how it was, or we could do the surgery

338
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: right away and get it over with, and we were,

339
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: you know, eight to twelve weeks taking a set into

340
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: the season. So we ended up opted for the surgery

341
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: and it worked out really well. Um. I healed good

342
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: from it, and you know, since then, I felt really

343
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: healthy and it's it's been good for me because we

344
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: we were talking to a a pediatrist of all things,

345
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: my co host Anthony and I in the morning, we're

346
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: talking to a pediatrist, just out and about. And it

347
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: was last year when Travis et N had to Liz

348
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: Frank injury and he's like, you guys don't realize how

349
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: serious it is. And the first person I thought of

350
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: was you. I was like, oh my god. They're like, oh, yeah,

351
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: you can lose his career over something like this. Yeah,

352
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: and I think they've gotten better with the with the surgery.

353
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: And like I said, mine was kind of borderline if

354
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: I needed surgery or not. Um, So it wasn't the worst.

355
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, a lot of guys have had tough um

356
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: comebacks from that and might need a second surgery. Sometimes

357
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: they put the screws in and sometimes you gotta get

358
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: them out, you know. I kept mine in and so

359
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: they they've been, they've been good. Caroline on Sunday. You know,

360
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: I gotta ask the question that everybody's got to ask you.

361
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: How's it feel to go up against Baker? Yeah? For me,

362
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: it's it's pretty normal, you know. I mean, I'm playing

363
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: against their defense, so I don't get a face them

364
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: too much. You know, I think Miles and j D

365
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: and Denzel the defense, you know, get a few more

366
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: looks at him, but you know, it's uh, he was here,

367
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: he was part of it. But honestly, there's a lot

368
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: of guys over there from the Cleveland Browns. You know,

369
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 1: I think Higgins still the other Corbett, cam Irving, you know,

370
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 1: Blast Best Jenkins as was their kicker. Chris Tabor's over there,

371
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: Chris Tabor, you know, James camp in their on line coach.

372
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of crossover. It's a big revenge

373
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: game in that sense. But now we're taking it. We

374
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: gotta play the Carolina Panthers and they were good defense,

375
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: and it's it's something we gotta you know, go against

376
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: and get get ready for it. So for us on offense,

377
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 1: we can't really think about you know, big we don't.

378
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,959
Speaker 1: We can't think about the quarterbacks we're playing against. Hud

379
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: It's been good, it's been good. He has a good

380
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 1: command of it. You know, he's been around a lot

381
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: of teams, so he has experience. Um, and I think

382
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: I'll be ready to go. You know, I think he's

383
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: he's really focused, and uh, you know, it's felt good

384
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: these last couple of weeks. This last week we had

385
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 1: a nice ramp up period of going against our defense.

386
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: But um, we felt real comfortable. Oh, involved in the

387
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: offensive scheming is Alex van Pel with Kevin Stefanski, your

388
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 1: head coach. Yeah, it's huge. A VPS huge. He runs

389
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: most of the offensive meetings, you know, and uh, you know,

390
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 1: Coach Callahan really takes us through the run game. Um,

391
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 1: and a VP kind of handles the past game. Um.

392
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: But a VP starts out the meetings with the offense

393
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: most of the time, and then Kevin will chime in

394
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: or call plays. But a VP is a huge part

395
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: of our our game. And you know would um, you

396
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: know coach Drew being the quarterback coach now he kind

397
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: of has some rain to to work his way through

398
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: different rooms to make it easier. Three years in with

399
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: the same offensive coordinator, same head coach. Oh, it's huge.

400
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 1: It's it's great. You get a familiarity, you know what

401
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: to expect. I think the expectations are set, um. And

402
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 1: it's it's one of those things where you feel more comfortable.

403
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 1: You bring up a play that you haven't ran for

404
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 1: a year even, but you have film of it. You

405
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: have different things, you've seen schemes. You know, we haven't

406
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: played Carolina yet, but um, it's something you have similar runs.

