1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: Hi, everybody, Welcome to this Tuesday edition of the From 2 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: the Podium podcast. Jason Gibbs here. The Browns off today, 3 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 1: but they will be back in Berea tomorrow on Wednesday 4 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,599 Speaker 1: at the Cross Country Mortgage Campus to begin preparations for 5 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,760 Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. On today's episode, you'll hear from head 6 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 1: coach Kevin Stefanski, tight end Jordan Akens, and cornerback Greg Newsom. 7 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: The second we start with head coach Kevin Stefanski, who 8 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 1: met with the media after watching the tape from Sunday's loss. 9 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 2: You know, obviously disappointing. 10 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 3: You put a lot into these games and you want 11 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 3: to go on the road and play well, and we 12 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 3: didn't do that and that's ultimately something that we got 13 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 3: to get fixed. So disappointing, but nobody's feeling sorry for us. 14 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 3: We got to do our work here during the week, 15 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 3: put a plan together, and go find a way to 16 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 3: win on Sunday. 17 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 2: It's really as simple as that. With that, I'll take 18 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 2: any questions, Kevin. Another, no quick fixes here in terms 19 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 2: of priorities. What are you looking at right away, especially 20 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 2: to get the offense going. 21 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, we just haven't been good enough. Tom It's very disappointing. 22 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 3: We'll look at what we can do to score points, 23 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 3: to stay on the field, those type of things. But 24 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 3: the truth is we got to just I have to 25 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 3: coach better, we have to play better, and it's something 26 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 3: that we will fix together. 27 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 4: Yeah, Kevin, I know last night was the heat of 28 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 4: the moment and you get questions thrown at you right away, 29 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 4: but you did say that you're not going to make 30 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 4: a change at quarterback last night. Just wondering, after watching 31 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 4: the film and talking things over and having your meetings 32 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 4: or whatever, do you still hold to that that you're 33 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 4: not going to change the quarterback and if so, can 34 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 4: you elaborate on your reasons for doing it. 35 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. 36 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 3: Again, it kind of goes back to what I said earlier, 37 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 3: Mary Kay, I have to coach better. As offensive coaches, 38 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 3: we have to coach better. As players, we have to 39 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 3: play better. Deshaun can play better. He will play better. 40 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 3: He's had some obviously good moments and then there's times 41 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 3: that we have to play better around him. But he's 42 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 3: committed to getting better. We're committed as an offense to 43 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 3: putting our guys in position to succeed. 44 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 2: Kevin, two questions, Why do you think Deshaun gives you 45 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 2: the best option to win. 46 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 5: Yeah. 47 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 3: I think I've been pretty clear guys all along. This 48 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 3: is not a one person type of deal. When we're 49 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 3: playing how we're playing on offense, we need everybody to 50 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 3: do their job and do their job better. 51 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 2: And I look at. 52 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 3: Myself and how I can do that. But I believe 53 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 3: in DeShawn, and I believe in what he brings to 54 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 3: this offense, and I believe he will play better. 55 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 2: And is the decision to stick with him yours exclusively? 56 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I understand the question. As you guys know, 57 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 3: I make decisions for our football team. But I obviously 58 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 3: consult with Andrew. We talk about everything that goes on 59 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 3: with our football team. But ultimate it's my decision. 60 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 5: Yes, Hey, Kevin, do you have any updates on the 61 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 5: injured guys yesterday? 62 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 3: You know, kind of still getting back stuff from MRIs 63 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 3: right now, Scott, any anybody in particular. 64 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 5: How about David and Ethan? 65 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 2: Nothing new to report there on either guy. We'll see, okay. 66 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 5: And you know, Deshaun talked about trying to run the 67 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 5: ball and how you have to do that against two 68 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 5: high safeties and you're seeing a bunch of that So 69 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 5: why do you think that's been a problem to be 70 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 5: able to establish that run game. 71 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. 72 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 3: Again, I think it's multifaceted, and I think we can 73 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 3: certainly give the guys a plan to put them in 74 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 3: position to make some yards versus those shell looks like 75 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 3: you mentioned, Scott. 76 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 2: But it's not one thing. It's not one player, it's 77 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 2: not one scheme. 