39
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 2: out for the rest of the week. He may or

40
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 2: may not join, but I doubt he'll join. Uh Huno

41
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 2: was supposed to be back, but he had flight issues

42
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 2: coming back from his little vacation, and frankly, I don't

43
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 2: think he went to bed before the sun came up,

44
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: so I told him to stay home. Griff is handling

45
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: things on the other side of the glass. Kevin Arnold

46
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: is spinning the dials. Gentlemen, Happy baseball opening day Guardians tonight.

47
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: I believe it's Is it a ten oh seven start?

48
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 3: Yes, it is, yep, after ten o'clock, So.

49
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna throw this out there. I get that it's

50
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: on the West Coast. I know the Guardians are opening

51
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 2: up on the West Coast. I feel like a lot

52
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 2: of it has to do with maybe some of the

53
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: renovations not being totally done yet over at Progressive Field.

54
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 2: And I also get, you know, opening up on the

55
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 2: West Coast where it's a little bit warmer than it

56
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: is here. Although it is a pretty nice looking day

57
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: outside today, it is definitely still pretty cold. Why can't,

58
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 2: why why can't? Why does Oakland have to wait till

59
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 2: seven o'clock at night to do their season opener. Every

60
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 2: team when they're on the East Coast does their season

61
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 2: opener at like noon. One o'clock, four o'clock. No one

62
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 2: does it at night. Why is Oakland waiting till seven pm?

63
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 2: Their time to do this?

64
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 4: Like?

65
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 2: Why can't Oakland? Why why can't the season be opening

66
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: right now? Or well, no, you can't do it right now.

67
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I take that back. It's ten o'clock in

68
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 2: the morning. Do it at four o'clock, four o'clock, so

69
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 2: it's one o'clock, or it's seven o'clock and it's four o'clock.

70
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say, like, they do it at

71
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 3: four o'clock their time, seven o'clock here. That way we

72
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 3: get a traditional start time here and we can actually

73
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 3: all still watch it because everybody wants to watch their

74
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 3: team on opening day, and whether they're on the road

75
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 3: or at home, we want to be able to watch

76
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 3: our teams and not be in bed by the time

77
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 3: that they start.

78
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,119
Speaker 2: I mean, this is stupidity at its finest. And I, Griff,

79
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: I know you're a big baseball guy. I help me

80
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 2: understand why that the A's can't open. You know why

81
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 2: we can't play a game while it's still daylight out here?

82
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 2: Because there's no way I'm making it. I might watch

83
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 2: the first couple innings and then I'm cashed out tonight.

84
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 2: I leave tomorrow. I got vacation starting tomorrow. I need

85
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 2: some rest. Might be the last time I get rest

86
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 2: for like five days. Might be hitting the bottle hard.

87
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 2: I'm kidding, yeah, maybe a little bit. Griff, help me explain?

88
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 5: Why?

89
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 2: Why is this happening? Baseball? Guy? You're not on? How

90
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 2: about now? Good job?

91
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:53,559
Speaker 5: Griff?

92
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 6: Alright, baby, Honestly, I have no idea. I mean, I

93
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 6: I feel like they've been doing this for years. Opening Day.

94
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 6: It's Opening Day. It's not Opening Night, first of all,

95
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 6: so a ten pm start is so late. I there's

96
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 6: no way I'm gonna be able to stay up and

97
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 6: watch the entire thing. But I feel like everyone else

98
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 6: in Major League Baseball should be starting around the three

99
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 6: to four pm start, because that's a great time for

100
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 6: everyone to tune in. Plus it's not too late or

101
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 6: too early for either side of the coast of the US.

102
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 6: So I have no idea why they're starting at ten pm,

103
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 6: So good luck to anyone that's trying to watch.

104
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 2: The entirety of when you start.

105
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 6: I believe they start at six or seven here. I

106
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 6: don't know. My time schedule is very off. Right now,

107
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 6: So I could be wrong about that.

108
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, we both need to come up, Kevin says,

109
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 2: pot us both up. How is it that there you go? Awesome?

110
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 2: There we go. Nothing like live producing behind the scenes

111
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 2: on the year. That works exactly. Rangers Cubs seven thirty five. Tonight,

112
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 2: they hang the banner, don't they. Didn't you guys win

113
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 2: it last year?

114
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 7: Yeah?

115
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, they'll be a hanging the banner.

116
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: Uh, you're a big Ranger fan.

117
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 8: Yeah.

118
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 6: I have a couple of friends that's actually going to

119
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 6: opening day and they're gonna be in the parking lot

120
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 6: around two o'clock that time, and then they're gonna open

121
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 6: the gates around I believe they said three thirty or

122
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 6: four o'clock, So gates are opening about two two and

123
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 6: a half hours before the game even starts for that

124
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 6: banner ceremony.

125
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 2: No, enjoy that. I know you'll watch that tonight and

126
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 2: you'll still be a solid three hours away from Guardians

127
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 2: Opening Day. Yeah, that's rough, just brutal. I don't understand.

128
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 2: How about a little help for the East coast since

129
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 2: we always have to conform to what the West Coast

130
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 2: wants from a timing standpoint, drives me crazy. Bulk of

131
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: the people live on the East coast. Bo Bishop had

132
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 2: that stat It's ridiculous. Why am I in forming to

133
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 2: what the West Coast is doing?

134
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 9: Uh.

00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 6: soon as the final four hits, I need them knocked

159
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 6: out by I believe it's Tennessee.

160
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 2: So the East Region is number one, Yukon in San

161
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 2: Diego State at seven point forty, and then it's Iowa

162
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 2: State and Illinois at ten oh nine. The West Region

163
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 2: starts at seven oh nine as well. It'll be Clemson Arizona.

164
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 2: The girl will be watching, and then the late game

165
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 2: is North Carolina Alabama. I would encourage you if you've

166
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 2: not seen Alabama play. They play no defense. They do

167
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,359
Speaker 2: not care to play defense, They have no interest in defending.

168
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 2: They are simply there to outscore you, and they're pretty

169
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 2: darn good at it. So that should be an interesting

170
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 2: little matchup tonight. North Carolina Alabama might actually have to

171
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 2: defend a little bit because Carolina can put some points up.

172
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 2: And it pains me to say that because I hate

173
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 2: North Carolina. The dookies don't play till tomorrow. By the way,

174
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 2: am I going to be on a plane tomorrow night.

175
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 2: There's a chance we'll be on the ground by then.

176
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 2: Sweet the Lake game against Houston. So it's Illinois, Iowa State, Yukon,

177
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 2: San Diego State, Arizona, Clemson could be Okay, I feel

178
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 2: like I don't know what to expect from Clemson that

179
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 2: they've overachieved and screwed up my portion of the bracket,

180
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 2: and then Alabama and North Carolina. Griff you just put down,

181
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 2: we're fifteen days away from the opening round to the

182
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 2: eighty eighth Masters at the Augusta National Golf Club. That's

183
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:33,719
Speaker 2: exciting to me. Yeah, we are.

184
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 6: I believe it's the first major of the season as well.

185
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 2: Correct it is, Yes, it's that means we're less than

186
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: two weeks away from the opening of my golf league,

187
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 2: the Hooligans. We go a lot of discussion on the

188
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 2: golf league and the rules this year, back and forth.

189
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 2: Last night there were web poles going up, all kinds

190
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 2: of craziness. But the league starts in two weeks and

191
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 2: that's all I care about. We'll figure out the rest

192
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 2: as we go. But that means Golf League Wednesday night,

193
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 2: Thursday Masters. Now we're cooking with a little gas. All

00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 2: I need now is for the wife to have some

195

Speaker 2: other obligations for the weekend where she's got stuff going on,

196
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 2: and I don't that's really my goal in life.

197
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 6: That's it sounds like a pretty great week.

00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 2: not go to Brazil. Waiting to find out from the

Speaker 2: Andrew Berry. He's had a good, good couple of weeks

237
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 2: and got to talk about it with the Cleveland media

238
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 2: down at the NFL Owners meetings in Florida, Addressing a

239
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 2: number of different topics include new free agent additions, the

240
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 2: current roster, Mike Vrabel, and a couple other things as well.

241
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 2: Here's part one from this press conference. Enjoy, Well, a

242
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 2: lot of your.

243
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 5: Free agency was centered bringing bringing guys back? What why? What? What?

244
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 8: Why was that so.

245
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 10: Important in your mind to kind of work re sign

246
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 10: guys more than maybe go pursue outside.

247
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 11: Yeah, it really is a combination of both, Chris, Like,

248
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 11: I think once your roster becomes more mature and you

249
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 11: have it in Establix Corps, that will the balance will

250
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 11: lean more towards retention than maybe external signings, whether it's

251
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 11: early extensions for guys or veterans that that may hit

252
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 11: the market initially and bring them back. But that's not

253
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 11: to say that we didn't explore external auditions or make

254
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 11: a handful of external additions. That's just kind of how

255
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 11: it worked out this offseason with you know, the values

256
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 11: that we put on a number of players across the league.

257
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 11: We also felt like we had a pretty high baseline,

258
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 11: like we were really pleased with the team last year,

259
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 11: particularly the defensive side of the ball, you know, so

260
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 11: I think going into it there was always going to

261
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 11: be a little bit more of a retention Leane and

262
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 11: than than additionally.

263
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 5: But I can't say that, you know, it was so

264
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 5: purposeful that that that was that was the only thing

265
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 5: that we were focused on.

266
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 11: Yeah, so Kate, you know, I think that everyone in

267
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 11: this room knows how talented we think Kate is. And

268
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 11: and obviously you know, he went through a tough, tough

269
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 11: stretch you know, last year with us in camp. But

270
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 11: you see this a lot with like the history of kickers,

271
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 11: maybe like a guy like Evan McPherson or you know,

272
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 11: Justin Talker when he first entered the league.

273
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 5: They're kind of more the exceptions in the rules.

274
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 11: But you can look at Willie Gay, you can look

275
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 11: at you know, Steve, Steve Carlson.

276
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 5: Thank you, thank you very much.

277
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 11: And yeah, you know, how should go back in the

278
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 11: day where all lot like rookie players, there is a

279
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 11: little bit of like up and down before they find

280
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 11: their stability. And we've always believed in having a developmental

281
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 11: kicker on the roster. And you know, Cad we think

282
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 11: is as good as they come in that regard and

283
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 11: looking forward to working with him in it.

284
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, and just also Daniel Carlson. Sorry I lost there

285
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 5: ago I was gonna say. I was like, man, why

286
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 5: is that name on my mind?

287
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 11: Both Cad and Jerry Judy, you know, you really like

288
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 11: coming out of the draft, but I had to pick a.

289
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 4: Tackle that year.

290
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 3: How long do you trust your own convictions on the

291
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 3: evaluation of a player.

292
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 12: At JU but you still believe he's an elite player

293
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 12: from what you've judged him.

