1 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: So I was asking about said, I'm not a coach. 2 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,600 Speaker 1: Occasionally I'll play one on TV, but it looks like 3 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: your run fits and the wall you're building as a 4 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: run defense is really improved of the last couple weeks. 5 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 1: Is that my honest something? There has there been good 6 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 1: improvement there? I think that's something. Yeah, I think that's 7 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: that's something that um here and they when we've we've 8 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: as a culture, you always kind of want to pride 9 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: yourself on being able to stop the run and being 10 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 1: being good in that aspect, and um, you know, it's 11 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: always something that's gonna change week in and week out. 12 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: And you know, since week one, UM, we've hawked on 13 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: and it's been something that we that we've attacked each week, 14 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: and you know, each week we see more and more improvement. 15 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:52,840 Speaker 1: So yeah, is there something too also like building sort 16 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: of the reputation as being this physical defense that you 17 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: can't move. You know that there's there's something to that. Um, 18 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: you know some of it, I guess, you know, but uh, 19 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: you know, reputation and intimidation only get you so far. 20 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: Um you know, Um, you know, we'll said last week 21 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: that they wanted to run the ball ten times a quarter. 22 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: So regardless of what we wanted to do or if 23 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: we couldn't stop it or we did stop it. Um, 24 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: you know that was in their game plan. So UM, 25 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: all that stuff is cool, but at the end of 26 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: the day, it comes down to game day, It comes 27 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: down to execution. So um, you know the rest of 28 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: the league, thanks Dad, y'all think that that's cool. But 29 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: on Sundays if we go out and you know, we 30 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 1: don't execute, and you know, it just takes one guy 31 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: to mess up or you know, take the to see 32 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: the wrong thing. So um, you know, we that's something 33 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: that we've talked on and we've will continue to harp 34 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: all you gottak about where you guys were at two 35 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: and four and things could have gotten in a different 36 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: direction after that, Cowboys getting more. What do you think 37 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: you like? One thing that stands out to you, Um, 38 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: just this was all of the team. Um, you know, 39 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: we've got a little bit of a young your team 40 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: or whatever, and we've got um, some veteran guys in 41 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: each call it group or whatever he's said it, and um, 42 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 1: you know those are kind of times whenever the other 43 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: guys kind of got to stand up and you know 44 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: some guys might feel this way, feel that way, but 45 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,359 Speaker 1: um just kind of stood the ship a little bit. 46 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: You know, coach does a really good job with that, 47 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: but I mean it would be times where you know, 48 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: as players, you kind of gotta kind of step up, 49 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: and you know, you might not like what coaches saying 50 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 1: that what he's doing, but I mean he's had success. 51 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: He knows what he's talking about. And you know, sometimes 52 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: you gotta be able to bring you know, those young 53 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: guys with you, and um, you know, guy's bought in. 54 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 1: It wasn't like it was people fighting back or anything, 55 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: but people bought in, and um, each week we got better. 56 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: So and I think that's been the overall product. Each tweaks. 57 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: You know, guys just want to get better. God COVID's 58 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: been around for a while now, was saying, you know 59 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: what's going on, But I think when this week they're 60 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 1: so preparing, you guys are so preparing for your job 61 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: and all the starters, what's your mindset when it comes 62 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 1: to preparing for a team that's battling. Um, I mean 63 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,119 Speaker 1: it makes it just as difficult. Um, obviously we want 64 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: to have an idea with what to expect on game day, 65 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: but Um. You know, honestly, when it comes down to 66 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: teams like Cleveland are kind of a you know, they 67 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 1: kind of plug other guys in and um, like got 68 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: y'all said, Man, they got a stable of running backs, 69 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: you know, much like how we kind of see our offense. Um, 70 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 1: you know, with different guys that can do a lot 71 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: of different things. And you know they have that type 72 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: of you know stable, um to be able to you know, 73 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: move guys in, whether it's at the tight end position 74 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: or the one in back position in particular. But um, 75 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: you know, we'll we'll do the best we can. And UM, 76 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: I'm