1
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: Bye week is officially over and we are back on

2
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: the best podcast available, and we're getting you ready for

3
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: Browns in New England. The Patriots, the undefeated Patriots, the

4
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: Patriots that are number one and just about every category

5
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,319
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. A slight undertaking as we

6
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: get ready for Sunday one that I think, guys, though,

7
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: this team is perfect in the fact that they've had

8
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: two weeks to get ready for this football team. They've

9
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: been able to watch a lot of tape, they were

10
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: able to watch the Monday night game, and I think

11
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: this is this is a team that is primed to

12
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: make a little run, as we all hoped they would

13
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: once we got through the tough part of the schedule.

14
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: On Jason Gibbs, he's Andrew Gribble to the left of me.

15
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: Shook is on the right of me today and we

16
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: are getting ready for Browns and Patriots. Gentlemen, I hope

17
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: by a week was good to you both. It was nice, Yeah,

18
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: very good. This is uh on paper, it is a

19
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: daunting task Gribbled. But I would also say the Patriots

20
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: have they played anybody yet? I mean that they played

21
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: Buffalo and they got Pittsburgh in Week one, they got

22
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh in Week one with big Ben and that was

23
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: a dominant performance. And I think had Big Ben stayed healthy,

24
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: I think we'd still be talking about the Steelers really

25
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: missing Antonio Brown. But that's a different discussion. They've also

26
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: they've this was a stat I just pulled up from

27
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 1: for for an article I just wrote. They've already faced

28
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: three other members of the two thousand eighteen draft class.

29
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: Mayfield will be the fourth. They'll face Lamar Lamar Jackson

30
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: next week, so they're gonna get all five of them.

31
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: They've also tossed in a Luke falk in there at

32
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. They faced a lot of young quarterbacks, but

33
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: those particular quarterbacks in the two draft class have been

34
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: awful against them. It's something about the completing far less

35
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: than their passes six yards total in three games with

36
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: eight interceptions. Josh Rosen had one of them. Donald had

37
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: four of them, Josh Allen at three. I mean, they

38
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: have just brutalized young quarterbacks, uh, taking advantage of them

39
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: really in every possible way. Uh. And it was funny

40
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: because we I think we all talked about this before

41
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: and going into that Monday night game, I think we

42
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: all were rooting for the Patriots because you didn't want

43
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: to get them angry or like woken up by it

44
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: by the Jets loss. But then the way they played

45
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: that game, you're just like, oh my gosh, like just

46
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: a complete domination from start to finish, and they had

47
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: to pull out loopholes to run the clock down because

48
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: it was such a dominant performance. I mean it was,

49
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: it was. It's thorough of a beat down as you'll

50
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 1: see in the NFL. It looks like a college game.

51
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: And the Patriots have played that way defensively all season.

52
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: They it's like they're playing their non con games every

53
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: week and you can only play who's on your schedule.

54
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: They've taken full advantage of that opportunity, and they are

55
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: a very very good football team, especially on the defensive

56
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: side of the football. They're good football team. When you

57
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: run down the schedule and you look at you know,

58
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: you don't look at the team, but you look just

59
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,839
Speaker 1: look at the score, the final score of every game,

60
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: and you're just like, oh my goodness, thirty three to three,

61
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: forty three to nothing, thirty to fourteen, the only outliers

62
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: sixteen to ten, thirty three to seven, thirty five to

63
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: fourteen thirty three to nothing. And if you watch that

64
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: Monday night game, like Gribble just mentioned, who I mean,

65
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: for any football team or any football fan, you sit

66
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: back and go, oh, my team's gotta face that team

67
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: this week. But there are a couple of factors, um

68
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: that I think you know help this Browns team won.

69
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: The Patriots are coming on a little bit of a

70
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: short week here, uh, six days instead of seven, so

71
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: it's not super short, but it is a little bit shorter.

72
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: We know how that can affect your schedule and how

73
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: everything lays out. We've experienced it twice already this year here. Uh.

74
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: And also, this is a team that seems to play

75
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: better when nobody expects them to win. They played, but

76
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: they played a lot better on Sunday Night against the

77
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: Rams when nobody really expected them to win or we're

78
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: unsure if they could really have a fighter's chance with

79
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: all the injuries they were dealing with then. And then

80
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: they played extremely well against Baltimore, a team that many

81
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: people thought would run all over the Browns. So you know,

82
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: this is a team that likes to hear the naysingers.

83
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: There are a lot of guys on this team who

84
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: get motivated by hearing that nobody thinks they're gonna win

85
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: and thinks that they're trash. And from what we've heard

86
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,559
Speaker 1: so far, a lot of people in the Boston area

87
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: are sending that message. So and they have the backing

88
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: of a team that is seven and oh that is

89
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: clearly the best team in football right now, statistically and otherwise.