294
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 11: Yeah, so I think so probably two separate cases. One,

295
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 11: so with Judy, the college of value, like that's not

296
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 11: really relevant in terms of the decision or the trade

297
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 11: we made for Jerry for Cade because he only has

298
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 11: really one year in the one year in the league,

299
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 11: and he has the physical characteristics that a lot of

300
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 11: the top kickers have in the in the NFL. And

301
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 11: then honestly just the typical career trajectory of kickers in

302
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 11: the NFL where they do usually have an uneven you know,

303
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 11: first two seasons, and the fact that we were going

304
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 11: to add a developmental kicker, right, like, we're really happy

305
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 11: with us and obviously Dustin's are our kicker this year,

306
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 11: barring any type of you know, catastrophic injury or something

307
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 11: along those lines. But we felt like Cade was one of,

308
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 11: if not the best options to work with in that

309
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 11: developmental spot. And with Jerry, it's it's really it really

310
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 11: is more about the the you know, the the PROI

311
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 11: history at this point, you know, we feel like we

312
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 11: have an individual who's an elite separator, can play inside

313
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 11: and outside you'll produce in less than ideal you know,

314
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 11: circumstances and usage for various reasons in Denver, and we

315
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 11: feel like he compliments our group really nicely.

316
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 13: Then as big as Jenny Station with Jerry early.

317
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 14: Sign.

318
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 5: Yeah. So yeah, so, like you know, one of the

319
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 5: things that.

320
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 11: You know, we feel like is a competitive vantage for

321
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 11: us has been our contract management philosophy.

322
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 5: And we're firm believers that in that space, the best.

323
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 11: Front offices are the best teams are proactive as opposed

324
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 11: to reactionary and market dynamics. I think that, you know,

325
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 11: if you look at our history, you know, whether it's

326
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 11: you know, when we did Miles or when we traded

327
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 11: for Coop's contract, you know, ahead of really ahead of

328
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 11: the shift of the receiver market. Or David because of

329
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 11: usage issues.

330
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 5: It's it's something.

331
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 11: It's something that probably like realistical, probably us in Philly.

332
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 11: We you know, we do, we do a lot of

333
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 11: In Jerry's case, you know, you already saw two new

334
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 11: receiver car contracts enter the market that really are are

335
00:18:58,480 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 11: our harbingers of.

336
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 5: Things to come in that market.

337
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 11: I mean probably by week one of the the NFL season,

338
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 11: the top of that market's going to be north of

339
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 11: thirty million dollars. And so as we think of the

340
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 11: contract management space, rather than be react reactive to old

341
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 11: or excuse me, be reactive to new market diacts, we

342
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 11: try and be proactive. And probably more importantly is when

343
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 11: we think about an extension or assigning, we think about, okay, well,

344
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 11: where is the market actually going to be on September one,

345
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 11: as opposed to maybe an irrelevant market on March one.

346
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 5: So to speak.

347
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 3: Were you surprise that Tyler was?

348
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 5: Yes?

349
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 11: Yes, So we we looked at that as a a

350
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 11: really fantastic opportunity for you know, for our organization. I know,

351
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 11: and I'll let Tyler speak on it whenever you guys

352
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 11: talk to him next, But you know, I know that

353
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 11: a couple things, you know, maybe went a little bit

354
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 11: of a different direction, so he kind of maybe got

355
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 11: caught standing in a game of musical chairs unexpectedly, But

356
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,239
Speaker 11: we felt like that was a great opportunity for us.

357
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 11: You know, quarterbacks the most important position. We wouldn't stop

358
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,239
Speaker 11: acquiring offensive defensive lineman, we wouldn't do the same thing

359
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 11: at quarterback.

360
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 15: How about do Sean, can you just give us from

361
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 15: your page point how he's doing?

362
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 14: Who?

363
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, I think he's doing a great job.

364
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 11: He he's been working his tail off, you know, obviously

365
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 11: he you know, he started throwing recently.

366
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 5: He uh, he's in a really he's a really good spot.

367
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 11: We're we're excited when he when he gets back here

368
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 11: in the spring, and you know, we'll take it day

369
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 11: by day, week by week, but you know, we're very

370
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 11: we're very optimistic on this progress.

371
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 5: Is Huntley and d t R?

372
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 12: I mean, is there any concern about t TR's.

373
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,360
Speaker 8: Health or rookie year?

374
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 5: Definitely not, definitely not his rookie year. We're always wanna.

375
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 11: Be, you know, cautious and mindful of our guys coming

376
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 11: back from you know, injury concerns.

377
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 5: You know, but I i'd say, like Tyler's addition is.

378
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 11: Even independent of that, Tony, We've always had four quarterbacks.

379
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 11: You know, we're obviously have two quarterbacks that are coming

380
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 11: off of season ending injuries. And then Tyler was just

381
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 11: us being flexible, adaptable to an opportunity that that that

382
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 11: quite honestly, we didn't expect at that point in the spring.

383
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 15: In terms of Janus, did you have to give much

384
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 15: or any thought or how much thought did you give

385
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 15: to the character piece of it given that you have

386
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 15: deshauns Yeah.

387
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 11: I think for any player that we acquire, that's we're

388
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 11: we're very diligent in terms of like the background work

389
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 11: that we do. Zero concerns about Jamis bringing him into

390
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 11: the organization. Awesome teammate, awesome person, He's a consonant pro.

391
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 11: We have a really good blocker room, Mary kay and

392
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 11: uh feel really good about him, feel really good about

393
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 11: our quarterback room.

394
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 5: Zero contructs.

395
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 12: Yeah, do you feel Quentin Jefferson brings something that you

396
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 12: didn't have at the tackle position last year?

397
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 5: I think Quinn brings us more.

398
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 11: We're always looking for past rushers, Tony and Quinn continues to,

399
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 11: you know, bring us pass rush from the inside. We

400
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 11: believe we're always gonna roll deep on the offensive defensive line,

401
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 11: but particularly with how much we waive our defensive lineman

402
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 11: and just in this scheme pass rush.

403
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 5: Being a premium for those.

404
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 11: Guys, will always look to add guys that can that

405
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 11: can bring that skill.

406
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 5: I mean, you didn't seem to have that guy last

407
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 5: year to oh I got you, yeah, Like, I mean

408
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 5: we were pretty like.

409
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 11: Part of it is we're fortunate that we have two

410
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 11: of our three top edge guys can also rush inside.

411
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 11: So I think the way that you can can you

412
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 11: can construct a defensive line when you have that versatility

413
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 11: is provides a lot of flexibility. So well, we'll get

414
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 11: as many pass rushers come in all shapes and sizes,

415
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 11: but the fact that ZM. Miles can rush inside, that's

416
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 11: maybe less of in an emphasis for us there that

417
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 11: that's an absolute need.

418
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 16: It feels like a long way for me five and

419
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 16: the third round in the middle of bit, you feel

420
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 16: that way like potentially you could be moving around when

421
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 16: draft lane comes.

422
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 5: You guys probably know me well enough that we could

423
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 5: always be moving around.

424
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 11: I'd say it's probably less so because of the gap

425
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 11: in picks, because we are I said, we think about

426
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 11: it less in terms of let's say the the the aggregate.

427
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 5: Number of picks between our selections, and more.

428
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 11: About let's say the ranges of the draft where you're

429
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 11: getting similar talent or historically where you get similar talent.

430
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 11: I think I've mentioned this before, like once you get

431
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 11: to that point in the draft, the the likelihood that

432
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 11: you're getting a starter or a role player, it flattens

433
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 11: pretty significantly, and probably a lot earlier than people, you know,

434
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 11: people maybe externally realize. So that's not really to be honest,

435
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 11: that's not really like a huge consideration for me.

436
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 8: Injury.

437
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 5: You've had success over your career.

438
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 10: Kind of sounding at Late moo Vers last year who

439
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 10: injuries were a bit concerned. You take a you know,

440
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 10: you're taking a swing on on Devin Bush this year.

441
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 5: What is the value you.

442
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 10: Find in in kind of making those swings. Obviously it's

443
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,239
Speaker 10: it's low risk I reward. But what goes into when

444
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 10: you're evaluating those specific types of of cases where injuries

445
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 10: have really been a major, yeah issue in in in

446
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 10: their development.

447
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 5: So each case is alright, I'd say each player.

448
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 11: Is on a case by case basis. It depends on

449
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 11: like maybe the need or the skill set that we're

450
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 11: trying to acquire it that at that point in time.

451
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 11: And it also depends on like acquisition costs just just

452
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 11: just quite honestly, and and and really what the risk

453
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 11: reward is for signing or trading for a particular player.

454
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 11: I think largely speaking, you can't operate a sports team

455
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 11: with being risk averse. You just can't, like because are

456
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 11: any team's goal. It's like, all right, if you were

457
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 11: a business in the SMP, it's not to like, you know,

458
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 11: be in line with the return of the S and P.

459
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 11: You're trying to be the top name in the SMP.

460
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 11: You're trying to win the try and win the Super Bowl.

461
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 11: And that doesn't come without taking risks, you know, big

462
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 11: and small. But for those where you see it all

463
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 11: the time, like like Jase Tries a perfect example. He

464
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 11: was a guy who was like injury prone for the

465
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 11: first however many years of his career.

466
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 5: We signed him. He didn't miss a single game while

467
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 5: he was how he was with some.

468
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 11: Guys, their their bodies mature, they just they they run

469
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 11: out of bad luck.

470
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 5: Joel Buttonia two of his last three years, two of

471
00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 5: his first three years he had.

472
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 11: Ended year on IR You sat at the time extended

473
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 11: him and he's been an iron man really for the

474
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 11: past what six seven years.

475
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 5: So each each situation is really on a case by

476
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 5: case basis.

477
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 12: Now that the being able to digest the Houston game,

478
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 12: m and schwarts too.

479
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 5: What are your theories on what happened? I mean, it's

480
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 5: more than just a bad day. No, we just we

481
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 5: just didn't play well. Just period that we didn't play well.

482
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 5: That's a good offense, simple as that.

483
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 11: Like I think a lot of times people want to

484
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 11: take a singular game and make it something bigger than

485
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 11: it actually is. But they have a really good quarterback,

486
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 11: real good passing game, really good o C. We laid

487
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 11: a lot of you know, mental uncharacteristic mistakes. Unfortunately it happened.

488
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 5: You have that day of the office and the larger

489
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 5: season out looking playing on the road.

490
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 12: You guys studied that come up with any Yeah, yeah.

491
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 11: I remember, like last year was it was something like

492
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 11: first quarter scoring relative for fourth quarter scoring. I mean

493
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 11: every year you have some of these like trends that honestly,

494
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 11: they probably fall out as you like zoom out a

495
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 11: little bit or.

496
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 5: As you go through time.

497
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 11: We feel really good about the really good about the defense,

498
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 11: really feel good about the defense of philosophy, So we're

499
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 11: not going to get caught so up so much in

500
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 11: the meat in the weeds, but things that are maybe

501
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 11: more you know, macro trends throughout the season.

502
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 15: What is the messaging coming from doctor Neil Lastrash about

503
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 15: Deshaun's short injury and you guys seem really confident that

504
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 15: he's gonna be totally fine.

505
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 12: And yet I s I.

506
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 15: Can't seem to find another quarterback that has had an

507
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 15: injury like this for a comp So, you know, what

508
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 15: is the messaging?

509
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 11: Yeah, I I won't speak for you know, Neil specifically,

510
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 11: but again, all the all the you know, all the

511
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 11: the medical work that's been done at this point in time,

512
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 11: I'm Deshawn's recovery so far, it's been really positive.

513
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 5: You know, we're not we're not anticipating any any.

