1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: M coming to you live from the Cross Country Mortgage

2
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: Campus in Barrie, Ohio. This is Cleveland Browns Daily on

3
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: esp in Cleveland. Here are your hosts, Bo Bishop and

4
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: Nathan Zagura. Happy Monday and welcome in the Cleveland Browns Daily.

5
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: Nathan Zagura alongside Gibbe today, both Bishops spend some time

6
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: on Ponderosa with his pops in town, so he'll be

7
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 1: back with us tomorrow, so we will certainly miss him today.

8
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: But Gibby, I gotta tell you, it was real nice

9
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: to have a weekend to just sit around watch football

10
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: or not watch football, depending on what you wanted to

11
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: do with it, but really to be able to just

12
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: go out there and kind of do whatever it was

13
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: while knowing the Browns had already won for the week,

14
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: getting the job done twenty nine to seventeen over the Steelers.

15
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: Of all the primetime games, whether it's Thursday night, Sunday night,

16
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: or Monday night, and it requires a ton of work

17
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: on the front end, but Thursday night blows away Sunday

18
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: night and Monday night. You don't have to wait all

19
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: day for Sunday. You don't have to wait all weekend

20
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: for Monday night. I mean it's and you get a

21
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: little mini by week and you can't go wrong. Man,

22
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: it was. It was fantastic. It was good to get away,

23
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: recharge the batteries a little bit, no doubt. And now

24
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: we get into a busy month of October. Then all

25
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: of a sudden, there's a lot of teams with some

26
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: issues that we're playing over the next five Chargers have

27
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: real issues, the Patriots our next three games. I mean,

28
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: the Falcons have struggled. They really struggle on defense, although

29
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: they came out they are coming off of a big

30
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: win on the road against the Seattle Seahawks twenty three.

31
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that obviously as things go on, but

32
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: there are some issues before we move on with the

33
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: rest of the show. I just wanted to to take

34
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: one second and say that while we were all loving

35
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: what was going on in that in that game the

36
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: Browns beating the Steelers twenty seventeen, our linebacker coach and

37
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: good friend of this program, Jason Tarver I lost his

38
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: father's father passed away and he tweeted this. He said,

39
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: my hero, my dad passed away during the fourth quarter

40
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: of our team win on Thursday night. He showed his

41
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: picture of him from playing a baseball as a young man.

42
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: He says, I'm the kid on the right with the

43
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: big ears. My dad grew up in Syracuse. He loved

44
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: the Browns. Jim Brown or Andy Davis were his heroes.

45
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: Help us grind and win here in the land, and

46
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: also said congrats to the Guardian. So uh thoughts certainly

47
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: with Brown's linebacker coach Jason Tarver Um and his family

48
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: after the passing of his father and and his zero

49
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: at at the age of seventy five years old. So

50
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: something we definitely want to give a shout out. We're

51
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: very listen, very much as a family here with the Browns,

52
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: and you get a chance to know these guys as

53
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: we do, you know, not just the players, but the coaches. Um,

54
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: then you get to you know, become friends with them.

55
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: And so very sad day in that regard, uh for

56
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: coach tarver and certainly our thoughts are with him and

57
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: his family out in California and all around the country.

58
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: So I just wanted to make sure we got that

59
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: in there. Um. But you know, this was a weekend

60
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: gibe that was as we said, it was nice and

61
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: it was relaxing for us. By the way, coach Harver

62
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: did share to lighten the mood a great story of

63
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: his He had to coach his son's flight football team

64
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: on Saturday, which he never gets to do. Uh and

65
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: and they won and he was like so pumped about it.

66
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: So like that was a cool guy. He got to

67
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: have a cool father son moment coming out of that.

68
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: So certainly again thoughts with him. Also, congrats, you know,

69
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: to to his son's team, but also congrats to the

70
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: Guardians a L Central Division champions. And like that magic number.

71
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: I was at sphotos on Tuesday and I feel like

72
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: the magic number was like it was ten and then

73
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: it's over on Sunday, which is incredible. I'm not sure

74
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: anybody outside of the Guardians organization believed the way that

75
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: they believed this year. Oh they sure didn't. And by

76
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: the way they believed, and they absolutely delivered on that

77
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: belief and and so yeah, major props to them. Hopefully

78
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: there's were a lot of division titles in this city.

79
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it's possible we could have a clean sweep

80
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: of them. Calves look pretty darn good. The Guardians have

81
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: already done it, and so they would say the ball

82
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: as an our court. Certainly here with the Browns. WI

83
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: right now currently tied to top the division two and

84
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: one with the Baltimore Ravens. But just going back to

85
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: the weegain number one, it was so nice. Number two.

86
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: It is hard to watch, like I haven't been waiting

87
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: all day for Sunday. Both so right, and I know

88
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: we get to experiences a couple of times a year,

89
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: But like watching the one o'clock games, I was like juiced.

90
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: I was all in a lot of fantasy stuff going on,

91
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: although it felt like a lot of the guys on

92
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: my team got hurt. Dave Montgomery and I was feeling

93
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: really good about him. And by the way, Khalil Herbert

94
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: comes in and runs for a hundred fifty seven yards

95
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns is his backup which would have been him,

96
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: and so he is, of course alongside Nick Chubb for

97
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: a candidate for the ground Player of the Week. Nick Chubb,

98
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: third straight week he's been on this list, and also

99
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: our opponent this week, Cordarrel Patterson a hundred forty one

100
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: yards rushing in a touchdown of his own. But man,

101
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: it is a long day of watching a lot of

102
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: football and quite frankly, the afternoon games Atlanta Seattle was

103
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: the best one. I mean, the Jags blasted the Chargers.

104
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: The Rams Cardinals game was gross, and honestly, the Bucks

105
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: Packers game was not a fun watch at all. And

106
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: then by day, yes Sunday and either like, oh, we'll

107
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: show you four o'clock. This is gonna be completely Thank

108
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: god I had an hour to watch the House of

109
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: Dragons in the middle, because my goodness, that was awful game. Yeah.

110
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen twelve points,

111
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: fourteen points, seventeen points, nineteen points yesterday man. And and

112
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: then there's Justin Herbert who's playing through the ribs which

113
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: clearly affect him. He put up ten points. The Chargers

114
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: also lost their Pro Bowl left tackle Rashawn Slater with

115
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 1: a torn biceps tendon. He is out for the year. Yeah,

116
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: that just came down from from I think Pela Sero,

117
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: one of the two that that's ten minutes ago. So

118
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: he's out again. That's the Browns. Week five opponent has

119
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: got a groin. Week six boss has got a growing

120
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 1: didn't finish an Mr Today, um mac Jones Mac Jones high.

121
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: Now this is this was the this is the latest update.

122
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: On that severe high ankle spring timetable TVD, so he

123
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: could go on I R. And if he goes on

124
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: I R, then he would be out for our game,

125
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: which means we would be facing Brian Hoyer or Bailey Zappy.

126
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: I think we'd be facing Brian Hoyer. I thought would

127
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:07,119
Speaker 1: be the same, but stranger things have come from Uncle

128
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: Bill Boy. That would just be an incredible situation. But

129
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: I mean the Browns to the brown if if if, if,

130
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: let's just say this is a big theoretical, but if

131
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: that happens, my guess is if it's a very high

132
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: ankles brain, he probably will go on the I R.

133
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: The term used was severe high ankles, which means like

134
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: you've broken your ankle without breaking it, you've broken it. Yes, um,

135
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: it would be week one, Baker week two, Flacco week three,

136
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: Trabinsky week four, Marcus Mariota week five, Herbert week six,

137
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer and then just as to like sign waivers

138
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: to get injections. Did you read that whole well, because

139
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: of what happened with Torod Taylor, it is crazy. Yeah.

140
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if you should be playing period right now,

141
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: but it's not gonna It's not going to heal until

142
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: the season is over. That that whole story was crazy

143
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: in an of itself yesterday. But the one thing you

144
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: can't go to sleep on. The Falcons are no longer gutless.

145
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: I believe someone said that to me on Friday when

146
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: I called them the gutless Falcons. They're not gutless. Look

147
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: at Brandon Lynch walking by. Seattle's defense is so bad

148
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: it's wild. They're the fact. One of the biggest stories

149
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: in the National Football League has got to be the fact,

150
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: the simple fact that Russell Wilson and this Broncos team

151
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: look abysmal. I mean they look, uh bismal. It's really

152
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: a stunning city Asian. How bad they look, by the way,

153
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: I'm just taking a look right now, Gibbey at the scores.

154
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: Probably not so great. Uh No, these scores are electric.

155
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: I mean I've hit one, two, three, I'm seven for

156
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,959
Speaker 1: seven right now. I hit I won the I hit

157
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: the first seven games. Well, and Bo was taking wasn't

158
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: you taking a bunch of the road teams? We took

159
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: a bunch together. We had Cincinnati was a big road

160
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: favorite that we took together. He took Houston, which was

161
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: looking good, but I took Collage Chicago ends up covering

162
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: that one. He took Kansas City. I took Indianapolis because

163
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: I said it meant so much to them. We both

164
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: had Vegas, which was a loss. We both had New

165
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: Orleans which was a loss. Uh, he had Phil Oh,

166
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: I've gotten cold now we both had the Chargers loss.

167
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 1: I did have Atlanta. That's a win for me. Dog

168
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: Tampa green Bay who won that game? Green Bay by two?

169
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: Green Bay by two because Tampa Bay couldn't figure out

170
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 1: how to do the two point conversion. And then although

171
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: man I started that, I went was twenty and should

172
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: have been well. I started off hot and then I

173
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: went cold. So I started off seven and oh, and

174
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: I now said it eight and seven. Really, I lost Vegas,

175
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: I lost New Orleans. I lost Washington football team, the Chargers.

176
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: I lost Tampa Arizona and the Niners. The Niners should

177
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: have won that game a hundred times over. Hey, Jimmy,

178
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: g no where the back of the ends and I

179
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: got that was unbelievable. That would that game was so

180
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: god awful last night waiting all day for Sunday night,

182
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: That's for Darger. She went right to bed. I stayed

183
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: up and watched it to the end because it was

184
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 1: the Niners. I don't know what's going on with Russell Wilson,

185
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: but again, if I'm a Denver Bronco fan, I just

186
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: paid a lot of money to a guy that has

187
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: not looked well. Oh they were. There were some booze

188
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: brother until the final drive, which I went back watched

189
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: this morning because I was asleep. By the midway through

190
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: the third quarter, there were some booze. He did not

191
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: look good. I mean he's missing wide open guys like

192
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: terrible and they went through it. I mean it was dreadful.

193
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: He finished twenty four yards. He was sacked four times.

194
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: Again they continue to play this boon character and and

195
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon, which is unconfortable to me. Um, but Jimmy

196
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: g Man, oh man, Jimmy missed. He had Samuel wide

197
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: open on a route in the second quarter. I saw

198
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 1: that he didn't even look his way. It's wild. It was.

199
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: It was a wild game of football. But as I said,

200
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: it was a wild it was a wild Week three. Yes,

201
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: I mean the Chargers, how many people And I know

202
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: that Herbert once he saw Herbert was playing. How many

203
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: people survivor Pools got blown up by the Chargers against

204
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: the Jags. They've lost eighteen straight on the road. Eight

205
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: team they snapped that streak. How about the Colts written

206
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 1: off for dead? Beat the Chiefs? The Dolphins? Are they

207
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: for real? They beat the Bills? You have a butt

208
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: punt pretty spectacular, but punt was spectacular. The only winless

209
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: team in the National Football League after three weeks. Who

210
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: would have seen that coming given the talent that they have.

211
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: Not me, and you've got from an undefeated team standpoint,

212
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: you've got you got three. Miami and Philly are both three,

213
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 1: and oh Giants played at night there two and oh

214
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: Philly is after watching Tampa Bay in Green Bay yesterday,

215
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: Philly is awesome. I think Philly is better than both

216
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: of them so far, no doubt, no doubt. Jalen Hurts

217
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 1: was phenomenal, Davante Smith was phenomenal. It was Yeah, there

218
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: were there were some very interesting games as you went

219
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: around the league, but it was it's just football is awesome?

220
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: Is it? Really? My big takeaway from the day football

221
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 1: is awesome. There's no doubt in my mind. I prefer

222
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: offensive football defensive football. Um, there were some crazy hits

223
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 1: around the league in this one. You know, now we're

224
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: investigating the concussion protocol, which I don't know if I've

225
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: looked in here, and maybe you're gonna have this in

226
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: here about the Dolphins and we will go around the

227
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: league and you know, a little bit more on each

228
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: of these games. But uh, we've got Jim Donovan coming

229
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: up at two o'clock, the voice of the Brown, So

230
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: that'll be fun. Nick shook to thirty. We've got highlights

231
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: from the podium. We've got Stefanski, We've got Jacob Phillips,

232
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: who now we know Anthony Walker Jr. On injured reserve

233
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 1: is gonna have to play a big role there in

234
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: that in that room, and I'll tell you j Okay

235
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 1: has banged up. You gotta wonder and these are not scores.

236
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 1: These are not scores, but Jibbey, see if you can

237
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: say who what I'm gonna say next? You gotta wonder

238
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: if we're gonna bring back an old reliable in that

239
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: linebacker room, gentlemen that's been with us for a couple

240
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: of years. Malcolm Smith. Not scores, but you gotta imagine

241
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: that that's if he's still ready to go. He's played

242
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: very well for us. He knows the defense, and there

243
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 1: would be euro acclamation period of than getting has been.

