00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: Flair country. Oh, take on the Panthers Sunday morning. I'm excited.

15
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 1: Do you think any of his uh that no context flair,

16
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: was any of that scripted? That's all off the cuff.

17
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: My back then, they wouldn't be scripted. Just pretty much

18
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: you knew where he was going and then he's got

19
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: to sell the match. But sell it however you want

20
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 1: to sell it, right, there's one for everyone. Uh, yeah,

21
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: it's very appropriate to go into Flair country because this

22
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: one has a w WV field to it, doesn't it.

23
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: I was just, that's so funny you said that. I So,

24
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: I was just talking with my good friend Steve Rosen

25
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: was here on some business and we had to hang

26
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: out for a second in the lobby and we were

27
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: talking about and I was like, like like, I don't know

28
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: that that the league is trying to put the spotlight

29
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: on this game. You look at like the crew that's

30
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: going to do the game relative to you couldn't have

31
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: been nance. It's spirodidas Jay Feely and then add on

32
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: the sideline. So I said, you know, I don't feel

33
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: like they want to play, said and we but came

34
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: to the said, this is w w E. This is

35
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 1: a loser leaves town match. Happened, he's gone, but now

36
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: yet he's back for restitution, and you want to show

37
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: him that no, there will be no restitution for you.

38
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: And so this is this is a big matchup against

39
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: this Panther's team and it's gonna be Uh, it's gonna

40
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: be a lot of fun. I'm actually, as I'm getting

41
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: into now, I'm really diving into uh you know this

42
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: matchup and I got my boards are are ready to go,

43
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: Well they're not ready to go, but there you're getting there,

44
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: ready to be started to be filled in and everything

45
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: and just you know, learning about this this team. Let's

46
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: hear from the coach going down to Carolina, so the

47
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 1: preparations are underway. You know, this team I think is

48
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: a is a good football team. I know coach Rule well,

49
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: have a ton of respect for him and what he's

50
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: building down there. You know, you just look at them

51
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: on all three sides of the ball, their offense with

52
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: coach McAdoo. Uh, you know, for us, there's a little

53
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: bit of the unknown with coach McAdoo being last in Jacksonville,

54
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: calling it in New York. Obviously was in Green Bay,

55
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: so have some tape on coach going back a little bit,

56
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: and then obviously the preseason, but there's unknown. It's week one.

57
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: That's kind of how that works. Uh. Defensively with coach Snow,

58
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 1: he's been with Coach Rule for a long time. Very

59
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 1: very aggressive, high high pressure rate, good players at all

60
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: three levels of the defense, so quite the challenge. And

61
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: then special teams coach Tabor, who everybody knows was here. Uh,

62
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: really good coach as sound schemes, So we're gonna have

63
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: our work cut out for us. So again, it's Wednesday

64
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: of of a game week, so a lot to get done,

65
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: but looking forward to it. And then the team voted

66
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: for captains, so we're gonna have five season captains. We

67
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: will still have a game captain that's unique to that week.

68
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: Your captain's on offense are Joel Betonio and Nick Chubb,

69
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: on defense, Myles Garrett, Anthony Walker Jr. And on special

70
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: teams Charlie Hewlett. So you I always think it's a

71
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: big deal when when the team votes, when your teammates

72
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,839
Speaker 1: vote for for you, I think that says a lot.

73
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: So I think those guys are all great leaders in

74
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: their own way. Uh, And we'll provide great leadership for

75
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: this team. And with that, I'll take any questions just

76
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: sick just say expect them back. Okay. So the first

77
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: two years you were not big on team captains. Yeah,

78
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: I mean I've you know, been on a bunch of teams.

79
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: Sometimes you have team captains. That was a unique year.

80
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: Just felt like it was the right thing to do

81
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: with changing up the captains each week. Um, so it

82
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: was something that we should do this year. I would

83
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: tell you, and I told the whole team that you

84
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: don't need to see on your chest to be a leader.

85
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: You just don't. Um. So I think leadership comes from

86
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 1: a bunch of areas of your football team. But I

87
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: do think it says a lot about those players, uh,

88
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: those players that will represent us before the game and

89
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: go out there. It says a lot about who you

90
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: are only healthy butiful season. But what he is? What

91
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: what is the biggest way he stresses a defense? I

92
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: would say just he can do it all, Chris. He's

93
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: so versatile. Uh. He runs, he can run downhill, he

94
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: can run on the perimeter, he can catch the ball

95
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: in the backfield. You can line him up a wide receiver.

96
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: There's really not much he he can't do. He's just

97
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: a really, really good football player. Listed Anthony Walker as

98
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: the starter on the debt chart. I mean he and

99
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,799
Speaker 1: Jacob had been splitting it on Anthony will start? Okay, um,

100
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: why will he get the start? And he's still expect

101
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: Jacob to play a Jacob's gonna play a ton. You know,

102
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: you get eleven guys that are quote unquote starters on

103
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: either side of the ball, and then you have guys

104
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: that play a ton of football for you and help

105
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: you win. You know, I would highlight Ronnie Harrison, you know,

106
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: going to be playing a ton of defense for us,

107
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: can be playing a ton of special teams. Is he

108
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: quote unquote a starter? I guess not, but to me

109
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: he is. So you know, we look at it. You

110
00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: got fifty three guys on the Act of forty eight.

111
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: One game day, they're all gonna play. We're gonna need

112
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 1: all of them, but obviously you're gonna start with eleven

113
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: on either side. You look, he looks to me in

114
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: a way bigger even than he has been in the past.

115
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: Is that the case? And how much better can he

116
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: be than he has been your first two years? Yeah?

117
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 1: I don't know that he's bigger Jeff, just from a

118
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: weight and lean mess, I'm not sure. But he looks great.

119
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: He's in great shape, he's ready to roll. Obviously didn't

120
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: play in the preseason. He's fresh, he's ready for a

121
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: good day's work. Is today do you still have those

122
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: lingering thoughts or fears of what don't you're talking about?

123
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: I mean, like, do you take extra measures still to

124
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 1: like get him away from everybody so that this doesn't

125
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: turn into a thing. As you can imagine, We're just

126
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: gonna with every player, staff member, if you're sick, we'll

127
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: just always be smart. And but I don't want to

128
00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: talk too much about it. Brickfield, did you look at

129
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: him Brahms games Shield. Yeah, yeah, I think when you're

130
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: studying any of the players Tony, I think you gotta

131
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: look at the full body of work. And obviously with

132
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: Baker we had two years of work with him in

133
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: our offense. Uh, you watch the preseason, but yeah, you

134
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: definitely go back and study players. Um, you know you

135
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: want to have a you wanna have as big as

136
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: sample size as possible to prepare for a guy Y

137
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: the play it's not position, and I just is there

138
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: a min reason just to how do that plays out? Yeah,

139
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: just how we like to do it around here, just

140
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: forced interaction the offensive guys and defensive guys, order guys

141
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: and younger guys all the ODU. Yeah, yeah, he's practicing

142
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: the day again. He's hitting all the benchmarks and will

143
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: just continue to bring him along m before to get

144
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: every alterably count teams and extric Last year, certain fans

145
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: did a lot of you to do, guys, and you

146
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: got to be kind of good and it made so

147
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: you're old. We kind of get back to that philosophy. Umat.

148
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: I think every honestly, Darrel, I mean I think every

149
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: team is trying to do that. You're trying to get

150
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: the lead and then get into four minute offense. So

151
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: of course for us, yes, whatever formula uh it is,

152
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: you'd you'd love to get a lead early and be

153
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: able to run the ball when they know that you're

154
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: running it. I mean, that's four minute football. Um, but

155
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,599
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta call and play the game that

156
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: is called for. Couldn't glean too much from the Pittsburgh

157
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 1: tape from last year, the last game Baker played here. Um,

158
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: but how do you feel about that it? I mean,

159
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: can you kind of take from what they did to him? No?

160
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: I think you know, again, we have uh two seasons

161
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 1: worth of Baker with us in this offense. But that

162
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: was this that was the Cleveland Browns offense. So hard

163
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 1: to say exactly what the Carolina Panthers offense will look

164
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: like again with a new coordinator. You're watching a lot

165
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: of tape and you're taking you're making some assumptions based

166
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: on their personnel, but it's it's hard to say until

167
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: we get to Sunday at one, because yeah, you know,

168
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: really good football player has made a ton of plays,

169
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 1: can make plays on schedule, off schedule, uh ton of

170
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: armed talent um. So we have our workout for us.

171
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: We've seen him make a ton of play, so we

172
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 1: know it's a good football player. And for him and

173
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 1: for your guys to a different degree, how do you

174
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: make sure that your guys don't get caught up in

175
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: that this is some kind of a great I think

176
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: for us, Tom it's Brown's versus Panthers. It's it's pretty simple.

177
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: We got prepared for their offense, their defense, their special teams.

178
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: So that's really where our focus is the rules or anything.

179
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: Because he's so familiar with what you guys do. There's

180
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: a little bit of that. You know, we talked about

181
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: it the other day. You don't you don't want to

182
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: over think those type of things, but you understand that

183
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: he was in our system for two seasons, so nose

184
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: code words, hand signals, those type of things, So sure

185
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: you're you're always you assume that their coaches know all

186
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: of that as well. Help their team get motivated to

187
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: Baker throw a softball to you with what Yeah? Really No.

188
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: The motivation is we're playing a good football team on

189
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: the road Game one. That's that's really all you need.

190
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 1: Timply new phenomena that nobody plays anymore in the preseason.

191
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: So every first game on the season has been a mystery.

192
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: Have you found that there there are big surprises new era? Yeah?

193
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: Not not really, Tony. I think you know, like you mentioned,

194
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: we held some guys out of the preseason. Uh, some

195
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: teams don't play anybody. Some teams play a ton of people.

196
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: So I do think week one the preseason is a

197
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,599
Speaker 1: distant memory for a lot of people. Um. I know

198
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: we have guys that didn't play in the preseason that

199
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: are chopping at the bit. Kick returs we'll see, I say,

200
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: unrealistic to expect him to be seventy plays pready. Those

201
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: are obviously things that we're talking about. But I would

202
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: just tell you with Jack, he has worked very, very

203
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: hard this offseason. He continues to work hard, so he's progressing.

204
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 1: M Do you know who we have a good idea.

205
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of what we talked about previously.

206
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: We have a bunch of guys in this roster that

207
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 1: can do it. I'm very comfortable with multiple guys who

208
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: we put out there the first time on punk kickoff. Well,

209
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: we'll see on that. Does anything that happened over this

210
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: summer summer inform his role heading into the season or

211
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: is that water water under no, anything that happened previously

212
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: to use your words water in the bridge. But he's

213
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: a big part of what we do. Get it out record.

214
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: When you did get different coaches play calling, chances are

215
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 1: you resorting now back to regular season you'll be calling Yes,

216
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 1: Keith's big leg. Has that made you recalibrate your metrics

217
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 1: for third and fourth downs? Now? I think we have

218
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 1: a rookie kicker, so you've gotta be smart about that

219
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: and understand he's actually be perfect right away. That's that's

220
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: just rookies. Uh, you don't have to grow as a

221
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 1: season goes on. Having said that, we think highly the

222
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: kid um, so that will affect decision making. Sure it's

223
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: young wide receivers from your perspective ready, uh, I mean

224
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 1: a lot is going to be expected of them, and

225
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: they're young players and a lot of them are inexperienced players.

226
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: So how do you from your perspective balance the counting

227
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: on them, but also the understanding they are young and

228
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: similar to Gate, that they're not going to be prof Yeah,

229
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: you know, specifically to the young players. I mean, Donovan

230
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 1: doesn't feel young to me anymore. Uh. Anthony Schwartz is

231
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: a very very intelligent football player. So I think that

232
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: room as a whole is so mature and professional. I

233
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: don't worry about you know that is it too big

234
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: for them? Part of it? I think. I think they're

235
00:13:55,679 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: ready to go signy nine before the game. You will, Marlo,

236
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 1: but I won't. I had thought Jacob Phillips, who the

237
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: ones for a lot of off season program and then

238
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: be injured, hearts he started a captain. What does it

239
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: say about it in the way you handled well, you know,

240
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: it gives me an opportunity. I'll talk about Anthony, but

241
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: it gives me an opportunity to talk about Jacob. You know,

242
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: I think very very highly of Jacob the player, obviously

243
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: the person. Uh. Just because Anthony's the starter quote unquote

244
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: does not mean that Jacob doesn't have a huge role

245
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: for us moving forward. Um, he's gonna help us win.

246
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: Anthony Walker, as we've been around the last couple of years,

247
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a reason we kept him around. There's

248
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: a reason we wanted him back here. Um, in this building.

249
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: He provides great leadership, very good communicator, does a great job,

250
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: you know, running the defense if you will. UM so

251
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: excited about him, and and you're ready to work through injuries.

252
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: But he's somebody that you can count on to stay

253
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:10,479
Speaker 1: engaged throughout whether he's in in the huddle on the sideline,

254
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: he's always staying engaged. James would be. I think we're

255
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: working through it. I tell you, he's very intelligent, so

256
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: I don't think it will be something that he can't do.

257
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: But we're working through it. Time to really get these

258
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: defensive tackles up to see what about what they've shown

259
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: me makes you confident? In confident in Yeah, Cam, I

260
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: think they're you know, those guys have worked very hard.

261
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: I've seen it in practice. I kind of know what

262
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: they're capable of. Um, I think we've played good defense

263
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: at that position last couple of years. I think these

264
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: guys are ready to do the same. Okay, thanks guys.

265
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: All right, there's coach Dfanski at the podium as we

266

267
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,000

288
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: five of captains. Five name captains is voted on by

289
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: the team. Joel Bottonio, Nick Chubb, Miles Garrett, Anthony Walker Jr.

290
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: And then Charlie Hewitt who will be joining us a

291
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: little bit later in the brook Charlie joining it as well,

292
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,239
Speaker 1: So those would be the five. What do you make

293
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,479
Speaker 1: of that? Anything time for a change, what it's interesting

294
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: and when things you'll hear when we play my interview

295
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: with Charlie later on is is you know he said,

296
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: it's different, it's a different vibe, it's a cohesive team.

297
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: And I think that's something that you know, this team

298
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: under Kevin's fans for the first time get has a

299
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 1: normal locker room situation. They really know each other, They

300
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: like hanging out with each other in and out of

301
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: the building, and so I think that it was probably

302
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: something the players said, Look, we want to pick some

303
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: leaders and and honor the guys that are you know,

304
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 1: we want to be our leaders on and off the field.

305
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: And I don't think it's any surprise who has chosen Batonio,

306
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb on the defensive side, Myles Garten. Now, people

307
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,239
Speaker 1: might be surprised about Anthony Walker, but if you are

308
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 1: around the team and you see he is the leader

309
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: of the defense. And I even talked to him about

310
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: that when we interviewed. I interviewed him a week. I

311
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: was saying the last two weeks I interviewed Anthony Walker

312
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: before I think the preseason finale there against the Bears.

313
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: He is the leader. He is beloved by everybody on

314
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: that side of the ball. He does everything the right way.

