It's the new the one that runs 27 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: off the USBC. Yeah, yeah, I don't know what it 28 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: is about. I was unaware. He stands for cooking. It's 29 00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: cooking with gas. Brother, I had, we have several of them, 30 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: and I never and I've used them before on phone, 31 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: but I'd never paid attention to the difference before until 32 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: yesterday when you said, and I said, well, it's annoying 33 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: that the that I don't have the USB anymore, it's 34 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 1: harder to find plug ins. You go, well, true, but 35 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: these suckers charge in a much faster the supercharger. Now 36 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: they are the supercharger, the supercharger of chargers. And it 37 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: was a full charge in fifteen minutes. Yeah crazy, Yes, 38 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: good job, well, good job out of them to come 39 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: up with this technology. It's funny I was. I was 40 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: the same as you. I was like, what is this. 41 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 1: I'm not using this. I'm used to my USB. And 42 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: then I remember one day I was sitting here and 43 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 1: this iPad, which is an old seventeen inch iPad pro 44 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: like this is old, it is like Vega. It's a 45 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: big it's a big iPad. But I would sit here 46 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: and we would do the show and I would have 47 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: it plugged in with the USB one and it would 48 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 1: go down as the show would go on. And so 49 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: now since we you walked in, is when I put 50 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: this in. Since you walked in, I was at about 51 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: I'm at forty four, just since you walked in. And 52 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: that's on an iPad with it on with a full 53 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: full throat on the screen, brightness or doing what it's 54 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: a right there man of powerliminary cruising around. One other 55 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: thing I wanted to run by you. I had forgotten. 56 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: You've talked about this with your kids, and I've talked 57 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: about it with mine. The what you get with your 58 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: children is at times and ability to relive your youth. 59 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: And so whether it's a Star Wars epics, baby Indiana Jones, 60 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: or any of these things that you're doing Is that 61 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: really what you were going to say? That's exactly where 62 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: it's going. So last night's outrageous, outrageous. I get done 63 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: with third grade hoops. Uh, NBC hadn't seen him, and 64 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: so he goes. We sit down and it was like 65 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: eight oh, a little after eight, and it had and 66 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: we I was flipping. I still like to flip and 67 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: see what else is on it, like an ability to 68 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: bounce around to things, huge beam moment out of you, 69 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: and I see the Goonies had just started. What a film? 70 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: I have not seen it. There's no way I've seen 71 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: it in years. And so it comes up and I go, well, 72 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: this is great. I said, have you seen this? And 73 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: he goes, no, what what's this? What's this? Dad? And 74 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: I pushed in We're in dude. He was on the 75 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: edge of his seat. Yeah, the whole time, his his 76 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: hand like this, like with the the unveiling of chunk 77 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: and all of that chunk. Incredible. Um, it was unbelievable, 78 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: like to the point of like I go And unfortunately 79 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: it was on commercial So it's got to be streaming somewhere. 80 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 1: I gotta find it from yeah, or did I should 81 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: just buy it? Yeah? That's what I should have done. Yeah, 82 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: I gotta get it back. So so he wasn't able 83 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: to watch it all the way, but it was to 84 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,039 Speaker 1: the point because it was with commercials gonna last thirty 85 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: and that's past bedtime. But he was so transfixed that 86 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: usually when I say, hey, I need you to run 87 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: upstairs and brush your teeth, so that and then come 88 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: back down and then you can stay up for another 89 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: commercial or something like that, like Bat out of Hell, upstairs, 90 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: brush the teeth. Not probably a good brushing in all retrospect, 91 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: but at this point hastily. But it was justified in 92 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: how great and how dialed in he was into goonies 93 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: because this is awesome.

Good 169 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: Lucas was I didn't love Lucas. That's Hayman. I think 170 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 1: Richard crenis in Summer Rental, isn't he Let's say, Summer 171 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: Rental cast. We've got a John Candy, We've got a 172 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: Karenas and Carrie Green a Ripped torn A, Joey Lawrence. Yes, yes, 173 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 1: can you imagine going from Richard He's in He's in 174 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: First Blood. He's in First Blood. Then he's in another one. Yeah, 175 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: the original Troutman. He is Troutman, and then there he's 176 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: also in another one with Matt Dillon, The Flamingo Kid, 177 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: which is a pretty classic at that time as well, 178 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: which was a little bit about a summer at the club. 179 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 1: Have you enjoyed red Oaks? Uh? The Amazon series red Oaks, 180 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: which you wi to which I enjoyed a great deal 181 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: then the kind of the the movie version of it. Beforehand. 182 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: He also reprised his role from Rambo and hot Shots parton. 183 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: That's an interesting play that he ran it into that. Yeah, 184 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 1: that's good. I'm sure he's looking for a paid at 185 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: that point. You got the checks have to cash, my friend, 186 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: they have to Um, all right, we are We're gonna 187 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 1: turn the page to the Bengals this week. The players 188 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: are back in the building today Monday night, er uh 189 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: here at First Energy against Cincinnati. Officially, Jacob phillips on 190 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: i R. We signed safety Mike Brown to the practice 191 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: squad as well, a safety coming in. The trade deadline 192 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: is next Tuesday. Jeremy Fowler was some interesting writing today 193 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: about you know, some of the guys who could be 194 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: on the block. Interesting few days here in the building. Yeah, 195 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: and you know, I think given that we play Monday night, 196 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,439 Speaker 1: you know, were my guests as if we did anything, 197 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: it will probably be next Tuesday, right before the day before. Yeah, 198 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: so we kid to have everybody on all hands on 199 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 1: deck for this game. Um, but yeah, I think it 200 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 1: could be an interesting time. Look, we we obviously have 201 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: some roster spots. We're gonna need. You know, we have 202 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,079 Speaker 1: guys that we can elevate. You got the guys on 203 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: the Price squad can be elevated three times before you 204 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: would be in danger of losing them. Um, but yeah, 205 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: we need Dakota Allen's probably a good bet to come 206 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: up as a linebacker. And I think it's probably a 207 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: good bet, you know, Miller forrestall and then I'm guessing 208 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,599 Speaker 1: zayr Mitchell Payton would be activated this week off of 209 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: the practice squad as well. So because unless Farrell Brown 210 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: is is quick in and out of the concussion protocol, 211 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: which we have not seen a ton of quick in 212 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 1: and out of the has changed since the tour stuff. 213 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 1: It has, but there are examples of people who have 214 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 1: were in it and then they were able to play 215 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 1: like that same week. So is Denzel still in it? Right? 216 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: He is? This is going on week three. It is 217 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: not great. Not great against the team that can throw 218 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: the ball around the yard like the Bengals. They can 219 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: um the interesting on the Tuesday deadline. You know one 220 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: thing that we'll have to watch for is we get 221 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,319 Speaker 1: closer to Monday. If we are going to make moves, 222 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: would you like keep keep an eye on who's active 223 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: Monday night, like you wouldn't want Would you want someone 224 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: getting dinged if you're trying to trade him the next day. 225 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: My guess is, if you're not trading him before the game, 226 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: it's because you want them to play in the game. No, no, 227 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: I agree, But like if you are, or if you're 228 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: close on a deal, I think we need to win 229 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 1: this game. I think like if okay, let's just take 230 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: the example that's been talked about, not certainly in our building, 231 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: but outside the Kareem Hunt, I think you would want 232 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt to help you win the game more than 233 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: you'd be worried about that derailing the trade. I don't problem. Yeah, 234 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: that's what so you know what I mean. So that's 235 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: kind of that's my thought process on it. Uh. I 236 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,959 Speaker 1: think people have made a lot about this trade deadline 237 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,839 Speaker 1: this year. I don't know if it's gonna be as 238 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: active as people do think it is going to be. 239 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: And I don't know, Like the it's very likely it's 240 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: probably more likely than not that the Browns make no moves. Yeah, 241 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: I think I think probably the reason that it it's 242 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: there's a couple of reason it's got a little juice 243 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: McCaffrey's already been dealt, so you already have a blockbuster 244 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: that's happened. Um, you have, as we alluded to yesterday, 245 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: a lot of teams who believe that they're in it, 246 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: and especially in the NFC, and if they feel like 247 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: a player here or there can help. And in the 248 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: a f C, there is a clear separation at the 249 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: top between the Bills and the Chiefs and everybody else. 250 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: And if you feel like you're closer than maybe you thought, 251 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: like what the Jets did with the Robinson trade, um, 252 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: you maybe try to make one of those moves to 253 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: get closer to where you are. And I think the 254 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: reason it hits home for us is because of the 255 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: loss last week to the Ravens and now you're on 256 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: like we talked about earlier this week, like the two 257 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: parallel paths. One of god, let's beat Cincinnati and let's 258 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: get this season back in order, which you can do 259 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 1: with the win. It's and it says not that complicated. Absolutely, 260 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,599 Speaker 1: you're not out of anything. You you beat Cincinnati on 261 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: Monday night, you go to three to three and five, 262 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: they dropped to four and four. Your game behind them. 263 00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 1: The ball doesn't Baltimore have Philly this week, is that 264 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Baltimore stamp on Thursday night. Baltimore stamp on Thursday night, 265 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: so they'll be favored than that, but that it's conceivable 266 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:07,719 Speaker 1: you could get to a point with the win here 267 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,439 Speaker 1: very easily. Believably. You're three and five. They're both four 268 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: and four in your a game out in your division. 269 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: So that's what it's tall odds. The team that's comin 270 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: eight is really good, but that's the hope that you 271 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: can sell, and that's what the belief is here in 272 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: the build. And we've swept him through the last four years. 273 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: No big deal, isn't it strange? We've won five straight 274 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: in a row against them, That's right, seven of the 275 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: last eight. Joe Burrows never tasted victory against the Cleveland 276 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: Browns because there's only one he was hurt, the only 277 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: victory in that time he was hurt. Right, No, he hasn't. 278 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: They haven't won since he was here. We're four and o. 279 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: The last year's we won five in a row. Wow, 280 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: the last time or that game, so that was the 281 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: year that they were they won the year that they 282 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: picked him number one. Hold on, I don't think so. 283 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: I thought there was a year I thought he got 284 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: we we beat him here, we beat him here. It 285 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: was a classic game here. Yeah, that was two week 286 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: two and there was a note at the to that 287 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: year they beat us. Did they down there without Burrow 288 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: because he was down with an injury? It would make sense. 289 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: But we've won, we've won, I know we won the 290 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: last four. Yes, we've won four in a row. You're right. 291 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: We lost thirty three on December twenty nine at the 292 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: end of two thousand nine team. That's right, when we 293 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: got beat there, mixing ran mixing, random up like crazy. 294 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: That was freddie last game, last game, never em and 295 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: tackled Joe Mixon. But so Burrow was a rookie that year, 296 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: but he didn't play because he was knocked out. So 297 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: you're undefeated against Burrow. Uh, you know four and oh 298 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: the last two times and the total of five and 299 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: oh against him, But he didn't play. He didn't play 300 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: at the end of last year. Last year either, they 301 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: didn't play anybody in week In the final game against US, 302 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: they were chilling. That was case Keenum against Brandon Allen. 303 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: That's right, So he's so for him, then it's three 304 00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: three Joe Burrow and three against US OH and three 305 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: against the Cleveland Browns. For his career UH sixty eight 306 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: percent completions, one thousand four yards, six touchdowns, three picks, 307 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: all three picks in the last two games, and ninety 308 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: one point seven rating. He's been sacked twelve times, at 309 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: least three in every game against US. No, it's good 310 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: to know. For the over unders, it is good to know. Um. Yeah, 311 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: So since Week three, Joe Borrow seventy one percent completions, 312 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: three twelve yards per game, twelve touchdowns, one pick, hundred 313 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: and seventeen rating. All those stats, I just gave you 314 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: your top three in the NFL. The last two games alone, 315 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: they scored thirty plus in both scent seven eighty one yards, 316 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: six touchdowns, zero picks, a hundred and thirty three rating. 317 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: Can I say? Can I say that I came across 318 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: two of my favorite facts ever in preparation films? Please 319 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: please do share? Okay, the last two games, he's had 320 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: three or more passing touchdowns and one or more rushing 321 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: touchdowns in each of the last two games. He and 322 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: Joe Montana are the only players since nineteen fifty to 323 00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: do that in back to back games. Three or more 324 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: asking and one or more rushing, which seems wild to 325 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: me that that hasn't been more common. Burrow is the 326 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: only one ever to have consecutive games of three hundred 327 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,360 Speaker 1: or more passing yards, three passing touchdowns, one rushing touchdown, 328 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: and no interceptions. Oh it's and no interceptions, three rushing 329 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: touch three passing, one rushing and no interceptions passing. And 330 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: he's the only one to do it with the three 331 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: passing part. Him and Montana the only ones with the 332 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,640 Speaker 1: touchdowns and no pick.

Welker's best 378 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: year there was seventy three, seven, seventy eight and two thousand, 379 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 1: two thousand.

