5

Speaker 1: at the thirty three yard line. Cam Taylor Britt, the

10
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: young cornerback on the coverage. What a play by t

11
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: p J. In the shotgun. Burrow takes it, turns, whips

12
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: it left and it's chip dead, pecked off, intercepted down

13
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,000

18
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: wide right. Chuff's gonna take a direct snap, takes it

19
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: runs right, cuts left, he goes in touchdown. What a play.

20
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: Hudson down a lot emotion. They give it to Jeff

21
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:24,279
Speaker 1: dances Lap, rops lap. He's in for two. It's ain't nothing.

22
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: James Hudson is doing a gazelle flop over to the sideline.

23
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: He looks like he's skating for gold in the Olympic

24
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,639
Speaker 1: figure skating. Mixing in the backfield with Burrow and Burrow

25
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: play action hip cups the pressure they got off. Isaiah

00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: How about that? What a sack by the rookie. Thomas

28
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: per set play action fake, he drips back, he's up

29
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: in the pocket. He rolls left, rolls left to the playline,

30
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: dives touchdown. Chick coming Bressett. He took the long way home.

31
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: Pricett's got it back to pass stepping, stepping, gonna go along.

32
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: Cooper's out there. He caught it at the fifteen yard line.

33
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: He gets up because he's not touch He running to

34
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: the five. He goes in the end zone and they're

35
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: gonna blow it dead. They're gonna bring him back. He

36
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: caught it. What a catch by a Maori Cooper and

37

00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: chub and he may have plunged this thing wide open.

40
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: Fourth down, Borrow throwing right sideline and set away. Great

41
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: play by m j Emerson. The rookie doesn't again knocked

42
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: the ball away, the ball goes over on downs game

43
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: said match he or are your host Bishop and LinkedIn Zigura.

44
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: It feels good to do a live on a victory

45
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: Tuesday edition of Cleveland Brown's Daily brought to you by

46
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: Tito's Handmade Vodka. Um. You know there was a It

47
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: was the Patriots game where it felt like it was

48
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: a manifestation of all of the bad things all happening

49
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: at once. This was a manifestation of all of the

50
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: good things happening at once. This was to me, it

51
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: felt like everything that we thought this team could be

52
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: at its best, these first eleven games, all coming home

53
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: to roost in one game it was great. It was

54
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: pure joy. I mean, what a night for the city,

55
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: one night for this team, one to night for the

56
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: fans around the world to see the Browns go out

57
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: and turn into performance. And it wasn't perfect. There are

58
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: things that can be improved upon, but it was pretty close.

59
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: Pretty close offense, defense, special teams. I thought masterful game

60
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: planning on both sides of the ball from Joe Woods defensively,

61
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: from Kevin Stefanski on offense, and then the execution of

62
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: the players. And that's when you can have a lot

63
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: of success. Right you lay out a perfect plan and

64
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: then you execute it almost flawlessly. That's when you get

65
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: to have fun. There's something to it the Browns and

66
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: the Bengals, The Browns and Joe Burrow, there's clearly something

67
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: to it. There's something to Miles Garrett and Jonah Williams.

68
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: That guy just has no answer for him and you

69
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: it's apparent watching the way he tried to block Miles

70
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: Um just a great performance. We're gonna give a lot

71
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: of people credit, but I want to give you, know

72
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: the much belieguer Joe Woods a ton of credit for

73
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: the game plan that he came up with against this

74
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: Bengal's offense without Jamaar Chase. But by the way, a

75
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: team that's got Joe Burrow, T Higgins, Tyler Boyd and

76
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon. The last one, I don't know if I

77
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: don't know what that is it's quite formidable. They can't

78
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: run they can't run it. They can't run it, they

79
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: can't block it. Without Chase his explosiveness, there's nothing really

80
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: to fear. You're watching the game and you're going, who

81
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: out there is scary? Burrows incredibly accurate, He's great down

82
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: the sidelines. The other two receivers are really good. Neither

83
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: one of them, though, is are true one in the

84
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: way that Chase is. Chase's shot out of a cannon.

85
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean well I said, yeah, I said

86
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: when the injury happened, I thought he was a top

87
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: five offensive player in the league, other than quarterbacks. Like

88
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: if it's there, it's a short list, it's five, he's

89
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: a top five or ten. I mean it's a couple

90
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: of backs, and it's some receivers, but he's one of

91
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: them for sure. I mean the receiver position, there's Tyreek Hill,

92
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: there's Justin Jefferson, Cooper Cup and him. Those are it.

93
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: I mean, we're playing it. We have to very high

94
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: level of playing. There's a league right now that has

95
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: some unbelievably talented dudes in it. But yes, he's in that. Yeah,

96
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: And it was such an it was just so cool

97
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: to see. I think we all knew what's at stake.

98
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: We talked about it leading up to it, you know,

99
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: we we talked about the idea of hope. Hope's powerful,

100
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: and with a loss last night, hope would have been

101
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 1: gone completely. It's not anymore. You're two and one the

102
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: division and you're three and five overall. Cincinnati, by the way,

103
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: his own three indivisional play right now, which is a

104
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: huge hole to dig out of obviously, so you sit

105
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: here at two and one. Um. It was kind of

106
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: one of those things where like if you tell a kid, like,

107
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: if you do this, you will have success, but you

108
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: don't feel they don't see that success right away. In

109
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 1: order for them to continue to have buy in to

110
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: the process that you're teaching, eventually they have to win.

111
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 1: I see this all the time in coaching. It's the

112
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: same thing here. This is the script for us to win.

113
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: It's pretty simple. That's what I said earlier this week

114
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: or last week on the show. The Ravens script is

115
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: the script. You followed it last night. You followed the

116
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: script perfectly. You just didn't have the turnover, and then

117
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: defensively you amped it up even more to have that

118
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: type of performance. And to have Miles play the way

119
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: he played, Nick Chubb play the way he played Jacoby

120
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: was awesome. Like there was just Smari was stunning. I mean,

121
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: it was just it was all of the good that

122
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: we saw in camp manifesting. Your stars showed up big,

123
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: and Miles Garrett showed up big for you in a

124
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: moment where you really needed him. You know, his tip

125
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: lead to the first turnover of the game, and that

126
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,239
Speaker 1: kind of in some ways it felt like, really set

127
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: the tone for the Cleveland Browns in this one. And

128
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: to have just that kind of a performance. To have

129
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette come out here and put up the highest

130
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: quarterback rating of his career on Monday Night football in

131
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: a must win situation against the Cincinnati Bengals, to go

132
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: seventeen two seventy eight and a touchdown was just awesome

133
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: to see. And you know he has been he was

134
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: so good. And of course he'll say, look, I gotta

135
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: clean it up. I can't. I gotta just eat the

136
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: ball on that one. We can't have the turnovers. And yes,

137
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: that is all true, but he was so good. You're

138
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: watching an offensive line that even without Wyatt Teller, you know,

139
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: yelled a froll holes great Ethan. He's been a revelation

140
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: for this team. And there are a couple of times

141
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: I noted on the broadcast where Logan Wilson was really

142
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: trying to knife in like Patrick Queen did last week

143
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: and post it would get just enough of him and

144
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: allow the plays to continue. You've got James Hudson come

145
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: in with the block of the year in my opinion,

146
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: down at the goal line, which was something that came

147
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: about in part because they on Thursday last week. But

148
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: Tonio doesn't practice done has to play left guard, and

149
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: so Hudson was being done as the extra offensive lineman

150
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: and they watched the way that he pulled in his movement.

151
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: They said, wait a second, there's there's something here. And

152
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: then you get that on the goal line and he

153
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: just annihilated that King Davis Gaither gether Davis and just

154
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: sprints off. He's flying around on the field. It was

155
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: great to watch. It was just it was a party

156
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: and it was such a relief and a release, I

157
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: think for this team and for the fans in the city.

158
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: It was awesome. It was special to be a part

159
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: of it. It was special to see and it just

160
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: shows you again, on one hand, what we're capable of.

161
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: On the other hand, why it was so frustrating that

162
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: we are still three and five when we know we

163
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: should be better. We proved it. I mean you had

164
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: Joe Buck going into this one. Kurt Warner was on

165
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: the pregame radio talking about how they thought the Bengals

166
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,719
Speaker 1: were the your third best team in the a f C,

167
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: that they're the team that could hang with the Chiefs

168
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 1: and the Bills, and we smoked them, I mean smoked them. Yeah,

169
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: it was, and it was. Um it's it's you hate

170
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: to look back, but when you have a win like

171
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: this and you play the way that you do, you

172
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: can't help but go God, it's just one. If you

173
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: just had one of those ones that were stolen out

174
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: from under you, whether it was Atlanta, the Chargers, the Jets,

175
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: any one of those games, the Ravens last week, you

176
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: win one, your four and four, your first place in

177
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: your division. If you beat Baltimore last week, your first

178
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 1: your first division right now, and instead you're three and five.

179
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: So that's the glasses half empty. The glasses have full.

180
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: Is this is what you are capable of, and you

181
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: did it without a ton of key guys. No j Oka,

182
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: no Chief, no Denzel Uh no Wyat Teller like these

183
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: are These are humans that are all gonna come back

184
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: at some point theoretically, and ones that you were gonna

185
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: be counted upon him on your ten most important players

186
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 1: on the team when the season started. Let me tell

187
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: you something right now, brother, your secondary Okay, Greg Newsom

188
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: went out there before the game. I was there three

189
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: hours before kick. The only person out on the field

190
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: is Greg Newsome with the trainers and Jeff Howard and

191
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: brand Lynch goes through his pregame thing. Yes, it's he's good.

192
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: He's gonna play. He's in a lot of discomfort with

193
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: that oblique, but he's gonna play. We don't know how

194
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: much he's gonna play. You know, maybe he will. You know,

195
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: he'll kind of rotate in and out as he can go.

196
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 1: He went out there and I'm pretty sure, as I'm

197
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: trying to look for the snap counts, but I'm pretty

198
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: sure he played every single snap on defense Force. And

199
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: if it wasn't, every single snap was looking forward to.

200
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: I don't think we have one. I can hold it.

201
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: I'll pull it up on on my on the Pro

202
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: Football Focus. But anyway, he goes out and he competes

203
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: at the level they don't even target him. He's getting

204
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: the point. Now, this is a couple of games in

205
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: a row where it's like, yeah, Greg Newsome, cool, we're

206
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: not even throwing in your direction, and they did not.

207
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: The one completion that happened his area was in his

208
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: own coverage and was just a little seven yard pass.

209
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: I think to Hayden Hurst. They don't even throw it

210
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: really in his direction anymore. Yeah. So he played forty

211
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: two out of forty three snaps. M J Emerson who

212
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: continues to impress multiple pass break He's great open field tackling.

213
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: He had uh to the two b bus I said

214
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: he played forty two snaps. How about Sea Taki Taki,

215
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: I mean leads your team thirteen tackles. He's out there

216
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: running around getting sacks constantly. Yes, not a single mis

217
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 1: tackle on his thirteen tackles. He had one of the

218
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: highest grades in the league this week. Dion Jones made

219
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: some big place. He got a sec. Greedy Williams fights

220
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: through illness, plays well, and A J. Green steps up

221
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: as he always does. He always stepped as a player

222
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: in this league. Dude, he is a play. He could

223
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: start for any teach. I mean he's in the league.

224
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: He's really impressive when he gets in there. Um and yeah,

225
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: I mean you're right, it is and and you so

226
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: you do this and you This Bengals team was high

227
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: fly and they won two games in a row. The

228
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: praise of them, I think, and for most people's view

229
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: was that their offense it was viewed through the prison

230
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: of their offense and how danger it could be that

231
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: this wasn't this isn't false bravado. They were top ten

232
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: in the league in both offense and defense. If you

233
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 1: are a team that's top ten in the league in

234
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: offense and defense, you can win the Super Bowl. They

235
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: played in the Super Bowl last year. This isn't some

236
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: fraudulent team there without a really really big weapon. But

237
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: a lot of teams play without weapons and are still

238
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: able to get it done. And it's not just that

239
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: you want it that you dominated. So this is a

240
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: blueprint now that you can that you can follow here

241
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: as this goes along. There's a couple of things that

242
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: I think this that had to be in the back

243
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: of our guy's heads. Number One, the trade deadline is today,

244
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: it's in a little less than three hours at four o'clock.

245
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: A lot of rumors about our guys have been out there.

246
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 1: So you played with that in the back of your head.

247
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: You also played in the back of your head, of

248
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: your head and into a bye week, and how what

249
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: kind of mood do you want to be in while

250
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: you had this time away. You needed this one in

251
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: a lot of ways, um let alone, what we talked

252
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: about earlier, just this notion of hope and being able

253
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: to sell that. Being three and five and being two

254
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: and one in the division and having three more games

255
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 1: before Deshaun Watson gets back there. Tricky obviously, Miami Buffalo

256
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: and Tampa Bay. But if you can have this blueprint,

257
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: you just beat a team of that caliber. Smoked smoked him,

258
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: so you can do it. You've played toe to toe

259
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: with the Chargers, you went toe to toe with the Ravens.

260
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: You have proven that you can beat anybody if you

261
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 1: play this way and there is a blueprint for it.

262
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: It's got to be clean. That's why we complain so

263
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: much that we're so heartbroken on the margin for air.

264
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: We don't have a big margin for air. But when

265
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 1: we play this way, you can beat anybody. No doubt

266
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: and and this is something that has to fuel the

267
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 1: belief amongst the guys. You know that, look, we can

268
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: do this. We can beat anybody that lines up across

269
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: from us. We're only gonna get healthier from here. Hopefully

270
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: after the Bioleb David and Joko back. Hopefully you'll have

271
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: Denzel warback. Hopefully Jok back, you know why, Teller, Hopefully

272
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: you're back at full strength as close as you can be.

273
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: And that's a nice shot in the arm for a

274
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: team that and Clowney hasn't been a pcent. I mean

275
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: that's readily apparent, but he's out there gutting it out

276
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: for his teammates. Hopefully with a week off, you know,

277
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: he can get close to it. But I loved what

278
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: I saw from this team. You know, how about this? A. J.

279
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: Green has played in his career seventeen snaps of defense.

