1 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to this Monday edition of the From the Podium podcast. 2 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,160 Speaker 1: I'm Gabe Kolera. The Browns are back in the building 3 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 1: today and fresh off of their bye week as they 4 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,759 Speaker 1: begin preparations to head to the meadow Lands to take 5 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 1: on the Jets this coming Sunday. On this episode, you'll 6 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,799 Speaker 1: hear from head coach Kevin Stefanski, wide receiver Cedric Tillman, 7 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: and offensive guard Wyatt Teller. We'll start with head coach 8 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski, who announced a change in game day duties. 9 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 2: Okay, good work out there for the guys. Got some 10 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,239 Speaker 2: two minute situations, had a seven on seven down in 11 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 2: the red zone, at some install periods to work on 12 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 2: things we identified over the bye week. So I thought 13 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 2: the guy's handled today really well. Obviously off tomorrow and 14 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 2: then we'll start in earnest on the Jets on Wednesday. 15 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 2: I thought it was a really good bye week for everybody. 16 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 2: I thought the players did a nice job, obviously taking 17 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 2: care of their bodies getting back here, refreshed, recharged. 18 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 3: Coaches. I thought did a really nice job over this. 19 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 2: These last few days of looking at everything we're doing offensively, defensively, 20 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 2: special team. So we've identified a lot of things that 21 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 2: we want to do better, a lot of areas where 22 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 2: we feel like we can improve, areas where we feel 23 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 2: like we can adapt. And that's where having this after 24 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 2: eight games is important, where you can learn a lot 25 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 2: from yourself and then get ready for a nine game season. 26 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 2: Obviously with first one coming up versus Jets. Other thing 27 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 2: on play calling, I'm gonna have Tommy call the plays 28 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 2: on offense. These are things that I'm always looking at, 29 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 2: what can we do better. I have a ton of 30 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 2: trust and faith and Tommy, he's more than capable, so 31 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 2: excited for him. But bottom line is, we have to 32 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 2: just get better collectively. So that's offense, that's defense, that's 33 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 2: special teams, that's players, that's coaches. So that's our charge 34 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 2: and that's what we're working hard to do. And with that, 35 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 2: I'll take any questions. 36 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 4: I have decision Kevin to turnover play calling. 37 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I look at everything, Jeff every week. 38 00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 2: Certainly the bye week gives you an opportunity to look 39 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 2: at everything, and bottom line is, we have to be better. 40 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 3: We have to be better, and a. 41 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 2: Lot of facets on the offensive side, and I just 42 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 2: felt like Tommy is somebody that I believe in obviously 43 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 2: hired him here a couple of years back because I 44 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 2: really believe in Tommy as a coach, and he's done 45 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 2: everything that we've asked, and I just feel like this 46 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 2: is the right time for this. 47 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 5: I think he might bring to the table or what 48 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 5: different spin or set of eyes might might he give you. 49 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 2: Well, it's similar to how we talk about you know, 50 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 2: it's never about one person, So whether it's you're talking 51 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 2: about a player or a coach, it's not about one person. 52 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 2: But obviously I think Tommy's gonna be himself and that's 53 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 2: what you know I'm asking him to do, and I'll 54 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 2: be there every step of the way to help him 55 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 2: in any way I can, like like you should with 56 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 2: any play caller. But bottom line is he understands what 57 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 2: we need to do, which is stay on the field 58 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 2: and score some points. 59 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 5: Steers are downstairs. 60 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, we haven't talked through it exactly yet. 61 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 6: Only change you see making or quarterback remain the same 62 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 6: for this game. Yes, for the Patriots game, Reese talked 63 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 6: about how you got to make Gabriel comfortable to throw 64 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 6: the ball down field, and yet it got worse in 65 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 6: the New England game. So what's the problem. Why can't 66 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 6: he throw the ball to receivers wide receivers. 67 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 2: I'd say that's something Tony that we just have to 68 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 2: be better collectively. That's us putting our quarterback and positions 69 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 2: where those opportunities exist. That's us putting our receivers in 70 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 2: positions where that they can be open, whether it's down 71 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 2: the field, intermediate, you name it. That's something that we 72 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 2: all need to be better. 73 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 4: Looking at everything and other changes? Are there other changes 74 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 4: that you're gonna. 75 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 2: Make, specifically to personnel would be the first thing. I 76 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 2: think it's our job to make sure when it comes 77 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 2: to personnel obviously, just make sure everybody's in the right 78 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 2: place at the right time, so to speak. Scott, but 79 00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 2: nothing of notable to comment on right now. To Tommy, 80 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 2: I guess how can cause you guys have the same 81 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 2: play right, So how can that change? 82 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 4: Is there there gonna be more x ron or you 83 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 4: know what I mean? 84 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 2: Like, yeah, I think the bigger picture for us is 85 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 2: what as we looked at this week, what do we 86 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 2: feel like we can do well?

And and we 89 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 2: need to move on from those areas. And uh, there's 90 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 2: plenty of football to your point about the playbook, there's 91 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 2: plenty of plays.

