12
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:01,319
Speaker 2: As they say, listen, this season has been special, and

13
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 2: this team has been so special that you want to

14
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: see everybody who has contributed to that be recognized, Yes,

15
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 2: and be recognized on what I would call a grand stage.

16
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 2: You and I went through this yesterday, and I think

17
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 2: we had best case scenario. I think we had thirteen

18
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: people that we thought could be Pro Bowlers are alternates.

19
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 2: We thought there could be as many as eight actual

20
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: Pro bowlers, so we were pretty close. We ended up

21
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: having five Pro Bowlers, including three who were starters, and

22
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: we had six alternates that were named We'll start with

23
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 2: the Pro Bowlers. Denzel Ward now a three time Pro bowler,

24
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 2: Miles Garrett now a five time Pro bowler, which ties

25
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: for the Browns franchise record for the most Pro Bowls

26
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: ever by a defensive player. Joel Betonio is now a

27
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: six time Pro bowler, and that is six consecutive Pro

28
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: Bowls for Joel Betonio. I'll say it again, six consecutive.

29
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 2: That so it's him third all time in Cleveland Brown's

30
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 2: history with six Pro Bowls. Made so impressive for Joel

31
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: bytonium for a Mari Cooper, this is his fifth Pro Bowl,

32
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: his first as a member of the Cleveland Browns, and

33
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: for the chief his first ever Pro Bowl and certainly

34
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 2: very fitting recognition. So those are your five Pro Bowlers.

35
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: Who are the three starters?

36
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 4: Three starters are Denzel Betonio and Miles perfect So, and

37
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 4: the reserves are a Marian Adjoku.

38
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 3: That's right. It even says that perfectly there.

39
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 2: Thank you, good job, give me, I got you, you

40
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 2: got me. So, Denzel has been elite this year. I

41
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 2: saw in getting ready for the game last week it

42
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 2: was something like when he was off the field, the

43
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 2: difference between completion percentage yards. All of that yards per

44
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: attempt quarterback rating were massive. And then the one that

45
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 2: jumped out at me the most was I think we

46
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: had allowed going into last week, we'd allowed sixteen passing

47
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 2: touchdowns on the season. Eleven of them occurred without Denzel

48
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 2: Ward on the field, only five with him on the field. Now,

49
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 2: he was on the field when I think they scored

50
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 2: their first passing touchdown last week. But the point is,

51
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 2: it's not like he had missed two thirds of the season.

52
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 2: He had missed four games, and double the touchdowns happened

53
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: in those four games that he missed or when he

54
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: was not on the field then when he was, which

55
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 2: I thought was stunning. Now that's also skewed a little

56
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: bit by Houston, right like at the things that happened

57
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 2: late in that Houston game. But I thought that was

58
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: an incredible step. All right, those are your starters and

59
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: reserves on the team, by the way, to have a

60
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: wide receiver and a tight end. And by the way,

61
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 2: Chiefs one hundred and eighteen yards away from one thousand, thousand,

62
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: and he's gone over one hundred twice now with Flacco,

63
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: including one hundred and thirty four last week. Second highest

64
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 2: of his career. To have Amari career high twelve hundred

65
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 2: fifty yards, career high seventeen point four yards per catch

66
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: and David Njoku as pass catchers make the Pro Bowl

67
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 2: in a season in which they played with four different

68
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 2: quarterbacks who started multiple games each is crazy. It's crazy.

69
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: It is such a testament to everything about this football team.

70
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 3: It's awesome.

71
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 2: So congrats, well deserved to all of those guys. These

72
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 2: are all, you know, in many ways Pro Bowl stalwarts.

73
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 2: When you think about three for Denzel, six for Betonio,

74
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 2: five for Miles Garrett, five for er Amari Cooper and

75
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 2: now David Njoko obviously getting his first and what a

76
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: story and perseverance for David Joku, What a story for

77
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: perseverance in terms of this organization believing in somebody that

78
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 2: was drafted at the age of twenty that you know,

79
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 2: remember when he got his contract extension. He was not

80
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: given that contract extension for what he had done. It

81
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 2: was for who he would become. And kudos to Andrew

82
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 2: Berry for identifying that correctly, got that one right, Yep,

83
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: check that box off.

84
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 3: You sure got that right.

85
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 2: So those are your five who made it hopefully, by

86
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 2: the way, no Browns play in the Pro Bowl, because

87
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 2: that means we're all playing, and we're playing in the

88
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, which is fine, which would be sad for

89
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 2: the alternates because they won't get a chance to get elevated.

90
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 2: Talk about the alternants for a second. Wyatt Teller, two

91
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 2: time Pro bowler, last two seasons, he's probably the best

92
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: right guard in football. Feels like a little bit of

93
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 2: a snub. And I don't have the benefit of having

94
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 2: all the rosters in front of me to know who

95
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 2: actually made it at the right guard spot. But I

96
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: can look that up on the internet. Doesn't even matter

97
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 2: to me. I don't even it doesn't even matter to

98
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: me why Teller should be there. Ethan Posik should have

99
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 2: been a Pro Bowler last year, and I'm pretty sure

100
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 2: he should be a Pro Bowler this year. So I

101
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 2: think two of those those are two pretty tough ones

102
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,239
Speaker 2: for the Browns, And those, however, might not even be

103
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: the most egregious because the silly, outdated, antiquated system that

104
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 2: is you in the National Football League to lump a

105
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 2: four to three linebacker who's either a will or a

106
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 2: Sam as being an outside linebacker.

107
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 3: Lumped in with TJ.

108
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 2: Watt and Alex Highsmith and guys like Josh Allen who

109
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 2: are stand up pass rushers who are technically outside linebackers

110
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,679
Speaker 2: in a three to four, but they are not the same.

111
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 2: It should be edge rusher should be the title, and

112
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 2: that has Miles and Hendrickson and TJ. Watt, all of

113
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 2: those guys would be in there, and then it should

114
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 2: just be off ball linebackers. And I think Jeremiah Wusu

115
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: Korromoa deserved to not only be a Pro bowler, I

116
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 2: think he deserved to be a Pro Bowl starter this

117
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: season for what he has done as an off ball

118
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 2: linebacker for the Cleveland Browns. I think he has been

119
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 2: that good. I think j Oka to me is a

120
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: very very egregious oversight, and it is it is a

121
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 2: problem of what happened with It's a problem of really

122
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 2: what happened with the way this system is set up

123
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 2: with in terms of the way that positions are identified

124
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 2: either where whether it be correctly or incorrectly in this case.

125
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 2: So why I think oversight for sure, I think that

126
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 2: you look at you know.

127
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 4: I can tell you from a guards standpoint, Quentin Nelson

128
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 4: or the Colts, Okay, Betonio. Okay, those are the two starters,

129
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 4: Joe Toney. Toney from Kansas City. He was pretty good

130
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 4: in his own right, yep. The center position, Creed Humphrey

131
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 4: from Kansas City and Tyler Linderbaum from the Ravens.

132
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: So Creed Humphrey has had I think what some people

133
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 2: would consider. I mean, he's been very very good. Linderbaum's

134
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: been very very good as well. But Ethan post It's

135
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 2: been very very good. And so that's probably a little

136
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 2: more name recognition for Creed Humphrey has kind of been

137
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 2: this is not his first Pro Bowl for sure. Linder

138
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 2: Bomb has been a stud. So it's a little bit

139
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 2: of a numbers game there. I thought he's had a

140
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 2: very good season. Ryan Kelly's another guy for Indianapolis that

141
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 2: probably has a little bit of a case as well

142
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 2: to be in there. So to me, though, j Okay

143
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 2: is j Okay is as egregious as egregious gets. That

144
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: to me is unbelievable that he is not a pro

145
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 2: bowler this year.

146
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 3: He absolutely should be a pro bowler this year.

147
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 2: I think you look in on this, you got Quincy Williams,

148
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 2: I think very deserving.

149
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 3: I think you can make case c. J.

150
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: Mosley is deserving as well, But to me, J Okay

151
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 2: is so deserving for the negative plays that he makes.

152
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 3: Leads the league in the run stops.

153
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 2: He is ad or behind the line of scrimmage more

154
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 2: than anybody in the league. He is tremendous, and he's

155
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 2: got the picks, and he's got the sacks, and he's

156
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 2: got a one hundred tackles. He's been everywhere. I think

157
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 2: that that was an egregious one, and I think if

158
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 2: he is an off ball linebacker, I think he has

159
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 2: a chance certainly to get in there.

160
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 4: So the inside middle linebackers yep, were Roquan Smith and

161
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 4: Patrick Queen.

162
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 3: What about Quincy Williams, he didn't make it.

163
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 5: These are.

164
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 3: Are those just the starters?

165
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 5: No?

166
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 4: The asterisk denotes starter.

167
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 3: Which is Roquan.

168
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 4: Yeah. Outside linebackers were three Okay, TJ. Watt, YEP, TJ. Watt,

169
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 4: Khalil Mack, and Josh Allen.

170
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 2: Okay pass rushers not even the same position as what

171
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 2: Jeremiah Usu kormo At plays now. It would have been

172
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 2: tough for him competing against Roquan's with Patrick Queen. I

173
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 2: think Quincy Williams, who won the Fan vote, got jobs.

174
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 2: He did something that hasn't been done in a decade

175
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 2: in the league. He's got I think it was like

176
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,479
Speaker 2: fifteen tackles for a loss, one hundred and twenty plus tackles,

177
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 2: fifteen passes, defense picks, all of it. He's had an

178
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 2: unbelievable season. But so it is tough there. Dustin Hopkins

179
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 2: robbed a robbery, robbed, ridiculous, absurd, complete and total. Just

180
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 2: when you say it. Sometimes it's a popularity contest. And

181
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 2: here's what happened, folks. They send these ballots around, who's

182
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 2: the best kicker in the NFL? Who's the best kicker

183
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 2: in the NFL? Gibbe, if you were just asked, just

184
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 2: blankly somebody on the street walked up to you, who's

185
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 2: the best kicker in the NFL, first thing that comes your.

186
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 4: Mind, well, I mean they would tell you the Ravens guy.

187
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 3: Justin Tucker. Of course Tucker.

188
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 2: So that's what happened. Justin Tucker has not had a

189
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 2: Justin Tucker season. No, Justin Tucker in fact is having

190
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 2: the worst season of his career.

191
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 3: But he's Justin Tucker Tucker.

192
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 2: And by the way, there's a lot of cachet with

193
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 2: being Justin Tucker. Now where I think you're gonna have

194
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 2: a chance, because the All Pro is not a popularity

195
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 2: contest or is not necessarily a name recognition contest, You're

196
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 2: gonna have a chance. I think, like in the year

197
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen for Justin Tucker, where he was first team

198
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,599
Speaker 2: All Pro and was not a Pro Bowler. So I

199
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 2: think that's possible for Dustin Hopkins. Listen, nineteen twenty twenty.

200
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 2: Four straight years and six total, Tucker's been the Pro

201
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: Bowl kicker. So it's not a surprise that it's just naturally.

202
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 2: You think Tucker, You think Tucker, you think Tucker. Here's

203
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 2: the deal. Though he's only made eighty six percent of

204
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 2: his kicks this year, He's thirty one to thirty six,

205
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 2: He's one of five from fifty plus our guy was

206
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 2: eight of eight. Now, if you'd said to me Greg Zerline,

207
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 2: I think Greg Zulene makes sense as well. But Dustin

208
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 2: Hopkins has been much better than Justin Tucker this year,

209
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 2: and just Dustin Hopkins quite frankly deserves Pro Bowl. He

210
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 2: deserves All Pro, all of it. Best kicker in the league.

211
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 4: My argument, so the argument that I'm making for him

212
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 4: is how many clutch kicks totally from by the way,

213
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 4: not chip shot distance, No. Forty five, fifty fifty three

214
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 4: to win games.

215
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 5: Yep.

216
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 4: Like I just think when the pressure has been on,

217
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 4: he's been the best kicker.

218
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 2: We aren't where we are right now without Dustin Hopkins.

219
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 3: Correct.

220
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 2: I don't think that there's maybe even another kicker in

221
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 2: the league that you're making that statement about right now.

222
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 2: The Ravens are not where they are because of Justin Tucker.

223
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 2: The Ravens are where they are because of Lamar Jackson,

224
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 2: their defense, all of it. The Browns in many ways,

225
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 2: when you had to get through some of those tough

226
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 2: times with a quarterback carousel, a shuffling, it came down

227
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 2: to Dustin Hopkins. When you led the comeback Joe Flacco

228
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 2: did against Chicago and he comes back, it came down

229
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 2: to Dustin Hopkins. I mean how many times he made

230
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 2: the game winning one? How about the one that he

231
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 2: made from fifty four, you know, to ice the Jags

232
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 2: on a cold Cleveland December day. I mean you're talking

233
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 2: about he should have been number one. And then I

234
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 2: think Bejorquez at excelint recognition there, who did they have

235
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 2: win that aj Cole is AJ Cole, the AFC punter,

236
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 2: Ake J Cole.

237
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 4: Jake AJ Coles, the AFC punter. Okay, but long snapper

238
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 4: is Ross Matisic from Jacksonville.

239
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:17,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, give a little love to Charlie Hughes.

240
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 2: Come on, AJ Cole this year fifty yards per attempt,

241
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 2: forty five yards net, I mean, pretty good long of

242
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 2: eighty three, which is tied for the longest on the season.

243
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 3: So he's had a very good year.

244
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 2: Corey forty nine and a half yards, forty two point

245
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 2: three per attempt, AJ Cole per net. I'm sorry, AJ

246
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 2: Cole thirty six inside the twenty, so he's been very

247
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 2: good in that regards. I think good recognition for Cordy

248
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 2: before because that's a that's a that's a tough position

249
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 2: to kind of break through, and I think getting that

250
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 2: recognition is great for him now.

251
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 3: So we've gone through all eleven. I do think Teller

252
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 3: should have been there.

253
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 2: I definitely think d Hop should have been there, and

254
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 2: I think Jeremiahusu Kormo should have been there.

255
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 3: That's eight.

256
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 2: Now here's the guy that I think is the biggest

257
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 2: snap of all for the Cleveland Browns. The biggest snub

258
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 2: is mj Emerson, And I don't care about Jalen Ramsey's

259
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 2: name recognition. The guy's played nine games. And look, you

260
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 2: got sas Gardner, you got Patrick Sartan's second, you got Denzel.

261
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 3: There's only four of them.

262
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 5: Correct.

