00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 2: Is it in there?

00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 1: It is?

34
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 7: Yeah?

35
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 2: That was a great one. Yeah. So this is it.

36
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: So this is this is the event. This is availability day.

Speaker 2: So everyone's talking. So coach is gonna talking about a

38
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 2: half hour. We'll have that for you at some point,

39
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: we'll have the Deshaun Watson conversation. We'll have that audio

40
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: for you as well. And away we go the officials

41
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 2: kind of the official start of the we're here off season.

42
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 3: It feels like it today. Absolutely a couple things. I

43
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 3: just want to first of all, send our condolences to

44
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 3: former Cleveland brown Chris Smith and his family who passed

45
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 3: away at the age of thirty one. He was a

46
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 3: great guy when he was here. He endured an unspeakable

47
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 3: tragedy while he was here as a member of the

48
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 3: Cleveland Browns, and just heart goes out to him. Is

49
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 3: survived by his daughter, just very very sad. So wanted

50
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 3: to certainly acknowledge that and the tragic passing of a

51
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 3: member of our Cleveland Browns family. And yeah, that's a

52
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 3: very hard thing. There guys here not many left who

53
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 3: probably played alongside Chris Smith, but certainly some of them did,

54
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 3: and so certainly our thoughts and prayers with his family today.

55
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 3: And then the other thing I wanted to talk about was,

56
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 3: you know the report that came out yesterday about the

57
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 3: stadium and that the Browns would be renovating the stadium

58
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 3: and then in the while they are renovating it moved

59
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 3: somewhere potentially Columbus for two three seasons. That's not true.

60
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 2: Well, let's also just I think it's really important because

61
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 2: we are in a disinformation age. Oh yes, what we're in,

62
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 2: so that it was not really a report, it was

63
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 2: a blog post. The the at one point even the

64
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 2: thinking was it would I believe the line was something

65
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: like and I don't have it up because I paid

66
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 2: very little attention to it once I saw it and

67
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: realized it was mostly nonsense, But there were a few

68
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 2: kernels of truth in it that that if you could

69
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 2: sift through the nonsense and you got to you go, well,

70
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: there here's where some validity comes in.

71
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 4: Right.

72
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: So that's why it gets a little bit of credence.

73
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 2: But the thing that got all the attention was the

74
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 2: moving to Columbus for for three seasons to play home games,

75
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 2: which no one has ever done that. So, just for perspective,

76
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 2: the Bears played one season in Champagne when they renovated

77
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: Soldier Field. The you tell me, give me do.

78
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 6: You want to take Watson?

79
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: Well, you got Chief coming in here.

80
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 6: You do have Chief.

81
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: I mean I don't think you can. I think I

82
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: would rather play DeShawn in its entirely right. Yeah, And

83
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: then as you I don't want to, I don't want to.

84
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:52,839
Speaker 7: We don't.

85
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: I don't want to jump off. We're Chief's coming in

86
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 2: and I don't want to do that.

87
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 4: So okay.

88
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 2: So the Vikings were two seasons in a brand new

89
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 2: college stadium that is across the river from where they

90
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: built their palace. So that is the Those are the

91
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: two most recent examples of build a stadium, we got

92
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 2: to find a place to play. Neither of them are

93
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 2: were two hours away for three seasons to renovate that,

94
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 2: so it made no sense. But even in the in

95
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 2: the post, the guy did not say, and I'm blanking

96
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 2: on the guy who wrote it, he didn't say, this

97
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 2: is what my sources say. He's saying. What he said

98
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 2: was it essentially it's plausible that they could play in Columbus.

99
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 2: And then it got turned into that this was a

100
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 2: report but it's not. No, but we can't tell the

101
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 2: difference anymore because opinion and fact there's it's all gray

102
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 2: well and non so it's just nonsense. Like legitimate people,

103
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 2: legitimate newsplaces were running with this and having on their websites.

104
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: There was just no validity to it.

105
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 3: Ever now and using the headlines that said the Browns

106
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 3: are going just so that was this is Cleveland Browns Daily.

107
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,799
Speaker 3: You can always pay attention to scores. These aren't even scores.

108
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 3: This is just straight up telling you that is not

109
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 3: true and that the Browns, you know, like the other

110
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 3: team less not forget there is a major renovation done

111
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 3: for the Calves. Yeah, and also for the Guardians all

112
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 3: played through it. Yeah, that certainly would be if that

113
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 3: is the direction this ultimately goes. And that's the other thing.

114
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 3: None of this is finished, right There has been talk

115
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 3: of renovating Cleveland brown Stadium. If that's the way that

116
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 3: it goes, then the Browns certainly believe they can stay

117
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 3: in the building while the renovations are being done over

118
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 3: the course of a few seasons. If it is not,

119
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 3: then we have a whole nother discussion that we'll see

120
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 3: to take place down the line. But that's kind of

121
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 3: the discussion. Everybody knows that First Energy Stadium is in

122
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 3: need of a renovation. If it's going to remain Cleveland

123
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 3: Brown Stadium, I'm sorry. If that's where the Browns are

124
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 3: going to continue to play, it needs to be renovated.

125
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 3: So that's really what they're looking at. And you know,

126
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 3: the development of that downtown area of the waterfront and

127
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 3: all the grass and the walking, and that's something that

128
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 3: has been discussed. It's not new. But the one part

129
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 3: that has everybody up in arms, and the only part

130
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 3: that really would be even newsworthy, was a part that

131
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 3: was erroneous and fallacious in nature, and that is that

132
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 3: the Browns were going to be It is like a fallacy.

133
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 2: I thought it came out different.

134
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 3: It didn't. It was with an a phuh fair fair nonetheless, irregardless, irregardless,

135
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 3: no o either. The bottom line is the Browns are

136
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 3: going to be playing in clean Brown Stadium.

137
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like it's just amazing, Like I was getting

138
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 2: all of this stuff, you know from down there, you know,

139
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 2: wanting me, wanting to run by the stuff, And I'm like,

140
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 2: it just seems so implausible that an organization would take

141
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 2: three seasons worth impossible for three seasons of home games

142
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 2: and take them somewhere else, Like for three seasons, what

143
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 2: are you building? I mean, like, there's just no way

144
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,559
Speaker 2: that you would ever do something like that. So that

145
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 2: that was always the part of it that as soon

146
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 2: as I saw that, I paid no more attention to it.

147
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 2: None at that point.

148
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, what nothing, I'm just smiling.

149
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's close.

150
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 3: It wasn't that close in the vicinity, but it's a

151
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 3: word I'm aware. But it was a It wasn't like

152
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 3: we're storming the beaches with your man winners.

153
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 2: All of that was factual and something that did happen.

154
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: Although he didn't storm the beaches. He came out of

155
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 2: a kit that's right out of out of a plane,

156
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 2: paratrooped in if then stormed and then stormed and took

157
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 2: out tactical positioning as his illustrated and band of brothers,

158
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: which is fantastic. So we're waiting on the chief who's

159
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:40,040

00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 3: throw his hat.

167
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 2: In the ring one day, but if he wanted.

168
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that. I'm excited for him. It's cool

169
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 3: that everybody's back. But like you said, it's April. Yeah,

170
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 3: you can't play it until September.

171
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tough.

172
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 3: It's snowing.

173
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 2: There was snow on roofs this morning. Yeah, there were

174
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 2: brisk It.

175
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 3: Was eighty five on Saturday, No big deal.

176
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 2: Saturday night. Tuesday lacrosse and shorts and T shirts. Oh yeah,

177
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 2: how was last night? Last Oh it was unbelievable because

178
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 2: it was windy too. Of it was windy side sleet

179
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 2: rain and it was in the high thirties. I mean

180
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 2: it was burrutal, burrutal. Bet I even had NBC had

181
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 2: the surgical gloves on under the lacrosse mits and it

182
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 2: was still just brutal. I mean it was I want

183
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 2: I was you know, contemplating starting a fire in a

184
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 2: barrel like That's kind of where I was. That was

185
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 2: my mentality towards it. Just to circle back around on

186
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 2: the on the stadium stuff. There is an opportunity here, Yeah,

187
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 2: from a dome perspective. And this is me talking. This

188
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 2: isn't scores, this is nothing. There is not a dome

189
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 2: in this state.

190
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 3: There should be.

191
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 2: And with that, with a dome comes the following. First

192
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 2: of all, most importantly, perfect climate control for elite offensive

193
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 2: football of which you're trying to build. Start there. From

194
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 2: your own customer standpoint, it's pretty beneficial because every game

195
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 2: is seventy degrees and we can talk all day about

196
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 2: how much we love the elements. I saw the game

197
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 2: on what was a Christmas Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Eve dreadful.

198
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 2: No not, you don't, because there were a lot of empties.

199
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 2: And yet, mister Zigura, when.

200
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 3: You feel that you've assembled a very very good football team,

201
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 3: especially one that's centered around passing the football, you want

202
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 3: to eliminate variables and allow your talent to shine through

203
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 3: and win.

204
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 2: That is why if you play a college football national

205
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 2: championship or a super Bowl, you look for perfect climate.

206
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 2: They don't play a lot of Super Bowls in Buffalo

207
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 2: because they want it to take the variables out. No,

208
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 2: they want to know who's the best team. Where are

209
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 2: we going to get the more pristine conditions. That's exactly

210
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 2: the idea, so that those first and foremost, but then

211
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 2: beyond that, the reciprocal part of it. There's so much

212
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 2: because you're talking about, as you like, as you said

213
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 2: many times, WrestleMania's you're talking about Final fours, you're talking

214
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 2: about Super Bowls, you're talking about Big Ten championship games.

215
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 2: You're talking about Ohio State football home playoff games in

216
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 2: the state of Ohio. If there is not a dome

217
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 2: in the state of Ohio by the time and there

218
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 2: won't be by the time the playoff comes into effect

219
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 2: in a couple of years. In college football, Ohio State

220
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 2: will play home football games in the state of Indiana.

221
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 2: In the college Football Playoff, they will go to Indy

222
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 2: and play Think about that. Think about how a two

223
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 2: set is to take Ohio State, the pride of Ohio

224
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 2: and go play them in Indy because there's no place

225
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 2: in the state to play them. And the same would

226
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 2: be true a Big Ten championship games. There's so many

227
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 2: things that they're comes with so much money, there worth

228
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 2: so much and there's such a benefit to the local community,

229
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 2: to the local area, and it's and in this instance,

230
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 2: you would own the state. And what you get when

231
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 2: you own the state of Ohio from a dome perspective,

232
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 2: is you get a Ohio State football because they're going

233
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 2: to be playing in a dome in the College Football

234
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 2: Playoff and in the Big Ten Championship game they already do.

235
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 2: They go play it in India every year. That thing

236
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 2: could be moved and you could play it somewhere where

237
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 2: you build a dome in the state of Ohio.

238
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 7: Period.

239
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 2: So it's beyond just the primary is the benefits for us.

240
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 2: The secondary though, is so far reaching in terms of

241
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 2: the benefit it would have for the state. I mean,

242
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 2: when you trickle down and the benefit of Ohio State football,

243
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 2: that's a pretty big trickle down.

244
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 3: It's a huge trickle down, and it is we know

245
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 3: the benefits are enormous. It obviously requires a great deal

246
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 3: of financing and collaboration between the team and the city,

247
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 3: but you would hope that at some point that that

248
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 3: is something that can be worked on and agreed upon

249
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 3: because it as you said, it makes so much sense.

250
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 3: And I think for the city of Cleveland, you've got

251
00:11:55,080 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 3: the convention center, you've got the hotel infrastructure to host

252
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 3: massive events.

253
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Yes, you can host the Final Four

254
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 2: and you're sleep here, right, So.

255
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 3: That's worth WrestleMania. They just didn't. I think for the

256
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 3: city of la or the Los Angeles region, over the

257
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 3: weekend generate something like over fifty million dollars. So that's

258
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 3: a ton of money that comes into your town for

259
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 3: a weekend. So if you can have one or two

260
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 3: of those events a year, and what you're talking about,

261
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 3: see that's the difference WrestleMania, super Bowl. Those happens once

262
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 3: in a great while. What you're talking about is something

263
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 3: with Ohio State that is every year.

264
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 2: That could be theoretically that could be yearly years where

265
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 2: Ohio State would host a home playoff game up here.

266
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 3: Not to mention, as you mentioned, because they're going to

267
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 3: twelve Buny Championships.

268
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're going to twelve, they could go to sixteen.

269
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 2: That's the next logical step is they'll go to sixteen

270
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 2: teams on the playoff. They're going to twelve.

271
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 3: I'd like a fourteen team you know why fourteen I don't.

272
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 3: It reminds me of WrestleMania four, the great WrestleMania four

273
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 3: tournament notes. Well, what's cool about fourteen is you get

274
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 3: the top two seeds. There's still something that fourteen reminds

275
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 3: of four. Russell MANA four which was and.

276
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 2: There was a fourteen team playoff.

277
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 3: It was a fourteen man tournament for the belt Man Turney. Yeah,

278
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 3: so your top two seeds got buys into the second round.

279
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 2: Okay, who were the two seeds who did one in

280
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 2: two seed in russe.

281
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 3: I guess is maybe Hogan And it wasn't Hogan and

282
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 3: Andre because they ended up decueuing each other. The finals

283
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 3: was the Macho Man Randy Savage against the million dollar Man,

284
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 3: Ted dB.

285
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 2: That was the finals.

286
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 3: Yeah wow, and they that's when they crowned the Macho Man.

287
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 3: And then why do you.

288
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 2: Think in retrospect, as you're getting to that, why do

289
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 2: you think Hogan was so popular then? Because he was,

290
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 2: but he wasn't the most interesting.

291
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 3: All right, So here was the bracket.

292
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 2: It's like as little kids when we would play wrestling, No,

293
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 2: I was no one was ever wanting to be Hogan

294
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 2: really no.

295
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 3: No, Okay, so Hulk and Andre got buys to the

296
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 3: second round, but then wrestled each other. That's what it was.