90
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: But they're gonna face a team that you know, thrives

91
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: off of such adversity. So we'll see how they handle

92
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: it this week. I think the for Browns fans when

93
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: you watch this Patriots team, the thing that maybe frustrates

94
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: you a little bit. Three members of that defense that's

95
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: really good all former Browns on Brown's teams that didn't

96
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: win football. Two of them were on the oh and

97
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: sixteen team. Uh, you know we're all through all three, right.

98
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,679
Speaker 1: Shelton was too, Yeah, So Datie Shelton, mccordy, and Jamie Collins.

99
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: I know the three. I mean Jamie Collins is playing

100
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: at a Pro Bowl at an all pro level. I

101
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: mean he's he's all over the field. He's forced two fumbles,

102
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: three interceptions, a touchdown. The guy has been a maniac.

103
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: He's making like no money for the Patriots. He went

104
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: back there. I'm not saying he wasn't a bad player

105
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: for the Browns, he just wasn't this kind of player

106
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: they they the Patriots. He fits in that system as

107
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: well as any player on that entire defense, and he's

108
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: one of the main reasons why this defense has been

109
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: so good. But it's one it's something that's really goes

110
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: back to last year when they completely dominated the Rams

111
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. This defense got better and better

112
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: as last year went on, and they really didn't have

113
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: a ton of turnover And they've got great players at

114
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: each level and smart players that Belichick just knows how

115
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: to plug in and get the most out of them. Yeah.

116
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: I think that's the biggest thing, the whole plug and play.

117
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: You know, Freddie was asked about that today. You know,

118
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: here are guys that maybe didn't play to their total

119
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: potential when they were here, but immediately put into that system,

120
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,679
Speaker 1: they look like, as you said, pro Bowl players. He's

121
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: it's not it's not telling them that that they weren't

122
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: good enough, but sometimes it's all about the fit. Yeah.

123
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,679
Speaker 1: He takes a lot of teams outcasts and and guys

124
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: that didn't pan out and just figures out roles to them.

125
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: It's like Danny Shelton is not a first round defensive

126
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: tackle on the Patriots. He's just got a guy that

127
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: fills a role and helps them be tough up the

128
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: middle of their defense. Jamie Collins is not this big

129
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: marquee signing guy. He's a He's a bargain veteran that

130
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: you're getting the most out of him. Jason mccordy was

131
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: a guy that we thought was at the end of

132
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: his career when he was here, and he's found the

133
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 1: fountain of youth alongside of his brother, and I think

134
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: playing with his brother elevates his game to another level.

135
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: Playing for a winner, uh was something he hadn't done

136
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: at any point in his career until he got to

137
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: New England. So they just find ways to to get

138
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: the most out of players. And that's why when the

139
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: Patriots have these swings and misses on eyes like an

140
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, uh, you go back with the Chad Johnson

141
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,799
Speaker 1: guys like that, they get the benefit of the doubt

142
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 1: because of all these success stories that they have on

143
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: the roster, and more importantly, not a whole lot of

144
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: teams scrambling to pick those up because if it doesn't

145
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: work in New England, it's probably not going to work somewhere.

146
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: We've actually seen New England service the final stop for

147
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: a multitude of players. I believe Chatta Jo Sinko was

148
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: one of them. Brandon you just usually the receiver position.

149
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: Brandon Lloyd was another one. Um. Another guy who's still

150
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: in the league but was a former Brown's defender who

151
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: didn't hack it in New England was Barkivious Mingo. But

152
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: he would he fit the mold of the profile if

153
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: somebody who are former first round pick. It was a

154
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: specifically that draft class where they were taking flyers on

155
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: a ton of those first round picks. Jonathan Cooper, the

156
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: guard was another one, uh where you're like, oh, former

157
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: first round pick, very athlete, didn't really hack it as

158
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: as an impact player, he'll probably go find a perfect

159
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: place in England, because of course he does. Uh. So

160
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: it's not it's not full proof, but the success rate

161
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: over time has allowed them, like you said, to have

162
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: the swing and mrs to take chances on guys that

163
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: might not fit because overall, if you're gonna try and

164
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: add ten guys and six of them succeed you're still,

165
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: you know, considered to be successful. We know how good

166
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: New England is. We'll hear about it. We'll talk about

167
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: it a little bit more. I'm sure as this podcast continues,

168
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: we'll hear about it all week from people in New

169
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: England and from people here in our own backyard. But Gribbs,

170
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: I gotta think it was nice and well needed for

171
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: this team maybe to hit the reset button over the

172
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: last two weeks. Yeah, And I think, first off, when

173
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: you just talk about it from a health front, you

174
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: know now you're getting back Greedy Williams and Denzel A. Ward.