244
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: They'd be able to ease him back in terms of snaps.

245
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: But he knows this defense and knows how to play

246
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: in coverage, which is the most important thing I think

247
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: for a linebacker right now in the National Football League

248
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: to be for Phillips and Talkie Talkie, I think it

249
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: is the moment we're talking depth. Yeah, well yeah, because

250
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: after that you got fields, You've got Ku nashk you

251
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: got Dakota Allen's on the practice squad. But the guy

252
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: who comes in right now and knows all three positions

253
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: and has the trust of this coaching staff is Malcolm Smith.

254
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: If he's no doubt, no doubt, and and his and

255
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: knows all the guys in the room. They've all played

256
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: with him. Phillips has played with him. Talk He's played

257
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: with him. So it makes a lot of sense not

258
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: scores again. But would not surprise me in the least

259
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: to see that happen if it if it is able

260
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: to do, if Browns were able to do so, all right,

261
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,040

Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski. No update. I think we'll know more as

273
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: week goes on. Yeah, j ok, yeah, I gotta get

274
00:15:54,480 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: to Wednesday to see where everybody is. What was on

275
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: the bike? That just the biceps. It was bugging a

276
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: correct thoughts on on your opponent this week. And then

277
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: Balkons like their team. That's yeah. I think it's a

278
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: good team, well coached, um good players across the board.

279
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: I hadn't watched it this morning and and diving into

280
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: the scheme. I think it's really sound on all three

281
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: sides of the ball. So it's gonna be a big

282
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: challenge for us. I think him a lot, but you know,

283
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: given this greater opportunity without Anthony, Um, do you think

284
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: that's something he really embraces and looks forward to. Yeah,

285
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: without a doubt. Jacob's a very competitive young man. Uh,

286
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: played well in the last ball game. We're gonna need

287
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: him to continue to ascend and play and you know,

288
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: get better in those type of things. But he's Uh,

289
00:16:54,400 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: he's definitely somebody that's excited about the opportunity. So Jacoby's

290
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: confidence kind of rise or maybe vice versa yours game.

291
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think so, I really don't. I

292
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: think it's a a lot of what we see on

293
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: Sundays or whatever Thursdays are the culmination of work pretty simple.

294
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: In the off season, that made a lot of calls

295
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: to people about Jacobe and you're really impressed with some

296
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: of the things that that we're said. Is there any

297
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: conversation that it sticks out specifically related to that, Uh,

298
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: not anything specific or specific person, Jake, but you call

299
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: former teammates, former coaches, those type of things and just

300
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: get a feel for the person. I mean, when you're

301
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: looking at any player, there's tape, and you can watch

302
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 1: the tape, but that doesn't tell the full story. You

303
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: gotta get to know the person as well. Was there

304
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: a through line that, like everybody kind of said this

305
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: one specific thing about him different atatchebates the date? Yeah. Again,

306
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: I think kind of all the things we've talked about,

307
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 1: he's a bro uh good teammate. He's been been through

308
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: a lot, He's been in a bunch of different situations.

309
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: Like we've talked about the experienced and strange situations. But

310
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: did were you guys draw to his demeanor as well?

311
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 1: He seems to be the same guy all the time. Yeah.

312
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: I mean I think that's a good trait to have

313
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: for quarterback, backup quarterback, starting quarterback. I think that's that's

314
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: good because you do go through so much in this league,

315
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: week to week, quarter to quarter, those type of things.

316
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: So I think it's a good trade from the field

317
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: on Thursday, just what did you see, you know, kind

318
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 1: of watching it and and how much the kind of

319
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: the month, you know, he was practicing a lot leading

320
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: up to it, how much did that make kind of

321
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 1: a seamless transition back? I thought he played well, Uh,

322
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 1: it looked like the old Jack to me, and he's

323
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: he was playing very physical. Um, he's looked good at

324
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: in practice. I mentioned you guys, he's stronger than I

325
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: think he's ever been. I think he's really he worked

326
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: so hard this uh whole offseason, So good to see

327
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: him out there. We're gonna make a special emphasis or

328
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: do anything more on special teams this week to sort

329
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: of shore some of that up or is it just

330
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: business as us Well, I think we need to get

331
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: better in a bunch of different areas on our on

332
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: our football team. There's certainly things that we feel like

333
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: we can clean up. Uh, And that's part of what

334
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: today was. Really. We had a couple of special teams

335
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 1: periods out there working on some things and a lot

336
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: of it always goes back to technique and fundamentals. Allo

337
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 1: sides of the ball for years have always seemed to

338
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: be a problem here. But this year, you guys are

339
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: doing really well one for on the offensive side average

340
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: and close to fifty percent and on the defensive side

341
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: you're hold enough to blow Just what do you attribute

342
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: that early success? Yeah, I mean the guys who doing

343
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: a nice job. You gotta be careful on all statistics

344
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: in a small sample size uh, this early in the season.

345
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: But you know, offensively, I think it helps to be

346
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: in shorter distances. I think that really has been a

347
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: thing to look at, especially in this last game. But

348
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: then it just comes down to I think the guys

349
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: are operating really well. I think, you know, I don't

350
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 1: want jenxit, but I don't think we have any operational

351
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: penalties on offense in that game, and I think that

352
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: is important. Uh, And then is even more important when

353
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: you go on the road like we are this week.

354
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: And then defensively, you know, in those situations on third down,

355
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 1: understanding where they're trying to go with the ball and

356
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: having a counter to that. So the guys have a

357
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: good understanding, uh, right now on what we're trying to

358
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: get done. When you have a drive on Thursday night

359
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: like you did that one where you ran ten times

360
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: um on eleven plays, is deciding to run the ball

361
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: that much? Does it kind of feel? Is that? Do

362
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: you go into the drive thinking this is what we're

363
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: gonna do. How do how do you balance that? Yeah?

364
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 1: I think you know we've mentioned this before. You go

365
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 1: into every game trying to run and throw it. You're

366
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: trying to just any which way move the ball. When

367
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: you get into a second half situation, when you feel

368
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 1: the run game is starting to get close to breaking,

369
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 1: you know, a run here or there, um, you give

370
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: the guys an opportunity to do that. Having said that,

371
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: it opens up opportunities in the past games. That's where

372
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: you talk about that marriage of the run in the past,

373
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: it's really they serve each other. Uh. And in a

374
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: the situation you're talking about that, I think that the

375
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: guys were just really coming off the ball. I think

376
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: that we talked a lot about the physicality of that game.

377
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: We knew that's what it was gonna be, and I

378
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: think we saw that our guys were really upfront tight

379
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:37,239
Speaker 1: ends were coming off the ball. They're all fun when

380
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: you're scoring. If it ends in six plus one, it's

381
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: they're all fun. You got with with the injury to Walker,

382
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: do you feel that you're down to the kind of

383
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: pro bon at linebacker you got one on practice you

384
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 1: need at least to find out we're talking about. Yeah,

385
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: we're talking through all those things, Tony. I think that's

386
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 1: the nature of the NFL, as we all know, you

387
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: get into certain weeks and you're all of a sudden

388
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 1: you you felt good about your depth and the next

389
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 1: thing you know, you're out two guys. Whatever it may be.

390
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: So we'll continue to look at those type of things.

391
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: But the guys that are here are getting a ton

392
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: of reps. Feel very comfortable with with the group that

393
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: we have. Chester Rogers, he has the audition. Yeah, I

394
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: thought he did a nice job in some tough conditions

395
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 1: the other night in the wind. Uh so overall, did

396
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 1: a nice job. We'll see where we go this week.

397
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 1: The actively uh Demitric on on Thursday, what was what

398
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: was kind of behind that? Yeah, I wanted to give

399
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: Chester an opportunity as as the punt returner there, Um,

400
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: you know that was for that week. We'll see if

401
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: that's the direction we go this week. But Demetrics, a

402
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: good football player is going to make a bunch of

403
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: plays for us this season. All right. That's Brown's head

404
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: coach Kevin Stefanski at the podium. Some updates for this

405
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: Brown's football team on what we saw out there back practicing.

406
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: Jedrick Wills was a little bit banged up and missed

407
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: a few snaps against Pittsburgh, but did return to that game.

408
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: Brown's left tackle was practicing today, as was safety Ronnie Harrison,

409
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: who remember was a late scratch injured in the pregame

410
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: warm up. Good news is not a significant injury and

411
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: he is back for the Browns. And he's somebody that,

412
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: especially against a team like this with a tight end

413
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: like Kyle Pitts, a team that will run a lot

414
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,199
Speaker 1: of two tight end looks, do you like to have

415
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: the option to have that big nickel And Ronnie Harrison

416
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 1: certainly feels that Bill fits that bill for the Cleveland Browns.

417
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: So good news that he is back. Not out there

418
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 1: at all in any way, shape or form today for

419
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: the Browns. Jadevion Clowney and defensive tackle Taven bryan and

420
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 1: Taven Bryant has been very good for the Browns. He's

421
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 1: second on the team in pressures so far this season.

422
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: So that's a big one and and one certainly to monitor.

423
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: And that was one that it happened in the game,

424
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: but in the moment, like you maybe you didn't realize

425
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: it or you didn't know the severity of it, and

426
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: then it's just like, oh, wait, he did get hurt,

427
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: you know, because everybody, everybody remembers the Walker one and yep,

428
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 1: you know when j o'kate, you know suffered what what

429
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: he suffered, and you're just kind of like, oh, yeah,

430
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: I forgot about Tim, But you're right, Brian's been playing

431
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: really really well for this football team. Yeah, if you

432
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: go in on kind of the full season, look at

433
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: it for the Cleveland Browns going to the defensive side

434
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: of the ball. Uh right, Now, here's your your team leaders.

435
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: You've got fifteen pressures Miles Garrett and the three sacks.

436
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 1: Then it's Taven Bryan with it, and then Anthony Walker

437
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 1: with eight and we know Anthony Walker on injured reserve now.

438
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: Then Jadevian Clowney with six, and so that's a big

439
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: You know, Taven Bryant has been playing good football for

440
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: this team, and certainly in his ability to get around

441
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: and disrupt the quarterback, that's something to keep an eye in.

442
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: You know. J Ok has had such a phenomenal year

443
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 1: so far for the Cleveland Browns. He is out the

444
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: groin kept him on a bike, um and then Betonia

445
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,479
Speaker 1: with the bicep. But Joe Betonia should be good to go.

446
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 1: The thing is that, you know, Kevin to Fancy said,

447
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,160
Speaker 1: we're not ready to rule anybody out at all. Will

448
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: have to see how this thing progresses. But you want

449
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: to be healthy here, and look, this is something that

450
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: everybody in the NFL is dealing with, honestly, But you

451
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: hope to be able to go into Atlanta at full

452
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,479
Speaker 1: strength and be able to go ahead and put your

453
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: best foot forward and get to that three and one

454
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: number that we had talked about so much for these

455
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 1: first four games. All right, when we come back here

456
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: on Cleveland Browns Daily, we will go around the NFL.

457
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: We'll talk about some of the games from Sunday, take

458
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: a look specifically at the a f C North games,

459
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,640

483
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: give egg. Did you over the weekend take any time

484
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: to make anything, any meals of food or anything like

485
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: that that the people should know about. No, my fabulous

486
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: wife booked us a nice little airbnb in the middle

487
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: of nowhere, oh baby, a little bit south of Toledo

488
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: and Perrysburg. Okay, so between Toledo and like bowling green

489
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: um in a place it was called Waterville. Uh and

490
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: just outside of Waterville is a place called Grand Rapids, Ohio.

491
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: So this is a romantic getaway. She got us a

492
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: little cabin right on the Mammie River. Like literally the

493
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: backyard was the Mammie River. That's how cool. It was awesome,

494
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: it was great. They allowed the dogs, so we took

495
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 1: the dogs with us UM and then we were kind

496
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: of like looking up things to do, like we're getting excited,

497
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: you know, it's like we're what trouble can we get into?

498
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 1: Because my wife is pretty good at UM and she

499
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: found us there was a festival going on in downtown Waterville.

500
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 1: They had an outdoor beer garden and bands playing all afternoon.

501
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: Like they knew you were coming right on the water.

502
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 1: What am I gonna do? You're not not going? Yeah,

503
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 1: walked around, took the dogs back home, then went and

504
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 1: watched Ohio State and that game lasted approximately twenty one

505
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 1: minutes and uh generous at that so not not great.

506
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 1: So we we ate out. It was I mean, we

507
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 1: had the opportunity we could cook it cook there and

508
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,479
Speaker 1: it's hard to go grow shoving a story if if

509
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: you're there more than like forty eight hours and there's

510
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: more than just two of us, fine, but otherwise, let's

511
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: enjoy the way. We found some great little, great little

512
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: gems and some good eats and all right, and you

513
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: were telling me about this. I saw your wife on

514
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: Instagram post something. Yeah, she posted, so she posted the stew.

515
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: But then she also the next day like made a

516
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: little stew hash cover a little Frida egg, which she

517
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: was very pleased about for brunch yesterday. So yeah, I

518
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: don't know why, but you know, I wake up and

519
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: and one of the first things I think about is like,

520
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: all right, what am I going to make for dinner

521
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: that night? I get very excited about it. And so

522
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: on Saturday, Um, I knew we were we were going

523
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: to stay home. We had Bryce Arden was out babysitting,

524
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: so she's she's crushing it. It's just the only part

525
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: it's hard for me. I just we don't get to

526
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: see her as much because she's always got either plans

527
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: or babysitting and seen, I know it's not as cool

528
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: anymore to hang out the old dad, but that's all right. Um,

529
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: So I don't know, but I was like, I woke

530
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: up and I was like, you know what I want.

