Speaker 5: it is great to be with you as always, my man.

22
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 5: Here we go right pre season opener, a day of

23
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 5: joint practice yesterday. Before we get to that preseason opener,

24
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 5: let's go back to yesterday. What did you see out

25
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 5: there on the field between the Cleveland Browns and the

26
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 5: Carolina Panthers.

27
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 6: Well, Nathan, I've been labeling a professional practice, and it

28
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 6: was that there was no animosity between the two squad.

29
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 6: It was very professional. Work got done and they took

30
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 6: care of business. That's exactly what you want to have occur,

31
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 6: especially in rainy, wet conditions because that's a recipe for disaster,

32
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 6: for slipping and falling. But they practiced very well and

33
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 6: got effective work in. That was a positive side of

34
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 6: seeing the offense as well. Do is do and have

35
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 6: some positive plays, make some plays and get the job

36
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 6: done and not be dominated by the Panthers defense because

37
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 6: we've pretty much seen that that our defense has dominated

38
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 6: them throughout the course of training camp. The one thing

39
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 6: that I did not like though, and I'm pretty sure

40
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 6: you'll agree with me, was there was way too many

41
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 6: pre snap piloties on our part. I mean, Carolina struggled

42
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 6: with it as well. But I'm not concerned about them.

43
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 6: I'm more concerned about what we do. So I saw that,

44
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 6: but overall, I thought was a good practice, effective. Guys

45
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 6: were focused that we just need to do a much

46
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 6: better job with the pre snap penalties.

47
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 2: Agreed.

48
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, And that's the type of thing that really hurt

49
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 5: the Browns last year, right, It was pre snap penalties

50
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 5: on turnovers on offense that really kind of derailed, you know,

51
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 5: the Browns offense and a bunch of games. And so yeah,

52
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 5: that's got to be cleaned up, and I think that's

53
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 5: one of the things we'll certainly be looking at in

54
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 5: this first preseason game. What I thought really stood out

55
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 5: to me, though obviously Joe Flacco continues to look very good.

56
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 5: I thought Kenny Pickett looked very good in the seven

57
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 5: on sevens that he was in. You know, but as

58
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 5: you look at this quarterback competition, Gerrod, You've got to wonder,

59
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 5: and I've said all along, I've been pretty clear all

60
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 5: along that I think, you know, Kenny Pickett was the

61
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 5: guy that the Browns wanted to be the starter. Week

62
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 5: one makes sense former first round picks still on his

63
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 5: rookie contract, and you're looking for somebody who can be

64
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 5: a solution. But when you miss two weeks and if

65
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 5: he misses the week next week in Philadelphia, I don't

66
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 5: know how you can do anything else other than play

67
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 5: the guy that's been here every day and who's been

68
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 5: the best quarterback thus far, which is Joe Flacco.

69
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 6: Right, And that's a fair assessment of it. And also

70
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 6: added for Kenny Kennedy Kenny rather is that he gives

71
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 6: you that dual threat quarterback capability and the fact that

72
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 6: he's hamstrung with his hamstring that creates a scenario too,

73
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 6: or his strong suits and why you do like him

74
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 6: and say, okay, he can give us that RPO act

75
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 6: that's not going to take place because you worried about

76
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,119
Speaker 6: the hamstring. So, yeah, Joe has been effective. Joe has

77
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 6: made it look really really easy out there, and how

78
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 6: he performs and how he throws the football, and you

79
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 6: see clearly that he has a lot left in that arm.

80
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, he definitely can throw the ball. There's no question

81
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 5: about that. I thought he looked good. Jerry Judy continues

82
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 5: to be It looks like he is going to pick

83
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 5: up right where he left off last year in his

84
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 5: first Pro Bowl season. Over twelve hundred yards. He looks

85
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 5: ready to go to me, and I thought was one

86
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 5: of the big stars of that joint practice.

87
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: He certainly was.

88
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 6: And that one crossing route, remember they had over the

89
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 6: middle of the football fields, he catches it with one

90
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 6: hand and that's a touchdown. I don't think anyone's catching

91
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 6: him from behind. And the crazy thing about it I

92
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 6: found really interesting was that there are players with the

93
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 6: Carolina Panthers. They were talking smack to him and saying

94
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 6: to myself, all right, why do you want to motivate

95
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 6: a guy that's clearly motivated? And that's one of the

96
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 6: key things that you do concern yourself with when a

97
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 6: guy has a career season, will he come back motivated?

98
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 6: And I'm convinced that Jerry Judy has come back motivated

99
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 6: and he's putting in the work. I see him and

100
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 6: catches after the practice are over. I see him running

101
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,119
Speaker 6: gassers as well with other teammates, So he's certainly putting

102
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:06,679
Speaker 6: in that work.

103
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 5: He certainly is. He's doing a great job. And you know,

104
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 5: those were some of the highlights. The other thing that

105
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 5: I thought was really good and watching kind of the

106
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 5: way the fields were, I was able to watch really

107
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 5: everything on the offense. But then I was really also

108
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 5: able to watch kind of the defensive line one on ones,

109
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 5: and then our defensive line. They did some stunts in

110
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 5: some games. I thought our defensive line and those were dominant.

111
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 5: We saw that certainly in Maria. We considered just continued

112
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 5: to see that against the Carolina Panthers. So I was

113
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 5: very pleased with that. And I thought our offensive line

114
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 5: in the team drills maybe not as good in the

115
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 5: run game as we would have liked. But you know,

116
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 5: that's something you have to go to the tape and

117
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 5: you have to understand what was the running back ass

118
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 5: to do all of those things that go into it.

119
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 5: But you know pass pro when you see it, and

120
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 5: our quarterbacks were kept very clean against the front of Carolina.

121
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 6: Right and correct me if I'm wrong. We're not used

122
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 6: to seeing that during the course of training camp, because

123
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 6: it seemed like every play or every other play, the

124
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 6: defensive line was getting in on the quarterback and it

125
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 6: wasn't even time too so up a play and throw it.

