1
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: How do look at the roster and what we have

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: in the coaching staff. We should win games. We had

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 1: to performed though. We're gonna hold ourselves to the high

4
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: standard no matter what happens. And on defense, gonna do

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:13,319
Speaker 1: what they do and the last time I heard they

6
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: can't win at telescope points. This is the Cleveland Browns

Speaker 1: hear your voice. Away we go with four down first. Alright,

19
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: first things first for your Cleveland Browns Saints seventeen Browns ten.

20
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: Saints ruined the Brown's Christmas by eliminating the Browns from

21
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 1: playoff contention. Just a rough day and extreme conditions by

22
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 1: the Browns as they fall to six and nine. Gerard,

23
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: what did you see when you're on there on the field, Well,

24
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: what I saw was simply put a Saints team that

25
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: did not quit. We're downten, nothing to say, you know what,

26
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: we're embracing the elmis we got on his plane. We're

27
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: not with with our families right now, so we might

28
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: as well make the most of it. And you know

29
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: what they did. They made the most of it. Took

30
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 1: all that football game from a physical standpoint, from execution standpoint,

31
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: and simply show that they wanted more. And guess what

32
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: they got the win. It was. It was obviously bitterly cold.

33
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: You were down there on the field. You saw how

34
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: everything went down, you know for the Browns, and how

35
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: things went defensively, you know, trying to be able to

36
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: hold things down. Did you did you think we'd see

37
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: as much Taysom Hill as we add up seeing him?

38
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: You did go ahead of courtion to see him because

39
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: he can run the football in those conditions. What do

40
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: you wanna do you want to run the football? And

41
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: on top of that, if guys, if it takes three

42
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: or four guys that bring you down every time you

43
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: touch the football, why would you not keep running them?

44
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: So it made all the sense in the world to

45
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: utilize him. They try passing, they try getting Dalton involved,

46
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: and that obviously didn't work. So what do they do.

47
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: They went to a situation when they pretty much brought

48
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: back to wildcat and it worked very well. Yes, it

49
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: did on the second down, second down, planning to play

50
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: for with two games left, the offense continuing to try

51
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: to mold with new quarterback DeShawn Watson, opportunities for guys

52
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: to put film out there, playing for pride, giving yourself

53
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: a momentum going into the off season, so on and

54
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: so forth. Deshaun Watson talked about that, said that there's

55
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: a lot of things that they have to play for.

56
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: You're going back to that game back on Saturday, Gerard,

57
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: I think that you know, you go back to the

58
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: fourth and ten, the sack that ends the football game.

59
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of frustration boiling over where you

60
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: have Donovan People's Jones, who who probably should have had

61
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: to catch in the corner. You go from David and

62
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,399
Speaker 1: Joke who probably should have had to catch you over

63
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: the top, you had the slip and fall. I am

64
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: Marii Cooper. That could have been a touchdown as well.

65
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: I mean you have three plays right there that probably

66
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: could have been touchdowns. And I feel that de Sean

67
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: felt like he had to do everything himself and a

68
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: letter that sacking end of the football game, right because

69
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: at some point it's like, Okay, I gotta make a play.

70
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: I gutta stay alive, and ultimately they're gonna get to you.

71
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: Fourth play, fourth attempt, They're gonna figure things out. Guys

72
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: are gonna adjust on the deepen acide. But I'm not

73
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: looking and not saying that you're suggested this by any

74
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: stretch imagination. For those who are, though, that game was

75
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: not Deshaun Watson's fault. He put his team in a

76
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: position to tie the game and if you went for

77
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: the two point conversion, win the game. He got the

78
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: football and drove his football team obviously doesn't do alone

79
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: down the field and put it in a position to

80
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: actually score. And on two occasions you should have at

81
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: least been at the goal line or scored, but balls

82
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: would drop because guys simply what didn't make plays. So

83
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: I walk away from there saying, yeah, it's a fourth

84
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: down sack. Of people say you can't take that sack. Well,

85
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: the man put the team in three out of four times.

86
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: At some point, the deepensive guys get paid to trout.

87
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: How would you go about molding that offense around around

88
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson at this time two games left? What is

89
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: there still left to do? Well? At this point it's

90
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: about Deshaun Watson. You might as well just no matter

91
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: what the circumstances is past and let him work on connecting. Now,

92
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: we say this all time, and in some cases is

93
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: true about momentum for the next season, and there's it

94
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: can be the case. But also you can have a

95
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: situation where you play well next season, you rest on

96
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: your laurels, and you get your butt kicked throughout the

97
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: course of the season. So ultimately, how if I was

98
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: on this football team, how I would be approaching is

99
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: that I better go out there this we could practice

100
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: and prepare like I've never prepared before, and give an

101
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: effort like I've never given before and showed this football

102
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: team that I could be part of solution along with

103
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: the Shawn Watson and ultimately from a play calling standpoint, Yeah,

104
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: see which receivers work, See where the Shawn could work

105
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: on that chemistry with Coope, with Diamond, people's jones within

106
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: Joe Coup and the other guys out there to young guys,

107
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: give them opportunity as well, because old Tom that it's

108
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: gonna be a fifty degree with us that you might

109
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: will pass it. Yeah, it's gonna be much nicer for

110
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: everybody over there in FedEx Field. It's gonna be nicer

111
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: throughout the country. Contindering considering how bitterly, terribly cold it

112
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: was all throughout basically the north part. Well, goodness, I

113
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: I heard what was it on Saturday morning? What was

114
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: it like? Forty eight degrees on South Beach? I think

115
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: it wasn't that time, So it was pretty cool over

116
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: it over on South Beach. So I can't even say,

117
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: I guess it's bitter cold to them, So I'll say

118
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: it was better cold throughout the country back on Saturday.