407
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: I mean there's just so much from familiarity and you

408
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 1: know what it's going to be like when you get

409
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 1: into the game situations. What Albatonio joining us on the show,

410
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: what's week one like? Now? Where you really don't play

411
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: in the preseason, And that's apparent across the league. So

412
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: you know, we look at it from thirty thousand people like, Oh,

413
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: let's get a little sloppy out there. What's week one

414
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: like for you guys, as opposed to as the rest

415
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: of the season goes on. Yeah, you want to come

416
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: out and not be sloppy, you know, but I think

417
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: there's gonna be times where, you know, stuff happens and

418
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 1: you're like, dang, that's a week one thing. Um, we're

419
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: always trying to go one at all and that's like

420
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: kind of the standard here. Um, so anyway you can

421
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 1: win this first game is kind of the goal. But

422
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: it's such a long season when you get to seventeen

423
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: games and hopefully you're playing games in a season, Um,

424
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: you know, you have to protect the guys. And I

425
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 1: think the sports science and everything said like, hey, these

426
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: precinct games don't matter. They matter, but they don't matter

427
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: in the grand scheme of things. And so we gotta

428
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,959
Speaker 1: get is ready for week one as possible. And um,

429
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: we've done a good job conditioning and do all things.

430
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 1: So I think all that's gonna be there. It's just

431
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: the game day, you know, the first game, the energy,

432
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: all that stuff. You still get nervous. Man, nine years, however,

433
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: many games have been Oh yeah, every game you get nervous.

434
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: It's it's your livelihood, it's it's your passion, it's what

435
00:19:58,440 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: what you love to do, and you want to be

436
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: that it gel Patonio, still getting nervous before week one

437
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: nine years and real quick since you said you just

438
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,199
Speaker 1: want to go one and oh, I'm not calling you

439
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: out for us, but I gotta say it in general,

440
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 1: you've been an NFL player a long time. What's the

441
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: most overrating rated cliche you guys use? What's the most

442
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: underrated cliche you use? Um, that's a good one, because

443
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: I think it's every interview I do, I throw out

444
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: probably twelve cliches an interview. I think coach Fantski is

445
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: a huge cliche guy. Um, he speaks an only cliches

446
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 1: of the media, you know. Um, I think one of

447
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: the big ones is like it's not about them it's

448
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: about us, and sometimes it's about them. If they got

449
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: some good players over there, you gotta you gotta really

450
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: focus on that. Like, yes, you have to execute, you

451
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: have to execute, but you know what I mean, you

452
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,479
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta make sure you know where you know

453
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: and Aaron Donald's lining up out there. Yeah, is there

454
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 1: an overrated one? Overrated one? I mean, I honestly think

455
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 1: one to know is like a huge mindset, Like if

456
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:54,719
Speaker 1: you look at the schedule, like, all right, we can

457
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: lose six games, Like I don't know, it's just such

458
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: a weird mindset. Like I think going one to know

459
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: is like a pretty like standard thing. It's like, yeah,

460
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: that's really the goal this week. You know, it's not

461
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: really a cliche. What's the dumbest thing the media says

462
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 1: about football? Not naming names? That's another venue. You're coming

463
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: out with the great questions, Um, probably asking a left

464
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: guard about playing against Baker Mayfield. You know, I had

465
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: to ask you, you do I had. I'm just kidding.

466
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: Um No, there's probably a lot of good ones. I can't, uh,

467
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 1: I can't. Nothing comes to mind exactly. But um, some

468
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: of the questions were like once you get on the field,

469
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 1: like a lot of the accessory stuff doesn't really matter.

470
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: You're playing the play, you know, and so some of

471
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 1: the questions about who you know, the atmosphere or things

472
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: like that, it's like, we just gotta go out there

473
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: and play. You're falling along with Nevada anymore. Yeah, to know,

474
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: I'm always really because some guys kind of move on,

475
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: you know what's But some guy like Joe is they're

476
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: into Wisconsin. Another like JLK is only a couple of

477
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 1: years in but very into Notre Dame. So I don't

478
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: know how some some guys might be different. Yeah, I

479
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: think I was very invested early. When you know the players,

480
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: you know a lot better. Um, but I always pay attention.

481
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: I always checking the score. They're on late a lot

482
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: of the times. But these first two weeks I've got

483
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: to watch them there too. And O, you know, not

484
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: the toughest schedule in the world. Start in New Mexico State,

485
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: we beat them in Texas State. Um, I can't even

486
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,919
Speaker 1: pronounce the team we're playing this week. It's an FCS

487
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: team in something word like a Catholics incarnet word, incarnate word.

