1 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: We've tried to be very smart about how you put 2 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 1: the plan together. Obviously had an offseason this year, so 3 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 1: that was different. But feel like the guys have a 4 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: quite understanding of what we're doing on all three sides 5 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,040 Speaker 1: of the ball. Now's the time to compete. This is 6 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 1: the Coach Kevin Stefanski Show Tonight.

It's the 15 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski Show all along the University Hospitals Cleveland Browns 16 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: Radio Network. And we'd love to be talking about a 17 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,839 Speaker 1: win here Gerard, but unfortunately, for the fourth straight time, 18 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: the Browns come up short. They lose to the Ravens 19 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 1: twenty three to twenty last week and before we move 20 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,759 Speaker 1: on to the Bengals and obviously some news about that 21 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: team today. What do you take away from the Browns 22 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: loss in a game in which they played some of 23 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: their best ball of the year and yet still lost 24 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: to a Ravens team that now is a top the 25 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: a f C North. Exactly. And that's the frustrating part, Nathan, 26 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: when you have a situation where you see signs of 27 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: complimentary football, you see signs of the defense can't shut 28 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: down the run. You see signs of the defense can 29 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: slow down one of the best tight ends in the 30 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: National Football League, and Andrew and then you stop Lamar 31 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: Jackson for the most part. But at the end of 32 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: the day, it's not a one series, it's not a 33 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 1: one phase, it's not a one unit. Game. Is three 34 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: phases to play football. You have special teams and you 35 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 1: have offense. Obviously, and the mishaps that a third on 36 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: the special team side of the ball played a major 37 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: factor in this, as well as some mistakes on the 38 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: offensive side with the fumbles. So, really, what I felt, 39 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,399 Speaker 1: and I agree with you, it was a situation where 40 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: I felt that was the closest we've seen this football 41 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 1: team playing complimary football. Eliminate the mistakes, and you're gonna 42 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: win football games. We say, what play clean football. So 43 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: in a situation like that, if you play cleon football, 44 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna win the game. You're exactly right. And I mean, 45 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 1: the crazy thing about this is if I had told 46 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: you that Lamar Jackson would be under two hundred total 47 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: yards of offense, that Mark Andrews would not have a 48 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: catch in this game, that we would hold them to 49 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: three point six yards to carry, that there they would 50 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 1: have two plays of more than twenty yards in the game, 51 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: and that Knick Chuff would run for rards and six yards, 52 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 1: and that Cooper People's Jones and Joke Wu all over 53 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: seventy the Jacoby procent would go twenty two of twenty 54 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: seven for two six yards, no interceptions. You'd say we 55 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: won probably big, and we did not. And part of 56 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: it you mentioned it's a three phase game and special 57 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: teams plays a big role obviously in these games. And 58 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 1: you look at we had one turnover. They had one turnover. 59 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: Our turnover led to a short field. It led directly 60 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: to seven points. Their turnover led to a long field. 61 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: We got it in the red zone. We did not 62 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: yield any points for us. Special teams came in big. 63 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: They had two possessions where they didn't have to go 64 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: more than thirty yards to get points six of them. 65 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: That's thirteen points. On short fields. We needed to go 66 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: more than fifty yards for all twenty of our points. 67 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: And it feels like in a game in which the 68 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: offense did enough, the defense did enough. This was one 69 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: of where special teams in the flipping of the field 70 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: giving up that big return, and too often I think 71 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: that's been the case. I think there are three games 72 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: you could put a lot on the special teams unit, right, 73 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: You certainly could put the onus on this pussion. Teams 74 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: has been a major contributor in the loss. Now, obviously 75 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: it's a team effort, but when you have a situation 76 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: where you're giving up a bunt return, and from a 77 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: psychological standpoint, Nathan, what it does to a football team 78 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,839 Speaker 1: in that it just puts this bad taste in your mouth. 79 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: If you were like, oh Lord, here we go again. 80 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: And then when you have a field goal block and 81 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: what that represents. That granted that was at the end 82 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: of the game, and the NFL, by the way and 83 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 1: said that no, we did not fall start thanks a 84 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: little what's that a little too late? Thanks for nothing. Yeah, 85 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: but but the end of the day, yes, special teams 86 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: played a major part in what took place in this 87 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: football game. But also I go back to situational football, 88 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 1: something that we need to do em beared job of 89 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: cleaning up. You have a situation, think about that long 90 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: punt return. You have back to back plays where Queen 91 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: is basically doing what we call shooting the gaps. He 92 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,359 Speaker 1: shoots the gaps right there. What do we need to do. 93 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: We need to do a chest in the sense that 94 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: now let's go for hard account, let's take advantage of 95 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: that because basically those two plays that he had consecutively 96 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: put us pinned against the end zone and now we're 97 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: kicking on the one suppression with that, and then you 98 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: have a situation where the field from a cover standpoint 99 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: is compressed. You have to obviously maintain your laying integrity, 100 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 1: and we didn't do those things and it led to 101 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: that long return. These are easy fixable things, and that's 102 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: the part that's frustrating about it is that all these 103 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: scenes are basics of football, one on one on how 104 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: you cover a punt. And that's the thing about all 105 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: these losses is that it's been easy, fixable things. And 106 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: you know, early in the season, you'd say the defense 107 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: was not performing at the level we expected, the offense 108 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: was certainly exceeding, and then now you have a game 109 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: where you kind of put it all together, and I 110 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: thought the defense did a phenomenal job in that one 111 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: against the Baltimore Ravens. And you get let down on 112 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 1: special teams. Your turnover is more costly than their turnover, 113 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,919 Speaker 1: and and it's just this team has got to find 114 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: a way to win these games. We can beat anybody, 115 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: and clearly we can lose to anybody, and often it 116 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: comes down to us and what we do, and unfortunately 117 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 1: we done the little things wrong too often. Now we 118 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: sit at two and five and we're taken on in 119 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: this week now a Bengals team that's won four of 120 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: their last five games, and probably, like us, feels like 121 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: they should be better. All three of their losses came 122 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: on last second walk off field goals, and if those 123 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: are missing, they're obviously doing better. They are an elite offense, 124 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: although they took a little bit of a hit there. 