1
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: I do look at the roster and what we have

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: and the coaching staff. We should win games. We had

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: to performed though. We're gonna hold ourselve to the high

4
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: standard no matter what happens, and I'm defense gonna do

5
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: what they do and last time I heard they can't

6
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: win at telescope points. This is the Cleveland Browns Preview Show,

7
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: your chance to get an in depth preview of the

8
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: week ahead in Maria. You're listening to the University Hospitals

9
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns Radio Network. Here are your hosts, Kim Carmen

10
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: named Gerard Cherry. Get you for week eleven across the

11
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: NFL slate in your Cleveland Browns. Going from one extreme

12
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: opposite to the other. Is a tough week down in Miami.

13
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: They turned their attention to the Buffalo Bills, and certainly

14
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: the polar opposite comes to weather. We'll get to that

15
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: coming up right here on the Cleveland Browns Preview Show

16
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: in the University Hospitals Cleveland Browns Radio Network. I'm at

17
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: Fontana filling in for Ken Carman this evening. So happy

18
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: to be joined by Gerard Sherry and certainly the polar

19
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: opposites job when it comes to the weather situation, but

20
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: consistent thing is the two good football teams that the

21
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: Browns have back to back ex certainly a tough one

22
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: last week in Miami and certainly a very tough opponent

23
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: at home for the Buffalo Bills, as the Browns will

24
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: be traveling on the road exactly, and you're gonna find

25
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: a Buffalo's team, Bill's team rather that is angry, that's upset,

26
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: that is distraught because they did what they gave a

27
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: game away against the Minnesota Vikes. Granted it was probably

28
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: the best football game of the season, no doubt about it.

29
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: But with that, Matt, this the idea that you're gonna

30
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: find a Buffalo Bills team that's hungry, a Buffalo Bill's

31
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: team that has revenge on his mind. So when you

32
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: have situations like this, what do you have to do

33
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: with a football team? Your mentality for the Browns has

34
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: to be that we have to surpass their level of intensity.

35
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: And granted, what took place in Miami will leave one

36
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: down cast it, but you can't stay at that place.

37
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: You have to rise to the occasion and understand that

38
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: you still have an opportunity. There is still a chance

39
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 1: if you win this game on Sunday that you're you're

40
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: not out of the mix, You're still in the hunt.

41
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: You have an opportunity to still get something done this season,

42
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: but you have to do it on Sunday. You're doing

43
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: again another team talking about Miami, the same thing with Buffalo.

44
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: A f C playoff, contending type teams, good football teams

45
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: in a lot of different areas, and then of course

46
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: you mixed in the opposite of the weather, which we'll

47
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: get to coming up in just a little bit. But

48
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: a lot of things on the plate for the Browns

49
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: this week is they get ready to travel up to Buffalo,

50
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: but we get ready for four downs first dry. Not

51
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,399
Speaker 1: exactly how you want to open up the second half

52
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: of the season. With a tough thirty nine the seventeen

53
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: loss in the hands of Miami last week. What went wrong?

54
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: Some some issues again when it comes to stop in

55
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: the run, running the football, some issues on defense. What

56
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: were your biggest takeaways from that Miami game. Man, I'm

57
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: gonna really make it simple. I don't think there's anything complex.

58
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: I don't think there's an issue with the scheme. I

59
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: don't think there was an issue with the players that

60
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: are being called the issue was players were flat out fatigue,

61
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: flat out not ready to go. And that's on the players.

62
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: You have to have your mind right when you take

63
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: a bye. You cannot use that as an opportunity to

64
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: completely check out of football. You have to stay in shape,

65
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: you have to stay cognisitive of your responsibilities. And I

66
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: heard multiple guys say, hey, we just messed up or

67
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: I was tired, and I get that, understand that, but

68
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: you cannot allow yourself to get to a place to

69
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: where you're not prepared. And granted it was extreme situation

70
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: where you find yourself dealing with a hundred and one

71
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: degree heat, I get that, Barbet, but you're a professional,

72
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: so you must prepare for everything. Just like this week,

73
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna be in another end of the spectrum where

74
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: you may see six ft of snow over the on

75
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: you as you sit on a bench. But the whole

76
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: point is I think it was really simple, nothing complex.

77
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: That it was a situation where the heat got the

78
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: best of guys, and that boy could have actually came

79
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: at the worst time because guys simply weren't prepared to

80
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: deal with it from a conditioning factor, well, especially with

81
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: how Miami was doing some things where they weren't quick scores,

82
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: and you know, again stopping from time to Tom Brown's

83
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: offense quick the defense just getting run out. And coach

84
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: Stefanski did speak about trying to rotate guys and hydration

85
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: during the week, but mother nature can be undefeated from

86
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: time to time. Drive and I think it doesn't matter

87
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: how much you drank or how much you rotated guys.

88
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: Guys got tired in that game, and it really showed

89
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,799
Speaker 1: there at the end. No, it certainly did. And whenever

90
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: you see situation where our offensive linemen are losing one

91
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: on one battles and our deepens up front is losing

92
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: one on battles one on one battles, you know something

93
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: that's not right. And that took place throughout the entirety

94
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: of the game. So that's the situation right there. Just

95
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: speaks to the idea that they never recovered of dealing

96
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: with the hundred and one heat index versus eighty one

97
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: and what they was dealing with on the sideline for

98
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. So give credit to the Dolphins, one for

99
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: creating the stadium that gives him that competitive advantage, but

100
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: also give credit to the Dolphins for understanding this is

101
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: how you wear a team down to take advantage of

102
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: the situations that they had due to mother nature. We

103
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: move on second, pretty big day to today DRAWD with

104
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,119
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson back and officially able to start practicing today.

