17
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: gonna be, de Shaun Watson. We are also sure that

18
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,760

19
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: a white face mask? Bring them back, gorgeous, Bring it

20
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,880

21
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: it's elite. It really The problem is our logo, well

22
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: is our helmet, And would you have to do you'd

23
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: have to take the white shadow off of the logo

24
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: to put the white face mask on it in the logo?

25
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: I mean we've had it before. Yeah, and then it's

26
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: just kind of it just is on its own. It

27
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: doesn't have a shadow, it just is. It's just the helmet.

28
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: Here's the helmet, and I guess it would we have

29
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: to be on a dark background. But yeah, we've had

30
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: that logo before because we had that then it was

31
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: gray and then and then it went to the brown. Oh,

32
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: it's just the outline. It's just got black as a

33
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: black Outline's white face mask with black outline. That's it.

34
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: It's easy, yeah, easy, easy, peasy, lemons, bring it back.

35
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: I think it's beautiful. Sun. I couldn't agree with you more. Um.

36
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: I I like the gray one too. I like I

37
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: do think the white ones even really pops um even

38
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: more off of the orange. It looks fantastic. Um it

39
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: is what is your what is your apex us uniform?

40
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: That throwback that we wore last Yeah, you throw that

41
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 1: with the white face mask would be electric. That would

42
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: look good with the white lid to ever did that

43
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: as a one off as always, but as a one off.

44
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: I do love the brown top over the whites. I

45
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: do like the brown over the orange, not as much

46
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 1: as other people do because I know it's the Cardia kids,

47
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 1: and that's a It is a nice uniform. It's a

48
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: lot of color to me. Um, I think are all

49
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: whites are crispy? Even our current all whites are crispy.

50
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: I like that too, Yes, I think that's a good look. Yeah,

51
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: I would. I know that there is a negative feeling

52
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: to the all white because it was worn a lot

53
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: during the two thousand and two thousand tens, just a

54
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: lot by Bernie. That's where I was headed. Like when

55
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: I first got in here, there was an image I

56
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: think it was right there or around is it right

57
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: around the corner of the corner? Is it still there?

58
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: There was the Clay Matthews one was right there, but

59
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: there was one Bernie's around the corner of him, and

60
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: it in the snow, and it's just gorgeous, such a

61
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: great pop. So I love to see it everything, Okay, Yeah,

62
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: apparently it's stream issues or something is Yeah, I like

63
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: I like the white, white face mask, orange lid. And

64
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: I like white over white in the current look with

65
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: the striping and everything with the shoulders, in the socks,

66
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: the whole bit. Um, the Eric Metcalf look, if you will,

67
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: the Bernie looks. And I also like the dark brown

68
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: over white. I'm with you, I'm not. I certainly appreciate

69
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: white people like ground over orange, I get it. Or

70
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: the white over orange, I understand that. Um. But when

71
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: I think of like the look, those are the two

72
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: that come back to me. The white face mask. Really,

73
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: have we ever seen a white face mask on this helmet,

74
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: because it's a different color. It's oranger, it's oranger. Yeah,

75
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: so I don't know that we've ever seen a white

76
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: on this helmet. We've seen, but I don't think we've

77
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: ever seen a white on this helmet. I don't know

78
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: if you've ever seen a gray either. Yeah, I didn't.

79
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: We have a gray last year when we wore the throwbacks,

80
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: but that was a different helmet. That was a white,

81
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: just a singular Well, this is the first year the

82
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: not the same shell. So the same color is the

83
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: same orange, but the same orange yes, yes, but I

84
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: mean the the orange was the new orange. So I

85
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: think this is the first time new orange white face

86
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: mask pretty sure because time they've worn it since like oh,

87
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: three oh four or something like that. Yeah, and it was.

88
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: It's a delight, it is. It looks very very good.

89
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: Imagine melon down there. Just the excellence of taking those

90
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: all off and put them all on it. I mean

91
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 1: they put the video out that's what he was doing.

92
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: It sounds like these are new shells. Yeah, changed them

93
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: all out. No, it is nice. But I do think

94
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: it's great when you can get when we can do

95
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: the new shell, when we can do is We've seen

96
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: teams around the league do this year when we was

97
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: dropping one switched the color. Someone's got one coming up

98
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: that's kind of a surprise out of nowhere. Panther went

99
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: with a black. Now there was one that was an

100
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: unscheduled that could be dropping this weekend. I think there's one.

101
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: That is why am I blanket on it. It It was

102
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: one that wasn't planned for and it just it's an

103
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: it's isn't somebody going with a white lid? It's white

104
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: or black. I just remember seeing it last week on

105
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: social and it popped, and I thought, well, that wasn't

106
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: in the brochure. They called for a white out somewhere

107
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: hold on the NFL white out, and then we were saying, oh,

108
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: is there going to be a white lid? Most of

109
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: these we have, most of these have tracked and we've

110
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: seen them. Um, we're waiting on the cream sickles obviously. Yeah,

111
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: I'm looking the stuff because I know it's somebody. Yeah,

112
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: there's a new one that just popped. It was last week. Um, No,

113
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not seeing it. I don't know

114
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: where it is. There was definitely one, though I remember

115
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: it just happened like a week ago. Was it the Patriots?

116
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: Now that was planned? I don't see any current. Was

117
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: it the Eagles black? Is that the one I was

118
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: thinking of? Or was that that wasn't recent that happened. Yeah,

119
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: it was somebody who did it recently. Yes, it was.

120
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 1: It was a recent one where they threw it on

121
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: or theyre they planned to throw it as all the

122
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: articles I'm finding are from July, when the ones that

123
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: were all announced. All right, we'll figure it out. One

124
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: of our one of our great listeners will will sort

125
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: of somebody will get Yeah, the white I think would

126
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: be cool as if because we've born that too, or

127
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 1: in that helmet. At this point, I don't know how

128
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: the Patriots vanquished the opportunity to wear the buccaneer helmet

129
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: in the cream sickle with because he's not coming back.

130
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: Is the toughest job in equipment Ohio State having to

131
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: put those buckeye leaves on every week. It's got to

132
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: be those colleges that do those things well. High State

133
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: does the most of them. It's a whole helmet full

134
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: of them, and they get battered in a game, and

135
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: then you've got to reapply. Yeah, that's prot and then

136
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: you gotta make sure every kid has the right amount

137
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: because they're all different. Then the helmets change. Yeah they

138
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: all black. Oh yeah, they've done some of that stuff too,

139
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: where they put the black with the red leaves or

140
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: the green. Yeah, that's a lot called those college guys.

141
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,119
Speaker 1: The Oregon guys probably have it most. But I'm guessing

142
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: that was just a bunch of different shells versus having

143
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: to change it very much. Players are back in the

144
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: building today. You'll hear from them. Deshaun Watson among those

145
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: you'll hear from today on the program We have some

146
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: roster updates for yesterday. More bad dudes at the linebacker position.

147
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: Jeremiah Usu Corromoa on I R. J OK appeared in

148
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: eleven games, seventy tackles, four passes defense, two forced fumbles

149
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: for the second year player at a Notre Dame, and

150
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: he had seven tackles for loss. It was fourth on

151
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: the team and tackles second and tackles for lost first,

152
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: and forced fumbles tied with Miles Garrett who also has

153
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: two on the season. Just a monstrous loss. You think

154
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: about the last time that we played the Baltimore Ravens

155
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: in Baltimore, it was Jacob Phillips. It was tacky, tacky,

156
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: and it was j Ok that we're your top three tacklers,

157
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: and now they're all on I R. Yeah, not to

158
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: mention Anthony Walker on I R. So this is tough.

159
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: You had eight tackles for TACKI seven for Phillips, six

160
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 1: for Woosu Corromoa. They had two tackles for last in

161
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: mind a forced fumble, a quarterback hit, a couple of

162
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: passes defense. I mean, those were the guys. And this

163
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: is a team in the Baltimore Ravens that fortunately you're

164
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: not gonna be dealing with Lamar Jackson. But it is

165
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: a team whose entire offense is built around putting linebackers

166
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: in conflict. Yes, and we are gonna have You know,

167
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: Dion Jones played the full way last week fifty nine

168
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: and actually played I thought very well. An interception, seven tackles,

169
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: a couple of passes, defense, He was all over the field.

170
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: But you know, now it's gonna be Tony Fields, Canas,

171
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: Reggie Ragland who just got here, and Jermaine Carter. But

172
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna need you play bass against this team. A

173
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: lot my guesses we're gonna play Ronnie a bit outlinebacker

174
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: this week. But I mean, this is this is the

175
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: This is a very difficult team to deal with. When

176
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: you're not Now, the Browns may catch a huge break,

177
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,599
Speaker 1: and it might not only be not Lamar Jackson, but

178
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: also not Tyler Huntley, who's still in the concussion protocol.

179
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown, the underraft of free agent out of Oregon,

180
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: would be the quarterback. And if you watch last week,

181
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: they won, but they didn't even attempt to really throw

182
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: the ball once he was in No, I mean he

183
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: was a fifty passer when they played. It's Vikings white

184
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 1: That's what it is. A white out. I knew it

185
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: was a Vikings dropped it. They're gonna wear that on Christmas.

186
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: It's gonna be pretty sick. Yeah for them. It's very

187
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: good with a silver face mask on that. Yeah. Well, hey,

188
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: look man, I mean the middle of our the spine

189
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 1: of our defense, if you will, has been gutted, has

190
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: either not played expectation or now at linebacker has been

191
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: absolutely gutted. The middle of the defense is um, it's

192
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: gonna be an adventure. And this defense was built. If

193
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: you thought about if this defense was whold, it was

194
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: really built with two teams in mind. It was built

195
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: to run with the receivers of Cincinnati. It was built

196
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: to chase Lamar Jackson. That's what it was, um, And

197
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: you're really not going to get it. Was there a

198
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: single game where you gotta look at that against those

199
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: two teams because Anthony Walker went out so early. No,

200
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 1: but I mean you still the way that we defended

201
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson and Mark Andrews in the first game was

202
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: very much, very few you saw that. I mean, that's

203
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 1: what it was built to do, and we did a

204
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: good job against Joe Burrow. Honestly, um, in both games

205
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: this year, I mean that was that's the worst certainly

206
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: two games he's ad against anybody, And and you add

207
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: him together and just make it a one average game.

208
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 1: It is by far the worst that he's done against anybody.

209
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: So you've been successful in that regard. The most painful

210
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: thing about that is that in those three games you're

211
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: one and two despite achieving the goals you set out to,

212
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 1: and part of it's because of special teams blunders and

213
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: both of the games against the Ravens and in the

214
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: Bengals this time, it would be an inability to kind

215
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: of punch some things in offensively on a fourth down. Uh,

216
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: it would be an inopportune turnover in the Ravens game,

217
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: the first one, the sex strap fumble in your area.

218
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 1: So it's it's tough. It's tough that you you've you've

219
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: accomplished a lot of the things, you know, one of

220
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: the things, and getting ready for this game. That just

221
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 1: and we go back to the Anthony Schwortzing And I

222
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: hate to be a dead horse, but he was supposed

223
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: to be that guy and he wasn't, and that has

224
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: hindered our ability to be a dominant offense, and yet

225
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: we are still a top I think we're number six

226
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: in offense this year overall, Um, we're still a darn

227
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: good offense. We're number five rushing, number six total offense.

228
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: We're third and explosive place. But if you can figure

229
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: that out, I mean, I think this offense could go nuclear. Yeah,

230
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 1: if you could figure that out. And it's funny, was

231
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: getting ready for it. De Sean Jackson? Just do you

232
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: have a if you know already then you can you

233
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: can admit that and just tell me. But you know

234
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: what de Sean Jackson's averaging per cash this year, no,

235
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: no point of reference, no clue, nineteen point one yards

236
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: a catch. He can still run and make plays. And

237
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: just even de Sean Jackson would have changed this football team.

238
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,719
Speaker 1: It's what I was saying yesterday, when or Monday the

239
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: days start to run together on this. But you don't

240
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: need ten targets. You need ten routes out of the guy.

241
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: I mean it's it. You needed. You needed ten plays

242
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: a game where the defense had to be on its

243
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: heels or a half yard further back for fear that

244
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 1: the top was going to be blown off. And it

245
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: just you didn't have it and you haven't had it. Now.

246
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: You can scheme guys open deep. We do that all

247
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: the time. We do that all time with a Mari

248
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: and DPJ in Chief and several others. You can scheme

249
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: them open deep twenty yards downfield for sure, like you

250
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: have that mid to long range passing game. But the

251
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: bombs over Bagdad stuff. Man, it's just there's no fear

252
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: of it with this personnel. And they thought it would

253
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 1: be Schwartz, it's not. And and it's missing and you

254
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: don't even have to hit it every time. It's more

255
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: you can run it. And it's the space it creates

256
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: then on the inward breaking routes for Donovan, people's Jones

257
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: and Amari, the space it creates down the seam for

258
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: the Chief, all of those things. And we're being we're

259
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: excellent without it. But I'll say it again, you know

260
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get that this year. And and well,

261
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: there's no reason why this team can't go four, no

262
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: and at least make things interesting these final four games.

263
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 1: There really is no reason they can't. Will they will see,

264
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: But that to me is priority number one. That's me,

265
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 1: Nathan's girl, My number one priority for the team. And

266
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: I really felt last year obviously it was fixed the

267
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: passing in which meant the quarterback. So you got Watson

268
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: bring Clowney back. That was good. And then as we

269
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: went through the season, it was is Swarts the guy?

270
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: And if not, if we don't have that definitive, definitive

271
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: yes by the training camp, get me Deshan Jackson, will Fuller,

272
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton, Emmanuel Sanders who was retired and obviously

273
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 1: didn't want to play. But get me somebody that's got

274
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: a little bit of juice to at least open something.

275
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: And this is the other There's so many layers to

276
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: that too. The best example I can think of like

277
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: deep threat slash or quarterback with big arm. Two thousand

278
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: fourteen National Championship Game, Ohio State plays J. T. Barrett.