297
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 4: Okay.

298
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 3: Then you had Hacksaw Jim Duggan against a million dollar man,

299
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 3: the Rock Don Morocco against Dino Bravo.

300
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 4: Wow, I don't remember him.

301
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 3: Dino Bravo, Oh man was good.

302
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 7: Uh.

303
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 3: You had Ricky the Dragon Steamboat against Greg the Hammer.

304
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 3: Valentine had an interesting look. He did have an interesting

305
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 3: look to say the very least. Uh. Then you had

306
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 3: the Macho Man against the natural butcher Reid Okay Bam

307
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 3: Bam Bigelow against the One Man Gang yep. And then

308
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 3: Jake the Snake Roberts against Ravishing. Rick Rude and Dbiassi

309
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 3: came out of the Hogan. Hogan and Andre got themselves

310
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 3: as qualified, so they didn't go on. Dbiassi ended up

311
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 3: coming out of that side, Macha out of the other,

312
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 3: and the macho Man, Randy Savage won the championship.

313
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 2: So that so he held that until Hogan.

314
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 3: The megapowers explode explode.

315
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, yep.

316
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: And then never's near it again, is he? Because then

317
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: Warrior comes in and then he's kind of on the

318
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 2: back burn.

319
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 3: Warrior wins it. At six. I think seven Hogan gets

320
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 3: it back over maybe sergeants slaughter Well.

321
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 2: Warrior disappeared for after the right. I don't know if

322
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 2: you fell out of favor or what the deal was,

323
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 2: but he fell out. He kind of was the off

324
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 2: the grid there for a minute.

325
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, baby, But there it is. It's a good

326
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 3: fourteen person bracket though, So if you wouldn't like it

327
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 3: that way, you would split out.

328
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 2: Now you'd go top two spys and then you go

329
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 2: one through twelve. You'd see exactly well either way you're

330
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 2: looking at one or two. When they go to a

331
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 2: fourteen or more likely a sixteen team playoff, you could

332
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 2: be talking about two home playoff games in the region

333
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 2: in your stadium right yearly, So I don't know. To me,

334
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 2: that seems like that. That feels like a win for

335
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 2: everybody across the board, And honestly, it feels like basically generational,

336
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 2: like it's something that would be part of this area forever, forever.

337
00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 2: You're always going to be a home to those days.

338
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 2: Look much Indies benefited before they built Lucas Oil. It

339
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 2: wasn't like anybody's like, okay, we got to go to Indy.

340
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 3: Think of all stuff. It's been an indie. Think of

341
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 3: all the stuff that's been at Ford Field.

342
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, it's it's.

343
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 6: Kind of a no brainer.

344
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 7: Nope.

345
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 2: All right, So so I believe I had that allegedly,

346
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 2: chief allegedly. I believe I had that allegedly. Why allegedly?

347
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 4: Now?

348
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 2: But it's not here. We got we got coach coming up,

349
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 2: the motto of the hour. We got other things going on.

350
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 2: We can't do this forever.

351
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 6: You want to take it quick? Do you want to

352
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 6: take a break right now?

353
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 2: I think it's smart to take a break.

354
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 6: Why don't we tell you where we're at?

355
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 2: Then we got coach in fifteen minutes.

356
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 6: Well, Coach might be before that, so then.

357
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 2: We'll then we'll do that. Then let's take a quick

358
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 2: time out. You will hear from coach on this show.

359
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 2: That's definitive. You will hear from Deshaun watching on the

360
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 2: show in that studio, I believe maybe Cleveland Browns Daily

361
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 2: eight fifty ESPN Cleveland, All right, let's go right to

362
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 2: the podium here in Cleveland Browns Daily and Coach Tafanski

363
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 2: no time.

364
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 8: It's it's about getting foundational knowledge of our systems, and

365
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 8: you really have to start at square one. If you're

366
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 8: going to build on top of you gotta be real

367
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 8: sound and what you're doing. So that's really how we

368
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 8: focused this offseason program in these first few days and

369
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 8: these first few weeks. It just really starting at the

370
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 8: at the basic, starting with with early meetings, and we

371
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 8: really it's it's onboarding week. We're not just jumping right

372
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 8: into the football. We want to talk to each player,

373
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 8: talk to them individually about what they can get better at,

374
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 8: and then dive into the nitty gritty and that's what

375
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 8: we're doing with these with this time in the classroom.

376
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,360
Speaker 8: So with that, I will take any questions.

377
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 9: And Deshaun was just then and described last year as

378
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 9: a whirlwind and how it's kind of a day and

379
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 9: night difference from where he was last year. Does that

380
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 9: feel that way to you that there's kind of a

381
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 9: freshness to this given all the circumstances of last season.

382
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that's fair to say, Tom, And I

383
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 8: think you know, for every player, things change year to year.

384
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 8: Teams change year to year. We talk about that, and

385
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 8: you know, you have new faces in this building, you

386
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 8: have new coaches, new players, so year to year just

387
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 8: feels so different. And then certainly for Deshaun to have

388
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 8: that sea he's inner under his belt and those experiences

389
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 8: and be able to learn from everything that's happened last

390
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 8: year into the past. I think he'll be a better

391
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 8: player for it. I think we'll all be better for

392
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 8: for everything we've been through.

393
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 10: Could you address the Perim Winfield situation first?

394
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 4: Is here? Will he remain a member of the team?

395
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 7: Is he here or is he in Houston?

396
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 10: And just going forward with.

397
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 7: Him out of each reel?

398
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think as you can imagine, Tony, I won't

399
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 8: get into who's here on a day to day basis

400
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 8: that type of thing. It's a voluntary program with any

401
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 8: of our players. Listen, I want them to be safe

402
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,199
Speaker 8: when they're not in this building. I want them to be,

403
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 8: you know, making sure that they're following all you know

404
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 8: rules outside of this building and making sure that they're

405
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 8: they're being safe in the community. And and in this

406
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 8: particular instance, we'll get gather all the information that we

407
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 8: need to and and and monitor it and that type

408
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 8: of thing. But I'm not ready to go past that

409
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 8: other than to tell you taking all of this in

410
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 8: as we go, remember of the team.

411
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 11: Yes, Amari said, he handed the corn muscle surgery February.

412
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 11: When do you expect him to be able to do stepiatraphy.

413
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's a good question, Scott. We'll we'll take it

414
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 8: slow with him. He's feeling good, you know, but we're

415
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 8: not I'm not on the field with those guys for

416
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 8: another couple of weeks. O. Tas aren't into until May.

417
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 8: So he's somebody that you will we will not rush

418
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 8: him back to the field. Uh, We're gonna make sure

419
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 8: that we take our time and utilize all these days

420
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 8: to get his body right, get his mind right. But uh,

421
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 8: when that is, I'm not I can't say exactly able to.

422
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 12: Heal his foot without surgery or did.

423
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 8: He have a perceive He did not have surgery. So

424
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 8: he's in rehabit as we speak as well.

425
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 12: Take him a little while to ramp up.

426
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's he's ramping up. He's he's doing a good

427
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 8: job down the wait in the training room. He's doing

428
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 8: a good job.

429
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 10: Message to you deliver on the first day. Yes, Is

430
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 10: it a set of tone type.

431
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 8: Of meeting, Yeah, I mean it's it is April, so

432
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 8: you do have some time until that first game rolls around.

433
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 8: But you know, yesterday it was really the first thing

434
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 8: that we're going to do is the twenty twenty three Browns.

435
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 8: That's day one. Again, it's voluntary. We want this to

436
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 8: be a place where the guys can come and get

437
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 8: a lot of work done in a safe, competitive, fun environment.

438
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,719
Speaker 8: But I don't think they need new Rockney speeches in April.

439
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 8: I think they need to understand what's what they need

440
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 8: to do day to day, what each player needs to

441
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 8: get better at.

442
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 7: I think that's such a major part of April.

443
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 8: Early parts of these programmers find something to get better at,

444
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 8: whether that's mentally or physically.

445
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 13: You sort of thought that.

446
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,959
Speaker 12: The Greg Newsom situation would be much ado about nothing.

447
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 12: Are you kind of happy to hear him, you know,

448
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 12: talk about coming back in with the great new attitude

449
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 12: and be excited and that's not an issue.

450
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

451
00:20:54,080 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 8: I mean, as you know, Mary kay, I, I don't

452
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:05,959
Speaker 8: put much stock in social media. Sorry, guys, but you know,

453
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 8: I think Greg's in a great place. I think he's

454
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 8: excited like all our guys are. And you take each

455
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 8: situation as it comes.

456
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 14: Kevin, how much different will your offense be with a

457
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 14: life of more at a Marquees good?

458
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think every year, you better be different, you know,

459
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 8: I think, Jeff, there's things that we've already gone over

460
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 8: with the team that are going to be different.

461
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 7: And then it's a.

462
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 8: Matter of carving out roles for each of our players.

463
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 8: You mentioned Elijah Marquis, guys that are new to our system.

464
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 8: We got to find out what they do well. I

465
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 8: have a pretty good feel for it and understanding just

466
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 8: based on the players and the tape and that type

467
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 8: of thing. But I think part of our job as

468
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 8: coaches is to use this spring to find out what

469
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 8: really clicks for our players, the skill guys, what clicks

470
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 8: for the quarterback, and then you streamline all of that

471
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,160
Speaker 8: into your offense going into the season.

472
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 2: Along those lines.

473
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 15: How well worn out as the whiteboard gotten this offseason?

474
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, and you know, honestly, there's no shortage

475
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 8: of plays. You'll never run out of place. And I

476
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 8: think for us as coaches, you spend so much time

477
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 8: in the offseason studying other teams, studying yourself, studying college football.

478
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 8: Great ideas come from all levels of football, high school, college.

479
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 8: I don't you know that they're all good plays. I

480
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 8: think it ultimately becomes what can your players own? What

481
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 8: can your quarterback own, what can your receivers own? What

482
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 8: do they what becomes second nature for them. So while

483
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 8: we could draw up a thousand plays and we have it,

484
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 8: really it's important that you try to drill down for

485
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 8: your players and give them things that they can go practice,

486
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 8: things that they can get really good at. You watch

487
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 8: look around the league and sometimes there's beauty and the

488
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 8: simplicity of what people do. So you don't want to

489
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 8: bog your players down with x'es and ose.

490
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 10: Aside from what happened to win, just second year player

491
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 10: in a position of dire need, what did Schwart seeing

492
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 10: him and was he excited about working with him?

493
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 4: Yeah?

494
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 8: I think you know, I don't want to sing single

495
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 8: anybody out. I think Jim's excited about a lot of

496
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 8: guys along that front, some of the veterans we're able

497
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 8: to add in that room, some guys that have played

498
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 8: meaningful snaps.

499
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 7: I think we have a variety.

500
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 8: Of talent in that defensive line room, and I think

501
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 8: we're excited about it. Since it's your fourth year, your

502
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 8: fourth new beginning actually because a coach.

503
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 4: But anyway, are you.

504
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 15: Doing anything different now than you did last year?

505
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 14: Was a normal year?

506
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 6: Anything different in this.

507
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 7: Time of year.

508
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we'll structure.

509
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 7: Yeah.

510
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 8: I mean every year you're looking at your program and

511
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 8: what you can do better. Maybe what you know, maybe

512
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 8: we did too much meeting time there, We need more,

513
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 8: more time in the walk and walk through here, we

514
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 8: need to in seven on seven. We want to hit

515
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 8: this more. So you're constantly tinkering with that. But the

516
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 8: structure of what we do will remain largely intact. Obviously,

517
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 8: we're gonna be out there one less week, so cutting

518
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 8: off the last week of the off season program.

519
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 7: Is new for us. With that Hall of Fame game coming.

520
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 10: Three off seasons have been uniquely challenging prior to this

521
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 10: during with COVID, Does this feel normal so far?

522
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 11: How much different is it with so much less uncertainty?

523
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean obviously that plays into it.

524
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 8: I mean, you know that year to year you got

525
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 8: to deal with things, and that was one of the

526
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 8: things that we had to work through with repetitions and

527
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 8: getting both guys ready.

528
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 7: So that was unique.

529
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 8: But there's always gonna be something like Tony tried to

530
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 8: get me to allude to, and you just gotta be

531
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 8: ready to roll with the punches.

532
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 12: Anything less than the playoffs unacceptable to you this year

533
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 12: and probably everybody.

534
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 4: In the building.

535
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 8: I mean, I think every building, Mary Kay, I hope

536
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 8: all thirty two clubs would feel like playoffs or you know,

537
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 8: are a goal every single season. I can promise you

538
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 8: thirty two clubs are going to tell their teams, like

539
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 8: we are going to that your goals win the Super Bowl.

540
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 8: I mean, that's that has to be your goal every

541
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 8: single year. So I don't think that changes year to year.

542
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 14: I know it's plays in the building, but what's kind

543
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 14: of in the feedback you've gotten for the defensive guys

544
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 14: about gym and you know, his style, his scheme and

545
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 14: everything like that.

546
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, I would say it's early.

547
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 8: I think a lot of this is getting to know

548
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 8: their teammates, some of their new teammates. But obviously, you know,

549
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 8: having coach Schwartz in the room yesterday and just his

550
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 8: his vision for our defense and how we're going to

551
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 8: play and talking through it with each one of the

552
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 8: position groups, I think is an exciting part of what

553
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 8: this offseason is. It's getting to know coach Swartz and

554
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 8: his style and how it's different, how sometimes it's maybe

555
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 8: a little bit the same, but how it's different where

556
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 8: the guys fit into it. So I think all that

557
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 8: is exciting when you when you talk about year one

558
00:25:58,840 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 8: for that defense.

559
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 14: Personally, I mean, he didn't really have a bunch of

560
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 14: a relationship with him before he got here. What's it

561
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 14: been like the last couple of months to get to

562
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 14: know him personally?

563
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 7: Yeah, Coach has been great.

