You asked for it. Here it is in 6 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:25,919 Speaker 1: its makeshift glory. Hi. I'm Andrew Siciliano. This is not 7 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: the typical home office. This is the Olympic office. I'm 8 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: happy to be here. I'm happy to take my Olympic brain, 9 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: take it out, put back in, give a my football 10 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,599 Speaker 1: brain and talk about the Browns.

I think the highlight for the 14 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 2: week in our office in the radio studio has been 15 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 2: watching the mixed curling. Yes, team USA one, that woman, 16 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 2: that one, that one in four Sweden. 17 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: I believe they did lose to Sweden in the final. 18 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, she was like an assassin. Absolutely. Oh, it 19 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 2: was a fantastic week with the mixed curling. 20 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 1: Yeah, Cory Zimber's the girl who's a hater. 21 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 2: I don't know why, what. 22 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: Is it like, was he anti curling? 23 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 2: Yes, believe yes, he's like, that's one sport that shouldn't 24 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 2: be here. 25 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: Okay, so let's let's sum up. Somebody on Twitter had 26 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: a great summary, and this thing's kind of gone around, 27 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 1: so it's maybe not a unique thoughts great summary of 28 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: the Winter Olympics. There are sixteen sports, all right, Just 29 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 1: to wrap your head around this. For when we did 30 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: gold Zone for the Summer Games for Paris, or when 31 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: we did it for Rio in twenty sixteen, realize that 32 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: during the Summer Games you might have twenty different things 33 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: going on at once, like two in the afternoon, twenty 34 00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: different things in different venues. There are only sixteen sports 35 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: within the Winter Olympics. Now, a lot of them have 36 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: obviously different events under those umbrellas. By they're only sixteen sports, 37 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: so it's a much different pace. Most of the Olympic 38 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: sports are I'm going to do something that might kill me. 39 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to go down a mountain at eighty miles 40 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: an hour. I'm going to get in a sled and 41 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 1: go down at seventy miles an hour. Right, I'm going 42 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: to jump off a hill on skis. And then there's curling. 43 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: And that's the beauty of curling. For my fellow Italians, 44 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: imagine this. And I explained this to my father because 45 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: my father kind of had the same zigur reacting like 46 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: med like, stop being a grumpy old man. That's right, Okay, 47 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: it's botchy with brooms. I'm a botchy except it's on ice. 48 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: It's not lawn bowling. It's ice bowling. And there is 49 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 1: a billiard's a pool aspect to it where you got 50 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 1: to get around a stone, all from the same island, Scotland. 51 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: By the way, you got to get a round a stone, 52 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: you got to hit another stone and have that stone 53 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: like billiards, go corner pocket and knock out another stone. 54 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: It's fun. I mean the fact that the team US 55 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: captain for the last two decades, the last five games 56 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: before these games, John Schuster is fifty four years old 57 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: and he barely like. It was a stunning upset that 58 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: Danny Casper. As the Americans now go to the men's competition, 59 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: Danny Casper upset him to take a different squad over 60 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: there to represent the USA. That is a big deal. 61 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 1: So any sport in which you could win a medal 62 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: and still be in your mid fifties. 63 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 2: I'll drink to that absolutely. And by the way, it's 64 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 2: a great sport to play. BG had. My father was 65 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 2: on the club curling team at z and then I 66 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 2: played a little bar league action on the east side. 67 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 2: A couple of the ice rinks have curling leagues. Okay, 68 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 2: this is a field trip. I did not know this. Yes, 69 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 2: we see. 70 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: Have you explained this to Zagura? Yeah, okay, we need 71 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: to see. Are there give a curling photos or videos 72 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: from back? 73 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 2: No? No, no, because me on ice to begin with, like, 74 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 2: you got to put on the little I think they're 75 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 2: a little spikes, right that you put on the bottom 76 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:20,679 Speaker 2: of your shoes, and one shoe doesn't Yeah, which takes 77 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 2: a little bit getting used to, especially since me on 78 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 2: two feet without skis or a snowboard or anything is 79 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 2: a challenge to begin. 