119
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: Let's go to third Down Down. Well, it's official. Jack

120
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: Conkland signs a multi year extension and remain remain a

121
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: member of the Cleveland rounds. The entire starting offensive line

122
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: is said, except Ethan Posting is said to be back

123
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: for next season. Drawte, how do you see this offensive

124
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: line shaping up? Well, ultimately, that guy's in the contract.

125
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: So that's a beautiful thing. And also to what you

126
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: hope is that Ethan Posting does not get plucked from

127
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: us and then he remains the Cleveland Brown because I'm

128
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: gonna tell you can't. If you got a guy that's

129
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: playing in the top five NFL centers on how he

130
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: goes about his business, do you want to get rid

131
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: of that guy? I would say no, you want to

132
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: keep that guy within the fold and the offensive line

133
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: obviously from a run blacking standpoint, has been tremendous when

134
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: he's been on the football field. Um, I like what

135
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: Ethan Postic has done. You know with Jack Conklin, I

136
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: think I think it says two things. I think that

137
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: you know, at first, I thought that he might be

138
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: a casualty because of his salary. At first, when I

139
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: saw the four years, I was a little surprised. And

140
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: then you know, when you look at it, you see, okay,

141
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: it's two years, thirty one million. The guaranteed over that

142
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: I said, Okay, that's about the going rate for a

143
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: right tackle, especially a Federan right tackle who's been good.

144
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: I think that you have to look at the market,

145
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: the market. Are you gonna end up paying as just

146
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: as much for a guy who's not as good? Probably

147
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: if you're gonna go to the open market. Also, do

148
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: you have to go to the draft And are you

149
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: creating a whole by letting go of Jack Conklin if

150
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: you were going to go into the draft. I think

151
00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: that that's a question that you have to ask yourself.

152
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: You know, James Hudson, I think he's close. I think

153
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: that James compete next year. I think you can. I

154
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: think you compete for a roster spot next year. I

155
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: think that when we look across this offensive. Oh excuse me,

156
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: starting spot, not a roster spot, a starting spot. I

157
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: beg your partner. I meant I should have said starting spot. Uh,

158
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: and I mean starting spot. I think he's right there.

159
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: You know, Ethan postic is gonna be a conversation had

160
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: because you're gonna have Nick Harris back, and they had

161
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: a lot of hope for Nick Harris, and now I

162
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: think it's a little bit more of an even even

163
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: playing field where you've had Ethan put something down on

164
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: paper and on tape that's been very very good throughout

165
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: this season and unfortunately had that a c L injury

166
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: in the first preseason game. He's a draft pick by

167
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: this team. You know, they like their draft picks. So

168
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: we'll see how this thing plays out. But I think

169
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: if you're an offensive line fan, I think it's gonna

170
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how this offseason shapes up for

171
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Bron's heading into When when you bring in

172
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: Jedwick Wills into the conversation, you bring an Ethan Postic

173
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: into the conversation as well as Nick Harris at those

174
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: two positions at left tackle and center. You know, I

175
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: think it's I think it's a big conversation to have

176
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: because this offensive line at one time was the pride

177
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: of the entire a f C. I think that it

178
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: can still be there, but you've had to have guys

179
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: stay healthy because when you have to go down to

180
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: your fourth team center, you're gonna have problems there. And

181
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: I think that's Bill Callahan's tried to do us best

182
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: with it. I think that their offenses trying to do

183
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: their best with it. Alex van Pel, Kevin Stefanski. There's

184
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: only so much you can do when you lose that

185
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: many people at one position, especially a position is important

186
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: as center. All right, we go to fourth down, fourth down.

187
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz on Sunday. Gerard Carson Wentz thoughts interesting on Sunday,

188
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: No less, I mean the interesting thing about it as

189
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: he came in and he almost had a couple of mishaps,

190
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 1: but obviously didn't play as well. As I can always

191
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 1: struggle and say his guys hanky hankey, I can't say

192
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 1: his name. I always think a minor key, and so

193
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 1: it helps me say Heinecki there. So he came in

194
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 1: and look at and if you look at his attempts

195
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 1: and completions at tips, it looks it looks good. But

196
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 1: I'm like, do you really make this move in the

197
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: midst of a run in which one guy was primarily

198
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: responsible for where you're at? Why make that move? Makes

199
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: no sense to me. If they made that move, I

200
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: think he's proven Oh, I think he's proven it right now,

201
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: I really do. I think that. I think that hine

202
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: is proving it right now. Now. I think that Ron

203
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: Rivera has done a fine job, a fine job, but

204
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: yet that Giant's game there was a tie. Then he

205
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: had a bye week. Point when a late bye week

206
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 1: after December four for crying out luck. Then you have

207
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 1: a loss to the Giants again after the bye week,

208
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: where those are two games that you could have won.

209
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: You got robbed in San Francisco. San Francisco fairer, but

210
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: San Francisco. I didn't think you're gonna have a chance

211
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: at all. And I think that when you look at

212
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 1: Tyler Taylor, Heinekey, I think you're seeing what he is.

213
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: I think that he's a guy who can come in

214
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 1: and play and you can win a few games with.

