1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:01,040
Speaker 1: And we're back.

2
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 2: Happy Football twenty twenty five to you and yours.

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: That was fun, wasn't it? Everybody?

4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 3: It was?

5
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 2: Welcome to another season of the Bark Tank, presented to

6
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 2: you by Sugardale. I made a quick trip to the

7
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 2: home office today. We're so happy you're here with us

8
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 2: on a victory Monday as we sit here and record this.

9
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 2: This is the Bark Tank presented by Sugardale. My name

10
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 2: is ANDREWS Ciciliano. After a Brown's victory thirty to ten

11
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 2: over the Carolina Panthers Friday Night lights down in Charlotte

12
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 2: last week, a game in which Shador Sanders friends look

13
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: the part. You've seen the highlights by now you've likely

14
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 2: heard the miked up segment that the Browns content team

15
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 2: did such great work with. Check it out in Cleveland

16
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,279
Speaker 2: Browns dot Com shaudor micd up and his interaction there

17
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 2: with Miles Garrett on the sideline hysterical. Go check it

18
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 2: out a little bit later when you're done with this pod.

19
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 2: But let's just step back for a couple of seconds

20
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: here and get away from the hype and go go

21
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: to Friday afternoon, Friday evening when we're in the booth

22
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 2: or or Friday night when we're on the field before

23
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 2: the game began, I said to Nathan Zieger, my partner

24
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 2: in girod Cherry, our partner, down to the sideline, and

25
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: I said, guys, as I'm excited, I am as excited

26
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: I beg your pardon for this game as I have

27
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 2: been for any Browns preseason game in recent memory. Now,

28
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 2: we've said all summer, ever since the draft, that these

29
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 2: preseason games with a legitimate quarterback battle will mean something,

30
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 2: as will the joint practice with the Panthers, and the

31
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 2: two joint practices coming up this week with the Philadelphia Eagles.

32
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 2: And guess what they do mean something? And guess what

33
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,279
Speaker 2: should or Sanders look the part. Forget about the stats

34
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: for a second, look at the little things.

35
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: Look at the.

36
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: Way he moved in the pockets right, and give credit

37
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: to Amani Marshall, undrafted rookie free agent running back from

38
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: Mapp State who picked up that blitz and then should

39
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: or slid to his right, and then he found Caden

40
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: Davis and he threw it low where only Davis can

41
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 2: get a great accuracy. Go to the first touchdown where

42
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: he's rolling to his left and he throws that layered

43
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: ball into the corner in Davis again, makes a very

44
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: nice player.

45
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: There's a lot of traffic.

46
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: It's one of those where when you throw it your

47
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 2: leg Oh no, even though they're all twenty two, there

48
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: are a lot of hands there, but you do with

49
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 2: great accuracy. Look at the ball that he hit to

50
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: Luke Floria down the sideline again, out of the pocket,

51
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 2: Luke with an amazing one handed catch. Those are the

52
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 2: plays you want to see your rookie, or for that matter,

53
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 2: any quarterback make. And he did it with limited reps

54
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 2: in practice.

55
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: Now all of you, and I say, you don't mean

56
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 1: necessarily Browns fans.

57
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 2: A lot of this was just national media noise that

58
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: wanted to say, well, bad setup, guys, barely practice, why

59
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,399
Speaker 2: do you throw him out there? I counter with this,

60
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 2: who doesn't want opportunity? All of us want opportunity, and

61
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: when the lights go on and given the opportunity to

62
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 2: show what you can do, he did it. Who doesn't

63
00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 2: want opportunity, Who doesn't want a chance. He was given

64
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: the chance. He did the job, and yes, it'll be

65
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 2: fascinating now moving forward. I loved his interview on the

66
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 2: sideline with a friend of Dde Kinkawala on the News

67
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: five broadcast. Great job, by the way, Chris and Joe.

68
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: I watched when I came home and Addy, of course

69
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 2: he gave himself a c if I recall, like a

70
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: grade A letter grade.

71
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: Right, he was.

72
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 2: Self deprecating, self critical on the sideline and afterwards on

73
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: the podium as well. Right, that's great, like understanding there

74
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: is more to improve on. Understanding that was far from

75
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 2: a great game, but understanding that when given the opportunity,

76
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: you better believe he seized it.

