1
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 1: We welcome you into a special edition of the best

2
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: podcast available, and not only because we're gonna hear from

3
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: Nathan Sigura again, but it is the debut one Anthony Poisel,

4
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: staff writer for the Cleveland Browns and Cleveland Browns dot Com,

5
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: special guest on Cleveland Brown's Daily, numerous other elements as

6
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: well throughout the Browns media network. And it's a big day, Anthony. Obviously,

7
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: this is o t a time things are starting to

8
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 1: get busy, things are starting to amp up again. But

9
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: it's also a big day in a big week because

10
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: it is the return of one Jadeveon Clowney, who you

11
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: will hear from coming up in just a few minutes,

12
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: but a big addition for Joe Woods and that Brown's defense.

13
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: Yeah huge, And I know we've talked about it on

14
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: previous CBD episodes, you know, Clowney and just feeling that

15
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: extra or that second defense even spot really kind of

16
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: felt like the last big puzzle piece that that this

17
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: team kind of needed here. And you know, Clowney always

18
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: made sort of the most sense as far as who

19
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: you want to bring back because you know what he

20
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: can provide with uh, you know him and Myles Garrett.

21
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 1: You know, nine sacks last year he played in fourteen games,

22
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: both were his highest total since two thousand and eighteen. Um,

23
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: and that really was what, you know, the gap, Like

24
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: if Clannie wasn't here there there was gonna be a

25
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: gap in that spot. And now that you know he's

26
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: finally back, it's like, okay, let's go. You know, we know, um,

27
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: maybe Miles and Jadaveon can be even better just because

28
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: they have a year under their belt. They know, um

29
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: what each of them are capable of doing when they're

30
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 1: both playing together, and um, I think it's really good

31
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 1: that they were able to kind of get that done finally.

32
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of uh, you know, just

33
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: hype about, Okay, where is Jadeveon gonna land? And it

34
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: always kind of felt like the Browns made the most

35
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: sense after what he was able to do last year. Well,

36
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: and you'll hear from Jadeveon Clowney coming up in a

37
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: few minutes in a Cleveland Browns exclusive very interview with

38
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: Nathan Sigura. But he basically said, this is where I

39
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: wanted to be. They just needed to fine tune a

40
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: few things, and you know, then Deshaun Watson comes here

41
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: as well, and uh, it's a guy that Jadeveon Clowney

42
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: knows very well, So it made even more sense for

43
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: for the player to come back, right And Greg Newsom

44
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: himself said it, you know, it's like Jadavean knew that

45
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: that this is a roster that is absolutely built to

46
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: win right now, and that's obviously a very appealing thing.

47
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: That's what he why he signed with the Browns last

48
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: year too. He saw the very talented pieces that they

49
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: have here and um, you know, he he wants to

50
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: be a part of a winning team. He wants to

51
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: win a super Bowl. Anthony Walker said that. You know,

52
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: he even texted him, um after he signs saying just

53
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: two words, you know, super Bowl. So um, you know

54
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: he wants he's here because he wants to win now

55
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: and he believes this is a roster that can win

56
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah. If you look at Jadeveon Clownies numbers

57
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: from a year ago, you know a lot of people said,

58
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: this is a guy that is really good against the

59
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: run and he could put pressure on the quarterback, but

60
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: he's not necessarily known for sacks. Well, he finished second

61
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 1: on the team last year, nine and a half sacks,

62
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: including five and a half in a final three games,

63
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: and a lot is going to be expected of him

64
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: on the opposite side of Myles Garrett once again here

65
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: in two. Yeah, definitely. I mean they him and Miles

66
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: had twenty five sacks last year, which is the most

67
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: any edge rush duo in Cleveland has had since nineteen four.

68
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: Was Reggie Camp and Clay Matthews that had that last So,

69
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: I mean, they did big things last year, and that

70
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: was the expectation, and that is once again easily the

71
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: expect expectation again. And I think it's even conceivable now

72
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,839
Speaker 1: that they have a year under their belt that maybe

73
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: they can go even higher than twenty five this year.

74
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe they're looking at, you know, the the duo record,

75
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 1: if you want to call it, for um, the most

76
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: sacks that that the two addressers have gotten um with

77
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: the Browns. So we'll see, we'll see what happens. But

78
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously the expectations are just as high, if

79
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: not higher than then last year when Clowney first came here,

80
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: you know, in the in the edge rusher side of

81
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: that room. Now you feel really good. You've got Miles,

82
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: You've got your dabut and Clowney. You've got Chase Winovitch

83
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: and then a defensive tackle. You're young, but you have

84
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: some guys that are going to get opportunities to make plays. Yeah, definitely.

