1 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: We welcome you in to the Cross Country Mortgage Campus 2 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:16,080 Speaker 1: on Jason Gibbs alongside Andrew Gribble. This is the best 3 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: podcast available training camp. Addition, coming up on the program today, 4 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 1: cornerback A. J. Green the Third will join us. Looking 5 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: forward to that conversation for the second year pro out 6 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: of Oklahoma State, Gribbs. We last talked on Sunday after 7 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 1: the Orange and Brown practice. It's only gotten hotter since 8 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: I did not think that was possible, but it has. Indeed, 9 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 1: what has stood out for you as this team gets 10 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:47,919 Speaker 1: ready for preseason game number one in an even hotter location, Jacksonville, Florida. Yeah, 11 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,480 Speaker 1: I think we've officially reached the sick of each other 12 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,279 Speaker 1: stage of training camp. I'm not saying that, you know, 13 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: the the guys are behaving great with each other. We've 14 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: they've kept kept their cool, but it's just you've reached 15 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: the dog days of camp where you need something to 16 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: break up the monotony. And I think that the Orange 17 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 1: and Brown scrimmage was around the orangine Brown practice was 18 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: a good way to break up that monotony. And then 19 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: it was right back to the slog this week and 20 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: they've had just two of the hottest days of practice, 21 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: you know. Fortunately Wednesdays was inside, but I think that 22 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: just made things even hotter for the players. It made 23 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 1: things nicer for me. I was standing by the gate, 24 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: I had a nice breeze going. It was the most 25 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: comfortable day that I got to watch practice. But then 26 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: I saw Drew, our video guy. He looked like he 27 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: just ran a marathon after filming that practice because he 28 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: didn't have that that kind of luxury. So I I 29 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: can only imagine what it was like for the players 30 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: who it looked like. For both of these practices, the 31 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: tempo was really up, and I think that they're slowly 32 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: escalating things to to get ready for for the rigors 33 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: of this this preseason game coming up. And I'll say 34 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: today or Wednesday at least, that I saw the most 35 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: Kyle l Letta that I've seen in a practice. And 36 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: I think that's you know, when you when your head 37 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: coach announces that the QB one will not be playing 38 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: in the preseason game, that only makes you gotta get 39 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: QB three ready. Uh, And so you're expecting a lot 40 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: of case Keenum and Kyle Aletta on the field. But 41 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: I thought, for uh, the Brons have an indoor facility 42 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: that is not a full field. Uh that short field 43 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: has been condensed even further with the addition of more 44 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: of the weight room equipment. But they ran a very 45 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: organized streamline practice today that it looked like it ran 46 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,959 Speaker 1: as seamless as as all these other practice having. I 47 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: thought that was encouraging to see as well. And it's 48 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 1: a credit. You know, Jim Donovan and I were talking 49 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: on Cleveland Brown's Daily about this where you know, in 50 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: past years when you've had to move indoors, not exactly 51 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 1: the crisp Chris crispness, cleanness. The whole practice is kind 52 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: of a little disjointed. I feel like Kevin Stefanski was 53 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: waiting for a day like this. He's been preparing for 54 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: a day like this. They moved right inside and it 55 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 1: was a good day of work. It was a hot 56 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: day of work, but it was a good day of work. 57 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: I mean, think of the massive adjustment you have to 58 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: make just can siting the layout of the fields here. 59 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: I mean, it's what you've got, like of the space 60 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: that you normally have. It's not like you're losing just 61 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: one field, You're losing like two and a half. I 62 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: would say that you usually have access to and the 63 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: guys seem to adjust very nicely to it. It just 64 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: puts a lot more. I almost like it a little 65 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: bit more because you don't have stuff going on on 66 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: all other fields during team drills, So it's almost like 67 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: a more game like atmosphere a little bit because it's 68 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: the eleven and eleven and that's all you got room for, 69 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,839 Speaker 1: so it kind of heightens the intensity a little bit. 70 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 1: I will say from this past past two days especially, 71 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: I've seen a lot from the tight ends. I mean 72 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: they're getting tons of balls thrown their way. And then 73 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: Wednesday's practicing and are particular a lot of balls caught 74 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,119 Speaker 1: by running backs. I saw Nick Chubb is looking really 75 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: good running routes. Kareem Hunt had again is very smooth, 76 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: and that Ernest Johnson feels comfortable with that Dimitrich Felton's 77 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: catching a lot of passes. I mean