564
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 8: Like I told you guys when we hired coach, I mean,

565
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 8: in a lot of ways, we're very similar in terms

566
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 8: of our background, kind of where we're from, those type

567
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 8: of things. We see the game very very similarly. You know,

568
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 8: I'm very very blessed to have Jim Schwartz. You know,

569
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 8: I walk out my office, I got Coach Schwartz on

570
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 8: the left, I got Bill Callahan on the right. I mean,

571
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 8: I'm blessed to have the wealth and knowledge, the wealth

572
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 8: of experience with those two guys.

573
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 7: Kevin, where is jackiem Graham as here? Has recovery?

574
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 4: He's here?

575
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, And I mean are you hoping that he'll kind

576
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 8: of slide into that primary retard role?

577
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 7: Yeah?

578
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 8: You know, disappointed for Jaquem last season in that injury.

579
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 8: I know he was, but he has rehabbed like crazy.

580
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 8: He's determined, he's doing a great job in the training

581
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 8: room to get better.

582
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 7: So he's of one mind and and.

583
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 8: I appreciate that he's a pro. So we'll see. You know,

584
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 8: just got to you can't rush those things, Achilles. You

585
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 8: got to just make sure that we're being safe and

586
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 8: appropriate in his rehabit.

587
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 7: He's doing a really nice job, Achilles.

588
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 14: And does that.

589
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 12: Change your mind about these guys doing sort of.

590
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 7: The small group.

591
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 8: No, Yeah, I mean that's unfortunate. I feel terrible for Mike.

592
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 8: I mean, above anything else, I just feel bad for

593
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 8: the kid. I mean, it's it's always disappointing when when

594
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 8: you lose a guy to an.

595
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 7: Injury like that. But you know, that's part of part.

596
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 8: Of playing football is practicing football and weight training and

597
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 8: running and those type of things. And he didn't do

598
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 8: anything wrong. I know we did anything wrong. He's just

599
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 8: very very unfortunate.

600
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 16: Kevin. I'm mean to know all this as voluntary right now,

601
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 16: but when you have, you know, all the new pieces

602
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 16: that you guys have, especially on defense, coming in, I

603
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 16: guess how how much can be accomplished during this voluntary

604
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 16: portion of the off season.

605
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think a lot, Ashley.

606
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 8: I think, you know, we really we spend a lot

607
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 8: of time to make sure that we're very hyper efficient

608
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 8: with our meeting time with these players. We want to

609
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 8: make sure that what we're setting out to cover each

610
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,439
Speaker 8: day is concise. We're trying to keep it light to

611
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 8: keep them engaged, because you're right, it's voluntary, so we

612
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 8: want them to want to be here. We want them

613
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 8: to want to be around their teammates, so that and

614
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 8: then we can cover ground when it comes to offense,

615
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 8: defense or special teams.

616
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 6: There's always another way of a free agency.

617
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 10: To you as the coach, how important is it to

618
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 10: get guys in as soon as possible to participate in

619
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 10: the offseason program.

620
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think you've got to be flexible there, Tony.

621
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 8: I think that roster is constantly churning. I think back

622
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 8: to the season where you may get a guy showing

623
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 8: up on Monday and you got to get he's dressing

624
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 8: on Sunday, so you got to ramp them up quickly.

625
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 8: So as coaches, you're always in that mindset of we'll

626
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 8: get anybody ready and however much time you give us.

627
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 8: But we're excited about the guys that are in here

628
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 8: and working in a.

629
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 15: Couple of weeks, you know, once again, it's no longer

630
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 15: the centerpiece of your offseason. There's no first round pick

631
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 15: that's going to be coming in here to.

632
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 6: Be like the missing piece.

633
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 15: Just how is how is that?

634
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:10,959
Speaker 4: Uh?

635
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 15: I guess effect that maybe the input that you and

636
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 15: your staff gives Andrew is you know, they're they're looking

637
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 15: at guys round three and later.

638
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't think it affects our process at all.

639
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 8: When it comes to the coach's role in the draft process,

640
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 8: Andrew does a really really good job with taking everyone's opinion.

641
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 8: I think he runs our meetings efficiently. We spend a

642
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 8: lot of time on guys that maybe we say see differently,

643
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 8: and we hear each other out and we h you know,

644
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 8: put the tape back on if you need to. So

645
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 8: I don't think the lack of those top picks has

646
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 8: altered our process really at all.

647
00:29:54,880 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 15: Couples a lot done free agency trade, Is that the

648
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 15: plan or surprise there's.

649
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 7: So much business was done?

650
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, Jim, I think it's kind of like a season,

651
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 8: and I think that's you know, that's our off My

652
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 8: off season is Andrews in season, and I think, uh,

653
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 8: he's always has a plan and you gotta be ready

654
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 8: to adjust. Sometimes trades materialized when you didn't think they

655
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 8: were going to, and and free agency certain guys become available.

656
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 8: So uh certain you Andrew went in the season, as

657
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 8: you can imagine, with with a strong plan. But I

658
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 8: thought he did a nice job with the help of

659
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 8: the staff, his his group of finding opportunities to add

660
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 8: good players. And it came in a variety of signing.

661
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 8: Some some of them are are you know, big dollar signing,

662
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 8: some not so much. I think you got to be

663
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 8: ready to to to work really throughout all of free agency,

664
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 8: and it's not really only about that just that first

665
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 8: and second day. So I thought Andrew really did a

666
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 8: nice job of having that plan but then being ready

667
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 8: both that first week the second week into this draft season,

668
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 8: being ready to just find opportunities to make our team better.

669
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 14: Kevin, you talk about g Okay, what about Sioni and Anthony?

670
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 8: You know, any update on their progress, No update on

671
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 8: anybody's injury rehab other than to say everybody's doing a

672
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 8: great job.

673
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 7: Everybody's doing what they're supposed to do.

674
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 8: They're they're coming along, and then I'll update you guys

675
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 8: as we get closer to getting out in the field.

676
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 8: Everybody's rehabbing kind of on their I don't want to

677
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 8: get into who's here and who's not here.

678
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 7: But they're all rehabing. They're all doing exactly what they're

679
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 7: supposed to do.

680
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 12: I'm heery on you guys do have big goals and

681
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 12: plans for this season.

682
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 13: Just sort of in general terms, will you have, you know,

683
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 13: just a very low tolerance for off the field indiscretions

684
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 13: and behavior this year.

685
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,239
Speaker 8: Back in the champ Yeah, you know, Mary kay as

686
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 8: you can imagine, like we constantly talk to our players

687
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 8: about making great decisions outside our building that will never change.

688
00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 8: It's something that will remind our guys now, well.

689
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 7: In the off season program.

690
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 8: I'll remind him when the off season program ends and

691
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 8: we send everybody off for a brief respite before training camp.

692
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 8: I mean, you're constantly talking to your guys about being safe.

693
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 8: So that's where I would I would think about it. Okay,

694
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 8: thanks guys.

695

Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns Daily brought to you by bally Bet coming

705
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: soon to Ohio on eight fifty ESPN Cleveland.

706
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 2: A little bit of an NFL trade here, Alan Robinson

707
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 2: to the Steelers is happening.

708
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 3: And I'm a big Alan Robinson guy. Yeah, Unfortunately, it

709
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 3: just feels like his best days are are a little

710
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 3: bit behind him at this point. But for the Steelers,

711
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 3: you think about they've got he actually fits a nice

712
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 3: need and gives him a pretty good three wide receiver

713
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 3: set because you've got Pickings who can fly, You've got

714
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 3: Deontay Johnson who could be shifty inside or outside. And

715
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 3: now I think Robinson can be the guy that kind

716
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 3: of holds thing down on third downs for you and

717
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 3: makes some good plays. Now, the tough part is you

718
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 3: go back to nineteen and twenty ninety eight, eleven forty

719
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 3: seven and seven, twenty one hundred and two, twelve, fifty

720
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 3: and six. But the last two seasons twelve games in

721
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one thirty eight catches, four hundred and ten yards,

722
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 3: one touchdown, ten point eight yards per catch in Chicago,

723
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 3: and twenty twenty two with the Rams, he had three

724
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 3: hundred and thirty nine yards on thirty three catches, three touchdowns,

725
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 3: ten point three yards per kik catch. His yards per

726
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 3: game the last two seasons right at thirty four consistently,

727
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 3: So those are the two lowest of his career. He's

728
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 3: a stud. It was you know, twenty fifteen fourteen hundred yards,

729
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,399
Speaker 3: fourteen touchdowns, but again long time ago, only two years

730
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 3: removed from great production. But the last two years have

731
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 3: been pretty indicative of a player that is in decline.

732
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:23,479
Speaker 3: Under eleven yards per catch, under four hundred and fifty yards,

733
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 3: under four touchdowns both season.

734
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 2: So one of those guys who as role player though, Yeah,

735
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:28,919
Speaker 2: I think he's one of those guys that you'll look

736
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 2: back on and go He's one of those what if guys, Yes,

737
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 2: like if the situation were different, if he were drafted

738
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 2: into a situation like Michael Thomas was drafted into in

739
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 2: the Saints. There's no doubt in my mind that because

740
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 2: he has everything.

741
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 4: That you'd want.

742
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 3: He never played with a good quarterback or ever in

743
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 3: his entire career. He's a guy that I wanted bad

744
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 3: here with the Browns, bad bad.

745
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 2: Which draft is that, like.

746
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:53,479
Speaker 3: Uh, twenty fourteen, okay, twenty fourteen. Yeah, I wanted that guy,

747
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 3: very very bad. Yeah, we didn't get him, unfortunately, but

748
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 3: he good career, three thousand and yard seasons. But again

749
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 3: it feels like in a little bit of a decline here.

750
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 3: But I think he fits what they need.

751
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 2: Well, here's what I mean. You hate to I mean,

752
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 2: let's just they just win over there. It just sucks,

753
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 2: but they do. I don't believe in Kenny Pickett, but

754
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 2: one thing that I do believe in is they are

755
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 2: putting They're doing their best to put him in a

756
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 2: position to succeed. So they're giving targets. They should have

757
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 2: a decent run game. They've got draft picks that they

758
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 2: can apply to various positions. If he is good, they'll

759
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 2: put him in a position to make to see if

760
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 2: he is.

761
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 3: They've got now three good receivers, Friarmouth and Nash, so

762
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 3: they've got nice Yeah, a lot of weapons. You know

763
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 3: what I think Alan Robinson at this point is and

764
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 3: I'm curious to get Gibbet's take on it, but this

765
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 3: is who he reminds me of. Right now. Remember when

766
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 3: we got Miles Austin in twenty nineteen, sure, I remember,

767
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 3: oh yeah, And you know he was at that point

768
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 3: a couple of years removed from being, you know, a

769
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 3: stud in Dallas. His best years were nine to ten.

770
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 3: He had nine hundred and forty yards and twelve and

771
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 3: then he comes to us in fourteen and the numbers

772
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,879
Speaker 3: aren't gaudy. Twelve games, forty seven catches, five hundred sixty

773
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 3: two touchdowns, but he extended so many drives. Is like,

774
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 3: we have third and seven Money Miles. We call it

775
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 3: what his nickname was, his money Miles. I feel like

776
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 3: he could be a Money Miles type of a player. Yeah,

777
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 3: for them where on a third and six, third and

778
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 3: seven he's the one who finds a saft spot and

779
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 3: makes a contested catch, gets first downs and keeps the

780
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 3: chains moving.

781
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 2: Dated a Kardashian, right, Miles. He didn't Miles Austin date

782
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 2: Kim Kardashian.

783
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 3: We'll say, I think so. He was a handsome fellow.

784
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,240
Speaker 2: One surprised I think so when he was a Dallas.

785
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 3: That feels like that would add up. Yeah, uh huh huh,

786
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 3: you had that right.

787
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 6: It's a good poll by you.

788
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

789
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,879
Speaker 2: I haven't heard his happy again a long time. Yeah.

790
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 3: They eventually called it quits, citing distance is the reason

791
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 3: for their breakup. There you go, and he was most

792
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 3: recently a Jets coach. But I think I think you

793
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 3: may have gotten in a little.

794
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 2: That'd have been something if like both the Kardashian two

795
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 2: of the Kardashian daughters were coming here, like if he

796
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 2: I don't know if she was dating him when he

797
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 2: was here, but if they were both coming here, because

798
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 2: would Tristan had been here at that time?

799
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 4: Yeah?

800
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, so like could they both have been like flying

801
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 2: private from.

802
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 3: So I was right about this, Okay. Miles Austin was

803
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 3: suspended in December for a year for violating the NFL's

804
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 3: gambling policy. Oh really, it had been investigating Austin for

805
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 3: a while, so sold ESPN after found out he'd been

806
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 3: gambling on sports. Not on NFL or college football, but

807
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 3: he had been betting on sports. Yea mobile account on

808
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 3: table games and non NFL professional sports is appealing s much.

809
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 2: I mean table games. He can't table game it. I

810
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 2: guess you can go play some bakara.

811
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 3: I think it was online, maybe not some online blackjack

812
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 3: or something like that.

813
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 2: Huh okay, all right, so there you go, way back

814
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 2: in the day. Oh, I have something for you. You excited.

815
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 2: You know you're familiar with Bill Bender.

816
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, right, of course, Sporting News.

817
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've had him on so many times, on many things,

818
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 2: A great many things, A great many things. He said,

819
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 2: he said something to me this morning that I was

820
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 2: I couldn't help but be excited about. So Quinn Ewers,

821
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 2: who's that kid who's at Ohio station.

822
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 4: Now at Texas?

823
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, the comp he dropped for Quinn ears Jeff George

824
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 2: without the attitude, Hold on a second, arm talent.

825
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 3: Come on, stop it, arm talent. Stop it until I

826
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 3: hear somebody say that Quinn yours has the best arm

827
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 3: that's ever been on the planet. That's not a fair comparison.

828
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 2: He's got a hose. I mean the kid's got a hose,

829
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 2: for sure, he does. I mean it's an easy flick.

