1 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: And we welcome you into a busy Wednesday here in Barria, 2 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 1: home of the Cleveland Browns. The Browns one and one 3 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,959 Speaker 1: on the two thousand nineteen season, after a big Monday 4 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: night football win over the Jets three to three. Some ups, 5 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: some downs, while we're gonna break it down for your 6 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: real quick We didn't yesterday because frankly, it was kind 7 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: of a rough day for us. No one got to 8 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,200 Speaker 1: bed I think before four am if I'm correct, on Monday, 9 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:36,880 Speaker 1: and then we had meetings all and this is in 10 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: construction studio. Also, yeah, a lot of a lot of 11 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: variables of play it is. It is a total work 12 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 1: in progress right now, gentlemen, let's get right down to it. 13 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: Takeaways from Monday Nights win. I'm gonna ask you for 14 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: one on the offense, one on the defense, and one 15 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: on special teams. Let's go around the horn on offense. First, 16 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: gribble offense. I do think there was progress. I do 17 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: think this was a better off instan the one you 18 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: saw a week one. But my takeaway is that it's 19 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: still maybe a little bit too reliant on the big play. 20 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 1: And I think that you had basically your two passes 21 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: to Odell in that game, the thirty three yarder at 22 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 1: the beginning, then obviously the eighty nine yard that clenched it. 23 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: That was the best draw offense had throughout the game. 24 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: You had a long passage Ernest Johnson, just not enough 25 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 1: sustainable drives uh for my liking. But it was more 26 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: than enough uh in this game. So it's good to 27 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 1: have progress in a win, but still so much more 28 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: to to get better at offensively. Number one, it's good 29 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: to have Odell become junior in your team. I think 30 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: everybody knows that, UM. But I thought we had got 31 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: a better game from the offensive line. It seemed like 32 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: Baker had some more time to throw. It was pressured 33 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: at times, he didn't get sacked a couple of times, 34 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: but overall, I think that was much improved, which I 35 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: know a lot of people were concerned with after Week one. 36 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: So hopefully they can sleep easier now after that game. 37 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: And uh. But like Gribble said, you know, it's you 38 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: still need more consistency in your offense and and the 39 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: ability to move the chains four or thirteen on third 40 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: down is not going to cut it against team like 41 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: the one that the Browns are gonna be playing this week. 42 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: So that needs to improve. And the thing is it 43 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: wasn't a lot of third and longs that this you 44 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: you weren't in trouble with penalties in this game, so 45 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 1: these were third manageables that that weren't getting converted more. 46 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: Nick Chubb. My takeaway, Yeah, I'm just gonna keep oning 47 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: that drum like I need him on the field on 48 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: third and two, and we we didn't see that in 49 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: some things. Um, I just think he is such a 50 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 1: big piece of this puzzle. You've got to find ways 51 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,519 Speaker 1: to get him the ball to make plays, whether it's 52 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 1: throwing it, whether it's running it. More, Nick Chubb is 53 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,239 Speaker 1: what we need. Ye touches in this game and came 54 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: really close to a hundred total all purpose yards, but 55 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: only a team carries. Yeah, and especially in a game 56 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,679 Speaker 1: that you led the entire game, should be running the 57 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: ball a little bit more, especially in that fourth quarter 58 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: after that Odell touched n defensively shook. We'll start with 59 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: you the first take away that the front seven is 60 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: just doing wonders. And you know, Levan Bell is a 61 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: really good player. And and even though he was probably 62 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: their best performer offensively, Himmer, Robbie Anderson, Um, he still 63 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: wasn't that much of a factor. I mean, that's how 64 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 1: good this defense is. They got they stiffened um in 65 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: you know, fourth and two in their red zone. They 66 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: forced the Jet to turn the ball over on downs 67 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: because of playing proper technique, forcing Bell back inside when 68 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: he wanted to get to the sideline and try to 69 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,519 Speaker 1: win the race to the sticks, and then made a 70 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: nice tackle in open space to limit him there. That 71 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: was the kind of game that they had overall for 72 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: the most part. Now you could look at Luke falk 73 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: stat line and say, well, he was yards and his 74 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: pastor rating was almost a hundred, and this is the 75 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: guy who's a third string quarterback. That's concerning right. Well, 76 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: not not necessarily, because the Jets had to throw the 77 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: ball a lot, and uh the Browns were again working 78 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: with