279
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: They do not beat Alabama Cardale Jones because of his

280
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: ability to throw the ball deep down the field. Landon

281
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: Collins was lining up a yard further back than he

282
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: was before. And what did that allow for space? It

283
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: allowed for the underneath, It allowed for the deep, and

284
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: allowed for Zeke Elliott. Same thing here, It's just an

285
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: extra half yard back. It's just the thought of oh

286
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: I don't want to give up the home run. And

287
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: right now we don't have anybody on the roster who

288
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: has instills that fear. Where's fail for cardale for and

289
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: you remember that in terms of just probably the tank scenarios,

290
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: it's a hell of a thirty for thirty because I

291
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: feel very strongly that he was coming up here to

292
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: his high school to turn pro and didn't ended up

293
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: back at Ohio State and they kind of half measured

294
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: the whole next season and I don't even know where

295
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: he would ended up and drafted, but he was probably

296
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: would have been a second round pick coming out of

297
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: that run. He had to the national title, came up

298
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: to Cleveland, up to Glenville to go pro, and then

299
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: has the press conference and then doesn't says I'm returning,

300
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: and everyone's like, wait what really? You sure like go what? So? Yeah,

301
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: that was a big one. I'm gonna ask you, like

302
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: your Peyton, what what changed? Um? I think powerful influencers

303
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: wanted insurance in case of injury because you had Braxon Miller,

304
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: who was hurt the previous year, was a two time

305
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: Big Ten Player of the Year, so he was coming

306
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: off a catastrophic shoulder injury. And there was talking he

307
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: was going to transfer outer. They end up switching him

308
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: to receiver. Were you here when he was here briefly,

309
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: cardel Or Braxton, Yeah, I was here when he was here. Yeah,

310
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: I know he's in here's a receiver. Second year they

311
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: do it was either my first or second year. Yeah,

312
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: because he had had the little stint in Houston, and

313
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: then J. T. Barrett was coming off of a leg

314
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: injury that was very serious and like if Cardell would

315
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: have gone pro, they wouldn't have had a single active

316
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: quarterback for spring football. So yeah, the rest is history.

317
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: The leg it was, it was, and that was it. Um.

318
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, those things are needed bigly. Um. You know

319
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: for this team as you get into that offseason wish list,

320
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot to play for this year.

321
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of fascinating stuff I can't

322
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: wait to see. But it's all predicated on Watson. That's

323
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: a whole operation. I mean, these injuries on defense are real. Um,

324
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: you know, whatever this defense is the last four games,

325
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: it's it almost really doesn't matter to me. I really

326
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: just want to see Deshaun Watson operate in the next

327
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: four games, get better and better every week if he

328
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: gets as good as he got between week one and

329
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: week two, as it started between two and three and

330
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: three and now you're onto something. He is still right now,

331
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: and I think it's very understandable a see it open thrower. Um,

332
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: he's not anticipatory yet because he probably doesn't trust everything.

333
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: Yet it got better as that game did when you

334
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: watch the tape. It got better certainly in the second half.

335
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: He was late on the interception, and that's something obviously

336
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: he knows he needs to clean up. But he started

337
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: to see it more clearly as the game went on.

338
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: Something I talked with Sa Fancy about today as a

339
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 1: matter of fact, and he absolutely agree with that assessment

340
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 1: and is excited to see where it goes. I think

341
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: there's a lot of excitement about what Deshaun Watson could be.

342
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: Now here's the thing that sucks. We don't have a dome,

343
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: and so these final four games are all going to

344
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: be played in most likely bad conditions. Certainly it looks

345
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 1: like the next two in Cleveland will be. And so

346
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: all you want to do these games is throw the

347
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: ball forty forty fifty times a game. Let him just

348
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: stare it out, slinging around, sling it around the yard,

349
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 1: get comfortable, get as many reps, get as many looks

350
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 1: as he possibly can, play in the NFL again. And

351
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,479
Speaker 1: I don't know how possible or how feasible that's going

352
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,959
Speaker 1: to be. And that's what goes back to my original statement.

353
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: Let's get domes for everybody. Everybody. You know what happens

354
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: in the dome. Perfect conditions, perfect conditions. Yeah, you'd you'd

355
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: be able to get the Buckeyes if you get a

356
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: dome too, you'd get them in the first round of

357
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 1: that college football playoff on a dome. So this is

358
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 1: a thirty four high in real feel of twenty uh

359
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 1: UM max wins of thirty three, average win seventeen. That's

360
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 1: what you're looking at, uh for this week's terrible, but

361
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: certainly next week even more Christmas Eve is even more ambitious.

362
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: Twenty three on the high for that one. Listen, Jack,

363
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 1: I don't like any of that at all. I'm not

364
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: interested in now same We'll go around the NFL. Bernie

00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: left the team though they bench, you mean just left.

391
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 1: He's like, that's it, I'm good. I'll see down he's

00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: having nee surgery and he's going on ir No, No,

393
00:19:56,040 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: he left the team had to in it and go.

394
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 1: It's a chronic. Yeah, because he left, they put him

395
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: bench and then he left. So on the bye week

396
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 1: he was just like, I'm good, I'll see on down

397
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: the road. A rivet a chay boys. It feels like

398
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,239
Speaker 1: there are four nice game checks for him. But she's

399
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: gonna get now since they placed someone I r. I

400
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: guess when you're invested veteran anyone, once you're on that

401
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: roster a week, when you see you're guaranteed. Yeah, he's

402
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: made a lot of money in the league. Yeah, but

403
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: still it doesn't feel like a good teammate. And everything

404
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:30,959
Speaker 1: you hear about him is he is a good teammate.

405
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: I'll never forget it. First press comperence ever heard the

406
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: kid talks to the National Championship game and you saw

407
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 1: the tape and I mean won the Heisman sitting from

408
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: all these people. I just thought, I just don't know

409
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: if this kid's ever could lead men, like it just

410
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: was so shy, so quiet, soft spoken. I'm sure you

411
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: ran into him at the combine like it was the

412
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: same thing, Like it was it was almost excuse me,

413
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: what was that? You know, Like everything was under his breath,

414
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: everything you could tell he just was very uncomfortable in

415
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: with the lights and the cameras and many comfortable comfortable uncomfortable. Yeah, yeah,

416
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: he does. Um so Desmond Ritter will get a run.

417
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to see what they have and Ritterer

418
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: if he is a long term solution there or not.

419
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: At the very least, they're gonna be a landing spot

420
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: for a quarterback, whether it's through the draft or through

421
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 1: free agency or trade. Atlanta needs one, So they got

422
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: to figure out if Ritters it for the rest of

423
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 1: the season or else they're gonna go figure out something

424
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: else in the draft or one of those other avenues.

425
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: There's a lot of a lot of weapons there. I

426
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: had forgotten that they traded Ridley to the Jags, and

427
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna just for like a bag of balls right

428
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 1: step right on in there, isn't it for next to nothing. Yeah,

429
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 1: next to nothing, that's right. NFL and m philip A

430
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: reviewing the handling of Davante Parker's head injury during Monday

431
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: night's game against the Cardinals. This is the second time

432
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: this has happened where something was shown on television it

433
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: was like, wow, that seems like there's more going on there.

434
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: And it happened to Miami the last time. Around this

435
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: time it's to his former team or one of their

436
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: former players in Davante Parker, and his own teammate was

437
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: the one, Nelson Aghaloor, who based They demanded that the

438
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: play be stopped to get him looked at, which was

439
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 1: good teammating by him. Yeah. I will say it is

440
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: very difficult for like the officials to see all of

441
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 1: that agreed, you know, so you know, sometimes if somebody

442
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: does see it, it's um, it's important. Deebo Samuel was

443
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 1: not put on. I r expected to rejoin the forty

444
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 1: niners and about three weeks, Yeah, I wouldn't. I wouldn't

445
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: play until playoffs. They're gonna be the one seat anyway.

446
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: And then you know, brock Purty, you don't know what's

447
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: going on. We're unsure nothing on that. No, no, that's

448
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 1: what they're saying. Pedro weighed in on that. My I said,

449
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: my dad, this thing, did you see? Richard Sherman was

450
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: talking about how good Kyle was on Kevin Clark's thing,

451
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 1: which was awesome, and that he knew he forced. Quinty

452
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: even changed the rules in his Cover three based defense

453
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: because Kyle exploited their rules so much. My dad is

454
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: not one to appreciate the great Just like when I

455
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: was a kid, where we were gonna lose every game

456
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: we had with Joe Montange knew narrator, we did not

457
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: lose many games. In fact, we won the vast majority

458
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 1: of them. Uh So, I don't know. I don't know

459
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: what he wants. It wants. He wants all the playmakers

460
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 1: to make all the plays that are needed to win,

461
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: but he also wants them to never have the ball

462
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: so they don't get hurt. And that's a fun to explain.

463
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: Make all the plays to win, but just don't just

464
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: always run out of bounds, but never be in harm's way.

465
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 1: It happens, Yeah, it does. Um, they are so dangerous

466
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: if it's I mean, even with Purdie, I mean, it

467
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: doesn't even I don't know if they're good enough to

468
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 1: beat whoever comes out of the a f C without

469
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: with like a brock Purty quarterback situation, that might be

470
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: too tall of a mountain to scale. But if they

471
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: can win the NFC with somebody like that, no doubt. Yes,

472

00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: before we get hit all the football stuff. I'm not

489
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: sure if you saw this or not, but we're gonna

490
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: wear the white face masks on the orange lids like

491
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: the one you wore back in the day. My friend,

492
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: what is your favorite Brown's uniform that you wore or

493
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 1: it maybe you would have liked to have worn? What,

494
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: what color combination, what face mask, etcetera. You know. As

495
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 1: good to be with you today. So much has changed

496
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: in the last three five years, but one thing that

497
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: hasn't changed Bo and Nathan is, in my fashion sense,

498
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 1: leaves a lot to be desired. So I completely tremendous

499
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: fashion account. This is not true. We've seen you at

500
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: the Miami press conference returned pro. I don't buy this

501
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: at all. I've seen you in the Zuba's pants at

502
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: the NFL Pro stuff. Come on, buddy, I will not

503
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: stand for you not being a fashion icon. Hey. The

504
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 1: old school zoom Us, the old school eight peck, you know,

505
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: the Coulterback Club. We we love that stuff. But you know,

506
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: you guys were so astute in the last segment. Are

507
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 1: still talking about the last four games basically being in

508
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: bad weather and stuff, and I mean just somewhat ingest

509
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: and stuff. But the white, the white face masks and stuff.

510
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: With the way we used to have mud spray painted

511
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: green as our as our field and stuff. By the end,

512
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 1: by the end of the game, it didn't matter if

513
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: it started out white or brown. By the end of

514
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: the game, they were all brown spray painting of the field.

515
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: I mean you remember those images for sure. Yeah, not great,

516
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: not great, Bernie. Obviously not the result we wanted down

517
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. But I think a lot of the focus

518
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: certainly now, especially for these last four games, onto Shawn Watson.

519
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,719
Speaker 1: I thought he made big progress week one to week two.

520
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 1: What did you see, you know, seeing twenty seventy six

521
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 1: yards touched down the interception six Russias for thirty three yards.

522
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 1: Um to see what happened in Houston and first in

523
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 1: the pros. There's no real substitute, there's no moral victories.

524
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 1: It's ws and elves and stuff. But compared to what

525
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: happened and offensively in Houston the week before, just seven

526
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: days later, to see the progress to Sean made and

527
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: being more comfortable out there, of course, there's a few

528
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 1: players he wants back, of course, only ending up ultimately

529
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 1: with ten points. Um isn't isn't what you want in

530
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 1: the Battle of Ohio. But his progress, um from in

531
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: just seven days what was was impressive, Bernie the you

532
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 1: know the thing that when you think about what he's

533
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: trying to do here seven hundred days without playing and

534
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: then obviously it was rough against Houston with some of

535
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: the one hops and stuff, and then you did feel

536
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 1: him building as the game went along in Cincinnati with

537
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 1: his anticipatory throws and so forth. Um the word I

538
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: think this always comes back to his trust, right, because

539
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: you've gotta trust the guy is gonna be where you

540
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be when he's gonna be there. You've

541
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: got to trust that the play is set up the

542
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: way that it's designed, and that you're supposed to be

543
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: where you're gonna be. Can you build the type of

544
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: trust necessary to play at a high level in the

545
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: NFL in the middle of the season. It's challenging to

546
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: build that trust that's necessary, sir, in the at the

547
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: middle to the end of the season. Unfortunately, coupled with

548
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: the fact that you know we were talking that we've

549
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: talked to a couple of times to the course of

550
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: the year about Jacoby in particular the first Cincinnati Bengals

551
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: game where he ran the ball into the left the

552
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: left side and had that uh, that rushing touchdown, and

553
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: we remember Jacoby saying how we had a flashback to

554
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: the yel A Chargers game where he threw the through

555
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: the interception, and that the game is slowing down for him,

556
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: and a lot of people have said, well, the games

557
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 1: slowing down. He has kind of demons in his head.

558
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: He's remembering the bad plays. And we talked about I

559
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: believe a stupe lee on the show that actually that's

560
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: an awesome sign that the game is slowing down from

561
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: him and it's almost in slow motion. And when the

562
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: game was in slow motion for myself, boy, it was

563
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: it was so much more fun to play. And after

564
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: the boats your your point of the Shawan not playing

565
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: in seven hunter days to have played now two games

566
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: and in seven seven eight days and stuff, it's really

567
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: unrealistic to think that the game is gonna be slow

568
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: for him. And yes, there's the trust with the receivers,

569
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: but there's also that confidence in in that belief in

570
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: what we're seeing is accurate. And until you really get

571
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: those live game reps and you get out there during

572
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: the game, you don't really have that belief that you're

573
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: seeing what you're seeing in the amount of time, because

574
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: a three step stop is one point seven at two

575
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: point two seconds. And yes, sitting in a video room

576
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: or in a meetium room, it's one thing to make

577
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: that determination. But when you're out there on the field,

578
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: the bullets are flying and you've got those three hundred

579
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: pound defensive linement trying to decapitate you. That makes it

580
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: that makes it a lot more challenging to make those decisions. Yeah,

581
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: and you've got three guys who have more than ninety

582
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: cur sacks coming to town on the Ravens, a couple

583
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: of great blitzing linebackers as well, and so you would

584
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: expect Shaun Watson to see some pressure in this game.

585
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: But I want to talk about you mentioned the weather, Bernie.