315
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: And so you get him and then Charlie Hewlett. You know,

316
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: the last time we had captains, he was a special

317
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: team's captain in two thousand and nineteen. He's especially as

318
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: captain again this year. And so you know, it doesn't

319
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: that's I think that's a great group. Doesn't surprise me

320
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form. You've got great leadership,

321
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 1: you've got great production. You know, Walker was our leading

322
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: tackler a year ago, a hunter tackles um and so

323
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: there you go. I think it speaks to you know

324
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: how far my else has come. It's you know, you're

325
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 1: usually best player, and he's our best player, um and

326
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: and but there's more than that. You know, he really

327
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: has taken a leadership face of the franchise role this

328
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: summer and through camp. We've noted that several times. And

329
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: then Nick, who doesn't say anything ever, but just do

330
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: it as I do it, you know. And so when

331
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: your best players are Nick Chubb and Myles Garrett, there's

332
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: it's pretty easy for people to follow them because they're

333
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,239
Speaker 1: doing all the stuff the right way. So I think

334
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: that's a big moment for for them. And then obviously, Joel,

335
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: you wanta talk about one of our best players, certainly

336
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,239
Speaker 1: among them as well. When you think about that, UM,

337
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: I think the other thing that I wanted to circle

338
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: back to you mentioned how close this team is. This

339
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: as we talked about yesterday with Pauldi Podesta, and as

340
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: we've talked about a lot over the course of this

341
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: off season. It's been very tough. It's been a tough

342
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: off season. There's been a lot going on, UM, But

343
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: I do think that it has caused this team with

344
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,959
Speaker 1: a very much US against the world mentality or bunker

345
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: in mentality. I think that that was evident in camp, UM,

346
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: and it isn't necessarily just the notion of like, I

347
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: don't want that to be misconstrued into like, hey, we're

348
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 1: right there, nothing like that. But just like we got

349
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: each other's back while all this noise is going on

350
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: out here, we got each other's back. And I noticed

351
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: that in camp, and I think that maybe that plays

352
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 1: into this a little bit too. I completely agree they

353
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: are very unified. Uh you know, you'll hear again, like

354
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: I said from Charlie thinks this is a team that

355
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: has a chance to be something special, and now to

356
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: be something special other than a group of guys that

357
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: really likes each other, you've gotta win, and so that

358
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: is the task. Obviously. The Browns looking to win a

359
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: Week one game for the first time since two thousand

360
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: and four, which when you think about staggering. So the

361
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: second longest streak ever is eight games. The Colts have

362
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: a current streak at eight games, tied with three others

363
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: that second long sever of the Browns are at seventeen oh,

364
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,880
Speaker 1: sixteen and one in that span. Of course, the tie

365
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 1: with the Steelers in two thousand and eighteen in the

366
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 1: rain low those many years ago. But this is a

367
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 1: team that is you know, certainly it has a chance.

368
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: It does feel like there is a brotherhood, It does

369
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: feel like there is a collective unity amongst this team

370
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: with a common goal and common purpose. But you you

371
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: still got to go out there and do it. And

372
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: so this is the time for this football team to

373
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,959
Speaker 1: go out and do that. And when they'll be led

374
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: by Jacoby Brissett, who was you said, we'll hear from

375
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: his media session today. Uh, and he's you know, he's

376
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: red hot two game winning streak as a starter, So

377
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: maybe we can get the three in a row. Let

378
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 1: the other thing of note there the notion that Jenevian

379
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: Clowney is out today with illness, but nothing expected at that.

380
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: So the players back in the building today as they

381
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: practice ahead of Sunday's opener against Carolina. UM. It is

382
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: an opener as we set off the top if you

383
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: if you missed, we joined a little early. We get

384
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 1: coach on time. It's an opener that's made for professional wrestling. Honestly,

385
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 1: with what you're saying, we're saying that off the top

386
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: it had that feel. Uh. You mentioned Flair and immediately

387
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: went there, Well, this is fitting because it has all

388
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,400
Speaker 1: of that. It's one of those ones that we've used

389
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,719
Speaker 1: the word referendum. I think that that's fair. I think

390
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: there's a lot of juice to it here locally, probably

391
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: even more so than there is in in Charlotte. I

392
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: actually saw a u A graphic of the highest price

393
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: tickets in the NFL, and they are as you expected

394
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: they would be. I think the highest price ticket in

395
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: the NFL this weekend is Broncos and and Seahawks, with

396
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: Russ Wilson's trip back there. Pretty wild by the way

397
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 1: that the NFL did that did Wilson at Broncos and

398
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: in weeks Broncos at wils at Seattle in week one, UM,

399
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: and then the idea that I think Rams Bills was

400
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 1: up there. We were ninth, ninth highest ticket. This is

401
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: a pretty nondescript game from a non Browns, non Baker

402
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 1: story perspective, like there's really good divisional I mean, heck,

403
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: in our division the Steelers play the Bengals this week

404
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 1: and that was up there too. I want to say

405
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: it was seventh, UM, but I don't know if you

406
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 1: just if the Baker aspect wasn't in this, I don't

407
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: think this is the ninth best game of the week.

408
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: Is proofed by who's on the call necessarily not a

409
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: shot at then, but that's not the A team so

410
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: Browns fans travel. It is a travel, that's it. It's

411
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: a travel a lot of orange. I know tons of

412
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: people who are going in this game tons as if

413
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna feel kind of I think almost like

414
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: in some ways a home game, and there is juice

415
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: to it. This is a deeply personal game to the

416
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 1: quarterback of the Carolina Panthers, who was a Cleveland Brown

417
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: And again I go through all these things that what

418
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 1: can all be true. It can be that he's been

419
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: the best quarterback we've had since you know, Bernie. And

420
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: it can also be true that the Browns felt they

421
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: need to upgrade the quarterback position, which they went out

422
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: and they did. You know, it can be true that

423
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: he's the best quarterback the Browns have. Head can also

424
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: be true nobody in the NFL strown more interceptions than

425
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: him since two thousand eighteen, since he came into the

426
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: league from fifty six. And the Browns wanted to get

427
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: obviously an elite quarterback to Shaun Watson, Uh, they wanted

428
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: to get in Jacoby Brissett, a guy that will not

429
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: do that is in no danger to lead the league interceptions. Um,

430
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: and so that that's really the plan and that's the

431
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 1: way that they plan on operating. And so yeah, it's

432
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: gonna be personal to him. It's gonna be personal, I

433
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 1: think on some level to some players, certainly in this organization.

434
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: They're gonna be professional about it. But it is this

435
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: is a game that's got some juice to it. I mean,

436
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: there's just no way other way to say it. It's

437
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: got some juice to it. And that's okay, that's good.

438
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: I mean, every television Northeast Ohio is on this Sunday,

439
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 1: and the numbers for this are gonna be crazy around here.

440
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: Not in a none in southern Ohio. Sad well, Cincinnati

441
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 1: would be they would be showing Bengals Steel Central Central.

442
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: Perhaps No. Well, look, they're in a tough spot because

443
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: so that's the only one we've we've got tweeted about this.

444
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: What you know, can you help us in Columbus. Look,

445
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: they're in a tough spot. It's the only city in

446
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: the country that is equal distant between two NFL franchises

447
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: within the same state that occupy the same division. I

448
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: either on the same network. Every other scenario like this,

449
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 1: it's either you know, if it's in Florida, your Bucks

450
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 1: or your Dolphins, if you're in Dallas, your Texans, not

451
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 1: that there's any Texans fans, your Texans or your Cowboys.

452
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: You see, this is the only one. Giants Jets are

453
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: a f C Giants or NFC. Same thing in Philly,

454
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and the Eagles. One's one, one's the opposite. This

455
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: is the only situation like this. You have a city

456
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: that's in the middle of the state that's equal distance

457
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: from both and they're in the same division. So they

458
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: I used to work at that station, and you you

459
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 1: would have to make this decision every week. And the

460
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: rule of Thumb and Columbus was this, if it was

461
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: Browns and Bengals, Brown's always won, and so we would

462
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: always show Browns, even if the Bengals were better, and

463
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: in many instances they were. This is the dalton A

464
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: j Green You Joe Browns anyway, because that's what the

465
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: audience demanded. If it was Bengals versus Steelers, that would

466
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 1: trump Browns. And because the combinations no no, no, no no.

467
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: There's a lot of Steelers fans in Columbus. So the

468
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: combination of of Steelers and Bengal head to head trump's

469
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: Brown's independently so they're in a brutal spot, in fact,

470
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: a unique spot to the rest of the country. But

471
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: that's the thinking and I don't blame them. I understand

472
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: why they're doing what they're doing. It's a it's super Bowl.

473
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: Yeah they did. And by the way, they got a

474
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 1: kid from the viewing areas starting at quarterback who's pretty likable.

475
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: Um hard knocks last night. Did you take it in?

476
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: Of course, it's good. I thought it was cool, and

477
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: they followed some of the guys that first time I

478
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: didn't make it and then landed up somewhere else like

479
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: David Blow and uh and Pempleton. I enjoyed it. I

480
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: thought it was I thought very captivating, and I thought,

481
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 1: you know the end with Campbell or the team that

482
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: you know that can and will and he's he's the

483
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 1: real deal. And I felt like watching his interactions even

484
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: with the guys that they cut and the guys you

485
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: know we want to bring back on the practice squad,

486
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 1: and the way that everybody responded to them. He and

487
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: the general manager you know about I can see what

488
00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: you got are trying to build here, and you know

489
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: what you're doing allowing men to be men and to

490
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: be you know themselves in the framework of this team.

491
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: That was cool. I'm this is a rare edition of

492
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks in look, I've always liked off California kid,

493
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 1: and I liked him in that draft, and he's taking

494
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 1: the rams of Super Bowl and was you know, cast aside,

495
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: which is to me the person there's any quarterback that

496
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: could ever have a grievance in the league, it would

497
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: be him. He doesn't because he's he's a very mild

498
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: mannered guy. But I thought the series was effective at

499
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: making me interested and honest root rooting for the Detroit lines,

500
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 1: like I'd like to see them have a surprise, awesome year.

501
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: I think that'd be a lot of fun. I think

502
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: they did a pivot, and you're not always going to

503
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: be this way. I mean, god knows. They had Mike

504
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,479
Speaker 1: quite as a coach of the Falcons a few years ago,

505
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: and that's a debacle. But if you have a coach,

506
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: there are many instances where you could do this like

507
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: you do in Tennessee. But if you have a coach

508
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 1: who's willing to do this stuff, that is far more

509
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 1: fascinating than following nondescript player. And in some cases, as

510
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 1: in last year with Dallas. It wasn't that interesting with

511
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 1: Dac and Zeke. We know so much about those guys

512
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: that as they were following around, it wasn't anything that

513
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: you didn't kind of already know. So I think Campbell

514
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: is unique. But yeah, I'm with you. I thought I

515
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 1: thought that that was a big, a big highlight of it.

516
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 1: I'll be rooting for them. I think they're an easy

517
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: team to root for. One last thing on it wasn't

518
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: Eminem awkward, super awkward, strange. It was like he was

519
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 1: trying to act tough, like he's got to be fifty,

520
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: doesn't he It was I thought, I thought it was

521
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: a very bizarre turn. Wasn't it weird? Like he was?

522
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: So he shows up in like a lion's colored hoodie

523
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: or something, dressed like Eminem, and then he was like

524
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: saying he was rooting for the team. He very clearly

525
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: had watched Hard Knox and apparently he must have like

526
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: a spaghetti company months spaghetti. So he does that up there,

527
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: so he brought it into to feed the team and

528
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: so there you know, you're having this conversation and then

529
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: he um like when he would talk to a player

530
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: about some sort of football feat. He would act as

531
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: if he could do it that any position, I'm great,

532
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: any position, I'm great. Just like when the one coach

533
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: Overtrange when stopped shaking his hand, He's like, are we

534
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: gonna like that? I thought was actually funny that he was,

535
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: but he was very awkward. I would agree, I thought,

536
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: I agree with that. What's our fifty? I thought, yeah,

537
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: I had to be Yeah, yeah, that was that was

538
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: and he's slinging spaghetti. Now. They also had a in

539
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:23,959
Speaker 1: that scene. I don't know if you guys picked up

540
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: on this. I love when NFL teams have like their

541
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: logo history and meeting rooms and stuff. You know where

542
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: I'm going with this go and then I'm sure I'm

543
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: gonna jump on so they show their logo history. I

544
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: had no idea. They get a logo with an old

545
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: time NFL player like yielding Lions, bring it back? Where

546
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: is that? Bring it back? That not? Was that not

547
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: an attention getter? I wanted? I said that to Miss

548
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: k I was like, I put that on a hoodie,

549
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: let's go so like amazing. It kind of looked like

550
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell if he was, you know, running in

551
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: the midst of them, like three lions on leashes that

552
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: he was running or he was almost like kind of

553
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: ben her chariot, like what Either way, it was awesome,

554
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: Like that was the coolest logo. How is that not on?

555
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: I mean, they should be selling stuff with that. Put

556
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: it on. It's awesome. Talking to my guys at homage,

557
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: like get that thing on T shirts. That thing was awesome.

558
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: I also feel like the Icona graphy if I said

559
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: that right, I kind of think iconography of the lion

560
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: that has permeates their building and all the different lines,

561
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: like real lions, they're lion like photos, posters, whatever. I'm

562
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: into all of it. I think it's just like it's

563
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: a sweet vibe for yeah, because they have like the ones.

564
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: It's like the real lions, real lions. Some are their lions. Yeah,

565
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: it looks like it's a guy jumping. Oh maybe like

566
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: the lions are lead blocking for the player. Maybe yeah,

567
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: they're lead blocking for him. So, I mean, it's awesome,

568
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: it's amazing. It's an A plus. So it's funny. In

569
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: the last night, it felt like it was multiple lions,

570
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: but now that I'm seeing it up close, it's really

571
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: just one. What I thought it was three, but I

572
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: think it's isn't it just one lion? Yeah, because the

573
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: different mains, I guess the mains make it look like

574
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: it's several. But either way, it's amazing. I'd like it

575
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: to be three lines. Three lines would be ideal. Yeah,

576
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I like it's a it's an easy cell.

577
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: It's it's really amazing that they've had really the least

578
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: amount of success in the NFL over the last sixty

579
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: years of any team, any franchise, because they've got it

580
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: feels like everything, stability everywhere, a great brand, great colors,

581
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: all of it. But it just it hasn't worked all right.

00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,959
Speaker 1: and for that we bring on doctor Z who's got

599
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: notes at boards? Oh baby, we got a lot of

600
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: stuff here. So Carolina Panthers last year five and twelve,

601
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: they were a unique team and that they were the

602
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: only team that had a top three offense and a

603
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: top three defense and a bottom three offense, which they

604
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: had last year. They were the number two overall total

605
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: defense in the NFL. The Browns, by the way, fifth

606
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: in total defense. A year ago. They were fourth in

607
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: the passing defense, uh third in yards per place, So

608
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: they were elite there. So what was their achilles heel?

