00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 3: When was the last time that you had every single day?

16
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 3: Like the worst day is probably today. It's in the

17
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 3: mid six it's in upper sixties and sunny. That's gonna

18
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 3: be the worst day of the weekend.

19
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 2: And then it gets really hot like next week, let's

20
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: go like eighty eight. Is that where we're at? I

21
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 2: thought I saw for next week? Okay, so yeah, we're

22
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 2: we're in our sixties today, but it's sunny, it's gorgeous.

23
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 2: And then next yeah, next week you get your your

24
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 2: mid eighties start to pop in there.

25
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 4: Perfect get a little bit of that going on. So

26
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 4: it's wonderful.

27
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 2: This is uh, this is one of my favorite weekends

28
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 2: in the state of Ohio. We always go up to

29
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 2: the lake. We got a bunch of lacrosse this weekend,

30
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: so we'll be doing that. But we always go up

31
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 2: to the lake and it feels like it's almost like

32
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 2: Ohioan's have come out of their homes. Yeah, and we'll

33
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 2: be out for three months and then it'll be football

34
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: season like that. We don't want to rush that, but

35
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: this is one of my favorite weekends of the year

36
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: on the calendar.

37
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 3: When you get it, it's great again. Like in the past,

38
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 3: you always have a day where it might rain or

39
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 3: a day where it's you know, it's a little cooler

40
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 3: and it's not so it's great weather. That is not

41
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 3: going to be the case this weekend. I think anywhere

42
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 3: you go this weekend, prepare for long lines, lots of people.

43
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 3: I think everybody's going to be out and about this weekend,

44
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 3: which is great. Get out and enjoy it because, as

45
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 3: you said, it's not like we get this twelve months

46
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 3: out of the year.

47
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,119
Speaker 4: No, no, we don't.

48
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: We're basically sick from November to April, or in the

49
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 2: case of my kids, November to mid May. Yeah, and

50
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: so like this is the time where we thrive a

51
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 2: little bit, and it's a time this has been no

52
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 2: you think about this Browns team. This has been a

53
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 2: week of really important work getting done and a glimpse

54
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 2: into what Kevin is trying to do here, especially with

55
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 2: this offense. Marky's Goodwen obviously had a big day when

56
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 2: the media was here earlier in the week, and then

57
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,399
Speaker 2: we'll get into mandatory mini camp here in a couple

58
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 2: of weeks. But in terms of laying that groundwork, getting

59
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: that offensive established, Watson looked really good this week.

60
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 4: He's fun it nicely.

61
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: The thing that jumped out to me both off I'm

62
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 2: sorry on the defensive line gibe and then in the

63
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 2: past catching situation, a lot more size in both of

64
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 2: those rooms that we're used to sing.

65
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 3: A lot more size. I mean, the offensive line looking good,

66
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 3: but defensively a lot bigger from the guys you drafted,

67
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 3: to the guys you've signed free agency, to the guys

68
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 3: you've traded for. Zadarius Smith, you are bigger across the board.

69
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 3: Jim Schwartz has to be loving every single minute of it.

70
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 3: And you mentioned big on the lines. I would be

71
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 3: remiss if you didn't talk about the tight end position.

72
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Akins is gonna be We talked about that with

73
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: Tyvius yesterday on the show, Like.

74
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 4: We played his presser for you guys.

75
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 2: He's he's an impressive dude, and you start pairing him

76
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 2: with the Chief and now you got some stuff there

77
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 2: where they're gonna be in a rotation. Harrison Bryant still there.

78
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: He's a big guy too, So you know, I think

79
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 2: probably one thing that happened this offseason was it was

80
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: a conversation of like you know, with Deshaun and Kevin,

81
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 2: like what do we need here?

82
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 4: What type of weapons?

83
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: And I think the message is pretty clear that Deshaun

84
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 2: Watson looks big to because he's got a lot of

85
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: them now to throw to.

86
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 3: Cedric Tillman, Yeah, you've drafted very very big sixty three

87
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 3: sixty four.

88
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 4: Absolutely.

89
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 3: I mean you've got some guys that a can get

90
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 3: down the field, can catch the football, and are big targets. Yeah,

91
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 3: and that's lots and lots of weapons here. For Deshaun

92
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 3: Watson and more importantly for Alex van Pelt and Kevin

93
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 3: Stefanski as they figure out what plays they're going to

94
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 3: be running here in twenty twenty.

95
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, just the look of it. I mean, we're going

96
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 2: to be out of the gun a lot more. We're

97
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: going to be throwing it a lot more. Of course,

98
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 2: you're going to be able to rely on Nick Chubb

99
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: when the weather is bad, but it's not going to

100
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 2: be an offense that's predicated on that run game. And

101
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 2: I know that, you know, for a lot of our fans,

102
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 2: you know, because Nick has been so good, there's this

103
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 2: propensity to you know, run the ball, run the ball,

104
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 2: establish the run, all of that. But that when you

105
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: think of the arms race that is the AFC, there's

106
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 2: a there's a limit to that. You've got to be

107
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 2: able to throw the ball when the other team knows

108
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 2: you're going to throw the ball, and we ought to

109
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 2: be able to do that. We have the weapons for that,

110
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 2: We have the quarterback for that. And that jumped out

111
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: to me. You mentioned Zadarias Smith wan Thornhill too. Two

112
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 2: new guys have been pumped into the mix here. Obviously

113
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 2: impressive on the field. But I think what jumped out

114
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: to me was in their two availabilities. Where there's some

115
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 2: juice to those guys is in terms of off the field,

116
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 2: there's a little bit of accountability. There's an excitement to them,

117
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 2: kind of a breath of fresh air for both of

118
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 2: those guys in those rooms.

119
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 3: I would also include this guy McLoud. Yeah, at safety.

120
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 3: I mean, he had the interception the other day in

121
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 3: seven on seven's during OTAs and no one knows Jim

122
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 3: Schwartz's defense better than he does. And that safety room's

123
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 3: got a lot more depth and a lot more help

124
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 3: for Grant Delpit.

125
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's the I think the only thing left.

126
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 2: I mean, you take anything. I mean we talked about

127
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: this earlier in the week, like if DeAndre Hopkins becomes available, yes,

128
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 2: you take him and you figure it out later. And

129
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 2: the same is true with a lot of different positions.

130
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 2: But I do wonder if they will want to add

131
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 2: another veteran to the middle of the defensive line. You know,

132
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 2: by the time you get to camp, that could be

133
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 2: something that could be out there. But I think they're

134
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 2: very comfortable with where they are with with Sadarius in here,

135
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 2: with the two safety editions. This has it's it's a

136
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 2: team that passes the look test.

137
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 3: Now it does. We've talked about we talk about it constantly.

138
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 3: It's the arms race. Well is there room for another arm?

139
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 5: Sure?

140
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 3: Is there is there a room for another body? Absolutely?

141
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 3: But are you comfortable with what you have going into

142
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three? I think absolutely? Is the is the

143
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 3: answer to it. I mean I feel real good on

144
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 3: the defensive line. Maybe some interior defensive help and that,

145
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 3: and that could still come here in the coming weeks

146
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 3: because you've freed up a little bit of money. But

147
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 3: don't forget you freed up the money. Then you acquired

148
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 3: Zadarius Smithton while you redid his contract. You're on the

149
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 3: hook for ten million here, so you know that that

150
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 3: that's a big chunk of change. So I like where

151
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 3: we're at. Offensively, I think you're wide outs. I mean

152
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 3: you're six or seventy. We talked about it with Tyvas

153
00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 3: Marquis good when maybe the forgotten man, Yeah, but I

154
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 3: don't think he's going to be forgotten for very long.

155
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 3: Based on what you saw the other day.

156
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was illuminating. We talked about him, but we

157
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 2: always talked about him. From the perspective of his football

158
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 2: playing career in San Francisco and Seattle and Buffalo and

159
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 2: everywhere else and kind of the pops he gave those offense,

160
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 2: and we talked about that at great length, But it

161
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 2: wasn't until Tivi has mentioned that yesterday that I guess

162
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 2: I didn't take the time to look into his pass

163
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 2: from a pure speed standpoint, and that he's one of

164
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 2: the fastest guys in the league. That he has at

165
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: world class speed and that shown in the wide receiver

166
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 2: routing on Wednesday.

167
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's he was constantly open, he was

168
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 3: constantly finding the seams. Yeah, and Deshaun Watson immediately had

169
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 3: a nice little chemistry going with him. Now, I think

170
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 3: it's been great in these offseason workouts. And again they're volunteer, Yeah,

171
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 3: so you don't have to be here if you've got

172
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 3: conflicts whatever. But like Amari Cooper has been here for

173
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 3: almost every single workout, Like Elijah Moore has been here.

174
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 3: I mean Goodwin's been here. Now you have Cedric Tillman

175
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 3: and David Bell guy either the year ago. I think

176
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 3: there's still high expectations for you know, Anthony Schwartz is

177
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 3: here I.

178
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 4: Mean, yeah, you can't.

179
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: I think the other thing too, I mean you bring

180
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 2: up shorts, Yeah, I think all those guys you know,

181
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 2: have been on board with Watson. I mean, all those

182
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 2: guys went down to Puerto Rico. I think the one

183
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 2: thing that is abundantly clear this week and really was

184
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 2: abundantly clear this whole off season, but we saw it,

185
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 2: you know, kind of in practice out on the practice

186
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 2: field this week, was that we're not waiting for anybody

187
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 2: to develop anymore. Like we don't have time for that.

188
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 2: Like it's time to go. There's a tremendous amount of

189
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 2: pressure on the staff, on the players, on the front office,

190
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: on ownership, on everybody who's associated to to field a winner,

191
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: to be a team that contends in the AFC North,

192
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 2: to be a team that can make a run in

193
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 2: the postseason. That's that's where you're at. You you have

194
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 2: a bunch of your best players in their prime. They're

195
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 2: being compensated. It's time to go, and so we don't

196
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 2: have time to wait for to see if somebody can

197
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 2: into something that you hope that he would be when

198
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 2: you drafted him. We're long past that point. So it's

199
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 2: time to go a little bit, and I think I

200
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 2: think that part became abundantly clear this week as well.

201
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 2: We knew it all off season. It's been obvious with

202
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 2: the moves, but also just seeing the way that it

203
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 2: was put into practice on the field, you got a

204
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 2: little taste of if you're not on this train moving forward,

205
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 2: then hop off or we'll push you off, because there's

206
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 2: no time to waste.

207
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 3: Winning is now. It is not next season. It is

208
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 3: not building for the future. The future is now. And

209
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 3: that if you need further proof of that, just look

210
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 3: at what Andre Berry has done here recently. Yeah, with

211
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 3: the trades he's made for more and Zadarius Smith and

212
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 3: the players he's brought in here to solidify this roster. So,

213
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 3: I mean, one week of OTAs is over. Now you

214
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 3: got another week coming up, and then you have mandatory

215
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 3: mini camp. I mean you've essentially got seven days with

216
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 3: the guys. Yeah, eight days over the course of the

217
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 3: next two weeks, and then and then that's it.

218
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 2: Training camp, well, and training camps about six weeks later,

219
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 2: because as you know, you've been down at the Greenbrier.

220
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 4: Soon enough, you're gonna blink.

221
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 2: You're gonna be down there on July twenty second or

222
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 2: twenty first, whenever that thing gets started. So the groundwork

223
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 2: being laid. I think it was a very good first week.

224
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 2: I know that there's a lot of tension on who

225
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 2: wasn't here this week. I think based on who those

226
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 2: people are, don't worry about it. I tried lay it

227
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 2: out for people on Wednesday. Obviously everybody would want everybody here,

228
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 2: But at the same time, there's got to be an understanding.

229
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 3: Of they'll all be here in a week. Yeah, they'll

230
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 3: all be here in a week for mandatory mini camp. Yeah,

231
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 3: and I think everybody will be ready to go. And

232
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 3: I would expect to see some really good battles that

233
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 3: week of Mini camp.

234
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree. I think you'll see a lot

235
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: of that stuff. In terms of on the show today,

236
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 2: some stuff to look forward to. I mentioned jan Thornhill

237
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 2: really impressive. You're gonna hear what he had to say

238
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 2: about Beleet being a Cleveland Brown. Elijah Moore, they feel

239
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 2: like they stole him. They feel like that's first round

240
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 2: talent that they were able to poach. It has not

241
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 2: been materialized yet. He has flashed a little bit here.

242
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 2: He has not had the start the good ones had,

243
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 2: but he has flashed a little bit, so we'll see,

244
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 2: you know, what the next couple of weeks look like

245
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 2: for him. We will have backstage passes, so these are Z's.

246
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 2: This is with Dorian Thompson, Robinson and Big than Exclusive Jones,

247
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 2: So we'll have those exclusive one on ones with for

248
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 2: you coming up on the program as well. In addition

249
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 2: to that, we have some schedule fun from the BPA.

250
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,719
Speaker 2: Of course you got that in here naturally.

251
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 3: As you would Donovan and I. The Voice breaks down

252
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 3: to the Brown schedule literally right after it came out.

253
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 2: I mean you're talking about the Voice breaking anything down. Yeah,

254
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 2: I just I like when he breaks down what he's

255
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 2: feeding his horses. So when if he's doing the schedule,

256
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 2: then that's the even bigger win. And then of course

257
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 2: Rich Eisen on the passing of the Great Jim Brown.

258
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 2: This you know is a week ago today where we

259
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 2: found out and now uh it's been a little bit

260
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 2: more than a week and so proper homage paid to

261
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 2: the Great Jim Brown for rich Isisen, who's a great

262
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 2: friend of the program.

Speaker 6: day when you got the call. What's it been like

280
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 6: a couple of weeks since before you got here for

281
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 6: Rookie Minniicamp.

282
00:12:55,440 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 7: It's been super fast paced, moving really fast, but I'm

283
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 7: enjoying it all, trying to stay president every moment. Just

284
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 7: got here for Rookie Minie Camp and I'm itching to

285
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 7: get on the field, but I know that classroom is

286
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 7: very important to make sure you're taking notes and studying

287
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 7: and watching tape, So trying to dive into that as

288
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 7: much as possible. But again, it's all football now. I'm

289
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 7: in the NFL, so I get to focus on ball

290
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 7: and I love to do that.