125 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 1: But how do you, as a team in a locker 126 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: room come together and figure out how to win. And 127 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: I think that that's that's what we're missing right now. 128 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: We just don't know how to win when it's winning 129 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: time or it's it's really simple. It starts in practice 130 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: first and foremost. Your practice should be more challenging to 131 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: a degree to your actual playing on a game day. 132 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 1: So when you get to a game day, it should 133 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: feel like, Okay, I experienced this in practice. I know 134 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: what to do. I know what the pressure looks like. 135 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: I understand what it's like to be fatigued and tired 136 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: and give to that stress point to where I want 137 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: to make a mistake, but I'm not gonna make a mistake, 138 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: and not that you want to make a stake per 139 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 1: se more solone the lines of I'm at that place 140 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: physically where I'm exhausted, but that's where you build upon 141 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: much did in practice, so you don't get to that 142 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: place and you put that pressure on you so when 143 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 1: you're actually in the game, you don't collapse under the 144 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: pressure of what's taking place. From a situational football standpoint, 145 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,679 Speaker 1: it starts there in practice and obviously the preparation, because 146 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: we said it earlier, the things that we're screwing up 147 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: on and the mistakes that keep on taking place are 148 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: things that you can discover through film study and once again, 149 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: yes I'm talking practice, and some of it is just 150 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: mental doing your job. You know, if you're on the 151 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: outside and punt return, you can't let him go outside 152 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: of you. And they picked up twenty five yards at 153 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: this call. Contained forced him back where You've got to help, 154 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: you know that. And so those little things have reared 155 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: their ugly head. So now we turned the page. The 156 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: Browns in a must win situation against the Bengals, you've 157 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: got to have it on Monday Night football Halloween at 158 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: First Energy Stadium. We just found out while this is 159 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: still gonna be a very difficult task that it got, 160 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: we'll call it a little bit easier today. Jamaar Chase, 161 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: the star wide receiver of the Bengals, who currently in 162 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: this season, has forty seven catches, six d and five 163 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: arts at six most in the NFL, six touchdowns, and 164 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: he's coming off of back to back games with more 165 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: than a hundred and thirty yards and two touchdowns. He 166 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: is out dealing with a hip injury that will sideline 167 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: in for four to six weeks. According to Adam schefter. 168 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: Now they still have Tee Higgins, they still have Tyler Boy, 169 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: both of them who have four hundred and fifty five 170 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: yards receiving this year. But that's a big blow losing 171 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: Jamaar Chase. It certainly is. And our mentality cannot be 172 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: who we called a break. Our mentality has to be 173 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: I wish he was here. And why I say, now, 174 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: this guy sitting right next to me, great Newsom wishes 175 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: Jamaar Chase was playing, and he wanted because you want 176 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: to have a situation where you're going up against the best. 177 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: And obviously you're gonna see him again at some point 178 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 1: in the latter part of the season, because we played 179 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: them late and at the end of the season. But 180 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: the main point what I'm trying to say is it's 181 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: your attitude. And if your attitude is, oh, we got 182 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: a break here, that tells you right there, you don't 183 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 1: have the right attitude mentality, not for the player, And 184 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: I don't even think it's for us to say, because 185 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: it might influence them. With that being said, yes, they're 186 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: not gonna be as dynamic when you lose a guy 187 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: like that. I'm gonna be real listing about it. Of course, 188 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: you're not gonna be the guy as one of the 189 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 1: best receivers in the National Football League. You gotta call 190 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: it what's his merd? So, yes, they're gonna lose a 191 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: key component to their offensive prediction by not having out 192 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: on football field. So I thought still has to be though. 193 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 1: I don't care who you put out there, being Higgins, 194 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: be a Boy, or whoever else you decide to employ 195 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 1: on that particular Monday night, We're going to give you 196 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,079 Speaker 1: the business there. We've got to. And this is an 197 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 1: offense that comes in red hot. Since a Week three, 198 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: seven points a game six in the NFL. Three yards 199 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: passing second in the NFL, their second in the NFL 200 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: on third downs, number one in quarterback rating at a 201 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: hundred seventeen point five Burrow the last two weeks alone 202 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: eighty percent completion, seven eighty one yards, six touchdowns and 203 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: a hundred thirty three rating. He's been spectacular. But what's interesting, Gerard, 204 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 1: and here's what I want to get your kind of 205 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: take on, is they are playing eleven personnel, that's three 206 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: wide receivers nine eight percent of the time since Week 207 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: five percent at a time they're in shotgun eighty eight 208 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: percent at the time, they're just throwing. They're not even 209 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: doing play action of their passes. There's just straight drop back. 210 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,959 Speaker 1: But when they play eleven, it's Chase, it's Higgins, it's Boyd. 211 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: You look at their roster and you say, okay, those 212 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: are the top three. They're all top twenty in the league. 213 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 1: And receiving the only person who's gotta catch. Mike Thomas 214 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: has two catches for thirty eight yards this season. That's it. 215 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: So how do they keep Are they gonna keep playing 216 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: eleven personnel? Somebody's just gonna step up and be Jamar Chase. 