280
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: That's basically four games. He has four turnovers, two picks

281
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: to fumble, He just finds the ball. Last year he

282
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: gave up completions in a quarterback rating of twenty one

283
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: in coverage. This year is giving up a rating of

284
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: fifty six in coverage. He is just one of those

285
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: guys that every time he gets on the field, he

286
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: makes plays. And to see these guys step up the

287
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: way they did it was awesome and and it was

288
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: also nice at one point in the second half when

289
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: you know, we knew they could not stop us, and

290
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: it allowed a second half touchdown. All year, we scored

291
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: on our first three possessions of the second half, all

292
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. They had no answer for a Mari Cooper.

293
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: They were without both of their starting corners at that point,

294
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: and it was just obvious. There was one play when

295
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: we threw the touchdown to Cooper at the floor, I said,

296
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: you know, Jim, I don't typically advocate for us throwing

297
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: the football from the four yard line, but I said,

298
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: if they're gonna put Trey Flowers an Amari Cooper man

299
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: to man again, just he will get open throw ball

300
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: next play, boom, double move him, touchdown. It was awesome.

301
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: We looked like the big brother of a team that

302
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: everybody in the league would have considered to be significantly

303
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: better than us going into that game, especially without the

304
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: principal players that you mentioned. We all have only so

305
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: many Pro Bowlers on our roster and you were without

306
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: two of them. J Ok. You know has been up

307
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: and down, but trending up certainly. And then David Joku

308
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: is on his way to a Pro Bowl this year

309
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: the way that he has been playing. Yeah, it was nice.

310
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: I'm I'm thrilled for everybody in that locker room. I'm

311
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: thrilled for all of you who were there, those of

312
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: you watched, those of you that listen. I'm thrilled for us.

313
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: Much much better, oh my god, much better show, so

314
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: much more fun. You know that we would have been

315
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: brutal the other way, so now you get a little

316
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: pure joy. Yeah, I love it, and I love the

317
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: idea of of hope and what is still out there,

318
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: because otherwise this would have had a very different tone.

319
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: Rebellions are built on a hope. Star Wars What how

320
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: did you consume the game? So I had it actually

321
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: worked out perfectly. As you know, I don't like Monday night.

322
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: I don't like Sunday night. I can do okay when

323
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: our teams play on Thursday night, um, and that it's

324
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: just a Friday. But I do not like staying up

325
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: and having to and having to be accountable all the

326
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: way from Monday night. So I don't like it traditionally. Um.

327
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: But the way that the trick or treating worked. We

328
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: were I was wrapped and done by eight and back

329
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: at the house watching. Now you had standard listen to

330
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: the pregame with you guys. Of course, then you get

331
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: into the game and I'm watching UM on primary view.

332
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: I forgot until halftime, which is great. Buck and Ackman

333
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: are awesome. I had forgotten until halftime because they promoted

334
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: promoted in their halftime that the man and cast thing

335
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: was going on, So I forgot that those guys are

336
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: doing it. So you know, it's basically what happened. As

337
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: soon as I got home, I put it on, I

338
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,479
Speaker 1: think on my cable ESPN. So I hit one and

339
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: that was it. I didn't. I stayed there and that

340
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: was it. The boys are sorting through candy and and

341
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: everything was a winner. So we get to UM. It

342
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: gets to halftime and they promote that the Manning cast

343
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: is on, and then I found the Manning cast in

344
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: the second half and we were It was comfortable for

345
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: us at half, and I felt very good about the

346
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: way the game was going, that it was gonna be

347
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: a positive outcome for us, and you and I were texting,

348
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 1: so in the second half, I watched primarily Manning cast

349
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: view of it. Um. So that was something where I

350
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: stand by what I've said before though, I think if

351
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: it's a game where you were heavily invested, it's they

352
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: don't really pay attention to the game. They have conversations

353
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: around it, especially when they have a guest. If it's

354
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 1: a two of them, then you're getting game all game.

355
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 1: But if they have a guest, then they want to

356
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: do the bits. Eli is big on the bits. He

357
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: wants to go back and and tell me about a

358
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 1: Brad Paisley. Why didn't why don't you teach Peyton how

359
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: to sing like that type of stuff like. So it's

360
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: hard on that, but one thing that is for sure

361
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: is Peyton Manning big Nick Chubb, guy, big big Nick

362
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: Chub like the more Nick Chubb, Just what are we doing?

363
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb? Nick Chubb, Nick Chubb Like, that's his whole,

364
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: the whole. Didn't think of what we were doing schematically

365
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: was he was he pleased with He was not pleased

366
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: with the reverse pass. They weren't crazy about that, as

367
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: you can imagine. Well, the idea of it was fine.

368
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: Michael Woods, he looked good by the way he runs.

369
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: He's gotten very wealthy. Looks very good. I agree, the

370
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,959
Speaker 1: execution of it wasn't great, and I'm already has admitted

371
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: that he was trying to throw the ball out of

372
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 1: bounds and well he got pressured right up. Yeah, they did,

373
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: like he you know, he if that pressure is not there,

374
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: he's probably got it and it's probably a walking score.

375
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: It was interesting. Eli has a very good handle. I

376
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: don't know where he ever played in a scheme Miller

377
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: who he would have had that was similar, or maybe

378
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: it was just common. But like a lot of times

379
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: when we like they would call out when we would

380
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 1: motion somebody, they'd go, here comes to trap play for

381
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: chub like they would say that, you know, and every

382
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,719
Speaker 1: time that's how it would work. Like they either had

383
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 1: us really well scouted or they have or he's played

384
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: in a similar system at some point. It wasn't sure

385
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: he knows when we're running the very good motion down

386
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: from the receiver as the one who sets the edge

387
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: and then you pin around it. But what we did

388
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: off of that sometimes as well as we would do

389
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: that kind of what I call short motion, and then

390
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: you play fake off of that, and he's able to

391
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: slide across and and it's a nice easy completion for

392
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: the quarterback. And Jacoby Jacoby, well, it's one of those

393
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: things too, Like he's plably the best football of his career.

394
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: It's no secret. And yeah, and it's um, you know,

395
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: he's he's really accurate, he's really smart. He's got a

396
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: great deal of confidence in Moxie. Uh. They had a

397
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: lot of fun when he was trying to jell Logan

398
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 1: Wilson off sides and said, almost got you fifty five.

399
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if you could hear that in the

400
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: radio booth, but like you could hear it audibly on

401
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 1: the telecast where he's trying to get them to draw

402
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: sides late in the aime, and Jacoby says, almost got

403
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: you fifty five. Blitz, Send the blitz, Send the blitz.

404
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: And so they thought that was pretty funny. Um. But again,

405
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: like there's it's a very casual participation in the game

406
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: when it's lops. What did they say about the because

407
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: I saw it and Jim and I were talking about

408
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: a pre snap they had run cover zero basically where

409
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: they bring seven. You can't block that four out in

410
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: coverage four against your your fourth receivers. But you can't

411
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: block because your quarterback cannot block for himself. The first

412
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: time he did a good pump fake and actually threw

413
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: a dime to Mary that Mary couldn't come up with.

414
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 1: But the second time, obviously that's where it led to

415
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: the turnover. What were they saying that? Did they say

416
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: anything that? Do you remember about that particular play because

417
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: it felt it was first half? Right? It was, yes, yes,

418
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: So I wasn't on them in the first half. I

419
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: went on them in the second half. Um, yeah, so

420
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: I didn't. Again, I forgot they were The reverse pass

421
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: was first half. I saw that they replayed it at halftime,

422
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: which allowed me to see that, so it had time

423
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: they replayed like, which I thought was interesting, Like if

424
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: you're back, if you're Bucking Aikman and everyone's watching yours

425
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden they're like, hey, here's

426
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: what you're missing on our other channel, Like everybody bail.

427
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: I know they're getting total viewers is what they're going for,

428
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: but it is I would be like, jeez, really, maybe

429
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: they just stick here because maybe we said something great

430
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: this half. So it was awesome, man, it was awesome

431
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: for everybody. There's little kids trick or treating last night

432
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,199
Speaker 1: out as Nick Chubb and I saw a bunch of

433
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: Bengals fans triper. I'm like, come on, man, like, let's

434
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: sort it out. He's leading the league, but I think

435
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 1: like seventy yards. He's got ten touchdowns rushing. He's the

436
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: first Brown to have ten touchdowns rushing through eight games

437
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: since the great Jim Brown in the nineteen fifties. I mean,

438
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: he is spectacular. Some carries less than Henry and Barkley too,

439
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: and he's got more yards than both. I said at

440
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: one point after I think it was the one after

441
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: give my room, right after he hurtled the defender, and

442
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: I just head to Jim, like, we're just so lucky

443
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: that we get to watch this guy every single week,

444
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 1: or it's not a week that goes by where he

445
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: doesn't make one run where you just go wow, whether

446
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: it's jumping over somebody, where it's running around somebody, where's

447
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: bumping in and then bouncing and then all of a

448
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 1: sudden hitting the Jets and just being gone. Guys who

449
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: think they have angles on him and he's so big

450
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: and they don't. He just he does something sensational every

451
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: single week watching Amari Cooper run routes is a master class.

452
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: The fact that we're able to still scheme him open

453
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: in a passing game this week where we really had

454
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: two threats and DPJ over fifty yards like it's automatic.

455
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: That's fine, games right down. Just an incredible job, incredible job.

456
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 1: Loved it. The other thing I would say, too, is

457
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: is if you look at this and you look at

458
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt's stats, it's like eleven carries for forty some

459
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: and it's like six catches or five catches for another thirty.

460
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: It's nothing that jumps out to and you go for

461
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: him to get back involved this week. But this is

462
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: this is the other part that I was the point

463
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 1: is gonna make because of how physical he is, the

464
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: toll that it takes on a defense. It is now

465
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: another sixteen touches of a battering ram coming at you.

466
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: So you deal with Nick Chubb for twenty some carries

467
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: and then you go, oh, thank god, twenty four is out,

468
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: and then you're dealing with who runs like the Tasmanian devil,

469
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: like he just flies and hurls into humans. It takes

470
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 1: a toll on a defense to have to deal with

471
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 1: that type of physicality every single snap there's no rest,

472
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: there's no doubt, and even if you watched at the

473
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: end of the game, I'll tell you what. Thirty is

474
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: a darn good running back. He is, but it's a

475
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 1: different It's not the violence that Kareem plays with like

476
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 1: that's he is. For sure, it's different, but it's I

477
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: think that the way that Kareem plays those two it

478
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: just it would suck to have to tackle those guys. Look,

479
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: just would be brutal. It would be a bummer if

480
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,239
Speaker 1: Kareem does get traded because I do think that in

481
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: many ways, you know, he's got that intangible but I

482
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: think that it's one of those are people say, oh

483
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: they I don't think the team could handle it. Number One,

484
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: you certainly can handle. In the running back room, Jaris Johnson.

485
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: When you watch him, he is so smooth, his visions great,

486
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: he runs with low pads, He's electric. Jerome Ford looked

487
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: great in the preseason. But I do think that there's

488
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,959
Speaker 1: a portion of this locker room that would be happy

489
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: that Kareem got to be the guy because he is

490
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,959
Speaker 1: certainly worthy of that and talented enough to do that.

491
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 1: And it's not gonna happen. While Nick Chubb's here, Nick

492
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: Chubb is He's gone after this year anyway, is right,

493
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: So why not give him an opportunity to earn the

494
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 1: kind of contract he wants to earn where he could

495
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 1: go make a difference for somebody. And so if if

496
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: the opportunity presents itself. I don't think I love Kareem Hunt.

497
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: I love Kareem Hunt is Cleveland Brown, but I also

498
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 1: no Kareem Hunt has you know, certainly paid his debt

499
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: and he deserves an opportunity to be the guy again.

500
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 1: He's in his prime. Sure, Yeah, I don't think it's

501
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 1: about if it whether whether that happens or not. I

502
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: would from the from a production standpoint, dearness has proven

503
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: that he's certainly that what what I what I worry

504
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: about a little bit with this, well not a little

505
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 1: what I legitimately worried about his Kareem is a pied piper.

506
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,919
Speaker 1: He is heart and soul engine type guy. Like he

507
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: talks all the time. He's an example guy at practice,

508
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 1: like he's a He's that type of dude in the building,

509
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: and those guys are hard to replace. Yeah, in a

510
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: football perspective, I mean again, our best players are really

511
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: quiet We've talked about this all season. By and large,

512
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: our best players are pretty quiet dudes. So if you

513
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: take him out of that, that would be something that

514
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: you'd have to deal with a little bit. But yeah,

515
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,199
Speaker 1: on the field, dearness is proof. I'll also tell you

516
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: this the Browns, just by being around in the locker

517
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: room yesterday after the game talking to some people, they

518
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 1: got a guy who is an absolute alpha leader in

519
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: Dion Jones. They all call him Debo. Had to have him.

520
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: They he is. I think he's that's like Newsome is that.

521
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 1: It feels like m j Emerson's that like there's some

522
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 1: kids that are there. They're guys that are that um.

523
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: One other note, and I don't know if I mentioned

524
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: this out, and maybe I did, you could be like

525
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 1: you already said this. I talked about John Johnson wearing

526
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: the green dot. Okay, so John Johnson wore the green

527
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,199
Speaker 1: dot this week, and in talking to the guys on

528
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: the defense, it was they loved it. He was so

529
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: good in his communication, so good in not only giving

530
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: the play but getting it given everybody like the little

531
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: bit of notes that they need on the plane. They're

532
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 1: felt like the defense felt there was a cohesion there

533
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: in the calls that we haven't seen obviously since Anthony

534
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: Walker was doing it, and so I thought that was

535
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: very helpful, and he took on a little bit of

536
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: a leadership role. I thought he was flying around. I

537
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: thought Grant flew around. Grants Grants one of the best

538
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: run defending safeties in the league. And I think ideally,

539
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 1: if the Browns had to do it over again, you

540
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: would want to pair him with a true center fielder,

541
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: you know, like Marcus Williams and Marcus Williams if you

542
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: remember the year that we sign John Johnson got franchised

543
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: by New Orleans, he ends up in Baltimore now where

544
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 1: he was very good three picks early on the season.