this was a 78 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: day where I I didn't see many wide receivers catch 79 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: passing team drills, but it was all tight ends and 80 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 1: running backs and so they're finding ways to move the 81 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: ball no matter who's getting it well. And let's talk 82 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: about de Ernest Johnson and de Maitrick Felton, two guys 83 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: that we've seen on the field together over the past 84 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: couple of days. The earnest in the backfield felt wide 85 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: receiver a little bit more. Yeah, and you wonder if 86 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: that's the just the direction of his overall career trek 87 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 1: trajectory or the more likely answer is that you've got 88 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 1: a bunch of a handful of injuries at wide receiver. Mean, 89 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: you start with O'Dell is not working into team drills, 90 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 1: Jarvis is getting rest days every now and then. Anthony 91 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: Schwartz is out with a hamstring, Alexander Hollins is out 92 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: with the hamstring as well. You only have so many 93 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: bodies for for at that position. But I think this 94 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 1: is a good opportunity for him. I think he's showing 95 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: the versatility, looks really comfortable out there. The only thing 96 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: that stands out is he's wearing number twenty five and 97 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: playing wide receiver. I mean, that's the That's the one 98 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: thing that stands out to me. I think he looks 99 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: comfortable at he he finds a good way to get 100 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: separation from from guys. It just it looks natural to him. 101 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: It reminds me of an even maybe he wasn't as 102 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: good as a running back in college as Duke Johnson was, 103 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: but he's fitting in seamlessly as like a Duke Johnson 104 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: did as as a wide receiver. And I think that 105 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,919 Speaker 1: that's that's something that's good to see. And I I 106 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: think we went into this thinking it's an either or 107 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: with the Ernest Johnson and Demitia Felton, and I'm not 108 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: quite sure it's it's not anymore. And that's where I 109 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: was going next, because I think the Ernest Johnson's had 110 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,799 Speaker 1: himself a nice camp and he's done some good things 111 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: on special teams as well. That leads you to believe 112 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: that you might have to find a way to keep 113 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: all four running backs going into the season here. Yeah, 114 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: and I think we probably have. I don't know if 115 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: we have some orange colored glasses on and we say this, 116 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: but I think the Ernest Johnson is someone, if he 117 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:40,359 Speaker 1: were anywhere else, would probably be a rotation in the 118 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: rotation back on a team. I mean, he could be 119 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: your third down back if you didn't have Nick Chubb 120 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 1: and Kareem Hunt. I mean this is someone that clearly 121 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: has some talent, has been here for three three years now, uh, 122 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,559 Speaker 1: And I think He's performed well anytime he's been asked 123 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: to do it, and he missed the first couple of 124 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: days of camp, but he came right back in and 125 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: it is fitting nicely. I'd expect to see a lot 126 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: of him on Saturday against the jack Wars. So a 127 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: lot of guys getting some day's offense and well deserved 128 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: rest over the over the past week leading up to 129 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: this Jacks in the game. Anthony Walker Jr. Though Returning 130 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: a very very good side if you are the Cleveland Browns. Yeah, 131 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: and he did some working team team on Wednesday as well, 132 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: so he's not just back in individuals, he's doing some 133 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: some team stuff as well. But still seeing a lot 134 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: more Jacob Phillips there as well. I mean, we'll see 135 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: where he comes in at the preseason. I mean, I 136 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: think you look at Saturday and you're thinking, probably, you know, 137 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: let's take it easy on on on such an important 138 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: piece of defense. But he's one of those pieces you 139 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 1: want to get out there. And I'm looking now ahead 140 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: to next Monday or Tuesday, I guess would be the 141 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: first day back. Is what are you gonna have defensively 142 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: when the Giants come here? You've got you know you've 143 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: got Denzel Award, Myles Garrett off to the side, Gadavian Clowne, 144 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 1: He's had some rest days here as well. It'll be 145 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: interest to see if you can maybe get a Ronnie 146 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: Harrison back. Where where's Grant delping at And there's a 147 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: lot of those guys. If you can get them back 148 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 1: for next week, I think that would be huge for 149 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: for getting ready for the season. Yeah, I don't think 150 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: there's any question. I think next week you really you 151 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: need to see what you have. And I know it's 152 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: an unofficial depth chart that the team has to put 153 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: out every week and it's preseason and who knows, but 154 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: it will be interesting to see after this Jacksonville game, 155 