the lead, and especially by the fourth quarter twenty 79 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: point leads. So, uh, this this team's gonna go as 80 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: this defense goes, I think for this first half of 81 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: the season, or at least for the next few weeks, 82 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: just because the offense still needs to kind of figure 83 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: it out out. And in Week one it kept him 84 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: in the game until the fourth quarter, and in in a 85 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: week two it it kind of won the game for them. 86 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: So because the next very next play with the Odell 87 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: touchdown pass, and you don't get that opportunity. Uh, if 88 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: you don't get that stop. So a great game from 89 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: the defense. It's early, but the Browns may have found 90 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,919 Speaker 1: something in Greedy Williams. Uh. He there was a rotation 91 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: in game one, there was no rotation in game two. 92 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: He played all but one snap. Terren Terrence Mitchell did 93 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: not play on defense in this game. So and from 94 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: my Pro Football Focus has rated him the top rookie 95 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: corner so far. From my eyes, it doesn't look like 96 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: teams are really throwing on him. He's not letting guys 97 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: get open. Granted, this is a much the Jets are 98 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: a much different team than the Rams a wide receiver, uh, 99 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: and they were dealing with Luke Falk instead of you know, 100 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: a starting quarterback. But uh, he's handled the challenge very 101 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: well and doesn't look like a rookie out there has 102 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: not been exposed uh yet. I'm sure he's gonna have 103 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 1: his moments coming up as a as a rookie. But 104 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 1: right now, it looks like the Browns have found a 105 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: starting corner ins and it's their second round pick. I 106 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: say for those say whatever you want. We've seen positives 107 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: and negative said about Joe Schobert. He makes place, he 108 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 1: was all over the field. Shower had himself maybe his 109 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: best game as a professional on Monday Night. It was 110 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: pretty impressive. Well, and you needed it because this was 111 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: this reminding me a little bit of the Ravens game 112 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 1: last year when you had you knew a team was 113 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: going to try to run and had to head stars 114 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 1: at running back. Uh and the linebackers didn't play well 115 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 1: against Ravens. But they're the reason why Levi on Bell 116 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: really never he had a ton of touches, ten catches, 117 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: twenty plus carries, but never really had a big play 118 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: until the end when he fumbled the ball after that 119 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 1: long reception. A very very impressive performance. Special teams. I 120 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: don't want to say takeaway, but your thoughts on the 121 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: special teams Monday night? I mean, is there a more 122 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 1: improved area on the team ran? When you don't let 123 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: the team I mean, when you don't let the team 124 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,799 Speaker 1: return a punt, that's that's that's a step in the retraction. 125 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: They've had one punt returned the entire season on them. 126 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: It's been for five yards. Uh, So Scottish Hammer's doing 127 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: exactly what he needs to do. And even kickoff coverage 128 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: that they get the I forget even the returner's name. 129 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: Decided to return that one early in the game, got 130 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: out to the fifteen yard line and then he was 131 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 1: kneeling it one yard inside the end zone after that 132 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: that and yeah, you gotta give credits Austin Cybert, who 133 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 1: is who is a perfect four for four on Monday 134 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: night with his kicks, and also is doing a great 135 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,359 Speaker 1: job of hanging to kickoff on the goal line. I 136 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: mean it's really hard to down the paul in the 137 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: end zone. If you're catching on the goal line, guess 138 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: what you can't you have to return it. And uh 139 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: and so he's done a really good job of that 140 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: and really is bounced back well after missing that extra 141 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 1: point in the opening weekend. And you know, right now 142 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: he's trending upward. Looks like he's you know, starting to 143 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: really get get some consistency and his fundamentals and the 144 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: way he's kicking the football, and it's a big boost 145 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: for the Browns. Yeah. Pretty impressive indeed. And Gil in 146 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 1: the a f C Special Teams Player of the Week 147 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 1: not bad for a rookie. He's already had eight inside 148 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: the twenty yard line so far, and then, like I mentioned, 149 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: really one returned. He's like he's maybe basically his first 150 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 1: punt was not good in the Titans game, but he 151 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: got a very good role in that and everything else 152 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: has been exactly what you needed. Game balls, let's go 153 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: through it. One for offense, one for defense, and I'm 154 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,359 Speaker 1: gonna make you give me one for special teams. Gribble 155 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: game balls. Who would you give out your three game 156 