263
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 2: It's very, very difficult, and there's no doubt sas Gardner

264
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 2: deserved to make it this year. But when you are

265
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 2: a cornerback in the National Football League.

266
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 3: What is your job?

267
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 2: Right in addition to tackling and all that, but when

268
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 2: you're in coverage, it is to limit the percentage of

269
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 2: completions when they throw at you. It is to limit

270
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 2: the touchdowns and big plays when they throw at you.

271
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 2: And it is to look at from a holistic quarterback

272
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 2: rating standpoint, make it difficult for quarterbacks to have success

273
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 2: when they throw at you. Okay, So if those are

274
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 2: the barometers that we're using, and I think it makes

275
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 2: perfect sense to do it, let's start with these are

276
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 2: of every quarterback cornerback that has played fifty percent of

277
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 2: their team snaps. So just like guys who started half

278
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 2: of the season. Okay, the lowest completion percentage allowed in

279
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 2: the National Football League is forty seven point one percent. Gibbe,

280
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 2: Do you have a guess as to who who allowed

281
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 2: the league low seven point one percent completions went in coverage?

282
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 4: Well, I believe you've teed me up quite nicely, and

283
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 4: I believe it's m j Emerson.

284
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 3: Mj Emerson.

285
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 2: Okay, And this is out of just so people know

286
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 2: of the corners that have done this, that have played,

287
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 2: that have played the fifty percent of their team snaps.

288
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 2: This is eighty one corners in the league. Okay, eighty

289
00:15:55,360 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 2: one corners. Number one, mj Emerson, number six, Number six

290
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:12,239
Speaker 2: is Denzel Ward. Denzel Ward is number six in this category.

291
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 2: He is at fifty one percent. Greg Newsom twenty fourth,

292
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 2: fifty eight point two. So if they're thirty two teams

293
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 2: in the NFL, the number one corner on thirty two

294
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 2: teams would be that, right, we have three of the

295
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 2: top twenty four. But I'm going back and Greg, certainly,

296
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 2: I think deserves it in the sense that he's the

297
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 2: best slot corner, but they don't have it broken out

298
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 2: like that. Mj Emerson outside corner, number one in the league,

299
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 2: number one in the league in completion percentage allowed.

300
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 3: Okay.

301
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 2: And then we said what quarterback rating was a good barometer.

302
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna guess Jalen Johnson made the Pro Bowl for

303
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 2: the NFC for the Chicago Bears.

304
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 4: Stand By, let me bring.

305
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 3: Up the NFC here, and I'm making I'm gonna make

306
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 3: this point and so that.

307
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 4: So on the corner for the defense. UH for the NFC.

308
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 4: Deron Bland UH. Various award from the forty nine ers,

309
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 4: Jalen Johnson from the Bears, and Devin Witherspoon from the SEAHA.

310
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 3: Thank you so, by the way, Devin Witherspoon rookie. Yeah.

311
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 2: Jalen Johnson Okay, fourth in the NFL and completion percent

312
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 2: He's the only one that is as good in all

313
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 2: of these categories as our guy, Jalen Johnson fourth in

314
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 2: the NFL fifty percent completion percentage. Loud again, Number one M.

315
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 2: J Emerson Number one. Can you get better than number one?

316
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 2: I believe you cannot get better?

317
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 3: No, who know? Does your name me?

318
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 5: Number one?

319
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 4: He's downstairs?

320
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 3: See yes, it does all right.

321
00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 2: Now we go to quarterback rating allowed and coverage. I

322
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 2: mentioned number one, Jalen Johnson thirty three point three.

323
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 3: Why I brought him up? Number two?

324
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 2: Mj Emerson forty five point three number three, darn Bland

325
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 2: fifty two point one, so so far the two guys

326
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 2: around him pro bowlers. Number five Charvarius Ward fifty six

327
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 2: point eight Pro Bowler. And then we talked about giving

328
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 2: up touchdowns in coverage, right, given up touchdowns for an

329
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 2: outside corner. There are only out of eighty something, what

330
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 2: did I say, eighty one corners? Yes, there are six

331
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 2: six this season that they have have been said not

332
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 2: to have given up a single touchdown in coverage this year.

333
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 2: Of every single Pro bowler that you mentioned, none of

334
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 2: them are on this list. Some of them are slots,

335
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 2: like a Mike Hilton, who's a blitzer. Now la Jerry

336
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 2: Sneed had a very nice year for Kansas City. He

337
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 2: certainly could have been discussion. He's fifty one percent no touchdowns,

338
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 2: fifty five point nine rating. But then there's mj Emerson

339
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 2: who is of the group of six, okay, that didn't

340
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 2: allow a touchdown in coverage all season, only six. He's

341
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 2: number one in completion percent allowed, number one in rating allowed.

342
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 2: So you're saying that he is of those three categories.

343
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 2: He's number one in completion percentage allowed in coverage, he's

344
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 2: number two in the NFL and quarterback rating allowed and coverage,

345
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 2: and he's number one because he allowed zero. Can't get

346
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 2: lower than that touchdowns and coverage.

347
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 4: This year there were games where teams did not throw

348
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 4: the ball his way and it was intentional.

349
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 2: He was targeted seventy times this year, which is actually

350
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 2: of the people on this list, that's a fairly legit number.

351
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 2: He gave up thirty three catches folks in the NFL

352
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three. Mj Emerson not only, in my opinion,

353
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 2: deserve to be on the Pro Bowl roster over Jayalen Ramsey.

354
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 2: Noticed we never said to his name anywhere, and I'm

355
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 2: not even sure he's qualified for the fifty percent.

356
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 4: He's only played, well, he played nine games, so he

357
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 4: just played just over unless well he got hurt in

358
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 4: the one game. But he's got heat.

359
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 2: What he has is he's got name recognition, right, he's

360
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 2: Jayalen Ramsey. Hold on, let me drop I'm gonna drop

361
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 2: it down to twenty percent of this of the snaps,

362
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 2: and they'll see that's gonna change things.

363
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 3: A little bit.

364
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 2: So if you dropped down to twenty percent of snaps

365
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 2: and now we're talking about we're talking about one hundred

366
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 2: and thirty three corners. Okay, so now it's like guys

367
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 2: who weren't even full time starters that get to kind

368
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 2: of come in here and ran the prede. There's a

369
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 2: guy named Clark Phillips from Atlanta who played in sounds

370
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 2: like a next door neighbor six games this year. He

371
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 2: had a forty four percent completion allowed, still number one.

372
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 2: Outside of that mj Emerson. By the way, Jalen Ramsey

373
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 2: fifty percent, he'd be sixth quarterback rating. Even adding in

374
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 2: all those other guys. Guess what Jalen Johnson won. Jalen

375
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 2: Ramsey two credit. Mj Emerson three touchdowns allowed in coverage.

376
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 2: Now you get up. He gets a few more people

377
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 2: in here who didn't play much. M j Emerson amongst

378
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 2: those who did not allow a single touchdown number one

379
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 2: and completion percentage allowed number one quarterback rating.

380
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 3: Mj Emerson deserved to be a starter.

381
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 2: I think that there is obviously a pretty significant case

382
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 2: to be made that mj Emerson deserves to be not

383
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 2: only a Pro Bowl starter, but a first team All Pro.

384
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 2: He leads our team, he leads the best defense in

385
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 2: the NFL. To quote our guy Kevin Stefanski, with four interceptions.

386
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 2: He leads the best defense in the NFL with fourteen

387
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 2: passes defensed. He has now in two seasons in the

388
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 2: league twenty nine passes defense. He's been so consistent in

389
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 2: that regard, I don't get it. And then Greg Newsom

390
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 2: is a slot defender two picks career high, obviously fourteen

391
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 2: passes defense in his own right. So he's tied with

392
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:22,360
Speaker 2: the team league with m j Emerson. Part of its

393
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 2: popularity and part of it's what not only is Jalen

394
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 2: Ramsey playing well, but Jalen Ramsey is a perennial pro bowler.

395
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 2: And then you've got sas Gardner, You've got Patzertan. Now,

396
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 2: the one thing that's interesting is sas Gardner has had

397
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 2: kind of an up and down year. Honestly, you didn't

398
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 2: hear his name in any of this, but he's got

399
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 2: the name recognition of being Sauce Gardner from last year.

400
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 2: The other guy that you really didn't hear much about

401
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 2: was patzer Tan. Again, reputation, name recognition matters. M j

402
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 2: Emerson is going to have that after this year, because

403
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 2: I guarantee, as animated as I am about it, I'm

404
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 2: not the only one by the way, for comparison's sake,

405
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 2: Greg Newsom is twenty second in quarterback rating allowed. Denzel

406
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 2: Ward for US is twenty third in quarterback rating allowed.

407
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 2: Sauce Gardner is twenty fifth in quarterback rating allowed. Pats

408
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 2: or Tan he must let's see Patsortan this year gave

409
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,199
Speaker 2: up sixty one percent completions in coverage three touchdowns at

410
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 2: a ninety two rating when targeted, and made it a

411
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 2: little bit on his name.

412
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 6: For sure.

413
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 2: Mj Emerson is, in my opinion, the biggest snub in

414
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 2: this entire process across the league period. Now, somebody may

415
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 2: bring somebody else to my attention, and that's fine. I

416
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 2: obviously am hosting Cleveland Browns Daily. That's where my focus is.

417
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,719
Speaker 2: I think mj Emerson is the biggest snub in all

418
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 2: the Pro Bowl. Now, you could say, had he made

419
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 2: it as had he made it as an alternate, would

420
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 2: I have been happy to that?

421
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 3: Sure.

422
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 2: By the way, somebody said that Amari Bill Rogers saying

423
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 2: Amari was selected as a starter, Denzel Ward selected as

424
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,439
Speaker 2: a reserve. Just something we can look into in a second.

425
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 2: Here's the thing, mj Emerson, it's just the biggest snub

426
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,679
Speaker 2: in the National Football League. Quite frankly, I've said it

427
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 2: on the broadcast, the star is born. I love everything

428
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 2: about him. I love everything he brings to this team.

429
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 2: I love everything he's brought to the city. I like

430
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 2: his leadership style, like his performance. He needs to be recognized,

431
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 2: and he'll be recognized on this show when whenever MJ.

432
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 3: Emerson is here.

433
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 2: I consider him a twenty twenty four All Pro, twenty

434
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 2: twenty three All Pro, and Pro Bowler. So that's how

435
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 2: I'm doing It's that's my approach to it. I think

436
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 2: that this is a gross, gross injustice. Number one, what

437
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 2: better do you want to your resume? Number one and

438
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 2: completion percentage allowed win targeted in the entire NFL, allowed

439
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 2: the fewest touchdowns and coverage in the entire NFL, and

440
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 2: number two in rating when targeted in the entire NFL.

441
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 2: He's only been bested in one of those three categories.

442
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 2: The guy who bested him Pro Bowler Jalen Johnson, outrageous

443
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 2: if you ask.

444
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 4: Me, so, where did it go wrong? Because didn't we

445
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 4: go through the fan vote yesterday.

446
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 2: I don't think he has the name recognition around the

447
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 2: league yet.

448
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 4: So but like, how do you not if you're a

449
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 4: player or.

450
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 3: Code, you're not watching our film unless they've played us.

451
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 4: Okay, well I'm gonna ask. I'm gonna ask a crazy question.

452
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 4: I would love to know.

453
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 3: No crazy questions, just crazy people.

454
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 4: Well we're getting to that level here.

455
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 7: Okay.

456
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 4: The big question is how many players actually voted?

457
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 3: And probably not as high a percentage as people would

458
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 3: like to believe.

459
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 4: You know, I mean, is it too difficult to vote?

460
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 4: Is there too many there are there too many things

461
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 4: that you have to fill.

462
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 2: Out and many and I'll I can I'll get the

463
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 2: answer to this. But I'm pretty sure they get handed

464
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 2: kind of like a blank list with the positions and

465
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 2: they just write and who they want. So it's not

466
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 2: like they even present like, hey, here are some of

467
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 2: the choices for you. So what do people know Sas Gardner?

468
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 2: Of course everybody knows Sas Gardner, so he's gonna make it.

469
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 2: They know Jalen Ramsey right like they know Denzel Ward,

470
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 2: who's been absolutely phenomenal and deserving of it this year.

471
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 2: But MJ Emerson is so deserving of going to the

472
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 2: Pro Bowl and being an All Pro that to me,

473
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 2: it is it's stunning to not even be recognized. How

474
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 2: many who are the cornerback alternates in the AFC?

475
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 4: So I don't have that list. I just have the starters, okay, backups, Okay,

476
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 4: I mean's just and someone was right, who knows gonna

477
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 4: get a demerit de merit?

478
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 6: Who know?

479
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 3: Thank you, mister Rogers.

480
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 4: Denzel's a reserve and uh Amar is a starter?

481
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 8: All right?

482
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 5: Not a great look there?

483
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,719
Speaker 2: It is, no, not great. It's fine, Pro bowlers, all

484
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 2: of them. But this, this mj Emerson, this mj Emerson stuff,

485
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 2: to me.

486
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 3: Is absolutely it's It's not okay.

487
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 2: It is a failure of the system, much the same

488
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 2: way that Joka being asked to compete for a Pro

489
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 2: Bowl spot against edge rushing pass rushers who should be

490
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 2: competing against Miles Garrett for a Pro Bowl spot is

491
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 2: also absurd. Off my soapbox. There it is. I've said it.

492
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 2: You guys know I love mj. Ridiculous. He has been

493
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 2: one of the best corners. If not, you can make

494
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 2: the case statistically speaking, you can make the case that

495
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 2: he's the best corner in the National Football League this year.

496
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 4: I might have a list of alternates.

497
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 3: Here, hit me.

498
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 6: Let's see.

499
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 3: Can I take a guess Lugerious Sneed, Marlon.

500
00:27:55,000 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 2: Humphrey, hold On, I gotta get through. We'll take a break.

501
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 2: We'll have giba ay look for this in the break.