That they brought back their Super Bowl 386 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 1: team ten year anniversary of Baltimore. Yeah, the two thousand 387 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,719 Speaker 1: twelves did. It was a brief. Yeah, So I got 388 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,400 Speaker 1: to see. I got to talk to Paul Krueger, which 389 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,879 Speaker 1: was nice. He's doing well. He's living the dream. Literally 390 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 1: lives in Scottsdale in a sick pad all the time. 391 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: He's just the time his life and well deserved.

Um so in 393 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: my mind, and this is gonna be I'm what you 394 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 1: may say, say, what are you talking about? In my mind? 395 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 1: I always thought like an Kwon Bolden was built as 396 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: like six six two to twenty sick. But like I mean, 397 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 1: I knew him as a college player at Florida State. 398 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: I think they listened to him taller than that. He's 399 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 1: not a whole lot taller than I am. I don't 400 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: believe dude, how tall are you? Like five eleven somewhere 401 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:32,439 Speaker 1: in that. I don't think he's even as tall as 402 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: you are. He is, he's listed a six one twenty 403 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 1: probably No, yeah, he was. Probably I was towering over him. Yeah, 404 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 1: he was probably at best eleven and then probably more 405 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 1: like thirty at some points, like pounds. Remember he got 406 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: like on the David Boston for a while. No, for sure, not. 407 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 1: It was just more the height. I just in my like, 408 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: I think of him as a big, physically imposing guy. 409 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: He is not, which makes to me standing next to 410 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: him for the first time that I just don't know 411 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: why I would have no recollection of standing next to him. 412 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I remember he was here. I ran into 413 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: him in the lobby. You and I were out here. Yeah, 414 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: but it's so quick. What's he doing here? What are 415 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,439 Speaker 1: you doing here? Man? And like I just I was 416 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,479 Speaker 1: taken him back by how not big he was, and 417 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,439 Speaker 1: how tough he is, and how just ridiculous, like he 418 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 1: got his face peeled off of his skull after that 419 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: hit when he had that fracture, and took no pain 420 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: medicine at any point, no drugs at any point while 421 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 1: they performed nothing and played like two weeks later Kurt 422 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: Warren al was quit playing football because of that hit. 423 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 1: He felt so responsible and like he this he what 424 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: a what a beast? He works for the NFL, right, 425 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,880 Speaker 1: like he does NFL p a stuff or he does 426 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: works for the league. Maybe maybe something. So the other 427 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: thing that stood out to me after seeing those guys 428 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: is and I've seen ed Read and Ray Lewis in 429 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: various places and whatnot.

They're tied for first 455 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: in the North Z. There are a very different team 456 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: the last three weeks than they were the previous a 457 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 1: few weeks. This team is really talented. My friend, well 458 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: like they were one and two after three games, we 459 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: were two and one. They have now won three of 460 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: their last four four their last five overall, they're actually 461 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,679 Speaker 1: and two. When we were one and one, we're now 462 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,719 Speaker 1: two and five, they're now four and three. Uh. They 463 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 1: have really kind of just decided, Look who we are offensively, 464 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 1: who we are is a shotgun passing team. We've got 465 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, We've got Jamaar Chase, We've got Tee Higgins, 466 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 1: We've got Tyler Boyd. We have got Joe Mixon, who's 467 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: a fine running back. But what we are is a 468 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: drop back passing team. Out shotgun. In fact, of their 469 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 1: passes involved no play action. Now and at the beginning 470 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 1: of the season, they were trying to play Look at 471 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: these Look at the Look at that, Look at the 472 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 1: heat right there, look at it. Just stop it. It's 473 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:51,360 Speaker 1: just Wednesday, Wednesday. It's too much. It's just Wednesday, too much, Friday, 474 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 1: first Friday, not the real Friday. Unbelievable drip, ridiculous. Uh 475 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: and so three center. Their passing plays are just straight passes. 476 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: That is the second highest rate in the league. The 477 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: only team with a higher rate than that is Tampa 478 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,919 Speaker 1: Bay and Tom Brady. You'll look at what he they 479 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,479 Speaker 1: have done. As I mentioned, I talked about how good 480 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 1: they've been since Week three, as a team since Week three, 481 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: twenty seven points a game, two seven passing yards a 482 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 1: game on third downs, quarterback rating of one seventeen point five. 483 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: Those ranked six, second, second, and first, respectively. After giving 484 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: thirteen sacks in the first two weeks, they have allowed 485 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 1: just eleven in the last four and they but they 486 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: have given up two plus and six of seven games. 487 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,479 Speaker 1: Here's a crazy thing. Bengals all time with twenty five 488 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: and more points sixty two, six and two. The Browns 489 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: given up, as we know, twenty six point six a game. 490 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: So offensively, it's about borrow. It's about throwing the football 491 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: to Higgins, to Chase and to Tyler Boy now Joe Mixon. 492 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 1: For his career against the Browns, he has three one 493 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: yard games. He averages a hundred twenty five total yards 494 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: and point seven five touchdowns a game against the Browns 495 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 1: in eight career games. His last game over a hundred 496 00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 1: was that one at the end of two thousand nineteen 497 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:00,479 Speaker 1: where he had won sixty two and two and look 498 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: like the best player on the field. Um, they're a 499 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 1: big play offense. They've already got five receiving touchdowns of 500 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: forty yards in the NFL. UH five receiving touchdowns of 501 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 1: more than forty yards, which is most in the NFL. 502 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,360 Speaker 1: In fact, there is another team with more than three, 503 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 1: and they have five and they're all of their receivers too. 504 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,439 Speaker 1: For Chase, two for Boyd, one for Higgins. The Browns 505 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 1: defense has given up twenty four completions of more than 506 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: twenty yards, which is the seventh most of the league. 507 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: They allow seven point four big plays a game, third most. 508 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: So big play offense against the defense that has struggled 509 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,399 Speaker 1: to stop big plays. Not a great recipe. One statu 510 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 1: you can keep your eye on. Joe Burrows won seven 511 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: straight games with a one quarterback rating in his last 512 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: ten games, he's seven and oh his rings over a 513 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,719 Speaker 1: hundred and three when his rating is below a hundred. 514 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 1: Last week we talked about three or forty four yards 515 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 1: in the first half, one yards, three touchdowns. He ran 516 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 1: for a touchdowns well, a hundred thirty eight rating. He 517 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 1: is very very good. Uh, like anybody pressures where you 518 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: get him. But most cases, when I do these stats 519 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 1: the pressure, they're like, oh yeah, now we're all quarterback 520 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: ringing in the sixties. He's still at eighty nine against pressure. 521 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: You can't blitz him either on the season and twenty 522 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 1: one rating when blitzed, which is tops in the league. 523 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: And they're good. And then defensively, they've got two guys 524 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 1: who can get after the quarterback a little bit. Trey Hendrickson. 525 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 1: He's got thirty one sacks since started. It's third in 526 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: the NFL, behind only t J. Watton Miles Garrett, and 527 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 1: we wondered if that was an overpay when they fourteen 528 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,159 Speaker 1: sacks a year ago and then in their playoff run 529 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: three and a half sacks in the force fumble in 530 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: the playoff run. They've got Sam Hubbard on the other 531 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,120 Speaker 1: side of has twenty six and a half sex since 532 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:36,679 Speaker 1: he's been drafted. Um they have been in elite second 533 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: half defense this year. They've allowed twelve points in the 534 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: third quarter total, they have allowed thirty points in the 535 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 1: second half and overtime total. Real quickly, what do twelve 536 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: and thirty have in common? They're both divisible by what 537 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 1: number three. That's because they have not allowed a touchdown 538 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: in the second half for overtime this year. They are 539 00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 1: the only team in the NFL of which that is 540 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: thirty six opponent drives in the second half and overtime 541 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: sixteen points. Sixteen points, I'm sorry, sixteen points. Five turnovers 542 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: interceptions or fumbles, four turnovers on downs, eleven field goal attempts, 543 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: ten made, zero touchdowns. Here's a couple of things to 544 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: look at when you think about and this is a 545 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: Super Bowl team from a year ago, and they're kind 546 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: of trending back a little bit in that way the 547 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 1: last few weeks. And even if you want to look 548 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 1: at what they've done all year, there's something I'm gona 549 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 1: get to in a second. They are eleventh overall in 550 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 1: offense in the league and there are eleventh overall in defense. 551 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 1: That's so typically if you were in the top ten, 552 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 1: that's a team that goes to win the Super Bowl. 553 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 1: So they're right on the cusp of that right now 554 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: at eleventh and offense and eleventh in total defense. Here's 555 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: another thing, um, they are pretty damn good at special teams. 556 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 1: Remember how good Evan McPherson was a yeargo. It carried 557 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: all over this year he's eleven and thirteen of kicks. 558 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 1: He's got kicks and fifty. I was unaware of this, 559 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: and I've watched a lot of their games U because 560 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: of what I do in the morning and so I 561 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 1: have to pay very close attention what they're doing as well, 562 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: and they I didn't. I had forgotten that all three 563 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 1: of their losses came on the last play with field 564 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: goals at the end. They lost on a fifty three 565 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: yard field goal um from from Pittsburgh in game one, 566 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 1: Dallas beat him on a fifty yard field goal in 567 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 1: game two, and of course Justin Tucker a forty three 568 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: yard which for him as a chip shot um. But 569 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 1: all three of them were the last play of the 570 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: game where they lost. So when we sit here and 571 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: say we should be this, we should be this, they 572 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 1: could say we should be undefeated. So and they've only 573 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 1: really been going the last three weeks in terms of 574 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 1: that offense going and you hit it. That's the they've 575 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 1: said for a while. It was we've got to establish 576 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: the run, and now they're like, to hell with it, 577 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 1: hell of it, spin it all you want. And that 578 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: worked out pretty good last week. In the last two weeks, 579 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: really taking on the Saints and the Falcons. Uh in 580 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: those two in those two beat downs, it's worked incredibly well. 581 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,239 Speaker 1: Do you remember how many people, I don't know how 582 00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 1: much it crossed over your you paid attention. Remember the 583 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 1: US how many people were clamoring for them to take 584 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 1: Penna sul You gotta get protection from do I remember?