830
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 4: I don't know.

831
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 2: I mean I I I was very remember.

832
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 3: I had clipped it.

833
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 2: We heard anybody drop a Jeff George without the attitude right,

834
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 2: without the attitude bender.

835
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:47,439
Speaker 3: Immediately, we need to talk about this. Remember that one

836
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 3: show throw I showed you where he was with the

837
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 3: vikings and the ball like accelerated on the screen. It

838
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,760
Speaker 3: was going faster thirty yards down the field.

839
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, that's what So that's what we got.

840
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 2: I was very excited because I have not heard of

841
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 2: Jeff George, I mean a bend guy in a very

842
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 2: long time.

843
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 6: Why didn't it work out here at Ohio State?

844
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 2: I don't think he was ever engaged. I think he

845
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 2: had name of it. He was a number one recruit

846
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 2: in the country. He had name, image and likeness deals

847
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 2: that the state of Texas would not allow for him

848
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 2: to do. So he graduated early from high school, came

849
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 2: into Ohio State when he should have been a high

850
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 2: school senior, and got the money from the nil and

851
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 2: then was really not engaged at all in Columbus and

852
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,760
Speaker 2: really paid no attention. And he was just really immature.

853
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 2: He was a young kid. And then like his study

854
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 2: habits were just not there at all. But from what

855
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 2: I've heard down there, he's ratcheted up a little bit.

856
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 2: Uh So we'll see. But yeah, that was that's what

857
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 2: I got this morning out of him.

858
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 3: I wonder if he found the lost arc and now

859
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 3: he's got it all together. Looks like people are in

860
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 3: search of it.

861
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 2: A lot of people, lots of people in search of it.

862
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 2: Fantastic and on. If the hat was.

863
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 3: On forget it, forget it, forget.

864
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 2: It, and the hats not too, wouldn't be something too

865
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 2: outlandish with the rest, With all the rest, I think

866
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 2: it would fit relatively.

867
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 3: Well, seamlessly based on it.

868
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, coach at the podium, you ready to unpack it?

869
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, how about it?

870
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 7: Well?

871
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 4: How about it?

872
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 3: Well, it seems like that great job. At the beginning

873
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 3: of the off season program same position as thirty two

874
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 3: other teams quest for the playoffs. I don't think we're

875
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 3: in the same position as I know that. That's you

876
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 3: got to give some coach speak there.

877
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 4: It's something.

878
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 3: You gotta get. And the truth is, this is a

879
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 3: team that has the talent to contend for this division,

880
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 3: to contend for the AFC and needs to do so.

881
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 3: This is a team that needs to be playing for

882
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 3: the AFC North title in December. This is a team

883
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,760
Speaker 3: that needs to be in the playoffs when this season

884
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 3: is over. There's too much talent not.

885
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:00,959
Speaker 4: To be yep.

886
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 3: Period.

887
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's the that's kind of the the thing is,

888
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 2: you know, I understand the idea of I don't want this,

889
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 2: I don't want to become the story.

890
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 4: I understand that.

891
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 2: I get it. When you're a head coach in the NFL,

892
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 2: though you are part of it, you're you are part.

893
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 4: Of the story.

894
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 2: When you talk, there's there's gonna be weight given to it.

895
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 2: And no, we're not the same as Houston. We're not

896
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 2: the same as Carolina. We're not the same as we

897
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 2: you know, we're not even the same as Baltimore. Like

898
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 2: we don't have what Baltimore's got hanging over it with

899
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 2: with the Lamar situation. We're not the same as Pittsburgh

900
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 2: with the Kenny Pikett situation where they're trying to see

901
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 2: if he can be what they drafted him to be.

902
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 2: You're paying your best players. You went out and got

903
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 2: a franchise quarterback at a premium price, and you've got

904
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 2: a roster that you're going into next week's draft without

905
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 2: really Yeah, you need you don't really need anything, Like

906
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 2: to your point, you could put you put made this

907
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 2: play earlier week. You put in a fifty three, made

908
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 2: it yesterday. You put out a fifty three that is

909
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 2: fully formed right now and go play football games.

910
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 7: So no, it is.

911
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:08,760
Speaker 2: It's it's ratcheted up, and I think, honestly like it's okay.

912
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 6: Bill Benders on the hotline for you.

913
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,800
Speaker 2: Oh baby, Bill Bender, this morning's as quick. Wow, You're welcome.

914
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 2: You tell me when you and I were speaking this morning,

915
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 2: you were talking about Quinne Eres, the Texas quarterback, and

916
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 2: your your comp for him was Jeff George. And I

917
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 2: am sitting here next to one of the greatest Jeff Well,

918
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 2: the greatest Jeff George fan of all time, in mister Zigura,

919
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 2: and he would like to discuss with you your comp.

920
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 3: Bill, tell me more. I mean, are we talking this

921
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,399
Speaker 3: as the greatest arm the world's ever seen, because that's

922
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 3: that's where it starts. If we're in the Jeff George stratsphere.

923
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 3: As far as I'm concerned, long arm, it kind of

924
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 3: looks like it, okay, And you know I'm not a quarterback.

925
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:56,399
Speaker 17: You I remember how strong Jeff George's armless, and how

926
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 17: I mean it looked just pretty coming off his hand,

927
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,399
Speaker 17: and when he threw the past the Xavier Worthy over

928
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 17: the weekend. I was like, that kind of looked like

929
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:07,959
Speaker 17: a Jeff George throw. So it's a loose comparasion right now,

930
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 17: and obviously yours generates a lot of discussion, but I

931
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,240
Speaker 17: didn't expect to strike a chord on a CBD today.

932
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 2: Well, I tell you, when you did, you you ought

933
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 2: to pull up the play, put it in your in

934
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 2: your Twitter there and just type Quinnie yours and you'll

935
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,720
Speaker 2: see the throw to Xavier Worthy, who's a highly regarded

936
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 2: receiver at Texas, and the throwing mechanics are there's a

937
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,479
Speaker 2: When you said it this morning, I said, that's pretty good.

938
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 2: I don't know if you know who know. I'm with you, like,

939
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 2: I don't know if like the velocity and all of that.

940
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 2: But I remember when he was in Columbus they were like,

941
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 2: the kid can flat spin it.

942
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 3: Here it is, and just I'm coming in very skeptical. Yep,

943
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,399
Speaker 3: because of my affinity for the great Jeff George. I'm

944
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 3: coming into this very very skeptical. But here we're gonna

945
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 3: we're going to get a look at the play. So

946
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 3: of course it's taking longer than you. Okay, here it is.

947
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 3: He's dropping back and black that looks good their quarterback

948
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 3: jersey in this practice. Yeah, for the Texans. Come on anyway,

949
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 3: when it plays, I'll see it. But so you think

950
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 3: that this is a guy, is he gonna be in

951
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:10,959
Speaker 3: the discussion for the top pick overall when this year's

952
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 3: all said and done.

953
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 17: Bill, Well, when you get into the twenty twenty four quarterbacks,

954
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 17: and I've I've done that already, I've got it like

955
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 17: pre loaded for next week. But I'll tease you with this.

956
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 17: I mean, most people are gonna say Caleb Williams, Drake

957
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 17: May and then three is up for discussion. If Quinn

958
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 17: yours has a big year, I'm already on the arm

959
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 17: strength of talent measurables. Boe just said it the way

960
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 17: he spun it, even in pregame, Right, you know this

961
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,720
Speaker 17: kid can throw the football and they're gonna they're gonna

962
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 17: gravitate toward that. And it sound like everybody got caught

963
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,720
Speaker 17: up in his mullet and his haircut. You have listened

964
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 17: to talk to him, He is pretty chill.

965
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 2: He's just a pretty really yeah.

966
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 17: I mean, who yes, and who could bring in arch

967
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 17: Manning for a recruiting visit and be the guy that

968
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 17: can helps convince arch Manning to come there. I think

969
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 17: there's a lot of good things about Quinn viewers, a

970
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 17: lot of confidence.

971
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 3: Now, sometimes with people that are quiet, they get dubbed

972
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 3: aloof That's what happened to unfortunately to Jeff George. I

973
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:12,879
Speaker 3: don't know why I can't get to play to play.

974
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 3: It's I'm sitting on it. It looks like it's gonna

975
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 3: be great. He's about the forty five. It's gonna be

976
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 3: a really exciting play. I'm excited to see it happen

977
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 3: when it does. But nonetheless, all right, I like this.

978
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 3: This gives me somebody to get excited about. Then, because,

979
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 3: as I said, I'm a Jeff George officionado. I went

980
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 3: down to I was in the Great City of Atlanta

981
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 3: in uh when he led that team to the playoffs.

982
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 3: And then I go down for my freshman year school

983
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 3: at Emory University, and you know, he gets into a

984
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 3: fight with June Jones about three games into the season,

985
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 3: gets like basically tossed off the team in favor of

986
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 3: Bobby Abear, And it was a very sad time for me.

987
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:46,840
Speaker 3: So I never really got to experience the whole Jeff

988
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 3: George experience. Up close and personal. Oh, here we go,

989
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 3: both go. I mean, it's a nice throw.

990
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 2: It's a nice ball.

991
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 3: Jeff George's ball would never have left the screen a

992
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 3: high it would have stayed.

993
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 2: It's a back It's a backfoot throw.

994
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 3: Jeff Georgie to be dropped back to the left and

995
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 3: then spin his hips to the right and on cork

996
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,760
Speaker 3: eighty rd dimes that never went five feet off the round.

997
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:10,919
Speaker 3: He's all of the con become Bill Braski je he's

998
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:15,840
Speaker 3: had an absolute hose. All right, You've intrigued me Bender,

999
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 3: But I'm not ready to bestow the crown of Georgian

1000
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 3: feats on him yet.

1001
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 4: Not yet.

1002
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 2: Hey, Bill, let me ask you this while we have

1003
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:27,320
Speaker 2: you here. Next week, we're gonna see quarterbacks take to

1004
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 2: take them at the top of the draft. Uh, if

1005
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 2: you were, how do you rate those guys? You've seen

1006
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 2: them play as much as anybody. How do you rate

1007
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 2: them going into the NFL in terms of becoming NFL

1008
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:40,240
Speaker 2: players and prospects and eventually franchise players.

1009
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 17: I'm gonna give you a weird answer on the top two.

1010
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:46,840
Speaker 17: If I was my offensive line is the little rough

1011
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 17: I'd probably draft Bryce Young. Ability to extend plays create,

1012
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,359
Speaker 17: and I know that's probably the opposite answer, But if

1013
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:57,839
Speaker 17: I have a little bit of an established team, I'd

1014
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 17: probably go with Stroud because of the accuracy. I think

1015
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 17: that's what's going to carry his NFL career, is his

1016
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 17: ability to be an accurate passer.

1017
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 4: And his size.

1018
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 17: And then the other two I'm not as high on,

1019
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 17: just because I haven't seen enough of Anthony Richardson. We've

1020
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 17: seen one year. We know he put on a show

1021
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 17: on the Combine, but can he be a sixty five

1022
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 17: percent pastor in the NFL.

1023
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 7: I don't know.

1024
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 17: And we'll have the same deal huge arm strength. Will

1025
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 17: Levis will not make the Jeff George comparison. I don't

1026
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:28,360
Speaker 17: want to upset Nathan, but I just think some times

1027
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:31,840
Speaker 17: needed to develop. So I'd go Young Stroud, depending on

1028
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 17: like Stroud fits Indie, Young fits Houston to.

1029
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 3: Me, Yeah, yeah, then Houston blew it.

1030
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, they did blow it. They absolutely blew it.

1031
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 4: At the end.

1032
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 2: Hey, pal uh, today's your anniversary.

1033
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 17: No, yeah, we just got Yeah, we just got back

1034
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 17: from we snuck because, as you know, Bo, we lived

1035
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 17: the life of running around with the kids. We didn't

1036
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 17: have time for dinner tonight. And so we did lunch.

1037
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 2: I like that. I like working that in well. Happy anniversary, buddy,

1038
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 2: and thanks thanks for joining us, for joining us one

1039
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 2: in this case no notice, and hopping on with us.

1040
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:08,879
Speaker 17: Appreciate you anytime, anytime to talk about Jeff George. I'm

1041
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 17: in so thank you day.

1042
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 2: All right, love that the would you is Jeff George's

1043
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:18,839
Speaker 2: arm stronger than Michael vicks vis strongest one. I didn't

1044
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 2: watch as much George as obviously, No, no, no, we've been

1045
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 2: through this. I just in real time. I don't remember

1046
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 2: watching a lot of him play.

1047
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 3: It was different. So Vic had kind of like that

1048
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 3: little like flick and he could he could really spin

1049
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 3: it out there. George would kind of like once it

1050
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:36,879
Speaker 3: left its hand, it just was accelerating all the whole time.

1051
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 3: It didn't necessarily it looks effortless when you see the

1052
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:43,359
Speaker 3: result of the football, but it's the speed at which

1053
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 3: his ball is going, like thirty yards down the field

1054
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 3: that is I've never seen before. Yeah, and still to day.

1055
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 3: And Brett Farv had a cannon.

1056
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 2: Had a big one.

1057
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:56,840
Speaker 3: With the cross bel a cross. Farv though, look like

1058
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 3: he put every ounce of his being into every throw

1059
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 3: he made. The point where like his head like it

1060
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 3: just it wasn't easy. Jeff Georgetow is easy. It's not

1061
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:11,359
Speaker 3: vic easy, but it's a different velocity, if that makes sense.

1062
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 2: Did he win like those NFL when they would do

1063
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 2: the Pro Bowl, like the long throws.

1064
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 3: Skill challenges, he would do that and he would win

1065
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 3: the one where like he was very accurate too when

1066
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 3: he was Sander where you had the blow up plates

1067
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 3: and stuff. Oh yeah, he was very good at that

1068
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 3: in the skills competitions.

