Feels like there's a news story out there, 16 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: and the news is as follows. Deshaun Watson has been 17 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: suspended for eleven games during the NFL season and find 18 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: five million dollars for violating the NFL's Personal Conduct policy 19 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,639 Speaker 1: for the terms of a settlement reached between the league 20 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: and the NFL p A. The league announced on Thursday, Additionally, 21 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,479 Speaker 1: Watson must commit to mandatory evaluation and treatment. Here's how 22 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: it goes. The suspension will begin at four pm on 23 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: August thirty. He will be eligible to return to the 24 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: facility on October the tenth and resume practicing and November four. 25 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: The first game that he will be eligible to play 26 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: in will be December the four in Houston. The league 27 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: also announced Thursday that the NFL and the Browns each 28 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: will contribute one million dollars, which, when combined with watson 29 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: five million dollar fine, will create a fund of seven 30 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: million dollars to support the prevention of sexual misconduct and assault. 31 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,959 Speaker 1: Saying quote, this fund will support the work of nonprofit 32 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 1: organizations across the country that educate young people on healthy relationships, 33 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 1: promote education and prevention of sexual misconduct and assault, support 34 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: survivors and related causes. So, Jerrod, that's the big news. 35 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: And from a football perspective, he will be out the 36 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: eleven games. This is now Jacoby Brissette's team. What does 37 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: that mean for the Browns, Well, it really means that 38 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: from a rallying standpoint, rally behind Jacobe because all the 39 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: naysayers and the pronunciators out there are gonna say you 40 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: don't have a chance to have an opportunity. But this 41 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: is where you, as a football team say, you don't 42 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: define us. We define who and what we're gonna be, 43 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:45,959 Speaker 1: and we go out there and pay the price and 44 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: do the things necessary to get to that place too 45 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: when we step on the football field come Steptember eleven, 46 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: that we are well prepared because no football team, last 47 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: time I check, Nathan is one player. Granted, the quarterback 48 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: position is of the utmost importance, and if you perform 49 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: well there, typically speaking, you win football games. But Jacoby, yes, 50 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: it's his squad. Now he has to take over the rain. 51 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: And basically what I have learned from observing last year 52 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: with this offensive particularly is if you just simply allow 53 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,519 Speaker 1: Costefanski's set you up for success with his play calling 54 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: and take what the defense gives you. I'm not worried 55 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: about Jacoby percent. I'm with you, And that's one of 56 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: the things that they feel very confident he can do, 57 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: and that the layups that this offense will provide him 58 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: will be layups for his career. Six completions, thirty six touchdowns, 59 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: seventeen interceptions. That's better than a two to one interception ratio. 60 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: He's also added six hundred and fifty three yards rushing 61 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: and thirteen career rushing touchdowns, so you're hoping that he 62 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: can do those things. He has an element where he 63 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: extends about to play two drives a game with his legs, 64 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: picks up about two first downs a game. So while 65 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: he's not a burner like a Lamar where Jalen Hurts 66 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: who saw in the practice field a guy who's big, 67 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: he is physical, can carry a pile and pick up 68 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: some strong yards for you. And he is now the 69 00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: leader and he's guy who's got the respect of the 70 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: locker room. Was the Walter Payton Man of the Year 71 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: nominee for the coltson so he will be the guy 72 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: for the Browns now and Josh Dobbs, Josh Rosen the 73 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: other quarterbacks of note. We did hear Kevin Stefanski say 74 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: today that Jacoby Procid will not play this Sunday against 75 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: Philadelphia and that Deshaun Watson won't play for the rest 76 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: of the preseason. That surprised me a little bit. Does 77 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: that surprise you or what we're what are your thoughts 78 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: on DeShawn no more game action for the Sean because 79 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 1: when I hear that, I make the assumption Nathan, that 80 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: they're not gonna have the ones out there for the 81 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: offensive line. Now, I'm not gonna put Deshaun Watson behind 82 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: twos and threes, with all due respect to those guys 83 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: because they're busting their butts trying to make a football church. 84 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 1: But I would rather have someone who I've put so 85 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: much into resources into and guaranteed money behind my ones, 86 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: not my twos, are my threes on my potential fours 87 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: or practice squad guys, I'm not gonna take that chance. 88 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: So my mindset would be no, no need for you 89 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: to go out there and risk injury in a situation 90 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: where guys are gonna be kama kaze, out of control, 91 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: trying to make a name for themselves, but not gonna 92 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: get a off of putting you out for the rest 93 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: of your career. So I get completely why they're doing this. 94 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 1: So again, the first time we will see Deshaun Watson 95 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,559 Speaker 1: on the for the next time we will see Deshaun 96 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 1: Watson on the field for the Browns, the earliest would 97 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: be December the fourth in Houston, against the Texans, and 98 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: that's I think this is for long. This is gonna 99 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 1: go eleven game suspension won't be playing until December as 100 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: we sit here in August, so still a long way 101 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: to go before Deshaun Watson is on the field for 102 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: the Browns. We'll talk about what we saw out there 103 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: today and to look back at the Jags game, but 104 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: first let's get some soundbites from today's press conferences about 105 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: the news of the day, with owners Jimmy and d 106 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 1: has Them as well as General mandarander Berry and DeShawn himself. 107 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: Will start with Jimmy has Them with his opening statement, 108 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: I think we've said from the outset that it was 109 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: really important for the Cleveland Browns too, aren't the agreement 110 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: between the Players Association and NFL and to no matter 111 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 1: what the outcome is or was, to respect that until 112 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: we're going to do that. And I'm not going to 113 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: comment on anything Joe S. Robinson said or her decision, 114 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 1: nor are we going to comment on anything Mr Goodell said, 115 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: because we don't think that's appropriate. Um. At the same time, 116 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: I think we as an organization realize how sensitive this is, 117 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: how emotional it is to all kinds of different people. 