1
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: And a happy Friday to you and yours from the

2
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 1: Dollar Bowl here in Barrea, Ohio. On Jason Gives, he's

3
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: Andrew Gribble. This is the best podcast available. We're getting

4
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 1: ready for Browns and Bills Sunday at one o'clock at

5
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: First Energy Stadium, the Browns returning home five of the

6
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: last eight here at home. GRIBs and a chance for

7
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: this team to really change the narrative from what we've

8
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,279
Speaker 1: seen the first eight games of the two thousand nineteen season. Yeah,

9
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: and it's probably gonna take more than one win to

10
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: change the narrative. You gotta win, if you gotta string

11
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: a few of these together, because I mean, if we're

12
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: gonna even entertain the thought of contending for the postseason,

13
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: you've got to win the next three at least to

14
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: at least start getting in that direction. And really, you

15
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: can't lose any of these games the rest of the

16
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: way if you want to have a chance at the playoffs,

17
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: especially after what the Raiders did last night. They're looking

18
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: a pretty good wild card team as well. And the

19
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: team you're facing this weekend would be the top wild

20
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: card team in the Buffalo Bills right now, there six

21
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: and two. They're a really good team and they do

22
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: things in a way that isn't exactly pretty. They've beaten

23
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: a lot of bad teams, but they're beating these teams

24
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: and that's why they sit where they are at now

25
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: UH and in a great position to to get back

26
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. So the Browns just simply need to

27
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: win odd game before we talk about multiple ones. But

28
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna take a lot more than just one weekend

29
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: to kind of wash off the stink of the first

30
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: half of the season. And it means not beating yourself.

31
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: And that's been the Browns primary opponent here for the

32
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: last three or four weeks. Yeah, and it's you. And

33
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 1: that's what makes last week so tough to swallow because

34
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: you did all the right things that you hadn't been

35
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: doing the previous week's low one penalties, no offenseive penalties

36
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: at all, UH, no turnovers, dominated time of position. You

37
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: did all the things you're supposed to win. You just

38
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: didn't capitalize in the red zone. And this is a

39
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills team that's going to make you pay for that,

40
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: because not only are they good defensively UH and limiting

41
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: what you're gonna be able to do, especially through the air.

42
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: They're the best red zone offense in the NFL, So

43
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: they don't get in the red zone much, but when

44
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: they do, they make the most of it and that's

45
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: what's made them so good. Uh And I don't think

46
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: the Brown's red zone defense has been particularly good this year.

47
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: So you have to um both ends of the field.

48
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: Bottle bottle up those scoring opportunities and make the most

49
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: of the ones you get well, and you talk about

50
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: making the most of your opportunities. The Buffalo Bills two

51
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: losses have been to teams that are five or better

52
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: Philadelphia and New England. Your wins have come against the Jets,

53
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: the Giants, the Bengals, the Titans, the Dolphins in Washington,

54
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: arguably five of the worst six teams in the National

55
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: Football League. So the Bills have made the most of

56
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 1: their their opportunities. And the offense for the Bills a

57
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: little so so. But man, that defense is pretty impressive

58
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: and it starts with the way that they limit the

59
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: passing game and that will become a channel for the

60
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: Browns on Sunday. Yeah, it's largely a no name defense.

61
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: They're big players. Trade Avious White from l S u

62
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: the cornerback he's he was on ESPN's UH midway point

63
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 1: All NFL Team. He's a very very good player. And

64
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: but they just play such discipline, sound defense, and I

65
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: think Freddy Kitchens talked about that earlier this week. All

66
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: these guys are in the right place right time, um

67
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: playing within themselves. A familiar face over in Buffalo who's

68
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: really made the most of his second chance in the

69
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: NFL is Jordan Poyer. I mean that he's become one

70
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: of the better safeties in the NFL after spending time

71
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: here in Cleveland for the first four years. Micah Hide

72
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: alongside him as well. If you're gonna have success against

73
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: this Bill's team, it's gonna be running the ball with

74
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: both Nick chev and Kareem Hunt, especially up the middle

75
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: against their defense, which is what the Eagles did so

76
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: well and dominating the Bills a few weeks ago. Yeah,

77
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: and there are opportunities, but a very good past defense,

78
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: really really good up front on the defensive line, and

79
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: we have definitely struggled a little bit of times with

80
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: that this year. On the offensive side for Buffalo, UH,

81
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: it starts with Josh Allen and Allen with ten touchdowns,

82
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: seven interceptions on the year, has done a good job,

83
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: I guess, managing the game. And you hate to say, well,

84
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: he's a good game manager, but he's done what they've

85
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: asked of him. He has shown some flashes, slowly but

86
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: surely improving from that rookie year. And I don't know

87
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: if he's the quarterback of the future, but right now

88
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: he's doing exactly what they need him to do. Yeah.