78 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 3: We just we got to go execute and feel and 79 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 3: we have to give the guys something they can execute 80 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 3: at a high level. I'm gonna work hard at that 81 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 3: this week so those guys can play fast on Sunday. 82 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, Kevin, the disorganization on offense is really hard to miss, 83 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 6: especially in that third quarter sequence there. Just what changes 84 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 6: are you considering to get this offense going and on track? 85 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we have to look at everything, Darryl, 86 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 3: how we put it together, you know, really just take 87 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 3: a long, hard look at what we're doing. And again, 88 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 3: I think it goes back to any success on offense 89 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 3: comes from giving the guys a plan that they can 90 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 3: go execute at a high level. I believe in the 91 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 3: coaches we have, I believe in the players we have, 92 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 3: and we will get it fixed together. 93 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 6: And you know, I certainly understand what we talked about. 94 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 6: Dated it's just not one singular player or person or whatever, 95 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 6: you know, the supporting cast around to Sewan, you know, blocking, 96 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 6: catching passes, being where they're supposed to be on the 97 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 6: field when they're supposed to be there, and things like that. 98 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 6: How do you clean those things up when you're five 99 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 6: weeks into the season and the issue seems to be 100 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 6: a repetitive one. 101 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I understand your question. 102 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 3: But for us, we really just focus on on week 103 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 3: to week what we feel like we can do better. 104 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 2: I know that the guys are working hard. 105 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 3: I know that we can give them concepts that they 106 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 3: can operate at a high level those type of things. 107 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 3: But it's a constant thing in the NFL making sure 108 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 3: that your guys are in position to go make plays. 109 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 2: And we'll work at that this week. Thank Devin. 110 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 7: Get After and I know you said that and asked 111 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 7: about the decision to stay stick with DeShawn as the 112 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 7: starting quarterback. You mentioned that, you know, you obviously have 113 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 7: conversations with Andrew Berry, but it awesomely comes down to you. 114 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 7: I was curious, I mean, in the midst of just 115 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 7: signing to stick with DeShawn, do you have conversations with 116 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 7: that hasn't with Jimmy WHI they're involved with these conversations 117 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 7: or is it just the football operations in terms of 118 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 7: you and Andrew. 119 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, as you can imagine, Daniel, I talked to Andrew, 120 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 3: I talk to ownership about our football team. But again, 121 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 3: I want to continue to reinforce we have to play 122 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 3: better as a football team. I know we have to 123 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 3: play better on offense. I need to do my part 124 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 3: to make sure that we're playing better on offense. But 125 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 3: this is a football team. This is the greatest team 126 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 3: sport there is, and we have to play better as 127 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 3: a football team. 128 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 7: So the confirmed ownership is having to say, and you know, 129 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 7: whether DeShawn is. 130 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 2: Still stick in his starting quarterback. Yeah. 131 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 3: I wouldn't get into all the specifics. I think you 132 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 3: guys know that we make great decisions together. I obviously 133 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 3: talked to Andrew about everything we do. We talk to 134 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 3: ownership about everything we do. That's just how we operate. 135 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, Kevin, just in the interest of just shaking things 136 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 4: up and trying something different, would you consider turning the 137 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 4: play calling over to Ken Dorsey. 138 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 2: I think there's a bunch of different things. 139 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,799 Speaker 3: Mary kay that we want to look at and see 140 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 3: how we're doing from an operations standpoint. On offense, I 141 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 3: think Ken's been an outstanding partner and all of this, 142 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 3: So those are the type of things that I will 143 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 3: always look at, But really it just gets back to 144 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 3: making sure that we're putting our guys in position is 145 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 3: what we'll look at ultimately. 146 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 2: Thank Kevin. 147 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 8: I know you know early and earlier in the season, 148 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 8: you guys weren't going to use injuries as any kind 149 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 8: of excuse or to any of your production on the field. 150 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 8: But to this point in the season, with the way 151 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 8: the offensive line is shaken out and how guys have 152 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 8: gone down, do you feel as though there has been 153 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 8: some hindrance of on the offense, especially of like what 154 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 8: you guys have been trying to install and implement and 155 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 8: what we've been able to see. 156 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I understand the question, Cam, but we believe in 157 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 3: the guys we have in their injuries are a part 158 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 3: of this game. I think if you look at every team, 159 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 3: they're dealing with injuries, so we're certainly not using it 160 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 3: as an excuse for anything. 