1 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,720 Speaker 1: Welcome to another episode up the from the Podium podcast. 2 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 2: I'm Gabe Klea. 3 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,320 Speaker 1: We've reached week sixteen of the NFL season and the 4 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: Browns are back to work today prepping for the Cincinnati 5 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,239 Speaker 1: Bengals this coming Sunday. On this episode, you'll hear from 6 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: head coach Kevin Stefanski, quarterbacks Jamis Winston and Dorian Thompson Robinson, 7 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: and cornerback Denzel Ward. Let's get things started with head 8 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 1: coach Kevin Stefanski, who officially announced his quarterback change. 9 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 3: Okay Division opponent on the road going down to Cincinnati. 10 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 3: Obviously a team we know well well, coached good players 11 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 3: all three sides of the ball, so we got to 12 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 3: be about our business. As you guys know, she's going 13 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 3: to start Dorian in this game. Just felt like wanted 14 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 3: to give him an opportunity and give him an entire 15 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,639 Speaker 3: week to prepare as a starter. So that's what went 16 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 3: into the decision. But with that, I'll take any questions. 17 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 4: Torian had to give drown Hi kind of the deep 18 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 4: end of the pool last year. What are your expectations 19 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 4: now that he's had done a. 20 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 3: Lot of work, but enough to you he had two 21 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 3: games where where he had the whole week's worth of preparation. 22 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 3: So that's important here. I think obviously diving into the preparation, 23 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 3: using every single one of these days to get better 24 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 3: understand the whys of all the plays. 25 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:21,119 Speaker 5: Look at him or as an indictment of the interceptions 26 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 5: that James. 27 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 3: I wouldn't characterize it that way. This is we're trying 28 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 3: to find a way to win against a division opponent 29 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 3: on the road. Obviously we need to take better care 30 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 3: of the football as an offense. That that's the obvious 31 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 3: part of it. And that's that's Dorian's job. That's the 32 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 3: offensive job. That's everybody who touches the ball's job. It's 33 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 3: not about one person. 34 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 2: Jamis the back going to be the number two? Yes? 35 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 2: Would you ding to start the lesser games? 36 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 3: I'm so weak to week in this business. Scut jamis 37 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 3: kind of reaction. He's a pro and and I think 38 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 3: you guys know that about him. He wants to do 39 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 3: what ever he can do to help this football team. 40 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 3: He will continue to do that. He'll continue to lead 41 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,959 Speaker 3: in his own way, He'll continue to provide great leadership 42 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 3: to this football team. So he's a pros pro. 43 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 5: Think that he gives you a better VTR, gives you 44 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 5: a better opportunity this week than Winston. 45 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 3: We just look at it week to week. Jeff, you 46 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 3: want to give your team the best chance to win. Obviously, 47 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 3: we want to see during out there. I want to 48 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 3: give him a week's worth of preparation to get ready. 49 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 3: But this is the greatest team game there is. And 50 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 3: I know so much gets put on the quarterback and 51 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 3: a lot of discussion about the quarterback, and we understand that, 52 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 3: but this is about the Cleveland Browns. 53 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 2: Out of the concussion protocol yet not yet. 54 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 6: A lot of time talking to your team about avoiding 55 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,679 Speaker 6: self inflicted wounds in games, and unfortunately this year it 56 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 6: just every week there's self inflicted wounds. Why do you 57 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 6: think that that just hasn't taken this year, Whether it's 58 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 6: the turnovers, whether it's the penalty's pre. 59 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 3: Snap penalties, what do you think is going on? Well, 60 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 3: I think it's important to understand that that turnover margin 61 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 3: is the most important stat there is that determines winning 62 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 3: and losing. We led the league and giveaways last year, 63 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 3: and we had a bunch of takeaways as well and survived. 64 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 3: But we have given the ball away too many times, 65 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 3: and like I've told our team, we've turned up the 66 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 3: degree of difficulty when you do that, So our ability 67 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 3: as a football team to take care of the ball, 68 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 3: whether it's the center, quarterback exchange, it's the running back, 69 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 3: it's our kick returner, punt returner, whomever is in possession 70 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 3: of that ball. It is critical to our success that 71 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 3: we maintain possession and we haven't done a good enough 72 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 3: job of that to date. So looking this week to 73 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 3: make sure that we take care of the ball to 74 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,119 Speaker 3: give our team a chance ultimately to find that win. 75 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 7: Do you see Dorian as a shotgun quarterback or an 76 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 7: undercenter quarterback. 