126
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 6: But that was not the case yesterday, by each stretch's imagination.

127
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 6: And there were some runs I thought were quality, true runs.

128
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 6: Had you run him in a game, Nathan were they

129
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 6: have been a positive big play as well. So I

130
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 6: like what I sawt of fort In Samson as well.

131
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was good. And I think the you know,

132
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 5: we've talked about it getting to go live. This team

133
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 5: went live for the first time in Kevin Stefanski's tenure.

134
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 5: They went live, and I thought that the physicality from

135
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 5: those live periods carried over and just listening to the

136
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 5: guys as I walked through, they really felt like they

137
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 5: were the more physical team. And there were a lot

138
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 5: of times in the past and these joint practices where

139
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 5: that was not the case, certainly on day one, and

140
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 5: so I think to see this team have that physicality

141
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 5: and kind of have that dog mentality and to be

142
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 5: the more physical team, and I believe that they were.

143
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 5: Certainly when you put the tape on, I thought that

144
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 5: was a real positive sign for this team, because this

145
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 5: team is not going to win by spreading you out

146
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 5: and throwing the ball five hundred times. We don't have

147
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 5: Joe Borough. This team is gonna win by being a

148
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 5: physical on defense, physical on offense, playing mistake free football

149
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 5: and winning tough, physical games.

150
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 6: Right and then field position with the special teams in

151
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 6: which you're taking advantage of that as well. But yeah,

152
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 6: it comes down to we call that trench warfare football,

153
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 6: where it's a cloud of dust and you make sure

154
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 6: that you make a minimum mount of mistakes and you

155
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 6: hold that other team down in the process and becomes

156
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 6: a battle of wills. And the only way to get

157
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 6: to that level of play you have to practice it.

158
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 6: You have to put yourself in the spot where mentally

159
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 6: and physically you're preparing yourself for that gauntlet of a test,

160
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 6: because that's a hard brand of football to play on

161
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 6: a consistent level. In order to do that, you have

162
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 6: to practice it. So it was great to see that

163
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 6: happen yesterday and that it transferred from our practice field

164
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 6: in Barria to over here in Charlotte, North Carolina. But

165
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 6: the other part to it, to Nathan, because we'recall when

166
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 6: the Minnesota Vikings came into town last year, I felt

167
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 6: we dominated that practice for the most part, and then

168
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 6: it was kind of first next day, Yeah, first day,

169
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 6: we clearly dominate it, and then we kind of got

170
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 6: away from that. What I'm looking forward to now is

171
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 6: seeing sustaining of that mentality this week against the Panthers

172
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,119
Speaker 6: and especially next week how can you not be amped

173
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 6: up for that? But I won't want to get ahead

174
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 6: of myself. But the whole point is stay consistent with it.

175
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 6: We have the ability to be that type of a

176
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 6: football team. It's just a matter of being consistent.

177
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 5: Right And next week you get the opportunity to have

178
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 5: two days. So if there is you know, if the

179
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 5: Browns come out and give it to the Super Bowl

180
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 5: champions on the very next day, guess what you're gonna

181
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 5: get everything from the Super Bowl champs. And if it's

182
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 5: the vice versa, if the champs get the best, you've

183
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 5: got to come back and bounce back this week in

184
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 5: the game. It's it's different. And Kevin STEFANSI you're gonna

185
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 5: hear I sit down with him earlier, sat down with

186
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 5: him earlier today that you're gonna hear on our program.

187
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 5: Kevin Stefanski said that you know, what he really liked

188
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 5: is that our best guys played the best. And so

189
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,719
Speaker 5: when you think about this season and where we are

190
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 5: before the first preseason game, your starters have gotten live

191
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 5: work this year, something that they had not gotten in

192
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 5: the past. And then your starter's got a lot of

193
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 5: work in this so they've basically gotten you know, forty

194
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 5: or fifty highly competitive snaps from your starters, and they

195
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 5: were the ones who really stood out, whether it be

196
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 5: Miles Garrett, we talked about Jerry Judy. I thought our

197
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 5: entire offensive line looked very good. Mason Graham looked good, MALIEK.

198
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 5: Collins look good, Alex Right, Isaiah maguire. You know all

199
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 5: of those guys, Denzel war, the guys that you're counting

200
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 5: on to be frontline players, looked that way in that

201
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 5: joint practice. And now you won't see them on Friday night, right,

202
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 5: you won't see them. But the main thing is get

203
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 5: that work in. And coach talked about it, and I

204
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 5: whole hartly agree. You need your best players to be

205
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 5: your best practicers. And the guys who are literally laying

206
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 5: on the line and showing away and giving guys example,

207
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 5: this is how it should be and will be done

208
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 5: in this locker room, and this is how we're gonna

209
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 5: get down to business.

210
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 6: And if you have that taking place, then you start

211
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 6: to build accountability. Then you start to have a situation

212
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 6: where a coaches starts to form around the idea that

213
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 6: we don't want to slack and if we do Slack.

214
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 6: It's gonna be point out by the coaches and most

215
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 6: importantly by the leaders in the locker room. And if

216
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 6: you get that dynamic going, Nathan, the sky is the

217
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 6: limit for what a football team can do.

218
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 2: Agreed.

219
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 5: And Now for as we turn our attention to this

220
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 5: preseason opener, the guys that will be there and the

221
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 5: guys that won't. Basically the starters, people who are starters

222
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 5: of consequence, that are veterans that are locked in, they

223
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 5: are not going to participate in this game. We know

224
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 5: Jerry Judy Etceederic Tillman, for example, at wide receiver. We

225
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,719
Speaker 5: know Kenny Pickett and Joe Flacco and Dylan Gabriel at

226
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 5: the quarterback position. I don't think you will see anybody

227
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 5: on the Brown starting offensive line. I do not think

228
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 5: you'll see David Nijoku in this game. Defensively, I don't

229
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 5: think you'll see I think you'll see the rookies like

230
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 5: Mason Graham and Carson Swessinger. But you're not going to

231
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 5: see Malie Collins. You're not going to see Miles Garrett,

232
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 5: You're not going to see Denzel Ward, You're not going

233
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 5: to see Greg Newsom. I would expect that you would

234
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 5: not see Grant Delpit either, So who will you see, Well,

235
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 5: we know what the quarterback position. It will be Shador Sanders,

236
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 5: currently fourth on the Browns depth chart, getting the start

237
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 5: this week because Dylan Gabriel and Kenny Pickett are battling

238
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 5: hamstring injuries and are not capable of playing in Joe Flacco.