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: who's were the ones, who's with the twos? Because you're 156 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: gonna go up against the Giants ones, and you're gonna 157 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: go up against the You're gonna go up against another 158 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: team and their top players on Thursday, on Friday and 159 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: probably on Sunday. Yeah, I mean, and we know we 160 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: know the Giants practice mentality. They like to they like 161 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: to practice hard, and I think that I've been buying 162 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: my Giant stock going into this season. I think they're 163 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: they're a real an FC East contender. Uh so this 164 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: is gonna be a good challenge. And I and again, 165 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: I'll say it over and over again. So happy that finally, 166 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: after all these years, joint practices are coming to the 167 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: Cross Country Mortgage Campus. And I think that it's long 168 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: overdue after so many years of having to go to 169 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: someone else's place when you know, we don't like in August. 170 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: Who this week has been Tampa in August and that 171 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: it's not something I enjoy, especially with the thunderstorms to 172 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: come out of nowhere. Yeah, well the best part of 173 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: Tampa in August was you were done by twelve o'clock, 174 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: not starting it too. So that's the deal there, all right. 175 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski said he's gonna give some of his other 176 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: assistants other than a VP, the chance to call some 177 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: plays here in these three preseason games. Could be a sittional, situational, 178 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: could be a possession, could be a half, could be 179 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: a quarter designed to help them as coaches, and I 180 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: think it's awesome to see. I really wish that we 181 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: would kind of have an idea who might be calling 182 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: plays and when they might be calling them. We're not 183 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: going to know obviously, to l after the fact, if 184 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,199 Speaker 1: at all. But I think it's a great job again 185 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: by coach Stefanski continuing on the other side of things 186 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 1: to develop his guys so that ultimately they move up 187 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: and they have a chance to succeed uh if not 188 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: as a coordinator with the team elsewhere. Yeah, And I 189 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 1: think it it speaks from experience for Kevin Stefanski, who 190 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: has he told us, you know, he called his first 191 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 1: play in the NFL when it really mattered. He didn't 192 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: even get a preseason He called his actual first play 193 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: in the NFL in a regular season game, which is 194 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: just crazy to think, I mean, to not even have 195 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: a dry run at it. And I think that this again, 196 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: he's been all about developing his coaches all throughout the 197 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,319 Speaker 1: off season. I think that that's been a huge thing 198 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: for him, the personal development aspect of it, because I 199 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: think when when Kevin Stefanski looks at his own resume 200 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 1: and looks at these other guys on his staff, I mean, 201 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: Stefanski's resume is almost impossible for a coach in modern 202 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: day NFL to match, to be with a team as 203 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: long as he was for that long and continue to 204 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: kind of move up. That just doesn't happen much in 205 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,839 Speaker 1: the NFL, and I think he knows that for these 206 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: guy has to get opportunities, you you probably have to 207 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: to go and and kind of work your way up 208 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: the ladder. And I think this is stuff that can 209 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: impress because a lot of offensive coordinators that get hired 210 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: in the NFL have never called place. But this is 211 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: like a step in the door. You can point to 212 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: your your body of work that that happened, you know, 213 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: you can point to what how you handle that situation, 214 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: what you learned from it. That's something that gives you 215 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: a leg up on some of the competition when you're 216 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 1: inter being for these jobs. And I think Stefanski realizes that, 217 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 1: and that's it'll be good. See. I I just wonderfu 218 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,199 Speaker 1: we'll get a postgame breakdown of all right, this quarter 219 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: was this guy? This guy was. I don't know if 220 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: we're gonna get that. I I think that that we're 221 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,319 Speaker 1: just gonna have to really pay attention to the sidelines. Yeah, 222 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: or when the assistant coaches and the position guys end 223 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: up talking throughout training camp, as has been a couple 224 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: of times already here in two thousand and twenty one, 225 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: that's a look at what's happened since the Orange and 226 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 1: Brown practice. It's been a busy week at the Cross 227 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 1: Country Mortgage campus, and Gribble and I had a chance 228 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: to sit down with second year corner A. J. Green 229 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: the Third. Remember a guy that a year ago was 230 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: in demand by just about every team in the National 231 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: Football League. He chose to come here, sign with the Browns, 232 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: made the roster, was a practice squad guy for most 233 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,319 Speaker 1: of the year, got some action, got some reps. More importantly, 234 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: got that first season under his belt, and now he's 235 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: vying for a spot on the full time fifty three 236 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: man roster. He had a chance to talk to us 237 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: about that year one to year to transition. Have a 238 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: watch and have a listen, and here on the best 239 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: podcast available Training camp addition, live from the Cross Country 240 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: Mortgage Campus, Jason Gibbs Andrew Grevel. Happy to be joined 241 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: by A. J. Green the Third and no longer a rookie, 242 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: my friend. Year two of the twenty of your career 243 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: and into the one season. We're about two weeks into camp. 244 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: How are things going for you here so far? Um, 245 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: so far camp has been going good. Just trying to 246 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: stay on top of it. Trying to stay healthy. UM, 247 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,559 Speaker 1: just trying to fill in and UH just kind of 248 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: beat there when my prisoners is needed with guys like 249 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,959 Speaker 1: Denzel taking less breaths right now and things like that. 250 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: So I'm trying to step up to the plate. A J. 251 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: What is it like out there when when some guys 252 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: are signed fined and all of a sudden you're with 253 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: the second or even sometimes first group. How does that 254 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 1: affect your mindset when you go into a practice. Um, 255 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 1: I know we have a standard in our dB room 256 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: and we want to hold everyone to the standards. So 257 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: whether or not UM Denzel out there or it's myself, 258 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: we all know we got to do and go out there. 259 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: It's been it's a deep defensive back room. A lot 260 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: of new faces though in that defensive back room. How 261 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: has everything been going in terms of everybody getting up 262 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: to speed and being on the same page. Um, everything 263 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: has been going good so far. Like with the additional 264 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: uh J three and uh T Hill, I mean those 265 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: guys just came in jail perfectly, UM up to speed 266 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 1: on the play a book and uh, we're just kind 267 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: of helping each other out and a J. It seemed 268 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,959 Speaker 1: like when when camp got started. Especially you, you came 269 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,319 Speaker 1: in with kind of a it looks like a sense 270 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: of confidence. You look like you've been there before. How 271 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 1: much different is it when you are in year two 272 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: and you you seem like you know where you're going 273 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: and everything's on the same page. Um, I mean I 274 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: just kind of came in. Um just no, I had 275 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: to earn my spot. Um, nothing's gonna be easy. UM, 276 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 1: nothing's gonna be given. I gotta go out there and 277 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 1: work hard every day. So, UM, I kind of just 278 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: know I could play the position. I know what I'm 279 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: capable of. So I just carried that on my shoulder. 280 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: A J. Green the third joining us cornerback for your 281 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,599 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns, your two. Now he's a veteran, and I 282 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: would have to think, A J. It was nice in 283 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: the off season to actually get a little bit of downtime. 284 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: When you're going from college to the pro ranks, there's 285 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: not really a day off, even in COVID. You've got interviews, 286 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: you got workout, so all that rolled into one. It 287 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: had to be nice to catch your breath a little bit, 288 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: it right, Yeah, The NFL off season is totally different 289 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: from the college off season. It's actually like you're kind 290 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: of off. Everything is on you. You got your own schedule, Um, 291 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: you have your own place and things like that. So 292 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: aside from uh college, just kind of just kind of 293 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: take care of your body, um, staying condition and just 294 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: constantly working and moving out. Did you tell me what 295 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: last year was like for you? I mean, it's kind 296 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: of an interesting You're a lot of time on the 297 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: practice squab, but you're called up a few times. What 298 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: what what was it like going through your one in 299 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: the NFL um going through your one? UM, I would 300 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: say it was kind of tough. Um, just I feel 301 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: like I kind of sold myself short, um, knowing I 302 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: wanted to make the team. I want to make a 303 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: fifty three, but I didn't come a short. But I 304 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: just kind of used that time and just used uh 305 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: tips from people like O'Dell or Jarvis and just kind 306 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: of just kind of just used what I had to 307 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: my advantage. So what it was watching Denzel making him 308 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: make plays, learning from Greedy whether it's off the field, 309 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: even though he wasn't playing, he just kind of still 310 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: just gave me some