531
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: I was had a taste for lamb. So I was like,

532
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: I want to make a lamb stew. And so I

533
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: looked up and I found this great kind of like

534
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: a French recipe um and you know, it's nothing for

535
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: it's very much. It's a it's a stew. It's got

536
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: some I would have the meat, it would have a

537
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: bunch of garlic, um, onion, carrots, little celery that was

538
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: my own ad right there, um, a bunch of mushrooms,

539
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: red wine, beef broth. And then I cooked it in

540
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: the you know, I did everything in the Dutch oven.

541
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: But at first, you know, just kind of saute everything.

542
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: And I got some duck fat to saute the meat

543
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: and so I was pumped about that. So that added

544
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: another depth of a flavor. Uh. And then you were

545
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: able you know a bunch of herbs and spices and whatnot,

546
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: and then in the oven for like two hours in

547
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: the Dutch oven. At like three after everything was like

548
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: going and it was amazing. But I wanted some lamb.

549
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: And you know, with everything going on supply chain issues

550
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: this that whatever, there was no lamb three different places

551
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: my three go to places for lamb, nearly none of

552
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: the hinans adam uh. And then I called a couple

553
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: of the places. Nobody had any any of the lamb

554
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: because you need like lego lamb boneless like a lamb,

555
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: or you need like lamb shoulder for like the stew meat.

556
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: But they did have veal, and I was like, I

557
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: guess we're gonna make a veal stew then, because why not?

558
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: That sounds It was amazing. I think the lamb suit

559
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: would also be good because Lamb definitely has its own

560
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: like the gamey flayer. But I can't wait to make

561
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: this again. I can't wait to make it again with Lamb.

562
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: It was awesome like I had it, and then I

563
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: had it for brunched. The next day it was growing

564
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: great with a bloody mary on top. That was all

565
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: for her. Listen, that's that was she got to have it.

566
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: Blame my Blame my preschool. I went to this preschool

567
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: and they would make me eat a hard boiled egg

568
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: every single day, and like they would make me sick.

569
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: I know it's different, I know it's different, but it's

570
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: just like an egg is an egg to me, Like

571
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: I'm and listen, I tried one. Vince CONDI made me

572
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,479
Speaker 1: at his dad's house to try an Egger sandwich because like, no,

573
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: you don't get it. This is the best thing ever.

574
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: It was like, you know, something like I don't know

575
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: about that bread and a Friday egg. It was like

576
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: a Friday sandwich that they like loved and I was like, yeah,

577
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: I took it my I was very nice. I'm like, yeah,

578
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: not for me. It's not for me. Eggs themselves are

579
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: not for me. But that's okay there for a lot

580
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: of people. Two eggs over easy, over some homemade biscuits

581
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: and gravy Saturday morning. Oh yeah, I'm sure that was.

582
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: You're loving it and need something you would have liked.

583
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: You would have liked this stew, I'm telling you. Oh,

584
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: and there are potatoes in it, obviously, some red skined potatoes,

585
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: you do, okay, red skin like chopped up small like

586
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: like small ones cut in half. They're like I tried

587
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: to get ones that were like all about like real small.

588
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: I'm telling you what it was. It was bonkers, Like

589
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: I can't believe how good it was. I was like

590
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: so pumped, like two cups of wine, four cups of

591
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: beef broth, the freshest time. If I do lamb, I'll

592
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: put some fresh rosebries that my own roseberry bush. Love it.

593
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: I can't get it. You're for you like and that

594
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: trust me. If I'd been home in a heartbeat, you'd

595
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: be all over it. You'd be all over I'm a

596
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: big fan of the whole cooking the year. Oh yeah,

597
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: little would have gotten used, maybe a little grill, maybe

598
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: a little smoker. Everything outside it sounds likeful. And then

599
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: though Sunday night, I like to do this in football season,

600
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: it's weird Sunday night. I love Chinese food, and only

601
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: in football season. And I like Chinese food all the time,

602
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: but like I don't really get it. We don't get

603
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: Chinese food very often. But on a Sunday night football

604
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: season's like the I love. It's the best to which place?

605
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: No orders? Um, always a moose shoe, pork pot stickers.

606
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: I love a Wanton soup for sure because it's got

607
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: basically in the soup. Um always a moshoo. Sometimes a noodle,

608
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: but no noodle. Last night, a beef with broccoli kayleb

609
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 1: and I never had four and you're gonna be like

610
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: what I've never had orange chicken before really, but we

611
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: got it without the bread and meat because you want breadvious.

612
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: We got orange chicken last night, and then a sa

613
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: Chuan prons which was delightful, pretty good. It is good.

614
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: It's such a different taste from everything else, though, so

615
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: that it's hard to like. I like to put it

616
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: all like one bowl and mix everything a round, but

617
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: it needs to be eaten totally separately. But it was

618
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: very good. It was good. That's awesome. Man, I gotta

619
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: go get in the gym, right, not me? Yeah? Well,

620
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,720
Speaker 1: b well, I love you, alright, I'm fine, right, nothing

621
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: to see here? Good? Yeah, at least that's what the

622
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 1: docs keep telling. Yeah, exactly, exactly, all right. Some news

623
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: from around the NFL. The NFL announced this morning that

624
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: it's replacing the Pro Bowl with a flag football game

625
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 1: in a series of skills competition dubbed the Pro Bowl Games. Duh,

626
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 1: how long we've been saying this for ever? It's great,

627
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: ever is the answer. I find it interesting though, that

628
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Peyton Manning and O Mahaw Productions kind

629
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 1: of spearheading this. This could go in a number of

630
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: different directions. I feel like, yeah, no doubt, I think

631
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 1: First of all, it's gonna be fun. It's gonna be

632
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. I think it's gonna be great

633
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: to see. And it says feature events that showcase players

634
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: in football and non football skills Spain type like I'd

635
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 1: love to watch an NFL player done contest. I'd love

636
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: to see that. That would be great. I'd love to

637
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 1: see quarterbacks, throwe kickers doing the stuff that they can

638
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:07,479
Speaker 1: do with the ball. I'd love to see all this stuff.

639
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: I think it's great. I love it. I love it.

640
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: I'm I'm all in. That has increased my excitement for

641
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl in general and that week like a hundredfold. Yeah.

642
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: Well and now, And I thought Peyton said it best.

643
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 1: I read a quote from him this morning in the

644
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 1: release and it was just, you know, it's it's it's

645
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: a great time to honor players, and it's a you know,

646
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 1: it's an opportunity for the players and their families too

647
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: to go somewhere and be reckoning, like and we still

648
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: want to you still want to take advantage of that,

649
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 1: So like give them the opportunity. This is an opportunity

650
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: for everybody to get together, for everybody to compete in something. Yes,

651
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: and just to have a good time. And I think

652
00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 1: they're gonna have fun. Yes, that's what I think. I think.

653
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: I think everybody involved is gonna like, I think it's

654
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: a it's a huge win. It's a huge one. Much

655
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: like the NBA All Star Game. Half of the fun

656
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 1: is what's going on before that, right, Like, it's what's

657
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: going on, you know, to make it three points, dunks,

658
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: the skills challenges, all of that, that stuff that goes

659
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: on around it. I think that's what's so cool. That's

660
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: what I'm into that, that's what I'm all about. A

661
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: little Absolutely, let's let's let's go with some games of

662
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: let's go with some darts, some beer, ESPN type games

663
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: because you Sese people compete, and they will compete and

664
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 1: they're gonna look. Yeah, I think that this is I

665
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 1: think this is a massive, massive win for the NFL,

666
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: massive win for the NFL. UM, all right, let's go

667
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 1: through this late yesterday real quickly, because I know we

668
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: got a lot of stuff to get to here on

669
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: today's program. But we'll go through yesterday real quickly. Um,

670
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: early games. We'll start with, you know, in our division,

671
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: Baltimore six, Big News, the Mac Jones injury. Lamar Jackson

672
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 1: continues to be spectacular, teen passing four touchdowns, ran for

673
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: a hundred and seven and a touchdown. J K. Dobbins

674
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: made his return. Seven carries twenty three yards, two catches seventeen.

675
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,720
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews continues to be a force, so Lamar Jackson.

676
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 1: Through twenty seven targeted passes yesterday, thirteen of them went

677
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: to Mark Andrews. Eight catches, eighty nine yards, two touchdowns.

678
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 1: Not too shabby, No, not too shabby. Yes. On the

679
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: other side for New England, one thing that's interesting about

680
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: our matchup potentially with Baltimore. New England ran all over them.

681
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: Twenty eight carries, hundred forty five yards, three touchdowns on

682
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: the ground. Mac Jones through for three one but through

683
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: three picks before getting injured. Davante Parker five six. But

684
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: fantasy wise, Romande Stevenson, guy that I was big on

685
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: as a little bit of a sleeper, is he overtaken

686
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: Damien Harris. He did in this game. So that's something

687
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on that there. But I mean,

688
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:02,359
Speaker 1: the story now becomes mac Jones says a while he's

689
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: hoping to avoid surgery. Is the latest story continues to

690
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 1: evolve here, and none of it's positive. If you're in

691
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: New England fan, no, when you say I'm hoping to

692
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 1: avoid surgery, it means that surgery could potentially be on

693
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: the table. And if that's the case, you know, he's

694
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: obviously out for a while. But this feels like a

695
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 1: four to six week injury. If it is a one

696
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: to three week injury, if he misses the next three games,

697
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: then he would miss the game with the Browns. But

698
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: even so, it would be my guests would be if

699
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: he were to play against the Browns, it would be

700
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: he would be coming back like that week. Yeah, that's

701
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: definitely something to watch here, you know, and impress. Ravens

702
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: continue to impress. Ye they do, and it's they could

703
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: be three and oh they they much like we did.

704
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: They absolutely let one get away and their two and one,

705
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: and then the Bengals in our division got their first

706
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: win of the season. Borrow twenty three, thirty six to

707
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 1: seventy five, three touchdowns uh Tyler Boyd four for one

708
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: oh five touchdo te Higgins had five and the first

709
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: half got knocked out of the game on an insane

710
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: hit and then was able to come back and did

711
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: well Jamar Chase scored six catches only twenty nine yards,

712
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: So that's odd um for the Jets. I think of

713
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: the game to he did he lost the fumble for

714
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: the Jets Flaco five two picks, no touchdowns after throwing

715
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: forward against the Browns week before that, Um Tyler Conklin

716
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 1: for eighty four the tight end and then Garrett Wilson

717
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: had ten ten targets, six catches fifty sixty yards. Breese

718
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:38,280
Speaker 1: Hall six targets, eleven targets, six catches fifty three yards

719
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:39,839
Speaker 1: Briest Hall when they turned it over to him. That's

720
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 1: the guy who I think, like we're gonna be talking

721
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,800
Speaker 1: about him in the last eight games of the season.

722
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 1: Is a fantasy stud. Not yet, not yet, not yet, patients,

723
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 1: put him on your bench, just leave him there, leave

724
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: him there. But I but I really, I do believe

725
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: that it's the time is coming. Yeah. Well, there were

726
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: two things in the Jets game, did I see correctly?

727
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 1: The defense to lineman for the Jets. Yeah, I don't

728
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: know what was that? Have we heard anything more about that? No,

729
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: I have not heard anything more. Was it? Quentin Williams

730
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,240
Speaker 1: Quinnin Williams and their D line coach and Quinny Williams

731
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 1: looks like he was like, I'm gonna like and the

732
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 1: D line coach was like, let's go. You want to

733
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: get it on, Let's go, which no, but it was

734
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 1: and then bro get into it with his with his

735
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: QB coach or O C or something that I didn't

736
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 1: see that I did not say. I thought I saw

737
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 1: something about that as I was prepping here today. Yeah,

738
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 1: that I did not see. I know that he had

739
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: a very solid game and a solid win. So that's

740
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: what happened in the a f C North. We can

741
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: talk about some more stuff around the league as the

742
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: show goes on. We'll take a quick break and then

743
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: hit Kareem Hunt up. I believe actually Jacob Phillips will here. Okay, well,

00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: Jacob Phillips next, then two o'clock Jim Donovan to potentially

749
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:23,280
Speaker 1: with you and with the unfortunate injury to Anthony Walker Jr.

750
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: It was time for Jacob Phillips to step up, and

751
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: he did so against the Pittsburgh Steelers, had the team's

752
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,359
Speaker 1: lone sack, had a big p bu later to force

753
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 1: a field goal, and was really all over the field. Well,

754
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna need Jacob Phillips to be all over the

755
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 1: field a lot going forward, as he is now the

756
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: starting MIC linebacker for your team. Coming off a game

757
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 1: in which he led the team and tackles against the

758
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 1: Steelers with seven. As I mentioned, he had the sack,

759
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: a tackle for a loss, a past defense, and a

760
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: quarterback hit. Phillips now moves into prime time, and he

761
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: spoke with the media earlier today. Very tough, you know obviously,

762
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,439
Speaker 1: you know in our room, really like on the team.

763
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: You know, we help him in high regard and uh

764
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: you know he was a great teammate. Uh you know,

765
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: obviously when you lose good players on the team, Uh

766
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's like you know, you wish it

767
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't happen, but uh, you know, play football long enough,

768
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: you know injuries is gonna happen, and uh you know

769
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 1: he'll get through this, and uh you know, prayerfully and Uh. Uh,

770
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,800
Speaker 1: we're just gonna, you know, keep going. And it sounds

771
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,320
Speaker 1: like Jake Green and take the green dot over. So

772
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:28,240
Speaker 1: making the calls? Have you already talked to Anthony about

773
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 1: maybe some nuances that like how prepared do you feel

774
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 1: to be able to to make off the calls or whatever? Yeah,

775
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: so I've been every time you've seen me in the

776
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: game since my rookie year, I've had the green dot.