239
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 5: You don't need to see Joe Flacco in these situations,

240
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 5: so it will be Shador Sanders starting. He's had some

241
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 5: good moments on the field. We know that he's had

242
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 5: a big development curve, we know that he is working

243
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 5: hard at it. I think it's going to be very interesting.

244
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 5: He's a gamer in my mind. The tape has always

245
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 5: been his strength. I'm curious to see what he can

246
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 5: do out there. Girod what are you looking for from

247
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 5: Shador Sanders?

248
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 6: What you just said, Doug, gamer gamer. That's the definition

249
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 6: where you know some of the things you may say, okay, well,

250
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 6: delivery might not be exactly where you want to be.

251
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: Placer might not be where you want to be.

252
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 6: The fine nuances may not exactly be where you wanted

253
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 6: him to be right now at this stage. But when

254
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 6: you step out on the football field, are you driving

255
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 6: up and down the football field, are you scoring points,

256
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 6: are you putting guys in position to see? And ultimately

257
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 6: are you winning football games? That's, in my mind a gamer,

258
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 6: and that's what I define him as. And I want

259
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 6: to see if that dynamic unfolds on Friday Night. I

260
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 6: want to see if he stays at that seventy percent clip,

261
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 6: because if he keeps doing that, Nathan, that shows me

262
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 6: and I already know this on what I've seen thus far,

263
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 6: that he's better than the fifth round draft pick, and

264
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 6: we already got a still in that regard. But if

265
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 6: he can continue to do that, you can't ignore that.

266
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 6: You have to pay attention to that. And more importantly,

267
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 6: if his teammates see that, if they feel that when

268
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 6: he's on a football field, they're getting better and they

269
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 6: have a greater chance to win, they're gonna support him

270
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 6: as well.

271
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 5: Yes, this is I think this is obviously big for

272
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 5: Shador Sanders. I don't think that there's anything that can

273
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 5: happen between now and the start of the season where

274
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 5: Shador Sanders is gonna elevate to be the Week one starter.

275
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 5: I't I really think it's it's gonna be Picket or Flacco,

276
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,599
Speaker 5: and if Pickett can't get healthy, it's definitely gonna be

277
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 5: Joe Flacco. This is an opportunity, though, for him to

278
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 5: show this team exactly, you know, what he can do

279
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 5: and why so many people were so high on him

280
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 5: coming out of college. And he's gonna be with the

281
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 5: guys that he's been practicing with all year. People are saying, oh,

282
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 5: how can you throw him out there? He doesn't have

283
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 5: the starts. Well, he hasn't got replece starters. He's got

284
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 5: reps with the guys that he is going to be

285
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 5: out there with. And you know, some of the young

286
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 5: receivers Luke Floria and Gage Larvadan who have played well.

287
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 5: Deontae Johnson will be out there with him. Harold Fannon

288
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 5: will be out there. So he's gonna have some pass catchers.

289
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 5: Is gonna have some guys out of the backfield that

290
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 5: are very talented. And you know what I want to

291
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,839
Speaker 5: see is just the operation. I think people forget that

292
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 5: this will be the first time he's gonna have to

293
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 5: go in the huddle and call you know, forty fifty

294
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 5: plays right in the huddle. He's never done that before.

295
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 5: And that operation you mentioned the pre snap penalties we

296
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 5: saw in that joint practice. That operation, I think is

297
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 5: job number one for Shador and then after that, once

298
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 5: it snapped, you go do what you do, deliver the

299
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 5: football accurately, make the plays that you make. You want

300
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 5: to get rid of it quick and not take the

301
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 5: sacks all of that. But I think it's just as

302
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 5: important that he can handle that pre snap part of

303
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 5: it as it is the post snap.

304
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 6: Right Well, it all starts there and that's where we

305
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 6: get into the find nuances of the game. It's not

306
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 6: like college. The difference, the great differentiator between college and

307
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 6: pro is that in the pros, you're in that huddle

308
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 6: and guys are hearing your voice and looking you in

309
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 6: your eyes, trying to figure out if you're confident, if

310
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 6: you have any cracks or shakes in your voice. We

311
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 6: sense it, we know it, we feel it. Hold up

312
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 6: a card is one thing, but being on the football

313
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 6: fill in the huddle is a whole different. Diyydmic that

314
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 6: it takes adjustment time too, So he'll put his best

315
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 6: foot forward by overcoming that and showing people that hey,

316
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 6: I am that guy, I am that quarterback. I do

317
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 6: take command of the huddle and I am a leader,

318
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 6: and if he shows those skill sets again, he'll only

319
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 6: help his cause. And for the people out there, Nathan

320
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 6: who are saying that the Browns are setting him up.

321
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,359
Speaker 1: For failure, I ridiculous.

