10
00:00:55,480 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: from really getting this thing going here at Barria and

11
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: for the Browns. And still questions exist around this football

12
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: team and they are centered obviously on the quarterback Deshaun Watson.

13
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: So today on this program, we're gonna get you the

14
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: very latest that we are hearing about Sue Robinson, the

15
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: judge in this case, when she may make her ruling

16
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: about Deshaun Watson Charles Robinson with some reporting today we'll

17
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: get to that. We'll also go through the Open Championship,

18
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: I think the greatest tournament in golf, and it was

19
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: an unbelievable Sunday done by what one thirty incredible it's

20
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: just it's basically the perfect golf event as far as

21
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: I'm concerned. We'll talk about that. We're gonna go around

22
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: the league coming up at the bottom of this hour.

23
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: We'll be joined by Brown's senior staff writer Anthony Poisal

24
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: to talk about the wide receiver room and we'll do

25
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: a little wide receiver position preview, uh and then an

26
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: our number two. That's right, get ready to oh eight

27
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: fifty at two o'clock, we are gonna take your phone call,

28
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: so that's gonna be fun. We'll go ahead and look

29
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: at a bizarre ranking of the thirty two rosters in

30
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: the NFL from CBS Sports. They've had a lot of

31
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,399
Speaker 1: just strange list lately. We will continue that, will take

32
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 1: a look at our ten most intriguing teams of two

33
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: with a look at the Steelers. Brooke prior. The ESPN

34
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: NFL Nations Steelers reporter will join us at two thirty.

35
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: So we got a loaded show for you here today.

36
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: The rains came in this morning. They have cleared now

37
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: and we are getting ready, as I said, for the

38
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: week when some of the Browns players, and obviously the

39
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: quarterback position that will be the one that we're looking

40
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: at more than any That is where we're gonna find out,

41
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,239
Speaker 1: hopefully by this week or next week, what will happen

42
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: and give a here's what Charles Robinson had to say today,

43
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: just about an hour ago. We tweet us out an

44
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: hour and a half ago, eleven thirty four AM, and

45
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: I quote sources in the Watson case believe arbitrator Sue

46
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: Robinson's decision could bump up against or even overlap with

47
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: the first few days of Brown's camp, which would mean

48
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: sometime late next week one opinion, and offered on the

49
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: timelines that she may be taking her time to give

50
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: the league and Watson another shot at settling. And Charles

51
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: Robinson goes on to say, part of an independent arbitrator's

52
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: job is to often operate on their own timeline and

53
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: be thorough. She wants to remind them of precedent that

54
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: she could be established in the process and allow them

55
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 1: to reflect the potentially negotiate a deal in the eleventh hour.

56
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: She has that right. He finally adds another note. If

57
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: Watson ends up incurring the full year suspension, the NFL

58
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: is seeking either from the arbitrator or a league appeal

59
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: of Robinson's decision. I am told his camp and the

60
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: NFL p A have already made the decision to file

61
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: a lawsuit against the league in federal court. Now, this

62
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: is stuff that I think was all known that this

63
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: would be the tack that the NFL p A would

64
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: take in the event of something like that. Uh So

65
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: I'm surprised that it's coming out now. However, there are

66
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: a lot of people who are speculating that are around

67
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: the league that the NFL is very concerned that the

68
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: suspension that will be handed down by Robinson will be lenient,

69
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: if there is a suspension at all, that it won't

70
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: be many games, and that there is a potential that

71
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: this thing could be settled before she ever does make

72
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: a ruling. But as far as the timeline goes, it

73
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: sounds like, if it is her ruling, per Charles Robinson,

74
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: that that will come next week at the earliest, and

75
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: perhaps late next week, once the Browns have already started camp.

76
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: It's not ideal, it's not, but it is what it is. Right.

77
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: This is the situation we're in, and we await, we

78
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: await the white smoke. It's not it's not that it's

79
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: it's not ideal as long as it comes. You know,

80
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: I think in the month of July, it is not

81
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: going to have a massive impact on the Cleveland Browns.

82
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: Even if her decision were to happen late. It's there

83
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: wasn't a decision and he was able to participate, So

84
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: it's not like it would affect his ability to participate

85
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: in Kevin. There wouldn't even if he has suspending can

86
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: participating camp. So it really doesn't change anything. It would

87
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: be a little bit, you know, you would maybe want

88
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: to know, Okay, are we starting Jacoby Brissette week one

89
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: or are we starting to Shawn Watson week one? Yeah,

90
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: I imagine though they're planning for both of those things simultaneously,

91
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: and the fact is they've got to get both these

92
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: guys ready. Watson hasn't played in a year. I think that,

93
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: you know, there is I do think we're gonna find

94
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: out sooner rather than later. I have no idea. Again,

95
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: nobody has any idea. I think there's a ton of

96
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,679
Speaker 1: speculation out there, but hopefully that speculation will end soon

97
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,239
Speaker 1: so that we can just kind of move forward and say, Okay,

98
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: here's what we're dealing with and here's how we're going

99
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: to proceed. As the Cleveland Browns, and so hopefully we're

100
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: gonna get that, get that, get that taken care. So

101
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: that's kind of the big news as it relates to

102
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 1: the Browns and world, quite frankly, as it relates to

103
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: the NFL. There's really nothing else going on around the league.

104
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: A couple of teams, I want to say, the Raiders

105
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: and somebody else had their rookies report who's played in

106
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame game. That's who would have been

107
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: Raiders and Jaguars. I know it's the rate. Let's see

108
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: twenty two Hall of Fame game. I feel like that's right.

109
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: Sounded good, it feels great. I like it. It is

110
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 1: because isn't it? Isn't it because Jas? Yeah, you're right.

111
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: So those are the teams baby GiB started the week

112
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,799
Speaker 1: off hot. That would be Those would be the teams

113
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: that I would report today their rookies. So they get

114
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: a little bit of a head start because they're playing

115
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: in that first preseason game there. Um. So we also

116
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: have some news here. We've got a Stevie Connor Lawrence,

117
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: Welcome to the squad. Connor with a c or new Connor.

118
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,280

119
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: Connor today, which I did not see coming. You like that,

120
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: people like that was a hit. It was a hit

121
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: for New Connor. We have Connor with the k now

122
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: Connor with the seed. A lot of Connor confusion, but

123
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: we just go to New Connor. It's very safe. Uh

124

168
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: who that was for, uh, which I forgot to bring

169
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: with me, laid it out on my island so that

170
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: I would grab it in the morning. Unbelievable. He was

171
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: like you because I was like, dude, I'm not kidding.

172
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: I forgot. That was like, you're joking, which I should

173
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: have been joking. I was not. Unbelievable, huge oversight, ridiculous.

174
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: I mean I literally and laid it out. I was

175
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: early in the morning. I was thrown off because it

176
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 1: didn't I didn't. So all I brought was my golf

177
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: bag and I was able to throw in a couple

178
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: of clothes to go out that night and that's all

179
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: I needed, and then a T shirt to put on

180
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: the fly home the next day. I was there in

181
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: Friday out Saturday twenty four hours basically, and I didn't

182
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: put in the golf bag, but I didn't have like

183
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: another carry. I should have just thrown in my backpack.

184
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: Idiot totally forgot So I have to mail it to him.

185
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: So but that's fine, which I will do. That is

186
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: sad though, like maybe he would have worn it out

187
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: Friday night he was going to the least shocking thing ever. Yeah,

188
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: totally blew it. Wait, so Beatbox came in for this.

189
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: Two Beatbox lives in Chicago. I thought the other guy

190
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: did both of them do. I was the only non

191
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: Chicago and so fly in and it apparently hadn't rained

192
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: in Chicago, and like four weeks every day was perfect.

193
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: I get in, its raining, and you know, you're I'm

194
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: watching the radar. I got all my different apps, and

195
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: it's saying, oh, we're gonna be good by like two o'clock,

196
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: and then everything every five minutes you're looking at it's

197
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: not getting better. It's pouring rain. At one point we're

198
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: thinking like are we going to golf? And I was like,

199
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: we're here, what, Like, yeah, we're gonna golf let's try

200
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 1: to do it. So we go out there and we're

201
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: at um Olympia Fields is the club kind of very prestigious.

202

206
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: They got two courses there, the north courses, the tournament course.

207
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: You can you know. I was walking around with Kenny

208
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,599
Speaker 1: and he had worked the event the last time to

209
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: be and he's like, oh, and here's where Tiger hit

210
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: it from. And for example, John Daly, I was telling

211
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: you had played eighteen his favorite eighteen holes in one

212
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 1: day in the country and number fourteen Olympia Fields was

213
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: on that list, which is just an insane Part four.

214
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 1: Front of the war Teas is like five yards Tiafa

215
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: cliff down into like a ravine that it's straight, but

216
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: there's water all the way right, trees all the way left,

217
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: and then water at the end of the fairway and

218
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: then a steep cliff that is totally just natural up

219
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: to the green. It's like five yards perfect there were

220
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: some awesome holes, awesome course. So we go out there

221
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: and on the first hole we go Tiafa. The guy

222
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: who's the starter is like, are you guys nuts? Pouring pouring.

223
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: Kenny was very nice. You wanted me to have a

224
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: piece of Olympica Fields gear, so we got me a

225
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: rain x. I didn't have a rain jack it. It

226
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: wasn't even like idiot, so get that. It's nice my

227
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: rain gloves that I hadn't used in forever, because what

228
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: I don't I'm not golfing in the rain. Typically we're

229
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: like molded up, so I had to get rid of those,

230
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: get new rain gloves. So we go out there. The

231
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: first holes a part five and it is like pouring

232
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: part it. I was playing very very well, and then

233
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: after about like the fourth hole just stopped raining and

234
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: it didn't rain until maybe we got to like seventeen,

235
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: and then it was just a light drizzle but it

236
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: wasn't a factor at all. And then the second we

237
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: got out of there pouring again. So it was perfect.

238
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 1: So we were able to get the eighteen holes in

239
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: this course. Folks is an absolute gem. It's beautiful, everything's

240
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 1: in front of you, but it's just hard. It's just

241
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: a hard golf course. We played the Whites, which are

242
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: the member tees par seventy sixty undred yards from the

243
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: Whites par seventy. Uh. The rating which is what a

244
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: scratch should shoot like seventy three point four. The slope

245
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: was in the one forties from the Whites. The tour

246
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 1: ties that they play that these guys play are is

247
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: like seventy hundred yards par seventy. That's how good they are.

248
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: And the guy who won it the last time, Kenny

249
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: was telling me at the BMW was I think like

250
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 1: four under for the for the week. It is tough,

251
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: so eighteen. I wanted to hit one out from like

252
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: the tourtees because it would be fun. Eight teams apart

253
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: four dry. You have to bomb your drive out there

254
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: from the back. The water is not even reachable, but

255
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: there's water up on the right and up to a

256
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: little green and whatever. It's just a long hold five

257
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: twenty I think from the tour ties par four. I

258
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: hit a bomb for you, and I had and I

259
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: remember it was wet a little bit, but I thought

260
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: I had a really good drive as a little into

261
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: the wind, and I had about two thirty left, so

262
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: it was driver hybrid from the whites where we are playing,

263
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: I hit driver gap wedge like that's the difference. Oh

264
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 1: my god, but that's how long this course was. It

265
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 1: was awesome. So we had a great time there. And

266
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: then we went out to one of my favorite restaurants

267
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: in um in Chicago, went out to Hugos Frog Bar.

268
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: Just a delight and Kenny a tremendous host. And then uh,

269
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: and then that was it, and then just went home

270
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: with Beatbox, got to hang with his kids in the morning,

271
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: played a little Rory McElroy golf, which was a treat good.

272
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: And then yeah, watched obviously watched the golf, and and

273
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: then I flew home. Serious. It was just in, in

274
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: and out. It was great. It couldn't have been a

275
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: better day. It was awesome. Uh that place, the Olympic Fields, like, yeah,

276
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: is a baller. It was awesome. It was one of

277
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: my favorite golfing experiences because of course, was just so good.

278
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: The clubhouse is so good. The locker room is cool.

279
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: Supposely it's a it's a twenty two thousand square foot

280
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: locker room. It's the biggest locker room in the country. Supposedly,

281
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: that was one of the facts they were throwing at

282
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: me amongst others. Just just very cool and then obviously

283
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: great hanging out, great meal, just you know, so we

284
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: got a little you know, brained on what whatnot. But

285
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: other than that, it was it was perfect. And I

286
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: got a cool hat from there. So the hat that

287
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: I got in Colorado therese g four hats. They're making them.

