1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,560 Speaker 1: We've tried to be very smart about how you put 2 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 1: the plan together. Obviously had an offseason this year, so 3 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 1: that was different, but feel like the guys have a 4 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 1: good understanding of what we're doing on all three sides 5 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: of the ball and now's the time to compete. This 6 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: is the coach Kevin Stefanski show. Tonight there's George chance 7 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: to get a detailed peep behind the scenes from team 8 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 1: headquarters in Barrea and you'll find out how the browns 9 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: are prepping for this week's game. This is the university 10 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: hospitals Cleveland Browns Radio Network. Here are your hosts, Nathan 11 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 1: Zigura and Geron Jerry. Good evening and welcome to the 12 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski show on the university hospitals Cleveland Browns Radio Network. 13 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 1: Nathan sagirl alongside the three time, three time, three time 14 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: super bowl champion, Gerard Cherry and Gerard, we would like 15 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: to be doing a joyous show talking about a two 16 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: and Oh browns team that put on four or fifty 17 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: eight minutes at a clinic at First Energy Stadium against 18 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: the New York jets. But we're talking about a one 19 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: on one football team and we will turn the page. 20 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: We will be onto the steelers quickly. But let's go 21 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: back to that game and let's just talk about how you, 22 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: as a player, put that in the rear view mirror, 23 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: make sure it doesn't happen again and get focused to 24 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 1: get back on the right track against the steelers. Well, 25 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: you're right, Nathan, and I'll have the extra five seconds 26 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: and fifty eight minutes and five seconds. It was all 27 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: looking great for it course. But with that being said, 28 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: it's really simple. It's a long season, it's a marathon. Granted, 29 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: you don't want to stumble along the way and have 30 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: a situation where you put yourself back from a time consideration. 31 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 1: We're gonna make a comparison with a marathon, but the 32 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: same time, it's a short weekend. It couldn't happen in 33 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: a better week because you don't have to think about 34 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: it and long on it all week. You have to 35 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: move forward because right on the horizon is the Pittsburgh steelers. 36 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: So that actually helps the cause. But in the process 37 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: of that, obviously we saw shades of this the previous 38 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: week in Carolina and rid his ugly head against the jets. 39 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: So what you say is one. First and foremost, I 40 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: am going to make sure that I am doing my job. 41 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: That's the first personal accountability, and then second thing, which 42 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: is just as important, is making sure that I am 43 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,799 Speaker 1: going to communicate, to make sure that everybody else is 44 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: on the same page and doing my job. It's really 45 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: that simple, and making sure I don't do it for 46 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 1: fifty eight, excuse me, fifty fifty five minutes and five 47 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: or whatever. Was Fifty eight minutes and five seconds, but 48 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: I'm actually gonna do it for sixty minutes. That's really 49 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: what it boils down to. Is that simple, but yet 50 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: it could be that daunting. And also to just making 51 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: sure we're cleaning up the little things and not using 52 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: the excuse of well, we didn't have much of a preseason. 53 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 1: That's why you have your playbook, that's why they give 54 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: you these pads, to take them home and to go 55 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 1: over mentally what you need to do and, if need be, Nathan, 56 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: Call Your teammate that you've been having issues with communication 57 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: standpoint and talk through the other day, you and I, 58 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: we were talking about football. Right, we're going to cover 59 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: for and what that represents. You could do the exact 60 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: same thing with your team and hey, dog, I was 61 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: looking at this cover two and your drop right here. 62 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: This is what I'm thinking, this is what I'm feeling. 63 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: And when we started doing things like that, you bill report. 64 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with doing that and not worrying about. Okay, well, 65 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: how they're gonna perceive me? Who Cares? Make sure you're 66 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: on the right page. No, you're exactly right. They need 67 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: to be on the right page and, and you know this, 68 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: they do do that kind of stuff. They get quizzes 69 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: throughout the week on the game plan, on the play calls, 70 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: and so this is something that should not have happened, 71 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: and yet it has happened. Take me inside of your 72 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: experience in this league, with with Bill Belichick, for example. 73 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: Something like this happened Bill Belichick two weeks in a row. 74 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: What how is that handled? Uh, in the very draconian 75 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: manner of fashion. You're sitting down, you're not playing, you're 76 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: playing time is being taken away from you. You might 77 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: get benched or you might get cut, depend on the 78 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: level of severity of the infraction, because definitely conduct detrimental 79 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: by not knowing what to do. So you would not 80 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: be rewarded with more playing time, that's for sure. So 81 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: that's how he handled things. Different Game. Now. People aren't 82 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: as draconian or mean or as as they once were 83 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: in the pass different way of approaching these players, and 84 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: I get that. But there has to be a level 85 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: of fear that, hey, I can't go out there and 86 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: make them same mistakes that I've made in the previous 87 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: week to cost my team almost a football game. So 88 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: bill would handling that way and I'm pretty much sure 89 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: that bill, in this day and age, was still handled 90 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: that way. You just can't tolerate those type of mistakes 91 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: because they the game is so precious and you really 92 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: have to convey the guys these this is like losing 93 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: gold and you're on your last dime and that's how 94 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:42,919 Speaker 1: you have to perceive it and see it in that 95 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: late and have that sense of urgency. So whatever coach 96 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: Stefanski and Joe Woods and company can do to get 97 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: these and coach preferred, to get these guys to understand 98 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 1: that this is precious. You can't waste opportunities when they 99 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: present themselves because it will come back and bite you. Yeah, 100 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: and it for this Cleveland Browns team. And then the 101 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: last one. Just kind of talk about accountability amongst the players, 102 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: because so many people right now are coming out at 103 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: about Joe Woods and coming after the browns defensive coordinator. 104 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 1: I'm just as Nathan's a girl. In my opinion, I 105 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: think that's hard. Like Joe Woods isn't playing. Joe Woods 106 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: isn't blowing coverage is there's gotta be some accountability, I think, 107 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: amongst the players, and I know we'll talk. We're here 108 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: from Greg Newson later they got together and they hashed 109 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: it out amongst themselves, in addition to their meetings with 110 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: the coaches and the team. Right and the easy things 111 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,119 Speaker 1: to say this coach is struggling as the coach's fault, 112 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: and granted it is. Isn't a coach's responsibility to make 113 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: sure that guys are prepared and ready to go, but 114 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: you know, like I know, heck, you know them better, 115 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: that they are going over these coverages, they are giving 116 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: these guys, as you mentioned earlier, quizzes. Guys are being 117 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: informed and I know the guys in the secondary particular 118 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 1: are really good defensive back coaches. I've watched them all 119 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: training camp, I've reserved their techniques, I've observed the things 120 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 1: that they said to him and they're telling these guys 121 00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: the right thing. But it becomes a point in place 122 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: in time where you have the onus being put, and 123 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: has to be put on the player to be responsible 124 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: for knowing what the heck is going on blown courages. 