77
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: Yeah he did.

78
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: And now the quarterback competition gets that much more interesting

79
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: because Dylan Gabriel is easing back into form. He was

80
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 2: able to practice on Monday. Kenny Pickett did some seven

81
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 2: on seven stuff as well. He's gonna get back Joe

82
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: Flacco working with the ones primarily on Monday. People say, well,

83
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 2: what do you read in to the fact that Flacco

84
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 2: didn't play. Well, Look, Flacco is likely going to start,

85
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 2: for my money, this is just me week one. That

86
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: could change a lot of time between now.

87
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: And week one.

88
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: But the Browns starters did not play and Joe Flacco

89
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 2: is healthy, so you figure it out. At least where

90
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 2: we stood on Friday night Joe Flacco. During the joint

91
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 2: practice on Wednesday, there were eight quarterbacks dressed, including Tyler

92
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 2: Huntley and then the three for Carolina. You had Bryce Young,

93
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 2: Andy Dalton, and Jack Cooker. Joe Flacco threw the best

94
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 2: ball of those eight quarterbacks now standing on the field

95
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 2: on Wednesday.

96
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: How does it go moving forward?

97
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 2: I don't know, but the headline here and you could

98
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 2: feel good about it is Shador Sanders looked the part

99
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 2: and made the quarterback conversation that much more interesting. Let's

100
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 2: point out other guys that look good as well. I

101
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 2: have said, and I've said it all summer that if

102
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 2: you want to take the quarterback conversation out of it,

103
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 2: just briefly, the other Browns rookies this class from April

104
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 2: will determine the future, truly, just as much as the

105
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 2: quarterbacks will. Mason Graham played well. Carson Swessinger had six

106
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 2: tackles in twelve plays. Asking for a friend.

107
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: Is that good? It's good.

108
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 2: Dylan Sampson didn't get much run. Harold fan and didn't

109
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 2: get much run. What does that tell you? It tells

110
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 2: you They're going to be a huge part of this

111
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 2: team from day one. Because if they're barely out there right,

112
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 2: what does that mean? Means they've already showed enough. They're

113
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: going to be a huge part of this team. Week

114
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: one against the Cincinnati Bengals at Huntington bank Field on

115
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 2: September seventh. Also looking pretty good, undrafted guys like Luke Floria.

116
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 2: Now unfortunately on that beautiful thirty yard catch down the

117
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 2: right sideline where he tipped to himself, Floria pulled a

118
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 2: and the Browns today have.

119
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: Waived him with an injury designation. It's heartbreaking.

120
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 2: A guy who grew up going to Browns games his

121
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 2: dad Joe season tickets, used to go to camp, used

122
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 2: to go to games with a jersey on. He looks

123
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 2: so good at training camp, so good, and he looked

124
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 2: really good out there with that great catch in front

125
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 2: of the national TV audience. But as soon as he

126
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 2: caught it, he grabbed that hammy and he has the

127
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 2: injury designation. Gage Larvadan friends had the touchdown to the

128
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 2: end around. He was also making plays in practice on Monday,

129
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 2: and he has now a legitimate shot, in my opinion,

130
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 2: to make this team. He's listed on your roster as

131
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 2: South Carolina, but Gage Larvadan played on Miami of Ohio.

132
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 2: Before that, he played at a school in Louisiana, initially

133
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 2: out of high school. He's a New Orleans kid, but

134
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 2: Gage larvadn keep an eye on that name. And again

135
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 2: Larva Daan, not Larvadanian or like a lot of people

136
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 2: have messed it up, it is Larviadan. He stood out

137
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 2: as well. Coming up shortly, we're going to talk to

138
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 2: a guy that stood out on the defensive side that

139
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 2: I love. I'm excited for you to get to know

140
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 2: Tony Brown or as he now calls himself, Apex, and

141
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 2: he may even fingers crossed. He may even bring his

142
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: staff with him. You saw the staff as he entered

143
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 2: Bank of America standing on Friday night with shud Or Sanders,

144
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 2: and he got a lot of National pub I'm laughing,

145
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 2: not at Tony Brown or Apex. I'm laughing because I

146
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 2: love the guy, Nathan, and I love the guy. He

147
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 2: truly is one of our favorite people at the Cross

148
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 2: Country Mortgage campus, and I'm excited that you get a

149
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 2: chance to meet him, also standing out for the Browns.