85
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they bring in Taven Brian um

86
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: and and I think today we kind of saw what

87
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: I mean. It's it's it's just o t as today.

88
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: It's not like you can make any big assumptions, but

89
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: you know it was Taven Bryan and Jordan Elliott taken

90
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: the first team. Uh, you know snaps today And and

91
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: I think you know, bringing Clowney and makes you feel

92
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: a lot better about you know, what they have at

93
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: d tackle just because you know the edges set and

94
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: you know that when you have two good edge rushers,

95
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: it's going to make a life a lot easier for

96
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: for your defensive tackle groups. So I think they they're

97
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: going to try out a lot of guys. They're gonna

98
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: rotate a lot of guys um for those starting roles

99
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: this year. And and but you know they're gonna feel

100
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: good about whatever combination it is when they put it in,

101
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: just because now you know you have Miles and Jadavion

102
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: and you know what you can get out of him,

103
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: and more importantly, you know that you have an outstanding

104
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: back end of your defense with corners, safeties, you are

105
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: deep at all those positions, linebacker. There's a lot of

106
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: talent there as well a lot of expectation from a

107
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: lot of those young players that can give those frontline

108
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: guys a chance to make some place. Yeah, and it

109
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: really feels like what this front office covets most is

110
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: you know, having the edge set and they have that

111
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: with Miles and Jadavion and just like said, you know,

112
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: the secondary here is deep. They've got three safeties that

113
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: they trust, and they have multiple cornerbacks that they trust.

114
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: You can count Martin Emerson in there. You know, we'll

115
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: see what he's able to do in training camp, but

116
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: he's definitely a guy that down the line they think

117
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: is going to be able to deliver and deliver the

118
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: kind of things that they really want out of secondary

119
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: and keep that group deep. Um, you know, you gotta

120
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: have a deep secondary because you know, injuries are gonna

121
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 1: come up at some point during the season and you

122
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: have to be ready for him. And um, I think

123
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: they have what they want now. They have that deep

124
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: secondary and now you know they have another year of

125
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: of Miles and Jadeveon anchoring things on the edge. All right,

126
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: we'll get more into what this defense is gonna look like.

127
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: But right now, time to hear from the man of

128
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: the week himself. Jadeveon Clowney. Uh showed up, signed his contract,

129
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 1: went right out on the field for O T a

130
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: s and after practice, had a chance to sit down

131
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: with our Nathan's Girl and at Cleveland Brown's Exclusive have

132
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: a watch and have a listen. What a great day here, obviously,

133
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: welcoming back to Debban Clowney, welcome back, brother, good to

134
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: see you. It's good to be bad. It's good to

135
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 1: be bad. So when you're thinking about things this season,

136
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: and I know last year nine sacks, this defense had

137
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 1: a great run. At the end of the year, some

138
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: unfinished business, perhaps you could say, what made you decide

139
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: to come back to the Cleveland Browns. I just want

140
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: to chase that Super Bowl. I think we got a

141
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: shot at it. We had a great defense last year

142
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: and went out and got some more key players on

143
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: offense and some more on defense, and I just feel

144
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: like we got a shot. And Uh, I wouldn't want

145
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: to do it a better team than one I just

146
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: played with last year. Why do you think you were

147
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: able to have the success that you did in this

148
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: defense last year with the nine sexes we talked about

149
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: and then hopefully to be able to build upon that

150
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: this year. I feel like that was my first time

151
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 1: really been in a traditional four three and just really

152
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,119
Speaker 1: getting out to the quarterback and great group of guys.

153
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: A friend. Wasn't just me individual work. It was a

154
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: team eft and friend and did their job in the back.

155
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: It was doing a job man. We just had a

156
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: total team thing together there on defense, and I just

157
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: hope we continue to do that this year. Youthink about

158
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: the back seven. They're all back for the most part,

159
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: and then you've got Miles Garrett back obviously opposite you.

160
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Miles obviously was out there on the

161
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: recruiting trail trying to get you back here. What was

162
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: he saying to you and and what were the guys

163
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: saying trying to make sure you got back here in

164
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: the brown and orange. He was really like before I

165
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: left last year, was like, are you gonna come back

166
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: and back with me? I say, yeah, We're gonna have

167
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: to make that run. We get a good uh good

168
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: stinging on offense. Man, you know, we can do our

169
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: here together. So I said, uh, let's see what we

170
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: can do this. That's running back and that's what we're doing. Man,

171
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: try to run it back and go ahead and played

172
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: better when we did last year. Was it good to

173
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: just get back here on the field and get back

174
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: with the guys? Oh? I felt great, man. I missed

00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: and have a good time with him. So I'll be

180
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: looking forward to that part. A lot of familiar faces

181
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: as we talked about, but some new ones as well.