502
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 2: By the way, practice updates. The Browns are on the

503
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 2: practice field as we speak, not practicing today. Amari Cooper,

504
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 2: Ethan Posk, Joel Bottonio, Greg Newsom, Shelby Harris, Aron Harmon,

505
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 2: Anthony Walker, Dustin Hopkins, Mike Ford, and Jordan Kunashik. Miles

506
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 2: Garrett named the Pro Football Writers Association Joe Thomas Award

507
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 2: winner as the best player on the klebe bounds this season,

508
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 2: and Joel Bottoni was named the Pro Football Writers Association

509
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 2: Dino Lucarelli Good Guy Award. The Good Guy Award is

510
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 2: given annually to a player for his cooperation with the

511
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 2: media and for the way the player carries himself in

512
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 2: the community and with his teammates. This is Botonio's fourth

513
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 2: time winning the award twenty seventeen, eighteen, twenty one, and

514
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 2: twenty three. I don't know it was wrong with them

515
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 2: nineteen twenty or twenty two. Joe Thomas twenty ten, twenty

516
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 2: thirteen is the only other player in team history to

517
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 2: win the award more than once. Both offensive linemen both

518
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 2: played together, both likely to end their careers wearing gold jackets.

519
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 2: One of those already have happened. All right, that's it.

520
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 2: Mj Emerson robbed. Next level is next kidding. We got

521
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 2: matchup day, we got Browns d Bengals offense. We got

522
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 2: Jim Schwartz from the podium. Coming up our number two,

523
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 2: We've got Alex van Pelt from the podium. Brown's offense

524
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 2: against the Bengals defense. Do we know who any these

525
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 2: people are? No, We'll look at the.

526
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 3: Overall Pro Bowl roster around the league.

527
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 2: We will probably revisit because I'm prett passionate about I'm

528
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 2: pretty animated about it. The robbery that occurred to mj Emerson,

529
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 2: pro bowler in my mind and in my heart.

530
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 3: Clen Browns Daily brought you by Bally Bett.

Speaker 4: Some luminaries slated to join us on set as well.

539
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 4: A lot to get to still today on the program,

540
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 4: including Jay Morrison from down in Cincinnati. As we get

541
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 4: ready for Bengals and Browns. We have not heard from

542
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 4: our defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz in a few weeks. Last

543
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 4: week with the short week and Thursday night, they didn't talk.

544
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 4: A lot to get to. A lot to recap with

545
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 4: coach from both the Houston game and of course the

546
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 4: Jets game and a look ahead to the playoffs and

547
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 4: the Bengals game on Sunday.

548
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 3: Have a listen.

549
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 9: Over the course of the first sixteen games, how teams

550
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 9: are sort of trying to attack you to counter what

551
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 9: you guys have been successful to you.

552
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 6: Now everybody's a little bit different. I would say this.

553
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 10: You know, in my history, teams that try to change

554
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 10: to counter another team or on the wrong track. The

555
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 10: teams that are probably played the best against us have

556
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 10: been teams to to stay truth to themselves and just

557
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 10: don't what they do best, you know, because that's sort

558
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 10: of that's sort of what we do on defense. You know,

559
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 10: everybody has little adjustments here and some game plan things here,

560
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 10: and you know, you have that cat and mouse.

561
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 6: Game all around.

562
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 10: But you know, if if we're forcing a team to

563
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 10: completely change course and do something at a character, I

564
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 10: might be mission accomplished for us. You know, like when

565
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 10: we played on Thursday night, we had a really crappy

566
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 10: first series of the game, countered some of the things

567
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 10: that they were doing, and then you know, and then

568
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 10: you know, really started, you know, playing some good defense

569
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 10: after that. But there's always that part of the game,

570
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 10: you know, But we try to.

571
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 6: Be true to ourselves. We try to do what fits

572
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 6: our player's.

573
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 10: Best and you know, with little minor adjustments and things

574
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 10: like that, but we try not to play totally out

575
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 10: of character, even when and uh, we're playing an opponent.

576
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 5: Jim, how do you talk about Greg? You knew he

577
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 5: would bounce back after that Denver game.

578
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 11: How do you think he's playing over this final four

579
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 11: game stretch?

580
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 6: Yeah? What are we no?

581
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 7: No?

582
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, four and zero in that stretch, yeah, eleven and five.

583
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it just to the point of year

584
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 6: you sort of lose track.

585
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, i'd classify him there. I'd say this,

586
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 10: I'm really proud of our corners. We put a lot

587
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 10: of pressure on our corners, you know. I mean you

588
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 10: go look at the snaps of cover two and quarters

589
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 10: we play and we have to be near the bottom

590
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 10: of the NFL, and and those snaps and those things.

591
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 10: A lot of times you can do to protect your corners.

592
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 10: Those guys all relish to one on one. You can't

593
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 10: play corner if you know, if you're trying to hide.

594
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 10: And you know Greg, he's not trying to hide, you know,

595
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 10: probably the opposite. Brings a lot of energy. He's always

596
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 10: up for the challenge. He brings his his teammates energy,

597
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 10: you know. And I think, like I'd say this, I

598
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 10: wouldn't trade our corner room for anybody in the NFL.

599
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 12: Think Ken has done this year as a head coach.

600
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 6: I think he's coach of the year. I mean, I

601
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 6: don't think that's even close. He's just such a steady

602
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 6: hand with the team.

603
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 10: You know, you guys, ever, you guys ever see that

604
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 10: movie Dustin Hoffman Wagged the Dog? Remember remember that when

605
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 10: he was like that, like a movie producer, and and

606
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 10: and things would go bad, like with their whole like

607
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 10: project that they were having. You know, it would be

608
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 10: a disaster, there'd be something going on, and he just

609
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 10: kept going, you think, this is something, this is nothing.

610
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 10: One time I was on, you know, one time I

611
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 10: was on to shoot Knistan Bull and you know, then

612
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 10: this happened, and you know, it just sort of put

613
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 10: it in perspective. But you know, head coach should be

614
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 10: a steadying influence in a team, and I don't think

615
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 10: anybody exemplifies that better than Kevin. You know, good coaches

616
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:10,720
Speaker 10: can you know, round out the roller coaster nature which

617
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 10: is the NFL. Right, you know, like you're going to

618
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 10: have highs, you're going to have lows over the course

619
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 10: of the season, and you know you want to be

620
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 10: you want to be the person that can that can

621
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 10: level out those.

622
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 6: Like you almost look a good hedge fund manager, you know.

623
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 10: And I think Kevin's he's been, he's he's awesome in

624
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 10: the work for I got a ton of respect for him.

625
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 10: And you know, we we've we've had a couple spots

626
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,760
Speaker 10: this year where we haven't played great, but we've already

627
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 10: always been able to bounce back. And I think players

628
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 10: take a lot of confidence in Kevin's confidence and his

629
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 10: ability to handle all these different situations. You know, a

630
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 10: lot's been made of the quarterback position, but you can

631
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 10: go down a list of a lot of other situations,

632
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 10: particularly injuries that have come and you know, and and

633
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 10: found way to you know, to still be successful and

634
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 10: have the record that we have.

635
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 6: It's it's really been impressive.

636
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 13: You guys have had to deal with it like it

637
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 13: might torpedo other teams, not just the quarterback, but all

638
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:12,320
Speaker 13: the injuries that you've.

639
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:12,879
Speaker 14: Had to deal with.

640
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 6: Yeah.

641
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, I like our culture that way, you know, And

642
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 10: I think, you know, sometimes sometimes I don't watch a

643
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 10: ton of other teams, but sometimes you can see frustration

644
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,760
Speaker 10: come out of other teams. You can see guys throwing helmets.

645
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 10: You can see guys, you know, in scraps on the sideline,

646
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 10: coaches and players and players and players and coaches and

647
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 10: coaches and stuff like that. And you haven't seen any

648
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 10: any of that from our team. You know, if the

649
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 10: offense turns the ball over, you don't see the defense

650
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 10: pointing a finger at them or throwing helmets. And you know,

651
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 10: if the defense gives up a touchdown, you know, those guys,

652
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 10: you know, those guys are supportive and you know.

653
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:56,439
Speaker 6: And I think that culture and everything is.

654
00:35:56,360 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 10: A sign of coaching also, So yeah, I'm really proud

655
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 10: to work for Kevin.

656
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 15: That's good Emerson that you know, he's had a great year.

657
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 6: But are his penalties aggravating to you? And can they

658
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 6: be correct?

659
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 10: Well, I would say this, like part of part of

660
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:19,800
Speaker 10: playing corner is being aggressive with your technique. And here's

661
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 10: the thing with some of his penalties, as long as

662
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 10: they're not in situations like third down and long second

663
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 10: and extra long things where you have the offense, you know,

664
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 10: really in a jam right second and twenty and you

665
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 10: get an ICT five yards, but first down, you know,

666
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 10: third down and twelve you get a defensive holding first down,

667
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 10: and he hasn't had a ton of those, you know,

668
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 10: And I think that you know, you got to push

669
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 10: the envelope a little bit when you're a corner because

670
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 10: you know, like you can go the other way. You

671
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 10: can be so averse to penalties as you don't cover anybody,

672
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 10: you never put your hands on people. And you know,

673
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 10: I think he's got a pretty good balance. And that's

674
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 10: one of the things we preach to guys. You know,

675
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,959
Speaker 10: we're get off team up front. We know we're gonna

676
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,359
Speaker 10: be outside sometimes. Let's not be stupid about it, right,

677
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 10: Let's not be all sides when it's you know, when

678
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 10: it's third and two. Let's not be all sides when

679
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 10: it's backed up. Let's not be all sides after a

680
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 10: penalty or you know, one of those things. And it's

681
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 10: the same with corners. They got to be able to

682
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 10: pick and choose their spots a little bit. You know,

683
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 10: they're on an island a lot. Like I said, we

684
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 10: don't protect those guys a lot. We put a lot

685
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 10: on them. And there's some good wide receivers, there some

686
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 10: good quarterbacks in this league.

687
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 15: It's the legal context getting beat with the first step off.

688
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 6: I don't know if i'd classify them all.

689
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 10: You know, I think anytime that you have either d

690
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 10: H or an ICT, for the most part, it's it's

691
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 10: where you you lost early, right, you lost airy and

692
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 10: then you're trying to catch up. So you know, it's

693
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 10: your your feet aren't in the greatest position. You cover

694
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 10: with your feet, even though there's hands involved in it.

695
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,399
Speaker 10: But you know, Jen either I'm just talking about MJ.

696
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 10: I'm talking about all across the league. You know, same

697
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 10: thing with offensive holding, you know, guys don't hold if

698
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 10: they're in good position, you know, and and it's the

699
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 10: same thing with d H or or ICT and and

700
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 10: things like that.

701
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,879
Speaker 6: ICT. Sometimes you know, you can just be front along

702
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 6: guys and.

703
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 10: You know, you get collisions and sometimes you know they're

704
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 10: sort of if he calls. But you know, I don't

705
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 10: know that we've had a ton of those, but you know,

706
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 10: I would I would emphasize again, like the pressure we

707
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 10: put on those guys, and you know, there's not.

708
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:35,439
Speaker 6: A lot of help.

709
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,720
Speaker 10: There's not a lot of easy downs for those guys.

710
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 10: There's not a lot of place to hide. Everybody can

711
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 10: see them on every single play. Takes a mentality to

712
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 10: do that, takes a skill set to do that. And

713
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 10: MJ has that. He's a he's had a great year

714
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 10: this year, as you know, I mean, it's been it's

715
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 10: been impressive to watch Pro Bowl. Didn't agree, but you know,

716
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 10: we're really glad to have him. We're glad to have

717
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 10: him and Denzel and know some and everybody.

718
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 16: You are obviously leading the number one defense in the NFL.

719
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 16: To share is starting to be that time of year

720
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 16: where excellent cour years are going to be getting attention

721
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 16: for head coaching each other.

722
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 7: Would you like to be a head coach again?

723
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 13: How much would you like to be a head coach again?

724
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 10: Well, first of all, I'm I'm really happy here. I

725
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 10: talked about Kevin.

726
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 6: I haven't really talked about Andrew Berry or the Haslums.

727
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 6: But I love this organization. I love the city of Cleveland.

728
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 10: That was such a such a great atmosphere thirty one

729
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 10: years in the NFL, that was probably that was one

730
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 10: of my top five atmospheres. You know, that Thursday night,

731
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 10: we needed to share that with the players. You know,

732
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 10: we got a lot of energy from them. We needed

733
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 10: to give them a little energy pay them back. Not

734
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 10: many chances you have to be able to clinch ad home.

735
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:49,839
Speaker 6: So you know all that.

736
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,399
Speaker 10: But I but I'd say this, like in any any

737
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 10: job that you do, you always you always aspire to

738
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 10: the top of that profession.

739
00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 6: And I'm no different.

740
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 12: There obviously of the Pro Bowl last say, but what

741
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 12: as he's dealt with injury this season?

742
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 4: What has he been to that corner room in his

743
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 4: his leadership style Denzel?

744
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 10: Yeah, we're a better defense when Denzel's on the field

745
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,919
Speaker 10: and healthy. You know, he's he's one of the best

746
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 10: corners I've coached in those in those thirty one years, you.

747
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 6: Know, and he's he's at a battle.

748
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 10: You know, he he went through a month where he

749
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 10: either wasn't playing or you know, was playing, and he

750
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 10: wasn't one hundred percent. But he's he's rounding out in

751
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 10: the better physical condition as we get, you know, closer

752
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 10: to this end of the season in the postseason, and

753
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,839
Speaker 10: we need him, you know, not only his coverage, but

754
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 10: I think it's a little been a little bit underrated

755
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:49,280
Speaker 10: about Denzel this year. Is up until the shoulder injury,

756
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 10: had been the tackling. He made some big hits for us,

757
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 10: made some big third down stops, came up and stuck

758
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 10: some screen passes, limited run after the catch, you know,

759
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 10: all those things. You know, it hadn't always looked great

760
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 10: over the last month. But now he's getting better. And

761
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 10: you know, I think that's been a part of his

762
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 10: game that he was very serious about improving.

763
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 6: I think it showed and I think it will.

764
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 10: Show as as we go forward. He's got vet experience.

765
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 10: You know, he's he's he's another one. You know, we

766
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 10: talked about Newsom, we talked about MJ. You know, Denzel's

767
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,280
Speaker 10: never met a one on one matchup, that he didn't

768
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 10: that he didn't relish, that he didn't he didn't.

769
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 6: Want to win.

770
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 10: And we have confidence in those guys. They have confidence

771
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 10: in themselves. They are the tip of the spear when

772
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 10: it comes to our defense. We talk a lot about

773
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 10: our d line as our engine and thirty people that

774
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,240
Speaker 10: give us the energy and the pace of which we play.

775
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 10: But you know, if a defensive lineman is out of

776
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 10: their gap or misses a play, nobody really notices it, right,

777
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 10: you know. I mean it can get over It can

778
00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 10: get overlooked because a linebacker goes up and fills a

779
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 10: game app or safety makes a tackle.