80 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: Matt, Well, I appreciate your watching, and we're having a 81 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 1: fun time. 82 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 2: On Peacock, Like we got a lot going on, but 83 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 2: we don't have a lot going on here, so like 84 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,359 Speaker 2: right now it's the calm before the storm. So the 85 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 2: Olympics are at a perfect time for you. 86 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, it's good and we're all going to get 87 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: the band back together in the combine coming up in 88 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, will be in Indianapolis the entire week. 89 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: Look I did bring. It's hard to see here because 90 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: it's one of those dark on dark ones. I am 91 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: wearing a brown shirt here that I did bring to 92 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: the Olympics. So there, we're appropriately dressed. Let's talk about 93 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 1: what's going on right now. Obviously as we record this, 94 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: and we're recording this episode on Thursday morning. What is 95 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,119 Speaker 1: today's date of Bad Eyes. It's the twelfth. Okay, well 96 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: so two days before Valentine's Day. By the way, Happy birthday, Dad, 97 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: on Valentine's Day, and happy Valentine's Day to everyone in 98 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 1: our BPA audience. As we record this, the Browns do 99 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: not have a new defensive coordinator. And I'm sure you're asking, 100 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: why can't you just promote somebody. You can't because the 101 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: Rooney Rule applies to coordinate or hires as well. So 102 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: just like you did for the head coach, you have 103 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: to do for the coordinators. Clint Kubiak has left the 104 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: Seahawks after they won the Super Bowl. He revealed it 105 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: to Stacy Tails on the field after the game. Well done, 106 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: Dale's yet again. But the Seahawks can't just say, hey, 107 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: Jake Pete's you're the next man up, promote anybody on 108 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: that staff. They can't do that. They too have to 109 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 1: go through and check every Rooney rule box. By the way, 110 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: it's not just checking boxes. It is a legitimate process 111 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 1: with a purpose. So by the time we'll get to Indianapolis, 112 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: I'm fairly certain, give a we will have a DC. 113 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 1: But as we say it here right now, we do not. 114 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 2: Well. Todd Monkin had told Nathan Zegirl on a on 115 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 2: a call with season ticket holders, hoping to have everything 116 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 2: put to bed by the end of the weekend. So 117 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 2: maybe that's a glimpses to what might be coming. But 118 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 2: I clearly think that they want to have this staff 119 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 2: in place before we get to Indy, and they'd like 120 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 2: to have maybe the whole staff together for a few 121 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 2: meetings before they leave for Indy. So I think there 122 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 2: is a sense of urgency to get this done and 123 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 2: to knock this out. But coach seemed very confident we 124 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 2: were going to have some answers here sooner rather than 125 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,239 Speaker 2: later with the rest of the coaching staff. 126 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I highly recommend what you're referring to is 127 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: for season ticket holders is Zoom a couple of days ago, 128 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: but I do highly recommend going back and watching Nathan 129 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: sit down. It's on Cleveland Browns dot com on the 130 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: Rounds YouTube page with coach Monkin. It's about a thirty 131 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: minute sit down. They're multiple bleeps, beeB great job Gabe 132 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: or dom who or Jordan whoever's putting that together? Great 133 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: job or Fela whomever? Jeff who Am I missing a 134 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: lot of beeps? It might have taken all of them. 135 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: It might have taken a team. Yeah. I texted Date 136 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: that after watching it, I was legitimately cracking up some 137 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: of the stories about his wife and their arguments and 138 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: things to tell the kids and discipline, and stories about 139 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: Kirby Smart, and stories about how John Harball would approach 140 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: things like Kirby Smart would say like, you better get 141 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: your bleepity bleep butt out there, and this is what 142 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna do meeting, like to the assistant coaches, this 143 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: is what I want to run, and John Harball would 144 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: say something like, eh, you know, I really liked it 145 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: when we ran that last week, And that would be 146 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: his subtle way of saying, you know what, don't do 147 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: that other stupid idea you had, Why don't you do 148 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: the idea that worked the previous time? And I'm really excited. 149 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: I know people are going to say this is just 150 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: the company line. It isn't. I'm excited to see how 151 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: all those years of experience, learning from those guys and 152 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: all the great places that Todd Monkin has been, how 153 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: that translates when the Browns start the off season program 154 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: and they get themselves on the field with their new 155 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: coach in. 156 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 2: Borea, nothing to lose, Like this is the opportunity that 157 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 2: he has been waiting for for how many years? Many? 158 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 2: Thirty thirty five? Yes, you know, I mean he finally 159 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 2: gets a chance. He's seen what works at the NFL 160 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 2: level and at the college level, he's seen what hasn't worked. 