161 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 8: Do you feel as though there is a lot more 162 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 8: that you guys have worked to install through the off 163 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 8: season that is yet to be seen in game day. 164 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know that that's fair to characterize it 165 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 3: like that. We'll just always go into these games trying 166 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 3: to understand who's available to us, what kind of plan 167 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 3: can we put together with the guys who are available 168 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 3: to us, and being able to pivot during the week, 169 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 3: because sometimes you have to wait till Friday or Saturday 170 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 3: to know which guys will be out there. 171 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 2: And that's again, that's just part of how we operate. 172 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 5: Kim DeShawn talked about figuring out what you guys were 173 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 5: good at and leaning So have you been able to 174 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 5: identify maybe some core things that you're able to lean into. 175 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 3: Well, again, until we sustain drives score points, you're constantly 176 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 3: trying to lean into things that you feel like your 177 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 3: guys can do. You know, we're working hard at that. 178 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 3: These guys understand that this is a process we'll work 179 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 3: at this week understanding what matches up versus the Eagles, 180 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 3: obviously because that factors into when you're putting these game 181 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 3: plans together. But certainly you want to be able to 182 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 3: hang your hat on offense in the run game in 183 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 3: the past game that you feel confident that your guys 184 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 3: can execute. 185 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 5: And then a couple of those injury guys. Denzel any 186 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 5: update on him? 187 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 2: No update yet. 188 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 5: And do you know if you're going to get any 189 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 5: of the guys that you put on IR after week 190 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 5: one one? Tony mamu mo. 191 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. I would say it's day to day. 192 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 3: I'll have a better feel for that going in tomorrow 193 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 3: and obviously going into Wednesday. 194 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, Kevin, I feel I need to ask you this, 195 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 6: the results being what they are with this new offense 196 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 6: that's been incorporated this year, why can't you go back 197 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 6: to what was successful last year? What I'm talking like 198 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 6: pre Joe Flacco, the first part of the season with 199 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 6: Deshaun Why can't you just go back to that. 200 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,439 Speaker 2: It seems like you were more. 201 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 6: Successful or had some success running that versus what you're 202 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 6: trying to accomplish right now with this current offense. 203 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. 204 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 3: I understand the question, Daryl. And obviously we need to 205 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 3: play better, we need to coach better. We're not getting 206 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 3: the results we want as a team, certainly as an offense, 207 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 3: so we look at everything in terms of what we're doing. 208 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 3: I don't know that it's fair just to say, well, 209 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 3: this is new or that's old like, we don't necessarily 210 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 3: look at it through that lens, other than to say 211 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 3: we want to have a productive offense, we want to 212 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 3: score points, We want to help this football team, So 213 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 3: we look at everything when it comes to putting our 214 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 3: guys in position to succeed. 215 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 6: And I want to ask you about the defense real quick. 216 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 6: They did make some plays yesterday. Are you at all 217 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 6: concerned that they he even though players after the game 218 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 6: talked about, Hey, we just have to worry about our 219 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 6: side of the ball and do our jobs. But are 220 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 6: you worried about any negative carryover from what's going on 221 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 6: with the offense maybe impacting those guys. 222 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, again, I understand that question. 223 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 3: I think with our locker room, with the people we 224 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 3: have in this building, we understand that everybody has a 225 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 3: role to play when you're trying to win on Sunday. 226 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 3: Like I mentioned before, it's the offense, it's the defense, 227 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 3: it's the special teams together so we win as a team, 228 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 3: we lose as a team. 229 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 2: That's just how we operate. 230 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 4: Yeah, Kevin, When you talk about the Deshaun like everyone 231 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 4: else can do some things better. At times, it looks 232 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 4: like he's got no chance, But does he need to 233 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 4: see the field better, does he need to get the 234 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 4: ball out quicker against the blitz? I mean, what kinds 235 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 4: of things can he do himself. 