175
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: There are full participants in Wednesday's practice. All indications are

176
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: they're good to go. Whether or not they just get

177
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: plugged back into the starting lineup remains to be seen.

178
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 1: But I would venture to guess at least one of

179
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: those guys will be starting, uh Sunday in New England.

180
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: And you lean toward obviously Denzel Ward, considering he's a

181
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl player. Uh So you get him back, you

182
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: get Baker Mayfield back at full strength. Who had the

183
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: Browns had a game last week, he might not have

184
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: been a full strength He might have had to go

185
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: through practice not feeling all that great and it might

186
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 1: have lingered with him. I think we all look back

187
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: at last year when we think Baker was maybe nursing

188
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: that ankle injury a little bit after that Chargers game,

189
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: UH didn't play all that great. The next couple of weeks,

190
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 1: UH came back, rested up, got finally got better, and

191
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: then started playing better than the second half of the season.

192
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: So the when when you hear Baker and some other

193
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: offensive players talk about that Seahawks game, they're saying some

194
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: of the same things that they said after the Chiefs

195
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: game last year, where it's like, we didn't win, we

196
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: didn't really uh execute the entire game, but we figured

197
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: out some things that are working and there's some there's

198
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 1: some stuff that you can maybe build off of, which

199
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: is not something you could have said after the forty

200
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: Niners game, and really offensively, not really something you could

201
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: have said after the Rams game. So that that's something

202
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 1: where you can get optimistic about. And and again defensively,

203
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: you're as healthy as you're gonna get. You're not getting

204
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: Quirksy back, So this is as healthy as you're gonna be.

205
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: You need to marry a hopefully the Maris Randall Day today,

206
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: didn't practice on Wednesday, and hopefully he practices at least

207
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: Thursday or Friday and has a chance to play on Sunday.

208
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: But this is the healthiest team has been, and you know,

209
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: I think it's one of those situations where there's also

210
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: maybe you're not taking anybody lightly, especially after what happened

211
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: in the Tennessee game, but you have played the gauntlet

212
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: of your schedule right now, and then yeah, yeah, it'll

213
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: be capped by this weekend. But it's one of those where, Okay,

214
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: we're fully healthy going into this our toughest game of

215
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: the year, and after that, there's a really good chance

216
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna get a lot easier. I mean, you hope,

217
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: but you also hope that they do find some things

218
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: that that are working. Like you said, you know that

219
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: in the Chief's game last year, in the Shaks game,

220
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: perhaps this year, you know there's a there's a potential

221
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: for that, and you're gonna run into an immediate test

222
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: because you're never gonna be able to figure out whether

223
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: this is gonna work against any opponent better than you're

224
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: gonna find out against these Patriots in this defense that

225
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: has been unbelievable so far. So you know, you you

226
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: hope that you can enter into this game and maybe

227
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: surprising people, not saying you come away with a win,

228
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: but you continue to find some things that are working,

229
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: maybe start to really lay a little bit of a

230
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: foundation or a little bit of a path that you

231
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: can start to follow forward and really get some momentum

232
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: going downhill, because the second half of the season, you know,

233
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: even if even if you were to approach the next

234
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: week at two and five, let's say, you know, you

235
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: come away with a close loss, you keep building those

236
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: things together in the second half of the season. If

237
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: you go on a run, you can still salvage your

238
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: record and still make a run at the playoffs, but

239
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: you need to start, you know, building toward that because

240
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: it's it's starting to get a little bit late. And

241
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: then if you come away with a win and you

242
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: surprise the world, then you're even in better shape. So

243
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: you definitely need to see some indication that they're putting

244
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: that together for sure, and it's gonna be a tough one.

245
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: By the way, guys, as we tape some breaking news

246
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: out of New England, Josh Gordon will be on the

247
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: injured reserve season ending knee injury for Josh Gordon, so

248
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: he will not be on the field Sunday. I didn't

249
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: think that was expected, but he will not even be

250
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: on the fifty three man roster going into Sunday. So

251
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: how about that breaking news. I remember when we talked

252
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: about this week one, when the when the Patriots got

253
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, you wondered if either him or Josh Gordon

254
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: would be there by week it'll be the Mohamed. Yeah,

255
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: that obviously would lead you to think that the Patriots

256
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: new this a few days ago and they and they

257
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: get nikkil Harry back next week their first round pick. Correct,

258
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: So they got a new receiving corps that they're going

259
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: to be trying to work to you. I mean, maybe

260
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of an opening for your defense.

261
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: Maybe you take advantage of that and get to Brady

262
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: a little bit. You know, Myles talked about today you

263
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: got you gotta make him see ghosts, That's what he said.