161 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 2: Like he knew he had a plan when he walked 162 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,439 Speaker 2: in the door what he wanted to do. Plans come 163 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 2: into fruition here. I'm excited to that first week in April, 164 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 2: because remember, new coach, you can hit the field a 165 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 2: few weeks before the NFL Draft. 166 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: Off season the program starts a week early for every 167 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: team and there are ten of them this year, every 168 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: team with a brand new head coach and obviously will 169 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: be there to cover the best podcast available. Let's spin 170 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: around the AFC North here because focus on the Ravens here. 171 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: Jesse Miner has put together staff that includes Anthony Weaver, 172 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: who used to be in the building and then went 173 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: to Miami. He comes back now as defensive coordinator. Anthony 174 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: Levine is going to stay on as special teams coach 175 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: and just shows you how, you know, relationships are everything. 176 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: At one point mintor a few years ago, in his 177 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 1: first stop in Baltimore was the position coach. For now 178 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: the guy that is his special teams coach. A friendly 179 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: reminder always be nice to the people you work with. 180 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: Never burn a bridge because eventually it will come. 181 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 2: Full circle, especially in this industry, no question about it. 182 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 2: I like, I'm happy for Weaves, great guy when he 183 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:05,679 Speaker 2: was here a teacher, and unfortunately, you know he's with Baltimore. 184 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 2: I got to root against him. You know, they with 185 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 2: Miami it was a little bit easier. But I think Weaves, 186 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 2: I think Weaves will do just find their under mentor 187 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 2: in Baltimore. But it is weird, like Baltimore put that 188 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 2: the graphic out I think yesterday of their you know, 189 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 2: the coach and then the three coordinators and you're like wow, 190 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 2: like from a year ago to today a lot different, 191 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 2: a lot different. 192 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: And that takes a little getting used to. Yeah, it does. 193 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: And there is a natural reset every year in the 194 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: NFL in these two months before the draft or really 195 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: before free agency and then through that first week where 196 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: you know everybody in this league and it's like a 197 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,199 Speaker 1: musical chairs kind of thing. Like the Ravens new wide 198 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 1: receiver coach Carrie Colbert, who I know from his days 199 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 1: at USC and for the last time many every years 200 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: whenever we go to Denver, is the Broncos wide receiver coach. 201 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: He's one of the guys that Sean Payton said all right, 202 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,959 Speaker 1: we're gonna make a change. So now he lands in Baltimore. 203 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: And it's a constant even with the with our former 204 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: head coaches from Kevin's last couple of years, as they 205 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 1: go Elser Bill Musgrave is going to New York and 206 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 1: Bubba vent Tron is coming to my neck of the 207 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: woods backhand Los Angeles to be there with the Rams. 208 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: It is like you always keep in touch with people 209 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: and you got to like reset where everybody is actually going. 210 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: And then you start a new with a new season. 211 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 1: The draft is on the twenty third of April. I 212 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: mentioned really the date we need to focus here or 213 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: focus on here is the eleventh of March, which is 214 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 1: the beginning of the new league year, at the beginning 215 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: of free agency, and that's where everything truly resets. And 216 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: that's where let's start with the Ravens. There are there 217 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 1: are deadlines. Steve Ashaddy, the owner of the Ravens, said, 218 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 1: we need a new deal for Lamar Jackson before the 219 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,199 Speaker 1: start of free agency. This is not going to be 220 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 1: one of these things where this is dragging and dragging 221 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: and dragging and Lamar is sitting in Florida and being unresponsive. 222 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: They need a new deal done. His cap number is 223 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: going to be seventy three million. There is this sus 224 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: fought around the league that maybe the Ravens just trade him. 225 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: I don't think that is going to happen. But I'd 226 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: say this like, Lamar's got to play ball, and I'm 227 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: not saying he needs to take less than market value. 228 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,199 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that kind of play ball. It's got 229 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,079 Speaker 1: to be a willing business partner here, and I think 230 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: that is the big thing for the Ravens as they 231 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,719 Speaker 1: start this new course with Jesse Minter. They've got to 232 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: get that deal done. And to me, that is along 233 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers' decision and the Browns DC, those are 234 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 1: the three biggest headlines right now in the AFC North. 