288
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: I guess all the clubs have them now. And so

289
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: it's just white that just says O L Y and

290
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: the big block letters and then has their logo on

291
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: the side sweet hat. So I'm pumps. So I had

292
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: some good gear. It's great, great time, great time. Yeah.

293
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: That course though was and even though it was raining,

294
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: and because it hadn't rained for so long, it was

295
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: still were you card path only or were you know,

296
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: there wasn't water anywhere, you know, maybe like he said,

297
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: the greens would have been a little faster obviously in

298
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: the fairways would have been a lot faster. But it

299
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: still was rolling, and it was it was awesome. I

300
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: had a couple of birds on the part three's, both

301
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: part threes on the back. One was like a wedge

302
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: and one was an eight iron. But the one that

303
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: I hit a wedge on I think would have been

304
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: like one for the pros, and it was only like

305
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: one forty for us, and then the other one, which

306
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: was downhill, is two thirty for the pros. It was

307
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: like one seventy for me, and I hit on both.

308
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: Part three, hit about a foot, a little kickens. It

309
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: was great, had about and the caddy was pretty fired up.

310
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: He's like, that's for first time out here. He's like

311
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: that was that was pretty good. Yeah, but I mean

312
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: it was brutal. I fortunately just I hit the ball. Well,

313
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: you know, it was a cool place, just the prestige

314
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: in the history and you know, Kenny, like I said,

315
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: I'd been there to be like, yeah, put the ball

316
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: right here. This is where Tiger tried to hit hit

317
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: a like cut driver off the deck on some par

318
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: five and so I'm just like, this is nuts, super cool. Yeah,

319
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: And then he showed me on that par five daily

320
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: hit it so far right. So that crazy part four

321
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: I was talking about. The whole four is a par

322
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: five and the right side where there's the water and

323
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: the trees, that's kind of the right side of both

324
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: holes because they go out and back, and he hit

325
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: it so far right that he was down on that

326
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: other fairway and then I had to hit it blind

327
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: back up over a mountain of trees. I don't know how,

328
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: and the supposedly hit it to like five feet made

329
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: an eagle on the part five, which seems impossible. But

330
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: these are some of the stories. So it was very cool,

331
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: awesome time. And then Sunday morning to come back and

332
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: to get back and watch the Open. We'll get into that,

333
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: all right. We'll get into that right after this. We've got,

334
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,120

344
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit about the Open Championship at St.

345
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: Andrew's just the coolest pretty much the coolest place there is,

346
00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: the most unbelievable environment. The crowd was eight, The golf

347
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 1: was great, insane, totally sensational. Probably the most riveting back

348
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: nine I've seen in a while, just because it was

349
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: the cam Smith. What he did six birdies, He goes

350
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: and shoots a thirty on the back nine, a thirty.

351
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: I think he had six one puts on the back nine,

352
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: and Rory didn't have a one put all day, could not,

353
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: could not, and they were all good putts. I was

354
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: actually joking with a couple of my buddies and sometimes

355
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 1: all have rounds like that where I hit a bunch

356
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: of greens and then every put is just a tapp

357
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: in par. But he didn't make anything, and he didn't

358
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: he didn't make anything. He had a lot of really

359
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 1: good putts. Cam Smith though unbelievable, I mean unbelievable, and

360
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: and my dad was like, oh yeah, it's because he

361
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: kept hit him because most those puts were between fifteen

362
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 1: and twelve to eighteen and rories didn't fall his did.

363
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: He made everything. He shot a third already on the

364
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: back nine of the Open Championship. So I joined. I

365
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: think I turned it on finally, as as Cam was

366
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: on like the ninth hole and starting, and then I

367
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: felt like it just went in the blink of an eye.

368
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 1: You mentioned it in the first segment, it was done.

369
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: It like one thirty. They were flying like every but

370
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: every single one of the guys in the final three

371
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: or four groups. We're just throwing darts up there and

372
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: I'm like twenty under like that. There are guys at

373
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: fift under in in any other year, they're probably winning this.

374
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 1: It's just that course doesn't have a lot of defenses

375
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: other than the greens for you know, the players who

376
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: can hit it the way they can and some of

377
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: the crazy bunkers and Haveland had a rough day. He

378
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: was the only guy that really had a rough day.

379
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 1: I thought Cam Young the American is probably I'm sure

380
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: Rory couldn't sleep las night. I bet Cam Young canceleery

381
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: that three put on one was terribly missed. What four

382
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: parts inside of five? About the one on seventeen that

383
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: literally was a turn away from going in. Yeah, he

384
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: makes that he's in because his eagle on eighteen was

385
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: outrageous and for Cam Smith to make the put after

386
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,239
Speaker 1: that it was funny. So I was texting with Um

387
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: with the kid and Jim Reems and um, you just

388
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: knew once he took the lead, and Smith took the

389
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: lead at nineteen on on whole fourteen, I want to

390
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: say he birdied I think ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen. Yeah,

391
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: he birdied five in a row at that point. Yes,

392
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 1: it was four yea ten through fourteen fourteen, So fourteen

393
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: was a par five and you're thinking, all right, Rory's

394
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: gonna birdie the par five for sure, and so then

395
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna get to he'll be at nineteen too, and

396
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: then now then it's on for the last you know,

397
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: three holes or four holes fifteen, sixteen, eighteen, and he

398
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: left it out. He left it out right, and then

399
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: he putted it up to like ten ft and then missed.

400
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: And Cameron Smith made all of those all days, and

401
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: he just missed it. It looked good, he just missed it.

402
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 1: So saying he's gonna have to birdie one of these

403
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: holes sixteen or seventeen, because Cam Smith's birdie eighteen, Like

404
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: I just felt he was gonna britie eighteen. And then

405
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: on sixteen he hits it pretty good. Oh, No, sixteen

406
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: was when he hit the bomb to like seventy yards

407
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: and then he hit too far, too far, and then

408
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: seventeens hard. But let's talk about camp Smith's par on seventeen.

409
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: What a save. He puts it around the bunker to

410
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 1: four feet, knows he's got make it, and then draino

411
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 1: bottoms like nothing. And by the way, like you are

412
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: the opposing player in h he was the visitor. Everyone,

413
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: you are the visitor because everybody behind you is losing

414
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: their mind because Rory is just making a charge and

415
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: still he just can't get over the hump. So it

416
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: obviously was cam Smith went out and he won the open.

417
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: You can't say anything else in Rory didn't do enough.

418
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 1: That's fine, that's golf. Sometimes Rory played ta green make

419
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: he hit all eighteen greens in regulation thirty six pots,

420
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: and he made and he was two under. Wasn't enough

421
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: all the other everybody else up there was at sixty

422
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: eight or sixty six or sixty seven, and that would

423
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: have won it for him. I feel so badly for him.

424
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: But cam Smith, you like Rory, didn't choke. Hovelin choked

425
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: out there. Hoveland played a bad round. Rory did not.

426
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,479
Speaker 1: Rory played a good round. Sometimes the putstn't drop. That's

427
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: what's so crazy about golf. Is a put that goes

428
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: and misses by an inch. It's another shot that one

429
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: inch shot counts. But he was driving the ball well.

430
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: He had clutched drives on sixteen seventy. I mean every

431
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: time he needed a good shot he did. He just

432
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: couldn't hit the irons close. Somebody couldn't make any potts.

433
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 1: It was crazy. But Cam Smith to shoot a thirty

434
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: two rounds of sixty four in the Open, absolutely bonkers,

435
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: awesome tournament. I loved every second of it. It's perfect,

436
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: it's on right when you get up, it just looks cool.

437
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: The courses look cool. That is a magical place and

438
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: hooked it. She was like, the scenery alone is worth watching.

439
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: Ye crazy, I'm like, and they're playing golf and it's

440
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: such a different golf, Like the put from the road.

441
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 1: She's like, wait, that's why is he using a putter?

442
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: And I'm like, you know what, just watched unbelievable shot

443
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 1: by speed. But like you go back to number five,

444
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: which is the first part five I want to say,

445
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:32,360
Speaker 1: and Rory had I think two hundred and fifty eight

446
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 1: yards to the pin, but it was like one seventy

447
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: eight to the front of the green and then eighty

448
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: one to the whole. The whole was eighty one yards

449
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: cut off the front of the green. That's how big

450
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: the green is at five and thirteen, and so you're

451
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: saying he's to six yet, but he's trying to hit

452
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: a hundred and ninety. He was hitting like a seven

453
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 1: iron down wind and it rolled sixty yards on the

454
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: green and he almost had an eagle right there should

455
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: add Eland to put Bertie. That was his first to

456
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: put Bertie. That place so cool. I highly recommend anybody

457
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: who's listening, if you are a golf fan at all,

458
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: one go out there. You've got to play it. You've

459
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: got to play it at some point in your life.

460
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: You have to do it. It is absolutely On Thursday

461
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 1: when you walked in and I was like, oh, so

462
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: and so, they just they just sit up and down

463
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: save par on seventeen, he goes, I don't know about

464
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: that position because I birdied that whole. I didn't know. Yeah,

465
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: birdie seventeen, no big deal, not from those teams obviously,

466
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: but it really was just absolutely it's the coolest place.

467
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: It is magical, and it was just one big shot

468
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: after another, like very rarely were any of those final

469
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: groups in Trouble. No, they were unbelievable. Camp Stith was

470
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: unreal And it's funny. When I played there the last time,

471
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: when I did get the back to back birds to

472
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: walk off, we were playing with me my cousin Danny,

473
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: and we were playing with a guy from Australia actually

474
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: who was there with his wife, who was a beast.

475
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: He was like a one or two and between the

476
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: three of us, one of us birdied every hole on

477
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 1: the back nine because we were playing was like magical day.

478
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: It was just insane. It was out of buying his

479
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: spiritual But I texted my cousin like we were with

480
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: an Australian now one one right there, just nuts and

481
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 1: his look is great when he says like I can't

482
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: wait to find how many beers can fit in this thing.

483
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: It was great. I felt bad for Rory obviously, but

484
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: I mean, when a guy goes out there and makes everything,

485
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? Like there's nothing you can do.

486
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what the money descript was,

487
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 1: but him going from for a second, that guy eagled

488
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 1: because well the part of the tough part was if

489
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: you're playing for money, right, If he's like that was

490
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: all he wanted to do it and he had to

491
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: try to make that chip, he would hit that chip

492
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 1: differently if he was just trying to get it close

493
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: and leave himself a makable putt, but just wild. And

494
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: I think it was so cool. It was so Cameron

495
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: Smith made two point five million for the win. Okay,

496
00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 1: one point four five five for Young malt n three

497
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: thousand half. That's correct. Smith's about to go to the

498
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 1: Live Tour on a ninety mill guarantee. I think you

499
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 1: should be asking for more, like I just won the

500
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: second at the p g A and just won the

501
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: He's sly and David Charity as well, and maybe Charles

502
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: Barkley by the way. It was great to hear Charity.

503
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, why can we not get this guy on

504
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: regular golf. He should be at Augusta. He just makes

505
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: everything sound cool. It all sounds cooler when yeah, it

506
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: just sounds cool. He's great. I don't know. I just

507
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: thought it was a great I thought it was a

508
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: great weekend of golf like that. The movement, you know,

509
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: just every you knew you had to keep performing because

510
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: everyone was coming. If any of those guys in the

511
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: top had faltered, there were ten guys at twelve or

512
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: thirteen right there that would have just made it insane.

513
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it was awesome. It really was. It was incredible.

514
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 1: And by the way, I've got to tip my hat.

515
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: Rory McElroy had to be inside, just gutted, and there

516
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 1: was probably he wanted to get out of there. He

517
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: certainly didn't want to do an interview. He doesn't interview,

518
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: and the inner of the woman interviewing him starts her

519
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: question with, now, you haven't won a major since two

520
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 1: thousand and fourteen, you know, how are you feeling right now?

521
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: And you could kind of see he was just like

522
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 1: but he handled it was such class. Everything he said

523
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 1: was grace. Said, Look, I played, I'm not mad about

524
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,239
Speaker 1: how I played. I played well. I hit a lot

525
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: of really good puts. They just didn't go in. Like

526
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: I'm not mad, he said, But it is disappointing, he said.

527
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: I'm knocking on the door and hopefully I'll get through.

528
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 1: But he handled the post part of it with such

529
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,959
Speaker 1: class and and really with the juxtaposition of the PGA

530
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 1: tour and the live tour and what it all means,

531
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: and that he's kind of the face of the PGA

532
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 1: tour right now, and that everybody was rooting for him,

533
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: and he hit so many pots that he had to hit.