118 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: How a lot of people have been affected by this situation, 119 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: and we take that very seriously. Since de Shaun came 120 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 1: into our building in April, he has done everything we 121 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: have asked of him and more and he has been 122 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: the person, the leader that we expected him to be, 123 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: and I think he understands where he is in his life. 124 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: It's a pivotal point, and we as an organization, we're 125 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: gonna do everything we can to help him not only 126 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: be the best football player he could be, but more importantly, 127 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 1: to be the best person he can be. And we're 128 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: gonna support him in every way possible during the suspension 129 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: and during what will hopefully be a long career with Cleveland. Browns. 130 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 1: Also think it's important to remember that we've got a 131 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 1: lot of other really good football players that are gonna 132 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 1: practice today at two o'clock against the Eagles today and 133 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: tomorrow play an exhibition game and men about two and 134 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: a half a week to kick it off against Carolina, 135 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: And we have talented team and we have Compsons with 136 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: Kobe Priffett, and we're looking forward to going forward. That's 137 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: Brown's owner, Jimmy has Them has them again later on 138 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: said people deserve second chances. I think in this country 139 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: and hopefully in the world, people deserve second chances. Okay, 140 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: I really think that, And I struggle a little bit. 141 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: Is is he never supposed to play again? Is he 142 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: never supposed to be part of society? Does he get 143 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: no chance to rehabilitate himself? And that's what we're gonna do. Okay. 144 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: And you could say, well, that's because he's a star quarterback. Well, 145 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: of course, but if he was Joe Smith, he wouldn't 146 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: be in the on the headlines every day. So we 147 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: think people deserve a second chance. We got Cream Hunt 148 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: a second chance, okay, and let's worked out pretty well. Okay, 149 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: we're hoping this will work out. We have strong belief 150 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: it will. That doesn't mean we don't have empathy for 151 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: people affected, and we will continue to do so. But 152 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: we strongly believe, strongly believe people deserve a second chance. 153 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: We believe Deshaun Watson deserves a second chance. Speaking of 154 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, he talked about missing the first eleven games 155 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: and the impact it would have on his teammates. I'm 156 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: that's a tough situation, but at the end of the day, 157 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: I have to continue to make sure that I'm around 158 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,599 Speaker 1: as much as possible as I can be, Um, and 159 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: just continue to put it into work and that, you know, 160 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,599 Speaker 1: support the guys that's around. Uh, support this team. You know, 161 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: I know these guys are gonna do very very well. 162 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 1: We're all professionals. We all here for to do a 163 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: job and the accomplish a goal and that's win games. 164 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,959 Speaker 1: And I know the guys in that lot of them 165 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: why here? And finally, general manager Andrew Barry and if 166 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: he is comfortable with his quarterback situation going into week 167 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: one number one we brought into copy. We feel very 168 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: good about you, Kobe, and we like what we've seen 169 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: throughout the spring, we like what we've seen throughout the summer. Um, 170 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: so we have a high degree of confidence in him. Um, 171 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: you know, no different than any other position on the ross. 172 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: Will continue to evaluate our team you're over the course 173 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: of the camp. But he really playing alright, Gerard. So 174 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: again that's the news of the day. Let's talk about 175 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 1: this from a football perspective. He's gone for eleven weeks. 176 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 1: We've got Jacobe Pricett. We you talked about that for 177 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: a team and I was pretty impressed by this today. 178 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 1: This was a chaotic schedule today. They it changed a 179 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: lot of things around as the news of this came 180 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: down the settlement, and yet they went out there and 181 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: I thought, compete and had a very strong accounting of 182 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: themselves against the Eagles. What does that tell you just 183 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: about the mental makeup everything we've seen, even going down 184 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 1: into Jacksonville and all of this has been kind of hanging. 185 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: We didn't even know remember going Jacks. We didn't know 186 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: if he was gonna play that right. We didn't know 187 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: until at five six o'clock is he playing at seven o'clock? 188 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: It was surreal in many ways. But this team continues 189 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: to be focused on the task at hand, right, And 190 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,079 Speaker 1: that's a great sign because if you're gonna make a 191 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: championship run, and I know experience, you're gonna have to 192 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: deal with adversity and how do you overcome it? Do 193 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: you let it hold you back? Do you be moan 194 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: and take the victim mentality? Or do you say I'm 195 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: an overcomer and I'm a chiefer on the individual as 196 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: well as a corporate team level. That's your mentality. And 197 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,319 Speaker 1: they've gotten a dose of that with the uncertainty of 198 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: the quarterback position and what that represents not knowing if 199 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: the Shan's gonna be here today or gone tomorrow. Now 200 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: we have a finality with that and understanding what's gonna 201 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: take place. Now, what do you do as a football team? 202 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 1: You rally, You say, here's what we're expecting, here's what 203 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: we need to accomplish, and here's what we need to 204 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: focus towards. And what you hope is that going through 205 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,439 Speaker 1: this adversity gives them more aware of all and the 206 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: sense that hey, we do have the will, we do 207 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: have the ability to overcome things that come our way, 208 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 1: because that's really what they're gonna be facing, and just 209 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: to understand that, hey, this is going to be a 210 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: very tough season for them, because when you're go into 211 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: a few of these matchups, you can't look to the 212 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: sideline and say that you have the advantage at the 213 