105
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: Of course, as we know, not eligible to play until

106
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: December five when they take on Houston, but a couple

107
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: of weeks of practice, they're still need to get you

108
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: Kobe Bursett ready. What's that divide in your opinion, Drive,

109
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: what should that look like if Bursette is still gonna play,

110
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: but getting Watson ready for when he comes back? All right, now,

111
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: you still have to, in my opinion, pretend as if

112
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: Watson doesn't exist. And it's one of the reasons I

113
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: said earlier when we start the show, Matt, this is

114
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: a playoff game on Sunday. You don't win this football

115
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: game on Sunday is highly highly highly highly unlikely you

116
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: make a run for the playoffs, and your season is

117
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: potentially when more unlikely. Over with, So with that in mind,

118
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: I can't play around with the idea or work in

119
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: someone worried about tomorrow when I have to deal with today.

120
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: So in my mind, you continue to do what Jacoby

121
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: has been doing as a starter, and give him every

122
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: rip you can possibly give him, because he's gonna be

123
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: the one who has to take the football field and

124
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: Dobbs as well. You can't afford to give those rips

125
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: to Deshin to get him acclimated. Right now, let's do

126
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: or die. So you have to give them guys who

127
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: will actually be able to play, the opportunity to prepare

128
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: the best way they possibly can. And then, well, how

129
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: do you do that by giving them all the reps?

130
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: Certainly I had one thousand percent agree. Next up down,

131
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: we take a look at those Buffalo Bills dried a

132
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: very good football team, but a couple of weird things

133
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: when it comes to Josh Allen. In his first sixties

134
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: seven NFL games, he had never thrown two interceptions in

135
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter or overtime. Now he's done that in

136
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: two of his last three games. He's also never thrown

137
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: two interceptions in the red zone in a game in

138
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: still Sunday, of course, that epic game against Minnesota, and

139
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: again in his last six quarters, six interceptions just one touchdown.

140
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: But the Bill still second in scoring in the league,

141
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: first in offensive yards. We know how good Stefon Diggs

142
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: is We know that really just the offense that is

143
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: set up with it. He's battling that elbow injury as well.

144
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: You know, Devin Singletary. They can run the football, I

145
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: believe from time to time. And then you stare over

146
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: there and you look at von Miller on defense. That's

147
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: certainly a tough thing to match up with. From Brown standpoint,

148
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: it is good Denzel Ward back in the action last week.

149
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: You know, it was tough to see why Teller have

150
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: to leave that game with the with the calf injury,

151
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: but sounds like he was back out of practice. Potentially

152
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: good news on Jok and David and Joeku getting those

153
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: get back. I mean the weather side, which we'll get

154
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: to in just a second garade. We know Buffalo with

155
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: that high powered offense, but as I mentioned with Josh Allen,

156
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: he's been turning the football over a lot lately. Well,

157
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: he's always been turning to football ro Matt and Bill

158
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: Belichick kind of saying for quarterbacks of that ilk and

159
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: it reminds me of Ben Roethlisberger, and that every game

160
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is going to, like Ben Roethlisberger, give you

161
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: two or three chances to intercept the football now. He

162
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: is doing a tremendous job this year. I'm not taking

163
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: that away from him whatsoever. He has been extremely impressive.

164
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: And when you think about the fact that he is

165
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: playing with a hurt elbow on his throwing arm right there,

166
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: tells you the level of commitment and toughness on his

167
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: part and dedication to trying to get the job done.

168
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: But with that in mind, though, he has to be

169
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: more conscientious and careful with the football. And that is

170
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: really the only weakness in his game that I see

171
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: right now. Because he can run the football, he can

172
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: roll out, he can beat you in the pocket, he

173
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: could beat you on off schedule plays. He can do

174
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: anything and everything except for stop making these poor decisions

175
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: in which he's costed his team the football in their

176
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: hands or the game because of poor decision making on

177
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: his part. So other than trying to be a gun

178
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: slinger at times and force the ball, if he could

179
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: clean that up, he's damn near perfect quarterback. Do you

180
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: think it's pressure dried I mentioned the fourth Cord interceptions

181
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: late in the game is and really even on that

182
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: late one in Minnesota saw him almost double clutch over

183
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: the middle through the pick is it just he's pressing there,

184
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: he feels like he's got to be the one to

185
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: lead him. It's it's a weird dynamic. It's a former.

186
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 1: You can make it a former pressing Matt, And I'm

187
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: torn between is it humorist and this idea of confidence

188
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: thinking he I could get it done because you have

189
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: to believe in yourself. Nothing gets accomplished by you doubtings

190
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: like I'm not sure. Maybe that's not gonna solve it.

191
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: That's not gonna get the job done. So I think

192
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: being overconfident and thinking that I could just force that

193
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: ball in there and this is gonna happen is what's

194
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: hurting him. He saw it out of bread Farve in

195
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 1: a situation where he would take chances and the interceptions

196
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: uh mounted up right. So I see Josh Allen taking

197
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: that same perspective. It's a great thing when they're on fire,

198
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: but again, two to three chances every game final one,

199
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 1: the weather drive not inches feet of snow that they

200
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: might be facing up there in Buffalo draw. What was

201
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 1: the worst weather game that you ever played in? The

202
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: Tuck Rule game is the worst weather game I ever

203
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: played in. I love the outcome, but the game, the

204
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: snow itself was coming down in droves, and it's actually

205
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: an easier game from a defensive backstandpoint for you to

206
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: play because why receivers simply can't make their cuts, and

207
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 1: you would think it would be easier on the receivers

208
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: as opposed to dbs, but really the DBS, what you

209
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: do is, Matt you basically just get a distance and say, I,

210
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: dare you try to make that cut because you're gonna