215
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: But I don't think that he's a clearcut starter in

216
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: the NFL, certainly not yet. So I think that Ron Rivera,

217
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: I think it's Hail marytime for for the Washington football team, right,

218
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: excuse me for the Washington Commanders. I think that they're

219
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: trying to. I think they're trying. I'm watching Sam Pittman

220
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: lose his mind right now, almost Bill Coward style in

221
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,599
Speaker 1: the Liberty Bowl. So that took my attention for a

222
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: second there. I mean it was almost like I thought

223
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: he was gonna bring a photo down and stuff and

224
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: in somewhat sure. Pocket Um. I think that Ron Rivera

225
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: is looking at it, going, all right, we're seven seven

226
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: and one, we're trying to make the playoffs here. We've

227
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: lost two big games, three big games in a row,

228
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 1: two big games in a row and that tie. And

229
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna try something with Carson Wentz and

230
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: if we'll see if it works, because I think the

231
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: Taylor Honeke has been figured out. Well baby, But I

232
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: watched that Giants game and I didn't walk away from

233
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: the game saying, okays Heneke's fault again. I put the

234
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: onus on the officiating. It was horrible. But with that

235
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: meaning said, Carson wins with twelve and sixteen yards one touchdown,

236
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: And so what they're saying he's back, all right because

237
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: I watched I watched some of that game with the

238
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: Commanders versus forty Niners, and he almost threw another interception.

239
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: But I guess they're gonna ignore that I'm talking about

240
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. Yeah, yeah, I did. I did. I think

241
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do. I think they're gonna try to

242
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: line up and run. I mean I would. I know

243
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: that they are. What Brian Robinson has banged up. Antonio

244
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: Gibson's also, I think if I look at their participation, well,

245
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I think that they're they're gonna try

246
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: to get if they can. If this is a team,

247
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 1: think about the way this team started this season. I

248
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: thought that Ron rivera Zi was just gonna get fired

249
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: and that was gonna be the end of it. Right Well,

250
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: and they're in. They're in the playoff hunt right now.

251
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. In situations like this, the best thing

252
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: that you could possibly do is run the football. He's

253
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: probably saying, why running football? Well, when you run the football,

254
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: it makes the game a hundred times much more physical

255
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: than passing the football. And when you have a team

256
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: that's in a situation, and that being us, the Browns,

257
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: and which you have nothing to play for. But what

258
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: we talked about our pride, guess what getting beat up

259
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: runs doesn't your pride at some point? And if you're

260
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: showing signs and tendencies of this already to say you

261
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 1: know what, I don't want that spot, no mus, no muss,

262
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: it will wear you down and eventually what you've been

263
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: put on the football field of all season long reveale itself.

264
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: So for the Red excuse me. The commanders to not

265
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: understand that and not run the football would be foolish

266
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: on their part. Washington's has too many names over the

267
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 1: last five years. They gotta figure one out and just

268
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: go with it. My goodness, gracious, I was almost calling

269
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: him the football team. You almost called him by the

270
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: old old name. My goodness, gracious. I mean, when as

271
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: one of us is gonna call him the Nationals by

272
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 1: the time the show's done. I mean, my good innstrations

273
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: Wizards Antonio Gibson. Antonio Gibson right now did not practice

274
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: today with a foot and a knee injury. Brian Robinson Jr.

275
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: And I know he's been banged up a little bit.

276
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: He is. He was a full participant today. He is

277
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: still nursing a quad injury there, Brian Robinson is. So

278
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: we'll see what they would do. But yeah, I gotta

279
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:58,719
Speaker 1: agree with you. I would try to do the path,

280
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: the rush attack, and they got some very good wide

281
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: receivers there. Terry mclaurin's a pro bowler. You have Curtis

282
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: Samuel who's a pro bowler. Both a couple of former

283
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: buck Eyes there. And I know it might be tempting,

284
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: but I agree with you. I try to line up

285
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: and try to run, and I mean in the fourth,

286
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: the third quarter. If if you're running at a team,

287
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,719
Speaker 1: you can steal their soul, especially at home trying to

288
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,719
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. They don't have any they don't have

289
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: any of the tiebreakers against the Giants. Now, I mean

290
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: they need a miracle. They're gonna try to pull one

291
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 1: out over at FedEx Field, and Browns are gonna try

292
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: to play the spoilers coming up on Sunday afternoon. So

293
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: much more to come up on this show. Of course,

294
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,640

334
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: bid in the comarade of it with the team and

335

Speaker 1: So I'm excited to be here, to be with this

338
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: fan base because you don't get too many fan bases

339
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: like this in the NFL. And uh, man, I'm I'm excited, man,

341
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: around some really good fan bases and played in front

342
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: of him with Buffalo, who you were drafted by with

343
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: Kansas City. You want a Super Bowl beating the San

344
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: Francisco forty Niners. You played in front of some of

345
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: the iconic fan bases. What makes this one so special? Man,

346
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: it's a it's a fan base. It's hungry for a

347
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: winning team and just getting back to the promising land

348
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: like in the early forties and fifties. Seeing all the

349
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: banners are there from the early years. Or it's time

350
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: to get back on our track, man, and the pieces

351
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: are here. Uh, just gotta be dialed in a little

352
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: bit more and focus a little bit more. But for

353
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: the most part now, Uh, this fan base is hungry

354
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: and you can just see they want to win. They

355
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: want to cheer on the team and just be all

356
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: in every year in which they are so um from

357
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: over the years, be watching as a kid and then

358
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: getting to play in the league and then playing here

359
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: once before with with the Chief. So man, um like,

360
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: this is a wonderful fan base that it's hungry and

361
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: and and they're loyal no matter what goes on, they're loyal.