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: quarterback position because in most games, if Deshaun Watson's on 214 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: the center, guess what you can say that, But not 215 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: having the ability to say that, what that means this 216 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: special teams. You step up and control field position, take 217 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 1: advantage of opportunities. Defense, you shut down guys down, give 218 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: Jakobe Pricetton, whoever else is on the center, a short 219 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: football field to work with, so that increases the odds 220 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: of him scoring. And for the offense, you block and 221 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: you protect, you catch, and you run like you've never 222 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: done before to get to a place that when he 223 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: does return, that is a space an opportunity for you 224 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 1: guys to still make a run towards the playoffs and 225 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 1: then the Super Bowl, no doubt about it. And you 226 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: talk about guys being focused, guys stepping up, I think 227 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: our defense certainly stepped up down there in Jacksonville, as 228 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: did Josh Dobbs and that second team on offense, rookie 229 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: Jerome Ford. What stood out to you about that game? 230 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 1: And and by the way, how fun was it down 231 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: on the sideline for the first time. It was an 232 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 1: experience and that has to be on the sidelines man, 233 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: and get accustomed to that approach to calling the game 234 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 1: and being involved on that level was exciting. It was 235 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 1: fun looking forward to again this Sunday and also just 236 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: again feeling like with what we were doing with you, 237 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: Jim and myself the hey man, we had a rapport 238 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 1: going there and it just felt really good to be 239 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: involved with it. Be far as the game goes, I 240 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 1: felt early on Nathan that the speed of practice did 241 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: not help the speed of the game and that the 242 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: Jaguars had an advantage because they played in the Hall 243 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: of Fame game, so they kind of had an idea, 244 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 1: we're able to dictate the tempo and the speed and 245 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: then and they capitalize on that. Now, once we got 246 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: accustomed to the speed, and once we started trusting our lungs, 247 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: because that's the key part when you're play in a 248 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 1: hot weather place, in the conditions like they were that night. 249 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,079 Speaker 1: Do I have the ability to run? Do I have 250 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: ability to catch my wings? So you kind of play 251 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: a hesitancy of an approach towards the game because you're 252 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: not sure if you're a conditioned But once the guys 253 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: figured out that, hey man, and it cooled out a 254 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 1: little bit once the sun went down, you start seeing 255 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: that our talent was just better than theirs and that 256 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 1: we were better football team. Because when you have your 257 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: young guys, and this is what really stood out to me, 258 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: When you got your young guys contributing, that tells me 259 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: who's ever in the room making decisions on draft day 260 00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: is doing a heck of a job. That's a great 261 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: especially when you have a team that's regard as one 262 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: of the better teams from a talent standpoint, because that 263 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,599 Speaker 1: means that once those guys may to part be a 264 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: free agency, you have somebody in the wings that can 265 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: come up and get the job done. Not to mention, 266 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: we did not have a first round pick, we did 267 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 1: not have a second round type, and yet our our 268 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 1: rookies m j Emerson in the third round, four in 269 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 1: the fifth round, KA New York. In the fourth round, 270 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: you had Perry and you had Alex Right. It was 271 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: a very good show. Isaiah Thomas with two sas in 272 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: the seventh round. A great showing certainly from the Browns 273 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: rookie class. Now the tasket and moves from Jacksonville to 274 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,439 Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. We know we won't be seeing the 275 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: starters really in that game, but we did see a 276 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: lot of good work from the brown starters today against 277 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: the Eagles and the joint practice. So when we come back. Gibbs, 278 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: our own gibb a Jason Gibbs on the spot caught 279 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: up with the head coach of the Cleveland Browns and 280 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: the namesake of this show. You will hear that next 281 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: on the Kevin sa Fantai show, all along the University 282 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: Hospitals Cleveland Brown's Radio Network. I feel like I have 283 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: people in the building that can tell me the truth, 284 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:02,839 Speaker 1: and I think that's really important because I don't want 285 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: this to be a place where I don't get the 286 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: truth from our guys. This is the Coach Kevin Stefanski Show. 287 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: You're listening to the University Hospitals Cleveland Browns Radio Network. 288 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:17,719 Speaker 1: Here are your hosts, Nathan Szagura and Geron Cherry all 289 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: right back here at the Cross Country Mortgage Campus were 290 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: earlier today, the Browns and the Eagles had the first 291 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: of two consecutive days of joint practices, and you, of 292 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: course are listening to the Kevin Stefanski showed Nathan'sgura, Gerade Cherry, 293 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: and we bring in the third member of our team, 294 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: usually behind the scenes, but today thrust into action and 295 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: GiB A responded like the champion that he is grabbing 296 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: the Brown's head. Coach and the namesake of this show, 297 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski, coming right off of the practice field and 298 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: joint practice number one with the Eagles. Take a listen 299 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: just off the practice field here, Joint practice number one 300 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: with the Philadelphia Eagles in the books. Coach, Uh, I 301 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: know that you have plenty of films still the watch 302 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: put your thoughts on the day immediately coming off the field. Well, 303 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: first of all, you're right, there's plenty of film. You 304 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: have twice the amount of film you're gonna watch. So 305 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: I'll watch it with the offensive staff to start, and 306 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: I'll go over the defensive staff and watch with them 307 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: and really really solid work and what we try to do. 308 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: When you're figuring out who to do these joint practices against, 309 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: you're looking at a bunch of factors. But one of 310 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: the big factors is what kind of offense and defensive 311 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: scheme they run. And their scheme is totally different than ours. 312 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: So it's really good for our