211
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: morning like you fall and I'm just gonna sit there

212
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: react to you. So those type of games in which

213
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: is snowing like that, you're gonna primarily be looking at

214
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: who has the better footing and a better Russian attack

215
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: to get the job done, and then occasionally pick up

216
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: first down by having to win at their back and

217
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: taking advantage of it. But in games like this, as

218
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: long as the snow is not coming down during the game,

219
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: because of our running game, because of the offensive line,

220
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: if they go back to former don't play like they

221
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: playing in Miami, and we have a great chance of

222
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: dominating this football and controlling the football because of lay

223
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: the Bills that are not Japan on the run, they

224
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: depend on the pass to get the job done. But granted,

225
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 1: I can't say that with confidence because our defense has

226
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: done what is allowed a ton of teams to have

227
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 1: career days against us when they have been struggling the

228
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: rush of football. Well, and also you look at it Cleveland,

229
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: you know, going down to Miami's a little different. He

230
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: really create recreate eighty six and Sonny. But this week

231
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: has been a little bit of prep for Buffalo. So

232
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: at least two cold weather teams going at it on Sunday,

233
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 1: great stuff with four downs coming up. We're gonna go

234
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: inside the locker room a little bit as Nathan's girl

235
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: will sit down with Cleveland's own Pharaoh Brown, Brown's tight end.

00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,520

257
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: As Nathan Sigura sits down with Brown's tight end and

258
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: from Cleveland very own Brush high school drop doesn't make

259
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: me feel that I used to watch Farrell Brown play

260
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: high school football. But nonetheless on the field for the Browns.

261
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: We had inside the locker room. Here's Nathan with Pharaoh

262
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: pretty happy now to be joined by Brown's tight end

263
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: Pharaoh Brown and Pharaoh. Let's just go back up few weeks.

264
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: How did it come to be that you ended up

265
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: back in Cleveland and what did that mean to you

266
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: to come home? I mean it was a blessing to

267
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: come back home. I talked with U Andrew Berry once

268
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: ide my time to take us had ended in I

269
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: just had a good conversation with him. Man. I figured

270
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: it would be a good fit that I can get

271
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: up here and come help out the team and help

272
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: out the tight end room, and I still have a

273
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: good friend so to reunite, which David uh De Sean

274
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: I played with him and tell you so uh. It

275
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: was a lot of familiar faces and a lot of

276
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: good friendships to come back to. When you finally put

277
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: the pend of paper and did come back, was this

278
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: like of all the place you could have gone, was

279
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: this place that you wanted to go. And coming home

280
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: and get another run here with with the Cleveland Browns

281
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: had to be pretty cool. Yeah, for sure. I mean

282
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: anytime you can come back home, it's always a blessing.

283
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: I mean I grew up a Browns fan, so uh

284
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: to be back and planning this organization is uh it's

285
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: always a dream come true for me and always it's

286
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: just surreal. So I cheer or ship and uh, I

287
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 1: just love being back. You come back. Things are a

288
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: little bit different on the offensive side of the ball.

289
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: How quickly we're able to seem like very quickly to

290
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 1: acclimate to what we were doing the style of this offense. Yeah,

291
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: I've been around a few teams. I actually was here

292
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: when coach to Fanski had first got here, so I

293
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: just kind of knew it. And I mean, when you're

294
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: looking at offenses, it's it's it's all kind of the

295
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: same in the same terminology. And I'm a fairly smart individual,

296
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: so it's a it's a it's easy for me to

297
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: pick up those things. So I'm just picking up the

298
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: things and just getting thrown around a lot of different

299
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: positions and in a lot of areas. But uh, I

300
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: played football, so it's it's easy for me. It's always

301
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: fun too when there's multiple tight ends, when it's a

302
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: team that has some twelve person like a good section

303
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: of that in the playbook, and you know you're gonna

304
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: get a lot of opportunities to block and being part

305
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: of the running but also to get out there and

306
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: you've got a lot of passings to come here. Yeah,

307
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: for sure. I mean anytime you can anytime you can

308
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: get multiple tight ends on the field is always a plus.

309
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: I mean this team has was leading in that area

310
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: even last year here, so hopefully with David coming back,

311
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: we can obviously getting that more. But uh, yeah, I

312
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: love it. All Right, let's talk about this offense because

313
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: it feels like there's been some weeks that have been very,

314
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: very good and some weeks that have been tougher. Last

315
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: week was a little bit tougher for us, especially at

316
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. What does the team like the

317
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: Dolphins do or what are a team like the Patriots

318
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: do That made it so challenging for us at the

319
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. And it feels like when they have

320
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: those five man fronts, that's the top time that it's

321
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: been a little tougher for us. I mean just from uh,

322
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: it's really not the front. You kind of know where

323
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: they yeah, you know they're going. I just think how

324
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: the game had played. In both of those we kind

325
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: of got down and uh we we shot ourselves in

326
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: the foot a couple of times, and at that point,

327
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: then we got into like passing situations were obvious passing situations,

328
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: and then at that point you put in five line

329
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: and on five defensive guys and in Italy you just

330
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: can't do that. And it showed, you know, when you

331
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: have to do that, then you start giving the pressure,

332
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: just giving up sex. So uh and then we obviously

333
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: we're not a you know, we're not a good football

334
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: team when we're behind because at that point, now you

335
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: can't run Nick Chub, you can't run Kareem Hunt. You know,

336
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: that's kind of our bread and butter. So I think

337
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: the biggest thing for us is just staying you know,

338
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: above the change, standing out of obvious passing situations. It's

339
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: just you know, not shooting ourselves in the footwell uh

340
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: uh self reflicting wounds on schedule, as they like to say,

341
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: you gotta stay on schedule. So it's very important this