264
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: I can't imagine you see too much of though. I

265
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: just think it's hard. It's hard to do, it's hard

266
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: to get involved. Maybe you have a small package of plays,

267
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: but you look back at last year in Golden Tate

268
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: with the with the Eagles. It's just hard to make

269
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: an impact right away on a team like that. Absolutely.

270
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: It's also very characteristic of a Patriots team, and especially

271
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: a Tom Brady team, to take advantage of no name receivers.

272
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's where they've made a lot of their money. Yeah,

273
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: in that two thousand seven year they had Randy Moss

274
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: and Westwelker, and they were unbelievable. But in the years

275
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: in between, they've found guys who probably wouldn't do much

276
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: else anywhere else. And this seems to be like the

277
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: receiving corps. At least the Browns are gonna face this week.

278
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: I wonder, though, there has to be some package they

279
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: put together for sinew because they're desperate for wide receiver

280
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: help um. And I wonder how tough it is shook

281
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: all poses to you because you're a former a player,

282
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: you you played it at some level of football. How

283
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: tough is it to prepare for someone You can watch

284
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: tape of them all day long, but you're watching tape

285
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: of them as an Atlanta Falcon. You're not watching him

286
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: getting balls thrown to him from Tom Brady. Well, I

287
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: think from a defensive standpoint, like from the Browns defensive standpoint.

288
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: I think it's difficult because you it's like, you know

289
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: when a crossboard comparison, you know, when a starting pitcher

290
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 1: makes his big league debut and he like comes out

291
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: of the gate blazing and it just moaned guys down

292
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: on has like three or four awesome starts, and then

293
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: he comes back to earth because they get a book

294
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 1: on him. Well, you start to get a book on

295
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: a guy as he's a part of an offense, if

296
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: he's a new arrival. It really comes down to how

297
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: often they want to implement him. And I think Gribble's right,

298
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: You're not probably not gonna see a whole lot of him.

299
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 1: You might see him a little bit here and there,

300
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: but it's not like he's gonna play you know, fifty

301
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: some snaps in that game, even if they're really the

302
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: only reason you would ever see that is if they're

303
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: so devoided receiver that they literally have no one else

304
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: to play and they have to play him. So I

305
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna make I think it's something that

306
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: you it's a long play for the rest of this

307
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: season and also nasty next season because he still got

308
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: one more year in his contract, which explains the compensation

309
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: in that deal. Uh So it's not something you still

310
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: need to worry about, but you also can't overlook it

311
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: because then it can bite you come game time. So

312
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: not not something I would really worry about a time.

313
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: That's a look at the New England Patriots, a formidable

314
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: opponent obviously that we will be facing on Sunday. For

315
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: more on Sunday's game, or Andrew Gribble had a chance

316
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: to go one on one with Cleveland Brown's former offensive linement,

317
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: newly retired and friend of the University Hospitals Cleveland Brown's

318
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: radio network when he was here, John Greco, have a listen,

319
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: all right, John, Well, first off, just kind of congratulate

320
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: you on your your NFL career which came to an

321
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: end after last season. Just to walk through what goes

322
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: into that decision making process and how you're feeling right now. Well,

323
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: you know, there was a lot of thought put into it.

324
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: Had to kind of sit down with, you know, first

325
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: myself and and convinced myself that I was comfortable with

326
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: kind of walking away, and you know, talk to my family,

327
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: and you know, I know my wife was fully behind me,

328
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: you know, because she wants to see my safety more

329
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: than anything else. So it was just the right time

330
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: for me. You know, I had a lot of fun,

331
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: played a long time, and you know, I didn't want

332
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: to try to force anything and regret anything trying to

333
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: play a year too long. So I think I got

334
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: at the right time and had some fun. I didn't

335
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: win as many games as I had hoped, obviously, but

336
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: I had a lot of fun throughout the journey. When

337
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: you were going back to your college days, do you

338
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: ever think you'd play in the NFL as long as

339
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: you did? You know what? No, not really. I was.

340
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: I was more of like, uh, you know, just kind

341
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: of take it one year at a time. And the

342
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: old guys told me when I was a rookie that

343
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: you know, you blink and your rookie year seems like

344
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: you last forever because you won't really get any time off.

345
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: And then they said from that first time off that

346
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: you get from your rookie year going into your second year,

347
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: that offseason, they said, it goes by like you blink,

348
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: and it goes by like that, and you'll be you know,

349
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: I did it. Did it to me? I was like,

350
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: my god, I was like I just finished my rookie year.