offense to go up 313 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: against a five on the line of scrimmage under odd 314 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: front type. Look. Uh, they were really happy on on 315 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: the eagle sideline with their defensive coaches. They're happy to 316 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: see some multiple tight ends, some eye formation stuff that 317 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: they just haven't seen. So I just think on both sides, 318 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: you're working together and you're getting a great look. All right, 319 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: So how do you manage it all? Because you said it, 320 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: there's two fields going on. You can only be in 321 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: one place at one time. But do you go between sets, 322 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: you kind of map out your day as to how 323 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: this is gonna look. Yeah, we kind of handle it. 324 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: I think it's pretty consistent at these joint practices. I'm 325 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: the head coach of the offensive Cleveland Brown's offense. For 326 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: the Eagles defense, I'm head coach of that field. Coach 327 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: Sirianni is the head coach of the Eagles offense verus 328 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: our defense. So if something were happening, Coach Sirianni, whatever 329 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: he says goes for that whole field. That's how we operate. 330 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: And I got so much respect for Coach Sirianni and 331 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 1: his staff, his players that they really work hard and 332 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: it was fun to work together. You know, it looked 333 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: like a mutual respect between both teams. You could tell 334 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: right from the get go when Philadelphia walked in and 335 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: a number of our guys going over to greet them 336 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: and whatnot. But clearly a lot of respect from both 337 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: sides here are going into today. Absolutely, And and you know, 338 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: when you're talking about the NFL and these teams, we 339 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: all have so many connections. I know so many of 340 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: their coaches. I know they're players and vice versa. These 341 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: guys played college ball together. So while it's football and 342 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: it's physical, I really believe you can get quality, quality 343 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: working uh while taking care of each other and not 344 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: being you know, chippy and taking cheap shots. We just 345 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: we don't we don't want that. Neither side wants that. 346 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: And it just goes to show you that you can 347 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: get work done and get a lot of work done 348 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: the way we did it today. All Right, how long 349 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: will you be here tonight? I think that might be 350 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: the bigger question here. Yeah, I won't be home dinner. 351 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: I know that. So which is okay, that's training camp. 352 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 1: So I gotta get to the bottom of all these plays. 353 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,159 Speaker 1: All right, So what adjustments? How much adjusting do you 354 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: do going into day to knowing that you still have 355 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: a game to play on Sunday? Yeah, not much. Where 356 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: we're we really know what we came into accomplishing these 357 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 1: two days. So a lot of the players that we 358 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 1: ran today we got good looks on. Now we'll move 359 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: on to a couple of different concepts and schemes that 360 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: we want to take a look at. You know, even defensively, 361 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 1: we can throw different personnel groupings, different fronts out there 362 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: that we just want to get good, solid work versus 363 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: somebody else. So it's a little bit of the laboratory 364 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,199 Speaker 1: right now when you're out there on the field. But 365 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: I thought it is quality work. So how much of 366 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: what you're doing out here on the field today and 367 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 1: tomorrow you don't want to tip your cap, You don't 368 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: want to show too much, but yet you still want 369 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: to at least see if something may or may not 370 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: work out here. And that's exactly right. And that's again 371 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,199 Speaker 1: with these joint practices. You can do a lot of 372 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: things in these practices that you wouldn't do in a 373 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,199 Speaker 1: game because you know, the tapes not getting out to 374 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: the free world. So there are some concepts that we've 375 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: been working talking to their coaches, they wanted to take 376 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: a look at some new things that I thought were 377 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 1: actually really cool. So already told coach, you're gon, we're 378 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: gonna steal a few of those concepts, all right before 379 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: I let you go, just a quick takeaway or two 380 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: from last week's game, And what will your message be 381 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,159 Speaker 1: to some of these younger guys that are gonna get 382 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: a lot of reps into some good work in on 383 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 1: this coming Sunday. Yeah, I think they competed like crazy. 384 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 1: We just we need to be way, way cleaner from 385 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,640 Speaker 1: the penalty standpoint, and that's it's an awareness thing. It's 386 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: also it's just it's very simple. It's technique and it's 387 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,360 Speaker 1: her goes right back to your hand placement, those type 388 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 1: of key fundamentals to this game. So I'm really looking 389 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 1: to clean that up. And then I just want I 390 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:36,880 Speaker 1: want the offense to take care of the better care 391 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: of the ball. We put the ball on the ground 392 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 1: twice on offense, we ripped away on defense three times, 393 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: which was outstanding. But looking for the offense to take 394 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: care of the ball, looking for us to clean up 395 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: those penalties and then continue to just give our guys 396 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,719 Speaker 1: an opportunity to go show what they can do. All right, 397 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: back on the field Friday for joint practice number two 398 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: and then Sunday at First Energy Stadium. Uh glad to 399 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 1: be back in front of the home fans, I would think, 400 00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: all right, Gibby, I can't wait to be out there, Buddy, 401 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: Gibby on the way out, man, alright, give me how 402 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: about that? Uh So coming to fans, he's talking about 403 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: some of the virtues of these joint practices getting to 404 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: see a different look. He said that five man under 405 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: front that they run. They've added Hassan Reddick to a 406 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 1: defensive line. Think about the guys that they can put 407 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: out there. You've got pro bowler Josh Wet, Pro bowler 408 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: Javon Hargrave, Fletcher Cox, a six time Pro bowler who 409 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,719 Speaker 1: missed the Pro Bowl last year, Brandon Graham, a Pro 410 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: bowler inwenty was injured last year. And then they had 411 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: a son Reddick, Oh, by the way, and they added 412 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: Jordan Davis with the thirteen