545
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 1: We have two guys that are kind of both closer

546
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: to the ball than true center fielders, but they're figuring

547
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 1: out how to take advantage of that and make it

548
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: work for maximum effect. And I think these last two

549
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: weeks you've seen a defense that is certainly looking good.

550
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: Speaking of trending up, trending up with yesterday's win, Tito's

551

556
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: up to because he uh, he said he he had

557
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: told the guys all week, if you get close to

558
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,479
Speaker 1: Burrow in the pocket, a lot of people go up

559
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: at the shoulder because Burrow always holds the ball by

560
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 1: his does so don't go for his shoulder, go to

561
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: the hip and talk you when he got in there?

562
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: Where did he go with the hip? Right at the hip?

563
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: And some white please like every now and then I

598
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: and our good buddy the Half joining us. How did

599
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: you take this one in half? Okay man, just as

600
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: expect it. I know everyone's calling in this morning saying, oh,

601
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: I didn't think the Browns had a chance. I did.

602
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: I knew watching this matchup that it was time for

603
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: the Browns to play it to their potential and put

604
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: away an opponent that they are better than. I know

605
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: it's hard to imagine, but without Jamaar Chase, the Browns

606
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: are a better team than the Cincinnati Bengals. And I

607
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: was so proud of those guys for them to be

608
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: able to sort of get the monkey off their back

609
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 1: a little bit and play their best game of the season.

610
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: Top to bottom. We ran the football when we needed to,

611
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: defense stepped up. We were able to rush the passer.

612
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: You did all the things that we expected to be

613
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: able to do going into the season. Last night, Monday

614
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: Night Football, the entire nation was watching. It's got to

615
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,959
Speaker 1: feel good feeling being a Browns fand to wake up

616
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: this morning, it feels glorious. Half and did you did

617
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: you watch the Manning cast or did you watch Bucking Aikman?

618
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: I watched Bucking Aikman. I I love watching the Manning cast,

619
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: but every time I try to watch it with my wife,

620
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: she's like, they're so annoying. I don't want to hear

621
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: him talk. I just want to watch the game, my wife, Yeah,

622
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: I don't know in the remote my house, So I

623
00:30:54,000 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: relegate that one. So when you are a tax because

624
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: I want to I want to get your perspective on this.

625
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: It was very clear to me that Jonah Williams, even

626
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: in his body language watching him, knew that he was

627
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: defeated before he even we snapped the ball once Y

628
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett, how number one, I know that never happened

629
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: to you, But how does somebody deal with that? And

630
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: it almost becomes a self fulfilling prophecy because he's go

631
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go on the edge. I'm gonna go on

632
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: the edge. And then watch this spin move Bam sack.

633
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: It was a master class in just one on one

634
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,959
Speaker 1: domination and there was nowhere for him to hide. It

635
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: was wild to watch. So I talked to with Miles

636
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: Garrett after the game and I was just like, hey, man,

637
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: your ability to time up the snap count, your get off.

638
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: JFF said, it's the best in the NFL by you know,

639
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: statistical analysis this season, but just watching thee he's far

640
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,959
Speaker 1: and away the best that I've seen since going against

641
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: like Aaron Donald on the inside. Uh. And what happens

642
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: is when he gets that great get off on the snap,

643
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: he gets ahead of where the attack Liz right. So

644
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: now as an offensive tackle, I'm trying to block Miles

645
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: and I feel like he's running faster than I am

646
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: and he's getting beyond me. So what I have to

647
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: do is that have to speed up my set and

648
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: naturally what happens then I started to turn my shoulders

649
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: to the sideline, which then opens myself up for an

650
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: inside move. And Miles has done such a fantastic job

651
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: working on that spin move, which is not something that

652
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: he had coming into the NFL. He has always had

653
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 1: that dip, but he didn't really have a very strong

654
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: inside spin until recent years. And I told him, I

655
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: was like, it reminds me of the nightmares I had

656
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 1: going to get stway Freeny watching you out there, because

657
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: you have to get off to get ahead of the tackle.

658
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: He opens his shoulders and then you're so quick to

659
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: spin back inside. It's such a great and devastating combination.

660
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: And for him to be able to see it over

661
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: and over again last night was was really fun for

662
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: everybody because of the productivity, but also just to see

663
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: it him. Hits Joe Burrow because when you get up

664
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 1: the field, you're actually forcing that quarterback to step up

665
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: in the pocket, which is right where you wanted to

666
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: be when you spin back to the inside. But he

667
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: said to me, he goes, yeah, they didn't switch up

668
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: the snap count. I was like, what is again? I

669
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: just kept going on once. I just kept jumping in

670
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh my god, I feel so

671
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: sorry for poor Joanah Williams and for Joe Burrow. But

672
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: like in the at the same point, I know they're

673
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: young guys, but somebody that Hull has gotta stup h

674
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: and say, hey, bro, I don't really care what's going

675
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: on with the shifts and the motions. That's nobody's problem.

676
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: If I can't block this dude, if we don't go

677
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: on a different snapcount. I mean, that is like treason

678
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 1: against your brothers to not go on anything. But what

679
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: it's just amazing when I heard that, it's a stunning revelation. Yeah,

680
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: I don't heard that. Don't tell anybody in Cincinnati. Hopefully

681
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: this radio broadcast doesn't go because we don't want him

682
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: to change it up. I just didn't believe it what

683
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: I heard that. That's wild. It's hard to wrap your

684
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: head around that they wouldn't do something too. How about

685
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: change right one time? Just throw it in up. What

686
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: you gotta do, Huff? What is it about this matchup?

687
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: You mentioned no Jamar Chase for them, We were without

688
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys too. What is it about this

689
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,760
Speaker 1: matchup that this Browns team loves so much? Because Burrows

690
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:10,919
Speaker 1: never beaten us, which is strange because he's beating about

691
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 1: everybody else. Yeah, it is a little bit strange because

692
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: there's not nothing necessarily that you can say right off

693
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: the bat, other than even going back to when I

694
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: was playing, we weren't very good against anybody, really, But

695
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: it just always seemed like we played the Bengals tough.

696
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: It seems like we just had more want to, which

697
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: is obviously something that's you know, kind of uh sony

698
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 1: chalkboard talked for old school coaches. But when you turn

699
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:37,959
Speaker 1: on the film last night, when you were watching that game,

700
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: the Browns players just wanted it more. And I don't

701
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 1: know if it's just a matter of the circumstances with

702
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,280
Speaker 1: this potentially being Kareem hunts last game and the Browns

703
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: feeling like the season was on the line, and all

704
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the coaching staffs feeling the heat, and

705
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 1: I think it was a combination of a lot of things.

706
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 1: But you know, when you do break down the matchup

707
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: a little bit, what do the Browns do really well?

708
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: They run the ball right, they add at shoe lineman,

709
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: especially within Joku being out. How many times when you're

710
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 1: in the stadium, Z did you hear the refs announced

711
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 1: number sixty five reporting is eligible? You know? Because they

712
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: just kept throwing big bodies and running the football. It

713
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 1: always seems like the Bengals, even back to when I

714
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,359
Speaker 1: was there, like they would give up. You could really

715
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: hit them in the mouth, And that's kind of been

716
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 1: there their m O for a long time, and they

717
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,879
Speaker 1: still don't do a very good job stopping the run.

718
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,919
Speaker 1: And and but the only thing the defense isn't good

719
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,439
Speaker 1: at also in addition to stopping the run, is they're

720
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 1: not very good against play action. And that just happens

721
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: to be what the problems have been really good at

722
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: for like the last decade. By the way, Hulf yes,

723
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 1: Michael Dunn was I think over twenty snaps in this game.

724
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: He was kind of really playing tight end at times,

725
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 1: and the motions they were using, and with with being

726
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: without David Njoku. But I want to go to the

727
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: two point conversion first play this year where there have

728
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: been eight offensive linemen on the field for a single snap,

729
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you what, I think we've uncovered something here.

730
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 1: I think if we ever want to do some Patrick

731
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: Ricard stuff with James Hudson, I'm all four. He comes

732
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: down the line and he absolutely annihilated a Keem Gates

733
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: of Davis and it was it was stunning to watch

734
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: and his reaction to that, the jubilation on from him

735
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: his teammates. Did you ever get to go in a

736
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: basically a jet motion like that? Huff and then just

737
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: plow somebody. I mean, that had to be so fun

738
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,439
Speaker 1: for James Hudson. You know, the first thing I thought

739
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: of is I think last year Kyle shanahanded up with

740
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 1: Trent William Williams. Pretty similar Trent Williams. Yep. I love

741
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 1: my man, James Hudson, and I'm so excited to see

742
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: the player he's turning into. But I'm not sure if

743
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: he's ever gonna be Trent Williams. Size and speed. I mean,

744
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: Trent's three thirty, he runs like a four seven and

745
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: by the way, oh, he beat the Sean Jackson in

746
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: a ten yard sprint when they were both with the

747
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: Redskins way back in the day. So the guy is

748
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:55,280
Speaker 1: pretty explosive and pretty strong, and he just absolutely devastated somebody.

749
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: I forget what game it was, but you know what happened.

750
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: They tried to run that play again. It was dude,

751
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 1: that defense weren't gonna let them get fooled twice, because

752
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: the next time that happened, the guy just cut right

753
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 1: in the hole. And that's one of the reasons I

754
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: was never too excited about the tackle traps or those

755
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: plays where you had to pull around and you're go

756
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,879
Speaker 1: in motion and you you know, you kind of catch

757
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: somebody by surprise and you smoke him the first time. Well, hey,

758
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: they're gonna be ready the next time and they're taking

759
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: those knees out and tack He kind of need those

760
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 1: ds in a long term. So once was great, two

761
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 1: times too many times. Back to the well Trent Williams

762
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 1: lest if you remember, they ran that place successfully a

763
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: couple of times, I feel like. And then in the playoffs,

764
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: his counter was going to be against the Rams where

765
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,240
Speaker 1: he was going to fake that they were running the outside,

766
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: and he gave him inside a use check and the

767
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: Rams stopped it. And I think Kyle's brain like imploded

768
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: because he had been saving that and he thought it

769
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,320
Speaker 1: was gonna work, and then it didn't work. I remember

770
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,439
Speaker 1: look on his face. He couldn't even call a play

771
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: after that. He was like it. He was like, Fried's like,

772
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: we've set this up for weeks with Trent Williams running

773
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: that motion, and then now this Hi, we're gonna go

774
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 1: backside with youth check. There's no way they can prepare

775
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:04,800
Speaker 1: for it. And they tackled him and that was the

776
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 1: end of the game for the Niners, so I guess

777
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,280
Speaker 1: it's dangerous. But James Sudson was fired up yesterday. Actually

778
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: saw him the locker room right now that I watched

779
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,240
Speaker 1: that block, and I did with give A about ten times.

780
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: It's better every time you watch it, so it really

781
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 1: go ahead, go ahead. No. I was just gonna say,

782
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: I love what James Sudson's bringing to the offensive line,

783
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: Like he's offensive lineman in general are pretty like even

784
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: keel steady guys, and I think James is also, but

785
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: he brings in emotion and a passion to that unit.

786
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: But I think sometimes it's missing a little bit. I

787
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 1: think that's one of the things that Jed needs to

788
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: get better at. It is just playing with a little emotional,

789
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,320
Speaker 1: little passion, not where you're out of control, but just

790
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: having that next gear that allows you to have enough

791
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 1: focus and energy to be able to go out and

792
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 1: play at your best every single play, which is what

793
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: takes to be great as an offensive lineman. And I

794
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,760
Speaker 1: see that in James, and I can see that infectiousness

795
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: of his energy within that whole pensive line unit when

796
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:02,800
Speaker 1: he comes in there. The passion that he plays with,

797
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 1: the joy he plays with reminds me a lot of

798
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt and that's one of the reasons I really

799
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 1: hope that Kareem doesn't get traded because he brings an

800
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: energy that I think every unit needs. That it doesn't

801
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: always have to be the guy who's the starter or

802
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: the best player, but I think you just gotta have

803
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: a little bit of that. I think James brings out

804
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: to the offensive line. It's been so fun to watch

805
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: him out there when he has got those opportunities as

806
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: a starter for Jack and now coming in with these

807
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 1: little special roles. It's just cool. It is and there

808
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 1: there is some juice to it. There's some juice to

809

Speaker 1: this season now that you get this wind as well,

839
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 1: wanted to talk to you about the notion of hope.

840
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: There was a lot in this one trade deadline, and

841
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 1: there's a lot we'll get to in a second on

842
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: that a little more than two hours. Are you buyers?

843
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: Are you? Are you sellers? Where? Where are you in

844
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: that side of things? The next thing that that's part

845
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: of this, though, too, is the hope of your season

846
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: and to be sitting there as a two and six

847
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 1: football team versus a three and five football team. It's

848
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 1: just one game, but it's a lot more than that.

849
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 1: It's so much more than that, and it's a division.

850
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 1: When it gives you an opportunity to come out of

851
00:41:58,239 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: here and get on a little bit of a run,

852
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: maybe that gets you right back into the mix and

853
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: certainly think that you can go down to Miami and

854
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: beat them. But Half, what does that do for a

855
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 1: locker room to get a win like this? Does it?

856
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: Does it instill the belief that, yes, we can do this.

857
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: When we play the way we need to play, we

858
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: can beat anybody. Because we just dominated a team that

859
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: people think is certainly it was in every power poll, right,

860
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: one of the top six teams in the NFL. Yeah,

861
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 1: builds that confidence because I think this this team, and

862
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 1: in general, as elite NFL athletes, you have a lot

863
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 1: of natural confidence. But after losing three four games in

864
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: a row, all of a sudden, you're starting to let

865
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,479
Speaker 1: the doubt creep in. Right, the things that the people

866
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:41,839
Speaker 1: on the outside are saying about you and about your team,

867
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: you can't do this, you can't do that. Well. At

868
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 1: the beginning, you're totally pushing that to the side and saying,

869
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: there's no way I believe it myself. After a while,

870
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: you start believing a little bit of it, and it

871
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: starts affecting how you play and affecting what you think

872
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: about yourself. But you go out on national television when

873
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: it's a standalone game Monday night football. That's the only

874
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 1: game in town. There's no other college games, there's no

875
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: other pro games, and this is all anybody's thinking about.