Brother Uh at Brown's Underscore Daily using 657 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 1: the hashtag, asked c b D this one from Janko 658 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: uh college football question more for Bishop, I think than anything. 659 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,880 Speaker 1: Give top four teams right now in college football there 660 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,319 Speaker 1: are that are still undefeated. Can I try to? Can 661 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,879 Speaker 1: I try? I want to try? You I do mine 662 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 1: first because I'm gonna try. Because this is based off 663 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 1: of nothing Ohio State. Alabama lost to Tennessee, So I 664 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 1: know that's Tennessee. Undefeated they are they are, all right, 665 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 1: put him to put him in tennessee'son. Uh, how's Georgia. 666 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 1: I feel like they're always undefeated. Just put them in 667 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:33,359 Speaker 1: put him in, Alight, I got three? Can you give 668 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 1: me like a conference or a non conference to go? 669 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:43,840 Speaker 1: A dear friend of yours is an avid admirer the 670 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:50,279 Speaker 1: blue double? All right there it is Ohio State, Tennessee, Georgia, Michigan. Yeah, 671 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 1: it is a unique final four or top four. Right, 672 00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,239 Speaker 1: here's the deal. I mean, that's that's probably what you 673 00:36:56,239 --> 00:37:01,399 Speaker 1: would say right now, Michigan or I'm sorry Alabama has 674 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 1: a loss in their flawed UM, Ohio States the most 675 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:08,200 Speaker 1: complete and best team in the country period. Uh, Tennessee 676 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,720 Speaker 1: is probably a worthy number two. And that they've played 677 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 1: four ranked five ranked teams or four ranked teams, They' 678 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 1: undefeated against those teams. UM, and they beat Bama, they're 679 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:21,879 Speaker 1: inappropriate number two. UM. Georgia has kind of been sleepwalking 680 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,240 Speaker 1: for a while. They've been they've won, they've handled their business, 681 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,279 Speaker 1: but we haven't seen play anybody good in awhile they 682 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,399 Speaker 1: have Florida this week and they have Tennessee next week, 683 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,320 Speaker 1: so we'll figure out what they are. And then Michigan 684 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 1: is better than I thought they would be. They're more physical, 685 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,319 Speaker 1: they're better at quarterback with McCarthy than they were last 686 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 1: year with McNamara. They can still run it with both backs. UM, 687 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:43,960 Speaker 1: they can't get after the passer as well as they 688 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,520 Speaker 1: did last year with Hutchinson and Najabo, but they're very 689 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,359 Speaker 1: sturdy UM and have been very impressive. So I think 690 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,000 Speaker 1: those are the four. Now here's what's crazy. You could 691 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,920 Speaker 1: be in a scenario. Obviously, Ohio State plays Michigan, Tennessee 692 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 1: plays Georgia, and Bama most likely will represent so by 693 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,399 Speaker 1: the end of this thing, I think it's very likely 694 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:06,800 Speaker 1: that it's Ohio State. If Georgia beats Tennessee and loses 695 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:08,320 Speaker 1: to Alabama, I don't know what the hell you do, 696 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,399 Speaker 1: because Tennessee will have beat in Alabama. Georgia, well, Bama 697 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,120 Speaker 1: will be in because they'll be an SEC champion. So 698 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,800 Speaker 1: Bama's in for sure. Ohio States in for sure that 699 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:21,719 Speaker 1: they went out Clemson. Clemson is undefeated, UM undefeated. That'll 700 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 1: be tricky, like inn a Big twelve team, even at undefeated, 701 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 1: the Pack twelve's eliminated again. That'll be the tricky one 702 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 1: there is is how do they handle all of that? 703 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,799 Speaker 1: But usually these things sort themselves out. But I think 704 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,319 Speaker 1: Bama is very likely to get in because I think 705 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,200 Speaker 1: they're gonna win out. So you think it could end 706 00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,480 Speaker 1: up couldn't end up being Ohio State and three SEC 707 00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,440 Speaker 1: teams won't be three. I think what would happen then 708 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,640 Speaker 1: would be if Michigan loses close in the shoe, then 709 00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:46,799 Speaker 1: they would use surp and you would then it would 710 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,080 Speaker 1: be like, this is the future of college football, a 711 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,279 Speaker 1: two conference world where there's two Big Ten teams in 712 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:55,240 Speaker 1: two SEC teams. That's if Clemson loses Clemson undefeated, Clemson's 713 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 1: in Clemson and then on the rise that we're assuming 714 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 1: in the next three years as USC, right, yeah, they're 715 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:03,520 Speaker 1: on the come now. I mean they have a they 716 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:05,360 Speaker 1: have a loss at Utah, that's it. Other than that, 717 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 1: there's six and one. They've got Caleb Williams is really 718 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:09,600 Speaker 1: good at quarterback. They're not going anywhere, but they're gonna 719 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:14,440 Speaker 1: be in the Big Ten in two years. Ye crazy, right? 720 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,720 Speaker 1: They a big Big Ten matchup between USC and Iowa 721 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:25,560 Speaker 1: get you excited, speaks of just Big Ten history and going, 722 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:29,000 Speaker 1: oh hey, little Tommy, can't you wait till five when 723 00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:30,840 Speaker 1: the Big Ten matchup of the week is U C. 724 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,759 Speaker 1: L A At Rutgers. They need to get rid of 725 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 1: the names. Yeah, of course, like maybe you have the 726 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:40,400 Speaker 1: SEC and then you have the rest of the country conference. 727 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,759 Speaker 1: The Big Ten is gonna get to twenty, that's where 728 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:45,400 Speaker 1: they're going. They want Notre Dame and then they need 729 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,239 Speaker 1: three more to get to twenty. Why isn't Notre Dame done? 730 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,879 Speaker 1: Because no one has played the hardest the hardest ball 731 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,360 Speaker 1: you can play with them, which is we won't schedule you, 732 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 1: and our teams won't schedule you ence and the Big 733 00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,000 Speaker 1: Ten has an ability to do that because they now 734 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 1: have USC N there's talked to they could want Stanford 735 00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,319 Speaker 1: is one of those teams. Yes, of course. If Notre 736 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,880 Speaker 1: Dame can't play USC Stanford, Michigan, Purdue, Michigan State, they 737 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,520 Speaker 1: can't play any of them. And Stanford raises the prestige 738 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,360 Speaker 1: of your conference. And it's I know what football drives everything. 739 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,520 Speaker 1: But they're good, and everything well in the Big Ten 740 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,279 Speaker 1: is pious, and so they will take the academic standing course, 741 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:22,120 Speaker 1: that's what we are. But Stanford is god awful in football, 742 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,600 Speaker 1: Like they have like eight people at their games, and 743 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,920 Speaker 1: so what the television partners want is that I think 744 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,280 Speaker 1: they could use Stanford as a way to both appease 745 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,719 Speaker 1: USC and also force Notre Dame. I mean, Stanford has 746 00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:35,879 Speaker 1: had periods of being very good and having very good talent, 747 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:37,480 Speaker 1: and a lot of guys go to the NFL. Don't 748 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,680 Speaker 1: you think if they got into the Big Ten or 749 00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,560 Speaker 1: the Big twenty that would help them recruit better. Well, 750 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,239 Speaker 1: we'll give him a hundred million dollars a year in 751 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,719 Speaker 1: television revenue and that would help invited they spend it 752 00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:48,640 Speaker 1: on football, and they'd almost have to, like, you can't 753 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,760 Speaker 1: have them paying swimmers. They're gonna win everything else anyway, 754 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:55,560 Speaker 1: They're gonna all of them. Yeah, they'll crush all everything. 755 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:57,920 Speaker 1: I think that what the Big Ten would do is 756 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,480 Speaker 1: they would want you get Notre Dame. You're at seventeen, 757 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:05,840 Speaker 1: and then the other three ideally would be Stanford, Oregon, Washington. 758 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,960 Speaker 1: But the one problem there where's the respect for Arizona 759 00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:17,080 Speaker 1: basketball power. It's just it's basketball doesn't do anything. Swarm 760 00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,560 Speaker 1: wasn't that long. It doesn't mean anything. Oops, nobody cares. 761 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,080 Speaker 1: So that's what I was saying earlier. Though, college basketball 762 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:25,920 Speaker 1: was a much bigger deal in the eighties and nineties 763 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,520 Speaker 1: in terms of your how you felt about a university. 764 00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,440 Speaker 1: People would go to school because they were great basketball schools. 765 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,680 Speaker 1: College basketball is nothing in terms of importance relatives. I 766 00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:37,200 Speaker 1: would say, and this, you can tell me that I 767 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,279 Speaker 1: was wrong, but I don't believe I am. I think 768 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,080 Speaker 1: in the heyday of our youth. So we'll call it 769 00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:47,240 Speaker 1: eighties nineties college basketball. While it was not as important 770 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:52,000 Speaker 1: as college football, the gap was significantly smaller than it 771 00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:55,320 Speaker 1: is today significant. A big reason for that is guys stayed. 772 00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:59,399 Speaker 1: So you had superstars. You had Shaquiel O'Neal played three 773 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,080 Speaker 1: years at LS, you Grant Hill played four duke like. 774 00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,799 Speaker 1: There's constant examples of that of guys the real teams. Yeah, 775 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,440 Speaker 1: you had real teams, and you had real stars, and 776 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:07,799 Speaker 1: they played more. I don't have a problem with your 777 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:09,880 Speaker 1: statement at all. Uh. The only counter I had to 778 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,040 Speaker 1: that was that March Madness is still a huge deal, 779 00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,960 Speaker 1: but the college basketball season is not. I remember when 780 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,120 Speaker 1: it would be the one quick just to button up 781 00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:20,600 Speaker 1: the pack twelve thing, The one kind of just get 782 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,640 Speaker 1: in the ointment. Could be could be Cal because the 783 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,759 Speaker 1: California University system is trying to make sure that U 784 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:28,960 Speaker 1: c l A can't do this without others, and so 785 00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:32,919 Speaker 1: they may have to take pad just because they suck 786 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,000 Speaker 1: it everything that they're not good. Why but they were? 787 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,120 Speaker 1: I mean it's still like a right. I think that 788 00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,680 Speaker 1: they will. I think there's a win if you take 789 00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,120 Speaker 1: you basically owned California, then U c l A, usc 790 00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:47,000 Speaker 1: Cal and Stanford. But Oregon and Washington are both better 791 00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:50,120 Speaker 1: football operations. And I think you're gonna want to peace 792 00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,879 Speaker 1: Phil Knight. So that's the one thing because he's got 793 00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:54,680 Speaker 1: his hands all over this. Just bring them all, bring 794 00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,040 Speaker 1: AARs on Arizona State. I think they're a better fit 795 00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:02,200 Speaker 1: probably in the Big twelve. Sorry, we'll see Arizona Kansas 796 00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,000 Speaker 1: every year. Arizona Kansas every year in hoops. I wouldn't 797 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:08,960 Speaker 1: be fun. Who's left in the Big twelve. Well, the 798 00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:13,200 Speaker 1: Big twelve added Houston UCF, so it's a good Cincinnati 799 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:18,040 Speaker 1: and there's one more the Utahs in the in the 800 00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:22,560 Speaker 1: Pac ten. Where's Oklahoma State? Big twelve? Are they going 801 00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:27,040 Speaker 1: to the SEC? No, they're not invited, really, aren't they good? Yeah, 802 00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,719 Speaker 1: but it's the twenty every year. They don't need them. 803 00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,920 Speaker 1: They have Oklahoma, they don't need them. The SEC Big 804 00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,759 Speaker 1: Game Hunt, that's all they did. So by count they 805 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:41,239 Speaker 1: have Teaboon Pickens money and they've got and like every year, 806 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 1: it's not a brand. It's not a brand that matters 807 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:45,640 Speaker 1: to them. And they already have the state of Oklahoma 808 00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:49,719 Speaker 1: that they have Oklahoma Interesting, Yeah, so you would think 809 00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 1: they would. You would think if you're a perennial Top 810 00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,960 Speaker 1: twenty five college football team, you would be wanted in 811 00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,560 Speaker 1: one of the top two conferences if there's fifty teams 812 00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,719 Speaker 1: in them. It's more about a combination of branding. Like so, 813 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:01,439 Speaker 1: why wouldn't flet me flip it On the other side, 814 00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,680 Speaker 1: why wouldn't the Big Ten then want Oklahoma State in 815 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:05,960 Speaker 1: the Big Ten because it's a good football program and 816 00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,879 Speaker 1: it gets them into Oklahoma because you're taking this step 817 00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,680 Speaker 1: child of the state of Oklahoma, which isn't a state 818 00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,239 Speaker 1: that you care about. It's a good football program, it's 819 00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,040 Speaker 1: not bad. It's a ton of pros that come out 820 00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:17,759 Speaker 1: Oklahoma State. Well, the crazy thing is is, if we 821 00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:22,560 Speaker 1: were redoing this whole conversation, you started from scratch, like Indiana, Illinois, Purdue. 822 00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:24,359 Speaker 1: None of them will be in the Big Ten. They'd 823 00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:25,960 Speaker 1: all be gone. Rutgers wouldn't be in. That was a 824 00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,080 Speaker 1: critical mistake. You would do it entirely differently. But some 825 00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,279 Speaker 1: of them been there a hundred years, like Minnesota, like 826 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:35,359 Speaker 1: they wouldn't be in, you know, that's that's the deal. 827 00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,759 Speaker 1: But they're all locked in. So that's what it is. 828 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:42,120 Speaker 1: Oklahoma State in Arizona too good not to be involved, 829 00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:47,480 Speaker 1: sa um, I love a dog today. Alright, great twitter Anda, 830 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,200 Speaker 1: what rule from college should be adopted by the NFL 831 00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,799 Speaker 1: past interference being only fifteen yards in a first down 832 00:44:55,880 --> 00:45:01,200 Speaker 1: instead of a spot foul warning. I like the no 833 00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:04,120 Speaker 1: two minute warning. I didn't really, I guess I didn't. 834 00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,160 Speaker 1: I didn't pay attention to that and realized that there 835 00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:11,680 Speaker 1: was no two minute warning. I hate the I hate 836 00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:13,799 Speaker 1: the spot following Passe interference too. There should be two 837 00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:17,120 Speaker 1: Passe interferences in the NFL. One that is okay, this 838 00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:18,840 Speaker 1: is clearly a catch. You should have the ball right 839 00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:20,600 Speaker 1: here because he would have caught it he's running free. 840 00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:24,120 Speaker 1: And another one with it is this is third and seventeen, 841 00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:27,600 Speaker 1: like a breakaway or breakaway. This is a third and 842 00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:30,640 Speaker 1: seventeen coin flip, and you just chucked at four yards 843 00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:32,680 Speaker 1: down field. That should be a fifteen yard or there's 844 00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,759 Speaker 1: no reason for that to be that punitive. Yeah, the 845 00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:38,640 Speaker 1: it's but it's got to be an automatic first down. 846 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:40,839 Speaker 1: That's fine, but I don't want it to be it's 847 00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,640 Speaker 1: too damn punity. And your question was about the rules. 848 00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,680 Speaker 1: Which one I like, the no no two minute or 849 00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:50,520 Speaker 1: the other one. I'll tell you what I like the 850 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,560 Speaker 1: best is at the end of the games in college, 851 00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:58,400 Speaker 1: when a first down stops the clock, so before they 852 00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:05,600 Speaker 1: reset the chains, right, run that by Megan. In college, 853 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,479 Speaker 1: at the end, when you pick up a first down, 854 00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:12,719 Speaker 1: they stop the clock until they reset the first downs 855 00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,440 Speaker 1: stop the clock. Yeah, I like that. That's cool. I 856 00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:16,960 Speaker 1: think that should be. I don't know why that's not 857 00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:18,759 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Yeah, they reset and then you have 858 00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,320 Speaker 1: a chance to get up get up right. Well, what 859 00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:24,440 Speaker 1: that does is it takes out any sort of nonsense 860 00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,279 Speaker 1: from the officials not spotting the ball quick enough, all 861 00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,600 Speaker 1: that type of stuff. It allows you to get organized, 862 00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:31,560 Speaker 1: and it makes it easier to go down the field 863 00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:33,120 Speaker 1: because it's the first down. So you could throw a 864 00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,640 Speaker 1: bomb and you have a chance to get up there 865 00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:38,239 Speaker 1: and run another place. And the reason you get that 866 00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:40,120 Speaker 1: because you've got a first down to accomplish something. You're 867 00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:43,279 Speaker 1: rewarded for your efforts. Yes, I like that, that's the 868 00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,080 Speaker 1: one I would I would take the most. And if 869 00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,719 Speaker 1: you did that, get you don't need a two minute warning. Yeah, 870 00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,200 Speaker 1: it solves it. I don't get the two minute warning anyway. 871 00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:52,680 Speaker 1: I don't either. Hey, there's two minutes. We didn't even 872 00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:56,080 Speaker 1: have one last week? Cool? Well they they stole it 873 00:46:56,120 --> 00:47:02,120 Speaker 1: from Yeah, interesting? Did we can we snap this like 874 00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:05,160 Speaker 1: two o nine? Are you sure that that's? Yeah? We 875 00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:09,120 Speaker 1: lost thirteen seconds to give a field goal? Doesn't seem 876 00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:13,040 Speaker 1: does It's impossible?