586
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: You know idea, really these last four games will be

587
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: played in domes. We would get to see Deshaun Watson

588
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: in perfect environments against NFL defense is thrown at fifty

589
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:08,959
Speaker 1: times a game. Really, to just try to get him

590
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: as many reps as possible, right to go out the season.

591
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: But we're looking at some tough weather conditions, certainly here

592
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: you know, Washington will likely be better, but it's not

593
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: significantly better. And then Pittsburgh, you know, who knows the

594
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: January eighth, what that's gonna look like. How is the quarterback?

595
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: Do you deal with that? And can you still you know,

596
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,959
Speaker 1: get a high throwing, you know, type of attack out there,

597
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: a high volume passing attack to get him those reps

598
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: in this weather? And is it more about the temperature?

599
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: Is it more about the wind? Um? The latter gives me.

600
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: Still makes me when I see all the wind that

601
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: comes in Cleveland. That's the part that makes me somewhat

602
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: happy to be retired these days. The cold, the rain,

603
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: the snow, you could deal with the wind and the

604
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: way it swirls within our stadium is is the Achilles

605
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: seal for for offensive football? And that and I'm with you.

606
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: I would like to see decent weather, nice weather to

607
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: where you're able to run NFL offensive plays, we're able

608
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: to throw the ball and get a feel for what

609
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: we could do um throwing the ball and stuff. And also,

610
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:17,959
Speaker 1: I hate to say it like this because I've been

611
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: the biggest proponent of run the damn ball most of

612
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: the season and stuff. But I don't want to see

613
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb in particular, take excessive hits running the ball

614
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 1: excessively times a game these last few games at the

615
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: end of the season, unless it really matters for the playoffs.

616
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: And yeah, I'm sure he would probably disagree with that,

617
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: But you know this is he's a superstar. He's a

618
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: long term career player here for our Browns, and it's

619
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: essential that a Nicke Jubb is at the peak of

620
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: his game next year. So yeah, it's coupled with keeping

621
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: a Nicke Chubb probably healthy and getting him to the offsete.

622
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: Coupled with, um, we don't the probably this last this

623
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: week or last week will be the last time we

624
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: talked about DeShawn not playing in several hundred days, and

625
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: we get into the routine of him getting comfortable and

626
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: seeing what he could do. Yeah, I Nathan, I said

627
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: that yesterday, Bernie, Like I mean, I you have a

628
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: point zero four percent chance of making the postseason, Like

629
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: I want to see Deshaun slinging all over the place.

630
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: I want to I want to get this pass game

631
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: running so that by the time you get to next year,

632
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: you kind of have a feel of what works and

633
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: what doesn't. And Bernie, I think that goes for schematic

634
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: what works and what doesn't with Watson because this is

635
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: a flip from what Jacoby was to what Deshaun is.

636
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: And then also personnel wise, right who fits with the

637
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: type of offense this is going to be because rest

638
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: assured next year in camp, this is Deshaun Watson's team,

639
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: right yeah, well right on, right on point. I was

640
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: actually gonna say that it's it's it's imperative and important

641
00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: for Deshaun and stuff, but equally as important for the team,

642
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: for the organization, for the coaching staff, uh for Ounce Stampell,

643
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: for coach, the fancy, because they also want to see

644
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: what what DeShawn does, what the shawan is comfortable with,

645
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: who he has to report with, just as much as

646
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: Deshaun wants to feel comfortable with and trust with the receivers,

647
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: the old line, his footwork in the pocket, the play calling,

648
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: the game planning. I mean it goes both ways. Where um,

649
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: his playing, his being able to throw and kind of

650
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 1: spin the ball around out there also gives the coaching staff,

651
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: the organization, the people around the organization to see what

652
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: he's best aff too. I want to ask you something

653
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: about you know, look, one of the things that we

654
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,719
Speaker 1: saw in this offense, and it's been very good, right

655
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,959
Speaker 1: it is. It's number six total offense in the league scoring,

656
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: So obviously you could do a better job finishing some drives.

657
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: But one thing that has been apparent is that schematically

658
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: we're exceptional. This is an exceptional scheme. We are able

659
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: to get guys open. But it's also very apparent to me,

660
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: Burn what is missing from this team and what we

661
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: had hoped Anthony Schwartz would be is a guy that

662
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: can take the top off of a defense and a

663
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: guy that can create space due to the threat of

664
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 1: his vertical speed, his ability to win over the top,

665
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: all of those things. When Deshaun Watson led the league

666
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: in passing in Houston, he had Will Fuller and Brandon Cooks,

667
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 1: both guys who could get down the field. And what

668
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: that does is it creates space. So it makes am

669
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: are more effective, it makes DPG more effective, It creates

670
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: more space in the seam for David Ajoku. I think

671
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 1: it's kind of amazing we've done what we've done without that.

672
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: But Bernie, would you agree with the assessment that that's

673
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,359
Speaker 1: probably the number one thing this offense needs and number

674
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: two just from a quarterbacks perspective, what does it do

675
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: when you have somebody that defenses have to account for vertically? Wow,

676
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 1: big Doc, you're right on point with us there. I mean,

677
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 1: we talked last week about how the Bengals against Patrick

678
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 1: Mahomes have been Russia three, spined, worn and dropped in

679
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: seventh and that we may see some of that against

680
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,919
Speaker 1: the Sean because the Shawn's got good wheels, that's gonna

681
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,919
Speaker 1: run the ball. And then but we also pointed out

682
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: that the sixth Bengals lead the league or in one

683
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: of the top teams in the league. Its zo cover

684
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: blitz us. They do six to ten of them every game.

685
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: We got a few of them in the game the

686
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: other day. And right where you're talking about when you're

687
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 1: not afraid of taking the top off the defense, when

688
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: the dvs are afraid of you be and bot running

689
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: past them. They squat when they're inside, and damn just

690
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 1: travel or seeing squatting inside. Yet when you see the Dolphins,

691
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: you see some of the speed teams with type receivers,

692
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: those dvs are apprehensive. They're afraid to get deep. They're

693
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: getting an ex justice step or two just a foot

694
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: or two a yard, but they're a foot or two

695
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 1: or yard deeper, and that's just that little bit of

696
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: space either allow to throw the ball underneath super easy

697
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 1: or when they come up and then that in that

698
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:07,399
Speaker 1: kite uh kind of press splotting coverage bro right over

699
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 1: the top. It's like stealing when you got that. Yeah,

700
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,280
Speaker 1: and it's something that you know was identifiable in camp,

701
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 1: that was needed. The hope was that Anthony Schwartz would

702
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: be able to be that he hasn't, for myrriad reasons,

703
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: been able to. And now you can manufactured open, but

704
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: it's still it's that mentality on the back end. You

705
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 1: don't need it that often, you just need somebody. I

706
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,760
Speaker 1: want to ask you one of the things schematically with Watson,

707
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: because one thing that we obviously haven't seen too much

708
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 1: of with Kevin Stefanski here is the RPO much of it.

709
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: I'm trying to chime in too, but just how do

710
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 1: you say and and co Al Stampell chats that have

711
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: taken some flak on some of the play call Um,

712
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: you kind of quickly said how the coach is, how

713
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: you have to manufacture the deep throws to get open um,

714
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:58,439
Speaker 1: you absolutely, You're absolutely right. Unfortunately and or having limitations

715
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:04,879
Speaker 1: in the speed department, we actually guys, yeah, to get

716
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: open deep So I know, I'm not trying to lobby

717
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,879
Speaker 1: to be a coach next year, by god, complimenting them.

718
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 1: What they really have come up with creative ways to

719
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:19,240
Speaker 1: create it, and it's that's easier, that's not as easy

720
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 1: to do. Yeah, we talked about that in the first

721
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: hour of Look you're you're You've gotten deep shots with

722
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: Chief down the seam. You've gotten them with them are

723
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: you've gotten with DPJ. But there's not anybody that we feared,

724
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 1: you know, bombs right fifty yards downfield, take a shot.

725
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 1: You know you need ten of those a game. A

726
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: guy who scared somebody, We don't have it. Um, I

727
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: want to ask you about the r p O game.

728
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,240
Speaker 1: There were eight I think r p O s counted

729
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: uh in the game for de Shaun against Houston. There

730
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: were a couple of them last week as well. It's

731
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 1: obviously a part of his life in something that he

732
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: did the whole way growing up through Clemson and in

733
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: his time in Houston. Um, how will how do you

734
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 1: think coach to Fantasy Alex van Pelt, the company will

735
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: integrate that. By the way, this is all going to

736
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 1: have to marry because it's a different mentality for the

737
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: offensive line too, in terms of what they're allowed to

738
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 1: do in the r p O game. So Bill Callahan's

739
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 1: group is gonna have to be on board with that.

740
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:07,800
Speaker 1: It might have to be something in the off season.

741
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: But how do you think that will marry into what

742
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:15,359
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski's identity offensively is. I do believe that will

743
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:19,359
Speaker 1: marry well into the identity of the team. Coach Stefanski

744
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: san the Chub, Coach Callahan, your line. But that's exactly

745
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: where I think the r p O game and the

746
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: trust game has issues. In the seven hundred days of

747
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: inactivity and coming in here in week twelve, thirteen fourteen,

748
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: with only four games to go, it's that's where it's

749
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 1: really hard to have your timing, have your trust, have

750
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: your confidence on a play that is uh where there's

751
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: multiple reads where you're trying to make a decision and

752
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 1: one point seven seconds where you have to have your

753
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: your brain, your head, your footwork, your arm, and your

754
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: understanding of the offense, your belief in the old line,

755
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 1: confidence in the huddle, confidence in the pocket. All of

756
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: that has to be in and and really homeostasis to

757
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,800
Speaker 1: be able to kind of one of those r p

758
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: o s. That's the things that I believe that here

759
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter of the season is the challenging

760
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: thing to to get on the same page with it.

761
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 1: That's the thing with the whole offseason. I believe next

762
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:29,839
Speaker 1: year will be significantly better at and that that's that's

763
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: that's something UM initially in Houston and last week in Cincinnati. UM,

764
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: that is the probably the hardest thing right now to

765
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: get the timing on it. You know, it's clear that

766
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: he's got a good rhythm with your guy David the

767
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: Joku who scored again last week catching the first touchdown

768
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 1: from the Shawn Watson. And when you have a tight

769
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: end that you can use in so many ways like that, Bernie,

770
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,439
Speaker 1: what does that do for a quarterback? Yeah? And Nate

771
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: and I love my tight ends. And you know, I've

772
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 1: been high on the David Chief and the joke who

773
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: you know, seven catches, sixty nine yards a touchdown. He's

774
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: probably the size becoming dominant in the past game. I'd

775
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 1: be hard pressed to find a tight end who's a

776
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 1: block better than chief right now? So you know, I

777
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: I think that David and Joe who is absolutely not

778
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,919
Speaker 1: just having in a Pro Bowl year, but he's having

779
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 1: at all Pro year. He's first year. Him and Travis

780
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: Kelsey or the first year, the two tight ends I

781
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:29,320
Speaker 1: want in my huddle. You're right about that. And Bernie,

782
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 1: I want to say there was one play that I

783
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: saw in that game from d Sean that reminded me.

784
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 1: It was like a page out of the Bernie Kozar playbook.

785
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: You have a screen set up to the left, it's

786
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 1: blown up, so you just spin around, sprint out to

787
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: the right, put a defender in conflict in space, and

788
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,439
Speaker 1: and just popped the ball over his head for twenty yards.

789
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 1: Was that was like when you saw that, where you like,

790
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 1: that's vintage Kozar right there, my mobility, He's taking another

791
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: page right out of my playbook. I felt like that

792
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: was a co star on that touchro But even even

793
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,359
Speaker 1: in even in Disney World dream Land, that Bertie coast

794
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: Or didn't have that athleticism and that late work behind me?

795
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 1: Was that was that a play? Though? In all seriousness,

796
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 1: when you see his ability, people talk about making plays

797
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: in and out of structure and instructure, we saw him

798
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: rip some beautiful balls. The one to Donovan People's Jones

799
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:18,800
Speaker 1: on that post where you hit him right and stride,

800
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 1: or the deep dig was a great throw. But when

801
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:22,800
Speaker 1: you can make a play like that where a screen

802
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 1: is blown up and you just improvise and turn it

803
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: into a twenty yard chunk play by running around, you know,

804
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 1: is that one of the things that gets you excited

805
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,399
Speaker 1: because he's so good instructure, but that when you see

806
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 1: what he can do out of structure, you say, even

807
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:39,959
Speaker 1: if the call doesn't work, he can still make wrong right. Yeah. Absolutely,

808
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: his ability in that game and again only still at

809
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: ten points. And I'm not saying this to be uh

810
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: Deshaun's marketing rap or or to stroke him and stuff,

811
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,839
Speaker 1: but his ability to make plays in rhythm. He made

812
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: place in the pocket and then when plays deteriorate, his

813
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: athleticism to make something out of an I think is

814
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 1: is really artistic to watch. And that's the type of

815
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: soft where um, that's let type of stuff where keeping that,

816
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: keeping that materializing, keeping that going is essential for our

817
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 1: success in the future. Bertie, you were Northeast Ohio kids,

818
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 1: so you grew up playing an inclement weather, knew what

819
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: it was all about. You go down to you and

820
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 1: you play in the perfect conditions most of the time

821
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: down there, and you come back and then it becomes

822
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: part of your life playing here. Deshaun Watson's a Georgia kid.

823
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:32,919
Speaker 1: He played at Clemson that he played in a dome

824
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: in Houston, largely dome or warm climates in the NFL,

825
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 1: some in the postseason, but but not something that he

826
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,240
Speaker 1: had to face all the time. Are there any tricks

827
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: of the trade to it? Are there any little things

828
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:46,280
Speaker 1: that you know innately growing up in this climate, whereas

829
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 1: if you don't, you wouldn't anything you could pass along

830
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 1: to him or even any other warm climate teammates you've

831
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: had in the past who you know didn't know the

832
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 1: difference in playing in cold versus not. Yeah, there's there's

833
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: absolutely there's absolute lutely tricks to the trade. And there's

834
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 1: absolutely um idiosyncrasies that you could maximize within our stadium.

