Had you wrapped your head around that world, 98 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 3: he was going to be a neighbor, you could go 99 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 3: to games. 100 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 4: Well, you know, that's a little bit tough in the 101 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 4: college football world to be going to games, just like 102 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 4: it is for Todd. We grew up all we're probably 103 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 4: thirty thirty forty minutes apart. His dad Bob, my dad 104 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 4: Mike were brothers, both high school coaches, and you think 105 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 4: living that close to each other, we'd have gotten more 106 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 4: opportunities to watch each other play and see our dad's 107 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 4: teams play. But it's hard in the football world, how 108 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 4: busy it is, and all the preparation and everything that 109 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 4: we do.

But 117 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 3: when that news finally came down. 118 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 4: Well, I knew he had had some interviews and we 119 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 4: actually got a chance to see each other in December 120 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 4: and we played the Army Navy game in Baltimore, and 121 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 4: so he came over and we just we had a 122 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 4: chance to just spend some time together, which is always 123 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 4: enjoyable and and we're just talking about our coaching careers 124 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 4: and our futures and and you know, at that point, 125 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 4: nothing was on the radar. But when when the jobs 126 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 4: started to open up in the NFL, you know, he's 127 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 4: worked so hard and so long for an opportunity like 128 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 4: this and has interviewed for some jobs, and as you know, 129 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 4: but when he interviewed for the Browns job, he's really 130 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 4: excited about it. Obviously been in that organization before and 131 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 4: felt like the first interview went well, and I knew 132 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 4: he had had a second interview, and and just before 133 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 4: the news broke, he sent me a quick text message 134 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 4: and let me know he got the job, and I 135 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 4: was jumping out of my chair. So I just really 136 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 4: thrilled for him and excited for this opportunity for him. 137 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 3: What does it mean for not only a coach who 138 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 3: has battled, fought and really grinded for so many years. 139 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,199 Speaker 3: He was the head coach of Georgia's Southern obviously, or 140 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 3: rather you were a former head coach in Georgia Southern. 141 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 3: He was at Southern mass My apologies, to finally get 142 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 3: this brass ring, to finally get this opportunity.

And 153 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 4: uh so, you know, he's he's earned it. He's earned 154 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,959 Speaker 4: this opportunity. Uh And and if he didn't, he wouldn't 155 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 4: be in the position. He is right now, So you know, 156 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 4: it's it's just a tremendous source of pride for our family. 157 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 4: We're a coaching family. As I mentioned, his dad my 158 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 4: dad were both high school coaches, but three other brothers 159 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 4: or five boys of that family that were all had 160 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 4: high school coaches in the state of Illinois while we 161 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 4: were growing up, And and that was that was we 162 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 4: were really proud to be able to say that about 163 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 4: our dads and our uncles. But there are seven of 164 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 4: us who are sons of those five brothers who either 165 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 4: have coached or are still coaching.

And and it's you kind of 169 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 3: glossed over it there. You had some of the numbers, 170 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:41,959 Speaker 3: but I did a deeper dive last night, all right. 171 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 3: So obviously, Todd Wheaton, you Joliet Central, your dad coached 172 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 3: Joliet Central as well. There pretty much isn't a high 173 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 3: school in Chicago Land that doesn't have a Monken somewhere, 174 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,719 Speaker 3: either on the stadium we're coaching there or still coaching there, 175 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 3: or playing there, bowling Brooke, Vernon Hills Lake Park. You 176 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 3: guys are kind of the first family of Illinois high 177 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 3: school football? Is that fair to say? 178 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 4: Oh, it might be fair to say, uh, my dad. 179 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 4: You know what's ironic is I was at the American 180 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 4: Football Coaches Association convention just a few weeks ago, and 181 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 4: a guy walked up to me. I actually got the 182 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 4: card sitting right here. He pulls a card out of 183 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 4: his wallet. It's taped up. This is a card my 184 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 4: dad had made in the seventies Geese, and it says 185 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 4: Monkin's the name football is the game. And all five 186 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 4: brothers are on here, and so really, I think probably 187 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 4: the first family of football in Illinois. All five of 188 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 4: those brothers are in the Illinois High School Coaches the 189 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 4: Hall of Fame, which is you know that that's that's 190 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,199 Speaker 4: a great source surprise for our family as well. 191 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 3: That's pretty cool. What kind of offense we're gonna be looking 192 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 3: at here, because obviously Lamar Jackson's not coming with him, 193 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 3: we we do know that. But we also saw we 194 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 3: needed it at georgiaviously, and that one from what the 195 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 3: fiftieth ranked offense to all of a sudden racking up 196 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 3: the points in the SEC and winning a couple of 197 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 3: national championships there as well. 198 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 4: I know he's multiple. 199 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 3: He could make chicken salad pretty much, let's put it 200 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 3: that way, out of anything he's given. So West Brown's 201 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 3: fans expect. 202 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 4: You'll have to talk to the boss about that. I 203 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 4: know that he'll do a great job at reigniting that offense. 204 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 4: He's a tremendous football coach. He's really smart, really innovative, 205 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 4: and what I've been so impressed with him over the 206 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 4: years is just how he's adapted to the personnel. He's 207 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 4: adapted to the situation and the program. And he was 208 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 4: different at Southern Mysts than he was at Georgia, different 209 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 4: personnel and different quarterback. But I think that's what he 210 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 4: does so well. He finds a way to run the 211 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 4: ball really effectively, which always impresses me. And people can 212 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 4: draw up a bunch of pass plays and pass routes 213 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 4: and all those things, but finding a way to run 214 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 4: the football effectively, particularly in the NFL, which I think 215 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 4: is is really challenging. I think he does a great 216 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 4: job with that. 217 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 3: He had a fourth down call where Mark Andrews when 218 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 3: the Ravens were in Cleveland, a couple of months ago, 219 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 3: got him and got into the end zone where he 220 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 3: lined up under center. Lamar went left and and he 221 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 3: went right. Did you get that from you? 222 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 5: Is go to? 223 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 3: Is he gonna bring triple options football? 224 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 5: Now? 225 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 4: I think I think he's got to figure it out 226 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 4: pretty good. 227 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 3: So what I was not there with the organization in 228 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 3: twenty nineteen, I've heard sarcastic Blunt doesn't mind colorful language. Well, 229 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 3: tell it like it is. How would you describe your 230 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 3: cousin in terms of personality and leadership in front of 231 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 3: the room or over a beer or a cup of 232 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 3: coffee with you guys. 233 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, all the above, And he just is exactly what 234 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 4: you described. And he's always been that way. But I 235 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 4: will tell you he's he's always been extremely competitive, and 236 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 4: he's always been a tremendous leader. I watched him play 237 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 4: high school games. I didn't get to see him play 238 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 4: every week, but I watched him play high school games. 239 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,959 Speaker 4: And I've watched him coach and just does a great 240 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 4: job with the people around him and getting the most 241 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 4: out of the people around him. He did it as 242 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 4: a player, he's done it as a coach. As I said, 243 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 4: he's a teacher. He's a technician, very detailed and demanding. 244 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 4: He wants the best out of people, and I think 245 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 4: people that do that effectively, they find a way to 246 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 4: be successful, and he always has. So what you've seen 247 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 4: is what you're going to get. And what he was 248 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 4: in twenty nineteen, he'll be in twenty twenty six. So 249 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 4: I'm excited for the Browns and the players in the 250 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 4: organization and the coaches and everybody. He'll be a great leader. 251 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 3: Two quick thanks here, coach before we let you go. 252 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 3: He was your cousin was a D three All American, 253 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 3: Pizza All American at Knox College. Was he good enough 254 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 3: to start for Army if you were coaching today? 255 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 4: Oh, he probably was. I never saw him play at 256 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 4: college football game, but he really had a great career 257 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 4: at Knox. And you know that that was he was 258 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 4: the first, I think the first of all of us 259 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 4: that that played college football through our dads and uncles, 260 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 4: all of us that were cousins, and we all played 261 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 4: small college football. His his brothers played at Winona State 262 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 4: and Grand Valley State, and I played at Milliken in Illinois. 263 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 4: My brother played at Illinois Wesley and we were we 264 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 4: were small college guys, and he was the first to 265 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 4: really be recognized and receive those accolades. 266 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 5: And then my. 267 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 4: Brother at Illinois Wesley and he was he was the second. 268 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 4: He was an All American di mission Thie all American 269 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 4: as well. So I don't I don't know that my brother, 270 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 4: I always tell him, I don't know if he could 271 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 4: ever played here, but Todd maybe. 272 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 3: So finally, let's talk about your program here. Another successful season, 273 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 3: another bowl wins six or seven. As I mentioned, when 274 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 3: you guys do get to a bowl game, great program 275 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 3: you've established there. What does your off season look like? 276 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 3: What does your program look like right now heading into 277 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 3: twenty twenty six. 278 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 4: Well, we'll, like everybody else, we're trying to wrap up 279 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 4: a recruiting class right now, and it's a little different 280 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 4: at the Academy's were we are not in the portal 281 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 4: like most colleges are. We're high school recruiting, and that's 282 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 4: the way we build our rosters and build our programs. 283 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 4: We always have and there's always. 284 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 3: Duty to that, isn't it. 285 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 4: I mean these days there is. I think I think 286 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 4: there's probably a lot of people in the profession and 287 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 4: trade places with me right now not having to not 288 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 4: having to deal with the with the portal and the 289 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 4: nil and rev share. But you know, it's just part 290 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 4: of college football. And that's you know, it's really not 291 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 4: a whole lot different. I was saying to somebody yesterday 292 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 4: than when I was a coach at Georgia Southern.

And and uh so I think you know, 297 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 4: everybody's finding finding their way through that, navigate navigating their 298 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 4: way through that. But we'll we'll wrap up our recruiting 299 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 4: class here, and we've already started off season workouts and 300 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 4: got our players getting prepared for spring practice.

We've got a coach. 341 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 6: We've got an offensive line coach. 342 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 5: Off go, Let's go, baby. I'm fired up. I know 343 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 5: that a lot of people in the building. 344 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 8: And you guys included no. Todd Mounkin from when he 345 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 8: was offensive coordinator with the Browns of twenty nineteen, and 346 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 8: nothing but amazing thing to say about the man, from 347 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 8: his leadership to his intelligence, his emotional intelligence, ability to 348 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 8: connect with players experienced, which I'm really excited about because. 349 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 5: I was a little bit nervous. 350 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 8: About hiring a real young guy. But I think really 351 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 8: with this hire, you get the best of both worlds 352 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 8: because you get a guy that you know very well 353 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 8: because he's been in the building. You get a guy 354 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,400 Speaker 8: that's got a wide network to be able to hire 355 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 8: great assistance. Kevin had a lot of good assistants that 356 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 8: were in his network that he was able to bring 357 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 8: in here into Cleveland, and I think that really helped him. 358 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 8: I think that will help Pod. That's a big reason 359 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 8: why you hire a head coach. But I think he's 360 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,439 Speaker 8: also got that leadership ability because he has been a 361 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 8: head coach before. He's been an offensive coordinat or a 362 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 8: bunch of places, but he's still that creative offensive mind 363 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 8: to be able to push this offense in the right 364 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 8: direction develop a young quarterback into a franchise guy. I 365 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 8: think they got the great the guy, They got the 366 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 8: guy they wanted. They got the right guy for this job. 367 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 9: Huff. When you have a guy who's coming in and 368 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 9: we kind of talked about some of the priorities, but 369 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 9: to me, we supporterback plan, wide receiver plan, offenselamp him, 370 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 9: then the culture plan. What do you want as a 371 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 9: former player for a young team, a team that you 372 00:20:55,960 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 9: know we've talked about the need accountability and that that toughness. 373 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,199 Speaker 9: What is it that you want to hear or see 374 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,360 Speaker 9: from Todd Monkin in his opening press or about that 375 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 9: specifically as a former player, that would resonate with you 376 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,640 Speaker 9: and say, Okay, this is good. 377 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 8: To be honest, words don't really matter too much for me. 378 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 8: I want to see the actions right. But the message 379 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 8: that I want Todd to relay to everybody is I've 380 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 8: been in these shoes before. I know what it takes 381 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 8: to win in the AFC North. I'm going to be 382 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 8: able to come in here and to be able to 383 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 8: develop a modern, cutting edge offense that utilizes our talent 384 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 8: to the best of the ability that we have, puts 385 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 8: them in the right positions to succeed. I'm going to 386 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,679 Speaker 8: motivate them, I'm going to hold them accountable. I'm going 387 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 8: to be able to work hand in hand and develop 388 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 8: a young quarterback. And I'm going to put together a 389 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,199 Speaker 8: staff that is going to be elite, that's going to 390 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 8: continue the dominance that we've had on the defensive side 391 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 8: of the football, and we're only going to be three 392 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 8: four or five six times better on the offensive side 393 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,360 Speaker 8: of the ball, because that is directly under my oversight, 394 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 8: and that is a big reason why they brought me here, 395 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 8: so that I can develop that young quarterback and give 396 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 8: us an offense that can win a Super Bowl, that 397 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 8: can win AFC North titles, and make us consistently successful. 398 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 7: When Todd was here in twenty nineteen, what were your 399 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 7: what do you remember about him? Just from a personality standpoint, 400 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 7: from a leadership standpoint, obviously you weren't around all the time, 401 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 7: but you were bouncing and out or remember doing You'd 402 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 7: be in here and we do shows and all of 403 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 7: those things, and you talked to most people on that staff. 404 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,360 Speaker 7: What is kind of your personal recollection of Todd the person? 405 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 8: Well, I think he's a great person. I think one 406 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 8: of his big skill sets is he is a people 407 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 8: connector right, it doesn't matter if you're a twenty year 408 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 8: old rookie or a sixty year old grizzled offensive line 409 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 8: coach or maybe seventy. If you're Bob Wiley like you 410 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 8: connect with him, right, you're going to have something in common. 411 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 8: He loves the game of football, he loves talking about football. 412 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,200 Speaker 8: But I think he takes interest in all the players 413 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 8: and all the people, the staff members that are around 414 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 8: the building individually in them, right, and that's meaningful. Right 415 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 8: when you're sitting in that role as a head coach, 416 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,199 Speaker 8: you need to get people to get out of their 417 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 8: comfort zone, to work a little bit harder, work more 418 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 8: together than they maybe are comfortable doing, because that's what 419 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 8: being a team is all about. And it's your job 420 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 8: to get those people to want to work and to 421 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 8: play for you because that relationship is important to them, 422 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 8: and so you get the most out of them. They 423 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 8: want to give more than just what their job description provides. 424 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 8: And I think Todd is that. 425 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 5: Type of guy. 426 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:32,919 Speaker 8: I'm sure you guys got a chance to get to 427 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 8: know him. You get to see him around the building, 428 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 8: you got to talk with him. He's great, he's engaging, 429 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 8: he's interesting, he's funny, he's got a great personality, he's 430 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,639 Speaker 8: got a great football mind. And I think that resonates 431 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 8: with an NFL locker room more than anything. Can you communicate, 432 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 8: how do you find a way to relate and how 433 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 8: do you show me that you're putting me in a 434 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 8: great position to succeed? And now it's on me. The 435 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 8: accountability is on me to go get it done. 436 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 9: A half. I don't know if you heard when you 437 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,919 Speaker 9: were on hold earlier, but I know one thing that 438 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,360 Speaker 9: might make you consider coming back and playing for him 439 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 9: is that Toddmunkin is gonna bring George Warhop with him 440 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 9: to be the new offensive line coach of the Cleveland Browns. 