351
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: Here I am and year four and then it's like now,

352
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: I mean you're seven, it's and then I'm then I'm

353
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: an old wise man after about eight and nine. So, uh,

354
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a lot of fun. It was

355
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: a great you know, learned a lot about the game

356
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: and about people in general, met a lot of great,

357
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: great friends along the way, and you know, it was

358
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: it was a really good journey. And kind of looking back,

359
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: I know it wasn't as many wins as you wanted

360
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: in your Cleveland career, But that offensive line in two

361
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: thousand and fourteen with with Joe Joel, Alex You at

362
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: right guard and Mitchell Swarts at right tackle, I know

363
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: what you guys didn't get to play together the whole

364
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: season because of Alex's tree. But but was that maybe

365
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: the best unit you were you were a part of

366
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 1: throughout your career. Um, Yeah, easily. I think that was

367
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: the best football that I played in my career. And

368
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: that was the most success we had as a team

369
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: or as an offense. UM we had. We were having

370
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. We were we had like many

371
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: competitions every week. It was like who's going to get

372
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: more knockdowns? Who's gonna get more pancakes. Who's gonna be

373
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: the bigger beast on the field. And it was a

374
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: lot of fun. You know, winning games is fun and um,

375
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: you know, unfortunately, like we said, I didn't, I wasn't

376
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: on the right end of it, you know, the majority

377
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: of my career, but I had a lot of fun

378
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: um through along the way. Kind Of looking at this

379
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: current Brownze team two and four after the bye week,

380
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 1: just from your experiences, what does a team come back

381
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: like from a by and you is it almost always good?

382
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: Or can there be times when a team comes back

383
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: not ready to play after after a bye week? You know,

384
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: I think the buy was always good. It's like, you know, whatever,

385
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 1: whatever wherever it falls on your season, it's a great

386
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 1: re set. And if you things are going great for

387
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: you as a team, you could say, okay, hey, listen,

388
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: let's clear our heads and get back to business when

389
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: we get back and you know, continue on that success.

390
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 1: And then those teams are worried about you know, we

391
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: we can't have any drop off from what we had

392
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: going on momentum. And then there's teams that are you know,

393
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 1: kind of battling trying to get where they want to

394
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: be like the Browns are right now. So you know

395
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: that you really get a time to reflect. You let

396
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 1: your body heal, you know, look at the game play

397
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 1: and look at what you've done well, look at you

398
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: what you need to improve on, and uh, you know,

399
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: bring a lot of energy into your next game. And

400
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 1: sometimes injuries force teams to make offensive line changes within

401
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: a week. But is the bye week really the only

402
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: time where you could make kind of some changes like

403
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: the Bronze might be making this weekends New England. Yeah,

404
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: I think it helps because you get a chance to

405
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: have those extra practices. Those those extra practices are like gold, um,

406
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: because you get to tweak things. You you're not so

407
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: concerned with, oh, we gotta get to this next thing.

408
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: We gotta get to this next you know, or down look,

409
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: you really have a chance to say, well, let's experiment

410
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: a little bit. Let's try a a formation, a play

411
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: that we you know, worked on in the summer and

412
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 1: during you know, preseason that was kind of you know,

413
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: tucked away in the closet. Let's bring it back out

414
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: and and try some different combinations. So you know, you

415
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: do have a little bit more time with those extra

416
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: practices and and uh, you know, at the same time,

417
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: at the same time you guys are a little bit

418
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 1: banged up. They get back to pent hopefully and and

419
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: you know, you go to your next game with a

420
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 1: full healthy team. And just from your experience, I think

421
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: you you had a couple of games against New England

422
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: throughout your career. What is different about preparing for a

423
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: team like that and maybe preparing to go into an

424
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: environment like the one that they have at Gilette Stadium. Well,

425
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: you're going to new environment that's that's very tough to

426
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: win in. And and they've that nucleus, that core nucleus,

427
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: that's that's all they know is winning. They've been together

428
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: for a long time, so going in, you know, there's

429
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 1: a lot, a lot stacked in front of you. But

430
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: with that being said, you know, why can't why can't

431
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: it be the Browns this weekend? You know, shock everyone,

432
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: I know, everyone in this building things they can win.

433
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: Want to prove all all the datas, you know wrong.

434
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: So I know that they're going in with a great

435
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 1: plan and and try to knock off a team that's

436
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: you know, kind of right for for their first loss

437
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 1: and you know, get the brown Ship back on the

438
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: right direction and and go put together a good plan

439
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: and and execute it. I don't want to bring up

440
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: a bad memory here, but two thousand and thirteen, you guys,

441
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: I mean did just that up until the last minute. Man,

442
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 1: What do you remember from from that experience and just

443
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: kind of what what it's like maybe punching that team

444
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,239
Speaker 1: in the mouth and getting a big lead in their

445
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: stadium like that. Yeah, I think I think if you

446
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: can if you can come out of the gates firing

447
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: and and either get a big stop or a turnover,

448
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 1: a big special teams play or or a score on offense,

449
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 1: and really just try to suck the air out of

450
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: that stadium, that's gonna help. You know, if you if

451
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: you go in there and they make a big play,

452
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: it's going to be you know, an uphill uh fight.