217 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: So that's good for you, Right, Well, they're not gonna 218 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: vacate playing eleven personnel because their mindset now is it's working. 219 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: And yes, you're gonna lose one key, key, key component 220 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,559 Speaker 1: in Chase as a receiver. But the other part to it, Nathan, 221 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: is if you don't if you've got in a rhythm 222 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: and you're and and it's all about rhythm. Now, this 223 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: office is in sync, is doing what it was to do. 224 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 1: From a production standpoint, Burrow is now starting to feel comfortable. 225 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: The last thing you want to do is all of 226 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: a sudden say okay, well let's go to twelve personnel. Well, 227 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: let's go to Twitter in the league season. And on 228 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: top of that with him is being in the shotgun 229 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: is as much and the thing I wish you would 230 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: have brought to us and you might have this information. 231 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: So I'll ask you right now, how long does he 232 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: hold onto the football? Is it a quick release situations? 233 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:06,959 Speaker 1: Both because when they take shots, he holds on to 234 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: put that majority of time that he gets the ball 235 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: out quick. And that's how they're trying to avoid sex. 236 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,559 Speaker 1: Because they give up thirteen sacks the first two weeks, 237 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: they've allowed only eleven in the last four games. So 238 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:21,319 Speaker 1: that's yes, exactly, So they're doing that for that reason. 239 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: And another part is they are trying to mix mixing 240 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 1: in there, if you will. But it's not nowhere near 241 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 1: as dominari as it was in the past, but last 242 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 1: year compared to stats and what he did from a 243 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: running game standpoint, and Peran is still using him and 244 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: in the stream game as well, So they say they're 245 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: very obviously one of the more productive offices and best 246 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: offices in the National Football League, and losing Chase is 247 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: gonna have a obviously a dint in the production. But 248 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: what I expect and this is every week if you 249 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 1: get penetration. And for some reason, we played the Ravens 250 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,839 Speaker 1: and we played the Bengals extremely well. We were literally 251 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: built to beat them on the defense, society the So 252 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 1: what we do is take advantage of fact. What do 253 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: we have two big book ins and they're not running 254 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: the football. Now here's the twist. Will they flip the 255 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: script because they have watched the Falcons game, they have 256 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: watched the Charges the Charges games, and they watched the 257 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: Patriots And obviously we did a much better job last week. 258 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 1: So that might be like, no, I'm not sure him. 259 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:18,839 Speaker 1: Maybe we should just stick to what we did a 260 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: better job against the Patriots. Joe Mixing this year everging 261 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: just three point three yards that carry draw on lowis 262 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: of his career coming off a season the last year 263 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: you mentioned un total yards, six team touchdowns. This is 264 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: a good team. There are number eleven in total offense, 265 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: number eleven in total defense, and that's what two down offense, 266 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: very down, number eight scoring offense, number seven scoring defense. 267 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: And maybe we're not talking about their defense enough. It's 268 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: led by Trey Hendrickson, m Hubbard upfront. They've got good 269 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: guys On the back end, Von Bell is having a 270 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: great year four turnovers at his hand. They got Jesse Bates, 271 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: Shadow A Woozier and Eli Apple. At the corners have 272 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: got a great linebacker and Logan Wilson who has seven 273 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: picks since he's coming to the league, the most of 274 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: any linebacker. And they haven't allowed a single tough down 275 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: in the second half yet this year, the only team 276 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: in the NFL to be able to do that. So 277 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: it's a full day offensively and defensively. But you're right, 278 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: we do play them very well. Joe Burrow oh and 279 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: three against the Browns, who have won four straight against 280 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: the Bengals. And here's the other part to Nathan with this. 281 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: When you have it when a team, this is an 282 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,679 Speaker 1: advantage for his psychologically. When you're a situation where you've 283 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: beat the team multiple times, there is something to that. 284 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 1: Why can't we get over this hump? And one of 285 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: the things that you're hoping will take place is that 286 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: Burrow will press because he has something to prove, and 287 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: then in the process of doing that, that mistake happens. 288 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: But here's a theme, if anything we learned this season, 289 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 1: one quarter two quarters is not enough it's gonna have 290 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: to be four fortras of football because best believed, they 291 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: are well aware. And if i'm their head coach Taylor, 292 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: I am showing you what happened last year when Denzel 293 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: war got that interception pick six opened the game and 294 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 1: that was the rest was history. I'm showing that to 295 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 1: let you know that these guys have our number. Let's 296 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: put it on them quick, fasten in a hurry and 297 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 1: see if they shifted down. So don't be surprised if 298 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 1: you see them from the get go coming out to gave, 299 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 1: being very explosive, being very aggressive, and how they go 300 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: about attacking us. I think they're gonna be But they've 301 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: lost their biggest playmaker in Jamaar Chase. But you can't 302 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: sleep on Tee Higgins so far this year, four or 303 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,239 Speaker 1: fifty five yards fourteen point seven to catch, two touchdowns. 304 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd as well, he's got four hundred fifty five 305 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: yards of his own fifteen point seven, a career high 306 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: per catch, leading the team, and three touchdowns. He had 307 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: a hundred fifty five yards last week and a sixty 308 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: yard touchdown against the Falcons. It's an explosive offense. It's 309 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: kind of an underrated, no name defense. Hendrickson has been 310 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: to the Pro Bowl, but that's really it in terms 311 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: of guys on their roster on the defense. But they 312 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: play good sound football. They don't make mistakes, they don't 313 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: give up big plays, and they make you really work 314 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: to get the ball down the field. It's gonna be 315 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: a big test for the Browns gerade, and it's one 316 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: that we feel they're up to the task. They're gonna 317 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: have to have it. You need it right now. The 318 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: Bengals oh and two the division. The Bengals feel like 319 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: they need to get to one and two in the division. 320 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: They have to have it as well.