876
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 1: And you go and play the type of game you did,

877
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 1: and you answer the questions that have really popped up

878
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: at the beginning part of this season that you didn't

879
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 1: expect to be there, namely about the defense right. We

880
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:17,800
Speaker 1: thought this is gonna be one of the best defenses

881
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and they really stunk, especially at the

882
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: beginning of the season. Now they've been playing better. But

883
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:24,800
Speaker 1: to go into what the fourth quarter was a shutout

884
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: against the Bengals, uh against Joe Burrow, one of the

885
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: best quarterbacks in the NFL. I know he was out,

886
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: he was without Jamar Chase, but they still got a

887
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 1: ton of weapons. I think that builds a lot of

888
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 1: confidence in what Joe Wood was asking him to do.

889
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,720
Speaker 1: And I think the sense of urgency that the defense

890
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 1: had going into this game to play up to their

891
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: potential was real. And I don't think that was the

892
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 1: sense of urgency that they had at the beginning of

893
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 1: the season. And I think Joe Woods was putting him

894
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 1: in the positions to succeed. But the players, I think

895
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 1: a little bit, we're maybe reading their press clippings a

896
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,720
Speaker 1: little bit and not putting in the level of focus

897
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 1: that you need to be able to play at a

898
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: high level and win games like they did on Monday

899
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 1: Night Football. And so so good to see that the

900
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: coaching points that were given during the week, we're taking

901
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 1: to the field and they were able to match what

902
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: the offense did, which is play one of their best

903
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: games and also play one of the best games on defense.

904
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: And I think now that they see what they can be,

905
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,879
Speaker 1: but also what level of preparation and focus it takes

906
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,320
Speaker 1: to be there. I'm hoping that they can continue to

907
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 1: roll this through the toughest stretch of their season, which

908
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 1: is coming up right now. Half, I think you really

909
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 1: hit the nail on the head. They remember it was

910
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago prior to the Baltimore game

911
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 1: where the defense kind of called some of the guys

912
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 1: on the defense called each other out, said we're not

913
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 1: the preparation isn't what it needs to be. And well,

914
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: since then, we've turned in our best to defensive performances.

915
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 1: And I talked with m j Emerson today and uh,

916
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,320
Speaker 1: he told me. I said, because I said, what's the difference,

917
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: what's changed? And he said the preparation, he said. Everybody

918
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: challenged each other watch more film. They have a session

919
00:44:57,640 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 1: where they all coming on Fridays and try to like

920
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 1: talk about what they've seen in their film studies, from formations,

921
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 1: from tendencies and put it all together and get everybody

922
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 1: discussing it. And sometimes I think we talked about they

923
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 1: don't you don't understand that it's the lifestyle. It needs

924
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 1: to be fully to be great until you know you're

925
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 1: underachieving significantly in drawing everybody's ire. But it sounds like

926
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 1: that message has been heard and they're challenging each other.

927
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:22,399
Speaker 1: M j. Emerson said, you know, I was, I'm trying

928
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 1: to make sure every day I watch more film than

929
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: the day before, and and that's kind of his approach

930
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 1: to it. So hopefully that is a good thing. Yeah,

931
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: I think the conversation we're having about James Hudson and

932
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt kind of being the energizer, Bunny, the tone

933
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: setters in their room, even though maybe they weren't the

934
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 1: number one guy or the star in that room. I

935
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,279
Speaker 1: feel like MJ. And maybe I want to hear you

936
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 1: guys perspective. Nathan. I know you've been on him for

937
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 1: a long time, but I feel like he's that guy

938
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:53,839
Speaker 1: almost in the defensive secondary where you know he's young,

939
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,320
Speaker 1: he's gonna make some mistakes, but everything he's gonna do,

940
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 1: if it's a mistake, it's done harms an hour. He's

941
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 1: that physical corner. He's up in your face. He enjoys

942
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:04,919
Speaker 1: when the other team tries to challenge him. It brings

943
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 1: out the best in him. And I definitely see him

944
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 1: kind of developing into one of those leaders in the secondary.

945
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 1: And I think, I mean, he certainly has already proven

946
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 1: to be a steel in the third round. But it's

947
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 1: fun watching how his impact as an emotional leader is

948
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: being sought on that defensive side of the football. It's

949
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:26,799
Speaker 1: him and it's Greg Newsome. And i'd say even Greg

950
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 1: Newsom maybe even above M. James terms of his leadership,

951
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: and because he's a little more vocal I think at

952
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:34,800
Speaker 1: this point right now than than an M. J Emerson.

953
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 1: But you know Greg yesterday and this is the kind

954
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: of stuff that you know, people don't notice, so I'll

955
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: bring light to it. You know, I was saying earlier

956
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 1: on the show, how I was there three hours for

957
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 1: He's working out with the trainers. He's got an oblique

958
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,800
Speaker 1: injury that that was aggravated in practice. He was in

959
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 1: a lot of pain. They didn't know how much he

960
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 1: was gonna play. You know, they knew he'd play, but

961
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 1: it was gonna be sparingly. They're gonna try to use

962
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 1: them situationally. Well, he went out there and played every

963
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:58,800
Speaker 1: single defensive snap because that's the kind of guy. And

964
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: I asked him, I said, I that you were after

965
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:02,919
Speaker 1: the game, I go, I thought you were gonna only play,

966
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 1: you know a little bit, And he goes and I said,

967
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 1: and then you go out there and you didn't come

968
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 1: off the field, goes, I couldn't come off the field

969
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 1: like I had to be out there. And that, to me,

970
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:14,359
Speaker 1: that's the kind of guy that has an opportunity I think,

971
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 1: to show a lot of even though he's a young

972
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:17,799
Speaker 1: guy himself, show these guys the way. And I think

973
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:21,399
Speaker 1: the combination of him and MJ in that room is very,

974
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,279
Speaker 1: very very exciting, and they both do it and care

975
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 1: deeply about competing. Look, this is how if you go

976
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: back to a couple of weeks ago when John Johnson

977
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 1: and you think about Batonio, I mean, that's this is

978
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 1: that manifesting. And that's why I thought that this this

979
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 1: win was so important, right because there's some habits that

980
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: had changed. This was a clean game out of us,

981
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:45,840
Speaker 1: something that we hadn't played previous to that. So it

982
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 1: was really critical that you get a result. It's just

983
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 1: like with anything, if you do all these right things,

984
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,360
Speaker 1: you make these improvements, you have to see results in it,

985
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 1: otherwise you question everything. So to me, this was as

986
00:47:57,239 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 1: as disappointing or as as brutal as like the Patriots

987
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: loss was. This was that the other way for me. Yeah,

988
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,240
Speaker 1: I agree because the one win and the wind column.

989
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 1: That's huge obviously because of the division race and where

990
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 1: you want to put yourself within the next three weeks.

991
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 1: When Nashan comes back for that Houston game, I mean,

992
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: they're right in there. I know there are two games behind,

993
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:21,400
Speaker 1: but there's a lot of games in the a f

994
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 1: C North that are left to be played, and there's

995
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 1: no way that anybody should be saying anything but hey,

996
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 1: you can still win this division and we can make

997
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 1: the playoffs and everything we want is still right there. Um.

998
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:35,800
Speaker 1: And so I think for this game, though, like I mentioned,

999
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 1: it's more than just the one win because of the

1000
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 1: changes that have happened in that building from the preparation

1001
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 1: and focus standpoint in the last couple of weeks to

1002
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 1: be able to see the stark difference of hey, when

1003
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 1: we let this become who we are in our preparation

1004
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:51,800
Speaker 1: and our focus and the only thing that matters in

1005
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 1: our life, this is a result we get when we

1006
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 1: take a seriousness level of this is college football, this

1007
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 1: is what I do in my spare time. These are

1008
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 1: the results we get, and this is how it feels.

1009
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, we're willing to have the

1010
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 1: sacrifice we have to make during the weekend on Sundays

1011
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:09,760
Speaker 1: to feel like we do Sunday night and then Monday

1012
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 1: and Tuesday before we get back to work on Wednesday,

1013
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 1: because it feels so good. And by the way, it's

1014
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 1: our job. This is the expectations, this is the potential,

1015
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:20,839
Speaker 1: this is what we can be. And so I think

1016
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 1: having that that pelt on the wall now that they

1017
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 1: can put up there after this game and say, hey,

1018
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:28,959
Speaker 1: that extra preparation that you guys put in a little

1019
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 1: extra hour, it really didn't cost you much in the

1020
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 1: grand scheme of things, but it gave you a lot.

1021
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 1: Look where we are, Look where we're headed. Look how

1022

1047
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 1: on Cleveland Brown's Daily on a Victory Tuesday edition of

1048
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 1: the program. Hey, let's get everybody updated on what's happened

1049
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:21,439
Speaker 1: today in the NFL from a trade standpoint, because there's

1050
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 1: been a lot. We had the ro Kuan Smith deal

1051
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 1: yesterday to the Ravens, and then this morning we've had

1052
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 1: t J. Hockenson dealt from the Lions to the I

1053
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 1: almost said the Packers that would actually make probably some sense.

1054
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: Instead it goes to Minnesota, so they look that they're

1055
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 1: adding to that. And then we did have one in

1056
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 1: the division today as Clay Chase Claypool here in the

1057
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 1: last hour uh is traded for a second round pick

1058
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 1: to Chicago and it's the Bears second round. Correct, it

1059
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 1: is not the pick they just got from the Ravens.

1060
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:53,919
Speaker 1: So this will be a likely a decent high first

1061
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:58,799
Speaker 1: round pick that will go to Chicago from Pittsburgh. Half.

1062
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 1: When you here's first, there's a lot happ We've already

1063
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: had McCaffrey, We've had Robert Quinn. We've had a ton

1064
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 1: of deals and it sounds like there could be even more.

1065
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 1: I love this what do you make of some of

1066
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 1: these deals that have taken place already around the league. Well,

1067
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:14,319
Speaker 1: I think it's good. It's a big reflection of kind

1068
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 1: of what people think about the NFL today at the

1069
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 1: Barbell League. And what I mean by that is, if

1070
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:22,439
Speaker 1: you have a quarterback and you've got a good team

1071
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 1: put together, you should put your resources in that basket

1072
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 1: because you can win a championship. And if you don't,

1073
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 1: you better be saving your resources for the future, because

1074
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 1: being eight and nine and seven and ten, all that

1075
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 1: does is just make you stuck in purgatory forever. Because

1076
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 1: when you're not good enough at quarterback to be able

1077
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 1: to go win a championship, you might as well be

1078
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 1: bad enough to go find one in the draft, because

1079
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 1: if you're drafted in the middle or in the late

1080
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:49,799
Speaker 1: in the first round, you're gonna be toasts and you'll

1081
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 1: never be able to get out of that purgatory of

1082
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 1: being in the middle. And so I like these teams

1083
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 1: that realize that we got a chance, let's make a run.

1084
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:58,879
Speaker 1: Let's go find the players right away, those future draft picks,

1085
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 1: and let's go do it. And if you're a team

1086
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 1: like the Bears and you're saying, look, we're not gonna

1087
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 1: be able to do it for a couple of years. Hey,

1088
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 1: let's trade some of these assets we have, try to

1089
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 1: get some draft picks and try to win in the

1090
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 1: future rather than just trying to win enough to save

1091
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:14,840
Speaker 1: the quarterback or save the head coach and the coordinator's jobs,

1092
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,359
Speaker 1: which that's what the NFL was for a long time.

1093
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:18,719
Speaker 1: When I got there, I was like, hey, we've just

1094
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:20,439
Speaker 1: got to get to five hundred. We can save the jobs,

1095
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:24,479
Speaker 1: put asses in seats, and uh, you know, everyone's happy.

1096
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 1: But I think it's good that fans are not happy anymore.

1097
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 1: They're not satisfied with five. They want to win championships.

1098
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 1: So that's great. I think that's just up the competitiveness

1099
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 1: and the interest in every single game, the idea. And

1100
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: it sucks that the Steilers are gonna benefit from this,

1101
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:41,760
Speaker 1: but they did that. They are getting the Bears second

1102
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:44,279
Speaker 1: round pick for Chase Claypool for a year and a

1103
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,240
Speaker 1: half of Chase a year and a half of Chase Claypool,

1104
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:50,320
Speaker 1: and we gave a fifth for Amori Cooper to Dallas.

1105
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:57,880
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? It's wild and half. I mean,

1106
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:01,719
Speaker 1: another master class. Last night. I was just saying repeatedly.

1107
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 1: Once they lost Shdobi a Woozier, Trey Flower's Dax Hill,

1108
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 1: they were just no match. It was it almost was unfair.

1109
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:10,879
Speaker 1: It was like Madden. You had a one on one

1110
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 1: where your guy was a ninety nine and the corner

1111
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:15,400
Speaker 1: you're playing was a sixty two and you were just

1112
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:18,800
Speaker 1: going to do whatever you wanted, and that's what happened. Again,

1113
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,919
Speaker 1: he has been just sensational. He's scored, by the way,

1114
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 1: in all five games at First Energy Stadium and in

1115
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 1: eight straight home games dating back to his time with Dallas.

1116
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:30,319
Speaker 1: So Marie Cooper loves the home cooking. We gotta figure

1117
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:32,239
Speaker 1: out a way to to trick him on the road

1118
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:35,240
Speaker 1: into thinking he's at going to First Energy Stadium somehow.

1119
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 1: By the way, I really I just said about the

1120
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 1: Bears made sense with the Roquan Smith trade until you

1121
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 1: mentioned that they just traded for Chase Claypool. That makes

1122
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 1: no sense to me, especially the conversation. I was not

1123
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 1: up to Steve coming into the show that Chase Claypool

1124
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:54,479
Speaker 1: just got traded for around pick and he's only gotta

1125
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:59,800
Speaker 1: hear a half. What does that? And like Pittsburgh t

1126
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 1: to me, they get rid of the doule. Oh my god,

1127
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:06,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a great pick. And then my guess

1128
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:08,919
Speaker 1: is from Chicago's perspective, they're like, we have to give

1129
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:11,440
Speaker 1: him something to throw to because he's looked good the

1130
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:13,360
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. He looks like the best quarterback

1131
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:15,920
Speaker 1: in the class right now and he's got nothing. So

1132
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 1: maybe they and this will be the best quarterback that

1133
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:20,400
Speaker 1: you know that he's played with two From Claypool standpoint,

1134
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 1: Ben is so wounded, so maybe there's maybe there's that,

1135
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 1: But it's I got to imagine where you are. People

1136
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 1: are going, Are we gonna do anything here to packers

1137
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:30,879
Speaker 1: or not? What is there? Nothing? They're just gonna sit

1138
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 1: back on this. There's so much frustration, and I almost

1139
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 1: feel like it's moved into the apathy world because the

1140
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 1: Packers have just been so inept at bringing in receivers

1141
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:44,120
Speaker 1: for so long and making moves that you would assume

1142
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 1: you want to do when you have one of the

1143
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 1: best quarterbacks of all time, that I think people are

1144
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:52,719
Speaker 1: just reserve. Uh a kid, because the word design it's

1145
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:56,240
Speaker 1: all reserved. To resign. That's the one resign I resigned.