780
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 6: But if a.

781
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 10: Corner fails want to play, everybody sees it. It takes a

782
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 10: different mentality to be able to live with that. And

783
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 10: Denzel's got Denzel's got that. He can play off, he

784
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:15,800
Speaker 10: can play press. You know, he's He's a pleasure to coach.

785
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 10: He gives us great leadership. I mean, you know, why.

786
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:22,280
Speaker 12: Did you know what if you noticed from Ronnie Hickman

787
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 12: and Dan C. Bell behind the scenes and meetings, practices whatever,

788
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 12: to be able to be ready.

789
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,760
Speaker 6: For what's happening. Yeah, you know, like early in the season.

790
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 10: You know, we were pretty healthy at that position, and

791
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 10: all of a sudden it started hitting.

792
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,720
Speaker 6: You know, we we lost Rodney McLeod.

793
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 10: We lost you know, Grant, we lost Wuan and you know,

794
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 10: those guys who had different roles. Ronnie was inactive even

795
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 10: though he played in the opener, you know, because jan

796
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,280
Speaker 10: couldn't play in the opener, went in and played really.

797
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 6: Well for us.

798
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 10: But you know, those guys, those guys like were ready

799
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 10: when their time came. Ronnie made improvements over the course

800
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 10: of the year. Deep Bell made really good improvements over the

801
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 10: course of the year. Was a special teams player, but

802
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 10: kept working, and you know, and those guys and Harmon,

803
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 10: you know, I think that you know, it's nothing like

804
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 10: having your your starters right, having Grant and having won

805
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 10: and you know those guys out there, but it's it's

806
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 10: life in the NFL. You're not always going to have

807
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,280
Speaker 10: those and those guys were ready when there the number

808
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 10: was called. We saw Ronnie making some plays in the

809
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 10: preseason and he's continued that. The thing I've been most

810
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 10: proud about both of those guys had they've been so

811
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 10: assignment sound, and you know, Ronnie's a rookie and you know,

812
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 10: d Bell's still a young player. That's mainly been a

813
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,479
Speaker 10: special team role, you know, and a lot of times

814
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 10: when those guys come in, you know you're sort of

815
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 10: fighting assignment sound and you know, being in the right spots.

816
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 10: But you know, like you know, they've they've they've been

817
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 10: in the right spots. They've had very few missed assignments.

818
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,919
Speaker 10: They've played like veterans, and you know, at this point

819
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 10: year there are no rookies and h Ronnie has really

820
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 10: lived that, you know, in the perfect spot by the

821
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 10: coverage and you know that interception and that score number one, it.

822
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 6: Brought the house down.

823
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 10: But you know it really like you know, I don't

824
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 10: know how much of a game it was after that, right,

825
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 10: I think that was you know, like you know, there's

826
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 10: some people talk about the dagger and things like that,

827
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 10: even though that was early in the game, Like you

828
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,320
Speaker 10: know that that was that that was really a dagger

829
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 10: and you know he's that kind of playmaker. All those

830
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 10: guys have been impressive. Looks like you know, we got

831
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:37,760
Speaker 10: wom back for some snaps. You know, get those guys.

832
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 10: You know, he's been able to play multiple positions. Yeah,

833
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 10: a lot.

834
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 6: Of good things about those guys.

835
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 2: That's Brown's defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz at the podium. When

836
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 2: we come back, we'll take a look at the Browns

837
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 2: defense against the Bengals offense, some of the highlights, some

838
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 2: of the young guys who I think will get to

839
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 2: play a lot in this game. We're not sure yet

840
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 2: what is going to happen with the sense NATI Bengals

841
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,760
Speaker 2: side of things, but it looks like from their practice

842
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,240
Speaker 2: and injury report, they weren't sitting a lot of people

843
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:05,720
Speaker 2: in practice.

844
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 3: It was t Higgins was the only one.

845
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:09,320
Speaker 2: They had a couple guys limited, Jamar Chase amongst them

846
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:11,399
Speaker 2: with that shoulder injury, but he actually played last week

847
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 2: and played the most snaps of any receiver for the

848
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengals. All right, when we come back, we'll take

849
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,520

Speaker 4: Yeah, Jay Morrison from Pro Football Network, our good friend

864
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 4: down there in Cincinnati. He will join us at two

865
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 4: point thirty. Uh, did not see Joe Mixon. A stretch begins.

866
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 4: T Higgins off to the side on the bike. I

867
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 4: would assume T Higgins season.

868
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:42,280
Speaker 2: Is yeah, with a hammy career low forty two catches,

869
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 2: six hundred and fifty six yards, six touchdowns for T

870
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 2: Higgins this season had over one thousand and twenty one

871
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 2: to twenty two. He's a pending free agent. Maybe helps

872
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 2: somebody get him at a discount, Babe. Maybe Joe Mixon

873
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 2: seventy seventy yards away from his fourth one thousand yard

874
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:02,840
Speaker 2: season is first since twenty twenty one. Sounds like Brown's

875
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 2: new quarterback, Jeff Do.

876
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 4: You want to go listen to somebody.

877
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 2: Let's listen to him. Let's get to meet Jeff Driscoll,

878
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 2: the Browns starting quarterback this week.

879
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 5: You're it out right.

880
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 17: Just handle the moment, and that's what I've been doing

881
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 17: the last you know, five or six days, and just

882
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 17: happy to be here.

883
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 13: Kevin had mentioned to us the fact that you work

884
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,840
Speaker 13: with Drew Petzi, who has been here in the offense,

885
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 13: is a little similar.

886
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:26,399
Speaker 11: So I guess in such a short amount of time here,

887
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 11: has the transition been a little easier from a familiarity standard.

888
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean as much as uh, you know, one

889
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 17: offense to another, there's probably not a much smoother transition,

890
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 17: you know, terminology wise, obviously like somebody else calling it.

891
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 17: You know, new guys around you. The bigger thing has

892
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 17: been getting to know my teammates more than getting to

893
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 17: know the system, which I think is a good thing.

894
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 15: Jeff changed the teams this lent the season is one thing.

895
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 7: But getting put in that game?

896
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 15: Did you sign knowing your probably play?

897
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I didn't know what was gonna happen.

898
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 17: You know, when you get an opportunity to get on

899
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 17: a fifty three men roster, you take it. You know,

900
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 17: that's typically the fastest path to the field, and you know,

901
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 17: that's that's what my thought process was. So came here,

902
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:13,720
Speaker 17: I had a chance to get on a fifty three

903
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 17: and uh, you know, looking forward to the opportunity on Sunday.

904
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 5: So those those.

905
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 3: Initial conversations have been like as he was telling you where.

906
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:24,240
Speaker 4: To start, well, just kind of working for this speak.

907
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean it was the same message that everybody got, like,

908
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 17: we're gonna go out and try to win this game.

909
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:30,879
Speaker 5: And that's what we've been doing all week.

910
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 17: We've been you know, working hard, you know, getting to

911
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 17: know our opponent, get to know the game plan. But

912
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 17: that's really been the message is go try to win

913
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 17: a football game.

914
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 15: So you're gonna said one of the backroud things that's

00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 16: as he has a lot of familiarity to importing.

929
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean the level of familiar familiarity is huge.

930
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 17: You know, seeing seeing a face that you recognize and you.

931
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:30,840
Speaker 5: Know that you've worked with is comforting.

932
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:33,239
Speaker 17: So it's been it's been good to get back with

933
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 17: him and be in the room with him.

934
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:35,919
Speaker 5: So it's been really good.

935
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 17: Through the inside, it's an outsiders like to see this

936
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 17: team were quarterbacks and now with fitz Stark being the playoffs. Yeah,

937
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 17: it's like you said, from the outside, you don't really

938
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 17: know much. You know, you see guys go down, you

939
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 17: see a different guy in there, you know, throughout.

940
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 5: The season, and it's difficult.

941
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 17: You know, you see teams where you know, a key

942
00:49:57,640 --> 00:49:59,919
Speaker 17: player goes down and it just derails the season.

943
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 5: And it's been it's been the.

944
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 17: Opposite here and I think it's uh, you know, it's

945
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 17: the way that the culture is built hill here, the

946
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 17: way that the roster was built here. It really is

947
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 17: a full team and you know that's that's what it

948
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 17: takes to be successful.

949
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 13: So the first week here because not only trying to

950
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 13: learn this system here, but you also gotta to prepare

951
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 13: for the back of those defense.

952
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,359
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean all all all weeks are hard, right,

953
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 17: Like there's a lot thrown at you week in and

954
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 17: week out. So I mean it's a little bit of

955
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 17: a challenge, you know, getting to you know, meet people

956
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:33,360
Speaker 17: for the first time, shake their hand and then go

957
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:35,760
Speaker 17: play with them. So that's a that's a little bit different.

958
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 17: But yeah, I mean it's a really good defense and uh,

959
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 17: you know we've watched a lot of tape on them.

960
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 17: You know, the staff and the other guys here know

961
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:44,439
Speaker 17: them a little bit better than I do just from

962
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 17: playing in the last few years. But yeah, it's it's

963
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 17: a challenge, but that's that's the NFL. It's a challenge

964
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 17: every week.

965
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 5: You know, you're the first quarterback in this series starts.

966
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 15: That's for the teams.

967
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I heard that.

968
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 17: That's an interesting stat I'm surprised that, uh that's a thing,

969
00:50:59,120 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 17: but yeah, I heard that.

970
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 5: Whatever that means. Yeah, yeah, all right.

971
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:05,840
Speaker 15: And your first touchdown was against his.

972
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:07,239
Speaker 5: Remember that I do.

973
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:07,680

Speaker 8: You know.

977
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 17: I threw a touchdown on the scene to Tyler Boyd

978
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 17: and he uh proceeded to throw my first touchdown ball

979
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:21,080

982
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:28,359
Speaker 17: was like, where's the ball and he's like, I don't know,

983
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:32,759
Speaker 17: like what, Yeah, I think it was from about this

984
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:33,239
Speaker 17: far away.

985
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 5: But yeah, keep that one. No, no, not that one obviously.

988
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:47,879
Speaker 17: he was in Denver the year before I was there,

989
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:52,279
Speaker 17: and uh, Brett Rippon and Drew Locke you know, said

990
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 17: really good things about him.

991
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 5: And uh all true. Mean, you know me, from the outside,

992
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:02,719
Speaker 5: I've been on ease just coming in with Mona roa number.

993
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,320
Speaker 17: Yeah, it's huge. He was, you know, out of football

994
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 17: the whole year and you know, just living you know,

995
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 17: relatively civilian life. Coming in here, getting back into the

996
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 17: swing of an NFL building NFL season and getting dressed

997
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:20,479
Speaker 17: in pretty quickly. It's uh, it's been fun to watch

998
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:23,479
Speaker 17: from the outside, but uh, you know, being being here

999
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:25,280
Speaker 17: and seeing it, I'm not surprised.

1000
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 5: Ken you talked about just getting happymated getting into the guys.

1001
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 5: There's a lot sit about this locker room, just how.

1002
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:34,360
Speaker 13: Tag it is and the fact that they're going to

1003
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 13: A five and all this.

1004
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 5: What's your first impressions and some of the guys that

1005
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 5: you have.

1006
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:43,279
Speaker 17: On Yeah, I mean there's a reason that you know,

1007
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:46,399
Speaker 17: the record is what it is. Obviously it's a talented group,

1008
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:49,319
Speaker 17: but like you mentioned, really tight knit group, really good

1009
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 17: guys across the board, and uh, you know you need

1010
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:56,480
Speaker 17: that over the course of the season. Felt, I don't

1011
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 17: think so. I mean, you're every player in this league,

1012
00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:03,439
Speaker 17: like their resume is what they put on the field.

1013
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 17: But you know, we're worried about winning this game, and

1014
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 17: that's that's all I'm worried about. If I start thinking

1015
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 17: about stuff down the line, you know, whether this year

1016
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 17: years to come, you know, I would be doing this

1017
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 17: team and disservice and what were you You.

1018
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:24,479
Speaker 15: Were here with the Cardinals in their flight there right, yes, yeah, yeah, tough,

1019
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 15: tough defense, right, like good schematically, you know, good physically

1020
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 15: and uh, really really deep units.

1021
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:34,680
Speaker 17: So the reason they're at top of the league, you

1022
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 17: know in terms of team defense.

1023
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:40,400
Speaker 15: Is thought that you might play in that game or

1024
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 15: did you know going on?

1025
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 17: You know, like I was up that was the one year,

1026
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:46,800
Speaker 17: that's this year that I was elevated from the practice squad.

1027
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:49,480
Speaker 17: So I mean I had the I had the mindset

1028
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 17: that I'm one snap away, you know, and that's that's reality.

1029
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 17: So I was I was prepared to play. I didn't

1030
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,799
Speaker 17: know what was gonna happen. But anytime if you give

1031
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 17: the back up, you got to be ready to go.

1032
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:01,280
Speaker 16: Stick around years here throughout the playoffs.

1033
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,400

1038
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 17: and support him in whatever way I can. I don't

1039
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 17: know what that is, but uh, you know, just like

1040
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,000

00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:28,439
Speaker 8: Be a pre stiege up in a game and see

1081
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 8: what he can hash him his team. Yeah.

1082
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 14: No, Jeff's a guy that has a lot of athleticism.

1083
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:35,560
Speaker 14: He's a bigger guy. He's than a strong arm. And

1084
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:38,400
Speaker 14: I'm very familiar with Jeff from our time together in Cincinnati,

1085
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:41,719
Speaker 14: and I you know, I think with you know, with

1086
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 14: Dorian being moved, I arc gives us a chance to

1087
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 14: bring another athletic body in that could.

1088
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:49,440
Speaker 8: Fill some of the role that Dorian played, So it'd

1089
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 8: be good to get him in.

1090
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:53,960
Speaker 14: He has familiarity with the system, obviously coming from Arizona,

1091
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 14: and the familiarity from the since he days, some of

1092
00:56:56,239 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 14: that stuff has carried here, So I think he feels

1093
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 14: comfortable with where we are and works to see what

1094
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:00,959
Speaker 14: he can.

1095
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:04,880
Speaker 9: Do as a quarterback poise. I mean, when it's something

1096
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 9: that Joe you know that a lot of people talk

1097
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 9: about Joe with Joe, is that something almost innate with it?

1098
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:13,280
Speaker 9: I mean, you played the position. Is that something that's

1099
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 9: I mean, it's you either have it or you don't.