488
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 1: Thank you. We're playing them this week, so hopefully we

489
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: go three and O and then we got Iowa. So, UM,

490
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: it's tough. We lost a lot of transfers this year.

491
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: We got a new head coach, Coach Wilson. Um, but

492
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 1: I think we're in the right direction. It might be

493
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 1: tough once we get into Mountain West play. But um,

494
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 1: the guys are playing good at plus nine turnovers? Was

495
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: he was? He? I didn't realize you got well when

496
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: you're playing New Mexico State. Um. Well, that's another thing

497
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: I wanted to bring up. We threw this question out

498
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: there on the air in the morning. I wanted to

499
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: run by you. I'm in Cleveland, Ohio. I'm watching New

500
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 1: Mexico State Nevada in the middle of the night. I

501
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: have no money on the game. Is it pathetic? No,

502
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: it's football. He put football on it any time of day,

503
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: and it's Uh, it's good to go. I was watching

504
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 1: the game until two am with the plus nine. Really,

505
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: that's still really good even though you're play into Mexico State.

506
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: What was that coach what's his name? Coach Ken Wilson.

507
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: That's it. Was he an assistant there when you were there? Yes,

508
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: so he was there with me. Um. I think my

509
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 1: senior year when we got coach Poleon, he left for

510
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: Washington State. He was at Washington State and Oregon Um

511
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: and then he came back, but he was at Nevada

512
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: for like twenty five years before that. So what does

513
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: Reno Nevada in Cleveland, Ohio have in common? Um, honestly,

514
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 1: they're both like like for Nevada, Reno is a pretty

515
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 1: big city, but they kind of still have that like

516
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: small town charm, you know what I mean, where it's

517
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: not too big and into it's you know, the biggest

518
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: little city in the world in Reno um and a

519
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: lot of good hidden gem food spots. I feel like,

520
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: I feel like you can go to Reno and I

521
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: meanbe it was my college palette, but I love the

522
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: food there. But you know, I was a college kid

523
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: just trying to gain weight. There's a big difference between

524
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 1: twenty one and thirty about to be thirty one, But

525
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: we're not gonna aid you there, all right. What do

526
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 1: you say to the Browns fans as you embark on

527
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: year nine for you and then the course for the

528
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: rest of the team. For yeah, I think the team

529
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,719
Speaker 1: has worked and uh they're excited to get going here.

530
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: I think you have really a special chemistry and a

531
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: special group of guys, and um, you know, it's not

532
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 1: always gonna be perfect, but I think I think the

533
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: work's gonna be out there, and I think, uh, we'll

534
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: be happy with the results. Joe Battonio giving us a

552
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 1: we ready to go around the league? I think we

553
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 1: are in number one? Should Lamar Jackson have bet on

554
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: himself this season or accepted the Ravens contract offer? According

555
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: to Jackson, he's cutting off talks on Friday. Yeah, well,

556
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: bar in a season or career ending injury doing the

557
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: course of this season, Ken, he's doing the right thing.

558
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,959
Speaker 1: Better on yourself. You hold all the cards. What happened

559
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: last year when he did not suit up in a

560
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: Ravens uniform? They lost every last game. And that's not

561
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: barning power. What is. Obviously the Ravens are playing hardball

562
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: and saying, hey man, we can't afford to pay you that.

563
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,199
Speaker 1: But at some point they're gonna have to pay the

564
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: man or move forward. But how are you gonna do

565
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: that when you have truly designed your offense, even the

566
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: backups around guys who have a similar skill set as

567
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 1: he does. But you have the real deal, So why

568
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: would you bake on a carbon copy? Yeah? They were

569
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 1: really Uh, I don't know. There's been a lot of

570
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: questions about Lamar over the last year. I think some

571
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,040
Speaker 1: people have been kind of waiting for the other the

572
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: shoot to drop on him. I think he's been a

573
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: pros pro for the most part. You know, I I

574
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 1: know that there's been a couple of tweets liked in

575
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: here and there, and I don't know if I I

576
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: would dig all that in this moment, but you know,

577
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: he wants to get his money. I support him and

578
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 1: getting his money. Go ahead and get your money there.

579
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: So maybe a deal will be done by Friday. We'll see,

580
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 1: there's a couple of days left, yes, and maybe, just maybe.