291
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 6: So did you and Cedric get together in the interim

292
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 6: before coming back out here?

293
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 8: Oh?

294
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.

295
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 7: We definitely had to run some routes and make sure

296
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 7: that he's up to speed and I'm up to speed

297
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 7: with him because we haven't played with each other since

298
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 7: we were in high school.

299
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 9: So was that fun?

300
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 6: It was super fun, Like you know, you're going, hey,

301
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 6: we're going to go to our NFL team now together.

302
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 7: I was praying, praying that I had at least some

303
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 7: type of familiar faces in the building. Luckily, here I

304
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 7: have about four or five ye with Cedric, Bubba and Dimitric.

305
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 7: So definitely coming here and having those familiar faces definitely

306
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 7: eases my transition and makes it a lot easier for me.

307
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 9: But I'm just excited to be here for sure.

308
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 6: So you talk about getting out on the field, that's

309
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 6: what you love to do, right, play the game. You

310
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 6: know at UCLA your career, I mean, you were the

311
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 6: face of the franchise, all time leading passer in school history, passing, touchdowns,

312
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 6: total yards, all of it. Then you come here and

313
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 6: this is now the rookie mini camp and Deshaun Watson

314
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 6: is here. But you get to come out here and

315
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 6: try to say here's who I am, Here's what I

316
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 6: can mean to this organization.

317
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 9: Is that fun?

318
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 6: Kind of that transition of you know, you were the

319
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 6: man and then kind of starting over and earning that

320
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 6: opportunity again.

321
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, my biggest thing has always been to embraced challenges.

322
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 7: So for me to come in here and having Deshaun

323
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 7: in front of me as well as the rest of

324
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 7: the quarterbacks and may being on the bottom of the

325
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 7: depth chart is probably the biggest challenge I've had in

326
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 7: my career. So it's gonna be super fun for me.

327
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 7: I'm looking forward to to learning those guys, making sure

328
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 7: that Deshaun has everything he needs to be successful this year,

329
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 7: and make sure that I'm helping out that quarterback room

330
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 7: as the best I can, as well as the rest

331
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 7: of the team.

332
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 6: So you mentioned here last year you were done with school,

333
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 6: right going in here last year, so you said, I

334
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 6: got to just focus on ball. Sixty nine percent completion's

335
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 6: career best for you had a great, great final season,

336
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 6: so you kind of have the head start on a

337
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 6: lot of these guys of like what it's like to

338
00:14:59,000 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 6: be a pro in a.

339
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 7: Sense, right, No, for sure, for sure, that's that was

340
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 7: kind of the mindset and the goal going into my

341
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 7: senior year or my extra year, my fifth year with COVID.

342
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 7: That was the goal for sure, was making sure that

343
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 7: I'm checking off the boxes off the field as well

344
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 7: as on the field, obviously, but more so off the field,

345
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 7: because if all that stuff you have to worry about,

346
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 7: then you can't worry about bald and it doesn't matter anyway.

347
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 7: So I made sure that I used my last year

348
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 7: to my advantage and not just having a year just

349
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 7: to have it, and it really served me well.

350
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 6: So you probably also enhance, i'd imagine your film studies

351
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 6: because you had more time to do that, and that

352
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 6: will serve you certainly very well. As you know that

353
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 6: is basic. It's got to be a lifestyle to be

354
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 6: a clear back in the National Football League. What's it

355
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 6: been like kind of just the first meetings, getting in

356
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 6: there with coach Tafanski and starting to understand coach Van Pelpton,

357
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 6: starting to understand what this offense is going to be

358
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 6: like and how it's probably a little bit different from

359
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 6: what you did at UCLA, but I'm sure there are

360
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 6: some similarities.

361
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, there's Actually that's probably the one thing I've been

362
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 7: most surprised with. There's actually a lot of similarities, not

363
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 7: only in just the offense, but just the way the

364
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 7: buildings ran as a whole, with how coach Kelly and

365
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 7: UCLA does it. At UCLA, I think it has helped

366
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 7: me tremendously with the transition, but just really just working

367
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 7: with a VP and Ashton in the quarterback room and

368
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 7: going over the meetings and everything, really trying to ask

369
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 7: as many questions as I can. Annoying them with questions

370
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 7: right now is my goal, and trying to get all

371
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 7: the information I can to be successful, not only just

372
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 7: this weekend, but obviously in OTAs and in regular mini

373
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 7: camp and then in training camp. So I'm really trying

374
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 7: to take advantage of every opportunity for sure.

375
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 6: I'm sure, and I bet some of the other receivers

376
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 6: already comes to you and be like, hey, I know

377
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 6: you et cedric or type. Don't forget about it here

378
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 6: throwing me the rock, right they go and to get.

379
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 9: A little love there.

380
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 10: All right.

381
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 6: You mentioned, you know the Washington game when you and

382
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 6: I Tyke said that was the game that you said,

383
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 6: you know, put somebody and wants to watch me. I

384
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 6: went back and watched it. I would say that you

385
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 6: were an artist in that game. What was kind of

386
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 6: your favorite moments from that particular game that you'd say,

387
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 6: all right, this kind of gives you the full picture

388
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 6: of what DTR is all about.

389
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think my favorite play from that game was, uh,

390
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 7: it was either a third. It was either a second

391
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 7: or third. There we're running mesh, I'm sitting in the pocket.

392
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 7: I throw it, the ball gets batted in the air,

393
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 7: and then the other D lineman tries to catch it

394
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 7: and I hit him right in his chest. And then

395
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 7: after that we end up driving down and that was

396
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 7: a big play of that game, and that really like

397
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 7: changed the kind of the trajectory of where we were going,

398
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 7: not only on that drive but just the rest of

399
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 7: the game because we were already up and so I

400
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 7: did That was probably one of my favorite look at

401
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 7: our quarterback.

402
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 9: Yeah, for sure, for sure, Line O Line loved it.

403
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 9: I bet they did. So.

404
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 6: I would say, you're an artists with your ability to

405
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 6: throw and to run, but you're also an artist as

406
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 6: we look at your body adorned with many tattoos, obviously

407
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 6: something that you love, but you designed.

408
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 5: These, Yes, sir.

409
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 7: I have always been big into art and I've tried

410
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 7: to express myself as much as I can through my

411
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,959
Speaker 7: artistic abilities, and tattoos is obviously a big one of them.

412
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 9: How old were you get your first one? I was eighteen.

413
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 7: I couldn't get it until I was eighteen because we've

414
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 7: done a lot.

415
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 9: Of work in the last four years.

416
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, after that, I only got one when I was eighteen.

417
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 7: Then I waited until probably until I was in college

418
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 7: to get the rest of the stuff. So yeah, I've

419
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 7: definitely added a lot of works.

420
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 6: All right, what's your favorite from We'll call it from

421
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 6: an art standpoint, and then we'll get into sentimental. What's

422
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 6: your favorite from like an arts standpoint?

423
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 7: Okay, So this one on my right forearm with Dwayne

424
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 7: is a tribute tattoo that I did for him for

425
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 7: his passing, and just how I kind of matched all

426
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 7: this stuff together like it's a picture of me and

427
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 7: him here it's it's his him and his uniform. And

428
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 7: then there's a d M from someone that I got

429
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 7: about him.

430
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 6: And what's just to give people the backstory? What did

431
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 6: Dwayne mean to you? And how did you guys get

432
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 6: so close?

433
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, so Dwayne is actually how I met DeShawn, him

434
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 7: training in LA and bringing to Shawn and him having

435
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 7: the same trainer. It's how I got connected with everybody.

436
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 7: And Dwayne as well as Shawn, has been very instrumental

437
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 7: in my growth in college. Being able to keep in

438
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 7: contact with those guys, being able to have questions, reach

439
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,199
Speaker 7: out whenever I need to, and the im always being

440
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 7: able to be open and answer that I think has

441
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 7: been very big for me. And he's obviously been a

442
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 7: big inspiration to me.

443
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 9: So absolutely.

444
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 6: And you mentioned in Deshaun Watson, I'm guessing, so how

445
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 6: crazy is it to be coming here now that you

446
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 6: had that relationship with him that pre existed.

447
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 7: No, it's super cool, and again, I think it works

448
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,959
Speaker 7: to my advantage and my development. You know, I know

449
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 7: sometimes a veteran guy doesn't always want to help the

450
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 7: rookies because they think it's not their job and everything.

451
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,479
Speaker 7: But again, me having that personal relationship with Deshaun.

452
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 9: It not only.

453
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 7: Helps him get to know me better, but me get

454
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 7: to know him better. And us working together and being

455
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 7: in the same room together. I think it will be

456
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 7: a healthy thing for the both of us. It'll be

457
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 7: great and yeah, it'll be super fun. It'll be super

458
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 7: cool for sure.

459
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 9: All Right, I have to ask about its Scrooge.

460
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 6: I'm guessing there, yep, uncle, Uncle Scrooge. How do we

461
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 6: how do we go there? I mean, I'm a big

462
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,959
Speaker 6: Scrooge guy. I'd like to be diving into, you know,

463
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 6: my vault pool of money would be great for me.

464
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 9: Not happening yet. But Scrooge, great character. How did he

465
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 9: end up on your leg?

466
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 7: Just like you said, I was always fascinated with the

467
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 7: money part of him, and and just you know, he's

468
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 7: kind of like a mister Crabs almost too. And you know,

469
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 7: it's just it's something I always liked and iconic to me, So.

470
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 10: I like it.

471
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 4: I like it.

472
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 6: And then I see a fearless over here in the wolf.

473
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 6: What's the symbolism of the wolf?

474
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 7: And so we got a wolf face and then we

475
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 7: got a baby wolf underneath. That's my brother and me.

476
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 7: I have an older brother, and I like to think

477
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 7: that he watches over me all the time, whether we're

478
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 7: out and we're in person. Uh, he's looking to beat

479
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 7: somebody up if they're trying to mess with me or

480
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 7: if you know, I'm far away now, So he's always

481
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 7: praying for me and making sure that I'm straight. So

482
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 7: that's kind of what that represents and and why I

483
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 7: got that.

484
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 9: That's awesome. Man.

485
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 6: It's cool because you have, you know, family back in Vegas,

486
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 6: right that is now your family here with the Browns.

487
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 6: But it feels like that's important to you, right, family

488
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 6: and close relationships. I like, I've only known you of

489
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 6: them very briefly, but I feel like that's kind of

490
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 6: the core of who you are.

491
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 7: Right, No, for sure. The same thing with football. I

492
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 7: love my teammates. Yeah, makes a great leader exactly. It

493
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 7: It always helps just serving other people. I found out

494
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 7: that servant leadership is the best leadership. If you just

495
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 7: put your neck out there and being able to help

496
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 7: people instead of trying to help yourself all the time,

497
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 7: it's gonna pay more dividends than anything you could do

498
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 7: just by yourself.

499
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 6: So I feel like you must have just crushed a

500
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 6: lot of this interview process, I feel like you're saying

501
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 6: a lot of things that are like right out of

502
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 6: the Browns playbook and probably just every That's what anybody

503
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 6: wants out of a quarterback in the NFL, right, somebody

504
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 6: that's willing to lead servant leadership as you mentioned that,

505
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 6: and then oh, you've got the game to back it up.

506
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 6: So this is this is an exciting time.

507
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:27,920

Speaker 6: Because I'm sure you heard about the angles, you heard

572
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,560

00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 11: and now you know, I'm back in the same state

578
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 11: I started. You know, it's like I said, it's a blessing.

Speaker 11: You know, all the family and just get to come

580
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 11: to the game. You know, whether it's the student section,

581
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 11: they still get to come and support me.

582

Speaker 9: That's very cool.

584
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 3: All right.

585
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 9: When did you know that you were a big dude?

586
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 10: Honestly?

587
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 11: Probably freshman year, you know, just because of high school. Yeah,

588
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 11: you know, I could just move people around just a

589
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 11: little bit easier. So I think that's when I realized, like,

590
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 11: you know, I can use this to my advantage.

591
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 6: We know that you love hoops. The high school highlight tapes.

592
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 6: I noticed fifty four? Was that a tractor trailer thing?

593
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 9: Or was that? How did you end up with fifty four?

594
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 11: I got fifty four. You know, it's just like a

595
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 11: traditional number. So like in our history of Ben Davis

596
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 11: and you go down to pictures, everybody, every center had it's.

597
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 9: Fifty four, okay, And so the school, it's.

598
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 11: Definitely like our tradition. And even we got the chance

599
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 11: to change our numbers our senior year. You know, I

600
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 11: was like, nah, I'm gonna stay with fifty four.

601
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 3: Man.

602
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 10: It just clicked with me and stuck with me. I

603
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 10: feel like it fit me too.

604
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,479
Speaker 9: What do you love about basketball? Because I know you

605
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 9: love that game.

606
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 10: Probably just like competing.

607
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 11: I think that's in any sport, you know, whether it's basketball, football,

608
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 11: I just love competing, you know, just knowing that the

609
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 11: other person can't guard you or can't get past you.

610
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 11: You know, that's that's the whole point of the game.

611
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 6: Well can't get past you, Now, that's that's your job

612
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:48,360
Speaker 6: here in football.

613
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 3: Now.

614
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 9: What do you love about football?

615
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 11: Football? The dedication, you know, like I said, the competitives.

616
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 11: You know, everybody just loves to come out and work,

617
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 11: you know, it's just the next level. It's not just

618
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 11: just scouteam. You know, every man wants something and you

619

Speaker 11: know I love that.

620
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 6: When did you realize that, Okay, you loved hoops and

621
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 6: you even thought about going and playing hoops in college.

622
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 6: You go to a house state, you play football last year,

623
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 6: you don't give up a sack in the Big ten.

Speaker 6: I'm this is a pretty good sport for me as well.

626
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 10: I would say after my sophomore year.

00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 11: You know, Coacha, he just kept telling me, you know,

Speaker 11: guys like Josh Myers, whyet you know Paris. You know

631
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,639

00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 11: we'll come out with the same result, you know I did.

633
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 9: Do you love it? I feel like they answered this

634
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 9: is yes.

635
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 6: But you love the domination, right, You love when you

636
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 6: can just call a run play to your side. You

637
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 6: just erase somebody off the big thanos, right, make them disappear.