overall pick, who's six six 413 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: three thirty six was run the the Outland Trophy for 414 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 1: the best interior defensive lineman in the country last year, 415 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 1: won the Bednarik Award as the best defensive player in 416 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: the country last year at Georgia, OH, they were the 417 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: national champions and he was one of the stars of 418 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: that defense that had how many guys go in A 419 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: billion guys go in the first round. I have to 420 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: mention to Kobe Dean, who they also drafted to the 421 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: Eagles in the third round that many thought was a 422 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: first round talent. So this is a loaded d But 423 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: what are the benefits of getting to see different fronts, 424 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: getting to see different coverage, kids, getting to see for 425 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: our defense, different offensive schemes and past concepts, and you've 426 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 1: been seeing every day in training camp. It gives you 427 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: the opportunity to build your confidence if you're having success. Now, 428 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: if you're not doing well, then you're gonna have some 429 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,919 Speaker 1: things obviously always to work on, but when you're going 430 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: to get different looks and different guys because says, at 431 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: some point in practice you reach a threshold, say if 432 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: you're just dominating to where it's like, okay, is this 433 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: a false impression? Am I really this good? But when 434 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 1: you have someone else come into town and your skill 435 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 1: set is put on display and you still find yourself balling, 436 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 1: you find yourself still making plays, that confidence builds up 437 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,919 Speaker 1: and says, you know what, I could take this on 438 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,199 Speaker 1: the road. I can also use it at home. And 439 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: when you start feeling thinking that way, then you start 440 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 1: bawling out and then it just only helps your game 441 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,439 Speaker 1: get much much better. So the confidence part is one 442 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: of the main things you take from it to see 443 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 1: that you know what I do belong in the National 444 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: Football League. Because if you bring Jacksonville on a preseason game, 445 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: if you bring the Eagles in on a practice week, 446 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: I'm still bawling. So it helps from that standpoint and 447 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: just seeing something different, because when you're in the National 448 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: Football League, tell me, Nathan, do you get the same 449 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: look weekend and week out? You're struggling against that particular 450 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: look that you're gonna get a weekend and week out, 451 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 1: but beyond that, it's always something fresh and difference. So 452 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: have an ability to adapt and a just it's a 453 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: key fundamental part of playing a game at a high level. 454 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 1: In the head. Last week, you know, and Jackson, we 455 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: got a three four look. Now you get with this 456 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: is a four man front, but it's really a five 457 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: man throat that they play often that's gonna four man 458 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: under front. Then you go, when you think about playing 459 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: our team, you're getting basically just a straight up four 460 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 1: three defense where we can flip we can be a 461 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: four three over four three under, but we don't walk 462 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: the sam down onto the line of scrimmage like they 463 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: do with a Son Reddick having and be an extra 464 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 1: pass rusher on the outside. All of those different looks, 465 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: these are things you're gonna see over the course of 466 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 1: the season. We'll see that our division exactly that's my point. 467 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 1: So you've got three four in Baltimore, three four in Pittsburgh, 468 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: four three in Cincinnati. But now a lot of teams 469 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: are multiple multiple, So when you were in New England, 470 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: always among I mean, you have a multiple front within 471 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:07,640 Speaker 1: a drive, right, showing all kinds of different things, uh 472 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: to this offense. And I think it's a good look 473 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: for Jacoby Percet to get those kind of looks. And 474 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 1: this is gonna be the bulk of his work that 475 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 1: happens prior to Carolina. It's gonna be today and and 476 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 1: and that's done and then tomorrow. Right, these are key 477 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,360 Speaker 1: days for him and how he performs from a confidence standpoint, 478 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 1: for himself as well as the coaching staff in the organization. 479 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,640 Speaker 1: How's he look? Because on some levels, eleven games that's 480 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: a lengthy suspensions suspension, So do you take a look 481 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: and kick the tires and some other guys that may 482 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: come come available. And I'm talking around it, but do 483 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 1: you actually consider Jimmy Garoppolo Because if Jacoby struggles, then 484 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: that does become a concern because you're not gonna sit 485 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: back and say, Okay, we'll let him work it out. 486 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: That's a legitimate fear because you're not waiting till next year. 487 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,120 Speaker 1: You're always trying to push the envelope and win now. 488 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: You have to win now. This team is is too good, 489 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: it's too loaded. There's too much talent on this team 490 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,640 Speaker 1: to even think about trying to wait for next year. 491 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: And so I think that the Browns are very comfortable 492 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 1: with Jacoby Presett. I think they believe it or not. 493 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,640 Speaker 1: I think the Browns and a lot of people, I'm saying, 494 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 1: believe it not to a lot of people prefer Jacoby 495 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: percent to Jimmy Garoffolo. Now, Garoppolo has had a ton 496 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: of success. You can't argue the fact this last two 497 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: full seasons, the guy has been in an m NFC 498 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 1: championship game and in the super Bowl. And when you're 499 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: in this spot where Jacoby is at, where they do 500 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: have affinity for you and familiarity with you because you 501 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: obviously you've been here throughout the course of the off 502 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 1: season and now in training camp, put your best foot 503 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: forward by just simply going out there and doing what 504 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,640 Speaker 1: they ask you to do in performing will. From that standpoint, 505 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: you have the confidence you're gonna have the team back 506 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,159 Speaker 1: and you you're gonna have the locker room behind you 507 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,360 Speaker 1: as well by putting in that work and don't leave 508 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: room for dissension in the sense of, oh my gosh, 509 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: what are we gonna do? Because once that starts rearing 510 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: his ugly ahead, then you have the worst possible scenario 