1146
00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:59,759
Speaker 1: Resigned to the fact that the Packers just aren't gonna

1147
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:02,600
Speaker 1: make any moves and they're just happy being mediocre. It's

1148
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:05,040
Speaker 1: a frustration for me. I'm not even a Packer fan anymore,

1149
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:07,280
Speaker 1: but I'm like, dude, I want to see Aaron Rodgers

1150
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:08,960
Speaker 1: have a chance to be at his best and do

1151
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:11,879
Speaker 1: fabulous things in the last couple of years of his career,

1152
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:14,560
Speaker 1: rather than throwing to a bunch of no name bombs

1153
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 1: that they've just drafted and that the camera on the

1154
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 1: right routes that Aaron Rodgers is saying, we need to

1155
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:21,800
Speaker 1: bench these guys and put somebody else in there. I

1156
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:24,319
Speaker 1: just don't understand why they wouldn't make an effort. They

1157
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:26,880
Speaker 1: paid Aaron Rodgers in the off season, so let's make

1158
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 1: an effort to give him a few receivers that give

1159
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:33,800
Speaker 1: us an opportunity to go be great. I think what

1160
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:39,240
Speaker 1: people are realizing that when the Vikings traded Stefon Diggs

1161
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 1: and then drafted Justin Jefferson, that's a lot easier said

1162
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 1: than done. That's a unicorn. That was one of one.

1163
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 1: That you traded a superstar and draft draft of the superstar.

1164
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:52,959
Speaker 1: That doesn't happen. But I think the Packers thought, Okay,

1165
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:55,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna replace Stavante Adams in this draft. We got

1166
00:56:55,640 --> 00:57:00,879
Speaker 1: Aaron gonna make everybody better. I think that the Titans thought, sure,

1167
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:02,919
Speaker 1: we'll let A J. Brown go, We're just gonna draft

1168
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: Traylon Brooks. Has Raylon Brooks caught a pass this, I

1169
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 1: don't know anything that he's a Now they're winning, but

1170
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:10,839
Speaker 1: not certainly he was hurt, but I don't They haven't

1171
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:14,160
Speaker 1: done nothing not with him. It just isn't that easy

1172
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 1: to just go out and to replace these guys that

1173
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 1: are truly game changers. And I think that they overestimated that.

1174
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 1: I also think ayahuasca and I also think that Aaron

1175
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 1: Rodgers and half are people taught saying this in all

1176
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin. It just feels like what I watched him,

1177
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 1: he's kind of being like, to hack with it. You're

1178
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:33,840
Speaker 1: gonna make me play these guys. I'm just gonna check

1179
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 1: the ball down. I don't really care on board. You're right.

1180
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 1: I think one of the things that we hear people

1181
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 1: talking about had Aaron Rodgers is worried about protecting his

1182
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:50,280
Speaker 1: completion percentage in his uh touchdown interception race. So ratio

1183
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 1: because I think it's one of the best of all time,

1184
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 1: and so he's worried about throwing picks, and so he's like, well,

1185
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 1: if you don't give me the receivers, then I'm just

1186
00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 1: gonna check it down. Just keep completing these three, four

1187
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:01,960
Speaker 1: or five yard passes. I don't really care if we

1188
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:06,680
Speaker 1: win or not. But I'm not putting my statistical history,

1189
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 1: my hall of fame resume on the line for this team.

1190
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 1: Which man talk about a bad leader, talk about somebody

1191
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 1: that you don't watch in your role as the most

1192
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 1: important person in your Franchise's basically just said, hey, I

1193
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:21,560
Speaker 1: give up on all of you guys, and I'm just

1194
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:27,439
Speaker 1: gonna protect me moving forward. So it's that's the whole

1195
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 1: thing is. And I think, what, what's what's happened in

1196
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 1: the league, And there's a couple of things. Half brings

1197
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 1: up the great point of I think fans for an

1198
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 1: office is everybody they're they're more open to. It's the

1199
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:41,560
Speaker 1: ricky Bobby. If you ain't first, your last. There there

1200
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 1: used to be this time where there was constantly this

1201
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 1: worry of trying to, hey, let's make the playoffs. Well,

1202
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 1: nobody wants to do that anymore. They want to win

1203
00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. So you see a team like Minnesota

1204
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 1: and you say, you know what if we get cousins

1205
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:56,760
Speaker 1: enough weapons in an NFC that is wide open. I mean,

1206
00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 1: Philly has played nobody. They're really good. I don't want

1207
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 1: to take an anything way from they played absolutely nobody

1208
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:03,840
Speaker 1: so far in the schedule. They don't play anybody for

1209
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:05,960
Speaker 1: the next four weeks either. They're very likely going to

1210
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:08,080
Speaker 1: be eleven and oh, you saw what the forty Niners

1211
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:10,840
Speaker 1: did with McCaffrey. There are teams look around the NFC going, hey,

1212
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 1: we might us too, we might be a player two away.

1213
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:15,840
Speaker 1: And I think that's what's leading this. I think you're

1214
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 1: seeing a team like Baltimore thro Kuan Smith saying, hey,

1215
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 1: we've got Lamar under deal right now, the Bills and

1216
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are there. We gotta we gotta load it up.

1217
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:27,320
Speaker 1: What do we need to beat these teams? And you're

1218
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:29,200
Speaker 1: seeing it, and you're seeing people more open to do it.

1219
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:31,920
Speaker 1: I love it, huff, I absolutely love it. I think

1220
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 1: it's exciting. I think the next couple of hours are

1221
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 1: gonna be really fun. I think it's amazing. It's great

1222
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 1: for the sport. It gets us as fans to be

1223
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 1: locked in and glued in on it Tuesday afternoon. Uh.

1224
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:48,760
Speaker 1: And it's the way it should be. Like, the expectations

1225
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 1: for a team shouldn't be just to be average or

1226
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 1: just be good enough to sell tickets and keep people interested.

1227
00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:57,040
Speaker 1: Like we fans, you want to win a championship. I'm

1228
00:59:57,080 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 1: not happy with being eight nine or nine and eight

1229
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:02,160
Speaker 1: or just make in the playoffs. Trust me, it's great

1230
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 1: going from where we were to win win in a

1231
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 1: playoff game a couple of years ago. But you play

1232
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 1: to win the game. Guys, we want a super Bowl

1233
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 1: in Cleveland. That's why you do it. So if you

1234
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 1: can't win a super Bowl, then trade away some dudes

1235
01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:15,600
Speaker 1: and find a way to win a super Bowl next

1236
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:19,400
Speaker 1: year or the following year. Sources Cornetian Rapport, Steelers aren't

1237
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:22,160
Speaker 1: done finalizing a trade that will bring them Commanders cornerback

1238
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:25,160
Speaker 1: Will Jackson the third some help for their defense. Their

1239
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 1: corners have been dreadful this year. Interesting that that that

1240
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:31,920
Speaker 1: they're making a buy. I don't think it's gonna be expensive.

1241
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 1: There was the word earlier today that Jackson was gonna

1242
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 1: be cut if there wasn't a trade suitor found and

1243
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 1: found for him. So I can't imagine the price tag

1244
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:41,000
Speaker 1: will be high there, but we've got another trade right there.

1245
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 1: Josina Anderson on the Claypool deal. Uh, last week. From

1246
01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:45,800
Speaker 1: what I'm hearing been hearing over the last week, the

1247
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:48,160
Speaker 1: Seelers moved on from what they felt was a distraction

1248
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:51,120
Speaker 1: behind the scenes in Claypool. It's been on the table

1249
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:53,880
Speaker 1: for at least two weeks, and they were happy to

1250
01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:55,880
Speaker 1: be able to unload. And they got an absolute hall

1251
01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:58,640
Speaker 1: for a guy that hasn't been all that impressive. To

1252
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:01,160
Speaker 1: be perfectly honest with you, stand the Chicago So I

1253
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 1: understand the thinking, like you want to get help. I

1254
01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:06,680
Speaker 1: get it, But jeez, that's a big gifts, a big

1255
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 1: gift draft them. You're gonna drafted two second round receivers

1256
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:14,640
Speaker 1: next year, Yeah, and Adam for four years. It's that's

1257
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:17,400
Speaker 1: what's that thing? To me? Is that is that's crazy?

1258
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:20,080
Speaker 1: I kind of like this trade deadline. Hof Speaking of

1259
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:23,680
Speaker 1: you and the trade deadline, do you recall your dalliance

1260
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:25,280
Speaker 1: with that? It was that something where you had a

1261
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:27,439
Speaker 1: lot of time to contemplate it or was it something

1262
01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:29,120
Speaker 1: brought to you kind of in the eleventh hour? Do

1263
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:31,520
Speaker 1: you want to go to Denver? How did that kind

1264
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:34,160
Speaker 1: of go down, and as a player, you were given

1265
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:36,760
Speaker 1: the respect. Ultimately you had the opportunity to say yay

1266
01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 1: or nay. But how does that kind of go down

1267
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:42,000
Speaker 1: from a player's perspective? And was your situation unique in

1268
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:45,000
Speaker 1: that regard? I think as a player, because you're so

1269
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 1: dial into the business of the season that you don't

1270
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:51,160
Speaker 1: really have time to think about the whole trade deadline

1271
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:53,960
Speaker 1: stuff all that much. But you do meet with the

1272
01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:57,240
Speaker 1: media almost every day, and when your name is constantly

1273
01:01:57,360 --> 01:02:00,400
Speaker 1: swirling with trade rumors, you're gonna get out about it,

1274
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:02,560
Speaker 1: right because that's the big story, especially during the week

1275
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 1: for an offensive linement. So getting asked about it, then

1276
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:06,520
Speaker 1: you have to think about it, how you're gonna respond

1277
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:09,560
Speaker 1: and um. Then of course I would have conversations with

1278
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:12,120
Speaker 1: my agent like, Hey, if I'm getting asked on a Tuesday, like,

1279
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:13,760
Speaker 1: what do you think about you know, the rumors are

1280
01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:16,240
Speaker 1: that Denver's offered this or that? And then I would

1281
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:18,160
Speaker 1: I would ask my agent be like, hey, can you

1282
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 1: find out like what the real story is? What's the

1283
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:22,600
Speaker 1: real scoop? Like it's Denver really interested? What have they

1284
01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 1: really offered? Like what's going on? Should I be worried

1285
01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 1: about this there is. It's not gonna happen, you know,

1286
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:28,760
Speaker 1: And for the most ready did a good job of

1287
01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:32,840
Speaker 1: just kind of putting it off my plate and saying, hey,

1288
01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 1: don't worry about it, It'll take care of itself. And

1289
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:37,920
Speaker 1: if it happens, it happens. It's a great situation. It's

1290
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:41,640
Speaker 1: not like they're trying to unload you to purgatory because

1291
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:44,040
Speaker 1: they're piste off at you. If anything, they're holding on

1292
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:46,600
Speaker 1: you because they love you and they don't want to

1293
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:49,880
Speaker 1: give you up. Um. And even if you poop on

1294
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:53,439
Speaker 1: Ray Farmer's desk like Payton Manning wanted you to, they're

1295
01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 1: probably not gonna get rid of it because they really

1296
01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:57,920
Speaker 1: enjoy it you having you around and they want you

1297
01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:00,720
Speaker 1: to be part of the future. Um. So it's good

1298
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 1: to have that feeling of another team flirting with you,

1299
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:06,440
Speaker 1: especially when they are, you know, talking about trading some

1300
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:10,600
Speaker 1: significant draft capital. But I think in the end, having

1301
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:12,760
Speaker 1: the trade deadline right now where it is is good

1302
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:15,480
Speaker 1: for the player because it is a big distraction. Like

1303
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 1: I can't imagine for a guy like Kareem Hunt to

1304
01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 1: weekend and week out for the last several weeks to

1305
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:22,560
Speaker 1: have that on his mind. Like where am I going

1306
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:24,320
Speaker 1: to be? And for a guy like me that I

1307
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:26,360
Speaker 1: was never cut or traded and I played my whole

1308
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:28,720
Speaker 1: career in Cleveland, never had to worry about any of

1309
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 1: that stuff, like the times that it was on my

1310
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:35,080
Speaker 1: mind briefly, like it was a lot to handle emotionally,

1311
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:37,320
Speaker 1: just wondering, Hey, am I going to be suiting up

1312
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 1: in the promcos helmet next week? Am I gonna have

1313
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:41,480
Speaker 1: to move my whole family and my pregnant wife? Like

1314
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:43,440
Speaker 1: the Denver? Do we have to buy a house? Like

1315
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:45,880
Speaker 1: all those things. When you're a single guy, it's probably

1316
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:47,320
Speaker 1: not a big deal, but when you have a family

1317
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 1: and this affects all of them, like it becomes something

1318
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 1: that weighs on you heavily, especially as as the husband

1319
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:54,720
Speaker 1: of the father in the house who makes a lot

1320
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:58,760
Speaker 1: of those decisions. Typically, I'm we're we are thrilled that

1321
01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:01,760
Speaker 1: that never happened, that you only played here. But I

1322
01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 1: would have also have loved to have heard the stories

1323
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:08,320
Speaker 1: of your big brain and Peyton Manning Rain together talking

1324
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:12,480
Speaker 1: ball like that would have been a stunning thing to

1325
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,640
Speaker 1: hear His approach to quarterback and your approach to tackle

1326
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:18,520
Speaker 1: would have been amazing. He would have been the Manning

1327
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:20,560
Speaker 1: cast would have been Peyton Eli in the hof A

1328
01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:26,960
Speaker 1: you gone to Denver. I think that's probably true. Yeah,

1329
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:32,080
Speaker 1: that part of it. It was him at the Pro Bowl. Yeah, thanks,

1330
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:35,520
Speaker 1: Just just the Pro Bowl was fun. Just picking his brain,

1331
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:38,800
Speaker 1: hearing him talk, seeing the defense like that was one

1332
01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:40,560
Speaker 1: of the benefits of playing with all his quarterbacks. You

1333
01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 1: get to play with guys like Joshua Town and Bryan

1334
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:44,160
Speaker 1: or who played a lot of different places, and you

1335
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:47,640
Speaker 1: can kind of pick up on what they're thinking about

1336
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:50,560
Speaker 1: and how they see the defense. But paying is a

1337
01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:53,040
Speaker 1: different levels. That would have been a different level of

1338
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 1: enjoyment just sitting at meeting. So thanks for having me on, guys.