453
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 1: So you know, I think if they go in there

454
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: and and just kind of execute and go in don't

455
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: let the noise affect anything, and and just play their game,

456
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: I think have a good shot. I know earlier today,

457
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: players in the locker room talks about that. They talked

458
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: to players who play in New England and they hear

459
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: about the experiences there. What have you heard from guys,

460
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: who have played for Belichick or played with Brady and

461
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: what they say about that system there, Well, I think

462
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: you know they're they're good for a reason. It's it's, uh,

463
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: you know, almost like a military run organization. So I think,

464
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 1: you know, winning comes with a lot of sacrifices, so

465
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 1: you have there's guys. Not not to say that any

466
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: other organization doesn't do the same thing, but I think

467
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: just the amount of preparation and just the the intelligence

468
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: and the coaching and the players being bought in and

469
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: the system. It's it's a proven system, and you know

470
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: they have guys that buy into it and play hard

471
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 1: and and practice hard and and like I said, there's

472
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: really no um, you know, no let up or downtime.

473
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: It's it's all work all the time. And like it's

474
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: like I said, there's a reason why they've had so

475
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: much success. We've mentioned with coming off the bye week,

476
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: there's things that this team needs to work on. Uh.

477
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: One of the folks has been eliminating penalties. I mean,

478
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: it just seems like an easy thing to say, but

479
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: a tougher thing to do. What what goes into a

480
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: practice where you're basically focused on elimiting those penalties. You know,

481
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 1: I think obviously they're talking about it. It's on everyone's mind.

482
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: If you can just go in and just the the accountability,

483
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: the leaders step up and and just hold you guys

484
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: accountable and maybe if if some guy has to get

485
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: called out, they have to get called out. Something has

486
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: to be done for everyone to be at their best. Mentally,

487
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna have those physical penalties, holdings off side, you know,

488
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 1: things like that happened, you know, defensive holding his passengerferens

489
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 1: those those all happened because of aggressive play. And I think,

490
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 1: I know coaches can live at that, but you know

491
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: what kills coaches is or what drives coaches nuts is

492
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: when you have the unforced airs, the mental breakdowns. You know,

493
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: you have off sides lining up in the neutral zone,

494
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 1: you know, hitting a quarterback late, and you know, I

495
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 1: know it's a lot of gray area with that now,

496
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: but you know, it's just kind of a thing that

497
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: everybody has to, you know, just having their mind a

498
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: little bit more to try to play a clean game.

499
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 1: And then what's one thing that has you optimistic about

500
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: this these final ten games, about this Browns team right now, Well,

501
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: I think they've shown flashes and shown you know, throughout

502
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: all the a lot of their games, the the games

503
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 1: that they can be the team that everyone is expecting

504
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: them to be, and I know that they want to be,

505
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: so they've shown flashes. I that's the thing that's so frustrating.

506
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: And I know the players feel the same way. They

507
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: see it. They know they have the ability, They know

508
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: they have all the right pieces of the puzzle. They

509
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: just have to take the plan and put into action.

510
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: So I'm optimistic because wouldn't wouldn't would a better signature

511
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: win winning on the road in Foxboro against the undefeated

512
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: Patriots team to really start the trajectory of the season

513
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 1: going the right direction. And and really, you know, on

514
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: the on the second half of the season, you you

515
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: see some games that everyone knows that are winnable. So

516
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: a lot of division games, everything and everything in the

517
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 1: division is still open. It's still still ahead of them.

518
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: So get a you know, great road win this weekend,

519
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,320

Speaker 1: thank John for his time and uh he'll be making

522
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: a few more appear at this on the b p

523
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: A and through other programming elements as well as we

524
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 1: continue our march through the two thousand and nineteen football season. Guys,

525
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 1: let's get right into it. Keys to victory for the

526
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns on Sunday. A winnable game. Every game is winnable.

527
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you, the Cleveland Browns played the Patriots

528
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: very well the last time, not the last time. It

529
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: was a dark season. Yeah, that was a dark two seasons.

530
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: But there was a time in seven years ago, my

531
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: first season doing the Browns radio network, we went into Foxboro.

532
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 1: T j Ward took out Gronk. The entire New England

533
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 1: fan base wanted to come on the field and go

534
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: after t j Ward, pitchforks, you name it. They wanted

535
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: him out it, they wanted to take him out. We

536
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: had it was at least a ten point, but I

537
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: feel like it was seven. I looked at this box

538
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 1: score yesterday. I tried to get it out of my head.

539
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 1: Had a twelve point lead with a minute to play.