89
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: You know, it's really interesting because we we obviously talked

90
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: a lot about Josh Allen going is that two eighteen?

91
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: Uh you know it was he was linked to the

92
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: Browns for a while. Uh. The more that we learned

93
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: about that whole draft process, the less that we are

94
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: to believe that he was ever in the mix for

95
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: the Browns. But I just didn't anticipate him being this

96
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: kind of player. And I'm not saying I didn't think

97
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: he'd be good. I just didn't think that the most

98
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: accurate comparison to him would be Cam Newton. But that's

99
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: kind of what he is. I mean, that's that's really

100
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: what he's become. He's he's absolutely dangerous running the ball

101
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: inside the twenty. He's he can scramble and pick up

102
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: yards that way as well. And the knock on him

103
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: is is like Cam Newton, sometimes the accuracy just isn't there,

104
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: and I think that, But but the fact that he's

105
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: playing at this level and winning at this level, I

106
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: would I would be honest and say that surprised me.

107
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: I just didn't expect that this was the kind of

108
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: quarterback you become. I thought he was more just a

109
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 1: big armed, big guy in the pocket, But really he's

110
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: Outside of Lamar Jackson, I would say he's the second

111
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: most effective running quarterback in the league right now. Yeah,

112
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: four touchdowns rushing on the year, two hundred forty seven

113
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: yards rushing, uh averaging over four yards that carry, and

114
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: like you said, inside the red zone, a guy that

115
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: the Browns are going to have to account for on

116
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: that Bill's offense in terms of a runner more so

117
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: than a passer. Yeah, you know, and that's something that

118
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: they can clean up after last week. I didn't I

119
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: don't think anyone was expecting Brandon Allen to run the

120
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: way he did last week. He only did it a

121
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: few times, but it was effective when he did it.

122
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: And I think that that that can always that can

123
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: break even a good defense. We saw it last week

124
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: with the Patriots and and the Ravens. They even they

125
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: couldn't contain Lamar Jackson. Uh. And they've played so well

126
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: defensively all year. It takes some discipline, uh, and it

127
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: just you just have to be aware of it. I

128
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: think it's going to be more a part of the

129
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: game plan this week that maybe it was last week

130
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: against Brandon Allen. We didn't know much of anything. But

131
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: when you throw in Devin Singletary, who's really kind of

132
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: coming on now for them, they're they're getting their pieces

133
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: together on an offense that really I don't think many

134
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: people were excited about in the off season, and really

135
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: statistically they're still not that great. It's just their ability

136
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: to score when they need to. All Right, taking a

137
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: look at our football team. Some news here in the

138
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: last uh last six hours, I guess you could say,

139
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: And that was rumored last night on Thursday Night Football

140
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: and confirmed this morning when the team put out the

141
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: official statement. But J. C. Trader going to remain in

142
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: Cleveland Brown a good deal for him, I think a

143
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: good deal for this football team. And now you've got

144
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: two cornerstones, two pillars on that offensive line that are

145
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: going to be here for a little bit in Joel

146
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: Betonio and j you see Trader. But for Trader, a

147
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: well deserved contract extension. Yeah, and he's earned it in

148
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: every sense of the word. And I think that he

149
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: The thing about Trader too, is he's gotten better. I

150
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: think that that's the first year I don't think was

151
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: his best year. I think he would be the first

152
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: to admit that he got bigger. Uh And and he's

153
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: played the position really well and effective. And for the

154
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: Browns from a big picture picture standpoint, there's a couple

155
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: of things I thought of. First off, the moment that

156
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: you were ready to move on from Corbett, to me,

157
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: this became a priority because I think Corbett was potentially

158
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: being groomed as the successor at that position, but it

159
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: just didn't work out. He wasn't taking it on as

160
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: well as they liked, and they had to trade him

161
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: for a pick and they had to move on. Secondly,

162
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: this eliminates a position on the offensive line that you

163
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: have to address this offseason, where we would anticipate the

164
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: Browns are gonna be addressing multiple spots on the offensive line.