Welcome back to 338 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: the Kevin step Fan Sky Show live from Panini's in Brunswick, 339 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: all along the University Hospitals Cleveland Brown's Radio networking. Very 340 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: happy to be joined as always by the head coach 341 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: of the Cleveland Browns, Kevin Stefanski. Coach four in a row, 342 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: the wrong way? How do we get this thing turned around? Yeah? 343 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: It doesn't feel good for anybody, but I think for us, 344 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: we really do keep your head down, I mean keep 345 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: your head down and work. And that's something that we've 346 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: tried to do over and over and instill upon our team, 347 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: so nobody feels good about where you are. I promise 348 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: you that. But it doesn't. It can't interfere with your work. 349 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: It can't interfere with your day. And I think that's 350 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: so important from a players standpoint, from a coach standpoint. 351 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: We come into this building, we're here to work, and uh, 352 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: we certainly have worked to do and I think we're 353 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: committed to that. I think you saw some of the 354 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: fruits of that work against the Ravens. I mean, you 355 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: hold Mark Andrews without a catch, you hold them are 356 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: Jackson under two hundred yards of offense, you hold them 357 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: under four yards to carry as a team ja Kobe's 358 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: twenty seven. Chubb runs for about six yards to carry 359 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: a lot of things that you would say, Okay, we 360 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: won that game, right, but we didn't. So there were 361 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: good things in there. Number one, What did you take 362 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 1: away positively from that? I mean, as you know, there's 363 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: no moral victories, right, but uh, you want to build 364 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: on things. You want to play good football consistently from offense, defense, 365 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 1: special teams. That's that's the piece of of what turns 366 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: into winning is when you consistently play good sound football 367 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,679 Speaker 1: and all three sides. So are we doing it at times? 368 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 1: To your point, yes, there there's there's moments out there 369 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: where we're playing really good football. You just gotta do 370 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 1: it for sixty minutes, and you gotta do it consistently. 371 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: And you mentioned three phases, special teams, big return in 372 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 1: that one again they've are able to flip field position. 373 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: How do we kind of get that group that has 374 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 1: for stretches playing very well, but at other times that 375 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: sometimes has been the difference in these games. And I mean, 376 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 1: it's the ultimate team sport. That's what we love about 377 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: this sport. It takes all eleven on any given play. 378 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 1: It takes offense, defense, special teams. So for us, we 379 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: value how important all those moments are. Every punt is 380 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 1: as important as you know, first intent from the thirties. 381 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: So we just have to make sure that our guys 382 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: are playing clean, playing sound football. Uh, you know, when 383 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 1: you're gonna go up against some pretty good returners in 384 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 1: this in this game, So when you do, you gotta 385 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: rise of the occasion and get those guys on the ground. 386 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: All right, let's turn the page now to the Cincinnati 387 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 1: Bengals Monday night football and opportunity to get to two 388 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 1: and one in the division and and get back into 389 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 1: this thing. They're coming in hot. Joe Burrow is on 390 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: fire the last couple of weeks. They're lighting things up. 391 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: Seven one yards six touchdowns the last two games alone, 392 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 1: and they've shifted. They were a team that was trying 393 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 1: to be under center in the beginning of the season. 394 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 1: A lot of play actually, and now they're like, you 395 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: know what, We're gonna play in the shotgun or gonna 396 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,959 Speaker 1: throw the ball? Stop us. What have you seen from 397 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 1: them on tape? And why has it been so hard 398 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: to stop them? Yeah? Well, I think it's a great 399 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 1: combination of of scheme and and really good players. Uh. 400 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 1: You know, I have a ton of respect for coach 401 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,239 Speaker 1: Taylor and their staff and what they do on on 402 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: that offensive side of the ball in this case. Uh, 403 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: and then coach Low on the defensive side does a 404 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,640 Speaker 1: great job. But with their offense, it's you know, a 405 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,439 Speaker 1: very very good young quarterback who seems to be getting 406 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 1: better weekly. And then you have explosive players and you 407 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 1: have different players on that on that perimeter. You have 408 00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: you have speed, you have quickness, you have some so 409 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 1: as you have some savviness. Uh, with all those guys 410 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 1: and they can work him inside, they can work them outside. 411 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: So it's a huge challenge. It's just something every year 412 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 1: when you play the Bengals and you're going up against them, 413 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: you have to be ready to defend all those playmakers 414 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: on the perimeter and in the inside. And not to 415 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: mention Joe Mixon, I mean, a big, big, powerful running back. 416 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,640 Speaker 1: How do you kind of balance the need to get 417 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: after Joe Burrow with the need to make sure you've 418 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: got enough guys in coverage. All three their receivers in 419 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: the top twenty in receiving yards. You were talking about 420 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: Chase Higgins and Boyd You know, last year Troy Hill 421 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: had a couple of sacks on some of our Nickel 422 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: blitz is, but this year he's been elite against the blitz. 423 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 1: How do you balance that. It's always a combination. It's 424 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,120 Speaker 1: it's Russian coverage, and I don't think versus this team, 425 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: you can do one thing and say that's gonna be enough. 426 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: I think you have to be ready to pivot if 427 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 1: if it's coverage, if it's pressure, if it's different types 428 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: of coverage. I think, uh, there's just a very very 429 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 1: sound scheme where not one thing is going to take 430 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: away everything they do. So that's part of what we're 431 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: doing now, is putting a game plan together that our 432 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: guys can understand and then go execute. All Right, you 433 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 1: talked about rush and coverage. Two important pieces of that 434 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: Jadevian Clowney and the rush. Denzel Ward had to pick 435 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: six that got things started right for you last time 436 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. In coverage, we saw Clowney last week, but 437 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: not clearly at full strength. He was, you know, twenty 438 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: plus naps or so. We didn't see Denzel. Any updates 439 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 1: on those two. No updates yet. You know, I'm hopeful 440 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: that Clowney can continue to to make a push to 441 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: Monday night. And then with the concussion protocol, as everybody knows, you, 442 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: you just uh, you really have to be patient. You 443 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: have to just wait with the make sure you're following 444 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: every single rule, listening to the player um in this case. 445 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 1: So I'll get an update when when the protocol when 446 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 1: he continues to move through it, But until then, really 447 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 1: no update. Slip to the offensive side of the ball, 448 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 1: I thought an incredibly efficient game against the Baltimore Ravens. 