Two and five? 907 00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:14,919 Speaker 1: What do you kind of make of this football team 908 00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:18,920 Speaker 1: that is been heartbreaking? Lee close in all of the losses, 909 00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,160 Speaker 1: with the exception obviously of the game against New England, 910 00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:23,560 Speaker 1: but has now lost four in a row, three of 911 00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:28,560 Speaker 1: those by three points or less. Yes, I have to 912 00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:31,480 Speaker 1: have a game, to have some of So many of 913 00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:34,040 Speaker 1: the games come down to the last second, to a 914 00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:38,560 Speaker 1: couple of plays being the difference between two and five, 915 00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:42,040 Speaker 1: and bluntly five and two or six and one is 916 00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:45,440 Speaker 1: some of a comment. Is absolutely a theme here in Cleveland, 917 00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:48,920 Speaker 1: and it's actually a common team around the NFL, and 918 00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:52,480 Speaker 1: even more in particular this year with teams and the 919 00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:58,160 Speaker 1: ability to get a W is so predicated on one 920 00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:01,439 Speaker 1: or two plays and stuff. And even just like last week, 921 00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:05,000 Speaker 1: if you would have said before the week that Jacoby 922 00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:08,120 Speaker 1: Brissette was going to be twenty two for two hundred 923 00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:12,400 Speaker 1: fifty eight yards, Lamar Jackson was going to have less 924 00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:15,640 Speaker 1: than two hundred yards of total offense nine for sixteen, 925 00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:19,520 Speaker 1: a hundred and twenty yards fifty nine yards rushing, and 926 00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:25,000 Speaker 1: Brown's killer Mark Andrews was gonna have no catches. You 927 00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,719 Speaker 1: would have thought for sure we would have won the game. 928 00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,920 Speaker 1: So to have, you know, to have a game like 929 00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:35,800 Speaker 1: that end up twenty like that where really we played 930 00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:39,640 Speaker 1: and we held their their offensive weapons in place, and 931 00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:44,080 Speaker 1: and Jacoby played at a good quarterback level of throwing 932 00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:47,960 Speaker 1: twenty two for seven to fifty eight Nick Chubb average 933 00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:51,880 Speaker 1: and um five point seven yards of Kerry's sixteen carry's 934 00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:55,120 Speaker 1: nine yards um. You would think those are the type 935 00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:59,000 Speaker 1: of things that are conducive towards getting a W. Yeah, 936 00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:01,120 Speaker 1: and Bernie, that's my own Monday, when we were going 937 00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:05,840 Speaker 1: all over this, this is our script, Like we played 938 00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:08,400 Speaker 1: against a really good team at their place, and we 939 00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,360 Speaker 1: lost a close game. The reason that this one hurts 940 00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:14,520 Speaker 1: is because the cumulative damage. It's because we didn't take 941 00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:17,359 Speaker 1: advantage of the opportunities given in the first few games 942 00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:20,280 Speaker 1: of the season. That this performance on Sunday was actually 943 00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:23,600 Speaker 1: one that was quite good. Uh well, maybe not clutch, 944 00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:25,799 Speaker 1: but it was certainly quite good in all that could 945 00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:30,839 Speaker 1: be expected based on the rosters we currently have. Yeah, 946 00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:35,600 Speaker 1: that's the thing that's uh discouraging slash. We have to 947 00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:39,880 Speaker 1: play pay attention to, is we It wasn't like we 948 00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:43,440 Speaker 1: played a bad game, and actually, from a defensive perspective 949 00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:48,560 Speaker 1: and from an offensive efficiency perspective, that was as solid 950 00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,240 Speaker 1: a game as we played in the last few weeks. 951 00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:54,839 Speaker 1: And to play at Baltimore where they had a lot 952 00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:58,399 Speaker 1: of State two and to really play better than them 953 00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:00,399 Speaker 1: in a game I know him a home are here 954 00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:03,000 Speaker 1: saying that we played better than them although we got 955 00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:06,759 Speaker 1: the l played um is least as good as them, 956 00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:09,719 Speaker 1: if not better, And that's to not come away with 957 00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:13,319 Speaker 1: the w um to get the fourth loss in a row. 958 00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:16,719 Speaker 1: That type of discouragement is from a from a young 959 00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:22,840 Speaker 1: team's perspective, makes coach Stefanski and from organizationally, a massively 960 00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:27,800 Speaker 1: important week to how he's handling the psychology of his 961 00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:30,879 Speaker 1: young team getting ready for really a make or break 962 00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,799 Speaker 1: Monday night game before our bye game, our bye week 963 00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:37,480 Speaker 1: with the Battle of Ohio playing the Bengals. Yeah, and 964 00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:39,920 Speaker 1: that's exactly where this team finds itself now. It is. 965 00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,759 Speaker 1: It's now We're never the time to keep saying, oh, 966 00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:44,400 Speaker 1: well we've had three must wins in a row that 967 00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:47,120 Speaker 1: we haven't won. Well, this is this is it, right, 968 00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:50,160 Speaker 1: this is this is the Browns last stand going against 969 00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:52,359 Speaker 1: the Bengals team, Bernie, that you know, I know you're 970 00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:54,440 Speaker 1: an admirer of good quarterback play. It's one of my 971 00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:56,520 Speaker 1: favorite things watching the Manning cast is they love good 972 00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,920 Speaker 1: quarterback play and bad quarterback play frustrates Peyton Manning to 973 00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,200 Speaker 1: no end. But you're gonna be going against one of 974 00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,200 Speaker 1: the best in the league right now. Joe Burrow, Bernie. 975 00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:08,600 Speaker 1: Since Week three, completions three or twelve yards a game, 976 00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:11,279 Speaker 1: twelve touchdowns, one pick in a quarterback rating of a 977 00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:16,000 Speaker 1: hundred and seventeen. He's been phenomenal. What makes him so good? 978 00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:17,920 Speaker 1: This is a team now that just lines up in 979 00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:20,800 Speaker 1: shotgun and passes. They don't even mess around with play action. 980 00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:23,120 Speaker 1: They just say we're better than you. And they have 981 00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:28,959 Speaker 1: been yes to see to see Joe Burrow coming into 982 00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:31,480 Speaker 1: his own And much have been made about not playing 983 00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:36,560 Speaker 1: in preseason, having the appendeck tomy surgery and preseason starting 984 00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:40,600 Speaker 1: out the season um a little bit slow and unfortunately 985 00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:44,239 Speaker 1: for US Browns fans, on Halloween Night. It looks like 986 00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:48,000 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals are really hitting their 987 00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:51,879 Speaker 1: stride offensively. To to have watched the film the last 988 00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:54,440 Speaker 1: couple of weeks of Joe Burrow and to see him 989 00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:59,360 Speaker 1: thirty four forty two last week four d one yards, 990 00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:02,560 Speaker 1: three touch stounds, twenty yards rush and another and a 991 00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:06,880 Speaker 1: rushing td um Tyler Boyd eight catches a hundred fifty 992 00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:09,879 Speaker 1: five yards Divart Chase eight catches a hundred and thirty 993 00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:13,600 Speaker 1: yards two touchdowns. I mean they're locked and loaded with 994 00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:19,200 Speaker 1: weapons offensively. That's that's the type of stuff where Um, 995 00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:22,680 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow hasn't yet to beat the Cleveland Browns. Um, 996 00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:27,719 Speaker 1: that's that statistically sounds good. But for a guy that's 997 00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:31,040 Speaker 1: that competitive, you know that that bothers him and that 998 00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:33,480 Speaker 1: he's gonna want to get off the snide and get 999 00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:36,840 Speaker 1: his first win against the Cleveland Browns just from a 1000 00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:40,040 Speaker 1: competition standpoint. And then for the magnitude of the game 1001 00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:44,320 Speaker 1: of the season and the Bengals not having any wins 1002 00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:47,880 Speaker 1: within the division, they know that the division record and 1003 00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:51,920 Speaker 1: tiebreakers are important. And then this battle of Ohio to 1004 00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:55,719 Speaker 1: the Brown family, to the Great Paul Brown from here 1005 00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:59,440 Speaker 1: with the Cleveland Browns and with the Cincinnati Bengals, his 1006 00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:03,680 Speaker 1: his son and daughter Katie, and Mike Brown. Um, this 1007 00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:05,960 Speaker 1: is a special game to them, so they don't look 1008 00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:08,880 Speaker 1: past the Cleveland Browns. And I think that this this 1009 00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:13,080 Speaker 1: game right now, Um, this week is is we need 1010 00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:16,440 Speaker 1: to get We need to get better offensively, and we 1011 00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:20,040 Speaker 1: need to get from a defensive perspective. We know we're 1012 00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:22,400 Speaker 1: going to be tested with their shotgun passing game down 1013 00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:25,440 Speaker 1: the field. Yeah. But I'm gonna circle back on that 1014 00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:27,600 Speaker 1: historical stuff of the Brown family with you in a second. 1015 00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:29,680 Speaker 1: But something else I want to ask you about, and 1016 00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:32,160 Speaker 1: I mean maybe this comment earlier in the week, the 1017 00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:36,200 Speaker 1: way that they are constructed in the receiving room especially, 1018 00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:40,080 Speaker 1: it's damn near perfect Bernie. They've got a burner who's 1019 00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:43,320 Speaker 1: physical and a game record in Chase. They've got a 1020 00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:45,960 Speaker 1: big physical guy in Higgins on the outside, and then 1021 00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:48,320 Speaker 1: Boyd handles all this stuff in the middle and his 1022 00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:50,920 Speaker 1: elite at the slot. Uh. This is something that is 1023 00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:53,040 Speaker 1: if you think about the longevity. And this isn't fun 1024 00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:55,480 Speaker 1: to admit, but as I look at this, I go, boy, 1025 00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:57,360 Speaker 1: this is gonna be like this for a while and 1026 00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:03,280 Speaker 1: they've kind of constructed the perfect attack, haven't day Unfortunately, 1027 00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:07,400 Speaker 1: bo I concur with you the offensively that this is 1028 00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:11,440 Speaker 1: this is a quarterback kid for Christmas morning with the 1029 00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:16,319 Speaker 1: with the weapons around him, but from from and that's 1030 00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:19,480 Speaker 1: actually why you know, you've heard us talk about how 1031 00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:22,400 Speaker 1: the Browns and how we we struggle and stop in 1032 00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:26,200 Speaker 1: the running game. We're undersized a defensive tackle, were a 1033 00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:30,440 Speaker 1: little light at um linebacker. And part of that I 1034 00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:34,880 Speaker 1: believe was of a choice, a personnel choice and a 1035 00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:38,520 Speaker 1: schematic choice in the off season because of just what 1036 