150
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm laughing. I thought Luke Whipler did really

151
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 2: well at Center. He started playing the majority of the

152
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 2: first half. It is vital this year for the Browns

153
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 2: to find depth on the offensive line, Whipler and Zack

154
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 2: Center being two huge pieces, one in his third year,

155
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 2: one in his second year. Zach Center didn't make the trip,

156
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 2: but he should be good to going back in practice

157
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 2: this week. So that is significantly. Luke Whippler and he's

158
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 2: miked up, or rather you could hear him on that

159
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 2: should or twelve minute miked up at Cleveland Browns dot com.

160
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 2: You could hear him talking to your quarterback. I thought

161
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 2: Luke Whipler played well as well. Amani Marshall ran hard

162
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: and picked up a block. Ask any coach in the NFL,

163
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 2: any coach right, what do you need from a rookie

164
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: running back? It's blitz pick up. Running the football is great, sure,

165
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 2: but can I trust you on third down? The second

166
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 2: should or Sanders touchdown past Decaden Davis happened because of

167
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 2: Amni Marshall, who not only ran well, but was back

168
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 2: in his old stomping grounds played at app State in Boone,

169
00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 2: North Carolina. And we should also tip the cap to

170
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 2: thirty five Toatwa. I'm sorry, yes toa tower. Sometimes I

171
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 2: had a mental block on his name. It's the right

172
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 2: way to say it. I memorize it fifteen times. Former

173
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 2: UFL Michigan panther Guy was out of football. Guy was

174
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 2: working at a golf course right UFL called. He scored

175
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 2: six touchdowns in a limited amount of games. He wasn't

176
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 2: in camp. The Browns had some running back injuries. He

177
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 2: get him in a camp. Dude, that guy runs over people,

178
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 2: shoulder square, gets downhill. Look if you might be a

179
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 2: long shot to make the running back room when you

180
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 2: get to camp as late as you do, it's just

181
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 2: a numbers game. But that guy ran through people, all right.

182
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 2: I mentioned our man Tony Brown, also known as Apex.

183
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 2: I am beyond thrilled that you get a chance to

184
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 2: get to know. Like I said, I can't be more happy,

185
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 2: more thankful that this dude is here on the Bark

186
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 2: Tank presented by Sugardale. He brought ex caliber Tony Brown, Apex.

187
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 2: We will get to ex caliber in a second. First

188
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 2: of all, just welcome after a great game to this

189
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 2: pod which is called the Bark Tank.

190
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: So Tony, you are in the Bark Tank.

191
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 3: My friend, blessed, bless pleasure to be here. I'm honored

Speaker 2: Now everything well, we're blessed and honored as well. Before

195
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 2: we talk about all the national hype and ex caliber

196
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 2: and the entrance on Friday, let's talk.

197
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: About you, because you deserve your flowers here. Tony.

198
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 2: You didn't play a single defensive snap last year special

199
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 2: teams demon than the injury. Then you went on the shelf,

200
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 2: but you played thirty two defensive snaps Friday. And it

201
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 2: wasn't just hey, he's out there. You're hitting people, You're

202
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 2: lowering shoulders and breaking up passes. As the second guy

203
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 2: in you're going stride for stride with a top ten

204
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 2: pick a guy who's four or five inches taller than

205
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 2: you and Ted McMillan, and you're blanketing him. You're not

206
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 2: just a special teams guy. How good did that feel

207
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 2: Friday night?

208
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 4: Well, first and most foremost, it was a blessing just

209
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 4: to be out there, to have the opportunity to be

210
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 4: what I needed to be for my brothers on the field,

211
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 4: not just for myself. It always, uh, you know, fulfills

212
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 4: a hole in you whenever you know the work that

213
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 4: you put in you know, you get the outcome that

214
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 4: you that you saw in your brain, that you envisioned

215
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 4: from the work that you put in prior to So

216
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 4: it was a very nice feeling to be that guy

217
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 4: who I said I was gonna be for myself, for

218
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 4: my family, and for my brothers.