1100
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:17,720
Speaker 9: It's not something you kind of developed.

1101
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 8: You know. He's always had it, you know. I think

1102
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:20,680
Speaker 8: that's the biggest thing.

1103
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 14: You He's played a ton of football, you know, so

1104
00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 14: he knows how to move in the pocket, he knows

1105
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 14: when he's hot, when he's warm, when he has to

1106
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 14: get rid of the ball. All those things. Is just

1107
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:33,160
Speaker 14: that that veteran experience, and it's paid off. I mean

1108
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 14: he's made plays versus cover zero where they had one

1109
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:38,680
Speaker 14: more than we could block, and he bought time, you know,

1110
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 14: he just knows how to operate and just about all

1111
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:42,880
Speaker 14: circumstances because he's seen them all.

1112
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 12: That was probably want to drill for its best games

1113
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:46,760
Speaker 12: on Thursday night.

1114
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:49,200
Speaker 11: Just what did you see from him on those especially

1115
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:51,479
Speaker 11: the first touchdown and then the big pass play.

1116
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's a tough tackle in the open field.

1117
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 14: His feet are so quick, you know, his contact balance

1118
00:57:57,040 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 14: is outstanding, broke tackles to score late, some big runs,

1119
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:03,360
Speaker 14: broke tackles. I mean, it's all the things we've we've

1120
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 14: always seen from Jerome. His pass protection was excellent. He

1121
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 14: was one of the best teammates on the field. He

1122
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:09,640
Speaker 14: was picking guys up.

1123
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:10,920
Speaker 8: I agree.

1124
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:13,000
Speaker 14: I thought it was one of Jerome's best games to date.

1125
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:14,920
Speaker 14: So look forward to build on that in the in

1126
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 14: the future. But he's playing at a high level.

1127
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 17: How has he kind of grown into that job over

1128
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 17: this year.

1129
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:23,000
Speaker 14: I mean he got thrust into it early and and

1130
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 14: it's kind of just warmed up to it and it's

1131
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 14: taken on that role. We said it would take a

1132
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 14: lot of shoes, you know, feet to phill Nick's shoes,

1133
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:31,920
Speaker 14: and he stepped up to the challenge. Really proud of him.

1134
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 14: All three backs really had had a solid day last week.

1135
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 11: I speaking of that.

1136
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 12: On Kareem Hunt with another rushing touchdown out.

1137
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 5: That's a career high for him in this season.

1138
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 12: Another guy who was sitting and waiting for an opportunity.

1139
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 5: Obviously there's a different familiarity here.

1140
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 8: With right with recent years.

1141
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:52,240
Speaker 12: But was it a pleasant surprise the way he's been

1142
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 12: able to come in and do everything he's been able to.

1143
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 8: Do give that he was waiting, Yeah, it is is.

1144
00:58:57,160 --> 00:58:59,560
Speaker 14: I mean he's added so much productivity their offense down

1145
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:03,080
Speaker 14: and tight especially you know, his ability to run hard

1146
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 14: between the tackles is something that stands out, and especially when.

1147
00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 8: He gets around the goal line. It's hard to deny

1148
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:09,360
Speaker 8: him the goal line.

1149
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:11,840
Speaker 14: He'll he'll run guys over if he needs to, but

1150
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 14: he smells the end zone he gets in. That's just

1151
00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:16,680
Speaker 14: part of what he's done for us this season. He's

1152
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 14: made huge runs on third down for us and he's

1153
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:23,280
Speaker 14: had great protection. So the value that he's brought us

1154
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 14: this season has been huge. And really proud of him,

1155
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:28,280
Speaker 14: you know, not a great circumstance. Didn't want to not

1156
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 14: be on a team, I'm sure, but once we got

1157
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 14: him here, man, he was He's been all on board,

1158
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:35,040
Speaker 14: and he's been a great teammate as well.

1159
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:39,200
Speaker 16: How about Dave making his first problem just the season.

1160
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 5: Team?

1161
00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:42,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, you know how I feel about Dave.

1162
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:44,160
Speaker 14: I could not be happier because there's a guy that

1163
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 14: just has done nothing but put us, keep his head

1164
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:49,840
Speaker 14: down and work. You know, has gotten better every year

1165
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:53,120
Speaker 14: we've been together, and just so happy. You know, I'm

1166
00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:55,880
Speaker 14: proud of him, and I'm glad that he got the

1167
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 14: accomplishments because he deserves him.

1168
00:59:57,680 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 8: He's really playing at that level.

1169
00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 14: And again, just really happy, happy for Dave because there's

1170
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:05,800
Speaker 14: a guy that does it the right way and it's

1171
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:06,840
Speaker 14: it's paid off for him.

1172
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 13: Well, it was mentioned, Jeff, your fifth started quarterback this year.

1173
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 13: You guys were the first team in NFL history to

1174
01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 13: have four different started quarterbacks this season make the playoffs.

1175
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:18,480
Speaker 13: Just can you put in perspective like how unique of

1176
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 13: an experience this year has been given those circumstances, and

1177
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:22,920
Speaker 13: what has it been like for you to be able

1178
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 13: to work with all those guys.

1179
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:26,840
Speaker 14: It's been a great experience. It's one I'll always cherish

1180
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 14: and remember. It's been a unique year. Challenging has been

1181
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:34,240
Speaker 14: a lot of adversity, but the room has always been solid.

1182
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:36,440
Speaker 14: You know, we always feel like we're gonna try to

1183
01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 14: get whoever's playing in the best position to win for

1184
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:41,280
Speaker 14: the team. And I think Kevin has really done a

1185
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:44,160
Speaker 14: great job of catering how he calls the game to

1186
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:47,000
Speaker 14: each player. Again, he's he's always thinking about their strengths

1187
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 14: and then trying to protect them from their weaknesses. And

1188
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:51,320
Speaker 14: I think it's a you know, a lot of it

1189
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 14: comes down to how Kevin calls those games. A lot

1190
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 14: of it comes down to how confident those guys are

1191
01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:58,920
Speaker 14: going into those games. And that's you know, the quarterback

1192
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:01,720
Speaker 14: room is always a tight room, and we've had multiple

1193
01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:04,040
Speaker 14: people in and multiple people have stepped up. And again

1194
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 14: so proud of Dorian and pj and and Joe and

1195
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:10,080
Speaker 14: you know Deshaun. I mean, he played through some stuff

1196
01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:13,320
Speaker 14: that was incredible. So to get to where we are

1197
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 14: now has been rewarding. It's been challenging, but uh, it's

1198
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 14: definitely a year that you know, i'll, i'll, i'll uh

1199
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:19,120
Speaker 14: not forget.

1200
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:21,680
Speaker 11: Obviously, Jerome was a big part of the run game

1201
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:23,920
Speaker 11: on Thursday night, but what else do you think was

1202
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:26,880
Speaker 11: working After the previ previous couple of weeks had been.

1203
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:27,720
Speaker 7: A successful key one.

1204
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:31,480
Speaker 14: That's tough. Uh, you know, that's that's a good defense.

1205
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 14: We faced a bunch of good defenses prior to that.

1206
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 14: I think we just w we were on that night,

1207
01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:38,840
Speaker 14: you know. I think their scheme that we ran that

1208
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:40,920
Speaker 14: night was was suited for that defense.

1209
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:44,160
Speaker 8: Not getting into detail, but yeah, I really proud of

1210
01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:44,520
Speaker 8: those guys.

1211
01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:47,440
Speaker 14: Challenged him earlier that we we need to run the

1212
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:50,080
Speaker 14: ball against the Jets, and I thought we could and

1213
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:51,080
Speaker 14: we did, and was proud.

1214
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:51,320
Speaker 6: Of those guys.

1215
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:54,640
Speaker 16: Some of your young guys have to uh grow up

1216
01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:57,000
Speaker 16: in a hurry for these playoffs. Is what do you

1217
01:01:57,040 --> 01:01:58,880
Speaker 16: need to see from from said Tilney.

1218
01:01:58,960 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 1: He got run in.

1219
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:01,960
Speaker 8: Your last Yeah.

1220
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 14: Yeah, he just needs to be himself, you know, just

1221
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:07,480
Speaker 14: you know, dive into the plan each week and and

1222
01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:10,160
Speaker 14: you know, have a full understanding of what we're asking

1223
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 14: him to do. Alignments, assignments, technique. Everything is a rookie,

1224
01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 14: you know. I told those guys this morning, this is

1225
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:16,960
Speaker 14: not the time to let up. It's the time to

1226
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:20,680
Speaker 14: double down. These these opportunities are special and you don't

1227
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 14: know when you get your next one. So but at

1228
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 14: the same time, I've been around a lot of teams

1229
01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:27,560
Speaker 14: that gives to these games and the playoff games, then

1230
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:30,320
Speaker 14: they get super tight and you make a ton of mistakes.

1231
01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:32,560
Speaker 14: So it's finding that happy medium and let's do our job.

1232
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:35,640
Speaker 14: Let's just do our job, execute one play at a time.

1233
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:37,600
Speaker 14: And you know, but that said's job. He needs to

1234
01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:40,040
Speaker 14: just do his job each week and if he just

1235
01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:42,040
Speaker 14: does that, we'll be just fine, Alex.

1236
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 12: So obviously we'll talk about the quarterbacks all the time

1237
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:47,360
Speaker 12: with how many of you guys haven using offensive tackles

1238
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:49,680
Speaker 12: up there too? You know, what are you getting out

1239
01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:52,400
Speaker 12: of those two guys right now and what is kind

1240
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 12: of impressed you most about the way they've been able

1241
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 12: to do?

1242
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:57,439
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean they're playing their butts off on the edge.

1243
01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 14: They really are. I'm really proud of both those guys.

1244
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:05,120
Speaker 14: You know, HUD's been here the longest and I've seen

1245
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:06,880
Speaker 14: him develop from the day he got here as the

1246
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:09,560
Speaker 14: only you know, rookie lineman that was in that class

1247
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:12,000
Speaker 14: and the three on one work he got with Coach

1248
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:13,920
Speaker 14: Callahan and Coach Peters and coach to Costa.

1249
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:16,400
Speaker 8: So I watched that growth and I'm proud of him

1250
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:16,720
Speaker 8: as well.

1251
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:18,200
Speaker 14: I Mean, he's a guy that just has gone out

1252
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:20,480
Speaker 14: and blocked whoever they put in front of him, and

1253
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:22,960
Speaker 14: then to gern to come in halfway through and to

1254
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:24,640
Speaker 14: be able to do what he did. I think we

1255
01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:26,640
Speaker 14: had one sack last week and that was on a

1256
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 14: fall down naked keeper. Really really proud of those guys

1257
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:33,480
Speaker 14: up front, their protection really last three weeks.

1258
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 3: All right.

1259
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 2: That's Brown's offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelton. He's right, the

1260
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:40,600
Speaker 2: protection has been very good. Jaron Christian's allowed one sack

1261
01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:44,200
Speaker 2: in his last five games, Ethan Posik has allowed one,

1262
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:46,240
Speaker 2: has not allowed a sack since Week six.

1263
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:48,320
Speaker 3: So yeah, this line, they've done.

1264
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:51,040
Speaker 2: A very very good job matchups in this one for

1265
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:52,960
Speaker 2: the Browns. Here's what I expect to see a lot

1266
01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:55,560
Speaker 2: of Pierre Strong. I'm excited about that. How does Pierre

1267
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:59,000
Speaker 2: Strong fare against the rush defense of the Bengals, which

1268
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:01,360
Speaker 2: ranks twenty six in the NFL giving up on hundred

1269
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 2: and twenty eight yards four point eight yards of carry.

1270
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 2: They lost DJ Reider a few weeks ago. That put

1271
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:07,480
Speaker 2: a big hole in the middle of that defensive line.

1272
01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:08,720
Speaker 2: So I'm excited. Think we're gonna see a lot of

1273
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:10,920
Speaker 2: Pierre Strong. I think this'll be a nice Jordan Akins

1274
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:13,920
Speaker 2: Harrison Bryant game. I think Jordan Akins went for five

1275
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:16,960
Speaker 2: hundred yards last year and five touchdowns. Really hasn't gotten

1276
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:19,280
Speaker 2: going here with the Browns this season, but I think

1277
01:04:19,280 --> 01:04:20,280
Speaker 2: we'll get to see something of him.

1278
01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:24,080
Speaker 4: There are some guys that can make plays here for sure.

1279
01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:26,040
Speaker 4: Football team that you're gonna see on Sunday.

1280
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:28,320
Speaker 2: I think our three receivers are going to be Cedric Tillman,

1281
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:31,520
Speaker 2: Marquise Goodwin, and David Bell in the slow excited to

1282
01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:34,240
Speaker 2: see that. I wouldn't mind even seeing Jalen Darden get

1283
01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:35,440
Speaker 2: a little bit of run. I just don't think we

1284
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:37,600
Speaker 2: have enough spots. I was bringing up all these people

1285
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:39,960
Speaker 2: off the practice bring two up, right, I think that?

1286
01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:42,600
Speaker 2: I think so we should have looked that up. Evan, No,

1287
01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:45,040
Speaker 2: look that up. How many people? How many practic quad

1288
01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:46,200
Speaker 2: elevations can you have in a week?

1289
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:50,760
Speaker 3: All right, we're gonna ask the great Coup.

1290
01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:51,520
Speaker 8: Now.

1291
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:55,160
Speaker 2: This defense, they are the thirty first overall total defense,

1292
01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:57,560
Speaker 2: twenty ninth against the past, twenty six against the run.

1293
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:00,080
Speaker 2: They do take the football away though they are a

1294
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:03,360
Speaker 2: ninth in the NFL. With fifteen interceptions, they are fourth

1295
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:06,560
Speaker 2: and turnover differential plus nine. They're a bad third down

1296
01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:09,960
Speaker 2: defense as well. They have allowed forty two percent conversions,

1297
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:12,080
Speaker 2: that's twenty six in the NFL. They've allowed twenty one

1298
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:14,400
Speaker 2: point one first downs per game to their opponents. That's

1299
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:16,480
Speaker 2: the third most of the league. Not been a great defense,

1300
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:18,920
Speaker 2: but they do have some great players. Trey Hendrickson, I'm

1301
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 2: assuming as a pro bowler. We'll look at those rosters

1302
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 2: in a second, but he leads the NFL with seventeen sacks.

1303
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:25,000
Speaker 3: He's been sensational.