235 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, and unfortunately, every time that you've had a contract negotiation, 236 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 2: if you're Baltimore with Lamar Lamar is Lamar's agent, he 237 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 2: is and his mom that there's a lot that you 238 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 2: need to go through and there's some you know, duck 239 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 2: dive dodge to take a little dodgeball reference out. You know, 240 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 2: there's a lot that goes into that when you're negotiating 241 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 2: directly with the player. And we've seen a lot of 242 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 2: hiccups in Baltimore. Here's hoping for a few more. Yeah. 243 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: I mean, they'll figure it out eventually. You would have 244 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 1: to think meantime in Pittsburgh it goes Aaron Rodgers now 245 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: and once again the ball is kind of sort of 246 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: in your court. It's interesting because at the Super Bowl 247 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 1: and I was only there a couple of days, but 248 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: continuing to talk to other people for my Yahoo thing, 249 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: I believe, I believe it just makes all the sense 250 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: in the world. Rogers is going to come back and 251 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,839 Speaker 1: play for Mike McCarthy, and I think the Packers, or 252 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: rather the Steelers decided if it isn't Rogers will figure 253 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: it out one way or the other. But we have 254 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: a guy now that we think can develop a young quarterback, 255 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 1: a guy who is approven winner in Green Bay. In Dallas, 256 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: I know Cowboy fans, they didn't win anything. You actually 257 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: won twelve games in three straight years. Of memory serves 258 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 1: that they will work something out with whomever comes in. 259 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:07,199 Speaker 1: I personally think that Rogers is coming back. I've had 260 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,839 Speaker 1: other people go, we really don't know, but give me. 261 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: It is another off season in which we are kind 262 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 1: of waiting and waiting and waiting, and I think the 263 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 1: question is how long are the Steelers willing to wait? 264 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: They pick twenty one again, everybody wants to mock Tie 265 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: Simpson to them at twenty one. I'm sure that's a possibility. 266 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: He's got a rib injury, he's got an elbow injury. 267 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: There's also Will Howard. You would like to know that, 268 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: do we or don't we have Aaron Rodgers? If not, 269 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: let's see what we have maybe in the former Bluckeye. 270 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 2: I think Aaron Rodgers is going to take a lot 271 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 2: of time here. I don't think it's a guarantee that 272 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 2: he comes back. He may just hang it up. I 273 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 2: don't know if he goes somewhere else, but he might 274 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 2: just hang it up. 275 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: Well, the somewhere else would be Minnesota. Wrap your head 276 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: around that. Yeah, the Vikings that made it very clear 277 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: they want to bring in They want to have a 278 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: deeper quarterback room. That is what Keedit o'coonda and Quaycy 279 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: said before Quaycy was shown the door. They both said 280 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: that on the same podium during their exit interviews the 281 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: week after they were eliminated. Aaron Rodgers and the Vikings 282 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: went down that road last year. To me, it wouldn't 283 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: make any sense to change teams again. But if he 284 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: were to, I think it's Minnesota. 285 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 2: See and I go back. I take away from that 286 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 2: press conference Mike McCarthy actually impressed me. I didn't you know. 287 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 2: I'm like, what what's he going to bring? And then 288 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 2: you remember that he's from there. It's got a little passion. 289 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 2: Shout out to his new OC Brian Angelico, former tight 290 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 2: Ends coach here when Mike Petton was the head coach. 291 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 2: Good guy, But I take a look at that Steeler team, 292 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 2: and you know, mister Rooney kept saying, we're not rebuilding. 293 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 2: We're not rebuilding. I think maybe need to rebuild a 294 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 2: little bit. 295 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: They don't want to. 296 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 2: It's not a complete it. They don't want to. 297 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: I don't think Mike McCarthy takes that job if he 298 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: thinks they're rebuilding correct. 299 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 2: And I'm not saying a complete tear down and gut, 300 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 2: but there's a lot of things that need work in Pittsburgh, 301 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 2: maybe more than they allude to. That offense is not 302 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 2: great and the defense is aging by the day. I 303 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 2: just I think that they've got some serious questions there, 304 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 2: and they can tell themselves it's not a rebuild, but 305 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 2: you need to retool some things. And it's more than 306 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 2: just a couple. 