777
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: So uh, it's like really nothing new. Uh So I

778
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 1: had to degree in our last game. Every game and

779
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: uh obviously gained like you know, different things you know,

00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: uh you know how to uh I guess best, like

823
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 1: up to the plate. Uh, you know when they called

Speaker 1: very well coached in our room. You know, everybody gets

828
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 1: the same coaching the whole time. You know, we all

00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: get rest on practice. So uh you know, obviously we're

830
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,879
Speaker 1: gonna miss him for sure, but you know, I feel

831
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:34,800
Speaker 1: like I'm confident in my guys. Well good example of

832
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: your brain yea, yeah, yeah, you know, I think it's

833
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: just uh like a testament to like you know, uh

834
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,959
Speaker 1: like athletically, you know, what what I can do. Uh,

835
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,320
Speaker 1: And you know it's just like when you get that confidence,

836
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: you know, you play play loose, play fast and uh

837
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:54,319
Speaker 1: you know you have just put it on tape. You

838
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:57,399
Speaker 1: think this Browns team is surprising some people. I mean,

839
00:45:57,920 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: the whole off season is on the thing you know,

840
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:07,799
Speaker 1: starts right now. Uh you know that would be for

841
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 1: y'all to decide. Uh. You know, as a as a

842
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: player here, you know, we keep our keep our blinders on.

843
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 1: You know, we stay focused. Uh you know, old things

844
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: were really you know, taking the account as you know,

845
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,239
Speaker 1: what's said in the locker room and uh you know,

846
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 1: so we trust each other. You know, we're gonna fight

00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 1: for each other and put in the work in the

848
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 1: hours and off season with each other and uh you know,

Speaker 1: we just uh we just got one goal on Sundays

850
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,280
Speaker 1: and that's to win. What are some of the challenges

851
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 1: of defending quarterback? Like yeah, yeah, you know, obviously he's

852
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:40,800
Speaker 1: a scrambler. Uh you know, he's the experienced quarterback. You know,

853
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: we've seen different defenses before. Uh you know, they have

854
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 1: an ever explosive offense, so uh, you know it's just

855
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: gonna be you know, everybody playing sound everybody you know, uh,

Speaker 1: thanks for joining us here today. How is the weekend

874
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 1: free of football? Unless you chose to sit down and

875
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 1: watch some of that out there on the Ponderosa. I

876
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:14,800
Speaker 1: have to admit I did. I did plant myself yesterday.

877
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:19,439
Speaker 1: It was very interested to watch New England Baltimore, UH

878
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 1: and the battle between Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers. So Saturday, no,

879
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: I was out doing things. Had a great day Saturday,

880
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 1: great time Saturday night. But yesterday I was kind of

881
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 1: intrigued to watch what what what was going on around

882
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 1: the landscape of the league, because you know, we're kind

883
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:37,840
Speaker 1: of zoned. You know what's going on here, and you

884
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: want to see what's going on out there in the

885
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 1: h as far as the rest of the NFL. So

886
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 1: I got a pretty good picture of it yesterday. You

887
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: certainly did, and you started mentioning Baltimore, New England. That

888
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 1: was a game I was able to watch a lot

889
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:54,320
Speaker 1: of on Sunday. Uh. Lamar Jackson continues to impress to

890
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 1: n eighteen yards, passing four touchdowns, ran for a seven

891
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. As that was. That was a fun

892
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:02,239
Speaker 1: game to watch, a lot of back and forth, a

893
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 1: lot of drama. Looked like the Patriots were gonna have

894
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: it and then they gave it back away. But what

895
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:09,360
Speaker 1: jumped out to you about the R A f C

896
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 1: North foe the Baltimore Ravens, Well, it's amazing because Lamar Jackson,

897
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:18,919
Speaker 1: at any point in the football game, even if it's

898
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: a bumpy segment of the game for Baltimore offensively or

899
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:26,800
Speaker 1: just overall offensively or defensively, how he can just grab

900
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 1: the game and kind of take it over himself individually,

901
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:33,919
Speaker 1: get a big first down, get a game breaking type run,

902
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 1: and get them back into the end zone. Whether he

903
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: does it or he throws the past his his passing

904
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:44,359
Speaker 1: game has really improved through the years as you watch him.

905
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:47,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he is definitely much better of a thrower

906
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,279
Speaker 1: of the football than he was when he first came in,

907
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:51,839
Speaker 1: where he was really a guy that ran that could

908
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: sometimes throw. But the other thing that impressed me and

909
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 1: I would hope that the Browns could do this. If

910
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 1: you noticed yesterday Baltimore, Steve and you know, at times

911
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:03,880
Speaker 1: got pushed around a little bit, not by but they

912
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:07,359
Speaker 1: always came up. They always came up with big turnovers.

913
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: They had the big interception in the end zone. They

914
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: had the big knock away by Kyle Hamilton's on on

915
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 1: the plate at Aglare that seemed like it had the

916
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:17,840
Speaker 1: Patriots down the field, And I think that's the one

917
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 1: thing that's missing, you know, from the Browns defense right

918
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 1: now is they're unable to get turnovers. And as you

919
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 1: know we mentioned on the air the other night, you

920
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:28,439
Speaker 1: brought it up. You know, there have been a ton

921
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:30,879
Speaker 1: of balls on the ground in the way of fumbles,

922
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 1: but we haven't been able to capture those. And we

923
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 1: have the interception by delpit uh and I know, you

924
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 1: know Denzel Ward got that bumble recovery at the game,

925
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 1: but that's kind of a flukey. I think that they

926
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 1: would really help themselves, Nathan, because Baltimore did yesterday by

927
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 1: coming up with turnovers if that faucet could get turned on,

928
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 1: because I know that's how it starts. Really seems like,

929
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 1: all of a sudden in one game you get four

930
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 1: and then things start going. Yeah, that's how the formula

931
00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: the Browns used to beat Cincinnati in Cincinnati last year.

932
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:01,360
Speaker 1: They got the pick six earl and then all of

933
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 1: a sudden, it's you know, three turnovers later, you've got

934
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 1: a nice comfortable win. But you're right, three interceptions for

935
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,799
Speaker 1: that Ravens defense, and they were also able to get

936
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 1: a fumble on that one, so four takeaways from them

937
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:13,439
Speaker 1: and even go back and look at the Ravens against

938
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:15,719
Speaker 1: the Jets. They were able to get takeaways in that game,

939
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:18,280
Speaker 1: and so you're right, I think that's a very important

940
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 1: thing that the Browns defense needs to be able to do. Now,

941
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 1: the big news coming out of this game from a

942
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:27,680
Speaker 1: Brown's perspective, the injury to Mac Jones. Says he will

943
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:31,239
Speaker 1: miss significant time with that high ankle sprain. And now

944
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:33,880
Speaker 1: you have to wonder, is Mac Jones the quarterback of

945
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 1: the Patriots when they come here in a few weeks, Well,

946
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:40,760
Speaker 1: it could be another homecoming. It could be, right, Mr Robinsky,

947
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 1: the other night, we should have Brian Hoyer coming back in.

948
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:45,359
Speaker 1: I mean, he seems like he might be the next

949
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 1: guy up. The kid that they have is it Jappy?

950
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:52,240
Speaker 1: Is that his name? That's that's their third singer. Yeah,

951
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 1: I know he played a lot in the preseason, but

952
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're you know, ready to elevate him. Um,

953
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 1: you know, Matt Johns, is it really he had such

954
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 1: a great game against US last year. I mean that's

955
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:07,719
Speaker 1: probably his best game of the year last season came

956
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 1: against US where he threw everything and they caught everything

957
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,319
Speaker 1: that he threw and he had a great great ball

958
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 1: game in that blowout, So, um, yeah, that's gonna be

959
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 1: a big doctor. That could be a real death knell

960
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,759
Speaker 1: to their season because, um, you know, I think that

961
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 1: they need him to play well, and there were parts

962
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 1: of the game yesterday where he was playing well and

963
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 1: they were in the lead, are very close to the lead.

964
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 1: But if he misses a significant amount of time, I

965
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 1: would think that would be a major problem for them.

966
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:36,880
Speaker 1: And if they came here and he wasn't playing and

967
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer was in there as a quarterback, Um, I

968
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 1: love Brian, but I mean I think that the Browns

969
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:44,799
Speaker 1: would definitely, you know, have a have a better time

970
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 1: defending against him rather than Matt Jones. You're exactly right

971
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:51,759
Speaker 1: talking with the voice of the Browns, Jim Donovan. So

972
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:53,360
Speaker 1: we go around the a f C North hoping for

973
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:55,399
Speaker 1: a little bit of help there. We didn't get any

974
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 1: from the Patriots, we did not get any from the Jets.

975
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:00,320
Speaker 1: And so the Jets of now, who opened by sickly

976
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 1: just in our division, they beat us, but they have

977
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:06,240
Speaker 1: lost to both the Ravens and now the Bengals twelve.

978
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:08,440
Speaker 1: And it looked like Joe Burrow kind of got his

979
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 1: mojo back throwing the football. Yeah he did. Uh. You know,

980
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:14,400
Speaker 1: that's what I don't know about you. That's a difficult

981
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:17,160
Speaker 1: game for me to even look into and watch because

982
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 1: of what happened the week before. It's just hard to

983
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 1: still swallow the fact that they've just got the better

984
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,400
Speaker 1: of us, or we got the better of ourselves or whatever.

985
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:27,840
Speaker 1: But um, yeah, I mean that was I think that

986
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 1: I think that they you know, Cincinnati certainly at some

987
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 1: point and definitely that was a you know, that was

988
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 1: the right game for them yesterday to get going once

989
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:40,319
Speaker 1: again and get themselves going and get Joe Burrow going.

990
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 1: I mean, that's too talented a team to be looking

991
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 1: at Owen three, which is really a bad way to be.

992
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't want to be the Raiders today

993
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:51,279
Speaker 1: at Ohen three. Uh. And the Bengals certainly didn't want

994
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 1: to be there. There's a lot of football left for them.

995
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 1: There's a lot of talent on that team. But it

996
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:58,279
Speaker 1: really kind of tells you that the division is really

997
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 1: wide open. You know, Nathan, everybody that's talking at the

998
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 1: beginning of the at the beginning of the season about

999
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 1: all the super teams, you know, Buffalo super Team, Kansas

1000
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 1: City still that kind of team Cincinnati, you know, super

1001
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:14,240
Speaker 1: team Chargers, and you know, everybody's having their own little

1002
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:17,759
Speaker 1: problems in some way. The real surprise is Miami being

1003
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:21,399
Speaker 1: at three and o right now. It is, and they've

1004
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 1: done it beating the Ravens. They've done it beating now

1005
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills in a dramatic game and featured the

1006
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:30,360
Speaker 1: first ever butt punt you had for a safety. You

1007
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:32,440
Speaker 1: had a bunch of crazy things going on in that one.

1008
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:36,879
Speaker 1: But you're right, and Denver has looked dreadful, frankly, even

1009
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 1: though they find they've found ways to win, you know,

1010
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 1: their last two, and honestly probably should feel like they

1011
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 1: should be three and o after the loser in the

1012
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 1: opener in Seattle. But this a f C, and we're

1013
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:50,400
Speaker 1: starting to see injuries and our opponent Week five, the Chargers,

1014
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 1: Herbert's clearly not a percent. They lose their great left

1015
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:57,280
Speaker 1: tackle for the season, Rashaan Slater, and then Joey Bosa

1016
00:54:57,360 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 1: goes out with a groin injury, so you wonder how

1017
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:01,879
Speaker 1: long he will be out. But it is wild to see.

1018
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:04,759
Speaker 1: I think this a f C, just everybody kind of

1019
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 1: beating everybody up because there is a lot of talent

1020
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 1: certainly in this conference. There really is, and I think

1021
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 1: that that's probably the way it's gonna play up. That

1022
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:16,759
Speaker 1: you can beat anybody, and you know, on a particular

1023
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 1: Sunday especially, it helps wise you go into a game

1024
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:22,240
Speaker 1: and you're okay, and you can get through that gaming.

1025
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 1: You're not losing significant people. I mean we're not only

1026
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:27,960
Speaker 1: talking about quarterbacks getting dinged up, and but we're talking

1027
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:30,560
Speaker 1: about offensive lineman and really, I mean, as we saw

1028
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:33,400
Speaker 1: last year, when your offensive line gets banged up. I

1029
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 1: mean the Browns offensive line is a great, great unit.

1030
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 1: But when you start subtracting from that unit one by

1031
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:41,920
Speaker 1: one and a guy can't practice, can't play on a Sunday,

1032
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:45,360
Speaker 1: it really changes everything that you can do. Uh, it

1033
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 1: changes all of your plans, your game plan, and I

1034
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:49,839
Speaker 1: think a lot of teams are getting hit with that,

1035
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:53,280
Speaker 1: you know, just three weeks into the season, so um

1036
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 1: it is it really is wide open. I mean you

1037
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:58,400
Speaker 1: take a look, Nathan, Uh, what a difference Doug Peterson

1038
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 1: has been going into the Jackson I mean they just look,

1039
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 1: you know, just so different than the way they looked

1040
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 1: last year with Urban Meyrons there coach and you know,

1041
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:12,360
Speaker 1: I think some people rather too quickly we're saying, I

1042
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:14,319
Speaker 1: don't know Trevor Lawrence. You know, he may not be

1043
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 1: what everybody thought he was gonna be. He looks every

1044
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:18,879
Speaker 1: bit what you know a lot of people think he's

1045
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 1: going to be right now, and just with some organization

1046
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:24,960
Speaker 1: and some sound coaching, uh, you know, things turn around.