534
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: He just couldn't get the ball in the hole. He

535
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: handled it with tremendous classes. And I'm a bigger Rory

536
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: McElroy fan now than I was going into it real

537
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: quick because we're up against it. Thoughts on the Tiger

538
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: Walk on Friday. You were not here on the show,

539
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: but Oh and I both talked about it like it

540
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: was emotional, and we were emotional. I'm on the plane

541
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: and the flat I was on had direct TV on it,

542
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: which I didn't know there was even still a thing.

543
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: So I was watching it and I got emotionals. He's

544
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: walking over the bridge and he gets up there and

545
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, he hits it the three feet

546
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: so I'm like, Okay, he's gonna finish with a birdie. Awesome, perfect,

547
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: And then he missed it and you could see in

548
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: the plane. I was like, ah, the guy next wash

549
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: and you look around a bunch of people are like, uh,

550
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: like h come on. Just the gusts of the wind,

551
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: anything make that ball go in the hole. It was

552
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: by the way that he was not the only one.

553
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: There were plenty of guys from three to five ft

554
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: all weekend that couldn't make that it there. Man like

555
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: Smith's two potts on seventeen and eighteen to get down

556
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: in four from where he was on seventeen and eighteen,

557
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: so two on each oll, Like I'm I probably could

558
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: go out there. The average golfer could go out there.

559
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: You could try that probably twenty times from each spot

560
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: and maybe not get that same result that put on seventeen.

561
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: He has to hit it hard enough so that it

562
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: doesn't go fall right in and you heard has like

563
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: pros have done that and putting it into the bunker,

564
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: and then not dated too hard that he hits it

565
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: way past and then has an impossible put back. He

566
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: does that, and then the one through the Valley of Sin,

567
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: he hit that thirty ft right up a hill and

568
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: then it had to swing it back to the left,

569
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: and no, does it swing but it's almost a tap in. Yeah,

570
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: if you miss it left, it's gonna go back down.

571
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: Insane like Hoveland didn't even get his first one up.

572
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: There was a rough day for for Victor. All right,

573
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be a rough day for your ears

574
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: when we come back. Anthony Poisel in studio talking about

Speaker 1: talking wide receivers. We've got to see he's a position

584
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: previews going on Clem Browns dot com on the Brown's

Speaker 1: mobile lap and you've got the written word from you.

586

Speaker 1: I do a video as well. We can buttress that

587
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: if there are rookies in the position group with the

588
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: Browns breakdown. So a lot of content to get people excited. Yeah,

589
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: get the full the full package, get them ready to

590
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: go here. So let's start with this wide receiver room

591
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: right now, and just kind of in your mind, where

592
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: are you at with this group? What do you kind

593
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: of make of it. Yeah, I mean obviously it starts

594
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: off with Amari Cooper. That's that's the one guy, um

595
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: that I think a lot of people are are most excited. Well,

596
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: I mean he's gonna be getting the most targets, he's

597
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: gonna be you know, producing the most. Like that's gonna

598
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: be your top receiver period, no matter whose quarterback. I mean,

599
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: it's it's all he's done since he's been drafted in

600
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: two thousand fifteen. It's you know, he's got five seasons

601
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: where he's top two thousand yards out of the seven

602
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: years he's played in the league. And those other two

603
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: seasons weren't even bad, like it was just just in

604
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: gets a thousand. But um, I mean he's done, just

605
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: done nothing but consistent, you know, play consistently and produce

606
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: and then you know, kind of he's a lot of

607
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: fun to watch. And then after him, I mean there's

608
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: still a lot of fun pieces. I think a lot

609
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: of guys that have the chance to kind of have

610
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: a breakout year this year. Um. And I think the

611
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:04,959
Speaker 1: guy that's sort of at the top up list, at

612
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: least in my opinion, would be Donavan. People's Jones, I

613
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:08,719
Speaker 1: don't know, that's not what it looked like in one

614
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: of yours. You've got to earn his opportunities. You're getting

615
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: a lot of flak for that, like where's your love

616
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: for DPJ? But they just had the weight I was

617
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: getting there, like we got to we had to get

618
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: to the other ten questions series and now we're talking

619
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: about him a little bit more. But I mean, I

620
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: really do think he is in for you know, his

621
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: his biggest year yet. You saw already did last year

622
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: just leading a team and receiving yards and um, you

623
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: know you'd you'd like to see. I mean, he's gonna

624
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: get more consistent targets this year. I mean the way

625
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: that the receiver room looks now is is he's going

626
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: to be a more featured guy in the offense. And um,

627
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: I mean you just look back to the fact two

628
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: ze of you know, he was drafting the sixth round

629
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: and now he's he's in position like like I think

630
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: you were spelling out and one of you and one

631
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: of the stuff that you wrote for me is you

632
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: know that you said that one of the things you

633
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: wrote for me to look at him. Hear that he

634
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: did appreciate. But like if he if he keeps up.

635
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: You know, the rate that he's you know, been catching

636
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: football isn't producing and rece like he could be in

637
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: for a thousand years season as well. So I mean

638
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: that would be insane, and that would mean everything's clicking

639
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: well on the offense. Um. But I mean it's really

640
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: not that far out of out of the round with

641
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: possibility for him. So, um, we've seen him make so

642
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: many impressive catches over the last few years and I

643
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: definitely had a few more big games last year. UM,

644
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: And I you know, I think he's the Browns are

645
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: kind of putting him in this position now where it's like, hey,

646
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: like if you want to be a guy that can

647
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: you know, get eight targets eight ten targets a game,

648
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,959
Speaker 1: like you know, here you go. Um. So he's definitely

649
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 1: somebody else that I think it could be in for

650
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: a breakout year. And then obviously you know, got David Bell,

651
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,959
Speaker 1: Anthony Schwartz to other guys that um are also going

652
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: to be kind of given some of those opportunities this year.

653
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: So I know, things with Bell, I mean, he could

654
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: be an instant contributor week one. He could be somebody

655
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: that you know, maybe slowly comes along but can still

656
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: end up being a pretty big player in this receiving

657
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: room by the end of the year. So, um, I know,

658
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: you know, we've talked a lot about how good of

659
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 1: a spring he had. Just I know, he said he's

660
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: down for zero drops in year a book. In his book,

661
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: he's one. I don't we don't have the tapes, but

662
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: I got the people he was falling down. Wasn't his money,

663
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,719
Speaker 1: but but I mean, yeah, but uh, but no, I mean,

664
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: he still had a tremendous spring. Just you can see

665
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: how comfortable he already was. Um, and that's just such

666
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: a good thing to see. I think he's also a guy,

667
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: you know, drafting the third round that seemed like the

668
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: really one of the only reasons why he was sitting

669
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 1: there in the third round, which just because he had

670
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: a so forty time. But there's a lot of examples

671
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,320
Speaker 1: of receivers over the years that have you know, shown

672
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: that fourt time isn't everything. Right, Jervis Slander has been

673
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: incredibly productive player in this league. Did not have a

674
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: great forty time and and he's been just fine. I

675
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:31,320
Speaker 1: think you're right. You look at the kind of the

676
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: top of the room, Amari Cooper. He mentioned five seasons

677
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: with a thousand yards, four time Pro bowler, He's got

678
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: seven thousand, seventy six yards forty six touchdowns in his career,

679
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 1: Considered one of the premier route runners. He's got eight

680
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,959
Speaker 1: or more touchdowns to the last three d PJ, which again,

681
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: and I think this is what you're alluding to. So

682
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 1: he leads a team in receiving, which I feel like

683
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: you most people would not have that fact that our

684
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: leading receiver this year, I think is gonna have significantly

685
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: more than that, which is a good thing. Yeah, but

686
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: that's where he was for his career. Eight teen point

687
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 1: eight yards catch, eleven point six yards per target. And

688
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: what stood out to me, and when one of the

689
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: articles that we did for for you was if you

690
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: were to give this kid, you know, a thousand or

691
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:13,760
Speaker 1: a hundred targets, let's just call it a hundred targets

692
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: in a season, just going on his career metrics career,

693
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 1: he'd give you eleven hundred and sixty yards receiving, and

694
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: he'd score about eight and a half touchdowns, nine touchdowns,

695
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 1: and he'd average, you know, eighteen yards of catch. Those

696
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: are those probo numbers. So he doesn't even have that

697
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,359
Speaker 1: many targets in two seasons. You know, when you think

698
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 1: about what the star receivers get in this league, he

699
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: doesn't have that, and now he's got to earn that,

700
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: and you would imagine his efficiency will only go up

701
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 1: with improved quarterback play. But this is a guy and

702
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: for his career, which is not a loss, seventy eight targets,

703
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,919
Speaker 1: that's his career. That's not a lot. For Davante Adams

704
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 1: will loft double that and its numbers on seventy targets,

705
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,320
Speaker 1: nine hundred one yards, five touchdowns, Like, this is a

706
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: guy that I think has a real potential to really

707
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 1: become something special. And I know that O'shey loves that

708
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 1: he's on top of everything mentally as the respect of

709
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: everybody in the locker room. And so those look like

710
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 1: you're top two. You mentioned Bell and what Chadowsha told

711
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: me was he's exactly who he thought he was. Makes

712
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 1: us very happy. Yeah, I mean all he's done it

713
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: like throughout the spring was just catch, catch the footballs

714
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: and uh, you know it's it's good. He's a good

715
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: route runner as well. I think we'll see more of

716
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: that in training camp. One sort of the practice intense

717
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 1: he kind of ramps up a little bit and the

718
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: pads come on, it will be really nice. But um,

719
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: you know, Bell is also going to be one of

720
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: the guys that that you can maybe you know, count

721
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: on seeing a lot of during the preseason. Just because

722
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 1: he's a rookie. They're gonna want to get him into

723
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 1: that game action. Um So, I just think over the

724
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: next month or two, he'll be one of the most

725
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: discussed guys coming out of training camp just because there

726
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: are there's gonna be similar to the spring, a lot

727
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 1: of like passing ups going around for these guys. That

728
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 1: is that's the main part of the offense that they

729
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 1: wanted to really make sure that they improved this year.

730
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: And that means that they're going to keep throwing the

731
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 1: football in these practices and we're gonna get a lot

732
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 1: of opportunities to see just how ready David Bell is

733
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: for you know, it's first NFL regular season. We're gonna

734
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: see see a lot of opportunities to see just how

735
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: ready DPJ is for this you know, number two receiver role.

736
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: And then you know you talk about Schwartz too, like

737
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,439
Speaker 1: now he's had a fully healthy offseason, a fully healthy spring.

738
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: How big could that be for him? You know how?

739
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: That's the guy, right, That's the guy. To me, he's

740
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: the one. While he might not play the most, what

741
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 1: he is able to do the threat of what he

742
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 1: is able to do. Guy who had nine touchdowns in

743
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: more than fifty yards at Auburn didn't materialize last year,

744
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:30,240
Speaker 1: started great three catches sixty nine Kansas City. But he's

745
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: the one guy. Amri is not that guy. DPJ is

746
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: not that guy. David Bell is not that guy. Now,

747
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 1: DPJ say, how could he not be a deep threat?

748
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: He average eighteen and a half yards is a catch

749
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 1: of his career. He makes a lot of great contested

750
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: catches and he's able to get down the field great

751
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: route right, But he's not a burner. He's not elite

752
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: like the track runner and everything out the cover with

753
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 1: just how how we need he's the one, And I

754
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,320
Speaker 1: think I think our receiver if Anthony Schwartz has a

755
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: good training camp and they're very pleased him, I think

756
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: our receiver room is pretty set. I think that if

757
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: he if they don't think he's ready, I think that's

758
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,720
Speaker 1: when you could see a veteran burner maybe being tabbed

759
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 1: to be brought in here, right. Well, I mean they

760
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: also have somebody he's not a deep threat, but you

761
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: also have somebody else like Achim Grants, so we haven't

762
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: touched on. He's also has that speed and can sort

763
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: of be that that gadget type of player you know. Uh.

764
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: In the spring, we did see them run quite a

765
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: few plays where it was sort of like an end

766
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 1: around to Jachim or just trying to find ways to

767
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 1: get him involved in the offense. And I think that's

768
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: a big reason why they brought him in as well.

769
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 1: He's probably not going to be, you know, a big

770
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: featured guy in the offense, but he's still gonna be

771
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 1: somebody that adds a few unique wrinkles each week, and

772
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 1: you know, it can also keep a defense guessing. And UM,

773
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: I think Schwartz kind of can you know, falls in

774
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,879
Speaker 1: that same category to um. You know, like you said,

775
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: we saw him take quite a few like deep balls

776
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 1: last year and UM, you know, you'd like to see

777
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: him be a little more consistent now that he's got

778
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: a year under his belt. So I think those two guys,

779
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 1: just the kind of speed and sort of that gadget

780
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: player type element that they have, UM, can really help

781
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: you know, make this wide receiver room be one that

782
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: can stretch a defense every single week, which is is

783
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: so important to do in today's NFL. And you know,

784
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 1: especially in in the NFC North with how to into

785
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: a secondary that they have down in Baltimore, and just

786
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: you know the type of division that they're in, it's

787
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 1: important to have a receiver room that is versatile like

788
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 1: this in construction defense. You're right, and I think if

789
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: you look at it, you've got five guys that are

790
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: gonna make the team, right, Amari Cooper down Wan People's Jones,

791
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,320
Speaker 1: David Bell, Anthony Schwartz, and then I would say Jachem Grant.