638
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 9: Was there after one of those every somebody like dude,

639
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 9: what is the deal? Like, how are you gonna do

640
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 9: me like that?

641
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 8: Uh?

642
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 11: It's one game against Northwestern and it was just like

643
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 11: after the whistle and you know, I don't know, I

644
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 11: was just pretty mad. I don't know, I just felt

645
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 11: like we just really wasn't doing that well. And you know,

646
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 11: I just went after the whistle and dude just threw

647
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 11: his hands up like mid play as I threw him,

648
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 11: and so you just see him fall down with his

649
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 11: hands up, and so he wasn't even trying. And that's

650
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 11: definitely like one of my favorite plays from this past year.

651
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 9: When did the big fan of name come up?

652
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 11: It came our freshman year of college, the Northwestern game

653
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 11: and Master Tu broke out for that big run down

654
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,199
Speaker 11: the middle of It was a crunch play. I remember, Uh,

655
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 11: miss Rossy came back and crunched the end. You know,

656
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 11: I watched down the whole line and that's where I

657
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 11: got the name from. Every since, you know, uh, coach

658
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 11: step he was our player development guy. He was like,

659
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 11: you know, guy called Big Daniels. You know, he raced

660
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 11: the whole line, I mean a d line. So yeah,

661
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,240

Speaker 11: and so I was like, it was real good. And

666
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 11: then once you see him snap, and I was like,

679
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 6: that kind of been like going in with somebody who's

680
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 6: coached so many All pros, so many Pro bowlers and

681
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,159

Speaker 9: Knowing that you come in here.

683
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,280

00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 6: I've got the power, all that I got.

685
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 9: To master my technique.

686
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 6: You're here with the foremost offensive line technician on the planet.

687
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 9: How's that been so.

688
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 10: Far, it's been going well.

689
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 11: You know, we attack today pretty well for the first day,

690
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 11: whether it was film or on the field. You know,

691
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 11: he just made sure I was just taking care of

692
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 11: you know, on and off the field. And I love

693
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 11: that about coach Kyler already, you know, I feel like

694
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 11: we're going to build a nice connection.

695
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 9: Yeah.

696
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 6: And then they got Scott Peters and there we were talking earlier,

697
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 6: a big dude, not as big as you, but a

698
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 6: pretty yeah, pretty jacked guy right there. He's going to

699
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 6: get into things like if you're thumb's here, you're stronger

700
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 6: than if your thumb's here, and all these little nuances.

701
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 6: Is that exciting for you knowing that, you know, I said,

702
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 6: you're a mountain of clay right for them to mold,

703
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 6: to have to know that you've got these people that

704
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 6: can kind of chisel it down and get you exactly

705
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 6: where you need to be. Because you talk to people

706
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 6: like Joe Thomas, who's going in the Hall of Fame

707
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 6: this year play tackle here for the Browns and he said,

708
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 6: after watching your tape, he goes, if we can get

709
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 6: this guy a quick kickstep, this guy's gonna be a

710
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 6: pro bowler.

711
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 9: His entire career. So it's I mean, it's gonna be fun.

712
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 11: It's good here and you know, I gotta put the

713
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 11: work in. And you know, Coach Peter's just talked about today,

714
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 11: you know, just using different leverages of the hand, you

715
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 11: know where to put it at Like you said, uh,

716
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 11: it was it's crazy, you know what I mean, Like

717
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 11: it's almost strength and condition and stuff. You know what

718
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 11: I mean, Like it's activating different muscles. And you know,

719
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 11: Coach Peter talked about it, and I heard that from Coach Mix,

720
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 11: so I know, you know, Coach Mick talking about it

721
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 11: and Coach Peeter is talking about it, so it's got

722
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 11: to go some type of correlation. So you know, I

723
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 11: like that today.

724
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 6: So you felt like you'd already heard some of this

725
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 6: stuff or which is good, right, gives a little bit

726
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 6: of a head start. Sure, so I heard you you

727
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 6: love the game. It probably helps keep in shape, get

728
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 6: to shoot the rock a little bit. He already made

729
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 6: some moves right to make sure you can be shooting

730
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 6: the rock whenever you're not what you do.

731
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 11: I went and got a basketball, you know, I gotta

732
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 11: delivered to the hotel, and you know, I just like

733
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 11: going to the free throw line.

734
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 10: It's like, you know, my piece.

735
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 11: You know, Steph Curry talks about going to play golf,

736
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 11: and you know, you know, when I got just one

737
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 11: piece at night, you know, I just go to free

738
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 11: throw line, you know what I mean, to take a

739
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 11: deep breath.

740
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 10: You know, it's cool by yourself. Just get the work.

741
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 9: What's your free throw percentage?

742
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 10: Shout sixty school.

743
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 9: It's not bad for a center, not bad for a

744
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 9: big guy.

745
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 6: But I feel like, you know, you're gonna get into

746
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 6: the zen maybe with some of these techniques, are going

747
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 6: to be like get it up to eighty percent, and

748
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 6: it's probably good.

749
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 9: Like you said, clear your mind.

750
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 6: You're probably digesting so much stuff about an NFL offense,

751
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 6: the NFL schemes, the NFL adjustments, that it's probably nice

752
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 6: to get it to decompress every now and then.

753
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 11: Yes, sir, most definitely. You know, like I said, it's

754
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 11: something that I love a dude. In my free time.

755
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 11: You know, I also play the game, you know, just

756
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 11: taking away. You know, I play Madden, but you know

757
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 11: what I mean, most of the time I'm beating somebody

758
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 11: and so it kind of like eases me out, you

759
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 11: know what I mean, Like I'm playing somebody beating my

760
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 11: thirty or something, so it helps.

761
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 10: Out a lot.

762
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 6: You're excited to get out here and have the chance

763
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,479
Speaker 6: to do some battle to the guy like Miles Garrett

764
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 6: and say, okay, let's see where I'm at right now, right, yes, sir.

765
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 11: You know, coming from a hot state, you know you

766
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 11: don't want to compare players, you know what I mean,

767
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 11: going to get some of the best players like Zach JT.

768
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 11: You know they're not of course the same caliber, but

769
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 11: they will be one day, and you know it's just

770
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 11: gonna be good. It's gonna good on good every day

771
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 11: in practice, and I can't wait.

772
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 6: So they talk about like a bus team, right, you

773
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 6: walk off the bus and every head turn you're you're

774
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 6: an all bus team type of a guy. But when

775
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 6: you want our fans watching you, what is something that

776
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,000

Speaker 3: Have a listen.

811
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 5: I'm guessing you got a.

812
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 4: Little baseball background.

813
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 5: That's where I saw it last night.

814
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:08,719
Speaker 8: I mean I got a little bit.

815
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 5: I mean the last time I played baseball probably nine

816
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 5: or ten years old. I used to play in the

817
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 5: backyard all the.

818
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 12: Time, so that's why I kind of know how to

819
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 12: handle a baseball. Most football players never played baseball, and

820
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 12: they try to throw the baseball with it right directly

821
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 12: in their pall said.

822
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 8: They never get get it there.

823
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 5: But I know I actually throwing this ball a little bit.

824
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 12: I heard they walk was struggling over here trying to

825
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 12: get ready for tonight.

826
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 5: I didn't see it, but I also heard the same thing.

827
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 5: So I'm excited to see.

828
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 8: His base because it's gonna be bad.

829
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 3: And I ain't know any Kelsey and making they're nervous

830
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 3: little they seeing his and you're like, dude, I can't.

831
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 10: I just get no.

832
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 5: I wasn't nervous. I'm a natural athute, natal athlete, so

833
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 5: the only thing I wanted to do.

834
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 12: I wanted to get it to the plate.

835
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 5: I wanted to actually fill a strike. It was outside

836
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 5: a little bit, but I'm still proud.

837
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 8: Probably my pitch makay one.

838
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 3: Why did you want number one? So me?

839
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 12: In Knnas City, I was number twenty two and when

840
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 12: I got here, Grant.

841
00:33:58,200 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 8: Was already Nuber twenty two.

842
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 12: So I'm not the type of guy that will try

843
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 12: to pay.

844
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:03,479
Speaker 5: For a jersey anything.

845
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 7: I just feel like it was just time before a

846
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 7: new start, and number one just.

847
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 12: Seems nice, like it just it's a nice catch to it,

848
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 12: like the toes of one don't want it. So so yeah,

849
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 12: that's why I picked number one, and it just it

850
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 12: Also it carries you in a different way, like you

851
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 12: have to carry yourself with your number one, cause everybody

852
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 12: feel like you're like that guy, and I.

853
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:28,919
Speaker 5: Wanna be seen as that because and every day I do,

854
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 5: I do. I feel great.

855
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 12: You know, when you weren't number one, you just feel

856
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 12: like you gotta you gotta look nice, you gotta play better.

857
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 5: That's a I like that feeling about.

858
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 4: On social media, you know, having a little Yeah.

859
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 12: Just so my tweet's not really anything negative. It's just

860
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 12: like in Kansas City. I I like, I use them

861
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 12: because that's why I was before. But in Kansas City,

862
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 12: like those fans there, they were I would say, two cocky,

863
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 12: like they were just like, we're gonna win this week,

864
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,439
Speaker 12: and the players can feel that, like when you walk

865
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 12: into the stadium you know that you're gonna win and everyone.

866
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 5: Is behind you.

867
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 12: You don't wanna be walking around wait with fans saying

868
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 12: I don't know if you're gonna win or not. I

869
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 12: hope we win this year, Like we don't wanna see

870
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,439
Speaker 12: that as as as a as a team. We want

871
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 12: them guys to be behind us, pushing us every day

872
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 12: and like we're gonna win. And once you have your

873
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 12: fans backing you up, it make us wanna play harder

874
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 12: for you as fans.

875
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 3: Do you understand free super Bowl appearances? There are Kansas City.

876
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 5: In this team has never been there.

877
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,760
Speaker 12: It's all good. Like I said, it's it's a new start.

878
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 12: Like whatever happened last year is last year. This is

879
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 12: a new year, and this is what we're working for

880
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 12: us to get to the super Bowl this seasons.

881
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 5: I mean they're all in a good move for the

882
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 5: last five, six, seven years.

883
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean that's true when you're winning a lot.

884
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 12: I mean you mean you're not gonna see here and

885
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,280
Speaker 12: expect to lose. So I mean that the fans definitely

886
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 12: played a big role in that.

887
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 13: So how would you describe the difference in Kansas City

888
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 13: as a Browns fans?

889
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 8: You're you're small interactions on special.

890
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 12: I can definitely see a lot of similarities. Like they're

891
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 12: definitely confident. I mean they they they support the team

892
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 12: for sure, I'm not saying and then they don't. Then

893
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 12: I heard a lot like once I got here, they

894
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 12: said the Brown friends, the Brown fans are crazy. They

895
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 12: be going nuts on game day, and at Kansas City

896
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 12: it was the same way.

897
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 5: So I would say they're very similar in that way.

898
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 5: So what would you do to help this Browns team.

899
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 8: Get to this?

900
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 12: I mean, they brought me here to win, So they

901
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 12: brought in a great guy to help go get the football,

902
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 12: get turnovers, get the ball back to the Shawn in

903
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 12: the offense. So that's what they brought me here for,

904
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 12: is just to lock up any receiver that I'm going against.

905
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 12: We talked about what it could be with Jim Schwartz,

906
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:28,879
Speaker 12: but now that you've actually.

907
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:30,760
Speaker 5: Been on a field with him, now.

908
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 8: Just what do you?

909
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 4: What are your in flash? Jordan Atkins over here too.

910
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,879
Speaker 5: So with coach Schwartz, I like what he's doing.

911
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 12: Like right now, he's not really putting guys in a

912
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 12: free free safety spot of sean safety spot. We're just

913
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 12: playing left and right just basically so we can learn

914
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 12: every position pretty much. So I like him because he

915
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,320
Speaker 12: just let guys play football and play fast.

916
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 5: So that's the main thing.

917
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 12: He's like really hands on when he's out there with you.

918
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 12: Oh yeah, he got a lot of energy, for sure.

919
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 12: He got a lot of energy, and he wants his

920
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 12: guys to be great and.

921
00:36:58,200 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 5: Make a lot of plays. So he looks out for

922
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 5: place for sure.

923
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,879
Speaker 13: On just seeing how you are in social media even here,

924
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 13: Like are you kind of guy a player who's like

925
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 13: you want to speak something into existence? Like you're gonna

926
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 13: be overly positive regardless of circumstances.

927
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 12: Listen, they say if you if you speak negative, negative

928
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 12: things will happen.

929
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:14,439
Speaker 5: That's how That's what I truly believe.

930
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 12: So if you sit there and speak positive, those positive

931
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,359
Speaker 12: things will happen. If you say you're gonna win and

932
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 12: you step on that field, believe me, you're gonna win.

933
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 12: More unlikely you're gonna win. I mean you're gonna play

934
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 12: your hardist to get there. So I'm definitely that type

935
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 12: of guy that want to be positive and bring like

936
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 12: everyone to the room and just enjoy everything together.

937
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 13: While being out there with brand actually on the field,

938
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 13: what's it been like kind of getting familiar with him

939
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 13: and actually playing out.

940
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:36,399
Speaker 8: There with him.

941
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 12: I mean, it's it's new because like I've been somewhere

942
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 12: for four years, having to learn his style of play,

943
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:42,720
Speaker 12: how he likes to play.

944
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 5: But it's definitely coming together.

945
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 12: We're strying to figure each other out a little bit

946
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 12: more because I saw that a little bit today, us

947
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,280
Speaker 12: not having to really speak too much to each.

948
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 5: Other, and we just know what each other is gonna do.

949
00:37:53,080 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 12: So I'm excited to play with him. So, I mean,

950
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 12: the guy's a beast. I mean, just look at him.

951
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,479
Speaker 12: You made it to the Pro Bowl. Who's gonna stop.

952
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 12: I mean, you got him, you got Garrett of Frank, you.

953
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 5: Got all the other guys.

954
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 12: They're gonna put pressure on the quarterback, so they definitely

955
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 12: gonna bring the heat which allows us to make more plays.

956
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 3: I mean, you're one of the first pieces brought into

957
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,879
Speaker 3: this defense kind of the reconstruction of the defense. Were

958
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 3: you surprised if Andrew Barry kept adding with such a

959
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 3: big names that areas.