307 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: It is and good. Yeah, Look, there's a lot going 308 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: on again, and they're stuck at at twenty first stock. 309 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: I mean, whatever they made the playoffs, there were one 310 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: and done. They're stuck there at twenty first, which is 311 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: truly a tradition. Unlike any other it is not a 312 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: great position to find a quarterback, although the Giants found 313 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: a quarterback in that neighborhood last year by trading back 314 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: in and taking Jackson Dart somebody the Steelers passed up on. 315 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 1: I want to tap the base real quick. On the 316 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger thing for those who haven't seen it, Joey Porter, 317 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 1: the old man, Joey Porter, the former linebacker who is 318 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: still probably fighting with William Green somewhere. And the guy 319 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: that was that was a Steelers assistant coach for a 320 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: number of years under Mike Tomlin. Remember his son Joey 321 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: Porter Junior, who is a great dude but is still 322 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 1: probably getting called for defensive holding right now somewhere in February. 323 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: I love him, right, Joey Porter Senior. Cam had it 324 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 1: on whose podcast was it was Cam Hayward, Cam Hayward's podcast, 325 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:48,120 Speaker 1: right or Cam Jordan's podcast any Cam will do He's 326 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: not a podcast with a cam and basically said, and 327 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: I'm not paraphrasing here, Ben Roethlisberger, bad guy, bad teammate, 328 00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,360 Speaker 1: bad guy, bad teammate. 329 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 2: You clean a person because a whole lot. Yeah, yep. 330 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: Said he didn't want to sign for anyone, like nothing, 331 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: Like it's a very common thing, like you bring stuff over, Hey, 332 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: can you sign this for my kid? 333 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 2: Right? 334 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: Everyone does it. It's a common courtesy. 335 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 2: Thing. 336 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: It's respect for your teammates, and your friends didn't like 337 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: to do that. Joey said he wouldn't have been captain 338 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 1: if he hadn't been quarterback, and they just felt like 339 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: they had to make him captain like bad guy. My 340 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: reaction is, oh, okay, wow, shots fire. But my other 341 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: reaction is, this is how many people are surprised zero 342 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: because everything that Joey Porter said out loud. I know 343 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 1: where Brown's podcast. I know Steeler friends you want to 344 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,400 Speaker 1: come back, but most of you actually know that deep 345 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,360 Speaker 1: out inside, it is true. I've never had a personal 346 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,679 Speaker 1: issue with Ben. I mean, other than the fact that 347 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: he's you know, ripped my heart out a thousand times. 348 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 1: He's still the same guy that blocked every single on 349 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: air talent in the NFL networked newsroom on Twitter many 350 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 1: years ago, Like one day, we all which just went 351 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: into work like, oh look, we're all blocked on Twitter. 352 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: Wasn't just us, it was other networks as well. Eventually 353 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: it was unblocked. I don't know what's going on there, 354 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 1: but that actually happened like ten years ago. But the 355 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: stories that you have heard over the years about Ben Roethlisberger, 356 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: all right, all the ones that have never made the air. 357 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: Joey Porter summed them up quite nicely. Let's just put 358 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 1: it that way in. 359 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 2: A nice forty seven second clip. Yep, that's right. A 360 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 2: lum on a lum crime in Pittsburgh. Yeah, I'm here 361 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,160 Speaker 2: for all of it. Yeah, I gotta love it. 362 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: As for the Bengals, not allowed to report other than 363 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: the fact that all the Insiders and whatever network you 364 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 1: like to watch on Sunday all said Joe Burrow is 365 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: not going to go anywhere, which is what I've been 366 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: saying forever. Mike Brown would rather tell Joe Burrow to 367 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: go sit on Carson Palmer's Orange County, California couch and 368 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 1: never play football again, then trade Joe Burrow. He never, ever, ever, ever, 369 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: ever will trade Joe Burrow because if you were to 370 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: do that, he may as well sell the team and 371 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 1: move to Kentucky. It's not going to happen, So forget 372 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: about it. Jets fans, you're not You could send your 373 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 1: five number ones to Cincinnati. Mike Brown will still not 374 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: trade you Joe Burrow. 375 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 2: Maybe he's going to work on your press box food. 376 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 2: Maybe he'll work not Maybe that's a priority for the office. Okay, 377 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 2: so full disclosure. 378 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: We've got a text chain Gibbe and the Hoff and 379 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: Nathan and Bo and like our whole big group here. 380 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: Chris Rose is in the text chain as well.