362
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: So that gives them the right to say some things

363
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: about the team because they used to win. And this

364
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: is a in the city, so and it's a hard

365
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: working city too, So man, I just want to keep

366
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: doing my part and hopefully being here next year, hopefully

367
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: get the opportunity be here next year and man and

368
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 1: hopefully bring some wins here and getting the postseason and

369
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: go withy to the Super Bowl. You definitely made an

370
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 1: impact here in the early going, at least from the

371
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: fan base side of things, and hopefully upstairs and with

372
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: the coaching staff as well. Talk about the day you

373
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: got that phone call that said, hey, the Browns are

374
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: picking you up, And what was that whirlwind process like

375
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: and how what were the challenges to get up to

376
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: speed to get ready for this. Um, I don't like

377
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: it was. It was different because you know, anybody love

378
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: to be in the city of Las Vegas and just

379
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: being there and playing there. But man, when you get

380
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: the opportunity to get elevated and play in this league,

381
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: you gotta take the chance. You gotta take the leap

382
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: of faith and just go. So somebody agent, Okay, let's

383
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: do it. So it gets me the opportunity to play

384
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: in and be seen and get some tape out there

385
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: they let teams know I'm I still can play this

386
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: game at a high level and Uh, and that's why

387
00:17:58,600 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: that's I wanted to show. I want to keep you

388
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: on as it going on. But for the most part,

389
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: it'er tained me long. It's just for me. It's just

390
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: really just learning how to line up in the terminology.

391
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,479
Speaker 1: Because when she learned the terminology, you can figure out

392
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: what piece you're in in the puzzle in the defense.

393
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: So once you figure that out, is it's become easier.

394
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: So and when she learned the terms and hear certain

395
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: words from the back end how they're coming down and

396
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: how to safe the rotation, everything is, everything becomes easy

397
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 1: after that point. But I'm just I just gotta keep

398
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: working hard and keep understanding what's going on. But for

399
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: the most part me, I'm just happy just to be

400
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: here and be playing the game that I love. Jason

401
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: Tarver is your position coach? What's he meant to you

402
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: here in the last few weeks since you arrived. Man,

403
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: from the the day I got here at eight o'clock

404
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: in the night, have to take in uh, numerous tests

405
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: and everything getting physical done. And man, he stayed with

406
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: me too. I got here probably like at six thirty

407
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 1: and I probably leave it to like eight. And he's

408
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: been very helpful from the jump man. Smart guy, very

409
00:18:55,480 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: enthusias how I'm very energetic. So, um, he's a great guy.

410
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: He knows he knows this stuff. And you can tell

411
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 1: because some guys in this league, you could tell if

412
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: they know what they don't know, and you can tell

413
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: JT knows it. And man, he's giving me the opportunity

414
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: to play fast and give me little tools and everything

415
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: just to be liked. And he's always on me about

416
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: the little things and my feet work. Even in this

417
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: past walk through he was on me about just staying

418
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: low and sliding my feet. So I got appreciate the

419
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: guy who's consistent as my coach, and I appreciate a

420
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: lot of specially when you know what you're talking about.

421
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: All right, So you make your debut against the Ravens,

422
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 1: get in for a couple of players. Then you're basically

423
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: going to play just about every down on Christmas Eve

424
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: and arguably what might be one of the coldest games

425
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: in Cleveland around history. How did how did you? How

426
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 1: did you prepared to go up and into that cold weather?

427
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 1: So I just told myself to go do what I

428
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 1: do regardless of how cold it is. Um, just gonna

429
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: do what got you here from leaving Alabama to coming

430
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 1: into the league and just having fun playing the game.

431
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: Yes it's cold, but man, the other team, the Saints,

432
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: didn't care about that. So I just wanted to go

433
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: out and just play the game and just have fun,

434
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: you know, and not try to overdo it a thing

435
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: too much, mum, because I haven't played in a year really,

436
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: so um, I just wanted to go out there have fun.

437
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: They just played the game, and I wanted to do

438
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 1: my job for these guys out there on the field

439
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: that's been here, and I wanted to show the guys

440
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: on the team that I can play ball. And I

441
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 1: know some guys have heard of me, but that don't

442
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: mean nothing, Like, it doesn't matter what you've done in

443
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: your past, how about what you're gonna do going forward.

444
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 1: And I just want to show them guys that can play.

445
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: You've overcome a lot of challenges, the enlarge day order

446
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 1: that they found right before the right before your draft,

447
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: torn a c L your rookie year, and then you know,

448
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: like you mentioned, not playing here for the last almost year. Um,

449
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 1: what's been the biggest challenge that you've had to overcome? Uh,

450
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even say it's the injuries of the A order,

451
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: or even it's just the mental battle of not playing

452
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: and knowing you can play in this league with guys

453
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: in this league, and and he's been shown at time

454
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: at the time, and and just because I'm not the

455
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 1: smallest linebacker. So but uh, I know I could play

456
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: this game. And I know what got me here is

457
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: making tackles, running sideline the sideline, understanding defenses and seeing

458
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: things and reacting fast. So I know I could play

459
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: this game. And I just gotta keep doing it and

460
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 1: keep showing it, and I gotta keep it. I gotta

461
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: keep giving my set the best opportunity, no matter, just

462
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 1: always doing cardio every day, or studying a little bit more,

463
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: or just talking to the guys in the facility and

464
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: just understanding what they want me to do in my role.