581
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 1: What they are saying is the following, we think you're

582
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 1: canna get hurt at some point the way you play quarterback.

583
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: We appreciate your services, but we don't want to commit

584
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty million dollars to you guarantee, because

585
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,479
Speaker 1: that's probably what he's asking for, knowing that you're more

586
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: likely gonna get hurt within the next two years. I mean,

587
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: how many seasons was Michael Vick was a guy who

588
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 1: who really brought ushered in that style of quarterback running,

589
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 1: throwing everything. I mean, we can go all the way

590
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: back to Randall cunning him, but era I mean, Michael

591
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: Vick was just superman on the field. He ended up

592
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: having I know there were other things there, but I

593
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 1: he ended up having a pretty long career in his

594
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 1: own right. Lamar Jackson's a bigger body. I know that

595
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 1: he hurt his ankle. Every quarterback loses a ear because

596
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 1: of injury. It happens. It just happens. Tom Brady lost

597
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: a year because of injury. Every good quarter you see it,

598
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: it happens every year. Somebody's gonna lose. Here. Aaron Rodgers

599
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 1: didn't he lose too, if I'm not mistaken. So there's

600
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: gonna be injuries that happened. I I don't think that

601
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: everything is just gonna be perfect for Lamar Jackson. I

602
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: get maybe that they're kinda I think you'd always be

603
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 1: nervous trying to pay a guy two d and fifty

604
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 1: million dollars or whatever it may be. Now he's he

605
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 1: said that they didn't actually offer him that, but uh,

606
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: if it were two hundred fifty million dollars, I don't know.

607
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: Great quarterbacks don't fall off a tree, and he's a

608
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: great quarterback. There's nothing much more that you can really

609
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: do in this case, especially if he continues to play well,

610
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: he could if they really wanted to. He could you

611
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: go on the franchise tag make a boatload of money

612
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 1: every single year if he really wanted to over the

613
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: next three seasons after this one. Yeah, well, I think

614
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: that finely interesting is that if Burrow and if Alan

615
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 1: asked for that, I don't think they're gonna have even

616
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: push back from it. Oh I I totally agree. I

617
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 1: totally agree. Even though Pearl has been injured significantly and

618
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: there was a time last year he got decked. I

619
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: thought he was for the rest of the year right

620
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: down and there. So I don't know what they're hold

621
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: up is. I really don't. I I know we're on

622
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: a Brown show. I really respect Lamar Jackson. Yeah, he's

623
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 1: He's pulled rabbits out of his hat every single time

624
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: against US. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it,

625
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: but I gotta respect it. Which don which don QB.

626
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: We have the biggest uh impact for their new team

627
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: in two Tyreek Hill, Davante Adams, A J. Brown, Von

628
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,959
Speaker 1: Miller or Khalil Mack. I'm going to Khalil Mack because

629
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,719
Speaker 1: we compare him with with with the Bosa brother and

630
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: then you've figured who's gonna stop that. That's similar what

631
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: we have here in Cleveland with Clowney and Garrett, and

632
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: you just think about it was the quickest way for

633
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: the charges to escalate the af C West up the

634
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,239
Speaker 1: charts to be the number one team is who can

635
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: get after the quarterback because in that division, that's the

636
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,239
Speaker 1: best quarterback play taking place. When you consider who's all

637
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: in that division, right who? I gonna tell you, though,

638
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: you're right about that, and he's good defensively, I think

639
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill could could save two in Miami. I mean,

640
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: they're putting the way to the world on his shoulders.

641
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: Everybody do that dog one guy. Granted, he's special, he

642
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: truly is. For gosh, there's so much that has to

643
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: take place in order for him success. Two. Although he

644
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: says is his act most accurate quarterback he's ever thrown,

645
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,239
Speaker 1: has had thrown to him, I'm not buying that whatsoever, King,

646
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: because that's just a straight out disrespect that Patrick Mahomes.

647
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: Then a blocking situation, what that entails are we just

648
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: gonna simply double team Hill and take him out of

649
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: the game and force two to go to other guys.

650
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: All those things can happen when you have pass question,

651
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: You've got two guys, and you bring another guy to

652
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: calibery Khalil mac along with Nick Bosa. I mean, excuse me, Joey,

653
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: good luck, good luck with that your thoughts on Joe Flacco,

654
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: now set to start the first four game of the

655
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: Jet season, will face the Browns next week in Cleveland's

656
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: home opener, and sak Wilson not ready to return just yet.