1047
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 1: It's incredible. And one of the stats that I came

1048
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 1: across today while you know, just kind of going through

1049
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:33,520
Speaker 1: things and getting ready and I did watch that game

1050
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:36,760
Speaker 1: in Lawrence was phenomenal. Here's like a physicist from Warren

1051
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 1: Sharp of Sharp Football. In the wins of more than

1052
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 1: twenty one points by the Jacksonville Jaguars from two thousand

1053
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:45,720
Speaker 1: and eighteen to two thousand and twenty one sixty five games,

1054
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 1: they won by more than twenty one points zero times.

1055
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:53,400
Speaker 1: In two they've already won twice by more than twenty

1056
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:56,359
Speaker 1: one points. It's just a stunning turnaround. And it shows

1057
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:58,880
Speaker 1: how much coaching matters, and also getting you know, Trevor

1058
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 1: Lawrence in a situation Asian that is healthy and positive

1059
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 1: for him, and they're playing phenomenal football. I mean that

1060
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:07,239
Speaker 1: was just that was a beating from the opening bell

1061
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 1: against the Chargers. Yeah, it really was. And if you

1062
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:12,799
Speaker 1: go back that one year where they were like three

1063
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 1: and a half minutes away from going to the super

1064
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 1: Bowl and they're in Foxbor and remember that was a

1065
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 1: great defensive I mean, that was a team that if

1066
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 1: they were going to get there, they were going to

1067
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 1: get there by defense, and they almost did that day.

1068
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 1: They really had Tom Brady pretty bottled up throughout most

1069
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 1: of that afternoon until finally, you know, he got loose

1070
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 1: and the and the Patriots squeaked by. But that was

1071
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 1: not an offensive That was not an offensive juggernaut. That

1072
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 1: was Leonard four net defense. It certainly was. All right,

1073
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:44,440
Speaker 1: let's go back to Thursday, because it's kind of crazy

1074
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 1: to think that it was only eight days ago we

1075
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:48,440
Speaker 1: had that game against the Jets. It feels to me

1076
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 1: like it's almost been a week since we played the Steelers.

1077
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 1: But what did happen Thursday night? First Energy Stadium, twenty

1078
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:58,440
Speaker 1: nine to seventeen. I thought it was a tremendous environment

1079
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 1: that night, and the Brown showed a lot of resilience

1080
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:03,440
Speaker 1: coming off of that collapse to come back and get

1081
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:06,680
Speaker 1: a huge win over a division rival. Oh it was

1082
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:09,480
Speaker 1: um and um, you know, there was some tension I

1083
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 1: think walking into that stadium. I mean, how were they

1084
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 1: going to react to what had happened a real collapse

1085
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 1: in the last minute from the previous Sunday. UM, and

1086
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 1: they came out and I thought, offensively, they were really

1087
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:24,920
Speaker 1: good all night long. And for a lot of people.

1088
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:28,320
Speaker 1: Um that said, going into the season, you know, maybe

1089
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:31,560
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski should give up calling plays and just be

1090
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 1: the head coach and turn it over to Alex van Pelt.

1091
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:37,200
Speaker 1: And I don't have any lack of confidence in Alex

1092
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 1: van Pelt, but I have to tell you something, Kevin

1093
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 1: Stefanski is really setting up and and putting together and

1094
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:48,320
Speaker 1: then implementing some tremendous game plan. Their construction of their

1095
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 1: running game and what they're doing with that running game

1096
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:53,760
Speaker 1: and getting the most that they can't, squeezing everything they

1097
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 1: can out of those two running backs. It is really

1098
00:58:57,120 --> 00:59:00,080
Speaker 1: something to watch. It's beautiful to watch, really. UM And

1099
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 1: Jacoby Burcette has been amazing. I mean he really has.

1100
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:04,400
Speaker 1: Whereas we thought we were gonna have to put a

1101
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:07,520
Speaker 1: bit around him and kind of spoon feed him, uh,

1102
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:09,920
Speaker 1: you know, to get him through these games. When for

1103
00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, that is in the case at all. No,

1104
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:16,440
Speaker 1: and and he's made big throw after big throw. He's

1105
00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 1: been brilliant the last two weeks. What's kind of surprised

1106
00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:21,280
Speaker 1: you about Jacoby or what has kind of stood out

1107
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 1: to you as being like, oh, I opening about his

1108
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 1: performance is certainly in the last two home games. Well,

1109
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:29,720
Speaker 1: not that I watched a lot of him in his

1110
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 1: previous years in the NFL. I mean, you know, he

1111
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:33,960
Speaker 1: was a good story. I remember when he came in

1112
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:36,440
Speaker 1: and he played for Brady when he was suspended in

1113
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 1: New England. I remember when he beat the Brons in Indianapolis.

1114
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:43,080
Speaker 1: But I really, you know, didn't follow him a great deal.

1115
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 1: I mean I knew of him. Um. I just think

1116
00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:49,960
Speaker 1: the week to week improvement and the fact that he

1117
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:53,280
Speaker 1: just runs the offense. Um. And I know he's I

1118
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 1: know that Kevin speaks of this, and everybody else that

1119
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:59,440
Speaker 1: has coached him says that he's really a coaches dream

1120
00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:01,960
Speaker 1: because he just wants to do what you want him

1121
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,840
Speaker 1: to do. And I think that they feel that they

1122
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:07,080
Speaker 1: have a good offensive game plan each week, all right,

1123
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:09,480
Speaker 1: go out and run it, and he does and he

1124
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:12,560
Speaker 1: runs it very very well. Um, he doesn't really put

1125
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:14,960
Speaker 1: the ball in peril at all. When he needs to

1126
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 1: make a play, he makes a play allah all those

1127
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 1: quarterback sneaks, which we couldn't do a year ago because

1128
01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:24,200
Speaker 1: of the physical injuries to Baker Mayfield. Um, but I

1129
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 1: just think watching him grow into it, I think it's

1130
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 1: a great marriage right now. I think that this offense,

1131
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 1: he likes it, he feels comfortable with it. They feel

1132
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 1: very comfortable with him, and that's been long standing, going

1133
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 1: back to the off season when they wanted to get

1134
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 1: him in the first place. So I think the thing

1135
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 1: that impresses me the most is just what a great

1136
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:46,840
Speaker 1: leader he is. And you know, he's a big, tough

1137
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 1: guy out there that can really when you need it,

1138
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:51,680
Speaker 1: he can get you the six inches of the yard

1139
01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:54,080
Speaker 1: in a critical point in the game. After all, quarterback

1140
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 1: snaks are usually a very critical play, believe it or not.

1141
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:01,800
Speaker 1: They're always for conversions are always very important. And you

1142
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:03,720
Speaker 1: know he right now is is one of the best.

1143
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:05,320
Speaker 1: I had somebody who's telling me the other day, I

1144
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 1: think he is thirty five for thirty six in his career,

1145
01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 1: and I know we already have six six first downs

1146
01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:13,920
Speaker 1: due to his quarterbacks. He almost ran one in from

1147
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:17,240
Speaker 1: eleven yards on a quarterback sneak in that game against

1148
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:20,640
Speaker 1: the Steelers you mentioned in the afternoon Brady and Rodgers,

1149
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:23,360
Speaker 1: which was an interesting game. I don't know, I wouldn't

1150
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:25,880
Speaker 1: call it an exciting game per se if you like

1151
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:28,880
Speaker 1: offensive football. But going on at the same time, our

1152
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 1: opponent this week, the Atlanta Falcons in Seattle, looking for

1153
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:34,840
Speaker 1: their first win, which they got in the game that

1154
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:39,200
Speaker 1: actually was fairly dramatic to twenty three. And this is

1155
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 1: a team that on paper does not look great, but

1156
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:46,040
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota can be efficient as a quarterback. Cor Darrel

1157
01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:48,160
Speaker 1: Patterson's running the ball very well. And then you've got

1158
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:51,600
Speaker 1: two giants in Kyle Pitts and Drake London. So kind

1159
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:54,480
Speaker 1: of an interesting offense that was on display there in

1160
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:58,760
Speaker 1: this twenty three win over Seattle. Yeah, I agree with you, Um.

1161
01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:01,360
Speaker 1: And the thing is, you know, Nathan, I think Arthur

1162
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:05,280
Speaker 1: Smith is another guy that probably doesn't get enough credit

1163
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:08,280
Speaker 1: for being a really good offensive mind. I mean, I

1164
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:10,640
Speaker 1: remember when he came in as the offensive coordinator, and

1165
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 1: I think the game against the Browns that year in

1166
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:14,440
Speaker 1: the opener might have been his first game as the

1167
01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:17,520
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, first regular season game I wish he didn't

1168
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:25,560
Speaker 1: have that screen pass, right, But I mean, I really

1169
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:29,400
Speaker 1: think that you know, he he likes he's like our guy.

1170
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:31,439
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that they do a great job

1171
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 1: with the offense. So I think that he probably takes

1172
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:37,440
Speaker 1: a look at Marcus Mariotta, who he had in Tennessee,

1173
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 1: um and says, Okay, this is let's make this work.

1174
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 1: This is how we're gonna do it. Just follow me

1175
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 1: and what I'm calling, and have trusted me, and and

1176
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 1: I'll get you into the right call and then and

1177
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:50,280
Speaker 1: I think that's what they're doing right now. And as

1178
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 1: you said, they have enough of the components of playmakers

1179
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:56,680
Speaker 1: out there that they can they can score some points.

1180
01:02:56,680 --> 01:03:00,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, this this looks like a very very you know,

1181
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,840
Speaker 1: tough test, good test for the Browns on Sunday to

1182
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:05,840
Speaker 1: get to that magic number of three and one. I

1183
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:08,280
Speaker 1: know everybody looked at the first four games at this

1184
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:10,840
Speaker 1: season and said, all right, in a perfect world, four

1185
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:13,200
Speaker 1: and on okay, but we didn't get there. But three

1186
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 1: and one would be you know, the magic numbers. So

1187
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:18,240
Speaker 1: we can get there with a road win on Sunday.

1188
01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 1: And but I don't think we can waltz in there

1189
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 1: and just think, you know, same old Falcons of the

1190
01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:25,960
Speaker 1: last few years. It looks like they're on the looks

1191
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:28,440
Speaker 1: like they're on the rise a bit. They are. It

1192
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:30,520
Speaker 1: is going to be a tough game. And as we know,

1193
01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:33,120
Speaker 1: the weather going on down in Florida, and we hope

1194
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:35,240
Speaker 1: everybody stay safe down there, will make its way up

1195
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:36,920
Speaker 1: to Atlanta around the time that we go in there

1196
01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:39,480
Speaker 1: on Saturday. So, Jim, knowing that you're the kind of

1197
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:41,720
Speaker 1: flyer that I am as well, I'm sure you're gonna

1198
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:44,280
Speaker 1: be checking the weather making sure we're not flying any

1199
01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:48,080
Speaker 1: crazy winds or anything of that nature. Oh, I know,

1200
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 1: and it's only it's only Monday. I'm gonna have to

1201
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 1: follow the track of this pig the entire week. Yes, hopefully, Look,

1202
01:03:56,840 --> 01:03:58,720
Speaker 1: if we have to have a white knuckler at some

1203
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:01,320
Speaker 1: point this weekend, I trust them to get us on

1204
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:03,880
Speaker 1: the ground safely and then maybe Sunday can be relaxing

1205

Speaker 1: for us inside of the Mercedes Benz Dome down there

01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:40,440
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's nice to have a few days

1228
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 1: not to do anything. So it's gotta feel pretty good.

1229

Speaker 1: To know, you guys already got the win and you

1230
01:05:44,640 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 1: can just sit. I think that's one of the best thing.

1231
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:49,880
Speaker 1: I'm glad we can get it over with. You know.

1232
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:51,880
Speaker 1: It sucked that, you know, we get a short week

1233
01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:54,840
Speaker 1: of practice and stuff, but other than that, it's nice

1234
01:05:54,880 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 1: to be able to chill on Sunday too. I mean, yeah,

1235
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:04,360
Speaker 1: those as did a good job, but you know, just

1236
01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:07,000
Speaker 1: trying to fit and plug all the holes and stuff

1237
01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:09,680
Speaker 1: like that. They they gotta tackle, you know, chub and

1238
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:12,160
Speaker 1: night for four quarters. I mean, I gotta be pretty,

1239
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:16,000
Speaker 1: you know, tough on your body, anything special and specific

1240
01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:20,120
Speaker 1: to kind of you know, uh, you know, you're just

1241
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:22,320
Speaker 1: being a good leader man and making the plays that

1242
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:27,400
Speaker 1: we need and just coming in and you know, leading us,

1243
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:29,640
Speaker 1: and that's what we need. A guy like that who're

1244
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:35,200
Speaker 1: gonna you know, make the throws and do his part

1245
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:37,880
Speaker 1: in some pays. Was a pretty natural transition he started

1246
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:40,360
Speaker 1: getting in front of out. Oh yeah, you know, you

1247
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:42,280
Speaker 1: can see what type of guy he is. You know,

1248
01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:45,000
Speaker 1: he leads by you know, going out there and playing

1249
01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:48,240
Speaker 1: hard and you know by coaching guys up to he's

1250
01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:50,520
Speaker 1: been he's been up to a lot of different teams

1251
01:06:50,520 --> 01:07:02,640
Speaker 1: and seeing a lot of different things too. Uh. I mean,

1252
01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:04,080
Speaker 1: I feel like he's a guy who got something to

1253
01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:06,680
Speaker 1: prove too, and he wants to win. And he's a

1254
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:09,640
Speaker 1: guy who weakened this you know. You know, I helped

1255
01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:14,920
Speaker 1: take some pressure off him too, think it. I think

1256
01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:16,440
Speaker 1: it was a good play, but we should have had more.