449 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,880 Speaker 1: The one turnover obviously leads the seven points. You want 450 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: that back, but save that play. A darn good performance 451 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: Jacob twenty seven. As I mentioned earlier, how did you 452 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: see him bounce back from that New England game and 453 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: put together that kind of a performance. Yeah, I thought 454 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: he was battling out the area you mentioned. There were 455 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: some really good moments. I found some explosives in the 456 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: past game. I thought he saw it clearly. That's gonna 457 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 1: We're gonna continue to have to make plays running pass 458 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: in this game. It's it's a a sixty minute game, 459 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: and you need to make sure that you're putting some 460 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: points on the on the scoreboard. Uh And I think 461 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 1: you saw that at moments, I think what we need 462 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: to do getting back to the consistencies. We can't have 463 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: that low there. You can't go four drives where you're 464 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 1: not coming away with points. And that really was was 465 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 1: what held us back in that game. How yelled a 466 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: fill Hole doing his first start, Yeah, YELLEDA did a 467 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 1: nice job. That's a tough outing there when you're going 468 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: up against class Campbell. Uh And and I think to 469 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: Class's camp Campbell's credit, you got us that one time. Unfortunately, 470 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: but overall, as you can imagine, with the Elder. You're 471 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: gonna get effort, you're gonna get physicality, and I think 472 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: that's what we've got. It's like about the run game 473 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,199 Speaker 1: a little bit. So much has been made about how 474 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 1: much we're running the football, and you know, we lead 475 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,479 Speaker 1: the NFL and runs by running backs, so I think 476 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: they're getting it quite a bit. How do you kind 477 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: of balance that in a game flow situation keeping Nick involved? 478 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: You obviously want to give Kareem reps, but how do 479 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: you kind of go through that and then look back 480 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 1: at it and say, Okay, this here's what we want 481 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 1: to do. Ideally, Yeah, I think for us, you're always 482 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 1: just trying to be explosive runner pass it really doesn't 483 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: matter to us. And then when you're thinking about being explosive, 484 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 1: you're thinking about players. So, for instance, in this last game, 485 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: I think we throw a screen on the second play 486 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 1: to Nick. You know it's a pass, but you're thinking 487 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: about the balls going to twenty four and and you 488 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: think about some of the U R p O s 489 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: or runs you you run later in the game, and 490 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 1: you're you're thinking about players. So, uh, the players are 491 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 1: never very far away from the forefront of what we're 492 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: thinking about. In terms of touches and then that adjust. 493 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: So we we do have to continually think about personnel groupings, 494 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: who's touching the ball, because that's ultimately our our our 495 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: goal is is thinking about players in that place. Let's 496 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: like about their defense really quickly. You know, we had 497 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: some issues with Justin Houston off the edge. They've got 498 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: a great one. And Trey Hendrickson, what jumps out to 499 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,959 Speaker 1: you about the Bengals effort, motor, good players, I mean 500 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 1: really really good technical speed, power, those type of things. 501 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: But they're just gonna there all day that you're gonna 502 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: get sixty minutes worth of them. That's what we've when 503 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: we face them in the past couple of years. Hubbard 504 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: and Hendrickson. Obviously you're gonna get a ton of efforts. 505 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: You've gotta match that intensity. And then second half they've 506 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: been really good. Is there anything that sit out to 507 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: you on tape? They haven't allowed to touch down in 508 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: the second half, were over time the only team in 509 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: the league that that's true this year. By the way, 510 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: the Ravens had a lot of touched on the opening drive, 511 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: not a point we went down the field. But is 512 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: there anything that jumps out of you they're doing anything 513 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: second half or just I think what you're seeing it's 514 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: a veteran unit that they've been together, they've played together, 515 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,719 Speaker 1: they've had the same coaches, so I think they know 516 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: their adjustments. They do a nice job in disguise and 517 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: I think that comes from just being veteran players. Coach, 518 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: thank you so much for the time. Best of luck 519 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: on Monday Night against the Bengals. Appreciate Alright, We'll be 520 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: back with more The Kevin Stefanski Show Live from the 521 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 1: Panini's in Brunswick, Kevin Safanski Show on the University Hospitals 522 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: Cleveland Brown's Radio Network. I feel like I have people 523 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: in the building that can tell me the truth, and 524 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 1: I think that's really important because I don't want this 525 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: to be a place where I don't get the truth 526 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: from our guys. This is the Coach Kevin Stefanski Show. 527 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 1: You're listening to the University Hospitals Cleveland Browns Radio Network. 528 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 1: Here are your hosts, Nathan Saga and Gerard Cherry. Well. 529 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Kevin Safancie Show. We're live a 530 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: Panini's in the Brunswick presented by Bud Lights along the 531 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 1: University Hospitals Cleveland Rounds Radio Network and be sure to 532 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: stop by the free Twisted te Tailgate pregame party prior 533 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 1: to every home game.

Nathan Szagura, Gerade Cherry 539 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 1: with you and Gerard, it's time now to go around 540 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: the league trades already heating up the trade deadline next 541 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: Tuesday at four PM. I think we will see more 542 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 1: moves around the league as this goes on, but right now, 543 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 1: ranked the following five trades in terms of who helped 544 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 1: themselves the most to the least before Tuesday's trade deadline. 545 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey from the Panthers to the Niners could areas 546 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: Tony Today to the Chiefs, Robert Quinn to the Eagles, 547 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson to the Cardinals, and then James Robinson to 548 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: the Jets. So you want to go one through fire? 549 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: Just yeah, let's just give me the most impactful one 550 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: that you think they're there. I'll give you two and one. 551 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 1: I'll give you impact, and i'll give you another no impact. 