01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:36,640
Speaker 1: have thought that he would want to be part of

1369
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:42,040
Speaker 1: the structure they're going forward. Yeah, that you would want

1370
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:44,400
Speaker 1: to build around him and some of the DeAndre Swift

1371
01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:47,800
Speaker 1: and some of their talent Jamison Williams, armorand st Brown.

1372
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:50,480
Speaker 1: But not so they go in a different way there. Um.

1373
01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:52,680
Speaker 1: And then the theft of the Steelers, I mean they

1374
01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:54,240
Speaker 1: it's a heck of a steel They get an early

1375
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:57,760
Speaker 1: second round pick for Chase Claypool. Um. I understand the

1376
01:06:57,800 --> 01:07:00,560
Speaker 1: Bears perspective. You want to give Justin Field somebody to

1377
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:03,680
Speaker 1: throw to and he's a big target. They don't have

1378
01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:06,280
Speaker 1: anybody like it. Um So I understand that, but it's

1379
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:08,680
Speaker 1: a good get back for Pittsburgh. I also think Pittsburgh's

1380
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:11,400
Speaker 1: wrapping their head around the fact that they are in rebuild.

1381
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:13,880
Speaker 1: They never wanted to say it out loud, but that's

1382
01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:16,520
Speaker 1: where they are. That's where they are with those quarterbacks. Um.

1383
01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:19,280
Speaker 1: I would imagine everything's on the table for them. If

1384
01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:21,280
Speaker 1: you know new general manager there, I think you rethink

1385
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:24,720
Speaker 1: everything and and if there's other guys who can be moved,

1386
01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:26,520
Speaker 1: you move them. That's probably the way that this whole

1387
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:29,560
Speaker 1: thing goes in terms of what our thinking is. Let's

1388
01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:33,200
Speaker 1: go to the podium. Here's Kevin Stefanski and acknowledge the

1389
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:37,560
Speaker 1: very tragic passing of Adam Zimmer. Adam was something that

1390
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:41,680
Speaker 1: I got to work with UM together in Minnesota. Just

1391
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:46,480
Speaker 1: a tragic, tragic UH situation there. So my thoughts, my

1392
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:50,600
Speaker 1: prayers are with the Zimmer family. UM, it's just it's

1393
01:07:50,640 --> 01:07:53,960
Speaker 1: it's tough, really really good person, really good coach. So

1394
01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:59,800
Speaker 1: just a tough news for everybody. UM. With the game,

1395
01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:02,880
Speaker 1: you know, we talked about it last night and I

1396
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:05,440
Speaker 1: guess it was maybe close to this morning, but UM,

1397
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:10,120
Speaker 1: really some great efforts by the guys, and an emphasis

1398
01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:13,000
Speaker 1: on the word effort. I thought the guys were flying around,

1399
01:08:13,520 --> 01:08:16,719
Speaker 1: playing for each other, picking each other up off the ground,

1400
01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:20,200
Speaker 1: pushing each other and and and it was just it

1401
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:25,360
Speaker 1: was a night where kind of offense, defense, special teams

1402
01:08:25,400 --> 01:08:29,479
Speaker 1: playing complimentary ball at times, so never perfect. Always things

1403
01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:31,120
Speaker 1: that that I want to do better, that we want

1404
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:34,200
Speaker 1: to do better, UM, but and we'll have those opportunities.

1405
01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:36,280
Speaker 1: So we're meeting on it right now. Players are in

1406
01:08:36,320 --> 01:08:38,800
Speaker 1: their meetings right now, wrapping up with their coaches, and

1407
01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:42,240
Speaker 1: then they'll go for the fresh make sure that they

1408
01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:47,360
Speaker 1: recharge and get ready for uh the next week. But

1409
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:50,880
Speaker 1: I got to treat this by week, um the right way,

1410
01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:53,439
Speaker 1: and that is, you know, making sure that we're taking

1411
01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:55,439
Speaker 1: care of each other, taking care of our bodies, those

1412
01:08:55,479 --> 01:08:58,479
Speaker 1: type of things. But I really have to recharge and

1413
01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:02,000
Speaker 1: with that I will take any questions coach. The first

1414
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:06,679
Speaker 1: one will be from Tom Mothers. Thanks Rob. Thanks coach.

1415
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:09,439
Speaker 1: First of all, very sorry for your loss. That's it's terrible.

1416
01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:11,800
Speaker 1: Um hey, as you guys try to get to the

1417
01:09:11,840 --> 01:09:14,040
Speaker 1: other side of heart. Has been has been mentioned a

1418
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:16,760
Speaker 1: few times. Jacoby last night was talking about the play

1419
01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:19,200
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago where he made the bad decision

1420
01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:22,280
Speaker 1: against the Chargers, and last night, in a similar spot

1421
01:09:22,520 --> 01:09:25,160
Speaker 1: he did the He did the right thing maybe other

1422
01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:28,080
Speaker 1: than extending the ball at the goal line. Um. How

1423
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:31,360
Speaker 1: indicative of that, Kevin, is just your team as a whole,

1424
01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:34,000
Speaker 1: that guys are kind of cleaning up their mistakes and

1425
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:37,439
Speaker 1: and learning and not making them again. Yeah, I think

1426
01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:40,920
Speaker 1: you're right time. I think these games are are one

1427
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:44,920
Speaker 1: game seasons, as you know. But you also, you're trying

1428
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:47,439
Speaker 1: to get better. You're making mistakes so that you can

1429
01:09:47,479 --> 01:09:49,920
Speaker 1: correct them and not make them the next time. And

1430
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:53,600
Speaker 1: and the season has its ups, has its downs. But

1431
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:56,519
Speaker 1: we get all that. But but we are so focused

1432
01:09:57,000 --> 01:10:00,880
Speaker 1: on the moment. And last night what was saw our

1433
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:03,560
Speaker 1: team very very focused in the moment making sure that

1434
01:10:04,439 --> 01:10:06,559
Speaker 1: we're gonna do anything in our power to come away

1435
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:08,840
Speaker 1: with victory. And that's really that has to be your

1436
01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:12,479
Speaker 1: mindset every game. Uh, And that's that's what the NFL requires.

1437
01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:15,360
Speaker 1: If I could sneak in a quick injury update, anything

1438
01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:19,760
Speaker 1: new on Denzel and then what about David Wyatt and

1439
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:23,679
Speaker 1: Jeremiah in terms of them coming back out off the break, Yeah,

1440
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:27,120
Speaker 1: nothing new to add with Denzel and all those guys,

1441
01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:29,920
Speaker 1: I would tell you are progressing. Uh, They're they're all

1442
01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:32,640
Speaker 1: heading in the right direction. Again. The bye week is

1443
01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:36,559
Speaker 1: helpful that they can, uh, you know, use these extra days.

1444
01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:40,360
Speaker 1: But but all progressing and I'm hopeful on those guys.

1445
01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:45,840
Speaker 1: Next up is Mary Kay Kevitt. Yeah, Kevin even in

1446
01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:48,760
Speaker 1: seeing like the trade of Chase Claypool today and you know,

1447
01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:51,120
Speaker 1: and what he got in and what they got in

1448
01:10:51,200 --> 01:10:54,840
Speaker 1: exchange for for Chase and just wanted to ask you

1449
01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:56,880
Speaker 1: again a little bit of a follow up on Amari

1450
01:10:56,920 --> 01:10:59,280
Speaker 1: Cooper and what has he meant to you guys, and

1451
01:10:59,360 --> 01:11:02,479
Speaker 1: how fortunate it were you to be able to land

1452
01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:04,840
Speaker 1: him the way that you did and what he's been

1453
01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:09,120
Speaker 1: able to contribute. Yeah, I can't speak to that. I

1454
01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:11,160
Speaker 1: was not aware of that one Americ Kay, I just

1455
01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:13,320
Speaker 1: got out a meeting. So I'm sure you guys know

1456
01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:16,920
Speaker 1: what's going on around the league. But for us, you know, Coope,

1457
01:11:18,040 --> 01:11:19,680
Speaker 1: he's a big part of what we do, and I

1458
01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:20,920
Speaker 1: think he's a big part of what we do on

1459
01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:22,519
Speaker 1: the field. He's a big part of who we are

1460
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:26,640
Speaker 1: UM in this building, on the practice field. I just

1461
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:31,200
Speaker 1: I enjoy watching Amri work. I enjoy watching him and

1462
01:11:31,240 --> 01:11:33,920
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks work together and rhythm up and talk about

1463
01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:38,720
Speaker 1: different routes. And he's a consummate professional, UM and and

1464
01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:42,639
Speaker 1: he's really he's a talented football player for his size,

1465
01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:45,280
Speaker 1: the way he's able to come in and out of breaks,

1466
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:49,040
Speaker 1: he wins downfield, can obviously win at the last scrimmage,

1467
01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:52,280
Speaker 1: tracks the ball well, so, uh, you know, I really

1468
01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:56,519
Speaker 1: great player. I think that's the obvious part. Um. But

1469
01:11:56,960 --> 01:12:02,519
Speaker 1: he's a really, really, really good pro. Thank you, Thanks

1470
01:12:02,560 --> 01:12:06,800
Speaker 1: Mary Kaye. Let's go to Scott Patrick Kevin going back

1471
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:10,919
Speaker 1: to Tom saying that Jacobe flashback to that Chargers interception

1472
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:13,320
Speaker 1: is he's scrambling. Does it amaze you at all that

1473
01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:15,280
Speaker 1: that would flash through his head or that it even

1474
01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:17,320
Speaker 1: can when things are moving so fast during a game.

1475
01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:21,120
Speaker 1: Uh No, I think we all have scars. I think

1476
01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:23,040
Speaker 1: we all have those flashes. It was in the same

1477
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:24,840
Speaker 1: end zone, you know, it was in the same end

1478
01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:27,320
Speaker 1: of the building. So I think all of us, you know,

1479
01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:30,519
Speaker 1: I call plays thinking about a play from the previous

1480
01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:33,280
Speaker 1: week and two and sometimes you know, you gotta let

1481
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:36,240
Speaker 1: that stuff go, as we talked about. But um, it's

1482
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:40,000
Speaker 1: all these moments shape us good and bad. I mean,

1483
01:12:40,120 --> 01:12:43,320
Speaker 1: we all take those plays with us. And how impressive

1484
01:12:43,479 --> 01:12:47,080
Speaker 1: his his toughness been from a resilience standpoint, ban and physically,

1485
01:12:47,120 --> 01:12:49,120
Speaker 1: I mean, he took some hits yesterday and he keeps

1486
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:51,000
Speaker 1: getting up and playing. He took a shot to the

1487
01:12:51,120 --> 01:12:55,080
Speaker 1: throat there, um and uh yeah, he's a big man

1488
01:12:55,880 --> 01:12:58,760
Speaker 1: in the NFL. You know you're playing that position, You've

1489
01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:00,320
Speaker 1: got a lot of guys closing in on you. But

1490
01:13:00,920 --> 01:13:03,400
Speaker 1: he uh, and all the quarterback sneaks. I mean the

1491
01:13:04,120 --> 01:13:06,479
Speaker 1: those are shots on the body and those type of things.

1492
01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:09,120
Speaker 1: But but he takes care of his body, and uh,

1493
01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:11,680
Speaker 1: he's always going to give this team everything he has.

1494
01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:18,439
Speaker 1: Thank you, st Darren writer. Go ahead, yeah, Kevin. With

1495
01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:21,840
Speaker 1: the trade deadline about eighty five minutes away or so here, Um,

1496
01:13:22,640 --> 01:13:26,280
Speaker 1: are you expecting anything to happen? Are you looking uh

1497
01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:29,920
Speaker 1: or hoping that Andrew Barry does something? And does the

1498
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:33,040
Speaker 1: result of last night's game change the the approach or

1499
01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:37,240
Speaker 1: the thinking. I just got out of meetings, so I

1500
01:13:37,320 --> 01:13:39,559
Speaker 1: don't know. I haven't seen Andrew in the last couple

1501
01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:43,479
Speaker 1: of hours. Uh, it doesn't change my thinking. Uh, you know,

1502
01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:46,800
Speaker 1: focused on what's in front of us, and you guys

1503
01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:48,200
Speaker 1: get you guys will get a chance to talk to

1504
01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:49,880
Speaker 1: Andrew later in the week. I'm sure you can ask him.

1505
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:53,640
Speaker 1: But for us, it's just what we focus on what

1506
01:13:53,760 --> 01:13:57,120
Speaker 1: we can control. And you know, with last night's game,

1507
01:13:58,920 --> 01:14:03,120
Speaker 1: you talk constantly about stacking games, and the defense seems

1508
01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:05,400
Speaker 1: to have stacked a couple of games here going into

1509
01:14:05,439 --> 01:14:09,960
Speaker 1: the by Um, do you feel like that that side

1510
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:12,479
Speaker 1: of the ball has maybe found something similar to what

1511
01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:17,280
Speaker 1: they did last year down the stretch? Yeah, I don't

1512
01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:19,799
Speaker 1: know that I would compare it to last year, Darryl.

1513
01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:22,400
Speaker 1: I just think you know, you go into these games

1514
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:25,840
Speaker 1: and you're facing such unique attacks weekend and week out.