960
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 5: Kind of lately, I'm not surprised at all.

961
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,439
Speaker 12: I mean because if like if you talk about the history,

962
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 12: I mean, the Browns didn't really win last year, So

963
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 12: AB's gonna bring in as many guys as.

964
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 5: Possible to win. He wants to win every no one

965
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 5: wants to lose. So I'm not surprised at all.

966
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 8: With all the winning you had with the kids, what

967
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 8: made you sign here when you were for the agency.

968
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 12: So I'm I like to be like the underdog a

969
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 12: little bit, you know, going into the season, not everyone

970
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 12: thinking that you're gonna be like the number one team,

971
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 12: like Kansas City. Everybody put them up there number one,

972
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 12: they think they're gonna win it every year. But me

973
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 12: coming here, I feel like I can add something to

974
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:58,879
Speaker 12: the team and bring something to the team to get

975
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 12: us to that time love and.

976
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,399
Speaker 5: I just would feel accomplished if we did that well

977
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 5: and last year there was a lot of communication problems.

978
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 13: I've Sally you work here, but has been discussed it

979
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 13: all since you've gotten here, trying to make that an

980
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 13: emphasis to clean up I was not.

981
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 5: Really. We don't really talk about too much about last year.

982
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 5: Like like I said before, it's a new season. With me.

983
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 12: I'm the type of guy that likes to be very vocal,

984
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 12: so i'm'a try to get my guys line up as

985
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:19,839
Speaker 12: much as.

986
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,320
Speaker 5: Possible be be pretty like good at what I do. So,

987
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 5: uh yeah, we don't talk too much about last last year.

988
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 12: Hang out here today around these you described the defense today.

989
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 5: And just being out there, uh fast, smart and very intelligent.

990
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 3: What can you talk about your relationship with Ron and

991
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 3: how do you think that you guys together are gonna

992
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 3: help kind of set the tone and not.

993
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 13: Just from the back ends with a policy.

994
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,479
Speaker 12: So with Rodney, he's actually played in this this scheme before.

995
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 12: He knows a l like a lot more than we do.

996
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 12: So he came in day one giving us little like

997
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 12: nuggets to help us play better. So we both went

998
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 12: to the University of Virginia, so we kind of know

999
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 12: each other a little bit, and I just felt like

1000
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 12: we can relate in that standpoint. But Rodney's a really

1001
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 12: a great guy to add to the room. He's been

1002
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 12: here for a while, he's he's been in the NFL.

1003
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 12: He know what to expect. So he's a great guy

1004
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 12: to have in your room to help you play better.

1005
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 9: What made you get that tattle?

1006
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 12: So if if you really look at the tattoo, I

1007
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 12: actually have the brown and the Kansas City Chiefs, and

1008
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 12: then what what around I was drafted? So what I'm

1009
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 12: gonna do with this on is actually just track my

1010
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,959
Speaker 12: journey pretty much. So that's pretty much how.

1011
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 10: I got it.

1012
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 9: To help.

1013
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 12: I mean, that's what's in the middle of the football field.

1014
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 12: So that's why I pretty much went with the health.

1015
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 5: You know, white Jim Force is wearing a new jersey today.

1016
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 8: I do.

1017
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 12: So we had a guy fifty one, I think that's

1018
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 12: the number he was wearing today, fifty one.

1019
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 5: He and the team meeting today. He basically brought us

1020
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 5: all in and he let him give his.

1021
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:57,320
Speaker 12: Speech and pretty much he he just wanted to support

1022
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 12: him pretty much in his journey here how works, So

1023
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 12: that's pretty much why I wore fifty one.

1024
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 3: Jan Thornhill a great addition to this defense. Rodnie McCleod,

1025
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:10,600

00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 13: at him not being around him for a while.

1064

Speaker 9: It's oof.

1069
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,400

1070
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 14: been like, but a QUI you know, a quiet a

1071
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 14: quiet dude. But it definitely has a lot a y

Speaker 14: a lot to say. I I can tell you super

1073
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 14: smart and he loves football, so I ain't really get

1074
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 14: to see him do too much. You know, he's he's

1075
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 14: getting he's getting himself right. But as far as a

Speaker 9: sort of louder voice in the UH wide receiver room

1080
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 9: all on that?

1081
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:44,879
Speaker 14: I feel like I gotta be whatever the team needs

1082
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 14: me to be. You know, it costs for different moments

1083
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 14: in different times, but we all gotta put her hair

1084
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,319
Speaker 14: down to work too, you know, if that's what it takes,

1085
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,280
Speaker 14: you know, not say nothing, to be the person of example.

1086
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 14: That's what you know, That's what I gotta be. You know,

1087
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 14: if I gotta speak up, I gotta you know, I

1088
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 14: gotta speak up.

1089
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 5: What what is the biggest the juntment I get it

1090
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 5: used to a a new team.

1091
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 14: MM, probably just learning everybody and in the quarterback with

1092
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 14: the you know, different quarterback, different different arms, seeing what

1093
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 14: he he sees, and just the communication around the team.

1094
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 14: You know, everyone communicates different, but I feel like it's

1095
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 14: gonna go well. So you know, I can't complain.

1096
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 5: What do you learn by being around to the shar

1097
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 5: for the last whatever you want to play?

1098
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 14: He loves football, you know, that was the first thing

1099
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 14: I off the rip, Like, I was probably most excited,

1100
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 14: you know, to see up and close cause I heard

1101
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 14: all the stories growing up, you know, watching him in college,

1102
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 14: go seeing all those national games and watching him work

1103
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,800
Speaker 14: and stuff like that. So seeing how much he loves football,

1104
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 14: Like we were in the whole the hotel and he's

1105
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 14: in the playbook. Like when we telling on the beats,

1106
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 14: we just got done working out, we all gotta work

1107
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 14: on it, and he's still in the playbook, you know,

1108
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 14: So seeing how he is with that only gives us

1109
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 14: more confidence, Like.

1110
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 9: Okay, like let us go look at the playbook one

1111
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 9: more time, you.

1112
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 5: Know, Like, so I can't ask for nothing better.

1113
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 13: And there was a quarterback he seems to, you know,

1114
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 13: really excel and scramble, drill and improvising a little bit,

1115
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 13: like do you think that those.

1116
00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:58,320
Speaker 9: Skills suit you?

1117
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 13: And that you guys have kind of a natural what

1118
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 13: chemistry to be.

1119
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 8: Able to excel in that area.

1120
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 14: Uh, I feel like we don't have a choice, you know,

1121
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 14: with him when with him having that you know, com

1122
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 14: component of with his legs, I feel like you have

1123
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 14: to be good at the off schedule stuff. You know,

1124
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:15,359
Speaker 14: it's just gonna have to be part of the game.

1125
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 14: Is exciting for you as Oh yeah, I feel like, man,

1126
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 14: they get tired. We we keep running. We run all

1127
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:25,799
Speaker 14: day anyway, So I guess it's just another entirely for us.

1128
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 14: As far as like positive, do you.

1129
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 13: Feel like when you, uh look at the trajectory of

1130
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 13: your career so far and started off as strong.

1131
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 14: As a rookie, things didn't go exactly the way you wanted.

1132
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 13: Them to last year, and you feel like it's.

1133
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 14: Just gonna be kind of bothering out here here this man.

1134
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 9: That's why, that's why I came here.

1135
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:46,359
Speaker 14: And if if you not thinking like that as any

1136
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 14: player and you have the wrong mindset, you know, I

1137
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:52,320
Speaker 14: hold myself to be a positive person. Obstacles come just

1138
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 14: just like how I handled last year, and I feel

1139
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 14: like it only put me in a better position to

1140
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 14: go through life and let let alone football now, you know.

1141
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 14: So from this point on, I'm I'm looking to be

1142
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 14: a better human being, a better football player, better brother

1143
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 14: and mother, whatever it is, you know, because that just

1144
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,359
Speaker 14: didn't affect you know, I love football. That season didn't

1145
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 14: just affect football. It effected my life, you know, whether

1146
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 14: it was good and bad. You know, So I got

1147
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 14: I got to learn from it.

1148
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 13: Feel like people got the wrong impression of you as

1149
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 13: a person from the stuff that came out.

1150
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 14: Uh, Social media is gonna do his thing. Media is

1151
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 14: gonna do his you know, his thing. The people in

1152
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 14: the building know who I am and what I stand

1153
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 14: for and what I do when I go home and

1154
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,840
Speaker 14: how I am. So I can't really like live for

1155
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:36,839
Speaker 14: trying to prove myself to everybody else. And I'm still

1156
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 14: learning that. Of course, I would want everyone to see,

1157
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 14: like how much time I put into it, how much

1158
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 14: I love football, how much I watch highlights, this, that,

1159
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 14: and the thirdiest I'm saying, But they gonna see it,

1160
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 14: you know, and do and do time.

1161
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 9: And I got and I gotta trust that.

1162
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 14: You know, I hold myself as a high person of

1163
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 14: faith and know and knowing that I can't I can't

1164
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 14: worry you know, so it's gonna it's it's gonna come

1165
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 14: to the light when it's exactly supposed.

1166
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 9: To be as a quarterback.

1167
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 12: How what type of impact do you think that that's

1168
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 12: gonna have on you as playing.

1169
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 5: With someone with white him?

1170
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,360
Speaker 14: I feel like it's gonna have a a great impact

1171
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 14: for what he has done, you know, years and years before,

1172
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 14: and and for what he has s what I've seen

1173
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 14: him do in practice time and time again, and just

1174
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:18,360
Speaker 14: the off season work. As far as the type of

1175
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 14: person is, you can't do nothing but be confident and

1176
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:22,800
Speaker 14: what type of person and what he's gonna do out there. So,

1177
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:26,319
Speaker 14: taking backing off of that, the guys around you, it's early,

1178
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 14: but so far have you seen from them that you

1179
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 14: think is gonna be able to elevate your.

1180
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 12: Game and get the most out of you.

1181
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 14: I feel like all the receivers in I start with

1182
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 14: my receiver group first. I feel like they're all different,

1183
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 14: and I feel like that's a good thing. You know,

1184
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 14: when you have all the same type of guys, it's

1185
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:42,839
Speaker 14: like you kind of seeing a similar things and knowing

1186
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 14: that we're all different body types, different people are good

1187
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 14: at different things, so we all get to take it

1188
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:49,359
Speaker 14: and watch what we see and put.

1189
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 9: In our in our bag.

1190
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 8: You know.

1191
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 14: So I feel like that component alone is is kind

1192
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 14: of all we need.

1193
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,879
Speaker 3: Looking forward to seeing what comes from this wide receiver room.

1194
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,360
Speaker 3: It is very deep now, all of a sudden, a

1195
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:04,360
Speaker 3: lot of jockeying for positions as training camp rapidly approaches

1196
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 3: in that wide receiver room. Coming up next on Cleveland

1220
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:34,399

1236
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 8: a long look at the schedule, Jason, right away, you

1237
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 8: would have to say that the Browns will have a

1238
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:30,240
Speaker 8: pretty good picture of where they fit in the AFC

1239
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 8: North three or four weeks into the season, because they're

1240
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:36,400
Speaker 8: going to bump right in to the Bengals, Steelers, and

1241
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 8: Ravens three out of the first four weeks. So that's fast,

1242
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:43,319
Speaker 8: there's no doubt about it. But it's going to be very,

1243
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 8: very imperative that you find yourself in a good fit

1244
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 8: at that early point of the season. That's the first

1245
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 8: thing that really comes out and hits you as you

1246
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 8: take a look at the season, you're not going to

1247
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 8: have to wait a long time, and some years you do,

1248
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 8: but not this year. Yeah.

1249
00:50:59,600 --> 00:50:59,839
Speaker 10: Yeah.

1250
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 3: There have been years where we didn't play really a

1251
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 3: divisional opponent till October.

1252
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 10: Or even really November.

1253
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 3: That will not be the case here in twenty twenty three.

1254
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:12,359
Speaker 3: With that, I know the fan base is ready. Let's

1255
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,280
Speaker 3: break down in the twenty twenty three twenty four schedule

1256
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:17,879
Speaker 3: and we will kick it off breaking down the first

1257
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 3: four games of this schedule. You've got the extra preseason game,

1258
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:26,920
Speaker 3: You've got some team bonding trips to Philly for joint practices,

1259
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,879
Speaker 3: and down to the Greenbrier in West Virginia. You will

1260
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:33,879
Speaker 3: need every minute of the preseason. You open up at

1261
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 3: home and it's a good thing on September tenth, and

1262
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:40,760
Speaker 3: it's a date with Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals.

1263
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 8: Well, it's a wow game, There's no doubt about it.

1264
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:45,839
Speaker 8: When you have a wow game and you anticipate when

1265
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 8: you're gonna play the Bengals, that falls into that category.

1266
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:51,359
Speaker 8: I normally like to see that a little bit later

1267
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 8: for both teams, okay, but definitely for us. I like

1268
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:56,799
Speaker 8: to see that a little bit later to get our

1269
00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:01,760
Speaker 8: legs underneath us. But can you imagine the atmosphere inside

1270
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 8: Cleveland Brown Stadium on September tenth, And let me play

1271
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 8: it out for you, Jason, because the Browns are not

1272
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:11,279
Speaker 8: going to be around a lot this summer, as you

1273
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 8: just pointed out West Virginia first of all, playing then

1274
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 8: down in Canton in the Hall of Fame game, which

1275
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 8: I know is close, but it's not Cleveland brown Stadium,

1276
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 8: the West Virginia trip, the trip to Philadelphia to have

1277
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:27,439
Speaker 8: the joint practices with the Eagles and to play them,

1278
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 8: and then Kansas City to finish out the preseason. So

1279
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 8: the Browns are not going to play one game here

1280
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 8: in Cleveland, in the city of Cleveland during the preseason,

1281
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 8: and so fans are going to kind of be watching

1282
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 8: them from afar, not necessarily as many times as normal

1283
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:47,400
Speaker 8: out in Berea during training camp. So the atmosphere inside

1284
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:50,359
Speaker 8: that stadium when they finally get back home and they're

1285
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:53,400
Speaker 8: taking on Cincinnati is going to be amazing. Now, about

1286
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 8: the Bengals, here's the problem. They don't flinch anymore. They

1287
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:00,960
Speaker 8: like to win. They set their bar very very high.