00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:43,279 Speaker 1: we're mentioning with those massively awesome, unfortunately awesome weapons to 1037 00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:46,960 Speaker 1: since any Bengals have now their week at the offensive line, 1038 00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:51,200 Speaker 1: UM that's Joe Burrow has taken an inordinate amount of 1039 00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:55,200 Speaker 1: hits through the year, UM last year and this year. UM. 1040 00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:59,400 Speaker 1: So to have the Miles Garrett and Davian Cowney being 1041 00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:02,919 Speaker 1: able to get pressure canst They passed a passing team 1042 00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:07,920 Speaker 1: that's exclusively almost shotgun. They actually if they do have 1043 00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:10,479 Speaker 1: a weakness, it's in their short yard is a goal 1044 00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:13,320 Speaker 1: line ability to get into the end zone and fourth 1045 00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:16,720 Speaker 1: down from the one and two yard line. Because they 1046 00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:20,280 Speaker 1: even though they have mixed and a phenomenal running back. 1047 00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:23,800 Speaker 1: He has fifty eight yards last week um three receptions 1048 00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:26,600 Speaker 1: for thirty three yards. They still struggle a little bit 1049 00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:29,280 Speaker 1: of running the running the ball. And we were actually 1050 00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:34,440 Speaker 1: constructed with the Denzel Awards and Newsom's and Emersons and 1051 00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:38,360 Speaker 1: stuff that we I believe we kind of got our 1052 00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:42,240 Speaker 1: personnel with dbs and pass rushing to actually match up 1053 00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:45,640 Speaker 1: against teams like the Cincinnati Bengals. This is from a 1054 00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:50,000 Speaker 1: personnel a defensive personnel standpoint, you know, with our defensive backs, 1055 00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:54,080 Speaker 1: hopefully Denzel's coming back, that this is the type of 1056 00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:57,760 Speaker 1: week where we need our dvs to play as best possible, 1057 00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:03,200 Speaker 1: lockdown on those those boyd Higgins and Chase and then 1058 00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:07,320 Speaker 1: our defensive line to take advantage of probably the one 1059 00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:12,120 Speaker 1: limitation within their offense, and that's their past protection. If 1060 00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:14,680 Speaker 1: you could get if you could get off, get off 1061 00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:18,760 Speaker 1: on their past protection. Clip pressure on Joe Burrow. Yeah, 1062 00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:20,760 Speaker 1: you've got to. They've given up twenty five sacks' is 1063 00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:23,000 Speaker 1: your third most in the league. Thirteen of those, though, 1064 00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:25,480 Speaker 1: came in the first two weeks, twelve in the last 1065 00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:29,360 Speaker 1: five Bernie you mentioned, you know, getting that pressure and 1066 00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:32,160 Speaker 1: last year, one of our recipes for success against Joe Burrow, 1067 00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:35,160 Speaker 1: we actually blitzed our nickel corner. If people remember, Troy 1068 00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:37,480 Speaker 1: Hill had two sacks in that game. We blitzed him 1069 00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:40,280 Speaker 1: often and that disrupted them. The Browns would have five 1070 00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:43,640 Speaker 1: sacks in that game as a team. Um But now 1071 00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:45,960 Speaker 1: with him being out of the shotgun, with their improvements 1072 00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:49,240 Speaker 1: in their offensive line and the fact that Burrow has 1073 00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:51,520 Speaker 1: a D twenty one rating against the blitz this year, 1074 00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:53,920 Speaker 1: he hasn't thrown a pick, five touchdowns, eight point six 1075 00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:56,280 Speaker 1: yards and attempts. You know, how do you do that? 1076 00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:58,600 Speaker 1: Is this a game where you must generate your pressure 1077 00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:01,440 Speaker 1: organically or do you still try and come and bring 1078 00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:06,480 Speaker 1: that blitz because it's something we've had success within the past. Well. 1079 00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:11,720 Speaker 1: As a quarterback, a pocket quarterback, I enjoyed drawn against 1080 00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:14,040 Speaker 1: the blitz. And you can see that Joe Burrow has 1081 00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:17,880 Speaker 1: the weapons to throw against the blitz and he kind 1082 00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:21,080 Speaker 1: of has the presence and confidence to make place against 1083 00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:24,240 Speaker 1: the blitz. That being said, I'm right with you, though, Nathan. 1084 00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:27,680 Speaker 1: Last year we had five sacks and Troy Hill had 1085 00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:32,720 Speaker 1: two by doing those kind of five man creative um 1086 00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:36,760 Speaker 1: Man blitz and zone blitz type nickel blitz is um 1087 00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:40,920 Speaker 1: from from that to kind of solidify that they're keeping 1088 00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:44,200 Speaker 1: their offensive line and somewhat of a mental confusion stan 1089 00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:47,320 Speaker 1: standpoint as to how to really block, and then sometimes 1090 00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:51,520 Speaker 1: that helped helped create some one on ones for Miles 1091 00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:54,440 Speaker 1: Garrett as opposed to those double and triple teams that 1092 00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:59,360 Speaker 1: he's been sent seeing. So um uh. Joe Burrow also 1093 00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:02,400 Speaker 1: does a really good job when you play just soft 1094 01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:05,960 Speaker 1: zone against them. So I actually would I want to 1095 01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:08,600 Speaker 1: mix it up. I know that's playing on the fence 1096 01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:11,280 Speaker 1: that you have to mix it up against teams like 1097 01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:15,560 Speaker 1: that and qbs of that elite level. Um, you need 1098 01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:18,200 Speaker 1: to mix it up. But but um, I wouldn't be 1099 01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:21,480 Speaker 1: afraid of the blitz because that that is what we 1100 01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:23,680 Speaker 1: had some success with last year, and we're gonna have 1101 01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:26,440 Speaker 1: to try We're gonna have to try some of some 1102 01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:28,680 Speaker 1: of that out. And if you could get their line, 1103 01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:32,000 Speaker 1: um with a little bit of confusion, or you get 1104 01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:37,000 Speaker 1: some you get some uncertainty in how they're past protecting 1105 01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:39,680 Speaker 1: and or running routes or their sense of timing, I 1106 01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:43,320 Speaker 1: think you need to try to amplify those types of 1107 01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:47,000 Speaker 1: indecisions within within their head to try to create some 1108 01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:50,560 Speaker 1: mental mistakes by them. Bernie, you mentioned how much this 1109 01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:52,800 Speaker 1: one means to the Brown family. I think it can 1110 01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:55,120 Speaker 1: be argued pretty clearly that you played in the golden 1111 01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:58,240 Speaker 1: era of this with Sam and obviously Marty and you 1112 01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:01,360 Speaker 1: and Boomer and Paul Brown still around and all of that. 1113 01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:04,600 Speaker 1: What what was this week like for you when it 1114 01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:07,040 Speaker 1: was Bengal's week, when it was Battle of Ohio? And 1115 01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:09,160 Speaker 1: what sense did you get of what it meant to 1116 01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:12,200 Speaker 1: Paul Brown to come here and play the team of 1117 01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:17,040 Speaker 1: his namesake. Wow, bo I gotta tell you, a whole 1118 01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:20,880 Speaker 1: blast of adrenaline and goose bumps just went through my 1119 01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:24,560 Speaker 1: body as you were asking me that question. And it's 1120 01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:29,040 Speaker 1: still that adrenaline, goose bumps, excitement goes through your body 1121 01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:32,200 Speaker 1: when I think about that. And yes, I just say, 1122 01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:35,120 Speaker 1: the joke about the CTE has affected us, but it 1123 01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:39,280 Speaker 1: has not affected my memory on how Bert Modell and 1124 01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:44,320 Speaker 1: the Brown's organization was that week. Um, Mr Modell, God 1125 01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:47,960 Speaker 1: bless he's passed, but and Mr Brown has passed, but 1126 01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:51,640 Speaker 1: his son and daughter, Katie and Mike are still there. 1127 01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:56,680 Speaker 1: That attitude that week. You knew within our locker room 1128 01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:59,280 Speaker 1: that that meant a hell of a lot to the 1129 01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:04,040 Speaker 1: Brown's over zation Mr Modell and and his his fun 1130 01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:08,360 Speaker 1: office people, because they were accountable for our performance that week. 1131 01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:11,680 Speaker 1: And when I would be able to go on the 1132 01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:15,320 Speaker 1: field in the mid eighties and see their great Paul Brown, 1133 01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:18,120 Speaker 1: it was it was an awesome honor for me as 1134 01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:21,000 Speaker 1: a historian of the game. And then actually one of 1135 01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:25,840 Speaker 1: my favorite, one of my most favorite days I've had 1136 01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:29,200 Speaker 1: in my fifty eight years of life, was I was 1137 01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:34,440 Speaker 1: at the Mobile Senior Bowl Senior Bowl um probably about 1138 01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:39,120 Speaker 1: fifteen years ago, and I flew down with Mike Brown 1139 01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:44,800 Speaker 1: and UH coach Cooper Ohio State and coach Cooper was 1140 01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:48,360 Speaker 1: scouting for the Bengals. And Mike Brown has taken a 1141 01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:52,040 Speaker 1: lot of flak over the years for for sometimes people 1142 01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:56,400 Speaker 1: say his his knowledge of football and and how he 1143 01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:59,720 Speaker 1: understands the game and stuff and I and I had 1144 01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:02,560 Speaker 1: heard those type rumors, but I had never met him. 1145 01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:05,240 Speaker 1: And I got to spend a day with him just 1146 01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:09,960 Speaker 1: talking xs and ohs and just talking football and schemes 1147 01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:15,440 Speaker 1: and coverages and high low stretches, and for a for 1148 01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:19,080 Speaker 1: a man who is an owner, I was absolutely so 1149 01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:22,880 Speaker 1: impressed with his level of knowledge of the exes and 1150 01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:25,840 Speaker 1: ohs of football that um it was. It was so 1151 01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:28,000 Speaker 1: much fun for me to be able to hang out 1152 01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:30,720 Speaker 1: with him and go back and forth with sexas and ohs, 1153 01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:34,200 Speaker 1: And then for him to be such an astute fan 1154 01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:37,040 Speaker 1: of the Browns, and for him growing up as a 1155 01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:39,680 Speaker 1: little boy being a Browns fan on the East side 1156 01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:44,280 Speaker 1: of Cleveland. He knows everything about about Cleveland, the team, 1157 01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:48,040 Speaker 1: the city, and for me and I hope Boomer as 1158 01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:50,520 Speaker 1: size and I love you, Boomer. I hope you're listening 1159 01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:53,640 Speaker 1: to hear this clip. But but for us to have 1160 01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:56,440 Speaker 1: been able to beat their backside so bad and get 1161 01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:58,800 Speaker 1: the better side of that Battle of Ohio in the 1162 01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:02,080 Speaker 1: mid eighties, for a hell of a lot of levity 1163 01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:06,000 Speaker 1: and jovialness out of me. I love that. I think 1164 01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:08,400 Speaker 1: Boomer is going to be on the Manning Cast this week. Oh, 1165 01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:11,000 Speaker 1: he's gonna be on the cast. That'll be pretty good. Yeah. 1166 01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:13,880 Speaker 1: So then you'll get, Oh, he's gotta he's gonna let me. 1167 01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:16,240 Speaker 1: He's gotta let me get on the Manning Cast with him. 1168 01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:18,440 Speaker 1: So I'll tell the truth about what the Battle of 1169 01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:20,440 Speaker 1: oh I was like when they need to go home 1170 01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:22,960 Speaker 1: so sad, So we got to get that done. Let's 1171 01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:25,720 Speaker 1: get Bernie and Boomer on the Manning cast together. That 1172 01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:27,320 Speaker 1: would be the way you do. It would be great. 