pointers and things like that. So 311 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: I just feel like I kind of gathered gathered everything, 312 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: you know, I kind of knew what I wanted in 313 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: year two, so I'm just trying to go out and 314 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: had the best preceson I can. Who's the player that 315 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: you learned the most from in year one? Um? And 316 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: year one UM, I would probably have to say, um, 317 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: that's the toughing. I learned a lot from a lot 318 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: of the guys, but I would probably safe from from 319 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: my aspect. I probably say to us in Dajo, just 320 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: his love and passion for the game and kind of 321 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: how he knew everything and kind of how he just 322 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: approached the game. So that's probably somebody else said, I 323 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: learned a lot. And what all did did you take 324 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: in as a member of the practice squad? I mean, 325 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: what what did you have to do weekly to get 326 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: ready and help out the team in any way way 327 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: you could? Um? I mean I was honored. UM. I 328 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: mean I had the opportunity to still be with the team, 329 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: so UM, I was grateful for that. But I was 330 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: also going against UH the one offense, so I still 331 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: got signed up acrossing Jarvis and across Odell, So I 332 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: constantly improving my game using the techniques UM that Joe 333 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: Woods and UH Howard and Lynch taught me, So I 334 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: was just using that to my advantage. You just basically 335 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: staying ready so I don't have to get ready. What 336 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: what is it like, who's the who's the toughest guy 337 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: to cover on this Browns team out of that wide 338 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: receiver room? Um? Have I have a few of my 339 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: friends back home asked this question, but I would probably say, uh, 340 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: I'd probably say it was, oh there from last year, 341 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: that was kind of like my year year in the NFL. Now, 342 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: like like that line up across now knowing who he 343 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: is and the things he's accomplished, so he like some 344 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: people you can come in You might not think that that, 345 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: but oh yeah, I feel like he was a great 346 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: competitor and uh that's probably the best player in the 347 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: line of ad How excited are you that you actually 348 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 1: get to get involved in the preseason this year. I 349 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,120 Speaker 1: know that had to be tough as an undrafted guy 350 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: last year, not having having appreciated schedule last year. Um 351 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: that that that was tough, not having to pret the 352 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 1: last year. But um, I just know that, like like 353 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: when when something like that is taken away from you 354 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,400 Speaker 1: and you're just great from the opportunity. So I'm grateful 355 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,400 Speaker 1: that we get these three preseason games, and uh, I'm 356 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:26,719 Speaker 1: just gonna go out there and just put a lot 357 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: on film and just let the chips fall where they make. A. J. Green, 358 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 1: the third our guest here, quarterback for your Cleveland Browns. 359 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: What is the biggest challenge when you have to practice 360 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: in the heat humidity that we've had here over the 361 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 1: last couple of days. I'm from I'm from Texas, so 362 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: I'm kinda used to the heat. So but probably just 363 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: staying hydrated. That's probably the biggest key. Just staying hydrated. 364 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 1: Know one, You're gonna be out there running with the 365 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: receivers every play, running to the ball every place. So 366 00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: I'll probably just say just staying hydrated. A j What Uh, 367 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 1: what's it been like to be a part of a 368 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 1: defense that has really taken on a new identity this 369 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: offseason and seeing all these new players that the team 370 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: has brought on and trying to be a part of that. Um, 371 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 1: I mean, man, man, it's great. Like it like it's 372 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: different from college. Um. In college, you know, you have 373 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: some guys that are gonna make to the league, and 374 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: he has some guys that are not. You have some 375 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: guys that are pretty good and some guys that are not. 376 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: But like when you have guys like Moles Garrett Clowning 377 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: lined up on the edge, Uh, it's crazy. Like you 378 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 1: just basically gotta go out and just do your job, 379 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 1: all right. So Jeff Howard was talking on Cleveland Brown's 380 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,120 Speaker 1: Daily earlier today about you, and he called you accountable. 