236 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 3: I wouldn't get into specifics necessarily, Mary Kay, but I 237 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 3: would just tell you he's committed to getting better for 238 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 3: this offense, just like myself and the coaches are committed 239 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 3: to giving our guys stuff that they can go execute 240 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 3: at a high level. I know on offense, a lot 241 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 3: gets made of the quarterback play. Certainly understand that, but 242 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 3: we look at this as what can our entire offense 243 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 3: do better? And it really starts with me. It starts 244 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 3: with our coaches making sure that these guys are in 245 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 3: position to succeed. 246 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,079 Speaker 1: Tight end Jordan Aikins was next. He spoke on how 247 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: to get things turned around offensively. 248 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 8: Jordan, it feels like on the offense, especially, there's been 249 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 8: a lot of miscommunications and you guys have said that 250 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 8: you guys have shot yourself in the foot a lot 251 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 8: for you as a player, what does it look like 252 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 8: cleaning that up and how do you get on the 253 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,839 Speaker 8: same page communication wise to make sure that this doesn't 254 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 8: continue to spiral and continue the way that it's going. 255 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 9: Just pre singat penalties, controlling what we can control, executing 256 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 9: the planes that are calling as well, and as far 257 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 9: as just the small things man lining upright a scuting 258 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 9: the plays and just you know, the ball. 259 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 8: As an offense, does it feel that you guys do 260 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 8: have a good grasp of what you want to do 261 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 8: offensively and it's just not happening or is there more 262 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 8: to for you guys to dig into and truly understand 263 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 8: it to make it a pure execution. 264 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 2: I feel like we just lack an execution. 265 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 9: You know, one play can determine what happens with the offense, 266 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 9: and you know, I just feel like everyone just needs 267 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 9: we just need to go back to the drawing board 268 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 9: and you know, come together and execute when I know 269 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 9: what's called, make the plays, and we got to block better. 270 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 2: We just got to be better overall as offense. 271 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, Jordan, you've known Deshaun for a long time. You've 272 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 4: seen him play a lot of ball. I'm just wondering, 273 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 4: you know, Kevin last night said I'm not making a 274 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,079 Speaker 4: change at quarterback. What are your thoughts on that and 275 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 4: how do you feel like DeShawn has been operating and 276 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 4: what needs to go better for I guess. 277 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 2: Everybody for one. You know, we got to do better 278 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 2: protect him. No quarterback is going to. 279 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 9: Do well and being sacked multiple times, we have to 280 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 9: make plays. There's been some drops as well. Can just 281 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 9: put the whole thing on DeShawn? You know, we do 282 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 9: have some plays that we wish we could take back, 283 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 9: but as an all, as an offense, you know, I've 284 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 9: been with DeShawn a long time and been with the Shawn. 285 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 2: I know the plays not dead. 286 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 9: So you know, if we can just bomb them a 287 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,319 Speaker 9: little more time and let them create plays and get 288 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 9: that ball in the air, you know, just we just 289 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 9: got to be better all over, you know, just come 290 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 9: down with catches and make plays with our legs as well. 291 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, Jordan, just you know, from the outside looking at 292 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 6: it just looks like this offense right now is completely broken, 293 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 6: whether from protection all the way through like the passing game. 294 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 6: So could you, I don't know, maybe just explain a 295 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 6: little bit why, uh, you know, what's been so difficult 296 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:56,319 Speaker 6: getting this going here and why things aren't as broken 297 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 6: as maybe they appear to be. 298 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 2: On that Ye. 299 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 9: All I can say is that we do have a 300 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,599 Speaker 9: lot of injuries.

Like I say, 304 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 9: we gotta we gotta protect that quarterback. We have to 305 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 9: run the ball, we have to catch the ball. We 306 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 9: just have to play football, good football. 307 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 2: Complimentary football. 308 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 9: Defense doing well, our special teams is doing pretty good, 309 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 9: and we just got to compliment that. 310 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 2: We got to come in and do our job as well. 311 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 2: You know. 312 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 9: So it's just not one person.