1304
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:27,560
Speaker 2: They've got three guys on the team that have one

1305
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:30,440
Speaker 2: hundred or more tackles. Logan Wilson's got one hundred and thirty,

1306
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 2: Jermaine Pratz got one hundred and sixteen, and their safety

1307
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:36,840
Speaker 2: decks Hills got one hundred and five. Their corners have struggled. Really,

1308
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:38,760
Speaker 2: their whole past defense is struggled, with the exception of

1309
01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:41,200
Speaker 2: Cam Taylor Britt their second rounder from a year ago

1310
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:44,120
Speaker 2: out of Nebraska. He's played pretty well, but I think

1311
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:45,440
Speaker 2: the Browns are gonna be able to throw the ball

1312
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:47,920
Speaker 2: on them if they want no. Again, this isn't our

1313
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:51,440
Speaker 2: first offensive line, but I'm really excited. I want twenty

1314
01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:55,160
Speaker 2: carries for Pierre Strong as long as the game kind

1315
01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:57,720
Speaker 2: of goes normal. I think if he gets twenty carries,

1316
01:05:57,760 --> 01:05:58,800
Speaker 2: he's going over one hundred yards.

1317
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 4: I like Piers two practice squad players per week. Yeah,

1318
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:06,439
Speaker 4: player is eligible to be elevated three times per season YEP.

1319
01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:08,840
Speaker 4: To be activated a fourth time requires a player be

1320
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:10,600
Speaker 4: signed to the regular roster YEP.

1321
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:12,040
Speaker 3: So only two.

1322
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:14,880
Speaker 2: That's all we can do, all right, So we'll see

1323
01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:17,720
Speaker 2: what happens, okay on the other side of the ball

1324
01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 2: when they've got it their offense, our defense. Jake Browning

1325
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:24,919
Speaker 2: is their quarterback three and three as a starter this year,

1326
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:28,040
Speaker 2: sixty nine point nine percent completion, seventeen hundred and eight yards,

1327
01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:31,320
Speaker 2: nine touchdowns, six picks, ninety six point five ratings. Also

1328
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:33,480
Speaker 2: ran for one hundred nine yards and three touchdowns. He's

1329
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:36,120
Speaker 2: throwing a touchdown pass in seven straight games, three hundred

1330
01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:37,480
Speaker 2: and more and two the last three to three, the

1331
01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:39,400
Speaker 2: last five, two to seventy five plus and four of

1332
01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:41,959
Speaker 2: the last five, so he's been slinging it. They might

1333
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:44,400
Speaker 2: not have t Higgins, but they will have Jamar Chase

1334
01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:47,080
Speaker 2: career high ninety six catches this year, eleven hundred and

1335
01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:50,560
Speaker 2: ninety seven yards, seven touchdowns. They also have Trendon Erwin,

1336
01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:52,360
Speaker 2: who's got a career high twenty three catches, two hundred

1337
01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 2: and eighty two yards and touchdown. Tyler Boyd sixty six catches,

1338
01:06:55,240 --> 01:06:58,400
Speaker 2: six hundred and sixty three yards and two touchdowns, and

1339
01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:01,400
Speaker 2: Andre Yoshivash may see a little bit of He was

1340
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:03,479
Speaker 2: their sixth round out of Princeton, sixty three, two hundred

1341
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:06,320
Speaker 2: twelve pounds, ten catches eight yards with two touchdowns on

1342
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:08,400
Speaker 2: the season. When they run it, it's Joe Mixon, but

1343
01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:09,640
Speaker 2: I have a feeling we could see a lot of

1344
01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:13,160
Speaker 2: Chase Brown, their fifth round pickout at Illinois. He's kind

1345
01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:14,520
Speaker 2: of come on the last few weeks one hundred and

1346
01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:16,520
Speaker 2: thirty six yards rushing, thirteen catches for one hundred and

1347
01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:18,760
Speaker 2: forty six on the season. They have a bunch of

1348
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:21,240
Speaker 2: tight ends. They really like Tanner Hudson thirty seven catches

1349
01:07:21,280 --> 01:07:23,720
Speaker 2: through and forty one yards and a touchdown, the sin

1350
01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:26,360
Speaker 2: an elite Cincinnati's tight ends. It's a career year for him.

1351
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:29,320
Speaker 2: The quarterbacks seem to like him very much. Offensively for

1352
01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:32,000
Speaker 2: the season, they are the number thirty two rushing attack,

1353
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:35,120
Speaker 2: number twenty two overall, number twenty scoring offense. Obviously, Joe

1354
01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:38,320
Speaker 2: Burrow went down earlier this season he played in ten

1355
01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:40,320
Speaker 2: games for them. He was five and five as a starter,

1356
01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:43,040
Speaker 2: sixty seven percent completion in two thousand three and nine yards,

1357
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:46,720
Speaker 2: fifteen touchdowns, six picks in a ninety one quarterback rating

1358
01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 2: for the Browns. I think you're gonna see a lot

1359
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:52,480
Speaker 2: of Alex Right, Isaiah McGuire, probably Obo Kuranquo getting him

1360
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:55,120
Speaker 2: back up to speed here. Alex Wright's got a sack

1361
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:58,360
Speaker 2: in three straight games. You'll see Siaki Ika get a

1362
01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:01,280
Speaker 2: lot of run, and probably Jordan Elliott, maybe Shelby Harris

1363
01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:01,720
Speaker 2: gets the rest.

1364
01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:03,160
Speaker 3: Jordan Ellie will get some run there.

1365
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:06,920
Speaker 2: Linebackers this week, I expect to see Tony Fields, My

1366
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:10,760
Speaker 2: mood Diabate, Matthew Adams, and Jordan Kunashik in the second area.

1367
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:15,440
Speaker 2: Think Khalif Halassi, Ronnie Hickman, Cam Mitchell, Mike Ford if

1368
01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:19,439
Speaker 2: he's able to go. De Anthony Bell will probably be

1369
01:08:19,479 --> 01:08:22,439
Speaker 2: the guys. Maybe Tanner mccowster or aj Green get elevated.

1370
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:24,679
Speaker 2: They could elevate a Sam Kamarix. He can play tackle

1371
01:08:24,720 --> 01:08:27,320
Speaker 2: and he can play end for you. But you're gonna

1372
01:08:27,320 --> 01:08:29,840
Speaker 2: need those practice squad elevations because you know there are

1373
01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:32,160
Speaker 2: a lot of big names that you're not going to

1374
01:08:32,240 --> 01:08:34,280
Speaker 2: see in this one, all right. When we come back,

1375
01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:35,920
Speaker 2: we'll take a look at the Pro Bowl rosters for

1376
01:08:35,960 --> 01:08:36,639
Speaker 2: the other teams.

1377
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:37,439
Speaker 5: No, no, we will not.

1378
01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:39,320
Speaker 2: We'll take a break and when we come back, behind

1379
01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:41,120
Speaker 2: enemy lines, we'll go behind enemy lines.

1380
01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:41,719
Speaker 3: This is the stack.

1385
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:53,639

1394
01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:35,920
Speaker 2: R R I S O and Jay, thanks for being

1395
01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:36,479
Speaker 2: with us today.

1396
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:37,639
Speaker 7: Yeah, thanks for having me on.

1397
01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:38,960
Speaker 5: All right, Jay.

1398
01:09:38,960 --> 01:09:41,439
Speaker 2: Obviously, this season did not go the way that the

1399
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:44,000
Speaker 2: Bengals wanted. It's another season that ends with Joe Burrow

1400
01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:46,479
Speaker 2: on injured reserve, it will end with them not making

1401
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:49,320
Speaker 2: the playoffs. Just give me kind of take the temperature

1402
01:09:49,320 --> 01:09:52,600
Speaker 2: of this organization, what this season was supposed to be,

1403
01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:55,400
Speaker 2: what this season has ended up being, and where maybe

1404
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:56,200
Speaker 2: it goes from here.

1405
01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:00,519
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, we talked to Special Teams nator Darren

1406
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:03,040
Speaker 11: Simmons today and he just was talking about He just

1407
01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:05,920
Speaker 11: kept saying how bad this week sucks, over and over again. Hell,

1408
01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:09,559
Speaker 11: they're so used to these playoff runs and now to

1409
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:12,439
Speaker 11: not have anything hanging at the end of this this

1410
01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:16,160
Speaker 11: game this week, and just the all the what could

1411
01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:18,960
Speaker 11: have been, the what ifs, you know, two injuries to Burrow,

1412
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:21,000
Speaker 11: the one that kind of side tracked him early in

1413
01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:24,000
Speaker 11: the season, and he comes back and they're they're playing great,

1414
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:26,559
Speaker 11: They look like what they thought they would look like

1415
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:29,280
Speaker 11: all along for about five games. Then he gets hurt again.

1416
01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:33,080
Speaker 11: Jake Browning, I think has played better than everybody expected.

1417
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:36,800
Speaker 11: But just to be in this position going into Week

1418
01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:41,120
Speaker 11: eighteen with no shot the playoffs, it's it's disappointing. But

1419
01:10:41,320 --> 01:10:44,400
Speaker 11: I don't think anyone feels like anything needs to be

1420
01:10:44,439 --> 01:10:47,800
Speaker 11: blown up or or massively changed. I think there's a

1421
01:10:47,800 --> 01:10:50,479
Speaker 11: lot of optimism that you get Joe Burrow back next

1422
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:53,880
Speaker 11: year and and everything is right back on track.

1423
01:10:55,200 --> 01:10:57,960
Speaker 2: Is there some concern though about Joe Burrow's ability to

1424
01:10:58,080 --> 01:10:59,759
Speaker 2: stay healthy?

1425
01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:01,559
Speaker 6: Uh?

1426
01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:04,040
Speaker 11: If there is, they're not voicing it. I mean it's

1427
01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:07,240
Speaker 11: it's been so many fluky things. You know, the you

1428
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:10,639
Speaker 11: know clown he landed on him, that that was the risk,

1429
01:11:11,560 --> 01:11:17,400
Speaker 11: the calf injury in camp, the appendectomy last year. I mean,

1430
01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:22,120
Speaker 11: the there's always the concern when a guy's hurt like that,

1431
01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:26,240
Speaker 11: like is the injury prone? But they gave him, they

1432
01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:27,680
Speaker 11: gave him the huge contract.

1433
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:28,160
Speaker 8: Uh.

1434
01:11:28,200 --> 01:11:30,080
Speaker 11: I don't think they would have given him that deal

1435
01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:33,240
Speaker 11: if they were concerned, because that was even after the

1436
01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:34,840
Speaker 11: calf injury. If if this was going to be an

1437
01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:36,120
Speaker 11: ongoing thing with his career.

1438
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:40,679
Speaker 2: So Burrow, when you think of the Bengals, and certainly

1439
01:11:40,680 --> 01:11:44,280
Speaker 2: on offense, you thought of Burrow, Joe Mixon, Jamar Chase,

1440
01:11:44,280 --> 01:11:48,400
Speaker 2: t Higgins, Tyler Boyd. How many of that group take

1441
01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:50,599
Speaker 2: Burrow out of it, obviously, and you can take Jamar

1442
01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:53,719
Speaker 2: Chase out of it. Of mixing, Higgins Boyd are playing

1443
01:11:53,720 --> 01:11:55,240
Speaker 2: for the Cincinnati Bengals next year.

1444
01:11:57,640 --> 01:12:00,920
Speaker 11: Well, if I'm betting, I'm saying none of them mixing

1445
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:03,439
Speaker 11: is under contract, but they ask him to take a

1446
01:12:03,439 --> 01:12:06,599
Speaker 11: pay cut this year. They would likely do the same

1447
01:12:06,680 --> 01:12:09,040
Speaker 11: next year. Would his proade allow him to do that?

1448
01:12:10,080 --> 01:12:11,519
Speaker 11: He you know, he talked this year about wanting a

1449
01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:13,800
Speaker 11: shot at a ring and sticking around, and he loves

1450
01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:16,240
Speaker 11: it here. But you know, they drafted Chase Brown for

1451
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:18,360
Speaker 11: a reason. They might be ready to move on there.

1452
01:12:18,360 --> 01:12:20,840
Speaker 11: Tyler Boyd's a free agent at the end of the year.

1453
01:12:21,360 --> 01:12:23,240
Speaker 11: I think, you know, his age will be on the

1454
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:26,160
Speaker 11: wrong side of thirty, and I just you know, maybe

1455
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:28,280
Speaker 11: he comes back on a one year deal, but I

1456
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:31,360
Speaker 11: think he's likely gone as well. And excuse me.

1457
01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:32,639
Speaker 7: T Higgins is the big one.

1458
01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:37,679
Speaker 11: He'll be a free agent, and my guess is they will.

1459
01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:41,439
Speaker 11: They will franchise tag him and he probably will not

1460
01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:44,960
Speaker 11: sign it, and there will probably be some sort of

1461
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:47,880
Speaker 11: tag and trade. I think they they can get more

1462
01:12:48,040 --> 01:12:49,960
Speaker 11: in return if they tag him and trade him, and

1463
01:12:49,960 --> 01:12:52,080
Speaker 11: they would if they just let him walk and settle

1464
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:54,840
Speaker 11: for a third round comp pick. But I just I

1465
01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:56,760
Speaker 11: don't see that there's room to keep t Higgins. You know,

1466
01:12:56,840 --> 01:12:59,720
Speaker 11: Jamar's up for his extension next year, and they're all

1467
01:12:59,760 --> 01:13:02,080
Speaker 11: in Jamar, and I just don't know that you can

1468
01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:04,040
Speaker 11: afford to pay c Higgins twenty five million on a

1469
01:13:04,040 --> 01:13:06,439
Speaker 11: franchise tag and then and then you know, re up

1470
01:13:06,439 --> 01:13:07,840
Speaker 11: with Jamar and then do some of the other things

1471
01:13:07,880 --> 01:13:09,400
Speaker 11: you need to do to bolster this roster.

1472
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:13,000
Speaker 2: And for Tea, obviously this was not a great year

1473
01:13:13,040 --> 01:13:15,599
Speaker 2: to be oft injured as he was, but he made

1474
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:17,960
Speaker 2: some of the most incredible plays of the season. At

1475
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:20,120
Speaker 2: the same time, do you get the sense that he

1476
01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:21,920
Speaker 2: wants an opportunity to go somewhere where he can be

1477
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:24,719
Speaker 2: more of the guy than kind of being the second

1478
01:13:24,760 --> 01:13:25,960
Speaker 2: fiddle there with Jamar Chase.