465
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: So man, I just always want to come in and

466
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: to do my job and don't cause no problems, and

467
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 1: I just want to play ball and have fun. Best

468
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: piece of advice you've ever gotten you played for some

469
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: really good coaches over the over your span of your career,

470
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: college and pro best piece of advice you've ever gotten, man,

471
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: I probably say it's Tuck. I didn't play for Andy Reid,

472
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 1: and he's always tell you just let loose and just

473
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 1: be yourself and have fun, and did even with coach

474
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: Saban in college, Like he always told us to see

475
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: a little, a lot, You see a lot, you see nothing.

476
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: So I probably say that just see a little, see

477
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: a lot, you know, make sure you see the little

478
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: things and then the big things that come, like don't

479
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: try to jump at the big things, and then you

480
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: missed a little thing of helping you get to where

481
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: you're supposed to go. So I've already just told myself

482
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 1: to make sure I see the little the little stuff

483
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: first and then it take me to the big picture

484
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: goals here for the last two games of the season,

485
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: obviously the playoffs are out of reach, but still a

486
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: lot to play for. Oh yeah, man, you're playing for

487
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: your pride and just putting good tape out there because

488
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: I know, like myself, I'm in a position where I

489
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm be here not next year or

490
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: but I'll at least be able to have some tape

491
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 1: out there and that teams know I still can play

492
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: and just show him I can play him, and then

493
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 1: you know I can line up and play at a

494
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: high speed and a high level. So but man, they's

495
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: just have fun the next couple weeks because his team

Speaker 1: else next year. So man, just give us at the

501
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: US opportunity and just go play. I know we are

502
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: in the heart of Big ten country, but did Alabama

503
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: get screwed over by not getting into the Fighter four?

504
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: We're being honest. Man, when you're not doing when you're

505
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: not doing your job, I'm not don't you're supposed to do.

506
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: You don't er to get in. But I love Alabama

507
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: to death, but a lot of the times we shot

508
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: ourselves in the foot, and even though we are lost

509
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: by a combine or four points to two teams. But man,

510
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: when at the end of the game, you know not

511
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: to give up this Tennessee in the middle of the field,

512
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: and you know to keep your hands up and just

513
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: playing the game and just understand a certain situations. You

514
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 1: know they're going to certain people. So but that's on us.

515
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: So we we didn't deserve to get in. So we're

521
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 1: years and I miss a lot of them, guys. I

522

Speaker 1: in about ten minutes or so, let's go around the league,

549
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: gerardin First things First, the Raiders they bench quarterback Derek

550
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: Carr for the final two games of the season. Where

551
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: is he gonna end up? Man? Oh, I don't like that.

552
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: Look you gave. What's the matter? This doesn't surprise me?

553
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 1: You know what they're doing? What's that? This is a

554
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: preemptive strike. I mean, ultimately, I've been telling you all

555
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: season at some point, not all season because I think

556
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: the Bucks are gonna be this way, but at some

557
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: point I saw a possibility of Tom Brady find himself

558
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. Why would two games left? Do you

559
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: really need to see what you have with your backup?

560
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: Do you really need to see that? No? No, So

561
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do is who are they gonna Now?

562
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: Who are they playing? Who are the Raiders playing here

563
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: over the final two games? Boy, I gotta look that

564
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: up before I go ahead and ask that question. Now,

565
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring up ESPN, and they're gonna and at

566
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: the courset website's gonna go hey wire. So now I

567
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 1: have to do that. I need to know who they're

568
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: playing for their final two games, because I don't think

569
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: it's about there. Obviously, there's nothing about seeing anything, because

570
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen here is this is I don't think.

571
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 1: First off, well, I don't even know if I'm I

572
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 1: don't even know if there's a point of bringing up

573
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: like Josh McDaniels, Josh mcdanions isn't gonna go anywhere. They're

574
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: not gonna get rid of him. I know that there

575
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: were some people who wanted him to go and go somewhere.

576
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,479
Speaker 1: Halfway through the year. He can't go anywhere. Okay, they

577
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: go to San Francisco and they go to Kansas City. Okay,

578
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: well that's that's so they're gonna finish the season six

579
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: and eleven. So they go to Kansas City, and they

580
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: go to or San Francisco and they go to Kansas City.

581
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: For a second, I was thinking, do they hope that

582
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 1: they win one of those games with Jared Stidham and

583
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: then they could justify well, you know, Derek car oldness

584
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: back this and the other ida. I have no idea

585
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: they're getting ready to they're getting rid of Derek Carr.

586
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: Long story short. I just agree with you. I think

587
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: this is the bring in Tom. This is all to

588
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: bring in Tom. Go ahead, miserable speed right now to

589
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: be in Las Vegas. This is not I thought they

590
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: were playing for him, Gerard, I really did. I thought

591
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: they were playing for for Josh McDaniels. We'll think about

592
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: what's going on right now, a guy who and it's

593
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 1: hard to say this because he made some statements and

594
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: I'm a I support Derek Carr. I like him. I

595
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: think he's a likable guy and all that. So I'm

596
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: not trying to take a shot out of any stretch

597
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: of imagination. But when he had that moment where he

598
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: cried in the locker room, and there's nothing wrong with

599
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: crying in the locker room, but when he had made

600
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 1: that statement, but certain guys aren't getting on board and

601
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: we shouldn't be, we ad he was right about that.