514
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 15: Issues because it's a bone and a home and healed

515
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 15: and become just as strong as it's. It's not like

516
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 15: he's got fans and screws and whatever.

517
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 11: I think that's probably part of it, Mary Kay, But honestly,

518
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 11: i'd I that's probably passed my just Kennedy has probably

519
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 11: passed my expertise. Honestly is involved in personnel.

520
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, absolutely, Yeah. I won't I won't.

521
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 11: I won't go into the specifics. But I think any

522
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 11: any person who's sat in like a head head coach

523
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 11: just see like they just have like a broader, per

524
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 11: broader perspective then. No different than like if you go

525
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 11: from being a scout to a general manager, you just

526
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 11: have a broader perspective in terms of team building and

527
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 11: some of the uh, you know, challenges that come into place.

528
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 11: You know, we you know, there are a lot of

529
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 11: good relationships with Mike in our building, but between Kevin, myself, Jim,

530
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 11: you know, we love love having him around, and we're

531
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 11: using him in a variety of areas that we think

532
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 11: that he can that he can help with.

533
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 5: But we're we're happy to have him aboard.

534
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 10: How long did it take for that to sort of

535
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 10: go from infant stages of those conversations to.

536
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 5: You know, this happened.

537
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 11: So it actually came together, uh pretty quickly. Like when Ben,

538
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 11: Kevin and I talked about it, initially were like, I

539
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 11: wonder if he really The open question was, Okay, this

540
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 11: is probably the first time in his life that he's

541
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 11: had a chance to like step away and kind of

542
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 11: relax away from football, like would you be even interested

543
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 11: in like coming aboard and helping. And we learned very

544
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 11: quickly that he was interested, and if he wasn't interested,

545
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 11: his wife was probably gonna make.

546
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 5: Him like be interested that type of thing.

547
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 11: So from there, from there it actually came together pretty quickly.

548
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 11: And I think you know, the other element is like

549
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 11: if you're a if you're a GM or a head coach,

550
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 11: you don't use we have the opportunity to use another

551
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 11: general manager head coach as a sounding board within your league,

552
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 11: like you may have like friends in the NBA or

553
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 11: hockey or baseball that you can do it. And like

554
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 11: with Mike, because we'd had such a good, you know

555
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 11: relationship with him for like a number of years, he

556
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 11: really was the perfect fit for ours.

557
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 10: You've seen in college now a lot of Satan was

558
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 10: famous or hiring you're hiring yep, these the house of

559
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 10: wayward coaches. Do you see that much in in the NFL? Like,

560
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 10: I mean, because it would this seems like a scenario.

561
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 5: Similar to that.

562
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 11: Yeah, So that's something we've we very much tried to

563
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 11: do with with coaches in front office personnel. Philly does

564
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 11: it a lot, Like I said, you know when I

565
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 11: was there, like how we how he's always you know,

566
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 11: employed that employed that strategy, and it's certainly something that

567
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 11: we would.

568
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 15: Mimic your a little broom closet like that, would you

569
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 15: like to have him around you in an office.

570
00:30:58,720 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 14: Or how do you want this together?

571
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 11: So yeah, I mean, he'll definitely, he definitely has a

572
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 11: good working space when he's when he's been in I

573
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 11: think for us, quite honestly, our assumption is that he's

574
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 11: going to be well back into the head coaching cycle

575
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 11: next year. Just being just being realistic, so you know,

576
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 11: we're hopeful to you know, use him as a resource

577
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 11: and have a little fun with Mike along the way

578
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 11: for the for the next year, and then we'll see

579
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:27,720

620
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 11: like he's Actually it's funny. Actually talked to him on

621
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 11: the phone the other day. He's like fully healthy in Florida,

622
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 11: training hard as he always does. You know, I know

623
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 11: he's ex h Without speaking for him, I know he's

624
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 11: exploring a number of different opportunities.

625
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,240
Speaker 5: We feel good about where our our linebacker room is

626
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 5: is headed.

627
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 11: But you know, I think I think hopefully Jacob can

628
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 11: stay healthy and he'll obviously continue to resume his career.

629
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 11: You know, whether it's here that's probably unlikely.

630
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 5: Do want could he play left tackle now or down

631
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 5: the road? Is that something you guys have talked about.

632
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 14: Uh?

633
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 11: I think I said this in twenty twenty, where like

634
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 11: tackles are tackles, I think the distinction between left tackle

635
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 11: and right tackle is obsolete.

636
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 5: We're in a division where T. J. Watt plays on

637
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 5: our the offensive right you know, the entire game. It's

638
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 5: not really a lot that we've talked about. We're pleased

639
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 5: with Dewan in terms of where he is. But like

640
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 5: I said, I think the distinction of left and right tackle.

641
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 12: Considering uh, Uh like idolized Cooper followed on for so long. Uh,

642
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 12: does that make Cooper more valuable and more more apt

643
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 12: to extend?

644
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 8: Uh?

645
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 11: I wouldn't say any like personal affinity would really impact

646
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 11: our you know, evaluation or like an extension decision for

647
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:23,280
Speaker 11: really any player. Look, Coop's a Pro Bowl caliber receiver.

648
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 11: He's played really well for us the past two years.

649
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 11: He's a strong presence in the locker room. We love

650
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 11: him so H. Players like that, you wanna make sure

651
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 11: that you can retain as long as possible, and you

652
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 11: know we'll you know, we'll work through all of that

653
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:41,879
Speaker 11: at the appropriate times.

654
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 15: Can do when we talked to you, Jimmy yesterday, he

655
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 15: said that he was close to something both you and

656
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:52,399
Speaker 15: Kevin sixteen. My question is how much does that mean

657
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 15: to you, to you and Kevin and Porce so well

658
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 15: together and to know that you're gonna have the opportunity

659
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 15: to carry us for it.

660
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 11: Yeah, so I I you guys know me well enough

661
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 11: that like, I don't really talk about contracts.

662
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 5: And yeah, no, even even for my own.

663
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 11: I'd say this, I I feel very blessed that you know,

664
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 11: to have Kevin as a partner, and I think you

665
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 11: guys all know how highly I think of him, both

666
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 11: professionally and probably more importantly as a person. It's fun

667
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 11: to go to work with him every day, it really is.

668
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 11: And I think as much as he's accomplished in his

669
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 11: first four years, there's there's a lot more runway and

670
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 11: call it the next ten. So I'm really excited to

671
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 11: see where the team heads under his stewardship. And then

672
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 11: I would say to Jimmy and d they've been fantastic.

673
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 11: I don't think that they get enough credit for you know,

674
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 11: their you know, their ownership of the of the Browns.

675
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 11: They're incredibly supportive, They're great with resources. They push where appropriate,

676
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 11: But I think the thing that often goes uh overlooked

677
00:36:59,920 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 11: or not said enough is as much as they push

678
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 11: their people, they really care about them as people, Like

679
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 11: we're not just commodities, so to speak. And you know

680
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 11: that's something that means a lot to me. I know

681
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 11: it means a lot to Kevin.

682
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 5: And you know we're fortunate to have good ownership here.

683
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 8: We know you well enough to know you're not going

684
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 8: to answer this one.

685
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 5: You were the youngest GM ever when you got hired.

686
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:23,879
Speaker 5: You're still one of the under ones.

687
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 10: I know you're worried about next month or next week,

688
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 10: but because the thought of across your mind.

689
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 5: Like you could do this for a long long time.

690
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 5: Great question.

691
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 11: Probably depends on like the week and like the year,

692
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 11: if I'm being if I'm being totally totally honest, but

693
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 11: I you know there are they're only third thirty two

694
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 11: of these jobs, and I'm fortunate enough to.

695
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 5: Be able to do it in a really good place

696
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 5: with really good people.

697
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 11: It comes with extraordinary challenges, but I always I always

698
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 11: tell my family, I visit my parents in Atlanta after this,

699
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 11: And the way I look at this job is it's

700
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 11: it's it's an incredible life experience and that's like with

701
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 11: the good stuff and the bad stuff, And it's pretty

702
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 11: cool because you learn a number of new skills seemingly

703
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 11: every year. Like I even think about it, like, Okay,

704
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 11: sitting with you guys today versus and I guess I

705
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,439
Speaker 11: guess really only Mary Kay and Tony where the first

706
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,800
Speaker 11: time I did this when I was twenty eight in Inbria,

707
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 11: and like how much I dreaded, Like that that was

708
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 11: the thing I dreaded the most about the job, like

709
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 11: talking to you all and thinking about I guess at

710
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,439
Speaker 11: this point that was the point for like eight years later,

711
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 11: just even thinking about like the growth and something as

712
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 11: small as that, let alone the other skills that you

713
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 11: developed that are outside of football, just kind of like

714
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 11: managing an organization or you know, managing people, and so

715
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 11: from that aspect, like I love the subject matter, I

716
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 11: love the people that I work with, I love the

717
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 11: you know, how much I learned on a on a

718
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 11: yearly basis. I feel like every year I go, it

719
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 11: makes me realize just.

720
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 5: How little I know. And that's pretty cool. Something that

721
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:07,919
Speaker 5: kind of stretches you and forces you to grow.

722
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 10: No Nick Chubb, the Nick Chubb question, do you need

723
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 10: to adjust this contract?

724
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 5: Yeah? I won't. I won't talk about that for all

725
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 5: the for all the obvious reasons.

726
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 11: Maybe the easiest thing is, like we we fully expect

727
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 11: Nick to be here, like, and he's doing a great

728
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 11: job with his recovery and everything. And you know, I

729
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:28,720
Speaker 11: meant what I said at the end of the season.

730
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 11: I meant what I said at the combine. We do

731
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 11: not want uh the injury in Pittsburgh to be his

732
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 11: last snap's a Cleveland Brown.

733
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 10: What did you what did the last year did you

734
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 10: talk about your relationship with Kevin?

735
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 5: What did you go in through what you guys all

736
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 5: went through last year? You know, while you were waiting

737
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:45,879
Speaker 5: and you.

738
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 10: Were also dealing with a million different Yeah, you know,

739
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:51,839
Speaker 10: things that will crop up.

740
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 5: What did that did you solidify that relationship you have when?

741
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 10: When did you guys learn through that of about each other.

742
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 11: I'll be honest, Chris, we went through a lot tougher

743
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 11: stuff before last year, Like last year, I mean COVID

744
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 11: obviously training for Deshaun every like the Odell's situation. I mean, so,

745
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 11: I mean this last year it was like, okay, just

746
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 11: injuries like that's you know, so so that last year

747
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 11: really wasn't Like I last year was challenging, but it

748
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 11: paled in comparison to the first three, if I'm being honest.

749
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 5: So, but to answer your question, so one thing my dad.

750
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 11: Always said, like every stuff was in high school, you

751
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 11: know he was he was a young manager for a

752
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 11: TV station in Baltimore for ten years, and he would

753
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 11: always tell us his kids, he was like, build relationships

754
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:41,240
Speaker 11: in non crisis times.

755
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 5: Build relationships and non crisis times.

756
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,240
Speaker 11: And I talked about like that personal element with Kevin,

757
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 11: where like just enjoy being around each other. I tell

758
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 11: you how like I know you guys don't only see it,

759
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 11: but he has like a fantastic sense of humor. He's

760
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 11: a really good family man, and like really doing that

761
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 11: over the first number of years. Like so then when

762
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:03,359
Speaker 11: we're dealing with with a crisis moment or maybe a

763
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,320
Speaker 11: tough conversation, you know, whether it's with like the roster

764
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,919
Speaker 11: or staff or something along those lines, it just makes

765
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 11: it a lot easier.