1288
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 8: They know they're super Bowl team right now. They're a

1289
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:07,839
Speaker 8: team that does not fear playing on the road. They

1290
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:09,759
Speaker 8: feel they can win them all. This team goes into

1291
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:12,760
Speaker 8: Buffalo and wins, It goes into Kansas City and wins.

1292
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:15,920
Speaker 8: It goes into Pittsburgh and wins, Baltimore and wins. I

1293
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:19,279
Speaker 8: mean that puts you in that elite class. So you're

1294
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 8: going to have to really be ready for them. Now,

1295
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 8: Remember they got off to a little stub their toe

1296
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 8: start last year in Cincinnati. They blew the opening game

1297
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:29,840
Speaker 8: at home against Pittsburgh, they lost a heartbreaker against Dallas,

1298
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:32,839
Speaker 8: and they found themselves in an zero to two hole

1299
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 8: at the beginning of the season. And this is a

1300
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 8: team that probably aspires to say, hey, listen, let's do

1301
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:41,719
Speaker 8: it different this year. Let's play the AFC Championship game

1302
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 8: in Cincinnati rather than going into Kansas City every year

1303
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 8: to do that, you want to rack up wins early

1304
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 8: in the year.

1305
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 3: So it is a.

1306
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 8: Whopper of an opener.

1307
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:54,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it is. It'll be a one o'clock game

1308
00:53:54,719 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 3: under the sunshine, knock on Wood, Sunday, September tenth, Week

1309
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 3: number two. Yeah, well, it doesn't get any easier. It's

1310
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 3: a trip to Pittsburgh, and boy it's the Steelers. You

1311
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 3: know it's going to be a big game. Let me

1312
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 3: throw a little wrench into it for you everybody, Monday

1313
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 3: Night football Week two in Pittsburgh eight point fifteen. It'll

1314
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:25,240
Speaker 3: be on ABC, Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, all the stars aligned,

1315
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 3: and it's another AFC North tilt in week two.

1316
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:31,719
Speaker 8: Yeah, and you're at the point for the Brons where

1317
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 8: the Browns have such lofty goals and they should because

1318
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 8: of the construction of the roster and the talent on

1319
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 8: the roster. And I think the path is for every

1320
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 8: team is, Hey, we want to win our division. And

1321
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:44,719
Speaker 8: if the Brons are going to be able to do that,

1322
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 8: Jason and I've said this to you and Nathan and

1323
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:49,840
Speaker 8: all of our crew that we travel around with weekend

1324
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:51,960
Speaker 8: and week out, we have to start winning over there

1325
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 8: in Pittsburgh. That's when we'll know we have arrived. Now.

1326
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 8: I know we won that playoff game, but the last

1327
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 8: two years now we've gone over there and once again

1328
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 8: we've fallen back into that bad habit of not playing

1329
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 8: well over there and having crazy thing happen, crazy things happen,

1330
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 8: and losing leads and losing the games. So if you're

1331
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 8: going to be a contender in the division, you have

1332
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:15,759
Speaker 8: to hold Serve at home, which we did last year.

1333
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 8: We beat them all at home, but we didn't beat

1334
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 8: any of them on the road. And at some point

1335
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:22,279
Speaker 8: you have to start winning in Pittsburgh and you have

1336
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:26,840
Speaker 8: to start winning in Baltimore. So I would say September eighteenth,

1337
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:28,919
Speaker 8: on Monday night, I would pick that night. That would

1338
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:31,359
Speaker 8: be a good night to start that new lease. On life.

1339
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 8: Absolutely so.

1340
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 3: Two AFC North games first two weeks of the season.

1341
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:39,720
Speaker 3: Week three back at home. By the way, big picture,

1342
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 3: four of our first five are at home, and we'll

1343
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:43,839
Speaker 3: get to the rest of them coming up.

1344
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 8: Here in just a minute.

1345
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 3: But Week three back at Cleveland Brown Stadium, and it'll

1346
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 3: be against the Tennessee Titans. I don't know who their

1347
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:55,080
Speaker 3: quarterback's going to be at that point, but the Titans

1348
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:57,920
Speaker 3: come in and again a team you can't sleep on

1349
00:55:58,040 --> 00:55:59,720
Speaker 3: with head coach Mike Vrabel and company.

1350
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 8: No, he did such an amazing job a couple of

1351
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:04,680
Speaker 8: years ago when he had them prepared to commit and

1352
00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:08,880
Speaker 8: play the opening game against the Browns that year in Cleveland,

1353
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 8: and they came into Cleveland and they stunned the Browns

1354
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:14,719
Speaker 8: in the second half and blew the game open. So

1355
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:17,759
Speaker 8: and he knows the drow he's from here obviously, and

1356
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:21,400
Speaker 8: he can really get his team ready. The big matchup

1357
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 8: the Marquis there is the two great running backs, Derrick

1358
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:28,840
Speaker 8: Henry nit Chubb. Okay, I mean really that that's a beauty.

1359
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:30,279
Speaker 8: That game could be over in an hour and a

1360
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:32,400
Speaker 8: half if the two of them do their things, we

1361
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:35,080
Speaker 8: could be out of there at three point thirty. Okay,

1362
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 8: because those two running backs, if game plans are what

1363
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 8: game plans could be going into that game and you're

1364
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 8: feeding the ball to these two thoroughbreds, that should be

1365
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:47,719
Speaker 8: something to watch. Now, Chubb got the better of him

1366
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:49,840
Speaker 8: a couple of years ago in Tennessee, one of the

1367
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:52,840
Speaker 8: great Browns wins on their way to making the playoffs

1368
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 8: that year, and the Browns absolutely stopped Derrick Henry in

1369
00:56:56,719 --> 00:57:00,480
Speaker 8: that game. But you're right, the Tennessee quarterback situation will

1370
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:02,440
Speaker 8: be a big question mark coming into that game.

1371
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:05,520
Speaker 3: Onward, the week four we go and a date with

1372
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 3: another AFC North team three before we get uh, well

1373
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 3: it's technically October first, so by October first, we will

1374
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:18,960
Speaker 3: have played half of our divisional games. The Baltimore Ravens

1375
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 3: come to town. Lamar Jackson with that new contract, OBJ

1376
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 3: Todd Monkin running that offense. The Ravens come in and

1377
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 3: if they're healthy, they are again a formidable foe here

1378
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 3: in the AFC, nor than twenty twenty three.

1379
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, this game. For a long period of time this

1380
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:39,000
Speaker 8: offseason looked very, very different because of the Lamar Jackson

1381
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:42,680
Speaker 8: unsettled contract situation. But the opening out of the draft.

1382
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 8: That changed because the Ravens got that deal done with him.

1383
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 8: And you know, they are very very they're very very talented.

1384
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:53,440
Speaker 8: When we have gotten them in the last couple of

1385
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 8: years and specifically in Cleveland, they have not been healthy. Okay,

1386
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:01,480
Speaker 8: they have not been healthy. Jack himself has not been healthy.

1387
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:04,479
Speaker 8: Two years ago. He actually got hurt year and didn't

1388
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:07,280
Speaker 8: finish the season. J Okay got him on the ankle

1389
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 8: and that was the end of his year and last

1390
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:10,600
Speaker 8: year in the game here late in the year. He

1391
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:12,439
Speaker 8: did not play in that game and he didn't play

1392
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:14,680
Speaker 8: the rest of the season. But you would have to

1393
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 8: think Jason October first, he would be ripe and ready

1394
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 8: to go, which makes them totally different. Which makes it

1395
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:25,000
Speaker 8: a huge game and a huge game for Deshaun Watson,

1396
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:28,560
Speaker 8: you know, to really and and these games early will

1397
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:30,920
Speaker 8: be big for him because these are the division games

1398
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 8: that he's going to get a taste of and the

1399
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:36,600
Speaker 8: you know, we'll get a very very good picture of

1400
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 8: how he's going to be this season and especially how

1401
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 8: he figures into the master plan of how we can

1402
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 8: contend in that division.

1403
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, so your first four games Bengals at home one

1404
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:53,760
Speaker 3: o'clock September tenth at Pittsburgh for Monday Night Football. September eighteenth,

1405
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:58,120
Speaker 3: September twenty fourth, and October first, both home games against

1406
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:04,000
Speaker 3: Tennessee and Baltimore, all clock games over on the TV

1407
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:08,360
Speaker 3: network side of things. Unfortunately, the one thing that I

1408
00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:12,040
Speaker 3: don't like up next the bye week. It's an early

1409
00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:16,160
Speaker 3: early bye week, just four games in, but it's the

1410
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 3: bye week nonetheless. And maybe after three divisional games you

1411
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 3: might need a bye week.

1412
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, you really might. Yeah, you're absolutely right, you might

1413
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:25,480
Speaker 8: need a bye week at that time. It's always tough

1414
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 8: to judge when the perfect time to get the bye

1415
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 8: week is. I mean, sometimes it comes too late. You know,

1416
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:34,440
Speaker 8: it came late last year and you have a lot

1417
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 8: of injuries and you might not be in it at

1418
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:40,560
Speaker 8: that point in time. Sometimes if it, I mean, the

1419
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 8: ideal thing would be a little bit later, like right

1420
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 8: smack in the middle of the season. But where it

1421
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:48,880
Speaker 8: is is where it's at. Well, we'll have to see

1422
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 8: what the physical condition of the team is and what

1423
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:54,919
Speaker 8: the record situation is with the team, because, like I said,

1424
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 8: and certainly inside the AFC North, we'll have a pretty

1425
00:59:57,720 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 8: good picture of where they are and what they need

1426
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:01,800
Speaker 8: to do as we turn the corner into the middle

1427
01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 8: of October. But yeah, it really is, Jason. It's six

1428
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 8: of one half dozen of the other as to win.

1429
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:10,640
Speaker 8: The perfect time to get the buye is. But this

1430
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 8: is a tad early.

1431
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is a little bit early. So on to

1432
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 3: the next four games here. This will take us all

1433
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:20,040
Speaker 3: the way up through week nine of the twenty twenty

1434
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 3: three NFL season. October fifteenth, a home game with the

1435
01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:28,120
Speaker 3: San Francisco forty nine Ers at one o'clock October twenty

1436
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 3: second at Indianapolis for a one o'clock Till October twenty ninth,

1437
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 3: we hit the road and we go west, really far west.

1438
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 3: We go to Seattle to battle the Seahawks at four

1439
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:43,400
Speaker 3: h five and then November fifth, a home date with

1440
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:46,440
Speaker 3: the Arizona Cardinals at one o'clock. Jim, what do you

1441
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 3: see here? Four games, four teams outside of our division

1442
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:55,160
Speaker 3: and three teams from the NFC West here on this slate.

1443
01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:57,880
Speaker 8: Tough game against San Francisco, no doubt about it. And

1444
01:00:57,960 --> 01:00:59,800
Speaker 8: it's all about that defense. Can you are you going

1445
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 8: to be able to block that front which was helped

1446
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:04,760
Speaker 8: out by a guy that the Brons really wanted and

1447
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:08,920
Speaker 8: when they didn't get Hargrave, Javon Hargrave in the opening

1448
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:10,760
Speaker 8: bill of free agency, and he ended up going to

1449
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:13,400
Speaker 8: the forty nine ers because he thought, you know, if

1450
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 8: the money was equal. I mean, he made the choice

1451
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:18,400
Speaker 8: that he felt the path to the Super Bowl might

1452
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:21,120
Speaker 8: be a little bit easier through San Francisco than here.

1453
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 8: But it's a phenomenal defense. It's a brilliant head coach

1454
01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:28,680
Speaker 8: in Kyle Shanahan. He comes back with a tremendous scheme

1455
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 8: that he is committed to that running game and that

1456
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:33,840
Speaker 8: you know, wide zone running game that he does, that

1457
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:37,520
Speaker 8: zone running game that he puts together. Their quarterback situation

1458
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:40,480
Speaker 8: will be fascinating though, yep, really will. I mean, who's

1459
01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:43,600
Speaker 8: going to play? Who's healthy enough to play? Is that

1460
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:45,440
Speaker 8: the kid that was the last pick in the draft

1461
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:47,640
Speaker 8: last year that took them down the stretch and brock

1462
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:51,640
Speaker 8: Party but got hurt in the NFC Championship game. Who's

1463
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:53,840
Speaker 8: it going to be there? Because that's a major question.

1464
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:57,360
Speaker 8: But that is a very talented football team and a

1465
01:01:57,400 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 8: team that has its set, its site set very very high.

1466
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:02,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, very happy that we get them at home at

1467
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 3: Cleveland Brown Stadium and we don't have to go to

1468
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:08,200
Speaker 3: San Francisco. The last time we were in San Francisco,

1469
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 3: it was a Monday night massacre, as I like to

1470
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:13,120
Speaker 3: call it. It was a very long flight home.

1471
01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:17,840
Speaker 8: That game was over on the first play of San

1472
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:22,160
Speaker 8: Francisco's offensive night touchdown, like eighty five yards. The other thing,

1473
01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:24,360
Speaker 8: you know, I point out in this cluster of games

1474
01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 8: that we're talking about, we have not defended Kyler Murray. Well,

1475
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:32,680
Speaker 8: we played him twice Breddy Kitchen's team out in Arizona

1476
01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:35,200
Speaker 8: and he ran all over us and we just couldn't

1477
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:37,720
Speaker 8: find him all afternoon, and that kind of ended any

1478
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:40,760
Speaker 8: kind of playoff hopes we had in that season. And then,

1479
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:43,560
Speaker 8: if you remember, we lost that heartbreaker in La to

1480
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 8: the Chargers, came home and said, you know what, we'll

1481
01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:48,480
Speaker 8: be okay, we'll play Arizona the next Sunday, and he

1482
01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:51,720
Speaker 8: did it again. But he did it. If you remember,

1483
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:55,160
Speaker 8: on third down we defended him, okay, first down, second down,

1484
01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:58,000
Speaker 8: but on third down we could not defend him, and

1485
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:00,680
Speaker 8: we have had a tough time against him. We'll give

1486
01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:02,840
Speaker 8: it up to Jim Schwartz and see if he can

1487
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 8: find some kind of a net to control Kyler Murray

1488
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:08,160
Speaker 8: if he indeed is still the guy in Arizona. I'll

1489
01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:11,080
Speaker 8: be a homecoming for Jonathan Gannon, the new head coach

1490
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:14,160
Speaker 8: of Arizona, the great Saint Ignatius Star coming home now

1491
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:16,400
Speaker 8: is the new head coach there in his first head

1492
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 8: coaching assignment.