165
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: You don't want to go into an off season having

166
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: to address more positions than you do the positions you

167
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: have occupied. And I think at least now you know,

168
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: in a perfect world, I think you've got it set

169
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: up where if if Wyatt Teller becomes the kind of

170
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: guy that you maybe think he can be, you've got

171
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: that interior taken care of, and then maybe you start

172
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: looking at what you can do at the tackle position

173
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: to its Obviously, both both ends have have struggled this year,

174
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: so I think that that that's why I deal like this.

175
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: You like to get this done now. You don't want

176
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: to let him get out there and test free agency.

177
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: The Browns dealt with that a few years back, letting

178
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: Alex Mac test free agency. He was obviously gone. Centers

179
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: are very important around the league, UH and highly valued.

180
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: And I think it's it hasn't gone unoticed that Trender

181
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 1: was playing in the at the minimum top half of

182
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 1: the league, if not top ten. Look at Trader, look

183
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: at Batonio. Your thoughts on what Greg Robinson did last

184
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 1: week back from the one game where he was benched. Uh.

185
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: Todd Monkin said it yesterday. We hope that he's learned

186
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: from his mistakes and learned what is expected of him

187
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 1: from the team and from a league aspect, and you

188
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 1: have to hope that that left tackle solidified now for

189
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. You mentioned it, and we'll

190
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 1: get to your one on one. You sat down with

191
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 1: Wyatt Teller, former Buffalo Bill I'm going up against his

192
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: former team coming up this Sunday. Uh. Your thoughts on

193
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: how that offensive line played now with some pieces and

194
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: parts moving around the last couple of weeks. You know

195
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: it might be premature to say, but I think it's

196
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: just when you hear guys talk this week about the

197
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: offensive line, it seems like this is what they're gonna

198
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: lock into for the rest of the year. I think

199
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 1: that's the vibe because I think when you do three

200
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: consecutive weeks with a different piece in there, I think

201
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,719
Speaker 1: that can get old in a hurry. So I think

202
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: now they at least seem locked in with this group

203
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: being it. I thought Gregor Robinson was better. I wouldn't

204
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: say he was at the level that he was the

205
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: previous year when he played really well. UH. And I

206
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 1: thought Teller had some good moments. I also thought some

207
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: of his mistakes or or issues were communication related. Uh.

208
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: He had a really tough first opponent, and Derek Wolfe. Uh,

209
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: he'll be going up against some familiar faces this week

210
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: and Buffalo. It's but I think that Teller was brought

211
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: in obviously, not as a guy that they thought they

212
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: could plug in right away. And I think that to

213
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 1: give up the picks that the Browns apparently did, that

214
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 1: there's some vision with him maybe toward the future. He

215
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: started seven games for the Bills last year. He's going

216
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: to start again moving forward with the Browns. I mean

217
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: this is someone I think you can hope is your

218
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,719
Speaker 1: guy at that position for a while now. And that's

219
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: why this is a big opportunity for him moving forward,

220
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: no question about it. Uh, you did get a chance

221
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: to sit down with Wyatt Teller, and uh, here's a

222
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: man that plays a little bit of an attitude as well.

223
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: You can you can expect a little. He was mixing

224
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 1: it up nicely with the Denver defense last Sunday, but

225
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: held his own And before we get to the interview,

226
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: your takeaways after hanging out with him for a little,

227
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's a fun guy and I think

228
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 1: that he's he's got a personality that that makes him

229
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: easy to root for. I just think it was interesting

230
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,599
Speaker 1: because he discusses a little bit. But the transition that

231
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: he had to make from left guard to right guard

232
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: is something that people think is just outo matic because

233
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: you always hear about these guards moving all over the place.

234
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: Usually those guys are veterans, and I think that that's

235
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: why Teller in just his second year, this took a

236
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 1: little bit of time for him to get worked in

237
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: into the rotation. Uh. And and now it just looks

238
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: like he could be a guy at that position moving forward.