182
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: What's kind of it like? You know, getting back here

183
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: every year is a new year in the NFL, but

184
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: seeing this group and does it feel any different? Does

185
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: it feel any different than a year ago? I definitely do.

186
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: It's like I'm not walking in on getting to know guys.

187
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: I'm already know him and that's a better feeling than

188
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: and just coming into a locker room. I gotta learn

189
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: new guys and learning a new system. Walking to a

190
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: locker room now and that I know, and I know

191
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: the system is so much better. Feeling like you know,

192
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: it's just staff feeling man like you just always excited,

193
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: like I'm excited to be around him. I already know

194
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: what I'm dealing with. I know how I got, I

195
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: know what we can do together. Just hoping we can

196
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: just take that another step forward further and get where

197
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: we need to get this season. Yeah, it's it's the

198
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,679
Speaker 1: first time in a while for you, right, the same

199
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: coaching staff, every get every position room on the defense,

200
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: the same same principal players back on defense, same head coach.

201
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: All that. It's gotta be nice, right, that's a great feeling.

202
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: Like I said, I can play fast. How to thank

203
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: that much. I know what's going on. I know who

204
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: around me, I know how they play on behind me.

205
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: I can know who look behind me and say, oh

206
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: I know this guy. I've been playing with them for

207
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: a year, Like you gotta develop that chemistry with players,

208
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,839
Speaker 1: and I think just just being with them over a

209
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: year and going to year two, they know who I am.

210
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: I kind of got a feeling on who they is,

211
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: and I think it's gonna work out a lot better

212
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: than this year than the year before. Really, the only

213
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: kind of maybe new faces will be in between you

214
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: and Miles, right, And so what's it been like getting

215
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: to know some of those guys that I know. We

216
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: have a rather boisterous young fella in that room as well,

217
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: our draft pick out of Oklahoma, perry On Winfrey. I

218
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be a good player. I've been getting

219
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: on them all around. I told hey, you're gonna be

220
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: the biggest piece really to this defense. It all started

221
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: with the middle of the defense. Literally. You know, they

222
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: can talk about the ends all they want, but you're

223
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: really gonna hold a defense together. It's like to glue

224
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: to the defensive de tackle. And he gotta play big

225
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: for this year. He know that. I think he's coming

226
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: to work every day right now. Since I met Sam,

227
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: he've been working well. He learned to play book, and

228
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: I'm just looking forward to seeing where he bring to

229
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: the defense this year. Continuity on defense, We've talked about

230
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: that offense, some changes. New quarterback Deshaun Watson, I'm already

231
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: Cooper is into the fold as well. Then those running

232
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: backs are back and we're gonna get tight and David

233
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: and Joeku back as well. But what's it been like

234
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: just as you were observing, because there was a lot

235
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: of chatter out there already today, even in the seven

236
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: on sevens, but observing that offense, you know, that's my

237
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: boy to Sean, and Uh, I was happy by him

238
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: coming here, and I told him if he come back,

239
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: I was gonna follow him. So when he came back here,

240
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: I told that, you know, you got yourself another Cleveland

241
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: Brown up there right now. They just getting me up there.

242
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: So I already know he can bring to the team

243
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: I played with him. A great player to have on

244
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: your team, a great leader he can make. He can

245
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: make them plays out there on the field. And just

246
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 1: look af forward to see what he gonna do out there.

247
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: It's like a just lock in is to be excited about.

248
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see what happened. You look forward

249
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: to a big player happen, knowing he can make it happen.

250
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 1: And uh, knowing that on defense, he's just like, hey,

251
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: this is what rushed that pass, And just get to

252
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: that quarterback because we're gonna get a plenty opportunities this

253
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: year with him at quarterback. Did you try to lobby

254
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: to be the only defensive guy going to the Bahamas,

255
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: oh man, and not telling y'all do y'all thing I

256
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: need to bond together. We're gonna do. I think the

257
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: D line gonna get together do something. We're trying to

258
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: work on that now. Well, Jevin, it is great to

259
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: see a sight for sore eyes. Welcome back to the

260
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 1: Browns and excited to see what you guys get to

261
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 1: do here in the two season man. Glad to be

262
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: back and looking forward to it. Thank you, thanks to

263
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 1: Nathan's Girl for all of his fine work, and thanks

264
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: to Jadeveon Clownie for a few minutes of his time

265
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: uh signing his contract, going right out to the practice

266
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: field making some impacts. Obviously, his teammates are big fans

267
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: and love to see him back and a little pep

268
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: and less step of everybody today with number ninety returning. Yeah, definitely.