511 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 1: that you can have for a football team, and no 512 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,199 Speaker 1: identity with a quarterback, that's the worst thing that you 513 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: can have. All the Browns feel like they do have 514 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,360 Speaker 1: that identity, and they're fortunate to do so with Presenta 515 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: that's got to carry into the regular season. To your point, 516 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: but I will say I know that for a fact, 517 00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 1: they like him more now that he's been here than 518 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 1: they did when they made the decision to go bring him. 519 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 1: He has impressed him. What stood out to you from 520 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: today's practice offense? Defense? What jumped out to Well, Initially 521 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 1: I felt earlier on the Eagles were sitting to Temple, 522 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 1: where when as I looked across the field and there's 523 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,120 Speaker 1: a lot going on, It's like, okay, where I'm gonna 524 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: focus my attention on. So when I was looking at 525 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,160 Speaker 1: who was making plays and like the one on one 526 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: drills and stuff like that, Initially, early on it was 527 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 1: the Eagles. I felt they were making the majority of plays, 528 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: but as practice continued to go along, I felt that 529 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 1: both sides of the ball were making plays and have 530 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: an impact. And it wasn't one situation when you walked 531 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 1: away and said, man, we got our ask kicked and 532 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: we got dominated. I didn't feel that way at all. 533 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: I felt it was an even draw if anything. At 534 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,199 Speaker 1: the end of watching the practices, yeah, it felt like 535 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: there were good moments on both sides. I think that 536 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 1: our offense certainly had some nice owns. He had a 537 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 1: Jacoby were set with a big pass on a bootleg 538 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,880 Speaker 1: to the chief. You had a great run from drawing forward. 539 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: Watson hit a bomb over the top to Anthony Schwartz 540 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,160 Speaker 1: that he really stood out. And so those are good things. 541 00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what our secondary I think initially now 542 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say had problems, but I think it was 543 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: you were seeing the talent of Philly DeVante, Smith, A. J. Brown, 544 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard, and I think as that went on, and 545 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 1: let's be honest, that's a caliber and depth of pass 546 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 1: catching that our guys have not seen in our camp 547 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 1: and certainly not down in Jackson. You will see in 548 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 1: Cinnata and you'll see it in Pittsburgh as well. But 549 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: I'm counting on these guys. Believe our secondary is same 550 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 1: and but the but the deal with that is blowing coverages. 551 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 1: That part I can't tolerate because I did see a 552 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,400 Speaker 1: couple of those things and we've been together too long 553 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,639 Speaker 1: now for that to take place at this stage. So 554 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: those type of things need to be ironed out and 555 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: not occur. But yeah, you want this type of look 556 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 1: because at some point last week, I mean early on, 557 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 1: Jacksonville was making place to their credit, and then once 558 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,959 Speaker 1: the things settled down, they got shut down. So now 559 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: you're getting a high caliber receiver corps coming in here. 560 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: Where do you stack because again, in our division outside 561 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: of Baltimore, Pittsburgh is for real and we know since 562 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,120 Speaker 1: the Natties for real. So these guys, again, it's part 563 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 1: of that whole concept of building up your confidence. You 564 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 1: shut these guys down in training campin these practices, and 565 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: you have a success that will transfer to the football 566 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 1: field once the regular season starts as well. And I 567 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 1: think you're right about that, and that's something that the 568 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: Browns are certainly looking forward to it. And to be 569 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: fair to our defense out there, we didn't have our 570 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: starters out there. They have their starts, and they didn't 571 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 1: have Christian Kirk out on the field, but we weren't 572 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:29,640 Speaker 1: running biles and clowns. That's whole different, whole different, but exactly. 573 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: But the guys that are out there need to deliver, 574 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: and as that game went on, I think they most. 575 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 1: And that's the part too. If if you're if you're 576 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 1: m j Emerson, you are getting the opportunity of a 577 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 1: lifetime you can go against as a starter. You're playing 578 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: the starting role right now against guys who are just 579 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: flat out talented and which you make your marketing name, 580 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 1: because everybody's watching to see can you take that next step? 581 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,679 Speaker 1: Can you put yourself in a position based on what 582 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,679 Speaker 1: you did against the Jaguars where we start saying we 583 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: might need this guy to be the third cornerback as 584 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: opposed to we'll work him in a dime situations. That's 585 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: the position that he could find himself in by balling 586 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: out during this camp. Yeah, I loved down there. It 587 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: was kind of like Greg Newsom a year ago. Greg 588 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: Newsom on the first play down jus So they went 589 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: to Marvin Jones and he had a big catch and 590 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: he was like, okay, all right, welcome to the NFL, 591 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 1: and then settled and played a great game. Mj the 592 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 1: first one they went at him to Day Jones and 593 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: out and up gave up I think a thirty two 594 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: yard and then came back ends up getting the pick six. 595 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: That really kind of changed that game completely for the 596 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. When we come back, we're gonna talk with 597 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: the young defensive back who has changed a lot of 598 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 1: people's perceptions and undrafted free agent from West Florida played 599 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,640 Speaker 1: a big role in the win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, 600 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,120 Speaker 1: forcing a fumble and the most beautiful forces we've ever seen. Oh, 601 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: it's great. And he's gonna tell you. He's gonna tell 602 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 1: you a little bit about how it came to be 603 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: and you're gonna hear now he's gonna get a tag team. 604 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,400 Speaker 1: Gibb A and myself. We talked with d Anthony Bell 605 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: next on the Kevin Stefanski Show here on the University 606 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 1: Hospitals Cleveland Browns Radio Network. For me, I'm just trying 607 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: to make the right decision for each of our players. 608 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: Is the coach Kevin Stefanski Show you're listening to the 609 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: University Hospitals Cleveland.