381 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 1: He calls it reliable, he called you consistent. Which one 382 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: of those three do you think applies most to you? Um, 383 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,400 Speaker 1: out of out of those three, accountable, I'll probably say um. 384 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:58,919 Speaker 1: I'll probably say consistent because that's something that UM I 385 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: kind of take myself knowing that UM playing corner yet 386 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,360 Speaker 1: to death to be consistent. But also with these practice 387 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: you gotta come out. You can't just do it one day. 388 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: You gotta come out, you gotta do it the next day. 389 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 1: You gotta do it the next day. And something coach 390 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 1: defense you say like it's the dog days the camp. 391 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,640 Speaker 1: So now camp people are feeling sore, hurt, you still 392 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 1: got to go out there and make plays. So I'll 393 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: probably say consistency. Hey, j when you go into a 394 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: preseason game, do you do much game planning? Prepper? You're 395 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 1: just going out there and doing what you do in 396 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 1: practice every day. How how does the preparation go for 397 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: a game like this? Um, we we are doing some 398 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 1: game planning prep, but UM, they're kind of just saying, 399 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,359 Speaker 1: just just go out there and ball. Uh, just treat 400 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: it like a practice. Do what you've been doing in practice, 401 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:40,919 Speaker 1: do what you've been taught. If you go out there 402 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,919 Speaker 1: and ball, you can play. So that that's kind of 403 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: my approach to it. Just go out there. Uh. Joe 404 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: would get the call in I get the call, and UM, 405 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 1: I play with company a J. We appreciate the time. 406 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: We know, Uh, the day is not done yet on 407 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 1: the meetings and uh and a few more things before 408 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 1: Thursday rolls around and then another day closer to game 409 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: day and game number one of the preseason against Jacksonville. 410 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,120 Speaker 1: Wish you all the best of luck over the next 411 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 1: few weeks and and we look forward to covering you 412 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: and watching you out on the field here as we 413 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 1: get closer to September twelve and that game one in 414 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: Kansas City. Appreciate the time, no problem, Thank you for 415 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,199 Speaker 1: having Thanks to A. J. Green the Third for his time. Gribbs, 416 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: a guy that I think we're gonna see quite a 417 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 1: lot from over the next three preseason football games and 418 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: one of many that we're gonna see as I think 419 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 1: the veterans and some of the starters get a little 420 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: more time off. Yeah. I mean we always talk about 421 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 1: this roster a lot of it being locked in and 422 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: and a j is in one of the areas that 423 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 1: there is a competition I think where a lot of 424 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 1: those outside corners have been playing really well that are 425 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: vuying for maybe one potential spot on this roster. And 426 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: I think he AJS probably got a little bit a 427 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: chip on his shoulder for how last year unfolded. I 428 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,199 Speaker 1: think he probably came in expecting to make make a 429 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 1: good run to fifty three. He got a little taste 430 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: of the NFL coming up for three games last year, 431 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 1: and I think that he's he's he's a guy that's 432 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 1: certainly standing out, and I think that he can carry 433 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: that into a preseason game where I think this is 434 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: a guy that could have been benefited from having a 435 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: preseason last year, but now he gets to benefited from 436 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: this year. Yeah. And again, what it will ultimately come 437 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,880 Speaker 1: down to is not only what you do on defense, 438 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 1: but it will come down to what you are able 439 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 1: to do on special teams for Mike Preferring company. So 440 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: that's something to watch as that unfolds. Other than no injuries, 441 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 1: what are you most looking forward to seeing Saturday night 442 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. I'll be watching the rookies. I think that 443 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: they're going to get a big opportunity to get a 444 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: lot of playing time. I think someone like a Jeremiah Whoso, Cormo, 445 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 1: Greg Newsom, James Hudson is probably gonna get a lot 446 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: of run out there at at left tackle. So, uh, 447 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: this is spotlight on the rookies. Once we heard the 448 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: Baker's not playing, you start to to deduce who else 449 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: might not be playing, and we'll see about that in 450 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: the coming days. But uh, this, this to me is 451 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 1: is another rookie spotlight moment for for these guys to 452 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,199 Speaker 1: make an impression in their first NFL atmosphere. Yeah, I 453 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be interesting to see who does indeed play, 454 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: how much they play. You said it, I think the 455 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: rookie is gonna be playing. I think James Hudson could 456 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,400 Speaker 1: be one of those guys that's looking for a breather 457 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: in the third quarter and they just tell them, Nope, 458 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,479 Speaker 1: you're good, stay out there. Play. You're gonna figure it out. 459 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 1: The only way you're gonna get better is to keep 460 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 1: getting reps. So I think a lot of the rookies 461 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: may may run into that Saturday night down in Jacksonville. 462 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: Looking forward to it and Gribble will be on the 463 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 1: sideline on the University Hospitals Cleveland Browns Radio Network for 464 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: the game.