609
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: Why were they not good enough? Well, they were thirty

610
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: in the red zone and they did not force many

611
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: takeaways twenty six in terms of takeaways. In fact, for

612
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: posing quarterbacks for being as good of a past defense

613
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: as they were, posing quarterbacks at a quarterback rating of

614
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: a hundred point eight against them and through twenty six

615
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,719
Speaker 1: touchdowns with only nine picks. But this is a very

616
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: good back end of the defense. I imagine those picks

617
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: will go up with J. C. Horne back healthy. So

618
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: this is a team strength of It is the defense,

619
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. That's where they are, you know,

620
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: that's where they make their Hey. However, it's an offense

621
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: that isn't bad, and throw last year stats out of

622
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: the window. You know, they did not have Christian McCaffrey

623
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: last year for the majority of the season. Uh. And

624
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Christian McCaffrey was worth. With McCaffrey last year,

625
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: they averaged twenty points a game and three one total

626
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: yards without him sixteen points and two hundred eighty three

627
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: total yards. So he was worth four points and forty

628
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,719
Speaker 1: yards of offense a game, which is quite a bit

629
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: pretty staggering figure there for Christian McCaffrey. He um, they

630
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: were four and three with McCaffrey last year, they were

631
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,800
Speaker 1: one and nine without him. So he makes a difference

632
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: for this football team. Um, from two thousand, seventeen to

633
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 1: nineteen five thousand, four hundred and forty three scrimmage yards.

634
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: That was most in the NFL. That's not a surprise

635
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: since two thousand nineteen averages a hundred and thirty six

636
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: point six scrimmage yards per game in one touchdown per game.

637
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: Those are that's both most in the NFL. Um only

638
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: ten games the last two years from him and just

639
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 1: six years of age. That's it. Only ten games. He's

640
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: missing games in two years, twenty three out of the

641
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:43,720
Speaker 1: last thirty three games after not missing anything to start

642
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 1: his career, and so he's very important for them. The

643
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 1: other big name to know on offense is d J Moore,

644
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: and you and I were talking in the break about this.

645
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: DJ Moore is a flat out stud, folks, and he

646
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: can line up anywhere on the field. If you were

647
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 1: to look at and ask yourself, Okay, there are three

648
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: people in the NFL. Let's take Gibb. You wanna do

649
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: some guests the stats. Let's dance alright. Three people in

650
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: the NFL with eleven dred or more receiving yards in

651
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 1: each of the last three seasons. Can you name them?

652
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: Only three? Three receivers players one's not a receiver, which

653
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:22,479
Speaker 1: helps you. Acaffrey, No, he's been hurt. Never mind strip

654
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 1: that three players eleven yards receiving in each of the

655
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 1: last three seasons. That's all. That's all. That's the threshold.

656
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup okay, uh, Davante Adams Okay, one's not a receiver.

657
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey Okay, So you went one for three there.

658
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey is correct. The other two are Stefon Diggs

659
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: and d J Moore. Probably should have gone down that road,

660
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: but in no way pretty well for you that it

661
00:35:57,960 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: was going to be d J Moore. In no way,

662
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: shape or form that name crushed my mind. No, I

663
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: don't think it would have for me either. I mean

664
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: when you were going through that in the break, I

665
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: thought it was stupefying what he's done and was completely

666
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: unaware and juxt supposed to the quarterbacks you've thrown to it,

667
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: it's even more impressive since two thousand nine. Here are

668
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: your leaders in the since two thousand nineteen. I'm sorry,

669
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: here your leaders in the NFL and receiving yards. Cooper

670
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: Cup one, Davante Adams to Stefon Diggs, three, Travis Kelsey

671
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: four d J. Moore five, which is an incredible thing.

672
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 1: He actually had more receiving yards last year then all

673
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: the other wide receivers on Carolina combined. So that's the

674
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: focus of this team. You have those two. Robby Anderson

675
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: he can still hit you over the top. He's a

676
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: big play wide receiver um and then the question will be,

677
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: you know, can they protect Baker Mayfield. Last year on offense,

678
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 1: this was not a good team. They gave up the

679
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: fourth most sacks in the NFL. They were dreadful. They're

680
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 1: dreadful in every category. Honestly, they were last in yards

681
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: per play in total offense twenty ninth and scoring twenty ninth,

682
00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 1: and passing twenty nine and third sacks twenty nine, in

683
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: uh turns giveaways. They were dreadful. It's a new team, though,

684
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: Addin McCaffrey. Baker Mayfield is now the quarterback, which is

685
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 1: an upgrade on Sam Donald, d J. Moore. Terence Marshall's healthier.

686
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:15,720
Speaker 1: You bring in Hollywood Higgins. They drafted on the offensive line.

687
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:21,760
Speaker 1: Their first first pick, kem Ekwano out of North Carolina

688
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: State sixth overall in this draft. They brought in Austin Corbett,

689
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,760
Speaker 1: former Brown on a big contract, as well as Bradley Bozeman,

690
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: the center of the Baltimore Ravens. So they've made some

691
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: moves there. But this is a team that I think

692
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: is going to win in a similar fashion to the

693
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. Playing good defense. They are excellent in the

694
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: back end. You think about a Dory Jackson, J C. Horne,

695
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: You've got C. J. Henderson, You've got Jeremy Chin, Xavier Woods.

696
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: You know these are all early draft picks. George is

697
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: a superstar before he got hurt last year or two.

698
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: Directory was crazy. And then you know Jeremy Chinn was

699
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 1: second in the Defensive Player Rookie of the Year voting

700
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: two years ago. Their strong safety, So that's good. Brian Burns,

701
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 1: they're leading pass rusher Pro Bowler last year, nine sacks

702
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 1: in each of the last two seasons. But he's only

703
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: two fifty and they play a true four three. You

704
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: can run the football at him. I expect the Browns

705
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,280
Speaker 1: to do that. I expect the Browns trying to power

706
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:17,280
Speaker 1: it down his throat. And then they lost Hassan Reddick.

707
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: I think that is a big, big loss for them.

708
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 1: Last year he led the team with eleven sacks, stepping

709
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: up into his place will be your tour. Gross Mottos

710
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: out of Penn State who last year as a and

711
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, he's draftwenty two years ago, second round pick,

712
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: only twelve pressures last year three and a half sacks.

713
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 1: The chances of turning pressures into sex in the NFL

714
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: is very rare. Just to give you like a comp

715
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: uh standpoint. You know, Burns had the nine sacks on

716
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: fifty one pressures, whereas basically one for every three of

717
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: gross Matos has went for a sack of some kind.

718
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: That's unlikely to be there. He struggles against the run.

719
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: He's only two sixty five, so this is not a

720
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: big defensive end room in terms of their ability to

721
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 1: hold up against the run. So that's something that I

722
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: would look for for the Browns to really attack them there. Um,

723
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 1: they got Derrek Brown in the middle, former first round

724
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 1: pick Matt Ionitis were they brought in as a free agent.

725
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: Who to go back to two thousand, eighteen and nineteen

726
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 1: from the interior when it's with Washington. He had sixteen

727
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: sacks in those two years. Injured in twenty last year

728
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of a down year, but in the

729
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 1: preseason certainly was making some moves. So it's a team

730
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 1: that is going to rely on its defense. It is

731
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,280
Speaker 1: a team that the Browns must be prepared for the blitz.

732
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: Last year they blitzed on all downs thirty seven percent,

733
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: fourth most in the NFL. They blitz fort of the

734
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: time on first down, fourth most in the NFL, and

735
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: fort of time on third down. So they are not

736
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: afraid to heat you up and to heat you up

737
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 1: on early downs. And for a Brown seam, you know

738
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: you have to be cognizant of that. When you run

739
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: a lot of your play action on first downs as

740
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: we do, we take a lot of time plays. Those

741
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: take time, and so you've got to be ready for

742
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: those blitz is That's something I think that will be

743
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,879
Speaker 1: an interesting part of the chess match in this one.

744
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: But strong defense, kind of unknown offense McAdoo first year

745
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: as the coordinator. What's that gonna look like. I think

746
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: they're gonna try to get the ball out of his

747
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 1: hands very very quickly, and the Browns are gonna be

748
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: ready for McCaffrey and d J. Moore. That's that's where

749
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: the ball is going to go more and than not.

750
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: And the interesting thing was in the preseason, seventy three

751
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: percent of Baker's targets were two running backs and tight ends,

752
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: not wide receivers. So he wasn't really going that, no doubt.

753
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 1: So that's something to keep an eye on here, DJ

754
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: Moore and that production and how that relationship goes as

755
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 1: we've seen some of the issues with wide receivers here

756
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,879
Speaker 1: in our building with with Baker. All right, a couple

757
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: of things as you were going through all of that,

758
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: because you know, you're always interested from a franchise construction standpoint,

759
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: where are you. This is a team that when Matt

760
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 1: Rule was hired, David Tepper, the owner buys Carolina his

761
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: his hires Matt Rule. It gives him he's the hot

762
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: coaching candidate at the moment. He's a Baylor at the time.

763
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 1: They'd come off a great season and a great run

764
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,399
Speaker 1: where he'd rebuilt built Baylor on the fly and made

765
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: him relevant very quickly. Gives him the keys to the

766
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: kingdom a lot of money in a way we go. Well,

767
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: the way that they built it was with defense through

768
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 1: the draft. I mean they would draft defensive line defensive

769
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:10,800
Speaker 1: players time and time again in the early parts of

770
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 1: these drafts to try to amplify what they already had offensively.

771
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 1: The next very clear path that they tried to do

772
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: was acquired to Shaun Watson. And this was two years ago.

773
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: They were in on Watson, all in on Watson. There

774
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: was a ton of whispers before Watson, you know, even

775
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 1: as he had first asked for the trade or there

776
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: was any sort of this was going in the last

777
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: season that Carolina was going to do everything it could.

778
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 1: They were rebuffed, so they pivot Sam Donald is who

779
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 1: it is, So they go Donald. That doesn't go well, right,

780
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: So they get through the end of this season and

781
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 1: what do they try to do again, Well, it's a

782
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 1: familiar tone. They go back for Deshaun Watson, all in

783
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 1: to get Deshaun Watson again. That doesn't work again, so

784
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: they draft Matt correlat enough to get trade up to

785
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 1: get Matt Correll out of Ole Miss and then go

786
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 1: get Baker Mayfield. All because they missed out on Watson twice. Now,

787
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 1: one thing happened in camp that anything is pretty interesting,

788
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 1: and I don't think that this should be that surprising

789
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: for people around here who enjoyed Baker. Baker had a

790
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 1: really good camp and he's a fun guy. To be

791
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 1: around when the going is good. And so the the

792
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: idea here is the the acquisite Baker coming in there

793
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: and being better than I think they thought that he

794
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 1: would be changed kind of their view of this season,

795
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: because before the Mayfield acquisition, this very clearly was a

796
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:25,959
Speaker 1: team that, even in an NFC that is wide open,

797
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,360
Speaker 1: they were not a playoff contender in any way. And

798
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 1: I don't think they fashioned themselves that way. It felt

799
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 1: like they were gonna play out this string, maybe move

800
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: off of Matt Rule, maybe go with Matt corral in

801
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 1: a year from now, who knows, or positioned themselves to

802
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: draft another quarterback next year. Baker changed that with the

803
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: way that he played in camp, and so that leads

804
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: them now to think, hey, with the break here or there,

805
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 1: and you're going through all of this, and they've got

806
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:48,879
Speaker 1: a lot of talent on defense, I've got some good

807
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:51,840
Speaker 1: weapons on offensive. McCaffrey can stay healthy. You can almost

808
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: talk yourself into this being a playoff team in the NFC,

809
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: which five days ago you would have said, no chance,

810
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,879
Speaker 1: no chance, and that right the NFC is wide open.

811
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 1: They do have some players of consequence on both sides

812
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: of the ball, and yeah, that's that's where they're at. Now.

813
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,879
Speaker 1: What's amazing too about the acquisition of Baker Mayfield, after

814
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,760
Speaker 1: the acquisition of Donald, after the failed acquisitions of Watson

815
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: and the acquisition Matt Correll, is that Donald's out six

816
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 1: weeks and Matt Crawl has done for the season. Yeah,

817
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 1: so it's Baker Mayfield and then p J. Walker is

818
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 1: the backup quarterback now for the Carolina Panthers. So it

819
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 1: ended up being very good fortune for them that they

820
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 1: even got Baker. Even Baker's mentality has changed dramatically. He

821
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 1: went from a placeholder to now maybe he could be

822
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: there three years. Who knows. I mean, Correl has a

823
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: it's a big injury for Matt Correll. Yeah, so who

824
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: knows what this could look like for him. So there's

825
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:48,280
Speaker 1: a sense of rejuvenation, rebirth, whatever, renaissance for everybody involved

826
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: in this thing down there. I still think they're really limited.

827
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: Um so you know, it's I fully expect us to win.

828
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 1: I know we're not the favorite right now, but I

829
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 1: will get to our picks later in the week. But um,

830
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: I just think it's fascinating how they've to pivot, by

831
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 1: my count, five times in a year in terms of

832
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: their strategy and their plan. Yeah, let's not forget Cam

833
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: Newton was back in there for a hot second because

834
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 1: they had injuries last year. He was Cam. I mean

835
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: it went from if Donald's healthy and Corrals not injured.

836
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: It's very like they always do that thing, who's the

837
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 1: first quarterback to get benched or whatever, not necessarily even

838
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:24,959
Speaker 1: because it would have been reproduction, just because you wanted

839
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: to see other people. Carolina absolutely would have been on

840
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 1: that list with Baker before. Now they're not because there's

841
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 1: nowhere else. He's still like fourth, which is like short

842
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: thoughts are not being p J. Walker. There's nothing to

843
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 1: see there. No, No, it's a ridiculous. It's ridiculous. Number one.

844
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 1: I think it's true Whisky. It's like Trabisky is one

845
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 1: Mariota because of Ritter Mariota. Right, um Tannehill's even on

846
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: the list. Well, I can see that because the um

847
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: malik uh is very exciting the Preseasonleek Willis Milik Willis, Yeah,

848
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:00,359
Speaker 1: blanket on him that he would be a guy who

849
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 1: could get in there. There's not many of those situations

850
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 1: out there. I would imagine like at the Nation, the

851
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: Nation's smiling, striding of course, always in good mood. That

852
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 1: guy always a nice stride, nice dancing, little dance. What

853
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 1: a win? Does he think? Does he know we can

854
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 1: still see himor do you think he had gotten around

855
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 1: the corner? I think he thought he got around the corner.

856
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: I think he doesn't realize the angle there. He is. Yes, yes,

857
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: very good, very good. The meeting of the all the

858
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: meetings of the minds. The best are very best. People

859
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 1: are very best people. Du out Yeah, absolutely, pause up Drew,

860
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 1: It's all coming soon. Yeah. So it's a It is

861
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: a fun game. The Baker aspect to it takes it

862
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 1: to an eleven go ahead. One interesting thing to note,

863
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: and you know we talked about the three phases of

864
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:47,839
Speaker 1: the game, is that this is a team that brought

865
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 1: in Andre Roberts, who's a multiple time Pro Bowl returner

866
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 1: and All Pro returner. Um, they signed Johnny Hecker, who

867
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 1: was considered by many to be the best punter in

868
00:45:57,719 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 1: the game. And also some of you absolutely have to

869
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 1: watch shout for in fake punt situations. That's what he's

870
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 1: done so well with the rams for all of those years.