One of 611 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: the stars of camping. A guy that I think has 612 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 1: maybe even played his way onto this fifty three, which 613 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: would have been a long, long long shot when you 614 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: looked at the safety room coming into a grade, is 615 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 1: d Anthony Bell. He continues to make plays. I can 616 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 1: tell you the Alpha Dog awards that are handed out. 617 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 1: He is the leader amongst all players on this team, 618 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 1: with four of them so far. You go, and he 619 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: got He forced another turnover. He's had multiple pick sixes 620 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: in practice. He's been great. Well. Gibbs got him first. 621 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: I was on Brown's Live and then I came in 622 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: and said, no way, this is my guy. I gotta 623 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: talk to him. So here our joint interview with safety 624 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: d Anthony Bell. All right, happy to be joined out 625 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 1: by the Anthony Bell safety. Just off the practice field 626 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: and joint practice number one in the books. Some good 627 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: work again, someone other than your own teammates and not 628 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: in the preseason game thoughts on the day. I think 629 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: I think it's a great opportunity, you know, I just 630 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 1: feel like I'm blessed to be on the field with 631 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 1: all these guys. You know, a lot of great guys 632 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 1: on the other team and a lot of great guys 633 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 1: on my team. So just being in the mix just 634 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: feel like a blessing. Today. You know, you get to 635 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: go up against the Philadelphia team, You're gonna see a 636 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: team like them that they're not gonna give you the 637 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 1: same look that you get every day in practice. And 638 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 1: what did you see from that Philly offense? I feel 639 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: I see that they can be very efficient. They are 640 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: a very good offense. But you know, I trusted what 641 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 1: we do in our defense, and I just want to 642 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 1: do my job and my teammates do our job, and 643 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 1: we hopefully did play a good game all right on 644 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: the defensive side. Uh. You know, once you guys got going, 645 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: it really kind of locked out both defenses, especially in 646 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 1: those eleven on elevens. And is it just a case 647 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: of the further the practice went along, the more confident 648 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 1: to your group, guy, Yeah, I think it's more as 649 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: much as we just keep going and we all just 650 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: feed off each other's energy, you know, So once we 651 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: see somebody make a play or somebody keep going, it 652 00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 1: just helps everybody else want to keep going and keep 653 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 1: making lays. We love to see each other make plays, 654 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: so that's a big factor for us.

You're an older it's an older rookie 721 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: coming out of West Florida, and yet you guys have 722 00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,719 Speaker 1: bonded unbelievably, especially in that room. How was that happening? 723 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 1: What's it like to be a guy coming out of 724 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 1: West Florida, coming out of the Sun Belt Conference and 725 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 1: then being accepted like you are by your team with, 726 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 1: by the way, a hell of a lot of talent 727 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: in that room, I think, just coming in and those 728 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 1: guys taking me under their wing and me learning from 729 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 1: Like I sit right next to John, so, you know, 730 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 1: just seeing how he processed things and process football, you know, 731 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 1: and I asked him questions, and Grant I asked him 732 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: questions as well. So them just taking me under their 733 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 1: wing and just showing me the game, you know, and 734 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: we all just feel like a big family. Were you 735 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 1: always as much of a playmaker? I would say, so 736 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: you know that you would say, so I've been trying. 737 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 1: I've been trying, all right, So two pick six is 738 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 1: in camp. I know that. So there's alpha dogs. Now 739 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,719 Speaker 1: let's go back to this Force fumble and on that one, 740 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: this is what I love about this one. So maybe 741 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 1: you didn't cover the right GUYE on that play, right, 742 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: but you turned the wrong into a right and you've 743 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: been doing something right. Coach, I already give you a 744 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 1: tape that you've been watching the guy you ready for 745 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 1: that moment, definitely. So Coach Howard has seen me a 746 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 1: tape of Force all the Force fumbles last year, and 747 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: you know I've been talking to him about like, yeah, 748 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 1: I've been watching. I've been watching it. And so when 749 00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 1: the moment came in the ball, he had the ball 750 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 1: and left onm right towards me, I'm like, oh, yeah, 751 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: this is the opportunity to make that punch. So I 752 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 1: went forward and you know I made a big play. 753 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 1: Did you know the second that you probably didn't even 754 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:08,880 Speaker 1: feel like you hit the box it was such a 755 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:10,440 Speaker 1: pure strike. But did you know the second you hit 756 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: that there's no way that he's holding on that ball. 757 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 1: I knew exactly. I punched right on it. I had 758 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 1: a perfect angle, so I was like, I know it's 759 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,759 Speaker 1: coming out. And then you know previously they had a 760 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,319 Speaker 1: couple of balls on the ground previous games, so I 761 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,799 Speaker 1: had to take my chance. What was the kind of 762 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 1: I saw the team's reaction on the field. But let's 763 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,279 Speaker 1: talk about when we go now into the room and 764 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 1: all of that, because one of the things they want 765 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 1: to see, right you come out here at the cross 766 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:30,879 Speaker 1: country mortage camps and trade camp, you do it. Okay, 767 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,880 Speaker 1: Now let's go to a game and see it and 768 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 1: boom immediately or in immediately a turnover right away. So 769 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 1: what were the guys saying, your boys, I'm talking about 770 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:38,880 Speaker 1: coach We'll talk about coach Howard in a second. But 771 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 1: what were the boys saying to you? They're just saying, 772 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 1: great play, you know what they're saying.