441 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 9: I know that he was a coach that you loved. 442 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 9: What does he bring to the table and a guy 443 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 9: that I know was a part of the hofbing the hof. 444 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:19,640 Speaker 8: Well, I wouldn't let the cat out of the bag, 445 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 8: but I kind of knew that was coming for a 446 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,199 Speaker 8: little while, and I am so fired up about it 447 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 8: because George is right there with Bill Callahan as one 448 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 8: of the best offensive line coaches of all time. 449 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 5: And I think the. 450 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 8: Skill set that George has right that you want from 451 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 8: in the line coach. All Right, they're gonna be tough, 452 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 8: they're gonna be hard working, they're gonna be accountable. But 453 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 8: more than that, and this is what Bill was really 454 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 8: good at. Bill Callahan is he can develop young guys. 455 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 8: He can develop those backup players that I think a 456 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 8: lot of offensive line coaches struggle with because they haven't 457 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 8: put the procedures in place every day that you go 458 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 8: out on the practice field. That drills the consistency and 459 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 8: the technique that he's demanding. That's how you develop offensive lineman. 460 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,880 Speaker 8: It's a million reps at a million different techniques. 461 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 5: That's how you get better. Right. 462 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 8: It's not like some of these flashy positions where you 463 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 8: just go out and you catch the football and you 464 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:09,400 Speaker 8: dance around in your underwear. 465 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 5: No. 466 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 8: Like, to be a good offensive lineman, you go three 467 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 8: hours every day, you beat your head against the bag, 468 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 8: you do ten thousand different drills exactly the same way, 469 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,199 Speaker 8: and then you do it so many times, not that 470 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 8: you get it right, but that you can't get it 471 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,880 Speaker 8: wrong anymore, and you're doing it in your sleep. That's 472 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 8: the type of coach that George is and what that 473 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 8: gives you. Like from a strategy standpoint, if I'm sitting 474 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 8: there and not Andrew Berry, I'm going this is amazing, right, 475 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 8: because offensive line coaches have the most impact on player 476 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 8: development and taking a guy from where he is to 477 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 8: where he is when he's on the field months years later. 478 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 8: Because like I said, it's not so much about talent, 479 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 8: it's about the work ethic. It's about doing the technique 480 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 8: putting your body in the right position to be able 481 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,239 Speaker 8: to succeed. And George is able to do that. So 482 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 8: Andrew's looking at it going, Okay, these guys that maybe 483 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 8: weren't my elite starters, maybe some of these guys I'm 484 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 8: bringing in fourth fifth rounders. He has the confidence in 485 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 8: knowing that George is going to be able to turn 486 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 8: those guys into reliable starters. Maybe he's not going to 487 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 8: turn him into all pros, right, because everybody has a ceiling. 488 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,120 Speaker 8: But I'll give you the example of Jason Pingston, right. 489 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 8: He was a mid level guard from pitt not really 490 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 8: highly todded coming out, but George worked with him, George 491 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 8: developed him, and he became a very good starter in 492 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,640 Speaker 8: the NFL next to me at left guard before Joel 493 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 8: Boltonio came in. And so that's the type of story 494 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 8: that you hear with the guys that George has worked 495 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 8: with throughout his career. He's able to develop those guys 496 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 8: that maybe other coaches can't, and you can get great 497 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 8: value out of those mid to late round picks, those 498 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 8: guys that are cheaper in free agency because George is 499 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 8: a developer. 500 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,680 Speaker 9: Yeah, if you're just joining us and you're unfamiliar. 501 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 7: George Warhop accorney to Adam Schefter and the hoff is 502 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 7: coming here to be the offensive line coach and large 503 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 7: advocated for him. George was here from nine to thirteen, 504 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 7: so hits his second tour of duty here as well. 505 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 7: So that's that there's familiarity in that. 506 00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 9: Sense, no doubt. And look as you look on his Wikipedia. 507 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 9: In his Wikipedia, yeah, look at the first year that 508 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 9: he started coaching the offensive line position in the National 509 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 9: Football League Ramts nineteen ninety sixty six, nineteen ninety six. 510 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 6: Ninety six. 511 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 9: Is that coach that might be? Oh pace, he's been 512 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 9: coaching the offensive line in the league for three three decades. 513 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, this is This. 514 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 9: Is a professional veteran offensive line. 515 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 6: So this leads me to the next question. 516 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 7: Because we were thinking about like the checklist for Todd 517 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 7: and how this all comes together. One of the first 518 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 7: things that we said was, okay, you got to put 519 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 7: a staff together, and we talked about how important that 520 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 7: offensive line coach was. And one thing I said in 521 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 7: the first hour of the program was when we had Bill, 522 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 7: and we had really great talent on the offensive line 523 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,400 Speaker 7: in their prime at the time when we had Bill, 524 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 7: but it felt like if there was an injury, Bill 525 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 7: was an absolute savant of getting a guy who maybe 526 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 7: didn't have the talent play up, And I was I'm 527 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 7: not you, clearly, but like I was thinking to myself, 528 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 7: is this a position where if you are expertly coached, 529 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 7: there's maybe as much as any position in the league 530 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,679 Speaker 7: you can max out whatever talent you have if you 531 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 7: are expertly coached. 532 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 6: Is that fair? 533 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 5: No doubt. 534 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 8: There's a wider range probably at the offensive line position 535 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,639 Speaker 8: of Florida ceiling than any other position because it's so 536 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 8: skill based, and the skills that you learn are not 537 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,880 Speaker 8: things that you roll out of your mile as womb. 538 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 5: Being able to do. 539 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 8: I mean, tick set backwards at full speed with your 540 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,439 Speaker 8: base three feet wide and then go block Miles Garrett 541 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 8: coming off the edge three and a half feet off 542 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:29,919 Speaker 8: the ground, turning the corner at a four five forty 543 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 8: Like those are not things that are normal. Like catching 544 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 8: the football, you do that basically you can walk if 545 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 8: you're an athlete throwing the football, Throwing things. I mean 546 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 8: my son's throwing ice cubes at his sisters since he 547 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 8: was three years old, Like, those are normal things that 548 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 8: you learned running forward we all do that at some point. 549 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 8: If we can run playing on the offensive line. I 550 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 8: don't see many people going out kicksetting or duck walking 551 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 8: or gorilla walking or whatever you want to call it, 552 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 8: because it's just unnatural things. And so you got to 553 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 8: take a guy who's good athlete, big, powerful and strong, 554 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 8: and you've got to teaching these skills. And if you 555 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 8: can do those skills, you can play a long time. 556 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 8: That's why there's a lot of old offensive linemen in 557 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 8: the NFL that are playing a lot longer than they 558 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 8: can barely walk. Because if you can get in a 559 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 8: position and you can use your brain, you can get 560 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 8: your body in between them, and you can win with 561 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 8: bio mechanics. And that's the thing that George teaches you 562 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 8: how to do. 563 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 5: Huff. 564 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 9: Do you think, you know we see him George coming 565 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 9: from that staff. Do you think one of the things, 566 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 9: you know, maybe we take a look at here is 567 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 9: is the Ravens staff from last year. These are guys 568 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 9: that obviously he enjoyed coaching with for multiple seasons, and 569 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 9: I wonder how many of them, with Harbab being out, 570 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 9: how many of them could be on their way here? 571 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 9: Warhop was his Oh line coach, for example, and you 572 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 9: just it make sense to me that perhaps there could 573 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 9: be more people from that staff on their way here. 574 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 9: And is that important, that kind of continuity and familiarity. 575 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it's really important. And that's one of 576 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 8: the things I mentioned when I posted a video this 577 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 8: week just talking about the things that make me nervous 578 00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 8: about a young head coach. 579 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 5: Yes, you know, it's great the young guys. 580 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 8: I think they're on the cutting edge of techniques, philosophies, 581 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 8: and you know, they can push your scheme forward, which 582 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 8: is great, Like that's important, of course, but it's where 583 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,719 Speaker 8: is their network. How many guys have they worked with 584 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 8: that they know that they can pick up the phone 585 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 8: and say, come to Cleveland with me. And it's not 586 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 8: a cold call because the unfortunate situation we're in is 587 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 8: it's not the most desirable open position. 588 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 5: Now. 589 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 8: Granted for guys that don't have a job, you know, 590 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 8: maybe they'll be willing to introduce themselves to Todd and 591 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 8: work together, but it's an old boys system. You want 592 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 8: to know the guy that you're going to work with. 593 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 8: You're going to want to trust them, You're going to 594 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 8: want to know how he runs his meetings, how he 595 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 8: runs his program, what his expectations are, and so you 596 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 8: want to generally work for somebody that you know that 597 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 8: you're willing to trust this period of your life to him, 598 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 8: to be able to look at your wife in the 599 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 8: eye and say, honey, we're moving to Cleveland, and know 600 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 8: that it's going to be something that's going to be 601 00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 8: around for a while and you're not going to have 602 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 8: to tell her nine then two years from now. Oh honey, 603 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 8: by the way, we got to move again because we 604 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 8: got fired because I trusted this guy. I didn't really 605 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 8: know him, and uh, well we all got fired because 606 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 8: he wasn't very good. So having that familiarity and having 607 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 8: those tentacles throughout the league, like a guy like Todd 608 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 8: Munkin has, is a huge, huge benefit when you hire 609 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 8: him as a head coach, because when he picks up 610 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 8: the phone and a guy like George Warhop is available, 611 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 8: who's one of the best offensive line coaches in the league, 612 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 8: George says on day one, yep, I'll be there. 613 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 9: Yeah, So just real quickly, some names there. Willie Taggart 614 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 9: was the assistant head coach and the running back coach 615 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 9: all three years that Monkin was the offensive coordinator. T Martin, 616 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 9: Tennessee legend was the offensive quarterback coach there. Real quickly. 617 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 7: Taggart was former head coach at USF and then Oregon 618 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 7: and Florida State, so he was in that college world. 619 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 7: And then Tim Martin was the national championship quarterback at Tennessee. 620 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 9: Yep, Greg Lewis, the former Eagles wide receiver, has been 621 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,239 Speaker 9: their wide receivers coach. The run game coordinator's a guy 622 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 9: named Travis Witzer, and the assistant offensive line coach Trevelle Wharton, 623 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 9: who I think played for the Panthers, if I'm not mistaken. 624 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 9: Could Does that sound right? 625 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 10: Huff? 626 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 8: Yeah, a little bit of commanders at the end, but yeah, 627 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 8: great player. And I don't know him personally, but I'm 628 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 8: sure if he's learned from Georgia, he's pretty good. 629 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 5: Yeah. 630 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 9: So that's the offensive staff that he had, and then 631 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 9: they also had an offensive assistant coach named Danny Bryer. 632 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 9: So t Martin Tennessee feels like a Tennessee connection would 633 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 9: make a lot of sense here, obviously, but we'll see 634 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 9: how many of those guys. He's already pulled. One of 635 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 9: them obviously, that being George Warhop. 636 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 7: Huff in terms of what you think, you know, we 637 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 7: were One of the other things we kind of were 638 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 7: talking about is like, all right, what are the Todd 639 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 7: Monk in Cleveland Browns? And one thing that's I think 640 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 7: really cool about him is, you know, what he did 641 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 7: at Georgia with that talent was very different than what 642 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 7: he did offensively with Lamar. I think Todd's pretty malleable. 643 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 7: I think he can build an offense around whatever your 644 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 7: skill set is. But in terms of the identity, what 645 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 7: do you I guess I'll put you try to get 646 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 7: you to get inside his head. What do you think 647 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 7: that Todd Monk and Cleveland Browns will be all about? 648 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 7: What will be their ethos? And then beyond that, what 649 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 7: do you hope it is? 650 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:10,239 Speaker 3: Well? 651 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 8: I think the great thing is when you get a 652 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 8: guy who's an experienced coordinator, he's been around, he's done 653 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 8: to a lot of different stuff. It gives them the 654 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 8: ability to look at his players and say, Okay, this 655 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 8: is the scheme that I think that they're going to 656 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 8: run the best. So you can move and mold your 657 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 8: scheme to the players that you have. Now, you're not 658 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 8: gonna want to change year in and year out and 659 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 8: you're going to have your base fundamentals and your philosophy. 660 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 8: But it gives you great flexibility where you bring in 661 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 8: a guy that maybe is kind of new, he just 662 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 8: kind of knows what he's doing and he knows what 663 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 8: he has done recently, which is, you know, he's only 664 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 8: been around for a short period of time. So he's 665 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 8: going to kind of do that and kind of try 666 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 8: to fit the players into that mold, which sometimes it works, 667 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 8: but sometimes it's a little bit tough. But I think 668 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 8: with Todd, he is a past first guy, but I 669 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,120 Speaker 8: don't think he's reckless about it. And I think you 670 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 8: guys will remember that when he was in Cleveland, he 671 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,880 Speaker 8: liked to throw the football. He was comfortable throwing on 672 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,479 Speaker 8: first down and being aggressive. But I think that's kind 673 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,319 Speaker 8: of where the NFL is today, to be honest. But 674 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,280 Speaker 8: he gives you multiplicity in your different schemes. Like I said, 675 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,400 Speaker 8: with that background, but he likes to change formations, different 676 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 8: personnel groupings. He's going to add a lot of motion 677 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 8: and high disguise and window dressing and try to make 678 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:22,720 Speaker 8: it hard on a defense. 679 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 5: His philosophy is he. 680 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,399 Speaker 8: Wants to put the defense on their heels, and then 681 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 8: he wants to get into personnel groupings and shifts and 682 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,960 Speaker 8: formations to know where the windows and the holes in 683 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 8: that defense are going to be, because typically when a 684 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 8: defense sees a lot of shifts in motion, they get 685 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 8: basic right because they're just trying to communicate, get lined 686 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 8: up right, so every gap is covered. And when you 687 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,319 Speaker 8: can do that to a defense, you get them on 688 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,799 Speaker 8: their heels. Now you know basically what their checks are. 689 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,799 Speaker 8: So if you put a weird personnel grouping in there, 690 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 8: let's just say, and you have a weird formation and 691 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 8: a shift. If they're not exactly sure what you're doing, 692 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 8: or you're doing something that maybe they haven't seen or 693 00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 8: game plan for recently, they check to some basic stuff 694 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 8: and a lot of times those checks are consistent throughout 695 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 8: the league and throughout excuse me, throughout the year. So 696 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 8: on offense, from watching film, you kind of know what 697 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:09,879 Speaker 8: defense they're going to be in in that situation when 698 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:11,439 Speaker 8: you call that play and you got that chip motion 699 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 8: personnel grouping, and then the beauty is like, all right, 700 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 8: well I can now teach my players. I can go 701 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 8: through the walk through and then practice that. Hey, you 702 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,360 Speaker 8: still have to be honest, but we think they're going 703 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 8: to check and do this when we are in this 704 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,279 Speaker 8: play this week, and here's the hole, so I want 705 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 8: you to look here first. Then if that's not open, 706 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:31,439 Speaker 8: they're taking that away. 707 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:31,840 Speaker 5: Boom. 708 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,880 Speaker 8: Now you've got your progression, but it gives you a 709 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,840 Speaker 8: jump and a head start and a one step ahead 710 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,720 Speaker 8: of where that defense is before the ball gets snapped. 711 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 2: Coming up after this quick time out, one final segment 712 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 2: here in our number one on this special edition of 713 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns Daily, it's Brown's radio analyst and Ohio State 714 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,919 Speaker 2: football legend, Tyvius Powell.