657
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: In my mind, is an upgrade. Actually, Joe is a

658
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: better quarterback super stage. I mean listened to the second year.

659
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not saying that to be just to

660
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: cause fire or anything like that. I say something what

661
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: could be regard as a hot take. I'm not saying

662
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: that at all. I'm saying in the sense that he

663
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: has more experience, he still can throw a football with

664
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: high velocity, and he's a better quarterback sheerly based upon experience.

665
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: So for me, that's just the truth of the matter.

666
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: And to be honest with you, the backup of of

667
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: good Lord Zack Wilson was better to me. And his

668
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: name is Casey right now. As far as who was

669
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: a better quarterback last year, oh goodness, gracious, I can't

670
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: remember his name, but he was a brain freeze, and

671
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: I can't remember that they had Straveler in there for

672
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: a minute and then they let him go during this preseason. Boy,

673
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: I forget who that was too, and he was pretty

674
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: good for them. You're right about that. Um, I'm trying

675
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: to I think I'm making because I was so down

676
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: on Zack well some last year. I'm like, there's no

677
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: way it could be like this again. They've really addressed

678
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: in free agency, They've really addressed in the draft. But

679
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: those are all pups too, So I Joe Flacco's passed

680
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: his prime. I don't want to go crazy, but he

681
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: may be ready to conduct the offense a little bit

682
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: better than Zach Wilson. So I just hated the reasons

683
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: they were drafting Zach Wilson to begin with drawing. I

684
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: know that that's next week's opponent, and I've talked to

685
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: you about that as well. He's good in chaos. He's

686
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: good in chaos. Are we so focused on steering into chaos?

687
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna steer off the cliff? Is that how this

688
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: is gonna go? Didn't care for it, But that's next

689
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: week's opponent. This week's opponent is the Carolina Panthers and

690

Speaker 1: to talk about it. We'll welcome on the voice here

Speaker 1: on the call for the game, the voice here Cleveland Browns,

699
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: Jim Donovana, joins us right now to get you set

700
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: for this game between Carolina and your Cleveland Browns. Jim,

701
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us tonight. Good to be with you, guys.

702
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: Counted down to Sunday. Boy, it's like it's been forever, Jim.

703
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: Other than Baker Mayfield and the T shirts and everything

704
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: else that's going on, what's the thing that you're paying

705
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: attention to the most as we get set for this one?

706
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: You know, I think Ken Christian McCaffrey really is a

707
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: is a key part of the game, uh, and certainly

708
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: a key part of the offense for them. When he plays,

709
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: they're very effective and they win. When he doesn't play,

710
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: an he hasn't played much in the last two years,

711
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: they struggle and thus you have a couple of seasons

712
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 1: where they have had five wins two years in a row.

713
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,719
Speaker 1: Um he's such a dynamic player out of the backfield,

714
00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: running the football in the slot as a receiver, he

715
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: can really make you miss a great deal out in

716
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: open field. And I think he is a very very

717
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: big responsibility for the Bronze defense. So I know that

718
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: the headline would be Mayfield and how he reacts to

719
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: playing against his former team. But I have to tell

720
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: you the football side of it to me is Christian McCaffrey.

721
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: How will the Browns be able to control him? And

722
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: Jim With that in mind, about Christian, what he represents

723
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: from a matchup standpoint, who do you see guarding him?

724
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: Because I know we put a lot into the idea

725
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: of having a fast defense, and I like the matchup

726
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: between he and Jay Okay because I think he's the

727
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: guy who we drafted for situations just like this. What

728
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 1: do you think, Yeah, I think that would be the

729
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: guy Gerard that would be the guy that I would select. Um.

730
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: I think he plays at such a high speed, and

731
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: that's the thing that impresses me so much about McCaffrey.

732
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: He can run away from you very quick. He can

733
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: make really dynamic cuts in the open field and flip

734
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: by you. So I think you have to have a

735
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,959
Speaker 1: guy that possesses speed that gets on him right away.