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: balls to. I'm gonna steal Odell Beckham Jr. From you guys. 157 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: For offense, that's the easy one. Anytime you put up 158 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: a hundred and sixty plus yards, six receptions and two 159 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: game changing plays, that's gonna be good enough for me. Uh. Defense, 160 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: I'll go Joe Schobert because he was all over the 161 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: field and really didn't allow the Jets to get any 162 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: big plays out of the running game, more short passing game. 163 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: And then special teams, I'm gonna go with Jarvis Landry, 164 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: who looks I mean, you don't want this to be 165 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: a long term thing, I guess, but he's not afraid 166 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: on part returns and he brings a little something extra 167 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: to it. And I mean, I know we've seen I 168 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: think Don Trelle will be the guy moving forward. But 169 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: there is a reason why he is the X factor 170 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: spark guy because he he does this with reckless abandoned 171 00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: when he when he gets the ball, and he had 172 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: he had a couple really good returns like on Monday, Yeah, 173 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: he was really close to breaking one. He was really 174 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: angry because he tripped. He was basically one cut away 175 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: from maybe ripping a long return and he was so 176 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: angry that he just pounded the ground repeatedly while he 177 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: was on it out of frustration. But I think offensively, 178 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: my game ball is gonna go. Since I can't take 179 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Jr. I'm gonna go with Nick Chubb because 180 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: that touchdown runn he had and and the persistence in 181 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: the carries that he did get. Um. You know, we 182 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: all know he's a hard runner. But they ran a 183 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: lot of insides on a lot of his own stretch players, 184 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: and the Jets did a good job of stringing it 185 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: out and clogging up running lanes early. By the second quarter, 186 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: you could tell the Browns that started to get a 187 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: little bit of footing up front and Nick Chubb made 188 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,719 Speaker 1: the most of it with his touchdown run. He also 189 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: had four catches in the game for thirty six yards, 190 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: continually improving as a past catching back, which will be 191 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: really important for this offense going forward, because when he's 192 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: on the field, you have to first respect his ability 193 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: to run the football, but also you eventually they need 194 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: to develop an equivalent respect for him to catch the 195 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: ball out of the backfield and really making that dynamic player, 196 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: and I think he's getting towards that and games like 197 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,719 Speaker 1: this will help him with that. So, you know, even 198 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 1: though the stat line wasn't huge, he was a key 199 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 1: contributor on the offensive side of the ball. Defensively, I'm 200 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: gonna go with Miles Garrett. I know he got the 201 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: two penalties, but he still had three sacks and this 202 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: is something that we're starting to see. We saw us 203 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: in the preseason a little bit and especially in as 204 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: well as in joint practices, and maybe not so much 205 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: in Week one, but he gets pretty close to breaking 206 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: the will of an opposing left tackle in the game, 207 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: and he had his way with Kelvin Beachuam in that game, 208 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 1: had forced Kelvin beach Hum into I think it was 209 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: a couple of holding flags, uh in that game. And 210 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: he makes guys uncomfortable and he also makes quarterbacks uncomfortable, 211 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,719 Speaker 1: so you know, penalties aside, he had an excellent game. 212 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: And then Special Teams, we're gonna have to go with 213 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: Austin Cybert, you know, for Scottish Hammer got his love 214 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 1: already from the from the league with the a f 215 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: C Special Teams Player of the Week award. We're gonna 216 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: go with Austin Cybert, who is really stringing together some 217 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,959 Speaker 1: nice kicks. So you know, you you try to win. 218 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: In order to win in football, you try to win 219 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 1: all three phases the game. And I think they did 220 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 1: that in this game. We've seen so many times where 221 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: and it's happened to the Browns instead of the Browns 222 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: doing it. With what the Browns did to the Jets 223 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: at the end of that first staff where I had 224 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 1: no feeling that the Browns are even gonna get the 225 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: ball back. They somehow full the Jets into mismanaging their 226 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 1: time outs during that entire sequence, and then you make 227 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 1: the one big throw and then the big kick. I 228 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: mean I think that kick was huge because you miss it, 229 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 1: then the Jets are feeling good about themselves going into 230 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: halftime that they're only down ten, but then you make 231 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 1: that and it's just such a backbreaker where you did. 232 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: The Jets had to be thinking that they were going 233 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: to be going in thirteen three no matter what. That 234 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 1: catched by Jarvis Landry. Yeah, maybe one of the best 235 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: players in the first two weeks of the season. That 236 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: was gonna be the point I was gonna make is 237 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: talking about the guts in that play to catch that 238 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: ball and hang on after he gets hammered from behind 239 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: to make that first down twenty yard picked up on 240 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: a third and twenty and then just enough time for 241 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: you to get up there, spike it and kick and 242 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: having the wherewithal the get up and motion to his teammates, 243 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: and I mean he was very animated. Let's go, come on, right. 