77 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 3: I think they're all different to any and I don't 78 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 3: think it's one or the other. I think there's certainly 79 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 3: elements to his game that he can operate from the gun. 80 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 3: I've seen him under center quite a bit and know 81 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 3: he's comfortable there as well, So I think it's so 82 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 3: specific to the concept. 83 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 8: Brought a look at TTR. 84 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 4: What did you want him to work on in the offseason. 85 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 4: I know it was a small sample size last year, 86 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 4: but what did you need him to work on and 87 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 4: what development have you seen even on. 88 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 8: The practice field. 89 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 3: I think a young player, Tom that's really gotten better 90 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 3: in every area. I mean, I can go back to 91 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 3: when we first got during and some of the things 92 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 3: were different in terms of calling the plays in the 93 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 3: huddle and some of the Caden stuff at the line 94 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 3: of scrimmage. So he's done a very very good job 95 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 3: of getting up to speed on all the nuance of 96 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 3: the position. He's done a very good job of keeping 97 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 3: himself prepared for when a moment comes that he's being 98 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 3: put in there. So he's really taken to the preparation 99 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 3: part of this really well. 100 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 9: Bill Tony shotgun question, would you expect the offense to 101 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 9: look more like you did early in the season with 102 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 9: DeShawn than it did with Jamis As. 103 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 3: I think it's so important that we as coaches obviously 104 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 3: put our players in position to succeed. So certainly, when 105 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 3: you're talking about the quarterback position, you're going to lean 106 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 3: into plays that they're comfortable with, concepts that they're comfortable with, 107 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 3: and that's run game, that's past game, it's all the above. 108 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 3: So with Dorian, I can't say what it's exactly going 109 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 3: to look like other than to say you make sure 110 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 3: that it's things that he's comfortable with. 111 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 9: In the huddle, and Joeltonio said that he was impressed by. 112 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 2: His command of the huddle. 113 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 10: How have you seen these. 114 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 11: Confidence grow and or not shift from some of the 115 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 11: things that he experienced and is right the year heading 116 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 11: into this start. 117 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 3: I think young players and the huddle in college football 118 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 3: is really going away as well. So some of the 119 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 3: play calls and the things that happened from the huddle 120 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 3: to the line of scrimmage can be new for some 121 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 3: players depending on the system they come out of. And 122 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 3: Dorian really has spent his career in this league getting 123 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 3: up to speed and he's done a nice job. It's 124 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 3: not something that just happens overnight. You have to work 125 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 3: at it. So when you're talking about command in the huddle, 126 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 3: it's really calling that play, understanding that play. When you're 127 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 3: telling the why what to do, you're staring at the 128 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 3: y and we're telling the ex what to do, you're 129 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 3: staring at the Actually all those little things that go 130 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 3: into having great command in the huddle. That's something he's 131 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 3: worked very hard at. 132 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 11: See and Dorian coming out of camp that helped you 133 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 11: make him the co number two with James. 134 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 3: I thought he performed really well throughout camp. Mary Kay. 135 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 3: Even going back to spring, I thought he was really good. 136 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 3: I thought the preseason games, I thought he did a 137 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 3: nice job in his opportunity. So it's really was a 138 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 3: global evaluation from everything he did back from the spring 139 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 3: through the summer. 140 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 11: God and just maybe how have you seen Dorian grow 141 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 11: from year one to year two to not get this opportunity? 142 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 8: Obviously latency. 143 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 3: I think, like any young player, you're learning from everything 144 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 3: that comes your way on the field. Off the field, 145 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 3: I think he's really pushed himself. We're excited about this 146 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 3: opportunity for him, but he understands the work that goes 147 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 3: into it. 148 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 7: Dave's not practicing the day and you sign a tight 149 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 7: end to the active roster, is that a signal that 150 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 7: that there's concerned that David won't play sun uh Sunday 151 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 7: in since. 152 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 3: The name uh I we're still not sure about his availability, 153 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 3: but I that the signing of the tight end is 154 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 3: is not related to his availability. 155 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 2: He's still protocol. 156 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 3: Making his way through the protocol.