As a team, as an offense. 314 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 2: We have to do better. 315 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 6: And the concepts that Ken Dorsey and Kevin are running, 316 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 6: are these concepts that you were familiar with in your time, 317 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 6: your previous time with the Shawn Or is this been, 318 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 6: you know, something new for you as well. 319 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 2: Some's new, some is Houston. 320 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 9: You know, I think, you know, we're slowly getting there, 321 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 9: but for the most part, you know, this is Cleveland ball, 322 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 9: and you know, we're just trying to surround Deshaun with 323 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 9: playmakers that make plays for them. 324 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 2: So, you know, so I have to say, now, hey. 325 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 10: Jordans, just I guess overall with the offensive struggles and 326 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 10: you look at how you guys are having issues even 327 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 10: moving the ball yesterday.

You know, we 334 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 9: finally got a touchdown, and we just got to execute 335 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 9: it in the red zone. More thirty downs, more, especially 336 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 9: early downs, so we don't beat those tough situations on 337 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 9: thirty downs. 338 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 2: It's just it's like I say, it's the small things. 339 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 9: I think once we fix those small things, just this 340 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 9: offense would definitely get rolling. 341 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 10: Do you think that's the key? I mean, I know 342 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 10: the third down numbers for you guys have not been great. 343 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 10: They were bad yesterday again. But what you said there 344 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 10: is it just important to get more yards on first 345 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 10: and second down for you guys right now, do you 346 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 10: think that's your biggest challenge as an offense with converting 347 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 10: on those third downs? 348 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 9: Of course, you know, positive yards, you know they keep 349 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 9: you out of tough situation. So if we can, if 350 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 9: we can put together some big plays first, second down, 351 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 9: they keep us out of tough situations, and especially when 352 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 9: we get the third down, they'd get us in better 353 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 9: manageable situations. Instead of third and long, we'll be thirty two, 354 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 9: third and five. You know, there's just basic basic ball 355 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 9: and things that we have to turn around as q uh. 356 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, Jordan, when you see Deshaun getting blitzed as much 357 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 4: as he's getting blitzed and sacked on those blitzes, and 358 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 4: you know, the stunts and the games and different things 359 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 4: like that that are going on, is there anything more 360 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 4: that that he can do? I don't know. Can he 361 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 4: get rid of the ball quicker or do you guys 362 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 4: have to have more outlets for him? What can you 363 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,640 Speaker 4: guys do in the face of what teams are throwing at. 364 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 9: You that case, we can all we can do more 365 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 9: video study, you know, we can. We can have answers 366 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 9: for certain certain blixes and stunts that we do see. 367 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 9: We just at the end of the day, we have 368 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 9: to come together as offense. We definitely need to put 369 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 9: together some things as far as protection wise for Deshaun 370 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 9: and just let him beat. 371 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,400 Speaker 2: Deshaun make plays and play freely. You know not Timits. 372 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 9: So at the end of the day, we just we 373 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 9: just got to do our part and put everyone in 374 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 9: a situation. 375 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: When finally new Dad and cornerback Greg Newsom the Second 376 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,360 Speaker 1: talked about the defensive side of Sunday's loss to Washington. 377 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 5: Greg, how do you stay optimistic when it looked as 378 00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 5: bad as it did yesterday? And you guys are wondering for. 379 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 11: Because it's a long season one and for it there's 380 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 11: been teams that you know, make the playoffs going one 381 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,879 Speaker 11: for Also know where we're brothers, we're brotherhood. We know 382 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 11: what talent we got, we know how hard we work. 383 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 11: So you know, at the end of the day, as 384 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 11: long as we continue, uh to keep our head down, 385 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 11: keep working, we know change will change. 386 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 2: Change will be made on that field soon. So we 387 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 2: just got to continue to work. 388 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, Greg, just wondering about you guys having to watch 389 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 4: Denzel leave that game with a hamstring injury. How much 390 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 4: does it hurt you guys to have to lose your 391 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 4: number one cornerback that like like that in a game 392 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 4: And how much are you hoping that he can get 393 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 4: back for this Philly game? 394 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:43,360 Speaker 6: Uh? 395 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 11: First, you know the hope obviously we'll love him back. 396 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 11: But the hope is just that he's healthy. I hope that, 397 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 11: you know, he gets one hundred percent and this doesn't 398 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 11: you know, hurt him for the rest of the season. 