342
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: week against the Bills, team that can absolutely put points

343
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: on the board, that got a good defense, they get

344
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: after yet basically all levels. And now the last few

345
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: weeks they've been as good against the run as they

346
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: were early in the season. When you've watched them, what

347
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: have you seen from the Bills and and how can

348
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: we attack them to get off to that fast start

349
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: and keep this game in that neutrality even Brown's favorite

350
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: game script. Uh, I think, I mean, I think we

351
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: can move the ball against anybody. We have two of

352
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: the best backs, we have the people outside. Like I said,

353
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: even with Miami, Wee's moving the ball. We just getting

354
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: to the region. It was just literally self deflict. The

355
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: wounds there. The air is so small, especially when you

356
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: do play those good teams, because you make two raw

357
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: mistakes and now you don't you know, four one. You know,

358
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 1: it's just start rolling. So I think the biggest thing

359
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: is just going up there, being able to stay on schedule,

360
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,199
Speaker 1: play our game, and I think we'll like the resources

361
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: versus anybody uh in the league when we do what

362
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: we do. All Right, you mentioned earlier you played in

363
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: Houston with the Sean. You are you've been a Brown before,

364
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: You're a Brown. Now he comes back to practice this week,

365
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 1: What do you hope to see from the Shan and

366
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: what does he bring eventually at some point, what will

367
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: he be able to bring to this team. I mean,

368
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 1: he's just he's just a special player, special playmaker. I

369
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 1: mean it's been that way since that Clemson. He's been

370
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: a winner at every level. I mean, he just brings

371
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: that factor. Uh you know, you kind of see it

372
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: around the league with a bunch of good teams and

373
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: their quarterbacks in uh, the organization is you know, lucky

374
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: to have him in that area. I mean, I just

375
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,439
Speaker 1: want to see him get out there and finally be

376
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: back out there and just be a self. I think

377
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: that I think that would be enough, is just come

378
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: and be a self and plays gonna come him. He

379
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 1: gonna make plays, and you know, it's it's kind of

380
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: that exciting football and it would be great for the fans,

381
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: for the city and and everybody just you know, it's

382
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,239
Speaker 1: he's a generational talent. So I mean what I what

383
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: I want to see is just him back on the field,

384
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: you know and doing doing doing this thing. What will

385
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: that do for an offense? Because he mentioned earlier and

386
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: it's true, and that's true with a lot of teams

387
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: and a lot of quarterbacks in this league like things

388
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: easy to go in a very particular way. Right, we

389
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: are a running team and a play action team. When

390
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: you get a guy like the Shaun back there, now

391
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: we can we want to be a drop back team.

392
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna be a drop back team, but there's really

393
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: no limitations and what we can do as an offense exactly,

394
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 1: there's I mean, we can be whatever you know, team

395
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,479
Speaker 1: think we want. I think the biggest thing is just

396
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 1: being able to now you really have to account for

397
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 1: him on the ground. And obviously in the past and

398
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: uh like scrambling situations, we haven't had a lot of those.

399
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: And when you look around the league, a lot of

400
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 1: biggest supposed to plays come off with a scramble. So

401
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,959
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that would just help a lot,

402
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: you know, just create more expensive plays with the scrambled drill.

403
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: Uh And obviously I mean that that him being back

404
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: there puts, you know, more pressure on the defense as

405
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: well to have to account so you know, I just

406
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: think that's an extra weapon. We're all excited about getting

407
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: the Shawn back. But your companies played very well for

408
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: this team. Great leader, great guy. What's you kind of

409
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: learned about Jacoby and the kind of report you guys

410
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 1: have been able to develop? Uh yeah, definitely, great leader,

411
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: great guy. I mean he's been a pretty solid his

412
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: whole career and all his stops, you know, Uh yeah,

413
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: that's pretty much That's pretty much it. Honestly. I mean,

414
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,719
Speaker 1: just a guy that's gonna you know, make the right

415
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: decision and being the right place, you know, gonna put

416
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: the team in the make sure the team is you

417
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 1: know together, and uh obviously done a great job. And

418
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 1: we've been in you know, almost in every game, you

419
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: know what I mean, So, uh, I think he's he's

420
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 1: done a great job and obviously what we needed. How

421
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,719
Speaker 1: big is this one in Buffalo? It feels like now

422
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,959
Speaker 1: you can't say my sweating talks on elimination game, right,

423
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: but it feels like this is an important one for

424
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: the Browns to get to try to get some momentum

425
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: back going into the end of the season. I mean

426
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: I kind of look at it and just think, like,

427
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: you know, at some point of the season you have

428
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: obviously we're down right now, so it's like, you know,

429
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 1: we're trying to get back the five hundred and uh

430
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: keep our playoffs contentions alive, but at some point you

431
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 1: really just want to you know, uh, beat good teams

432
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: and kind of getting winning street going on, because you know,

433
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 1: once the playoffs start, you have to win, you know,

434
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: for four games, right, four games in a row to

435
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 1: get to the big show. So at some point, you know,

436
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,959
Speaker 1: I always think like and ton of my team if

437
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: I were like, at some point, we have to go

438
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,959
Speaker 1: in the four game winning street, you know, because when

439
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: we get in the playoffs, that's something that has to

440
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: be done. So starting off with a playoff contender team,

441
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: I think that's big. So because obviously we can we

442
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: can see them again too, So uh, I just think

443
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: that's big. And uh it's a big game. You know.

444
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: Anytime you play a playoff a playoff team like Buffalo Bills,

445
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 1: it's always a big game and you want to beat them.

446
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: Have you ever played in a game they're talking maybe two, three,

447
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: four or five six ft of snow? Have you ever

448
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: had any crazy Blizzard games. I'm trying to think of

449
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: your time here. I can't remember that many crazy Blizzard games.