They're like, that's what you gotta do. You 775 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,319 Speaker 1: gotta make turnover takeaways as we call them. You gotta 776 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,440 Speaker 1: have takeaways, you know, to change the game. So that 777 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 1: was big for me.

So they're recruiting you, but 792 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 1: you're also recruiting the team that you want to go to. 793 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: You get to make a decision. It's not like you're drafted. 794 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,240 Speaker 1: So what made you want to come to the Cleveland 795 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 1: Browns with a very good safety room?

But what made you want to be a 798 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 1: Cleveland Brown.

Gerard is the is the defensive back of 839 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,359 Speaker 1: the group. What what is the Anthony Bell done so 840 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,600 Speaker 1: well that has gotten him to this point, Because let's 841 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,520 Speaker 1: be honest, there probably wasn't a single person, maybe not 842 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,239 Speaker 1: even the Anthony himself or anybody in the front office 843 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 1: he said, okay, this guy really has a chance to 844 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:31,799 Speaker 1: make our fifty three when they first brought him. It 845 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,319 Speaker 1: is a twenty five year old rookie underrafted, created from 846 00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 1: West Florida, and yet here we are. We're here because 847 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,240 Speaker 1: one the Alpha Awards he's winning on a regular basis. 848 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,920 Speaker 1: So he's making plays. The best way to get notices 849 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 1: to do. What make plays don't go unnoticed in camp, 850 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,520 Speaker 1: especially in a position where he's at. You want to 851 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,479 Speaker 1: do and make every opportunity that persists itself in which 852 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 1: you walk away have an impact. He's done that. So 853 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:56,040 Speaker 1: he's now got the respect of his teammates first and foremost. 854 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,560 Speaker 1: And then after that comes the front office and guy saying, 855 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,760 Speaker 1: you know what, this guy can be that pleasant surprise, 856 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,799 Speaker 1: because every season there's gonna be three or four guys 857 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,279 Speaker 1: that we call pleasant surprises, and so so forth. Some 858 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,400 Speaker 1: guys unfortunately thought they had to make He's gonna bump 859 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 1: them because of what he's doing. And I want to 860 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,440 Speaker 1: go back to what took place with that fumble. That 861 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 1: was the thing of beauty. I watched these guys work 862 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:17,960 Speaker 1: on that on a daily basis, and you know how 863 00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 1: good it feels as a coach to see guys actually 864 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 1: apply what you're teaching them on the practice field to 865 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:26,360 Speaker 1: the actual game day conditions. So he's certainly helping his cause. 866 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,440 Speaker 1: And yes, if he could do some contributions on special teams, 867 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,279 Speaker 1: he's well on his way to making this roster real quickly. 868 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 1: Then give us gonna yell at me. But when you 869 00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 1: hear that our dB coach has made a cut up 870 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 1: for an undrafted free agent to help him, what does that? 871 00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,799 Speaker 1: What's that actually mean? Well, that means to me, And 872 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 1: you do have good guys on this The way coaches 873 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,239 Speaker 1: are now, I'm like, why could I have been born 874 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:52,560 Speaker 1: like twenty years later the nicest supportive and they're not 875 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,840 Speaker 1: trying to just ruin your life, And it's and doing 876 00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,680 Speaker 1: things like that really showing that you care and that 877 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:00,360 Speaker 1: you're trying to put a guy in position where he 878 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,440 Speaker 1: can't succeed. Because Marley normally be like, hey man, you're 879 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,560 Speaker 1: not a starter, You're not an early draft pick I 880 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,640 Speaker 1: don't have time for you, but they don't get down 881 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:09,920 Speaker 1: like that. So the fact that you have that taking 882 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,359 Speaker 1: place and then he's applying it, it just makes it 883 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 1: even more of a special bond to where when you 884 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 1: walk on a football field, you have all of his 885 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,239 Speaker 1: attention and you will to run through two walls for him. 886 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,280 Speaker 1: I think what school is. You can tell he's forgotten 887 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 1: that he's an undrafted free agent. Acy should because he belongs. 888 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:27,160 Speaker 1: He feels like he belongs, and playmaking is saying the same. 889 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,399 Speaker 1: When we come back, we're gonna go around the league. 890 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,360 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Kevin Stefanski Show on the University 891 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:36,239 Speaker 1: Hospitals Cleveland Brown's radio network.