1069
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:23,399
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1070
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, watch some of these, I mean, well, in these highlights,

1071
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 3: I just got like, yeah, I was quite pleased watching

1072
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 3: Jeff George do his thing.

1073

1160
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:09,680

1161
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:10,720

Speaker 4: Where there?

1166
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 2: What did you see, like what we like, I have

1167
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:22,359
Speaker 2: to do this culturally? And did it live up to

1168
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:23,439
Speaker 2: what your expectations?

1169
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 4: For sure? Did? I mean just just everything that we've done.

1170
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 4: We had like like a tourist or a tour guide

1171
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 4: that just took us, you know, from place to place,

1172
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 4: and it was just the culture was just it's beautiful.

1173
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 4: The streets were so clean, like you can eat off

1174
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:41,279
Speaker 4: of it. It was. It was very different than where

1175
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:44,840
Speaker 4: we landed after that was New York. So yeah, wow,

1176
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 4: how was the sushi beautiful? It was?

1177
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:51,840
Speaker 3: What was different? What makes it just?

1178
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 4: I think just the environment obviously with the food was amazing,

1179
00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 4: but just like seeing like where like it you know,

1180
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 4: originated from and how like you know they do things there.

1181
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 7: It was.

1182
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 4: It was awesome. It was a great trip.

1183
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 2: Was there a specific role that you had or a

1184
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:12,440
Speaker 2: specific uh sushi dish that you had that stuck with

1185
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 2: you that you never had before that was different.

1186
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:16,880
Speaker 4: I've had a lot of sushi in my time, honestly,

1187
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 4: but I'd say what was shocking to me was we

1188
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 4: ate cow tongue. I mean from the Nigerian descent, you know,

1189
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 4: we eat a lot of crazy things. But I never

1190
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:28,760
Speaker 4: had cow tongue before. And it tasted like bacon.

1191
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:32,800
Speaker 3: So I've had a sandwich, yeah, like a sandwich.

1192
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:37,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we had that on the sandwichwokwtung sandwich.

1193
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:38,840

1194
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:42,839
Speaker 3: member guest tournament at at beachmont On. It was either

1195
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:46,279
Speaker 3: I think it was Saturday. The lunch was there was

1196
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 3: like corn beef and then there was a tongue there

1197
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 3: just like slice.

1198
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 2: We grew up, I grew up in Montana, would cattle

1199
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 2: and had a ranch whatever, so we would have you know,

1200
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:58,279
Speaker 2: you'd butcher the cows and like there would be time

1201
00:54:58,280 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 2: when the cow toong would be sitting in the bottom

1202
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:00,799
Speaker 2: the refrigerator.

1203
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 3: My dad would slice it off a big sandwiches yeah right,

1204
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 3: or something like that.

1205
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 2: I don't believe he called it that.

1206
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 3: I believe he called it tongue.

1207
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:08,719
Speaker 4: You know.

1208
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:11,640

1214
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:24,840
Speaker 4: and the whole offense rely we were always in talks

1215
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 4: just you know, just talking to other about just any

1216
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:28,839
Speaker 4: like you know, everyday things, just you know, and things

1217
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:30,920
Speaker 4: just so we just get that connection.

1218
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:33,879
Speaker 2: Just a Yeah, how important you got do you think

1219
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:37,279
Speaker 2: it is for uh, your your mental health, all of

1220
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:40,719
Speaker 2: it to unplug a little bit? Because you guys are

1221
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:44,279
Speaker 2: you guys are plugged in big time all the way

1222
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:47,840
Speaker 2: through and it's eat, breed, sleep football. How important do

1223
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 2: you think it is? And for you personally and for

1224
00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:51,960
Speaker 2: other guys to just get away a little bit.

1225
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be honest, I think it is important. But

1226
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 4: at the same time, I just for for me, I

1227
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 4: can speak on my behalf. I feel like it's just

1228
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:02,360
Speaker 4: it's almost impossible to really fully unplug, you know what

1229
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:04,360
Speaker 4: I'm saying, Like even if like you get away, you

1230
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 4: travel or whatever. You're always in the back of your

1231
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:08,400
Speaker 4: head just thinking about ball and like things that you

1232
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:10,719
Speaker 4: can do to to just help the team, you know,

1233
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:14,120
Speaker 4: be better or whatever the case may be. So it

1234
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:15,680
Speaker 4: was nice, it was a nice time off, but like

1235
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 4: you're just always just I just, for example, once we

1236
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:23,920
Speaker 4: finished the season this past one, I flew to my

1237
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 4: house in Miami and I was like, Okay, I'm I'm

1238
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:28,400
Speaker 4: not gonna do anything for like two weeks. I'm just

1239
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:30,800
Speaker 4: gonna rest my body. And after two days, I just

1240
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 4: found myself doing something and I was like, you know

1241
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:34,919
Speaker 4: what I mean. It was just always like my mind

1242
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:36,920
Speaker 4: won't won't let me just not do anything.

1243
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:40,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, is it crazy to you? Because for me, I

1244
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 3: talked to the other day that you were drafted, you've

1245
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:46,759
Speaker 3: been here, this will be your seventh season, right and

1246
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:51,880
Speaker 3: you're twenty six. Yeah, you're still only twenty six. I

1247
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:53,919
Speaker 3: mean turn twenty seven this year, but you're still only

1248
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:57,320
Speaker 3: You're so young, but you have been here, You've grown

1249
00:56:57,480 --> 00:56:59,800
Speaker 3: so much in this time. When you kind of reflect

1250
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:02,319
Speaker 3: back on that, you know, you would think, it just

1251
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 3: blows my mind that you're still twenty six. How far

1252
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:08,000
Speaker 3: you've come, what you've accomplished, and then what you still

1253
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:10,480
Speaker 3: want to accomplish. I mean, last, you're certainly on a

1254
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:13,040
Speaker 3: per game basis career year for you, you're almost at career

1255
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 3: numbers anyway, very close at the end. But to think

1256
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 3: of how far you've come in it, you're still in

1257
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:21,760
Speaker 3: your prime and not still ascending probably to your prime.

1258
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I appreciate that. I mean I really I owe

1259
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:25,920
Speaker 4: it all to God honestly. But yeah, it's been a

1260
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 4: journey for sure. I got drafted here when I was

1261
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 4: twenty years old. I didn't know. I didn't know really,

1262
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 4: and just you know, just as each day went by,

1263
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 4: each month, each year went by, just the progression of everything,

1264
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 4: you know, just the highs, the lows and everything. So

1265
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:40,840
Speaker 4: it's just truly a big blessing.

1266
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:45,000
Speaker 3: What has been I imagine you're twenty, you come out

1267
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:49,200
Speaker 3: of the U, you're a first round pick. I don't

1268
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 3: know that to say you would take some things for granted,

1269
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 3: But what's kind of been the biggest growing in not

1270
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 3: only this game? Look to play six years, you've played

1271
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 3: longer than the average player plays. No, yeah, significantly, you

1272
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 3: financially done better than the average player does significantly. What's

1273
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 3: kind of the difference in your mindset about how you

1274
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:07,919
Speaker 3: approach your business in terms of the business of the game,

1275
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:09,960
Speaker 3: your business probably even off the field now, because that's

1276
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 3: a real thing that you have to think about on

1277
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:14,480
Speaker 3: a major level, you know, in these six years.

1278
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 4: Yeah. So, I mean, honestly, I feel like this year

1279
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:21,680
Speaker 4: I took it upon myself to be very selfish in

1280
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:25,680
Speaker 4: terms of just like you know, everything, every move that

1281
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:28,480
Speaker 4: is made for me is very precise. You know, it's

1282
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:31,160
Speaker 4: very just calculated, you know what I'm saying. And I

1283
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 4: just Number one, I try to be the helping hand

1284
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 4: for all the players, like anybody that needed anybody to

1285
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 4: talk to or just you know, just wise words or

1286
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 4: just words of experience, you know, I want to be

1287
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:46,400
Speaker 4: that person for them, number one. Number two, I feel

1288
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 4: like I got a taste of excellence last year before

1289
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 4: my injury. And yeah, you're cooking. Yeah, So the name

1290
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:55,000
Speaker 4: of the game is just stay healthy, stay healthy, and

1291
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 4: good things will happen. So we're working hard, we're working smart,

1292
00:58:58,280 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 4: and you know, we just can't wait to get this

1293
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 4: thing started.

1294
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:03,360
Speaker 2: There was a last season was tough. I mean it

1295
00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 2: was it was tough. What happened in camp. The season

1296
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:08,040
Speaker 2: itself was tough. You mentioned your injury, the uncertainty around

1297
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 2: to sean all of it. This is kind of the

1298
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 2: official start of next season. I suppose with the voluntary

1299
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 2: and then we end with mandatory. Then we'll get to

1300
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 2: camp and all that stuff. How much is there is

1301
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:21,640
Speaker 2: there any weight lifted off of you guys? Knowing that

1302
00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:23,720
Speaker 2: the team that you have is the team that you'll have.

1303
00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:26,440
Speaker 2: You're not You're not waiting on anything from the league,

1304
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:28,120
Speaker 2: Like this is the team. And honestly, we've talked about

1305
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:31,200
Speaker 2: all week. This team's kind of fully formed before the draft.

1306
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:33,320
Speaker 2: In terms of the roster. We could do a fifty

1307
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 2: three right now if we wanted to. What is that

1308
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 2: like for you as one of the leaders because you

1309
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:39,680
Speaker 2: mentioned you took you've taken on a much more leadership

1310
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 2: role here in the last couple of years.

1311
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be honest. The theory of weight on or weightlifted,

1312
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:48,600
Speaker 4: I feel like is just an excuse. I feel like,

1313
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, you know we're here

1314
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 4: for a reason. You know we're not here by accident

1315
00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 4: or mistake. I feel like we have the right talent,

1316
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 4: the right people in this building to really do something special.

1317
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:02,760
Speaker 4: That's what we intend to do. And it started yesterday

1318
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:05,240
Speaker 4: and it's just an each day, you know. The hopes

1319
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 4: is just to get a little bit better than yesterday.

1320
01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. You're not gonna roam what

1321
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 4: wasn't built overnight, you know what I'm saying. We obviously

1322
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 4: have things we have to work on thoroughly, you know,

1323
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:17,240
Speaker 4: and consistently at that. So I feel like as long

1324
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 4: as everybody's going on the same page, you know, the

1325
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:21,880
Speaker 4: the best thing I can tell the team is just

1326
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 4: to try to stay as close as possible, to try

1327
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:26,200
Speaker 4: to be as close as possible, because no matter what,

1328
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 4: things will hit the fan, things will go wrong and

1329
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 4: it's it's up to us to steer it back into

1330
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:33,640
Speaker 4: the right direction and uh, you know, finish the mission.

1331
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 3: So you guys are just getting into the foundation, right

1332
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 3: and that's what Kevin's fancy talked about. You're I'm not

1333
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:42,760
Speaker 3: asking you to tell me what the changes are, but

1334
01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 3: do you feel as a player on this offense. Now

1335
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 3: that's a full season with the Seawan that you brought in,

1336
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 3: an Elijah More, you got the speed of Marque's Goodwin

1337
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 3: Aikins is in there to give us more versatility and

1338
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 3: some of those two tight end looks. Do you feel

1339
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 3: like this offense is really going to evolve this year

1340
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 3: and then I would imagine as a pass catch or

1341
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:02,440
Speaker 3: it's evolving in an exciting way for you?

1342
01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 4: Absolutely? I mean, you know, the DeShawn is an exceptional player,

1343
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:10,360
Speaker 4: along with other guys that we brought in and guys

1344
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:12,200
Speaker 4: that we have here. You know what I'm saying, Elijah,

1345
01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:17,560
Speaker 4: you mentioned cool Donovan, Jordan Harrison's you know, everybody really

1346
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:20,560
Speaker 4: has their own talent that they bring to the table.

1347
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:23,919
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's it's very exciting, you know, and we're

1348
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 4: gonna the point of us is to come together and

1349
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:31,160
Speaker 4: you know, in camp or OTA's whatever, give our defense

1350
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 4: hell as much as we can, and then when the

1351
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:35,800
Speaker 4: season starts, you know, just transition that over and just

1352
01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 4: continue to you know, build upon that. So I'm excited.

1353
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 4: I really can't wait just to get this started. You know,

1354
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 4: this is like like it's like the worst part of

1355
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:44,720
Speaker 4: every year. Like it's just like the tease. Yeah, you

1356
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:46,600
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, Like we don't they get there

1357
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:48,840
Speaker 4: the full action, which is cool, you know, we understand,

1358
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:50,760
Speaker 4: but yeah, we're excited with the people we.

1359
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 3: Have, you know, you kind of talked about everything happens

1360
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 3: the way that it was supposed to, and there was

1361
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:57,959
Speaker 3: you know, even though there was some uncertainty, it wasn't

1362
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:00,720
Speaker 3: an excuse for what happened. But do you feel that

1363
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:03,960
Speaker 3: for Deshaun for example, is it easier for if you've

1364
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:05,720
Speaker 3: noticed a difference in him coming in being able to

1365
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:07,120
Speaker 3: be like, this is my team now. I know I'm

1366
01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 3: starting week one?

1367
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 4: I know absolutely, And I feel like he knew that

1368
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 4: it was his team last year obviously with the you know,

1369
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 4: the complications, but yeah, just like having like you know,

1370
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:20,560
Speaker 4: the OTA's, like the everything like under his wing, I

1371
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:22,840
Speaker 4: think will definitely help him and everybody tremendously.

1372
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:26,160
Speaker 2: So much talent on this team. So great to see again, buddy,

1373
01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 2: it's been a minute. Ultra Broop's most comfortable shoe ever

1374
01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:31,960
Speaker 2: built for me.

1375
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:34,640
Speaker 4: I like him, but I'd say no, really, there's a

1376
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:37,560
Speaker 4: couple other Adidas shoes like man.

1377
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:39,120
Speaker 2: I got to know after we have to give you

1378
01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 2: the names of those because those are.