You know when 736 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,360 Speaker 5: you when you talk about the sports world, you gotta 737 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 5: know it all. Bo, You know how it is to 738 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 5: be in the Cleveland market and the Columbus market. They 739 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,480 Speaker 5: want to know everything. You have to be the expert. 740 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:19,000 Speaker 5: Guess who taught me that? Bolt Bishop, Oh. 741 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:19,759 Speaker 4: Well, there it is. 742 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 6: There's the big payoff. I was hoping for a little 743 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 6: bit of gratitude. I appreciate that's great. 744 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:24,400 Speaker 9: Nephew. 745 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,520 Speaker 6: Hey man, we got to coach. What what did you 746 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,840 Speaker 6: What do you know of Todd? 747 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 7: If you played for so many places throughout the time, 748 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,160 Speaker 7: did your paths ever cross path and what did you 749 00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 7: make of the Higher when you first heard about it? 750 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:46,440 Speaker 5: Well, our paths never crossed. Shockingly, I think I probably 751 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,600 Speaker 5: had the same reaction that everybody else did. You know, 752 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,279 Speaker 5: for three weeks, you're you're on edge waiting to see 753 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 5: who it's gonna be. You hear so many different names 754 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 5: get thrown around, and when you finally land on Todd Monkin, 755 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 5: it's kind of like, oh, okay, And I was it 756 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 5: wasn't the sexy higher that I was looking for, But 757 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,520 Speaker 5: and then I started digging deep into it, I'm like, 758 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,319 Speaker 5: you know what, it kind of makes sense. You know, 759 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,640 Speaker 5: I thought at the beginning of this search, I said 760 00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,440 Speaker 5: they needed a guy who was a leader of men, 761 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,480 Speaker 5: a guy that can come in and hold guys accountable. Well, 762 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,400 Speaker 5: Todd Mounkin is definitely that guy that can do those things. 763 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,399 Speaker 5: You know, you heard Andrew Berry talk about how they 764 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:27,080 Speaker 5: really want to get the offensive side of the ball together. Well, 765 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 5: Todd Monkin fixes that problem as well. And then you 766 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,920 Speaker 5: think about that quarterback room. You know he Baltimore reportedly 767 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:37,440 Speaker 5: allegedly wanted to draft your door. If that is true, 768 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,200 Speaker 5: guess who probably wanted to wanted to draft your door, 769 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 5: Todd Mounkin. So to me, it seems like it made sense. 770 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,239 Speaker 5: I just think that you know, obviously him being a 771 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,160 Speaker 5: first time head coach, nobody likes that part. But you 772 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,840 Speaker 5: hear and just listen to everybody speak about how he 773 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,760 Speaker 5: goes about his business. He's a straight shooter, he doesn't 774 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 5: sugarcoat anything, and he gets guys to play well. And 775 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,360 Speaker 5: he's not high to one offense. He is a great 776 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,480 Speaker 5: He does a great job of having different styles of 777 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,520 Speaker 5: offenses that fit different guys. So maybe that can come 778 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,280 Speaker 5: in and help this quarterback room in his offense elevate 779 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 5: to the next level. 780 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,439 Speaker 9: What do you hope or what do you think? 781 00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 5: You know? 782 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 9: We talked yesterday about the importance you know, of getting 783 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,520 Speaker 9: the quarterback room right, getting some receiver help, getting the line. 784 00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,120 Speaker 9: But then the big one to me is kind of 785 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 9: the culture, the identity. What do you want the Todd 786 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,320 Speaker 9: Monkin Cleveland Browns to be or what do you hope 787 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 9: you know he comes into. We've heard some people say, 788 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:32,839 Speaker 9: you know, why would you listen to Todd Munkin even 789 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,359 Speaker 9: though he's been a coach for thirty seven years? What 790 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,719 Speaker 9: do you want him to communicate to this locker room, 791 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:39,360 Speaker 9: what do you want the message in the identity to be? 792 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,799 Speaker 5: Physicality wins games. I think that, you know, I think 793 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,919 Speaker 5: Jim Schwartz did a really good job of showing that. 794 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:47,400 Speaker 5: You know, when he was on the defense side of 795 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,000 Speaker 5: the ball. I no, he wasn't the head coach, but 796 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,400 Speaker 5: you can't deny the fact that Jim Schwartz came in 797 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,440 Speaker 5: there and changed the identity of the Cleveland Browns. They 798 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,440 Speaker 5: brought the fight to everybody in his first year, and 799 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,480 Speaker 5: I'm hoping with Todd Munkin that replicates on the offensive 800 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 5: side of the ball where those guys are. Obviously, you 801 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:04,920 Speaker 5: have to build up the offensive line, but to me, 802 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,359 Speaker 5: that's the most important part. You get that offensive line 803 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,600 Speaker 5: up and be able to run the ball, get Quinn 804 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,640 Speaker 5: Shawn Junkins going. Because as productive as Quinn Shawn Jenkins 805 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:14,879 Speaker 5: was this year, it wasn't with a lot of line help. 806 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,640 Speaker 5: So just imagine if we can fix that portion of it. 807 00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,640 Speaker 5: I think obviously the run game opens up everything else 808 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,320 Speaker 5: in the past. You know, you think about him at Georgia, 809 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,560 Speaker 5: you think about him with the Ravens. 810 00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 11: They had Derrick Henry. That run game opened. 811 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 5: Up a lot of things and that allow Lamar to 812 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,920 Speaker 5: have really good seasons as the passers. So I think 813 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,719 Speaker 5: to me, physicality and toughness would be the things that 814 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:37,560 Speaker 5: come to mind that I would love to see our 815 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 5: offense get. I mean, just think about it, the Cleveland Browns. 816 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:41,719 Speaker 5: When you think of the. 817 00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,480 Speaker 11: Cleveland Browns, that's the first thing that comes to mind. 818 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,920 Speaker 5: Is that you want toughness, physicality because of that's just 819 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,000 Speaker 5: how the city is. You know, you think of the 820 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,960 Speaker 5: Jim Brown's, Nick Chubbs, those guys. When we were when 821 00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:53,680 Speaker 5: we had that runner back that can run the game, 822 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 5: run the ball very well, we had a ton of 823 00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,920 Speaker 5: success and I think that's something that was missing last year. 824 00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,440 Speaker 5: So hopefully he's able to get that going again. 825 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,080 Speaker 7: You hit on this in an earlier answer about the 826 00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,399 Speaker 7: diversity of scheme. One thing that I think is really 827 00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:11,120 Speaker 7: cool about Todd is obviously what he was doing at 828 00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:15,319 Speaker 7: Georgia was very different than what he did at Baltimore, 829 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,760 Speaker 7: and in terms of he had two very different quarterbacks. 830 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:20,560 Speaker 7: I mean, he had a walk on quarterback at Georgia 831 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,680 Speaker 7: who he coordinated to two straight national championships, and then 832 00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,200 Speaker 7: he goes to Baltimore and he's got an MVP and 833 00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,000 Speaker 7: it's one of the The Lamar season with him is 834 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:31,760 Speaker 7: one of the great seasons in the history of the sport, 835 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:33,800 Speaker 7: there's no denying it. And he won an MVP with 836 00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,759 Speaker 7: him as well, But the offenses weren't similar as well. 837 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:38,759 Speaker 7: And obviously we had him in nineteen and got to 838 00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:41,560 Speaker 7: talk to him quite a bit, but just the diversity 839 00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 7: of I'm going to take what I got and amplify that. 840 00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:48,719 Speaker 7: So to me, that's a really positive thing because we're 841 00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:52,480 Speaker 7: not pigeonholed into this is what we are offensively. 842 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:54,320 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that with Kevin. 843 00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,000 Speaker 5: You know, when Kevin had his best success, it was 844 00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,880 Speaker 5: under center play action, you know, over outs, boots and 845 00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 5: things like that. 846 00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:02,440 Speaker 11: And then as you. 847 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,520 Speaker 5: Make the trade for DeShawn, that's not quite Deshne's style, 848 00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:07,799 Speaker 5: so we switch it and we got more shotgun. But 849 00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,360 Speaker 5: is that Kevin struts. You know, that's not what Kevin 850 00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,560 Speaker 5: was known for. You're changing what Kevin is an expert 851 00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:15,680 Speaker 5: in and things like that. You're taking play action out 852 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,680 Speaker 5: of it. And Kevin is a huge component of play actions. 853 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,840 Speaker 5: So to me, when you're dealing with a coach that's 854 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,120 Speaker 5: done at different level. Then you're dealing with Let's say 855 00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,799 Speaker 5: Shador is the starter. You know, Shador isn't that far 856 00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 5: removed from college. So you got a guy who went 857 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:32,680 Speaker 5: to college for two three years and dominated, won two 858 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:36,840 Speaker 5: national championships running that college style of offense, then was 859 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,800 Speaker 5: able to go to the pro and dominate on offense 860 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,279 Speaker 5: in the pros. Now you're dealing with a kid that's 861 00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,799 Speaker 5: coming out of college from two years ago. Maybe this 862 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:47,880 Speaker 5: is what he was comfortable with in college. I think 863 00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,040 Speaker 5: with Todd Monkey he could do a great job of 864 00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:54,800 Speaker 5: creating a playbook that fits Shador Sanders or fits Deshaun Watson, 865 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:56,759 Speaker 5: and I think that's what you need. You don't want 866 00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,399 Speaker 5: to be pigeonholed into that one thing because every thing 867 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,799 Speaker 5: every offen doesn't work for every quarterback. So hopefully he 868 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,399 Speaker 5: does a great job of creating that playbook, creating those 869 00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,880 Speaker 5: plays that should do or or Doshine or Dylan Gabriel 870 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,360 Speaker 5: is comfortable with running and that it gets us a 871 00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:14,040 Speaker 5: lot of success on the offensive side of the ball. 872 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,359 Speaker 5: I think that is a really good thing about Todd. 873 00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:19,040 Speaker 9: Yeah, he's I we say he signed it up for 874 00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:20,759 Speaker 9: a very long time, and I think What I like 875 00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:22,640 Speaker 9: about too, is he's also done that most recently at 876 00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:26,120 Speaker 9: a very high level in this division. You know, how 877 00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:28,279 Speaker 9: much does that in your mind? Does that help when 878 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,600 Speaker 9: you have somebody who has very good intimate knowledge and 879 00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,359 Speaker 9: success in the division against the teams that you've got 880 00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,160 Speaker 9: to beat. Those are the six games you have every 881 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,360 Speaker 9: single year on the schedule, and the easiest way to 882 00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:39,920 Speaker 9: get in the playoffs is to win your division. 883 00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:44,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that one having that success against other teams, 884 00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:46,920 Speaker 5: especially on the offensive side of the ball, is going 885 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,799 Speaker 5: to be paying huge dividends. But I also think him 886 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:53,560 Speaker 5: being in Baltimore, you know, being in that organization, you know, 887 00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,000 Speaker 5: he's learned some things there. Obviously, he was in Cleveland 888 00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,840 Speaker 5: in twenty nineteen, left when to college, went to Baltimore. 889 00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,200 Speaker 5: He went to two different plays, has some ton of 890 00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:03,720 Speaker 5: success and has won a lot of games in Georgia 891 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,719 Speaker 5: and in Baltimore. So he's learned some things. He can 892 00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:08,759 Speaker 5: be able to compare and contrast some of the good 893 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:10,920 Speaker 5: and bad things that he learned from twenty nineteen with 894 00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,239 Speaker 5: the Browns and what he learned from everywhere else, and 895 00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:18,000 Speaker 5: he can make that culture here in the Browns organization. 896 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,160 Speaker 5: So to me, that's the guy that's been around as 897 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:23,120 Speaker 5: seen winning and ken. I think players will gravitate to 898 00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,799 Speaker 5: that because they know he's been successful where he's been 899 00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:28,640 Speaker 5: these last two stops. So let's see what he has 900 00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:31,120 Speaker 5: to talk about. What is he changing, what he's doing 901 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,279 Speaker 5: that's different from Kevin. I think those things will pay 902 00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:37,239 Speaker 5: dividends in the end as well. I'm just excited to 903 00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:38,839 Speaker 5: see it. To be honest with Jet First, like I said, 904 00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:42,040 Speaker 5: everybody is kind of they feel they whatever they feel 905 00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:45,160 Speaker 5: about the hiring process. Obviously, with the Gym Schwartz part 906 00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:47,440 Speaker 5: of the stuff I looming in the air. Nobody knows 907 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,920 Speaker 5: what's going on with that, so that makes people scared. 