540
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:10,719
Speaker 1: Yea and Patriots scored twice in Yeah, this is the one. Yes,

541
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: this has not abused by Tom Brady. Josh Gordon had

542
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: a really good game this game, Yes he did. Yeah,

543
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,959
Speaker 1: against that team to Lee. He ran all the way

544
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 1: down the field against the matchup before that, the Browns dominated,

545
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:27,719
Speaker 1: the Patre dominated. Yeah, but the last game does Brady's

546
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: revenge game, first game off suspension, it was New England

547
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: West and the Grand Cat two tds I believe, and

548
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 1: then who's the what the Bennett Martellis Bennett had a

549
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: touch on me. It was just as a Charlie white Hurst.

550
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: Here's an anecdote for the pp A listeners that if

Speaker 1: now retired. UH is into the arts. He's a creative guy, right.

554
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: He had a clothing line. At one time, UH produced

555
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: T shirts. They were pretty cheap. I was in college.

556
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: I went to go buy one of his T shirts

557
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: fifteen bucks whatever. Not only did I pay for the

558
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 1: T shirt, but it never arrived. And when I complained

00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: Twitter accounts still exists. I'm blowing up the Twitter account.

562
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: I'm blowing up martell Martella's Bennetts account Hey, I know

Speaker 1: d M me or email. I d M then my

567
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: email nothing. Continue to hit up Martella's periodically. Whenever he

568
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 1: would tweet something that would blow up and show up

569
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: in my timeline, I would be like, hey, you owe

570
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: me fifteen dollars. Martella's Bennett has been blocked on Twitter

571
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: now and he still owes me fifteen dollars, and that

572
00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 1: day he went for a big one. Speculation, there's aciculation

573
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: the Patriots may may no longer owe his brother money

574
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: any times soon because he has not. He's fallen out

575
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 1: of favorite Yes in New England, Yes, playing very little.

576
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: Many think he might not be on the team after

577
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: the trade deadline. We'll see, so you could be in

578
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,120
Speaker 1: the same boat. I got some random Brown's shrey here though,

579
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: real quick. The two thou six team matchup with the Patriots,

580
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: I blocked that out. Can you name the player? Charlie

581
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: Whitehurst threw a touchdown too in the fourth quarter of

582
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: that game. This was just three years ago. Was it

583
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,199
Speaker 1: one of the kids. It was a huge team. Was

584
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: it one of the kids that was drafted the year prior?

585
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: This person was not drafted. I was I was thinking.

586
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: I was trying to think Terence West and when he

587
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: was there, when he wasn't Can we get one hint?

588
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: It's a tight end. Oh, this is gonna make me

589
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: mag because I feel like it's somewhat on the tip

590
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: of my tongue. Now, I do not have an answer

591
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: for this. It's a lot of dead air that's gonna

592
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: need cut out. That's fine, I can do that. H

593
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 1: A tight end, all right? Can I use a lifeline?

594
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 1: Can I get this? Currently a member of the XFL's

595
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: Seattle Dragons. I don't have any idea. Who got his

596
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: name is Connor Hamlets. Never would have gotten that, never

597
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: would have got it. Got the touchdown the fourth quarter

598
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: of the game against the Patriots. Is that the game

599
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 1: where Charlie Whitehurst only survived a half He heard his

600
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: knee in the fourth quarter? Yeah, and uh it was

601
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: the Cody Kesler actually started very well in that game.

602
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 1: Was five of eight sixty two yards concussion, Yeah, and

603
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: it was downhill from there. It escalated quickly. Some of

604
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 1: those games where you left the stadium and you were like,

605
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: just it was the five. It was honestly, it was

606
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: the first game of that season where the team was

607
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: not competitive because they had been and that was the

608
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: beginning of a downward spiral from there. Some lopside of games,

609
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: but it was it was coming off I believe it

610
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: was coming off that heartbreaker. Might know it was the

611
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: heart of the Washington game. It was coming off that

612
00:28:55,360 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: game where you had and there were a lot of

613
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: things that went wrong, but I just remember driving into

614
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: the stadium, down to the stadium that day and there

615
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: were Patriot fans that had reserved whole parking lots downtown

616
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: with within walking distance to the stadium. Like off of

617
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: Lakeside there were whole parking lots reserved, and like New

618
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: England had moved west and set up camp I was at.