835
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 1: And it absolutely starts with the wind. Me and Phil

836
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,760
Speaker 1: Dawson needs to go back with all of our meteorology

837
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: and figure out wind patterns and stuff. But the way

838
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: it goes in there and I absolutely recommend to all

839
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks to go to each corner of the stadium,

840
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 1: each pylon before the game, throwing up grass up and

841
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 1: hear the sea, which way it's swirling, which way it's going,

842
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:38,280
Speaker 1: and stuff with that. Absolutely um the way that Cleveland

843
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:41,320
Speaker 1: Browns has scored six touchdowns to start the season of

844
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: the first drive off this season, the way we're able

845
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 1: to script place early in the game. There's actually I

846
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: would have two types of game plans for the end

847
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 1: of the year for bad weather games, and there was

848
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 1: bad weather wind type plays that were really heavy with motions,

849
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 1: ships in person own groups and just like we're able

850
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: to something that's create some some screenplays, some kind of

851
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: key easy throws early in the games with motions, personnel,

852
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 1: um groups and stuff. You're able to do that. You're

853
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 1: able to do that in bad weather games. So I

854
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: actually like to almost save some of my motions, personnel,

855
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: um kind of easy plays. And then you stand up

856
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: on days where it's nice weather, nice days to throw,

857
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,399
Speaker 1: because when you get a nice day and you can

858
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: throw the fades and you can throw the ball down

859
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: the field, sometimes you don't necessarily need to trick to

860
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 1: the other team when you're physically better than and and

861
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 1: physically we're physically been more dominant I think running the

862
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 1: ball wise than most teams this year in in inadverse

863
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: windy weather. Sometimes you're you're able to um. I don't

864
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: want to say trick the guys more, but with your personality, groups,

865
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 1: your motions and yes, you're about to come almost easier

866
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 1: place to take advantage of of things. Not make big

867
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 1: mistakes in the bad weather and leave it for the

868
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,320
Speaker 1: other team to make the mistakes. You're the best buddy.

869

Speaker 1: is something that you know, is the reason why you

887
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,319
Speaker 1: know I pick to come to Cleveland, is the play

888

Speaker 1: in the world. And uh, you know, I've been hearing things.

890
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 1: I've been saying it on TV. I've been seeing it

891
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,359
Speaker 1: from Afar, you know, from different players and guys that's

892
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 1: new to this team this year. Also just like myself, UM,

893
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 1: what they talked about it and the experience. So I'm

894
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: looking forward to being able to playing fund of them.

895
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 1: San did you see those levels when you were hoping

896
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 1: from the game one to game two? Of course, you

897
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 1: know that's the that's the key of the game is

898
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 1: just being able to approve reaching every week. This is

899
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,320
Speaker 1: uh an approving league, and you can't be able to

900
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: you don't want to kind of go down each and

901
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 1: every week. So, uh, last week was definitely an improvement. Um.

902
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 1: You know, of course we want to score more points

903
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 1: and win the game. But you know, if you speak individually, yeah,

904
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:03,400
Speaker 1: it was a definitely improvement. But I have a long

905
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 1: way to go. Is there a specific area like we

906
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 1: talked about, there's something specifically you felt like really took

907
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: that job. Just everything the mechanics to the operation of

908
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 1: the offense, to decision making to uh you know, completing

909
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 1: balls on time. Um, just everything was just uh complete

910
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 1: improvement from my from my game. Do you feel like

911
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 1: it's you know, you'd mentioned you don't know when it's

912
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 1: gonna come back fully through, right, Um so if you

913
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 1: kind of had to, I guess way where you're at.

914
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:38,879
Speaker 1: How close do you feel like the player that you are?

915
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not close to where I'm where I'm at, um,

916
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 1: And you know I don't want to be where I

917
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 1: was in I want to be better. So you know,

918
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 1: I have a long way to go. I want to

919
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,360
Speaker 1: continue to improve. I want to you know, be that

920
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,360
Speaker 1: that player. Whenever I step on the field, no one

921
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: can stop us. And uh, you know that's my mentality,

922
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:56,840
Speaker 1: But you know, we have to go out there and

923
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 1: continue to show that and try to do that and

924
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 1: you know, not just talk about it, but actually prove

925
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 1: it on the field. So I'm nowhere near where I

926
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 1: want to be, um and this team also is nowhere

927
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,240
Speaker 1: near where we want to be. So we gotta continue

928
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: to just keep growing and finish the season strong, Suan.

929
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 1: Is hard to kind of not put a timetable on

930
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 1: it in your mind, knowing like I think, you get

931
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: four games left and you got a law season kind

932
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 1: of get back to where you were. Is it kind

933
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 1: of hard not to put a time on it. No,

934
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 1: I don't put limits on myself. I don't put timetables

935
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 1: on myself. Like I said, each and every day, I

936
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,799
Speaker 1: just try to find a way to improve. So if

937
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 1: that's you know, mentally, if that's you know, leadership, if

938
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 1: that's uh, you know, the student of the game play calling,

939
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 1: getting on the same page with Kevin a VP and

940
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 1: those guys, like, every day is an opportunity for me

941
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:44,920
Speaker 1: to improve. So I don't want to put any limits

942
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 1: or no timetable on myself because I'm setting myself up

943
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 1: for you know, who knows disappointment or something like that.

944
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 1: If I don't meet that time, I'm already talked about

945
00:48:55,600 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 1: getting sure office. You can see that formatters. Yeah, that's

946
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: the I mean, of course, that's what we wanna, you know,

947
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:09,359
Speaker 1: aim for us being able to be explosive, get those

948
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 1: big trumps downfield, um, each and every time. But you know,

949
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 1: before we do that, we have to do the little

950
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: things right, and that's taking the you know, a little

951
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: you know easy place that the defense give us, you know,

952
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 1: the run game, you know, getting that going, and once

953
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 1: we can kind of put all that together, then the

954
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 1: big place is gonna, you know, take care of yourself.

955
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: So if we can do a little things right, then

956
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 1: the big things will take care of yourself. But I

957
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 1: agree with Tomorrow, you like, that's what we want. That's

958
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 1: what we have the athletes and the talent to be

959
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:34,759
Speaker 1: able to make those exposed to place, and we just

960
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 1: gotta go out there and make sure we do it.

961
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 1: Can be used to the weather, Uh yeah, it's you know,

962
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 1: it's the chili. But when I'm on the field, you know,

963
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:45,720
Speaker 1: I just I just be less so locked in on football.

964
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:47,439
Speaker 1: So you know, I don't be worried about the weather

965
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 1: so far. Oh yeah, So hopefully it stays that way.

966
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 1: Reasons defense with them, Patrick Crane is playing really well

967
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:01,959
Speaker 1: in plays. What about you know what challenge. They present

968
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 1: a lot of challenges, you know, and this is a

969
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:06,839
Speaker 1: defense that don't it's very hard to find a weakness. Uh.

970
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:08,840
Speaker 1: You know, they're talented all across the board, and so

971
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: you have to get them credit from the d line,

972
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 1: linebackers to the secondary and then they can just roll

973
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 1: guys in. I think the biggest thing for them is,

974
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,319
Speaker 1: you know, they have depth. So regardless of somebody go out,

975
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:21,839
Speaker 1: it's another guy that's come in and play very very well.

976
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:24,319
Speaker 1: But you know, we're out for the challenge, and uh

977
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:26,800
Speaker 1: that's that's the point of you know, planning this division

978
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 1: each and every week. You know, Cincinnati last week, Baltimore

979
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:32,280
Speaker 1: this week, and then saying with Pittsburgh, you know, guys

980
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:35,320
Speaker 1: are very very talented, they have great defenses, um, and

981
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 1: then the coordinators are very very good. So you know,

982
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 1: we have a challenge on our hand and we're gonna

983
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: go out there and try to succeed. This deedition has

984
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 1: a reputation for being very physical. A lot of guys

985
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 1: that you know come to Cleveland. It's bird Balomus is

986
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:50,920
Speaker 1: that they mentioned that as a as a player who's

987
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,839
Speaker 1: not afraid to be physical yourself and to run the ball,

988
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 1: and that how do you balance being physical and aggressive

989
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 1: with protecting yourself containing avoiding. I mean, that's the name

990
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 1: of the game, you know. It's just availability. You know,

991
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 1: if I'm not available and I can't have the team,

992
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 1: um and so, and that goes for everybody. So at

993
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 1: the same time, you know, you gotta be physical, you

994
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 1: gotta be smart. But from my position being the quarterback,

995
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,400
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna goal and try to run over the safety.

996
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:20,760
Speaker 1: That's not That's not me. You know, I just slide

997
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 1: to get on to the next player. I leave that

998
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:24,800
Speaker 1: to the linebackers and the receivers if they want to

999
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 1: do all that. But for me, I'm just you know,

1000
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 1: trying to make sure I'm getting up for the next place,

1001
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:31,759
Speaker 1: so I can, you know, stay on the field as

1002
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 1: much as possible to try to help the team. Wind

1003
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:35,759
Speaker 1: Like two games in, now, how do you feel like

1004
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 1: you are with your conditioning being in futball shape. Is

1005
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 1: that's something that you can really only up as you

1006
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 1: get more games in. Yeah, that's something that you know,

1007
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 1: just each and every week, just continue to try to

1008
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 1: improve on that one. Uh. It was definitely a lot

1009
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 1: better last week than it was to the previous week. Uh.

1010
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 1: So I'm going to continue to just improve my conditioning

1011
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:53,920
Speaker 1: and my stamina and so I can be able to

1012
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 1: go out, you know, do loan drives and communicate the

1013
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 1: operation of the offense. How do you think you've had

1014
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 1: an opportunity for those every works just the timing down

1015
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 1: or has it been just more of a you know,

1016
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:05,800
Speaker 1: easing it of the thing and that really happen the

1017
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:08,520
Speaker 1: opportunity for the huge play. I mean, you gotta look

1018
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 1: at the schemes of the defense, you know Houston and

1019
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: allow us to have any big shots. Cincinnati did the

1020
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:16,279
Speaker 1: same thing, um, you know with with the two I

1021
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:18,879
Speaker 1: think the two shots we wanted. Uh they got back

1022
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,839
Speaker 1: and did uh you know we call it they cut

1023
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:25,320
Speaker 1: the crossers and slingshot the corners. Um. So you know,

1024
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 1: teams are doing a good job of trying to take

1025
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 1: that away because they know exactly, you know, from previous

1026
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 1: from when I was in Houston, that was something that

1027
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:34,719
Speaker 1: was very very successful with So um, you know, just

1028
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 1: those opportunities gotta come up. We gotta see it. We

1029
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 1: gotta hit it, and um we just gotta you know,

1030
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 1: not hope for it, but whenever those opportunities pop up,

1031
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 1: we just gotta make sure we take it. That's one

1032
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 1: of them for sure. Yes, sir, did you hear Marlin?

1033
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 1: I appreciate they wanted to give you a natural soft

1034
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 1: welcoming onto the AFC North and the ribalry. I just heard.

1035
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:56,359
Speaker 1: But when I walked into the locker room. But uh now,

1036
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 1: as of course, you know that's the that's the key

1037
00:52:58,480 --> 00:52:59,719
Speaker 1: of the game. You know, they got to do that

1038
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 1: job to try to rattle me and rattle everyone else around,

1039
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:04,759
Speaker 1: and you know that's that's the fun of the game.

1040
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:06,840
Speaker 1: So you know, I love to compete. I love to

1041
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:08,440
Speaker 1: go out there. So you know they're going to try

1042
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 1: to rattle me, and I'm going to do the same thing.

1043
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:11,919
Speaker 1: When you played with the Ravens a couple of times

1044
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:14,719
Speaker 1: when you were there, didn't feel like kind of a

1045
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 1: different brand of football because it's they're you know, they're

1046
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 1: known for their physicality and say, um no, not not

1047
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 1: at all. You know, they did what they had to

1048
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 1: do against us in Houston. You know, I think the

1049
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: twenty or twenty nineteen when we went to Baltimore, they

1050
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 1: put numbers on us, and then they came to Houston.

1051
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 1: I think it was week two that beat us by

1052
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 1: fourteen or something like that. I can't remember the score,

1053
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 1: but you know, they did whatever they needed to do

1054
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: to get that victory and and pit points on the board.

1055
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:43,280
Speaker 1: And we didn't do our job when I was in Houston.

1056
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 1: But you know, this is a new opportunity. Knew, you know,

1057
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 1: challenge and you know, a whole different new team. So

1058
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 1: you know, I'm going I'm looking forward to the challenge.

1059
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:53,239
Speaker 1: Could just be a successful season if you guys don't

1060
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:56,480
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. Um, you know, just trying to improve

1061
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:58,799
Speaker 1: this and every day and that's that's my man set.

1062
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 1: You know, I can't control um, you know how the

1063
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 1: rankings and status like down that can control. They try

1064
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 1: to win it on Sunday. So if we can win uh,

1065
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 1: well Saturday the next two weeks and and finish out

1066
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:11,960
Speaker 1: the season strong, then who knows what can happen And

1067
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:14,319
Speaker 1: if we make it or not, you know, that's that's

1068
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:17,239
Speaker 1: something that you know, we just gotta let have things

1069
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 1: play out. And in terms of like the growth over

1070
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:21,319
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks with Kevin as a play call.

1071
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 1: Are you guys feeling more comfortable? Yeah, we just each

1072
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:25,880
Speaker 1: and every day as an opportunity for us to get

1073
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 1: more comfortable, to see different things, for different schemes that

1074
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 1: we're going against, what he's thinking, what I'm thinking. So um,

1075
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 1: you know it's only been two weeks, two and a

1076
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:37,239
Speaker 1: half weeks of me and Kevin really working together. So

1077
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 1: you know the saying it's the sky's the limited. We

1078
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:41,879
Speaker 1: just gotta keep you know, try to work and put

1079
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 1: you know, improved. Just when you talk about climbing, is

1080
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:47,400
Speaker 1: it easier more difficult to get the time done on

1081
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 1: deep shots compared to kind of the short y intermediate stuff. Um,

1082
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 1: I mean just everything is about timing at the end

1083
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 1: of the day. But you know, at the end of

1084
00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 1: the day, you know, for me as a quarterback, I

1085
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:02,359
Speaker 1: gotta anticipate because you know, there's injuries that happened, things

1086
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 1: that happened, so you know you might be a you

1087
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:06,839
Speaker 1: know out there with a guy you know that having

1088
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:09,400
Speaker 1: practiced with you all week. So yeah, I say timing

1089
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:12,320
Speaker 1: is definitely key. But you know that's something that in

1090
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 1: my mind, I don't really try to you know, process

1091
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:17,400
Speaker 1: because everyone needs to be in the same spot we

1092
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 1: need to be uh you know when that play is

1093
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: being caught. So um, you know, things happen. But I'm

1094
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:25,759
Speaker 1: I don't want to make any type of excuse of Hey,

1095
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:27,800
Speaker 1: this is all about timing and things like that. You know.