1379
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:43,280
Speaker 4: The those things are perfect. I got all right, I

1380
01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 4: need the names.

1381
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:45,760
Speaker 3: By the way, have you run into Tom Brady it

1382
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:47,480
Speaker 3: all down there in Miami and reminded him that you

1383
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:50,680
Speaker 3: attatched to hand him a loss in his last game

1384
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:51,640
Speaker 3: in the city of Cleveland.

1385
01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:54,600
Speaker 4: I think we're in Vegas for the John Jones fight.

1386
01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:57,000
Speaker 4: I advanced him there and we had like a good

1387
01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 4: ten minute talk. Man, He's like, he's a really good dude,

1388
01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 4: in a great lead even off the field, Like just

1389
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 4: his presence, you know, it's it's amazing.

1390
01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:05,440
Speaker 3: So did you remember what you did doing?

1391
01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 4: He did? He did, you know, Yeah, it's gotta be

1392
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 4: pretty sold about it. But he wasn't too happy. But

1393
01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:11,760
Speaker 4: you know, honestly, I was just blessed to be in

1394
01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:13,919
Speaker 4: that position. I think Jocobe threw an amazing ball. Whether

1395
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:15,120
Speaker 4: he says it or not, I think he threw a

1396
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:16,720
Speaker 4: great ball, and I just came down with this.

1397
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:18,600
Speaker 3: So is that your favorite catch you've ever made?

1398
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:20,920
Speaker 4: You know? I had this one handed touchdown in my

1399
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 4: rookie year as well. I have to really just compare

1400
01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 4: and contrast, you know, because I with that one, I

1401
01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 4: dove like off the ground with it, but this this one,

1402
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:30,640
Speaker 4: I was off the ground a little bit, but I

1403
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:32,880
Speaker 4: didn't really like get as high as I know I can.

1404
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 3: So I just you know, did Tom Brady talk to

Speaker 2: This time most definitely.

1434
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:15,840
Speaker 18: You know, I have a vision that you know, me

1435
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:18,480
Speaker 18: and the staff and this organization want to go in.

1436
01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:21,560
Speaker 18: Last year was just kind of you know, world wind,

1437
01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:23,840
Speaker 18: but you know it was a good learning lesson for

1438
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:26,680
Speaker 18: myself and for me to be able to grow. So

1439
01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:31,160
Speaker 18: coming in this year was definitely. You know, I'm ahead

1440
01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:33,360
Speaker 18: of the game from where I was. You know previously.

1441
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:36,000
Speaker 14: How much have you guys been able to get together

1442
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:39,440
Speaker 14: the you know, the receivers, running backs, whatever down in

1443
01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:40,600
Speaker 14: Houston This soft.

1444
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:44,240
Speaker 18: Season pretty much my whole off season started, you know

1445
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:47,280
Speaker 18: in February when I started training and throwing. Uh, guys

1446
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 18: was coming in, some guys stayed the whole time, some

1447
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:51,360
Speaker 18: guys was already their training.

1448
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:52,000
Speaker 4: Uh.

1449
01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:54,919
Speaker 18: Some guys were flying for a week, fly back out

1450
01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:57,240
Speaker 18: you know and come back later on. So you know,

1451
01:05:57,400 --> 01:06:00,320
Speaker 18: pretty much all the receivers came through at least once,

1452
01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 18: and uh that was a good sign to see how

1453
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:03,479
Speaker 18: much do well.

1454
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:06,120
Speaker 4: The all offense looked. Do you think this year them

1455
01:06:06,280 --> 01:06:06,720
Speaker 4: last year?

1456
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:09,560
Speaker 7: I'm not sure.

1457
01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 18: Uh, that's still you know, in the works of of

1458
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:14,960
Speaker 18: what Kevin and AVP want to do and myself, and

1459
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:17,680
Speaker 18: once we get all the the guys here, we kind of,

1460
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:21,080
Speaker 18: you know, see how this ross's gonna turn. Then we'll

1461
01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:23,880
Speaker 18: have a uh, you know, decision on how that offense

1462
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:25,840
Speaker 18: is gonna look. But you know, we don't wanna go

1463
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 18: in planning this is how it's gonna look, and if

1464
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:29,880
Speaker 18: it doesn't work, then, you know, we gotta be open

1465
01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:30,880
Speaker 18: to be able to adjust.

1466
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:31,400
Speaker 4: All the time.

1467
01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:35,040
Speaker 12: It seems like a lot of people question or wonder

1468
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:39,160
Speaker 12: are you still capable of being the quarterback that you

1469
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:42,320
Speaker 12: were in twenty twenty? What What do you say to

1470
01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 12: people that question.

1471
01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:44,440
Speaker 1: That or wonder?

1472
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:47,800
Speaker 18: Uh, I don't say anything. I mean that's you know,

1473
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:50,600
Speaker 18: their on opions. Yeah, I know who I am. Uh,

1474
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:53,479
Speaker 18: this this organization know who I am, and the guys

1475
01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:56,200
Speaker 18: that I play with know who I am. And you know,

1476
01:06:56,440 --> 01:06:58,680
Speaker 18: so I mean, everyone have their own opinions of what

1477
01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:01,400
Speaker 18: what they wanna, you know, say or how they want to,

1478
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:04,520
Speaker 18: you know, kind of just the fact of last year.

1479
01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:06,960
Speaker 18: But at the end of the day, you know, I

1480
01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:08,800
Speaker 18: have an opportunity to go out there and prove what

1481
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:10,320
Speaker 18: I need to prove in twenty twenty three.

1482
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:11,280
Speaker 4: And that's what I'm focused on.

1483
01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:13,360
Speaker 18: I'm not focused on and what anybody else have to say.

1484
01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:16,360
Speaker 15: How much can the additions of Elijah or or He's

1485
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:18,080
Speaker 15: could what help you squar back?

1486
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:21,280
Speaker 18: We have guys that have experience, We have guys that

1487
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:23,440
Speaker 18: made a lot of plays for their organizations that they've

1488
01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:25,880
Speaker 18: been a part of. And we have guys that want

1489
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:27,600
Speaker 18: to come in here and work. And you know, we

1490
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:30,440
Speaker 18: last year we were very young. But with those additions,

1491
01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:33,200
Speaker 18: with more experience and more you know, speed and talent,

1492
01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:36,160
Speaker 18: it's going to bring up everyone else. And you know,

1493
01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:37,880
Speaker 18: you just got to get the ball in these guys'

1494
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:39,640
Speaker 18: hands and let them make plays. And that's that's what

1495
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:40,120
Speaker 18: I want to do.

1496
01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:40,720
Speaker 7: Deshan.

1497
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:42,000
Speaker 16: I know, the last time we talked to you talked

1498
01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:43,920
Speaker 16: about sitting down with kind of and man and man

1499
01:07:44,080 --> 01:07:46,160
Speaker 16: like going through this offense. Changes that have to happen.

1500
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:48,440
Speaker 16: I guess how how have those early conversations gone, and

1501
01:07:48,520 --> 01:07:50,200
Speaker 16: now that you guys are back in the building, how

1502
01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:51,120
Speaker 16: are you going to continue that?

1503
01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:51,800
Speaker 7: Uh?

1504
01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:54,320
Speaker 18: Yeah, I mean every day is as an open conversation

1505
01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:58,120
Speaker 18: for all of us, you know, today's meetings, we're saying.

1506
01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:00,440
Speaker 7: Way, you know, getting to know you know, how he think,

1507
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:01,040
Speaker 7: how I think.

1508
01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:03,880
Speaker 18: You know, Studying defenses, studying this offense is what we

1509
01:08:03,960 --> 01:08:07,120
Speaker 18: want to do, uh, you know, coming up this upcoming season.

1510
01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:09,800
Speaker 18: But yeah, we had plenty of of of talks, you know,

1511
01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:12,080
Speaker 18: throughout from you know, when I came into building last

1512
01:08:12,120 --> 01:08:14,080
Speaker 18: year to now. So we want to continue to build

1513
01:08:14,080 --> 01:08:16,960
Speaker 18: that relationship and continue to build our trust and within

1514
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:19,200
Speaker 18: each other. And if all three of us are on

1515
01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:21,200
Speaker 18: the same page, I think we can be very successful.

1516
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:25,120
Speaker 12: Are you too about the fact that Amari did undergo

1517
01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:27,720
Speaker 12: the poormosis surgery and that he will be back to

1518
01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:29,360
Speaker 12: his one hundred healthy.

1519
01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:31,519
Speaker 18: Self this season, I'm very excited. I mean, he's one

1520
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:33,160
Speaker 18: of the best rock runners, if not the best rout

1521
01:08:33,240 --> 01:08:36,400
Speaker 18: runner in the game. So with his experiences, talent, and

1522
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:38,880
Speaker 18: the way that he played last year, you know, of

1523
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:40,680
Speaker 18: course before he got hurt, but even when he got hurt,

1524
01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:43,120
Speaker 18: he was still making place. I'm decited to be able

1525
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:45,600
Speaker 18: to have him full go of this upcoming season, and

1526
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:47,360
Speaker 18: we're going to spend a lot of time, you know,

1527
01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:50,200
Speaker 18: with each other, and once he gets fully, fully healthy,

1528
01:08:50,280 --> 01:08:52,040
Speaker 18: then we can really put the time in in the work.

1529
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:55,960
Speaker 19: Shawn Drew left to go to Arizona the UC, but

1530
01:08:56,360 --> 01:08:59,639
Speaker 19: Alex sort of kind of as the de facto quarterback

1531
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:02,880
Speaker 19: coach even without the title. How how beneficial is that

1532
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:06,120
Speaker 19: for you just to kind of the continuity even losing

1533
01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:08,439
Speaker 19: the coach in that room but still gaining you know,

1534
01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:11,479
Speaker 19: keeping Alex there as kind of the guy to work with.

1535
01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:14,360
Speaker 18: It's definitely good. You know, it's not too much big

1536
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:16,840
Speaker 18: of a change. Drew did a heck of a job.

1537
01:09:16,920 --> 01:09:18,919
Speaker 18: He's gonna do a heck of a job down in Arizona.

1538
01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:19,519
Speaker 3: Uh.

1539
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:21,320
Speaker 18: You know, best of lout to Drew and his family

1540
01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:23,960
Speaker 18: and and that organization. But you know, a VP, he

1541
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:26,920
Speaker 18: has a different style of coaching and teaching. You know,

1542
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:29,960
Speaker 18: he played the game also at this level, and you

1543
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:32,960
Speaker 18: know with him being around guys that you know, play

1544
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:34,880
Speaker 18: at the highest of the highest level, you know, being

1545
01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:37,680
Speaker 18: in Green Band Cincinnati, uh, and then coming back here

1546
01:09:37,880 --> 01:09:39,640
Speaker 18: was was definitely you know key for me. So I

1547
01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:42,320
Speaker 18: want to learn from from him. What he you know,

1548
01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:44,080
Speaker 18: the guys that he'd been around when he was playing,

1549
01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:46,080
Speaker 18: but also the guys he coached. And I think that

1550
01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:48,720
Speaker 18: we can you know, really make something happen and do

1551
01:09:48,880 --> 01:09:49,679

1584
01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:19,479

Speaker 18: Anything that has to do with legal side, I let

1591
01:11:30,880 --> 01:11:32,680
Speaker 18: my legal team, you know, deal with that. My main

1592
01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:35,720
Speaker 18: focus is continue to grow as a as an individual,

1593
01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:38,120
Speaker 18: as a person, and then just continue to grow as

1594
01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:40,840
Speaker 18: a football player. And if I can continue to do

1595
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:43,840
Speaker 18: that and and you know, look forward and look at

1596
01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:46,519
Speaker 18: all the positive things around me, then I know things

01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:50,120
Speaker 4: Uh that's around me.

1599
01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:54,120
Speaker 16: Actun't get Josh Dobbs back in the quarterback room, and

1600
01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:57,000
Speaker 16: then Jacobe getting this new opportunity with Washington was just

1601
01:11:57,040 --> 01:11:57,800
Speaker 16: a reaction all.

1602
01:11:57,760 --> 01:11:59,000
Speaker 7: The it was.

1603
01:11:59,080 --> 01:12:01,840
Speaker 18: It was awesome first, you know, starting with Jacoby having

1604
01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:04,679
Speaker 18: an opportunity in Washington, you know, and it's funny because

1605
01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:07,080
Speaker 18: you know, I trained with Quincy and Quincy knows Jacoby.

1606
01:12:07,120 --> 01:12:09,600
Speaker 18: I know Jacoby, so you know during training sessions, we

1607
01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:12,400
Speaker 18: with FaceTime all the time and it'll be me, Jacoby,

1608
01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:15,320
Speaker 18: me Gino Smith, me Josh Dobbs kind of on FaceTime

1609
01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:17,880
Speaker 18: while we're training and you know, all supporting each other.

1610
01:12:18,479 --> 01:12:20,920
Speaker 18: So you know, best of love to Jacoby and what

1611
01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:23,439
Speaker 18: he's gonna do in Washington. He's going to be a

1612
01:12:23,479 --> 01:12:26,120
Speaker 18: great addition to that locker room. And then having Dobbs

1613
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:28,240
Speaker 18: back a guy that who's been who I've been around

1614
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:30,160
Speaker 18: last year. But I've been around Dobbs since I was

1615
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:32,200
Speaker 18: in high school, you know, growing up in the same area.

1616
01:12:32,320 --> 01:12:34,960
Speaker 18: So it's good to see him come back. And what

1617
01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:37,000
Speaker 18: he did whenever he was away for the building for

1618
01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:39,679
Speaker 18: that short period of time for Tennessee was definitely dope

1619
01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:42,559
Speaker 18: to see too. So it's good to have the guys

1620
01:12:42,640 --> 01:12:45,639
Speaker 18: around me and good to see the guys have success

1621
01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:46,400
Speaker 18: and opportunities.