1493
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 3: And I think the other game is a trip to Seattle.

1494
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:24,200
Speaker 3: Like we we've had some really good games with Seattle here.

1495
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:28,480
Speaker 3: The last time we were in Seattle, I believe Johnny

1496
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:32,040
Speaker 3: Manziel was our quarterback and is still picking skittles out

1497
01:03:32,080 --> 01:03:32,480
Speaker 3: of his hair.

1498
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:35,720
Speaker 8: That's right, very very good. Yeah, we have not gone

1499
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:36,160
Speaker 8: out there.

1500
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 6: No.

1501
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:39,920
Speaker 8: And of course the tricky thing there is and teams,

1502
01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:43,200
Speaker 8: you know, do it different ways. When do you go

1503
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:45,560
Speaker 8: out there? Do you go out on a Friday or

1504
01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:48,400
Speaker 8: do you go out on Saturday? I remember a long,

1505
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:50,520
Speaker 8: long time ago, Butch Davis took them out there on

1506
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 8: a Friday. And then the last time we went out there,

1507
01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:54,720
Speaker 8: I think we went out there on a Saturday. So

1508
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:58,880
Speaker 8: it's it's a long trip. And that's the thing you

1509
01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 8: have to fight off, is is the length of that

1510
01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 8: flight and the distance that you have to go and

1511
01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:06,880
Speaker 8: the time change and everything like that. We'll see Geno

1512
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 8: Smith apparently in Seattle. He's got a brand new contract

1513
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:13,520
Speaker 8: out there and they've committed to him, so we'll see him.

1514
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:15,160
Speaker 8: And I think the last time we saw him play

1515
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:18,240
Speaker 8: against US was as a Jet at MetLife Stadium, and

1516
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:20,760
Speaker 8: he beat us late in the season one year as

1517
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:22,439
Speaker 8: a New York Jet. Yeah.

1518
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 3: I think the other interesting thing to note is the

1519
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:28,760
Speaker 3: forty nine Er game and the Arizona game are both

1520
01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:32,240
Speaker 3: one o'clock, which is ten AM for those two teams.

1521
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:36,200
Speaker 8: And that's yeah, great, I'll take every advantage with both

1522
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:38,320
Speaker 8: of those two teams. Yeah, I can get it.

1523
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:41,480
Speaker 3: I think our secondary will have their hands full with

1524
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:46,080
Speaker 3: the Seattle Seahawks, So they will that wide receiver core

1525
01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 3: in Seattle, especially now with the addition of Jackson Smith

1526
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:53,240
Speaker 3: and Jigba Dk Metcalf, that is a loaded That is

1527
01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:55,040
Speaker 3: a full day for the secondary.

1528
01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:59,520
Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah, And like you say, you're dealing with a

1529
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:03,440
Speaker 8: noise factor out there. They promoted the twelfth man out

1530
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:08,000
Speaker 8: there in Seattle. It's a racous place. It's a loud place,

1531
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:11,160
Speaker 8: and so there'll be all kinds of preparations with silent

1532
01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:14,880
Speaker 8: count and communication and making sure that everybody is on

1533
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:18,720
Speaker 8: the same page out there because really that crowd, it's

1534
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:21,200
Speaker 8: not that it can be a factor. It normally is

1535
01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:23,400
Speaker 8: a factor when the Seahawks play there.

1536
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:26,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, no question about it. That's part one of our

1537

1556
01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:34,240
Speaker 3: set of four games. We are now into November. November

1557
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:39,800
Speaker 3: twelveth we go to Baltimore. November nineteenth, Pittsburgh comes here.

1558
01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:44,720
Speaker 3: Both of those are one o'clock games. Thanksgiving weekend, a

1559
01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:47,920
Speaker 3: trip to the Mile High City and the Denver Broncos

1560
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:51,160
Speaker 3: await us with Russell Wilson a four to h five

1561
01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:55,760
Speaker 3: game into December we go then right after that a

1562
01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:59,720
Speaker 3: week later in LA to battle the Los Angeles Rams

1563
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:00,960
Speaker 3: four to twenty five.

1564
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:01,360
Speaker 8: Kick.

1565
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:05,400
Speaker 3: There's a very tough four game stretch here for the

1566
01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:08,960
Speaker 3: Cleveland Browns, Baltimore and Pittsburgh. Yet again you're done with

1567
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:11,800
Speaker 3: both of them by November nineteenth, which is great, But

1568
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:15,600
Speaker 3: then the Denver game is a wild card because what

1569
01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:19,480
Speaker 3: is Russell Wilson And can Sean Payton revive his career?

1570
01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:22,840
Speaker 3: And then we talked about it on Brown's Dately the

1571
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:25,280
Speaker 3: other day. I don't think you can sleep on the Rams.

1572
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:28,320
Speaker 3: I don't think they're just gonna lie down. There's still

1573
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:29,919
Speaker 3: a very talented football team.

1574
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:34,000
Speaker 8: Yeah they are. You're right. The Denver's game will be

1575
01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:37,800
Speaker 8: fascinating what Sean Payton does out there and is it

1576
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 8: going to be a quick turnaround out there. Is he

1577
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:42,120
Speaker 8: going to get it done in one year or is

1578
01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:44,360
Speaker 8: it going to be You're going to get a year

1579
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:46,880
Speaker 8: to I'm gonna see what I got and what I

1580
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:49,680
Speaker 8: need and then we'll really go after it the next year.

1581
01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:53,960
Speaker 8: And Russell Wilson was so not Russell Wilson last season

1582
01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:57,040
Speaker 8: that it will be very interesting to see what Peyton

1583
01:07:57,160 --> 01:07:59,600
Speaker 8: and Wilson, what that marriage is going to be like

1584
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 8: out there. You know, I have always thought that you

1585
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:07,560
Speaker 8: like to I like to stay in contact with Baltimore

1586
01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:10,480
Speaker 8: and Pittsburgh, especially in the last month of the year.

1587
01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:13,240
Speaker 8: You'd like one more crack at them. So like when

1588
01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:15,120
Speaker 8: you said, hey, we'll basically be done with them, and

1589
01:08:15,160 --> 01:08:17,360
Speaker 8: you're right about that. You know a lot of times

1590
01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:21,479
Speaker 8: maybe you want them in early December because the division

1591
01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:24,360
Speaker 8: is still up for grabs at that point in time.

1592
01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 8: And this this whole cluster of games, now, Nathan, this

1593
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:30,280
Speaker 8: is I mean, Jason, this is when you This is

1594
01:08:30,320 --> 01:08:32,439
Speaker 8: when you make your run. If you're gonna do it

1595
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:35,439
Speaker 8: right around Thanksgiving, if you're gonna make the run for

1596
01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:37,479
Speaker 8: the playoffs, this is when you do it. This is

1597
01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:40,960
Speaker 8: when somebody, some team gets hot at this point in

1598
01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:43,559
Speaker 8: time and they make a run for it, Detroit being

1599
01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:45,400
Speaker 8: a team that made a run last year and almost

1600
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:48,519
Speaker 8: did it and almost pulled it off. Jacksonville got hot

1601
01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:51,559
Speaker 8: at this time last year and then got into the playoffs.

1602
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:56,480
Speaker 3: And a team in our own division in the Pittsburgh Steelers, right, yeah, absolutely,

1603
01:08:56,640 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 3: you know. I mean that's Mike Tomlin and company. They

1604
01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:02,720
Speaker 3: seem to flip a switch every mid November and they

1605
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:06,519
Speaker 3: go right into things and just kind of take off

1606
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:10,040
Speaker 3: from there. So Ravens and Steelers on the twelfth and

1607
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:13,400
Speaker 3: nineteenth at one o'clock at Denver at four h five

1608
01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:16,280
Speaker 3: at the La Rams at four to twenty five. That's

1609
01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:19,280
Speaker 3: back to back West Coast weeks. That'll be interesting to

1610
01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:22,720
Speaker 3: see from a logistics standpoint, maybe what this team does

1611
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:27,480
Speaker 3: for the that ten day stretch because it's a quick turnaround.

1612
01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:30,479
Speaker 3: Are you gonna you mentioned it earlier? Are you going

1613
01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:33,280
Speaker 3: out early to get adapted to the altitude. If that's

1614
01:09:33,320 --> 01:09:36,479
Speaker 3: the case, we're probably going the day after Thanksgiving, So

1615
01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:40,720
Speaker 3: it's it's going to be something that bears watching, I

1616
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:44,280
Speaker 3: think here for that to ten day stretch right after

1617
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:45,000
Speaker 3: we play those.

1618
01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:47,840
Speaker 8: Two you know, the altitude factor. Great story about that

1619
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:51,280
Speaker 8: the year after the drive, when we went into the

1620
01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:55,200
Speaker 8: fumble and the AFC Championship came out in Denver, the

1621
01:09:55,280 --> 01:10:00,320
Speaker 8: Browns wanted to climatize themselves going into that championship game.

1622
01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:02,679
Speaker 8: For the driver, of course was here, but the fumble

1623
01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:06,519
Speaker 8: was out there. So we went out to Albuquerque, New Mexico,

1624
01:10:07,160 --> 01:10:09,879
Speaker 8: and spent the week at the University of New Mexico,

1625
01:10:10,439 --> 01:10:13,200
Speaker 8: and I was doing my sport shows from the famous

1626
01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:16,680
Speaker 8: basketball arena, the pit, the pit, ye pit. Yeah, I

1627
01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:19,040
Speaker 8: was doing the shows for the pit. And it was

1628
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:22,760
Speaker 8: all to get the Browns climatized by the time they

1629
01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:25,120
Speaker 8: got to Denver. Now by the time we got to

1630
01:10:25,280 --> 01:10:27,519
Speaker 8: we blew into Denver, like on Friday night. We were

1631
01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:29,960
Speaker 8: there all week, right after they won in Cleveland the

1632
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:32,880
Speaker 8: weekend before, and it was a phenomenal game. I don't

1633
01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:35,519
Speaker 8: think the climate was the problem. It was the fumble

1634
01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:38,840
Speaker 8: that was the problem. But yeah, it's interesting how teams

1635
01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:41,000
Speaker 8: try and handle that, you know, going up there and

1636
01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:43,439
Speaker 8: playing in Denver in the altitude factor.

1637
01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:46,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it will definitely be something that bears watching all

1638
01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:51,519
Speaker 3: right on to now our final five games of the

1639
01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:55,840
Speaker 3: regular season, and this takes us from December tenth all

1640
01:10:55,880 --> 01:11:00,200
Speaker 3: the way up to that first weekend in January. So

1641
01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:04,680
Speaker 3: with that being said, December tenth, we come home and

1642
01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:08,280
Speaker 3: it's a very tough matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars, who

1643
01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:11,200
Speaker 3: I think could be the class of the AFC South.

1644
01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:16,320
Speaker 3: The following weekend, the weekend before Christmas, a game against

1645
01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:19,519
Speaker 3: the Chicago Bears, and this one is a TBD. And

1646
01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:23,479
Speaker 3: it's that way because we're probably in play for once

1647
01:11:23,520 --> 01:11:27,200
Speaker 3: again to appear on NFL Network on their Saturday triple

1648
01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 3: header coverage. That would explain why that game is TBD.

1649
01:11:30,200 --> 01:11:34,120
Speaker 3: And if history is any indication and the ratings are

1650
01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:37,960
Speaker 3: any indication, I would bet that if things play out

1651
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:40,160
Speaker 3: the way they're going to play out, we would probably

1652
01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:43,160
Speaker 3: play Justin Fields and Company on Saturday. What do you

1653
01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:46,160
Speaker 3: think about those two games, two up and coming teams.

1654
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:50,080
Speaker 8: Here, Well, you're absolutely right about Jacksonville A what of difference.

1655
01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:52,200
Speaker 8: Right when we went down there a couple of years ago,

1656
01:11:52,439 --> 01:11:54,320
Speaker 8: Urban Meyers, the head coach of the team at Trevor

1657
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:57,960
Speaker 8: Lawrence is rookie quarterback and the franchise quarterback, and that

1658
01:11:58,120 --> 01:12:02,200
Speaker 8: thing was a mess. And that was preseason game number one.

1659
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:04,320
Speaker 8: But you could tell you didn't have to be a

1660
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:07,120
Speaker 8: football fanatic or a knowall to take a look at

1661
01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:10,240
Speaker 8: that situation in Jacksonville and say, this is a mess.

1662
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:12,679
Speaker 8: This is not going to work out. And I pitied

1663
01:12:12,720 --> 01:12:15,600
Speaker 8: that poor kid, Trevor Lawrence with the situation that he

1664
01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:19,400
Speaker 8: was drafted into. Well, what I changed that has been

1665
01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:22,040
Speaker 8: to get a real pro in there and Doug Peterson

1666
01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:25,640
Speaker 8: and get talent around that kid. And what they were

1667
01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:29,000
Speaker 8: able to do last year, So that is going to

1668
01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:31,640
Speaker 8: be a great game, That really is, because they I

1669
01:12:31,760 --> 01:12:34,920
Speaker 8: think they're very, very legit. The Bears are interesting. I

1670
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:36,720
Speaker 8: mean they really are. I mean, you know, look at

1671
01:12:36,760 --> 01:12:38,560
Speaker 8: what they did in the draft. They moved around to

1672
01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:42,519
Speaker 8: accumulate things, you know, giving up the first pick justin fields.

1673
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:45,600
Speaker 8: We've seen him a couple of times, once in a

1674
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:50,120
Speaker 8: regular season game his first start, which was awful, But

1675
01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:53,240
Speaker 8: I have to tell you I blame that on Matt Nagy. Remember, Jason,

1676
01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:56,680
Speaker 8: Matt Naggy gave him just a brutal game plan that day.