1173 01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:30,120 Speaker 1: We got to get to get that done, Bernie, come on, Peyton, 1174 01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:34,240 Speaker 1: let's get that done. Yeah we won, We won the game. 1175 01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:37,600 Speaker 1: We won most of the games back then. Yes you did, Yes, 1176 01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:42,040 Speaker 1: you did, which is glorious talking. Let's keep you keep it, 1177 01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:47,080 Speaker 1: keep it rolling. Yeah, we're gonna keep that streak going. Actually, 1178 01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:49,320 Speaker 1: and the Bengals, I know we'll probably going to a 1179 01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:52,120 Speaker 1: break and stuff. But the Bengals games, that was one 1180 01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:56,240 Speaker 1: of the games that started me on my obsession with 1181 01:04:56,480 --> 01:04:58,320 Speaker 1: what I do for the first play of the game, 1182 01:04:58,360 --> 01:05:01,880 Speaker 1: because in big games on the road or in Monday 1183 01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:05,280 Speaker 1: night games, you'd like to be able to show early 1184 01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:07,880 Speaker 1: what you want to do and that you have confidence 1185 01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:11,040 Speaker 1: and stuff. So I had multiple games against the Bengals 1186 01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:14,680 Speaker 1: where they are important games, and instead of like coming 1187 01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:17,240 Speaker 1: out and running the ball up the middle and being 1188 01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:21,360 Speaker 1: safe and secure and patient early in the game, going 1189 01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:25,160 Speaker 1: going hard for the jugular and going hard at showing 1190 01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:27,320 Speaker 1: people you believe in going after him. And that was 1191 01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:30,920 Speaker 1: fun for me to be able to use use some 1192 01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:33,800 Speaker 1: aggressive down the field throws to put the Bengals in 1193 01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:36,880 Speaker 1: their place back in the day. How important is it 1194 01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:39,080 Speaker 1: for a quarterback since you mentioned that right there, to 1195 01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:43,240 Speaker 1: have that early game success, first throw success, first drive success, 1196 01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:45,600 Speaker 1: because I think back just New England game Jacoby for 1197 01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:48,600 Speaker 1: sets interception on the second play that clearly rattled him. 1198 01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:50,600 Speaker 1: But last week we went right down the field and 1199 01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:53,160 Speaker 1: he was feeling great and he ends up seven. How 1200 01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:57,800 Speaker 1: much does that actually matter to a quarterback? You know, 1201 01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:02,280 Speaker 1: Nathan A fantastic question. Uh, if I was playing in 1202 01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:05,840 Speaker 1: the QBS that we're playing. When we're playing, we say, hey, 1203 01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:10,240 Speaker 1: we're pros or veterans, we don't get affected by it. Um, 1204 01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:13,160 Speaker 1: we're able to handle it. We know if we starts slow, 1205 01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:16,320 Speaker 1: we'll be able to come back. Um. We say that 1206 01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:20,200 Speaker 1: to talk ourselves into it. It absolutely is a difference. 1207 01:06:20,560 --> 01:06:23,120 Speaker 1: And when you are able and you believe you could 1208 01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:26,000 Speaker 1: do something and you actually come out and you do it, 1209 01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:29,360 Speaker 1: you hit a nice pass down down the fields, you 1210 01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:33,040 Speaker 1: score on your first drive, you absolutely have way more 1211 01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:36,240 Speaker 1: confidence and belief. And I absolutely played better with it. 1212 01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:40,880 Speaker 1: Just like if on the rare occasions when you stunk 1213 01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:43,080 Speaker 1: at the beginning of the game or you blew a 1214 01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:47,320 Speaker 1: couple of throws. That demon really resonates in your head. 1215 01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:50,360 Speaker 1: And I actually thought about it Monday night when I 1216 01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:55,600 Speaker 1: was watching um uh Matt Jones and Zappy in the 1217 01:06:55,720 --> 01:06:59,840 Speaker 1: New England game. You know when you uh, it almost 1218 01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:05,000 Speaker 1: like Mac was was almost predetermined to um if you 1219 01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:08,280 Speaker 1: had some issues to get benched and stuff. So sometimes 1220 01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:11,160 Speaker 1: if you don't feel confident, if you don't feel like 1221 01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:13,720 Speaker 1: you could make the place and stuff, you feel like 1222 01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:16,560 Speaker 1: your team doesn't believe in your your coach doesn't believe 1223 01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:20,960 Speaker 1: in you, that absolutely affects your performance, your ability to 1224 01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:24,920 Speaker 1: stick the ball in there and execute these players. You're 1225 01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:27,960 Speaker 1: the best, buddy, love our conversations. Thanks for your time today. 1226 01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:33,240 Speaker 1: God bless you. You matter. Go Brown's big game Monday night. 1227 01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:37,720 Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun. The great Bernie Coos are joining 1228 01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:40,440 Speaker 1: us on the Twisted Tea Hotline. It's pretty amazing that 1229 01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:43,440 Speaker 1: Art Model didn't change the name of this team when 1230 01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:49,000 Speaker 1: he fired Paul Brown. Yeah, where would you have? God, 1231 01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:51,640 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean I wasn't Art Model in 1232 01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:53,920 Speaker 1: the sixties, But I mean you just think to yourself, like, 1233 01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:58,320 Speaker 1: sometimes we don't even consider that that there is a 1234 01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:02,040 Speaker 1: team owned by Paul owns family in this state in 1235 01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:04,560 Speaker 1: our division. Prior to this year, played in Paul Brown 1236 01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:08,720 Speaker 1: in Paul Brown Stadium, were named after the guy Modell 1237 01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:11,280 Speaker 1: fired him. At that point, he could have named it anything. 1238 01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:14,919 Speaker 1: And at that point championships though, right, But at that time, 1239 01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:17,360 Speaker 1: like you could have done anything. It's not like there 1240 01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:19,200 Speaker 1: was any pressure. The NFL isn't what it is now. 1241 01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:21,680 Speaker 1: There wasn't the branding, There wasn't the loyalty behind it 1242 01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:24,160 Speaker 1: for decade upon decade upon decade. It would have been 1243 01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:28,320 Speaker 1: relatively easy at that time to rebrand to whatever he 1244 01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:31,360 Speaker 1: thought the team should have been. Like, I'm glad he didn't, 1245 01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:33,760 Speaker 1: but at the same time, like it it is a 1246 01:08:34,600 --> 01:08:37,840 Speaker 1: wild thing that you might add better colors. Yeah you 1247 01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:42,200 Speaker 1: I suppose so, Yeah, we only seen with Brown in 1248 01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:45,600 Speaker 1: the whole league. Yeah yeah, so it is. Isn't that 1249 01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:48,120 Speaker 1: weird to me that he didn't that he has that 1250 01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:50,519 Speaker 1: time and he was like, yeah, we'll just roll with this. 1251 01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:52,040 Speaker 1: And then how piste off would you be if you're 1252 01:08:52,080 --> 01:08:54,800 Speaker 1: Paul and you're fired and you're like, well, I'm gonna 1253 01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:57,839 Speaker 1: start a new team And was literally looking at Columbus 1254 01:08:58,120 --> 01:09:02,800 Speaker 1: and then ended up in Cincinnati and thinking like wait, 1255 01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:06,200 Speaker 1: I gotta play play the Browns. I gotta play named 1256 01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:10,280 Speaker 1: after me, named after me. It's wild. We don't consider 1257 01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:12,840 Speaker 1: it much other than this week when you play them. Uh, 1258 01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:15,800 Speaker 1: will you like in your other line of work that 1259 01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:18,680 Speaker 1: if you were somehow let go of that show and 1260 01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:21,000 Speaker 1: they brought somebody else and they kept the same name. 1261 01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:28,599 Speaker 1: Yea more emphasis on the friends apparently less the bishop. Yes, yeah, 1262 01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:30,679 Speaker 1: that'd be pretty well where that happened. Yeah, I would 1263 01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:34,439 Speaker 1: think confusion, Yeah, it would be. Jake Toront will join us. 1264 01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:36,599 Speaker 1: Coming up next. You listen to Clean the Browns Daily 1265 01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:52,479 Speaker 1: on ESPN Cleveland.

Jake, thanks 1272 01:10:12,160 --> 01:10:14,360 Speaker 1: for taking the time, buddy. Let's let's just start out 1273 01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:17,960 Speaker 1: with um. This is such a big week for a 1274 01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:20,000 Speaker 1: lot of reasons. We have the trade deadline coming up 1275 01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:22,840 Speaker 1: on Tuesday. You have the Bengals here on Monday night. 1276 01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:25,840 Speaker 1: You're coming off of a divisional loss. Um, it feels 1277 01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:28,360 Speaker 1: already like we're in a little bit of a danger 1278 01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:30,720 Speaker 1: zone here. What's your read around the team this week 1279 01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:35,200 Speaker 1: in terms of their approach to this week. Yeah, but 1280 01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:38,720 Speaker 1: it's a huge game. If you lose it, it's it's 1281 01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:42,599 Speaker 1: hard to find the path back, especially with the schedule 1282 01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:45,080 Speaker 1: that you're going to have after the buy at Miami 1283 01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:49,400 Speaker 1: at Bath Buffalo in Tampa Bay, who's struggling but still 1284 01:10:49,439 --> 01:10:53,160 Speaker 1: has Tom Brady and in some pretty impressive weapons around him. 1285 01:10:53,760 --> 01:10:57,519 Speaker 1: You know that the the team hasn't had like their 1286 01:10:57,600 --> 01:11:01,000 Speaker 1: normal schedule, as you guys know. Because the Monday night game, 1287 01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:03,760 Speaker 1: I think we'll have a better feel for the state 1288 01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:06,040 Speaker 1: of the team later this week. You know, when they 1289 01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:10,360 Speaker 1: kind of get into they're harder their practices. But you know, 1290 01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:13,960 Speaker 1: it was a very frustrated group on Sunday afternoon evening, 1291 01:11:14,040 --> 01:11:17,200 Speaker 1: I can tell you that. And you know, they played 1292 01:11:17,280 --> 01:11:20,240 Speaker 1: pretty well on Sunday. I think they played actually their 1293 01:11:20,360 --> 01:11:23,400 Speaker 1: best game of the season and they still lose. And 1294 01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:26,719 Speaker 1: now to be in the situation you're in, it definitely 1295 01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:31,080 Speaker 1: feels like it's teetering and could fall off the precipice 1296 01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:34,720 Speaker 1: with the with the lost Monday Night, There's no doubt 1297 01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:36,360 Speaker 1: that it is a sitting here at two and five 1298 01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:38,320 Speaker 1: star and two and six in the face and being 1299 01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:40,719 Speaker 1: multiple games behind both teams ahead of you in the division, 1300 01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:42,559 Speaker 1: or you have a chance to kind of at least 1301 01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:44,840 Speaker 1: give yourself some life, get back into it with a 1302 01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:47,320 Speaker 1: win over a Bengals team you've beaten, Jake, when this 1303 01:11:47,479 --> 01:11:49,559 Speaker 1: team's as this team sits here at two and five, 1304 01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:52,240 Speaker 1: if you were kind of to identify, you know, three 1305 01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:55,160 Speaker 1: things that are most responsible for how the Browns have 1306 01:11:55,200 --> 01:11:59,080 Speaker 1: gotten here, what would they be? Yeah, I mean I 1307 01:11:59,160 --> 01:12:01,120 Speaker 1: think you have to star, aren't with and I know 1308 01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:04,360 Speaker 1: they played really well, I thought, at least on Sunday. 