322
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 6: I don't agree with it by any stretch of the imagination,

323
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 6: because in my mind, and probably in should do his mind,

324
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 6: he's saying the same thing. This is an opportunity anywhere

325
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 6: it goes, I come out on top. I'm getting a

326
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 6: chance to start. I was the fourth string quarterback. Now

327
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 6: he's not wishing any of his teammates were hurt, but

328
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 6: this is more rep than he could imagine he would

329
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 6: have probably gotten if Kenny Pickett and Dylan Gabriel was

330
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 6: still healthy and not unable to go. So this is

331
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 6: a great situation for him. Absolutely, this is an opportunity,

332
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 6: and I'll go back to it. Everybody who watched his tape,

333
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 6: who are very respected evaluators, everybody thought that was a

334
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 6: first or a second round pick on tape. He goes

335
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 6: in the fifth round. Are obviously factors that have nothing

336
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 6: to do with playing the game. Things that have to go,

337
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 6: whether it's your preparation, your abilities to process some of

338
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 6: those things, and the things that he wasn't asked to

339
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 6: do in college, so he's been getting coached up. I

340
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 6: know he has taken to that coaching very well, and

341
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 6: this is his first opportunity to really show that and

342
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 6: to show everybody in this organization and everybody in the

343
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 6: world the Browns have done everything. In fact, I think

344
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 6: to try to help him along. If you have somebody

345
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 6: that needs to ramp up, you don't just throw them

346
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 6: in and have them swim. And it's funny, you know,

347
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 6: you're not looking at people aren't looking at what the

348
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 6: reps of various other rookies around the league, and nobody's

349
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 6: really even in that concern necessarily with Dylan Gabriels reps.

350
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 6: That wouldn't be a story if we had three quarterbacks

351
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 6: in camp and it was Kenny Pickett, Joe Flack on

352
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 6: Dylan Gabriel. Nobody's even talking about Dylan Gabriel's reps. But

353
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 6: it's because of Shador and the fact that he comes

354
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 6: in as a celebrity, the fact that his father was

355
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 6: deon the fact that he was incredibly productive at Colorado,

356
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 6: the fact that he was the leading passer in terms

357
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 6: of accuracy in the history of college football. That's why

358
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 6: it happens. The guy through for sixty four touchdo downs

359
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 6: with thirteen interceptions in two seasons at Colorado, guy who

360
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 6: completed seventy point one percent of his passes for his

361
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 6: entire college career. People want to see that. And he's

362
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 6: Sdor Sanders, son of Dion, So this is going to

363
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 6: be that opportunity. And I think the Browns want him

364
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 6: to go out there and play well. I think that

365
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 6: that would be great for his confidence. I think it's

366
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 6: great for everybody in this building. So this is a

367
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 6: big opportunity, a big opportunity for him, and it's a

368
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 6: big opportunity for some more guys on this Browns team,

369
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 6: which we will talk about later when we come back, though,

370
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 6: we are going to hear from the head coach of

385
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 5: Welcome back to the Kevin Sabanski Show contented by the

386
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 5: Browns VIP Tailgate. Nathan Segura joined right now by the

387
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 5: head coach of your Cleveland Browns. All right, coach, Before

388
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 5: we get into the preseason opener tomorrow night, let's take

389
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 5: a step back and look at yesterday in that joint

390
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 5: practice that was first opportunity to get some work against

391
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 5: another football team. Overall, big picture, how do you think

392
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 5: that the Cleveland Browns did.

393
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was really pleased with yesterday. I thought the

394
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 3: guys competed like crazy, which is part of this when

395
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 3: you're going up against somebody in a different color jersey.

396
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 3: So they did a nice job really on the offensive side,

397
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 3: defensive side, special teams.

398
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 7: Just of that effort that's required.

399
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 2: Was it perfect? No, that's what you know.

400
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 3: We're chasing that perfection, but we can teach off of

401
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 3: some of the moments. But I thought our really good

402
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 3: players played really good. I think that's a great thing

403
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 3: for us as these guys are starting round into you know,

404
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 3: football shapes not the right way of putting it, because

405
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 3: it's not a conditioning thing, but as they round into

406
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 3: football form getting ready for a week one.

407
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 5: Well, one of the things that you talked about kind

408
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 5: of I think they want to training camp. We got

409
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 5: to you know, callous our minds, callous our bodies and

410
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:19,959
Speaker 5: for the first time in your tenure here, and if

411
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 5: I'm wrong about that, correct me. But we've had multiple

412
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 5: live tackling periods, including one that was a twenty plus

413
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 5: minute period. So let's just go to the genesis of

414
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 5: that decision. How did you arrive at that point? And

415
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 5: I can tell you I heard and talk to multiple

416
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 5: guys come outfield who are like, we were ray more

417
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 5: prepared for this joint practice than our opponents were.

418
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 3: Well, I would tell you we did go live previously,

419
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 3: but it was in COVID, so I don't know if

420
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 3: that Maybe that year doesn't count because there was no preseason,

421
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 3: so in our tenure, yes, we have gone live. But

422
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 3: I think the big picture, Nathan, is every season you

423
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 3: look at your football team and you try to figure

424
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 3: out what they need to get ready for the season.

425
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 3: And I look at what we've done in the past

426
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 3: or haven't done in the past, and are are there

427
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 3: opportunities are things that can get our football team ready

428
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 3: for a week one? So thought that there were some

429
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 3: opportunities to change up a little bit of our practice schedule,

430
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 3: as you mentioned, and certainly the live part is a

431
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 3: part of that as well, and then going against an

432
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 3: opponent in week one of the preseason. We have not

433
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 3: done that before. So I think if you couple those

434
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 3: live periods with an extra practice versus a team in

435
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 3: Week one, that leads to a lot of the decisions

436
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 3: and not playing the starters in the game versus Carolina

437
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 3: because they've gotten upwards of call it thirty six forty

438
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 3: plays in a live or very competitive thud period versus

439
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 3: another team.

440
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 1: Did you get the sense your players enjoyed it?

441
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 5: I certainly get sense that they felt very good about

442
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 5: where they're at because of those periods.

443
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 3: Yes, and listen, we've all been around a long time

444
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 3: where live was just part of it. Used to be

445
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 3: just part of training camp, and there's been Listen, the

446
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 3: evolution of football is real and the safety and something

447
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 3: we take very seriously. Having said that, if there's opportun

448
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 3: unities to do it in a safe environment, and you

449
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 3: know I would point out is the guys we had

450
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 3: all those live plays and we didn't sustain injuries from those,

451
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 3: and the reason is we had buy in from our

452
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 3: football team and our defensive players tackled up high. We

453
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 3: didn't have any low tackling. We didn't have any cut blocks. Obviously,

454
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 3: we didn't bring the tight end across and cut the

455
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,959
Speaker 3: defensive end down. So I think there's ways to do

456
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 3: it and do it in a safe environment.