908 00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,440 Speaker 5: But I don't know. I'm excited. I think that this 909 00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,200 Speaker 5: might be what the Browns need. It's not. It might 910 00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,960 Speaker 5: not be necessarily what guys want, but it might be 911 00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:02,000 Speaker 5: exactly what they need. Because you're talking about a young team. 912 00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:03,880 Speaker 11: I know that we got a lot of the defense 913 00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:04,520 Speaker 11: coming back, but. 914 00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,960 Speaker 5: For the most part, you had a really good rookie class, 915 00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,399 Speaker 5: and I think we've had the most rookies play last 916 00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,440 Speaker 5: year whatever. I think that was the case, and I 917 00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,360 Speaker 5: think you're losing a ton of veterans to free agency 918 00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:16,800 Speaker 5: this upcoming year, So that means that you're going to 919 00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,520 Speaker 5: have to replenish your roster with a bunch of drafted 920 00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:22,839 Speaker 5: and undrafted guys, a lot of young guys. It's time 921 00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:24,920 Speaker 5: the lay the foundation. You have to get these guys 922 00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:27,959 Speaker 5: to mature fast to show them how to win games 923 00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,760 Speaker 5: in the NFL. So I think you need that strong 924 00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:33,480 Speaker 5: minded coach that can get guys to fall in line 925 00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:35,919 Speaker 5: and show them how to win games the tough way, 926 00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:38,840 Speaker 5: and I think that that ultimately will help this team 927 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:40,400 Speaker 5: be better moving forward. 928 00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,560 Speaker 7: Talking to our great buddy, Brown's analyst, former Buckeye Great, 929 00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,200 Speaker 7: MVP of the National Championship Game, He's Tyvis Powell and 930 00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 7: he's on the Twisted T Hotline presented by Twisted T 931 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:51,640 Speaker 7: Harts t official sponsor Cleveland Browns. Keep it Twisted, Cleveland Tivas. 932 00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,120 Speaker 7: There's another part of that, and you alluded to it 933 00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:55,879 Speaker 7: there at the end. Todd knows this division very well. 934 00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,120 Speaker 7: This is a massive offseason for us, not just in 935 00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,799 Speaker 7: coaching hires, but in terms of rebuilding this offense. There's 936 00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:05,200 Speaker 7: gonna be free agency, there's gonna be a draft. You're 937 00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:06,920 Speaker 7: gonna need to hit on a lot of that stuff 938 00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:10,080 Speaker 7: to rebuild this offense. How much does it help that 939 00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:11,920 Speaker 7: you now have a guy who's going to be involved 940 00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:13,920 Speaker 7: in that process who spent the last three years in 941 00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:17,600 Speaker 7: the division and knows exactly what the divisional opponents have 942 00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:18,400 Speaker 7: and what they have not. 943 00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:21,520 Speaker 5: I think that was a big part of also why 944 00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:23,840 Speaker 5: he got hired as a job, because he has the 945 00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,920 Speaker 5: inside school on some a lot of these teams. I mean, 946 00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,239 Speaker 5: you think about some of the best teams that's in 947 00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:32,480 Speaker 5: this conference or in this division. I should say, you know, 948 00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:36,200 Speaker 5: everybody looks at Baltimore like Baltimore probably is the top 949 00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:37,239 Speaker 5: team between. 950 00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:38,400 Speaker 11: Them and probably Cincinnati. 951 00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:42,440 Speaker 5: Right. Well, he knows what Baltimore has because he's been 952 00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,000 Speaker 5: in there. He's able to see how they were able 953 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,560 Speaker 5: to build their offense. So now he can bring that 954 00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:50,360 Speaker 5: knowledge to the Cleveland Browns and say, hey, this is 955 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,400 Speaker 5: the guy that we need. Or you know, maybe Tyler Lindenbond, 956 00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:54,879 Speaker 5: that's a guy that might be a free agent. Ay, 957 00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,040 Speaker 5: let's bring him in like that type of thing. You know, 958 00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:00,680 Speaker 5: George Pickens, he coached them at Georgia. Let's bring them in. 959 00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,239 Speaker 5: You know, you never know, it's so many different connections 960 00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:07,280 Speaker 5: there that he can utilize to help bring the offense 961 00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,719 Speaker 5: that he wants. And obviously he's going to be in 962 00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:11,600 Speaker 5: there when they do the draft, and he's gonna be 963 00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:13,200 Speaker 5: able to look at some of these guys and say, 964 00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:14,839 Speaker 5: you know what that skill set, that. 965 00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:15,640 Speaker 11: Thing that he's doing. 966 00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:17,840 Speaker 5: It might be like a scout might look and see 967 00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:19,839 Speaker 5: like four plays. He might be like, you know what, 968 00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:23,080 Speaker 5: those four plays is exactly what I need on this offense, 969 00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:24,200 Speaker 5: and boom. 970 00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:25,920 Speaker 11: He can use utilize his skill set. 971 00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:28,280 Speaker 5: To be able to maximize his potential in the NFL. 972 00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:30,440 Speaker 5: I think it's a really big, a really great thing. 973 00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:33,120 Speaker 5: I really do. Like I said, it might not be 974 00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:36,160 Speaker 5: the hot higher that everybody wants, but I think ultimately 975 00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,239 Speaker 5: is exactly what this team needs. 976 00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:42,560 Speaker 9: How important do you think it is along those lines 977 00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,600 Speaker 9: that we know Andrew Berry has been saying it since, 978 00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:47,160 Speaker 9: you know, after the season was over, that we have 979 00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:50,279 Speaker 9: got to get this offense. A lot of investment into 980 00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:52,880 Speaker 9: the resources in that offense. We're seeing investment obviously in 981 00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:54,919 Speaker 9: the head coaching higher that it's an offensive head coach 982 00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,440 Speaker 9: and Todd Mounkin. You know that for Todd to be 983 00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:03,600 Speaker 9: very connected and involved with some of those personnel decisions 984 00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:06,080 Speaker 9: because this is here. It's been a long time to 985 00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,120 Speaker 9: be a head coach, Like I would imagine he's gonna 986 00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:09,719 Speaker 9: want the guys that he's gonna want in there. 987 00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,319 Speaker 5: Oh for sure. I think what it was refreshing to 988 00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:17,560 Speaker 5: hear it for me and I thought about you, thought 989 00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,640 Speaker 5: about you because I want we We've definitely been wanting 990 00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:23,520 Speaker 5: to see this offense takeoff. We've seen this defense, yes, 991 00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:26,720 Speaker 5: be dominant on a week two week basis. We wanted 992 00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:29,239 Speaker 5: some more excitement on offense and it's it's just so 993 00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:31,839 Speaker 5: nice to know that they're not blind to the fact 994 00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:33,600 Speaker 5: that they know what they need. You know. It seems 995 00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:37,520 Speaker 5: like last year everybody kind of had this mindset that 996 00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:40,360 Speaker 5: the Browns need to get some weapons, and then the 997 00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:43,720 Speaker 5: draft happened and that really didn't happen as far as 998 00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,239 Speaker 5: the number one, the first round pick, with it going 999 00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,839 Speaker 5: to Mason Graham. But again, it might not have been 1000 00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:51,360 Speaker 5: something we wanted. It was something that we needed. Mason 1001 00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:53,719 Speaker 5: Graham's turned out to be a really good player, you know, 1002 00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:57,680 Speaker 5: but it wasn't the splash move that we wanted. Well, 1003 00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:01,440 Speaker 5: it's nice to hear Andrew Berry thinking about finally addressing 1004 00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:04,399 Speaker 5: that offense and saying like, yes, we're not good enough 1005 00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:06,160 Speaker 5: on the offense side of the ball, so we need 1006 00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:09,960 Speaker 5: to address that offensive line and wire receivers and things 1007 00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:13,320 Speaker 5: like that. So to me, I'm excited to see March eleventh. 1008 00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:16,319 Speaker 5: I think that's when free agency start. Don't necessarily know 1009 00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:18,480 Speaker 5: how much money were gonna have to spend. I don't 1010 00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:19,320 Speaker 5: know if we're gonna. 1011 00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:19,680 Speaker 8: Make moves there. 1012 00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:21,600 Speaker 9: I think we have George Pickings money right now. 1013 00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:23,319 Speaker 5: I can tell you that, no, we ain't got George 1014 00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:25,279 Speaker 5: crie We did well. George pick is probably a your 1015 00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:28,120 Speaker 5: franchise tagged anyway, so he'll be off the board anyways. 1016 00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:30,680 Speaker 5: But I think that, you know, I don't know if 1017 00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:32,880 Speaker 5: we'll be able to make any splash moves in free agency. 1018 00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,680 Speaker 5: It probably will come through the draft. But we are 1019 00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:38,400 Speaker 5: in prom position to take some really good playmakers and 1020 00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:41,360 Speaker 5: some really good players, especially early on in this draft. 1021 00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:43,439 Speaker 5: Excited to see them hit on that pig. 1022 00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:47,040 Speaker 9: Me too, and just to kind of tie a bow. 1023 00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:49,600 Speaker 9: We talked a lot about this offense and that right now, 1024 00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:52,000 Speaker 9: but you mentioned the defense earlier, and look, Jim Schwartz 1025 00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,640 Speaker 9: is under contract to be the defensive coordinator. I understand 1026 00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:56,560 Speaker 9: why he's you know bummed out that he did not 1027 00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:59,239 Speaker 9: get the head coaching job, but I certainly hope that 1028 00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:00,880 Speaker 9: he is back. We've got a lot of guys on 1029 00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:02,520 Speaker 9: the staff that have been with him, you know, for 1030 00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:05,040 Speaker 9: the last few years, and who have been defensive coordinators, 1031 00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:07,200 Speaker 9: whether it be at the collegiate or the professional level. 1032 00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:11,319 Speaker 9: But you know, I'm hoping that ultimately we can with 1033 00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:13,440 Speaker 9: some time, in some distance, we can get Jim Schwartz 1034 00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:15,520 Speaker 9: back in here to run this defense, because that has 1035 00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:18,319 Speaker 9: been the calling card of this football team has been 1036 00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:21,280 Speaker 9: the defense and then obviously defense coordinated by Jim Schwartz. 1037 00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:25,280 Speaker 5: Honestly, I think him and Todd could really do damage 1038 00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:29,040 Speaker 5: in this division. I really do because they if they 1039 00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:32,320 Speaker 5: say that, you know, Todd Monkin is the offensive version 1040 00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:35,399 Speaker 5: of Jim Schwartz and those both are Alphless. Well, We've 1041 00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,239 Speaker 5: seen how they got their guys to play on Sundays. 1042 00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:40,160 Speaker 5: We can get that on both sides of the ball. 1043 00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:43,080 Speaker 5: I think we cook and agree, so hopefully Jim Swartz again, 1044 00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:46,480 Speaker 5: I'm with you, Nathan. I totally understand why Jim Schwartz 1045 00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:48,600 Speaker 5: feel the way he feels. I probably would feel the 1046 00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,160 Speaker 5: same way too. I'm hoping that the relationship that he 1047 00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:55,600 Speaker 5: has with those players, with Miles Grant, Denzel, you know, Carson. 1048 00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:57,879 Speaker 5: I hope those guys can reach out to him and 1049 00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,239 Speaker 5: you know, say hey, coach, we kind of needs you 1050 00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:02,359 Speaker 5: you you know, and things like that, and hopefully those 1051 00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,799 Speaker 5: relationships is the thing that keep him around, because it's 1052 00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,080 Speaker 5: very hard to walk out on you guy, especially in 1053 00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:09,920 Speaker 5: this league. You know, you you break huddles and you 1054 00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:12,640 Speaker 5: say one, two three, family on three. It's kind of 1055 00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:15,160 Speaker 5: hard to just walk away from your family, even though 1056 00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:17,279 Speaker 5: you know you might have some beef with the front 1057 00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,160 Speaker 5: office and things like that. Trust me, I've been in 1058 00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:22,720 Speaker 5: those situations before, so I know exactly how he feels. 1059 00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,440 Speaker 5: But you can't allow that, you can't allow that to effect, 1060 00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:27,680 Speaker 5: you know, the actual job. And I think he's really 1061 00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:30,440 Speaker 5: got something good going. I think if Todd Monken is 1062 00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:32,279 Speaker 5: a really good hire and he does the things that 1063 00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:34,640 Speaker 5: he's supposed to do, I don't want Jim Schwartz to 1064 00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:36,520 Speaker 5: miss out on a chance to really turn this thing 1065 00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:40,120 Speaker 5: around and do something special or something magical in Cleveland. 1066 00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:44,319 Speaker 2: Our one is in the books.