125 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 1: You want to blame it on coaches, but ultimately that 126 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: M I A, which means a mental mistake, is on 127 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: the player and you have to put it there and 128 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: not trying to blame it on the coaches. Now it's 129 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: a situation where you're getting out steam, Nathan and absolutely 130 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: and you don't and basically the coaches coaching circles around 131 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: you and you have no answer and you're basically on 132 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,919 Speaker 1: the ropes constantly and you can't get your guys in 133 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: the right formation on the right situations. That's different. That's 134 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: when you start having issues and problems, no doubt. All right, 135 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: let's talk about the positives in this game, though, and 136 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: they're all on the offensive side of the ball. Jacobe 137 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: per said, two or twenty seven, two nine yards, one touchdown, 138 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: Nick Chubb, eighty seven and three scores on the ground. 139 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: Kreem hunt fifty eight yards rushing. The browns rush for 140 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: a hundred and eighty four, averaging five yards to carry. 141 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: Amari cooper ten targets, nine catches, a hundred one yards 142 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: and a touchdown. This offense put up thirty points a 143 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: week after putting up twenty six. Jacoble percent was sharp. 144 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: They looked phenomenal Um in this game against the jets, 145 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: and that's something that certainly is a positive right and 146 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: that's definitely something that you can build upon and you 147 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: want to keep that momentum going. Now we just need 148 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: the special teams unit, along with the defense, to be consistent, 149 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: to make plays, and I would say even more so 150 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: on the special teams that they need to be more 151 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: on point. But obviously the defense with these two or 152 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: three play collapses that put teams back in the game. 153 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: That's a major issue and a major problem that has 154 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: to be fixed, because the sad part about it is 155 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: you play well enough on the defensive side to beat 156 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: this jets team, but you again let them back in 157 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: on busted plays, and that's the most frustrating part, the 158 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: busted plays. Now Great, you go to the special team 159 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: side of the ball, Nathan, we get it. We understand 160 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: that these guys did an excellent play call on the 161 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: fake and again they our performance on the on the 162 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: on side kick, but I will agree with you, if 163 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna look for a positive and everybody else, if 164 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: everyone else on this football team. From a standpoint, kid 165 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: played at the same level that our offense played in 166 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: the way in which our office dictate and dominated that 167 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: football game against the jets. We are one heck of 168 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: a football team. Yeah, there's no doubt. Fifty six points 169 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: scored by this offense so far through two weeks. All right, 170 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: you mentioned it. Quick Turnaround. Here come the Pittsburgh steelers. 171 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: They are one and one, just coming off of a 172 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: loss at home, seventeen and fourteen to your team, the 173 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: New England patriots. They don't have t j watt. With 174 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: T J watte week one, seven sacks week two, no 175 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: t j watt against New England. No Sex, a completely 176 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: different looking defense. They actually New England was able to 177 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: run the football on them. The steelers seemed a lot 178 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: of talent on offense. Right now the talk in Pittsburgh 179 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: is why won't Mitch Drabinsky throw the ball down the field? 180 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: They have not been very good. They are one and one. 181 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: They got a big win week one against the bengals. 182 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: Last week they did not look great and there's already 183 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: talk about Kenny Pickett? Should he take over for Mitch Drabinsky? Right? 184 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,719 Speaker 1: They ended the season with that conversation. I hold to 185 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: him the mantra that, hey, if you're talking about you 186 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 1: have two quarterbacks that they're competing, you really don't have 187 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: one of the one at all, because that just creates 188 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: a sense of divide on a in a locker room 189 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: like okay, he should be playing. Other guys know he 190 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: should be playing, and then they start getting the camp. 191 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: So who are you? Team Pickett? Are you team Trabinsky? 192 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: So that poses a problem. But the offensive wolves for 193 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: the steelers have definitely shown in rear their of your head, 194 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: because when you look at the receiving corps with chase 195 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: claypool along with Deonte Johnson and then the rookie as well, 196 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: he's doing some he has ability to do some stuff 197 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: as well. So you say to yourself, how in the world, 198 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: I'm talking about George Pickens, how are they struggling the 199 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: way they are? But there obviously is a disconnect between 200 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: the vertical passing game right now with Trabinsky and the 201 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: running attack. Is Really what I believe Nathan is the 202 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: strong suit for the steelers and I think Nagi Harris 203 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: only average three point three yards last week and that's 204 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: anemic to say the least. Yeah, he's average and three 205 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: point three yards last week, two point nine for the season. 206 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: They have been able to get anything going on the 207 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: ground and that offensive line to their credit. They have 208 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: done a good job in pass protection, but they have 209 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 1: not done a good job run blocking thus far. You 210 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: mentioned Rabinsky. Here are the stats, because it's it's really wild. 211 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: On passes of ten yards or less, he's thirty three 212 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: or forty three for a d nine yards, one touchdown. 213 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: Forty three attempts ten yards or less in the air. 214 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: He's only tried thirteen passes from ten to nineteen yards. 215 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,319 Speaker 1: He's six or thirteen for ninety yards, a touchdown in 216 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: an interception. Only ten passes more than twenty yards in 217 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: the air, three of ten for seventy four yards. So 218 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: he really has been a checkdown. Charlie averaging just five 219 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,559 Speaker 1: point one yards per tempts, second worst in the NFL 220 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: for Mitch Robinsky, and that's why they haven't been able 221 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: to get them going. Clay pools averaging five and a 222 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: half yards that catch, and Lord knows his his his 223 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: description is a big play down the field wide receiver 224 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: in the mold of a Plexico, burrs and other guys 225 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: that have come through the out of that big even 226 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: go back to Linswe if you really want to go 227 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: old school far as stretching to field and making big plays. 