457
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 5: So it was a good success yesterday, he saw what

458
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 5: you wanted to see. Let's talk about the quarterbacks because

459
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 5: all of them did get some work and we know

460
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 5: that we won't see Joe and then Kenny and Dylan

461
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 5: are nursing their hamstring injuries. But what did you see

462
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 5: in the periods that they were able to get.

463
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought they all did a nice job trying

464
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 3: to get everybody as much work as as we can

465
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 3: when we're down here. Obviously, Shadoor will get the majority

466
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 3: of the game, so he's going to get call it

467
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 3: fifty plays of game work work, which I think will

468
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 3: be great for him. I think Snoop will get him

469
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 3: in there later in the game as well. I want

470
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 3: to be smart about that with the fact that Ty

471
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 3: just got here, so don't want to just throw him

472
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 3: out there. But if he's ready, we'll get him out

473
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 3: there as well. And then in the practice itself, trying

474
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 3: to make sure that they all get get their moments. Obviously,

475
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 3: Kenny and Dylan are limited by their injuries right now,

476
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 3: so they could really only do seven on seven and

477
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 3: if we put them in a team drill, it was catch, set, throw,

478
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 3: and get the ball out, not asking them to move

479
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 3: too much.

480
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 5: How about Snoop who was with you and I know

481
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 5: it was very well liked in the locker room and

482
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,959
Speaker 5: certainly in the building last year in training camp, and

483
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 5: you get him back in here, sign him on a Tuesday,

484
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 5: he gets on a plane and he practices on Wednesday.

485
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love him.

486
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 3: He Snoop's one of my favorite guys, favorite teammate. This

487
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 3: guy just loves ball. I mean eats it, drinks it,

488
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 3: sleeps it. He just wants to spend every waking minute

489
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 3: in this meeting room watching tape. So it's been really

490
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 3: fun just having him back around. His energy is infectious,

491
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 3: and the kid just wants to be part of a

492
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 3: football team. And luckily we were in need of somebody

493
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 3: that could come in and operate quickly. The fact that

494
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 3: he was with us last season, although we've evolved quite

495
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 3: a bit enough of a general understanding of our terminology

496
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 3: where he can go out and play.

497
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 5: Everybody's excited to see the rookies first preseason game gets

498
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 5: see him. You got to see them in the competitive

499
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 5: situation yesterday. But you know, from Mason on down. We

500
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 5: mentioned the quarterbacks. But Mason and Harold and you know

501
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 5: Dylan and Carson, how did they do in your eyes?

502
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 5: And are you also excited to see them actually play

503
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 5: football for the first time?

504
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 2: I am.

505
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 3: Now. You know, it's interesting because Dylan Samson has been

506
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 3: tackled it feels like fifty times in practice by our guys.

507
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:30,719
Speaker 1: So I've seen Carson.

508
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 3: In fact, by Carson, I've seen a lot of that,

509
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 3: So I think this first game is really a step

510
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 3: in that direction. Let's get them in their uniform, like,

511
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 3: let's get them through pregame warm up. Let's get them

512
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 3: some game action, but it's not an extended look. That

513
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 3: extended look will come later, but they've gotten a ton

514
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 3: of good reps in practice and in these joint sessions.

515
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 5: When you look at kind of this rosters you go

516
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 5: through and maybe from injury, some of the questions that arise,

517
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 5: for example, in.

518
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: The cornerback room, how big is this game?

519
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 5: In your evaluation of Okay, we've got Greg and we

520
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 5: played Greg outside, we've played Greg inside. We know where

521
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 5: Denzel is going to be, but we need to find

522
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 5: that third corner. Is that going to be a nickel

523
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 5: that's going to keep Greg outside the whole time? Or

524
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 5: is that third corner? Actually do we like it? You know,

525
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 5: we go with the base, We have Greg outside, and

526
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 5: when it comes to the nickel, he slides back in

527
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 5: as he did with MJ.

528
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: How big is this game?

529
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 5: And really the next probably two weeks for that position,

530
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 5: So the find k who's cornerback?

531
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: Who's cornerback for?

532
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a big deal.

533
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 3: And that's what training camps about the preseasons about it is,

534
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 3: while we're getting the team ready, we're also evaluating our players.

535
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 3: And part of an evaluation is putting them in the

536
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 3: best position literally to succeed. So where and you know,

537
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 3: take an offensive player, is the best inside as a

538
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 3: slot receiver, is the best outside as a tight end?

539
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 2: Hey? Do we like him inline or do we like

540
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 2: him more as.

541
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 3: An f So that's the same conversation you're having with

542
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 3: a lot of your corners. Is this guy a better

543
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 3: inside outside player? Does he have flex? So I think

544
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 3: part of it with MJ's injury is we do have

545
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 3: to see what the best combination.

546
00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 2: Is for our players.

547
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 3: Greg's football player. Greg could play inside, Greg could play outside,

548
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 3: Greg could play safety. In the meantime, we'll get them

549
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 3: some work outside as Greg gets healthy, and then figure

550
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 3: out our guys that we feel really good about what

551
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 3: they look like inside. And I'd point out two guys

552
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 3: in particular, Cam Mitchell and Miles hard And have played

553
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 3: for us and have played well and played inside. So

554
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 3: we just are going to continue our evaluation of them

555
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 3: over the next few weeks.

556
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: So these they'll play a lot then correct.

557
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 2: Okay.

558
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 5: One of the thing we always like, you know, the

559
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 5: Alburria guys, and I think certainly in the receiver room,

560
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 5: we had a couple of Luke Floord has made a

561
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 5: lot of plays, has look very good, created separation, and

562
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 5: Gage Larvindans consistently made plays as well.

563
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 1: For those guys, this is.