Obviously it's 1097 00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:40,640 Speaker 9: been busy here. Well, I can tell you from a 1098 00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:44,359 Speaker 9: weather standpoint, it has been there. People are saying the 1099 00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:47,960 Speaker 9: worst winner in Cleveland history. We have the longest stretch 1100 00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:50,520 Speaker 9: of days under twenty degrees, consecutive stretch of days. There's 1101 00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:55,600 Speaker 9: there are snow mountains the size of the Hamalias as 1102 00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:57,800 Speaker 9: they call it in the parlance of the climbing community. 1103 00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,960 Speaker 9: So it is yeah, so not great there. But inside 1104 00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,960 Speaker 9: these walls, there's been busyness. There's been exciting things. Todd 1105 00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:07,120 Speaker 9: Mnkin at his introductory press conference. Of course, that being 1106 00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:09,560 Speaker 9: the biggest of the news. Browns have their new head coach. 1107 00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:11,919 Speaker 9: What have you kind of thought about this whole thing 1108 00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:14,799 Speaker 9: and then the process and then the landing on Todd 1109 00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:17,680 Speaker 9: Monkin to be the nineteen ted coach in Cleveland Brown's history. 1110 00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:21,640 Speaker 10: So I watched the full press conference, and you know, 1111 00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:23,840 Speaker 10: the first thing that hit me. I haven't spent a 1112 00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:26,040 Speaker 10: lot of time around Todd, but the first thing that 1113 00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:28,240 Speaker 10: hit me is, my god, he's got a great coach. 1114 00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:29,120 Speaker 10: His voice, doesn't he? 1115 00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:31,520 Speaker 9: Oh that's a ravelly. It's phenomenal. 1116 00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:36,040 Speaker 10: Oh wow, that is incredible Sean McVay voice wise, if 1117 00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:39,279 Speaker 10: you hit the fast forward button, twenty years like it. 1118 00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:41,560 Speaker 10: I like far as the way, the way it sounds, 1119 00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:44,160 Speaker 10: So I kind of dug that. I think he needed that. 1120 00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:48,280 Speaker 10: I think it'll be obviously more fun for our media 1121 00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:50,600 Speaker 10: as much as you and I liked Kevin a ton 1122 00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:55,000 Speaker 10: of course as a guy, and when you didn't have 1123 00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:58,440 Speaker 10: the camera on, I thought I loved his personality. He 1124 00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:03,160 Speaker 10: was very protective of his players, which I totally appreciated, 1125 00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:05,320 Speaker 10: but he wouldn't give you anything, and I think Todd 1126 00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:07,560 Speaker 10: is going to give you something. I think that fans 1127 00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:10,200 Speaker 10: will like that a little bit more. But the goal 1128 00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:13,040 Speaker 10: isn't to be entertaining in a press conference. It's to 1129 00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:16,400 Speaker 10: win games, so that maybe one day we're not talking 1130 00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:20,319 Speaker 10: about the Super Bowl but playing in it. And look, 1131 00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:23,279 Speaker 10: we needed an offensive mind. Did I think we were 1132 00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:27,000 Speaker 10: going to go young at the beginning of the search. Yeah, 1133 00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:31,160 Speaker 10: when they started interviewing Todd Monk and you were like, Okay, well, 1134 00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:34,200 Speaker 10: you know, this could be interesting. They probably want a 1135 00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:37,280 Speaker 10: guy who's really bright, who has been maybe around the building, 1136 00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:40,359 Speaker 10: who kind of knows how we do things a little bit, 1137 00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:43,680 Speaker 10: has certainly been in our division the last few years. 1138 00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:46,759 Speaker 10: Maybe he'll give us a good scope on where we 1139 00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:50,239 Speaker 10: are as a franchise. But then the more and more 1140 00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:53,279 Speaker 10: you heard about it, it started to make sense. And 1141 00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:56,319 Speaker 10: I'm the feeling I'm getting from the fan base is 1142 00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:59,759 Speaker 10: when he was first named, people were probably taken back 1143 00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:01,719 Speaker 10: that they thought it was going to be one of 1144 00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:04,600 Speaker 10: the young kids. And then when Udinski you heard that 1145 00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:06,000 Speaker 10: that wasn't going to be the way it was going 1146 00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:09,680 Speaker 10: to go. Yeah, you're thinking, Okay, Sheelhouse or Schwartz, and 1147 00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:11,839 Speaker 10: then when you hear Monk and you're like, whoa, well, 1148 00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:12,920 Speaker 10: so what happened here? 1149 00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:13,680 Speaker 5: Yeah? 1150 00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:16,799 Speaker 10: And then the more you start connecting the dots and 1151 00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:20,120 Speaker 10: start thinking about it, the more sense it has made. 1152 00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:23,920 Speaker 10: And I think that things have changed since he was 1153 00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:27,200 Speaker 10: named the coach and then when he had the introductory 1154 00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:29,840 Speaker 10: press conference. I really believe that there has been almost 1155 00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:31,960 Speaker 10: a one point eighty by a lot of Brown stands 1156 00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:32,399 Speaker 10: on it. 1157 00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:37,360 Speaker 9: One hundred percent. I can go through the text messages 1158 00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:39,359 Speaker 9: I received on the day that it was announced, and 1159 00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:42,200 Speaker 9: the same people have texted me and they are juiced. 1160 00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:45,320 Speaker 9: They're like, we got a football coach. This guy's great. 1161 00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:49,280 Speaker 9: They love him. He's authentic, as you talked about, very real. 1162 00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:52,040 Speaker 9: You saw the emotion and the passion obviously what it 1163 00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:55,960 Speaker 9: meant to him. So Monkin is in. We're excited about that. 1164 00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:58,960 Speaker 9: He's been successful everywhere. He's been offensively. You know, we 1165 00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:01,200 Speaker 9: talked at length about us time with Kirby smartest time 1166 00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:03,600 Speaker 9: with John Harbaugh on those kind of last six years 1167 00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:05,279 Speaker 9: getting that doctorate, and I think one thing that really 1168 00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:07,719 Speaker 9: stood out to me was he talked about how they 1169 00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:10,120 Speaker 9: ultimately got to the same spot, reached their team, were 1170 00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:12,240 Speaker 9: able to motivate get them to perform at the highest levels, 1171 00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:14,960 Speaker 9: but they did it in completely different ways that were 1172 00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:18,480 Speaker 9: authentic to each of them. And I think, you know, Todd. 1173 00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:21,040 Speaker 9: When I talked to him, he said that that really 1174 00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:24,400 Speaker 9: showed him that he can just be himself too. And 1175 00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:26,360 Speaker 9: I think you were talking about that earlier in terms of, 1176 00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:31,240 Speaker 9: you know, from a media standpoint, but also for what's 1177 00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:35,160 Speaker 9: going on, you know, in terms of reaching this team, 1178 00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:39,080 Speaker 9: setting a culture, accountability, all of that. I think it's 1179 00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:41,760 Speaker 9: real important that he feels empowered to just be who 1180 00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:43,560 Speaker 9: he is, because I think that's the only way it 1181 00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:44,000 Speaker 9: can work. 1182 00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:48,439 Speaker 10: Absolutely, there's no question about that. I mean, I think 1183 00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:51,840 Speaker 10: that's what all all of us want from our bosses, 1184 00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:55,800 Speaker 10: whether you're a high end athlete like a Cleveland Browns player, 1185 00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:59,080 Speaker 10: or what we do, or what anybody who's listening and 1186 00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:03,080 Speaker 10: tuning into your pro does. Like sure would we love 1187 00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:06,880 Speaker 10: to hear great things about ourselves all the time. It'd 1188 00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:09,560 Speaker 10: be wonderful. But if your boss says, hey, I need 1189 00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:12,800 Speaker 10: a little bit more out of you and shows you 1190 00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:16,400 Speaker 10: how to get better, I mean, that's what you want. 1191 00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:18,880 Speaker 10: And particularly look, we've spent a lot of it. We've 1192 00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:21,200 Speaker 10: been fortunate enough to spend a lot of time in 1193 00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:25,640 Speaker 10: this industry. I haven't met one guy who doesn't want 1194 00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:28,400 Speaker 10: to get coached. And in fact, you know now I 1195 00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:31,600 Speaker 10: work with so many athletes. You know, for years on 1196 00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:34,480 Speaker 10: the baseball side and for the last twenty years on 1197 00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:37,800 Speaker 10: the NFL side. Guys come off the field and they're like, 1198 00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:41,000 Speaker 10: why don't we hear from our bosses about what they 1199 00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:45,120 Speaker 10: like about our shows and don't like And they are 1200 00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:49,960 Speaker 10: dying to hear back because it's all they know. And 1201 00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:53,760 Speaker 10: so if you do it in a productive, positive way 1202 00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:57,200 Speaker 10: while also getting your point across it, Hey, listen, you're 1203 00:58:57,280 --> 00:58:59,720 Speaker 10: not cutting it right now, and we need you to 1204 00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:02,000 Speaker 10: be better better, and here's how you can be better. 1205 00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:04,200 Speaker 10: Not just that you have to be better, but here's 1206 00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:07,680 Speaker 10: how we think you can be better. In the end, 1207 00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:13,400 Speaker 10: everybody wins. Everybody wins. Now, how do we get more wins. 1208 00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:17,880 Speaker 10: It's not just Todd munkin being authentic. It's Andrew Berry 1209 00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:20,360 Speaker 10: and his staff hitting on a second straight draft the 1210 00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:21,440 Speaker 10: way that we did last year. 1211 00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:22,080 Speaker 5: And we need to. 1212 00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:24,200 Speaker 10: We need to, and there's a lot I think there's 1213 00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:26,480 Speaker 10: a lot of pressure on Andrew and his crew to 1214 00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:31,560 Speaker 10: deliver this year in part because the areas where we 1215 00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:36,000 Speaker 10: are extremely weak right now offensive line, wide receiver are 1216 00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:38,720 Speaker 10: the areas where we haven't connected on the draft, and 1217 00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:42,640 Speaker 10: that goes hand in hand. Right, our offensive line kind 1218 00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:46,680 Speaker 10: of aged out a little bit over the last few years. 1219 00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:48,920 Speaker 10: Actually not a little bit, but a lot, and so 1220 00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:51,080 Speaker 10: we need to replace those guys. And the guys that 1221 00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:55,960 Speaker 10: we have drafted in recent years have not haven't haven't 1222 00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,800 Speaker 10: carried it. They've been given opportunities in some cases and 1223 00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:01,240 Speaker 10: they haven't gotten it done. So we're going to have 1224 01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:04,240 Speaker 10: to hit big. And the good news is that, particularly 1225 01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:07,200 Speaker 10: in the wide receiver area. I'm sure you'll dive more 1226 01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:11,240 Speaker 10: into this over the next several months, that is a deep, 1227 01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:13,840 Speaker 10: deep draft. There's guys that are going to go in 1228 01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:16,680 Speaker 10: the fifth round that are normally third rounders, right, There's 1229 01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:18,800 Speaker 10: going to be guys going in the third that might 1230 01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:22,600 Speaker 10: have been borderline first round guys in years past. So 1231 01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:24,640 Speaker 10: there's going to be tremendous death in that area. 1232 01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:27,760 Speaker 9: Yeah, well, listen, we need it. Right, as you talked 1233 01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:30,320 Speaker 9: about before we had you on, I went through the 1234 01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:33,680 Speaker 9: interior of our offensive line and what that looks like 1235 01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:36,520 Speaker 9: going forward. And you know, obviously Joel Batonio has been 1236 01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:40,080 Speaker 9: the starting left guard since twenty fourteen. Seven time Pro 1237 01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:43,720 Speaker 9: Bowler unrestricted free agent could retire. We've heard him talk 1238 01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:45,360 Speaker 9: about that. Could say yeah, I want to play another 1239 01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:47,840 Speaker 9: year with the Browns, or maybe I don't. I want 1240 01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:49,439 Speaker 9: to play somewhere else and go for a super Bowl 1241 01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:51,960 Speaker 9: team that's really ready, you know, right in twenty twenty six. 1242 01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:54,000 Speaker 9: Why Teller's a three time pro bowler. He's been the 1243 01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:56,480 Speaker 9: start at right guard since twenty nineteen. Ethan Posi's been 1244 01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:58,600 Speaker 9: the starter at center of the last four years. Tevin 1245 01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:02,040 Speaker 9: Jenkins has started forty games in his career, made some starts, 1246 01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:04,560 Speaker 9: and played a lot at right garden. At the end 1247 01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:06,840 Speaker 9: of the year, rotated with Wyatt Teller, which I think, 1248 01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:09,800 Speaker 9: you know, in retrospect, maybe not the greatest situation there 1249 01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:14,160 Speaker 9: for Wyatt Teller, but those four guys played the most 1250 01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:16,800 Speaker 9: snaps among the interior of the offensive line this year, 1251 01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:20,360 Speaker 9: all four unrestricted free agents, only Luke Whippler and Zach Zinder, 1252 01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:23,760 Speaker 9: who has yet to, you know, reveal the promise that 1253 01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:25,560 Speaker 9: we we thought he had when he was drafted in 1254 01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:29,200 Speaker 9: the third round thus far. And so, Mother Hubbard, the 1255 01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:31,480 Speaker 9: cupboard is bear right there in it. You're going to 1256 01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:32,960 Speaker 9: need to make a lot of investment. 1257 01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:38,200 Speaker 10: Yeah, we are. And so the Browns have what four 1258 01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:41,080 Speaker 10: of the top when we get to the top of 1259 01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:45,440 Speaker 10: the third round, what pick are we at. We're at 1260 01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:50,720 Speaker 10: seventy something right in my math here at thirty four, 1261 01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:54,000 Speaker 10: right around seventy. So we're going to have four of 1262 01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:58,360 Speaker 10: the top seventy and I would fully expect us to 1263 01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:03,200 Speaker 10: walk away with two starting offensive lineman through those first 1264 01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:06,520 Speaker 10: four picks. And I think at least one of those 1265 01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:07,720 Speaker 10: guys is a wide receiver. 