450
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: I never played at any crazy Blizzard games, but uh

451
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: kind of like never never really crazy bullards. I mean

452
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: it was cold snowing, but none with a lot of snow.

453
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm an avid snowboarder, you know, I live

454
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: in the mountain. So I had my wife send out

455
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: like my little bass layer, you know, so I should

456
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: be I should be pretty fine because I'm used always

457
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: in the montains snowboarder, so I think I'll be pretty good.

458
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: And uh, obviously right now we get the practice in

459
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: it as well, so I think we'll be ready. When

460
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: you get on the mountain on a snowboard, are people

461
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: like triple taking? You've got to be the biggest dude

462
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: on a snowboard on any mountain you're on. Are you talking?

463
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: Where are you at Colorado and Utak? Are you for

464
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: sure like the biggest guy? People like what the hell

465
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: is going on here? Yeah? Definitely definitely the tallest gutt

466
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: and everybody. I kind of picked it up super quick,

467
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: and uh, I usually I'm up there and nobody can

468
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: really tell. It's just like this big guy because I

469
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: got like the black belt snowgog goes. You know, I'm

471
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: skateboarder as a kid? Now? I was a a wake surfer. Yeah,

472
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: so I did a lot of wake surface, so I

473
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 1: kind of naturally just picked it up. Yeah, a little

474
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: wakeboarding is correct. Good time for sure. And now you're

00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: your spot today. Gerald the NFL heading over to Germany

508
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: for their first game, and it sounds like they're going

509
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: back and believe it's Roger Goodell has said, oh no,

510
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: we'll signed up. We're gonna be back in a little bit.

511
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: Should the NFL look to do more than just that

512
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: one game in Germany or do you think they should

513
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: maybe try to find other places to go on their

514
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: international ventures. Well, I think you need to reward the

515
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: German fan base because it's huge. You had allegedly three

516
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: million people try to get tickets. I heard that. So

517
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: if that's the case, by all means go back. I mean,

518
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: don't get to the point where you over saturated. But

519
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: I think that marriage at least three more games, don't you.

520
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: So I could answer your question for sure. I mean,

521
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: you get great turnout in London, but why not Germany?

522
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 1: And from going back to the days of the World

523
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: League met they always had a liking to football, so

524
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: it does not surprise me. But to get three million

525
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: tick a requests, that's some Taylor Swift like concert type stuff.

526
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 1: So so with that in mind, yes, you need to

527
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 1: go back to Germany making multiple games Apparently she's got

528
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 1: her own ticket problems going on. I read that today

529
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 1: as well with t Swift. But I think also with Germany.

530
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: I just you know, obviously I'm not a logistics person here,

531
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,479
Speaker 1: but I just don't know how much further east they

532
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 1: could go either, right, So I'm sure it wasn't just

533
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: you know, German people. You I'm sure it was any

534
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 1: neighboring country, anybody close to go see an NFL game.

535
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: They found a good market there. I'm with you. I

536
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: think they should expand that a little bit more, trying

537
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: a little factor fiction here. After their big win over Buffalo,

538
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: we face this weekend. The Vikings are one of the

539
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: top four teams in the NFL right now. Actually, I

540
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: gotta started to drive because you and I actually talked

541
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 1: about it this week a couple of times. The Vikings

542
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: of my pin are they're easily one of the top

543
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: four teams in the NFL. I would say, even more

544
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: one of the more shocking teams to see how dominant

545
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: they are, how good they are, and I gotta give

546
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: them their due respect. I really think that's a fact. Heck, yeah,

547
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 1: you consider and again, if if you had an opportunity

548
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: to watch the best football game in the season thus far,

549
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: you'll see where Buffalo completely gave the game away with

550
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: fumbles and interceptions and they should have won the game outright.

551
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: But give credit to the Vikings for what battling all

552
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: the way to the end, and that end was another

553
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 1: quarter within which they went to overtime and found a

554
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: way to get the job done. So you gotta give

555
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 1: them their props. The only team that they lost to

556
00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: is in my mind, the best team in the NFL,

557
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: even though they lost on Monday, is the Eagles. So

558
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: the Vikings, yes, I've crowned them and I think that

559
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: they are very for real well, and also it's rare

560
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: that you get to catch of the Year nominees in

561
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: the same game, right, I gotta tell you drop that

562
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson snag and I think he's quickly become a

563
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: top four wide receive. Another question was top four teams

564
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: with the Vikings, But I think Justin Jefferson has quickly

565
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: become a top four receiver in the NFL as well.

566
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: He's pretty special. The Chiefs and the Bills right now

567
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: seem to be the top two teams in the n

568
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: f C, the Eagels and the Vikings, the top two

569
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: teams in the NFC, drid Who do you believe is

570
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: the third best team in each conference? So again, Chiefs

571
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: and Bills, a FC, Eagles, Vikings NFC. Who's third on

572
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: each side? Well, let me stick with the a FC

573
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 1: because I'm not actually gonna debunk this idea. That is

574
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the Bills. Why not the Dolphins because

575
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: the last time I checked, the Dolphins have not lost

576
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,199
Speaker 1: the game when TWA was on the football field. And

577
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, this same Dolphin team also beat

578
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. So with that in mind, we need

579
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 1: to give the Dolphins. And I saw it. You saw

580
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: it as well. You watched the game. You saw how

581
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 1: they dismantled us and just pretty much made us look

582
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: in that throughout the entirety of that game. So it, Mike,

583
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 1: there's an argument there that the Dolphins are actually better

584
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: than the Bills because they got a running game, they

585
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 1: got a passing game, and they got a defense as well.