1479
01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:29,920
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think if the Bengals offered him in a

1480
01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:32,120
Speaker 11: long term deal, he would absolutely sign it. But we

1481
01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:33,920
Speaker 11: you know, last year at the Super Bowl he was

1482
01:13:33,960 --> 01:13:36,479
Speaker 11: making the rounds on Radio Row and he talked about

1483
01:13:36,479 --> 01:13:39,040
Speaker 11: that wanting to be a number one, And I think

1484
01:13:39,080 --> 01:13:41,719
Speaker 11: everybody knows he'll never be a number one here. Maybe

1485
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:44,600
Speaker 11: a one be to Jamar's one A. But yeah, I

1486
01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:47,240
Speaker 11: think that is a big part of it. And I

1487
01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:49,760
Speaker 11: still think he'll get it, whether it's a tag and trader,

1488
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:52,040
Speaker 11: whether it's straight free agency, I think he's he's gonna

1489
01:13:52,360 --> 01:13:55,800
Speaker 11: still be in line for a nice payday even with

1490
01:13:55,880 --> 01:13:58,320
Speaker 11: this being an injury riddled year and he wasn't great

1491
01:13:58,320 --> 01:14:00,160
Speaker 11: when he was healthy, but you're ready did make some

1492
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:01,920
Speaker 11: of the most amazing catches of the season.

1493
01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:03,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, he did.

1494
01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:07,280
Speaker 2: What's your assessment of the Bengals on defense? Obviously they

1495
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:09,840
Speaker 2: changed things around on the back end, both Jesse Bates

1496
01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:12,639
Speaker 2: and Von bell leave, you know, kind of up and down,

1497
01:14:12,760 --> 01:14:15,919
Speaker 2: certainly against the pass and against the run. Trey Hendrickson

1498
01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:18,519
Speaker 2: obviously sensational, leading the league in sacks. But overall, what

1499
01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:20,479
Speaker 2: was kind of your assessment of the defense that it

1500
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:22,800
Speaker 2: feels like maybe fell a little bit short of expectations.

1501
01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:25,760
Speaker 7: Oh, yeah, it absolutely did.

1502
01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:28,800
Speaker 11: I mean it's they knew there's gonna be growing pains

1503
01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:31,919
Speaker 11: when they let Jesse Bates and Von Belg in free agency.

1504
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:35,760
Speaker 11: I don't think they expected it to linger into week seventeen.

1505
01:14:35,880 --> 01:14:39,000
Speaker 11: Now week eighteen, you know, they're still last week, still

1506
01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:41,760
Speaker 11: making the same kind of communication errors that they were

1507
01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:44,760
Speaker 11: making in week one and week two, and that just

1508
01:14:44,800 --> 01:14:49,360
Speaker 11: can't happen. And I think they feel comfortable with the

1509
01:14:49,360 --> 01:14:53,040
Speaker 11: pieces they have there because they did have new safeties.

1510
01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:56,040
Speaker 11: And then DJ Turner, the rookie for Michigan, played a

1511
01:14:56,080 --> 01:14:59,479
Speaker 11: lot at corner this year and they brought in Jordan

1512
01:14:59,560 --> 01:15:01,120
Speaker 11: Battle as they drafted him in.

1513
01:15:01,040 --> 01:15:01,559
Speaker 7: The third round.

1514
01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:03,880
Speaker 11: He eventually took over for Nick Scott, who was a

1515
01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:07,080
Speaker 11: veteran that's at one of those safety spots. So it's

1516
01:15:07,080 --> 01:15:09,160
Speaker 11: been a lot of moving parts. Cam Taylor Britton is

1517
01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:12,439
Speaker 11: four games, So it's going to be interesting to see

1518
01:15:12,479 --> 01:15:14,720
Speaker 11: that this is a team that the last couple offseasons

1519
01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:17,360
Speaker 11: they've gone the distance and they've been tired, and it's

1520
01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:19,639
Speaker 11: been kind of a country club atmosphere in the OTAs

1521
01:15:19,640 --> 01:15:22,000
Speaker 11: where they don't do any eleven on eleven team drills

1522
01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:23,880
Speaker 11: and it's just a lot of position drills, a lot

1523
01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:26,880
Speaker 11: of shorts and T shirt kind of stuff. And it'll

1524
01:15:26,920 --> 01:15:29,680
Speaker 11: be interesting to see if they change that with a

1525
01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:32,400
Speaker 11: little longer of an offseason this year and really kind

1526
01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:35,000
Speaker 11: of get to some some more x's and o's type

1527
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:36,720
Speaker 11: of football in the spring to try to get these

1528
01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:39,120
Speaker 11: these this young secondary up to speed.

1529
01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:41,960
Speaker 2: And part of it, you know, you'd say, okay, well,

1530
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:43,880
Speaker 2: you'd expect some issues on the back end, and they

1531
01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:46,720
Speaker 2: are the number twenty nine pass d but this has

1532
01:15:46,760 --> 01:15:50,200
Speaker 2: been a pretty tough front to run against historically, not

1533
01:15:50,360 --> 01:15:52,560
Speaker 2: this year. And I know DJ Reader went out a

1534
01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:55,200
Speaker 2: few weeks ago. But you know, it's I think it's

1535
01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:58,120
Speaker 2: uncharacteristic to be given up almost five yards of carry

1536
01:15:58,439 --> 01:16:00,000
Speaker 2: as the Bengals have. What was kind of the big

1537
01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:02,920
Speaker 2: issue in the run game because really only the Broncos

1538
01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:04,679
Speaker 2: have given up more yards per carry this season.

1539
01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:09,760
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, efficiency wise, they were okay, but it

1540
01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:11,960
Speaker 11: was in Browns fans.

1541
01:16:11,680 --> 01:16:12,639
Speaker 7: Solid in Week one.

1542
01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:16,000
Speaker 11: I can't remember if it was Elijah, it was one

1543
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:18,160
Speaker 11: of those wide receivers kind of took a sweep and

1544
01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:20,439
Speaker 11: went and it looked like it was completely strung out

1545
01:16:20,439 --> 01:16:23,160
Speaker 11: and they reverse field and took it for forty fifty yards.

1546
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:26,160
Speaker 11: That's what really got it. They had a lot of

1547
01:16:26,240 --> 01:16:28,760
Speaker 11: explosives that they gave. They've given it more explosive than

1548
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:32,000
Speaker 11: anybody in the league overall run and pass, and they

1549
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:33,479
Speaker 11: had a lot of them in their run game. So

1550
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:35,840
Speaker 11: it wasn't like they were getting gashed over and over again.

1551
01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:38,439
Speaker 11: But you know, you're giving up a twenty a thirty

1552
01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:40,920
Speaker 11: forty yard run every game, that's going to affect your numbers.

1553
01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:43,720
Speaker 11: And that was all kind of part of it. It

1554
01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:47,040
Speaker 11: was the young secondary overrunning things and not being in

1555
01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:50,400
Speaker 11: position on the backside, and just a lot of things

1556
01:16:50,680 --> 01:16:51,920
Speaker 11: went wrong in that regard.

1557
01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:55,360
Speaker 2: What do you expect to see from the Bengals on Sunday?

1558
01:16:55,360 --> 01:16:57,439
Speaker 2: The Browns of you know, they're already locked in as

1559
01:16:57,479 --> 01:16:59,479
Speaker 2: the five seed, they're going to be resting a lot

1560
01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:02,320
Speaker 2: of their place. Are the Bengals going to play everybody

1561
01:17:02,360 --> 01:17:05,040
Speaker 2: who's available or do you expect to see you know, Jamar,

1562
01:17:05,120 --> 01:17:07,040
Speaker 2: Chase Mix and I know miss a little practicing. But

1563
01:17:07,040 --> 01:17:09,679
Speaker 2: are they going to be putting basically their starters out

1564
01:17:09,680 --> 01:17:11,920
Speaker 2: there as though it were a game for something?

1565
01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:13,880
Speaker 7: Yeah?

1566
01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:16,240
Speaker 11: Absolutely, they mean. Zach talked about it in his press

1567
01:17:16,240 --> 01:17:18,320
Speaker 11: conference yesterday and he was asked for five different ways.

1568
01:17:18,360 --> 01:17:20,080
Speaker 11: He parley said, you guys are not listening to me.

1569
01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:22,479
Speaker 11: We were playing to win this game. And I do

1570
01:17:22,479 --> 01:17:23,760
Speaker 11: think we're going to see all the starters. I don't

1571
01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:26,120
Speaker 11: think we're going to see Higgins. He had that hamstring

1572
01:17:26,160 --> 01:17:28,960
Speaker 11: injury last week against the Chiefs. He came back into

1573
01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:32,200
Speaker 11: the game, but really wasn't himself and he didn't practice yesterday.

1574
01:17:32,240 --> 01:17:34,559
Speaker 11: He wasn't practicing today, so I'd be surprised if he plays.

1575
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:37,360
Speaker 11: Jamar's playing through a shoulder injury, but I think I

1576
01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:40,120
Speaker 11: think we're going to see him play he's four catches

1577
01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:41,960
Speaker 11: away from one hundred. I know that would mean something

1578
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:44,559
Speaker 11: to them, So maybe once he hits that mark, maybe

1579
01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:45,960
Speaker 11: he comes out. It was kind of like the twenty

1580
01:17:45,960 --> 01:17:47,960
Speaker 11: twenty one game his rookie year where he was the

1581
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:51,120
Speaker 11: only starter that played in that week meaningless Week eighteen

1582
01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:53,719
Speaker 11: game in Cleveland, and once he got the Bengals yarder director,

1583
01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:56,080
Speaker 11: they took him out. But beyond that, yeah, I think

1584
01:17:56,080 --> 01:17:57,320
Speaker 11: it's going to be all the starters.

1585
01:17:58,160 --> 01:17:59,920
Speaker 6: This team has.

1586
01:17:59,840 --> 01:18:03,720
Speaker 11: Made a point to not shy away with with how frustrated, disappointed,

1587
01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:05,160
Speaker 11: whatever word you want to use. If they are oh

1588
01:18:05,240 --> 01:18:06,880
Speaker 11: and five in the division, and it would mean a

1589
01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:08,160
Speaker 11: lot to them to have a winning record, and it

1590
01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:10,519
Speaker 11: would mean a whole lot to them to avoid h

1591
01:18:10,600 --> 01:18:11,799
Speaker 11: and six in division games.

1592
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:15,719
Speaker 2: Talking with Jay Morrison from Pro Football Network, if follow

1593
01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:19,040
Speaker 2: them on AX at by Jay Morris, and yeah, that's

1594
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:21,000
Speaker 2: a isn't that a wild stat? I mean that to

1595
01:18:21,040 --> 01:18:22,960
Speaker 2: me is one of the crazier stats of this season,

1596
01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:25,719
Speaker 2: that this Bengals team that you know, many people thought,

1597
01:18:25,800 --> 01:18:28,160
Speaker 2: you know, Super Bowl AFC championship, that's what they'd done

1598
01:18:28,160 --> 01:18:30,680
Speaker 2: the two years prior, that it was going to be

1599
01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:33,040
Speaker 2: that again, and to be you know, h to five

1600
01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:35,320
Speaker 2: in this division, which has been one of the best

1601
01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:36,479
Speaker 2: divisions in football, is that?

1602
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:37,479
Speaker 3: Is that one of the more.

1603
01:18:37,360 --> 01:18:39,680
Speaker 2: Stunning things about this whole season to you when you

1604
01:18:39,680 --> 01:18:41,679
Speaker 2: look back at this Bengal season in twenty twenty.

1605
01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:45,080
Speaker 11: Three, Yeah, I mean not just the oh and five,

1606
01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:48,360
Speaker 11: but Cleveland whipped him by twenty one, Pittsburgh whipped him

1607
01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:51,439
Speaker 11: by twenty three. Baltimore put it on them pretty good

1608
01:18:51,479 --> 01:18:53,400
Speaker 11: after it looked like the Bengals were taking a halftime

1609
01:18:53,479 --> 01:18:55,280
Speaker 11: lead in and the game that Joe Burrow got hurt,

1610
01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:57,479
Speaker 11: So they if not just the own five, but they've

1611
01:18:57,520 --> 01:18:59,400
Speaker 11: been non competitive in some of those games.

1612
01:18:59,439 --> 01:19:02,240
Speaker 7: So that is a huge surprise. And if the Bengals

1613
01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:04,759
Speaker 7: win on Sunday, the AFC North.

1614
01:19:04,600 --> 01:19:07,639
Speaker 11: Is the first division in football since the nineteen thirty

1615
01:19:07,640 --> 01:19:10,400
Speaker 11: five NFL West have every team finished above five hundred.

1616
01:19:12,840 --> 01:19:15,120
Speaker 2: Well, that we got that going for us. Then take

1617
01:19:15,160 --> 01:19:17,280
Speaker 2: that rest of the league and I feel like if

1618
01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:19,920
Speaker 2: the Bengals are putting their starters out there, they'd have

1619
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:22,280
Speaker 2: to be the favorites. And certainly Las Vegas does agree

1620
01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:25,360
Speaker 2: hefty favorites of this one. Jake Browning cool story, right,

1621
01:19:25,360 --> 01:19:28,040
Speaker 2: We've got our cool story with Joe Flacco, and obviously

1622
01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:31,679
Speaker 2: that's an AFC North story, that is a he's setting records.

1623
01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:35,040
Speaker 2: But Jake Browning, I think quietly, has been much much

1624
01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:36,920
Speaker 2: better than I would have to imagine anybody thought he

1625
01:19:37,040 --> 01:19:40,920
Speaker 2: might be in this action this season. Seventy percent completions,

1626
01:19:41,320 --> 01:19:44,080
Speaker 2: he's thrown for a seventeen hundred and eighty yards, nine touchdowns,

1627
01:19:44,120 --> 01:19:45,759
Speaker 2: ninety six ratings run for threes.

1628
01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:48,120
Speaker 3: Been pretty darn good.