792
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: Now whether he's counted in our fifty three as a

793
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: receiver he's kind of a return guy, doesn't matter, but

794
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: it's one spot and he's likely to do both. And

795
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 1: you mentioned him as a receiver in his last two

796
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 1: years five five yards, receiving three touchdowns. He's great in space.

797
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: So I think what's interesting is who will be the

798
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: sixth receiver on this team? And I think that becomes

799
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 1: a very fascinating discussion. And you've got JaMarcus Bradley, who's

800
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 1: in five games last year caught all four of his

801
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 1: targets for sixty four yards. They like him. An undrafted

802
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: free agent who got that start against the Jets won

803
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,399
Speaker 1: our whole receiver room went out with COVID a couple

804
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,359
Speaker 1: of years when at five for sixty to lead the team,

805
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 1: You've got Mike Woods, you drafted in out of Oklahoma,

806
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: and and I'll tell you what, Chad Osha is liking

807
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: what he's seen from him once he was able to

808
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: get on the field. And then we've got a bunch

809
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: of You've got a guy in Javon Wims who's big,

810
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: four year veteran, been in thirty three career games, seven starts.

811
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: And then the undrafted free agents Isaiah Weston who's tall

812
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: and can run. A guy whoever's twenty three point nine

813
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 1: yards a catch last year. He then Iowa the all

814
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: time leading pass catcher in the history of that You

815
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: Mike Harley Jr. Smaller guy, but shadow Sha likes him too,

816
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,839
Speaker 1: and then Travell Harris. So a lot of guys though

817
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 1: really competing for one spot probably on the roster and

818
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 1: then practice squad spots. Right, I mean, it's definitely gonna

819
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,800
Speaker 1: be This is why to me, the back end of

820
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: this is why the receiver position in the battle. Yeah,

821
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: we have to mention felt exactly. But this is why,

822
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 1: to me, like the receiver competition is the most interesting

823
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 1: of this campus just because there's there's a lot of

824
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: like guys that have a lot of promise, you're young guys,

825
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 1: but there's only so so few many spots and and

826
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: like you just said, you know, the fact that we

827
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: haven't eve talked about him aout the metric. Felton is

828
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: another guy that you could consider a wide receiver. I

829
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:46,800
Speaker 1: mean he's both a running back in a receiver, but

830
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 1: throughout the spring and even just a jurky season, we

831
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 1: saw him making most of his plays as a receiver

832
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: and is I'm sure that's going to keep happening in

833
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: training camp. But yeah, I mean of the guys you mentioned,

834
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 1: like I think with Isaiah Weston and Mike Harley, you

835
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,720
Speaker 1: know there's two guys both had a couple of impressive

836
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 1: moments towards the end of the spring, and um, I'd

837
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 1: be really curious to see how they keep doing in

838
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 1: training camp. And UM, you know, I'm sure we'll have

839
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 1: several practices where it's like wow, like one of these

840
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 1: back and guys played really well, or maybe it will

841
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 1: happen in a preseason game, and it's just gonna be

842
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: a really intriguing competition to see which of these guys

843
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: can can maybe crack that six wide receiver spot. Can

844
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,959
Speaker 1: the metric Felton and Mike Woods both make this team?

845
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: I think so. I think if the metric felt in

846
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: making the team means there might be a surprise movie

847
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: at running back just because I don't. I mean, it

848
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: depends on if they right. It would be a big surprise.

849
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 1: But I mean, I'm not saying I don't think the

850
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 1: metricon should be on the team. He also looked well

851
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 1: in spring. He played really well last year as well.

852
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: But um, I'm I have to say I feel lucky

853
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: that I'm not in a move. We have to make

854
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 1: those kind of decisions because there are going to be

855
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: some talented players that I mean, there's fifty three. When

856
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: you have a roster like this is is not it

857
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 1: just feels so small in some certain positions, and this

858
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: is gonna be one of them. I think there's gonna be,

859
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: you know, players that you know they're really gonna want

860
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: to keep. If it wasn't for the kind of depth

861
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: that they have and some of the you know, top

862
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 1: starters that they have in these positions, and there's gonna

863
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 1: be tough decisions coming down. Um. This is also you know,

864
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: the biggest draft class they've had. But is it, like,

865
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: can you really fit nine rookies on this fifty three

866
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 1: man roster. It's just seems unlikely. So um, I mean,

867
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: I think there is a situation where Mike Woods and

868
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:16,919
Speaker 1: Felton can both make this, but they both are gonna

869
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: have to have pretty good camps for for that to

870
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 1: be something that the coaching stuff kind of pond. It's

871
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,479
Speaker 1: gonna be hard. And I think the biggest again question

872
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: mark with this room is is Anthony Schwartz. What is

873
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 1: Anthony Schwartz in the year two? Is he somebody that

874
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: you can rely on and count on to help open

875
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 1: up this offense or are you going to have to

876
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,280
Speaker 1: bring somebody else in which would make it even harder

877
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,399
Speaker 1: for people to make this team in that room? Yeah, yeah,

878
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's a huge training camp for him.

879
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 1: And again, you know, just the fact that he's been

880
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 1: healthy and has actually been able to you know, take

881
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: reps is going to be massive for him. Um, hopefully

882
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: that can keep up through training camp. I know, you know,

883
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: he was just definitely one of the players during the

884
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 1: spring that was that had the ball in his hands

885
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: the most um. And now that you know the kind

886
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:53,839
Speaker 1: of practice intense, he's going to ramp up a little

887
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 1: bit and maybe you know, the offense will be throwing

888
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 1: some new new kind of plays at the defense, just

889
00:42:58,440 --> 00:42:59,840
Speaker 1: because over the course of spring, you know, it's a

890
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: lot of sort of like repetition sometimes. Um, but I

891
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 1: think he's he's going to be a guy that I'm

892
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:07,359
Speaker 1: gonna have circled as one that you know, you gotta

893
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 1: watch him throughout the whole train camp. So ye, some

894
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,359
Speaker 1: news just in Ian Rampaport on the Pat McFie shows

895
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 1: that there's a chance we get to Shaun Watson decision

896
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 1: this week. So that is another just kind of time

897
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 1: like but he's saying there's a chance. That's like anybody,

898
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 1: just a chance of anything. I feel like we've been

899
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 1: saying there's been a chance to last like two or

900
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:26,359
Speaker 1: three first So we'll report is we'll see what ends

901
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 1: up happening there. ESPN. Sticking with the wide receivers, they

902
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 1: had their top ten wide receivers voted on by NFL

903
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,959
Speaker 1: exex coaches and players. Um, not one Cleveland Brown has mentioned,

904
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 1: and that's okay. I think Mary Cooper should absolutely have

905
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:39,840
Speaker 1: been there, at least in the honorable mention kicked the

906
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 1: man in top he's in the top ten of the man.

907
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: Is not in the top ten of the man. Yeah,

908
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: that was a little bit of a stunt, surpriser. Uh,

909
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 1: and neither is Deebo Samuel also a shocker. Here's what

910
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 1: the list they came out with. One Davante Adams to

911
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup who just won the Triple Crown. Three Jamar

912
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: Chase for Justin Jefferson, Justin Jefferson's elite five Tyreek Hill,

913
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,359
Speaker 1: Sixtefon dig seven, DeAndre Hopkins eight Mike Evans who all

914
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: he does is produced. Nine Deebo Samuel, ten DK Metcalf

915

Speaker 1: wide receivers in the NFL. There's a good receivers. Yeah,

920
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 1: if there's one thing to take away from this offseason,

921
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,880
Speaker 1: just all the wide receiver movement, all the big contracts,

922
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 1: everything that was going on, I mean, and then you

923
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 1: kind of go through the list like that and you

924
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 1: just you understand why, like there's so much value and

925
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 1: being like some guys those some of those guys are

926
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: playing on the same football team, which is just crazy.

927
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: But it's like, you know, it's just such a such

928
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: a important time right now to make sure you have

929
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: like top wide receivers and obviously you gotta have a

930
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 1: good quarterback that goes with it too, but um, the

931
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,399
Speaker 1: value for the all those guys just being a great

932
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:52,800
Speaker 1: wider step in the NFL is just skyrocketed this offseason.

933
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: And you know we've we've talked about this before too,

934
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: but you know, we talked about Marie Cooper, how they

935
00:44:57,640 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: were able to get him for a fifth round pick

936
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 1: in a sixth round up, Uh, you know, basically before

937
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 1: all all those big moves went down, and it's just,

938
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 1: you know, crazy that they were able to get him

939
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 1: at that that kind of value. It was really one

940
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 1: of the more like impressive underrated moves of the offseason.

941
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 1: I feel like when you look across all the other

942
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 1: things that happened in the NFL, no doubt about it.

943
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: And by the way, they were asked after Jamar Chase

944
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 1: field people are getting sing he's a man and snub

945
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: They said, Jamar Chase is a top blank receiver. Greg

946
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 1: Newsom Art Corner spotted I saw the top five to

947
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: five receiver, which is interesting because he did pretty well

948
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 1: against them. He did. I I remember Newsom saying last

949
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: year that that Jamar Chase, I think was I think

950
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 1: I have this right that he was the toughest receiver

951
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: he faced all last year and it was a great,

952
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 1: a great battle both games. Um, I think of the

953
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 1: one game, I forget which one, if it was a

954
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 1: home or the away game, but yeah, Greg had like

955
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 1: his best game was like three p b U s

956
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,840
Speaker 1: and um, I think like Jamar Chase was limited. I

957
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:48,320
Speaker 1: hope nobody tries to read that is that it's like

958
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 1: a disrespect. No, I don't think that's very much. That

959
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:52,800
Speaker 1: is very much a compliment. Yeah, I think it's a

960
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 1: very complimentary yea from Greg Newsom, who I think is

961
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: going to be when this year's over. I'm saying I'm

962
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 1: playing my flag and they knew some. I think I

963
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: think people might say he's a top five corner in

964
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: the NFL when this season is over. A p R Right,

1006

Speaker 1: time Brown season ticket holder since the eighties who just

1009
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: you know of being a prominent member of the dog Pound.

1010
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 1: All right, back to the phones we go, two one six,

1011
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 1: zero fifty. If we're gonna do the phones, there's no

1012
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 1: better way to start than with Blanca. I've actually debated

1013
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 1: about making him like a weekly contributor. Blank is the greatest.

1014
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,799
Speaker 1: I've had great memories with Blanca on the air, off

1015
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 1: the air. A legend really in his own time, wonderful human.

1016
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,399
Speaker 1: And and he guess what, he's joined the program right now. Buck,

1017
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 1: what's up, dude, Nathan love it. Congratulations. A legend in

1018
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 1: my own mind. I don't know, a legend in my

1019
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 1: own kind, but own time. I said, a legend your

1020
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 1: own time, my own time. I don't know. I think

1021
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: you're probably legendary. I'm just trying to live up to it. Nathan.

1022
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 1: Just so, guys, thank you so much. Love the show. Congratulations.

1023
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:24,240
Speaker 1: Most importantly, where are we at with our defensive line?

1024
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 1: I know it's not sexy. I know it's not what

1025
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:30,479
Speaker 1: everybody wants to talk about, But of anything in my head,

1026
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 1: who is going to stop the run this year? For us?

1027
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 1: I need to know this alright, Blanc and you are

1028
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 1: a legend. And I appreciate the phone call, and I

1029
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:41,760
Speaker 1: like that you're focused on that. A little smash mouth football,

1030
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 1: a little hard nosed football, wants to know what's going on.

1031
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:46,319
Speaker 1: And I know he obviously isn't talking about what's going

1032
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 1: on on the edges of our defensive line, because that's easy, right,

1033
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 1: what's going on the edge. We've got Jadevian Clowney, We've

1034
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 1: got Miles Garrett back, so we're good there. So we're saying,

1035
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: talk to me about the interior of the defensive line,

1036
00:49:57,520 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 1: and so that's what I'm gonna do. So here's where

1037
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 1: we are. Last year's starters, the Maliks not with us anymore.