586
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: The only other a FC team that I'm just gonna

587
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 1: throw for comparison would maybe beat Baltimore there six and three.

588
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: The Jets are six and three. We talked about the

589
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: Bills being six and three. The Titans are, But I'm

590
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 1: with you, Dr. I think Miami kind of kind of

591
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: stands above the rest to the NFC Eagles, you know,

592
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 1: and the Vikings are there. It's kind of a Shmorgan

593
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 1: is born out that Seattle because actually, I think they

594
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: are coming around the corner now like that. So you

595
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 1: gotta I think you have to go at the forty

596
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: nine and we'll see when that head the hit matchup

597
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: takes place with the Seattle Seahawks and the four nine.

598
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 1: But right now, the edition of McCaffrey on the squad

599
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: is paying dividends for them, and they look like they're

600
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: starting to get their legs under them to make a run.

601
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: Some would argue that they might be the best team

602
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: in the NFS in the NFC. I wouldn't, but some do. Sure.

603
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 1: Final one here, draw was sick with an NFC team

604
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: factor fiction. The Packers will somehow right the ship and

605
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. So they stand at four and six,

606
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: which is shockingly good for second in the NFC North.

607
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: The problem is they're gonna have to run down Minnesota's

608
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 1: eight and one, so that might not happen. Yeah, that happened.

609
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: So then you want to look at, you know, wild

610
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 1: card with where they stand as far as even wild

611
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: card standings, they're in nine. They just gotta make it

612
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: up to seven, so they have to jump Washington in

613
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: San Francisco. We each have a you know, really, when

614
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: you look at it, a half game game and a

615
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: half lead. Dallas is there in New York. You think

616
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers has enough magic left in him drawed. I don't,

617
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: and I don't, and he's gonna have to rely on

618
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: the collapse of these other teams. I don't think the

619
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: Giants are gonna collapse, and I don't think that the

620
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: and the Seahawks will replaced. Probably the four and nine

621
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: and positioning, so that right there does it? Man, if

622
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: I'm not mistake, But you also said the Commanders are

623
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: ahead of them. They are. Just think about the standpoint

624
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: of them being the Eagles. How confident they must be

625
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: right now they are three and one. Since Carson Wentz

626
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: has exited the building or being sput on the sideline

627
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: due to the injury, do you think they're gonna go

628
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: back to him when he's healthy. I mean, Vera, I wouldn't,

629
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: and he said today that they're gonna activate Wentz from

630
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: the to the practice you know, window of coming off

631
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: the i R. But the Taylor Heineke is gonna continue

632
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: to start, you know. The quick thing on you You

633
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: mentioned green Bay to Gerard there four and six, the

634
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: same thing with Atlanta and Arizona. But the Green Bay

635
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: Packers have the tiebreaker right now, so basically there they

636
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: could find themselves even after this week, all the way

637
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: down in eleventh if things shake out poorly for them.

638
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: So I'm with you. I actually before the season, I

639
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: think the Packers go to the Super Bowl, and I

640
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: don't think that's happening based on what I just really

641
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: and this is this is I'm looking back on it.

642
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: Obviously not you can take. I mean, I just saw

643
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers gonna be so ticked off that he was

644
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: gonna turn Christian Watson into a star. He's gonna turn

645
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: Romeo Dobs into a star. And I mean I I

646
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: thought he had more left. Unfortunately, you see the impact

647
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: and not having Davante Adams and and with that team,

648
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: it's been it's been rough for him, but we'll see

649
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: how it goes well, from one Hall of Famer in

650

00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: Joe Thomas, Joe Weather this weekend in Buffalo. This was

677
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: the most important question I had for you, so I

678
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: have to get to it first. Is it an unwritten

679
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: rule that lineman don't wear sleeves in cold games? And

680
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: if they do, do they get rased in the locker

681
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: room and on the sidelines. Yes, it is, at least

682
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: it was when I was playing, and I remember never

683
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: really considering wearing sleeves, but there were some conversations in

684
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: the locker room between two of the other guys that

685
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: were maybe on the sidelines think good about putting sleeves

686
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: on in some of those games, especially my rookie year.

687
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: We played that No Bowl game against Buffalo that was

688
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: one of the colder games that we had earlier in

689
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: the season, and the guys in the sidelines a couple

690
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: of more and the worst sleeves, but it was a

691
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: no go from the vest. So I tell you what,

692
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: after playing without sleeves for eleven years, I figured out

693
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: that you can put vasoline on your arms and take

694
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: tops the wind better than if you wear sleeves. You

695
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: can possi It's like, you know, if you're in the desert,

696
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: it's better to wear a long sleeves because if they

697
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: get sweaty, then you get the cold wind on it.

698
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: It's actually worse than if you don't have sleeves on

699
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: at all. So in the end, acting like a tough

700
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: guy is counter productive, like it usually is. I see,

701
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: that's what you call a bettering move right there, breaking

702
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: out the vasoline. A lot of dudes don't know about that, Joe,

703
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: but you're absolutely right that vasoline is key. Like, why

704
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: is this guy's biceps shining so much? That's because he

705
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: put on the vasiline. But speaking of the cold weather, Joe,

706
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: have you ever been in this situation as a player

707
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: where you went from one extreme from a weather standpoint

708
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: to have been extremely hot, to all of a sudden

709
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: being really cold. And with that in mind, what do

710
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: you think is the harder adjustment to make play in

711
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: the heat or an extreme cold. Well, as a bigger guy,

712
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: it was always much tougher for me to play in

713
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: the heat, right, because it just zaps your energy so

714
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: much quicker. I remember we opened the season in Tampa

715
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: in like two thousand and twelve or thirteen, and it

716
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: was brutal. I mean, you know, nineties six nine seven

717
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: degrees humidity, and you know a halftime you're feeling just

718
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: completely white, especially for a person that from the Midwest

719
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: never played a lot of games in Florida and they

720
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: have to go down there after doing training camp in

721
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: Ohio and dealing with that heat. I think it's a

722
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: little tougher for your body to adjust, whereas the cold.