564
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 5: Kind of a real reward, right, an opportunity on a

565
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 5: big stage to put keep going forward like that when

566
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 5: you see these young guys that you guys are able

567
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 5: to kind of find and they're able to have that success.

568
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 5: Number one, as a coach, I'm sure that's got to

569
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 5: be somewhat rewarding. And number two, you know, what do

570
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 5: you want to see when with the lights on with

571
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 5: those guys?

572
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 3: You know, I think the big thing and you're mentioning

573
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 3: the lights and it's true, and we'll actually meet with

574
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 3: the rookies about this very thing. You have to take

575
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 3: the practice field to the game field. What you don't

576
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 3: want to do is, hey, the lights are on, I

577
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 3: want to go perform. I want to go do something

578
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 3: different than I've done on the practice field. And that

579
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 3: would be the complete opposite of what you should do.

580
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 3: You should just take that preparation, all the work you've

581
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 3: done on the field in the meeting rooms and apply

582
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 3: that into the game, regardless of the fact that they're

583
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 3: keeping score and it's in a game setting under the lights,

584
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 3: like you mentioned. But if those guys just continue to

585
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 3: do what they have been doing, they'll.

586
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 2: Be just fine. All right.

587
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 5: Yesterday or we saw some field goals attempted at very

588
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 5: small uprights, but they weren't even straight. I don't know

589
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:33,719
Speaker 5: exactly what they were going for with those up rights.

590
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 2: They're called the skinnies.

591
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, we've seen skinnies. Though we have skinnies, but they're

592
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 5: at least still upright there. We're very wonky. Nonetheless, Dustin

593
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 5: Hopkins was splitting these wonky uprights. Seems like he's had

594
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 5: a very good off season kicking the ball. What have

595
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 5: you seen from him? Because two years ago he was

596
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 5: so good, so instrumental in many ways, and our ability

597
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 5: to get to the playoffs last year not as good

598
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 5: from him. What have you seen and how confident are

599
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:56,719
Speaker 5: you that he can return to that for him?

600
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm very confident.

601
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 3: And he's been with the team all spring long. He

602
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 3: committed to being at the offseason program, committed to getting better.

603
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 3: He's been incredible through offseason, been incredible through these training

604
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 3: camp practices, and then this is again the next step

605
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 3: for him is going in these preseason games and grooving

606
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 3: that ball and seeing that ball come off your foot

607
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 3: and make sure that your technique is where you want it.

608
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 3: But I want to get him some opportunities in these

609
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 3: games as well, just so he can take all that

610
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 3: hard work that he's been doing in the offseason and

611
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 3: applied here.

612
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 5: One thing we've been kind of searching for during your

613
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 5: tenure is a kick returner, and it feels like in

614
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 5: DeAndre Carter, we have one. For a variety of reasons,

615
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 5: they have never quite yet made it to the season.

616
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 5: We'll knock on wood that that is not the case

617
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,479
Speaker 5: one more time. How do you plan to use him?

618
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 5: Because I know you want to get him some work.

619
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 5: At the same time, it's like we know the history.

620
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 5: We want him Week one against Cincinnati.

621
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,360
Speaker 3: DeAndre won't return in this game. He's gotten a ton

622
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 3: of good work in practice.

623
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 2: He's a vet.

624
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 3: We've seen he's a ton of reps on tape. So

625
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 3: we'll get him some work in games coming up here.

626
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 3: But this one felt like the right decision. Just take

627
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 3: a look at some of the other guys.

628
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 5: Has he shown you a little more, maybe even as

629
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 5: a receiver than perhaps we expect. I know he had

630
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 5: the five hundred yard season with the Chargers.

631
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 1: But he's made a lot of places.

632
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a guy that we really really trust. You

633
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 3: can put him out there really playing any position. You

634
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 3: know he's gonna do his job, do it at a

635
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 3: high level. Run his route, catch the ball, pretty simple

636
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 3: thought process. But he's a guy that we're not saying

637
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 3: is just a returner. He can give us stepth in

638
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 3: the wide receiver room.

639
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 5: One of the things I think is always cool about

640
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 5: it when I observe you coaching is when a legend

641
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 5: comes back, you're always so.

642
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: Interested in talking with him. I loved being.

643
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 5: A fly Wall when he came over and talked to

644
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 5: Bernie and I during that preseason practice. Well, you have

645
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 5: a legend back right now who's coaching the hof Joe

646
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 5: Thomas And really has kind of taken Dewan under his wing,

647
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 5: and it's been awesome watching. I know Joe's super thrilled

648
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 5: to be doing it. It seems like the Wand is

649
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 5: really thriving under his tutelage. That's got to seem like

650
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 5: a cool bonus. And now Joel Batonia said, you guys

651
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 5: are trying to pull together a fund to bring him

652
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 5: in full time here. But what's it been like seeing

653
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 5: Joe work and work with a guy like the Wand.

654
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, coach Thomas as we call him, is doing a

655
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 3: great job. Yeah, I don't think we can afford.

656
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: Him unfortunately, big rate, big rate coach.

657
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 3: But Joe's Joe is obsessed with technique. He loves technique.

658
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 3: I mean, he just he could talk it all day.

659
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 3: So we're we're just taking we're pulling that out of him.

660
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 3: And and certainly Dewan is a beneficiary. But I'll tell

661
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 3: you our line coaches are loving having Joe around and

662
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 3: just hearing how he talks about the game, the minutia

663
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 3: of that position. I don't think the average viewer or

664
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 3: listener gets a feel for that and how much goes

665
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 3: into this these players along the offensive line. It can

666
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 3: look thankless at times, it can look you know, just

667
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 3: physical times, but there's a lot of thought that goes

668
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 3: into it, and Joe's desire to pass along his knowledge

669
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 3: of technique has been fun to watch.

670
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: Got give me right next to us?

671
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 2: Give me?

672
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 5: I think we need to find the clip. There was

673
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 5: a clip from Browns Daily a few years ago where

674
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 5: I asked Joe simply that the question what went through

675
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 5: your mind from the time the play was called to

676
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 5: the time the ball was snapped. He talked twenty minutes

677
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 5: NonStop about the checklists and now he'd get trell sugs

678
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 5: because of where his toe was.