219
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 2: And it sends a message because with MJ down, I

220
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 2: mean next man up at corner, did it send the message,

221
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 2: Hey man, I can be that guy. I can be

222
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 2: a guy that it isn't just in on teams and

223
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 2: isn't just chilling with Bubba, like I can be someone

224
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 2: who contributes defensively.

225
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 4: In the defensive back room, the corners room specifically, we

226
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 4: pride ourselves on you're only as strong as the weakest link.

227
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 4: Everyone in the defensive back room comes in the room

228
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 4: with the mind state of a starter. Because football is

229
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 4: one hundred percent injury rate, there's no guarantee that one

230
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 4: corner will play the whole season, and you're only as

231
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 4: good as the next man up. So in my brain,

232
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 4: I'm always preparing like I'm a starter. I'm always you know,

233
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 4: preparing that I'm the next man up. And I also

234
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 4: want to say I'm still gonna be there for Bubba

235
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 4: regardless of anything in that role. But you know it didn't.

236
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 4: It's not surprising or shocking. I don't think to anyone

237
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 4: in the room, you know the success that I had

238
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 4: what I was in, or that anyone has while I'm in,

239
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 4: and there will be continued success in the dB room

240
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 4: because that is the mindset that we attack practice with

241
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 4: every day.

242
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were not surprised.

243
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 2: Nathan and I call on the game upstairs, were in

244
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 2: no way surprised. We loved it too. When you're going

245
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 2: up against tat McMillan, what was that matchup? Like, here's

246
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 2: a top ten guy, a guy that he's getting all

247
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 2: this hype. You know, Bryce Young is gonna look at him.

248
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: He was in there in the second half as well,

249
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 2: and you're going stride for stride and get physical and

250
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 2: manning him up.

251
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's uh, you know, we just see numbers out there.

252
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 4: It's not you know, it's the NFL. It's not you know.

253
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 4: I've I've this is my eighth year in NFL. I've

254
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 4: seen and covered illustrious names that there's names and numbers

255
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 4: on the field. There is no point out there when

256
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 4: I'm oh, this is X y Z, this is not

257
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 4: this is just this is the guy that's in front

258
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 4: of me. I'm gonna stick to my technique and I'm

259
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 4: going to force him to do something based off of

260
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 4: my technique. I'm not going to change my technique based

261
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 4: off of him. There's going to be a receivering matrix

262
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 4: based on you know, the receivers strong suits off their number,

263
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 4: not off their name. So it's always off the number

264
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 4: where they're aligned that you know, the personnel grouping. Those

265
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 4: are things that go through my brain. It's never like heyo,

266
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 4: this is who it is. You know, I am who

267
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 4: I am APEX.

268
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 2: So, first of all, you are not a member of

269
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 2: Sugar Sanders entourage, as I heard some people referred to

270
00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:58,600

271
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: You heard that, right, I definitely heard that.

272
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 3: I've heard that.

273
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: I remember the rage during your eighth NFL season.

274
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 2: You're a good football player. So I was on the

275
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,000

00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 2: you guys get off the bus and you had the

277
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 2: big entrance. First of all, that was your uh speaker

278
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 2: that you were Okay, how big is that speaker?

279
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: Bag?

280
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 3: And that was my bagman said, I was hearing his bed.

281
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 3: That was my bad.

282
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: Okay, how big is that speaker? I can't give it was.

283
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 5: It was like it's like, uh, I guess three ft

284
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 5: three feet all I guess okay?

285
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 2: And that was Shador's unreleased song correct okay, and it

286
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 2: kept playing on a loop.

287
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, how did you guys come up with this?

288
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 4: So I'm a veteran right on the team is a great, great,

289
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 4: awesome young player. I have a lot of respect for

290
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 4: what he represents as a son, as a football player,

291
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 4: and as someone who persevered a situation that everyone in

292
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 4: the world saw that everyone in the world that was

293
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 4: watching in my life right, And this goes along with

294
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 4: the staff.

295
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 3: I have a.

296
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 4: Gift to empower people with me being my authentic self

297
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 4: and me having like the power of what's the word

298
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 4: I'm looking for. I'll find it later in this part,

299
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 4: but like, I want to empower people. So, as I

300
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 4: was talking to and we found out he's starting, I'm

301
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 4: very close with him since the first day I met him,

302
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 4: Like I told him, Hey, I want to be the

303
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 4: guy you can go to whenever you know with anything, bro,

304
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 4: when you're head, when you bump jell no wall, we

305
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 4: don't understand this.