723
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: You know, you're so pampered on the sideline these days

724
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: in the NFL. You got heat adventures, You've got uh

725
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: heat coming out of the floor for your feet, you've

726
00:33:56,600 --> 00:34:00,080
Speaker 1: got a heat your helping on. You got these on

727
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: the sidelines. Really the only time you get cold during

728
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: TV time out because other than that, you're there playing

729
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: and staying warm, or you're standing on the sideline had

730
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 1: best sold. I don't think it's that much of an

731
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: issue for these guys anymore. The only time it is.

732
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: The only exception is if it's cold and wet. Then

733
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: it's kind of hard to avoid that because once you

734
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 1: get wet and it's windy, it's really tough to get warm,

735
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 1: even with all those heaters. Well, Joe and I think

736
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: it's got to be a point of pride as well,

737
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: when you're going into a game like this is an

738
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: offensive line and to say, hey, this is a running

739
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 1: type of game, right, and especially with the Browns with

740
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb, and Kareem Hunt and if the weather is

741
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 1: as bad as it is, you can imagine all week.

742
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,879
Speaker 1: You know, Joel and Wine and Jet and all those guys.

743
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: They gotta be pretty jack to know there's gonna be

744
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: quite a few carries for one thick chub on Sunday. Yeah. Man,

745
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,839
Speaker 1: we get so giddy during the week when you knew

746
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 1: there was gonna be some weather on Sunday because just

747
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,240
Speaker 1: like you guys, just like all the fans are assuming

748
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: that as soon as there's weather snow, rain, when that

749
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: means you're probably gonna run the ball a little bit more.

750
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 1: And as an offensive lineman, that's music to your ears.

751
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:12,959
Speaker 1: And Joe, as far as a game plan standpoint, Josh Allen,

752
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: we talked so much about him, and I'm an opinion

753
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: that he won't be able to do what he does best,

754
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: which is past the football in this situation. But you

755
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 1: look at their running game. It has not been the

756
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: greatest running game, but it's not like they really try either.

757
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,839
Speaker 1: From your perspective, what does the defense need to do

758
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 1: to share things up? Is it an issue of gap control,

759
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:36,399
Speaker 1: is an issue of penetration or is it all the above? Yeah,

760
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: whenever you're defending the run. As poorly as the Browns are,

761
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a bit of everything. Um. But going

762
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: into the season, I had a lot of concerns for

763
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: that defensive tackle position because we just didn't have any

764
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: real big guys on the inside and we had small livebackers.

765
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: Which you know, that's good when you're going against Lamar

766
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: Jackson and you're trying to bottle him up and keep

767
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: him in the pocket. You need that speed. But when

768
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 1: you're going against bigger guys, bigger lineman's, bigger quarterbacks, fig

769
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,879
Speaker 1: you're running back, um, it becomes a problem when you're

770
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,879
Speaker 1: a little bit smaller on the front. And as good

771
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: as this weather is, I think for the Browns running games, UM,

772
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,800
Speaker 1: it does concern me a little bit, especially with Josh

773
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: Allen's elbow, that they might try to run the football

774
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 1: a little bit more. Now. Ken Dorsey, the Bills offensive coordinator,

775
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: it doesn't really like to run football very much. He

776
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: was a quarterback in college. He was a quarterback with

777
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: me my first year in Cleveland. So those guys they

778
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: run when they have to. It's like past pass. They

779
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 1: have so much confidence in every past that they can't

780
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: stay and not call the path until their head coach

781
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: yells at him and says, hey, we gotta run the

782
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: ball here. And then you look down at the column

783
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 1: that does run and you close your eyes and you

784
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 1: just point at something just to check it off the

785
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: list that you can go back to passing. But um,

786
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 1: that's part of the reason they're not any good at running.

787
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 1: It's because they just don't get to it at all.

788
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: I think the Bills running backs are only averaging like

789
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: seventy three yards rush team per games like refuse in

790
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: the NFL. But to your point, you know, Josh Allen

791
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: is a big part of that running game. So for

792
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: the Browns to be able to just limit Josh Allen

793
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: a little bit in the running game and kind of

794
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: force him to hand it off to some of those

795
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: running backs, I think that'd be a big advantage for

796
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:13,240
Speaker 1: the Browns. Joe Thomas joining us here in the Cleveland

797
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 1: Browns preview showing, and Joe, Jerd and I were just

798
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 1: talking about it. Now. You were there over in Germany

799
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 1: for the game. We were really impressed with the fan

800
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: base and all the ticket request and you know, we

801
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: asked a question of should the NFL look to add

802
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 1: more than just a game a year over there in Germany.

803
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,879
Speaker 1: There's no better person to answer that question though than you, Joe.

804
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,320
Speaker 1: You were there, What was the atmosphere like? And should

805
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 1: the NFL expand maybe out to a couple of games

806
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 1: over there a year? Yeah? I think they should. I

807
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: mean the atmosphere is electric. Um, it was cool. With

808
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 1: two minutes to three minutes left in the game, they

809
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: let the postgame people back on the sidelines, So three

810
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: minutes left they let me and William mc ginnis and

811
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: Colleen will come out of the sidelines. We're watching the

812
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 1: games in the sideline and over the p A system.

813
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, they were playing like the greatest

814
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 1: tips from my college day. Was like being at the

815
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,959
Speaker 1: bar closing time. They're playing Country Roads by John Denver.