228 00:10:58,600 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 1: But you know what that speaks on? When you talk 229 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: about your biscuit and those numbers you just said, Nathan, 230 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: it tells me that either he's being told not to 231 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: take chances and the play off very conservative approach because 232 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: they don't have confidence in him, or the fact that 233 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: he realizes that pick is on the custom of taking over. 234 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: He's just being cautious and being careful and in the 235 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: process you get these anemic numbers. Hence, again, why you 236 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: do not want to have a situation where one you 237 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: bring a guy who had issues in Chicago, where he 238 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: got replaced. Now you're put in the same scenario in 239 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and you think he's gonna be comfortable. It's hard 240 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: to overcome that type of stuff when you know people 241 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: don't fully support you and have your back, and that's 242 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: what he's going to get. so He'd rather not take 243 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: any chances and being, as you just said, check down, 244 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: Charlie and that's why you get these woeful numbers. The 245 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: browns are averaging two hundred point five yards rushing per dame. 246 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: The steelers are averaging two hundred fifty five yards of 247 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,599 Speaker 1: offense period per game. So far in twenty two, the 248 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: browns averaging over five yards to carry, the steelers averaging 249 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: four point three yards of play on offense. They are 250 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,719 Speaker 1: struggling mightily now. The browns defense, though, is banged up 251 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: going into this one GERADE. We already know Jejevian clowney 252 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: out with an ankle, chase winovich placed on injured reserve 253 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: today with a hamstring injury, as well as tighten Jesse James, 254 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: with the big news out of Burrea today. Myles Garrett 255 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: did not practice in the team's only official practice before 256 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 1: Thursday night. Joel Bettonio didn't practice either, but the I 257 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: think they're pretty comfortable and confident he will go. If 258 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,199 Speaker 1: myles Garrett is out, the browns are left with rookies 259 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: Alex right and Isaiah Thomas, plus Isaac Rochelle, likely to 260 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: be elevated or brought to the fifty three man roster 261 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: off the practice squad. And that's it. That's the list. 262 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: Mitch Triski has been terrible under pressure this year, but 263 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,199 Speaker 1: the browns will not have a proven edge rusher. If 264 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: Miles is not ready for this game, well, that means 265 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,839 Speaker 1: we're gonna tip our hand and we already know we're 266 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: gonna have to do. We're gonna have to become Cleveland 267 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: Blitzberg and get the job done that way. And this 268 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 1: is where those dbs are gonna have to step up 269 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: and play man coverage like they've never played before and 270 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: for this week, understand the onus is gonna be on Youtube. 271 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: Play shut down, like corner technique and stop these guys, 272 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 1: because without miles in the game, without your David in 273 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: the game, I saw it last week. We had a 274 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: hard time generating the pass rush. Now, hopefully there could 275 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: be some guy like that could emerge from our deepest line, 276 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: from the reserves, but I haven't seen it yet to 277 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: the level to where it would have to be. But 278 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: there's always obviously a possibility. So in my mind you 279 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: gotta step up with Your Hall, you gotta step up 280 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: if you're Brian, you gotta step up if you're Elliott, 281 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: and those are interior guys I just name as well. 282 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: And then you have the other, Thomas, you have to 283 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: step up take advantage of your opportunities in the situation, Nathan, 284 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 1: but in my mind what you're gonna see take place 285 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: would be blitz left, blitz right and d beans. This 286 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 1: week we'll have to just hey, we're not zoning it, 287 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 1: we're playing man cover. So everyone who's a defensive back, 288 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: who has cornerback or safety next to their name, get 289 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: prepared to have a lot of one on one, man, 290 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: no man free, zero coverage take place, because I will 291 00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: have to be the way in which we go about 292 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: attacking this and putting pressure on Trabisky. If you let 293 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: us sit back there, we're gonna revitalize this guy and 294 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: he's gonna have explosive night and I don't want that 295 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: to be us. No, we don't want that at all. 296 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,079 Speaker 1: By the way, to bisky against the blitz this year, 297 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: thirty three completions, three point nine yards per tent and 298 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 1: a quarterback rating of just sixty eight. Be Part of 299 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: one of the most passionate fan bases in the NFL. 300 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: Joined the Brown season ticket member waitless today for the 301 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: best chance at securing tickets for all home games in 302 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: the future seasons.

So you throw in Thursday 333 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 1: and it becomes a challenge and UH, fortunately, we'll use 334 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: every one of these hours and see how these guys do. 335 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: When you look at that edge room, in the event 336 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: that you didn't have miles with clowney and win of it, 337 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: you're down to Alex Right, Isaiah Thomas on the fifty three, 338 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: Isaac Rochelle on the practice squad. How would you kind 339 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: of look to that room? That would be a couple 340 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: of rookies and pretty prominent spots. You know, honestly, it's 341 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: really every room. You just you have your depth chart 342 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: and you have the guys that have to be ready 343 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: to go. I mean some we're counting on some young 344 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: guys in different spots. Uh. You got some veterans in 345 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: in each one of these rooms that you count on, uh, 346 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: if you need them. And that's kind of the nature 347 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: of the NFL, certainly over the course of the seventeen 348 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: game season, but definitely the nature of Thursday night football. 349 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: I can remember back to some days that the Vikings 350 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: we had a Thursday night game. We couldn't even dress 351 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: the total forty eight. We didn't have that many guys 352 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: available to us due to injury. So that's that's what 353 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: you're fighting in a given week and and I believe 354 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: the opponents fighting the same thing. It's just can you 355 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: make it to Thursday? Are you optimistic about Myles, sir? 356 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: Is it a just total? We'll see at this point. See. Okay, 357 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 1: all right, let's go now and talk about some positives. 358 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,679 Speaker 1: They came out of Sunday. This offense was spectacular. I 359 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: thought Jacoby Bricett was phenomenal. The ground game war them 360 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 1: down as it went on, Amari Cooper looked like the 361 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: guy you brought him to be your number one receiver. 362 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: What can you take away from that offensive performance? Yeah, 363 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: I think you just try to be as honest about 364 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: what happens on Sundays as you can and there's always 365 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 1: things that we want to clean up. Offense, defense, special teams. 366 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: For the offense, I thought move the ball pretty well, 367 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: tried stayed out a third down on a few of 368 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,399 Speaker 1: the drives and then when we did get in the 369 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: third down, I thought the guys executed at a really 370 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 1: high level, particularly the quarterback, made some plays with his feet, 371 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: got the ball quickly on time to the to the 372 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: guys through his progression. So I thought as a unit 373 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: they really operated really well. How Nice is it to 374 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: have an Amari Cooper, the guy that when you need 375 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: a big play, you need a third down, you can 376 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 1: go to him. He creates incredible separation with his route 377 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 1: running and you know, week one we didn't get to 378 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: see as much of it, but last week was clearly 379 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: the guy and delivered in a big way. Yeah, he did. 380 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: You know, I do go back to week one. He 381 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: got tackled a few times, so there was one way 382 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: to cover and more people just put their hands aroun 383 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 1: him and held him. Uh. So he's a very difficult 384 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: cover for DBS one on one, uh and we know that. 385 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 1: So He's gonna get attention from the safety's he's gonna 386 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,640 Speaker 1: get attention from linebackers and and people gotta as they 387 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 1: cover him, are gonna know where their help is. All right, defensively, 388 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: end of the game, we know that there was obviously 389 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: a breakdown, but overall, what did you see from your defense? Positive? 