I can't take 393 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 2: a bathroom break till the game ends, right, So it's yeah, 394 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,439 Speaker 2: you pick and choose what you eat and what you consume, 395 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 2: and that is not an option. 396 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,679 Speaker 1: The Bengals, let's tipic gap.

That's just 408 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 1: the best way for me to say it. Tell you, 409 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: let's doumble back on the Browns, because we should have 410 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 1: hit this at the top. David Njoku over the weekend 411 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: tweeted out and put on Instagram a goodbye to the Browns. 412 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 1: It's something that we kind of all deep down inside 413 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 1: knew was coming. As David, always a warrior, the Chief 414 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 1: as we know him, fought through injuries again this past season, 415 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: and with Harold Fannin's emergence and the way David's contract 416 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: was structured, you knew that this was probably the last run. 417 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: That doesn't make it any easier to say goodbye. Love 418 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: the guy been here since twenty seventeen. Obviously, they've been 419 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,679 Speaker 1: a lot up and downs, and trade requests and stuff 420 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 1: off the field. But through it all, the guy's got 421 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 1: a huge heart. He's a great human being. He is 422 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 1: so much fun to be around. The er that he brings, 423 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 1: and sometimes it's annoying. You're trying to record something and 424 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 1: he walks by and drops fifty colorful metaphors, as I 425 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: believe doctor Spock once said, and you're like, dude, we 426 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 1: got to redo this. Thank you, appreciate you, And he 427 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 1: thinks it's funny. 428 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 2: I love him. 429 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:20,679 Speaker 1: I'm gonna miss him on the bus blasting his music. 430 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 2: Are you sure? Are you sure that you're gonna miss 431 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 2: him in London karaokeing on a bus. 432 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: I mean, we all wanted to sleep. We had just landed. 433 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 1: He was very eager after a transatlantic flight, very excited. 434 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: He was very excited to play music. But dude, at 435 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: the same time, like there have been times were like 436 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: I'm sitting right behind Dave on the bus and he's 437 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 1: he's jawn with fans outside. Like there have been times 438 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: where like I'll have my eyes closed and all of 439 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 1: a sudden, like he'll turn around and drop his headphones 440 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 1: and put them on me, and I'm like, oh, like 441 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: like what and God knows what the heck he's listening to. 442 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: He's also scored a lot of touchdowns right, He's also 443 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: gotten to the end zone. He's also been a fan 444 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: favorite to everyone at Huntington bank Field. He's been great 445 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 1: in the community as well. He's the guy running around 446 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: in that dune buggy with Joe Flacco making Instagram videos. 447 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: I like his energy will be. 448 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 2: Missed, yeah, and it's unfortunately they're between last year, this 449 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 2: year and probably again next year. Some tough decisions have 450 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 2: to be missed. Yeah, it's a little bit of a 451 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 2: youth movement, like if you if you can keep a 452 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 2: guy on, you've got a guy in a rookie contract 453 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 2: that's putting up the numbers that Harold Fannin is. I mean, 454 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 2: salary cap wise, you really got to manipulate things right now. 455 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 2: If you're the Browns, and it's one of those situations 456 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 2: where it's probably time and David might need a new 457 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 2: change of scenery. The Browns, you know, need to go 458 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 2: in a little bit different direction. From a youth movement 459 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 2: and from a salary cap standpoint, everything comes together and 460 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,919 Speaker 2: I wish him nothing but the best. He's a good person. 461 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,399 Speaker 1: Deepens and he. 462 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 2: Means well and his you know, his personality is infectious 463 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 2: and we just wish him the best of luck. 464 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, and from a football standpoint, let let's not forget 465 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: about the contribution that he has had on the field 466 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: since twenty seventeen. Other than Azie Newsom, who's in the 467 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, David Djokho's the most prolific tight end 468 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,439 Speaker 1: of the history of this franchise. He was a beast 469 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 1: and he had so many memorable moments. Obviously the run 470 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: that he went on the heater he went on in 471 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three at the end of the season with Flacco, 472 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: where that offense exploded and made it into the postseason. 