871
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 1: So that's those are a couple of guys you got

872
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:08,919
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on there. They did have Zane

873
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,320
Speaker 1: Gonzalez their kicker. He got hurt in the preseason, so

874
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:15,839
Speaker 1: Zane Gonzalez is out for them as the kicker right now.

875
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 1: So just again, that's kind of where it looks. That's

876
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 1: how it looks for the Carolina Panthers, a team that

877
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: right does have a little bit of hope. But the

878
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:28,360
Speaker 1: truth of the matter is they downgraded their pass rush significantly.

879
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 1: Reddick for yourtar Gross Mottos is a significant downgrade. They

880
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 1: are healthier on the back end, which is good. They

881
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 1: were not a great run defense last year, and I

882
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 1: think that's where the Browns are going to attack them. Burns,

883
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 1: they are undersized at the defensive end position, and so

884
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 1: I think that's where in our wide zone scheme we

885
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:45,839
Speaker 1: are going to try to attack them at the edges

886
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 1: and punish those smaller defensive ends. You ought to be

887
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 1: able to maul them in both lines of scrimmage. I

888
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 1: don't know how they're gonna block Miles and yes Jadivian,

889
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,759
Speaker 1: and I don't know how they're not going to be

890
00:46:57,840 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 1: blocked by our offensive line in the ground game. So

891
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 1: that's that's the roadmap, uh, And honestly, it'll probably be

892
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 1: a familiar one as we continue on. Coming up here

893
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,240
Speaker 1: in the second hour, the program will go around the league.

894
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: Big news out of Chicago with their stadium building and

895
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 1: what could be being done there. We could have a

896
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 1: different starter that we anticipated week two against the Jets.

897
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 1: We'll get to that. Jacoby present at the top of

907

Speaker 1: and get out to a fast start, uh you know.

910
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,359
Speaker 1: And and this is our first one, so we gotta

Speaker 1: to go. U. I think everybody emotions will be high

913
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 1: because it is the first game of the season. Uh,

914
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:09,920
Speaker 1: we got do a really good job of controling hours

915
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 1: and and sticking to our fundamentals and technique and playing

916
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 1: goo football. There is a lot of buzz obviously, you

917
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:16,880
Speaker 1: know versus Major and all that kind of stuff. Formable

918
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: can you playing and doing what you're just talking about

919
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 1: and kind of keeping those emotions containing. I think it's

920
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: the Browns first, the Panthers um and that's just what

921
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:27,760
Speaker 1: it is. You know, it's it's nameless face its opponents.

922
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 1: It's been kind of a unique training camp for you guys. Uh.

923
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 1: You know, you only started getting first team reps in

Speaker 1: about you know you want to you still feel like

937
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 1: you have more to grow under your offense. How do

938
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 1: you feel like you you have these last couple of weeks.

939
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 1: I think I've grown, but still more room for improvement.

940
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 1: Obviously a new week, a new opponent, Uh, that present

941
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 1: different um, No, problems and things that we have to

942
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 1: take care of, so um looking forward to it. How

943
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:28,879
Speaker 1: do you go about the current for the defense? Where

944
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 1: it's week one, not a lot of preseason take to

945
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:35,359
Speaker 1: really be able to have dissect and and glean from.

946
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,880
Speaker 1: So it's just how do you prepare for Carolina's defense?

947
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:41,839
Speaker 1: But with limited uh, you know, just trusting our rules? Uh,

948
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:43,800
Speaker 1: you know obviously like you said, I mean it's limited,

949
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 1: but it's still something out there. Uh and uh and

950
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 1: just going to play good football, making sure that you

951
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:52,320
Speaker 1: know more than I know what they're doing, I know

952
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 1: what we're doing and why we're doing it. Uh, and

953
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 1: then go from there challenges. I mean, there's a good defense.

954
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:00,840
Speaker 1: Uh No, I gotta got a lot of good players.

955
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,239
Speaker 1: Obviously getting j C back helped them a lot. Um.

956
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:06,359
Speaker 1: You know, and shacks will be out there, so uh,

957
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 1: you know, they present a lot of problems. But now

958
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 1: I think we're out for a test day. How do

959
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 1: you find your center? What any ways do you do

960
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:16,319
Speaker 1: throughout the day to get grounded? I thought you were

961
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 1: talking about the actual center outside just to kind of

962
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 1: calm everything and take in the moment. And I want

963
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 1: to become bigger than it is. I think it comes

964
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 1: with preparations throughout the week. Uh. And uh, look, I

965
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: mean we're all gonna have those emotions kick off. I

966
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,959
Speaker 1: mean that's every game, that's probably every player, uh, because

967
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 1: we have a post. Uh. But I mean it comes

968
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 1: with the preparation throughout the week. Uh you know, and

969
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 1: we'll figure that out when we get to that point.

970
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 1: But you know today, it starts with today, either career

971
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 1: or specifically or is there something that you really have

972
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 1: decided to see if if I do this or something

973
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 1: beforeever in this game? Is there anything like that? I'm

974
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,319
Speaker 1: more more so if I would just be myself. Uh,

975
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 1: if I can take care of myself and and and

976
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:01,360
Speaker 1: do my job been putting the guys in the right position,

977
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:05,800
Speaker 1: um and understanding our plan. Uh, then I'll come to

978
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:11,400
Speaker 1: take other so chatter, noise trying to this game, or

979
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:14,839
Speaker 1: rivals pre game, all that sort of stuff. So how

980
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 1: would you manager or handle just all that the Baker stuff.

981
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:21,239
Speaker 1: I wasn't here with him last year, so I don't

982
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 1: care really during the you know, pre game or during

983
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 1: the game. And do you feel like you won't have

984
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 1: a very hard time kind of blocking into the jacovid?

985
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 1: You wish you had more preseason game matching. Uh, Like

986
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:37,359
Speaker 1: I said, Uh, previously, I mean we we we've had

987
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 1: a plan together. Uh. And I think our training camp

988
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: practices reflected our plan. Uh. And like I said, I'm

989
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: looking for the opportunity. Uh. Got another good week of

990
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:50,839
Speaker 1: preparation coming up, and and when someday gets here, we'll

991
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:53,719
Speaker 1: we'll be ready to go quarterback. If you were playing

992
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:56,239
Speaker 1: in your former teams, do you think that would give

993
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 1: you a distinct advantage knowing the whole the offensive and

994
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 1: defense a system. I don't know. I mean, I don't

995
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 1: know what's going through and say it right now, I

996
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 1: mean I can only speak for myself, and it's just

997
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 1: say I'm go out there and be prepared to be

998
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 1: ready at Jacobley. I know you guys always say when

999
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:16,800
Speaker 1: you got the bag of y'allways prepared like you're a start,

1000
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:20,279
Speaker 1: but it hasn't. Is there any different since you knew

1001
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 1: when you were signed in March then you would be

1002
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback in this game? So what's the question then?

1003
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 1: As you always say backups and say this story, Uh no,

1004
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 1: it's no no difference. I mean you just prepare, you know,

1005
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 1: when they when they come and put the game plan in? Again,

1006
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 1: how much input do you have? Do they come to

1007
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:48,760
Speaker 1: you and say what do you like here? You know? Definitely,

1008
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:52,399
Speaker 1: I mean we we've obviously been building up this, uh

1009
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,719
Speaker 1: you know, this many of place to see what I

1010
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 1: like in and me because obviously if I mean if

1011
00:52:58,239 --> 00:52:59,800
Speaker 1: I can't run it, and other players not just me,

1012
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:01,880
Speaker 1: other players can't run the players things, we won't run them.

1013
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 1: Uh So I think Kevin is doing a good job

1014
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 1: of of of listening to those opinions. Obviously, it's some

1015
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:08,400
Speaker 1: places where you guys say, hey, you know what I mean,

1016
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 1: you gotta learn it, but uh, you know, as the

1017
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 1: week progressis that's how more comfortable you get with plays.

1018
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 1: So um so, yeah, you've been through this experience before

1019
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 1: taking over a new team to starting your earlier year

1020
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 1: is there anything unique want to experience so far? Uh,

1021
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 1: it's the one that I have today. Um, that's the

1022
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 1: most unique thing about it. That's all I can, you know,

1023
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:35,360
Speaker 1: really think about. It is just going out there and

1024
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 1: just doing my best. What kind of luxuries it him.

1025
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:42,360
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see him play. Uh, you know, obviously

1026
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,320
Speaker 1: been played against the Browns a couple of times, but

1027
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:47,799
Speaker 1: I've been on the opposing side of it, so um,

1028
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:50,000
Speaker 1: you know, it's a it's a good feeling when they're

1029
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:51,719
Speaker 1: back there. So I just I'm excited to watch him play.

1030
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 1: How dangerous playing Kareem be as a receiver? It seems

1031
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 1: like that one that's kind of that a little talk.

1032
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 1: I mean, well, you know, not like you you know,

1033
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:06,160
Speaker 1: just seems like he's he could break on any kind

1034
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 1: I mean, Kareem is a good player. You know, they're

1035
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:12,920
Speaker 1: very fortunate to to have him on this on this

1036
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 1: offense and be a part of this. Uh. You know,

1037
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 1: like I said, I'm looking forward to watching them play,

1038
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 1: and you know, he presents a lot of different problems. Uh,

1039
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:23,800
Speaker 1: so you know, I'm excited motivating at all. It seems

1040
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:27,719
Speaker 1: like maybe nationally and even locally, people seem to have

1041
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:32,319
Speaker 1: dialed back the expectations for the team with DeShawn out

1042
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:34,879
Speaker 1: running games and does that light kind of extra fire.

1043
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 1: I haven't heard anything, so I don't really care to

1044
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 1: be honest. Sorry, you make a point of not caring. Yeah, yeah,

1045
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:55,440
Speaker 1: relationship with ourselves, communication. I have not talked to him,

1046
00:54:55,440 --> 00:55:00,840
Speaker 1: miss who get if you? So you listen to Jacoby

1047
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 1: there it's he's so ready for this and so prepared

1048
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 1: for this. You think of the hot buttons he's been

1049
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 1: in already with Brady and Luck and now he is

1050
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:14,839
Speaker 1: absolutely prepared for this. He's a pro in every way,

1051
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 1: shape or form um. Yeah, yes, that's exactly right. Yes

1052
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 1: he is. He is ready. He is not, no matter

1053
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 1: how badly there are people that want him to get

1054
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 1: fired up about the drama of a quarterback that he

1055
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:36,800
Speaker 1: never shared a locker room with. He's not going to

1056
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:38,959
Speaker 1: do it. He is going to be ready to play.

1057
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:41,840
Speaker 1: They will have a game plan put in place that

1058
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:44,120
Speaker 1: I think will be very, very good. They're going to

1059
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:47,360
Speaker 1: try to get after you know, these linebackers in coverage.

1060
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 1: They're gonna try to run the ball at these defensive

1061
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:52,120
Speaker 1: ends who, as we talked about earlier, a little light

1062
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 1: to be true for three defensive ends. But that also

1063
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 1: helps to make them be very effective, you know, in

1064
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 1: their ability to get after the quarterback. But that's what

1065
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna do. I mean, this is not to me.

1066
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: This is not a big deal. This is not a

1067
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 1: game that where it's gonna be too big for him.

1068
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:12,439
Speaker 1: This is not a situation where you know you're looking

1069
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 1: at and saying, oh, man, is he gonna be okay? Yeah,

1070
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:18,880
Speaker 1: he's gonna be just fine. This is a guy that

1071
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:22,840
Speaker 1: is considered to be one of the better backup quarterbacks

1072
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 1: in the NFL. And he is that for a reason,

1073
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: and the Browns have brought him in here to make

1074
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 1: sure that he can do that. And so that's that's

1075
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 1: the stated goal. That's what they're gonna try to do here.

1076
00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 1: It is Yeah, I think the demeanor is perfect for it,

1077
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 1: and the professionalism is perfect for it. And I think

1078
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 1: that you know, we talked about this a little bit

1079
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:44,280
Speaker 1: in the when we were talking a little bit about Carolina.

1080
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:46,879
Speaker 1: We've talked you and I talked about it this morning. Um,

1081
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 1: he he is. The layups are layups and that's He'll

1082
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:51,840
Speaker 1: continue to do that and he's not gonna put you

1083
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:55,359
Speaker 1: in a bad spot so is the armed talent such

1084
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:57,920
Speaker 1: of of DeShawn No, that's not what it is. He's

1085
00:56:57,960 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 1: not the type of player, does he He's not a

1086
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:01,800
Speaker 1: tough quarterback in the league. But what he is is

1087
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 1: somebody who can manage things, who can take what's given

1088
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 1: to him. If you think of Keenham last year and

1089
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:08,919
Speaker 1: even Baker when he's been at his best. He doesn't

1090
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:11,239
Speaker 1: have the arm talent of Baker obviously, but um in

1091
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:13,840
Speaker 1: terms of at his best, seeing things open, letting the

1092
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 1: ball go, Jacoby Prisett can do that. And I think

1093
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 1: his personality really is a great fit for this team

1094
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 1: through these first there's a calming. He's got a calming.

1095
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 1: He's the shaman. That's what they do, the shaman. So

1096
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 1: I think that they feel very comfortable with these things.

1097
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 1: And look, this is gonna be a very smartly designed

1098
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:36,240
Speaker 1: game plan. Like if you're looking at the three corners

1099
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:40,000
Speaker 1: for the Panthers, the guy you're gonna go after C. J. Henderson.

1100
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 1: While he was the first round pick at top ten pick,

1101
00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 1: for his career, he's given up sevent completions. He's getting

1102
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 1: in up quarterback rating of a dred and twenty against

1103
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 1: so J. C. Horne, on the other hand, was dominant

1104
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 1: before he got hurt. Last year he only have one

1105
00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:56,479
Speaker 1: catch and he had a pick, so he was pretty

1106
00:57:56,560 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 1: darn good. But this is gonna be a smartly design

1107
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:02,840
Speaker 1: game plan that is going to accentuate the strengths of

1108
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:07,600
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette minimize whatever deficiencies there maybe, and that's how

1109
00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 1: they're going to go about it. If they are able

1110
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:12,960
Speaker 1: to control the time of possession, control the clock, control

1111
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 1: the turnover battle, which is what Jacoby, they're gonna win

1112
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:19,920
Speaker 1: like they're gonna win. I know that this is not

1113
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 1: the same Panthers seam as a year ago, but to me,

1114
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 1: this is one of the craziest stats that I've maybe

1115
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:27,400
Speaker 1: ever seen. And in getting ready for one of these games,

1116
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:31,960
Speaker 1: all right, last year Carolina five and oh when they

1117
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 1: allowed fewer than fifteen points if their opponent made it

1118
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:40,040
Speaker 1: to fifteen points against them. Last year they were and

1119
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:44,160
Speaker 1: twelve only winless team in such games in the NFL.