766
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 5: So we've had so many reps over the first.

767
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 11: You know, three seasons that when it gets to the

768
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,760
Speaker 11: point of you know, largely managing the roster and figuring

769
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 11: out how we're going to change our identity given the

770
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 11: major injuries.

771
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 5: You know, we had enough practice where we kind of

772
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 5: kind of how to do it, kind of doing off

773
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 5: that you mentioned staff.

774
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 10: You know, I'm sure you know you guys came to

775
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 10: a resolution, but I'm sure not every you guys have

776
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 10: made a lot of moves on the especially on the

777
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 10: offensive staff.

778
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,280
Speaker 5: What are those conversations.

779
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 8: I mean, I'm sure you're not gonna get details.

780
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 10: But but just how much negotiation against lack of better

781
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 10: or maybe are there when you're you're discussing.

782
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, we don't really, So we talked about staff just

783
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 5: like we talk about players all the time. We really

784
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 5: do view it as.

785
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 11: Like a like a partnership. It's it really is almost

786
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 11: like a like a marriage. So I don't think I

787
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 11: don't think maybe negotiation is.

788
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 5: The right way to characterize it.

789
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 11: Like, at the end of the day, we're trying to

790
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 11: find out, We're trying to problem solve and find out

791
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 11: and and make the decisions that put the team in

792
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 11: the best place to be competitive in the short and

793
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:23,359
Speaker 11: long term. So, like, I think every conversation starts from

794
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 11: there and starts from a place where we don't have

795
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 11: to question whether or not the other person has either

796
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 11: individually like the other person's best interest in fight or

797
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 11: the team's best interests in mind, and that makes those

798
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 11: more challenging conversations easier.

799
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 8: Is your true deadline proposal?

800
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 11: I hope so. But if I had to make a

801
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 11: prediction today, I think what will happen is there will

802
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 11: be more appetite to move it back.

803
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 5: One week as opposed to too. But you know I would

804
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 5: if if it moves at all, I would be be

805
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 5: pretty happy.

806
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 11: Don't print that till after the vote, though, I don't

807
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 11: want them to think that til after.

808
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 10: The source told me you were extremely passionate about.

809
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 13: This, and.

810
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 5: It is I told.

811
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 11: In the general managers head coach, you mean there was

812
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 11: an exchange where I couldn't hold my tongue because I

813
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 11: felt like someone was characterizing it in an inaccurate way.

814
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 11: I'm trying to get better at that as I get older,

815
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 11: but they're just sometimes I.

816
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 5: Can't put my tongue. So yeah, yeah, I don't. I

817
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 5: don't have a problem. Stay in my opinion, You guys

818
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 5: can probably imagine.

819
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 8: What the pushback is. I mean, because I mean, if

820
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 8: you look.

821
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 10: At it, it makes sense.

822
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 5: What the you know it does? I think I think,

823
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,280
Speaker 5: I think, I think there are probably two competing aspects

824
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 5: of play.

825
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 11: I think if it like feels more aggressive than it

826
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 11: actually is, so people are just scared of this like

827
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 11: football apocalypse where everybody's like trading away their best players

828
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 11: and like you have this halfs and half nots. And

829
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 11: I think the second element is that you do have

830
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:21,879
Speaker 11: a number of you know, franchises that are just maybe

831
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 11: a little bit uh more resistant to change.

832
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:26,959
Speaker 13: When when we talked of the combine and talking about

833
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:30,240
Speaker 13: trying to change perspective a little bit, the coaching genius

834
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 13: suspicion side of bringing in new perspectives. What are the

835
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 13: challenges of that though, I guess like in this as

836
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 13: you're bringing new coaches and you're you guys, are you

837
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 13: giving away from untended building this offense bringing in.

838
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's a good question. I think it's probably two

839
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 11: full Kelsey. I think one, you're building new relationships, just

840
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 11: both personal relationships and working working relationships. And then two

841
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 11: Jim Sports always says this just because you can do

842
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 11: a lot of things like should you because you want healthy.

843
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 5: Brainstorming, idea exchange, you want.

844
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 11: Broad perspectives, but it does come a time where you

845
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 11: do have to like funnel it and narrow it and say, Okay,

846
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 11: this is what we're going to be philosophically, and look

847
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 11: that that happens over the course of the spring, that

848
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 11: happens over the course of training camp. But you don't

849
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 11: want to be trying to do so many things that

850
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:25,320
Speaker 11: that ultimately you do nothing.

851
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 10: Well, just a couple more, can't have one James in

852
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 10: terms of kind of that what kind of quarterback you

853
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 10: wanted in that spot.

854
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 11: Yeah, So like we always take the input of our

855
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 11: of our coaching staff when we make the decision. Doesn't

856
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:46,280
Speaker 11: mean that we'll we'll we'll just go go a certain way.

857
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 11: But one of the things I would say with Jamis

858
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 11: is like style, because I've heard this like narrative before, Like, stylistically,

859
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 11: he's actually pretty different from DeShawn, Like he's not he's

860
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:01,720
Speaker 11: not like Deshaun, and he's really a true dual threat quarterback.

861
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 11: Jamis is really more of your traditional pocket guy. So

862
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 11: I think this, and then really Tyler, he's really I

863
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 11: mean he's really different than both, Like he really spans

864
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 11: more in terms of his ability to create out of structure,

865
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 11: and probably closer to Lamar than like your pure like

866
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 11: dual threat passer. So we really do have like three

867
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 11: different styles of quarterbacks in that room in terms of

868
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 11: like the vets, and we have taken the approach that

869
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:35,439
Speaker 11: you really just want the best players. Like it's up

870
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 11: to your coaching staff, your coordinators to be able to

871
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 11: adapt based on who your trigger what your trigger man

872
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:40,800
Speaker 11: strangths are.

873
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 15: In terms of Nick, just for us to be able

874
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 15: to help set expectations and probabilities.

875
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 14: I think the fans are thinking.

876
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 15: That you're just gonna go bounding out there on September six,

877
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 15: or whatever the case may be, in rush.

878
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:57,399
Speaker 14: For everyone else.

879
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 5: I hope that's the case. Yeah, yeah, but.

880
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 15: Are there expectations that you know that you can help

881
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 15: set forth here on?

882
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 5: Honestly, it's it's probably too.

883
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 11: Early to to to really understand like what he's going

884
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 11: to look like. He's he's doing, like truly doing the

885
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 11: fantastic job with the rehab, and he should start to like,

886
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 11: you know, load.

887
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 5: Run like probably sometime this upcoming this upcoming month, what

888
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:25,359
Speaker 5: do you mean load run like?

889
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 11: So like right now he's he's you know, he's strengthening

890
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 11: his squad he's doing like the rehab and everything, but

891
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 11: it's not like he's gone out and done sprints of Julia, drills, you.

892
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 5: Know, stuff stuff like that. That's this month. We expect

893
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 5: that he will.

894
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 12: But you did add two running bears.

895
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:46,839
Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm sorry. Running So I think usually we either

896
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 11: have six or seven going to Camp tony three of

897
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 11: them are like undrafted free agents or something, and I'm sorry,

898
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 11: usually two or three of them are undrafted free agents. Though, Yeah,

899
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 11: I wouldn't breathe too much into that, to be honest

900
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:05,360
Speaker 11: with you, Like Deonta Hey, you know, he really I

901
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 11: think has a skill set that's probably pretty similar to

902
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:11,760
Speaker 11: how we used Kareem this past year, and then Naheim

903
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 11: was honestly really more for his return value in his

904
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 11: past game skill set. So I wouldn't I wouldn't read

905
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 11: too much into that.

906
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:26,360
Speaker 15: Yeah, it seems to me like he might be a

907
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 15: little time at the beginning of the season, and maybe

908
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 15: we shouldn't be like acting like he's gonna be.

909
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think I think that, like as we think

910
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 11: about it, until we see him in the next couple

911
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:42,879
Speaker 11: of months, Like I think the next call it three

912
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:45,959
Speaker 11: months there are pretty we'll be pretty telling in terms

913
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 11: of like his his potential readiness for early in the season.

914
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,839
Speaker 11: We are going to be conservative in terms of like

915
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 11: our approach in our in our assessment with building the

916
00:48:57,640 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 11: roster because he is coming off of a.

917
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 5: Major knee injury.

918
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,800
Speaker 11: But I do have to give him a lot of credit,

919
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,919
Speaker 11: like he's he's done a really, really nice job.

920
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 5: But I think we'll have a I think we'll have

921
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 5: a better sense. Don't hold me to it.

922
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 11: I think probably if you ask me that question around

923
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 11: the draft, I may have maybe a little bit more

924
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 11: of a specific answer. We saw a picture last week

925
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 11: the quote in your office about being willing to do

926
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:22,479
Speaker 11: fire and win a Super Bowl.

927
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:23,879
Speaker 4: How long to have that there?

928
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 5: Either since y're one or two, I've had the jobs

929
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 5: something like that.

930
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have.

931
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 11: I have a so I have like a mon I

932
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:39,479
Speaker 11: keep quotes which are things I read, you know, people

933
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:41,920
Speaker 11: I've worked for, and also like my kids have a

934
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:45,880
Speaker 11: section that's just with my with my kids. And so

935
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:48,959
Speaker 11: there there are a couple that stay on the board.

936
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 11: That's one quite Quasy has one. But how he is

937
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:56,920
Speaker 11: a he's a well of wisdom.

938
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 5: I will say that.

939
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 11: So my my other shows, my other favorite, how we

940
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 11: quote I use with my staff now is I work

941
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 11: for how we be like, okay, like here's you know,

942
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:09,800
Speaker 11: here's what I think, here's like the plan and everything

943
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 11: like that. And he goes, okay, good, that sounds great.

944
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:14,719
Speaker 11: Now if you're any good, you'll get it done. He was,

945
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:16,799
Speaker 11: and like and I was like, all right, guy kind

946
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:18,720
Speaker 11: of laughed but like he was not joking. And because

947
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 11: like he always tells a story that Andy Reid used

948
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 11: to say that to him when he was the personnel

949
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 11: director under Andy.

950
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:26,280
Speaker 5: So those are those are those are my two favorite

951
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 5: how he quotes.

952
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:30,359
Speaker 10: And do you feel any urgency but that number one

953
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 10: with your first pick to steer it toward a certain position.

954
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:36,320
Speaker 11: No, And part of it is like you can't dictate

955
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 11: the draft at fifty four, so you have to be flexible.

956
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,839
Speaker 11: It's like it's a little bit you know, like when

957
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 11: we took Martin and was at twenty two. I don't

958
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 11: think anyone thought that we were going to take a

959
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 11: take a corner. But like you just can't be so

960
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:55,280
Speaker 11: rigid or dogmatic. And I've told you guys this before,

961
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 11: Like we don't think of the draft as need necessarily.

962
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 11: We think about it as more like long term investment

963
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:03,880
Speaker 11: in the roster. I think that's a perfect example of

964
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 11: why I.

965
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 15: Was speaking such growing terms of the EON's ability to

966
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:08,840
Speaker 15: call plays.