1038
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 1: So we've got some new faces and some also some

1039
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 1: familiar faces that are gonna have an opportunity to step up.

1040
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 1: I think we've got five guys right now, and I

1041
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 1: would say to you, block into everybody listening if there's

1042
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,319
Speaker 1: one room. I wrote about it at Browns dot com

1043
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 1: where we really don't know who's gonna start. I can

1044
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 1: tell you why I think is gonna start as of now.

1045
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 1: But we've got training camp in the preseason to go

1046
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:23,320
Speaker 1: to sort this out. I don't think there's a but

1047
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 1: who's guaranteed a starting job. But here are the principles involved.

1048
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:30,800
Speaker 1: And by the way, let me just say this, the

1049
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:34,279
Speaker 1: Browns defense is built to get you to throw the

1050
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 1: football and for us to be able to get after

1051
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 1: the quarterback. With Myles Garrett and Jadevian Clowney, you know

1052
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:40,840
Speaker 1: we've got Chase win of it. You're bringing Alex right

1053
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 1: on the outside, will be in three defensive ends and

1054
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 1: a lot of those pass rushing situations. There's reports over

1055
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 1: the weekend the tech McKinley is doing well and that

1056
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 1: he wants to come back, and that there's mutual interest

1057
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:50,440
Speaker 1: there on what would be a cheap one year deal.

1058
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 1: And I'm bored big Tech McKinley guy. I thought I

1059
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 1: thought he was excellent last year before he suffered that injury.

1060
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,400
Speaker 1: So that's what we're on the outside. So on the inside,

1061
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: we've got Jordan Ellie It, who was the Brown's third

1062
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 1: round pick in last year. Sixteen games, career high four

1063
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:07,399
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty four snaps, He not his first half

1064
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:09,800
Speaker 1: sack against the Ravens, career highs and pressures ten and

1065
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:13,240
Speaker 1: tackles with twenty six. He's had a great off season.

1066
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 1: We've heard that before. We need him to step up

1067
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 1: because I think it's likely right now he's somebody that

1068
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 1: could start for you. Now. Next to him is the

1069
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 1: big Taven Bryant, former first round pick of the jackson

1070
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:26,320
Speaker 1: two thousand and eighteen. It was the twenty ninth overall

1071
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,799
Speaker 1: picked that year. And I talked with Chris Kiffin, our

1072
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:31,439
Speaker 1: defensive line coach, about Taven Brian, and what he told

1073
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:35,800
Speaker 1: me was we felt that he was used not the

1074
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:38,320
Speaker 1: way we would use him in Jacksonville. So in Jacksonville

1075
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 1: they were having him play positions and in rolls and

1076
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 1: in styles that the Browns wouldn't. So the Browns identified

1077
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 1: him early in free agency. They felt that he was

1078
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 1: a great talent and a perfect scheme fit for what

1079
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: the Browns were gonna do. What they're attacking four man front,

1080
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 1: and so they got Brian. Remember that was done early

1081
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 1: in free agency. That may have been day one. It

1082
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 1: was either day one or day two. It was right

1083
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:58,839
Speaker 1: away in free agency. He's got sixty three career games,

1084
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 1: seventeen starts, five and a half sacks, fifteen tackles for

1085
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 1: lost eighties six tackles in his career. So if you

1086
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:06,320
Speaker 1: said today, that's who I would pencil it in. And again,

1087
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:08,759
Speaker 1: the Browns are not afraid of teams trying to run

1088
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 1: the football. I go back to this step, which I

1089
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 1: think is so fascinating. Right, the best running back in

1090
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 1: the league, so are Nick Chubb, for example, is gonna

1091
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 1: give you about five and a half yards to carry.

1092
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 1: That's the best. The worst quarterback in the NFL is

1093
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 1: going to give you more than six yards an attempt.

1094
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 1: So it's always more efficient to throw the football than

1095
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 1: it is to run it. Always. The Browns are built

1096
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 1: on stopping the past. You must be able to stop

1097
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 1: the past to win. And I think they feel like

1098
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 1: the combination of both of our ends, by the way,

1099
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,319
Speaker 1: are tremendous run defenders. Miles Garrett and Clowney both great

1100
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:39,439
Speaker 1: run defenders. They think Alex Wright will be an excellent

1101
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 1: run defender as well. Our linebackers are very good against

1102
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 1: the run, whether that's Walker Phillips hockey j Okay. Our

1103
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:48,319
Speaker 1: corners all tackle, our safeties all tackle, so they feel

1104
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:50,719
Speaker 1: good about that. But Ellien and Brian those are the

1105
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 1: starters right now. I would say pencil them in pushing them.

1106
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 1: You've got Perry On win three, our fourth round pick

1107
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 1: out of Oklahoma. Again, a guy that they thought played

1108
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:00,360
Speaker 1: out of position in college. He was a zero or untack,

1109
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 1: a true nose tackled Oklahoma. He plays the three technique

1110
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:04,919
Speaker 1: in the Senior Bowl. Guess what That's what he's gonna

1111
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 1: play with the Cleveland Browns. He was the m v

1112
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 1: P of the Senior Bowl. The Browns are excited about him.

1113
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:12,400
Speaker 1: It's not hard to imagine scenario which Parren Winfrey contributes

1114
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:15,319
Speaker 1: as a rookie this year. Then he got Tommy Toy

1115
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 1: her fourth round picked last year out of the Ohio

1116
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 1: State University. Got active uh starting Week ten against New England.

1117
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:23,879
Speaker 1: Six games, d, twenty five snaps, two pressures, half a sax,

1118
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 1: sixteen tackles, incredibly strong, and he's the guy that they

1119
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 1: think can use his strength to help buttress this run

1120
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 1: defense in the middle. And then the fifth name that

1121
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:34,400
Speaker 1: I will leave you with his Sheldon Day, who is

1122
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 1: back a six year veteran from the fourth round pick

1123
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:39,320
Speaker 1: of the Jackson two thousand sixteen UH last year, started

1124
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 1: against Green Bay, played very very well, a very talented

1125
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 1: guy and one of those guys that it feels like

1126
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:47,800
Speaker 1: no matter what they do, you know, they try to

1127
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 1: upgrade him, replace him, whatever, He's just always here. Why

1128
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 1: because he is a very talented player who knows how

1129
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:56,840
Speaker 1: to play and knows how to produce. He's being in

1130
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:59,840
Speaker 1: big situations as well. Sheldon Day, let's not forget, was

1131
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,760
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, right, he was in the Super

1132
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 1: Bowl with the forty Niners on that line. So Chris Kiffin,

1133
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:08,360
Speaker 1: who was the defensive line coach there, knows him and

1134
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:10,320
Speaker 1: so they have a lot of confidence in him. And

1135
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:11,920
Speaker 1: then a couple of their names just keep an eye on.

1136
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:14,640
Speaker 1: You got Glenn Logan, a big three hundred pound run

1137
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 1: stuffer out of ls you started the basically his whole

1138
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 1: career at LSU as a national champion. Had half a

1139
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 1: sack in that game against Clemson. Big body. And then

1140
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 1: there's Roderick Perry, undrafted free agent l Illinois All Big

1141
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:29,719
Speaker 1: Ten Honorable mention. So Logan is somebody if you're saying,

1142
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:32,320
Speaker 1: all right, diamond in the rough potential for run defense

1143
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:35,320
Speaker 1: in particular, that's who it is. But they like Elliott,

1144
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 1: they like Brian. Brian's a big guy. You got Winfree,

1145
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:39,759
Speaker 1: Toya and Shilling. I think those are your top five

1146
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 1: that are gonna try to go ahead and and shut

1147
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:44,800
Speaker 1: down the run in the middle. And now, look, run defenses,

1148
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,959
Speaker 1: it takes everybody. They have an opportunity though, As I said,

1149
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 1: I think to be great on the ends, great the

1150
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:52,920
Speaker 1: second level. And in fact, Warren Sharp just listed his

1151
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 1: top front sevens in the NFL and had the Browns.

1152
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:57,080
Speaker 1: I think seventh, and he has the Browns is one

1153
00:54:57,120 --> 00:54:59,319
Speaker 1: of the top back ends in the NFL as well.

1154
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 1: That's why this is going to be a very very

1155
00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 1: good defense for the Cleveland Browns here. I think it's

1156
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 1: a chance to be elite. All right, back to the

1157
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 1: phones we go. Stephen is on the phone. Stephen, you're

1158
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 1: on Cleveland Brown's Daily with Nathan's a girl. What's up, Stephen?

1159
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 1: He should be up, Stephen? Are you there? All right?

1160
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:32,440
Speaker 1: Moving on? Moving on, Saved by the bell, Saved by

1161
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 1: the bell. It ain't nothing new, listening man, We're doing

1162
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 1: good man, we got the Browns. The Brownies are going

1163
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 1: to come into town. Didn't matter where we're at, away

1164
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 1: or home, We're gonna kill everybody. We got the Shawn Watson,

1165
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:48,879
Speaker 1: that quarterback, the dude, the top five in the league

1166
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 1: for how many years? People are gonna argue it all

1167
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 1: day long. It don't matter. We've got the best defense,

1168
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 1: got the youngest studs, get the best d n. I mean,

1169
00:55:57,280 --> 00:55:59,400
Speaker 1: come on, guys, who's going to touch us? The Steelers?

1170
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 1: Can you pick it? Boys? This is our year. I

1171
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:06,840
Speaker 1: certainly see even appreciate the call. I like it a statement.

1172
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:08,480
Speaker 1: You just made a statement, and you're fired up. I

1173
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 1: like it. I'm excited it is, and I'm excited about

1174
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:14,720
Speaker 1: this defense. I really am. I think that the Cleveland

1175
00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:17,759
Speaker 1: Browns defense has a real opportunity to be a very

1176
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 1: very special defense. When you talk about the ability to

1177
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:22,920
Speaker 1: get to the quarterback with Garrett and with Clowney, when

1178
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 1: you talk about the versatility and the speed at the

1179
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 1: linebacking corps with Anthony Walker Jr. With j OK, I

1180
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:30,920
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a superstar this year. Jacob Phillips's

1181
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:32,719
Speaker 1: looked great. You got Takie TK and then you go

1182
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 1: to the back end. You know, you look at this

1183
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:37,640
Speaker 1: Brown's team and you say your top three corners, you know,

1184
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:40,120
Speaker 1: Denzel Ward, Greg Newsome, Greedy, that might be one of

1185
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:41,840
Speaker 1: the best trios in the league. Then you go m J.

1186
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 1: Emerson for a J. Green five. So five, basically four

1187
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 1: of your top five corners from a year ago are

1188
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 1: back at m J Emerson and the mix m J Stewart.

1189
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:52,239
Speaker 1: Honest ironically, it's an MJ for an m J. He

1190
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:56,280
Speaker 1: goes to the Houston Texans. And then your safeties John Grant,

1191
00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:59,239
Speaker 1: Ronnie all Back, Rich account Back as well, and m J.

1192
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:01,120
Speaker 1: Stewart who played some safety for you. Again, the only

1193
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:04,759
Speaker 1: notable departure from the back end of this defense for

1194
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 1: Jeff Howard and Brandon Lynch. So there are is a

1195
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:11,839
Speaker 1: great reason to be excited about this defense this year.

1196
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:14,239
Speaker 1: And then obviously the addition of Deshaun Watson will find

1197
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 1: out exactly what that means. Puts us in a position

1198
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 1: where offensively we should be explosive, dangerous, we should be

1199
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:21,760
Speaker 1: able to throw the football effectively. We already know we

1200
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 1: can run the football no matter what. So this is

1201
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 1: a team. Let's not forget that they just scored twenty

1202
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 1: points a game over the second half of the season,

1203
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:31,640
Speaker 1: we win the division just twenty two zero. We couldn't

1204
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:33,640
Speaker 1: do that. Now we're gonna be able to do that.

1205
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 1: And that's why I think there's a lot of optimism

1206
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:37,520
Speaker 1: around this team. And and even though there's still some

1207
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:39,720
Speaker 1: things to figure out and find out exactly what's going

1208
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:42,840
Speaker 1: to happen with Deshaun Watson. Back to the phones we go.

1209
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 1: David is on Cleveland Brown's Daily. David, welcome to the show. Hey,

1210
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 1: thank you for taking my call. Uh. I think the

1211
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:55,200
Speaker 1: tack McKinley. I think the tax McKinley. Uh, potential signing

1212
00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:57,760
Speaker 1: is underrated. I think that is going to be a

1213
00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 1: big help. But I wanted to ask Nathan Um, who

1214
00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:03,320
Speaker 1: do you think is the coolest player on the Browns?

1215
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:07,920
Speaker 1: And why is it j Okay? Why is it Okay?