679
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: And he used to drive to like just.

680
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 5: The minutia for somebody that good and then to think

681
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 5: that they're also a supercomputer and it's nuts.

682
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's incredible.

683
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 2: And again.

684
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 3: All of that, what he's doing is trying to pass

685
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 3: that along to our young players. Obviously, Dewan playing left

686
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 3: tackle and Joe knows that position. Well, I think that's

687
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 3: we're so lucky to be able to have a guy

688
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 3: that can stand there talk to. Dewan has the credentials

689
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 3: that you know, there's not very few have in the

690
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 3: respect and it's been fun to watch.

691
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 5: All Right, we'll get you out here on this one

692
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 5: because I know we like one on ones and I'm

693
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 5: sure you get in the film room after a joint

694
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 5: practice and there's some good ones.

695
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: Miles.

696
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 5: The eurostep was pretty good, But did Alex write and

697
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 5: so great see him back Basically flipping a guy, a

698
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 5: human grown, a giant grown man over that had to

699
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 5: get you pretty f well.

700
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 2: He did it.

701
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 7: In one on ones.

702
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 2: He also did on kickoff.

703
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 3: Yeah he did flat somebody alex Is. He's a no,

704
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 3: no fair dodge and he's going straight ahead and uh,

705
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 3: you don't get get out of his way. But that's uh,

706
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 3: he's got a great skill set. Great to have him

707
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 3: back out there healthy. But he plays the game really

708
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 3: at one speed. And you saw it the other day.

709
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 5: For a guy like him, take Isaiah, Joe, try and

710
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 5: shrinko who's come in acquires looked good time. I mean

711
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 5: there's a lot that room has a lot of guys.

712
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 5: Is this a real opportunity and it's a rotation. Servey's

713
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 5: gonna play that's the way Jim does it. But you

714
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 5: know you're gonna get a little bit against the starters.

715
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 5: Like are those twelve plays where you see maybe guys

716
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 5: who are in that mix for a role. Okay, now

717
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 5: you're going against their starters. Is that some real good

718
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 5: tape to try to pull out of here?

719
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 2: Yeah?

720
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 3: I think yes, it's all part of the evaluation. But

721
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 3: but you're exactly right, those those back up that end

722
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 3: position is extremely competitive and I like all those guys.

723
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 3: They all play with great effort, So that that's that's

724
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 3: definitely one to watch and they're gonna make tough decisions

725
00:30:58,120 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 3: for us.

726
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 5: You know it's gonna be a lot of fun. I'm

727
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 5: or you're excited to see your team play some football

811
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 8: like for him? Pretty cool rookie quarterback getting his first

812

00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 9: tomorrow would be the time for him to prove it.

817
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 8: You know, are you getting that like from friends and family,

818
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 8: like what what's the guy?

819
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 2: Like?

820
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean everybody always want to know, you know,

821
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,040

822
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 9: just shot man. You know, I'm you know, I'm behind him. Obviously,

823
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 9: I'm playing with them. So we're gonna show it's.

824
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 8: A shot for everybody here. Let's go back to the draft.

825
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 8: Andrew Berry said, do you play chess by the way?

826
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 2: Uh no, no, no, no.

827
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 8: Well, Andrew Barry called you the queen on the chessboard,

828
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 8: Like the queen's the most powerful player on the board.

829
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 8: Go left, can go right, and go up, can go down,

830
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,959
Speaker 8: could go diagonally. And he said that you're the queen

831
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 8: of the chessboard because hey, you could stand up, you

832
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 8: can go out wide, you can put your hand down,

833
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 8: We could put you in the backfield, you could run

834
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 8: the jet suite. You can do almost anything. What's that

835
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 8: like when you get out there during training camp and

836
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 8: you don't just have like a traditional tight end role

837
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 8: to learn, You're you're kind of learning every bit of

838
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 8: the offense.

839
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 9: I guess just like I guess like learning a playbook

840
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 9: might be a little bit distressful, But like when you

841
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:42,720
Speaker 9: just whenever we just hide.

842
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 2: The ball we play. I mean, it's just football.

843
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 9: At the end of the day, I say, I guess

844
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 9: I'm gonna have to you know, stay a little longer

845
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 9: and get some extra work done, you know, just actually

846
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 9: know what I'm doing, how they want it done.

847
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 2: Things like that. But yeah, it's just football.

848
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 7: The other thing he said is people.

849
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 8: Just assume you're not a blocker because you've got these

850
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 8: big stars. But most people say when they look at

851
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 8: tight ends coming out of the draft that they want

852
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,839
Speaker 8: to see a willingness to block, right, Like, as long

853
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 8: as the guy's able to as I say, like put

854
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 8: his face in the fan, like, be willing to block,

855
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,240
Speaker 8: then we can work with that player coming into the NFL.

856
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 8: How do you feel your blocking game is going?

857
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 2: I feel like you described it perfect, you know what

858
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 2: I mean.

859
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 9: It ain't pretty, but you know, obviously I just got

860
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 9: to get the job done, you know whatever, to you know,

861
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 9: help the team to win.

862
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 8: I mean, you have to line up against Miles sometimes

863
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 8: in practice.

864
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 2: Right yeah? Sometimes? Yeah?

865
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 7: What's that been like?

866
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,399
Speaker 9: Oh man, you know, I just sometimes you sitting there like, man,

867
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 9: I hope you dropped back in coverage, which he never does,

868
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,479
Speaker 9: but it's definitely a learning experience. And obviously he's better

869
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 9: than me because you know how great he.

870
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 2: Is what he doing.

871
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 8: But you know you're not the only one, right, Like,

872
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 8: if he beats you, like Dwan's got to deal with it.

873
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 7: Joint practice yesterday, iky.

874
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 8: Akwanu, the Panthers left tackle who's a former top ten pick.