1266 01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:14,400 Speaker 9: Yeah, if not that right away, i'd like that right away. 1267 01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:16,040 Speaker 10: And you have to be you know, we have to 1268 01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:22,080 Speaker 10: be smart, right It's the tackles aren't great this year. 1269 01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:24,400 Speaker 10: From what I'm hearing the guys I'm talking to who 1270 01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:28,520 Speaker 10: do this for a living, it's really kind of top 1271 01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:29,720 Speaker 10: heavy this year. 1272 01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:30,000 Speaker 5: Yep. 1273 01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:32,919 Speaker 10: So it wouldn't surprise me if it's six, as long 1274 01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:36,120 Speaker 10: as you know one of those two guys is is 1275 01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:39,440 Speaker 10: available early on that we end up rooting for a 1276 01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:42,120 Speaker 10: guy who either went to the University of Miami or Utah. 1277 01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:43,840 Speaker 9: I'm curious with you because you said you've talked to 1278 01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:46,440 Speaker 9: some people about it. It feels like there's a group 1279 01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:49,600 Speaker 9: of tackles or a couple tackles that people would be 1280 01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:52,200 Speaker 9: interested in at number six, and then there's a big group, 1281 01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:54,040 Speaker 9: you know, the Caden Proctor's in and some of the 1282 01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:57,320 Speaker 9: other guys, it would be there at twenty four. From 1283 01:02:57,360 --> 01:02:59,959 Speaker 9: a receiver standpoint, there's you know Tate, there are people 1284 01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:01,920 Speaker 9: like Tyson from Arizona State. There are people that like 1285 01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:04,520 Speaker 9: Lemon from USC and then it does feel like there's 1286 01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:07,880 Speaker 9: a pretty big gap between those guys and maybe the 1287 01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:10,280 Speaker 9: next group of receivers. And I think it's gonna be 1288 01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:13,240 Speaker 9: one of those interesting, you know, choice situations. Now, maybe 1289 01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:17,800 Speaker 9: the draft dictates how that goes, but it's gonna be 1290 01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:20,240 Speaker 9: an interesting dilemma. You know, it's one of those I 1291 01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:22,520 Speaker 9: don't know that it's pinay Sewel Jamar Chase. I certainly 1292 01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:25,800 Speaker 9: would love to be in that situation, But that's gonna 1293 01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:28,560 Speaker 9: be kind of a decision that's gonna have to be made. 1294 01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:31,640 Speaker 9: And will I think, really dictate how this thing flows 1295 01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:33,240 Speaker 9: out because I look at it from you know, let's 1296 01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:36,440 Speaker 9: just say wide receiver perspective. If you draft a guy 1297 01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:39,000 Speaker 9: at six that you think is a true one, all 1298 01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:41,520 Speaker 9: of a sudden, if you have that player. We'll use 1299 01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:45,320 Speaker 9: Carnel Tait as the example. Carnel Tait, You've got Jerry 1300 01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:48,400 Speaker 9: Judy now is kind of your your one bee or 1301 01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:50,560 Speaker 9: two which I'd feel good about. And then Isaiah Bond, 1302 01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:52,680 Speaker 9: who average over eighteen yards of catch. All of a sudden, 1303 01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:55,000 Speaker 9: if that's your top three, you're eleven personnel. With Todd Munkin, 1304 01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:58,520 Speaker 9: I feel a lot better about it. And so that's 1305 01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:00,520 Speaker 9: where I am. I'm a weapons, weapons webs guy. You 1306 01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:03,680 Speaker 9: know this very very well. Yeah, I understand that, but 1307 01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:06,400 Speaker 9: that's where I'm at. I want a dude at wide 1308 01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:09,760 Speaker 9: receiver and then and then we can figure out the lines, 1309 01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:12,280 Speaker 9: because the lines are so important, and I think we 1310 01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:14,800 Speaker 9: need to address it bigly both free agency and the 1311 01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:18,240 Speaker 9: draft this year. But game changers at skill position groups, 1312 01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:21,360 Speaker 9: those to me matter more. And as Todd Munkins said, 1313 01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:24,360 Speaker 9: what's his offensive philosophy, score points, and I think the 1314 01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:26,480 Speaker 9: guys that take the ball into the end zone help. 1315 01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:26,640 Speaker 5: You do that. 1316 01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:30,000 Speaker 10: Okay, let me go, let me push back at you 1317 01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:30,960 Speaker 10: for just a second. 1318 01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:31,680 Speaker 4: Please. 1319 01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:34,240 Speaker 10: I am a huge offensive line guy and I have 1320 01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:38,240 Speaker 10: always been that way ever since Joe Gibbs was winning 1321 01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:42,160 Speaker 10: with the Super Bowls with the with the Hogs and 1322 01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:47,520 Speaker 10: with three different starting quarterbacks. And I know it's a 1323 01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:50,560 Speaker 10: different position. I just mentioned quarterbacks as opposed to receivers 1324 01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:53,320 Speaker 10: and Art Monk was always there and Gary Clark was 1325 01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:56,720 Speaker 10: there for the last few so he always had really 1326 01:04:57,320 --> 01:05:01,000 Speaker 10: great receivers as well, including as I mentioned, who become 1327 01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:05,280 Speaker 10: a Hall of Famer eventually. The Seattle Seahawks, do you know, 1328 01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:07,480 Speaker 10: they have an opportunity to be the first team in 1329 01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:12,560 Speaker 10: almost twenty years to have an entire home grown offensive line, 1330 01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:16,760 Speaker 10: which is nothing short of remarkable. They've got two first 1331 01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:19,520 Speaker 10: round picks on the left side, between Charles Cross and 1332 01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:23,640 Speaker 10: Grey's Abel. Their center is an undrafted free agent who 1333 01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:27,480 Speaker 10: was actually Zabel's roommate at North Dakota State now Bradford. 1334 01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:30,560 Speaker 10: He stinks he's a guard on the other side, and 1335 01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:33,840 Speaker 10: he's a fourth rounder I believe in. I mean, they're 1336 01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:37,480 Speaker 10: trying like heck to get him out of there, but 1337 01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:41,000 Speaker 10: they did draft it. And then Abe Lucas is the 1338 01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:43,520 Speaker 10: right tackle whom they drafted I believe in the third round. 1339 01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:43,960 Speaker 5: Right. 1340 01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:47,720 Speaker 10: So, there hasn't been a Super Bowl champion since the 1341 01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:52,480 Speaker 10: six Colts to have an entirely home grown offensive line. 1342 01:05:52,920 --> 01:05:55,280 Speaker 10: That is a big, big deal here. And I'm not 1343 01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:57,680 Speaker 10: saying that all five guys have to be that way, 1344 01:05:57,720 --> 01:06:00,840 Speaker 10: because it certainly the way the free agency is taken 1345 01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:03,240 Speaker 10: over we can find one or two guys that can 1346 01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:06,439 Speaker 10: help us on the interior, probably more than anywhere else. 1347 01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:11,600 Speaker 10: But I just am big, and we don't look there's 1348 01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:13,919 Speaker 10: offensive linemen that go in the top ten that don't 1349 01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:18,600 Speaker 10: work out. Happens all time, Yes we do. But we 1350 01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:21,880 Speaker 10: also have one who's arguably the best player that we've 1351 01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:22,640 Speaker 10: had since. 1352 01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:23,720 Speaker 9: We returned. 1353 01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:28,040 Speaker 10: To play in nineteen ninety nine that was drafted number three, 1354 01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:31,800 Speaker 10: who I think would probably be great as mister June 1355 01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:33,360 Speaker 10: in our calendar, in. 1356 01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:35,200 Speaker 9: Our broadcast, Well, the hop's got to be in the calendar. 1357 01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:37,840 Speaker 9: We're moving product. He might end up having like one 1358 01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:39,520 Speaker 9: page where it's just some cows. We might have some 1359 01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:41,520 Speaker 9: cattle in one of the months. 1360 01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:46,160 Speaker 10: Yeah, he's just holding like a ribi and that's yeah. 1361 01:06:46,160 --> 01:06:49,240 Speaker 9: It's fantastic. Yeah, strategically placed. 1362 01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:53,440 Speaker 10: So that's where I sit on the whole thing. And 1363 01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:57,720 Speaker 10: I understand it, particularly if Carnell takes available at six, Like, 1364 01:06:57,800 --> 01:07:01,160 Speaker 10: can you imagine what would be like to have him 1365 01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:04,320 Speaker 10: just roll one hundred and forty miles from Columbus to Cleveland? 1366 01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:05,560 Speaker 3: Like that would be crazy? 1367 01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:07,680 Speaker 9: Yes, I can't imagine, But. 1368 01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:11,680 Speaker 10: Man, oh man, I just I think there are I 1369 01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:15,600 Speaker 10: still think there's some dudes in the twenties. JSN, who 1370 01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:18,000 Speaker 10: led the league in receiving yards. Wasn't he the twentieth 1371 01:07:18,040 --> 01:07:19,360 Speaker 10: pick by Seattle. 1372 01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:22,520 Speaker 9: Who I absolutely love and yeah to me though he's 1373 01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:25,240 Speaker 9: they've gotten And listen, Justin Jefferson was eighteen. 1374 01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:27,120 Speaker 10: That mecha. 1375 01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:31,760 Speaker 9: Mecha Boca And that's I think, you know, in retrospect 1376 01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:33,080 Speaker 9: last year, I wish there was a way that we 1377 01:07:33,080 --> 01:07:35,720 Speaker 9: were able to finagle Ted McMillan had over one thousand yards. 1378 01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:37,200 Speaker 9: It was a guy that obviously i'd like the great 1379 01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:40,400 Speaker 9: deal or Abuka. Now we didn't. But yeah, JSN was twentieth. 1380 01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:43,240 Speaker 9: Jej Jefferson was eighteenth. You can find those guys now 1381 01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:46,840 Speaker 9: the Browns, as you well know, the only first round 1382 01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:48,880 Speaker 9: receiver is the Browns have taken. And I believe I 1383 01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:51,480 Speaker 9: have this correctly since they've come back in nineteen ninety nine. 1384 01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:54,400 Speaker 10: Oh, hold on, hold on, let me thank here. Braylen 1385 01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:56,720 Speaker 10: Edwards went three in two thousand and five. 1386 01:07:57,320 --> 01:07:58,720 Speaker 9: Correct, let's see here. 1387 01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:02,240 Speaker 10: Oh, our guy Corey Holman went fifteen. 1388 01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:05,640 Speaker 9: Yep in twenty sixteen, and that that ends the list. 1389 01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:08,560 Speaker 10: Oh gosh, yeah. 1390 01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:11,400 Speaker 9: Yeah, that ends the list. I think sometimes, you know, 1391 01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:14,560 Speaker 9: for me and what's hard about it is you look 1392 01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:17,840 Speaker 9: at like, yeah, that ends the list, and that is 1393 01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:21,360 Speaker 9: you know, this is a league where those guys matter. 1394 01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:24,360 Speaker 9: Those guys matter. Now we look at the Patriots, you say, well, 1395 01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:26,439 Speaker 9: where's their first round receiver? They don't have one. They've 1396 01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:30,080 Speaker 9: got Drake May who's an excellent quarterback. Obviously. Now they've 1397 01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:33,240 Speaker 9: got some tight ends that were invested in fairly heavily, 1398 01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:36,280 Speaker 9: you know, in a Hunter Henry and Stefan Diggs. While 1399 01:08:36,280 --> 01:08:38,799 Speaker 9: a fourth round pick has been a you know, perennial 1400 01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:41,320 Speaker 9: pro bowler, so he outplayed his draft position, much like 1401 01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:43,439 Speaker 9: aman Rossaint Brown. You'd say, yeah, he's a fourth round pick, 1402 01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:46,120 Speaker 9: but that guy now is in a redraft is a 1403 01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:48,960 Speaker 9: top top ten pick. I think it's one of those 1404 01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:50,920 Speaker 9: things when you look at from not just philosophical but 1405 01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:52,360 Speaker 9: the way that the league has changed, and I think 1406 01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:55,639 Speaker 9: offensive line is incredibly important. I'd argue we've had over 1407 01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:58,879 Speaker 9: the last decade, you know, or go back to twenty fourteenth, 1408 01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:03,280 Speaker 9: so the last you know, twelve seasons, our offensive line, 1409 01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:05,639 Speaker 9: if you took our offensive line every year from twenty 1410 01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:09,599 Speaker 9: fourteen to twenty twenty five, would be or top ten 1411 01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:11,800 Speaker 9: in the league. Probably if you like, rank them every 1412 01:09:11,840 --> 01:09:14,000 Speaker 9: single year, added up all those rankings and then made 1413 01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:15,880 Speaker 9: that the you know, the average number, whatever it is. 1414 01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:19,120 Speaker 9: I think we would probably be top ten. And in 1415 01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:21,760 Speaker 9: twenty fourteen, when we had Joe Thomas, Joelatonio, Alex mac 1416 01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:24,240 Speaker 9: John Greco, Mitchell Swartz, you could make the case that 1417 01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:29,120 Speaker 9: we had the best offensive line in the NFL. But 1418 01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:31,519 Speaker 9: we didn't have We didn't have those guys, you know, 1419 01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:33,519 Speaker 9: on the outside. We didn't have those weapons. And that 1420 01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:35,280 Speaker 9: was a team that was scratching and klawn and was 1421 01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:37,800 Speaker 9: on its way to a winning record before things kind 1422 01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:38,400 Speaker 9: of fell apart. 1423 01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:39,479 Speaker 5: I know. 1424 01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:43,960 Speaker 10: But when I'm being told that wide receiver is exceptionally deep, 1425 01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:47,680 Speaker 10: I'm willing to wait to twenty four. I just I 1426 01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:50,080 Speaker 10: am willing to wait till twenty four to see if 1427 01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:55,720 Speaker 10: there's Denzel Boston out of Washington, YEP, that can get 1428 01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:56,120 Speaker 10: it done. 1429 01:09:57,520 --> 01:09:59,519 Speaker 9: You know, I've seen he's a bigger receiver, isn't he. 1430 01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:00,400 Speaker 5: Yes? 1431 01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:02,479 Speaker 9: Yeah, they much like that. 1432 01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:06,120 Speaker 10: You think more along the lines of Mike Evans than 1433 01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:06,760 Speaker 10: anything else. 1434 01:10:07,439 --> 01:10:10,760 Speaker 9: Stop it, Mike Evans, Ted McMillan, T Higgins, you give 1435 01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:11,240 Speaker 9: me any of that. 1436 01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:13,400 Speaker 10: I'm I'm in right, But I mean I think the 1437 01:10:13,439 --> 01:10:16,200 Speaker 10: point is is that it's not Burner, He's not Slot, 1438 01:10:16,280 --> 01:10:20,559 Speaker 10: he's you know, he is big and those guys work 1439 01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:24,719 Speaker 10: as well here. So sure, look out of the final 1440 01:10:24,840 --> 01:10:27,240 Speaker 10: four teams. And I don't love doing this all the time, 1441 01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:28,760 Speaker 10: but since it's going to help me prove my point, 1442 01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:30,840 Speaker 10: I might as well go here. Go out of the 1443 01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:34,360 Speaker 10: final four teams. When we're just talking starting receivers, how 1444 01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:37,200 Speaker 10: many of them were first round picks. The Rams didn't 1445 01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:39,680 Speaker 10: have anybody, right because DeVante Adams was. 1446 01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:41,479 Speaker 9: A se second round pick, but. 1447 01:10:43,439 --> 01:10:47,880 Speaker 10: Okay, jsnz a one, Rashid Shaheed I think was a 1448 01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:54,200 Speaker 10: fifth rounder. We talked about Diggs. Kayshawn Booty was a 1449 01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:57,240 Speaker 10: late guy who has really developed into something. 1450 01:10:57,160 --> 01:11:00,840 Speaker 9: Very very good there talent early round pick. 1451 01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:04,200 Speaker 10: But yes, Pop Douglas I think is a third round. 1452 01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:06,240 Speaker 10: But my point is in Denver you can go down 1453 01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:10,040 Speaker 10: the line as well. Their top guys are second round picks. 1454 01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:10,240 Speaker 4: Right. 1455 01:11:10,400 --> 01:11:11,559 Speaker 9: That's not in the England. 1456 01:11:11,720 --> 01:11:15,200 Speaker 10: Yeah, Franklin's the fourth, you know, but you're going to 1457 01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:19,160 Speaker 10: find at least littered on these teams, some number one 1458 01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:22,840 Speaker 10: picks on the offensive line, yep. And I just think 1459 01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:23,519 Speaker 10: that that's. 1460 01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:25,679 Speaker 2: Where I would say add more fun to your fandom 1461 01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:28,439 Speaker 2: with a bally Bet Sportsbook app. Download today and get 1462 01:11:28,479 --> 01:11:30,920 Speaker 2: fifty dollars in bonus bets when you place your first 1463 01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:33,599 Speaker 2: wager of ten dollars or more.