390 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 1: And then, outside of the breakdowns, which is obvious, that 391 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,880 Speaker 1: needs to be clean up, what needs to get better? Yeah, 392 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: I mean we're just bottom line, in football, you've got 393 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: to score more points than the other team and right 394 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 1: now we're just giving up to make points. Uh. And 395 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 1: we know that there's there's some uh inopportune times for 396 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 1: some miscommunications that are leading to points, and that's that's 397 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: a very, very big deal, something that we have to 398 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 1: get fixed. Uh. We're we're working on it, we're changing 399 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 1: some things up in what we do in order to 400 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: address it. Uh. And then at the end of the day, 401 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,360 Speaker 1: we just need to play the defense called and as 402 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 1: as simple as it sounds, but really messaging throughout our 403 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: defense and coaches, players, you name it. We just gotta 404 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: play what's called, uh, and understand that not every defense 405 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 1: doesn't take away every play on offense. For instance, you 406 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: play three deep, you're gonna avoid the flats. You need 407 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: to rally and make a tackle. You play cloud, you're 408 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 1: gonna give some things up underneath in the middle of 409 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: the field, you gotta rally make a tackle. So at 410 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 1: the end of the day, you're not gonna hold them 411 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: to no yards. But we just got to do a 412 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: better job of understanding where we fit in the defense 413 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: and playing what's called. How much discussion has there been 414 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 1: of situational awareness? And I think you could go back 415 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: to up, you know, nine six minutes ago against Carolina. 416 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 1: Go in this game. They have no time outs, a 417 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 1: minute fifty five like. If you're wrong in coverage and 418 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 1: it be the result is that you give up a 419 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 1: twelve yard out, like so what the one thing we 420 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 1: can't do is let the ball go over our head, 421 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: and we've done that now in back to back weeks. 422 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: Is everyone some talk about that and what's kind of 423 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: in the player's response to that? Yeah, obviously there is, 424 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: and it's you know, it's frustrating to watch. I get 425 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: it and I can understand the frustration of our fans 426 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,360 Speaker 1: in those moments and and uh, we just gotta get 427 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: it cleaned up. It's just it's the truth of the matter, 428 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,719 Speaker 1: is what. We can't have the ball going over our 429 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: head when we know that they're passing the ball. We 430 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: know that it's a passing situation. They have to get chunks, 431 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 1: they have to score quickly. Um, we just have to 432 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: play better there. And it's interesting, right because, as you said, 433 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 1: you talked about defense, but no defense is involved. Guys 434 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: going uncovered. So people, all the coaches need at some point. 435 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: It's execution and and it's a combination of everybody. Right. 436 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: It's your preparations for the moment, but in the moment 437 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 1: players are the ones playing and they've got to execute. 438 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 1: And if this team can execute in those moments, we 439 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: have a chance to do something pretty impressive this year. Yeah, 440 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 1: we just got to own it. It just goes back 441 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,479 Speaker 1: to it takes everybody, offense, defense, special teams, it takes players, 442 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,679 Speaker 1: it takes coaches and Um, when we win, we were 443 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: sharing those things and when we lose, we sharing it 444 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: as well. We have an opportunity to go out and 445 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: get another one steelers division game first in the A 446 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: F C north, an opportunity to maintain your your standing 447 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: on top of the division here. What do you see 448 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: from this team? Let's start with the steeler's offense. Again, 449 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: much similar in some ways to the jets. Three very 450 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:09,239 Speaker 1: talented wide receivers, talented in the Backfield, a quarterback on 451 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: another team, but maybe not the same kind of arms, 452 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: flack of but what do you see from that steeler's offense? Yeah, 453 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: it's uh, it's a difficult attack and they're they're definitely 454 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: playing uh. You know, it's a Matt Canada offense with 455 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: Mitch Trobinsky in there. There's a lot of jet sweep, 456 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: a lot of misdirection, you mentioned. They have some really 457 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 1: good players on the perimeter, really good slot, I think, 458 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: a really good tight end. Uh. So they have a 459 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: bunch of different ways that they can beat you on first, 460 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: second and third down. And then Robinski is a really, 461 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: really good athlete. I mean I got to see him 462 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: and when he was in Chicago and I was in 463 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 1: Minnesota those years. He can really move around and hurt 464 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 1: you with his feet. Slip it over to their defensive 465 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: side of the ball. Their offense has struggled some and 466 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,919 Speaker 1: hopefully that will continue Thursday night. Defensively, you think the 467 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,199 Speaker 1: steelers and the first thing you think it was t 468 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: j Watton. Now they still have some other great players, 469 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 1: heyward making, Fitzpatrick, you could go on there, but big 470 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: loss for them, good for us. What do you see 471 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: from this defense now that they don't have t j 472 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 1: watt and they still are really trying to get after 473 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 1: the quarterback and be aggressive? Yeah, they still have a 474 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: bunch of good players and man Alex Highsmith is playing 475 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 1: at a really high level along their front. Uh Making 476 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick's playing as well as the safety can play right now. 477 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 1: He's a ball hawk. He can show up anywhere, as 478 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: we've learned playing him over the course of these last 479 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: few years. He can really line up anywhere. He's got 480 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 1: corner ability, as he played earlier in his career. He 481 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: can play that, he can patrol the middle of the field, 482 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,439 Speaker 1: he can play down low. So He's a guy that 483 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: you have to know where he is when you're playing 484 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: the quarterback position. But it's a great scheme. They play 485 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: a physical brand of football that we have to match. 486 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,880 Speaker 1: How different is it for you week one, week two? 487 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 1: You go against fronts very similar to what you've seen 488 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: all in training camp and now you get this three, four, 489 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 1: the stand up on the outside linebackers, five guys on 490 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: the line, their ability to really be physical against the 491 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: run game. How do you how does that impact? You know, 492 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: our offense and then and how you called the offense. Yeah, 493 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 1: we'll have faced this team, you know, over the years. 494 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: Now we kind of we understand their fronts and they 495 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: play multiple fronts. They do a nice job. They do 496 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: play the five in the line of scrimmage and their 497 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,679 Speaker 1: base odd front, but they play plenty of even fronts 498 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: and over fronts where it's four down out of the 499 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 1: same personnel. So you really have to be ready for 500 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: anything when you're playing a steelers defense. You gotta be 501 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: ready for their nickel to all personnels. You'll be ready 502 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,959 Speaker 1: for their base to all personnels. So they definitely make 503 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 1: your work. Last year, going into a Thursday night game, 504 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 1: you were coming off of a tough one at home. 505 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,120 Speaker 1: You got the Thursday night game at home and we're 506 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: able to go out there and deliver against the Denver broncos. 507 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: To be on a broad up look, we were able 508 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 1: to do this very similar situation last year. Rally get 509 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: it done. Let's do it again this week. Yeah, I 510 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: think the guys know what's at stake. You know, it's 511 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: a division opponent at our place Thursday night football, so 512 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: it's gonna be an electric crowd down there. I think 513 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: the guys uh really understand what's at stake. Coach. Thank 514 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: you so much for the time. Best of luck in 515 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 1: right back on track quickly here Thursday night against the steelers.