1309 01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:07,240 Speaker 1: I mean the defense has been a massive, a massive disappointment. 1310 01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:10,840 Speaker 1: I mean they've been you know, right around thirty in 1311 01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:14,240 Speaker 1: the NFL in defense, you know, efficiency, d v O, A, 1312 01:12:14,360 --> 01:12:17,320 Speaker 1: whatever analytic you want to include. You know, they've been 1313 01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:20,320 Speaker 1: especially bad in the fourth quarter. And has it just 1314 01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:23,080 Speaker 1: been you know, one game, you know, the Jets game. 1315 01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:26,320 Speaker 1: I think kind of put the Browns on this path 1316 01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:28,479 Speaker 1: to where we are now. But they didn't play well 1317 01:12:28,520 --> 01:12:30,960 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. Defensively in Carolina, we've seen how 1318 01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:34,880 Speaker 1: bad you know, that offense is, and you know, just 1319 01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:37,160 Speaker 1: to struggle across the board in a way I don't 1320 01:12:37,160 --> 01:12:38,920 Speaker 1: think any of us would have predicted. I mean, we 1321 01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:41,800 Speaker 1: knew that, you know, stopping the run could be a 1322 01:12:42,040 --> 01:12:43,960 Speaker 1: little bit of an issue, but not to this extent 1323 01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:46,160 Speaker 1: that you know that you're having a trade for linebackers 1324 01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:48,560 Speaker 1: in the middle of the season. Um, you know, we 1325 01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:52,120 Speaker 1: we thought that, uh, you know, maybe it would take 1326 01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:54,400 Speaker 1: a little while, but that they would find their stride 1327 01:12:54,439 --> 01:12:58,280 Speaker 1: pretty quickly, uh in the secondary like they did last year. 1328 01:12:58,360 --> 01:13:01,760 Speaker 1: And you know, again the defense played well Sunday, but 1329 01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:04,439 Speaker 1: until then, you know, guys are just wide open all 1330 01:13:04,479 --> 01:13:08,160 Speaker 1: the time in opportune moments, and that's been a killer 1331 01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:10,400 Speaker 1: as well, especially for a secondary we thought was gonna 1332 01:13:10,439 --> 01:13:12,400 Speaker 1: be what top five, right then we all agree to 1333 01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:16,680 Speaker 1: five secondary And from a talent perspective, I don't think 1334 01:13:16,720 --> 01:13:19,040 Speaker 1: that we were far off. But you know, guys that 1335 01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:21,320 Speaker 1: just you know, not produced to the level we thought 1336 01:13:21,360 --> 01:13:23,880 Speaker 1: that they would, you know, out of training camp. So 1337 01:13:25,200 --> 01:13:27,880 Speaker 1: I mean that that's number one, you know, number two, 1338 01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:31,000 Speaker 1: you're playing with a backup quarterback, but I would say 1339 01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:32,760 Speaker 1: this guy's I mean, if I had told you before 1340 01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:35,880 Speaker 1: the season that Nick Chubb would be leading the NFL 1341 01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:39,160 Speaker 1: and rushing Jacoby Brissette would be top twelve and QB R. 1342 01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:41,840 Speaker 1: I think we all agree that receiving receivers and tight 1343 01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:48,800 Speaker 1: ends and probably exceeded expectations a little bit. Yeah, and 1344 01:13:48,920 --> 01:13:53,200 Speaker 1: Joeku DPJ and Marii Cooper vall played well, and then 1345 01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:55,840 Speaker 1: the offensive line has been its normal dominant self. Like 1346 01:13:55,920 --> 01:13:58,720 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's hard to you know, it's hard 1347 01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:03,559 Speaker 1: to look at that in say, man, you know what's 1348 01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:06,880 Speaker 1: wrong with this team? But you know, offensively, they're just 1349 01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:10,960 Speaker 1: not as explosive as some of the teams that they're 1350 01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:13,599 Speaker 1: getting ready to face. And so you know, I hate 1351 01:14:13,640 --> 01:14:15,760 Speaker 1: to company Percetta then the least of their issues, but 1352 01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:20,000 Speaker 1: he's still a backup quarterback for a reason. And then 1353 01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:22,599 Speaker 1: you know, you you look at the special teams guys 1354 01:14:22,680 --> 01:14:27,519 Speaker 1: and oh my goodness, just awful across the board on Sunday, 1355 01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:31,080 Speaker 1: and it really gets exposed when you're playing a special 1356 01:14:31,160 --> 01:14:33,599 Speaker 1: teams unit that's just phenomenal, like the Ravens, I mean, 1357 01:14:33,680 --> 01:14:36,960 Speaker 1: big pump return, you know, huge field goals, I mean 1358 01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:39,640 Speaker 1: control the field position. I mean, I don't even know 1359 01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:42,600 Speaker 1: that there was a you know, special teams, uh that 1360 01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:46,000 Speaker 1: that didn't get completely outplayed by the Ravens in that game. Blocks, 1361 01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:47,840 Speaker 1: blocks the field goal at the end of the game. 1362 01:14:48,760 --> 01:14:50,800 Speaker 1: So those are three things that that stick out to me. 1363 01:14:50,920 --> 01:14:53,679 Speaker 1: And I think there are some other issues. Game management 1364 01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:56,559 Speaker 1: has been an issue at times. Um, you know that's 1365 01:14:56,560 --> 01:15:00,360 Speaker 1: contributed to some of these fourth quarter collapses. Um. You know, 1366 01:15:00,600 --> 01:15:04,160 Speaker 1: injuries are are not helpful right now. Um, you know, 1367 01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:05,960 Speaker 1: the in Joku injury I think is going to be 1368 01:15:06,080 --> 01:15:08,400 Speaker 1: a killer that that we're not really talking a lot about. 1369 01:15:08,520 --> 01:15:11,040 Speaker 1: But it's gonna. I think it's gonna it's gonna appear 1370 01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:13,240 Speaker 1: that way Monday night when the Browns are trying to 1371 01:15:13,240 --> 01:15:15,679 Speaker 1: score with Cincinnati. So it's it's a bunch of days. 1372 01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:18,640 Speaker 1: Are you asked for three? There you go, David, and 1373 01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:21,360 Speaker 1: Joku has got fifty or more yards receiving in five 1374 01:15:21,439 --> 01:15:23,840 Speaker 1: straight games, seventy or more than four of those five 1375 01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:25,920 Speaker 1: second in the NFL and receiving yards amongst side and 1376 01:15:25,960 --> 01:15:29,360 Speaker 1: since Week two, Harrison Bryant's career high as fifty six yards, 1377 01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:33,000 Speaker 1: which happened. We had well, I was gonna say, we 1378 01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:35,840 Speaker 1: have this new receiving analytic that we've been compiled dating 1379 01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:38,400 Speaker 1: data for the USPIAN. We just kind of made it public, 1380 01:15:38,479 --> 01:15:42,240 Speaker 1: but it's it's it's it's compiled that over you know, 1381 01:15:42,360 --> 01:15:45,479 Speaker 1: multiple years to kind of come up with I think, 1382 01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:48,840 Speaker 1: kind of an appropriate representation of where, uh, you know, 1383 01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:51,560 Speaker 1: how receivers and tight ends perform. It's like you know, 1384 01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:56,400 Speaker 1: getting separation, making contested catches, you know, yards after the catch, 1385 01:15:56,439 --> 01:15:59,640 Speaker 1: all of that into one rating. David and Joku is 1386 01:15:59,760 --> 01:16:02,800 Speaker 1: number or two among Titans. Travis Hilsey is the only 1387 01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:05,960 Speaker 1: one that's ahead of him. I don't think phenomenal realize 1388 01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:08,240 Speaker 1: how how good of the season he was having before 1389 01:16:08,280 --> 01:16:12,320 Speaker 1: that injury. It's a lot with the Anthony Walker thing. 1390 01:16:12,360 --> 01:16:14,120 Speaker 1: I think those of us who pay really close attention 1391 01:16:14,160 --> 01:16:16,720 Speaker 1: to the team know what the loss meant. When you 1392 01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:18,599 Speaker 1: see the loss of the joke of the loss to Walker, 1393 01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:20,920 Speaker 1: if you pay really close attention, you knew. But but 1394 01:16:21,160 --> 01:16:23,080 Speaker 1: from the public at large, I think it's like, oh, 1395 01:16:23,200 --> 01:16:25,360 Speaker 1: just a tight end, just a linebacker, No, just give 1396 01:16:25,400 --> 01:16:28,960 Speaker 1: it to chub Yeah right right. So much more than that. 1397 01:16:31,640 --> 01:16:33,880 Speaker 1: I gotta be honest, guys, I was surprised by how 1398 01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:39,320 Speaker 1: big the Anthony Walker injury. I just didn't I just 1399 01:16:39,439 --> 01:16:41,360 Speaker 1: didn't think it was going to have that big of 1400 01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:45,519 Speaker 1: an effect on the running the running defense. You know, 1401 01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:48,559 Speaker 1: he's definitely a leader on the team, Like I thought 1402 01:16:48,640 --> 01:16:51,280 Speaker 1: that that would be a thing, But just his playing 1403 01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:53,400 Speaker 1: on the field is something that they missed and that's 1404 01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:55,760 Speaker 1: not a guy you think of when you think about 1405 01:16:55,800 --> 01:16:58,280 Speaker 1: the Brown's defense, at least to begin the season. It 1406 01:16:58,439 --> 01:17:00,960 Speaker 1: was more than just his play, which was stellar in 1407 01:17:01,040 --> 01:17:04,120 Speaker 1: those games. It was his ability to diagnose things pre 1408 01:17:04,280 --> 01:17:07,000 Speaker 1: snap and relay that to the young players around him. 1409 01:17:07,040 --> 01:17:10,280 Speaker 1: And so I don't think it's a surprise that the 1410 01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:14,000 Speaker 1: first week that jeremiahsu Kormoa has bounced back since Anthony 1411 01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:16,640 Speaker 1: Walker went down. One Anthony Walker was back in the 1412 01:17:16,720 --> 01:17:19,600 Speaker 1: building working with them in practice, but Dion Jones was 1413 01:17:19,680 --> 01:17:22,639 Speaker 1: on the field with him. He he when he knows 1414 01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:24,839 Speaker 1: what he's supposed to do. Jok's as good as anybody 1415 01:17:24,880 --> 01:17:27,160 Speaker 1: in the league, but he's still learning and to have 1416 01:17:27,280 --> 01:17:31,360 Speaker 1: those veterans matters a great deal for him. Yeah, they 1417 01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:34,040 Speaker 1: definitely have looked lost without Anthony Walker, and I just 1418 01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:37,120 Speaker 1: didn't think it would happen to that degree that it has. Yeah, 1419 01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:40,120 Speaker 1: Jake um We Nathan I talked about this on Monday 1420 01:17:40,240 --> 01:17:43,080 Speaker 1: that the loss to Cincinnati now operate, You're now operating 1421 01:17:43,120 --> 01:17:45,599 Speaker 1: on a couple of two parallel planes. Here. One sure 1422 01:17:45,680 --> 01:17:48,040 Speaker 1: beat Cincinnati and you're a game back of them, and 1423 01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:51,960 Speaker 1: who knows what happens with Baltimore. Season is alive, although daunting, 1424 01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:54,160 Speaker 1: you can still you can still be in that mix. 1425 01:17:54,439 --> 01:17:56,040 Speaker 1: At the same time, you say to yourself, well, how 1426 01:17:56,080 --> 01:17:58,680 Speaker 1: can we we recoup perhaps some of the things that 1427 01:17:58,760 --> 01:18:00,559 Speaker 1: are out there in terms of the we've given up 1428 01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:02,920 Speaker 1: for Watson for example, I'm talking about draft capital or 1429 01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:06,000 Speaker 1: young players. Kareem Hunt has been mentioned a lot, your 1430 01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:08,400 Speaker 1: your colleague at ESP and Jeremy Fowler mentioned green Hunt, 1431 01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:10,760 Speaker 1: Greedy Williams, all sorts of reports that calls have been 1432 01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:15,280 Speaker 1: taken on those guys out there, maybe Jack Conklin as well. Um, 1433 01:18:15,439 --> 01:18:18,200 Speaker 1: what do you make of the noise around this team 1434 01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:22,240 Speaker 1: from that perspective, Yeah, I mean, I think the Monday 1435 01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:24,360 Speaker 1: night game is going to have a big impact on 1436 01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:27,160 Speaker 1: the way that Tuesday trade deadline goes. You know, if 1437 01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:30,439 Speaker 1: they get you know, if they get dialed up and 1438 01:18:30,520 --> 01:18:32,559 Speaker 1: let's you know, let's save the guy. Cincinnati is capable 1439 01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:37,200 Speaker 1: of dialing up this Browns team, you know the way. Yeah, 1440 01:18:37,360 --> 01:18:41,360 Speaker 1: so like if you just get you know, if if 1441 01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:43,680 Speaker 1: it's similar to the New England game, then I think 1442 01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:45,880 Speaker 1: I think everything is on the table at that point, 1443 01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:49,720 Speaker 1: and you know, you trade away a guy like Kareem Hunt, Like, 1444 01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:52,160 Speaker 1: what kind of message does that send to the team. 1445 01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:55,840 Speaker 1: Probably not a great one about what you think about 1446 01:18:55,920 --> 01:18:57,720 Speaker 1: your prospects for the rest of the season. But like, 1447 01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:00,840 Speaker 1: as you said, Bo, you're light on draft picks right now. 1448 01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:04,160 Speaker 1: And I mean, if there was an offer work taking, 1449 01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:07,200 Speaker 1: like I think I think Sala wrote that, you know, 1450 01:19:07,240 --> 01:19:09,040 Speaker 1: the Browns would do it for a fourth round pick. 1451 01:19:09,760 --> 01:19:11,920 Speaker 1: That makes sense to me. Sixth round pick like the 1452 01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:15,200 Speaker 1: James Robinson trade. I just I don't know that worth 1453 01:19:15,240 --> 01:19:18,280 Speaker 1: it to you guys. I wouldn't know do that. So 1454 01:19:18,360 --> 01:19:20,400 Speaker 1: it just kind of depends what you're getting offered. But 1455 01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:23,160 Speaker 1: it you know, the fan base should be aware of 1456 01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:25,640 Speaker 1: two things. One, like all of this is possible, Like 1457 01:19:25,960 --> 01:19:28,519 Speaker 1: there could be you know, there's a scenario where the 1458 01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:31,800 Speaker 1: Browns are a seller at the deadline, but be like, 1459 01:19:31,920 --> 01:19:33,960 Speaker 1: you're not getting a second round pick for Kareem Montlo. 