1120
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 1: Low threshold too extremely low, Yes, so put some points

1121
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:53,120
Speaker 1: on the board we get into the twenties. I feel

1122
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 1: very good about our abilities to win this game. Brown's

1142
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 1: be hosting the Jets in our home opener Week two.

1143
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 1: It will not be Zach Wilson. In fact, he will

1144
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 1: miss the first four weeks or first three weeks of

1145
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 1: the season, um, including our game here. Robert Slow the

1146
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 1: Jets said coach breaking that today that Joe Flacco would

1147
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 1: get the start Sunday, that's against Baltimore, I believe, and

1148
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:34,880
Speaker 1: then um, he would start Game two, which would be here.

1149
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:37,360
Speaker 1: So it's a big blow to the Jets. I think

1150
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:40,200
Speaker 1: hopes and chances and and we're optimistic that maybe Zack

1151
01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 1: Wilson would get to play, but there was also at

1152
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 1: the time of the injury fear that he was going

1153
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 1: to be done for the year. So but not maybe

1154
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:49,040
Speaker 1: as soon as some hoped. And I want to say

1155
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:51,320
Speaker 1: it happened against the Eagles because I was remember watching

1156
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:53,280
Speaker 1: that getting ready for that preseason game where he just

1157
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 1: kind of ran in his knee kind of gave out.

1158
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:59,480
Speaker 1: And I think ultimately they are there pleased with that. So, um,

1159
01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco's guy they think they can win a few

1160
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:05,400
Speaker 1: games with. For the Browns will be a very familiar

1161
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 1: quarterback opponent, not to this staff as he's been long

1162
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:11,640
Speaker 1: gone from Baltimore for quite some time. Um, but that's

1163
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:14,880
Speaker 1: the Browns are gonna be facing three quarterbacks who are

1164
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 1: not the opening day starters for their franchises a year

1165
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 1: ago in the first three weeks, and I would go

1166
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:22,880
Speaker 1: so far as ay in the first four weeks, not

1167
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:24,960
Speaker 1: until Justin Herbert in week five, and we play a

1168
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:26,880
Speaker 1: guy who opened the season as the starter last year

1169
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:29,120
Speaker 1: because week one is Baker, Week two is now gonna

1170
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:32,480
Speaker 1: be Joe Flacco, Week three with the Steelers as Mitch Business,

1171
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:35,760
Speaker 1: and week four will be Marcus Mariota in Atlanta. That's

1172
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:39,720
Speaker 1: pretty wild. Yeah, no continuity until Justin Herbert week five.

1173
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 1: So Flacco wins the Super Bowl in two thousand and

1174
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:48,920
Speaker 1: twelve in New Orleans, um, and that is that was

1175
01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 1: when he got paid. And at that point that year

1176
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:53,800
Speaker 1: they had gone ten and six or was that the

1177
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:55,800
Speaker 1: twelve they went twelve and four, ten and six, couple

1178
01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:57,680
Speaker 1: of twelve and fours in a tenant six. It was twelve,

1179
01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:02,240
Speaker 1: wasn't it twelve and four? Two twelve season when they

1180
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:03,960
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl And they played down in New

1181
01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:07,440
Speaker 1: Orleans against San Francisco and the kid broke his leg.

1182
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:10,760
Speaker 1: So that's two twelve seasons. Super Bowl in two thousand

1183
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 1: because after that he got money because Dion was on

1184
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 1: the NFL postgame show and said time to pay this man,

1185
01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 1: and that kind of created all. He bet on himself

1186
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 1: as big as can be and then goes and has

1187
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:28,240
Speaker 1: I think the greatest playoff run in quarterback history. From

1188
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:31,440
Speaker 1: a statistical standpoint anyway, it was I'm looking at what

1189
01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 1: your super Bowl champion? Yes, two twelve season, right now,

1190
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:42,000
Speaker 1: it would have been, yeah, two twelve season. He gets

1191
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:44,360
Speaker 1: paid and in that playoffs I'm trying to pull it

1192
01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 1: up real quickly here. He was ridiculous in that playoffs.

1193
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:50,000
Speaker 1: He didn't throw an interception. I remember that, and don't

1194
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:53,960
Speaker 1: forget they were almost out had it not been for

1195
01:02:55,840 --> 01:03:02,040
Speaker 1: Raheem Moore misses that ball that he throws over. Yeah,

1196
01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:05,600
Speaker 1: so he goes four oh. He throws for eleven forty yards,

1197
01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:07,680
Speaker 1: eleven touchdowns, no picks, and a quarterback rating of a

1198
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:10,439
Speaker 1: D eighteen in that playoff run. Eleven touched on snow picks.

1199
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:16,680
Speaker 1: That's like Montana esque. So they go. Is Manning already

1200
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:18,600
Speaker 1: on Denver at this point, because they played both the

1201
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:21,080
Speaker 1: Colts and the Broncos in the playoffs, I would say

1202
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:23,680
Speaker 1: that he's not that he's in here. He's an indie.

1203
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:29,280
Speaker 1: He's an indie at that time. Is that tebow? No

1204
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:31,440
Speaker 1: tebow was the year that they beat the Steelers for

1205
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:34,400
Speaker 1: one second in the playoffs. No. Twelve was Manning was

1206
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 1: first year. Okay, so his first year, he wins the

1207
01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 1: m v P and they lose. They were ahead, and

1208
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:41,640
Speaker 1: remember they all they had to do was not let

1209
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 1: him throw like basically kind of a hell Mary unless

1210
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:47,120
Speaker 1: he more missing. It really kind of derailed his career,

1211
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:51,000
Speaker 1: it did. Yeah, that's it. Yep. So they go in, Yes,

1212
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:54,240
Speaker 1: so they Andrew Luck went eleven and six his rookie

1213
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:57,560
Speaker 1: year in Indie. So they beat He beats Luck, Manning,

1214
01:03:57,960 --> 01:04:01,480
Speaker 1: Brady and then Kaepernick and forty Niners in the Super Bowl,

1215
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:03,520
Speaker 1: And at that point was the ultimate weapon. Like nobody

1216
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:05,480
Speaker 1: knew what to do with Cap. That was his first year.

1217
01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:07,280
Speaker 1: It just kind of starting. He took it halfway through

1218
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:10,280
Speaker 1: the year and nobody knew how to handle him, and

1219
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 1: then they won that game. By the way, Peyton responded

1220
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:15,720
Speaker 1: responded to that in two thousand thirteen by throwing for

1221
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:19,680
Speaker 1: fifty five yards and fifty five touchdowns. Was that good?

1222
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:21,840
Speaker 1: Is that? I think it seems pretty good for you

1223
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:24,680
Speaker 1: in sixteen games. It feels like a ten interceptions in

1224
01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:34,240
Speaker 1: keeping scored udown tags to ten. That is that's absurd. Yeah, yeah,

1225
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:38,160
Speaker 1: that very much is. Alright. Emmanuel Sanders announces his retirement

1226

Speaker 1: Making intensive return interesting that he retires as a Denver Bronco.

1231
01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:55,080
Speaker 1: He wanted to do that, and he was a part

1232
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 1: of obviously very good Denver Broncos teams. He was part

1233
01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:00,840
Speaker 1: of very good uh Buffalo Bill teams. He was part

1234

1235
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:06,600
Speaker 1: was with Pittsburgh to start his career. His best three

1236
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:09,680
Speaker 1: year stretch, though, came in Denver, three straight thousand yard seasons,

1239
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:20,240
Speaker 1: D four and nine. Pretty good, by the way, Jeremy

Speaker 1: ends Gronkowski and Jack Doyle, Andrew Whitworth, Brandon Brooks, Alex

1244
01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:47,600
Speaker 1: mac j C. Treader, good defensive line, Ellie Marpet, Mitchell Schwartz,

1245
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:52,160
Speaker 1: Al Villanueva and Richie Incognito. Really good offensive line that's

1246
01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:55,360
Speaker 1: incredible on the offensive line. On the defense, the defensive

1247
01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:59,919
Speaker 1: line is Ryan Kerrigan, Whitney, Marcelis Stefan, Tooitt, Derek Wolf

1248
01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:06,960
Speaker 1: and Jack Crawford. Offensive linebackers Craig Robertson, kJ Wright, defensive

1249
01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:11,880
Speaker 1: tacks Malcolm Jenkins, Eric Wentle, Ricardo Allen, Jason mccordy buster

1250
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:16,160
Speaker 1: offensive line stunning And at this point you got to

1251
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:19,000
Speaker 1: wonder about Joe Hayden right, Yeah, which is stunning to

1252
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:22,200
Speaker 1: me that he is not on an NFL team. That is,

1253
01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:24,640
Speaker 1: it's a heck of a group of people that have

1254
01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:27,640
Speaker 1: retired in the last eight months. Well, the Sanders thing too,

1255
01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:29,680
Speaker 1: like we had you'd heard word that he was just

1256
01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:32,760
Speaker 1: wasn't maybe interesting playing right, and so that that was

1257
01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:35,280
Speaker 1: backed up. If the preseason and the education, legal contact

1258
01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:37,680
Speaker 1: penalties are gonna go way up this year. NFL officials

1259
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:40,280
Speaker 1: called twenty two illegal contact penalties during the preseason up

1260
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:43,000
Speaker 1: from seven. Usually they do this just to set a

1261
01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:45,200
Speaker 1: tone and then they chill out this according to Mark

1262
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:48,440
Speaker 1: Maski of Washington Post, there you go on that. I

1263
01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:51,000
Speaker 1: expect that to be chilled out, and that's something that yes,

1264
01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:56,160
Speaker 1: it is a point of emphasis, but for the purposes

1265
01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:58,880
Speaker 1: of regular season games, they do not want the field

1266
01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:03,520
Speaker 1: littered with laundry. And so that is something that that

1267
01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:06,760
Speaker 1: I think will be on par with what it has

1268
01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:08,800
Speaker 1: been in the past. And now the NFL will make

1269
01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:10,840
Speaker 1: a legal contact a point of emphasis for the officials

1270
01:07:10,880 --> 01:07:13,720
Speaker 1: during the offseason training. The officials listen calling up in

1271
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:17,080
Speaker 1: fifteen illegal contact penalties during we see preseason week. Once

1272
01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:19,440
Speaker 1: that goes to your point, league officiating office may have

1273
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:21,520
Speaker 1: to hold rest to tamp down the illegal contact calls.

1274
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:23,720
Speaker 1: After that, it's calls declined in the second and third Yes,

1275
01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:25,960
Speaker 1: that's the way that that goes. I want to ask

1276
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:27,800
Speaker 1: over one other thing with you. Did you see the

1277
01:07:27,840 --> 01:07:30,080
Speaker 1: plans on what the Bears are trying to do in Chicago?

1278
01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:34,240
Speaker 1: So doing a domed stadium. It's in Arlington Heights. It's

1279
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:38,720
Speaker 1: about forty minutes from downtown Chicago. UM is where the

1280
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:42,920
Speaker 1: location is. It's in the old Arlington Racetrack area is

1281
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:45,880
Speaker 1: the land that was purchased. Um they released the plans

1282
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:47,800
Speaker 1: for it yesterday. It looked like an ice cube. I

1283
01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:49,600
Speaker 1: don't know that that stadium is what it's gonna look like.

1284
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:51,320
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a dome stadium is what they're gonna do.

1285
01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:53,560
Speaker 1: They could do it as soon as six They could

1286
01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:57,880
Speaker 1: get out of Soldier Field, as soon as Soldier Field

1287
01:07:57,960 --> 01:08:01,360
Speaker 1: was renovated. In It's terrible two thousand ish, remember the

1288
01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:03,919
Speaker 1: Bears played in Illinois for a couple of years, living

1289
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:06,880
Speaker 1: in Illinois and covering the Bears in Champagne two thousand one,

1290
01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:11,600
Speaker 1: And it just comes down to it's very similar to

1291
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:14,720
Speaker 1: the situation that Ohio States in with the Horseshoe. You know,

1292
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:18,519
Speaker 1: it's an old building and Soldier Fields of historical landmarks.

1293
01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:21,000
Speaker 1: You can't do anything to the structure. So they tried

1294
01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:23,360
Speaker 1: to land a spaceship in it and it didn't take.

1295
01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:26,080
Speaker 1: And it's still an old structure underneath it, so there's

1296
01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:30,439
Speaker 1: not what you can do with And everything is a hike.

1297
01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:36,479
Speaker 1: Everything is a walk. That building on the outside with

1298
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:38,800
Speaker 1: the columns and all that is cool, and then you

1299
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:42,120
Speaker 1: go inside and you're like, what the hell happened. I

1300
01:08:42,160 --> 01:08:43,559
Speaker 1: don't know what they were thinking. I don't know. They

1301
01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:45,080
Speaker 1: didn't need to do anything. You didn't need to put

1302
01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:47,439
Speaker 1: a half of a spaceship on it like that. Outside

1303
01:08:47,560 --> 01:08:49,880
Speaker 1: is sweet when you come up to Soldier Field, it

1304
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:54,160
Speaker 1: is sweet, sure it is. And then inside it's like huh.

1305
01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:57,960
Speaker 1: And if I'm not mistaken, the radio booth is like

1306
01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:02,479
Speaker 1: in the corner. No, no, no, it's not in the corner,

1307
01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:06,920
Speaker 1: but it is literally in the lower bowl there's a roof.

1308
01:09:07,400 --> 01:09:10,920
Speaker 1: If the ball is kicked too high, you can from

1309
01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:14,080
Speaker 1: a kick upon field goal, whatever the case might be.

1310
01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:18,320
Speaker 1: If I open the door, I can buy a beer

1311
01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:20,760
Speaker 1: or a hot dog from a vendor literally walking right

1312
01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:24,360
Speaker 1: down the hallway to the stands. So by it from

1313
01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:29,920
Speaker 1: the standard. If they pull this off, If they pull

1314
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:33,040
Speaker 1: this off, it will leave just in terms of northern

1315
01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:36,240
Speaker 1: cities that and I'm going to add this part of it.

1316
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:39,320
Speaker 1: Northern cities with an ability to in the infrastructure to

1317
01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:44,080
Speaker 1: host events be pretty limited because Green Bay, but that

1318
01:09:44,479 --> 01:09:47,840
Speaker 1: you're not hosting Final fours and Super Bowls and stuff

1319
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:50,479
Speaker 1: like that in Green Bay. Same with Buffalo. Their new

1320
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:52,280
Speaker 1: stadium is going to be open air, so you'd have

1321
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:59,000
Speaker 1: the two in Pennsylvania, the Jersey Stadium, Foxborough, US. That's

1322
01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:03,840
Speaker 1: it up here. They do. They make a lot of sense,

1323
01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:06,559
Speaker 1: it turns out, and they make a lot of sense

1324
01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 1: as well. See where you're going there. If you have

1325
01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:13,840
Speaker 1: it private, if you have a city that has the

1326
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:16,840
Speaker 1: ability in the infrastructure to host to host things other

1327
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:21,680
Speaker 1: than nine football games, then that's what you do. That's

1328
01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:24,400
Speaker 1: what you do, right and the Bears are gonna do it.