239
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: And again I'm rooting for him because that makes sure

240
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: offseason a little bit easier if you've got right guard

241
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: taken care of. All right, our own and Andrew Gribble,

242
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, sat down with Why I tell you

243
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: you have a listen all right? Why it's kind of

244
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: looking back on your first start with the Browns. What

245
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 1: did you like about it? What are you looking to

246
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: work on this week? Well, I mean, uh, you know

247
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: there was ups and downs. Um, you know, inconsistencies with

248
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: the with the ways I play. You know, I'd play

249
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: really well at times and then other times you know it,

250
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: uh it almost looked like, you know, what what's he

251
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,599
Speaker 1: doing out there? You know? But you know it's just

252
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: you gotta find those, uh, find the consistencies and you know,

253
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: work on the things that you didn't do right and

254
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: you know, move forward. How much of a tough first

255
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: test was Derek Wolf out there? He's a good player. Uh,

256
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: he's fast, he's smart, he's strong. Um, you know, all

257
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: props to him, you know. Uh, you know my first

258
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: start last year was against uh Leonard Williams, So you

259
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: know that was that was kind of a crazy guy

260
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: to go against two So you know, with that in mind,

261
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: I mean it's iron Sharpen's iron. You know. You see

262
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 1: these these great players all around the league. You know,

263
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: there's no there's none of them that aren't that aren't good.

264
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, going to number ninety five, Derek, well,

265
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: if he's a he's a good player too. For you,

266
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: what's this transition been like? And I know you were

267
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: making the move from left to right? How how did

268
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: how did that go in the first part of the season?

269
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 1: How comfortably feeling right now? Um? I mean that was

270
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: the first substantial playing time I've had a right guard. Um,

271
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: so it was really like I said, the in uh,

272
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: you know, inconsistencies showed, you know, things that I was

273
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: comfortable on my left. You know, I'm not so comfortable

274
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: on my right, so I gotta be able to, um,

275
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: you know, make the changes and uh, you know, fix

276
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: whatever was hold me back or lagging a little bit.

277
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: So you've never done the position, even college or anything

278
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: like that. I did a little bit of right guard,

279
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: you know, uh in the NFL, But UM, I'm talking

280
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:01,599
Speaker 1: about like substantial like seventy plays, like not not just

281
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: ten or you know, twenty or something like that, like

282
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: substantial playing time. So what have you learned from kind

283
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: of James camping and the system he does and and

284
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: picking up the terminology? Yeah, I mean a lot of

285
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: the coaching techniques and uh, you know, fundamentals are a

286
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: lot similar to um, you know what I was taught

287
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: last year in Buffalo with UH, you know, coaching Steel. Um,

288
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: you know, differences. You know, obviously each coach is gonna

289
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: have his differences, but um, you know a little different

290
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: than you know what I came from with UH with

291
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: coach Johnson and Buffalo. So you know, it's it's learning

292
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: how he wants it, doing it the way he needs it,

293
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: and you know, trying to trying to be the best

294
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: to do it. Looking back on it. How how valuable

295
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: were those starts you've got in Buffalo and how much

296
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 1: of that kind of set you up for this second year? Yeah,

297
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,719
Speaker 1: I know, I'm I'm always I'm always thankful to that,

298
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: to that group that uh that helped me with that

299
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,599
Speaker 1: or give me the opportunity, you know, and you know,

300
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: also get an opportunity here. It's i mean special. You know,

301
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen like that for everybody. And you know,

302
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: to come in here and you know, compete and play

303
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: a little bit, it's it's a good feeling. And uh,

304
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 1: I'm you know, just ready to you know, get better

305
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: each week. What's the tough as part of joining a

306
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: starting group kind of mid stream midway through the season

307
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: and what what what is it put on your shoulders? Yeah,

308
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, communications huge. Those guys are starting

309
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: to get a little bit of chemistry together and then

310
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: to be thrown in there. I mean with injuries, it's

311
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: gonna happen naturally. With with uh, you know, changes, it's

312
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: gonna happen naturally. But um, you know, it takes time

313
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: to get you know, chemistry. So it's not like we're

314
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: picking up from zero. I was with them for the

315
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: first seven weeks. But those starts the game in game

316
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: stuff is so important. So um, you know, picking up

317
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: where uh you know the guys who weren't in there,

318
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: you know left off is is important. I know his blockers,

319
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: you guys just blocked for rivers back there. But how

320
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: much excitement is there now that there's a backfield now

321
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: with Nick Chubb and Cream Hunt back there for you

322
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: guys blocking There was always a backfield back there there.

323
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: We have great players, yes, uh, Cream Hunt is he's

324
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: the next level and so is Nick. But um, you know,

325
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: our even our secondary backs are amazing, amazing running backs

326
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: and a testament to you know, they don't get their

327
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: name called all the time, yet here they are working

328
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: their butts off and uh you know, doing everything at that.