967
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 14: And I'm just wondering, you know, he's not ready.

968
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 15: To make that decision yet, but when you have some

969
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 15: input in that, I mean, do you not want him

970
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:19,400
Speaker 15: to give it up too early before he sees and

971
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 15: you guys all see what he's really capable of doing.

972
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 5: I I think like I view myself as.

973
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 11: More of a sounding board in that, Like I I

974
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 11: trust his I trust his judgment in that regard.

975
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 5: And I think that with the play calling process, like

976
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 5: Kevin has a self deprecating sense of humor, but he'll

977
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:39,719
Speaker 5: always say, like, Okay, if you know how to like read,

978
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 5: you could be a play caller, I think.

979
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 11: But I think the larger point there, or maybe he

980
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 11: wouldn't say this, but I would say being a play caller,

981
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 11: like the play calling process, it's not Sunday or like

982
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 11: the least amount of work is on Sunday.

983
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 5: A lot of it is the.

984
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 11: Planning that you do throughout the week and the plan

985
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 11: that you put together going.

986
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:01,759
Speaker 5: Into the game.

987
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:05,399
Speaker 11: Uh, there's certainly like a feel element, like I don't

988
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 11: think anyone would dismiss that. But that's like really the

989
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 11: tip of the iceberg, where it's really the process by

990
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 11: which you get to your play sheet and how you

991
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:17,840
Speaker 11: organize it that that really leads to success.

992
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:21,279
Speaker 5: We got we gotta wrap. This is the last one.

993
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 10: Whether you get Brazil, London or doing it all this

994
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 10: what goes into.

995
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 5: That, you know?

996
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 17: How?

997
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:31,280
Speaker 8: What does that process?

998
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 4: Like?

999
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:35,120
Speaker 5: Ask me that draft time and I think I'll have

1000
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:41,440
Speaker 5: hopefully Peter will I have it be able to answer that.

1001
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 5: I really do actually want to give you a good

1002
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:43,799
Speaker 5: answer to that.

1003
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 11: I just we've yeah, and like honestly, like we we

1004
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 11: would love to be in in one of those games,

1005
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 11: like we've made no made no secret about it. I

1006
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 11: don't want to do anything that messes up those chances.

00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:22,280
Speaker 14: the question that's on a lot of Browns fans minds

1030
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:24,600
Speaker 14: and a lot of people's minds, what kind of person,

1031
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:26,560
Speaker 14: in addition to the football player, what kind of person

1032
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:29,240

1033

1034
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:33,240
Speaker 14: every years.

1035
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:38,400
Speaker 9: The person that this organization is again is first and

1036
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 9: foremost a man of God and faith who is about

1037
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 9: increase and in terms of changing over the course of

1038
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:53,359
Speaker 9: the past few years, significantly, four years ago, I got

1039

1040
00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 9: So not just being a man of God but husband

Speaker 10: All right.

1049
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 8: Next to go to Scott. Hey Jamerson, why did you

1050
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:34,799
Speaker 8: like the idea of signing here? Uh?

1051
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:37,960
Speaker 9: Well, first, Scott, I can't really see your face. Some

1052
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 9: people person I can see Mary. But first, first Scott,

1053
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 9: the opportunity and uh and and I'm I'm a I'm

1054
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 9: a firm believer that nothing happens by coincidence. So when

1055
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 9: this opportunity came about, uh, we we locked in uh

1056
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:57,319
Speaker 9: and uh we we communicated, we collaborated, uh and this

1057
00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:02,279
Speaker 9: just felt like a great fit for me, Thank you,

1058
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:03,399
Speaker 9: Thank you.

1059
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 4: All right, thanks for go to Cam.

1060
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:12,600
Speaker 18: Thank Jane's just wondering looking at Deshaun Watson's game and

1061
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:15,840
Speaker 18: what you know of him, what excites you most about

1062
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:18,239
Speaker 18: being able to back him up? And what do you

1063
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 18: think that you'll hopefully impart on him as you work

1064
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:22,160
Speaker 18: with him and the team.

1065
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:26,880
Speaker 9: Well, just the most important thing I believe is the

1066
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 9: relationship between me and Deshaun is in a place where

1067
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:35,840
Speaker 9: it will continue to grow and flourish. And I just

1068
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:39,840
Speaker 9: admire him as a person and definitely as a football player.

1069
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:45,000
Speaker 9: I'll look forward to allowing him to lean on me

1070
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:49,759
Speaker 9: for anything that he needs, and also encourage, encouraging him

1071
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:52,759
Speaker 9: and providing him with different resources that he probably hasn't

1072
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:55,719
Speaker 9: gotten for people that have been in the same room

1073
00:56:56,280 --> 00:57:01,319
Speaker 9: as him, whether that's film studies, film tendencies, whether whether

1074
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:06,360
Speaker 9: that's cooperating with the receiver room, cooperating with the running backs,

1075
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 9: just serving him in this team.

1076
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:09,279
Speaker 8: The best way that I.

1077
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:12,920
Speaker 9: Can, like I said earlier to Mary Kay, is that

1078
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:15,280
Speaker 9: I'm a man of increase. I'm a man of faith

1079
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 9: in God, so I know it is not only a

1080
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:24,600
Speaker 9: passion of mine to lead and to impact those are around.

1081
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 8: Me, But I feel like it's a privilege.

1082
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 9: It's a privilege when I'm provided with an opportunity, like

1083
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 9: I tend not to look ahead of me and tend

1084
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 9: to look behind me.

1085
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:36,240
Speaker 8: I tend to focus on the now.

1086
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 9: So I'm so excited to work with this young man

1087
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:44,120
Speaker 9: and allow him help him be what he is capable

1088
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 9: of being, and that's being one of the best quarterbacks

1089
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 9: in this league.

1090
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 4: Thank you, all right, thanks for going to Tony.

1093
00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:11,040

1094
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 8: Man, you got some mountains. You're out fishing on the lake,

1095

1096
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:27,440

1097
00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:31,760

1099
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:35,439
Speaker 2: Yes?

1100
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 8: I got you, Tony. Okay, Well I'll go.

1101
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,200
Speaker 19: You've mentioned helping Deshan, and obviously I know you're a

1102
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 19: guy that wants to be a starting quarterback again in

1103
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:46,800
Speaker 19: this league.

1104
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 1: But since you.

1105
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 19: Left Tampa, how have you sort of learned to embrace,

1106
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:53,520
Speaker 19: you know, being the backup and everything that goes into it.

1107
00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:54,919
Speaker 5: And the importance of that role.

1108
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:58,480
Speaker 9: Well, the most important thing that I saw Dan and

1109
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:01,439
Speaker 9: I continue to talk about it is just the opportunity.

1110
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:05,120
Speaker 9: The opportunity that we get as as football players. We've

1111
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 9: been playing this this this sports me myself since I've

1112
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:11,520
Speaker 9: been four years old. So the experiences that I've been

1113
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:14,880
Speaker 9: able to accumulate, the experiences that have taught me things,

1114
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 9: uh for for anyone's benefit, Like just the wisdom that

1115
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:22,040
Speaker 9: I have attained, whether it's strategic from a football side

1116
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:26,720
Speaker 9: or whether it's emotional, physical from just a personable side.

1117
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 8: I think from from from the outside looking in.

1118
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 9: A lot of people view football players as these these

1119
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 9: athletes who put themselves on the pedestal. But growing and

1120
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:39,440
Speaker 9: experiencing the highs and lows and learning how to be

1121
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:43,400
Speaker 9: content with every situation that I'm in has just created

1122
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 9: a different type of confidence and a different type of will.

1123
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:51,360
Speaker 8: Knowing that I can impact anybody anywhere.

1124
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:53,920
Speaker 9: Despite the role that I that I that I may

1125
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 9: have and and and and damn man, I have played

1126
00:59:57,040 --> 01:00:00,560
Speaker 9: some incredible roles over the course of my four years

1127
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 9: in New Orleans, which I believe has equipped me for

1128
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 9: anything that this game, that this business has to give me.

1129
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 19: And just on time, I didn't want to ask you, like,

1130
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 19: what do you think is the biggest thing you learned

1131
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 19: in those years in New Orleans?

1132
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 9: Well, the biggest thing that I learned is no matter

1133
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:20,560
Speaker 9: if it's being high or being low, but to remain

1134
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:24,200
Speaker 9: content and present in the now in controlling what you

1135
01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:24,880
Speaker 9: can control.

1136
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:31,200
Speaker 8: Thank you, Thank you, Dan. All right, next we'll go

1137
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 8: to Ashley.

1138
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 20: Wait, Jamis, I just wanted to get into a little

1139
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 20: more you and DeShawn, like when did your paths first

1140
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:42,440
Speaker 20: cross and just talk a little bit about the relationship

1141
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:45,320
Speaker 20: you guys maybe have already re established with you coming

1142
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:46,040
Speaker 20: into this room.

1143
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 9: Well, I passed first first cross back in twenty fourteen.

1144
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:56,800
Speaker 9: We played played Clemson and and just from his success

1145
01:00:57,480 --> 01:01:02,240
Speaker 9: on then, I've always encouraged him, shot him Instagram messages

1146
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 9: every now and then about being proud of him and

1147
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:09,000
Speaker 9: continuing to persevere. Uh and uh, and we just kind

1148
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:11,800
Speaker 9: of kind of just stayed in contact in that way.

1149
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:16,880
Speaker 9: The biggest thing about this relationship is like when, not

1150
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:21,240
Speaker 9: only is this going to be a credible relationship because

1151
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:23,760
Speaker 9: me and him have both had a lot of success

1152
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 9: throughout our football career, but it's going to be a

1153
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:32,400
Speaker 9: relatable experience with us both being African American quarterbacks out

1154
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:35,080
Speaker 9: of the Deep South, right, so I've experienced some of

1155
01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:38,800
Speaker 9: the certain things that he's experienced throughout his career, UH,

1156
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:41,360
Speaker 9: which which allows him to be able to depend on

1157
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:45,200
Speaker 9: me or to lean on me H to to different

1158
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:48,320
Speaker 9: specific avenues that he might want to pursue or any

1159
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:50,920
Speaker 9: questions that he might have. But one of the biggest

1160
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 9: things that I'm I'm bringing to the shun is just

1161
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 9: just really support and encouragement because he has achieved so

1162
01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 9: much and that's why he is this this organization's franchise quarterback. H.

1163
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:05,160
Speaker 8: But but as a lot of us, a lot of

1164
01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:06,960
Speaker 8: us know like we all make this ship go.

1165
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:10,480
Speaker 9: So every role, the role that you guys played, the

1166
01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:13,720
Speaker 9: role that I played, the role that that the radio

1167
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:16,240
Speaker 9: guys play, the coaches play, we're all in this together.

1168
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 9: So the more that we can be focused on the

1169
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:22,960
Speaker 9: same goal and mission and right now, as a really

1170
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:25,000
Speaker 9: every team's mission should be at the beginning of the

1171
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:27,800
Speaker 9: year is to win football games and win the Super

1172
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:31,040
Speaker 9: Bowl right now, so I think that is our main

1173
01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:34,120
Speaker 9: focus as long as we got that same same out

1174
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:37,360
Speaker 9: of UH determination to go bring this city.