244 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: I do wonder if you if he was short of 245 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: the sticks, would would would the team have been able 246 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: to get the field goal unit out fast enough to 247 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: make that kick? I think so it would have been. 248 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: It would have been tight. The spy put what six 249 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: seconds left in the clock somewhereround that time was five 250 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: or six five or six seconds. That would have been 251 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: really tight. Did a good test because they got up 252 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: there to spike pretty quickly. Yeah. Yeah, it was impressive 253 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 1: how quick they got up there. It was good execution 254 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: from And this is funny because you talked about this 255 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: is the thing that usually happened to the Browns in 256 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 1: past years. Usually you would see them mess that up. 257 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: So to see them do it so precisely, so effectively 258 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: and efficiently, it was it was refreshing. I mean, there's 259 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: got to be a stat with the two thou fifteen 260 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: through seventeen Browns, the amount of points allowed in the 261 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: final two minutes of the first half was just through 262 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: the roof. Like it was just it was like clockwork everything, 263 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,719 Speaker 1: and it kills you going into the locker room. Yeah, 264 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 1: you're right, all the momentum in the world. The best 265 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: part of that, too, is after they after they you know, 266 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: snapped the ball and and Baker downs get the field 267 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 1: goal unit. Like Jarvis is John and everybody like his 268 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: own teammates, he's he's all fired up. Cyber's running out 269 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: of the field and he grabbed Cyber basically and like, 270 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: let's go go make this kid right. I just laid 271 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: myself out here, Let's go do this. That's the guy 272 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 1: you need in your locker room and on your team. 273 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: And the good thing about that too is he's always 274 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: aware and always in control no matter the situation. He's 275 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: always aware of down and distance and what needs to 276 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: be done and also which teammates he needs to fire up. Yeah, Uh, 277 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: I'm going to give my game ball to the offensive line. 278 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: Much better effort this week. Obviously, last week you were 279 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,199 Speaker 1: asking a lot from a lot of different guys and 280 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: we saw much better performance. Still work to do, still, 281 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: progress needs to be made. But you know, for a 282 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: defense that they were going up against and you knew 283 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: Gregg was gonna throw some things at him, they I 284 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 1: thought they handled things about as well as they could. 285 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 1: This week is an even bigger challenge obviously with the Rams. Uh. 286 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: Morgan Burnett on the defensive side, before he got dinged up, 287 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 1: I thought really had himself a nice game. He's had 288 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: a couple of good first two games here of two 289 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,199 Speaker 1: thousand nineteen. I thought he played well as well. You've 290 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: given the game balls out to the special teams, Charlie. Hewell, 291 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,719 Speaker 1: there we go. None of us mentioned the scottishammer. Well, no, 292 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: we did in passing because you know he already got there, 293 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: he had the AWARDA he got the big award. He 294 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: doesn't need a r award. That's the way. Yeah, yeah, 295 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: unsung hero from Monday Night. I'll go with the Browns 296 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: defensive tackles because I think that Myles obviously had a 297 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,439 Speaker 1: great game and he was the one getting those sacks. 298 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 1: But I think there was a lot of times where 299 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 1: he was obviously dominating his guy. But then Fulk or 300 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: Simeon we're dealing with a collapse pocket in the middle too, 301 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 1: and it's set up a lot for what he's been doing. 