1216
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 1: So I don't know what you mean necessarily by coolest,

1217
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:13,600
Speaker 1: but j ok has got a lot of swag. Help

1218
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:17,880
Speaker 1: it's got a lot of swag. Greg Newsome does as well. Clowney,

1219
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 1: there are a lot of guys here. If you're saying

1220
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 1: to me the coolest and you're talking just like the

1221
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 1: best dudes or guys that I certainly have enjoyed getting

1222
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 1: to know and and talking to That's a really long

1223
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 1: list to I mean, offensively, job, Atonio, Wyatt, Teller, great dudes, Conklin,

1224
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 1: Nick Harris great. Do We don't know Jet as well

1225
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 1: because he came in in the COVID season, so we

1226
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:41,000
Speaker 1: didn't really get the chance to know him like we

1227
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 1: would have used rookies. Why it's elite job, Betonio is elite,

1228
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 1: Why Teller a fine human. I love talking to Kareem.

1229
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:53,120
Speaker 1: I love talking to Yourris Johnson um. And then you

1230
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 1: go out to the receiver room. Obviously we've we've developed,

1231
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 1: I think on this program, a great relationship with Donovan

1232
00:58:57,440 --> 00:59:00,960
Speaker 1: people's Jones, huge fan of his, just a quality young man,

1233
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:05,000
Speaker 1: great human, rooting for him, great player. Uh. And then

1234
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 1: in the tight end room, love the chief. Couldn't love

1235
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:09,000
Speaker 1: the chief anymore. Harrison Bryant has been great to us

1236
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 1: as well, Demitrich Felton in the receiver room. Uh. And

1237
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:14,920
Speaker 1: then you go defensively like you talked about j Ok

1238
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:17,240
Speaker 1: and j O k is a cool guy. We love

1239
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:19,080
Speaker 1: talking with him. The kind of marches to the beat

1240
00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:21,120
Speaker 1: of his own drummer, which I like about him. He's

1241
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:25,040
Speaker 1: a unique guy. Greg Newsome is as as nice as

1242
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 1: he is talented, and that is to say extremely I

1243
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:30,200
Speaker 1: love having him on the show. He's so easy to

1244
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:31,919
Speaker 1: talk to. Gotten to see him out at some Calves

1245
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 1: games as well. He's always down there in the front row.

1246
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:37,959
Speaker 1: He's a great dude. We love double deuces. John Johnson's great,

1247
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 1: Walker's great Talkie is great. I mean, we're lucky. This

1248
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 1: is a team made up of a lot of very

1249
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:48,480
Speaker 1: likable guys in addition to the fact that there's a

1250
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:50,040
Speaker 1: lot of talent here. So I think that's one of

1251
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:52,160
Speaker 1: the reasons that you're hearing them talk so much about

1252
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:54,920
Speaker 1: the camaraderie and how tight this locker room is, and

1253
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:57,640
Speaker 1: because it's a it's an easy group of people, uh

1254
00:59:57,840 --> 00:59:59,919
Speaker 1: to really really like. And then if you're saying all time,

1255
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 1: I'm you know the guys that on the Mount Rushmore

1256
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:04,840
Speaker 1: at least just kind of right now top of my head,

1267
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:44,240

Speaker 1: fun with your children. Listen. All I will say is

1279
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:24,440
Speaker 1: the one thing I've learned to be on a shadow down.

1280
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:26,480
Speaker 1: Is that tubing is undefeated. I don't think anybody has

1281
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:28,480
Speaker 1: ever had a bad time tubing, So I think the

1282
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:31,040
Speaker 1: more tubing you can do, the halfier. Everybody is going

1283
01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:33,120
Speaker 1: to be involved in that. But thanks for the kind words.

1284
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:35,440
Speaker 1: And there we go, GiB Asie looking, how are you

1285
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:39,040
Speaker 1: still there? I'm here, I'm here, I'm listening and uh

1286
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:42,200
Speaker 1: just got back from the Alpine Slide and Mound Hood.

1287
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 1: I live in Portland, Oregon. And that's a great act.

1288
01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:48,720
Speaker 1: What is the Alpine slide? What is that? What do

1289
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:52,040
Speaker 1: we go down the sliding? Yeah? You you go, uh,

1290
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:55,040
Speaker 1: you go up on a chair lift and it's kind

1291
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:58,720
Speaker 1: of like a little bob sled run. You're kind of

1292
01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 1: on a hard plastics uh you know, sled with a

1293
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:05,760
Speaker 1: with a throttle that pushed down makes you go faster,

1294
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 1: pullback makes you go slower. And my six six and

1295
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 1: a half year old could do it by himself. So

1296
01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 1: great activity for the kids. That was up at the

1297
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:17,040
Speaker 1: Schebow adventure Land near Mount Hood here in Oregon. Oh man,

1298
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:20,360
Speaker 1: that sounds like the best time ever. Oregan's got a

1299
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:22,120
Speaker 1: lot of good stuff up there. You got you're talking

1300
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:24,440
Speaker 1: Mount of Hood area, Portland's a beautiful city, and then

1301
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:27,480
Speaker 1: he got banned in dunes. You've got great peno nours.

1302
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:30,800
Speaker 1: Come on, I mean Oregons, we're in the solid state.

1303
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:37,360
Speaker 1: Nikes up there, Yeah, nikes. Intel. But my question today, gentlemen,

1304
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:41,480
Speaker 1: let's look at the two thousand twenty one draft. No

1305
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 1: rookies were cut. Two thousand twenty two, we got a

1306
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:48,280
Speaker 1: lot of people on the roster. I'm just wondering about

1307
01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:52,040
Speaker 1: that one class to two class. And I'm sensitive to

1308
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:55,680
Speaker 1: uh any PRESIDENTI you know, hurting anyone's feelings, But to

1309
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 1: two oh to one class, I just wonder about Tony

1310
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:01,560
Speaker 1: Fields and Richard LeCount and two oh to two you

1311
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:05,080
Speaker 1: mentioned Mike Woodson and and I'm particularly interested in in

1312
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:08,320
Speaker 1: Isaiah Thomas. How is he looking in any comments? You know,

1313
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:10,400
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of emotional investment. No one

1314
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:12,960
Speaker 1: wants to cut anyone who's drafted, But I just want

1315
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:15,240
Speaker 1: to look at players who are gonna have to really

1316
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:19,400
Speaker 1: perform from two to two one and this year to

1317
01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 1: make the team. Thank you very much. It's a good question. Appreciate.

1318
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:24,840
Speaker 1: So I think everybody's gonna ask to perform. I don't

1319
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:26,520
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be an easy roster to make. And

1320
01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:29,600
Speaker 1: so you look at the Browns draft classes, right, and

1321
01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:34,440
Speaker 1: you go back toe and and you think about how

1322
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:38,160
Speaker 1: many guys were drafted, and this year we had nine

1323
01:03:38,560 --> 01:03:42,280
Speaker 1: on a roster that feels pretty darn complete. And so

1324
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:44,440
Speaker 1: you say to yourself, all right, how can we get

1325
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:46,200
Speaker 1: all these guys on the team. And so you correctly

1326
01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:49,440
Speaker 1: pointed out last year the Browns drafted Knew some Ausu,

1327
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:53,720
Speaker 1: Core Schwartz, Hudson, Togy, I, Fields, account and Felton. So

1328
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:56,880
Speaker 1: that's by my calculations, that's eight. Then you had nine

1329
01:03:56,920 --> 01:04:01,400
Speaker 1: guys this year Emerson, Alex right, Bell, Perion, kde ork Ford, Woods,

1330
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:05,200
Speaker 1: Thomas Deaton. Okay, so Greg Newsom is making this team

1331
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:07,439
Speaker 1: and starting Jeremiah's Cormo is making this team and starting.

1332
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:09,040
Speaker 1: Anthony Schwartz is gonna make this team, I think in

1333
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:11,040
Speaker 1: a backup roll, but they hope that that expanse. James

1334
01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 1: Hudson will make this team in a backup role. Tommy Togia,

1335
01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:17,040
Speaker 1: I think does make this team. But let's talk about

1336
01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:19,400
Speaker 1: the defensive tackle room. You've got Sheldon Day, you have

1337
01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:23,040
Speaker 1: Taven Bryan as veterans, You've got Jordan Elliott now in

1338
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:25,680
Speaker 1: his third year, Toya in his second, Winfrey in his first.

1339
01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:29,080
Speaker 1: My guess is four guys to make this team. Obviously

1340
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:30,800
Speaker 1: you want Tommy Todya to be one of those four,

1341
01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:34,160
Speaker 1: but I think he's got to compete and prove that

1342
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:38,040
Speaker 1: he is better significantly so than maybe a Sheldon Day.

1343
01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 1: So I think told you guys one Fields is in

1344
01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:43,840
Speaker 1: a little bit better of a position. I would say

1345
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:47,360
Speaker 1: following the release of Mack Wilson. And one of the

1346
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:49,400
Speaker 1: reasons that I would say that is you look at

1347
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 1: this linebacking room. You've got your top four, right, You've

1348
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:56,320
Speaker 1: got uh Anthony Walker Jr. And Jacob Phillips. One of

1349
01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:59,160
Speaker 1: those will be the starting Mike. You've got j Okay,

1350
01:04:59,240 --> 01:05:02,080
Speaker 1: and you've got Sienna Taki Taki Behind that, you know,

1351
01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:04,160
Speaker 1: with the departure of Mack Wilson and the trade for

1352
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:06,840
Speaker 1: Chase Winovic, You've got Tony Fields, who is our fifth

1353
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:09,640
Speaker 1: round pick last year played ten games on special teams.

1354
01:05:09,720 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 1: They like how he's developed as a linebacker, but again,

1355
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 1: special teams will be the key. If he continues to

1356
01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:16,919
Speaker 1: be great there, he'll make it. You've got Dakota Allen,

1357
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:19,160
Speaker 1: who's a three year veteran with thirty two career games,

1358
01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:22,000
Speaker 1: three starts, who's a special team standout for the Jags

1359
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:25,480
Speaker 1: last year. So those two guys are probably competing with

1360
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:29,000
Speaker 1: Willie Harvey Silas Kelly to make this team at linebacker.

1361
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:32,520
Speaker 1: So you've got probably four locks and then two more

1362
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 1: maybe to get in there at the lineback perisition or

1363
01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:37,080
Speaker 1: one more depending on special teams and how they allocate

1364
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:39,520
Speaker 1: things on the d line and the defensive backfield. But

1365
01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:41,760
Speaker 1: I think Fields is he's certainly in a competition right

1366
01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:44,360
Speaker 1: with Dakota Allen. Willie Harvey, who has been with the Browns,

1367
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:45,760
Speaker 1: was on a couple of games last year's, but with

1368
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:48,440
Speaker 1: the Browns really on An Austin's two thousand and nineteen.

1369
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:50,320
Speaker 1: And then you have Silence Kelly, the undrafted free agent

1370
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:53,040
Speaker 1: that made a very good impression out of Coastal Carolina

1371
01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:55,720
Speaker 1: who had three forty tackles in college. So the that

1372
01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:58,440
Speaker 1: would be a guy who's in a competition. Rich LeCount

1373
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:01,280
Speaker 1: who you mentioned at the safety position, and he's definitely

1374
01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:03,440
Speaker 1: the number four safety right now, which would put him

1375
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:05,160
Speaker 1: on the roster. He's got to be a good special

1376
01:06:05,240 --> 01:06:07,240
Speaker 1: teams guy. But I feel good about richeld. County has

1377
01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:09,520
Speaker 1: had a nice start to his second year. And then

1378
01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:13,400
Speaker 1: there's Felton, who was probably offensively the most productive guy

1379
01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 1: last year out of this group eighteen catches, hunter eighty

1380
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:18,720
Speaker 1: one yards and two touchdowns. But I think he's in

1381
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:20,600
Speaker 1: a real battle to make this roster. He doesn't have

1382
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:23,160
Speaker 1: a natural home because you brought jackem Grant in to

1383
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 1: be your return man, so he's not gonna make the team.

1384
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:27,560
Speaker 1: Is just a return man. You've got four running backs

1385
01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:32,440
Speaker 1: in Nick Chubb, Kareem Hunt, Deerness Johnson, and um Jerome

1386
01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:34,400
Speaker 1: Ford who are probably ahead of him on the running

1387
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:37,800
Speaker 1: back depth chart. And then at receiver, you know he's

1388
01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:40,720
Speaker 1: probably competing to be the sixth receiver with Mike Woods.

1389
01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:42,840
Speaker 1: So you've got Felton and Mike Woods who are potentially

1390
01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:46,080
Speaker 1: going after one spot. I think this year's class Emerson, right,

1391
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:48,600
Speaker 1: Belle Winfrey or Jerome Ford feel really good to me.