He 1488 01:13:07,880 --> 01:13:10,240 Speaker 3: just open with this, he is a damn good coach. 1489 01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:13,639 Speaker 3: And I understand, and I've been listening to the show 1490 01:13:14,040 --> 01:13:17,800 Speaker 3: and I just heard the hoff. I understand that the 1491 01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:21,240 Speaker 3: initial reaction might be, what huh. I get that. I 1492 01:13:21,280 --> 01:13:23,920 Speaker 3: totally get that. I could also point out that I 1493 01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:29,880 Speaker 3: have heard from assistant coaches from multiple teams today unsolicited 1494 01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:33,400 Speaker 3: saying how good of a coach he is to me 1495 01:13:35,360 --> 01:13:37,919 Speaker 3: I have I have heard from an AFC North assistant 1496 01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:40,280 Speaker 3: coach who said, I wish he was out of the division. 1497 01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:45,080 Speaker 3: So he is a good coach. I mean, they had 1498 01:13:45,120 --> 01:13:48,280 Speaker 3: they had Tyler Huntley and in the Bears game, and 1499 01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:52,280 Speaker 3: what was it the Packers game? They scored seventy one 1500 01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:57,000 Speaker 3: points without Lamar Jackson and with Snoop Huntley. This guy 1501 01:13:57,040 --> 01:13:59,120 Speaker 3: can coach. You guys know, Nathan, you know, I don't 1502 01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:01,840 Speaker 3: know Todd at all, but I could tell you that 1503 01:14:01,880 --> 01:14:06,160 Speaker 3: the reaction around the league is, hey, they have a 1504 01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:09,080 Speaker 3: darn good coach. Now what happens on the defensive side 1505 01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:13,920 Speaker 3: of the ball that remains to be seen. And you know, 1506 01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:17,120 Speaker 3: we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. But 1507 01:14:17,240 --> 01:14:20,439 Speaker 3: he's a coach. He's a very good coach, and I 1508 01:14:20,479 --> 01:14:21,960 Speaker 3: think that is a huge plus. 1509 01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:23,679 Speaker 7: Well, let me ask you this. Do you like when 1510 01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:25,719 Speaker 7: you ask a direct question getting a direct answer? 1511 01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:26,680 Speaker 5: Uh? 1512 01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:29,559 Speaker 3: Yeah, I've heard even like that. Yeah. 1513 01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:31,000 Speaker 7: I mean he was in here all the time in 1514 01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:35,440 Speaker 7: twenty nineteen. He's a really good dude. He's big on accountability. 1515 01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:38,439 Speaker 7: He's big on you ask a question, you get an answer. 1516 01:14:38,479 --> 01:14:39,920 Speaker 7: You might not always like it, but he's going to 1517 01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:42,840 Speaker 7: tell you the truth. I just saw this from Tory Smith. 1518 01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:45,120 Speaker 7: Might be unpopular in Baltimore, but from the moment, but 1519 01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:47,760 Speaker 7: I watched him lead meetings one day. He communicates like 1520 01:14:47,800 --> 01:14:48,280 Speaker 7: a head coach. 1521 01:14:48,320 --> 01:14:48,679 Speaker 9: He does. 1522 01:14:48,920 --> 01:14:50,439 Speaker 6: Yeah, that's what he'd like and. 1523 01:14:50,560 --> 01:14:53,400 Speaker 7: Hurried himself that way here in a really brutal situation 1524 01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:54,400 Speaker 7: in twenty nineteen. 1525 01:14:54,800 --> 01:14:57,000 Speaker 3: Right, And I'll add this as well. I was talking 1526 01:14:57,040 --> 01:14:59,799 Speaker 3: to a Ravens player today who said he loved him, 1527 01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:04,200 Speaker 3: just flat out loved him. So there's that they got 1528 01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:09,240 Speaker 3: a respected coach, and the staff means so much. The 1529 01:15:09,280 --> 01:15:13,200 Speaker 3: Hoffs just said that too. The staff means so much. 1530 01:15:13,439 --> 01:15:15,560 Speaker 3: I was in the Nate Shieldhouse corner, you guys, we 1531 01:15:15,840 --> 01:15:18,040 Speaker 3: have talked about this obviously. I got a lot of 1532 01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:20,080 Speaker 3: friends with the Rams. I worked there for fourteen years. 1533 01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:23,080 Speaker 3: I don't know Nate because he was gone already kind 1534 01:15:23,080 --> 01:15:25,000 Speaker 3: of when I got there. We overlapped one training camp 1535 01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:30,320 Speaker 3: and our pats never crossed. But they love him there. 1536 01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:33,920 Speaker 3: They were pushing for him, but they also conceded, As 1537 01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:36,080 Speaker 3: I told you guys last week, he may not be ready. 1538 01:15:36,479 --> 01:15:38,760 Speaker 3: Just like Grant Yadinski. The Jacksonville people love him, but 1539 01:15:38,760 --> 01:15:41,240 Speaker 3: they also shrug their shoulders and go, don't know if 1540 01:15:41,240 --> 01:15:44,360 Speaker 3: he's ready. You know that Todd Monkin is ready. You 1541 01:15:44,439 --> 01:15:46,240 Speaker 3: know that he could lead a room, You know that 1542 01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:49,160 Speaker 3: he can coach. Go back to that Georgia offense. Yeah, 1543 01:15:49,160 --> 01:15:51,320 Speaker 3: he had a lot of pieces he had George Pickens, 1544 01:15:51,320 --> 01:15:54,840 Speaker 3: and he had James Cook and Samir White. He had 1545 01:15:54,880 --> 01:15:56,680 Speaker 3: talent on that team. Tyson Campbell, by the way, was 1546 01:15:56,720 --> 01:15:58,240 Speaker 3: on that team on the other side of the ball. 1547 01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:02,880 Speaker 3: He's had a lot of talent, but when handed some 1548 01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:05,639 Speaker 3: of the mess the Ravens have had when Lamar Jackson 1549 01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:09,479 Speaker 3: was not at his best or maybe not playing, I 1550 01:16:09,520 --> 01:16:11,160 Speaker 3: think the results say. 1551 01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:15,560 Speaker 9: A lot, certainly, and I think that's what the experience 1552 01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:17,840 Speaker 9: he's been a coach for thirty seven years at the 1553 01:16:17,880 --> 01:16:21,040 Speaker 9: college and NFL levels. I think that that's that's a 1554 01:16:21,080 --> 01:16:23,599 Speaker 9: big part of it. And I always feel better about 1555 01:16:23,600 --> 01:16:25,400 Speaker 9: a guy who understands our division and what it takes 1556 01:16:25,439 --> 01:16:27,839 Speaker 9: to win in our divisions, and he knows that. Certainly 1557 01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:29,559 Speaker 9: that was time here in twenty nineteen, but the last 1558 01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:32,599 Speaker 9: three years being with the Baltimore Ravens and understanding their operation. 1559 01:16:32,680 --> 01:16:35,600 Speaker 9: While it will be different now with Harbaugh out, I 1560 01:16:35,640 --> 01:16:38,880 Speaker 9: think that's always a good thing. And clearly he's somebody 1561 01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:40,280 Speaker 9: that made an impression when he was here in twenty 1562 01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:43,320 Speaker 9: nineteen under what were you know, challenging circumstances to be 1563 01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:45,680 Speaker 9: fair and now is you know, slated to be the 1564 01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:46,360 Speaker 9: next head coach. 1565 01:16:47,800 --> 01:16:51,920 Speaker 3: I understand the fan perspective, and I understand that some 1566 01:16:52,040 --> 01:16:54,559 Speaker 3: fans may go hunt what they wanted, the young hot 1567 01:16:54,560 --> 01:16:57,680 Speaker 3: shot offensive mind. They tried that last time. Kevin was 1568 01:16:57,760 --> 01:16:59,679 Speaker 3: a very good head coach. In the first four years 1569 01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:01,880 Speaker 3: were very good. Obviously, then it went sideways and we 1570 01:17:01,920 --> 01:17:04,880 Speaker 3: could dissect what happened the last two years at another time. 1571 01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:06,880 Speaker 3: But clearly the team did not win enough games the 1572 01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:09,439 Speaker 3: last two years, and we know now the result. This 1573 01:17:09,520 --> 01:17:12,680 Speaker 3: is going in the other direction, which is an experience 1574 01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:14,680 Speaker 3: veteran head coach. I don't know if it's fair to 1575 01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:16,599 Speaker 3: call him a discipline aarian, but he is no nonsense. 1576 01:17:16,640 --> 01:17:18,120 Speaker 3: I'll tell you that. You guys know that, and I've 1577 01:17:18,120 --> 01:17:24,200 Speaker 3: heard that from multiple other people as well. It's I 1578 01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:27,200 Speaker 3: think people need to give it time. Give it time, 1579 01:17:27,840 --> 01:17:33,080 Speaker 3: see how it goes. Remember this as well, John Harbaugh 1580 01:17:33,240 --> 01:17:38,599 Speaker 3: wanted Todd Monkin to be the guy to develop Jackson Dart. Okay, 1581 01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:42,320 Speaker 3: the Giants were waiting on this process. They wanted to 1582 01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:44,960 Speaker 3: figure out are you coaching the Browns or are you 1583 01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:48,479 Speaker 3: coming with us? Because if he didn't go to Bria, 1584 01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:52,280 Speaker 3: he was going to East Rutherford to work with Jackson 1585 01:17:52,360 --> 01:17:54,680 Speaker 3: Dart because the big selling point of the Giants. Right, 1586 01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:57,840 Speaker 3: we're all told, oh, it's Jackson Dart. They got their quarterback. 1587 01:17:57,960 --> 01:18:01,240 Speaker 3: That's why you want that job. That's why John Harbad 1588 01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:04,519 Speaker 3: chose the Giants. Well, he chose Todd Bunkin. He was 1589 01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:08,200 Speaker 3: going to choose Todd Bunkin to be the guy to 1590 01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:10,479 Speaker 3: develop Jackson Dart. That should mean something. 1591 01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:15,240 Speaker 7: Yeah, and the other thing, I mean just from a 1592 01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:19,080 Speaker 7: imprints on an organization standpoint, and you think about the 1593 01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:22,640 Speaker 7: a pretty big reshuffle we need on offense. He is 1594 01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:25,400 Speaker 7: his fingerprints are going to be all over this Andrew, Yeah, 1595 01:18:25,600 --> 01:18:27,920 Speaker 7: all over it. Every position, I mean, offensive line has 1596 01:18:27,920 --> 01:18:30,040 Speaker 7: to be remade, Weapons need to be remade. Who knows 1597 01:18:30,040 --> 01:18:32,439 Speaker 7: what happens at quarterback, Like, there's a lot that has 1598 01:18:32,479 --> 01:18:33,320 Speaker 7: to be considered here. 1599 01:18:33,680 --> 01:18:37,040 Speaker 3: There is a makeover on the offensive line. You need 1600 01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:39,920 Speaker 3: to add skilled position guys clearly love what you added 1601 01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:42,559 Speaker 3: last year. Love and the Quinn Schewn, the Herald fan 1602 01:18:42,640 --> 01:18:44,800 Speaker 3: and peace. Isaiah Bond. I think we've seen it. There 1603 01:18:44,800 --> 01:18:47,080 Speaker 3: have been glimpses where you know it is there. You 1604 01:18:47,240 --> 01:18:48,760 Speaker 3: just need to develop it. You got to get a 1605 01:18:48,800 --> 01:18:51,439 Speaker 3: guy to get those guys the football consistently. Can't it 1606 01:18:51,439 --> 01:18:54,200 Speaker 3: be shador You you would have to think that the 1607 01:18:54,200 --> 01:18:58,759 Speaker 3: Shador conversation was a big part of the multiple interviews 1608 01:18:58,760 --> 01:19:01,759 Speaker 3: that Todd Monkin had to get this job. Andrew Berry's 1609 01:19:01,800 --> 01:19:03,599 Speaker 3: left the door open that your door could be the guy. 1610 01:19:04,040 --> 01:19:06,240 Speaker 3: But they have to do their due diligence and figure 1611 01:19:06,280 --> 01:19:08,040 Speaker 3: out what else is out there. This is not for 1612 01:19:08,120 --> 01:19:10,200 Speaker 3: fans who are saying, hey, let's go draft a quarterback. 1613 01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:12,559 Speaker 3: There is no quarterback at six. There is not going 1614 01:19:12,600 --> 01:19:14,559 Speaker 3: to be a quarterback in all likelihood at twenty four. 1615 01:19:15,280 --> 01:19:17,599 Speaker 3: There's a reason Aaron Rodgers makeup back to the Steelers 1616 01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:20,559 Speaker 3: because there's no obvious quarterback answer for them. Three picks 1617 01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:22,880 Speaker 3: in front of us at twenty one. So this might 1618 01:19:22,920 --> 01:19:27,280 Speaker 3: be a one quarterback draft at least on Thursday night. 1619 01:19:27,680 --> 01:19:30,640 Speaker 3: I mean fancy to get ready for that. There is 1620 01:19:30,840 --> 01:19:33,280 Speaker 3: no obvious answer other than Mendoza. 1621 01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:36,400 Speaker 9: Right, and that sets up for the Brownsville to get 1622 01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:38,800 Speaker 9: I think a very good wide receiver at pick six. 1623 01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:40,560 Speaker 9: Should they be so inclined. 1624 01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:42,080 Speaker 3: And more offensive linement at picks six? 1625 01:19:42,800 --> 01:19:45,599 Speaker 9: I want weapons? Oh I heard no offensive limit? Yeah, 1626 01:19:45,640 --> 01:19:47,760 Speaker 9: you know, you know we were talking earlier as well 1627 01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:49,360 Speaker 9: though about Todd. I think that you know when you 1628 01:19:49,360 --> 01:19:52,120 Speaker 9: come in and you take this job, turning sixty first 1629 01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:54,240 Speaker 9: time being a head coach, have been very successful on offense. 1630 01:19:54,320 --> 01:19:56,200 Speaker 9: I think he's going to have a lot of input 1631 01:19:56,600 --> 01:19:59,479 Speaker 9: in the personnel situation, and I think we're going to 1632 01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:02,800 Speaker 9: really see his influence in this draft. 1633 01:20:02,479 --> 01:20:05,280 Speaker 3: Don't you You would have to think so. I mean, 1634 01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:07,000 Speaker 3: you always want the head coach to have a certain 1635 01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:09,040 Speaker 3: level of influence. You have to tell the front office 1636 01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:12,400 Speaker 3: in any functioning organization, here are the players I want. 1637 01:20:12,439 --> 01:20:13,880 Speaker 3: Here are the players that I think fit are a 1638 01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:19,080 Speaker 3: system the best, absolutely, yeah, without a doubt. 