1329
01:10:24,479 --> 01:10:28,320
Speaker 1: And Chicago hasn't been a player ever for any of

1330
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:30,880
Speaker 1: that stuff. Think about it. I don't even know. Is

1331
01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:33,599
Speaker 1: it still the third largest city in the country. It has,

1332
01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:35,640
Speaker 1: it was forever, but I know Houston was gaining on

1333
01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:38,519
Speaker 1: it quickly. Um it feels like the population shift south

1334
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:41,400
Speaker 1: is only continuing. Um, My hunches, it's still the third

1335
01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:44,559
Speaker 1: largest because it had a large lead on Houston. Last

1336
01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:46,000
Speaker 1: time I looked at these type of things, there was

1337
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:49,280
Speaker 1: always the number three market. Um, but they haven't had

1338
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:54,000
Speaker 1: Super Bowl's final fours, WrestleMania's that type of stuff in Chicago.

1339
01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:58,200
Speaker 1: Chicago still is the number three. What's the margin on that?

1340
01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:02,679
Speaker 1: New York one point six l a to four million,

1341
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:06,639
Speaker 1: Chicago three two point six, Houston four two point four

1342
01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:09,559
Speaker 1: it's right there. She got two point seven, two point seven,

1343
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:13,400
Speaker 1: Houston two point four, Phoenix one point seven, Philly one

1344
01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:17,479
Speaker 1: point six, San Antonio seventh, one point six, San Diego

1345
01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:20,040
Speaker 1: one point five, Dallas one point four, and then San

1346
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:27,680
Speaker 1: Jose one million. What not have had San Jose boomtown though, right, So,

1347
01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:29,880
Speaker 1: the one thing that's a little deceiving there is that's

1348
01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:33,760
Speaker 1: city proper. I think metro areas. It's still third on

1349
01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:36,040
Speaker 1: that too, and it's actually more sizeable, but they have

1350
01:11:36,200 --> 01:11:40,040
Speaker 1: lost population. Um, they're at nine point six on the Metro.

1351
01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:43,040
Speaker 1: Dallas is fourth, Houston is fifth, Dallas seven point six,

1352
01:11:43,640 --> 01:11:46,600
Speaker 1: New York, New Jersey is twenty in l a Is thirteen. No,

1353
01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:48,560
Speaker 1: that's on the Metro. That's on the Metro, which I

1354
01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:51,400
Speaker 1: think is the number that's the one because it's city

1355
01:11:51,479 --> 01:11:53,519
Speaker 1: lines and city proper is always different. But it's a

1356
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:56,800
Speaker 1: game changer for Chicago. It was interesting though they kept

1357
01:11:56,840 --> 01:12:02,800
Speaker 1: saying throughout their announcement, this by no means says that

1358
01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:06,120
Speaker 1: we're doing this yet, like they're basically putting the onus

1359
01:12:06,439 --> 01:12:10,880
Speaker 1: on the that that property and the people that are

1360
01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:13,960
Speaker 1: maintaining it, putting it on the people in Arlington Heights

1361
01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:17,679
Speaker 1: to infrastructure. We want to do it, but we'll build

1362
01:12:17,720 --> 01:12:21,200
Speaker 1: the stadium. But you're gonna you're gonna build the infrastructure

1363
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:23,920
Speaker 1: with your tax dollars. We're gonna pay. So the way

1364
01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:26,360
Speaker 1: that they're doing it is because everybody hates the optics

1365
01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:29,280
Speaker 1: of wealthy owners asking for tax money to build stadiums.

1366
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:31,880
Speaker 1: So what they're saying is, fine, we'll take care of

1367
01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:35,120
Speaker 1: the building, you build the rest of it. That's the

1368
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:38,320
Speaker 1: sales pitch. The problem is it's probably untenable for them

1369
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:41,040
Speaker 1: to stay in downtown either way. I saw the mayor

1370
01:12:41,080 --> 01:12:43,519
Speaker 1: of Chicago uh last week said, well, what if we

1371
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:47,040
Speaker 1: put a dome on Soldier Field. That's not solving it. Man,

1372
01:12:47,760 --> 01:12:52,120
Speaker 1: It's getting worse. Stadium look like they put a dome

1373
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:55,040
Speaker 1: on top all that. Yeah, and it's still an old building,

1374
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:57,920
Speaker 1: you know, the guts of it are an old, old building.

1375
01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:01,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, anyway out. That was fascinating in terms of

1376
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:05,240
Speaker 1: where that when they were in town, like Jeff Joni

1377
01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:07,320
Speaker 1: X stopped by the boot, the play by playboards, the

1378
01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:10,360
Speaker 1: Bears who grew up here, a couple other people from

1379
01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:14,200
Speaker 1: their radio team and whatnot, and every single person is like, yes,

1380
01:13:14,680 --> 01:13:18,439
Speaker 1: please move, like move us to the suburbs, like, let's

1381
01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:21,320
Speaker 1: get out of downtown Chicago. And it's one of those

1382
01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:23,679
Speaker 1: things where if you're not from there or you don't

1383
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:25,799
Speaker 1: have any vested in it, you're like, oh, the Monsters

1384
01:13:25,840 --> 01:13:27,800
Speaker 1: of the Midway, they gotta play on Michigan Avenue, they

1385
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:29,920
Speaker 1: gotta play downtown on the Lake. But if you're someone

1386
01:13:29,960 --> 01:13:31,720
Speaker 1: who has to go to those games, you're saying, why

1387
01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:39,040
Speaker 1: why am I n It was like the train, like

1388
01:13:39,200 --> 01:13:42,640
Speaker 1: you still had to walk a mile if you like,

1389
01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:45,200
Speaker 1: I haven't been to a game there in twenty years,

1390
01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:46,800
Speaker 1: but the last time it was it was the old

1391
01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:49,479
Speaker 1: Soldier Field without spaceship, and it was cool, but it

1392
01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:52,920
Speaker 1: was still brutal, like getting in there, the walk, all

1393
01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:55,960
Speaker 1: of it no good. Uh. Don't miss The Brown's previous

1409
01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:56,120
Speaker 1: a lot of turnover, there's been one constant, Charlie Hewlett

1410
01:14:56,160 --> 01:14:59,080
Speaker 1: my guest right now, our long snapper. Eight straight seasons

1411
01:14:59,160 --> 01:15:02,200
Speaker 1: here with the Browns. Has it gone by in a blink? Like?

1412
01:15:02,320 --> 01:15:06,000
Speaker 1: Is it crazy to hear that out loud? Um, I'd

1413
01:15:06,040 --> 01:15:08,200
Speaker 1: say it's. It's when you look back on it, it

1414
01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:10,960
Speaker 1: seems like just yesterday I just got here. But and

1415
01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:13,040
Speaker 1: you want to really think through it, I mean, the

1416
01:15:13,120 --> 01:15:16,000
Speaker 1: time has definitely gone by, But um, yeah, it's it's

1417
01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:18,400
Speaker 1: it's gone by in some sense for sure. When did

1418
01:15:18,479 --> 01:15:20,120
Speaker 1: you know that you had a gift for throwing a

1419
01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:22,400
Speaker 1: ball through your legs while bent over with your head

1420
01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:25,439
Speaker 1: on the ground. I wouldn't say I ever knew I

1421
01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:28,400
Speaker 1: had a gift at it. Um, It's just something that

1422
01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:30,679
Speaker 1: kind of gradually I got better at. I got thrown

1423
01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:32,840
Speaker 1: in it in uh college. I came to college as

1424
01:15:32,880 --> 01:15:34,760
Speaker 1: a tight end or long snapper quit. I've done it

1425
01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:36,320
Speaker 1: in high school, so kind of got thrown into that

1426
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:39,040
Speaker 1: competition real quick and I ended up getting the job.

1427
01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:41,960
Speaker 1: Um wasn't very good, but like I said, slowly kind

1428
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:44,760
Speaker 1: of got better at it, and uh, yeah, here we are.

1429
01:15:44,960 --> 01:15:47,560
Speaker 1: Definitely was a blessing in disguise for sure. Have you

1430
01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:49,600
Speaker 1: ever talked to that guy that quit and said, you

1431
01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:51,519
Speaker 1: know what if you hadn't done that? Like maybe who

1432
01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:54,160
Speaker 1: knows where my life is right now? I haven't. I

1433
01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:55,960
Speaker 1: should look him up, though, I should definitely get in

1434
01:15:56,040 --> 01:15:58,040
Speaker 1: touch with him. And I'm like a Christmas gift one

1435
01:15:58,080 --> 01:15:59,920
Speaker 1: and this little bottle of wine. Any thanks? You know,

1436
01:16:00,040 --> 01:16:03,400
Speaker 1: things worked out pretty well for me. So what is

1437
01:16:03,479 --> 01:16:07,240
Speaker 1: the art of long snapping in your mind? Um? Man?

1438
01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:11,360
Speaker 1: The art of long snapping? Um, it's an art. Yeah, yeah,

1439
01:16:11,439 --> 01:16:14,599
Speaker 1: it definitely is. Uh you know it's I would say

1440
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:16,800
Speaker 1: that the secret is is just you know, have a

1441
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:18,800
Speaker 1: good focus and really working at it a lot. I mean,

1442
01:16:18,840 --> 01:16:20,960
Speaker 1: it's it's a muscle memory thing like uh, like a

1443
01:16:21,040 --> 01:16:23,560
Speaker 1: lot of what football is. It's, um, you know, just

1444
01:16:23,600 --> 01:16:25,840
Speaker 1: getting a ton of reps and like I said, gradually

1445
01:16:25,880 --> 01:16:28,240
Speaker 1: you'll just get more accurate and over the years, uh,

1446
01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:30,519
Speaker 1: you know, who knows what could what could happen with it.

1447
01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:33,240
Speaker 1: So just so people try to understand, like when let's

1448
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:35,800
Speaker 1: go for a field goal, Okay, you've got a field

1449
01:16:35,840 --> 01:16:37,560
Speaker 1: goal kicker who likes the ball a certain way, the

1450
01:16:37,600 --> 01:16:39,560
Speaker 1: holder likes to receive it a certain way. You're not

1451
01:16:39,720 --> 01:16:41,639
Speaker 1: just trying to snap it to a spot, You're trying

1452
01:16:41,680 --> 01:16:43,439
Speaker 1: to snap it to a spot with the laces also

1453
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:48,360
Speaker 1: in a particular spot when the ball arrives, which is crazy. Well,

1454
01:16:48,400 --> 01:16:50,040
Speaker 1: it's it's something that again you just do with a

1455
01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:51,639
Speaker 1: lot of reps and you figure out what the rotation

1456
01:16:51,760 --> 01:16:53,160
Speaker 1: is on your ball, and you figure out the exact

1457
01:16:53,200 --> 01:16:55,160
Speaker 1: distance you need between you and the holder, so the

1458
01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:56,920
Speaker 1: holder's gonna catch in the same spot. I know, I've

1459
01:16:56,920 --> 01:16:58,280
Speaker 1: got to put my feet in a certain spot to

1460
01:16:58,320 --> 01:17:00,760
Speaker 1: be able to have the laces come out of certain way. Um,

1461
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:02,160
Speaker 1: there's a few different ways you can do. You can

1462
01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:03,600
Speaker 1: kind of rotate the ball in your hand before you

1463
01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:06,160
Speaker 1: snap it. Um, I like to change the distance just

1464
01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:07,960
Speaker 1: because we get, you know, some rainy days here and

1465
01:17:07,960 --> 01:17:09,280
Speaker 1: stuff like that. I'd like to make sure my fingers

1466
01:17:09,320 --> 01:17:11,800
Speaker 1: are on the laces every time. So um. But yeah,

1467
01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:14,040
Speaker 1: that's just something that comes out with reps, and especially

1468
01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:15,479
Speaker 1: every time you get a new holder or a new

1469
01:17:15,560 --> 01:17:17,320
Speaker 1: kicker or whatever, that can kind of change things up

1470
01:17:17,320 --> 01:17:20,040
Speaker 1: a little bit. But uh, yeah, it's just repping it out,

1471
01:17:20,160 --> 01:17:22,600
Speaker 1: figuring it out. Do you know from the second that

1472
01:17:22,680 --> 01:17:26,320
Speaker 1: it leaves your fingers if it's perfect? Yeah, And I

1473
01:17:26,439 --> 01:17:28,240
Speaker 1: tell the guys all the time, like I know that

1474
01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:29,840
Speaker 1: one is right, but I don't know how far right

1475
01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:31,479
Speaker 1: it was. But if it's if it's right on the money,

1476
01:17:31,520 --> 01:17:33,840
Speaker 1: I kind of know as soon as it happens. Yeah,

1477
01:17:34,520 --> 01:17:36,160
Speaker 1: when you are staving, let's keep stay with field goals.

1478
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:37,600
Speaker 1: We'll get to puts a second. When you're stamping for

1479
01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:40,120
Speaker 1: a field goal, what are you you snap it? You

1480
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:42,479
Speaker 1: probably are hoping nobody likes throwing your head straight down

1481
01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:43,960
Speaker 1: into the ground or trying to jump over you, which,

1482
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:46,479
Speaker 1: thank you fully, the rules have told them to stop

1483
01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:49,800
Speaker 1: doing that. And then what are you listening for? Or

1484
01:17:49,920 --> 01:17:51,920
Speaker 1: is that what you're doing? No, No, I mean it's

1485
01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:54,400
Speaker 1: it's not as much of a listening thing. It's it's just, uh,

1486
01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:56,320
Speaker 1: it's more visual. Uh. You can get kind of a

1487
01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:58,960
Speaker 1: loud out there, so we keep things visual and um,

1488
01:17:59,479 --> 01:18:01,160
Speaker 1: not a snap up and get up and block. And

1489
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:04,040
Speaker 1: like you said, I know it as Susan leaves my hands,

1490
01:18:04,040 --> 01:18:06,560
Speaker 1: if it's good or not so. Um, if it's some

1491
01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:08,160
Speaker 1: feels off, I can tell you right now, my my

1492
01:18:08,240 --> 01:18:10,200
Speaker 1: heart sinks immediately. And as soon as I see the

1493
01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:11,680
Speaker 1: ball go through the uprights, I feel a lot better.

1494
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:17,840
Speaker 1: So is Kade Unlike anybody that you've been around. Um,

1495
01:18:18,200 --> 01:18:22,040
Speaker 1: he's definitely got an incredible amount of talent um, and

1496
01:18:22,320 --> 01:18:24,120
Speaker 1: the best part about it is I think his uh,

1497
01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:26,960
Speaker 1: his mindsets even better. Um. You know, he seems to

1498
01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:29,760
Speaker 1: be a very confident guy. Obviously, you know, we've we've

1499
01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:31,960
Speaker 1: got to get you know, through the test of the

1500
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:34,720
Speaker 1: first Energy in December and stuff like that. But um,

1501
01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:37,439
Speaker 1: he seems to really have it all together. So I'm

1502
01:18:37,479 --> 01:18:39,479
Speaker 1: really excited to watch him this season. All right, let's

1503
01:18:39,479 --> 01:18:42,720
Speaker 1: go back to the last preseason game. Whose idea was it? Hey,

1504
01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:45,240
Speaker 1: let's try a seventy yarder. You know, we were just

1505
01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:47,800
Speaker 1: warming up and we just kind of kept backing it

1506
01:18:47,960 --> 01:18:49,679
Speaker 1: up and backing it up, and all of a sudden

1507
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:51,640
Speaker 1: he was like, yeah, let's uh, let's just go for

1508
01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:54,599
Speaker 1: a seventy And after after we made it, I walk

1509
01:18:54,640 --> 01:18:56,000
Speaker 1: over to Pref. I was like, I don't think I've

1510
01:18:56,040 --> 01:18:57,800
Speaker 1: ever even snapped a ball on the other side of

1511
01:18:57,800 --> 01:19:00,040
Speaker 1: the fifty four field goal before much Less made it.