306
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 3: And so we were developing great rapport.

307
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 4: All through OTA's up to now, and when I found

308
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 4: out he had to start, I'm like, Yo, this is

309
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 4: my opportunity.

310
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 3: I want to make sure that that.

311
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 4: He is exactly what he needs to be on game day,

312
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 4: regardless of any other factors to have to do with anything.

313
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 4: Forget that outside world, forget this that that that Hey shave.

Speaker 4: you to be your best out there on the field,

316
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 4: And like we got to talking like this is what

317
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 4: I'm gonna need do do do do? I'm like, all right, listen.

318
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 4: As a young player, you can like second guess like

319
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 4: oh man, but people are gonna judge like they did judge,

320
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 4: like they're gonna judge me if I do what You're

321
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 4: gonna Listen, Bro, at the end of the day, you

322
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 4: are the one playing. You are the one throwing the ball,

323

325
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 4: of what rounds you went, regardless of how everything shook out.

326
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 4: It just so happens that the first time the Browns

327
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 4: putting jerseys on, you should are all the starter. So

328
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 4: that's the only thing that matters. So we need to

329
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 4: attack this game exactly as you envision yourself being in

330
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 4: the NFL. Like I talked to him about how you know,

331
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 4: the interviews he said, how he talked how he could

332
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 4: change a franchise, how he could do this. I'm like,

333
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 4: this is a great moment in order to prove it

334
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 4: to you, not just to yourself, but like to the world,

335
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 4: to anyone that you thought doubted you, Like, this is

336
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 4: the opportunity. So as we were talking through like, yo,

337
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 4: I gotta go, I gotta go full Shadeer, I'm like, Okay, Bell,

338
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 4: let's go full. So I'm like, so that was That

339
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 4: was the biggest thing. I like to empower young guys

340
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 4: because I love everything represents as second generation of excellence.

341
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 4: I have the highest level of respect for what his

342
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 4: father's done with his children and for what his father

343
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 4: brought to the NFL, to the game of football. You know,

344
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 4: I met Dion when I was a senior in high school.

345
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 4: With the Undarmer game, my shoulder popped out and he

346
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,360
Speaker 4: had a quick conversation with me just about perseverance. And

347
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 4: I don't even know if he remembers, but you know,

348
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 4: that's the amout I look up to and so just

349
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 4: in that respect that I had for his father, like

350
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 4: I felt the responsibility to empower this young man to

351
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 4: go have a to feel as comfortable in his skin

352
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 4: as he can to go beat a great player that

353
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:48,439

411
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 2: yours truly, please join us at one o'clock. Let's go

412
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 2: around the AFC North real quick. Let's give you some

413
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 2: other news in the league. Time now for what's sizzlin.

414
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 2: Brought to you by Sugardale. In the AFC North, the

415
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 2: Ravens played on Friday and they had yet another injury,

416
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 2: this time it's Robert longer Beam. You may not know him.

417
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 2: He's a sixth round rookie corner out of Rutgers. I

418
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 2: had one of his games last year. He's a physical

419
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 2: corner that would have given them some really good depth

420
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 2: this year. It's also a very deep position. Regardless he

421
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 2: goes on injured reserve, Robert longer Beam is out for

422
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 2: the season. In Pittsburgh, Aaron Rodgers did not play in

423
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 2: the Steelers preseason opener. However, Skyler Thompson looked pretty good. Also,

424
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 2: there is news out of Pittsburgh reportedly that both Cam

425
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 2: Hayward and kicker Chris Boswell aren't necessarily holding in, but

426
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 2: they have him been doing much, especially Hayward, and that

427
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 2: both would like new contracts. And in Cincinnati, the Browns

428
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 2: Week one opponent September seventh at Huntington bank Field, Joe

429
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 2: Burrow Jamar Chase looked the part certainly on Thursday night

430
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 2: as they played the entire first quarter. So gone are

431
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 2: the days of the Bengals playing no in the preseason.

432
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 2: They say they don't want to be rusty week one.

433
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 2: We got a couple of weeks until Week one. We

434
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 2: will see if that actually works. In the Browns home

435
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 2: opener at Huntingdon bank Field.

436
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:12,919