552 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 1: I've got number one for impact. I'm gonna go with 553 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 1: Robert Quinn. The Eagles already had a stellar defense to 554 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,679 Speaker 1: be give us, So now you're just adding more to 555 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: the arsenals, which showed you that they understand the deepest 556 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: needs to travel. Because when you look at them in 557 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,120 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys, I still say the Cowboys have a 558 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 1: better defense. But adding Quinn to the mix, now that's 559 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: up for grabs because obviously he can get after the quarterback, 560 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 1: and you figure with Dallas's offense, they're only gonna get 561 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: better with Dak being back in the folds. So that 562 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 1: moved by the Eagles is basically saying, okay, Doak, we 563 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,880 Speaker 1: recognize that you're back under center. You're not Cooper Rush. 564 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 1: We have somebody who else is gonna help us get 565 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: after you. And now they got hassign Read, they got 566 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: Brandon Graham, and now you've got Robert Quinn who's got 567 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,239 Speaker 1: eighteen and a half sacks last year that he had 568 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 1: eighteen and a half sex he can still play, which 569 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: one don't you like I do not like to cook 570 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 1: Darius Tony at all. Really, But let me tell you why. 571 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: From a physical standpoint, obviously, it makes sense. I don't 572 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 1: want malcontents on my roster. I don't want guys. If 573 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,919 Speaker 1: you were in a situation where the New York Giants 574 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 1: are winning football games, but because you're a me guy 575 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: and you're not getting the amount of looks that you 576 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,679 Speaker 1: think you should get, and you're probably saying, well, and granted, 577 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 1: I understand Daniel Jones is not helping your your cars 578 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 1: from a click court, he hasn't really played though they've 579 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 1: been telling him he's hurt. He's saying, I'm not hurt. 580 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: But that the reason why they have to play though, 581 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,439 Speaker 1: because of that, because your attitude. So why would you 582 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: take that dude who has a bad attitude and bring 583 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 1: him onto your roster. Now, grinn, he's only a second 584 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 1: year player, so it's not like he's gonna have that 585 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,199 Speaker 1: much say in the locker room to begin with. But 586 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 1: the fact is that you're bringing the guy and basically 587 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: saying we will do anything for talent. Let me ask 588 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: you this because and and one of the things that 589 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick would do was take on guys that we're 590 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,400 Speaker 1: very talented and maybe it didn't work out somewhere else, 591 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 1: that maybe we're malcontents. And he said, our culture can 592 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 1: absorb is gonna can absorb it, and we can We're 593 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: gonna get the most out of it. More often than 594 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: not he was right. Sometimes he he was wrong, and 595 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 1: he cut bait very quickly. Don't you do you think 596 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 1: the Chiefs have a culture with Patrick Mahomes and Andy 597 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: Reid and Travis Kelson. If hey, look, we get a 598 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,439 Speaker 1: talented guy in here, we show him the way. We 599 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:24,880 Speaker 1: have a chance for this to be a home run, 600 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: and if it's not, then we'll move on a great 601 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: job and remind me of my Patriots days because I 602 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,679 Speaker 1: actually lived through that with Corey Dillon was right, was 603 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 1: put in that in that regard, right, And you're right, 604 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: if the culture is strong enough, you can shape inform 605 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 1: that mal contentent to a good citizen and actually a 606 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: productive member of your offense or your football team. So 607 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: that is fair. So yeah, it's a high possibility, but 608 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 1: again I still risk. It's certainly a risk, but I 609 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: always hold that the idea that and in Corey's case, 610 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 1: the Bengals are the Bengals. So you can only go 611 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 1: so far with what that represents back then, but you 612 00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: actually have a real but excellent point, Nathan, and I 613 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 1: would either yes, that is a distinct and highly probable 614 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,160 Speaker 1: possibility with a strong culture that you can and they're winning. 615 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,360 Speaker 1: It's just a good organization winning. Like if he went 616 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: somewhere that didn't have that background, maybe you're not as optimistic. 617 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: Maybe it works out there. Christian McCaffrey to the Niners, 618 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you this one befuddles me a little bit. Really. 619 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: I understand why they want Christian McCaffrey. I understand all 620 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 1: the things that he can do in their offense. But 621 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: when have you ever said, you know what, the Niners 622 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: aren't getting good enough play out of their running backs 623 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 1: or Kyle Shanahan team is not getting enough out of 624 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 1: their running this You never say that he makes everybody 625 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: look good. I mean, you could be a guy undrafted, 626 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 1: you could be a late re trafic, or you could 627 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 1: be a guy who just had a c L surgery. 628 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: He seems to make guys look very very good their 629 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 1: run schemes. So it's interesting, But maybe he's saying what 630 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: would happen if we had more guys unders under or 631 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: in our backfield. And again you can't say he's not that. 632 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see how it plays itself 633 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: out because as a defense, you have Debo on the 634 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: football field and you have McCaffrey the football field. That's 635 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: some match wading to happen. So I get why he 636 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: did it. And Kittle and you can you think you 637 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: got something, you got something there. Robby Anderson has a chance, 638 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: I would say to the Cardinals to maybe replace Hollywood 639 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: Brown who was playing great for them. But with DeAndre 640 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: Hopkins back, they got zach Ertz, they got ron Dale Moore. 641 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: He's probably a distant fourth at best as a target there. 642 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: And then there's and then James Robinson to the Jets 643 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: that one. It's a shame they lost Bruce Hall's year. Yes, 644 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 1: and so now he kind of replaces him, but he's 645 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 1: not Bruce Hall. But what it does is make Travis 646 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: et En now the guy in Jacksonville, which is certainly 647 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 1: gonna be fun to watch there. Um, all right, we 648 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 1: gotta well, just real quick, one more I got because 649 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: it since I do want to get drugs. Take on 650 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: this one as a as a former Patriot, What did 651 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: you make of what happened on Monday night? Mac Jones starts, 652 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 1: he throws a pick. Bailey Zappy comes in. Zappy throws 653 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: like two touchdowns in his first three passes. You think 654 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 1: it's great, and all of a sudden it falls off 655 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: a cliff. Now they go back to Mac Jones, who 656 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 1: took them to the playoffs, who was the first round pick. 657 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 1: Feels very Unbill in a way, the way that that 658 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: all was handled. He said, I told them they were 659 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 1: like no, nobody told us very odd. Bills In is 660 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: at a conflict right now, and I know the reason why, 661 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 1: because in my mind, Mac Jones represents his first love 662 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: after the breakup with Tom Brady. Sure, so what he's 663 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: doing is from a loyalty standpoint, saying, okay, let me 664 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: go back to this guy. He got me to the playoffs, 665 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: and why not see if he can let things ride. 666 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: But one thing he knows, with Mac, he's doing something 667 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: he didn't do last year, being very careless with the football. 668 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 1: And so I get the loyalty where it's coming from. 669 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 1: But that is totally uncharacteristic a Bill, because normally he'd 670 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 1: sit you down in a heartbeat if you make a 671 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: mistake or if you do anything that's he deems conduct 672 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: detrimental to the effort of winning a football game. Mac 673 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 1: Jones looks a little shell shocked to me. He does 674 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 1: not look right at all. All right, in football, making 675 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 1: a big hit after the whistle can be huge trouble. 676 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 1: No one's going to stop his critical for football players 677 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: and for gamblers, it's always set a time living before 678 00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: gambling and keep things fun.