1392
01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:52,280
Speaker 1: Isaiah Thomas is gonna battle to make this football team.

1393
01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:54,000
Speaker 1: And now he led the Sooners in saxy to the

1394
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:56,720
Speaker 1: last two years, even though his teammate went much earlier,

1395
01:06:56,840 --> 01:06:59,560
Speaker 1: Nick Benito. But he's gonna have the battle because you're

1396
01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:02,080
Speaker 1: talking out of defensive end room that's got Miles and Clowney,

1397
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:04,680
Speaker 1: who are locks. Alex writes, A lock you traded for

1398
01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:07,440
Speaker 1: Chase Winovich feel good about his ability to make this

1399
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:10,560
Speaker 1: football team. We're talking about potentially Tech McKinley coming back.

1400
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:13,000
Speaker 1: Then you've got you know, Curtis Weaver, who's been in

1401
01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:16,080
Speaker 1: the program. Then you've got Isaiah Thomas now, plus a

1402
01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:19,080
Speaker 1: couple of veterans, Stephen Weatherly and Isaac Rochelle. Like that

1403
01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:23,480
Speaker 1: is a very very condensed room, very condensed, and you're

1404
01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:26,560
Speaker 1: likely to keep four of those guys five max, But

1405
01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:31,160
Speaker 1: right now you would say Winovich, Weatherly, Rochelle, Thomas. We

1406
01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:33,680
Speaker 1: were all competing for one spot. If McKinley comes back,

1407
01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:35,760
Speaker 1: is there spot? And I think win of its probably

1408
01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:38,000
Speaker 1: is the favorite. But Weatherly is a guy who's been

1409
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:40,440
Speaker 1: in seventy three career games, seventeen starts, eight and a

1410
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:43,720
Speaker 1: half sex. Rochelle sixty three career games, nine starts, nine

1411
01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:46,000
Speaker 1: and a half Sex. Now, Winovich had eleven sackson just

1412
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:48,000
Speaker 1: his first two seasons alone before he was banged up

1413
01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:51,000
Speaker 1: last year, so he's been the most productive. A lot

1414
01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:53,200
Speaker 1: of talent there, so it is going to be tough

1415
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:55,000
Speaker 1: to make this team, and I think you could see.

1416
01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:58,360
Speaker 1: I don't think everybody who was in the class ultimately

1417
01:07:58,360 --> 01:07:59,800
Speaker 1: be on this roster, and then I don't think everybody

1418
01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:01,440
Speaker 1: on the went Too two class will be on the

1419
01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:03,520
Speaker 1: fifty three year. I think a lot of guys maybe

1420
01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:05,520
Speaker 1: end up on the practice Swan Dawson, Deaton and Uphill

1421
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:08,440
Speaker 1: Battle because you've got Nick Harris and you've got uh,

1422
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:11,560
Speaker 1: you know, Ethan Postic that you brought in. So a

1423
01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:14,720
Speaker 1: lot of talent there that was fun. Appreciate it. When

1424
01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:17,479
Speaker 1: we come back, we're gonna talk Steelers. We're talking Steelers.

1425
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:21,519
Speaker 1: That's right. Brooke Prior, ESPN NFL Nation reporter covering the

1426
01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:24,280
Speaker 1: Steelers joins us for about a team in transition for

1427
01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:26,439
Speaker 1: the first time in a long time. Is the Ben

1428
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:30,719
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger era is over and the Kenny Pickett era begins?

1429
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:44,120
Speaker 1: That's coming up next year on Cleveland Brown's Daily, Cleveland

1430
01:08:44,200 --> 01:08:59,000
Speaker 1: Brown's Daily on ESPN Cleveland. All right, welcome back into

1431
01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:02,160
Speaker 1: Cleveland brown Is Daily, and we continue our tour of

1432
01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:05,240
Speaker 1: the ten most intriguing teams of two and guess what

1433
01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:08,400
Speaker 1: this one is in our division? Because for the first

1434
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:11,200
Speaker 1: time in a long long time, the Steelers will not

1435
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:15,000
Speaker 1: have Ben Roethlisberger at quarterback. The Roethlisberger era is over.

1436
01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:18,880
Speaker 1: The Kenny Pickett era likely begins. Maybe it's not gonna

1437
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:20,519
Speaker 1: be Kenny Pickett, but who the person who can tell

1438
01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:23,639
Speaker 1: us what's going on? Brooke prior the ESPN NFL Nations

1439
01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:26,960
Speaker 1: Steelers reporter joins us on the hotline now and Brooke,

1440
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:29,920
Speaker 1: it is a strange season for the Steelers. I think

1441
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:32,880
Speaker 1: there's uncertainty for the first time in a long time.

1442
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:35,320
Speaker 1: But frankly, all they do is win under Mike Tomlin.

1443
01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:38,519
Speaker 1: What's kind of the mood around this team, especially in

1444
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:42,280
Speaker 1: a loaded a f C North. You know, it's funny

1445
01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:45,519
Speaker 1: when you said that maybe this is the Kenney Pickett era.

1446
01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:47,280
Speaker 1: I wish that you could see the face I made

1447
01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:49,400
Speaker 1: because I was like, oh, I don't know there yet.

1448
01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:52,519
Speaker 1: And I think that I think that's kind of how

1449
01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:54,799
Speaker 1: the team feels as a whole. I mean, Mike Tomlin

1450
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:57,120
Speaker 1: said it best earlier this year when he was like,

1451
01:09:57,800 --> 01:10:00,960
Speaker 1: I am looking forward to being on comfortable, and I

1452
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 1: think that's kind of the Steelers as a whole is

1453
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:07,840
Speaker 1: there's an uncomfortability going into training camp not knowing who

1454
01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:11,120
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback will be. Um and knowing that it's

1455
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:13,800
Speaker 1: not going to be Ben Roethlisberger, but you know, the

1456
01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:16,400
Speaker 1: team is made in the in the image of my

1457
01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:18,800
Speaker 1: tal one, so therefore they're kind of excited. I think

1458
01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:22,000
Speaker 1: about not knowing what's next because it's been such a

1459
01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:25,360
Speaker 1: foregone conclusions for you know, almost two decades that they're

1460
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:27,599
Speaker 1: looking forward to, you know, kind of mixing things up

1461
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:30,760
Speaker 1: a little bit, and they will mix it up. So

1462
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:32,800
Speaker 1: I'll start with this, then, is the biggest question who

1463
01:10:32,920 --> 01:10:34,960
Speaker 1: is going to be the starting quarterback for the Steelers

1464
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:37,439
Speaker 1: Week one? And this is truly is it truly a

1465
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:40,560
Speaker 1: two man competition or is it truly a three man competition?

1466
01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:44,320
Speaker 1: So this is not the exciting answer, and I'm sorry

1467
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:47,519
Speaker 1: for that. I kind of think the biggest competition is

1468
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:49,200
Speaker 1: going to be at left guard, which I know how

1469
01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:52,320
Speaker 1: much everyone loves, and a line competition, you know, really yeah,

1470
01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:54,840
Speaker 1: I think your teeth into uh, you know, tell all

1471
01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:57,880
Speaker 1: the stats everything else. But I think that since I

1472
01:10:57,960 --> 01:11:00,400
Speaker 1: get from talking to people around the team, is that

1473
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:03,280
Speaker 1: right now, Mitch Trobiski is the starting quarterback kind of

1474
01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:07,000
Speaker 1: until further notice and loture notice, let's be honest, could

1475
01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:09,120
Speaker 1: come in training camp as Kenny Pickett comes out there

1476
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:12,479
Speaker 1: and just really knocks the socks off of everyone, which

1477
01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:14,839
Speaker 1: I'm not going to rule it out. Stranger things have happened,

1478
01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:17,040
Speaker 1: but based on what I saw in O. T A.

1479
01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:19,479
Speaker 1: S and Minicamp, I kind of believe that this is

1480
01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:22,920
Speaker 1: Mitch Trobiski's job to lose. And then, you know, I

1481
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:25,160
Speaker 1: don't know whether or not Mason Rudolf will end up

1482
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:27,840
Speaker 1: being on the roster when the regular season starts. I

1483
01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:30,240
Speaker 1: think that he's going to be someone that is on

1484
01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:33,320
Speaker 1: the trade block. Um, just you know, by virtue of

1485
01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:36,920
Speaker 1: he I think needs a fresh start somewhere, but he

1486
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:38,920
Speaker 1: could be in the MIXA. He clearly think that at

1487
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:41,439
Speaker 1: this point he's more developed than Canny pick It because

1488
01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:45,160
Speaker 1: he's been taking second team reps um. But I just

1489
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:47,720
Speaker 1: get the sense that as much fun as we thought

1490
01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:50,360
Speaker 1: we were gonna have with an open quarterback competition, it's

1491
01:11:50,439 --> 01:11:54,240
Speaker 1: maybe not quite so open. But left guard, if that's

1492
01:11:54,280 --> 01:11:57,040
Speaker 1: your thing, I think Kendrick Green and Kevin Dotson are

1493
01:11:57,080 --> 01:11:59,479
Speaker 1: really gonna go at it during training camp, and that's

1494
01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:02,240
Speaker 1: gonna be a fighting one to watch. What do you

1495
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:05,960
Speaker 1: think the identity of this football team is going to be?

1496
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:08,519
Speaker 1: Because for so long it was dominant defense, and then

1497
01:12:08,560 --> 01:12:10,840
Speaker 1: of course you had Ben Roethlisberger and for a while

1498
01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:13,400
Speaker 1: it was the Killer Bees with Ben and Antonio Brown

1499
01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:16,240
Speaker 1: and Levy on Bell. And offensively you do have some stars.

1500
01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:19,080
Speaker 1: Jante Johnson is a start, Claypool shown flashes. I think

1501
01:12:19,120 --> 01:12:21,720
Speaker 1: you got a steel and George Pickens Friar Muth was

1502
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:24,240
Speaker 1: very good at Nagy Harris obviously didn't have a lot

1503
01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:26,760
Speaker 1: of room to run, but did a great job in

1504
01:12:26,920 --> 01:12:29,000
Speaker 1: his rookie year. But this it's a defense. It feels

1505
01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:31,840
Speaker 1: a little bit in transition with some names that are

1506
01:12:31,960 --> 01:12:34,240
Speaker 1: you're familiar with not being there any longer. But what

1507
01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:36,400
Speaker 1: do you kind of think the identity of this team

1508
01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:38,600
Speaker 1: is going to be. Well, I can tell you what

1509
01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:41,200
Speaker 1: they need it to be, and that's to have again

1510
01:12:41,320 --> 01:12:44,280
Speaker 1: that dominant defense, but also have the offense run through

1511
01:12:44,439 --> 01:12:46,720
Speaker 1: Naji Harris. I mean I've I've spent quite a bit

1512
01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:49,479
Speaker 1: of time with him this offseason just seeing how he

1513
01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:53,080
Speaker 1: trains um, kind of just looking at how he immerses

1514
01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:55,880
Speaker 1: himself in his off season program. And I mean he

1515
01:12:56,120 --> 01:12:58,960
Speaker 1: starts training at nine am and he has not finished

1516
01:12:59,080 --> 01:13:03,320
Speaker 1: until m He does three workouts to day. I mean

1517
01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:06,040
Speaker 1: he is preparing as if he's going to be carrying

1518
01:13:06,120 --> 01:13:07,960
Speaker 1: the team on his back, and I think in a

1519
01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:09,519
Speaker 1: lot of ways he is. As long as that old

1520
01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:11,840
Speaker 1: line can get figured out in front of him, I

1521
01:13:11,960 --> 01:13:14,400
Speaker 1: think that a they're going to be able to utilize

1522
01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:16,760
Speaker 1: him more, open up some bigger holes for him, and

1523
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:20,160
Speaker 1: then whoever this quarterback is likely much Trobiski, you're gonna

1524
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:22,240
Speaker 1: see Nagy Harris involved where they're going to have more

1525
01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:25,720
Speaker 1: play action. I just think that the mobility and the

1526
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:27,920
Speaker 1: way that the Steelers can open up the playbook with

1527
01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:31,080
Speaker 1: a younger quarterback, a more mobile quarterback, is going to

1528
01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:34,519
Speaker 1: give Naji a lot more opportunities. So I think that

1529
01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:36,960
Speaker 1: the identity of this team kind of has to flow

1530
01:13:37,080 --> 01:13:41,800
Speaker 1: through Naji here us offensively and then defensively. Yes, there, there,

1531
01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:44,840
Speaker 1: it is a little bit in flux um. But at

1532
01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:47,240
Speaker 1: the same time, you still have some real superstars coming

1533
01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:50,320
Speaker 1: back like make It's Patrick, t J. Watt, Cam Heyward.