1257
01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:27,400
Speaker 1: But it's all good. After the keeper usually he was

1258
01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:29,840
Speaker 1: fired up. Man. I love seeing that when he's playing

1259
01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:32,360
Speaker 1: with that fire on him, and you know, it's gonna

1260
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:38,560
Speaker 1: be hard to be a guy like that. You guys

1261
01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 1: have some kind of discussion about them at all, are

1262
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:48,680
Speaker 1: you nah? He took that out my playbook. It's all

1263
01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:51,360
Speaker 1: good now. I'm just messing with him though. And Nick's

1264
01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:53,320
Speaker 1: a heck of a you know, tell back. He can

1265
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:55,800
Speaker 1: do that stuff too, So you know, I love to

1266
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:57,680
Speaker 1: see when he does it. That's you know, it gets

1267
01:07:57,720 --> 01:08:12,760
Speaker 1: me pumped and excited. Lead good Russian leading teams. I mean, yeah,

1268
01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:17,080
Speaker 1: I guess that's you know, individual goals for us. But

1269
01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:20,599
Speaker 1: like I said, next year, that led the league already,

1270
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:23,080
Speaker 1: I believe. I mean, it was like two years ago.

1271
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:25,800
Speaker 1: I feel like he had it. But there was a

1272
01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:29,320
Speaker 1: two hundred yard game from Derrick Henry, So I mean

1273
01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:32,160
Speaker 1: you know, Nick, he deserved it. He brings it every

1274
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:34,040
Speaker 1: time he touches the field. And you know, I like

1275
01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:42,080
Speaker 1: having a guy like that attending game, don't. Yeah, definitely,

1276
01:08:42,120 --> 01:08:48,280
Speaker 1: I definitely helped really bomb drive, guys, go on. It's

1277
01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:52,160
Speaker 1: become a consistent thing here where you're putting together those

1278
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:55,439
Speaker 1: ten and Lemon twelve play drive. Just how much fun

1279
01:08:55,479 --> 01:08:58,400
Speaker 1: are those walking the ball down the fields way you

1280
01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:01,080
Speaker 1: guys do? I mean, it's it's very fun because that

1281
01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:04,080
Speaker 1: helps us get more swings after you know, play. You know,

1282
01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:08,040
Speaker 1: it helps us uh m hmmm, put points on the

1283
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:12,120
Speaker 1: board and keep the you know, defense fresh and stuff

1284
01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:15,000
Speaker 1: like that, time of you know, taking care of the ball,

1285
01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:21,839
Speaker 1: time of possession. All right, that's Brown's running back. Kareem

1307
01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:53,760
Speaker 1: do have to ask you about one question. On Instagram,

1308
01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:57,880
Speaker 1: your profile photo photo, you're looking jacked, bro? Is that recent?

1309
01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:01,320
Speaker 1: What's going on there? No? No, that's super old. That's

1310
01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:06,280
Speaker 1: like um job, that's from I think sixteen or seventeen.

1311
01:11:06,320 --> 01:11:09,599
Speaker 1: I haven't changed that in ages. Why would you you're

1312
01:11:09,640 --> 01:11:12,960
Speaker 1: looking at like a like an absolute monster in your

1313
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:16,639
Speaker 1: Cleveland Guardians. Yeah. Yeah, like dad told me to take

1314
01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:18,400
Speaker 1: a you know too. He was taking a picture of

1315
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:20,000
Speaker 1: me when I was visiting home from l A. And

1316
01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:22,600
Speaker 1: he said, uh flex And I said, okay. You know

1317
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:27,240
Speaker 1: when your dad tells you all right there, it is beautiful, beautiful.

1318
01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:30,920
Speaker 1: Let's talk Brown's two and one. Brown's absolutely feel like

1319
01:11:30,960 --> 01:11:32,759
Speaker 1: they should be three and oh. We know what happened

1320
01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:34,760
Speaker 1: against the Jets was not good. But what did you

1321
01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:37,280
Speaker 1: make of their ability to bounce back and and and

1322
01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:39,360
Speaker 1: be led by Jacoby Brisett to a big win over

1323
01:11:39,400 --> 01:11:42,320
Speaker 1: the Steelers. Well, thank god for a short week, right,

1324
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:44,400
Speaker 1: I mean, if there was ever a time to have

1325
01:11:44,400 --> 01:11:46,439
Speaker 1: a Thursday night game, it's coming off of that collapse

1326
01:11:46,479 --> 01:11:48,640
Speaker 1: in week two. I mean, they could very easily be

1327
01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:51,519
Speaker 1: three and oh. Unfortunately, they could very easily be one

1328
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:53,920
Speaker 1: and two right now as well because of the marketing victory.

1329
01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:56,519
Speaker 1: How close it's been in these games, because if you

1330
01:11:56,520 --> 01:11:59,160
Speaker 1: look at the Steeler game is the final, but it's

1331
01:11:59,160 --> 01:12:01,880
Speaker 1: really twenty three team. Um, but you have to feel

1332
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:03,400
Speaker 1: good about the fact that you're two and one. You're

1333
01:12:03,400 --> 01:12:05,599
Speaker 1: two and one, and Jacoby Brissette has played very good

1334
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:08,759
Speaker 1: football at at a difficult position. And in a difficult

1335
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:11,439
Speaker 1: situation the last two games. I mean, you know, I

1336
01:12:11,439 --> 01:12:13,880
Speaker 1: don't think that they will. I still, in my mind

1337
01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:15,400
Speaker 1: think that they should have beaten the Jets and they

1338
01:12:15,439 --> 01:12:17,160
Speaker 1: could be three and o right now. So if you

1339
01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:19,639
Speaker 1: if you count that in, I mean, they don't get

1340
01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:22,040
Speaker 1: that position without the way that Brissette has played in

1341
01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:24,400
Speaker 1: the last two games, and especially on Thursday night. You know,

1342
01:12:24,439 --> 01:12:27,000
Speaker 1: he came up in the clutch in multiple instances. There

1343
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:29,360
Speaker 1: was the handful of sneaks he had on on fourth

1344
01:12:29,400 --> 01:12:31,559
Speaker 1: and one. The last one I thought was fantastic where

1345
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:33,439
Speaker 1: he split over a gap because he knew that they

1346
01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:34,960
Speaker 1: were going to be filling the a gap. That was

1347
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:37,960
Speaker 1: just a savvy veteran move. And the other point really

1348
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:40,920
Speaker 1: is the execution of well time play calling. That third

1349
01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:43,800
Speaker 1: and one throw to a Maria Cooper over the middle,

1350
01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:46,200
Speaker 1: a great call by Kevin's the fancy and a great

1351
01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:48,960
Speaker 1: job of Brissette executing it to perfection. The only thing

1352
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:50,559
Speaker 1: he could have done better on that on that play

1353
01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:52,040
Speaker 1: was lead the ball a little bit in front of

1354
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:53,519
Speaker 1: a Marie Cooper, because if he did that it probably

1355
01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:55,719
Speaker 1: would have been a touchdown. But it's still paid off.

1356
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:57,439
Speaker 1: So you have to feel really good about the way

1357
01:12:57,439 --> 01:13:00,479
Speaker 1: he's handled this situation. He's looking better then he has

1358
01:13:00,920 --> 01:13:04,479
Speaker 1: probably since he filled in for Andrew Luck in Indianapolis. Uh,

1359
01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:07,519
Speaker 1: you know, he's He's exactly what you expected or what

1360
01:13:07,560 --> 01:13:09,360
Speaker 1: you hoped for when when you signed him in the

1361
01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:10,920
Speaker 1: off season. So you have to be really happy about that.

1362
01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:13,000
Speaker 1: You also have to be very happy about the way

1363
01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:15,120
Speaker 1: the offensive line in the ground game has been working.

1364
01:13:15,160 --> 01:13:17,240
Speaker 1: They have been able to control every game they've been

1365
01:13:17,240 --> 01:13:19,760
Speaker 1: into this point because of the rushing attack, whether it's

1366
01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:22,479
Speaker 1: been Nick Chubbley in the way Kareem Hunts sprinkled in,

1367
01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:25,280
Speaker 1: it's a powerful attack. It's built with that offensive line,

1368
01:13:25,320 --> 01:13:28,200
Speaker 1: that Bill Callahan offensive line that has blocked really well.

1369
01:13:28,280 --> 01:13:31,479
Speaker 1: Even with guys missing a tackle, they still played really

1370
01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:33,640
Speaker 1: well to this point. So, um, you have to be

1371
01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:35,759
Speaker 1: encouraged by what you've seen from your offense. You've gotten

1372
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:38,800
Speaker 1: thirty points in Week two, you've got twenty six, and

1373
01:13:38,800 --> 01:13:40,960
Speaker 1: week when you got twenty nine and weeks three. Those

1374
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:44,160
Speaker 1: are winning totals and that is not expected, I think

1375
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:46,280
Speaker 1: from this team going into the season. So you have

1376
01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:48,519
Speaker 1: to feel good about it. Now. You and I both

1377
01:13:48,520 --> 01:13:50,840
Speaker 1: know the Gauntlet starts in about a week, you get

1378
01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:53,519
Speaker 1: past Atlanta and you've got quite a tough schedule ahead.

1379
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:55,880
Speaker 1: But again, this is a team that's built to be

1380
01:13:55,920 --> 01:13:57,679
Speaker 1: able to control the game and stay in those games

1381
01:13:57,720 --> 01:14:00,400
Speaker 1: as long as they avoid the backbreaking mistakes, which they've

1382
01:14:00,479 --> 01:14:02,080
Speaker 1: really not committed to this point. Do you have to

1383
01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:05,240
Speaker 1: be excited? Yeah, we're right now. We're kind of looking

1384
01:14:05,280 --> 01:14:08,240
Speaker 1: at a situation where the Chargers, you know, we saw

1385
01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:11,599
Speaker 1: they just lost Rashawn Slater, justin Herbert's banged up, Bosa

1386
01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:13,240
Speaker 1: has banged up that we don't know if the Patriots

1387
01:14:13,280 --> 01:14:15,280
Speaker 1: are gonna have mac Jones by the time they get here.

1388
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:18,000
Speaker 1: So an ever evolving NFL landscape, And also true for

1389
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:19,920
Speaker 1: the Browns who lose Anthony Walker and what I think

1390
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:21,680
Speaker 1: was a big, big loss there. But I want to

1391
01:14:21,680 --> 01:14:24,160
Speaker 1: go back something you talked about with his Brown's offense.

1392
01:14:24,320 --> 01:14:27,480
Speaker 1: Jacoby is doing a great job. But what's your assessment

1393
01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:29,759
Speaker 1: of of just kind of the scheme and the play

1394
01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:32,200
Speaker 1: calling right now of Kevin stefanis because from where I sait,

1395
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:33,600
Speaker 1: I feel like he's on a little bit of a

1396
01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:37,000
Speaker 1: heater right now. Yeah, he's definite. Only here the involvement

1397
01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:38,680
Speaker 1: of Amari Cooper in the last two weeks has been

1398
01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:41,000
Speaker 1: a great example of that. You know, Mary was kind

1399
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:42,679
Speaker 1: of a non factor in Week one. They were able

1400
01:14:42,720 --> 01:14:45,040
Speaker 1: to win that game, but he wondered, you know, when

1401
01:14:45,120 --> 01:14:46,640
Speaker 1: is he going to get involved? And he's been a

1402
01:14:46,720 --> 01:14:48,599
Speaker 1: huge part of the offense last two weeks. They've schemed

1403
01:14:48,680 --> 01:14:50,719
Speaker 1: him open, and he's schemed him open on touchdown passes

1404
01:14:50,720 --> 01:14:52,680
Speaker 1: that he caught in the last couple of games, and

1405
01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:55,280
Speaker 1: he's become a very productive and important part of this offense.

1406
01:14:55,600 --> 01:14:57,959
Speaker 1: You know that you don't have the highest ceiling Jacoby

1407
01:14:57,960 --> 01:14:59,839
Speaker 1: in the way that he you know, just is physically

1408
01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:03,360
Speaker 1: gifted as a quarterback, but they've maximized that because of

1409
01:15:03,360 --> 01:15:06,120
Speaker 1: the way that they've They've taken advantage of Mark Cooper's skills,

1410
01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:08,599
Speaker 1: especially down distance situations. The other thing I really loved

1411
01:15:08,600 --> 01:15:11,960
Speaker 1: this in the role that David Njoko has played. He

1412
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:13,840
Speaker 1: was a huge part of that went on Thursday night.