302 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: A lot's been made about how much Vernon is gonna 303 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: help Garrett, but I think that the combination of Richardson 304 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,079 Speaker 1: and Ogan job is really helping what Miles Miles does 305 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: on the outside. Yeah. I love that combination and watching 306 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 1: them work, especially from the first snap on where because 307 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 1: every game is an adjustment for an NFL player. You 308 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: can study all the tape you want, but you don't 309 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,439 Speaker 1: know until you engage with that guy the first time 310 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: up front. So these are two forces inside and they're 311 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: they're kind of like thunder and lightning, with Selan Richardson 312 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: being the thunder and Larry being quicker. He's being the 313 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 1: lightning and I think they're a big task for anybody 314 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: to handle. So watch them on that first or second 315 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: snap and the penetration that they get no matter the opponent, 316 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,839 Speaker 1: it's always really exciting and fun to watch. But even 317 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: though you kind of you gave him a game ball, 318 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this is my unsung heroes the offensive 319 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: line because if you go back and look at that 320 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: Nick Chubb touchdown run, just that specifically, we we spent 321 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: a lot of time talking about right guard and how 322 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: it was it was, you know, a position of concern 323 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: or of question. Joel Bettonio and Eric Kush both got 324 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: to second level and made that run for Nick Chubb. 325 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: They got you know, it's his zone play to the left, 326 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: so you're working up field at an angle, and of 327 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: course Joel is gonna get up there, and he's kind 328 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: of the front side guy on that play. But Eric 329 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: gets in there and kicks the guy out just enough 330 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: for for Chubb to then cut off their run through 331 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: a defender that last four or five yards and stumble 332 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: into the end zone for a touchdown. That play doesn't 333 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: happen if he doesn't get there, because he's got an 334 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: additional defender to make miss. You don't know if the 335 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: Browns end up in the end zone at that point. 336 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: They had a similar situation earlier where they didn't end 337 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: up in the end zone inside the five and and 338 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: because of that block. You know that gave you your 339 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: first touchdown of the night, and even earlier on that 340 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham catch one handed grab. Right, everybody's paying attention 341 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: to that spectacular play. That throw doesn't get off if 342 00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: those offensive linemen up front don't handle a blitz from 343 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: a safety and linebacker who crossed double into the A 344 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: gap and also Nick chob stepping up and filling that 345 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: as well. It was a great blitz pick up. And 346 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: then Baker got to throw off in the perfect spot 347 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: for backing to make an incredible play. So you know, 348 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: unsung hero offensive line, they don't get the credit even 349 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: when they play well, but I think they should. Christian 350 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: Kirksey for me, you know, we talked about show Bart 351 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: having a good game. I know Kirksy got dinged up 352 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: a little bit, but uh, it's nice to have him 353 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: back on the field and he is playing with the 354 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: with a real purpose here after getting hurt last year 355 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: and missing some significant time and uh, you can tell 356 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: he loves being out there and he loves being one 357 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: of the leaders of this football team, and he played 358 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: well on Monday night. Uh, the injury report. We returned 359 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: back to the field today. Uh, nice to see don 360 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: Dontrell Hilliard back doing some things. H Richard Higgins limited. Obviously, 361 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: we'll have to watch and see how that progresses during 362 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: the week. You know, Kirkzy not going to practice today. 363 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: I don't believe Ogan Joebi was practicing today. No, it's 364 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: and you're also looking at Damarius Randall, Morgan Burnett, Darius Taylor, Kirksey, 365 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: Ogan Job, Chris Hubbard, David Njoku, and Kendall Lamb. Still 366 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: a lot of guys not practicing. It is Wednesday after 367 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: a Monday night game, So we'll we'll pay attention to 368 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: this moving forward. But I mean, I think you're looking 369 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: at a potential of a few starters being out for 370 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: those game Sunday, and you need those secondary guys back 371 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: if at all possible. Yeah, based on what you're going 372 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: to be going up against. I mean, it might be 373 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: at all ask for Damarius to get back in time. 374 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: But yeah, so that that could be a tough one. 375 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: But I thought Eric Murray and Whitehead played very well 376 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: on Monday. Any thoughts on the injury front or what 377 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: are you looking for this week as we get ready 378 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: for the Rams. How do you adjust to the likelihood 379 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: that David and Joe who's not gonna play? Because you 380 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: did see the passing offense take a little bit of 381 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: a hit once he went out with his concussion on 382 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: appeared to be a very scary hit and luckily it 383 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: was only a concussion. It could have been much worse. Um, 384 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: you know, so how do you how do your tight 385 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,439 Speaker 1: end group? How does it adjust? You know, Baker kind 386 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: of gave some credit to Ricky Seals Jones and the 387 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: press conference afterwards for being able to come in those 388 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 1: three tight end sets. But now you're looking at Demetriz 389 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: Harris as the one. There was a couple opportunities for 390 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,679 Speaker 1: him to make some plays in the game and he 391 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: did not. Uh. He's you know, he's kind of had 392 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 1: an up and down first season with the Browns, but 393 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: he's very talented. I'm a big fan of him. I 394 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 1: think he's extremely athletic, and I think he might embrace 395 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 1: the number one tight end role in the absence of 396 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 1: najok who this week, and then you know how does 397 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: the rest of the group follow suit? Pharrell Brown, Seals Jones. 