875
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 8: Like there was one move where like Miles Miles kind

876
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,439
Speaker 8: of did a euro step on him and the dude

877
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 8: just whiffed. So, I mean, you're not alone in.

878
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 9: This most definitely not. I mean everybody kind of just

879
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 9: got to experience it. But uh yeah, man, well Miles,

880
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 9: you're not really thinking about you know, you know, you

881
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 9: just really think I just need a hold up for

882
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 9: this amount of time. You're not really thinking about blocking

883
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:26,919
Speaker 9: or dominating them in the past or anything like that.

884
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 7: Harold Fanner, what said the tight end room been like

885
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,680

886
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 2: If anything? So far?

00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 7: He's he's got a big personality.

888
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 9: Yeah, I feel like just David h I definitely say

889
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 9: like it's or around him. I definitely just he just

890
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 9: kind of got to just want you to show your personality,

891
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 9: you know, just be yourself really and you know, obviously

892
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 9: working with them, you know, being on the field with

893
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 9: them is you know, it's been awesome. Obviously got a

894
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 9: lot of experience. So just trying to take, you know,

895
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 9: how he does his game and try to kind of

896
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 9: put that into my game.

897
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 8: You're not going to totally walk into his shoes, so

898
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,839
Speaker 8: to speak. You're gonna keep your shirt on walking around

900
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,439
Speaker 9: Right, Yeah, not not that far. Just saw a little

901
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 9: bit more personality, not that much.

902
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 8: We'll hope to see some of that personality. Hope to

903

Speaker 6: I'm looking at that pan close attention to how those

935
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 6: guys perform, and you mentioned him in an interview with

936
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 6: coach Tefanski how well they've been playing. So that's appreciative

937
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:44,919
Speaker 6: that they're getting noted in that regard. But I'm looking

938
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:46,799
Speaker 6: at that, and I'm also looking at the receiver room

939
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,839
Speaker 6: in particular Deontay Johnson. I think he has a great

940
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 6: chance to help contribute on this offense, Nathan, and if

941
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 6: he can make some plays, that's gonna certainly help his cause.

942
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 5: Yes, I will. And then I'll give you another one.

943
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 5: I'm gonna watch the cornerbacks because outside of Denzel Ward

944
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 5: and Greg Newsom, it feels wide open to me. Cam Mitchell,

945
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 5: you know in his career, he's made a couple of

946
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,800
Speaker 5: starts for the Cleveland Browns last year just one start,

947
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 5: but he hasn't been that full time guy. Can he

948
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 5: play man demand the way Jim Schwartz wants to.

949
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 2: Is it?

950
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 5: Miles Harden, who only played four games for the Browns

951
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 5: a year ago and the seventh round pick out of

952
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 5: South Dakota. Nick Needham is a veteran who's got sixty

953
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 5: three games and twenty seven starts, but his last interception

954
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 5: came in twenty twenty one, only played in twenty two games.

955
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 5: Last year was on a practice squad down for Miami.

956
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 5: So there really isn't a clear answer. Cam Mitchell'll get

957
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 5: the first shot, Miles Hard and I think that battle

958
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 5: is important. And then on the outside, who's the next

959
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 5: guy up on the outside? Is it Chickaz and Usium?

960
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 5: Is it Tony Brown? Is it Keenan Eisen? Is it

961
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 5: an under after free agent Lamar and James. You know,

962
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 5: you look at this cornerback room and it's kind of amazing.

963
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 5: Denzel Ward's a first round pick, Greg Newsom's a first

964
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 5: round pick, Cam Mitchell a fifth round pick, Miles Hard

965
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 5: and a seventh round pick right after that, Anusium undrafted

966
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 5: free agent, Lamaron James, undrafted free agent, Keenan Isaac, undrafted

967
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 5: free agent. Nick Needham was an undrafted free agent. Tony

968
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 5: Brown was an undrafted free agent, Dom Jones undrafted free agent.

969
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 5: We only have four guys in our cornerback room period

970
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 5: who are drafted to play cornerback in the National Football League,

971
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 5: So to me, that is a big one to watch, Drod, Yeah,

972
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 5: it certainly is. But the beautiful thing that we do

973
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 5: have with those guys you mentioned they're undrafted sometimes, Nathan,

974
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 5: those are the guys you really appreciate because they had

975
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 5: to have done some amazing things to one make NFL roster.

976
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 5: So you know they're tough, you know they're gonna bring it,

977
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,399
Speaker 5: and you know that they have a work ethic with them.

978
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 5: Because you simply as undrafted free agent and you make

979
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,439
Speaker 5: NFL squad and you stick around four years, that lets

980
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 5: me know that you are a tough individual and that

981
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,720
Speaker 5: you have moxie and all those things that are necessary

982
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 5: to play football at a high level to contribute. Yeah,

983
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 5: it's gonna be a lot of fun, a lot of

984
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 5: things to watch beyond just Shador Sanders. Of course, that

985
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 5: is the headline. We'll be back with our final thoughts

1003
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,280

1004
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 5: is up for you going into preseason Game one?

1005
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 6: As for me is Deontay Johnson. I love what I'm

1006
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 6: seeing in practice Nathan that I love the fact that yesterday,

1007
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 6: for example, the he can get the pass he put

1008
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 6: did such a pretty move on a corner route and

1009
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 6: I was like, good route dog. I had to give

1010
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 6: him his agnolgen and his props even though he can

1011
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 6: get the football. So I see him making progress. So

1012
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 6: I think for him, the stock is up and if

1013
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 6: he goes out there and performance well tomorrow, that'll only

1014
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:15,600

Speaker 5: It will for me. Stack up, I'm gonna go, Alex. Right,

1016
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 5: It's good to see him back. You know, last year

1017
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:22,439
Speaker 5: season cut short due to injuries. He had the big

1018
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 5: sack down in Jacksonville that allowed us to get that win.

1019
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 5: Finished the season prior to that with the sack in

1020
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 5: each of the five and five straight games. So I'm

1021
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 5: excited he's back. I thought he had a great joint practice.