1096
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 1: At the day, we got to make the place and

1097
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:33,400
Speaker 1: I gotta make the throws experience. So far with plans

1098
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:35,400
Speaker 1: in Cleveland, and you know, I know there are in

1099
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:37,680
Speaker 1: some issues on the growd. Any chance and send some

1100
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 1: things like that, we're basing your experience here. What kind

1101
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 1: of reception do you anticipate getting First Energy Stadium in

1102
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:50,359
Speaker 1: terms of positive maybe some not positive. I'm not even sure.

1103
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 1: You know, my my main objective for this weekend is

1104
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:57,280
Speaker 1: going out there and just showing you know, this crowd

1105
00:55:57,360 --> 00:55:59,560
Speaker 1: and showing the Cleveland friends in this city that we're

1106
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:01,759
Speaker 1: going out there to compete in the season is not

1107
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:04,280
Speaker 1: over for us. So I can't control what the reaction

1108
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 1: is going to be. I'm not sure what it's going

1109
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:08,240
Speaker 1: to be. But you know, like I said, I'm aside

1110
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 1: to go out there and play football and be you know,

1111
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 1: and get back in the old school uniforms and uh,

1112
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 1: you know, the white face masks and things like that

1113
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:17,440
Speaker 1: and have a little bit fun and just try to

1114
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 1: you know, make the Saturday you know something special for

1115
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:23,399
Speaker 1: Cleveland Show. One of the challenges for an offensive line

1116
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 1: with a mobile quarterback like yourself is having to hold

1117
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:28,760
Speaker 1: those blocks more actual longer as you extend the plays

1118
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 1: and makes susceptible for holding counter leads or lineman leaking

1119
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 1: down the field. Um, from your standpoint, what do you

1120
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:41,279
Speaker 1: what do you do to work with the line? Maybe two?

1121
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 1: I guess help them learn you as a as a

1122
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:48,800
Speaker 1: player when you're extending those plays. Um, it's not so

1123
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 1: much of me telling them anything because I kind of

1124
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:54,719
Speaker 1: just you know, play the game and I react. And

1125
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:56,759
Speaker 1: you know, if I sit there and try to tell them, hey,

1126
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:58,440
Speaker 1: this is what they're gonna do, and then they might

1127
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:00,359
Speaker 1: be thinking of something totally different. And if I don't

1128
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 1: do that, then it's it's not you know, we're not

1129
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 1: on the same page. So I think it's a field thing.

1130
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 1: You know, it's a it's a feel like, hey, you know,

1131
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:10,799
Speaker 1: in this situation and this protection, you know, d why

1132
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:12,879
Speaker 1: it's gonna be sitting in the pocket on this side

1133
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 1: of the you know, hash or rice versus. So I

1134
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:17,520
Speaker 1: think it's just kind of you know, feel and just

1135
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 1: you know, having me react to certain situations and going

1136
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 1: through you know, live reps and once you know, you

1137
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 1: feel that out and then the whole line kind of

1138
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:27,640
Speaker 1: figure out, you know, what they gotta do to make

1139
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:29,440
Speaker 1: sure that you know, we don't get those whole epis.

1140
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 1: Go back to the topic of Cleveland. Wasather real quick

1141
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 1: Um in March after the trade that has them said

1142
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 1: that they thought that that was something they really had

1143
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:40,640
Speaker 1: to overcome for you to, you know, ultimately choose the Browns,

1144
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 1: especially because the conditions you faced a couple of years

1145
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 1: ago when Houston came here. How much of that and

1146
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:49,080
Speaker 1: you're thinking about when you're going through all your options.

1147
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 1: Um My, my main focus was what's the best situation

1148
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 1: for me, um, and what's the best situation for the

1149
00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:59,040
Speaker 1: organization to win a Super Bowl? And I felt like

1150
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:01,919
Speaker 1: Cleveland was the best situation. Um. You know, that's something

1151
00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:03,960
Speaker 1: that he asked me for sure, but I told him

1152
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:05,320
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's football. You know,

1153
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 1: he can get any weather in any situation other than

1154
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 1: you know, playing in the Dome. But you know, for me,

1155
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 1: my main focus was just what is the locker room

1156
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:14,600
Speaker 1: like what is the organization, like, how can we go

1157
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:17,439
Speaker 1: win the super Bowl? And that's was my fain focus

1158
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 1: and that's why I chose Cleveland. Who did you say,

1159
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 1: asked you know, the has NM, They asked me about

1160
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:24,360
Speaker 1: the weather. Yea, for sure, But that's what I told him, like,

1161
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 1: you know, the weather is not that's not a party

1162
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 1: of right now. You know, my my party is, like

1163
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:31,960
Speaker 1: I said, teammates, locker room, coaching staff, and what's the

1164
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 1: best opportunity for me to go win a super Bowl? Now,

1165
00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 1: now you're here in the sem are gonna play for

1166
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:37,920
Speaker 1: the first time? You think it's a legit a legitimate

1167
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:41,400
Speaker 1: challenge playing quarterback? Or is it just kind of um

1168
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:45,280
Speaker 1: for you? I say, I mean, of course it's a challenge.

1169
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 1: I'd be crazy if I, you know, set up here

1170
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:49,120
Speaker 1: and said it's not a challenge. But you know, not

1171
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:51,440
Speaker 1: just for me, but it's for the opponent also, you know,

1172
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:53,480
Speaker 1: the you know, Baltimore gotta come in and deal it

1173
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:56,200
Speaker 1: with the same weather as we do. So you know,

1174
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:58,080
Speaker 1: we just gotta go out there and just you know,

1175
00:58:58,280 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 1: put the weather to the side and just try to

1176
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:01,440
Speaker 1: make as many plays as we can. What do you

1177
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 1: remember about that game? In it was like windy and rainy.

1178
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:06,320
Speaker 1: I think there was a Yeah, that was crazy. That

1179
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 1: was that was something I wasn't nowhere close to a

1180
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:13,400
Speaker 1: spet thing and wasn't used to. So yeah, it was

1181
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:16,440
Speaker 1: like five different weather changes in an hour, So it

1182
00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 1: was pretty nuts. All right, there you go. There's Deshaun

1194
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 1: we meet the Ravens, you get the answer to the

1195
01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 1: question that we asked off camera. So we're going through

1196
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:30,320
Speaker 1: one of the factoids that have come out about the

1197
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:32,520
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens, which is a very good team, and we

1198
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 1: will get into the reasons why they are so good.

1199
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:39,760
Speaker 1: But the two thousand and fourteen Kansas City Chiefs apparently

1200
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:44,320
Speaker 1: had a season in which their wide receivers did not

1201
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:47,240
Speaker 1: catch a single touchdown. So we were like, who is

1202
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:48,640
Speaker 1: doing this? And the reason this came up is that

1203
01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 1: the Ravens receivers have gone tense right games without a

1204
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:53,880
Speaker 1: receiving touchdown, the longest such drout by a team's wide

1205
01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:56,680
Speaker 1: receiver unit since an eighteen game drop by Kansas City

1206
01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 1: in fourteen fifteen. Two thousand fourteen Chiefs had no receiving

1207
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:03,000
Speaker 1: touched by receivers and in sixteen game season. So it

1208
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:07,040
Speaker 1: is Alex Smith. Yeah, Alex Smith is a quarterback. Andy

1209
01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:10,960
Speaker 1: Reid's there already. He they go nine and seven that year.

1210
01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 1: Alex Smith throws for three thousand, two hundred and sixty

1211
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:20,120
Speaker 1: five yards, eighteen touchdowns and six picks. Was Dwayne bow there?

1212
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 1: So Jamal Charles had five touchdowns receiving, Travis Kelsey had five.

1213
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:30,400
Speaker 1: Bow was there and fifty four yards but no touch

1214
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:34,400
Speaker 1: Anthony Fazzano had four tight end tight end Joe McKnight

1215
01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:38,040
Speaker 1: running back head to Nile Davis, remember him, he had one.

1216
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:41,680
Speaker 1: Now Davis had six rushing touchdowns that year, and then

1217
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:44,880
Speaker 1: Anthony Sherman, the fullback, had one. The receiver's bow had

1218
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:48,360
Speaker 1: seven and fifty four yards sixty catches seven four yards,

1219
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:50,200
Speaker 1: which led the team. Was second on the team behind

1220
01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:56,800
Speaker 1: Kelsey no touchdowns. Albert Wilson, Donnie Avery, Jason Avant, Junior Hemingway,

1221
01:01:57,240 --> 01:02:01,920
Speaker 1: Frankie Hammond were the wide receivers. No, not a single

1222
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 1: touch Dad is that's hard to believe. And this team

1223
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 1: came in second in the a f C West nine

1224
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:14,680
Speaker 1: and seven. Yeah, it's pretty you know. It got me.

1225
01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that Kelsey was twenty because I was

1226
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:20,960
Speaker 1: Kelsey's rookie, years older than you think. He was a

1227
01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:24,000
Speaker 1: rookie in in He was a rookie in thirteen but

1228
01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:25,480
Speaker 1: didn't play. Must have got hurt. But he was a

1229
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:28,360
Speaker 1: twenty four year old rookie in two thousand thirteen, so

1230
01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:31,880
Speaker 1: his first year as really playing was was fourteen, and

1231
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:35,880
Speaker 1: he's twenty five. He's thirty three right now. Um had

1232
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:39,440
Speaker 1: two thousand yard receivings receiving seasons pre Mahomes and then

1233
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:42,480
Speaker 1: post Mahomes it's been a steady diet of that. His

1234
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 1: targets with Mahomes are pretty ridiculous. He's already over a

1235
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:47,479
Speaker 1: thousand this year and he leads the NFL with twelve

1236
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns this year. Thirty three years old. Yeah, pretty remarkable. Yeah,

1237
01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 1: that's wild um. Alright, time to meet the revisit the

1238
01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 1: two thousand twenty. We already know him. They're nine and

1239
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 1: four in the season, first place in the See North.

1240
01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:02,720
Speaker 1: The have the tiebreaker over the Bengals. They beat the

1241
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 1: Steelers on Sunday. J K. Dobbins is back a hundred

1242
01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:09,120
Speaker 1: twenty yards and a touchdown. Who's gonna quarterback them? Sometimes

1243
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:10,920
Speaker 1: it matters. It's not gonna be Lamar. We know that

1244
01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 1: Huntley has proven if it's not him, it's gonna be

1245
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:16,040
Speaker 1: the kid Anthony Brown from Oregon. UM. In terms of

1246
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 1: what they do though, it's what they always do. Yeah,

1247
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:22,000
Speaker 1: they're very good defensively. They're the number twelve total defense,

1248
01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:24,480
Speaker 1: number eight scoring, number two against the rush. They have

1249
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:26,880
Speaker 1: not allowed a single one hundred yard rusher this season.

1250
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:30,840
Speaker 1: Number two on third downs, fifth and sacks, second in turnovers,

1251
01:03:31,280 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 1: third and limiting big plays, and their second overall and

1252
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:36,200
Speaker 1: turnover differential. So they beat you up, they take the

1253
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:40,120
Speaker 1: football away from you. And since they've acquired ro Kuan Smith,

1254
01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:43,960
Speaker 1: the excellent linebacker, he joined the Ravens. Uh. Since he

1255
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:47,480
Speaker 1: has been with the Ravens, the Ravens are second in

1256
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:50,720
Speaker 1: rush are there? Sorry? Since Rocan Smith this com Week

1257
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 1: nine was his first game. They are first in the

1258
01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:56,160
Speaker 1: NFL against the run fifty five yards a game, second

1259
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:58,400
Speaker 1: in the NFL and scoring defense thirteen point four and

1260
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:01,040
Speaker 1: they've allowed the second fewest touchdown a total of six.

1261
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:03,840
Speaker 1: Only the Niners are allowing fewer points per game. And

1262
01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:05,480
Speaker 1: we know how good the Niners have been there allowing

1263
01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 1: ten points for game. Roquan Smith has been sensational for them.

1264
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:12,880
Speaker 1: It's a good defense. And then offensively number two running

1265
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:16,480
Speaker 1: number four, big plays. They're not elite anywhere. Their number

1266
01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 1: four team total number twelve, scoring twenty seven, passing tent

1267
01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:22,000
Speaker 1: on third downs. Uh. They don't turn the ball over

1268
01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:24,560
Speaker 1: though there's six in terms of turnovers. And so they're

1269
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 1: just a team that knows how to win. And they're

1270
01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:30,280
Speaker 1: playing right now elite suffocating defense and that's how they're

1271
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:32,720
Speaker 1: able to do it. But you mentioned, you know, if

1272
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 1: Huntley Huntley's okay like Huntley this year, completions two and

1273
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:41,400
Speaker 1: seventy five yards, passing one interception, eighty three rating. He's

1274
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:43,200
Speaker 1: run for seven two yards and a touchdown. He had

1275
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:47,120
Speaker 1: the game winning drive against Denver. Started last week gets

1276
01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:49,480
Speaker 1: knocked out, was eight of twelve eighty eight yards and

1277
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:51,920
Speaker 1: rushed for thirty one yards. He left with a concussion.

1278
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 1: Brown came in three or five or sixteen yards, three

1279
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:58,960
Speaker 1: rushes negative five yards, and so it felt like once

1280
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:02,360
Speaker 1: Brown came in, they were not interested at all in

1281
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 1: throwing the football, not even the littlest teeny bit um

1282
01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:09,960
Speaker 1: and not surprising. So they ran it. As you mentioned,

1283
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:12,200
Speaker 1: fifteen carries for Dobbins for a hundred and twenty yards,

1284
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:15,640
Speaker 1: thirteen carries for Gus Edwards for another sixties six yards.