I feel like I had people in the 519 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: building that can tell me the truth, and I think 520 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: that's really important because I don't want this to be 521 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 1: a place where I don't get the truth from our guys. 522 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: This is the coach Kevin Stefanski show. You're listening to 523 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: the university hospitals Cleveland Brown's Radio Network. Here are your hosts, 524 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 1: Nathan Szagura and Gerard Cherry. Welcome back to the Kevin 525 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,479 Speaker 1: STEFANCI show in the university hospitals Cleveland Brown's Radio Network. 526 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: Very happy to be joined now by Brown's cornerback, Greg 527 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 1: newsome and Greg let's just start and get this over with. 528 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: We can move forward real quickly. You guys watch the tape. 529 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: You know what you have to clean up. But was 530 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 1: kind of the tone and the kind of the messaging 531 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,640 Speaker 1: in your meeting room, in your position room, to get 532 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 1: this fix so that we can go take care of 533 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: business like we know we can. Um is honestly just, 534 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,120 Speaker 1: you know, have practice be the game, you know, when 535 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,439 Speaker 1: we go through walkthroughs, have it be Chris, have it 536 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: be sound, have everyone, you know, paying attention and you know, 537 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: really just to lock in. I feel like we do. 538 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 1: That is it should be an easy fix. Are we 539 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: like with the hand signals? Usada, a walk gave the 540 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: hand signal and most everybody got it on that one play. 541 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 1: Is there now into something in place, like all right, 542 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 1: everybody acknowledged the hand signals or anything like that? Yeah, 543 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 1: we're just gonna try to, you know, overcommunicate. So corners, 544 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,439 Speaker 1: look at safety, safety, look at Corner Mike, look at 545 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: a lot like everything. So you know, that's just what 546 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: we're gonna try to do. You don't want to put 547 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: too many signals on tape all the time as well either, 548 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: because then you know obviously the offense may know, but 549 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,400 Speaker 1: you know, we gotta find some way. We're still trying 550 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 1: to figure out of you know, not necessarily having hand 551 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: signals every week, but just making sure we actually make 552 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: eye contact when we're talking to each other. All right. 553 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: So that's gonna get cleaned up. And now this defense 554 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: has an opportunity, is we've talked about at the end 555 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: of the year, to be special. We've seen flashes of 556 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: that through two weeks. When you guys kind of go 557 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,399 Speaker 1: back and watch yourselves take those the blow plays out 558 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,199 Speaker 1: of it, that doesn't matter. What have you seen in 559 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: the regular defense that you like and what have you 560 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 1: seen that you guys want to improve? I feel like 561 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: we're elite, you know, other than those, like you said, 562 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 1: those busted coverages, feel like we've been playing great football. Um, 563 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: you know, even week two, obviously, you know, he ended 564 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: with three hund or some yards. The first half he 565 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: had a hundred yards, like we just gotta clean up 566 00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 1: some stuff, and most of that came in the fourth 567 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: quarter and then, you know, you go back to week 568 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: one once again, didn't really have them many yards. Blown 569 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,679 Speaker 1: covers a lot of yards. So I think we've been 570 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: doing a lot of things great, Um, but at the 571 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: end of the day you gotta stay consistent, Um, and 572 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: you gotta, you know, do it for four quarters. You 573 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 1: can't do it for three quarters. You can't do it 574 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 1: for three quarters in ten minutes. You gotta played the whole, 575 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,120 Speaker 1: you know, sixty minute football game. So that's what we're 576 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: looking to accomplish next. And the next opportunity comes with 577 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh steelers coming to town Thursday night, back at home. 578 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 1: And last year, look, you guys had a rough one 579 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: and then he had a Thursday night against Denver that 580 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: came right after it. We're able to get it done. 581 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: How do you kind of draw on that, turn the 582 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 1: page and get ready for a big game, man, steelers 583 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: a week Um. So I think it's it's pretty easy. 584 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: You know, if if you're not hype, you know, you 585 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,679 Speaker 1: know the history between the Browns Industraila. So if you're 586 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: not hyped to play in that game, you're not gonna 587 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 1: be hyped to play. Um. It's like rivalry reek and 588 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: UH in college. So, uh, you know, we're super high. 589 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:50,959 Speaker 1: We know our fans would be there to support us, Um, 590 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 1: and you know we're just looking to go get that 591 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 1: dub similar to the jets two, I thought had a 592 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: very good receiving trio with Elijah Moore, Corey Davis and 593 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 1: then Garrett Wilson. So do the steelers, Sante Johnson, chase Claypool, 594 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: the rookie George Pickens, good tight end friar mouth. How 595 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,159 Speaker 1: do you guys kind of prepare for that group and 596 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 1: and some of the new things they're doing this year? Yeah, 597 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,439 Speaker 1: you know, it's just to you know, watch film. Obviously 598 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: is a short week, so you know, you gotta really 599 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,880 Speaker 1: get on your film study as much as you can 600 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: and you know, at the end of the day you 601 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,400 Speaker 1: gotta just do our job and that's, you know, contest 602 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 1: balls and, you know, win our one on once. That 603 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: that's the message, winning one on one, because obviously it's 604 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,199 Speaker 1: more of a short week so it's hard to you know, 605 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: get in all the film that you normally getting in 606 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 1: a full week's time. So you know, at the end 607 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: of the day, you know it might be some stuff 608 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 1: that we don't see, that we don't game plan, but 609 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 1: at the end of the day we gotta one on 610 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 1: one on once. Deante Johnson is one of the better 611 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 1: route runners in the league and the guy who can 612 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: create separation. What makes him so tough to deal with? Yes, 613 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: first of all, he's not, you know, that big receiver, 614 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 1: so that's already a challenge in himself. He's already lower 615 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: than you. UH, as hard as to put hands on 616 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: a guy like that. He's super quick, he's super fast. 617 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: I mean I said last year, I feel like he's 618 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: the best one that I wanted just last year. So, Um, 619 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: he's definitely a great receiver and you know, we're looking 620 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,439 Speaker 1: forward to that. Man, when you watch them and the 621 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: things that you have watched, feels like a lot of misdirection, 622 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: a lot of jets, a lot of trying to flow 623 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 1: you one way get them all back the other way. 624 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 1: What what's different about that from what you've seen in 625 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 1: the past with the steelers offense? Yeah, Um, you know, 626 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,680 Speaker 1: big Ben wasn't as mobile as Mitch. So Um, there's 627 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: a lot more you know, boots and and things like 628 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: that and letting mischie get out of the pocket. Uh. 629 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 1: So that's something you definitely got to prepare for. And then, 630 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 1: I mean it's kind of sort of like the jets offense. 