1512
01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:01,960
Speaker 1: I was like, that was incredible, and he was like, yeah,

1513
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:03,360
Speaker 1: that was that was impressive. You the Preef was just

1514
01:19:03,479 --> 01:19:05,519
Speaker 1: kind of like, yeah, it was it was whatever. I

1515
01:19:05,600 --> 01:19:08,360
Speaker 1: was like, no, that was that was pretty cool. But um,

1516
01:19:09,520 --> 01:19:11,600
Speaker 1: Thomas out there for sure. So I was watching that

1517
01:19:11,720 --> 01:19:14,000
Speaker 1: from the booth and I was like, it didn't even

1518
01:19:14,080 --> 01:19:16,400
Speaker 1: look hard, which was I've never seen anything like that

1519
01:19:16,479 --> 01:19:19,200
Speaker 1: in my life. And then their kicker tried from fifty

1520
01:19:19,240 --> 01:19:22,040
Speaker 1: six and hit the crossbar and I was like, sorry

1521
01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:24,040
Speaker 1: about that, brother, sorry about that. We had to see that.

1522
01:19:24,120 --> 01:19:25,640
Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at a lot of his

1523
01:19:25,800 --> 01:19:27,920
Speaker 1: kicks that he's made from you know, fifty five to

1524
01:19:28,040 --> 01:19:29,680
Speaker 1: fifty eight or whatever it is, I mean, there's still

1525
01:19:29,680 --> 01:19:31,120
Speaker 1: a lot of room left on the end of that ball.

1526
01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:33,160
Speaker 1: So I mean it, it didn't surprise me that he

1527
01:19:33,200 --> 01:19:34,960
Speaker 1: could do it, but it was still pretty cool to watch.

1528
01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:37,519
Speaker 1: I mean, I thought he made that forty seven yard

1529
01:19:37,600 --> 01:19:39,479
Speaker 1: or that he hit, which was his second make in

1530
01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:42,960
Speaker 1: that game, after making from fifty seven. I thought he

1531
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:44,840
Speaker 1: made that forty seven yard look like an old extra point.

1532
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:47,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it was just like a rocket. He's got

1533
01:19:47,640 --> 01:19:49,240
Speaker 1: a ton of power. He's got a ton of power,

1534
01:19:49,280 --> 01:19:51,920
Speaker 1: for sure. Um, I don't know that I've seen anything

1535
01:19:51,960 --> 01:19:54,320
Speaker 1: like it for sure. All Right, talk about your relationship,

1536
01:19:54,360 --> 01:19:56,800
Speaker 1: because you guys are so tight. The three of you

1537
01:19:56,920 --> 01:19:59,000
Speaker 1: are spending so much time together. It was four while

1538
01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:00,479
Speaker 1: Joe was here was a good dude it as well.

1539
01:20:00,840 --> 01:20:02,639
Speaker 1: You know, what's that relationship like with you and Cade

1540
01:20:02,680 --> 01:20:05,960
Speaker 1: and Corey because they're both new, You're the constant. You

1541
01:20:06,080 --> 01:20:08,719
Speaker 1: represented the team as the captain in those preseason games,

1542
01:20:08,760 --> 01:20:10,599
Speaker 1: and I don't know if that's going to continue. I'd

1543
01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:11,800
Speaker 1: like to see it. I thought you were great out

1544
01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:14,479
Speaker 1: there at the captaincy. Um, But what's that relationship like

1545
01:20:14,560 --> 01:20:16,599
Speaker 1: for the three of you guys? Um, Well, it's something

1546
01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:18,600
Speaker 1: that just grows over time and we're still growing it.

1547
01:20:18,640 --> 01:20:20,240
Speaker 1: But I'd say, you know, we've we've gotten a lot

1548
01:20:20,280 --> 01:20:22,400
Speaker 1: closer through O t A S and training camp and

1549
01:20:22,439 --> 01:20:24,840
Speaker 1: stuff like that. But you know it's good. I mean,

1550
01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:27,479
Speaker 1: they're great guys. We really get along. We've done some barbecues,

1551
01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:29,840
Speaker 1: going out to dinner a couple of times, and I

1552
01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:31,600
Speaker 1: would say that they definitely see that seem like a

1553
01:20:31,680 --> 01:20:34,000
Speaker 1: mature group. Um, you know to me feeling like the

1554
01:20:34,120 --> 01:20:38,200
Speaker 1: freaking grandfather sometimes. Um, you know, maturities doesn't always quite

1555
01:20:38,240 --> 01:20:40,160
Speaker 1: match up with your with your specialists, but this group

1556
01:20:40,240 --> 01:20:43,519
Speaker 1: is very mature, very humble. Uh, just a great group

1557
01:20:43,560 --> 01:20:45,960
Speaker 1: of guys to be around, Like you think about kind

1558
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:48,000
Speaker 1: of the variety, right, you are an established guy, you

1559
01:20:48,120 --> 01:20:49,840
Speaker 1: got kids to your kids come running out here at

1560
01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:52,800
Speaker 1: training camp. You know, Caid's a very very young guy.

1561
01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:54,640
Speaker 1: You know, a couple of years ago you had the

1562
01:20:54,640 --> 01:20:56,000
Speaker 1: Hammer who was a young guy. Then you had our

1563
01:20:56,040 --> 01:20:57,960
Speaker 1: great friend of course, Cole. Do you still say in

1564
01:20:58,040 --> 01:20:59,680
Speaker 1: touch with Cole? Oh? Yeah, I texted him every once

1565
01:20:59,720 --> 01:21:01,720
Speaker 1: in a while. Um, talk to him a couple of

1566
01:21:01,720 --> 01:21:03,679
Speaker 1: weeks ago. He seems to be doing good and joined

1567
01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:05,800
Speaker 1: the beach life down to Florida. Have been a great time.

1568
01:21:05,840 --> 01:21:07,680
Speaker 1: Did you notice that he got photographed as one of

1569
01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:09,760
Speaker 1: like the hot dad bods of Florida. Did you see

1570
01:21:09,800 --> 01:21:12,800
Speaker 1: that my wife follows his wife And somehow my wife

1571
01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:15,519
Speaker 1: pointed that out and I was like, I mean, can't

1572
01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:18,120
Speaker 1: even hate on him for it. You know, it's so cool,

1573
01:21:18,160 --> 01:21:20,280
Speaker 1: It's perfect. Actually texted him this morning, was joking with

1574
01:21:20,360 --> 01:21:22,280
Speaker 1: him about that again, because every time I text him,

1575
01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:23,800
Speaker 1: I joked with him about that because I guess he

1576
01:21:23,840 --> 01:21:26,040
Speaker 1: doesn't like he thought it wasn't a good flattering enough picture,

1577
01:21:26,040 --> 01:21:30,880
Speaker 1: which I think is classical. M The guys in great shape.

1578
01:21:30,880 --> 01:21:32,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what to say. I mean, he's he's

1579
01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:37,120
Speaker 1: going to begin some attention, you know, no doubt about that, alright.

1580
01:21:37,360 --> 01:21:40,240
Speaker 1: For you going into this season, you know, and we've

1581
01:21:40,240 --> 01:21:42,880
Speaker 1: had the highs of we've had some lows obviously that

1582
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:44,840
Speaker 1: you've been a part of as well, what's kind of

1583
01:21:44,920 --> 01:21:47,240
Speaker 1: your mindset for being around this team, because you get

1584
01:21:47,240 --> 01:21:49,080
Speaker 1: to observe this team as much as probably anybody, and

1585
01:21:49,120 --> 01:21:52,280
Speaker 1: you've seen it all a lot of it. What's kind

1586
01:21:52,280 --> 01:21:54,320
Speaker 1: of your your thoughts on this team and what can

1587
01:21:54,320 --> 01:21:56,840
Speaker 1: be accomplished this year? I think the sky's a limit.

1588
01:21:56,880 --> 01:21:59,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you know every year, you know, you kind

1589
01:21:59,120 --> 01:22:01,280
Speaker 1: of have that mindset that we're gonna accomplish great things.

1590
01:22:01,320 --> 01:22:03,959
Speaker 1: But but truly this I think this is the most complete,

1591
01:22:04,040 --> 01:22:06,800
Speaker 1: talented team I've been around since I've been here. And um,

1592
01:22:07,040 --> 01:22:08,680
Speaker 1: I'm I'm really excited to see what we can do.

1593
01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:11,280
Speaker 1: It's all about, you know, putting it together on the field. Um.

1594
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:13,559
Speaker 1: But you know that's like I said, that's the mindset

1595
01:22:13,600 --> 01:22:15,519
Speaker 1: every year. But this year, something definitely feels different out

1596
01:22:15,520 --> 01:22:17,880
Speaker 1: locker room. We feel closer, The chemistry feels really good,

1597
01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:20,679
Speaker 1: and I'm excited about it. I'm already actually play a game.

1598
01:22:20,680 --> 01:22:22,880
Speaker 1: I feel like this has been a long off season.

1599
01:22:22,920 --> 01:22:24,439
Speaker 1: I'm sure you felt that as well. But out exciting,

1600
01:22:24,439 --> 01:22:26,920
Speaker 1: he said, Okay, now we get to play Opening Day

1601
01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:30,640
Speaker 1: is is always my favorite. Um, the energy in the

1602
01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:33,800
Speaker 1: stadium is it is always amazing, whether home or away,

1603
01:22:33,920 --> 01:22:37,960
Speaker 1: especially home obviously, but um, there's really no feeling like

1604
01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:41,320
Speaker 1: Opening Day, and um, I'm I'm really excited about it.

1605
01:22:41,800 --> 01:22:43,800
Speaker 1: How do you feel that as a specialist, you know,

1606
01:22:43,840 --> 01:22:46,479
Speaker 1: in the preseason starters we get to do this whatever,

1607
01:22:46,600 --> 01:22:48,640
Speaker 1: we get to sit around and wear jerseys, not you,

1608
01:22:49,400 --> 01:22:51,600
Speaker 1: and yet you're the guy. Have you ever thought about that?

1609
01:22:51,920 --> 01:22:53,240
Speaker 1: Is that ever? Or do you like it? You're like,

1610
01:22:53,360 --> 01:22:54,640
Speaker 1: I just this is what I do. I'd I'd rather

1611
01:22:54,680 --> 01:22:56,880
Speaker 1: be out there snapping and hitting some dudes and running

1612
01:22:56,880 --> 01:22:59,800
Speaker 1: down on punts. Um. You know, I've kind of owned

1613
01:22:59,840 --> 01:23:01,920
Speaker 1: my role a little bit. Um, Like I said when

1614
01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:03,479
Speaker 1: I when I first went to college, as I tied in,

1615
01:23:03,680 --> 01:23:05,719
Speaker 1: and I was a little disappointed to be you know, snapping,

1616
01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:07,840
Speaker 1: especially like as I went in you know, through college,

1617
01:23:07,840 --> 01:23:10,680
Speaker 1: like junior senior year, I definitely miss playing tight end.

1618
01:23:10,760 --> 01:23:13,000
Speaker 1: But at this point, and this is my role, I

1619
01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:15,439
Speaker 1: certainly wouldn't be here's a tight end. So um, I'm

1620
01:23:15,479 --> 01:23:17,040
Speaker 1: happy to be a part of this team. I'm happy

1621
01:23:17,160 --> 01:23:19,120
Speaker 1: and excited about my role, and really all I'm focused

1622
01:23:19,160 --> 01:23:21,400
Speaker 1: on is doing my job as good as possible. By

1623
01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:23,320
Speaker 1: the way, it's a nice compliment. There isn't another long

1624
01:23:23,400 --> 01:23:24,960
Speaker 1: snapper here, so you're like, sure, I'll take all the

1625
01:23:25,040 --> 01:23:28,400
Speaker 1: reps because then it's my gig. I do not mind

1626
01:23:28,439 --> 01:23:31,479
Speaker 1: taking all the reps. Um. Honestly, it helps me getting

1627
01:23:31,479 --> 01:23:33,920
Speaker 1: as many reps as possible. Um, you know, there's not

1628
01:23:34,280 --> 01:23:36,679
Speaker 1: you know, I don't get to get sixty plays or whatever.

1629
01:23:36,760 --> 01:23:40,240
Speaker 1: In practice it's usually ten. Um, So I would I'd

1630
01:23:40,280 --> 01:23:42,200
Speaker 1: love to take all the reps, to be honest with you. Um,

1631
01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:44,560
Speaker 1: It just gives me more prepared. Do you think you

1632
01:23:44,640 --> 01:23:47,600
Speaker 1: have mastered sitting on a medicine ball and feeding that machine? Now?

1633
01:23:47,640 --> 01:23:50,080
Speaker 1: Because I thought your form this year was really it

1634
01:23:50,200 --> 01:23:52,200
Speaker 1: was at a new level. It was elite watching it.

1635
01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:54,120
Speaker 1: I was like, that looks like fun. It looks like

1636
01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:55,840
Speaker 1: you're having a great time. You know, there's a science

1637
01:23:55,880 --> 01:23:58,320
Speaker 1: to it. Um, there's a lot of physics involved. You

1638
01:23:58,400 --> 01:24:00,680
Speaker 1: really got to make sure you've got the trajectory of

1639
01:24:00,680 --> 01:24:02,720
Speaker 1: the ball coming out of the Jugs machine perfect. Um.

1640
01:24:03,080 --> 01:24:05,800
Speaker 1: The medicine ball is more you know, ergonomic, so you

1641
01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:08,800
Speaker 1: don't have any bad posture. Yeah. Yeah, So there's really

1642
01:24:08,800 --> 01:24:10,519
Speaker 1: a lot of thought that that goes into that. Um,

1643
01:24:10,680 --> 01:24:12,920
Speaker 1: obviously get a ton of reps doing that, and uh,

1644
01:24:13,240 --> 01:24:15,120
Speaker 1: it's really something that's evolved over time. Well, I've no

1645
01:24:15,160 --> 01:24:16,680
Speaker 1: it's here because you know, i'd see in the gym

1646
01:24:16,760 --> 01:24:18,240
Speaker 1: when we were sharing a gym for a while there,

1647
01:24:18,280 --> 01:24:19,960
Speaker 1: your cour strength was on point, and I think that

1648
01:24:20,040 --> 01:24:22,479
Speaker 1: just speaks to your ability to the master the medicine

1649
01:24:22,520 --> 01:24:24,240
Speaker 1: ball like that. Well that's that's why I work on

1650
01:24:24,280 --> 01:24:26,840
Speaker 1: my core really. Um, it's it's more for the jugs machine.