1413
01:15:14,040 --> 01:15:16,240
Speaker 1: I kept waiting for the Steelers go into halftime and

1414
01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:18,479
Speaker 1: adjust and slide Minka down and try and pick off

1415
01:15:18,520 --> 01:15:20,960
Speaker 1: one of those passes and make it. Was a non factor,

1416
01:15:21,040 --> 01:15:22,920
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of that is credit to

1417
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:25,519
Speaker 1: both Jacoby being able to identify where he is before

1418
01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:28,320
Speaker 1: the snap and also Kevin Sansky scheming out of the game,

1419
01:15:28,479 --> 01:15:31,320
Speaker 1: you know, avoiding going to wherever Manko was and trusting

1420
01:15:31,320 --> 01:15:33,320
Speaker 1: that his veteran quarterback would be able to execute. So

1421
01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:36,680
Speaker 1: I really love that the ground game is is what

1422
01:15:36,720 --> 01:15:39,080
Speaker 1: you expect. I've also loved you know, sprinkling it a

1423
01:15:39,120 --> 01:15:41,200
Speaker 1: little bit of you know, Anthony Schwartz around the edge

1424
01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:42,559
Speaker 1: every once in a while, you know, trying to get

1425
01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:45,479
Speaker 1: him involved as much as possible, uh, considering the fact

1426
01:15:45,479 --> 01:15:47,760
Speaker 1: that he's still inexperienced as a receiver. So you know,

1427
01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:50,479
Speaker 1: this is not the most talented offense, at least a receiver,

1428
01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:53,040
Speaker 1: but you have really taken advantage of the weapons that

1429
01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:55,800
Speaker 1: you have. Of course that starts with Nick Chubb and uh,

1430
01:15:55,840 --> 01:15:57,640
Speaker 1: and yeah, he's definitely been on the heater. I think

1431
01:15:57,680 --> 01:16:00,000
Speaker 1: in the last two weeks al right, from one team

1432
01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:01,960
Speaker 1: maybe not the most talented at wide receiver in the

1433
01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:05,000
Speaker 1: NFL either, but also two and one and they've scored

1434
01:16:05,280 --> 01:16:08,920
Speaker 1: ninety nine points in their three games. The Baltimore ravens

1435
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:12,320
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson bet on himself and right now it looks

1436
01:16:12,320 --> 01:16:15,720
Speaker 1: like he's holding a lottery ticket. He's been sensational. What

1437
01:16:15,760 --> 01:16:18,240
Speaker 1: do you make of this Ravens team, and is this

1438
01:16:18,360 --> 01:16:23,720
Speaker 1: sustainable what we're seeing right now with Lamar? I think yes,

1439
01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:27,040
Speaker 1: I do um And the reason is Greg Roman. You

1440
01:16:27,080 --> 01:16:29,120
Speaker 1: wanna talk about somebody's gonna here. Greg Roman has been

1441
01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:32,760
Speaker 1: on the heater as an offensive coordinator because we know

1442
01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:35,400
Speaker 1: the narrative has been surrounding the Ravens last couple of years.

1443
01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:38,040
Speaker 1: They're predictable. They're a great running team, but they can't

1444
01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:40,720
Speaker 1: throw the football. Well, let's throw in the football, my friend.

1445
01:16:40,720 --> 01:16:43,439
Speaker 1: They're putting it all over the field. Lamar Jackson throwing

1446
01:16:43,439 --> 01:16:45,920
Speaker 1: from the pocket really effectively and showing off that arm.

1447
01:16:45,960 --> 01:16:47,800
Speaker 1: Now he's he perfect when it comes back. You know,

1448
01:16:48,040 --> 01:16:50,479
Speaker 1: he misses some throws, he makes a mistake here and there,

1449
01:16:50,880 --> 01:16:53,479
Speaker 1: but more often than not, he has been very good

1450
01:16:53,479 --> 01:16:55,519
Speaker 1: from the pocket and also extending to play, which we

1451
01:16:55,560 --> 01:16:57,760
Speaker 1: always expect from him. The other important part of that

1452
01:16:57,800 --> 01:17:00,360
Speaker 1: offense is the development of the receivers. Devin Ever, they

1453
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:03,320
Speaker 1: had a heck of a day yesterday against the Patriots,

1454
01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:05,479
Speaker 1: and Rashad Bateman is starting to live up to the

1455
01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:07,759
Speaker 1: hype that we all heard about going into the last season.

1456
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:09,840
Speaker 1: So those two guys have stepped up. You know what

1457
01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:11,840
Speaker 1: you get out of Mark Andrews, who's an elite tight end,

1458
01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:14,400
Speaker 1: and you combine all of that with Lamar's ability, and

1459
01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:16,160
Speaker 1: then the ground game kind of getting going. You know,

1460
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:18,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're on the same page with me here.

1461
01:17:18,280 --> 01:17:20,479
Speaker 1: One guy I really love in their backfield is Justice

1462
01:17:20,600 --> 01:17:25,080
Speaker 1: hill Man. He's a smaller back but Helos. They don't

1463
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:26,760
Speaker 1: run him a lot. They don't run him a lot,

1464
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:28,880
Speaker 1: but when they do, Man, I love watching them un

1465
01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:30,800
Speaker 1: the football. So you conbind him with Dobbins, who's just

1466
01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:32,839
Speaker 1: making his way back from his own injury he suffered

1467
01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:35,360
Speaker 1: last year. Nice little one to punch, and they running

1468
01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:37,559
Speaker 1: running element of Lamar. They got a lot of different

1469
01:17:37,560 --> 01:17:40,479
Speaker 1: ways they can go about attacking and opposing defense, and

1470
01:17:40,479 --> 01:17:42,160
Speaker 1: they're going to continue to put up points. The only

1471
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:44,880
Speaker 1: question is is can they avoid the mistakes that they've

1472
01:17:44,880 --> 01:17:47,000
Speaker 1: made that have allowed to the teams to stay in games.

1473
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:49,360
Speaker 1: Miami was capitalizing in Week two and they came back

1474
01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:51,720
Speaker 1: and won that game. New England had multiple chances to

1475
01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:54,760
Speaker 1: take the lead in that game yesterday and just didn't execute.

1476
01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:56,200
Speaker 1: So I think that a lot of their games are

1477
01:17:56,200 --> 01:17:57,880
Speaker 1: going to be close, but they are going to put

1478
01:17:57,960 --> 01:17:59,679
Speaker 1: up a lot of points. We'll see if their defense

1479
01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:01,840
Speaker 1: can fall all of suits. Yeah, it does feel like that.

1480
01:18:01,880 --> 01:18:03,840
Speaker 1: If there is an achilles heel right now, it is

1481
01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:05,840
Speaker 1: that defense in New England really could run the ball

1482
01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:08,320
Speaker 1: all over them. So through a Browns lens, you know,

1483
01:18:08,360 --> 01:18:12,120
Speaker 1: you feel pretty positive about that aspect. Uh. The Bengals

1484
01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:14,439
Speaker 1: finally got their first win yesterday as we stay here

1485
01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:16,920
Speaker 1: in the a f C North and a team that

1486
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:19,160
Speaker 1: was just too talented to stay down for long. But

1487
01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:22,559
Speaker 1: something just still doesn't quite look right with them to me,

1488
01:18:22,600 --> 01:18:26,400
Speaker 1: what about you? Um it starts their off at one. Uh.

1489
01:18:26,479 --> 01:18:28,519
Speaker 1: You know, we talked about the sacks in the first

1490
01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:30,280
Speaker 1: couple of weeks in the season this year. I think

1491
01:18:30,280 --> 01:18:33,439
Speaker 1: you sacked thirteen or fifteen times, fifteen times dating back

1492
01:18:33,479 --> 01:18:36,200
Speaker 1: to the playoffs last year. Um, and he was their

1493
01:18:36,240 --> 01:18:37,880
Speaker 1: last four games or something like that. That was the

1494
01:18:37,920 --> 01:18:40,320
Speaker 1: thing that they supposedly upgraded in the off season. They went,

1495
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:43,559
Speaker 1: got Leo Collins at right tackle, they addressed the interior,

1496
01:18:43,560 --> 01:18:45,479
Speaker 1: everything was fine, and then they end up playing a

1497
01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:47,400
Speaker 1: rookie left guard to start the season and he's been

1498
01:18:47,479 --> 01:18:49,640
Speaker 1: exposed in the first two games. And I haven't been

1499
01:18:49,640 --> 01:18:51,960
Speaker 1: able to go back and watch yesterday's game yet, but

1500
01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:53,640
Speaker 1: I can tell you from the first two games that

1501
01:18:53,680 --> 01:18:56,000
Speaker 1: I saw from them, Bell Collins has not lived up

1502
01:18:56,040 --> 01:18:59,840
Speaker 1: to the advertising. He got absolutely owned by his former

1503
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:02,880
Speaker 1: made Michael Parsons in Week two, who also dominated Jona

1504
01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:05,080
Speaker 1: Williams off the edge. Because Parsons is just a menace.

1505
01:19:05,160 --> 01:19:08,040
Speaker 1: But that's gotta get together. You gotta protect him efficiently

1506
01:19:08,280 --> 01:19:11,679
Speaker 1: and effectively consistently enough to allow that offense to really thrive.

1507
01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:13,960
Speaker 1: You give credit to Joe Burrow for trying to make

1508
01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:15,880
Speaker 1: the most of the situation. He had a terrible start

1509
01:19:15,920 --> 01:19:17,640
Speaker 1: to the season against Pittsburgh in Week one. He was

1510
01:19:17,640 --> 01:19:19,880
Speaker 1: a little bit better against Dallas, and they finally get

1511
01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:22,040
Speaker 1: to win yesterday. So I think they get back on

1512
01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:24,439
Speaker 1: track over time. It's just that it's not as easy

1513
01:19:24,439 --> 01:19:26,880
Speaker 1: as you expect. And we also know that what happens

1514
01:19:26,880 --> 01:19:28,720
Speaker 1: to teams to lose the Super Bowl, they tend to

1515
01:19:28,760 --> 01:19:30,559
Speaker 1: have a little bit of a slump in the following season.

1516
01:19:30,560 --> 01:19:32,599
Speaker 1: A lot of them don't even make the playoffs. It's

1517
01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:34,719
Speaker 1: gonna be a tough roadback to the playoffs to the Bengals,

1518
01:19:34,760 --> 01:19:36,639
Speaker 1: not just because they're one in two extra three games,

1519
01:19:36,640 --> 01:19:38,320
Speaker 1: but because the a f C is loaded and I

1520
01:19:38,320 --> 01:19:40,080
Speaker 1: think they're gonna run into a couple of really tough

1521
01:19:40,120 --> 01:19:42,960
Speaker 1: teams in Baltimore and surprisingly Cleveland. Now when they play

1522
01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:45,439
Speaker 1: the Browns, brown still gotta get that defense in order.

1523
01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:46,679
Speaker 1: I know they got it in order in the second

1524
01:19:46,720 --> 01:19:48,880
Speaker 1: half against Pittsburgh, but that's not quite the litmus test

1525
01:19:48,920 --> 01:19:51,759
Speaker 1: that you want to measure yourself up against the true contender.

1526
01:19:51,960 --> 01:19:53,600
Speaker 1: So that's gonna be a work in progress. But the

1527
01:19:53,600 --> 01:19:56,040
Speaker 1: Browns can control the game on the ground, as they've

1528
01:19:56,040 --> 01:19:58,040
Speaker 1: done in their first three games. Now, great, that's week eight,

1529
01:19:58,040 --> 01:20:00,880
Speaker 1: we're talking about Halloween. That's a little bit of way. Uh,

1530
01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:02,800
Speaker 1: then they're gonna have a shot in that game. I think.

1531
01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:05,439
Speaker 1: So interesting to see where the Bengals go from here.

1532
01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:08,120
Speaker 1: Russ start, if you can get that offensive line figured

1533
01:20:08,120 --> 01:20:09,599
Speaker 1: out as they were supposed to use, and I think

1534
01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:12,080
Speaker 1: they'll be back to where they were. But man, nothing

1535
01:20:12,160 --> 01:20:14,240
Speaker 1: is guaranteed in this in this league, you know. It's

1536
01:20:14,240 --> 01:20:16,439
Speaker 1: that's what makes my job so difficult is I'm picking

1537
01:20:16,439 --> 01:20:17,920
Speaker 1: games every week and people have to come at me

1538
01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:20,280
Speaker 1: on Twitter and be like, hey, you screw this pick up.

1539
01:20:20,400 --> 01:20:23,120
Speaker 1: Oh you had the you had the Chiefs beating the Colts,

1540
01:20:23,240 --> 01:20:25,240
Speaker 1: you had the Chargers beating the Jags. What did you do?

1541
01:20:25,280 --> 01:20:27,760
Speaker 1: You screwed up? It's like, well, this league pretty unpredictable.

1542
01:20:28,120 --> 01:20:29,920
Speaker 1: Just when you think you know a little bit, suddenly

1543
01:20:29,960 --> 01:20:31,920
Speaker 1: you realize you don't know anything at all. So we

1544
01:20:32,040 --> 01:20:33,840
Speaker 1: gate is a long way from now. Hopefully the Browns

1545
01:20:33,840 --> 01:20:37,679
Speaker 1: can stay healthy and give a good shot against the Bengus. Yeah,

1546
01:20:37,720 --> 01:20:40,880
Speaker 1: it's it is a long season, and yes, it is

1547
01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:43,920
Speaker 1: an unpredictable league. That's for sure. Our final team here

1548
01:20:43,960 --> 01:20:46,760
Speaker 1: in the FC North, the Steelers at one and two.