1175
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 8: What it deserves.

1176
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:40,680
Speaker 9: Uh, I know we're gonna be great, and I know

1177
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:41,959
Speaker 9: we're gonna we're gonna bum well.

1178
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:45,360
Speaker 20: And then a sort of a follow up on Dan's question.

1179
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:47,520
Speaker 20: I guess, but reading about your time in New Orleans

1180
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:49,640
Speaker 20: and the way like your teammates it seemed like really

1181
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:53,920
Speaker 20: valued having you around and your personality and things like that.

1182
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:56,600
Speaker 20: How important is that to you to like be seen

1183
01:02:56,640 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 20: as a good teammate have that kind of leadership role

1184
01:02:59,240 --> 01:02:59,800
Speaker 20: in a locker.

1185
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:02,080
Speaker 9: Room when you well, when you are who you are

1186
01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 9: every single day is easy.

1187
01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 8: Uh, to be that same person every single day.

1188
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:10,320
Speaker 9: And I think a lot of people they love people

1189
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:14,040
Speaker 9: that are genuine, they love people that are are of

1190
01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:16,000
Speaker 9: increase and optimistic.

1191
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:19,120
Speaker 8: So I try to make sure that I'm focused. I'm

1192
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:20,160
Speaker 8: focused on that space.

1193
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:22,960
Speaker 9: I'm focused on how we can get better and how

1194
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:26,360
Speaker 9: we can get better together. So I'm always looking for

1195
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 9: ways to enhance those around me because I know that

1196
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:32,959
Speaker 9: that is what a leader encompasses.

1197
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:39,000
Speaker 6: All Right, we'll take two more, Tony.

Speaker 14: that that might help you in terms of helping him

1237
01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:49,080
Speaker 14: navigate walking through how to deal with some of this

1238
01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:52,600
Speaker 14: stuff as he moves forward and becomes even a larger

1239
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:54,120
Speaker 14: part of this team in this community.

1240
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:58,600
Speaker 9: Yes, through throughout everyone's life, they are they are given

1241
01:05:58,800 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 9: certain circumstances, conditions and facts.

1242
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:03,480
Speaker 3: Uh.

1243
01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:06,280
Speaker 9: But but just because you are presented with those things

1244
01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 9: doesn't mean that those things have to define you. So

1245
01:06:10,480 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 9: the the resilience and perseverance that the Shun already possesses,

1246
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:17,320
Speaker 9: I believe that we're all going to be able to

1247
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:21,600
Speaker 9: build and move forward through being the best person that

1248
01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:25,040
Speaker 9: we possibly can be, whether that's on the field and

1249
01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:28,600
Speaker 9: off the field, and uh and and I just I

1250
01:06:28,720 --> 01:06:33,160
Speaker 9: just know that some of the things that we all

1251
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:37,440
Speaker 9: go through is necessary. It's necessary for our individual growth.

1252
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:40,360
Speaker 9: It's necessary for us to learn so we can be

1253
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 9: able to apply a better way. Like I said, being

1254
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:45,080
Speaker 9: a father of a five year old and a three

1255
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:48,800
Speaker 9: year old, you see them learning how to walk. I think,

1256
01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:51,800
Speaker 9: I think the walking process is one of the most amazing,

1257
01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:55,120
Speaker 9: amazing processes because people think that like you just get

1258
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:57,400
Speaker 9: up and you just start walking, but you have to

1259
01:06:57,520 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 9: fall down and you have to learn how to get

1260
01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:02,240
Speaker 9: your balance. You have to learn how to continue to

1261
01:07:02,320 --> 01:07:06,240
Speaker 9: grow and grow so you can walk with authority and

1262
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:09,520
Speaker 9: walk with a head up high and an experience of

1263
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:11,680
Speaker 9: the amazing things that life has to offer.

1264

01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:23,320
Speaker 17: I actually heard like here from heard by Cleveland like

1303
01:09:23,439 --> 01:09:25,960
Speaker 17: two years two years ago. I heard They've been trying

1304
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:28,920
Speaker 17: to get me for a while now. But to be

1305
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:31,960
Speaker 17: actually be here, you know, it's a surreal moment. So

1306

Speaker 17: I feel like I'm wanted here. So he's going to

1307

1308
01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:38,160
Speaker 13: How special is that to feel wanted by a team

1309
01:09:38,280 --> 01:09:39,880
Speaker 13: especially and then when you get that chance to be

1310
01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:42,439
Speaker 13: here and meet those people that had tried to get

1311
01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:42,760
Speaker 13: you here.

1312
01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:44,560
Speaker 17: Yeah, you know, as a player, you always want to

1313
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:46,559
Speaker 17: feel you all want to be a place that you

1314
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:49,040
Speaker 17: want to feel welcomed. You want to make you feel

1315
01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:51,280
Speaker 17: like home and want to be wanted. So you know,

1316
01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:54,599
Speaker 17: having that feeling, you know, is great when you look.

1317
01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:58,160
Speaker 13: At this Brown's receiving core. You have Mari, you have Elijah.

1318
01:09:58,240 --> 01:10:00,240
Speaker 13: What do you think you can bring to this group

1319
01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:02,719
Speaker 13: to compliment them and the Browns offense.

1320
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:05,400
Speaker 17: You know, we got we got a great receiver, like

1321
01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:08,680
Speaker 17: you said, Mark Cooper, Elijah Moore, guys that know how

1322
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:10,840
Speaker 17: to get open. And I feel like I could bring

1323
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:13,960
Speaker 17: the same thing to the table, get open, create separation

1324
01:10:14,360 --> 01:10:16,320
Speaker 17: and make plays after the catch. And I feel like

1325
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:19,040
Speaker 17: that we got a great set of receiver cord that

1326
01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:20,800
Speaker 17: could bring all that to the table.

1327
01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:23,880
Speaker 13: Actually, and looking at what DeShawn brings. You know, from

1328
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:26,040
Speaker 13: a quarterback standpoint, Denver, you went through a bunch of

1329
01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:28,880
Speaker 13: different quarterbacks. But what do you think or how do

1330
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:31,680
Speaker 13: you think your skill set can fit with DeShawn and

1331
01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:33,320
Speaker 13: just the way that you two can compliment one.

1332
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:35,559
Speaker 17: Another as well, I think we could compliment each other

1333
01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:39,160
Speaker 17: real well. You know, DeShawn a smart, accurate quarterback that

1334
01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:42,240
Speaker 17: know what to put the ball for receivers to make plays.

1335
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:45,519
Speaker 17: And it's gonna be excitentist. I've been watching DeShawn since

1336
01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:48,320
Speaker 17: he was at Clemson, so watching him play and being

1337
01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:50,120
Speaker 17: actually being able to play with him, so it's gonna

1338
01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:50,719
Speaker 17: be exciting.

1339
01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:52,840
Speaker 13: Have you heard from any of the guys on the

1340
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:55,920
Speaker 13: team after I guess this came out that you were

1341
01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:56,240
Speaker 13: coming here.

1342
01:10:56,320 --> 01:10:59,920
Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, I heard from a few guys, Amari Alive,

1343
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:01,599
Speaker 17: Deshaun Chubb.

1344
01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:04,519
Speaker 13: Yeah, what does that mean to hear from Amari because

1345
01:11:04,520 --> 01:11:07,240
Speaker 13: obviously you both went to Bama and it's just who

1346
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:09,720
Speaker 13: he is as a as a wide receiver. What did

1347
01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:10,679
Speaker 13: it mean to hear from him?

1348
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:13,559
Speaker 17: Yeah, it means a lot, you know, you know over

1349
01:11:13,640 --> 01:11:16,599
Speaker 17: my times that Benma got a chance to catch up

1350
01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:19,639
Speaker 17: with Omar, you know, and become close friends with him,

1351
01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:21,639
Speaker 17: you know. So, I mean, that's the guy that I've

1352
01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:24,120
Speaker 17: been madeling my game after for a long time and

1353

1354
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:29,960
Speaker 17: being able to play alongside him is gonna be exciting?

1355
01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:30,560
Speaker 8: Is that?

1356
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:30,840
Speaker 16: Yeah?

1395
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:11,439
Speaker 13: get into that?

1396
01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:14,400
Speaker 17: I actually got into TikTok because I had to post

1397
01:13:14,439 --> 01:13:17,960
Speaker 17: something for my draft day, so I just started posting

1398
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:21,600
Speaker 17: some stuff on TikTok. I posted a lot of football videos.

1399
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:23,639
Speaker 13: Now that you're here in Cleveland, what do you want

1400

01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:37,559
Speaker 17: Super Bowl. So I might do my best to try

1406
01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:40,479
Speaker 17: to impact the community the best I can, cause I

1407
01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:43,760
Speaker 17: remember when I was, you know, doing bad when I

1408
01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:46,800
Speaker 17: was younger. You know, there's a lot of stuff that

1409
01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:48,840
Speaker 17: people did in the community that helped us me and

1410
01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:51,439
Speaker 17: my family out for the long run. So I want

1411
01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:54,839
Speaker 17: to just be able to give back to the community

1412
01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:56,599
Speaker 17: and be able to do that for others.

01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:52,840
Speaker 2: of changes. We brought back a lot of guys, but

1431
01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:55,840
Speaker 2: a few changes in that linebacker room. And the big

1432
01:14:55,840 --> 01:14:59,640
Speaker 2: one Jordan Hicks, who comes to the Browns from the

1433
01:14:59,640 --> 01:15:02,559
Speaker 2: Minneso out of Vikings and before that was with the

1434
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:06,360
Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles. And boy, a guy that I think is

1435
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:09,559
Speaker 2: going to fit in quite nicely here with Jim Schwartz

1436
01:15:09,640 --> 01:15:11,559
Speaker 2: and company. Have a listen So.

1437
01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:14,880
Speaker 1: What was the what was attractive about signing with the Browns.

1438
01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:21,160
Speaker 16: Yeah, first and foremost what the defense and this team

1439
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:21,879
Speaker 16: was able.

1440
01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:23,479
Speaker 4: To do last year.

1441
01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 16: In the historic nature of that, I know, guys like

1442
01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:35,280
Speaker 16: Rodney McLeod, I know, guys like Dovin, Dalvin Thomlinson, Zadarius

1443
01:15:36,400 --> 01:15:38,880
Speaker 16: have followed their careers and obviously got to play with

1444
01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:43,200
Speaker 16: them personally, and uh, you know, just watching them talking

1445
01:15:43,200 --> 01:15:46,960
Speaker 16: to them obviously is a is a huge part of

1446
01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:51,640
Speaker 16: of free agency and just understanding, uh, you know, different situations.

1447
01:15:51,680 --> 01:15:57,000
Speaker 16: And then ultimately, you know, you you look at Jim

1448
01:15:57,000 --> 01:15:59,400
Speaker 16: Schwartz and and the ability to get back to playing

1449
01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:03,720
Speaker 16: with him, uh, you know, having success with him in

1450
01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:06,760
Speaker 16: Philly and then watching his success here. You know, I

1451
01:16:07,120 --> 01:16:10,920
Speaker 16: think with with the opening, you know, a linebacker and

1452
01:16:11,080 --> 01:16:14,519
Speaker 16: the talent that that this group has and this organization has,

1453
01:16:14,560 --> 01:16:17,280
Speaker 16: I think it's, uh, it's a recipe for something special.