We have not played our best football, 171 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 2: and that's haven't done it as as players, as coaches, offense, 172 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 2: defense teams, we feel like there's more for us to give, 173 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 2: and that's where we're focused on right now. 174 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 5: Tommy are so closely aligned and have worked so closely 175 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 5: together on everything, setting up the game plans and everything. 176 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 4: I mean, do you think that. 177 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 5: I guess that he will have the confidence to put 178 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 5: his own. 179 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 3: Spin on this offense without a doubt. 180 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 2: And I think it's it's important, Mary Kay, that those 181 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 2: meetings and the discussion that happens Monday through Saturday as 182 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 2: important as the order in which those plays come off 183 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 2: on Sunday. So I just think all of us as coaches, 184 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 2: on all you all sides of the ball button this case, offense, 185 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 2: we have to do our job.

No, 410 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 15: our defense is playing tight. You know, obviously we're not 411 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,919 Speaker 15: turning the ball over as much this pass game we did. 412 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 15: But you know there's some good we're getting back on 413 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 15: track with with with the turnover battle.

I mean, if you 415 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,400 Speaker 15: don't give the ball to them, you play good defense 416 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 15: and you have good time and possession with a score, 417 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 15: you should win. Right, So as long as we can 418 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 15: give an opportunity to you know, our defense to you know, 419 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 15: see a lot of game us to finishing victory. 420 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 2: Man the last season, the liner we're talking about get 421 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 2: back to some of the outside stuff. 422 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 10: Right, You do a lot of cool and I. 423 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 4: Don't think you've done a ton of that this year. 424 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 2: Do you feel like when Kevin talks about evaluating everything 425 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 2: at the bay leading into that could. 426 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 3: Be something you guys do go out of by sure? 427 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 15: No, I feel that, you know, there's things that we've 428 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 15: done for years that uh that you know, obviously, defense 429 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 15: is gonna get a tell on stuff. But how can 430 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:33,959 Speaker 15: we be multiple and versatile? I feel like that's one 431 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,439 Speaker 15: of our identity points is you know, a deep an 432 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 15: offense that can look you know, the same and different 433 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 15: at the same time. So yeah, No, I feel that 434 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 15: if that's getting to the outside, to the perimeter, you know, 435 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 15: pen and poll. 436 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:49,640 Speaker 13: Transportation plays and that that helps. 437 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 15: But I also think that, you know, arguably the best 438 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 15: part of our team is the offensive line, So how 439 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 15: can we also get those downhill interior runs that I 440 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 15: love because Q's pretty good stuff? 441 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 12: Well, you might. 442 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 4: I don't want to take that away from them. 443 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 12: I haven't answered this already, so I apologize.

People think that 448 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 15: I'm good enough to get traded. I hope that I 449 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 15: don't get traded. I want to retire at Cleveland brown 450 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 15: You know, I love it here. I was just talking 451 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 15: to these guys about deer hunting and fishing and stuff 452 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 15: like that. I don't I don't want to leave this place. 453 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 13: I love this place. 454 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 15: But even more than that, I love the the you know, 455 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 15: the city and the fans and everything like that. I 456 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 15: know that sounds like very cliche, but I truly do. 457 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 15: If anybody knows, my my family and I were always 458 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 15: we're very close in this community. 459 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 13: So no, I don't want to get traded. 460 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 15: But obviously business is in business, and I know that 461 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 15: if this could help the Cleveland Browns or something like that, 462 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 15: I'm not above the team. 463 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 11: Along those lines, I mean, along those lines with the 464 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 11: possibility of being traded, like I assume, even though the 465 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 11: season hasn't gone the way you guys wanted, you would 466 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 11: like to stick here and be a part of the 467 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 11: solution and figuring it out. 468 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 13: Right, hundred percent, I don't want to leave. I don't 469 00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:58,360 Speaker 13: want to tucktail. 470 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 15: And you know, Lea even you know, because I feel 471 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 15: like a couple of years ago we were that close 472 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 15: to being in the AFC Championship like that's just mind 473 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 15: boggling for any Cleveland Browns fan because it's just been 474 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 15: since the eighties since we've done it. 475 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 13: So we used to do it consistently. 476 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 15: So how can we bring that culture back that goes 477 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 15: to the playoffs that you know, it has a winning team, 478 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,399 Speaker 15: that it's not the same old Cleveland Browns, you know, 479 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 15: And I feel like we were right there and then 480 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 15: it kind of took a step back. But I'm not 481 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 15: you know, I'm not blind to the fact that we're 482 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 15: right there. And you know, again, as bad as the 483 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 15: season is viewed or perceived or like two or three 484 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 15: plays away from a lot different season now, that can 485 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 15: be said for a lot of teams, but we're right there. 486 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 13: Now, how can we be more consistent and win? Especially 487 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 13: and that's what good teams do late I would have. 488 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 4: Last year especially. 489 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 15: Yeah, No, I feel like Tommy has well, first of all, 490 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 15: just you know, on the sidelines, he's he's up in 491 00:20:58,520 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 15: the box, so he's gonna have a better view of 492 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 15: what's going on. 493 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 12: You know. 494 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,160 Speaker 15: I think that when it comes to play calling, that's 495 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 15: one less thing on Kevin Splayton.