1622
01:12:47,080 --> 01:12:49,840
Speaker 3: Sure good hook you back at.

1623
01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:53,000
Speaker 20: The six games that you play at the end of

1624
01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:54,960
Speaker 20: the year last year, do you think there was a

1625
01:12:55,040 --> 01:12:57,400
Speaker 20: period and now it will be easier this year that

1626
01:12:57,840 --> 01:13:00,400
Speaker 20: the team had to kind of learn how to play

1627
01:13:00,479 --> 01:13:02,600
Speaker 20: with you and you had to kind of learn how

1628
01:13:02,640 --> 01:13:03,240
Speaker 20: to play with them.

1629
01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:05,639
Speaker 18: Of course, I mean we're still going to continue to grow.

1630
01:13:06,360 --> 01:13:08,320
Speaker 18: You know, I play a little bit different style than

1631
01:13:08,360 --> 01:13:11,120
Speaker 18: the previous quarterbacks they had here. Uh, the play call

1632
01:13:11,320 --> 01:13:13,080
Speaker 18: is going to be different. You know, it's a different

1633
01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:15,920
Speaker 18: style of you know, quarterback play that Kevin had around.

1634
01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:18,120
Speaker 18: You know, he was you know with Kirk Cousins in

1635

1637
01:13:23,640 --> 01:13:26,679
Speaker 18: of different styles of playing what I was doing in Houston.

1638
01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:30,120
Speaker 18: So you know, it's always growing. We always continue to

1639
01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:32,360
Speaker 18: try to, you know, find ways to improve. You know,

Speaker 17: What's the best part of being back here in this

1698
01:15:43,840 --> 01:15:46,200
Speaker 17: building and in Maria and having these guys.

1699
01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:46,600
Speaker 7: Together with you.

1700
01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:49,120
Speaker 18: I think it's just that that bond and that chemistry,

1701
01:15:49,240 --> 01:15:51,519
Speaker 18: and it's not so much of a football it's just

1702
01:15:51,640 --> 01:15:54,040
Speaker 18: really that brotherhood that you build, you know, being around

1703
01:15:54,080 --> 01:15:55,639
Speaker 18: each other in the off season, you have more time

1704
01:15:55,720 --> 01:15:57,760
Speaker 18: to really get to know this guy. You're not just

1705
01:15:57,880 --> 01:16:00,639
Speaker 18: training and a lot of guys are, you know, going

1706
01:16:00,680 --> 01:16:03,040
Speaker 18: home to see families. You know, guys are coming over

1707
01:16:03,520 --> 01:16:05,120
Speaker 18: and you know, we're training and then we're going out

1708
01:16:05,160 --> 01:16:07,559
Speaker 18: to eat. You know, we're going to dinners and we're

1709
01:16:07,600 --> 01:16:11,240
Speaker 18: hanging out, you know, and social places. So I think

1710
01:16:11,320 --> 01:16:13,080
Speaker 18: that's the biggest thing. And once we get back here,

1711
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:15,599
Speaker 18: that chemistry and that vibe is just it just tasted

1712
01:16:15,640 --> 01:16:17,559
Speaker 18: to a whole another level because we know how we're

1713
01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:19,880
Speaker 18: going to react in certain situations and we got to

1714
01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:22,000
Speaker 18: continue to build that even when we get back here.

1715
01:16:22,200 --> 01:16:24,479
Speaker 18: And that's the beauty of just having that off season

1716
01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:25,559
Speaker 18: and having guys come around.

1717
01:16:26,240 --> 01:16:27,000
Speaker 4: Where do you think when you.

1718
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:30,439
Speaker 8: Saw Jim Schwartz get higher than the major additions of

1719
01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:31,800
Speaker 8: the defensive side of time.

1720
01:16:31,800 --> 01:16:32,479
Speaker 7: I mean it's huge.

1721
01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:36,240
Speaker 18: He's a guy that you know, won a Super Bowl

1722
01:16:36,240 --> 01:16:38,800
Speaker 18: I think it was twenty seventeen with Philly, So he's

1723
01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:41,040
Speaker 18: been at the highs of the highst and that's what

1724
01:16:41,320 --> 01:16:43,400
Speaker 18: I feel like this organization needed. I think this is

1725
01:16:43,439 --> 01:16:45,599
Speaker 18: what that locker room needed, not just for the defensive side,

1726
01:16:45,600 --> 01:16:46,400
Speaker 18: but for the offense.

1727
01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:47,599
Speaker 7: So we can compete.

1728
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:50,040
Speaker 18: We can go out there and be aggressive. We cannot

1729
01:16:50,120 --> 01:16:52,920
Speaker 18: go out there and talk trash, but be healthy at

1730
01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:55,120
Speaker 18: the same time. And then a guy that's been around

1731
01:16:55,439 --> 01:16:57,640
Speaker 18: and knows this game and is going to challenge that

1732
01:16:57,760 --> 01:16:59,960
Speaker 18: defensive side is going to challenge us each and every week.

1733
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:02,519
Speaker 18: So if he can rise that defense to a whole

1734
01:17:02,600 --> 01:17:04,840
Speaker 18: nother level, we can do the same thing offensively and

1735
01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:08,040
Speaker 18: as a team for all three phases. Special teams, defense, offense.

1736
01:17:08,080 --> 01:17:10,080
Speaker 18: Can do that, then we can have, you know, a

1737
01:17:10,120 --> 01:17:10,920
Speaker 18: successful season.

1738
01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:15,400
Speaker 12: And back then you were saying that you'd expect magical

1739
01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:18,320
Speaker 12: things to happen in the twenty twenty three So you know,

1740
01:17:18,479 --> 01:17:19,479
Speaker 12: what what do you mean by that?

1741
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:19,640
Speaker 15: What?

1742
01:17:19,840 --> 01:17:19,880
Speaker 17: What?

1743
01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:20,760
Speaker 4: What kind of magic is?

1744
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:23,479
Speaker 18: Yeah, a lot of wins, you know, a lot of w's,

1745
01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:25,639
Speaker 18: you know, having the opportunity to getting in that playoffs,

1746
01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:27,600
Speaker 18: and then once we get in that and and and

1747
01:17:27,720 --> 01:17:30,160
Speaker 18: the big dance, then anything can happen, you know. And

1748
01:17:31,240 --> 01:17:33,040
Speaker 18: you know, I'm not the type to, you know, always

1749
01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:34,920
Speaker 18: make promises and things like that, So I'm not gonna

1750
01:17:34,920 --> 01:17:35,640
Speaker 18: sit up here and do that.

1751
01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:37,320
Speaker 7: But the multiple things.

1752
01:17:37,560 --> 01:17:39,960
Speaker 18: The biggest thing is to win a lot of games,

1753
01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:44,160
Speaker 18: have this city rocking, And like Jim said, you know

1754
01:17:44,280 --> 01:17:46,479
Speaker 18: in his press conference, you know, one of the biggest

1755
01:17:46,479 --> 01:17:48,479
Speaker 18: things that the city want is to be able to

1756
01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:50,240
Speaker 18: have that parade at the end of the year. So

1757
01:17:50,439 --> 01:17:52,960
Speaker 18: that's the ultimate goal. But we have steps and and

1758
01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:55,519
Speaker 18: things and work to put in before we get there.

1759
01:17:55,720 --> 01:17:58,080
Speaker 18: But yeah, that's what I really meant about that.

1760
01:17:58,760 --> 01:18:01,280
Speaker 2: I like that he just owns that and puts it

1761
01:18:01,320 --> 01:18:05,280
Speaker 2: out there and says, let's go yes, love it. Yeah,

1762
01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:08,120
Speaker 2: And look, he knows, he knows how good he is,

1763
01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:09,960
Speaker 2: the players know how good he is. He's just got

1764
01:18:10,080 --> 01:18:11,720
Speaker 2: to go out there and do it. No talking about it,

1765
01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:15,320
Speaker 2: certainly in April's gonna matter. And if people want to

1766
01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:18,160
Speaker 2: doubt him, good, I think it's good. Let him use

1767
01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:18,880
Speaker 2: that as fuel.

1768
01:18:18,960 --> 01:18:19,639
Speaker 3: I think it's great.

1769
01:18:20,160 --> 01:18:24,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, And Gon gonna be fun to watch this

Speaker 2: I mean, we had everybody talking today. It seems like

1787
01:19:13,840 --> 01:19:15,360
Speaker 2: was there a theme that jumped out to you kind

1788
01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:17,000
Speaker 2: of that crossed over all of them or was it

1789
01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:17,679
Speaker 2: all different?

1790
01:19:17,840 --> 01:19:20,080

01:19:20,160 --> 01:19:22,560
Speaker 21: be back. You know, everybody's has turned the page on

1792
01:19:22,680 --> 01:19:24,760
Speaker 21: last year and has a lot of hope for this year.

1793
01:19:25,360 --> 01:19:27,920
Speaker 21: You know, obviously think some of the bigger news today

1794
01:19:28,160 --> 01:19:30,439
Speaker 21: just with with guys who you know, were coming off

1795
01:19:30,479 --> 01:19:32,880
Speaker 21: of injuries last year coming back healthy, eager to kind

1796
01:19:32,920 --> 01:19:35,439
Speaker 21: of you know, just get started and specifically on the

1797
01:19:35,479 --> 01:19:37,000
Speaker 21: offensive side of the ball, you know, get started in

1798
01:19:37,080 --> 01:19:40,599
Speaker 21: a in a full and normal off season with Deshaun

1799
01:19:40,600 --> 01:19:42,960
Speaker 21: Watson's QB, you know, no uncertainty as far as when

1800
01:19:43,680 --> 01:19:45,920
Speaker 21: you know, starting the season with anything about like we

1801
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:49,679
Speaker 21: had last year. So definitely, you know, and there always

1802
01:19:49,760 --> 01:19:52,760
Speaker 21: is those themes for for every team this time of year, right,

1803
01:19:52,800 --> 01:19:55,720
Speaker 21: this is when you start fresh. Everybody's back back from

1804
01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:59,200
Speaker 21: you know, oftentimes vacations and things like that. So so

1805
01:19:59,439 --> 01:20:02,040
Speaker 21: it's not that that's sort of I think the main

1806
01:20:02,120 --> 01:20:05,040
Speaker 21: theme from today, but no, I mean just you know,

1807
01:20:05,120 --> 01:20:06,640
Speaker 21: good to hear from guys here. Heard from a lot

1808
01:20:06,640 --> 01:20:09,280
Speaker 21: of really you know, important players to say, who were

1809
01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:11,000
Speaker 21: coming up on it on a really big season here.

1810
01:20:11,080 --> 01:20:13,479
Speaker 21: So it was just just good to hear from guys

1811
01:20:13,479 --> 01:20:14,880
Speaker 21: and good to see that you know, there's a lot

1812
01:20:14,920 --> 01:20:16,880
Speaker 21: of excitement and a lot of healthy bodies in the

1813
01:20:16,920 --> 01:20:17,400
Speaker 21: building here.

1814
01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:21,479
Speaker 3: It's amazing in one year just how different you think

1815
01:20:21,479 --> 01:20:23,760
Speaker 3: about Shaun Watson's first press conference with the Browns and

1816
01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:25,240
Speaker 3: then his first press conference.

1817
01:20:25,200 --> 01:20:28,320
Speaker 2: It feels like that, Yeah, remember it like that? I

1818
01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:30,679
Speaker 2: mean that was feels like a blink. And yes, sometimes

1819
01:20:30,720 --> 01:20:32,320
Speaker 2: it feels like ten years the same both.

1820
01:20:32,360 --> 01:20:35,479
Speaker 3: Time is very rare, it is both. But I loved

1821
01:20:35,520 --> 01:20:38,000
Speaker 3: his kind of quiet confidence, not engaging in terms of

1822
01:20:38,080 --> 01:20:39,840
Speaker 3: you know, people say you have a lot to prove

1823
01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:41,880
Speaker 3: or anything like that. What kind of being in the room.

1824
01:20:41,920 --> 01:20:43,920
Speaker 3: What did you take away from him, his demeanor and

1825
01:20:44,040 --> 01:20:44,880
Speaker 3: just what he had to say.

1826
01:20:45,040 --> 01:20:47,759
Speaker 21: Yeah, definitely, I mean he just seems way more comfortable.

1827
01:20:47,760 --> 01:20:48,599
Speaker 3: I think he said it himself.

1828
01:20:48,680 --> 01:20:51,360
Speaker 21: He feels way more comfortable just being in year two,

1829
01:20:51,880 --> 01:20:54,519
Speaker 21: you know, getting being able to know what to sort

1830
01:20:54,560 --> 01:20:56,320
Speaker 21: of expect as far as how each day is going

1831
01:20:56,360 --> 01:20:58,439
Speaker 21: to look like, what he needs to work on, as

1832
01:20:58,520 --> 01:21:01,840
Speaker 21: far as, you know, mastering a playbook again and helping

1833
01:21:02,120 --> 01:21:04,920
Speaker 21: helping them kind of really grow h this passing game,

1834
01:21:04,920 --> 01:21:07,040
Speaker 21: because obviously it was very you know, inconsistent at times

1835
01:21:07,120 --> 01:21:09,400
Speaker 21: last year when he got back, and now the big

1836
01:21:09,439 --> 01:21:11,640
Speaker 21: thing all year with the Shawn and with with Stefanski

1837
01:21:11,760 --> 01:21:13,800
Speaker 21: is just you know, let's let's get together, let's really

1838
01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:16,880
Speaker 21: figure out what works best. For you, and this is

1839
01:21:16,880 --> 01:21:18,160
Speaker 21: the time of year when he's going to be able

1840
01:21:18,200 --> 01:21:20,080
Speaker 21: to really start getting to work on that. You know,

1841
01:21:20,160 --> 01:21:22,680
Speaker 21: it's just it's light workouts right now obviously, but you know,

1842
01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:24,080
Speaker 21: eventually we're going to be able to get on the

1843
01:21:24,120 --> 01:21:27,240
Speaker 21: field and sort of see, you know, where how they're

1844
01:21:27,240 --> 01:21:29,639
Speaker 21: going to be able to improve. And he's I imagine

1845
01:21:29,680 --> 01:21:31,680
Speaker 21: he's going to look more comfortable, probably, you know, look

1846
01:21:31,720 --> 01:21:32,960
Speaker 21: even better than he did last year.