1454
01:16:19,200 --> 01:16:24,320
Speaker 4: Thanks. All right, Next, we're going to marry Kay.

1455
01:16:26,360 --> 01:16:29,400
Speaker 14: Hi Jordan. We just got word or some of us

1456
01:16:29,479 --> 01:16:32,639
Speaker 14: just reported that Devin Bush has signed with the Browns.

1457
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:35,120
Speaker 14: So just wondering have you gotten a chance to kind

1458
01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:37,040
Speaker 14: of talk to him a little bit today? Get excited

1459
01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:39,960
Speaker 14: and you know, what do you guys think that now

1460
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:43,200
Speaker 14: you're going to have with you Devin and j Okay?

1461
01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:48,920
Speaker 16: Okay, Well, I have not gotten to to talk to him,

1462
01:16:49,240 --> 01:16:51,720
Speaker 16: and I wasn't one hundred percent aware of that, So

1463
01:16:52,439 --> 01:16:55,519
Speaker 16: you know, obviously, if if that's the case, that's exciting news.

1464
01:16:56,800 --> 01:16:59,800
Speaker 16: But you look at you look at j Okay and

1465
01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:03,400
Speaker 16: his natural ability. I mean he's all over the field.

1466
01:17:03,439 --> 01:17:05,080
Speaker 16: I've watched him for years now, got a ton of

1467
01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:08,720
Speaker 16: respect for his game and obviously have played against and

1468
01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:11,320
Speaker 16: competed against Devin Bush multiple times.

1469
01:17:11,360 --> 01:17:13,280
Speaker 4: So got a lot of respect for those guys.

1470
01:17:13,280 --> 01:17:15,400
Speaker 16: Excited, you know, to get in the room and get

1471
01:17:15,400 --> 01:17:19,599
Speaker 16: back established, get back to playing football, because you know

1472
01:17:19,840 --> 01:17:20,479
Speaker 16: that's that's what.

1473
01:17:20,439 --> 01:17:20,920
Speaker 4: We do this for.

1474
01:17:21,640 --> 01:17:24,600
Speaker 14: How dynamic do you think that linebacking corps can be

1475
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:26,920
Speaker 14: with you three guys in there leading the way?

1476
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:27,400
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1477
01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:29,600
Speaker 16: Extremely, extremely You know there's a lot of work that

1478
01:17:29,640 --> 01:17:33,200
Speaker 16: goes into it. Obviously, you know it's you got to

1479
01:17:33,240 --> 01:17:35,960
Speaker 16: earn it day in and day out. But I think

1480
01:17:36,080 --> 01:17:37,840
Speaker 16: you know, if a group like that wants it bad enough,

1481
01:17:37,840 --> 01:17:38,800
Speaker 16: you can be as good as you want.

1482
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:42,040
Speaker 5: Thank you, Thank you all.

1483
01:17:42,160 --> 01:17:43,240
Speaker 21: Right, Next we go to Dan.

1484
01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:48,919
Speaker 19: Hey, Jordan, welcome to Cleveland. A little more on Jim Schwartz.

1485
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,360
Speaker 19: What was it about playing for him again and what

1486
01:17:51,360 --> 01:17:53,360
Speaker 19: what did you love about playing for him in Philly.

1487
01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:57,800
Speaker 16: Yeah, obviously we had the success you know, through our

1488
01:17:57,840 --> 01:18:00,679
Speaker 16: through our run there. But one thing about about Jim

1489
01:18:00,720 --> 01:18:04,200
Speaker 16: and his defense is it's concise. Uh, you know your

1490
01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:06,920
Speaker 16: role and you know how how offenses are going to

1491
01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:07,360
Speaker 16: attack you.

1492
01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:10,840
Speaker 4: I just mentioned earlier that one of them.

1493
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:12,680
Speaker 16: You know, when I look back on my career and

1494
01:18:12,720 --> 01:18:14,880
Speaker 16: I look back at the times in the years that

1495
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:17,280
Speaker 16: I played as clear minded as as.

1496
01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:19,519
Speaker 4: I ever have, it was with him. It was those

1497
01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:21,000
Speaker 4: years with with coach Sports.

1498
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:23,519
Speaker 16: And I think that's just you know, due to the

1499
01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:27,160
Speaker 16: preparation that he brings, the understanding of the defense, the

1500
01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:30,160
Speaker 16: understanding of how offenses are going to try, uh to

1501
01:18:30,240 --> 01:18:32,760
Speaker 16: scheme you up, and then just executing at a high level.

1502
01:18:33,600 --> 01:18:35,280
Speaker 19: And then obviously, you know, you mentioned a guy like

1503
01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:39,200
Speaker 19: Rodney who was brought here in part for his leadership ability.

1504
01:18:40,040 --> 01:18:42,599
Speaker 19: I'm assuming that's something that you want to bring here too,

1505
01:18:42,720 --> 01:18:45,280
Speaker 19: and that's something that Jim wants you to bring as well.

1506
01:18:45,880 --> 01:18:48,960
Speaker 16: Absolutely. I mean it's it's kind of been my role

1507
01:18:49,040 --> 01:18:51,000
Speaker 16: since I was in Philly as kind of more of

1508
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:54,080
Speaker 16: a young guy still took on that that leadership role.

1509
01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:58,400
Speaker 16: But you know, I don't force anything. I tried to

1510
01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:01,479
Speaker 16: just be who I am, to be authentic. I try

1511
01:19:01,720 --> 01:19:05,760
Speaker 16: to be genuine, and you know, I'm here to help.

1512
01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:11,240
Speaker 16: I'm here to aid and other people's maturation and grow

1513
01:19:11,479 --> 01:19:13,959
Speaker 16: all our you know, all our IQs and.

1514
01:19:13,720 --> 01:19:15,000
Speaker 4: And our ability to play together.

1515
01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:17,600
Speaker 16: And uh, you know, I think that when you have

1516
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:21,800
Speaker 16: eleven guys on a defense, we're playing uh with that

1517
01:19:21,920 --> 01:19:24,479
Speaker 16: type of mindset to serve and to help each other, uh,

1518
01:19:24,600 --> 01:19:27,960
Speaker 16: to to grow to excel. You know, I think that's

1519
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:30,759
Speaker 16: what what makes defense, you know, certain defenses special.

1520
01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:32,240
Speaker 4: So again I'm just.

1521
01:19:32,160 --> 01:19:36,040
Speaker 16: Here to here to be me, do my role, you know,

1522
01:19:36,120 --> 01:19:38,360
Speaker 16: and and obviously fit in well with with this team.

1523
01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:39,439
Speaker 4: Thank you.

1524
01:19:39,800 --> 01:19:42,759
Speaker 14: Yeah, all right, Next to go to Ashley.

1525
01:19:44,840 --> 01:19:48,160
Speaker 20: Hey, Jordan, another question about Jim, because I know Rodney

1526
01:19:48,200 --> 01:19:50,599
Speaker 20: talked about this some last year, but you know, knowing

1527
01:19:50,680 --> 01:19:53,120
Speaker 20: he would kind of you know, stepped away from that

1528
01:19:53,280 --> 01:19:56,320
Speaker 20: decordinator role, especially when he was going through his health issues.

1529
01:19:56,360 --> 01:19:58,960
Speaker 20: To see him come back last year in this deep

1530
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:01,439
Speaker 20: defense perform as well as it did, Like, were you

1531
01:20:01,560 --> 01:20:03,920
Speaker 20: surprised at all that Gim like had that kind of

1532
01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:05,439
Speaker 20: performance in him, and what does it mean to you,

1533
01:20:05,479 --> 01:20:07,559
Speaker 20: just as his former player to see him have that

1534
01:20:07,640 --> 01:20:08,519
Speaker 20: kind of success again.

1535
01:20:08,880 --> 01:20:11,599
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean it's always it's awesome to see, right,

1536
01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:15,360
Speaker 16: because you always follow the guys you played for. You know,

1537
01:20:15,560 --> 01:20:18,479
Speaker 16: you follow, you follow teammates, you follow teams, you follow

1538
01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:23,040
Speaker 16: defensive coordinators and coaches. So to see him come back

1539
01:20:23,080 --> 01:20:25,240
Speaker 16: and you know, have the type of success that he

1540
01:20:25,320 --> 01:20:28,400
Speaker 16: has is not surprising, knowing who he is, knowing what

01:20:57,479 --> 01:20:59,800
Speaker 16: I'm going into year ten, right, I want to win.

1550
01:21:00,320 --> 01:21:02,519
Speaker 16: I played on teams that don't win, and it's it's

1551
01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:03,599
Speaker 16: not fun to play this game.

1552
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:05,160
Speaker 4: So when you're on an.

1553
01:21:05,160 --> 01:21:09,040
Speaker 16: Organization that takes it as serious, you know, as the

1554
01:21:09,040 --> 01:21:14,200
Speaker 16: Browns do, and have an expectation of doing more than

1555
01:21:14,240 --> 01:21:15,360
Speaker 16: what is just acceptable.

1556
01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:18,920
Speaker 4: Uh, you know, that's that's what that's what good teams do.

1557
01:21:19,920 --> 01:21:21,400
Speaker 8: I'm sure it's been a whirlwind for you.

1558
01:21:21,479 --> 01:21:23,200
Speaker 20: But since you mentioned some of the guys you've played

1559
01:21:23,240 --> 01:21:24,879
Speaker 20: with in the past, I want to ask you specifically.

1560
01:21:24,920 --> 01:21:27,519
Speaker 20: You haven't played with j Okay yet, but I wonder

1561
01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:29,360
Speaker 20: what you think about him so far if you've had

1562
01:21:29,360 --> 01:21:31,240
Speaker 20: a chance to talk to him, since he's the one

1563
01:21:31,280 --> 01:21:31,840
Speaker 20: coming back.

1564
01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:34,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I haven't haven't talked to him yet.

1565
01:21:35,160 --> 01:21:39,840
Speaker 16: Very excited too, but I've I've seen his game, you know,

1566
01:21:39,920 --> 01:21:44,320
Speaker 16: over the years, just continue to excel. And you watch him,

1567
01:21:44,360 --> 01:21:46,360
Speaker 16: He's all over the place, right, you see a guy

1568
01:21:46,439 --> 01:21:49,400
Speaker 16: and you watch you put on film and you say,

1569
01:21:49,439 --> 01:21:53,040
Speaker 16: who's who stands out right? Obviously there's certain people on defense,

1570
01:21:53,080 --> 01:21:54,560
Speaker 16: and he's one of them.

1571
01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:55,519
Speaker 4: Just his ability to.

1572
01:21:55,560 --> 01:21:58,720
Speaker 16: Understand, you know, how to attack the ball, how to go,

1573
01:22:00,160 --> 01:22:03,600
Speaker 16: how to how to just use his natural ability his

1574
01:22:03,720 --> 01:22:07,439
Speaker 16: instincts to find the ball right. And obviously the speed

1575
01:22:07,479 --> 01:22:10,040
Speaker 16: and strength is out of the you know, God given

1576
01:22:10,160 --> 01:22:13,120
Speaker 16: something you can't teach. So uh, excited to get around.

1577
01:22:13,160 --> 01:22:14,559
Speaker 16: I'm excited to get around the.