1677
01:12:56,960 --> 01:13:00,320
Speaker 8: That's when Miles Garrett had all those sacks. We played

1678
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:02,280
Speaker 8: him in the preseason last year when there was a

1679
01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:05,160
Speaker 8: lot of doubt coming into the game about him, and

1680
01:13:05,320 --> 01:13:08,559
Speaker 8: he lit the Browns defense up on that Saturday night

1681
01:13:08,640 --> 01:13:11,479
Speaker 8: that we played them. That was the the last preseason game,

1682
01:13:11,880 --> 01:13:13,640
Speaker 8: and I think they had a better feel for him

1683
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:16,840
Speaker 8: going into the regular season after that. But it will

1684
01:13:16,880 --> 01:13:18,400
Speaker 8: be interesting to see what the Bears are like.

1685
01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:22,960
Speaker 3: No question, final three games of the regular season. Christmas Eve.

1686
01:13:23,240 --> 01:13:25,519
Speaker 8: Good news. We will be in a dome stadium. It

1687
01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:28,320
Speaker 8: will not be twenty five below zero. We will be

1688
01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:28,680
Speaker 8: in the.

1689
01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:32,799
Speaker 3: Great city of Houston, Texas on Christmas Eve at one o'clock.

1690
01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:38,320
Speaker 3: And then well it's a very very short week. Thursday

1691
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:41,800
Speaker 3: Night Football and with it Aaron Rodgers and the New

1692
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:45,320
Speaker 3: York Football Jets for an eight to fifteen tilt. You

1693
01:13:45,439 --> 01:13:48,720
Speaker 3: go Houston on Christmas Eve, you get Christmas Day to

1694
01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:51,960
Speaker 3: catch your breath, and then I'll kiss my wife on

1695
01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:54,720
Speaker 3: Monday night, Christmas Night and tell her I'll see her

1696
01:13:54,760 --> 01:13:55,679
Speaker 3: Friday morning.

1697
01:13:55,439 --> 01:13:56,559
Speaker 8: At about three in the morning.

1698
01:13:57,479 --> 01:14:01,840
Speaker 3: It's it is a full full steam ahead as the

1699
01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:04,920
Speaker 3: Jets come to town for Thursday Night football and then

1700
01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:08,120
Speaker 3: the final game of this regular season. It is in

1701
01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:14,439
Speaker 3: Cincinnati against the AFC North defending champion Cincinnati Bengals. Game

1702
01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:17,400
Speaker 3: day and time to be determined, but it'll be that

1703
01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:21,000
Speaker 3: first weekend in January. Quite the challenge here for the

1704
01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:22,840
Speaker 3: Cleveland Browns as they wrap up the season.

1705
01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:24,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think our Christmas Eve it will be a

1706
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:27,240
Speaker 8: much different scenario than we were when we were in

1707
01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:32,960
Speaker 8: Houston last season. They were awful, and you know, they

1708
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:35,439
Speaker 8: were a mess. And now they've got the new coach,

1709
01:14:35,479 --> 01:14:38,599
Speaker 8: Tamiko Ryan's is in there, and they've got the draft pick,

1710
01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:42,639
Speaker 8: you know, CJ. Stroud is in there. They've they've used

1711
01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:46,200
Speaker 8: those those draft choices, so that that will be fascinating

1712
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:47,800
Speaker 8: to see. But I think they'll be in a much

1713
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:50,040
Speaker 8: better direction than they were last year, where a lot

1714
01:14:50,080 --> 01:14:52,519
Speaker 8: of people you know, just and of course remember that

1715
01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:55,680
Speaker 8: was Deshaun Watson's first game back and certainly, wow, what

1716
01:14:55,800 --> 01:14:57,840
Speaker 8: a game to go back into the place that he

1717
01:14:57,920 --> 01:15:01,080
Speaker 8: wanted to leave, which was Houston. I don't think there'll

1718
01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:02,920
Speaker 8: be any more of that dynamic. I think it will

1719
01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:04,800
Speaker 8: be all football, But I think we'll have a much

1720
01:15:04,840 --> 01:15:07,960
Speaker 8: more I would think Jason a much more competitive Texans

1721
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:13,559
Speaker 8: team than we saw last year. Wow, the Jets Thursday

1722
01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:15,840
Speaker 8: night game, that could be a wild game. Here's what

1723
01:15:15,960 --> 01:15:18,360
Speaker 8: I always hope for. And I look at the schedule

1724
01:15:18,439 --> 01:15:20,880
Speaker 8: Jets and then the Bengals to end it on the road.

1725
01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:24,160
Speaker 8: You just want those games to mean something. I mean,

1726
01:15:24,640 --> 01:15:27,760
Speaker 8: you want a lot out on the table when you're

1727
01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:30,000
Speaker 8: going to play those games, because you look at them

1728
01:15:30,080 --> 01:15:32,880
Speaker 8: right now and they're exciting, and then you have to

1729
01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:34,840
Speaker 8: wait for them and you have to wait and watch

1730
01:15:34,920 --> 01:15:37,800
Speaker 8: how the season plays out to hopefully be still in

1731
01:15:37,960 --> 01:15:40,720
Speaker 8: it as far as the playoffs are concerned, in the

1732
01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:44,240
Speaker 8: division race, and if you are, that's a tough twosome

1733
01:15:44,520 --> 01:15:46,599
Speaker 8: and that's going to be very exciting. So to get

1734
01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:49,439
Speaker 8: one at home against the Jets with the whole Aaron

1735
01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:52,360
Speaker 8: Rodgers story, but to end in Cincinnati, that will be

1736
01:15:52,479 --> 01:15:56,080
Speaker 8: something too. That will really be a classic if there's

1737
01:15:56,160 --> 01:15:57,400
Speaker 8: a lot riding on the game.

1738
01:15:57,880 --> 01:16:02,920
Speaker 3: Well, and really it's interesting because normally that mini bye

1739
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:06,840
Speaker 3: week comes in October or November. We're probably one of

1740
01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:09,800
Speaker 3: the last, if not the last Thursday night game. We're

1741
01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:13,040
Speaker 3: the next to last Thursday night game. We get a

1742
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:17,160
Speaker 3: mini bye before you get the Cincinnati Bengals. So if

1743
01:16:17,240 --> 01:16:19,200
Speaker 3: you can get to those last three games and they

1744
01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:21,400
Speaker 3: all mean something, and you take care of business at

1745
01:16:21,439 --> 01:16:24,400
Speaker 3: home against the Jets, you've got a few extra days

1746
01:16:24,439 --> 01:16:25,680
Speaker 3: to get ready for Cincinnati.

1747
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:28,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, Here's the other thing, Jason, where will the Jets

1748
01:16:28,439 --> 01:16:31,519
Speaker 8: be at that time? Because you know a lot of

1749
01:16:31,560 --> 01:16:33,760
Speaker 8: people have them as a team that will be right

1750
01:16:33,800 --> 01:16:37,360
Speaker 8: there with Buffalo and Miami now in the AFC East Race,

1751
01:16:37,439 --> 01:16:40,519
Speaker 8: with New England suddenly out of the picture in what

1752
01:16:40,720 --> 01:16:43,800
Speaker 8: looks like a pretty significant rebuild. But where will the

1753
01:16:43,880 --> 01:16:47,040
Speaker 8: Jets be? And how did that all go the day

1754
01:16:47,160 --> 01:16:51,160
Speaker 8: in day out new York media dealing with Aaron Rodgers

1755
01:16:51,280 --> 01:16:53,400
Speaker 8: and how did he deal with them? And how is

1756
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:58,120
Speaker 8: Robert Salah putting all of that together. Now we've got

1757
01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:00,000
Speaker 8: a lot to chew on going into that game, because

1758
01:17:00,240 --> 01:17:02,760
Speaker 8: there's still a bad taste in the Browns mouths how

1759
01:17:02,840 --> 01:17:05,519
Speaker 8: that home opener last season went against the Jets and

1760
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:08,080
Speaker 8: how that lead just slipped away from them and they

1761
01:17:08,160 --> 01:17:10,040
Speaker 8: ended up losing that game. So there's a lot to

1762
01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:13,479
Speaker 8: play for there. But really, I just hope there's a

1763
01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:15,920
Speaker 8: lot riding on those two games because they they set

1764
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:19,640
Speaker 8: up beautifully on the schedule, and those would be some

1765
01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:22,320
Speaker 8: atmospheres that you want to be a part of, big games,

1766
01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:24,880
Speaker 8: and you could certainly have the potential. They have two

1767
01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:28,880
Speaker 8: biggies at the end of the year, indeed, and that

1768
01:17:29,040 --> 01:17:30,639
Speaker 8: is your twenty twenty three schedule.

1769
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:34,000
Speaker 3: As bo Bishop and Nathan Zegera say so much more

1770
01:17:34,120 --> 01:17:37,360
Speaker 3: to come. You're listening to Cleveland Browns Daily on eight

Speaker 3: of one of the golf holes and we'll be talking

1781
01:18:12,240 --> 01:18:14,599
Speaker 3: to players as they come through. As the girl will

Speaker 3: try to hit drives and impress people, and that's how

1783
01:18:17,720 --> 01:18:21,120
Speaker 3: things will go. Looking forward to that next week and

1784
01:18:21,160 --> 01:18:24,400

1785

Speaker 3: fifth through the eighth. One final segment. This week, it's

1786
01:18:28,120 --> 01:18:30,160
Speaker 3: been a rough week for the Browns family and the

1787
01:18:30,280 --> 01:18:33,800
Speaker 3: loss of the great Jim Brown, a great friend of show.

1788
01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:37,160
Speaker 3: Rich Eisen from the NFL Network. Remembering Jim Brown, I'll

1789
01:18:37,200 --> 01:18:39,760
Speaker 3: let you have a listen to Rich's memories of Jim

1790
01:18:39,840 --> 01:18:41,040
Speaker 3: Brown from NFL Network.

1791
01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:43,600
Speaker 15: I just want to start from your perspective on the

1792
01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:46,760
Speaker 15: impact that Jim had on this league, on this game,

1793
01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:47,840
Speaker 15: and of course on you.

1794
01:18:48,720 --> 01:18:53,320
Speaker 16: Well, I just remember when we first started out twenty

1795
01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:58,160
Speaker 16: years ago, and you know we're going to be on

1796
01:18:58,240 --> 01:19:02,439
Speaker 16: the air twenty years as of this ball. Just one

1797
01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:06,400
Speaker 16: of the first aspects about Jim Brown that I was

1798
01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:11,439
Speaker 16: privy to and saw firsthand was how revered he was

1799
01:19:11,720 --> 01:19:16,559
Speaker 16: by his peers and revered by those who followed him

1800
01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:20,439
Speaker 16: in the running back position in the NFL. And the

1801
01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:24,160
Speaker 16: number of running backs who I have either worked with,

1802
01:19:24,520 --> 01:19:28,320
Speaker 16: Marshall Falk being the one that stands out everyone else

1803
01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:34,280
Speaker 16: from the running back class in Canton throughout the years Emmett.

1804
01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:38,840
Speaker 16: They all would flock to Jim Brown whenever he would

1805
01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:41,599
Speaker 16: appear at the Hall of Fame, which was almost every year,

1806
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:44,560
Speaker 16: that they wanted to pick his brain. They wanted to

1807
01:19:44,640 --> 01:19:47,439
Speaker 16: talk about him, they wanted to talk to him, and

1808
01:19:47,560 --> 01:19:53,040
Speaker 16: they also just wanted to whenever they received praise from him.

1809
01:19:53,280 --> 01:19:57,240
Speaker 16: It was the ultimate that they could receive. I remember

1810
01:19:57,400 --> 01:20:03,960
Speaker 16: several years ago just walking up the the driveway of

1811
01:20:04,040 --> 01:20:07,479
Speaker 16: our old gigs that we were in for about eighteen

1812
01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:10,719
Speaker 16: years of our twenty or seventeen years of our twenty.

1813
01:20:10,800 --> 01:20:14,000
Speaker 16: There was a group of running backs that was shooting

1814
01:20:14,080 --> 01:20:18,280
Speaker 16: a round table, Marshall being one, and the late Franco

1815
01:20:18,360 --> 01:20:22,200
Speaker 16: Harris being another, and several other Hall of Fame running

1816
01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:25,680
Speaker 16: backs who were all there. All of them were there

1817
01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:30,479
Speaker 16: to celebrate Jim Brown's eightieth birthday, and they were just

1818
01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:34,800
Speaker 16: so honored to have been chosen to be there with Jim,

1819
01:20:35,439 --> 01:20:37,920
Speaker 16: who was a very intimidating figure to be around, to

1820
01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:41,640
Speaker 16: be honest with you, I just remember meeting him for

1821
01:20:41,720 --> 01:20:44,519
Speaker 16: the first time. He came on NFL network years ago.

1822
01:20:45,880 --> 01:20:49,559
Speaker 16: He was arriving too late to appear on a live

1823
01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:52,800
Speaker 16: version of NFL Total Actus MJ and so he was

1824
01:20:52,880 --> 01:20:56,200
Speaker 16: supposed to post tape, as we say in the television business.

1825
01:20:56,760 --> 01:20:59,760
Speaker 16: He was supposed he was supposed to record after our

1826
01:20:59,760 --> 01:21:01,760
Speaker 16: show so we could give him the amount of time

1827
01:21:01,800 --> 01:21:05,640
Speaker 16: that was requisite of Jim Brown appearing. And we were

1828
01:21:05,680 --> 01:21:08,360
Speaker 16: all excited to have him for the first time. And

1829
01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:11,320
Speaker 16: I just remember he went into our very makeshift green

1830
01:21:11,360 --> 01:21:13,360
Speaker 16: room that we had there and he came out during

1831
01:21:13,400 --> 01:21:16,120
Speaker 16: a commercial break, thinking that he was going to be

1832
01:21:16,200 --> 01:21:18,479
Speaker 16: on the live show that he was watching on TV

1833
01:21:18,640 --> 01:21:22,280
Speaker 16: in our green room and not I guess someone didn't

1834
01:21:22,280 --> 01:21:24,040
Speaker 16: explain him that it was being post taped, and he

1835
01:21:24,200 --> 01:21:27,960
Speaker 16: strolled out on the set found me sitting at my

1836
01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:30,519
Speaker 16: desk in a commercial break with about ten minutes to

1837
01:21:30,560 --> 01:21:33,320
Speaker 16: go in the show, and he basically said, what gibs,

1838
01:21:33,520 --> 01:21:35,479
Speaker 16: are we going to do this or not? And that

1839
01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:37,920
Speaker 16: was the way I met Jim Brown. I'm like, holy crap.