398 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: Can they come in and make an impact? Can you 399 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: throw in the multiple tight end packages against a team 400 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 1: that's gonna You're gonna need some additional blockers up front 401 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,400 Speaker 1: because Aaron Donald is going to require a double team 402 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: on every play or almost every play, because he's just 403 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: that good. And oh, by the way, there are other 404 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: good defensive linemen on that line. Michael Brocker's is very good. 405 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 1: Claim Matthews off the edge as an outside linebacker who's 406 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: going to rush also still very good. They gave the 407 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,959 Speaker 1: Saints fits last week, is specially after they lost one 408 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: of their starting guards in the middle of the game. 409 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: So you're gonna need to dedicate a tight end or 410 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: two to blocking those guys. We talked about this in 411 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: the Tennessee game. Oh, we're gonna have to dedicate to 412 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: you guys, to Miles Garrett, We're gonna have to do 413 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: that against the Rams this week. And uh, it's gonna 414 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 1: the responsibilities gonna fall on the shoulders of guys who 415 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 1: maybe didn't think they would be doing that a week 416 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: or two ago, but now without one of your starting 417 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: tight ends in there, you're gonna need them, so we'll 418 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 1: see how they play. What are you looking for this week? Yeah, 419 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 1: I mean it's just gonna be an interesting week in 420 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: terms of how this team handles. I think this is 421 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: your first true underdog moment of the season. I think 422 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 1: after the first two weeks, you're up and down a 423 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: little bit, and the Rams have looked really good and 424 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 1: they are the defending NFC champions, and they've looked apart 425 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 1: so far uh this season. They want a tough game 426 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: in Carolina and then dominated the Saints in a game 427 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 1: where the Saints lost their quarterback. But I think that 428 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: the Rams just played really well. And the thing that 429 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: they've done really well so far is played defense, and 430 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: I think that's it's almost been more impressive than their 431 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: offense so far. So this is gonna be a tough 432 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 1: challenge for for Baker in the offense. I do think 433 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 1: getting back Richard Higgins potentially is a huge help for 434 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: this offense. I think they've really missed him as kind 435 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: of that security, blanket third option out there. With Jarvison O'Dell, 436 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: I think that helps. I'm curious about the Chris Hubbard status. 437 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 1: Uh because I don't I imagine your your next option 438 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: is justin McCrae at that right tackle spot. So that 439 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: that concerns me so especially against a defensive front like 440 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: the Rams. I mean, I think especially after Freddie mentioned 441 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: how much better Hubbard was this game than he was 442 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 1: in Week one. Uh. So it's just a tough challenge. 443 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: But I think that this the Browns are built to 444 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: challenge with any team. Now, this isn't just a game 445 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,439 Speaker 1: you're just gonna throw away because you're injured and the 446 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,640 Speaker 1: Rams are really good. I mean, You're built to compete 447 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: with this team. Uh. And I think that there's gonna 448 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 1: be an extra you got really excited to play on 449 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: Monday night. This is gonna be an extra level of 450 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 1: juice going into this at your home stadium on a 451 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,199 Speaker 1: Sunday night when most of the fans have been at 452 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 1: the Unial for twelve hours. You know. As strange as 453 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: it sounds, I think the had probably the perfect two 454 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: weeks stretch to really prepare them for the environment that 455 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: they're going to be stepping into one Sunday. Because let's 456 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: look at this the season opener, there was a ton 457 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: of energy, maybe too much energy, energy and adrenaline, and 458 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,719 Speaker 1: it might have negatively affected the way that they played. 