602
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: But the part where I was saying to myself is like, Derek,

603
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: you've been there for a long time. Now, you're face

604
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: of the organization. You should have control of that locker room.

605
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: You should be have an impact on the culture and

606
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 1: for this to happen and what it represents. When I'm

607
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: not saying Josh is right by doing it, I'm not

608
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: saying that at all. I'm just saying, with two games left,

609
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: why create more turmoil and dismay in your locker room

610
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: and divide a team. That's what I'm saying. So I

611
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: don't how you win in a situation unless he's just

612
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: been that abysmal than everybody's like calling for it. Well,

613
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: you heard Josh Jacobs after the game. I mean, my goodness,

614
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 1: gracious like that's a that's a guy who's not gonna

615
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: be there next year. That I mean, that's what that was. So, um,

616
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 1: it's hard to understand. It's hard to understand. I'm trying

617
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: to figure out where Derek Carr ends up. Like he's

618
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:27,360
Speaker 1: got Derek Carr is. I think Derek Carr's high level replacement, meaning, yes,

619
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: you can try to find a better quarterback, but there's

620
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 1: also plenty of quarterbacks out there that Derek Carr is

621
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: way better, that way better. So it's like it's in

622
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: this weird category of you're not elite, you're not. Nope,

623
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: we're not discussing getting rid of you. Not he's not

624
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: in that category. But he's not in that we gotta

625
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: get rid of this guy. This guy is not good.

626
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: I don't think he's in that category. He's in that

627
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: high level replacement where if something down the line comes

628
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: down the line, that's better. Yeah, but I don't know.

629
00:28:58,440 --> 00:28:59,719
Speaker 1: And and that means you have to pay that guy

630
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: a lot money, and they did. They paid him a

631
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: lot of money. So McDaniel is gonna either bring in

632
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: a rookie or a veteran, right, yeah. So so with

633
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: that in mind, he's either trying to He's trying to

634
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: save his job ultimately. But I still don't think you

635
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: Railroad Derek Carton and safely do that. I well, I

636
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: don't know if he I don't know if he needs

637
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: to save his job just yet. Frankly, I agree with

638
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: you for the most part. I just did that. That

639
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: contract is so large, and everything I hear is well,

640
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: they're cash poor. Their cash poor, their cash poor. Now

641
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: I'm not counting the money of the Raiders. I don't

642
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: want to get I don't want to get into Mark

643
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: Davis's wallet here because it's it's different. It's not like

644
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: a player where there's a salary cap and things like that.

645
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: It's just I don't I don't really know what to

646
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: do with the guy. And and for a second you're like,

647
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: I'm I'm looking at teams right now, Gerardium like, okay,

648
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: you can end up there, you can end of there,

649
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: Giants Jets, I don't know what do you do? What

650
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: do you do with Daniel Jones? Like he had three

651
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: four yards last week? Everybody thought Danie Jones is good.

652
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: They lost that game in Minnesota. But before that, I'm like, man,

653
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones is He's pedestrian. And I think that I

654
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: really think that Brian Dable is getting the best out

655
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: of Daniel Jones. And I think Derek Carr is better

656
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: than Daniel Jones. What does does Mike Vrabel come to

657
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: call for a guy like Tanny all of a sudden

658
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: it's beat up and roasted. So I think that you're

659
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: right about I mean, we've spent this whole time talking

660
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: about Derek cart because the quarterback situation. I don't want

661
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: to be in the position, well, we gotta call out,

662
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: we got we gotta call games and figure out you

663
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: know who covers and things like that. I just think

664
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: it's been so difficult this year because a quarterback play

665
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: that it's been scatter shot. Teams that we thought we're

666
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: gonna have good quarterbacks, they haven't played very well. There's

667
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: been teams that have played very well with quarterbacks, and

668
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: other's teams that have started out like the usual suspects.

669
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and the Bills are there, Kansas City with

670
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is there. There's been a couple of teams

671
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: that it's just like, you know what, I don't know

672
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: to a tongue of my law, Oh he's the m

673
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: v PS, m v PS, the m v P. I

674
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: don't know. Did you see the game against the Packers.

675
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: That's MVP first half but they but they played four quarters, yeah, live,

676
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: and it's just the final the final pick that he threw,

677
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: the third pick that he threw, I think it was

678
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: Russell Douglas who got that one and go. There was

679
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: one read and one read only, and he was going

680
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: to that spot that you could have Vince Lombardi could

681
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: have came back and been standing there. He was still

682
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: gonna throw to where that spot was. It didn't matter.

683
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 1: That was one read and one read only. Yeah, that's

684
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:42,719
Speaker 1: amazing too. Man. When I think about the Dolphins, go ahead, well,

685
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: well watch them how they played against us and how

686
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: they've just pretty much have not played well. But it's

687
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: a perfect example again of yes, you can have big

688
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: score capability, you won't explode the plays, but ultimately you

689
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,479
Speaker 1: have to be physical and if you're not physical, you're

690
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: gonna lose football games. They've lost to three teams now,

691
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: Ultimately who at the end out physical? Dum And I

692
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: thought the dolphinser might be for real, but nah, they're

693
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: for fake. I agree with you. Coming up next, the

694

703
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: gotta the first. This is gonna be the weirdest first question.