619
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: It was insane. I was at a popular Cleveland restaurant

620
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: the night before and there were some Patriots fans that

621
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: were I've never seen and I'm not labeling it's probably

622
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: a very lovely fan base. Some of the some of

623
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: the rudest interaction diversing between a customer and sure and

624
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: await staff. Really, but I did see a lot of

625
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: gron jerseys, including people wearing Gronk jerseys at a place

626
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: where if you're there in a jersey, you were out

627
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: of place. It was Yeah, they just walked right in

628
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: if if you have to ask how much it is

629
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: that was? It was Also I think the Indians were

630
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: they weren't they playing the Red Sox at that time? Yes, yeah,

631
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: it was a two fur What a terrible weekend you

632
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: think about? It was? It was pretty although we beat

633
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: the Yeah, yeah, that's great, But I think we played

634
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: Sunday night. The Browns played Sunday afternoon and it was

635
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: ugly and everybody just went to the bar and got

636
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: black out and went to the Indians game. I believe that.

637
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: I believe that. I believe that's what happened. That's in

638
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: my head and I'm gonna go with it. I'm confident

639
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: in that. All Right, Keys to victory, Gribble. If the

640
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: Browns are going to win on Sunday, what must they do?

641
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: I think it's a big ask to say no turnovers,

642
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: But I'll simply say four more turnovers than you commit O.

643
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: The Patriots obviously eighteen interceptions to one touchdown pass. They

644
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: have a lot all year. They're forcing a lot of

645
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,040
Speaker 1: fumbles too, and they're scoring a lot of points to

646
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: their defense. I think the stat today was they'd be

647
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: three three and one if their offense at zero points

648
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: this year. So they're turning these turnifers into points and

649
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: not even putting the ball in Brady's hands. Their turnover

650
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: margin is plus fourteen. So you just need I can't

651
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: say don't turn the ball over because it's probably gonna happen,

652
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: but you gotta force turnovers and and make the most

653
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: of them in this matchup. You just gotta be on

654
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: the plus side at the end of it. I don't

655
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: care how many you commit, just force more than you commit.

656
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: Brady's only got Brady has eleven touchdowns in seven games.

657
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: It's not a huge number. And and going back to

658
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,959
Speaker 1: that defense, that red zone defense in New England is

659
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: playing as well. Forget about playing getting to the twenty

660
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: yard line. If you get to the red zone, you're

661
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: almost it's almost like going into a stone wall. And

662
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: don't mean to be a downer here, but if you

663
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: do think about that, and you think about this team here,

664
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: that's a bad Gama. This is a team that's struggle

665
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: on the red zone. Hopefully they can turn it around

666
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: against a very good red zone defense team. I think

667
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: my key um is don't be predictable, and I think

668
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: that's kind of an easy thing to say, but let's

669
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: face it, we we know the strength of this offense

670
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: right now is the man wearing number twenty four. And

671
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: as much as you'd like to give them the ball

672
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: thirty times a game and try to control the clock,

673
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: this defense also knows that. If we know that, they

674
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: definitely know that. So you're gonna have to get a

675
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: little bit creative and try and find ways to uh

676
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: to scheme up open receivers on short passes, to limit

677
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: their pass rush, to limit to get Baker established and comfortable.

678
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: And it sounds kind of like we're talking about the

679
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: same things every week, but I think it's even more important.

680
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: A team that is so prone to or or so

681
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: advanti opportunistic, you know, they just they create problems, They

682
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: lead league interceptions, they create turnovers, and you don't want

683
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: to be in a situation where you're fighting uphill because

684
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: of your turnovers, which you found before, because this team

685
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: is gonna make you pay more than any other team.

686
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: And I think the other thing you have to do.

687
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: This is even simpler, but just statistically speaking, score more

688
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: than one offensive touchdown in the game. No one else

689
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: has done it to him. Yeah, No, Jets had to

690
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: get all their points in the first game off defense

691
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: and special teams. Giants could only score once on offense.

692
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: Bills had one offensive touchdown in a field goal, So

693
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: one offensive touchdown is the most States surrendered in one

694
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: game this year. It's a task A lot will be asked,

695
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: but the Browns have had two weeks to get ready

696
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: for the Patriots, so we shall see what happens. Kick

697
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: off four in Foxborough. Jim Donovan, Doug Deacon, Nathan Zigara

698
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: on the call for Andrew Gribble for Nick Shook. Any

699
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: final thoughts or comments before we begin. I'm ready to

700
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: across the state. Off my list for this trip. I've

701
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: never been to Rhode Island. It is a fine place,

702
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: my friends. You've been a Delaware never been. I've been

703
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: through it. I've I've got weird patches of the country

704
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: where I've never been. The Northeast is a is a

705
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: beautiful city. Providence is good, you know. I like it.

706
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: I don't think I've been in Massachusetts, so I'm with

707
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: you on that, not Boston or never been to Boston.

708
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: To Boston, I've been in the Cape. I've been to

709
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: all those posts, have been to Rhoe Island, been to Delaware.

710
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've been to Rhode Island. Either way,

711
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,240
Speaker 1: I'll be able to say I have after this weekend.

712
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,000