459 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: Certainly they got a little bit out of control with 460 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: the personal fouls and you know, the emotional penalties that 461 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: they incurred in that game and which was eventually a loss. 462 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: Then they go on the road and what kind of 463 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 1: felt like a must win game, played on Monday night 464 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 1: and played pretty well for the most part, went in 465 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: there and got a twenty point win. And now so 466 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: they've got a little bit of the experience the whole 467 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,719 Speaker 1: The bright lights of of prime time don't really have 468 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: the same effect because you just played in prime time 469 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 1: and you're coming home, but you're not expected to win 470 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 1: like you were in week one. There's gonna be a 471 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: lot of doubters this week. So I think they're gonna 472 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: play that underdog role perfectly, and the stage is not 473 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,159 Speaker 1: gonna be too big for them because they just stepped 474 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: off of it last week. It's almost like you got 475 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 1: your not your dress rehearsal. But you've got that first 476 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,120 Speaker 1: one out of the way. Now you can really come 477 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: in comfortably. You had an ugly opener in front of 478 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: your fan base. You can't have another one. Yeah, yeah, 479 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: you really can't. You gotta show up and show up 480 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: on Sunday night. And I never would have thought this 481 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: just a few weeks ago, thinking I'm not really worried 482 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: about the defense against the Rams offense. It's the other 483 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: way around right now. Um, that's I wonder if you 484 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: can score enough to win this game, because I think 485 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: when you look at the defense, they gave up a 486 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 1: ton of points in that first game and then three 487 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: this this latest game. But even in that first game, 488 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 1: you really didn't have a team march down the field 489 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,679 Speaker 1: against you. With doing what they do on offense. The 490 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: one lengthy drive the Titans had was penalty infused. They 491 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: had the one big play to Derrick Henry and then 492 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: a bunch of short fields after turnovers. So and then 493 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: obviously a completely dominant effort against the Jets. So I 494 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: feel like the defense is in a good spot right now. 495 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: They've got a couple of injuries, but I think they 496 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: can overcome those. The offense is what I think needs 497 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: to step up and rally behind some of these injuries 498 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 1: that might might hurt what they've really because no, no, 499 00:21:58,359 --> 00:21:59,959 Speaker 1: no one on offense will admit that they've really hit 500 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,360 Speaker 1: their stride yet because they haven't. And I might sound 501 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: like I'm trying to play the optimist roll here, but 502 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,679 Speaker 1: I'm not. This is just a genuine thought here that 503 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: you're actually pretty well situated based on what we saw 504 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 1: last year out of Freddy Kitchen's play calling, uh, with 505 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,719 Speaker 1: your coach. I mean, for a game like this, you're 506 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: gonna need to shorten the field at times. You're gonna 507 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: need too complete quicker passes, shorter passes. You need to 508 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 1: rely on the run game a little bit more, and 509 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,719 Speaker 1: you're gonna need to rely on maybe playing the flats 510 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: a little bit because you're not gonna have all data 511 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,959 Speaker 1: throw those those times where Baker has spent uh, you know, 512 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: maybe waiting for his first guy to come open downfield 513 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 1: and pump faking or patting the ball and then bailing 514 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,400 Speaker 1: out of the pocket to try to extend the play 515 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: for him to come open. You're not gonna see that 516 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: as much this week, or at least they can't prepare 517 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 1: to do that as much this week, because you have 518 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: to respect that rush at all times. So I think 519 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna see more of what we saw at times 520 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 1: last year. I think about the Atlanta game last year, uh, 521 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 1: where you're just gonna see the ball spread around, and 522 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna see quick passes, short passes, and all kinds 523 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: of different uh, preplay motion and stuff like that. I 524 00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: think you're going to see more of that. And we 525 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 1: saw a little bit in the run game this week 526 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 1: with a lot of runs out of the shotgun. And 527 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 1: I think you have the right coach in place to 528 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: be able to devise a scheme that could help you 529 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 1: win this game, even if you are considered the inter doctor. 530 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: Someone pointed this out earlier on Twitter a couple of 531 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: days ago. Look at these three defensive coordinators Bakers had 532 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,880 Speaker 1: to go up against these first three weeks, Danps, longtime 533 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator Greg Williams, been doing it for thirty plus years, 534 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,239 Speaker 1: and now Waite Phillips. This has been, uh, this has 535 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: been a rough in terms of you're not facing the 536 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 1: most elite defenses out there, but led by guys who 537 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 1: can know how to scheme and as well. All hands 538 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: on deck for Sunday to be sure, we're putting the 539 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 1: Jets game to bed.