Welcome to Panini section being with I 695 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: appreciate you, Brava's love having you on here. So let's 696 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 1: talk for a little bit about this season. How you've 697 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 1: seen it. The defense, I think turned in one of 698 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: their best performances of the year last week against the 699 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens. How are you guys feeling as a defense, 700 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 1: and how's this team feeling knowing you're better than two 701 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: and five but we are two and five. Yeah, obviously 702 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 1: we're really frustrated. Um going into the season. You know, 703 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 1: we have high goals for ourselves. Um, and to start 704 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 1: off tour and five is not in our goals. But 705 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: you know, everything is still ahead of us. I think, 706 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: like you said, I feel like the defense played our 707 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,960 Speaker 1: best games so far. So we're looking to, you know, 708 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 1: to build upon that and you know, to go Monday, 709 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 1: and I didn't get a win. And Greg, obviously on 710 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 1: Monday night, you go against a talented football team in 711 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: the Bengals, and they've said some things in the course 712 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 1: of the off season. It's specifically about you. With that 713 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 1: in mind, Man, what are you gonna bring to the table? 714 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 1: From intensity standpoint? How much are you looking forward to 715 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 1: this football game? Oh? Yeah, I would be lying if 716 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: I didn't say I didn't have his game. Circle. Um, 717 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: I want to schedule the whole season. So I'm definitely 718 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 1: super excited. But you know, but at the end of 719 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 1: the day, I'm not gonna try to be superman or 720 00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,719 Speaker 1: try to do anything that I haven't done all season. 721 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: Sam's gonna go out there and do my job. I mean, 722 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 1: you know, get a stop against these guys. Were you 723 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 1: surprised by all that? Yeah, I mean I feel like, 724 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 1: you know, when you destroy a team like that and 725 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 1: you know, hold them to their obviously the worst performance 726 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 1: they've had all the season, that's right. I feel like 727 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 1: you could show a little bit more, you know, respect, 728 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 1: but it's okay. Respects are not given. That's right. It 729 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 1: would have. I was looking forward to you and Jamaar Chase. 730 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 1: We it looks like we will not get to the 731 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 1: opportunity to see that, but certainly Tee Higgins, Taylor Boyd 732 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 1: still very talented, Joe Burrow very talented when you watch them, 733 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: and a team that basically says, look, we're gonna play 734 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: on the shotgun. We're not gonna really mess with play 735 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: action very often. We're gonna throw the ball to our 736 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 1: three receivers. Now they got too, they still have a 737 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 1: third guy out there. Obviously, Do you like that challenge 738 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 1: because you've been last week what one target they threw 739 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 1: in your area, you haven't had the ball throwing it 740 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: you much. You know, at least it's gonna because they're 741 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 1: gonna throw an all game long, you're gonna get some action. Yeah, 742 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: I'm super excited. Like you said, Um, I've been getting 743 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 1: a little frustrated, just you know, not getting my hands 744 00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 1: on the ball a lot, um, not getting too many targets. 745 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 1: But for going into this game, it's definitely respect. But 746 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: you know, me as a competitor, um trying to make plays, 747 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 1: but going into this game knowing the team is gonna 748 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 1: throw the ball, We're super excited. Um, you know, we 749 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 1: have goals in our secondary and I feel like last 750 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: last game we show you know what we can do, 751 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: um if we stay consistent. So we're looking to have 752 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 1: another consistent performance. Now. I get this question all the 753 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 1: time about you guys from a man to man standpoint 754 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 1: or zone concept, and I think you guys played all 755 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: very well for you. Do you prefer playing man to 756 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 1: men or would you rather be in zone? I prefer 757 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 1: re playing man and man for sure. UM. I think 758 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: even going into this week, like my my thing was 759 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:41,359 Speaker 1: going to be the guard jamar chasall game. Uh. So 760 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:43,400 Speaker 1: you know I'm one of those guys like I like 761 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,719 Speaker 1: going with going with players, going with the best players, um, 762 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 1: and you know, trying to eliminate it from the game. 763 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,880 Speaker 1: I feel like if you can do that, you know 764 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 1: you give it. You give your team a great chance 765 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 1: of winning. I love that you wanted that was like, hey, 766 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,879 Speaker 1: this is like, no, give me give number one at 767 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 1: Harkin's back, m j Emerson with Mike Willen's give me 768 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 1: eighty one. You have two young guys there. You guys 769 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 1: want it and you want to be tested, you want 770 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,880 Speaker 1: to be challenged, and that's a mindset that I think 771 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 1: hopefully we'll permeate the whole team because that's I think 772 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 1: what you need to succeed in this league and at 773 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,239 Speaker 1: this level to be great, which I know you want 774 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 1: to be for sure. You gotta have that mindset. Um. 775 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 1: You know, iron sharpens iron, and you know if you 776 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:25,840 Speaker 1: want to be considered the best, you gotta do it 777 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 1: against the best. Uh. So you know, I'm never afraid 778 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 1: of a challenge. UM, I'm always up for the opportunity. 779 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,360 Speaker 1: And obviously Jamar's probably won't be planning, but you know 780 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,959 Speaker 1: we still got to go against two other really really 781 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 1: really talented receivers, so we'll definitely be up for the challenge. 782 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 1: And when is practice been like? This week? Nathan had 783 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,759 Speaker 1: mentioned it record speaks for itself two and five and 784 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 1: a lot of times win in that situation, Guys get down, 785 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,359 Speaker 1: guys don't practice is hard. What has the intensity been 786 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,719 Speaker 1: like for yourself as well as your teammates. Um, you 787 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 1: know we've been super excited. UM. I feel like the 788 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 1: energy is there because at the end of the day, 789 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 1: we're still right there. Um in our division. You know 790 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,319 Speaker 1: we're in one. Obviously the Ravens are I think two 791 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: and h three and oh, but you know we're right there, 792 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 1: so you know we're gonna take it a game at 793 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 1: a time, UM, and you know all of our goals 794 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 1: that we want to get to just to get to 795 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,959 Speaker 1: the playoffs, um. And then went after that, it's still 796 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 1: ahead of us. So you know, we still got the 797 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 1: energy and I think we'll be ready to go my 798 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 1: new And it feels like you guys have cleaned everything 799 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 1: up in terms of what was going on a little 800 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,359 Speaker 1: bit early in the season. You guys have cleaned that up. 801 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,279 Speaker 1: And and I think you know last week told Mark 802 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,879 Speaker 1: Andrews got to catch. He hasn't. He has gone without 803 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,200 Speaker 1: a catching his rookie year. That was a pretty incredible 804 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,080 Speaker 1: form to give two passes of twenty yards in the 805 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 1: whole game, and they were an explosive offense. Are a 806 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,680 Speaker 1: big play offense. That's they're built on lamars under two yards. 