1515
01:14:25,880 --> 01:14:27,880
Speaker 1: Think about you're going to face Baltimore and that presents

1516
01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:31,160
Speaker 1: all sorts of challenges. You're facing Cincinnati and that faces

1517
01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:34,400
Speaker 1: and then you've got different challenges. So it's just a

1518
01:14:34,479 --> 01:14:36,920
Speaker 1: reminder that in the NFL, as you put game plans

1519
01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:39,640
Speaker 1: together and you try to play good defense, uh, you

1520
01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:41,880
Speaker 1: have different challenges each week. And I think the guys

1521
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:45,519
Speaker 1: understand that, Um, we played really good defensive football last night.

1522
01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:48,040
Speaker 1: I mean just how we played early in that game,

1523
01:14:48,200 --> 01:14:51,559
Speaker 1: getting the takeaway and then forcing them to punt after

1524
01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:54,200
Speaker 1: we missed the field and forcing them to punt after

1525
01:14:54,280 --> 01:14:57,960
Speaker 1: we throw the interception. Uh, us playing good defense early

1526
01:14:58,080 --> 01:15:00,200
Speaker 1: I think really set the tone for that game. Is

1527
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:02,880
Speaker 1: if we don't play good early, they're able to put

1528
01:15:02,920 --> 01:15:05,599
Speaker 1: points on the board. So, um, of course you always

1529
01:15:05,600 --> 01:15:08,240
Speaker 1: want to build on on those type of things. UM,

1530
01:15:08,720 --> 01:15:10,360
Speaker 1: but it's it's a week to week basis, and we

1531
01:15:10,439 --> 01:15:12,160
Speaker 1: got to make sure that we when we after we

1532
01:15:12,200 --> 01:15:14,720
Speaker 1: get back out at the Spy, we've put together a

1533
01:15:14,800 --> 01:15:16,800
Speaker 1: plan for Miami. That's really where our focus will be.

1534
01:15:18,160 --> 01:15:22,680
Speaker 1: Thanks Daryl. Fred Greatham's next, Hey, coach, going on what

1535
01:15:22,840 --> 01:15:26,480
Speaker 1: Darryll just asked, as far as you stress the takeaways

1536
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:29,519
Speaker 1: and although you weren't able to put points on the

1537
01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:32,880
Speaker 1: board from them, it took points off the board potentially

1538
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:35,919
Speaker 1: for cincinnaive they were driving, they were in your territory.

1539
01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:38,240
Speaker 1: Can you just talk about that makes such a big

1540
01:15:38,320 --> 01:15:42,360
Speaker 1: difference in how maybe you know you can continue to

1541
01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:44,920
Speaker 1: keep that momentum going in that area, no doubt. I

1542
01:15:44,960 --> 01:15:47,400
Speaker 1: mean it's something we talk about for something we coach,

1543
01:15:47,760 --> 01:15:50,920
Speaker 1: we emphasize. Felt like there would be some opportunities for

1544
01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:55,000
Speaker 1: tip balls last night, and sure enough shows up in

1545
01:15:55,080 --> 01:15:57,240
Speaker 1: the first drive, so Miles gets his hand on it,

1546
01:15:57,600 --> 01:16:00,439
Speaker 1: A j makes a great play and we come away

1547
01:16:00,479 --> 01:16:02,439
Speaker 1: with no points. Like you mentioned with the missfield go,

1548
01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:04,599
Speaker 1: we were able to turn and think that the next

1549
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:07,640
Speaker 1: bumble into eight points. So focuses is going to be

1550
01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:11,000
Speaker 1: important whenever we get those takeaways to to come away

1551
01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:14,160
Speaker 1: with points. But it's it's the best stat there is

1552
01:16:14,439 --> 01:16:17,000
Speaker 1: in this team game, is that turnover march and so

1553
01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:20,640
Speaker 1: it's something that will always be focused on. Thank you,

1554
01:16:20,680 --> 01:16:24,040
Speaker 1: Fred Fontana. Go ahead, yeah, Kevin, you mentioned about the

1555
01:16:24,040 --> 01:16:27,040
Speaker 1: trade deadline today? Is it all uneasy to kind of

1556
01:16:27,080 --> 01:16:28,960
Speaker 1: go through the day like wondering if so? I mean,

1557
01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:31,160
Speaker 1: obviously and we know you talked to Andrew and everything,

1558
01:16:31,240 --> 01:16:33,479
Speaker 1: but is there any uneasiness to a day like today?

1559
01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:37,280
Speaker 1: Not from me, you know, I get it, you know,

1560
01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:41,280
Speaker 1: but we just gotta do our job. And then the

1561
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:43,080
Speaker 1: self scout this week that you know you're doing a

1562
01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:45,080
Speaker 1: lot of the team There are a lot of teams.

1563
01:16:45,240 --> 01:16:47,599
Speaker 1: Is there something specific that you get really excited about

1564
01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:49,920
Speaker 1: to to really dive into or take a look at

1565
01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:51,800
Speaker 1: or is it just top to bottom taking a lot

1566
01:16:51,840 --> 01:16:54,080
Speaker 1: of everything? Yeah? I think you you do self scout

1567
01:16:54,439 --> 01:16:56,479
Speaker 1: every week. You know, you're trying to keep tabs at

1568
01:16:56,479 --> 01:16:57,880
Speaker 1: where you are week to week. You don't want to

1569
01:16:58,280 --> 01:17:01,080
Speaker 1: wait four weeks and then learn something that you could

1570
01:17:01,080 --> 01:17:03,639
Speaker 1: have helped you a few weeks previous, so you're constantly

1571
01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:05,760
Speaker 1: doing it. I think now is a great time though

1572
01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:07,800
Speaker 1: where were it's a big sample size where we are

1573
01:17:07,960 --> 01:17:10,200
Speaker 1: this many games into it, so I do think you

1574
01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:12,479
Speaker 1: can glean some things. And I think the most important

1575
01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:13,960
Speaker 1: thing is what do we do well? What do we

1576
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:16,720
Speaker 1: not do well? And you've gotta have honest conversations with

1577
01:17:16,840 --> 01:17:20,519
Speaker 1: yourself and with your coaches about those type of things. Uh,

1578
01:17:20,600 --> 01:17:23,960
Speaker 1: and then you know, make appropriate decisions based on that information.

1579
01:17:24,040 --> 01:17:25,680
Speaker 1: So if you have to do, let's do a lot

1580
01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:28,639
Speaker 1: more of this. And hey, this isn't working. It draws

1581
01:17:28,720 --> 01:17:30,559
Speaker 1: up on the board, it looks nice, but it's not working,

1582
01:17:30,640 --> 01:17:33,560
Speaker 1: So let's move in a different direction. Thank you that.

1583
01:17:33,720 --> 01:17:37,240
Speaker 1: Let's go back to Marykay Cabin. Yeah, follow up question

1584
01:17:37,439 --> 01:17:40,040
Speaker 1: on on Jacobe. He was talking about how the game

1585
01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:44,000
Speaker 1: has slowed down for him so much, and I'm just wondering, Uh,

1586
01:17:44,120 --> 01:17:46,760
Speaker 1: you know, have you since that have have you seen

1587
01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:49,599
Speaker 1: that in him that he's playing some really smart football

1588
01:17:49,640 --> 01:17:52,479
Speaker 1: And if so, is that really helping you in terms of,

1589
01:17:52,760 --> 01:17:56,400
Speaker 1: you know, game planning and what he's seeing out there. Yeah.

1590
01:17:57,080 --> 01:17:59,360
Speaker 1: I can't speak to it slowing down for him, Mary Kay,

1591
01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:02,880
Speaker 1: but I would just as a veteran, he's seen a

1592
01:18:02,960 --> 01:18:06,599
Speaker 1: lot of defense. So it feels like weekend and week out,

1593
01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:08,840
Speaker 1: you go up against a certain scheme. He's played that

1594
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:12,280
Speaker 1: scheme and he played a descend into that scheme recently,

1595
01:18:12,439 --> 01:18:16,880
Speaker 1: so he knows what the rules are for their coverages

1596
01:18:16,920 --> 01:18:19,320
Speaker 1: and those type of things. And he's a big player.

1597
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:21,519
Speaker 1: You see him standing in that pocket, and I thought

1598
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:23,439
Speaker 1: the guys to the protection was outstanding. But you see

1599
01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:26,720
Speaker 1: him in there surveying the entire field, making throws to

1600
01:18:26,800 --> 01:18:28,600
Speaker 1: all areas of the field. So I just think he

1601
01:18:28,680 --> 01:18:31,360
Speaker 1: does see it clearly. I think that's one of his strengths. Um.

1602
01:18:31,840 --> 01:18:34,400
Speaker 1: And I think in terms of it slowing down, I

1603
01:18:34,520 --> 01:18:37,479
Speaker 1: just think that's preparation. I really do. He works very

1604
01:18:37,520 --> 01:18:40,320
Speaker 1: hard to get ready for these games and what he

1605
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:41,760
Speaker 1: does in the meeting room, what he does on the

1606
01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:45,040
Speaker 1: practice field to make sure that he's getting himself ready

1607
01:18:45,560 --> 01:18:50,120
Speaker 1: to grow perform in these games. Thank you, Thanks Mary Case, Scott,

1608
01:18:50,120 --> 01:18:53,760
Speaker 1: Patrick Carroll, and Kevin. After the game, you mentioned the

1609
01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:57,719
Speaker 1: only being all over the place, Um, how well, just overall,

1610
01:18:57,720 --> 01:19:00,559
Speaker 1: how well he's he been playing And what's he's showing

1611
01:19:00,600 --> 01:19:02,920
Speaker 1: you being in a bigger role than he's had in

1612
01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:05,280
Speaker 1: the past. Yeah, he's done a really nice job. Scott.

1613
01:19:05,320 --> 01:19:09,320
Speaker 1: You know he's in the past just he's been our

1614
01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:11,280
Speaker 1: base linebacker and then not in there in some of

1615
01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:13,720
Speaker 1: the sub packages, and but he's always ready to go

1616
01:19:14,080 --> 01:19:16,240
Speaker 1: at the moment we would need him. So it is

1617
01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:19,160
Speaker 1: an increased role and and he's doing his job. I

1618
01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:21,120
Speaker 1: think that's where it always starts he's doing his job,

1619
01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:23,320
Speaker 1: he's where he's supposed to be, and then he's tackling. Well,

1620
01:19:23,840 --> 01:19:25,400
Speaker 1: there were a bunch of moments where they were checking

1621
01:19:25,439 --> 01:19:28,880
Speaker 1: the ball down to their running backs and he was

1622
01:19:29,040 --> 01:19:31,080
Speaker 1: right in position, got him on the ground. A bunch

1623
01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:33,080
Speaker 1: of the guys, John Johnson had a couple of real

1624
01:19:33,200 --> 01:19:36,240
Speaker 1: nice open field tackles, So that was a big part.

1625
01:19:36,520 --> 01:19:39,559
Speaker 1: I did think. You know, that was you want, probably

1626
01:19:39,600 --> 01:19:42,800
Speaker 1: our best tackling game of the season, um and she

1627
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:45,360
Speaker 1: only played a huge role in that. And you know,

1628
01:19:45,400 --> 01:19:47,439
Speaker 1: I know you're one week at a time, but can

1629
01:19:47,479 --> 01:19:51,200
Speaker 1: you kind of quantify just how different it feels going

1630
01:19:51,280 --> 01:19:53,640
Speaker 1: into the bye week coming off a win, especially one

1631
01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:59,559
Speaker 1: that stops a four game losing street Quantify it? Yeah,

1632
01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:03,639
Speaker 1: I don't explain it. The difference in the building today,

1633
01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:07,680
Speaker 1: you know, if you had five lots, Yeah, I got Yeah,

1634
01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:11,680
Speaker 1: it's it's it's listen, you're battling, as you know, these

1635
01:20:11,720 --> 01:20:15,840
Speaker 1: are nobody likes the feeling when you lose. Um, And

1636
01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:17,639
Speaker 1: I can tell you the locker room after you win,

1637
01:20:18,520 --> 01:20:21,080
Speaker 1: all those high fives, all all that that good will,

1638
01:20:21,880 --> 01:20:25,800
Speaker 1: it's just it's it's deposits of good will after those wins,

1639
01:20:25,840 --> 01:20:29,200
Speaker 1: so you enjoy them. Um, but what you can't do

1640
01:20:29,320 --> 01:20:33,400
Speaker 1: is you can't lose sight of what causes that those winds,

1641
01:20:33,439 --> 01:20:34,960
Speaker 1: how you get those results. And I think it just

1642
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:37,640
Speaker 1: goes back to how we prepare, how we how we

1643
01:20:37,720 --> 01:20:42,200
Speaker 1: handle our work week. Um, so yes, uh, it feels

1644
01:20:42,280 --> 01:20:45,680
Speaker 1: better today. Thanks Scott. We'll go to time with it

1645
01:20:45,800 --> 01:20:49,120
Speaker 1: and we'll close with Tony Grossi and Mary Kay Kevin. Kevin,

1646
01:20:49,160 --> 01:20:51,280
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about the tackling. You gotta

1647
01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:54,519
Speaker 1: do a statistical breakdown on that in terms of Yeah,

1648
01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:56,519
Speaker 1: I know, it's like when you see the eye tests

1649
01:20:56,560 --> 01:20:58,680
Speaker 1: and guys are wrapped what have you, But yards after

1650
01:20:58,760 --> 01:21:01,960
Speaker 1: catch things like that. Yeah, we track our tackles and

1651
01:21:02,080 --> 01:21:06,599
Speaker 1: miss tackles. I know PFF puts out tackling statistics week

1652
01:21:06,640 --> 01:21:09,360
Speaker 1: in and week out as well. And not to nitpick,

1653
01:21:09,439 --> 01:21:11,760
Speaker 1: but Kate had another long one blocked last night. Do

1654
01:21:11,800 --> 01:21:15,000
Speaker 1: you guys have a protection problem or a trajectory problem?