1578
01:22:14,680 --> 01:22:18,160
Speaker 4: Entire group, all right.

1579
01:22:18,200 --> 01:22:22,720
Speaker 12: Next to go to Chris Hey, Jordan, I wanted to

1580
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:24,360
Speaker 12: ask you about you went through.

1581
01:22:24,400 --> 01:22:28,120
Speaker 4: You had an injury scare last year that you went through.

1582
01:22:28,479 --> 01:22:33,080
Speaker 7: Can you describe going through that and how that you know,

1583
01:22:34,040 --> 01:22:36,879
Speaker 7: you know, what that did for you, your perspective wise,

1584
01:22:37,120 --> 01:22:39,680
Speaker 7: and and everything just sort of, you know, as you

1585
01:22:39,720 --> 01:22:43,160
Speaker 7: get later into your career, you know, kind of give

1586
01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:47,840
Speaker 7: you a different outlook on on on getting to play

1587
01:22:47,880 --> 01:22:48,400
Speaker 7: this game.

1588
01:22:50,200 --> 01:22:50,439
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1589
01:22:50,479 --> 01:22:53,040
Speaker 16: I mean I've had my fair share of injuries throughout

1590
01:22:53,080 --> 01:22:57,120
Speaker 16: the years, you know, and if it's been able to

1591
01:22:57,160 --> 01:22:57,720
Speaker 16: bounce back.

1592
01:22:58,240 --> 01:22:58,360
Speaker 14: Uh.

1593
01:22:58,760 --> 01:23:03,760
Speaker 16: You know, last year I had compartment syndrome, which is

1594
01:23:04,600 --> 01:23:09,360
Speaker 16: can be very serious. I got emergency surgery basically to

1595
01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:14,800
Speaker 16: relieve the pressure in my shin, and when I woke

1596
01:23:14,880 --> 01:23:16,479
Speaker 16: up on the table, I was told by the doctor

1597
01:23:16,520 --> 01:23:18,559
Speaker 16: it was a good thing we cut it open because

1598
01:23:19,479 --> 01:23:22,759
Speaker 16: I could have lost my leg right at the worst,

1599
01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:27,160
Speaker 16: you know, and then from there it's like, Okay, you

1600
01:23:27,200 --> 01:23:30,160
Speaker 16: could have had muscle damage, you could add nerve damage,

1601
01:23:30,160 --> 01:23:32,000
Speaker 16: you could have had a whole list of.

1602
01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:32,840
Speaker 4: Things on top of that.

1603
01:23:32,960 --> 01:23:37,800
Speaker 16: So everything everything went exactly, you know, the way you

1604
01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:40,679
Speaker 16: could ever hope for it, right, But you know, being

1605
01:23:40,720 --> 01:23:43,559
Speaker 16: a veteran in this league and seeing a lot of injuries.

1606
01:23:43,680 --> 01:23:46,480
Speaker 16: Is the first time I've ever seen that one firsthand,

1607
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:50,000
Speaker 16: and so you know, things definitely get put into perspective.

1608
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:52,559
Speaker 16: I've got three children, i got a wife, i got

1609
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:56,760
Speaker 16: a family, right that, you know, if something would have

1610
01:23:56,800 --> 01:23:59,920
Speaker 16: gone south, right, you think about those those thoughts of like, man,

1611
01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:04,040
Speaker 16: I never would have imagined, right, and so count your blessings.

1612
01:24:04,160 --> 01:24:04,400
Speaker 4: You know.

1613
01:24:04,600 --> 01:24:07,240
Speaker 16: It puts things into perspective of how lucky you are

1614
01:24:07,880 --> 01:24:10,400
Speaker 16: every time you step out there on the field to

1615
01:24:10,439 --> 01:24:13,040
Speaker 16: be able to play the game that so many people

1616
01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:17,160
Speaker 16: love to watch and find enjoyment in, you know, and

1617
01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:19,160
Speaker 16: that we find enjoyment in. Right, We wouldn't be able

1618
01:24:19,160 --> 01:24:22,679
Speaker 16: to play this game if we didn't. So yeah, definitely.

1619
01:24:22,880 --> 01:24:24,680
Speaker 16: But you know, for me, there was a there was

1620
01:24:24,720 --> 01:24:26,760
Speaker 16: a lot of there was a lot of opportunity to

1621
01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:29,880
Speaker 16: show the amount of grit and the amount of fight

1622
01:24:31,479 --> 01:24:33,320
Speaker 16: you know that I try to instill in my kids

1623
01:24:33,320 --> 01:24:37,360
Speaker 16: and my family through that injury, you know, and was

1624
01:24:37,400 --> 01:24:39,360
Speaker 16: able to get back, you know, I was up running

1625
01:24:39,400 --> 01:24:41,559
Speaker 16: around and in a couple of weeks and was able

1626
01:24:41,560 --> 01:24:43,080
Speaker 16: to get back on the field for the last three

1627
01:24:43,120 --> 01:24:43,920
Speaker 16: games of the season.

1628
01:24:44,600 --> 01:24:45,519
Speaker 4: Even going through that.

1629
01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:47,720
Speaker 16: So a lot of learning, a lot of a lot

1630
01:24:47,720 --> 01:24:50,880
Speaker 16: of perspective, but you know, hopefully you know, was able

1631
01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:52,639
Speaker 16: to navigate that the right way.

1632
01:24:53,320 --> 01:24:55,759
Speaker 7: How much did your teammates or a rally around you,

1633
01:24:55,760 --> 01:24:57,479
Speaker 7: you know, while you were going through it and then

1634
01:24:57,640 --> 01:24:58,879
Speaker 7: you know when when you came.

1635
01:24:58,680 --> 01:25:01,200
Speaker 4: Back, Yeah, quite a bit, right. It was emotional. It

1636
01:25:01,240 --> 01:25:02,800
Speaker 4: was emotional for for a lot of people.

1637
01:25:02,840 --> 01:25:05,760
Speaker 16: And so you know, we had a great, great group

1638
01:25:05,760 --> 01:25:09,360
Speaker 16: of guys out there, really close knit, and so you know,

1639
01:25:09,400 --> 01:25:10,760
Speaker 16: you lean on them. You lean on them when you

1640
01:25:10,800 --> 01:25:12,920
Speaker 16: can't be around the facility as much as you want to.

1641
01:25:13,880 --> 01:25:15,960
Speaker 16: You hear the stories of what's going on in the facility,

1642
01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:16,879
Speaker 16: what's going on around.

1643
01:25:16,680 --> 01:25:20,559
Speaker 4: The building, and keeps you going. Hey. Thanks absolutely.

1644
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:26,080
Speaker 21: All right, Next to go to Spencer, Andy je and

1645
01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:29,479
Speaker 21: welcome to Cleveland. I know we've talked a lot about

1646
01:25:29,560 --> 01:25:33,559
Speaker 21: Jim and you mentioned following him after after you left Philly.

1647
01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:36,720
Speaker 21: How much did you keep in touch with him and

1648
01:25:36,760 --> 01:25:39,040
Speaker 21: did you ever envision yourself getting a chance to play

1649
01:25:39,040 --> 01:25:39,599
Speaker 21: for him again?

1650
01:25:40,040 --> 01:25:43,280
Speaker 16: Yeah, you know, I didn't and we didn't. We didn't

1651
01:25:43,360 --> 01:25:45,400
Speaker 16: keep in touch a ton. I saw him a couple

1652
01:25:45,439 --> 01:25:49,280
Speaker 16: of times, saw him and saw him in Tennessee when

1653
01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:53,680
Speaker 16: he was helping out over there. So never, never, necessarily

1654
01:25:53,680 --> 01:25:58,320
Speaker 16: thought this day would come. Uh, you know, being ten

1655
01:25:58,400 --> 01:26:01,360
Speaker 16: years in the NFL, it's hard to imagine what next

1656
01:26:01,439 --> 01:26:03,920
Speaker 16: year is going to look like. Right, I've been this

1657
01:26:04,040 --> 01:26:06,519
Speaker 16: my fourth team now, and you never can predict what's

1658
01:26:06,560 --> 01:26:10,000
Speaker 16: going to happen. So, uh, you know, you keep everything,

1659
01:26:10,320 --> 01:26:13,320
Speaker 16: everything open, and you know, when an opportunity like this

1660
01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:15,519
Speaker 16: presents itself, I can't say no.

1661
01:26:16,760 --> 01:26:19,320
Speaker 21: And I know you had to sort of watch the

1662
01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:22,280
Speaker 21: Eagle Super Bowl Super Bowl run on the from the

1663
01:26:22,320 --> 01:26:27,040
Speaker 21: IR But Jim last year talked about just he compared

1664
01:26:27,080 --> 01:26:29,200
Speaker 21: the locker room here in Cleveland this past season to

1665
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:32,360
Speaker 21: the locker room that year. Just what do you kind

1666
01:26:32,360 --> 01:26:35,720
Speaker 21: of remember and what stands out about the culture in

1667
01:26:35,760 --> 01:26:37,680
Speaker 21: Philly that year and do you get a sense that

1668
01:26:37,720 --> 01:26:40,160
Speaker 21: there's sort of similar vibes here in Cleveland.

1669
01:26:40,439 --> 01:26:41,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I definitely.

1670
01:26:41,560 --> 01:26:44,400
Speaker 16: You know, I've heard amazing things about the culture here

1671
01:26:45,200 --> 01:26:48,280
Speaker 16: and just from my few hours in the building, you

1672
01:26:48,320 --> 01:26:51,479
Speaker 16: can tell it's something special. So you know, it's hard

1673
01:26:51,479 --> 01:26:56,599
Speaker 16: to compare, right with it being I haven't met really

1674
01:26:56,640 --> 01:27:00,280
Speaker 16: any of the guys yet. But at the same time,

1675
01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:04,080
Speaker 16: you know that culture within a building can it can

1676
01:27:05,160 --> 01:27:07,800
Speaker 16: propel you to win the type of games that a

1677
01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:09,720
Speaker 16: lot of people don't expect you to win, right, and

1678
01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:13,960
Speaker 16: that that was the case for us in seventeen. You know,

1679
01:27:14,040 --> 01:27:15,880
Speaker 16: a lot of us were hurt, right. It wasn't it

1680
01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:17,640
Speaker 16: wasn't just me. It was Carson Wentz who was on

1681
01:27:17,680 --> 01:27:20,320
Speaker 16: an MVP run. It was you know, Jason Peters and

1682
01:27:20,400 --> 01:27:23,559
Speaker 16: Darren Sprolls and Chris Marigus, it was it was a

1683
01:27:23,600 --> 01:27:26,680
Speaker 16: whole list of guys who were impactful on that team.

1684
01:27:27,120 --> 01:27:29,720
Speaker 16: And you know, the guys that stepped up believed in

1685
01:27:29,760 --> 01:27:31,960
Speaker 16: each other, right, and and there was a culture that

1686
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:35,680
Speaker 16: was built in that it didn't matter who was on

1687
01:27:35,720 --> 01:27:37,479
Speaker 16: the sideline, didn't matter who was on the field. You know,

1688
01:27:37,520 --> 01:27:40,200
Speaker 16: they were going to ride for each other. So uh yeah,

1689
01:27:40,240 --> 01:27:44,960
Speaker 16: that's that's that's how important culture is, and that's why,

1690