704
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: I I don't know. I've asked Jim some very weird

705
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: first questions. Jim Donovan joins us on the show. Jim,

706
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: do you know whether or not RFK Stadium has been

707
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 1: torn down yet? I don't think it has. I don't

708
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: think it has. I think I think it is still there.

709
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: Um and I have to tell you I can remember

710
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: the last time being in there when the Browns played

711
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: the Washington Redskins at the time and Ernest Finer before

712
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: he became a red Skin. We're still with the Browns

713
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: and ripped off a huge touchdown run in the last

714
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: three minutes of the game of the Browns won the

715
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: game at RFK. So this is this is how my

716
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: week's gone. I'm on on vacation this week and we

717
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: are potty training our youngest We're we're coming down the

718
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: home stretch and uh so I have a lot of downtime, Jim.

719
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: And I was on YouTube and I was watching this

720
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: tour of RFK Stadium as it is now, and I'm going, boy,

721
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: this stadium is looking like it's in half bad shape

722
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: considering you know, it's it's it hasn't been used ago.

723
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: I've got a lot of people would say this stadium

724
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: is just as good and the and usable as as

725
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: what they have at FedEx Field right now, with all

726
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: the complaints I hear about Athedics Field right now, Jim,

727
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: I I don't know what you're stepping into over there

728
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: right now. Um, you know what, the FedEx Field is,

729
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: by far, from a broadcaster standpoint, the worst place to

730
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: do a game. The vatage point is incredibly bad and

731
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: the stadiums really runs down and I you know, I

732
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: commend them if they're going to get a new stadium.

733
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 1: I think that they definitely deserve one, along with a

734
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: lot of other things. Probably new ownership would be at

735
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 1: the top of that, Liz. But the RFK Stadium ten um. Also,

736
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 1: I can remember broadcasting an Indians game in there because

737
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 1: that's where the Washington Nationals played before they got their

738
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: brand new ballpark built. Yeah. Well, and the things because

739
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: they were going around some of the old old offices

740
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: and they had the two thousand seven. They had a

741
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: bunch of media guides from like the Padres and all

742
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: the veteran visiting teams and things like that. So there's

743
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: a lot of history there. And I'm going, man, RFK

744
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: Stadium still standing still and still I mean holding up

745
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: well for us, even though it's I think I thought

746
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: it might be. I was like, is it already getting

747
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 1: torn down? But it seems like it's gonna get torn

748
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: down here pretty soon. All right. Season's ending pretty soon here.

749
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: Jim Brown's coming into this one six and nine, Washington seven,

750
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: seven and one. But with the way the NFC is

751
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,439
Speaker 1: shaking out there, they're still holding onto some playoff hopes

752
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 1: over there in Washington. They make a big move today.

753
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: They're gonna put Carson Wentz in at quarterback. Gerage shook

754
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: his head. He feels it's desperate. He doesn't understand it.

755
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: I'm in no position to question Ron Rivera. You guys

756
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 1: have been in this for a long time. Jim your thoughts, well,

757
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 1: I think it's um, you know, it's it's right down

758
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: to it for them. I mean, if they if they

759
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 1: can win these last couple of games, then they're in

760
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,720
Speaker 1: the playoffs. If they can beat the Browns beat Dallas,

761
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: they're both at home, they're in the playoffs. So it's

762
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: a pretty drastic move at that to do it at

763
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: this point in time. I think they saw a little

764
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: bit of spark and what Carson Wentz did last week

765
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: in the late stages of the game at San Francisco.

766
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: The only thing was that game was pretty much how

767
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: to reach at that point in time. Know, it's an

768
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: interesting move. You could definitely see them do it again

769
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 1: mid game. I think they're in that kind of a

770
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: desperate situation to find some kind of a way to

771
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: get out of there with a win. So if it

772
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 1: means starting Limpson coming in with Heineke after that, then

773
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 1: they would possibly do that. So, um, nothing is fixed

774
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 1: on this thing. It's probably a very fluid situation. And

775
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 1: to answer the question, Kim, the plans, according to the

776
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: Internet is for to have a complete demolition of RFK Stadium.

777
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: With that being said, Kim, the Browns are in a

778
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: situation where they can create demolition for the Commander's season

779
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: by whin this football game. How do you foresee us

780
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: attacking this football team? Because in my opinion, Jim, I

781
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: think the Commanders are a pretty solid football team. Boy,

782
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what you're Rode. You take a look

783
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 1: at that front four on their defense. Uh, it is tremendous.

784
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 1: I thought it was good a couple of years ago

785
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: when they come in and played the Browns. I thought

786
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: it was pretty frightening. When they come in and played

787
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 1: them at that point in time, the Browns did very well.