1460 01:19:34,840 --> 01:19:38,519 Speaker 1: So it's it's uh, you know, if you're gonna fire 1461 01:19:38,640 --> 01:19:41,120 Speaker 1: sell like it's got to be worthwhile. But I don't 1462 01:19:41,200 --> 01:19:44,840 Speaker 1: think you're getting anything but day three picks for any 1463 01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:49,400 Speaker 1: of these guys that could potentially be on the block, right, 1464 01:19:49,720 --> 01:19:52,599 Speaker 1: And I think that's the scenario you're in. You're much likely, 1465 01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:54,240 Speaker 1: as we said, to be a seller rather than a buyer. 1466 01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:55,920 Speaker 1: But if you are a buyer, maybe you're finding somebody 1467 01:19:55,960 --> 01:19:58,320 Speaker 1: that is, you know, in a situation under a rookie contract, 1468 01:19:58,360 --> 01:20:00,120 Speaker 1: that you think can help you in the future. It 1469 01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:02,639 Speaker 1: is interesting the Browns where he said, what's the message. 1470 01:20:02,640 --> 01:20:04,439 Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of belief in Deernest Johnson 1471 01:20:04,479 --> 01:20:06,280 Speaker 1: and Jerome Ford, who we haven't seen that you know, 1472 01:20:06,400 --> 01:20:10,000 Speaker 1: we do have an overabundance of talent at the running 1473 01:20:10,040 --> 01:20:12,599 Speaker 1: back position, and certainly Nick Chubb is not going anywhere 1474 01:20:13,040 --> 01:20:15,760 Speaker 1: the league's leader in rushing. But yeah, it's it's an 1475 01:20:15,840 --> 01:20:19,040 Speaker 1: interesting scenario and it it really is incredible how we've 1476 01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:20,479 Speaker 1: gotten here. And I think I go back to you 1477 01:20:20,560 --> 01:20:22,960 Speaker 1: know what you're talking about earlier. The Jets game, I 1478 01:20:23,040 --> 01:20:25,720 Speaker 1: think kind of set you off into a a little bit, 1479 01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:27,679 Speaker 1: and I know you bounced back and you beat the Steelers, 1480 01:20:27,800 --> 01:20:30,479 Speaker 1: but that game you should have been three and oh, 1481 01:20:31,040 --> 01:20:32,960 Speaker 1: and then it's who knows how you play in Atlanta 1482 01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:34,639 Speaker 1: at three and oh, and I know you had injuries there, 1483 01:20:34,720 --> 01:20:37,600 Speaker 1: but it just feels like special teams. You know, on 1484 01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:40,280 Speaker 1: side kick, miss extra point, miss, two field goals against 1485 01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:43,080 Speaker 1: the Chargers, the big return that just handed three points 1486 01:20:43,439 --> 01:20:46,120 Speaker 1: you know to the Ravens in that last game. Those 1487 01:20:46,160 --> 01:20:48,040 Speaker 1: little things are adding up for a team that doesn't 1488 01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:50,880 Speaker 1: have a big margin for error. And it's also I 1489 01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:53,000 Speaker 1: think causing us to lose sight of you lead with this, 1490 01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:55,360 Speaker 1: but if we were to say, okay, we're gonna play 1491 01:20:55,360 --> 01:20:58,439 Speaker 1: against in seven games, we're gonna play against Baker Mayfield, 1492 01:20:58,520 --> 01:21:01,400 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco, Mitch Robiski. By the way, none of those 1493 01:21:01,439 --> 01:21:03,960 Speaker 1: three are starting for their teams anymore. Bigger was doing 1494 01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:08,320 Speaker 1: scout teamwork today in Carolina Marcus Mariota, who is still starting. 1495 01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:11,360 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert Bailey's appy and Lamar Jackson. You'd say, okay, 1496 01:21:11,400 --> 01:21:14,880 Speaker 1: two tough matchups there with the quarterbacks. Obviously Herbert and 1497 01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:18,240 Speaker 1: Lamar five very easy ones, but were the number six 1498 01:21:18,320 --> 01:21:20,600 Speaker 1: total offense, the number ten scoring offense, were first in 1499 01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:23,040 Speaker 1: the NFL, and big plays as an offense, You'd say, 1500 01:21:23,080 --> 01:21:25,240 Speaker 1: of course, we're five and two. So it says defense, 1501 01:21:25,280 --> 01:21:28,400 Speaker 1: special teams issues that have just in many ways kind 1502 01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:32,559 Speaker 1: of derailed what could have been a surprisingly good start 1503 01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:34,559 Speaker 1: to the season before you got to Shawn Watson back 1504 01:21:35,160 --> 01:21:38,040 Speaker 1: and you mentioned those quarterbacks that the Browns of face, 1505 01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:40,360 Speaker 1: and then you look at the ones that they're getting 1506 01:21:40,360 --> 01:21:42,720 Speaker 1: ready to face, and I mean, this is kind of 1507 01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:45,320 Speaker 1: the problem you're in. Now. You can play, you can 1508 01:21:45,360 --> 01:21:46,920 Speaker 1: play your what do you get? What are you guys 1509 01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:49,040 Speaker 1: seeing they played in Baltimore? Did you say, like a 1510 01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:53,799 Speaker 1: B plus type game, maybe even a minus. Great defense, 1511 01:21:53,960 --> 01:21:55,160 Speaker 1: I didn't have a problem with I thought it was 1512 01:21:55,200 --> 01:21:58,280 Speaker 1: the best maybe their best performance fishing offense, not great 1513 01:21:58,320 --> 01:22:01,920 Speaker 1: special teams, and you had your turnover was more costly 1514 01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:04,360 Speaker 1: than their turnout. You were great defensively, your quarterback went 1515 01:22:05,680 --> 01:22:07,880 Speaker 1: and when you ran first started to carry. Yeah, I 1516 01:22:07,920 --> 01:22:10,560 Speaker 1: mean you can't like you can play. The point is 1517 01:22:10,600 --> 01:22:12,960 Speaker 1: you can play your A minus game of course, season 1518 01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:16,920 Speaker 1: next four games and lose all four games. You've got 1519 01:22:17,080 --> 01:22:20,559 Speaker 1: brow that you were way better than you're not. That's right, 1520 01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:23,800 Speaker 1: that they're not better than any of these teams are 1521 01:22:23,800 --> 01:22:27,120 Speaker 1: getting ready to face, with the possible exception to Tampa. 1522 01:22:27,200 --> 01:22:29,920 Speaker 1: But but I have more faith in Tampa what they 1523 01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:31,720 Speaker 1: might be by the time we get the Thanksgiving than 1524 01:22:31,800 --> 01:22:34,280 Speaker 1: than what we've seen out of Cleveland so far. So 1525 01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:36,519 Speaker 1: you're in a position now where you can play really 1526 01:22:36,520 --> 01:22:39,880 Speaker 1: well and still lose. And I mean, I don't know 1527 01:22:39,960 --> 01:22:41,680 Speaker 1: what what do you guys think the record is going 1528 01:22:41,720 --> 01:22:45,640 Speaker 1: to be when Deshaun Watson gets back. That's I've been 1529 01:22:45,720 --> 01:22:48,840 Speaker 1: helping this all week that the that I this Baltimore 1530 01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:51,439 Speaker 1: loss isn't the one that sticks in my crap because 1531 01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:54,000 Speaker 1: this is this was the best way for us to 1532 01:22:54,080 --> 01:22:56,120 Speaker 1: play against good teams. We lost to a good team 1533 01:22:56,120 --> 01:22:59,439 Speaker 1: at their place in a hotly contest with a chance 1534 01:22:59,520 --> 01:23:01,240 Speaker 1: to win it late, Like that's all you could ask 1535 01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:03,240 Speaker 1: for based on the way this team is constructed. To 1536 01:23:03,280 --> 01:23:06,479 Speaker 1: answer your question, I think that I think you could 1537 01:23:06,800 --> 01:23:10,880 Speaker 1: pedal hope and it's slim and I understand this a reach. 1538 01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:12,679 Speaker 1: I think you could peddle it at four and seven 1539 01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:15,800 Speaker 1: with Watson coming back based on what's happening around in 1540 01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:18,719 Speaker 1: the a f C. It's a tall tale to pedal. 1541 01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:21,479 Speaker 1: I I understand and acknowledge, But that's requiring you to 1542 01:23:21,520 --> 01:23:25,880 Speaker 1: win two of the next four. So that's that's where's 1543 01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:28,240 Speaker 1: the minimum that you have to get. Are they more 1544 01:23:28,360 --> 01:23:30,760 Speaker 1: likely to be four and seven or two and nine? 1545 01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:41,800 Speaker 1: I can't even say the other out loud because then, yeah, 1546 01:23:41,920 --> 01:23:44,559 Speaker 1: you've lost because you do it in the first five games. Yes, 1547 01:23:45,040 --> 01:23:47,599 Speaker 1: we saw DeShawn Watson and Jacksonville. I'm not saying he's 1548 01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:49,160 Speaker 1: gonna be that poor coming out of the gate, but 1549 01:23:49,320 --> 01:23:54,160 Speaker 1: like he's not gonna be twenty nineteen DeShawn Watson on 1550 01:23:54,240 --> 01:23:56,960 Speaker 1: the first half back after you're and half away. So 1551 01:23:57,080 --> 01:23:59,560 Speaker 1: this idea, because if you're four and seven, guys, you 1552 01:23:59,640 --> 01:24:02,439 Speaker 1: probably to go six and oh, yes, they're not going 1553 01:24:02,560 --> 01:24:04,559 Speaker 1: six and oh, so you've got to get the five 1554 01:24:04,640 --> 01:24:07,800 Speaker 1: and six, which means you've got to win three of 1555 01:24:07,920 --> 01:24:11,840 Speaker 1: these next uh four is four? Yeah, three of these 1556 01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:15,720 Speaker 1: next four games? And like, there is no evidence to 1557 01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:18,160 Speaker 1: suggest that this team is capable of that against the 1558 01:24:18,200 --> 01:24:22,519 Speaker 1: teams are getting ready to play. No, no, there's not. Yeah, 1559 01:24:22,640 --> 01:24:25,640 Speaker 1: that's where it is. So but you beat you beat Cincinnati, 1560 01:24:25,760 --> 01:24:28,200 Speaker 1: and like, you know, maybe maybe the equation begins to change. 1561 01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:29,760 Speaker 1: I mean, all you can do is take it one 1562 01:24:29,800 --> 01:24:32,920 Speaker 1: game at a time. But here's the with the except look, 1563 01:24:33,479 --> 01:24:37,400 Speaker 1: we can beat Buffalo, it would we would be significantly 1564 01:24:37,640 --> 01:24:42,240 Speaker 1: there's a very percentage. It doesn't feel like right. They 1565 01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:44,160 Speaker 1: are going to be a prohibitive favorite against us. But 1566 01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:49,080 Speaker 1: we're capable of beating anybody. We're capable of losing to anybody, 1567 01:24:49,160 --> 01:24:51,599 Speaker 1: but we're capable of beating anybody. That's been the problem. 1568 01:24:51,640 --> 01:24:54,760 Speaker 1: And we have lost the teams we shouldn't have, and 1569 01:24:54,920 --> 01:24:58,720 Speaker 1: we have not yet beaten somebody that we shouldn't have. 1570 01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:01,360 Speaker 1: And so that ends up with and four of these 1571 01:25:01,439 --> 01:25:04,599 Speaker 1: games are three points or less. You know, you recover 1572 01:25:04,680 --> 01:25:07,080 Speaker 1: an onside kick, you beat the Jets, you do something 1573 01:25:07,160 --> 01:25:09,720 Speaker 1: that you went, you win a game that had been one. 1574 01:25:09,920 --> 01:25:11,920 Speaker 1: I believe I still have this number two thousand, two 1575 01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:14,280 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty six times in a row. In that 1576 01:25:14,360 --> 01:25:16,680 Speaker 1: scenario that game had been one. You do that, you're 1577 01:25:16,760 --> 01:25:18,280 Speaker 1: three and four with a chance to get to four 1578 01:25:18,320 --> 01:25:20,160 Speaker 1: and four. That's all you have to do. You make 1579 01:25:20,240 --> 01:25:23,080 Speaker 1: a field goal one of two against the Chargers, and 1580 01:25:23,240 --> 01:25:26,519 Speaker 1: you win that game just on on two plays on 1581 01:25:26,600 --> 01:25:30,040 Speaker 1: special teams alone, recover an on sidekick, make a field goal, 1582 01:25:30,840 --> 01:25:33,840 Speaker 1: and we're four and three. Not to mention what we 1583 01:25:33,920 --> 01:25:38,439 Speaker 1: couldn't need. Yeah, no, I'm with you, Although I will 1584 01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:41,320 Speaker 1: see this. I could make the case that the Browns 1585 01:25:41,360 --> 01:25:43,400 Speaker 1: two wins have come against the number thirty one and 1586 01:25:43,479 --> 01:25:46,160 Speaker 1: number thirty two ranked teams in the NFL, no doubt, 1587 01:25:46,920 --> 01:25:49,080 Speaker 1: and they were more of struggles than they should have been. 1588 01:25:49,360 --> 01:25:51,519 Speaker 1: We need a fifty eight yard or to beat an 1589 01:25:51,600 --> 01:25:55,000 Speaker 1: awful Panthers team, who, by the way, the Carolina might 1590 01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:57,840 Speaker 1: be playing their best quarterback right now. So j Walker, 1591 01:25:58,840 --> 01:26:02,560 Speaker 1: this has all been real fun. Yeah, very positively. Appreciate you. 1592 01:26:02,880 --> 01:26:07,720 Speaker 1: I'm usually trying to, you know, find the optimism, but 1593 01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:11,439 Speaker 1: it stops out. Guys. Yeah, it's good talking to you, buddy, 1594 01:26:12,160 --> 01:26:14,439 Speaker 1: all right, see you later.

I got a hot take 1606 01:27:18,400 --> 01:27:21,559 Speaker 1: for you since we were talking Ken Sack earlier. Joan 1607 01:27:21,840 --> 01:27:31,800 Speaker 1: greater than John? What's Apex Joan? Fair question? So in 1608 01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:36,400 Speaker 1: my mind, Apex Joan loved her in Arlington Road, fine film, 1609 01:27:36,560 --> 01:27:41,519 Speaker 1: great thriller, Jeff Bridges, Tim Robbins, Adams family, she's great 1610 01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:43,679 Speaker 1: and all of Adam's family. She's in the toy story 1611 01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:46,479 Speaker 1: of as a voice actress.