1549
01:20:47,160 --> 01:20:50,800
Speaker 1: It just looks to me like at some point they've

1550
01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:52,880
Speaker 1: got to make a change a quarterback. Will that be

1551
01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:55,640
Speaker 1: the answer? I don't know, because their schedule right now,

1552
01:20:55,720 --> 01:20:57,920
Speaker 1: Nick is about to get brutal. You talked about the

1553
01:20:57,920 --> 01:21:00,000
Speaker 1: gauntlet the Browns have starting Week five. The Steelers are

1554
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:03,360
Speaker 1: in the midst of it right now. Yeah. Well, first off,

1555
01:21:03,640 --> 01:21:06,439
Speaker 1: let me tell you this. For a city that is

1556
01:21:06,479 --> 01:21:10,080
Speaker 1: home to fans that in which a team known as

1557
01:21:10,080 --> 01:21:14,120
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Pirates also exists, I am stunned by how

1558
01:21:14,160 --> 01:21:16,960
Speaker 1: many Steeler fans, at least online, are already throwing in

1559
01:21:16,960 --> 01:21:19,960
Speaker 1: the talent this year because, like you guys know what

1560
01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:23,679
Speaker 1: bad organization looks like in your baseball team. And yet

1561
01:21:23,800 --> 01:21:25,680
Speaker 1: the Steelers, which are the opposite of that, have been

1562
01:21:25,680 --> 01:21:27,800
Speaker 1: the opposite of that for so long. You're already gonna

1563
01:21:27,840 --> 01:21:29,760
Speaker 1: give up just because you're one and two apter three

1564
01:21:29,760 --> 01:21:32,000
Speaker 1: weeks and you're I saw somebody tweets, I think it

1565
01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:33,839
Speaker 1: was one of the radio guys out in Pittsburgh say,

1566
01:21:33,880 --> 01:21:36,240
Speaker 1: if they lose the Jets, they're guaranteed a losing season.

1567
01:21:36,320 --> 01:21:40,080
Speaker 1: And there is that because the schedule gets really tough. Yeah, Buffalo, Miami,

1568
01:21:40,280 --> 01:21:42,320
Speaker 1: Philadelphia five weeks, and you get in New Orleans, who

1569
01:21:42,360 --> 01:21:44,120
Speaker 1: I'm not so certain about, and then the Bengals. You

1570
01:21:44,120 --> 01:21:46,080
Speaker 1: could lose all of those games. If you don't beat

1571
01:21:46,080 --> 01:21:48,360
Speaker 1: the Jets, you could be sit staring in a bad situation.

1572
01:21:48,760 --> 01:21:51,439
Speaker 1: But guys, let's not you know that declare the end

1573
01:21:51,479 --> 01:21:53,439
Speaker 1: of the world already. There's still so much the season

1574
01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:55,519
Speaker 1: left than you're the Steelers. What I also have come

1575
01:21:55,560 --> 01:21:57,960
Speaker 1: to realize is that Steelers fans have a little bit

1576
01:21:57,960 --> 01:22:01,040
Speaker 1: of entitlement with them. One of my good friends, Shawn Barrier,

1577
01:22:01,120 --> 01:22:04,160
Speaker 1: works down in the Tampa at Fox thirteen. He's a

1578
01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:06,880
Speaker 1: lifelong Steeler fan, and he's convinced that it's time to

1579
01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:09,240
Speaker 1: go to Kenny Pickett and Kenny Pickett is gonna work

1580
01:22:09,280 --> 01:22:12,240
Speaker 1: out no matter what. And I think Kenny Pickett could

1581
01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:14,200
Speaker 1: be good. I liked what I saw from him in

1582
01:22:14,200 --> 01:22:17,000
Speaker 1: the preseason. But the problems with them start up front.

1583
01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:19,280
Speaker 1: Their offensive line is not blocking well enough to run

1584
01:22:19,320 --> 01:22:21,559
Speaker 1: the football effectively. And they ran it pretty effectively against

1585
01:22:21,600 --> 01:22:23,640
Speaker 1: the Browns on Thursday Night in the first half of

1586
01:22:23,680 --> 01:22:26,400
Speaker 1: that game, and then just went away from it, And

1587
01:22:26,760 --> 01:22:31,080
Speaker 1: so it's inconsistency upfront. It's a low ceiling with Mr Biskie,

1588
01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:32,880
Speaker 1: But I don't know if you put Picket in there

1589
01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:35,280
Speaker 1: and that ceiling suddenly gets hired. Is he but maybe

1590
01:22:35,280 --> 01:22:37,640
Speaker 1: a better quarterback? Yeah, but if you can't protect him

1591
01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:40,680
Speaker 1: a rookie in an NFL regular season environment, you're not

1592
01:22:40,720 --> 01:22:43,719
Speaker 1: really gonna get much better results from that. So they're

1593
01:22:43,720 --> 01:22:45,960
Speaker 1: definitely looking at a tough spot. But I don't think

1594
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:48,120
Speaker 1: it's time to necessarily just say that the seasons and

1595
01:22:48,200 --> 01:22:50,639
Speaker 1: washed they're gonna have to win in Week four. They're

1596
01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:52,439
Speaker 1: gonna have to find a way to be competitive in

1597
01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:55,880
Speaker 1: that next month, which is a legitimate goonaland those are

1598
01:22:55,880 --> 01:22:59,280
Speaker 1: all Super Bowl contenders from how we stand right now. Uh.

1599
01:22:59,640 --> 01:23:01,160
Speaker 1: I just I think it's a little bit early to

1600
01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:03,400
Speaker 1: throw pick in there, unless you're already throwing in the towel.

1601
01:23:03,560 --> 01:23:05,960
Speaker 1: I still think it's the bye week. You put them

1602
01:23:05,960 --> 01:23:07,920
Speaker 1: in against New Orleans, you know, week ten, and you

1603
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:09,800
Speaker 1: ride out the season from there. Especially if you lose

1604
01:23:10,160 --> 01:23:13,160
Speaker 1: four your next five and you're looking at you know, uh,

1605
01:23:13,320 --> 01:23:15,360
Speaker 1: two and six going into the bye week, then you

1606
01:23:15,400 --> 01:23:18,040
Speaker 1: make the ship. But for now, I think you keep

1607
01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:19,240
Speaker 1: riding with it. You try to get a win and

1608
01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:20,759
Speaker 1: get back to two and two and see what happens

1609
01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:23,800
Speaker 1: from there. All right, I'm gonna give you four ten

1610
01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:27,200
Speaker 1: second clips of things that I saw yesterday that I

1611
01:23:27,200 --> 01:23:29,639
Speaker 1: would like you to rank, and whatever order you want,

1612
01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:32,320
Speaker 1: you ranked them from, like what you thought was either

1613
01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:35,360
Speaker 1: the craziest or most awesome whatever. Lens Nick Shook wants

1614
01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:38,160
Speaker 1: to look at these four things that happened yesterday. Number

1615
01:23:38,160 --> 01:23:43,519
Speaker 1: one the butt punt. Number two, Number two Jimmy Garoppolo

1616
01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:46,439
Speaker 1: runs out of the back of the end zone. Number

1617
01:23:46,520 --> 01:23:51,320
Speaker 1: three Ken Dorsey's reaction to the final offensive play between

1618
01:23:51,320 --> 01:23:54,160
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills and the Miami Dolphins. And then one

1619
01:23:54,200 --> 01:23:58,120
Speaker 1: that is actually stupefying, more stupefying perhaps than any of

1620
01:23:58,160 --> 01:24:02,479
Speaker 1: the others. Vita veat robs in coverage, hits a zone, drop,

1621
01:24:02,880 --> 01:24:06,360
Speaker 1: closes on a ball carrier, pounds crushes him in the back,

1622
01:24:06,400 --> 01:24:10,080
Speaker 1: and forces a fumble as a defensive tackle. Okay, let's

1623
01:24:10,080 --> 01:24:12,720
Speaker 1: go with shock value and just overall enjoyment. Number one

1624
01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:16,679
Speaker 1: is Vita Via because that okay, alright, Look, when Viteva

1625
01:24:16,840 --> 01:24:19,400
Speaker 1: was coming into the NFL, he talked about how he

1626
01:24:19,439 --> 01:24:21,000
Speaker 1: used to play a little running back in high school

1627
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:22,479
Speaker 1: and how he was he was nice with it, right,

1628
01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:24,800
Speaker 1: But to see that guy who was built like a

1629
01:24:24,880 --> 01:24:27,599
Speaker 1: square not a rectangle, dropped back and coverage and make

1630
01:24:27,640 --> 01:24:30,080
Speaker 1: it keep playing that game, that was just fantastic. And

1631
01:24:30,120 --> 01:24:31,439
Speaker 1: you know me, I love the guys in the trenches

1632
01:24:31,640 --> 01:24:35,479
Speaker 1: of put it in there. Okay. Number two for enjoyment

1633
01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:37,640
Speaker 1: is the butt points because I think we finally have

1634
01:24:37,720 --> 01:24:41,160
Speaker 1: something that overtakes the butt fumble. Indeed, the moment which

1635
01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:44,719
Speaker 1: had happened was huge, absolutely massive. It's a four point difference,

1636
01:24:44,720 --> 01:24:46,360
Speaker 1: it's cut down to two, and Buffalo has a chance

1637
01:24:46,360 --> 01:24:48,559
Speaker 1: to go down and estentially win the game. Obviously they don't,

1638
01:24:48,760 --> 01:24:52,599
Speaker 1: which leads us to numbers three ten. Dorsey's reaction enjoyment

1639
01:24:52,640 --> 01:24:55,400
Speaker 1: because it was appropriate for what had happened. This is

1640
01:24:55,400 --> 01:24:57,040
Speaker 1: a team that was putting up a ton of points.

1641
01:24:57,280 --> 01:24:59,120
Speaker 1: Nobody can stop them. You know how, you do a

1642
01:24:59,160 --> 01:25:00,840
Speaker 1: little twitch streaming on the side, and I'm talking with

1643
01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:02,200
Speaker 1: some of the viewers and I'm saying, hey, what do

1644
01:25:02,240 --> 01:25:05,840
Speaker 1: you got Buffalo Miami this weekend? Buffalo by two touchdowns?

1645
01:25:05,840 --> 01:25:08,040
Speaker 1: No one can stop them. I picked Miami is one

1646
01:25:08,080 --> 01:25:10,840
Speaker 1: of my underdogs this week. I was stunned by the

1647
01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:13,400
Speaker 1: fact that everybody believed that they were untouchable. And I

1648
01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:15,519
Speaker 1: think that's exactly how Ken Dorsey should have reacted. And

1649
01:25:15,600 --> 01:25:17,640
Speaker 1: number four Jimmy Garoppolo stepping out of the back of

1650
01:25:17,640 --> 01:25:20,800
Speaker 1: the end zone still very very fun to watch, you know.

1651
01:25:20,840 --> 01:25:23,120
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it a lot, but it still doesn't hold

1652
01:25:23,120 --> 01:25:24,960
Speaker 1: a candle to dan Orlowski running out of the back

1653
01:25:24,960 --> 01:25:27,639
Speaker 1: of the end zone. However, he does get some company

1654
01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:29,559
Speaker 1: and that he's not the only quarterback to do that.

1655
01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:32,280
Speaker 1: Now kind of a bummer and really captured what that

1656
01:25:32,360 --> 01:25:34,280
Speaker 1: game was last night, which was a bit of a clunker.

1657
01:25:34,880 --> 01:25:37,639
Speaker 1: Dan Orlowski really celebrated that he was just leaning all

1658
01:25:37,680 --> 01:25:39,680
Speaker 1: into this absolves me and I believe we had to

1659
01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:41,439
Speaker 1: give a correct me if I'm wrong and Shook it.

1660
01:25:41,439 --> 01:25:43,759
Speaker 1: It's may have been in the Shook era. Then Cody

1661
01:25:43,840 --> 01:25:46,080
Speaker 1: Kessler in a preseason game, I want to say in

1662
01:25:46,200 --> 01:25:49,200
Speaker 1: Green Bay, he did as well, didn't get nearly the

1663
01:25:49,200 --> 01:25:53,200
Speaker 1: attention that the two other instances obviously got with Orlovski

1664
01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:56,400
Speaker 1: and Jimmy Garoppolo. Well, well that was good there, Nick Shook,

1665
01:25:56,439 --> 01:25:58,760
Speaker 1: that was good. I'll leave you with this one. Just

1666
01:25:58,760 --> 01:26:01,400
Speaker 1: give us two sentence is or two seconds here? What

1667
01:26:01,520 --> 01:26:03,479
Speaker 1: you think about the Falcons and and should the Browns

1668
01:26:03,520 --> 01:26:05,040
Speaker 1: build to go down to Atlanta and get the get

1669
01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:07,479
Speaker 1: the job done? Yeah, I think the Browns can go

1670
01:26:07,520 --> 01:26:09,200
Speaker 1: down there and get the job done. They control it

1671
01:26:09,200 --> 01:26:11,320
Speaker 1: with the ground game again, and they forced Marcus Mariotta

1672
01:26:11,360 --> 01:26:13,160
Speaker 1: to make a couple of mistakes. They're gonna have a

1673
01:26:13,160 --> 01:26:16,240
Speaker 1: tough task defending Drake London and Kyle Pitts, but I

1674
01:26:16,240 --> 01:26:18,080
Speaker 1: think they're up to it. And I think again they'll

1675
01:26:18,080 --> 01:26:20,960
Speaker 1: control it by conjoying time of possession, limiting mistakes and

1676
01:26:21,040 --> 01:26:22,719
Speaker 1: come out of there with a three and one record.

1677
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:27,120
Speaker 1: And there it is, Nick Shook. Always a pleasure, brother,