631 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: A lot of you know, stuff to get your eyes 632 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: in the wrong you know position and then trying to 633 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 1: work after that. So I'm at the end of the 634 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,679 Speaker 1: day we're gonna there's gonna be a real game to 635 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 1: show our communication is there and you know, our eyes 636 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: are good, all right, and I know that it's going 637 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: to be. Let's talk just for a second about you 638 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: guys in there, in that room. Did you guys come 639 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: together at all and say look, we're too good for this, 640 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: like we we know how talented we are. We gotta 641 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: go out there and prove it. Oh, for sure. Yeah, 642 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: we had a defensive meeting before, you know, a full 643 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: defensive meeting. We had a players meeting Um, and just 644 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: talk about things Um. And I think the the best 645 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 1: part about it all, honestly, is, you know, people are 646 00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: mad about stuff like that. You know, there are some 647 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: teams who, you know, I used to that, like we're 648 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: not used to that, and we see all the talent 649 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: that we have in the room. So things like that. 650 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: It should have hurt us and you know, and we 651 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: should be mad about it, but I think we'll get 652 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 1: it fixed and it's totally weak too. That's that's the 653 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: you know, good thing about it, and you know the 654 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: fact that people are that mad this early is honestly 655 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: a positive sign. It shows that people are brought in 656 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: and know that we have a really good football team 657 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 1: and we have a chance to prove it on Thursday night. 658 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 1: For sure we will do that. Great thanks so much 659 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: of the time. Good luck. Appreciate it all right. That's 660 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: Greg newsome, Brown's second year cornerback, and we had to 661 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 1: have a little bit of a tough conversation. It's not 662 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 1: certainly what I like to do, but we had to 663 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: address the elephant in the room there and Gerard, what 664 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 1: I came away from that with? With two things. One, 665 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 1: people are pissed about what happened, and justifiably so, just 666 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 1: as fans are, just as everybody who likes the Cleveland Browns. 667 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 1: It's good to hear that there's that kind of emotion 668 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 1: in the locker room to me, and too, they had 669 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:55,959 Speaker 1: a player's only meeting. I'm not a player, wasn't a player. 670 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: What does it mean now? If we go a lot 671 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 1: of ways with that road, it's good go. Haven't stop 672 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 1: laughing up, but what does that mean in your mind? 673 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: What does that tell you when you have a player's 674 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: only meeting, and what are those like? What do they entail? 675 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 1: I'm laughing either, because normally, I suggested, is one of 676 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: the worst things you can possibly have, is a player's 677 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: only meeting. But in some situations they are actually a positive, 678 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 1: and when it comes off of a one in which 679 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: you lose the game in two weeks in a a row, 680 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 1: you find yourself in a scenario talk it out cold. 681 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: Guys accountable, because ultimately it comes down to that being accountable. 682 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: No one is bigger than a team and guys need 683 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 1: to know that and be addressed on that. That do. 684 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: You need to do your job. You're freelancing, you're doing 685 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 1: your own thing, and blowing coverages is not gonna cut it. 686 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: We're not gonna tolerate that. Granted, we're not responsible for 687 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: your paycheck going into your bank account, but we are 688 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: responsible for respecting you and want you to be a 689 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: part of this thing we call a football team, and 690 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 1: if you're gonna remain respected by your teammates and one 691 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 1: in here, you need to step up, and that's really 692 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: what the best thing that can come on these meetings. 693 00:30:58,440 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: The worst thing that can come on these means of 694 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 1: guys is going there just yelling for the sake of yelling, 695 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: which I've been in part of that before to where 696 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 1: nothing gets done, is just a chance to express your 697 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: feelings and act like you really care. So ultimately it's 698 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: about holding guy's accountable and taking information from that and 699 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: moving forward. You do do just what you're supposed to do, 700 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 1: which is your job, and again give it your all 701 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 1: and being committed. Week two of them having this meeting 702 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: is a good thing because I definitely don't want this 703 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 1: to continue for the long term because ultimately it's gonna 704 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: get you beat again if you keep doing it. So again, 705 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: a player's meaning can be a good thing or could 706 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 1: be a bad thing, but it sounds like to me, 707 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: based on what Greg had to say, it was a 708 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: positive look. This is the ultimate team sport and you 709 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: know as well as anybody on a defense and in 710 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,479 Speaker 1: a secondary everybody must be on the same page and 711 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,959 Speaker 1: if there are checks, and as you know, motions cause checks, 712 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: everybody's got to get the check and everybody's got to 713 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: be on the same page, and so that's something that 714 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: these guys and we'll be honest. Look, this is the same. 715 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: Starting corners are the M J Emerson's new, but other 716 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: than that, Benzel, Greg Greedy, who has not played yet 717 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: this year, but he's around, and then John Grant, Ronnie. 718 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: It's the same guys. A The linebackers are the same, 719 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 1: your back seven is the same. In fact, your whole 720 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,479 Speaker 1: defense is the same other than your defensive tackles from 721 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 1: a year ago. So these things can't be happening and 722 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: I think they know that and they're gonna try to 723 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 1: get it figured out. You know, you know try to. 724 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 1: They have to get it figured they must better to 725 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 1: figure it out because if you don't, some changes need 726 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 1: to be made there. You're exactly right, and we don't 727 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 1: want any changes to be made on this show. It 728 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 1: is time for us to take a break. We're going 729 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 1: to do that and if you ever wonder why they 730 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 1: send three or four players out for the coin toss, 731 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 1: maybe it's because sometimes it's better to have a teammate 732 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: with you. That's true for gambling also. Gambling alone can 733 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: get you in trouble. So keep it social, keep it 734 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: fun and get more tips like this that keep it fun. 735 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 1: Ohio Dot Com.