807 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 1: You know. Is that something when you guys watch a film, 808 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 1: you're like, look, this is what we can be. We 809 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 1: just have to do it, as you mentioned, consistently and 810 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 1: then we have a chance to be special. Because last year, 811 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 1: over the second half of the season, if we scored 812 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 1: twenty points a game on offense, we win the division. 813 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 1: That's how good you guys were on defense. Now this 814 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 1: year didn't start that way, but it's still the majority 815 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,320 Speaker 1: of the season is still ahead of us, and it 816 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 1: can be that. Yeah. Now it's is super great when 817 00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,960 Speaker 1: you can, you know, have a performance like that. Obviously 818 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 1: you never want to lose, but you can learn a 819 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,880 Speaker 1: lot from your loss. Is UM and I think we showed, 820 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,719 Speaker 1: you know, going against a very explosive offense like that, 821 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 1: that we have the capability you know, of stopping any offense. 822 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 1: UM And you know, Baltimore was a great test for us, 823 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 1: and I feel like as a defense, we stepped up. 824 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 1: Uh So now we're looking to do that again against Cincinnati. 825 00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,319 Speaker 1: So they they're gonna rely on T Higgins and rely 826 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,439 Speaker 1: on Tyler Boyd, both of them at four hundred fifty 827 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,319 Speaker 1: five yards. Is you're both top twenty in the league 828 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,360 Speaker 1: in yards, but very different. What what are the challenges 829 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,439 Speaker 1: that are presented by te Higgins and I'm guessing size, 830 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 1: and then what are the challenges presented by Tyler Boyd 831 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,399 Speaker 1: who's kind of underrated that he's with Higgins and Chase, 832 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,959 Speaker 1: but the guy can flat out ball for sure. Um. 833 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,640 Speaker 1: Like with T Higgins, I feel like he's like a 834 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,400 Speaker 1: a Mike Williams type of guy. Like he's very great 835 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 1: at the catch point. Uh he has you know, very 836 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,040 Speaker 1: sneaky speed where he can get down the field. But 837 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 1: he's he's a guy you gotta really challenge at the 838 00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,880 Speaker 1: cash point. And then you know with Tyler boy like 839 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 1: I said, I think he's the best route runner out 840 00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,400 Speaker 1: of all of them, so, uh, that's definitely gonna be 841 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 1: a challenge. Um, you know, he is always that guy 842 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,479 Speaker 1: they're looking for on third down. But I think Tyler 843 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,880 Speaker 1: Boyd is amazing and also the most respectful because when 844 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 1: Jamar Chase starts saying this, was like, well wait, wait 845 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:14,719 Speaker 1: a second, expect that from a younger player. Monday night. 846 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 1: Now when I played, that was the main deal Monday night. 847 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,839 Speaker 1: Now you have Sunday night. Do you get guys still 848 00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,400 Speaker 1: fight yourself saying Monday night, we know everybody in the 849 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,560 Speaker 1: country's watching us, and that's gonna cause us to take 850 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,360 Speaker 1: our effort even to a higher place. For sure. Um, 851 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,200 Speaker 1: you know, when you have all the eyes on you, 852 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:32,239 Speaker 1: you always gonna you're obviously, everyone plays hard, but when 853 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,719 Speaker 1: you know the whole entire league's watching you, you you 854 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,759 Speaker 1: have that, you know, adding motivation. Um, you know, there's 855 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,360 Speaker 1: always Thursday night but you know, I think the prime 856 00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,799 Speaker 1: video thing, I don't know if that's you know, has 857 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 1: highly watched, so I know Monday Night is definitely that 858 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 1: game where you know everyone's gonna watch. So we're definitely 859 00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,359 Speaker 1: super excited to get the opportunity to play on Monday Night. 860 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,680 Speaker 1: I can't wait. It's gonna be awesome, stadium, out of 861 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,280 Speaker 1: the lights, Halloween. And this is the thing about Sunday 862 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,400 Speaker 1: Night too, is while it is build as you know, 863 00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,520 Speaker 1: the game of the week, if you're in the league, 864 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,279 Speaker 1: you've got your you're traveling, you might not even get 865 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,439 Speaker 1: home for it, and if you do, you're tired after. 866 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,800 Speaker 1: And what it's Monday Night.

This is 871 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:22,279 Speaker 1: a chance to kind of write that though in a 872 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 1: big game, right, and how much you're looking for to 873 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:28,840 Speaker 1: that environment, lights out, dark Halloween in front of the 874 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:32,160 Speaker 1: Browns fans.

Step up. We'll 936 00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,799 Speaker 1: start with stock up. Whose stock is up for you 937 00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,919 Speaker 1: going into this game against the Banks. It certainly has 938 00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,920 Speaker 1: to be my man, Emmerson. He has been bawling out. 939 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,880 Speaker 1: I love what he represents to happen such a young player, 940 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,319 Speaker 1: have the attitude and to mean him that Gregg spoke 941 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,839 Speaker 1: about that, you want that challenge, you want that top 942 00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,319 Speaker 1: not to receiver. You're not shying away from the competition. 943 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,799 Speaker 1: Matter of fact, you're embracing it. And the play that 944 00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:42,879 Speaker 1: he'd made last week, Nathan, we don't get a chance 945 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 1: to talk about it, but quickly the fact that he 946 00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,080 Speaker 1: had the presence of mind to understand, hey, no one's 947 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:51,480 Speaker 1: gonna peel out right, tied end is blocking, let me 948 00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,800 Speaker 1: go make up play in blitz that started rookie stuff 949 00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 1: that's better in moves right there. So that was so impressive. 950 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,160 Speaker 1: So his stock is definitely up, and I could tell 951 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,719 Speaker 1: you that was very appreciated in the in the offices 952 00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,360 Speaker 1: of Maria. What he did, they're adding on and you know, listen, 953 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,680 Speaker 1: with his size, maybe he's a good matchup with te 954 00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:09,600 Speaker 1: Higgins not avage of our chase. Gives you a lot 955 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,640 Speaker 1: of flexibility there. Who's got to step up for you 956 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,239 Speaker 1: in this game? We are down on tight end, so 957 00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,680 Speaker 1: Harrison Bryan has to step up. Give us the production 958 00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:20,399 Speaker 1: and if you can that in joke, who was given 959 00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,239 Speaker 1: us one receiving standpoint, It's gonna be needed and we 960 00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:25,280 Speaker 1: don't want it to be missed. So I'd say Harrison 961 00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,399 Speaker 1: Bryan has to step up. That's it's a great call. 962 00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,480 Speaker 1: Harrison Bryant. Yeah, his career high four catches, fifty six 963 00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:32,719 Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns in a single game. Guess what 964 00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:36,080 Speaker 1: came against the Bengals inies. So hopefully he can get 965 00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:38,960 Speaker 1: that going again. I'd add Dion Jones now he's the 966 00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,000 Speaker 1: mic linebacker, Jacob Phillips out, Anthony Walker out as well 967 00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,640 Speaker 1: the Browns and the Bengals.