736
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: And I think that j Ok plays at that high

737
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 1: octane of a speed linebacker, and I think that's the

738
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: you know, as you said, that's the design of the

739
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 1: Brownze defense in particular in that linebacker position. Um, you

740
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: could think of a safety, UM, and that could be

741
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 1: a you know, certainly an assignment for the for the

742
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: safety room coming down and helping out with him. But

743
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:25,919
Speaker 1: I would say the most available guy and the guy

744
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: that I think when you look at why they drafted

745
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: the guy like j Ok to play against Lamar Jackson,

746
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: to be able to control him, chase him down, and

747
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 1: certainly to go up against the player like Christian McCaffrey,

748
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: I think that would be the guy that would have

749
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 1: a great deal of the responsibility to cover him and

750
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,760
Speaker 1: to make sure that he doesn't beat you. Jim Donovan

751
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: joining us here on the jim for the Browns wide

752
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 1: receiver court. You know, I didn't even realize until this afternoon.

753
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: The guy with leading yards catching the the amount of

754
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: catching receiving yards the most coming back is is Donovan

755
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 1: Peoples Jones. Now you have Amari Cooper who's coming back

756
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 1: where the Cowboys jettison him. He has a lot to

757
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: prove coming into this season. But there's really not a

758
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: whole lot of chemistry between the this quarterback at Jacoby

759
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 1: Brissette and these wide receivers. Does this make a chance

760
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: to really rely on the running game much more than

761
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 1: what they have previously? Oh? I think so, Ken, I

762
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 1: think that is the Bronze offense. I think the Bronze

763
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: offense is gonna be heavy run, and um it should be.

764
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the strength of the offense the way

765
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: it is put together right now. And and even if

766
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson was in a quarterback still the calling card

767
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: for the Browns will be that running game with matched

768
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: up and and teamed up with that Brown's offensive line. Um,

769
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: will are they going to shy away from you know,

770
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: the wide receivers? Now, I don't think so. But as

771
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: far as like hitting home run balls, you know, deep strikes.

772
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's gonna be there. Certainly at

773
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year, Cooper will have a great

774
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: deal of interest on any team going against the Bronze. Defensively,

775
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,320
Speaker 1: they'll have to pay him a great deal of attention.

776
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 1: And maybe they can do that with the inexperience surrounding

777
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,439
Speaker 1: the rest of the Bronze receiving corps. But I think

778
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: the bread and butter will be the Browns running game

779
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: to get them into really good down and distant situations. Um,

780
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 1: you don't want to have to play from behind the

781
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:26,320
Speaker 1: sticks and rely on this passing game. And as you mentioned,

782
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:30,240
Speaker 1: the kind of growing and needs to grow chemistry between

783
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 1: the quarterback and this receiver group, which is really young.

784
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: I mean, Donovan People's Jownes is by no mean a

785
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: vested veteran right now in the passing game, and the

786
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: same certainly David Bell's a true rookie. Anthony Schwartz is

787
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: certainly a project. Um. And you could also see the

788
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: Bronze rely on those tight ends a great deal with

789
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: Brian and Joker and Jim for Jacob Brisette. In your mind,

790
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: what does a good game and a day look like?

791
00:36:55,120 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 1: For him, well, I would think good turnover free, as

792
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: it would be for any quarterback. UM, but I think

793
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 1: you know, to not turn the ball over, uh, to

794
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: just really tactically get the ball out of there as

795
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: quickly as he can, but get it to the right people. UM.

796
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: I don't think he has to play hero ball. He's

797
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: got enough of a good staple of of offensive you know,

798
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,359
Speaker 1: good things going in that offense, with that running game,

799
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,919
Speaker 1: with a player like Kareem Hunt in the passing game,

800
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 1: added to the passing game coming out of out of

801
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,439
Speaker 1: the backfield, I think in Joeku becomes a very key

802
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: part of the Bronze offense. He's certainly being paid to

803
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 1: be that kind of a player. So I think there's

804
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: enough there that if he just makes the right decisions,

805
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: good decisions, you know, plays a clean game. As far

806
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: as being turnover free in the football game, I think

807
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: that's what they're looking for from him. UM. Certainly capable

808
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 1: of because of his experience of pulling a game out.