329
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: So it is nice to have you know, uh Krim

330
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: coming back. He's a playmaker and he's an amazing guy. Um,

331
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: amazing player. So you got to you know, you're you're

332
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: excited about it. But I was also excited last week

333
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: when I was you know, Don Trail and everything buddy

334
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: like that. So you know, it's it's special whoever you

335
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: got back there. I know it was kind of a

336
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: world when when you got traded here, but how much

337
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: of you kind of settled in and made this made

338
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: this year home so far? Yeah, so uh, like you said,

339
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: you said perfectly. You know, it's kind of like I

340
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of time at home, so really

341
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: the bye week was the only time I really got

342
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: to like really settle in and get everything you know,

343
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: uh um at my apartment, but you know, settling into here,

344
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: settling into the community, settling into everything. I mean, everybody's

345
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: so nice. Everybody is so welcome. Um, it's nice. And

346
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: then to actually get into the building and uh, you know,

347
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: you know, have camaraderie with all the guys. Um, you know,

348
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: doors are open and it's so nice. You know, it's

349
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: it's a great feeling to have you know, um, you know, welcoming,

350
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: welcoming guys. Um. So it's always nice. It's still surreal

351
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: that you'll be going up against the bills this weekend

352
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: and what what can you what can you what do

353
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: you know about them? For for defensively, it is it's

354
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: it's surreal um that uh, you know, it comes back

355
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: to here. But I I knew it, you know, it

356
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: was it wasn't marked on my calendar by any means,

357
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: but it was it was an important game, you know

358
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: it was Um, you know, I got traded from one

359
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: team to another, and uh it's important to uh to

360
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: play well. And just are you surprised about what they've

361
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: been able to do six and two so far this season? Oh,

362
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: I mean it's a testament to what coach mcdermost doing.

363
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: I mean, he's I think he's a great player. I think, uh,

364
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: I mean a great coach. Um. You know, they have

365
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: great players, they have great leaders, and uh, you know

366
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: it's I saw it last year. You know, they went

367
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: from a playoff team and then a little bit of

368
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: a dip last year. Um whatever that may be a

369
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: new younger quarterback, younger linebacker, whatever it is. They're hitting.

370
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: They're playing well now and I'm happy for pregame. Who's

371
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: the first person you're looking for is to meet up with? There?

372
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, probably whoever you know it is out there.

373
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: I'll probably say hey too, but uh, you know, uh

374
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: texta Josh I think this past week and was like, uh,

375
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: you know, it's just uh, it's it's weird. How you know,

376
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: I've I wanted to know one to touch you, never

377
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: to touch you, And now it's like if you get

378
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: sacked a little bit. I'm not too mad, but just giving.

379
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: I want everybody to stay healthy on the bill, on

380
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 1: the bills, and uh, you know, I wish the best

381
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: to uh to my friends. I want to thank why

382
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: at Teller for his time. And you know, we talked

383
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: about the offensive line a little bit. We talked about J. C.

384
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: Trader's contract extension. Uh. The other big edition this week

385
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: is the return of Kareem Hunt and how will the

386
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:38,239
Speaker 1: Browns use him on Sunday? Uh. It could be one

387
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 1: of those where he hops right into the fire, could

388
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: be one of those where he gets some carries here

389
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: and there, but nonetheless going to be fascinating to see

390
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 1: how another playmaker is able to be integrated into this offense. Yeah,

391
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: part of me wondered last week. And I know that

392
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: this isn't why the Browns did this, but part of

393
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,719
Speaker 1: me wondered. With Nick Chuck playing forty five snaps don

394
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: Chell here playing thirty, I wondered, was I thinking, is

395
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: it going to be like this next week? But with

396
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb playing forty five snaps and Kareem Hunt playing

397
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: thirty snaps, that's I don't know if that's going to

398
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 1: be the case, but that would make you feel pretty

399
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: good if those guys are rotating back there and feeling fresh.

400
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: And I think as much as people were disappointed with

401
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: the lack of Nick Chubb being on the field in

402
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: certain situations, I do think he was looking really good

403
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: in that fourth quarter, and I think that there's some

404
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: plays into that with with keeping him as fresh as possible,

405
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: especially in altitude. I think the more intriguing part of

406
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: this is if there's going to be situations where they're

407
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 1: both on the field. I think that's what's more interesting

408
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: to me than if you're gonna be rotating them. But

409
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: I do expect Kareem Hunt to have an impact in

410
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: this game, especially hearing from players, hearing from Freddie. It's

411
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: just a matter of how they use him. I think

412
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: he is a Chubb's a pretty good receiver. I think

413
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: Hunt's a better receiver. I think Chubb's developed, though, into

414
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: a top five back, and that's why you really can't

415
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 1: take him off the field. I would not expect a

416
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: decrease in Chubb snaps. I would expect, at the minimum

417
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 1: what he did last week in Denver, Alright, switching sides

418
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: to the defensive side of the football. Olivier Vernon has

419
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 1: not practiced this week, not looking very hopeful for Sunday.