816
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 1: They're playing Journey, They're playing all these songs that in

817
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 1: America you were just not surprised to hear, but in

818
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: Germany you were shocked. And the whole crowd is thing along.

819
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,439
Speaker 1: I turned around, I looked behind me. There's a guy

820
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: that it looks like he's holding a picture of beer.

821
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: But apparently that's how they served their beers over giant

822
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,919
Speaker 1: warm leader signs, which is like three and a half

823
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 1: years or something like that, and he's holding the prescil

824
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 1: that looked like a sewer cap. I mean, these dudes,

825
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: they know how to do sporting events, and they were

826
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: so jazz. I think there was three million ticket requests

827
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: or something like that for the game. I mean, it

828
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:44,720
Speaker 1: was just incredible. They said it sold out in one minute,

829
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: and it was really cool. I mean I did my

830
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: fair share of their drinking in Munich, walking around town

831
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: and meeting a lot of the locals, and and you

832
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 1: saw just sixty seventy percent of the people were wearing

833
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: football jerseys, you know, NFL jerseys, And in my head,

834
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,879
Speaker 1: I figured, like, okay, go to the Germany game. There's

835
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: probably a lot of American fans that travel over here

836
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 1: because they want to do the Germany and they make

837
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: it a trip. Well that was they Actually most of

838
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: these people were in NFL jerseys, were speaking German, and

839
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:15,240
Speaker 1: there was very few Americans that I even ran into um,

840
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: and so you could just kind of feel the excitement

841
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: and the passion for American football and all the Germans

842
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:24,320
Speaker 1: that were over there that I convinced to buy me beers.

843
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: I had a chance to talk to you and they're

844
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: just die hard NFL fans and they're just dying for

845
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: more games. And I'd heard we had the commissioner on

846
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football on Friday, and there's little whispers going

847
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 1: around that I think they want to add a couple

848
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: of games in Germany every single year because their response

849
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: is just been so strong, and I think it kind

850
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 1: of leads up to what they want to do, which

851
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: is to really expand over in Europe and then make

852
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: the NFL not just national, but actually a global game.

853
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 1: That it seems like is the direction that they're headed. Well, Joe,

854
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: make sure you get on the list. Continue to go

Speaker 1: Gerd Cherry Drown. We do pre you. We look ahead

874
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: to the Buffalo Bills, and you mentioned this earlier and

875
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: it's so right on. Everything is still in front for

876
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 1: this team. Again, there's a tough loss to Miami, but

877
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: you look at Buffalo another a f C opponent, a

878
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,359
Speaker 1: very good opponent. We know that, but it's still there.

879
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 1: It's still attainable, and I can only imagine that's a

880
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: message throughout the building this week as they get ready. Yes,

881
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 1: the only mess that needs to be given do or die.

882
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 1: Do you want to move further or do you want

883
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: to call the quits on this season? All your efforts

884
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: are leading up to this point and beyond. If you

885
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 1: don't have it in you, it will definitely show on Sunday.

886
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 1: But if you go out there for lack lust effort,

887
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 1: you've sent the wrong message to your fan base and

888
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 1: more importantly, to your teammates. Man, it's a precious Each

889
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: season is precious. You only get one opportunity to go

890
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 1: for it all. And if you just think, okay, well

891
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: we'll do it again next year, you're not promised that,

892
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: not even promise tomorrow. But we tend to forget about that,

893
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 1: especial when we're young. That hey man, that's on one

894
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: guarantee that you're gonna be in the NFL next year.

895
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 1: You never know what's gonna take place. I mean, if

896
00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 1: COVID didn't wake you up to the idea that things

897
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 1: can change drastically, I don't know what will. But yes, Matt,

898
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,399
Speaker 1: the message has to be this is it, y'all, this

899
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: is it. And we talked a lot about the weather.

900
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: Is there a situation draw with that would benefit one

901
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: team or the other? I I just look at and

902
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 1: I say, hey, it's Cleveland, right, It's not like it's

903
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 1: Miami going up there or Buffalo or Cleveland going down

904
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 1: to Miami like we just did. Um. I get that

905
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:25,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna be snowy, but also, you know, I assume

906
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: you mentioned about the snow coming down during the game,

907
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: but they have the heaters in the field, right, it

908
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,359
Speaker 1: isn't Actually it's a field turf field up there, so

909
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 1: hopefully they'll get it cleared. I just I don't know, Drop,

910
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm not putting as much stock in the weather

911
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 1: as others are. Well beyond the weather, Matt, it still

912
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 1: goes back to your ad to your desire, your mental preparations,

913
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 1: your physical preparations. Do you want to get the job done?

914
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 1: Have you quit because most of these guys are physically equal. Yeah,

915
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,439
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a Miles Garrett here and there. That's

916
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 1: a freak of nature. But for the most part, guys

917
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: are equal. So it comes down to your mentality, your mindset,

918
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 1: and what are you playing for or do you feel

919
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: you still have him to play for? And right now,

920
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 1: I gotta think that the Buffalo bills from my set

921
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: some point are angry and we should be too. So

922
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:08,959
Speaker 1: the question becomes, which of these football teams are gonna

923
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: be the angry er one and which one's gonna go

924
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:12,959
Speaker 1: out there and actually execute and get the job done

925
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: in very severe weather potentially severe weather conditions. You know

926
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: you mentioned it. They're both teams really trying to fight

927
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 1: back for really kind of different reasons. Buffalo onto two

928
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 1: game losing streak. Brown's trying to right the ship a

929
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 1: little bit. Stay in the hunt. It's gonna be a

930
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 1: fun and at the worst, you know, no matter what happens,

931
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 1: I think everybody enjoys watching an NFL game in the snow,

932
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:34,840