809
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 1: But I think if you went in and you had

810
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: a master blueprint of what you wanted to do Sunday,

811
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 1: you want him to be a distributor of the football

812
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: to the right people at the right time, and I

813
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: think then they come out and they would be okay,

814
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: and they'd be pleased with him and Jim. I've been

815
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: asked this question a few times, so I'm gonna pose

816
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 1: it to you. Who do you think has the avenge

817
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: the Browns in regards to knowing what Baker Mayfield cannon

818
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: can I do? Or Baker Mayfield having some familiarity with

819
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 1: the Browns defense having practice against them for of course

820
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: of four years or four seasons. Yeah, every day. Um,

821
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: I would say. I like the Bronze defense, I really do.

822
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: I love the way they played at the end of

823
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: the year last year. I think it's only gonna get better.

824
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 1: I think that they've tweaked it. They didn't have to

825
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: overhaul it. There were a lot of good things coming

826
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,800
Speaker 1: out of that defense as they grew into the defense

827
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 1: and got to know each other. So I think not

828
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 1: only against Baker Mayfield, but against a lot of quarterbacks

829
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: that will face the Bronze this year, I think the

830
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: Browns defense is is going to be very formidable and

831
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: very tough to move the football against. So I think

832
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: that the Bronze defense has an advantage. They know everything

833
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: about Baker Mayfield. What do they want to do with him?

834
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: It will be interesting, Gerade to see. I would think,

835
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: you know, just on the outside kind of looking in,

836
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 1: they would like to keep him in the pocket, take

837
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: away the bootleg game from him. He was very comfortable

838
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,839
Speaker 1: doing that. I think that's when he was most effective

839
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,800
Speaker 1: here in Cleveland. UM. And it will be interesting to

840
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: see if they can do that, If Clowney and Miles

841
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: Garrett can pin him in, keep him in the pocket,

842
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 1: crowd him a great deal, and and then I think

843
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,240
Speaker 1: that's the start of a good defensive day for the Browns.

844
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: Jim can't thank you enough for the time. We'll talk

845

872
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 1: A little bit of a note here, Gerard, have you

873
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,839
Speaker 1: ever you definitely played at Bank of American Stadium? Correct? Yes,

874
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:05,959
Speaker 1: I have. What's it like? Can I admit some Tom,

875
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: I'm uncomfortable with the stadium? I don't. I feel claustrophobic.

876
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: I've actually been there, not even for a game, and

877
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 1: I feel claustrophobic. And stadiums that I can't see anything around,

878
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: Like it's all sky, there's nothing around like Nayland Stadium.

879
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 1: I haven't been too, but I'm like, boy, if I was,

880
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: if I was an opposing team here, it would be

881
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 1: a little weird to look up in the sky and

882
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:33,359
Speaker 1: just see people. And then that's it, like exactly when

883
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 1: you like when you go to first Centage' just like, Okay,

884
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: I can see a little bit of the lake. Well

885
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 1: you can't see the lake from the field, but you

886
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: see a little bit of the opening and skyline and

887
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 1: things like that. But boy, and Bank of American Stadium

888
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 1: there's nothing but stands. That's all you see. Lights. Uh.

889
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: If if it were a dome or a retractable roof

890
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: or something I think I could understand it, but it's

891
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: just like, wow, I just there's nowhere to hide here.

892
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: It's a fast track football field, and I'm hearing there's

893
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of rain potentially, so that's supposed

894
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 1: to be a little bit with radiant ball me down there.

895
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,879
Speaker 1: That the the humidity will be very high, so and

896
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 1: that and that's something obviously we've dealt with through the

897
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: course of the summer, so that won't be too foreign

898
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 1: of an object for our football team to deal with.

899
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,720
Speaker 1: And it won't be like it's New Orleans or Miami

900
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: type of humidity which can be intolerable. Make sure you

901
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 1: bring you're in a purse sprint, make sure you're a

902
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: little bit of a warm one. Yeah. Absolutely, it dried

903
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: real quick. What are your final thoughts and what do

904
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 1: you expect to see if the Brons want to get

905
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: a win on Sunday afternoon. I just expect to see

906
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 1: clean football first and foremost, where we're not beating ourselves

907
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 1: and we are methodical and how we approach it. We

908
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 1: drive down the football field, creating down a distance since

909
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: when which we're third and short as opposed to being

910
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:46,839
Speaker 1: third and long and really asking Jacobe to do a

911
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: fantastic job of taking what the defense gives him, and

912
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 1: on the defensive slide, I expect to see us get