1285
01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:18,320
Speaker 1: They even Kenyan Drake even got to carry. The quarterbacks

1286
01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:21,160
Speaker 1: obviously got some carries as well. But if they have

1287
01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:23,040
Speaker 1: to go with Brown, that's gonna be I think that's

1288
01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:25,880
Speaker 1: gonna be a challenge for them. Yeah, I would think

1289
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:27,600
Speaker 1: that it would be the You know, the crazy thing

1290
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:29,360
Speaker 1: about them is this is two years in a row

1291
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:32,720
Speaker 1: where they have been riddled with injury and last year

1292
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:35,520
Speaker 1: knocked on the door of the whole way this year,

1293
01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:38,280
Speaker 1: nine and four. I mean, they just they can't stay healthy.

1294
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:42,320
Speaker 1: Bateman Dobbins, Lamar. It's one after another and it's huge

1295
01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:45,880
Speaker 1: players Like it's consistently losing the most important players on

1296
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:49,080
Speaker 1: their team edwards this year and it doesn't matter nine

1297
01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:51,120
Speaker 1: and four. Yeah, they know they know how to win.

1298
01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:54,360
Speaker 1: One thing to remember is Lamar got hurt against us

1299
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:58,320
Speaker 1: last year very early in the game in Cleveland. Huntley

1300
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:02,959
Speaker 1: came in thirty seventy and a touchdown six rushes forty

1301
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:06,120
Speaker 1: five yards. The Browns did win two, but Huntley is

1302
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:10,840
Speaker 1: not Lamar. But hun is still capable of winning for them.

1303
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:13,200
Speaker 1: He's two and three all time as a starter. Marlon

1304
01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:16,040
Speaker 1: Humphrey was asked on what kind of what kind of

1305
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:19,080
Speaker 1: a f C North welcome he's going to give Deshaun Watson.

1306
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:21,880
Speaker 1: Let's hear from Marlon Humphrey. Yeah, we want to give

1307
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:26,360
Speaker 1: him a not so soft welcoming, you know what I mean. So, uh,

1308
01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:29,479
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's cool to welcome to the Robbery album.

1309
01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:32,440
Speaker 1: Hopefully it won't be a good Robberry welcoming for him,

1310
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:35,200
Speaker 1: but um, you know, it's always I think it's interesting

1311
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:37,000
Speaker 1: to see you know when guys come in this Robbert,

1312
01:06:37,080 --> 01:06:39,400
Speaker 1: I mean this A C. North. You know, it's really

1313
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:40,960
Speaker 1: it's not sweet over here, you know what I mean.

1314
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:44,600
Speaker 1: So it's, uh, it's interesting to see you know how

1315
01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:46,600
Speaker 1: it will be. You know, I love I love how

1316
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:48,560
Speaker 1: basically all the teams an hour just good in the

1317
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:50,640
Speaker 1: A f C. You know, it just makes the game

1318
01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:53,280
Speaker 1: so much funner. You know, it makes the robbery so

1319
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:56,080
Speaker 1: much better. And so I'm really excited too. I know

1320
01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:58,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna be there for a while, so I'll be

1321
01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:01,919
Speaker 1: matching up against him for a while. Patrick Queen, another

1322
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 1: one of the Baltimore stalwarts on the defensive side, was

1323
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 1: also asked about Watson. Here's what he had to say. Still,

1324
01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:09,240
Speaker 1: the saying got a used to be still still a

1325
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:11,919
Speaker 1: great quarterback, Still can move, Still can make the throws

1326
01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:14,520
Speaker 1: on a move, because still do everything that any other

1327
01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:16,800
Speaker 1: quarterback could do. So the biggest thing with him is

1328
01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:18,240
Speaker 1: just trying to keep him in the pocket and limit

1329
01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:22,920
Speaker 1: limited things that you do. Will best defense we face remaining. Yeah, Well,

1330
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:25,040
Speaker 1: since the Roquan Smith trade, here's where they rank in

1331
01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 1: points per game. Second, I mentioned that yards per game,

1332
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:30,320
Speaker 1: third rush yards per game, first, yards per carry two

1333
01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:35,840
Speaker 1: point eight first opponent third down percentage percent first. They

1334
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:38,800
Speaker 1: have been dominant. Yeah, this is probably the best defense

1335
01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:40,920
Speaker 1: that we played. Their big and strong upfront. They've got

1336
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:44,720
Speaker 1: wily veterans. Now Justin Houston has nine sacks, leads a team,

1337
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:46,240
Speaker 1: but he had eight and a half sacks in his

1338
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:48,440
Speaker 1: first six games, only a half of sack the last four.

1339
01:07:48,520 --> 01:07:50,800
Speaker 1: Now he got to us I think maybe twice in

1340
01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:52,880
Speaker 1: that game. Campbell got to us and forced the fumble

1341
01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 1: in that one. So but yeah, this is a good defense.

1342
01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:59,240
Speaker 1: Two good corners in Peters and Humphrey, and then they've

1343
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:01,960
Speaker 1: got i think one of the best pure free safeties

1344
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:05,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL. And Marcus Williams. Marcus Williams only played

1345
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:07,920
Speaker 1: six games. He leads the team with four interceptions, he's

1346
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:11,080
Speaker 1: got six passes. Defense, he's get allowing a thirty six

1347
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:14,000
Speaker 1: rating and coverage. This is a guy who's got nineteen

1348
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:16,960
Speaker 1: career picks. Big free agent signing. So their sound on

1349
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:19,000
Speaker 1: the back end, Kyle Hamilton's starting to play more their

1350
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:20,519
Speaker 1: first round or out of Notre Dame in a big

1351
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:23,439
Speaker 1: nickel look. Uh, and they are very confident in what

1352
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:25,760
Speaker 1: they're doing defensive They're winning because of their defense. Their

1353
01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:28,680
Speaker 1: offense has not been great, even with Lamar has not

1354
01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:31,640
Speaker 1: been great. It's been their defense that has been very good.

1355
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:33,479
Speaker 1: The only person's got him as Trevor Lawrence, who's as

1356
01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:34,960
Speaker 1: hot as anybody in the league right now. He's got

1357
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:37,240
Speaker 1: ten picks, ton touchdowns, no picks in his last four games.

1358
01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:40,439
Speaker 1: He's been incredible. Yeah, look, I mean they haven't been

1359
01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 1: They let Hollywood Brown go. They don't really have anything

1360
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:47,400
Speaker 1: on the outside you're worried about. Bateman has been hurt again.

1361
01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:50,240
Speaker 1: Another year of him a receiver score in ten games.

1362
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:54,280
Speaker 1: They it's really a one trick thing that they are.

1363
01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:57,800
Speaker 1: And yet somehow the week's churn and they win, and

1364
01:08:57,840 --> 01:09:01,040
Speaker 1: they win and they win. It's pretty remarkable. They are

1365
01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:04,479
Speaker 1: clutch when it comes to winning. The same thing everybody

1366
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:07,519
Speaker 1: for so long, same defense, same offense, same coach, same

1367
01:09:07,520 --> 01:09:11,040
Speaker 1: special I mean, it's the same. They're just operation. They're

1368
01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:13,479
Speaker 1: very clutch, and obviously things are going well. The only

1369
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:15,679
Speaker 1: change was really on the defensive side. But they're running

1370
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:18,479
Speaker 1: a very similar defense. They brought in the young man

1371
01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:21,880
Speaker 1: from what McDonald from Michigan? Is that where he was from?

1372
01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:24,920
Speaker 1: Do we have that right? Yeah? Mike McDonald, um but yeah,

1373
01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:27,240
Speaker 1: you're right, it is the same. It's the same formula

1374
01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:30,200
Speaker 1: we run it. We played good defense Mark Andrews, and

1375
01:09:30,320 --> 01:09:32,679
Speaker 1: then if it's close and it comes down to a kick,

1376
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:35,680
Speaker 1: we have justin Tucker. It's gonna say, is they have

1377
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:38,639
Speaker 1: such confidence in close games because they have that dude

1378
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:40,960
Speaker 1: at the end, and it's if they can get to

1379
01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:43,360
Speaker 1: just a field goal attempt, they feel like they win

1380
01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:46,800
Speaker 1: and nin psen at the time they do that streak

1381
01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:49,519
Speaker 1: finally didn't happen. He missed a sixty seven yard or

1382
01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:53,160
Speaker 1: but other than that, that was a lock five year streak.

1383
01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:56,679
Speaker 1: Five years he did line up in the second half

1384
01:09:56,920 --> 01:10:01,840
Speaker 1: or overtime. They're special. Teams are always so sound. Our

1385
01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:04,599
Speaker 1: Boas came up through that and so they're always so sound,

1386
01:10:04,720 --> 01:10:06,640
Speaker 1: and they've had him for a long time and it

1387
01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:09,439
Speaker 1: just gives them a lot of confidence. Like they don't

1388
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:12,400
Speaker 1: as an organization. They don't shoot themselves in the foot

1389
01:10:12,479 --> 01:10:16,160
Speaker 1: much perfect, perfect, Think about our game against them. Okay,

1390
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:19,200
Speaker 1: Tucker makes all his kicks. DuVernay, who is the Pro

1391
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:22,000
Speaker 1: Bowl return er, bus one return on us that gives

1392
01:10:22,040 --> 01:10:24,840
Speaker 1: them free points. There. They don't make mistakes, but they

1393
01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:27,920
Speaker 1: generate takeaways. As we talked about their second in turnover

1394
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:31,519
Speaker 1: differential in the league. They are second in takeaways in

1395
01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:33,680
Speaker 1: the league, and they had to turn over the letter

1396
01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:35,880
Speaker 1: points they scored. I think that game was twenty three

1397
01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:38,040
Speaker 1: to twenty and they scored all of their points but

1398
01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:43,360
Speaker 1: one touchdown on short fields. That's how they beat us.

1399
01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:45,679
Speaker 1: Just a couple of little things here there, and that's

1400
01:10:46,360 --> 01:10:48,320
Speaker 1: little things have been big, big things for the Browns

1401
01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:49,760
Speaker 1: and for them, the little things are big things in

1402
01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:52,320
Speaker 1: a positive way. We we've said that every all the

1403
01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:54,920
Speaker 1: little things that we that we can do, we fail

1404
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:56,880
Speaker 1: at doing. It feels like this year all the little

1405
01:10:56,920 --> 01:10:59,679
Speaker 1: things they do, they they succeed. So good, go ahead

1406
01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:03,120
Speaker 1: give it. What do we make of the injury situation

1407
01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:07,280
Speaker 1: and the reason why I say that David Bell not

1408
01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:10,080
Speaker 1: on the field, A lot of big names on the

1409
01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:12,559
Speaker 1: bike on a short week, I think I think short week,

1410
01:11:12,880 --> 01:11:14,960
Speaker 1: Yes my gut, I mean he would know. I think

1411
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:19,960
Speaker 1: short week. And Friday's the day you'll look. It's tomorrow. Tomorrow.

1412
01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:22,640
Speaker 1: Tomorrow is a Friday, so that will be the day

1413
01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:24,759
Speaker 1: you'll look. That's going to annoy me all day tomorrow.

1414
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:27,000
Speaker 1: That like it's listen, treating it like Friday and I'm

1415
01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:29,120
Speaker 1: gonna be like, oh, but we slept the next day.

1416
01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:32,000
Speaker 1: That's why I'm like Cooper on a bike, JJ three

1417
01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:35,439
Speaker 1: out of bike, Miles Clowney. Those are all the guys

1418
01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:39,120
Speaker 1: that Yes, David Bell, I mean, okay, that would Bell

1419
01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:41,280
Speaker 1: would be the one that would be but a different

1420
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:45,160
Speaker 1: But I mean we've got we're talking and you're talking

1421
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:48,479
Speaker 1: about twenty three catches six yards on the season. I mean,

1422
01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:51,720
Speaker 1: we're not talking about game changing at least not at

1423
01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:54,960
Speaker 1: this point. No, hasn't been. Um, We're we will be

1424
01:11:55,000 --> 01:12:00,240
Speaker 1: a lot healthier than them, Yes, Saturday, that's for sure. Um. Well,

1425
01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:02,320
Speaker 1: but look we were healthier than the Bengals too. They

1426
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:04,439
Speaker 1: were that a lot of guys in that one. We're

1427
01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:08,839
Speaker 1: banged up though, in if all of our injuries were healthy,

1428
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:12,519
Speaker 1: center has been a big injury for us, and then

1429
01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:15,679
Speaker 1: we're banged up completely at the second level, mind Backer,

1430
01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:20,760
Speaker 1: it's been decimated for sure. Completely. Yeah, there's any way

1444
01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:15,760
Speaker 1: teams Coordinator Mike Briefer. Okay, good afternoon. Uh you know,

1445
01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:18,840
Speaker 1: we're looking back at Sunday's game against Cincinnati's. We were

1446
01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:21,360
Speaker 1: obviously pleased by the way our punt team played way

1447
01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:23,200
Speaker 1: Corey punt of the ball, the way we covered punts,

1448
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:26,479
Speaker 1: you know, flip the field several times for our defense. Uh.

1449
01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:27,960
Speaker 1: You know, kid made both of his kicks in a

1450
01:13:28,040 --> 01:13:29,599
Speaker 1: nice job there. We did a couple of good things

1451
01:13:29,680 --> 01:13:31,200
Speaker 1: in the punt return game, but we can't have that

1452
01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:33,200
Speaker 1: that rough and the putter that we really kind of

1453
01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:36,240
Speaker 1: changed the momentum of the game. You know, Uh, we

1454
01:13:36,360 --> 01:13:38,560
Speaker 1: were playing great on defense, we were playing great on

1455
01:13:38,680 --> 01:13:41,000
Speaker 1: special teams. We were you know, moving the ball a

1456
01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:42,960
Speaker 1: little bit on offense where we kept them off balance

1457
01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:44,360
Speaker 1: and we gave them the ball back. And that was

1458
01:13:44,439 --> 01:13:47,760
Speaker 1: just a just not a very good play by us.

1459
01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:49,960
Speaker 1: And and you heard our football team. I think we

1460
01:13:50,439 --> 01:13:51,760
Speaker 1: made up for it later in the game. You know,

1461
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:54,479
Speaker 1: late in the game, we rushed, we rushed him again.