1651
01:24:27,560 --> 01:24:28,920
Speaker 1: Got to get it. Make sure our punter and and

1652
01:24:29,040 --> 01:24:32,000
Speaker 1: holder is is uh he gets as many good reps

1653
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:34,360
Speaker 1: as possible from that jugs. Is there anything different about

1654
01:24:34,360 --> 01:24:36,599
Speaker 1: snapping to a left footed punter? They tend to want

1655
01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:39,120
Speaker 1: the ball more on their left side. Um, So you

1656
01:24:39,200 --> 01:24:41,120
Speaker 1: know I had Jamie last year and then and then

1657
01:24:41,439 --> 01:24:43,280
Speaker 1: Dustin Cole quote as well. They were all left footed,

1658
01:24:43,320 --> 01:24:44,840
Speaker 1: so I've I've been used to it. Oh was the

1659
01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:47,800
Speaker 1: outlier the original Coal? Yes, yes he was the last

1660
01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:50,360
Speaker 1: time I had a right a right footed punter. So yeah,

1661
01:24:50,400 --> 01:24:52,479
Speaker 1: they tend to want the ball more on their left side. Um,

1662
01:24:52,680 --> 01:24:55,360
Speaker 1: it's not a huge adjustment. I just kind of just uh,

1663
01:24:55,880 --> 01:24:58,760
Speaker 1: you know, my my target point. I guess all right,

1664
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:00,200
Speaker 1: do you are you going out there for the coin

1665
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:02,080
Speaker 1: toss or is it secret? I don't think it. I

1666
01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:05,400
Speaker 1: don't think it's a secret. Uh yeah, let's go, all right,

1667
01:25:05,439 --> 01:25:09,800
Speaker 1: what's your go to? Um? I always go tails. Never fails. Charlie,

1668
01:25:09,880 --> 01:25:11,760
Speaker 1: this has been a great pleasure. I appreciate it. Thank you.

1669
01:25:15,240 --> 01:25:17,759
Speaker 1: If you're just new to this show in the last

1670
01:25:18,040 --> 01:25:20,880
Speaker 1: sorry it's no kidding, but in the last three years,

1671
01:25:21,840 --> 01:25:27,360
Speaker 1: because he's just Cole, there's no other points hand. Still

1672
01:25:27,439 --> 01:25:31,559
Speaker 1: he to this day, he walked in here with wax

1673
01:25:31,640 --> 01:25:35,360
Speaker 1: on his hands and kombucha. I love the kombucha. Handed

1674
01:25:35,479 --> 01:25:38,519
Speaker 1: us a taste. It was delicious. I I don't know

1675
01:25:38,600 --> 01:25:41,080
Speaker 1: that I found another kimbucha I've liked as much as

1676
01:25:41,120 --> 01:25:43,920
Speaker 1: the one that Cole offered. And I don't know where

1677
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:45,759
Speaker 1: he got it. It's got to be a player kombucha

1678
01:25:45,800 --> 01:25:50,160
Speaker 1: that's downstairs. It isn't a light um. And then you know,

1679
01:25:50,280 --> 01:25:53,880
Speaker 1: he made this gorgeous wax molding um. And then we

1680
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:55,960
Speaker 1: were conversing with him this morning. He finally got back

1681
01:25:55,960 --> 01:25:57,679
Speaker 1: to us. He was on a trip and of course

1682
01:25:57,720 --> 01:26:00,600
Speaker 1: we're referring to Britain Cole Quick the first Cold. But

1683
01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:02,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if they didn't know who Coal was.

1684
01:26:02,280 --> 01:26:05,400
Speaker 1: If you get to know that that's true, that's not

1685
01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:09,720
Speaker 1: you might it could have overstepped. I'm fine with that. Yeah,

1686
01:26:09,840 --> 01:26:11,639
Speaker 1: But he went on a he went on a RV

1687
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:15,679
Speaker 1: trip with his family. It's a it's a brood, it's

1688
01:26:15,680 --> 01:26:18,479
Speaker 1: a lot, it's a lot. And they went around and

1689
01:26:18,800 --> 01:26:21,160
Speaker 1: it went he said, everything that could go wrong did

1690
01:26:21,280 --> 01:26:23,400
Speaker 1: and I tweeted him back, text me back some of

1691
01:26:23,439 --> 01:26:27,680
Speaker 1: the effective. Well, yeah, that's that's what it is. That's

1692
01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:31,080
Speaker 1: of course it's gonna go poorly. You don't win. You

1693
01:26:31,120 --> 01:26:35,360
Speaker 1: don't win doing that. No, I like Charlie. I liked it. Yeah,

1694
01:26:36,280 --> 01:26:40,120
Speaker 1: I love he was great. I mean he's eight year,

1695
01:26:40,280 --> 01:26:44,120
Speaker 1: eighth year is a long snapper. He's not a long snapper.

1696
01:26:44,160 --> 01:26:46,599
Speaker 1: If the long snappers college team doesn't just up and quit,

1697
01:26:47,240 --> 01:26:48,960
Speaker 1: and he gets a chance to do it and ends

1698
01:26:49,000 --> 01:26:50,559
Speaker 1: up winning it, and now he's in the NFL, has

1699
01:26:50,680 --> 01:26:54,760
Speaker 1: a great job, making great money and long snapping like

1700
01:26:54,840 --> 01:26:58,479
Speaker 1: a champion. It's awesome. What a story. That's a great story.

1701
01:26:58,720 --> 01:27:00,600
Speaker 1: I think it is too. And I the other thing

1702
01:27:00,680 --> 01:27:02,839
Speaker 1: that's interesting about it is is you say to yourself,

1703
01:27:04,479 --> 01:27:08,519
Speaker 1: it's such a specific skill set that once you find

1704
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:10,360
Speaker 1: somebody who does it well, you can kind of have

1705
01:27:10,520 --> 01:27:16,599
Speaker 1: it forever. You know, you can be there forever, no doubt. Yep, agreed.

1706
01:27:17,160 --> 01:27:22,360
Speaker 1: What's the um Let me see this now, boy, there's

1707
01:27:22,360 --> 01:27:24,080
Speaker 1: a lot of Charlie Hewletts. I was just trying to see,

1708
01:27:24,160 --> 01:27:31,240
Speaker 1: like the the career achievement situation for Charlie in terms

1709
01:27:31,280 --> 01:27:34,360
Speaker 1: of college and everything else. He's a man of great consequence.

1710
01:27:36,479 --> 01:27:38,479
Speaker 1: But I guess what I was going for was if

1711
01:27:38,560 --> 01:27:44,599
Speaker 1: that doesn't happen, very likely, not here, not anywhere at

1712
01:27:44,640 --> 01:27:46,639
Speaker 1: this point not in the league. So he's a UCF

1713
01:27:46,760 --> 01:27:52,560
Speaker 1: guy to be a played at UCF, was undrafted and

1714
01:27:53,080 --> 01:27:56,360
Speaker 1: found his way and then away you go and has

1715
01:27:56,400 --> 01:27:59,519
Speaker 1: been in the league. My gosh, since two thousand twelve,

1716
01:28:00,040 --> 01:28:02,160
Speaker 1: he was an undrafted free agent. He's been in the league.

1717
01:28:02,280 --> 01:28:05,280
Speaker 1: And so yeah, it's it's really an awesome story and

1718
01:28:05,320 --> 01:28:07,320
Speaker 1: you think about it coming full circle and now for

1719
01:28:07,400 --> 01:28:10,439
Speaker 1: the second time being named a captain of the Cleveland

1720
01:28:10,479 --> 01:28:13,080
Speaker 1: Browns two thousand, nineteen two and now in two thousand

1721
01:28:13,200 --> 01:28:15,519
Speaker 1: and twenty two, that special teams group could be special.

1722
01:28:15,600 --> 01:28:19,360
Speaker 1: I did agree. I drafted York in the fantasy and

1723
01:28:19,439 --> 01:28:21,720
Speaker 1: one last night with asked I was drafted with as

1724
01:28:21,840 --> 01:28:23,040
Speaker 1: that he's like, we gotta get kat York. So we

1725
01:28:23,040 --> 01:28:25,679
Speaker 1: took him early and somebody's like, Kage York, dude, booms,

1726
01:28:25,960 --> 01:28:28,519
Speaker 1: trust me. Plus we could play for field goals maybe

1727
01:28:28,560 --> 01:28:30,400
Speaker 1: who knows, who knows, But I mean, I think he's

1728
01:28:30,400 --> 01:28:33,600
Speaker 1: a had some bombs and a ware. You go, all right,

1729
01:28:33,960 --> 01:28:35,519

Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald headed to Monday Night Countdown officially retired. I

1742
01:29:25,600 --> 01:29:27,840
Speaker 1: would say at that point, I think he's gonna be

1743
01:29:27,920 --> 01:29:30,400
Speaker 1: great too. I think he's gonna be fantastic at it.

1744
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:34,719
Speaker 1: So field Yates, in response to Adam Schefter's sweet about

1745
01:29:34,720 --> 01:29:36,240
Speaker 1: that he would be a part of ESPN's Monday Night

1746
01:29:36,280 --> 01:29:39,880
Speaker 1: Countdown and welcome him to the team. Field the Eights

1747
01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:42,160
Speaker 1: tweeted out. Tweeted out what I think is maybe the

1748
01:29:42,200 --> 01:29:48,280
Speaker 1: most incredible statistic I can even fathom for a wide receiver. Okay,

1749
01:29:49,080 --> 01:29:54,120
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald finished his seventeen year career with more tackles

1750
01:29:54,640 --> 01:30:04,200
Speaker 1: forty one, then dropped passes, so forty one times the

1751
01:30:04,240 --> 01:30:08,120
Speaker 1: ball was intended to him or somebody. Yeah, and he

1752
01:30:08,200 --> 01:30:10,280
Speaker 1: made the tackle like the Super Bowl when he chased

1753
01:30:10,320 --> 01:30:19,120
Speaker 1: down James Harrison. Wow, that is staggering. Forty one tackles,

1754
01:30:19,360 --> 01:30:22,439
Speaker 1: twenty nine drops he averaged just he didn't average two

1755
01:30:22,479 --> 01:30:24,920
Speaker 1: drops a year, and he was heavily targeted. Yes, he was.

1756
01:30:25,720 --> 01:30:28,600
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald. I'm glad that he got to you know,

1757
01:30:28,680 --> 01:30:30,519
Speaker 1: it's funny he got to play, ended up having It

1758
01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:33,120
Speaker 1: was a tough franchise when he got there, but you

1759
01:30:33,200 --> 01:30:36,240
Speaker 1: got to play with Warner and Palmer and have some

1760
01:30:36,360 --> 01:30:38,639
Speaker 1: statistical achievement and get all the way to his Super

1761
01:30:38,680 --> 01:30:41,439
Speaker 1: Bowl and then even Kyler at the end. So he's

1762
01:30:42,479 --> 01:30:45,680
Speaker 1: for sure. Yeah, he's gotta be feels like it to me.

1763
01:30:45,880 --> 01:30:47,400
Speaker 1: I mean, how many First team All pros are we

1764
01:30:47,439 --> 01:30:50,880
Speaker 1: talking about? It's tough one. It's a crowded category. One

1765
01:30:51,040 --> 01:30:54,719
Speaker 1: first team All Pro eleven time Pro bowler was Walter Payton,

1766
01:30:54,760 --> 01:30:59,559
Speaker 1: Man of the Year, led the league in receptions twice

1767
01:30:59,640 --> 01:31:03,679
Speaker 1: udily and receiving touchdowns twice. He had I mean one

1768
01:31:03,800 --> 01:31:08,799
Speaker 1: to three four ten thousand yards seasons, four over fourteen

1769
01:31:08,880 --> 01:31:11,560
Speaker 1: hundred yards. Buddy Mine, who I went to college with,

1770
01:31:11,760 --> 01:31:15,719
Speaker 1: lives in Mesa and his neighbors with uh Larry Fitzgerald

1771
01:31:15,760 --> 01:31:18,240
Speaker 1: belonged to the same golf course nicest nicest guy ever

1772
01:31:18,520 --> 01:31:20,760
Speaker 1: from the year nicest guy ever. According to him, from

1773
01:31:20,800 --> 01:31:24,320
Speaker 1: the year two thousand five until two thousand and seventeen,

1774
01:31:24,400 --> 01:31:28,840
Speaker 1: he was only not a pro bowler twice. That's first

1775
01:31:28,880 --> 01:31:31,559
Speaker 1: ballot gold jacket. Yeah, it feels like it start getting

1776
01:31:31,600 --> 01:31:34,519
Speaker 1: that sized up. Big TV Media day today with that

1777
01:31:34,760 --> 01:31:37,560
Speaker 1: happening with money and I countdown and then McAfee is

1778
01:31:37,600 --> 01:31:39,800
Speaker 1: going to be full time on College Game Day. That

1779
01:31:39,920 --> 01:31:43,280
Speaker 1: became official as well, and probably my hunches that he

1780
01:31:43,320 --> 01:31:45,720
Speaker 1: will replace leek Horso on that at something. I mean,

1781
01:31:45,720 --> 01:31:47,800
Speaker 1: he's on right now. He's starting this week. The deal

1782
01:31:47,880 --> 01:31:50,400
Speaker 1: got done, which is odd that they let week one

1783
01:31:50,439 --> 01:31:52,479
Speaker 1: of the season go before getting him on. But he'll

1784
01:31:52,520 --> 01:31:54,920
Speaker 1: start this week on College Game Day. And my hunch

1785
01:31:55,040 --> 01:31:57,560
Speaker 1: and I think he could do it authentically without it

1786
01:31:57,640 --> 01:31:59,760
Speaker 1: feeling contrived. He could do the helmet gear or the

1787
01:31:59,800 --> 01:32:02,759
Speaker 1: bad Scott whatever way of picking games, which is such

1788
01:32:02,800 --> 01:32:04,880
Speaker 1: a key to their whole operation. Of course, it was

1789
01:32:04,920 --> 01:32:08,920
Speaker 1: eighty nine like it's it's tough, So yeah, I think

1790
01:32:08,960 --> 01:32:10,439
Speaker 1: that makes a lot of sense for Pat to do that.

1791
01:32:10,600 --> 01:32:14,320
Speaker 1: So big, big moment and shaking their kids all right,

1792
01:32:14,479 --> 01:32:17,520
Speaker 1: next level is coming up next. We are back tomorrow

1793
01:32:17,920 --> 01:32:21,880
Speaker 1: on a Thursday edition and we've got NFL games. How

1794
01:32:21,920 --> 01:32:25,040
Speaker 1: about that the way we go? Let's go and listen

1795
01:32:25,040 --> 01:32:28,439
Speaker 1: to Clean the Browns Daily on a ESPN Cleveland. You've

1796
01:32:28,479 --> 01:32:30,519
Speaker 1: been listening to Cleveland Brown's Daily