1639 01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:21,560 Speaker 7: And you've been around these things a long time, I 1640 01:20:21,760 --> 01:20:24,639 Speaker 7: would imagine, especially as you've waited as long as Todd has, 1641 01:20:24,680 --> 01:20:27,960 Speaker 7: that he has a a lock stock list of I 1642 01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:30,479 Speaker 7: want this. These are my five coordinators, These are my 1643 01:20:30,520 --> 01:20:32,400 Speaker 7: five We know who the offensive line coach is gonna 1644 01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:35,000 Speaker 7: be with hop coming back, but this, this is my 1645 01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:37,479 Speaker 7: the guys. These are my five receiver guys. Like he's 1646 01:20:37,520 --> 01:20:39,200 Speaker 7: got all of that stuff in spades. He's been in 1647 01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:41,439 Speaker 7: the league forever, like he's he's got those lists, and 1648 01:20:41,720 --> 01:20:44,080 Speaker 7: I would imagine from that perspective, this will come together 1649 01:20:44,080 --> 01:20:44,639 Speaker 7: pretty quickly. 1650 01:20:44,720 --> 01:20:45,880 Speaker 6: On the offensive side, Don't you. 1651 01:20:45,880 --> 01:20:48,639 Speaker 3: Think you would have to think so he's he's always 1652 01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:51,759 Speaker 3: had a physical run game. He always uses his tight ends. Well, 1653 01:20:53,040 --> 01:20:56,000 Speaker 3: he's always been multiple in his personnel. He's not locked 1654 01:20:56,040 --> 01:20:59,640 Speaker 3: into one thing. He did. He did really like to 1655 01:20:59,720 --> 01:21:02,840 Speaker 3: use Lamar's legs. Obviously, everyone has who's called plays for 1656 01:21:02,920 --> 01:21:05,280 Speaker 3: Lamar since he broke in as a thirty second overall 1657 01:21:05,320 --> 01:21:09,280 Speaker 3: pick in twenty eighteen. I mean, I think that was 1658 01:21:09,600 --> 01:21:11,840 Speaker 3: maybe part of the issue down the stretch there as well. 1659 01:21:11,880 --> 01:21:12,960 Speaker 3: I mean, there are a lot of people that would 1660 01:21:12,960 --> 01:21:14,760 Speaker 3: say that Lamar didn't really want to run much the 1661 01:21:14,840 --> 01:21:17,080 Speaker 3: last two years one of the reasons the whole thing 1662 01:21:17,120 --> 01:21:19,160 Speaker 3: went sideways. But you have Derek Henry as well. You 1663 01:21:19,200 --> 01:21:21,759 Speaker 3: don't need to keep your quarterback running the football constantly 1664 01:21:21,800 --> 01:21:24,479 Speaker 3: when you have a Hall of Fame running back back there. 1665 01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:28,479 Speaker 3: But he is good at taking what you have and 1666 01:21:28,560 --> 01:21:31,240 Speaker 3: making chicken salad, let's put it that way. 1667 01:21:33,439 --> 01:21:37,920 Speaker 9: He's been Yes, indeed, indeed, and listen, this is a 1668 01:21:37,960 --> 01:21:39,800 Speaker 9: team where we talked about where we need to be 1669 01:21:39,880 --> 01:21:42,960 Speaker 9: significantly better on offense. You had mentioned at the beginning 1670 01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:44,479 Speaker 9: to talk about a good football coach. I know you 1671 01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:46,680 Speaker 9: are very well connected around this league. You've heard from 1672 01:21:46,680 --> 01:21:49,519 Speaker 9: a lot of people today at various levels coaches in 1673 01:21:50,040 --> 01:21:53,040 Speaker 9: about Todd, and I think that the perception in the 1674 01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:55,160 Speaker 9: league of this move for the Browns is maybe a 1675 01:21:55,160 --> 01:21:58,240 Speaker 9: little bit different than the perception maybe outside and a round. 1676 01:21:58,240 --> 01:21:58,960 Speaker 9: Would you agree with. 1677 01:21:58,880 --> 01:22:02,880 Speaker 3: That, absolutely, Yes, without a doubt. You said it quite well. Look, 1678 01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:05,800 Speaker 3: there are people that might be scratching their head, going, hey, 1679 01:22:05,840 --> 01:22:09,240 Speaker 3: I would still go with the young guy. But in 1680 01:22:09,360 --> 01:22:14,040 Speaker 3: terms of the coach they're getting. No, everybody thinks Todd 1681 01:22:14,120 --> 01:22:17,559 Speaker 3: Monkin is a darn good head coach and that this 1682 01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:21,479 Speaker 3: is a good hire. Nate Schilhouse and Great Yudinsky are 1683 01:22:21,479 --> 01:22:23,519 Speaker 3: not head coaches in this cycle, at least I don't 1684 01:22:23,520 --> 01:22:25,920 Speaker 3: think they are going to be. It does not appear 1685 01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:29,200 Speaker 3: to be that way. Yudinsky has already gotten his little 1686 01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:31,559 Speaker 3: promotion or whatever it is. He's staying at Jacksonville's probably 1687 01:22:31,560 --> 01:22:34,120 Speaker 3: head coach next year. Nate Schillhouse, I don't know what's 1688 01:22:34,160 --> 01:22:36,639 Speaker 3: gonna shake out in terms of promotion or a title 1689 01:22:36,720 --> 01:22:39,960 Speaker 3: change with the Rams, but he's coming back to the Rams. 1690 01:22:40,360 --> 01:22:42,720 Speaker 3: I think this situation would be different. Look if if 1691 01:22:42,800 --> 01:22:45,200 Speaker 3: Yudinsky was named head coach of the Bills and Schillhouse 1692 01:22:45,280 --> 01:22:47,920 Speaker 3: was named head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, and then 1693 01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:52,920 Speaker 3: there'd be the constant comparison obviously between Monkin and those guys. 1694 01:22:52,920 --> 01:22:56,679 Speaker 3: That's not gonna happen this year. So if those guys 1695 01:22:56,760 --> 01:22:59,720 Speaker 3: were ready, there are ten openings, those guys would have 1696 01:22:59,720 --> 01:23:03,479 Speaker 3: gotten job if they were ready. Now, I think Nate, 1697 01:23:04,240 --> 01:23:05,920 Speaker 3: he's the one I'm closest to, is going to be 1698 01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:07,559 Speaker 3: a head coach one day, and I think he's probably 1699 01:23:07,560 --> 01:23:09,240 Speaker 3: gonna be a good head coach one day. But that 1700 01:23:09,360 --> 01:23:12,800 Speaker 3: day is today. The Browns went long down the road 1701 01:23:12,840 --> 01:23:15,080 Speaker 3: with him. That was an eight hour interview on Monday, 1702 01:23:15,080 --> 01:23:19,200 Speaker 3: from what I understand, and they chose to go in this. 1703 01:23:19,160 --> 01:23:21,720 Speaker 9: Direction the other. 1704 01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:25,400 Speaker 7: Really, the story in the NFL today is Bill Belichick 1705 01:23:26,200 --> 01:23:29,080 Speaker 7: missing the Hall of Fame. You worked for the league 1706 01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:31,400 Speaker 7: obviously at the network, and have been around the NFL 1707 01:23:31,400 --> 01:23:32,559 Speaker 7: for a very very long time. 1708 01:23:33,560 --> 01:23:34,519 Speaker 6: What do you make of this? 1709 01:23:35,880 --> 01:23:40,879 Speaker 3: I put it this so if you take Belichick's career 1710 01:23:41,479 --> 01:23:44,960 Speaker 3: post scandal, and I'm going to include deflate Gate, although 1711 01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:48,440 Speaker 3: people dismiss it, but from the day that the punishment 1712 01:23:48,560 --> 01:23:50,760 Speaker 3: was handed out for deflake Gate and Brady missed the 1713 01:23:50,840 --> 01:23:55,200 Speaker 3: first four games of the subsequent season, Bill Belichick has 1714 01:23:55,280 --> 01:23:59,479 Speaker 3: one hundred career victories, three trips to the Super Bowl, 1715 01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:05,719 Speaker 3: two Lombardi Trophies. That career quote unquote post scandal as 1716 01:24:05,760 --> 01:24:09,400 Speaker 3: it is Merits consider Merits being in the Hall of Fame. 1717 01:24:09,920 --> 01:24:12,400 Speaker 3: If you just take him from that day forward, he 1718 01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:15,080 Speaker 3: is a Hall of Famer and maybe even first bout 1719 01:24:15,160 --> 01:24:17,599 Speaker 3: more career wins from that day forward than Bill Walsh 1720 01:24:17,640 --> 01:24:19,200 Speaker 3: in his career, if you want to put it into 1721 01:24:19,240 --> 01:24:22,439 Speaker 3: that context, Bill Walsh is well, maybe not with the postseason. 1722 01:24:22,479 --> 01:24:24,240 Speaker 3: Bill's probably a couple of past him with it when 1723 01:24:24,280 --> 01:24:27,200 Speaker 3: you consider the postseason wins as well. But it's Bill 1724 01:24:27,240 --> 01:24:31,639 Speaker 3: Walsh's career post scandal, that's that's a Hall of Famer. 1725 01:24:31,840 --> 01:24:35,040 Speaker 3: I also understand when people go he cheated. He got 1726 01:24:35,040 --> 01:24:40,080 Speaker 3: caught cheating twice period. He did. But he's a Hall 1727 01:24:40,120 --> 01:24:43,000 Speaker 3: of Famer and he should be in on his first ballot. 1728 01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:46,320 Speaker 9: I thik gro I would say, if you ain't cheating, 1729 01:24:46,320 --> 01:24:48,839 Speaker 9: you ain't try it. So wou Nascar. 1730 01:24:49,960 --> 01:24:51,880 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's just one of those things. 1731 01:24:51,880 --> 01:24:53,840 Speaker 7: I hate that it's going to kind of be a 1732 01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:56,439 Speaker 7: cloud over the process this year, buddy, Like when that 1733 01:24:56,479 --> 01:24:59,120 Speaker 7: class goes in, of course, it is enshrinement this summer, 1734 01:24:59,160 --> 01:25:01,080 Speaker 7: like it's all anyone's gonna be asked, And I hate 1735 01:25:01,120 --> 01:25:04,439 Speaker 7: that for those guys who go in because that shouldn't 1736 01:25:04,479 --> 01:25:06,120 Speaker 7: be something that they have to deal with. 1737 01:25:06,160 --> 01:25:06,759 Speaker 9: But they're gonna. 1738 01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:10,559 Speaker 3: We're also denied the glorious awkwardness of he and Craft 1739 01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:11,760 Speaker 3: going in the same year. 1740 01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:15,840 Speaker 9: Yes, yes, within the there would be some awkwardness, but 1741 01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:17,679 Speaker 9: at the same time, like, you can't tell the story 1742 01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:19,240 Speaker 9: of the NFL without the two of them, and so 1743 01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:22,479 Speaker 9: I think that that is certainly fine. I think anybody 1744 01:25:22,479 --> 01:25:24,479 Speaker 9: who voted against them should be out. That's my opinion. 1745 01:25:24,560 --> 01:25:26,639 Speaker 9: Take them out, give some new people votes. As bo 1746 01:25:26,800 --> 01:25:29,880 Speaker 9: and Z like to say, so much more to come, 1747 01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:33,719 Speaker 9: and there is, as you'll hear from the head coach himself, 1748 01:25:33,800 --> 01:25:37,559 Speaker 9: Brown's head coach, Todd Monkin.

So what do these next few days, weeks, 1785 01:27:54,840 --> 01:27:56,600 Speaker 12: and months look like for you as you take the 1786 01:27:56,640 --> 01:27:58,120 Speaker 12: reins over for the Cleveland Browns. 1787 01:27:58,320 --> 01:28:02,280 Speaker 13: Starting off, we've got a fish, you know, hiring an 1788 01:28:02,280 --> 01:28:04,720 Speaker 13: elite staff and then connecting with the players. I mean, 1789 01:28:04,720 --> 01:28:06,840 Speaker 13: that's really what it comes down to, is connecting with 1790 01:28:06,880 --> 01:28:10,439 Speaker 13: those guys, but again putting together an elite staff. 1791 01:28:10,640 --> 01:28:13,519 Speaker 12: I asked you in your introductory press conference about your 1792 01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:15,840 Speaker 12: philosophy on player development, and one of the things that 1793 01:28:15,880 --> 01:28:18,360 Speaker 12: you have said before is just finding that elite trait 1794 01:28:18,680 --> 01:28:20,640 Speaker 12: in a player. We talk so much about what this 1795 01:28:20,720 --> 01:28:22,880 Speaker 12: year looks like for shad Or Sanders. So when you 1796 01:28:22,920 --> 01:28:25,720 Speaker 12: see what he's done from his first year in the 1797 01:28:25,840 --> 01:28:29,160 Speaker 12: NFL into this next season, what stands out to you 1798 01:28:29,280 --> 01:28:32,160 Speaker 12: is elite about him that you hope to maybe pull 1799 01:28:32,200 --> 01:28:33,560 Speaker 12: out in his development. 1800 01:28:33,840 --> 01:28:35,880 Speaker 13: I think you can see the playmaking ability. You can 1801 01:28:35,920 --> 01:28:39,120 Speaker 13: see him as a playmaker. He has a unique way 1802 01:28:39,120 --> 01:28:41,719 Speaker 13: of moving around the pocket and finding receivers down the field. 1803 01:28:42,160 --> 01:28:46,240 Speaker 13: I love that about him. Hard to really drill down 1804 01:28:46,280 --> 01:28:47,479 Speaker 13: into some of the other things need to work on 1805 01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:48,880 Speaker 13: until we really get it back here. 1806 01:28:49,080 --> 01:28:51,160 Speaker 12: For you, You've got a lot of coaching experience, but 1807 01:28:51,200 --> 01:28:53,880 Speaker 12: this is your first NFL head coaching opportunity. Why did 1808 01:28:53,880 --> 01:28:56,320 Speaker 12: it feel like this was the time now? And what 1809 01:28:56,360 --> 01:28:58,559 Speaker 12: are you looking forward to with this opportunity now? 1810 01:28:58,880 --> 01:29:00,600 Speaker 13: I think God puts you in the place at the 1811 01:29:00,680 --> 01:29:03,200 Speaker 13: right time. I really believe that I've had other opportunities 1812 01:29:03,720 --> 01:29:07,439 Speaker 13: just didn't come to Fruition. Loved my time here. I 1813 01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:10,799 Speaker 13: think the haslums and the fan base are just craving 1814 01:29:10,840 --> 01:29:14,280 Speaker 13: a consistent winner, and I've been a little bit in that. 1815 01:29:14,920 --> 01:29:16,840 Speaker 13: I've been in that situation before. Southern miss and I 1816 01:29:16,840 --> 01:29:18,280 Speaker 13: can't wait to get started. 1817 01:29:18,200 --> 01:29:21,559 Speaker 12: You said, craving that consistent winner. It's obviously a little 1818 01:29:21,560 --> 01:29:24,960 Speaker 12: early to create expectations for this team, but you obviously 1819 01:29:24,960 --> 01:29:27,439 Speaker 12: had to have pitched something, your vision for what the 1820 01:29:27,479 --> 01:29:29,320 Speaker 12: Cleveland Browns could be in twenty twenty six. 1821 01:29:29,360 --> 01:29:30,280 Speaker 3: So what is that vision? 1822 01:29:30,320 --> 01:29:32,920 Speaker 12: What do you anticipate the Cleveland Browns will look like 1823 01:29:33,040 --> 01:29:34,639 Speaker 12: under you in your first year? 1824 01:29:34,640 --> 01:29:35,519 Speaker 3: And then moving forward? 1825 01:29:35,720 --> 01:29:38,360 Speaker 13: Well, I think, first off, when you talk about what 1826 01:29:38,439 --> 01:29:40,680 Speaker 13: you want the tape to look like, I mean it 1827 01:29:40,720 --> 01:29:45,439 Speaker 13: starts with effort, physicality, and execution that pops off the tape. 1828 01:29:45,680 --> 01:29:46,880 Speaker 9: And that's what you want. 1829 01:29:46,800 --> 01:29:48,000 Speaker 6: The team to look like. 1830 01:29:48,040 --> 01:29:49,880 Speaker 13: And if you get that, if you get that effort, 1831 01:29:49,880 --> 01:29:53,040 Speaker 13: physicality and execution that pops off the tape, everything else 1832 01:29:53,040 --> 01:29:53,880 Speaker 13: takes care of itself. 1833 01:29:53,960 --> 01:29:54,240 Speaker 3: All right. 1834 01:29:54,280 --> 01:29:56,320 Speaker 12: Last one for you.