So that's 646 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 14: really my main focus, UH is knowing the intent of 647 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,880 Speaker 14: the play and then having an exit plan if things 648 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 14: don't go right. 649 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 2: So you talked about your relationship with Jamis. 650 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 13: What have those conversations been like since you found out 651 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 13: you were the starter and how has he encouraged you 652 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 13: in control? 653 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, just whether I've watched all the tape 654 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 14: in the world from this year or I watched two 655 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 14: minutes to tape from this year. We're gonna break down 656 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 14: whatever I need to get ready for this game. And 657 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 14: and like I said, we're gonna meet extra tonight as 658 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,679 Speaker 14: the quarterback room. Just make sure I'm good on everything 659 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 14: from today. But really, any question or or any answer 660 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 14: I need, if he doesn't have it, he'll go find 661 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 14: it for me. So that's uh, a tremendous help for me. 662 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 1: It's a hard spot. 663 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 2: Obviously to get benched as we started quarterback and then 664 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 2: turn around and be able all to support you. 665 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:56,679 Speaker 13: So what does that just say about him? The kind 666 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 13: of when the person did his city is a supporting you. 667 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,360 Speaker 14: I mean, n Normally I'd have to say I see 668 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 14: it every day and you guys don't to, but I 669 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 14: think you guys get to see it every day as well. 670 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 14: That's just who jamis is. I like to think that's 671 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 14: who everybody in the quarterback is, including myself. Since I've 672 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 14: been here, We've always been like that no matter who 673 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 14: is in the room. I think it's just the guys 674 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 14: that they bring in here, uh, and the personalities and 675 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 14: backgrounds they come from. Because I haven't ran into any 676 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 14: single problems that some guys have had being in the 677 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,639 Speaker 14: league with different quarterback rooms and guys not liking each other. 678 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 14: I haven't had that problem. So that's more of a 679 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 14: credit to people upstairs than the people they bring in there. 680 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 2: So last one, the last chance for you to yourself 681 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 2: to the starting quarterback for this team. Oh yeah, Oh yeah. 682 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 2: Best believe we're trying to take full advantage of it too. 683 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 2: We're gonna go out there and we're gonna try and 684 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 2: win these games. Uh. Like I said, not trying to 685 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:51,479 Speaker 2: look big picture. 686 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 14: Uh, just taking the one play at a time, focusing 687 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 14: on my one to tude the outlet. If it's in 688 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 14: the run game, seeing the shell of the D fence, uh, 689 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 14: if we got to check on getting to the right 690 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 14: check like, just making it as simple as possible so 691 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 14: that way when the game comes and the bullets are flying, 692 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 14: my eyes are on the right spots. I'm not looking 693 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 14: at the whole field. I'm looking at just one side 694 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 14: and moving on from there and then after that, they. 695 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 2: Got to be able to deal with these legs. So 696 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 2: I know what these can do, and uh, we're gonna 697 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 2: have to use them when we can. 698 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 1: So finally, cornerback Denzel Ward previewed a high profile matchup 699 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: with Jamar Chase. 700 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 2: Second.