All right, let's go 752 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 1: around the league right now, Gerard, and we're gonna start 753 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 1: with the undefeated teams in the NFL, Miami, Buffalo, Kansas, city, Philly, 754 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 1: who we saw for those joint practices, the giants and 755 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, which is the worst two and O team 756 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 1: in your mind. The group you just named I'm gonna 757 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 1: have to say the Miami Dolphins, and granted it was 758 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 1: impressive what they did against the Ravens and coming back 759 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,880 Speaker 1: in that dramatic fashions, two of throwing six touchdowns in 760 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: the process of getting a job done, but the running 761 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 1: game has not been that great and they gave up 762 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,400 Speaker 1: a lot of points on the defense, aside to Lamar Jackson. 763 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 1: So I'M gonna have to say how that group or two, 764 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 1: though they're moving up to charts. In my mind, the 765 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 1: dolphins are the least of that two and two and 766 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 1: o squads that you just put out there. I would 767 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 1: agree with you. Of the two and O teams in 768 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 1: the a F C. I think buffalo is the best 769 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,239 Speaker 1: team in the NFL right now. Kansas City is very 770 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 1: good and then you've got the Miami Dolphins. But philly 771 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 1: looks great. Champ it doesn't look great, but they're still Tampa. 772 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 1: To me it's the giants. Like I think if philly 773 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 1: played the giants, I would like. I mean if Miami 774 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 1: played the giants, I'd like Miami's chances against the giants, 775 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 1: just tyreek Hill, waddle, the talent, they've got their good defense. 776 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,360 Speaker 1: The giants they've gotten it done. You gotta give them credit. 777 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,800 Speaker 1: Brian DABLES found a way. Now, it wasn't very pretty 778 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 1: and I think the titans aren't that great and it 779 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 1: certainly wasn't pretty and beating the panthers, but that's the 780 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,399 Speaker 1: team to me that stands out. Yeah, and that's fair 781 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,439 Speaker 1: and I would agree with that. If you say NFC team, 782 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,920 Speaker 1: I would certainly say the giants out of two because 783 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 1: they week, I mean they took Baker Mayfield and panthers 784 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,879 Speaker 1: down to the wire and then last week, to their credit, 785 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,799 Speaker 1: they beat the titans and that was a close, condensed game. 786 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:41,879 Speaker 1: But heck, the titans didn't helped the cause because last 787 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 1: night the buffalo bills made them look beyond suspect and 788 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,320 Speaker 1: I'm worried about my man's job at this continues, and 789 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,720 Speaker 1: I'm talking about Mike Rabel. Yeah, and I almost thinking 790 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 1: this might be people when I think this is a 791 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 1: bit premature. But if I'm the Tennessee titans right now, 792 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 1: I am trying to send because New Orleans Jameis Winson's 793 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 1: got that back issue now. He looked terrible in that 794 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 1: game against the Rock. Three picks, and doesn't he have 795 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 1: like four broken bones in his back something insane like that. 796 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,279 Speaker 1: I'd be Shopping Ryan Tannehill. Our window is closed. It's done. 797 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,880 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it's over for the Tennessee Titans. I'm shopping 798 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,800 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill. I'm trying to get something out of New Orleans. 799 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,200 Speaker 1: Maybe they're interested in bringing him in to kind of 800 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 1: help steer that shift there. Maybe the Pittsburgh steelers say look, no, 801 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:25,960 Speaker 1: we don't. We're not ready for Kenny Pickett yet, but 802 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 1: we think we have a good defense. Ryan Tannehill, with 803 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,280 Speaker 1: those receivers, he could run this offense better than Mitch Drabinsky. 804 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,759 Speaker 1: And then I'm turning it over to Malik Willis. I 805 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,760 Speaker 1: think it's your on three. For the Tennessee Titans, no playout. 806 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,720 Speaker 1: They have no playmakers on offense other than Derrick Henry. 807 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,960 Speaker 1: They got rid of all their good receivers. I don't know. 808 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 1: They don't look very good to me at all. But 809 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 1: what problem with that is, though, Nathan is, that was 810 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 1: gonna be tempting and challenging, is that the AFC south 811 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:53,719 Speaker 1: is so suspect that who knows, I mean the Jaguarson 812 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,880 Speaker 1: a good chance to win his day. I agree. He 813 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,800 Speaker 1: really couldn't agree more and by what a difference. A 814 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:00,879 Speaker 1: year with Doug Peter, that are two weeks with Doug 815 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,279 Speaker 1: Peterson makes a pay a year with fire. All right, 816 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,319 Speaker 1: let's turn it around. The Best Oh and two team, 817 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,600 Speaker 1: the O and two teams, Atlanta Carolina, the raiders, the 818 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 1: titans and the bengals. I'm going to go ahead and 819 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:14,840 Speaker 1: say the raiders are the bet of the O and 820 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:16,319 Speaker 1: two teams. I think it's just gonna take a little 821 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 1: bit time for Josh and Company to get connected and 822 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,320 Speaker 1: get on the same page. I'm not filling the bengals. 823 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,319 Speaker 1: You've spent all this money to do. What? Show up 824 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,919 Speaker 1: your office the line, you got dudes doing commercial talking 825 00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 1: about his security guard is here and all this other 826 00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:31,279 Speaker 1: type of stuff, and it, dude, has been nothing with 827 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:35,200 Speaker 1: a turnstyle. Far As burrow getting sacked and I happen 828 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,240 Speaker 1: to do what four sacks of games, something that crazy 829 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,960 Speaker 1: thinks thirteen times. It's crazy right there, to say the least. 