269
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: It was great to just see him coming out of

270
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: the tunnel. He was he was almost sprinting it fell

271
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: going out into the field. There was a little cool

272
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: moment I saw a Jeff you know right here, he

273
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: was right behind him, and you know, it just sounds

274
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: like it seemed like he was really fired up. Um,

275
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: I think one good thing. That was also great to

276
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: see about him being back. Is there a lot of

277
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: times I noticed where he's just just given pointers to

278
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: all the young guys that they have in that defensive

279
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 1: bend room right now. UM, And that's also just another

280
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: huge reason why they brought him here. You know, he's

281
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: seems like he's excited to um, you know, give some

282
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: pointers to these guys and really make sure that um,

283
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: the people behind him on that depth charter are gonna

284
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: be ready to step up if if they're needed. You know,

285
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: we talked about it, Andrew Barry talks about it along

286
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: with Kevin Stefanski. They're always looking for ways to upgrade things,

287
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: especially on that roster. But you really feel like now

288
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: with Clowney coming into the fold, that this is pretty

289
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: close to the team that you're gonna see trotting out

290
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: on the first day of training camp, and then out

291
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: of that group that shows up for day one of

292
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 1: training camp, that's going to be your two twenty two roster.

293
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 1: Right There's probably not gonna be very many more, if

294
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: any like big moves, because honestly, this is as complete

295
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: of a roster as you can kind of get right now,

296
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: as far as this point in the off season. I mean,

297
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: you're never gonna have a roster where it's like, okay,

298
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: we've got you know, uh, top a top of the

299
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: line stars at every single position. Um. But when you

300
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: look at compared this Rasha to others around the league,

301
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,599
Speaker 1: it's I mean it's pretty talented and um, you know,

302
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: Jadave and Colonne obviously makes a huge his signing makes

303
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: a huge difference in in shoring up the defensive line,

304
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: and as we talked about earlier, you know, defensive tackle,

305
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: there's still gonna be um, some holes there for for

306
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: maybe to fill in. So um, but that that really

307
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: is the loan position that you can kind of look

308
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: at right now and be like, okay, um, we we're

309
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: not really sure maybe who's gonna start their Week one,

310
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: but you look everywhere else and it's like you can

311
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: probably have a pretty safe guess at at who's going

312
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: to be there when they're out on the field one

313
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: week one. You know, on the offensive side of the football,

314
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: a lot of people say maybe maybe you know you

315
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: need to go get a wide receiver. Well, this wide

316
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: receiver room, I think is pretty close to what you're

317
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: gonna see here come training camp. Maybe a minor move

318
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: here or there. But uh, these guys are gonna all

319
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: gonna have the chance to prove themselves here and prove

320
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: that they belong on this astroan Week one in Carolina. Yeah, definitely,

321
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: And they obviously feel really good about Amark Cooper and

322
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: what he can bring. And you know, just hearing what

323
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 1: you know, Kevin Stefanski has said and what you've heard

324
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: from the front office, it's you know, the expectation here

325
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: for David Bell is that he's also gonna be able

326
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: to step into um obviously Donovan People's Jones, Anthony Schwartz,

327
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: the two other guys, they're both obviously still incredibly young. Um,

328
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: they have a couple For DPJ, he's got a couple

329
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: of years under his belt and Schwartz has year under

330
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: his belt now too. So you know, we could see

331
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: those guys maybe taking some big strides here, um come

332
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: training camp over the course of O T A s UM.

333
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, yes, they could still add you know,

334
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: another guy or two, never say never. Um, you know,

335
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: like Will Fooler's one name that comes to mind. He's

336
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: still out there. He's a guy that has worked or

337
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: played and has been successful with the Shawn Watson and um,

338
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: there's a few other receivers out there as well. But

339
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: you know, if they if they don't make any moves,

340
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: I don't think it would be that would be surprising.

341
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 1: It's it's they. I think they really do feel good

342
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: about um. What Donovan, People's Jones, Schwartz Belt, the guys

343
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: you just talked about it. They can all do UM,

344
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: all young players and they all capable of taking a

345
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: big up this year. All Right, you mentioned David Bell,

346
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: I know in your five things to watch here during

347
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: O t a S and there are three weeks of

348
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: O t S. Three practices this week, three next week

349
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: for the first full week in June, before we get

350
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: to mandatory minicamp. H David Bell was one of the guys.

351
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: One of the five items that you were looking at

352
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: is his progression at wide receiver, especially in the slot.