sure Bill and Steve and Mayo have you know, 77 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: wrinkles and stuff in their force. But um, you know 78 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: the best thing we can do is just you know, 79 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: focus on the day back to the base. You know, 80 00:03:51,120 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: they were different productive the other teams. And about um, 81 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: I mean a lot of a lot of times it's 82 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: it's the scheme. Um. It might not just be the 83 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: running backs. It might be the quarterbacks and the receivers 84 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: and all that stuff too. Um. But I mean you 85 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: say a lot about Chubb and Kareem and Williams and 86 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: a lot of those guys, but um, you know, the 87 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: hogs in front of him make make all that stuff go. Um, 88 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: they're able to, you know, pull the center and pull 89 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: the front side guard in certain plays that some people 90 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: might not do. And whenever they have that versatility and 91 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: their capability to do it and do it well, Um, 92 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: it just makes those running holes and gaps a lot 93 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: harder to get to and a lot easier for guys 94 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: like Chub to take advantage of him. And um, when 95 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: he takes advantage of it, you definitely can tell when 96 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: he does. So. Um, A lot of that stuff is Chubb. 97 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: A lot of that stuff is you know, the offensive line. 98 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: I think they just do a really good job of 99 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: may Not altogether and then take the play action in 100 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: the boot game with Mayfield and Jarvis and people Jones 101 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 1: and all these other guys that they have, man, and 102 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: it just you know, creates a really really big problem. 103 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: So um, whenever they're clicking the offense, man, they're a 104 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:13,359 Speaker 1: big problems. Yesterday between that in the running back, this 105 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: is your toppest challenge the season. We expect on Sunday, Um. 106 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 1: I expected every Sunday, Um, but even more or less 107 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: with this team obviously, Um, you know, I'm sure they're 108 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: probably hearing, you know, playing the run game and all 109 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: the other stuff. How you know, everybody's talking about how 110 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: well we've been doing. Um, And I'm sure they they're 111 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: gonna see that as motivation or inspiration or whatever. Um. 112 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: But they're a really good, really good offense and they're 113 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 1: they're good at what they do. Um. You know, I 114 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: don't think that they're too much of a you know, 115 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 1: try to get you away or try to you know, 116 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: fool you with this or doing that. You know, they're 117 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: just kind of you know, line it up and you 118 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 1: know run it. You know, kind of you know, everybody 119 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 1: talks about the Titans. I mean, the Burns were kind 120 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: of the same way. Um with with how they use Chubb. 121 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: You know, he's one of the top premiere pat backs 122 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 1: who might not get a lot of talk because he's 123 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: not as flashy. But um, you know, when when it's 124 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: in the locker room, I promise you a lot of 125 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: guys with respect respect Chub idea of line it up 126 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: and run it. From the Browns perspective, from a physical stampoint, 127 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: how physical are they and how do you have to 128 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 1: match that? Um? I mean it's probably one of the 129 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: most physical not the most physical game that we've played 130 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: this year. Um, obviously with Chubb, but then the teller 131 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: and the telly and all the guys in front of them, 132 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: and then the tight ends, the scheme plays that they use. Um, 133 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 1: they do a good job of mixing things up. So UM, 134 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: it's just it's gonna be it's gonna be good up front. Uh, 135 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a battle of the trenches, and UM, 136 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: I think the game is probably gonna be one there. 137 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: Whether whether it's you know, making it tougher than them 138 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: and forcing them in tough passing situations, or whether they 139 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: come out and they're able to run the ball and 140 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: get four or five yards of play, which is enough 141 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 1: they're able to do that, then you know, it's gonna 142 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 1: be a long day for us. A bunch of different spots. 143 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,239 Speaker 1: But you do have a lot of experience bettering guys 144 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: in your linebacker room. How beneficial has it been just 145 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: to have so much experience in that room Between you 146 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: and Judean and Ben and Jamie, you got a lot 147 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: of guys that have been around for a while. It 148 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: helps a lot. Um, it kind of helps the meetings 149 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: go a little bit smoother, and I think that you 150 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: know guys kind of the younger guys kind of you know, 151 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: sit around you know the older guys.