1462
01:13:54,520 --> 01:13:56,160
Speaker 1: He shanked a punt off the side of his foot

1463
01:13:56,200 --> 01:13:57,600
Speaker 1: and we got the ball to plus forty eight with

1464
01:13:57,640 --> 01:13:59,839
Speaker 1: four and a half to go and gave our offensive

1465
01:13:59,840 --> 01:14:02,280
Speaker 1: to us with good field position. But you know, looking back,

1466
01:14:02,320 --> 01:14:04,040
Speaker 1: obviously I'm gonna look at the good, the bad, and

1467
01:14:04,080 --> 01:14:06,200
Speaker 1: the ugly, but looking back at that rough and the

1468
01:14:06,240 --> 01:14:08,320
Speaker 1: punter appenalty is something we don't have here. We don't

1469
01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:11,800
Speaker 1: have mistakes like that. And that was uncalled for play. Michael.

1470
01:14:11,800 --> 01:14:14,880
Speaker 1: When you talked to Tony after, yeah, I mean we

1471
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:17,560
Speaker 1: knew somebody was gonna get home and and uh, you know,

1472
01:14:17,600 --> 01:14:19,400
Speaker 1: we've been rushing the punt pretty well all year and

1473
01:14:19,439 --> 01:14:23,040
Speaker 1: we've been close unfortunately, uh four or five times this year,

1474
01:14:23,080 --> 01:14:24,720
Speaker 1: and he felt like as he got through there, there

1475
01:14:24,760 --> 01:14:26,120
Speaker 1: was no one there to block him. And he felt

1476
01:14:26,160 --> 01:14:27,439
Speaker 1: like he had a chance to block it, and he

1477
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:29,920
Speaker 1: wasn't close enough in order to do what he did.

1478
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:31,799
Speaker 1: You know, if he was really close, I can understand,

1479
01:14:31,840 --> 01:14:34,640
Speaker 1: but he was still probably yard or two away or

1480
01:14:34,720 --> 01:14:37,719
Speaker 1: yard and a half away from really affecting the punt

1481
01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:40,680
Speaker 1: enough to try to block it. And uh, you know,

1482
01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:42,639
Speaker 1: he went for it and it was a mistake. Looked

1483
01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:44,360
Speaker 1: like kid wanted that shot. At the end of the time,

1484
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:49,559
Speaker 1: what was that conversation, Well, I'm looking at the yard

1485
01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:52,320
Speaker 1: line and I told coach what I thought was a

1486
01:14:52,360 --> 01:14:54,960
Speaker 1: good yard line to get to and we weren't quite

1487
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:57,240
Speaker 1: there yet. And you know, Caid's over their campaign, in

1488
01:14:57,280 --> 01:15:00,240
Speaker 1: which I love. I love the competitiveness of the young guy. Um,

1489
01:15:00,520 --> 01:15:02,400
Speaker 1: I kind of chuckled. I looked at Somebody said I

1490
01:15:02,479 --> 01:15:04,680
Speaker 1: was laughing, but I was smiling because a I was.

1491
01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:07,040
Speaker 1: I was pleased that he wanted to kick that. But

1492
01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:08,960
Speaker 1: he doesn't look at the big picture of you know,

1493
01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:10,639
Speaker 1: we have to cover with a lot of big people

1494
01:15:10,640 --> 01:15:12,920
Speaker 1: against the return man. You know, they're gonna put a

1495
01:15:12,960 --> 01:15:15,240
Speaker 1: guy deep like we would underneath the goal post, and

1496
01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:17,400
Speaker 1: if he's short, they're gonna bring it back. That's a

1497
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:19,479
Speaker 1: hard thing to cover for you know, we have two

1498
01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:21,960
Speaker 1: d linemen on our field goal unit. We have six

1499
01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:24,120
Speaker 1: offensive linement on our field goal unit. We have a snapper,

1500
01:15:24,120 --> 01:15:25,760
Speaker 1: a holder, and a kicker. So it's gonna be tough

1501
01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:27,760
Speaker 1: to cover with those guys against a good returner. So

1502
01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:30,280
Speaker 1: that's why I'm glad we didn't kick that in that

1503
01:15:30,439 --> 01:15:34,320
Speaker 1: situation at game winner obviously, you know you have to uh,

1504
01:15:34,439 --> 01:15:35,960
Speaker 1: and I think we're close on the hail Mary, So

1505
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:37,639
Speaker 1: I think the percentage to say go with the hail

1506
01:15:37,720 --> 01:15:40,240
Speaker 1: Mary there and um, you know, maybe it's the five

1507
01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:42,479
Speaker 1: yards closer? May we go for it? Is he lobbing

1508
01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:45,200
Speaker 1: that hard before? Or is that the most animated he's

1509
01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:48,200
Speaker 1: been about something like that the end of the Atlanta game,

1510
01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:50,400
Speaker 1: when we were starting to get in field range, he

1511
01:15:50,479 --> 01:15:53,240
Speaker 1: was lobbying for a certain yard line and I think,

1512
01:15:53,920 --> 01:15:55,360
Speaker 1: you know, we never got to that yard line. So

1513
01:15:55,880 --> 01:15:57,800
Speaker 1: but in terms of that, yeah, that's I mean, but

1514
01:15:57,880 --> 01:15:59,640
Speaker 1: it was great, and I mean I expect that from him.

1515
01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:03,280
Speaker 1: That's why I laughed and said, Okay, well, I understand

1516
01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:06,000
Speaker 1: that's what you want. Um. I think as you know,

1517
01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:08,599
Speaker 1: we get more confident with him, he gets more confident

1518
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:11,519
Speaker 1: and continues to to mature as a young kicker, maybe

1519
01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:13,320
Speaker 1: you do, uh, you know, kick those, but you've got

1520
01:16:13,439 --> 01:16:14,840
Speaker 1: to look back. He's had a couple of blocks that

1521
01:16:14,920 --> 01:16:17,479
Speaker 1: were low. Um, those are the things that go through

1522
01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:19,320
Speaker 1: my mind all the time. And the weather was actually

1523
01:16:19,360 --> 01:16:21,960
Speaker 1: pretty nice and wind wind was blown slightly in that direction,

1524
01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:23,680
Speaker 1: so that would have been the direction to kick that in.

1525
01:16:23,840 --> 01:16:25,439
Speaker 1: So but I was happy that he did that. And

1526
01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:27,880
Speaker 1: you know, he is competitive and he's very confident, and

1527
01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:30,320
Speaker 1: I love that about him. Mike as a coach, I mean,

1528
01:16:30,360 --> 01:16:32,760
Speaker 1: would you rather have a guy who's that animated on

1529
01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:35,720
Speaker 1: the sideline and wants to go for the Oh I've

1530
01:16:35,960 --> 01:16:38,280
Speaker 1: I've I've coached kickers in the past and they're like,

1531
01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:39,599
Speaker 1: what do you think? And they're like and they kind

1532
01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:41,640
Speaker 1: of back into the shadows. It's like, you know, I

1533
01:16:41,720 --> 01:16:44,680
Speaker 1: need a volunteer, they go, you know, So I'd rather

1534
01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:47,200
Speaker 1: have it that way, absolutely. Can you mentioned the blocks

1535
01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:49,080
Speaker 1: for the last time you you know, you face Baltimore.

1536
01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:51,639
Speaker 1: They managed to get a block on you. Guys. They've

1537
01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:55,439
Speaker 1: been very good at blocking kicks over the years. What

1538
01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:57,439
Speaker 1: makes them so good? Why are they so good at

1539
01:16:57,479 --> 01:17:00,280
Speaker 1: that that aspect? I think Calais Campbell's six foot nine.

1540
01:17:00,920 --> 01:17:02,680
Speaker 1: I think we're six Eighty's a lot a lot to

1541
01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:04,400
Speaker 1: do with it. And he's really good. And he's still

1542
01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:07,519
Speaker 1: as old as he is as a veteran. I'm not

1543
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:09,599
Speaker 1: saying he's old, but as a veteran in this league.

1544
01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:12,000
Speaker 1: He does such a great job with his swing technique.

1545
01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:13,880
Speaker 1: It does a great job of getting in the air

1546
01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:15,840
Speaker 1: b gap sometimes to see gap when he swims, gets

1547
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:18,120
Speaker 1: his hands up in the kickplane. Um. You know, he's

1548
01:17:18,200 --> 01:17:20,439
Speaker 1: very talented that way. They've always been really good off

1549
01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:22,880
Speaker 1: the edge. Marlon Humphrey has done a great job off

1550
01:17:22,920 --> 01:17:25,080
Speaker 1: the edge over the years. Um Seemore twenty five is

1551
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:28,360
Speaker 1: done a good job as of late. Um Harrison Lee

1552
01:17:28,479 --> 01:17:30,200
Speaker 1: Carrison the one who blocked against us that maybe that

1553
01:17:30,280 --> 01:17:32,280
Speaker 1: was a sixty sum yard or that he just jumped

1554
01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:33,800
Speaker 1: straight up at the line stagram and you can't you

1555
01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:36,800
Speaker 1: can't protect against that. Um, you know, hit him right

1556
01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:39,280
Speaker 1: in the face. So you know, they they've got good players.

1557
01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:41,080
Speaker 1: They've done a nice shot with their schemes and and

1558
01:17:41,439 --> 01:17:42,880
Speaker 1: we've got to do a great job getting the ball

1559
01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:44,360
Speaker 1: up in the air and and have a good timing

1560
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:46,720
Speaker 1: elevation accuracy. That's what it's all about for for a

1561
01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:49,640
Speaker 1: field goal unit. Um, and that's where we're up to

1562
01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:53,479
Speaker 1: that challenge extra work this week. No, I think it's

1563
01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:57,559
Speaker 1: just I'm sorry, I'm that particular issue. No. I think

1564
01:17:58,400 --> 01:18:00,479
Speaker 1: the thing with Kate is we've mentioned the last few

1565
01:18:00,479 --> 01:18:02,559
Speaker 1: weeks is getting the ball up in the air. Great elevation.

1566
01:18:02,640 --> 01:18:04,240
Speaker 1: You know, Ever since the Buffalo game, you know we've

1567
01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:06,439
Speaker 1: had the last two weeks or three weeks, he's done

1568
01:18:06,439 --> 01:18:07,880
Speaker 1: a really nice job of getting the ball up in

1569
01:18:07,920 --> 01:18:11,280
Speaker 1: the air. And that's met the emphasis and we'll continue

1570
01:18:11,320 --> 01:18:13,599
Speaker 1: to emphasize that going forward. It doesn't matter who we're playing.

1571
01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:14,880
Speaker 1: He still got to get the ball up in the air.

1572
01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:17,360
Speaker 1: Is Campbell to Tay give you nightmares trying to watch

1573
01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:19,080
Speaker 1: the film and see what he's able to do, you know,

1574
01:18:19,280 --> 01:18:23,479
Speaker 1: I mean, he he's so talented. Um, we gotta find him.

1575
01:18:23,560 --> 01:18:25,439
Speaker 1: We gotta know where he's at. We understand the swim

1576
01:18:25,560 --> 01:18:27,920
Speaker 1: that they love to do the swim, that's kind of

1577
01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:29,479
Speaker 1: their deal. And we got to do a good job

1578
01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:31,519
Speaker 1: with staying low and square, meeting force with force, and

1579
01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:33,880
Speaker 1: all the all the coaching points that we constantly talk about.

1580
01:18:33,880 --> 01:18:36,080
Speaker 1: Our protection has been very very good all year, and

1581
01:18:36,120 --> 01:18:37,560
Speaker 1: I feel very good about the guys that we have

1582
01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:40,200
Speaker 1: out there Exit point Russian money with with Tony, is

1583
01:18:40,240 --> 01:18:43,400
Speaker 1: it always something where the game play but is it

1584
01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:45,360
Speaker 1: always rush all the time for him? Or there are

1585
01:18:45,360 --> 01:18:47,679
Speaker 1: different players where you play off guys like obviously there's

1586
01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:50,800
Speaker 1: all out. Every every week is different, Every weeks different.

1587
01:18:51,080 --> 01:18:52,840
Speaker 1: You know, some teams like Baltimore, they've been a fake

1588
01:18:52,840 --> 01:18:54,200
Speaker 1: team in the past. You gotta make sure you cover

1589
01:18:54,240 --> 01:18:55,920
Speaker 1: the eligible to make sure that if you know you

1590
01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:57,519
Speaker 1: do bring pressure. You got to make sure that the

1591
01:18:57,560 --> 01:19:00,280
Speaker 1: guys that are eligible that may go out for passed

1592
01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:02,120
Speaker 1: or they might run snap the ball snap and run

1593
01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:04,320
Speaker 1: to the first protector. We call him the fullback, you know.

1594
01:19:04,360 --> 01:19:07,040
Speaker 1: So we're always aware of those types of things depending

1595
01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:08,759
Speaker 1: on the call. So every week is a little bit different.

1596
01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:11,960
Speaker 1: Tony's assignment or anybody's assignments is a week to week

1597
01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:15,720
Speaker 1: or the game in Baltimore, I saw like Kate and

1598
01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:19,160
Speaker 1: kind of kicking next to each other. Tucker's booming him

1599
01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:21,120
Speaker 1: and it almost looked like he's trying to get Kate's

1600
01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:22,920
Speaker 1: had a little bit like would you be surprised if

1601
01:19:23,320 --> 01:19:25,200
Speaker 1: he did that? I mean they I wouldn't be surprised

1602
01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:28,240
Speaker 1: by anything. Justin Tucker does. He's a smart guy. Um.

1603
01:19:29,040 --> 01:19:30,639
Speaker 1: Every time I see him, I just kind of almost

1604
01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:33,599
Speaker 1: embow and safe, Mr. Future Hall of Famer, um, because

1605
01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:35,439
Speaker 1: I have so much respect for him. But he, uh,

1606
01:19:35,840 --> 01:19:37,640
Speaker 1: if if he was messing with him, I'm shirt Kate

1607
01:19:37,640 --> 01:19:39,479
Speaker 1: wouldn't affect kid. Kid's gonna go out there. I mean,

1608
01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:41,160
Speaker 1: Kate has the utmost respect for him as well for

1609
01:19:41,240 --> 01:19:43,720
Speaker 1: what he's accomplished in this league, and any young kicker

1610
01:19:43,760 --> 01:19:45,680
Speaker 1: would like to aspire to be to have that kind

1611
01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:48,360
Speaker 1: of success. But uh yeah, I wouldn't be surprised by

1612
01:19:48,400 --> 01:19:51,240
Speaker 1: that at all. Would be nerving watching him mail sixt

1613
01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:53,760
Speaker 1: yard or after sixty yard. And I mean because Kate's

1614
01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:56,040
Speaker 1: gonna nail six yard after six yarder in pregame two.