788
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: They ran at it that day rather than throw a

789
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,439
Speaker 1: great deal to kind of stay away from Chase Young

790
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: and Payne and Allen and all those talented guys that

791
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 1: they have up front with their pass rush, So the

792
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 1: Browns ran the ball at them very effectively. With the

793
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: combination of Chubb and Hood, they both had big days

794
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: on that Sunday afternoon when the Bronze beat them at home,

795
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: so that might be the way to go. And I

796
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,280
Speaker 1: know we've said that an awful lot throughout this season,

797
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: and it seems as though the Browns you know, at

798
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: times do it, but there's other times, of course, you know,

799
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: they get back into that passing way that they want

800
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: to throw the football. But I would go back and

801
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: take a look, and I'm sure that the Browns coaching

802
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: staff will. I would go back and take a look

803
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: at that film from when the Browns beat them in

804
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:52,439
Speaker 1: Cleveland and they beat them with the running game. Jim

805
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 1: Donovan joining us here on the show. Jim for for

806
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. You know, coming into this football game, so

807
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 1: much was made of the game against against New Orleans,

808
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: and again I felt like I'm out of the internet

809
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: loop over the last couple of games. But I've heard

810
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: some of the podcast and I've heard some of the

811
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: national shows. There's been a big difference in the coverage

812
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: of Deshaun Watson locally and nationally, where hey, I look

813
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: at that last drive. The balls were there, they could

814
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 1: have been caught, they weren't caught. And I think if

815
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: that game goes over time and the Browns win that game,

816
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: we're having a different conversation both nationally and locally about

817
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson going into this game against Washington. Yeah, no doubt,

818
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: you know, can I wondered if he got the minute

819
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,439
Speaker 1: and scored. I was kind of wondering if they would

820
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: have gone for two and and win the game out right,

821
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: all right? Those are those are some of the things

822
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 1: that were left wondering. But you're exactly right. I mean,

823
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: I think Donovan Peoples Jones had a great opportunity to

824
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 1: make the catch in the left quarter of the end song.

825
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: I think David and Joe who should have made the

826
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: catch down by the goal line. I think the sack

827
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: right at the end of the game, bah, I mean

828
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 1: that was a really bad play. A Uh. You want

829
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 1: to go down at least throwing the football, but to

830
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: take a sack at that point in time is It's

831
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 1: a bad, bad look. Um. I thought the fact that

832
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: he got the team down there and engineered that drive

833
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 1: that was a long drive, seventeen eighteen plays. I thought

834
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,879
Speaker 1: some clutch plays, um, But you know what, I think

835
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 1: that it was a very disappointing ending. There's no doubt

836
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: about it. He's got two more games to kind of

837
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: work with here. He is the main thing that I

838
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: think we focus on right now, progress being made, hopefully

839
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: this Sunday, and then get a good taste of the

840
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: a f C North once again over in Pittsburgh to

841
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: end the year and see how he reacts over there

842
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: and how he plays over there. Um, and we'll see

843
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 1: what the weather is over there too. I think the

844
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 1: weather this week is gonna be okay, so he should

845
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,879
Speaker 1: be fine in that game. So Jimmy, you could see

846
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: a scenario like Kenan I discussed earlier where it might

847
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 1: be more passing than running the football. And granted the

848
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 1: weather will be can conducive to that idea because this

849
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: is going to be since it will probably be in

850
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: the fifties. So you're okay with the idea of the Hey,

851
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: why not let de Shaun's get more make this more

852
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 1: about his progress and he's getting adapted right back to

853
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 1: the NFL. Yeah, I think you know. I have to

854
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 1: tell you, I I really think you have to go

855
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: You probably go into it with a couple of different intentions.

856
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 1: If you're gonna go into it, I think and say,

857
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,760
Speaker 1: all right, what's the best way to win the football

858
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 1: game against this team? I think the best way to

859
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: try and attack them defensively is to run the ball

860
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: at them and run it hard. Now, you can throw

861
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson into that. Now, I'm not saying that he's

862
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 1: only gonna throw the ball eight times in the game,

863
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,839
Speaker 1: but I really believe that that would be the way.

864
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: If you're gonna go in and give them your best shot,

865
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: that would be the way I think that it would

866
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 1: be done. And they've got a film on that from

867
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. But if your intention is

868
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna go in and continue the plan of Deshaun

869
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 1: Watson and making him, you know, expand the offense and

870
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 1: get moren't comfortable with this wide receivers, well, then you're

871
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: gonna test that that front four that the Commanders have.

872
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 1: You're gonna throw the football and you're gonna take your

873
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: shot that way. If it was me and you're all

874
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 1: in on winning the game, and I think this team really,

875
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 1: you know, should be going in that way. I go

876
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: in and I go in with a heavy run game plan.

877
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: Jim can't take enough for the time. Of course, we'll

878
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: talk to you on Sunday morning. All right, guys, take care,

886
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: you don't play the standard, there's corrections to be made,

887
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 1: and there's things to be done that are gonna benefit

888
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: the team, and we're all trying to work to those goals.

889

895
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: Not a lot of time here. What are we looking

896
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 1: forward to in Sunday's matchup in Washington. It's really simple.

897
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 1: How are you going to approach this game? Technically speaking,

898
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,240
Speaker 1: you have nothing to play for other than your pride

899
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:27,839
Speaker 1: and the idea that you want to put something good

900
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: on tape, and that should be your mentality to go

901
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 1: out there and show this organization, to show your teammates

902
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 1: that you respect the game, that you love playing a game,

903
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 1: and you're not just in the game for the simple

904
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: point of collecting money, but you want to be a

905
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: part of change in the culture of this football team.

906
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm looking for, and it's gonna be

907
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 1: pretty evident kid, who's going with that approach once the

908
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,360
Speaker 1: game starts and finishes. Well, you're right about that, Gerard.

909
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so much to look into, so much

910
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 1: to dell from from all these these two games left round,

911
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 1: just against Washington, but also against Pittsburgh, and who wants it?

912
00:42:57,800 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 1: Who wants to put some on tape and wants to

913
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: go out there in a way in and finished the

914
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: season on a high note. Could look good by the

915
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 1: end of this season. I know that you're gonna be