830 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,759 Speaker 1: So I'm definitely saying the raiders, out of the group 831 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:46,840 Speaker 1: that you just mentioned, is the better of the teams 832 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:48,799 Speaker 1: that you gotta find a way to win. They could 833 00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:50,480 Speaker 1: have beaten the chargers and they should have beaten the 834 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:54,080 Speaker 1: Arizona cardinals, either neither or both. which quarterback are you 835 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,240 Speaker 1: buying more through two games? To a tongue of Voloa 836 00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:01,440 Speaker 1: or jalen hurts? I am by both. I'm buying jalen 837 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,399 Speaker 1: based on the composure and the ability that I saw 838 00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,840 Speaker 1: to operate within and outside the pocket last night to 839 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,280 Speaker 1: get the job done in a very dominant fashion against 840 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,240 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings. And then to him. We've been saying 841 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 1: for the I'll speak for myself. I've been saying for 842 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 1: the past year or two the guy can't throw either. 843 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:21,120 Speaker 1: Look at him now. He looks through six touchdowns, Dan 844 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,759 Speaker 1: Marino and Bob Greasy esque type of things. So you 845 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,520 Speaker 1: have to be impressed with that. You've got to be. 846 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,719 Speaker 1: I'm still not sold. I think that you saw him 847 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,600 Speaker 1: under throw tyree hill a few times in that game. Jalen, 848 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,399 Speaker 1: he's got phenomenal receivers and he's got an unbelievable play 849 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,399 Speaker 1: caller and Mike mcdaniel. But he's been he's been good 850 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 1: and if he can continue that they can be good. 851 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 1: But there I think the reason that you said Miami 852 00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:44,640 Speaker 1: earlier is the worst two an oh team is to 853 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,959 Speaker 1: a let's be honest about it. Jalen hurts absolutely looks 854 00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,360 Speaker 1: like the real deal. Finally, through two weeks bills, I 855 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 1: think it's unless you disagree, I think it's clear they're 856 00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 1: the best team in the NFL right now. WHO's number 857 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,719 Speaker 1: two for you? I am going to actually go with 858 00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,719 Speaker 1: the Kansas City chiefs. I think they're right on their 859 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,239 Speaker 1: hills as well. They're playing motivated because everyone's doubting them 860 00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,560 Speaker 1: and Tarek Hill was a catalyst to get them fired 861 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,160 Speaker 1: up for greatness. Yeah, I think it's the chiefs or 862 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 1: the chargers. Now the chiefs did beat the chargers at Arrowhead, 863 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,360 Speaker 1: but if you watch that game, sure felt like the 864 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,960 Speaker 1: chargers should have won it. Pick sitting down down there 865 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 1: changes the game. I like that chargers team a lot, 866 00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 1: but I think those two teams are definitely the next two. 867 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 1: Inline be sure to stop by the free twisted tetail 868 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 1: gate pregame party prior to every home game.

Let's start with stock up. 893 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,800 Speaker 1: Who Stock is up headed into Thursday night against the steelers? 894 00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:47,040 Speaker 1: Look at the office and take a pick of what player, 895 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,760 Speaker 1: but Austin Star, with the quarterback, Jacobe sent your stock 896 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:53,320 Speaker 1: is rising. Hi, my friend, you look amazing on Sunday. 897 00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,759 Speaker 1: It's a shame with such a great effort you can't 898 00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,719 Speaker 1: get any credit for because of squad loss. And I'M 899 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:00,880 Speaker 1: gonna go with the guy catching lot of his passes, 900 00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,040 Speaker 1: nine of them over a hundred yards, of Marii Cooper. 901 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,480 Speaker 1: His releases are a thing of beauty to watch, the 902 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:07,719 Speaker 1: way he gets off the line of scrimmage and Carolina, 903 00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 1: it was effective. They tackled him a few times. We 904 00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,239 Speaker 1: got penalties for it, but they limited him out there 905 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,279 Speaker 1: and this one he was the number one guy and 906 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,319 Speaker 1: you love to see it. That's why he was brought here. 907 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,920 Speaker 1: What a what a just a beautiful route runner. He 908 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,319 Speaker 1: is all right, step up. I'm pretty sure we're gonna 909 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,120 Speaker 1: have the same one here. But who's got to step up? 910 00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,000 Speaker 1: I wanted to say the secondary. It's really a simple 911 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,680 Speaker 1: for me. I won't even go individual because at this 912 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,960 Speaker 1: point I don't know what's going on with the secondary 913 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,040 Speaker 1: to cause. But it's really simple. You can't blow coverages 914 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,520 Speaker 1: and cost your team in game two weeks in a row, 915 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,319 Speaker 1: almost where you could potentially be owing two when you 916 00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,799 Speaker 1: had games one outright because you're a better squad. So communicate, 917 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,000 Speaker 1: do the things that basically you need to do in 918 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:50,080 Speaker 1: pop warn and peewee football. That's it's that simple nating. 919 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,239 Speaker 1: So for me, the DBS need to all step up. 920 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,720 Speaker 1: I'M gonna agree with you times infinity. That's the group 921 00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:58,399 Speaker 1: that needs step up. But I'll throw out another name, 922 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,200 Speaker 1: Alex Right. We know we won't and have Jadevion Clowney. 923 00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,960 Speaker 1: We might not have myles Garrett, the Brown's third round 924 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,439 Speaker 1: pick out of the University of Alabama, burning him. He's 925 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,240 Speaker 1: gonna have to play a big role in Isaiah Thomas 926 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:11,799 Speaker 1: and Isaac Rochelle into that as well, but we're gonna 927 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,520 Speaker 1: need those young defensive ends to step up and get 928 00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,799 Speaker 1: some pressure on Mitch trabiscuit. It's all coming your way 929 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,880 Speaker 1: in just two days. Thursday night football the browns and 930 00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,520 Speaker 1: the steelers at First Energy Stadium.