399 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 11: But obviously it hurts to lose a guy like that. 400 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 11: Like I said, that's a guy that's irreplaceable. He is 401 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 11: the best corner in the NFL. So losing a guy 402 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 11: like that's hard. But you know, we work our tails off. 403 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 11: We got guys that are ready, you know, to step 404 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 11: in that role if need be. It's not gonna be 405 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 11: one guy that you know, fills the role of a 406 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 11: Denzel Ward, but you know, we got a lot of 407 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 11: guys that will be able to get the job done. 408 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 10: Hey, Greg, I know, like Miles mentioned today that you 409 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 10: guys as players are kind of like always talking and 410 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 10: trying to talk out your problems. But he made the 411 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 10: comment that, like the time for talk is basically done. 412 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 10: People have to go out there and do their jobs now. 413 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 10: So I guess it's not like an overall sentiment with 414 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 10: with you guys as a defense, like is it almost 415 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 10: to the point that there's nothing left to say in 416 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 10: those kind of internal conversations. 417 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 11: I wouldn't say that I would say, it's just more 418 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 11: so what we are saying, we have to apply it 419 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 11: on the field. 420 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 2: So I think there's definitely still. 421 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 11: A little chatter, like it's not going to be a lot, 422 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:53,880 Speaker 11: but at the end of the day, you know what 423 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 11: we say, there has to be actions behind your words. 424 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 11: So I think that's kind of our mindset. 425 00:19:58,800 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 2: Now. 426 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 11: It's not a lot to say anymore, but at the 427 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 11: end of the day, we got to go out there. 428 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 11: Everybody gotta do there one to eleven to try to 429 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 11: get get this team, you know, off this losing street. 430 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 5: Greg, there's still some mistackles yesterday. Why do you think 431 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 5: they're still an issue. 432 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 11: I wouldn't consider it an issue, mister NFL. We're gonna 433 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 11: miss tackles. Like I said, what you try to do 434 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,479 Speaker 11: is minimize those tackles, and what you try to do 435 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 11: is kind of get the other guys running to the ball, 436 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 11: Like I got to do a better job at running 437 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 11: to the ball, because at the end of the day, 438 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 11: you're gonna miss some tackles. Like those guys get paid 439 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 11: a lot of money and a lot of those running 440 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 11: backs and receivers are very shifty, So you know, at 441 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 11: the end of the day. It's yes, the mistackle is bad, 442 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 11: but it's it's more so the guys running to the 443 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 11: ball to you know, nullify the extra yards after a mistackle. 444 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 11: So I think that's kind of our focus. Like, obviously 445 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 11: we can tackle better at one on one, but we 446 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 11: got to find a way to get guys to the 447 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 11: party so that if he does cut or something that 448 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 11: we were hitting him right on contact after. 449 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, Greg on, you guys haven't even really necessarily gotten 450 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 4: into the well, you haven't gotten into your division games yet. 451 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 4: You haven't seen Lamar, you haven't seen Joe, you haven't 452 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 4: gotten anywhere near that grueling stretch at the end. And 453 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:17,120 Speaker 4: yet the defense is struggling with some teams that you guys, 454 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 4: you know, really should have beaten. So how how do 455 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 4: you regroup and make sure that you guys start to 456 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,360 Speaker 4: look more like the number one defense that you were 457 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 4: last year? 458 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, just continue to work hard. 459 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 11: Like I said, I think at times we are playing 460 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 11: an unbelievable ball. What it comes down to is eliminating 461 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 11: some of those explosives, some of those big plays. So 462 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 11: you know, that's that's our job is try to eliminate explosives. 463 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 11: You know, the stats kind of are skewed when it 464 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 11: comes to that, Like, if we can find a way 465 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 11: to get some of those big plays out, then then 466 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 11: it will start looking good. We're finally starting to get 467 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 11: some turnovers and things like that. But at the end 468 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 11: of the day, we just got to continue to work hard, 469 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 11: continue to trust in each other, and I think, you 470 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 11: know when it's time. Obviously we're focused on this next 471 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,479 Speaker 11: opponent right now. And at the end of the day, 472 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 11: it's NFL. Everyone's great, you know, the Giants are a 473 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 11: great team, the Raiders. Why because it's the NFL. Anybody 474 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 11: can win. So we just got to find a way 475 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 11: to make make those key plays.