1655
01:21:15,760 --> 01:21:17,920
Speaker 1: You know, we just gotta work at it time. Obviously,

1656
01:21:18,040 --> 01:21:21,840
Speaker 1: I thought that one came out low. Um, he crushed

1657
01:21:21,880 --> 01:21:23,519
Speaker 1: the one at the end of the half, So what

1658
01:21:23,640 --> 01:21:26,559
Speaker 1: we'll keep working. Um, he's he's a young man, he's

1659
01:21:26,560 --> 01:21:28,160
Speaker 1: going to continue to get better at his craft, and

1660
01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:31,320
Speaker 1: we do have to protect obviously, it goes hand in hand.

1661
01:21:35,520 --> 01:21:39,599
Speaker 1: I hope you could air met Kevin two quick ones

1662
01:21:39,760 --> 01:21:43,040
Speaker 1: number one. I don't think you targeted a tight end yesterday.

1663
01:21:43,120 --> 01:21:44,920
Speaker 1: It's got to be one of the most unusual games

1664
01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:47,559
Speaker 1: you've been involved with that respect. You can you remember

1665
01:21:47,640 --> 01:21:51,240
Speaker 1: the last time, uh didn't play a role in the

1666
01:21:51,320 --> 01:21:55,720
Speaker 1: passing game? Yeah? I think no, You're right, Tony that

1667
01:21:55,880 --> 01:21:58,280
Speaker 1: that's unusual for us. Now. They played a big role

1668
01:21:58,320 --> 01:22:02,800
Speaker 1: in the game, you know. Harrison Merrow, Mike Donn, James

1669
01:22:02,880 --> 01:22:05,320
Speaker 1: Hudson watched some of the things they did in the

1670
01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:07,280
Speaker 1: run game, watch some of the things they did in protection.

1671
01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:10,599
Speaker 1: So they played a huge role. You don't go into

1672
01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:12,800
Speaker 1: the games thinking you're not going to target those guys

1673
01:22:12,840 --> 01:22:14,680
Speaker 1: in the past game. It's just how it kind of

1674
01:22:14,760 --> 01:22:17,200
Speaker 1: shook out. But they were a big part of why

1675
01:22:17,320 --> 01:22:18,800
Speaker 1: we were able to do what we did last night.

1676
01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:24,040
Speaker 1: And the extra use of the offensive lineman. Uh. I

1677
01:22:24,120 --> 01:22:28,160
Speaker 1: can't imagine too many teams practice against that, you know,

1678
01:22:28,360 --> 01:22:31,080
Speaker 1: and you did it more than just a couple of times. Uh.

1679
01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:33,360
Speaker 1: Do you consider that an edge when you have something

1680
01:22:33,439 --> 01:22:36,720
Speaker 1: that most teams don't do. Yeah, it could be. I

1681
01:22:36,840 --> 01:22:39,920
Speaker 1: think there's there's always that element, Tony where you're trying

1682
01:22:39,960 --> 01:22:43,160
Speaker 1: to do give the defense something they haven't seen or

1683
01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:46,160
Speaker 1: make them prepare for something. So there there's there's a

1684
01:22:47,080 --> 01:22:48,680
Speaker 1: always will be a package of plays that we can

1685
01:22:48,760 --> 01:22:51,160
Speaker 1: run out of those sets. I can tell you the

1686
01:22:51,680 --> 01:22:54,719
Speaker 1: entire offense is very excited when to watch those plays,

1687
01:22:54,760 --> 01:22:57,720
Speaker 1: when Drew Forbes at fullback and James Hudson's at the

1688
01:22:57,840 --> 01:23:00,519
Speaker 1: wingtight end and Mike Dunn's out there, it's uh, it

1689
01:23:00,680 --> 01:23:03,680
Speaker 1: is unique. Uh, they enjoy it. I hope hopefully just

1690
01:23:03,760 --> 01:23:06,880
Speaker 1: got fine for me saying their names, but um, it was.

1691
01:23:08,040 --> 01:23:09,920
Speaker 1: It gave our players a lot of energy. You just

1692
01:23:09,960 --> 01:23:12,840
Speaker 1: watched James Hudson running off the field after that two

1693
01:23:12,920 --> 01:23:16,120
Speaker 1: point conversion. Really goes to show you how much those

1694
01:23:16,160 --> 01:23:19,360
Speaker 1: guys love competing, uh and love to play that physical

1695
01:23:19,439 --> 01:23:24,160
Speaker 1: brand of football. And we'll close with Mary Kay. Yeah, Kevin,

1696
01:23:24,240 --> 01:23:26,160
Speaker 1: you said you've been in meeting, so maybe you're not

1697
01:23:26,360 --> 01:23:29,040
Speaker 1: up to speed on every single thing yet, but it

1698
01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:31,479
Speaker 1: looks like the Dolphins probably gave you guys a little

1699
01:23:31,560 --> 01:23:34,519
Speaker 1: something else to think about when you're gonna be heading

1700
01:23:34,560 --> 01:23:37,519
Speaker 1: into your next game against them. By acquiring Bradley Chubb.

1701
01:23:37,880 --> 01:23:40,519
Speaker 1: So I'm just wondering, you know, what would be your

1702
01:23:40,560 --> 01:23:42,400
Speaker 1: initial reaction to that, And are you guys as a

1703
01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:46,040
Speaker 1: coaching staff starting your preparations for Miami and do you

1704
01:23:46,280 --> 01:23:48,439
Speaker 1: now have a little something more to to work on

1705
01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:52,040
Speaker 1: with him? Yeah, I haven't started yet on Miami, but

1706
01:23:52,400 --> 01:23:55,720
Speaker 1: I'll be sure to at look at him and uh,

1707
01:23:55,880 --> 01:23:58,800
Speaker 1: you know, a great player, you know, but we'll get

1708
01:23:58,920 --> 01:24:00,800
Speaker 1: we'll get to Miami. I think part of the bye

1709
01:24:00,840 --> 01:24:03,200
Speaker 1: week is you really do have to get to know

1710
01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:06,640
Speaker 1: yourself first. You gotta really understand what we're good at,

1711
01:24:06,720 --> 01:24:08,680
Speaker 1: what we're not so good at. Uh, And then we

1712
01:24:08,760 --> 01:24:10,720
Speaker 1: will use some extra time on my am. And it's

1713
01:24:10,720 --> 01:24:13,479
Speaker 1: a really good football team. They're very very well coached.

1714
01:24:13,520 --> 01:24:16,280
Speaker 1: I know a few of their coaches. Um, they're explosive.

1715
01:24:17,040 --> 01:24:19,400
Speaker 1: So we will definitely have our work cut out for us.

1716
01:24:19,600 --> 01:24:23,720
Speaker 1: UM when we head down there. Anything else you can break,

1717
01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:31,000
Speaker 1: Amery Kay, No, not not right now. Thanks Mary Kay, Coach,

1718
01:24:31,040 --> 01:24:35,040
Speaker 1: appreciate the time. Okay, thanks guys, All right, there you

1719
01:24:35,080 --> 01:24:37,920
Speaker 1: have it and Mary Kay informing coach something that became

1720
01:24:38,160 --> 01:24:40,160
Speaker 1: apparent as we were in that press conference that the

1721
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:43,320
Speaker 1: Dolphins had acquired Bradley Chubb. They sent a first rounder

1722
01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:45,120
Speaker 1: back to Denver. In addition to that, I believe a

1723
01:24:45,200 --> 01:24:48,280
Speaker 1: fourth UH to Denver and Chase Edmonds for Bradley Chubb.

1724
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:50,680
Speaker 1: So you have you've seen a lot. I had a

1725
01:24:50,760 --> 01:24:53,080
Speaker 1: hunch this would go this way, and it has. In

1726
01:24:53,120 --> 01:24:55,599
Speaker 1: the last week, a lot of names have moved, um,

1727
01:24:55,760 --> 01:24:58,439
Speaker 1: and so a first rounder moved there as Denver ap peels.

1728
01:24:58,520 --> 01:25:00,519
Speaker 1: It feels like they're all the way in. Uh. We

1729
01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:02,360
Speaker 1: have an hour in twelve minutes to go before the

1730
01:25:02,400 --> 01:25:04,800
Speaker 1: deadline and feels like more could be coming. Yeah, it

1731
01:25:04,880 --> 01:25:07,559
Speaker 1: feels like it's it's getting a little hot and heavy.

1732
01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:11,320
Speaker 1: Let's go. Fun to see uh. Certainly in the league.

1733
01:25:11,479 --> 01:25:14,200
Speaker 1: I like it. Um. I gotta tell you, you know

1734
01:25:14,320 --> 01:25:17,800
Speaker 1: the team for us again, if we acquire a young

1735
01:25:17,880 --> 01:25:20,439
Speaker 1: asset that can help us for the future, great. We

1736
01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:23,800
Speaker 1: probably need to be recouping assets, which is why if

1737
01:25:23,880 --> 01:25:25,880
Speaker 1: you have a strength somewhere and you give an opportunity

1738
01:25:25,880 --> 01:25:28,040
Speaker 1: to guy like Kareem to go be the guy for somebody,

1739
01:25:28,120 --> 01:25:30,320
Speaker 1: that would be a win win, I think for everybody involved.

1740
01:25:30,400 --> 01:25:33,000
Speaker 1: Of course, I'd love to see him finish out his

1741
01:25:33,040 --> 01:25:37,519
Speaker 1: career here with Cleveland Browns. Obviously, Um, this is fun though.

1742
01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:40,439
Speaker 1: It's fun to see then, but like Green Bay get

1743
01:25:40,520 --> 01:25:43,080
Speaker 1: your guy a receiver, Like what are you doing? Yeah,

1744
01:25:43,200 --> 01:25:45,519
Speaker 1: there's some that are and you wonder like did the

1745
01:25:45,560 --> 01:25:48,040
Speaker 1: Bears usurp them right at the end to get Clay Pool?

1746
01:25:48,120 --> 01:25:50,120
Speaker 1: Is that how that happened that the Bears second round

1747
01:25:50,160 --> 01:25:53,000
Speaker 1: pick was better? The Bears maybe offered their initial second

1748
01:25:53,080 --> 01:25:54,960
Speaker 1: round pick that they had gotten in the trade for

1749
01:25:55,360 --> 01:25:57,680
Speaker 1: Rokuan Smith from Baltimore, and then they sweetened it by

1750
01:25:57,680 --> 01:25:59,960
Speaker 1: adding their own and maybe that's how that deal get.

1751
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:02,120
Speaker 1: It's done. Um, You've seeing a lot of teams go

Speaker 1: dealt to the Miami Dolphins. T J. Hawkinson dealt to

1769
01:27:03,200 --> 01:27:07,080
Speaker 1: the Vikings. Uh. You had Roquan Smith to the Ravens yesterday. Uh,

1770
01:27:07,160 --> 01:27:09,200
Speaker 1: you had Robert Quinn to the Eagles last week, you

1771
01:27:09,240 --> 01:27:12,640
Speaker 1: had McCaffrey to the forty niners last week. Who's the

1772
01:27:12,680 --> 01:27:15,879
Speaker 1: one of missing Claypool to the Bears? Everybody but Claypool

1773
01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:18,240
Speaker 1: to the Bears. Is a team feeling like they're going

1774
01:27:18,360 --> 01:27:20,240
Speaker 1: for it based on where we are now with a

1775
01:27:20,280 --> 01:27:23,080
Speaker 1: little over an hour to go. Who got the most

1776
01:27:23,240 --> 01:27:26,479
Speaker 1: out of the trade deadline? Are you on? I don't

1777
01:27:26,520 --> 01:27:30,720
Speaker 1: think you're on. Go go back about how great of

1778
01:27:30,760 --> 01:27:33,160
Speaker 1: a question it was from me? Great questions, great question,

1779
01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:38,600
Speaker 1: phenomenal job there. Um. I think getting Roquan Smith was

1780
01:27:38,760 --> 01:27:41,439
Speaker 1: excellent for the Ravens. It gives them a big force

1781
01:27:41,479 --> 01:27:44,080
Speaker 1: at second level. But the team that I like the

1782
01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:46,800
Speaker 1: most is the Dolphins. I like what they've done on

1783
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:50,719
Speaker 1: offense and now defensively. You've got a trio of pass

1784
01:27:50,800 --> 01:27:53,519
Speaker 1: rushers in Agba and Jalen Phillips and now the newly

1785
01:27:53,520 --> 01:27:56,360
Speaker 1: acquired Bradley Chub. I like that a lot. I think

1786
01:27:56,400 --> 01:27:58,560
Speaker 1: that's great. And I think Hackinson to the Vikings in

1787
01:27:58,680 --> 01:28:01,720
Speaker 1: this type of a system for Kevin O'Connell gives them

1788
01:28:01,760 --> 01:28:03,920
Speaker 1: another weapon. I think that is an electric move. They're

1789
01:28:03,920 --> 01:28:05,800
Speaker 1: a good move so far. The ones that I don't love,

1790
01:28:05,800 --> 01:28:07,960
Speaker 1: I don't like the Bears move getting Claypool for that second.

1791
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:09,240
Speaker 1: I don't think that was a good trade at all.

1792
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:13,759
Speaker 1: I think the McCaffrey one has the highest upside because

1793
01:28:13,800 --> 01:28:16,080
Speaker 1: I think they went from a team that you know

1794
01:28:16,160 --> 01:28:19,720
Speaker 1: when they get healthy. They were a borderline be if

1795
01:28:19,880 --> 01:28:22,600
Speaker 1: Deebo and McCaffrey can stay healthy, and Kittle and I

1796
01:28:22,760 --> 01:28:26,040
Speaker 1: and all that other stuff like is it good. In

1797
01:28:26,120 --> 01:28:28,439
Speaker 1: his first full game, he threw a touchdown, college touchdown,

1798
01:28:28,560 --> 01:28:30,519
Speaker 1: ran for a touchdown, something that hadn't happened in seven

1799
01:28:32,040 --> 01:28:33,679
Speaker 1: That was one of those kind of good for both teams,

1800
01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:36,600
Speaker 1: like the Panthers, it's a win for them and for

1801
01:28:36,680 --> 01:28:39,679
Speaker 1: the forty niners. To me, they're right there. Dote Fortman

1802
01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:42,200
Speaker 1: ran out ran for eight thousand yards and three touchdowns

1803
01:28:42,320 --> 01:28:45,040
Speaker 1: this week. Yeah, it's absolutely wild. U gonna be a

Speaker 1: fun last hour here the next level. We'll keep you posted.