1615
01:19:56,160 --> 01:19:57,160
Speaker 1: He just got to go out and do in the

1616
01:19:57,240 --> 01:20:01,360
Speaker 1: game now like Justin's done. We didn't talk about that

1617
01:20:01,640 --> 01:20:06,680
Speaker 1: on on Monday or yesterday, but cade wanting the opportunity

1618
01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:09,880
Speaker 1: at the end of the half for eight yard or

1619
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:12,720
Speaker 1: wanting that opportunity. I liked it that he wanted it. Yeah,

1620
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:14,680
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a job. It's a job to say no,

1621
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:18,200
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous, it's it's outdoors, it's all of those things. Um,

1622
01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:20,400
Speaker 1: But I like the fact that he fought for it.

1623
01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:22,960
Speaker 1: And I will tell you this, and I'm sure Jessin

1624
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:24,840
Speaker 1: Tucker is the same way. I haven't seen him warm up,

1625
01:20:24,920 --> 01:20:27,320
Speaker 1: but um, when we did take the voice of the game,

1626
01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:31,439
Speaker 1: it was gaming its Patriots and you saw his warm up. Um,

1627
01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:34,960
Speaker 1: it was staggering to watch. And it's got a transition

1628
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:38,240
Speaker 1: and everybody knows that. But um, his his leg strength

1629
01:20:38,360 --> 01:20:41,599
Speaker 1: is something of awe. The talent is, without question, it's there.

1630
01:20:41,680 --> 01:20:45,280
Speaker 1: It's just about consistency now at this level, and finding

1631
01:20:45,320 --> 01:20:47,360
Speaker 1: a way to be a guy like a Justin Tucker

1632
01:20:47,600 --> 01:20:50,160
Speaker 1: that you know, and and there's only one of him

1633
01:20:50,400 --> 01:20:53,160
Speaker 1: so far, but to be very very good and very reliable.

1634
01:20:53,400 --> 01:20:56,559
Speaker 1: That's the goal, right, Consistently make your kicks and especially

1635
01:20:56,640 --> 01:20:59,040
Speaker 1: make the big ones. That's what it's all about. Yeah,

1636
01:20:59,240 --> 01:21:01,360
Speaker 1: it is, I like I like to asking forth though.

1637
01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:03,519
Speaker 1: I thought that was I thought that was pretty cool. Yeah.

1638
01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:07,240
Speaker 1: You like confidence, right, and you want you need that.

1639
01:21:07,439 --> 01:21:10,200
Speaker 1: You gotta have that certainly in that position. And you know,

1640
01:21:10,439 --> 01:21:14,640
Speaker 1: Justin Tucker is incredibly confident, I'm sure, um, and with

1641
01:21:14,800 --> 01:21:17,000
Speaker 1: good reason. I mean, Justin Tucker's a Hall of Famer, right,

1642
01:21:17,080 --> 01:21:19,200
Speaker 1: isn't he? And by might he's a first ballot Hall

1643
01:21:19,240 --> 01:21:21,960
Speaker 1: of Famer. I mean I would think, wouldn't Vnettieri be

1644
01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:23,960
Speaker 1: that is he? That is he in the Hall of Fame?

1645
01:21:24,640 --> 01:21:28,880
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Yeah, has he been out long enough?

1646
01:21:29,160 --> 01:21:30,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's been out long enough. I

1647
01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:33,680
Speaker 1: would think that he would be. And he kicked for

1648
01:21:33,720 --> 01:21:39,160
Speaker 1: a long time at the end. He's forty nine. He

1649
01:21:39,360 --> 01:21:42,160
Speaker 1: is not now. He played He played the two thousand

1650
01:21:42,240 --> 01:21:44,840
Speaker 1: nineteen Yeah, so he's not quite there yet. Yeah. Yeah,

1651
01:21:44,880 --> 01:21:47,200
Speaker 1: four times. So his resume four times Super Bowl champion,

1652
01:21:47,280 --> 01:21:50,080
Speaker 1: three team, three time first team All Pro uh, three

1653
01:21:50,160 --> 01:21:52,559
Speaker 1: Pro Bowlers. Um, some of that could because he played

1654
01:21:52,560 --> 01:21:53,960
Speaker 1: with teams that were in the Super Bowl. Though, you'd

1655
01:21:53,960 --> 01:21:56,800
Speaker 1: still get the nod, wouldn't you. Um? I mean you

1656
01:21:56,920 --> 01:21:59,640
Speaker 1: think he's on the NFL A hundred Anniversary team. He's

1657
01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:02,280
Speaker 1: on the tooth thousand All Decades Team. Yeah, but that's

1658
01:22:02,280 --> 01:22:04,800
Speaker 1: because they just didn't put Justin Tucker on five Pro Bowls,

1659
01:22:04,840 --> 01:22:07,280

01:22:17,880 --> 01:22:22,080
Speaker 1: snow kick. He won two Super Bowls. One, Um, I

1664
01:22:22,120 --> 01:22:24,040
Speaker 1: mean they might both be it's been a while since

1665
01:22:24,080 --> 01:22:27,760
Speaker 1: we've had one. Is Morton Anderson the last Morton Anderson? Yeah,

1666
01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:31,920
Speaker 1: and then like jon Stenrud Yeah, George Blanda. It's a

1667
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:34,800
Speaker 1: short list. Most field goals made since two thousand and twelve,

1668
01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:37,280
Speaker 1: most points scored since two thousand twelve, best field goal

1674
01:22:51,080 --> 01:22:54,519
Speaker 1: yard makes. I mean, he's he's ridiculous. I think Vinetarry

1675
01:22:54,520 --> 01:22:56,880
Speaker 1: will get in to your point to obviously, I'm trying

1676
01:22:56,920 --> 01:23:01,519
Speaker 1: to think about no, Yeah that I knew that couldn't

1677
01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:04,160
Speaker 1: be it. Yeah, I just was pulling up like kickers

1678
01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:09,720
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame. Standard grows up. Blanda, was

1679
01:23:09,760 --> 01:23:17,200
Speaker 1: it Yon centered from Sweden? And then I should say

1680
01:23:17,240 --> 01:23:18,760
Speaker 1: to you because I feel like that's what follows that.

1681
01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:20,240
Speaker 1: But I don't believe you. On Stannard went to the

1682
01:23:20,360 --> 01:23:24,840
Speaker 1: unto a place that it was now just as expensive

1683
01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:27,680
Speaker 1: as the U in terms of real estate, perhaps more

1684
01:23:27,720 --> 01:23:33,640
Speaker 1: so even Montana Montana State. There is clues. Ask him

1685
01:23:33,680 --> 01:23:35,960
Speaker 1: enough questions eventually you get there. Not many of them,

1686
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:38,920
Speaker 1: but certainly uh Tucker would certainly be headed that way,

1687
01:23:39,479 --> 01:23:41,840
Speaker 1: with the way that his career has gone. So much

1688
01:23:41,840 --> 01:23:43,280
Speaker 1: more to come. You'll listen to Clear the Browns Daily

1689
01:23:43,320 --> 01:24:02,640
Speaker 1: on at ESPN Cleveland. Cleveland Brown's Daily, brought to you

1690
01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:07,719
Speaker 1: by vallely Ben coming soon to Ohio on ESPN Cleveland.

1691
01:24:08,840 --> 01:24:11,760
Speaker 1: All right, let's play a game of pop quiz. I

1692
01:24:11,880 --> 01:24:16,919
Speaker 1: like it. How many seven pass catchers on the Cleveland

1693
01:24:16,960 --> 01:24:22,720
Speaker 1: Browns roster made more money this year in salary than

1694
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:28,320
Speaker 1: Jackson Smith and Jigba made at Ohio State. Oh so

1695
01:24:28,479 --> 01:24:30,960
Speaker 1: you all the whole lot of our receivers. Everybody who

1696
01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:33,479
Speaker 1: catches it isn't a running back. Everybody who catches the

1697
01:24:33,479 --> 01:24:36,640
Speaker 1: pass who isn't a running back in basal ends to

1698
01:24:36,880 --> 01:24:40,080
Speaker 1: tight ends too. So I'm guessing it's going to be

1699
01:24:40,160 --> 01:24:42,960
Speaker 1: one because with the way i'm Ari's contract destructured, so

1700
01:24:43,080 --> 01:24:46,080
Speaker 1: it'll be chief one. Well, I'm saying cap hit. I'll

1701
01:24:46,160 --> 01:24:49,960
Speaker 1: use cap hit then too, you would be correct. Amari

1702
01:24:50,040 --> 01:24:52,840
Speaker 1: Cooper and the Chief both made more. Uh, they are

1703
01:24:52,880 --> 01:24:55,200
Speaker 1: the only ones who did. Everybody else is on a

1704
01:24:55,280 --> 01:24:58,599
Speaker 1: rookie deal. Jackson Smith and Jigba made one. Allegedly made

1705
01:24:58,640 --> 01:25:01,960
Speaker 1: one point seven million dollars for playing wide receiver at

1706
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:05,360
Speaker 1: Ohio State and played a boat amounted to about a game.

1707
01:25:05,400 --> 01:25:07,280
Speaker 1: He was hurt in the Notre Dame game, played a

1708
01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:09,240
Speaker 1: little bit in the Iowa game. That's it. That's the

1709
01:25:09,360 --> 01:25:11,840
Speaker 1: list opted out of the bowl games. All of this

1710
01:25:12,120 --> 01:25:16,280
Speaker 1: was crowdsourced from boosters and fans and stuff, and they

1711
01:25:16,360 --> 01:25:19,760
Speaker 1: paid it. C. J. Stroud was, uh, like two point

1712
01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:22,200
Speaker 1: seven five. Are people freaking out that, like O House,

1713
01:25:22,240 --> 01:25:25,000
Speaker 1: it's getting outbid by on some of these people. Oh no,

1714
01:25:25,080 --> 01:25:27,920
Speaker 1: it's quite calm. Yeah no, No one's talking about it.

1715
01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:32,200
Speaker 1: Well this way, I literally do three hours on this

1716
01:25:32,680 --> 01:25:35,600
Speaker 1: every morning. If I played it, if I know about it.

1717
01:25:36,360 --> 01:25:39,560
Speaker 1: Nobody's second mortgage out to help to hope finance some

1718
01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:42,519
Speaker 1: of that. The look of it's impossible. You have it's

1719
01:25:42,560 --> 01:25:46,000
Speaker 1: never gonna end. You have a an athletic department that

1720
01:25:46,520 --> 01:25:49,519
Speaker 1: that's revenues is two hundred and twenty five million dollars

1721
01:25:50,200 --> 01:25:54,240
Speaker 1: whose expenditures are A hundred and eighty nine right, and

1722
01:25:54,280 --> 01:25:56,040
Speaker 1: they have thirty three sports. They don't need them. They

1723
01:25:56,080 --> 01:25:58,439
Speaker 1: could have fifteen. They choose to do thirty three. And

1724
01:25:59,200 --> 01:26:03,519
Speaker 1: they are asked Joe fan to give their at press

1725
01:26:03,560 --> 01:26:06,320
Speaker 1: conferences saying we need our fans, like, are you kidding?

1726
01:26:07,040 --> 01:26:10,360
Speaker 1: Haven't they done enough? It's an awful look. It's an

1727
01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:13,120
Speaker 1: awful look. And people say, oh, they can't, they can't.

1728
01:26:13,120 --> 01:26:15,360
Speaker 1: I said, well, how about take the nine million dollars

1729
01:26:15,439 --> 01:26:17,240
Speaker 1: a head coach makes and having give four point four

1730
01:26:17,280 --> 01:26:19,679
Speaker 1: point five percent of that or four point five million

1731
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:21,640
Speaker 1: of that to the collective? That you can't do that

1732
01:26:21,760 --> 01:26:23,840
Speaker 1: encable only want to allow it. Folks. There is no

1733
01:26:23,960 --> 01:26:26,519
Speaker 1: n C double A. The presidence of the athletic directors

1734
01:26:26,640 --> 01:26:28,280
Speaker 1: are the n C double A. The n C double

1735
01:26:28,320 --> 01:26:31,760
Speaker 1: A has not ruled on anything from a ruling standpoint

1736
01:26:32,080 --> 01:26:35,120
Speaker 1: since COVID. They have no enforcement arm. They laid them off.

1737
01:26:35,160 --> 01:26:37,400
Speaker 1: There's no enforcement to the n C double A. It's lawless.

1738
01:26:37,600 --> 01:26:40,040
Speaker 1: You can do whatever you wanted. If you want to say, okay,

1739
01:26:40,080 --> 01:26:41,519
Speaker 1: now we can fund our own collective, you can do it.

1740
01:26:41,560 --> 01:26:47,400
Speaker 1: In a second. Crazy, you're really enjoying that for three

1741
01:26:49,400 --> 01:26:52,040
Speaker 1: I do enjoy it. Yeah, I like it. It's fine, um,

1742
01:26:52,439 --> 01:26:56,200
Speaker 1: but it's never ending. All they had to do was

1743
01:26:56,360 --> 01:26:59,280
Speaker 1: just put the boundaries in place and then let them go.

1744
01:26:59,640 --> 01:27:01,479
Speaker 1: Oh they no, but they didn't do it. All they

1745
01:27:01,560 --> 01:27:03,320
Speaker 1: have to do now, and there is only one way

1746
01:27:03,360 --> 01:27:05,880
Speaker 1: out of it. I can't be convinced that there's another.

1747
01:27:06,200 --> 01:27:07,640
Speaker 1: All they have to do is call it what it is,

1748
01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:11,559
Speaker 1: professional sports, and share the revenue and have salary caps

1749
01:27:11,600 --> 01:27:13,479
Speaker 1: and contracts, just like they do everywhere else. Just call

1750
01:27:13,520 --> 01:27:16,240
Speaker 1: it what it is. It's enough, it's but they refuse

1751
01:27:16,360 --> 01:27:18,280
Speaker 1: to do that, and so doing so now they have

1752
01:27:18,360 --> 01:27:23,559
Speaker 1: no control over any of it. It's wild man. Catch