1840
01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:42,400
Speaker 16: Not only is Jim Brown, like, you know, talking to me,

1841
01:21:42,640 --> 01:21:45,880
Speaker 16: but he's angry with me, like what do I do here?

1842
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:48,880
Speaker 16: And of course Jim looked like he could give me

1843
01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:51,600
Speaker 16: about ten reps ten carries on that spot. And that

1844
01:21:51,720 --> 01:21:55,760
Speaker 16: was about twenty years ago. So I just know him

1845
01:21:56,280 --> 01:22:00,000
Speaker 16: as somebody who was intense, who loved football, and obviously

1846
01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:02,519
Speaker 16: he loved making an impact on a bunch of people

1847
01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:04,200
Speaker 16: throughout his entire career.

1848
01:22:04,680 --> 01:22:08,560
Speaker 15: Well intent intentional is certainly a word that was synonymous

1849
01:22:08,600 --> 01:22:10,880
Speaker 15: with how Jim Brown not only played, but also what

1850
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:13,280
Speaker 15: he did off the field and beyond his playing career.

1851
01:22:14,320 --> 01:22:16,760
Speaker 15: Rich You're more than just a broadcaster.

1852
01:22:16,439 --> 01:22:17,600
Speaker 9: You are a storyteller.

1853
01:22:17,920 --> 01:22:20,280
Speaker 15: So what will you tell your children about Jim Brown?

1854
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:24,120
Speaker 16: Well? I will tell them about his ability to run

1855
01:22:24,120 --> 01:22:27,360
Speaker 16: a football obviously being second to none, but him also

1856
01:22:27,520 --> 01:22:31,040
Speaker 16: understanding that there's more to life than just football. He

1857
01:22:31,200 --> 01:22:34,000
Speaker 16: left the game way early. I mean, everyone in our

1858
01:22:34,120 --> 01:22:37,639
Speaker 16: day and age will talk about Barry Sanders having left

1859
01:22:37,760 --> 01:22:40,479
Speaker 16: too early or shocking everybody having left too early. Jim

1860
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:44,400
Speaker 16: did that. But he did that too, you know, get

1861
01:22:44,439 --> 01:22:47,880
Speaker 16: a new career in Hollywood in movies and TV shows.

1862
01:22:47,960 --> 01:22:50,800
Speaker 16: And he came on my show several years ago and

1863
01:22:50,880 --> 01:22:53,960
Speaker 16: said he realized he did the right thing. Is when

1864
01:22:54,040 --> 01:22:56,800
Speaker 16: he showed up in a trailer on the set and

1865
01:22:57,000 --> 01:22:59,439
Speaker 16: was acting with rock Hel Welch and people were saying,

1866
01:22:59,520 --> 01:23:02,840
Speaker 16: here's your mister Brown, here's your drink, mister Brown. He's

1867
01:23:02,880 --> 01:23:05,759
Speaker 16: not used to that sort of treatment in the NFL.

1868
01:23:06,640 --> 01:23:09,479
Speaker 16: And then he obviously meant so much in terms of

1869
01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:16,519
Speaker 16: activism is American organization and everything that he was trying

1870
01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:19,920
Speaker 16: to do for inner city youth and for social justice.

1871
01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:23,200
Speaker 16: I mean, I'm sure you know I'm not watching right

1872
01:23:23,240 --> 01:23:26,680
Speaker 16: now because I'm on the phone. I'm sure there's many occasions,

1873
01:23:26,760 --> 01:23:30,200
Speaker 16: maybe over the first several hours of our coverage, the

1874
01:23:30,280 --> 01:23:33,280
Speaker 16: photograph of Jim sitting with Muhammad Ali and Kareem Abdul

1875
01:23:33,360 --> 01:23:36,560
Speaker 16: Jabbar Bill Russell. I mean, these are the titans of

1876
01:23:36,680 --> 01:23:39,479
Speaker 16: his world when he was a player, and then throughout

1877
01:23:39,640 --> 01:23:42,439
Speaker 16: afterwards as well, and then again just the legacy of

1878
01:23:42,600 --> 01:23:44,960
Speaker 16: just being one of the toughest players in the history

1879
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:48,240
Speaker 16: of the NFL. And in terms of a story, this

1880
01:23:48,439 --> 01:23:50,720
Speaker 16: is a great one. It was really one of the

1881
01:23:50,800 --> 01:23:54,799
Speaker 16: first stories I was told as a member of NFL Network,

1882
01:23:54,920 --> 01:23:58,519
Speaker 16: way beyond a right, way before we launched. We were

1883
01:23:58,560 --> 01:24:00,799
Speaker 16: at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in the summer

1884
01:24:00,840 --> 01:24:02,840
Speaker 16: of two thousand and three. We launched in November of

1885
01:24:02,880 --> 01:24:04,960
Speaker 16: o three, so it's coming up on twenty years that

1886
01:24:05,040 --> 01:24:09,400
Speaker 16: I heard this story. And I conducted a bunch of

1887
01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:13,400
Speaker 16: roundtable conversations for the network that we put on tape,

1888
01:24:13,520 --> 01:24:15,280
Speaker 16: not knowing when we would have to use them. And

1889
01:24:15,439 --> 01:24:17,320
Speaker 16: as a matter of fact, it was about the first

1890
01:24:17,400 --> 01:24:19,919
Speaker 16: year of our existence in which we used these stories.

1891
01:24:20,520 --> 01:24:22,760
Speaker 16: But at any rate, we had a roundtable. I had

1892
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:26,479
Speaker 16: a conversation with Ronnie Lott and Merlin Olsen may he

1893
01:24:26,600 --> 01:24:30,280
Speaker 16: rest in peace, talking about, you know, the hardest hitters

1894
01:24:30,280 --> 01:24:32,479
Speaker 16: in the game, the hardest hit they ever delivered to

1895
01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:35,519
Speaker 16: a player on the field. So the question I asked

1896
01:24:35,560 --> 01:24:37,400
Speaker 16: them was like, how what's the hardest hit you ever

1897
01:24:37,479 --> 01:24:40,760
Speaker 16: delivered to somebody? And Merlin Olson said the hardest he'd

1898
01:24:40,800 --> 01:24:42,960
Speaker 16: ever hit anybody in his career. As part of the

1899
01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:46,599
Speaker 16: Fearsome Forsome was Jim Brown and how the Browns would

1900
01:24:46,600 --> 01:24:49,040
Speaker 16: come into LA Coliseum and they were talking all week,

1901
01:24:49,160 --> 01:24:51,080
Speaker 16: him and Deacon and everyone else about how they were

1902
01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:53,320
Speaker 16: going to hand Jim Brown his lunch and they were

1903
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:56,040
Speaker 16: going to take him out. And it was always very difficult,

1904
01:24:56,080 --> 01:24:58,479
Speaker 16: he said, to get a hit on Jim, but they

1905
01:24:58,520 --> 01:25:00,760
Speaker 16: were talking about getting a hit on and really hitting

1906
01:25:00,840 --> 01:25:04,240
Speaker 16: him hard. So here they were in the first throws

1907
01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:05,800
Speaker 16: of the game for a few downs of the game

1908
01:25:05,880 --> 01:25:09,120
Speaker 16: and Jim Brown it gets the ball and sure enough

1909
01:25:09,160 --> 01:25:11,439
Speaker 16: he's coming around the end right at Merlin Olson. He's

1910
01:25:11,439 --> 01:25:13,280
Speaker 16: going to get the cleanest hit he's ever gotten or

1911
01:25:13,280 --> 01:25:16,080
Speaker 16: whatever dreamed he could get on Jim Brown. And Merlin

1912
01:25:16,160 --> 01:25:18,400
Speaker 16: told me he unloaded on him like as harder he's

1913
01:25:18,439 --> 01:25:21,760
Speaker 16: ever hit anybody. And as he got up, he said,

1914
01:25:21,840 --> 01:25:23,880
Speaker 16: you know, I was envisioning and looking down on the

1915
01:25:24,240 --> 01:25:27,400
Speaker 16: turf of the LA Coliseum and seeing Jim Brown's eyes

1916
01:25:27,479 --> 01:25:28,960
Speaker 16: roll in the back of his head, and as he

1917
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:31,560
Speaker 16: got up, instead of seeing that he watched Jim go

1918
01:25:31,760 --> 01:25:36,000
Speaker 16: another seventy yards with touchdown, which is truly one of

1919
01:25:36,080 --> 01:25:39,599
Speaker 16: my favorite stories about Jim Brown or anything that I've

1920
01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:43,240
Speaker 16: heard in the twenty years of being with NFL Network

1921
01:25:43,280 --> 01:25:45,760
Speaker 16: and covering the NFL twenty four to seven, three sixty five.

1922
01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:49,240
Speaker 16: It's a testament to just his legacy and just how

1923
01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:52,560
Speaker 16: obviously known as a tough player. But it's like a

1924
01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:55,639
Speaker 16: fish story, right. I'm sure that let run got longer

1925
01:25:55,720 --> 01:25:58,080
Speaker 16: with each time that Merlin Olson told it, and the

1926
01:25:58,160 --> 01:26:01,000
Speaker 16: hits got harder every time Merlin Elson told it. But

1927
01:26:01,200 --> 01:26:04,519
Speaker 16: Jim scored a touchdown on the hardest Merlin Olsen had

1928
01:26:04,560 --> 01:26:06,479
Speaker 16: ever hit anybody in his career.

1929
01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:07,920
Speaker 5: That tracks.

1930
01:26:08,160 --> 01:26:10,360
Speaker 15: I mean, I don't think even if they added fifty

1931
01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:12,760
Speaker 15: more yards to that that anyone would bet an.

1932
01:26:12,720 --> 01:26:14,679
Speaker 8: Eyelash at how the story has evolved.

1933
01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:15,080
Speaker 3: Ridge.

1934
01:26:15,080 --> 01:26:16,800
Speaker 15: Before I let you go, you mentioned there the Hall

1935
01:26:16,840 --> 01:26:19,000
Speaker 15: of Fame. Can you even wrap your head around what

1936
01:26:19,120 --> 01:26:21,360
Speaker 15: it'll be like there this August when you head back

1937
01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:22,639
Speaker 15: to Canton without Jim there?

1938
01:26:22,920 --> 01:26:27,160
Speaker 16: Well, biggest cheers every year, MJ is for Jim. Obviously

1939
01:26:27,240 --> 01:26:30,080
Speaker 16: we're talking about Ohio, You're talking about Brown's fans all

1940
01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:33,360
Speaker 16: over the place, and it's gonna be. It's going to be.

1941
01:26:35,080 --> 01:26:38,639
Speaker 16: It's gonna be somber without him, but he will always

1942
01:26:38,840 --> 01:26:42,439
Speaker 16: lord over it. He will always be that guy for

1943
01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:46,439
Speaker 16: the Hall and for every running back that ever followed

1944
01:26:47,360 --> 01:26:51,519
Speaker 16: Jim Brown. He is revered as the goat. And now

1945
01:26:51,600 --> 01:26:54,360
Speaker 16: Brady has entered this conversation for the greatest of all time.

1946
01:26:54,360 --> 01:26:57,000
Speaker 16: When we first started NFL Network, it was between Jim

1947
01:26:57,080 --> 01:27:00,599
Speaker 16: Brown and Jerry Rice, and now Brady's entering that's fray,

1948
01:27:01,200 --> 01:27:04,519
Speaker 16: but that's it. Like you know, top top players of

1949
01:27:04,600 --> 01:27:08,960
Speaker 16: all time lists will well, the argument will be between

1950
01:27:09,520 --> 01:27:13,840
Speaker 16: those three and when I first started NFL networking O three,

1951
01:27:14,320 --> 01:27:19,000
Speaker 16: even with Jerry Rice's accolades, Jim Brown would still lead

1952
01:27:19,080 --> 01:27:23,439
Speaker 16: those lists and may still forever more. He was the

1953
01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:27,479
Speaker 16: standard and in so many different ways. So many different

1954
01:27:27,479 --> 01:27:30,400
Speaker 16: players have left the NFL as we all know, uh

1955
01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:34,600
Speaker 16: and gone on to different things. Folks like you know

1956
01:27:34,720 --> 01:27:38,280
Speaker 16: straight hand leaped to mind. McAfee obviously packed what he's

1957
01:27:38,320 --> 01:27:41,639
Speaker 16: doing in his in his post career, and so many

1958
01:27:41,720 --> 01:27:46,200
Speaker 16: others what they've done. Jim was the first and in

1959
01:27:46,280 --> 01:27:49,919
Speaker 16: the first and many different ways. Frank Gifford being another obviously,

1960
01:27:50,760 --> 01:27:54,240
Speaker 16: But what Jim did post career and then in his dotage.

1961
01:27:55,080 --> 01:27:56,360
Speaker 16: It really is something to behold.

1962
01:27:56,600 --> 01:27:59,800
Speaker 3: Rich Eisen with some great remarks and great memories of

1963
01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:03,439
Speaker 3: Jim Brown, and there will be celebrations of life to come,

1964
01:28:03,800 --> 01:28:06,200
Speaker 3: and we'll have all those details for you as we

1965
01:28:06,320 --> 01:28:09,800
Speaker 3: start to put everything together. But it will be weird

1966
01:28:09,920 --> 01:28:12,000
Speaker 3: not seeing him in Canton this year, obviously for the

1967
01:28:12,040 --> 01:28:14,400
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame, and especially in a year where the

1968
01:28:14,479 --> 01:28:18,439
Speaker 3: great Joe Thomas is going in, it will be different.

1969
01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:20,800
Speaker 3: He will be missed, but I know he's looking down

1970
01:28:21,640 --> 01:28:24,120
Speaker 3: with a little smile on his face as this Browns

1971
01:28:24,200 --> 01:28:26,679
Speaker 3: team will play in that Hall of Fame game against

1972
01:28:26,680 --> 01:28:29,719
Speaker 3: the New York Jets and kickoff their twenty twenty three season.