1629
01:19:49,560 --> 01:19:52,000
Speaker 11: Yeah, And they've not shied away from that. They they

1630
01:19:52,840 --> 01:19:54,960
Speaker 11: insist that they had confidence that they thought he could

1631
01:19:54,960 --> 01:19:56,479
Speaker 11: play well, but no one thought it would be this

1632
01:19:56,600 --> 01:19:59,200
Speaker 11: good right out of the bat. But the first four

1633
01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:02,960
Speaker 11: games he had his really great numbers. It has it's

1634
01:20:02,960 --> 01:20:05,640
Speaker 11: been encouraging, and it's it's that was kind of one

1635
01:20:05,680 --> 01:20:08,080
Speaker 11: of the things where everybody talked about this year was

1636
01:20:08,640 --> 01:20:10,639
Speaker 11: one of the spots they were surprised that they didn't

1637
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:15,040
Speaker 11: beef up, was backup quarterback, and you know, they brought

1638
01:20:15,040 --> 01:20:17,840
Speaker 11: in Trevor Simeon and Jake Brenning beat him out in

1639
01:20:17,840 --> 01:20:20,200
Speaker 11: the camp, and I think they feel really good about

1640
01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:24,200
Speaker 11: that position going forward. Because Jake's Jason exclusive rights free agent,

1641
01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:26,320
Speaker 11: so the Bengals can offer him a minimum league minimum

1642
01:20:26,360 --> 01:20:27,240
Speaker 11: contract next year.

1643
01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:27,840
Speaker 7: He can't.

1644
01:20:27,960 --> 01:20:30,519
Speaker 11: He can't negotiate with anyone else, and he's stuck. I

1645
01:20:30,520 --> 01:20:32,080
Speaker 11: don't know if they're stuck here, but he doesn't have

1646
01:20:32,120 --> 01:20:35,360
Speaker 11: options to go anywhere else. So that that has been

1647
01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:37,760
Speaker 11: a major surprise. And and really you could argue he

1648
01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:40,120
Speaker 11: would be Team MVP if they were still playing for

1649
01:20:40,160 --> 01:20:42,439
Speaker 11: it for a playoff spot and actually got in.

1650
01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:42,920
Speaker 7: This year.

1651
01:20:42,960 --> 01:20:45,400
Speaker 11: It was everybody thought the season was dead when Joe

1652
01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:49,599
Speaker 11: Burrow went out and Jake really kind of revitalized everything, didn't.

1653
01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:52,320
Speaker 2: I think people it's one of those things with the

1654
01:20:52,320 --> 01:20:54,519
Speaker 2: backup quarterback position. I think people have to understand when

1655
01:20:54,560 --> 01:20:56,719
Speaker 2: you've made the investment that you've made in Joe Burrow,

1656
01:20:57,960 --> 01:21:00,600
Speaker 2: that's the investment in quarterback. So you're looking for a

1657
01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:04,000
Speaker 2: rookie somebody on a very very cheap deal to back

1658
01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:07,840
Speaker 2: them up because the reality is losing that guy makes

1659
01:21:07,880 --> 01:21:10,439
Speaker 2: it very difficult. And I mean the Browns are doing

1660
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:13,240
Speaker 2: something crazy, you know, four quarterback starting when you kind

1661
01:21:13,240 --> 01:21:16,320
Speaker 2: of watch it through that lens, are you kind of

1662
01:21:16,360 --> 01:21:18,920
Speaker 2: in of of what this Brown season has been. I mean,

1663
01:21:19,080 --> 01:21:21,400
Speaker 2: eleven and five with all Chubb out in Week two,

1664
01:21:21,760 --> 01:21:24,720
Speaker 2: down three tackles down to Shaun Watson. Just the way

1665
01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:26,479
Speaker 2: that the Browns have been able to kind of overcome

1666
01:21:26,479 --> 01:21:28,400
Speaker 2: that in what's been a very special season for us

1667
01:21:28,479 --> 01:21:28,840
Speaker 2: up here.

1668
01:21:30,360 --> 01:21:32,799
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, absolutely. I mean it's gonna be an outrage

1669
01:21:32,800 --> 01:21:34,599
Speaker 11: if Kevin Stefanski's not coach of the Year.

1670
01:21:34,760 --> 01:21:36,480
Speaker 7: I mean he should be unanimous.

1671
01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:36,519
Speaker 8: Coach of the Year.

1672
01:21:36,520 --> 01:21:38,559
Speaker 11: We'll see how it plays out, but yeah, that's it's

1673
01:21:38,640 --> 01:21:40,680
Speaker 11: just an incredible job. And you know, now it's going

1674
01:21:40,720 --> 01:21:43,280
Speaker 11: to be a fifth starting quarterback on Sunday, the former

1675
01:21:44,600 --> 01:21:47,200
Speaker 11: so it is. It is amazing what Cleveland and they've

1676
01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:49,559
Speaker 11: got a great defense, so it's not a huge surprise,

1677
01:21:49,640 --> 01:21:52,000
Speaker 11: but everybody knows what quarterback play is in this league,

1678
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:54,800
Speaker 11: and to have all that kind of change in turmoil

1679
01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:58,240
Speaker 11: up there, it's it really is impressive. And you know,

1680
01:21:58,240 --> 01:22:00,640
Speaker 11: everybody's talking about Baltimore as the team to beaten, and

1681
01:22:00,680 --> 01:22:02,360
Speaker 11: nobody's going to go into Baltimore and win. I keep

1682
01:22:02,400 --> 01:22:04,840
Speaker 11: pointing out Cleveland already did that. Cleveland already went into

1683
01:22:04,880 --> 01:22:08,680
Speaker 11: Baltimore and one this year I'm not ruling out that

1684
01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:11,479
Speaker 11: would be so fantastic. An AFC Championship game where Flacco

1685
01:22:11,560 --> 01:22:12,600
Speaker 11: goes back to Baltimore.

1686
01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:15,360
Speaker 3: I mean, the first.

1687
01:22:14,520 --> 01:22:15,960
Speaker 7: Brown super Bowl on the line.

1688
01:22:17,080 --> 01:22:19,200
Speaker 2: It would be unreal. It would be unreal. You mentioned

1689
01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:20,880
Speaker 2: Jeff Driscoll real quick before we get you out of here,

1690
01:22:20,920 --> 01:22:22,920
Speaker 2: get you on this one. What can you tell us

1691
01:22:22,920 --> 01:22:25,000
Speaker 2: about Jeff Drescholl? What should we expect? Guys, been here

1692
01:22:25,360 --> 01:22:27,240
Speaker 2: like many of our quarterbacks, not even a week.

1693
01:22:29,320 --> 01:22:34,960
Speaker 11: Yeah, incredibly athletic. At one point before he before he

1694
01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:36,920
Speaker 11: got a chance to start for the Bengals, they tried

1695
01:22:36,960 --> 01:22:39,439
Speaker 11: to switch him to wide receiver late in the twenty

1696
01:22:39,479 --> 01:22:42,400
Speaker 11: seventeen season and he got hurt in practice, and then

1697
01:22:42,439 --> 01:22:43,640
Speaker 11: I think Houston.

1698
01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:45,280
Speaker 3: Did a little bit.

1699
01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:46,679
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1700
01:22:46,760 --> 01:22:52,439
Speaker 11: Yeah, he's very fast. He's you know, he's kind of

1701
01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:54,479
Speaker 11: what you would expect from a backup quarterback. He's not

1702
01:22:54,520 --> 01:22:56,120
Speaker 11: going to awe you with his arm, but he can

1703
01:22:56,160 --> 01:22:57,640
Speaker 11: make plays on the run. He can get out of

1704
01:22:57,680 --> 01:23:00,040
Speaker 11: the pocket and make things happen with his beat. And

1705
01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:03,400
Speaker 11: a big opportunity for him, like any of these guys,

1706
01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:06,360
Speaker 11: He's not gonna have the starters out there with him,

1707
01:23:06,400 --> 01:23:08,439
Speaker 11: but he can make a name for himself. And really

1708
01:23:08,520 --> 01:23:10,960
Speaker 11: interesting story with him coming back to Cincinnati, which started

1709
01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:12,720
Speaker 11: for well, well it actually started in San Francisco, but

1710
01:23:12,760 --> 01:23:14,400
Speaker 11: he got his first real shot in Cincinnati.

1711
01:23:14,920 --> 01:23:16,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, gonna be wild.

1712
01:23:16,200 --> 01:23:19,280
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Jay for the time, for the insights.

1713
01:23:19,680 --> 01:23:21,160
Speaker 2: Not a game that we expected the be end of

1714
01:23:21,200 --> 01:23:25,679
Speaker 2: the year. We all thought Week eighteen, Brown's Bengals Watson Burrow.

1715
01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:27,960
Speaker 2: This could be for the AFC North, this could be

1716
01:23:28,040 --> 01:23:31,880
Speaker 2: for something Ice takes and it's turned into an exhibition game,

1717
01:23:31,880 --> 01:23:33,920
Speaker 2: and that's what we're going to get down there at

1718
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:34,960
Speaker 2: Paul Brown Stadium.

1719
01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:35,840
Speaker 3: Didn't see it coming.

1720
01:23:35,880 --> 01:23:37,240
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody could have seen a lot of

1721
01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:39,839
Speaker 2: things that happened twenty jointy three coming. But Jay, appreciate

1722

1738
01:24:41,840 --> 01:24:44,040
Speaker 4: like good guy award winner, he should we should we

1739
01:24:44,040 --> 01:24:48,200
Speaker 4: should give it award. I mean it should be named

1740
01:24:48,200 --> 01:24:51,240
Speaker 4: in honor of John Greco, our good friend John Grecor,

1741
01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:54,519
Speaker 4: who at one point was a co host on these

1742
01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:59,519
Speaker 4: shows before I don't know, maybe more than the talent

1743
01:25:00,920 --> 01:25:02,879
Speaker 4: at one time, seven or eight years.

1744
01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:04,280
Speaker 2: Ago, there was a time when Greco was on it

1745
01:25:04,360 --> 01:25:07,240
Speaker 2: quite a bit. I would say Joe Shoulbert would have

1746
01:25:07,240 --> 01:25:10,679
Speaker 2: been one the great Kohle's got to be a radio

1747
01:25:11,080 --> 01:25:12,640
Speaker 2: good guy. I mean he used to come in here

1748
01:25:12,640 --> 01:25:17,719
Speaker 2: every Friday, and I mean how around for an hour. Yeah,

1749
01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:23,440
Speaker 2: I would say from this year's team, Taki tacky.

1750
01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:31,400
Speaker 3: Chief. We had m J Emerson on a lot, a lot, MJ.

1751
01:25:35,200 --> 01:25:37,639
Speaker 4: We could talk a little bit more about the stupid

1752
01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:38,439
Speaker 4: Pro Bowl snub.

1753
01:25:39,400 --> 01:25:44,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I've tweeted it now. My thesis is out there. Ridiculous.

1754
01:25:44,720 --> 01:25:46,639
Speaker 2: It's the it's the biggest. I think it's the biggest

1755
01:25:46,680 --> 01:25:50,080
Speaker 2: snub in the league, at least Dustin Hopkins got Dustin

1756
01:25:50,080 --> 01:25:53,320
Speaker 2: Hopkins not making it as the starter over Justin Tucker

1757
01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:56,880
Speaker 2: is an unreal snub and is just based totally.

1758
01:25:58,479 --> 01:26:01,280
Speaker 4: Popularity contest. Yeah, or like if you're going to hand

1759
01:26:01,280 --> 01:26:05,519
Speaker 4: a player who votes a blank ballot and be like,

1760
01:26:05,560 --> 01:26:07,680
Speaker 4: who's the best kicker? Yeah, well, I know who the

1761
01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:09,960
Speaker 4: best kicker is in the game. He's arguably the best

1762
01:26:10,040 --> 01:26:12,640
Speaker 4: kicker of all time exactly. That's why he got it.

1763
01:26:12,760 --> 01:26:13,880
Speaker 4: By the way, I think we just talked about a

1764
01:26:13,880 --> 01:26:18,360
Speaker 4: great accomplishment today. Shout out to Jersey Jerry, who two

1765
01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:22,680
Speaker 4: thousand I believe it's two thousand, six hundred shots over

1766
01:26:22,720 --> 01:26:24,519
Speaker 4: the course of three days.

1767
01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:28,680
Speaker 2: Really started on six hundred and twenty seven shots January

1768
01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:32,360
Speaker 2: second to January fourth. He finally got a hole in

1769
01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:35,200
Speaker 2: one number seven Pebble Beach on the golf simulator, and

1770
01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:37,360
Speaker 2: it was an unbelievable moment. You had the PGA Tour

1771
01:26:37,400 --> 01:26:40,559
Speaker 2: weighing in, you had various sports teams wing in, you

1772
01:26:40,560 --> 01:26:41,240
Speaker 2: had Tom.

1773
01:26:41,040 --> 01:26:43,160
Speaker 3: Brady just minutes before he hit.

1774
01:26:43,200 --> 01:26:45,280
Speaker 2: Tom Brady said it's darkest for the down with a

1775
01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:48,080
Speaker 2: picture of Jersey Jerry put a picture of himself kind

1776
01:26:48,080 --> 01:26:50,120
Speaker 2: of slumped over on the bench that it's the darks

1777
01:26:50,120 --> 01:26:54,599
Speaker 2: for the don Sixteen minutes later, Jersey Jerry got it.

1778
01:26:54,640 --> 01:26:56,000
Speaker 3: The celebration is awesome.

1779
01:26:57,280 --> 01:26:59,080
Speaker 2: So I think this was like a am I right,

1780
01:26:59,080 --> 01:27:02,920
Speaker 2: this was his fantasy ball punishment for losing his league.

1781
01:27:03,560 --> 01:27:04,880
Speaker 3: It's a great Punishment's better.

1782
01:27:05,120 --> 01:27:07,559
Speaker 2: It might even be better than the pancake challenge, to

1783
01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:10,559
Speaker 2: be honest with you, but just what an unbelievable most

01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:12,200
Speaker 2: He was struggling, man, really struggling.

1825
01:29:13,280 --> 01:29:15,320
Speaker 3: It was two thousand shots.

1826
01:29:15,360 --> 01:29:21,200

1827
01:29:21,200 --> 01:29:25,759
Speaker 2: it's wild. Yeah, that's twenty six hundred and twenty seven shots.

1828
01:29:25,760 --> 01:29:33,920

1829
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:35,640
Speaker 2: hit a lot of good shots. That's why people like

1830
01:29:35,760 --> 01:29:38,280
Speaker 2: people think, oh if I just sat there forever thirty

1831
01:29:38,320 --> 01:29:40,160
Speaker 2: six hours, that's a simulator, not real.

1832
01:29:41,560 --> 01:29:43,160
Speaker 3: That does not count as a real hole in one

1833
01:29:43,479 --> 01:29:45,000
Speaker 3: simulator all in one. It doesn't count.

1834
01:29:45,040 --> 01:29:46,320
Speaker 7: But in that.

1835
01:29:46,400 --> 01:29:50,559