473 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,160 Speaker 1: That's the most recent memorable run. But you know him 474 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,920 Speaker 1: back of the end zone from Jacoby Brissett against the 475 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: Buccaneers at Huntington Bank Field, that amazing catch and the 476 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: overtime victory over the Bucketeers. I mean, that was a 477 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 1: classic one as well. His rookie season, he slowly eased 478 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 1: into it, but you saw it like he could be 479 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 1: the high point guy in the end zone. He could 480 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: be that red zone threat. Todd Monkin, I mean obviously 481 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: coached him back then in his first time. He's gone 482 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 1: through a lot of coaches, a lot of different offenses, 483 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 1: a lot of up and downs, but he has been 484 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 1: the hard and soul of that offense and he will 485 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: still be breaking tackles at fifty years old. I am 486 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 1: absolutely convinced of it. I'm going to miss hearing the 487 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 1: chief from our fans, but I wish him well and 488 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: I know he can still be a productive player. 489 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,719 Speaker 2: Absolutely, And who can forget I mean, he had an 490 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 2: incident with a fire pit. Yes, he overcame, literally burned 491 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,360 Speaker 2: his face off. Yeah, and then played forty eight hours later. Yeah, 492 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 2: most people, one of the toughest humans. 493 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's beyond tough. What else have we have in 494 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: hit here? 495 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 2: Gibbe. 496 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: Look, I mean there's a lot of Todd Bonkin talk 497 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: at the Super Bowl here, and I got a lot 498 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: of people saying what's going on there? And then once 499 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: you know, we finally talked to it through, everyone agreed 500 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 1: I wanted to hit this and it was in our notes. 501 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: Everyone agreed Todd Monkin's a really good coach and a 502 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: really good hire. They were kind of surprised that's where 503 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: it landed. But all the smart football people I talked 504 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 1: to and Browns fans need to know this. They all 505 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 1: stepped back and went, he's a really good coach and 506 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,640 Speaker 1: he's going to be a very good coach for this team. 507 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 1: They were just all surprised by it. I think that's 508 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:29,360 Speaker 1: a fair reaction. 509 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll be honest. When we got word, we were surprised, yes, 510 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 2: you know, not that we had any inklining one way 511 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 2: or the other. We you know, Todd was one of 512 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 2: the first coaches that had interviewed for the job, and 513 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 2: then we went on a process for three more weeks. 514 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 2: So all of a sudden you're like, oh wait, oh okay. 515 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 2: But then you start looking at what he's done and 516 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 2: the success he's had, the number of offensive systems that 517 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:05,680 Speaker 2: he's run, the number of quarterbacks he's helped go to 518 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,919 Speaker 2: a level that maybe the quarterback wasn't even sure they 519 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:13,119 Speaker 2: could achieve that, the offenses and the successes. You know, 520 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,120 Speaker 2: I still remember when he left Georgia and was looking 521 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 2: at NFL jobs. On Cleveland Browns Daily, we were hoping 522 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 2: to god he wasn't going to Baltimore. Of course, he 523 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 2: ends up in Baltimore. You know, the talent is there. 524 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 2: What he's done is amazing in his career, and I 525 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 2: think that again, we talked about it earlier. I'm excited 526 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 2: to see when we get the team on the football 527 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 2: field in April, what this all looks like, because I 528 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 2: think he's he's a leader, and I think he's got 529 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 2: a plan, and I'm excited to see how this plan unfolds. 530 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I am as well, and I'm excited to see 531 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: how this podcast unfolds.