420
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: How do you replace him on that defensive line? It's

421
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: it sounds like it's gonna be I would imagine Chad

422
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: Chad Thomas. I mean, I think that's the more likely guy.

423
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: Potentially Chris Smith uh getting getting more opportunities, but you

424
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: really don't have any other true defensive ends to work

425
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: in there. It's a big loss, and I think Freddy

426
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: Kitchens made that pretty clear on Thursday. Usually it's a

427
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: he's the first to be like next man up, but

428
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: he he admitted that losing Vernon, especially the way he

429
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: was playing the last few weeks, Uh, it's gonna be big.

430
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: And I think it's more importantly it's more of a

431
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 1: worry for me against the run than it is against

432
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: the pass, and I think that that's where Vernon had

433
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: been uh so good. Hopefully this is just a one

434
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 1: week thing. Hopefully you get him back for the Steelers game,

435
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: but even then that might be a reach. Uh. But

436
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: the this coaching staff has been really big on Chad Thomas,

437
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: so I think this is a big opportunity for a

438
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,360
Speaker 1: guy who took a lot of heat his rookie year

439
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: for not really getting on the field, but he's been solid.

440
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: He he's a reason why you were able to trade

441
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 1: inn oar davery that you chose Chad Thomas as your

442
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: your backup rotation defensive end. So let's let's see it.

443
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: Let's let's see. Let's see the kind of player I

444
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: think he He made, made a couple of plays in

445
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: the Baltimore game, he's gotten a sack. Uh. He's someone

446
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: that I think that they have confidence that will fill

447
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 1: this role nicely. All right at the safety spot. Good

448
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: to get to Marius Randall back, especially with Eric Murray

449
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 1: out and obviously everything that went down with your made

450
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: white Head who's no longer with a football team. Uh.

451
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: A lot going to be expected of Randall, and even

452
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: more expected of Morgan Burnett, who continues to see an

453
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 1: increase in plays weekend and weekend. Yeah, he's played every

454
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: snap since the bye week. Uh, and so he he

455
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 1: went from being someone who was maybe being used about

456
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: twenties snaps the game to every snap. The one thing

457
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,719
Speaker 1: that maybe hasn't been discussed enough, but it could affect

458
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: the ability of this defense to go with three safeties.

459
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,479
Speaker 1: You have another guy out there and Justin Burrs, who

460
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: I think they really like uh and can play out there.

461
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: Shelter red Wine might also get some more defensive steps now.

462
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: But when you look at this Bill's offense and what

463
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 1: they do well, maybe this is another game where you

464
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: see three linebackers on the field. That would mean more

465
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: Darius Taylor. So it's something to keep it on. Maybe

466
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: this is a week you break out a Taki taki

467
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: for a little bit of defense, but you might not

468
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: be as committed to to to three corners because you

469
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,959
Speaker 1: barely had to play three corners last week against Denver. Uh.

470
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: So this is gonna be a big one for the

471
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 1: front seven, I think. More so, I think the secondary

472
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: is gonna be fine. If the Browns are to win

473
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, they must do what

474
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: I would say, out rush the Bills, because I think

475
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: if the Bills are able to control this game on

476
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: the ground, uh and and kind of get Devin Singletary

477
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: going and get his his yards per cary ridiculous. He's

478
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 1: over like six or seven yards per carry on the season.

479
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: I think that would be indicative of the Bills controlling

480
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: this game and and and riding it out and winning

481
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,719
Speaker 1: it in ugly fashion. I think of the Browns out

482
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: rush the Bills. That tells me that they've found a

483
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: way to control this game, maximize Nick Chubb, Kareem hunt

484
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: and capitalize on the Reds and opportunity. This is a

485
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: big one for for the Brown's ground game. Well, it

486
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: is a must win. They are all must wins basically

487
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: from here on out. The final eight games of the

488
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: two thousand nineteen season start on Sunday against Buffalo. For

489
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,000