1847
01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:34,400
Speaker 3: Shouldn't be any doubt in that.

1848
01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:36,479
Speaker 21: And you know, I'm excited to see where where it

1849
01:21:36,520 --> 01:21:38,599
Speaker 21: goes and when we can finally see them in practice

1850
01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:39,280
Speaker 21: what it looks like.

1851
01:21:40,040 --> 01:21:42,680
Speaker 3: I think, you know, as we look back on this

1852
01:21:42,840 --> 01:21:48,080
Speaker 3: and kind of in retrospect switching teams, they talk about

1853
01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:50,120
Speaker 3: how hard is for like receivers to switch teams often

1854
01:21:50,160 --> 01:21:52,080
Speaker 3: and have success. Now, Mark Cooper did do it because

1855
01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:54,519
Speaker 3: you're learning a new playbook, you're learning new terminology. Well,

1856
01:21:54,520 --> 01:21:56,200
Speaker 3: when you're the quarterback, you have to learn all of that.

1857
01:21:56,360 --> 01:21:59,000
Speaker 3: And when you're the quarterback and you're coming in and

1858
01:21:59,040 --> 01:22:01,160
Speaker 3: your first press confidence has nothing to do with football,

1859
01:22:01,240 --> 01:22:03,160
Speaker 3: and you're dealing with so many things that have nothing

1860
01:22:03,200 --> 01:22:05,840
Speaker 3: to do with football, and you're going back and forth

1861
01:22:05,920 --> 01:22:09,960
Speaker 3: and handling, you know, legal matters. To think that he

1862
01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:12,519
Speaker 3: was going to come in and play. I think he's

1863
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:14,040
Speaker 3: not a robot. He's a person.

1864
01:22:14,160 --> 01:22:15,720
Speaker 2: I think I said all the time last year, Like

1865
01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:17,519
Speaker 2: I think sometimes we think he was like a character

1866
01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:19,920
Speaker 2: on Madden, right, and he was in ninety one overall,

1867
01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:21,559
Speaker 2: and you just plugged him in and you took out

1868
01:22:21,640 --> 01:22:24,280
Speaker 2: all the humanity of it. It was like there were

1869
01:22:24,479 --> 01:22:28,800
Speaker 2: so many layers to that thing that like and there

1870
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:31,200
Speaker 2: we were all you and I, all of us, we

1871
01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:34,400
Speaker 2: were all naive. Coach problem good because it looked good

1872
01:22:34,439 --> 01:22:35,920
Speaker 2: in practice. He thought, well, this is how it's going

1873
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:37,400
Speaker 2: to go, and this is who he is. It's like, God,

1874
01:22:37,439 --> 01:22:40,360
Speaker 2: he hadn't played in a long time, learning everything from

1875
01:22:40,439 --> 01:22:43,880
Speaker 2: scratch and everything off the field, Like it was naive

1876
01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:44,599
Speaker 2: of all of us.

1877
01:22:44,600 --> 01:22:46,719
Speaker 3: And we had to run two parallel offenses.

1878
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:49,559
Speaker 21: Yeah, I think the thing too, that's important to remember

1879
01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:51,519
Speaker 21: just and we've seen over the years here how important

1880
01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:53,479
Speaker 21: it is for a quarterback to have chemistry with receivers,

1881
01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:55,439
Speaker 21: and also how long it can take some times to

1882
01:22:55,479 --> 01:22:57,920
Speaker 21: build chemistry with receivers. It's not something that's instant for

1883
01:22:58,479 --> 01:23:00,439
Speaker 21: a top receiver or in a top quarterback. Ever, and

1884
01:23:00,520 --> 01:23:02,479
Speaker 21: so I think the big thing here is just that

1885
01:23:02,640 --> 01:23:05,000
Speaker 21: Deshaun is going to get reps all off season with

1886
01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:07,000
Speaker 21: these top receivers. Whereas last year he were switching in

1887
01:23:07,120 --> 01:23:09,040
Speaker 21: and out going. You know, he was he was out

1888
01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:10,840
Speaker 21: for the first few months, wasn't able to practice with

1889
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:13,280
Speaker 21: the team. Now he's got a full offseason where he's

1890
01:23:13,280 --> 01:23:15,240
Speaker 21: gonna be able to just just throw passes the guys,

1891
01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:16,760
Speaker 21: and there's so much value in that. That's why it

1892
01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:18,400
Speaker 21: was so important that, you know, he wanted to get

1893
01:23:18,400 --> 01:23:21,160
Speaker 21: all the receivers down to Texas to get in reps

1894
01:23:21,160 --> 01:23:23,479
Speaker 21: with them. Like, I think that really is going to

1895
01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:25,080
Speaker 21: be a thing that it's going to be talked about

1896
01:23:25,080 --> 01:23:26,759
Speaker 21: all years, just you know, how's the chemistry with receivers

1897
01:23:26,800 --> 01:23:27,160
Speaker 21: and things like that.

1898
01:23:27,280 --> 01:23:27,839
Speaker 4: Is it improving.

1899
01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:30,400
Speaker 21: I think that's gonna be the biggest thing that is

1900
01:23:30,479 --> 01:23:33,120
Speaker 21: going to benefit the Seawan is just just getting throws

1901
01:23:33,160 --> 01:23:36,519
Speaker 21: two receivers over the course of an entire offseason and.

1902
01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:40,360
Speaker 3: Also being able to they can sit down and singularly

1903
01:23:40,479 --> 01:23:44,720
Speaker 3: design this offense for him. Last year, you had to

1904
01:23:45,520 --> 01:23:47,719
Speaker 3: do some things for him, but really create an offense

1905
01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:50,439
Speaker 3: for Jacoby bris said, who was gonna play basically twice

1906
01:23:50,439 --> 01:23:52,320
Speaker 3: as many games as DeShawn was gonna play.

1907
01:23:52,280 --> 01:23:54,080
Speaker 21: And then find a way to practice both of those

1908
01:23:54,120 --> 01:23:55,320
Speaker 21: types of offenses in practice.

1909
01:23:55,360 --> 01:23:57,120
Speaker 2: There's no blueprint for it had never been done.

1910
01:23:57,400 --> 01:23:59,400
Speaker 21: No, that's the thing that's the fans he keeps saying

1911
01:23:59,400 --> 01:24:01,360
Speaker 21: when he's asked about is this is this is like

1912
01:24:01,600 --> 01:24:02,920
Speaker 21: it was uncharted territory, you know.

1913
01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:04,519
Speaker 3: And now this is normal. Now this is a normal

1914
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:07,200
Speaker 3: football season, and we should be able to have some

1915
01:24:07,320 --> 01:24:07,880
Speaker 3: success here.

1916
01:24:08,280 --> 01:24:09,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to because that's I think the other

1917
01:24:10,080 --> 01:24:11,479
Speaker 2: thing that you talk about, and we had chief in

1918
01:24:11,560 --> 01:24:12,840
Speaker 2: here and I'm sure that was a theme of the

1919
01:24:12,920 --> 01:24:16,040
Speaker 2: guys you heard talk and we've talked to coach about

1920
01:24:16,040 --> 01:24:18,760
Speaker 2: this at the combine, like there is there is a

1921
01:24:18,800 --> 01:24:21,400
Speaker 2: pressure like we are not like the Houston Texans, we

1922
01:24:21,479 --> 01:24:23,479
Speaker 2: are not like the Carolina Panthers. Like we're paying our

1923
01:24:23,520 --> 01:24:25,920
Speaker 2: best players. They're all in there. We need to it's

1924
01:24:25,960 --> 01:24:26,320
Speaker 2: time to go.

1925
01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:30,160
Speaker 21: Absolutely absolutely, it's it's so important and they've done you

1926
01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:31,960
Speaker 21: know what they can this off team to try to

1927
01:24:31,960 --> 01:24:34,040
Speaker 21: patch all the major roster holes and a team that

1928
01:24:34,120 --> 01:24:36,280
Speaker 21: doesn't have a first round pick until the third round

1929
01:24:36,320 --> 01:24:38,120
Speaker 21: this year, is that's a team that needs to be winning,

1930
01:24:38,200 --> 01:24:39,880
Speaker 21: right now, and so I think there is there is

1931
01:24:40,120 --> 01:24:41,599
Speaker 21: you know, they're never going to say there's a sense

1932
01:24:41,600 --> 01:24:43,200
Speaker 21: of urgency with that, but there is a sense of urgency,

1933
01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:45,120
Speaker 21: the sort of let's let's make sure we get it

1934
01:24:45,240 --> 01:24:45,720
Speaker 21: right this year.

1935
01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:48,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean I put down a little forty fifty

1936
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:50,920
Speaker 3: three right here, and you can get to fifty one

1937
01:24:51,160 --> 01:24:53,200
Speaker 3: like in your sleep right now, and then it's some

1938
01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:56,040
Speaker 3: luxury things and where the draft picks fit in, how

1939
01:24:56,080 --> 01:24:57,840
Speaker 3: that changes it. You know, you need maybe a third

1940
01:24:57,920 --> 01:25:02,280
Speaker 3: running back? Do you want you know, nine offensive linemen?

1941
01:25:02,400 --> 01:25:04,720
Speaker 3: Do you want seven linebackers for special teams? Since we

1942
01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:07,040
Speaker 3: brought some special teams guys in here, But you know,

1943
01:25:07,240 --> 01:25:10,280
Speaker 3: who's the fourth defensive end, who's the third, fourth defensive tackles?

1944
01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:12,679
Speaker 3: But for the most part, like this thing is pretty

1945
01:25:12,720 --> 01:25:15,200
Speaker 3: well locked in. Fourth safety, it's pretty well locked in

1946
01:25:15,280 --> 01:25:15,920
Speaker 3: and ready to go.

1947
01:25:17,479 --> 01:25:19,639
Speaker 2: It's fully formed, dude. Like I mean, we've never gone

1948
01:25:19,680 --> 01:25:22,080
Speaker 2: into a draft this way since I've been doing this,

1949
01:25:22,200 --> 01:25:22,920
Speaker 2: and probably.

1950
01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:24,479
Speaker 3: You your whole starting lineup is formed. It's a lot

1951
01:25:24,520 --> 01:25:26,799
Speaker 3: with the exception of the second defensive tackle.

1952
01:25:26,960 --> 01:25:29,280
Speaker 21: Yeah, and the teams that are supposed to be winners

1953
01:25:29,320 --> 01:25:31,360
Speaker 21: this year, this is where the roster should be at.

1954
01:25:31,360 --> 01:25:33,640
Speaker 21: You shouldn't still be needing to necessarily rely on the

1955
01:25:33,720 --> 01:25:37,320
Speaker 21: draft to patch, you know, any major roster holes. And yeah,

1956
01:25:37,320 --> 01:25:38,960
Speaker 21: you know, like you said, you know they still could

1957
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:44,320
Speaker 21: maybe use another another reliable defensive tackle, a veteran or draft.

1958
01:25:44,240 --> 01:25:45,800
Speaker 3: But plays well. I mean, I liked them a lot

1959
01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:46,720
Speaker 3: of Michna, I.

1960
01:25:46,680 --> 01:25:48,880
Speaker 21: Guess, I'm I mean, but this is this is where

1961
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:51,240
Speaker 21: winning football team should be at with their roster right now.

1962
01:25:51,479 --> 01:25:58,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, could see anybody, Oh my gosh, yeah, time so

1976
01:26:54,560 --> 01:26:57,560
Speaker 6: get to some of the cuts from mister Garrett.

1977
01:26:57,240 --> 01:26:59,640
Speaker 2: And man Miles had some interesting thoughts on the Pro

1978
01:26:59,720 --> 01:27:00,400
Speaker 2: Bowl that I thought.

1979
01:27:00,439 --> 01:27:01,240
Speaker 3: I thought, Boy did he?

1980
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:01,599
Speaker 4: Boy?

1981
01:27:01,840 --> 01:27:04,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't say, well, who could have saw that coming?

1982
01:27:04,600 --> 01:27:04,800
Speaker 7: Yeah?

1983
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:08,080
Speaker 2: I mean thing was nonsensical, like he could.

1984
01:27:08,200 --> 01:27:12,120
Speaker 5: At one point someone in the room asked about you know, well,

1985
01:27:12,280 --> 01:27:14,000
Speaker 5: like the player said, they had funny? He goes, what

1986
01:27:14,240 --> 01:27:17,920
Speaker 5: players there's not one that had fun There's not one

1987
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:19,240
Speaker 5: that wants to run that back.

1988
01:27:19,640 --> 01:27:22,479
Speaker 2: And yet if you remember, really Miles couldn't help himself.

1989
01:27:22,560 --> 01:27:25,200
Speaker 2: Remember how hard he was trying at dodgeball. Yeah, man,

1990
01:27:25,320 --> 01:27:27,880
Speaker 2: he couldn't help him. Well, that that's probably fun. Yeah,

1991
01:27:28,800 --> 01:27:31,160
Speaker 2: the best catch. Trying to make it into a duck

1992
01:27:31,200 --> 01:27:32,759
Speaker 2: contest was the most.

1993
01:27:32,640 --> 01:27:33,800
Speaker 3: Absurd thing I've ever seen.

1994
01:27:33,880 --> 01:27:36,720
Speaker 2: That was pretty ridiculous. There's no way to there's no

1995
01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:39,519
Speaker 2: way to thread the needle. It's a it's an impossible premise.

1996
01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:42,400
Speaker 2: I got football players do something competitive that they don't

1997
01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:45,320
Speaker 2: get hurt, and isn't It's just tough. The next level

1998