353
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: What else are you looking for here in these next

354
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: three weeks as we get through O T A S

355
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: and get ready for mandatory minicamp. Yeah, I mean the

356
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: big thing is really just watching continue to watch the

357
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: Shawan and sort of how this offense elevates a little bit. Um. Again,

358
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: this is it was just day one, but they were

359
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: running a lot of you know, kind of like option

360
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: plays and plays that are probably gonna maybe trick the defense.

361
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: And maybe that was just the focus of of you know,

362
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: day two, I guess of O t as I said

363
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: day one, it's day two. Um. But you know that

364
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: that I think is going to be the big storyline

365
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: moving forward with the offense is just you know what, Um,

366
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: how will the offense change, if at all? Could be

367
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: big changes, it could be little changes. We don't know

368
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: yet because you know, we haven't been able to see

369
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: the Shawn a whole lot and most certainly you know,

370
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: Kevin's fans came, The coaches haven't been able to spend

371
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: a whole lot of time with the Shawn on the

372
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: field because it's early so um. But moving over, you know,

373
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: over the next few weeks, we will kind of maybe

374
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: start to see you know what are what are they

375
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: thinking when it comes to what the offense will look

376
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: like this year? Um, you know they still got Nick

377
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: Chubb and Cream Hunt Like they're gonna be running the

378
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: ball a lot. Those guys will be used. Um. But

379
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: as far as like the play style, as the play

380
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: schemes and everything that were evolving around the passing game.

381
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: You know, how will that change? Um? And I think

382
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: we got a good look at it today, just as

383
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: far as how well Deshaun is able to sort of

384
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: move his feet, you know, get the ball out, um.

385
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: And that would definitely be something worth keeping an eye

386
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: on moving forward. And then you know, just like you said,

387
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: you know, just monitoring both of the slot situations, um,

388
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: because those are both open right now without Jarvis Lander

389
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: has gone, Troy Hill's gone, so that means there's two

390
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: openings there um. And it seems like David Bell is

391
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: the guy that they think could fill in on offense

392
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: and then defensively. Today, I think there were some strong

393
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: signs that it could be Greg Newsome. Um. He took

394
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: a lot of the snaps there in the slot today

395
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: and talked about it um in his uh you know,

396
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: post practice review that he's he would be really excited

397
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: to take that role, um because it's a chance for

398
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: him to be able to see the ball a little

399
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: bit more. You know, he didn't have an interception last year,

400
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: and you know he's he's acting to get an interception, UM.

401
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: And that I think is is intriguing to see if

402
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: you're a Browns fan because you know that's it's not

403
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: like he's uncomfortable with that. You know, Kevin Stfanski said

404
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: he's capable of playing both outside and inside. And I

405
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: would say after today, it seems like, you know, they're

406
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: gonna give Greg a chance to really take that inside role,

407
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: which would give him a chance to make more plays

408
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: on the ball. It'll be interesting to see because I

409
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: think you could have a situation by the time training

410
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: camps over where the top three corners on this team

411
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: could all rotate inside outside and anyone could be in

412
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: a slot on game day. Yeah, definitely. And that's the

413
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: benefit of just having a deep cornerback room is is

414
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: you know, when guys get hurt or just if you

415
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: just need to mix things up a little bit, like

416
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: you can do that. And you know, Kevin Stfansky did

417
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: say that he does plan on rotating more players into

418
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: that thought role. We obviously today we saw a lot

419
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: of Greg Newsome, but you know, who knows, maybe we'll

420
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: see maybe you'll see even a little bit of like Denzel.

421
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: We will probably see Martin Emerson slide in there at

422
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: some point, dude, to just so you know they can

423
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: see um how comfortable he is playing in that role.

424
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: So um, that to me is definitely something worth monitoring

425
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: as well. The slot role is obviously a big position

426
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: in the defense. Um, and I think you know, they

427
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: feel good about Greg Newsom, but they're also gonna give

428
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: a lot of other guys a chance to short show

429
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: what they can do in that spot. Well, you mentioned

430
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: if the offense looking good defensively, Jadavian Clowney. Uh, that

431
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: final nail I think in the coffin for this defense

432
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: here in two a pretty loaded group, just as loaded

433
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: I think as on the offensive side of the football.

434
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: It is going to be fun, especially as we get

435
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: into training camp and we get a chance to put

436
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: on the pads and see what these guys can do

437
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: against each other. And then uh, in those joint practices

438
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: against the Philadelphia Eagles. Thanks to Jeff McDaniel and thanks

439
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 1: to Anthony Bacco for all of their hard work. Anthony