1534
01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:52,400
Speaker 1: They're all right there is as long as they can

1535
01:13:52,520 --> 01:13:56,160
Speaker 1: fix their issues with the run defense, which easier said

1536
01:13:56,160 --> 01:13:58,679
Speaker 1: than done. But having Tyson and Lulu back Larry open

1537
01:13:58,760 --> 01:14:00,840
Speaker 1: Joe by someone, you guys be so you know pretty well?

1538
01:14:01,280 --> 01:14:03,800
Speaker 1: Um I think that that that's going to help them.

1539
01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:06,719
Speaker 1: But if they're going to be successful in a loaded

1540
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:08,320
Speaker 1: a f C North and just the a f C

1541
01:14:08,439 --> 01:14:10,519
Speaker 1: as a whole, that's kind of gonna have to be

1542
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:13,840
Speaker 1: the recipe. Yeah, and you mentioned, you know, to it

1543
01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:16,320
Speaker 1: retires kind of and he had been so good for them,

1544
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:19,759
Speaker 1: obviously injured last year. You get Lulu back, you bringing Larryogan.

1545
01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:22,240
Speaker 1: Joe be a draft to Marvin Leal in the third round.

1546
01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:24,240
Speaker 1: But Larry is a guy who was very productive and

1547
01:14:24,280 --> 01:14:26,439
Speaker 1: Cincinnati was very good. Here he's doing his tour of

1548
01:14:26,479 --> 01:14:28,240
Speaker 1: the f C. North is also a great guy. And

1549
01:14:28,560 --> 01:14:30,880
Speaker 1: you know, with Joe Hayden leaving and Joe Schobert leaving,

1550
01:14:31,320 --> 01:14:32,720
Speaker 1: they said, I've got to get another Brown in here,

1551
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:34,559
Speaker 1: and here comes Larry Ogan. Job. I don't know if

1552
01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:36,240
Speaker 1: you've got a chance to talk with him yet. A

1553
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:39,880
Speaker 1: tremendous guy. We loved him here. Not yet. But I'm

1554
01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:42,920
Speaker 1: looking forward to getting to training camp, which is getting

1555
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:45,320
Speaker 1: here like faster than I realized. I mean a week

1556
01:14:45,400 --> 01:14:48,400
Speaker 1: from tomorrow I will be up in Latrobe, and I'm excited.

1557
01:14:48,720 --> 01:14:50,640
Speaker 1: He's one of the guys that I definitely want to

1558
01:14:50,680 --> 01:14:52,200
Speaker 1: get to know because I think that He is going

1559
01:14:52,240 --> 01:14:54,760
Speaker 1: to be so huge for this run defense, for the

1560
01:14:54,800 --> 01:14:57,679
Speaker 1: defense as a wholecause, yeah, you mentioned Stefon Tuitt retires

1561
01:14:57,720 --> 01:14:59,680
Speaker 1: and he was obviously a non factor last year just

1562
01:14:59,760 --> 01:15:02,600
Speaker 1: with everything that was going on with him, but he

1563
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:05,559
Speaker 1: was a really big loss. You added Entyson and Lulu

1564
01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:08,439
Speaker 1: getting hurt very early on in the season, and the

1565
01:15:08,479 --> 01:15:11,280
Speaker 1: Steelers just kind of started out behind the eight ball.

1566
01:15:11,360 --> 01:15:13,519
Speaker 1: They did not have much steps up front, and that

1567
01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:16,240
Speaker 1: was a huge issue. When you're in you know, a

1568
01:15:16,439 --> 01:15:19,559
Speaker 1: very um tough division like the a f C North,

1569
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:21,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a lot of teams that just want

1570
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:23,360
Speaker 1: to ram the ball down your throat. They ran into

1571
01:15:23,439 --> 01:15:26,000
Speaker 1: that also against the Vikings Um. I just think that

1572
01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:29,400
Speaker 1: Ogan job is going to be a big key in

1573
01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:31,960
Speaker 1: making this defense better, kind of flying under the radar

1574
01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:34,600
Speaker 1: because he's not, you know, necessarily a big name like

1575
01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:38,320
Speaker 1: a Miles jack Um or guys returning like t J. Watt,

1576
01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:40,280
Speaker 1: but he's going to be crucial to what the Steelers

1577
01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:43,720
Speaker 1: want to do. And and let's talk about the back

1578
01:15:43,840 --> 01:15:46,120
Speaker 1: end of this defense. What do you make of the

1579
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:49,880
Speaker 1: corner situation here and how comfortable are they with what

1580
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:52,760
Speaker 1: they have back there? Obviously it's safety with make of

1581
01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:56,439
Speaker 1: it's Patrick, You feel good about that? What about the corners? Yeah,

1582
01:15:56,439 --> 01:15:59,320
Speaker 1: I mean I think you maybe don't feel great. Joe

1583
01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:01,840
Speaker 1: Hayden's a big loss. I know he's getting older and

1584
01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:05,000
Speaker 1: he was injured and that lack of availability hurt him

1585
01:16:05,240 --> 01:16:07,800
Speaker 1: as well as his price tag. But at the same time,

1586
01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:09,920
Speaker 1: you're really going to miss that veteran leadership because when

1587
01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:13,000
Speaker 1: he was healthy he was a really good lockdown corner

1588
01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:16,960
Speaker 1: um and Akela Witherspoon played really well towards the end

1589
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:18,839
Speaker 1: of the season, so you hope that he can replicate

1590
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:24,080
Speaker 1: that early on. Cam Sutton another good player, Arthur Milette.

1591
01:16:24,200 --> 01:16:27,040
Speaker 1: I feel like they have a lot of pieces that

1592
01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:30,040
Speaker 1: don't necessarily have set roles, which can be a good

1593
01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:32,160
Speaker 1: thing to have that versatility. But I think you'd feel

1594
01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:34,400
Speaker 1: a lot better if you had a solid number one

1595
01:16:34,479 --> 01:16:36,800
Speaker 1: corner and they brought in Lea by Wallace. I think

1596
01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:39,320
Speaker 1: he can be good, but to me, corner is the

1597
01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:42,200
Speaker 1: biggest question mark on the defense at this point. And

1598
01:16:42,240 --> 01:16:44,760
Speaker 1: then flipping around the offensive side, a lot of talent

1599
01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:47,519
Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier at wide receiver. In the past catching room,

1600
01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:50,400
Speaker 1: you said the offense though likely to run through Nazi Harris,

1601
01:16:50,479 --> 01:16:53,080
Speaker 1: how do you see their ability to kind of keep

1602
01:16:53,160 --> 01:16:55,840
Speaker 1: Deonte Johnson and Claypool and even Pickens if he gets

1603
01:16:55,880 --> 01:16:57,760
Speaker 1: in the mix. How do they end Friar with? How

1604
01:16:57,800 --> 01:17:00,439
Speaker 1: do they keep these guys happy with the flip? Because

1605
01:17:00,439 --> 01:17:02,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a totally different enough it's not probably

1606
01:17:02,360 --> 01:17:03,840
Speaker 1: throw down the field a little more than everything being

1607
01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:05,960
Speaker 1: a one yard pass, But how do you get the

1608
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:08,920
Speaker 1: ball in those guys hands enough to keep them happy? Yeah?

1609
01:17:09,080 --> 01:17:10,519
Speaker 1: I think that that is going to be a really

1610
01:17:10,600 --> 01:17:13,360
Speaker 1: difficult thing. That's also interesting when you run through all

1611
01:17:13,400 --> 01:17:15,720
Speaker 1: those names, they're all guys that are not don't have

1612
01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:18,679
Speaker 1: a ton of experience. Dante Johnson is the most veteran

1613
01:17:18,760 --> 01:17:21,120
Speaker 1: guy in that group, and yet he is very much

1614
01:17:21,439 --> 01:17:23,639
Speaker 1: a quiet leader, kind of you know, a hard worker,

1615
01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:26,639
Speaker 1: lead by example guy. There. There isn't a vocal juju

1616
01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:29,280
Speaker 1: Smith schuster Um. So I think that these guys have

1617
01:17:29,400 --> 01:17:32,200
Speaker 1: to be even more locked in because it's not going

1618
01:17:32,240 --> 01:17:34,920
Speaker 1: to be a mentally easy season. Not that any of

1619
01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:37,360
Speaker 1: them are, but when you're working in a new quarterback,

1620
01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:41,080
Speaker 1: whether that's Trabisky or Kney Picket or Mason rudolph Um

1621
01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:43,960
Speaker 1: and you add in Matt Canada's playbook. That's I think

1622
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:45,439
Speaker 1: going to be opened up a lot more. Like I

1623
01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:48,439
Speaker 1: said earlier, um, I think that it's gonna be something

1624
01:17:48,479 --> 01:17:50,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna really have to work through. But I would

1625
01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:53,920
Speaker 1: expect to see a lot of quick passes, um more

1626
01:17:54,040 --> 01:17:56,400
Speaker 1: down the field stuff. Also, don't forget I think Kelvin

1627
01:17:56,479 --> 01:18:00,080
Speaker 1: Austen is going to be a very interesting ad. He

1628
01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:02,280
Speaker 1: can play in the slot, he can also go outside.

1629
01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:04,559
Speaker 1: He's a little guy, but he's really fast. I think

1630
01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:06,479
Speaker 1: he could kind of be the secret weapon in Matt

1631
01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:09,280
Speaker 1: Canada's offense if he can be consistent. He had some

1632
01:18:09,439 --> 01:18:11,920
Speaker 1: drops during O t A s during mini camps, but

1633
01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:14,840
Speaker 1: he's a rookie. There's gonna be some growing pains. But yeah,

1634
01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:17,280
Speaker 1: they have a lot of very talented guys in that room.

1635
01:18:17,760 --> 01:18:20,320
Speaker 1: That's gonna be I don't think anybody's gonna be putting

1636
01:18:20,360 --> 01:18:23,479
Speaker 1: up necessarily pro Bowl numbers, at least not initially. You're

1637
01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:25,360
Speaker 1: going to kind of have to to fight for everything

1638
01:18:25,400 --> 01:18:28,759
Speaker 1: you get in that group. What's kind of the mindset.

1639
01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:30,600
Speaker 1: As I said at the top, they've never had a

1640
01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:32,880
Speaker 1: losing record under Mike Tomlin. I'm not suggesting that they

1641
01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:35,600
Speaker 1: will have a losing record this year. It feels like

1642
01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:39,120
Speaker 1: in most people's minds right that they will be that. Certainly,

1643
01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:40,960
Speaker 1: the Bengals will be the favorites in the division having

1644
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:43,760
Speaker 1: just gotten the Super Bowl. The Ravens, who were still

1645
01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:46,200
Speaker 1: darn good even though they had half their team injured

1646
01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:48,439
Speaker 1: last year, including very key people, They're going to be

1647
01:18:48,479 --> 01:18:50,720
Speaker 1: in the mix. The Browns have an unbelievable roster, and

1648
01:18:50,760 --> 01:18:52,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll get some clarity at some point soon

1649
01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:55,040
Speaker 1: on how long Deshaun Watson will be up. But that's

1650
01:18:55,040 --> 01:18:57,920
Speaker 1: a team that probably has real Super Bowl aspirations. The

1651
01:18:57,960 --> 01:19:01,000
Speaker 1: Steelers are the one team that feels like, maybe necessarily don't,

1652
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:02,880
Speaker 1: and of course every team does every year, and I've

1653
01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:04,280
Speaker 1: done this with the Browns for a long time, so

1654
01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:06,040
Speaker 1: I realized that every year that's the stated goal, and

1655
01:19:06,080 --> 01:19:07,880
Speaker 1: it doesn't always work out, but that is the goal.

1656
01:19:07,960 --> 01:19:10,559
Speaker 1: So maybe they've got the aspirations. But this is an

1657
01:19:10,680 --> 01:19:13,600
Speaker 1: unfamiliar position for them to be in the sense that

1658
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:15,680
Speaker 1: probably for the first time, they're gonna be picked to

1659
01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:19,519
Speaker 1: finish last in the division more than any other team.

1660
01:19:20,800 --> 01:19:23,519
Speaker 1: How is that kind of sitting with everybody? You know,

1661
01:19:23,880 --> 01:19:26,559
Speaker 1: It's funny because I feel like every team every year

1662
01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:29,040
Speaker 1: kind of no matter where you are, wants the narrative

1663
01:19:29,080 --> 01:19:31,080
Speaker 1: of oh, nobody believes in us because you want to

1664
01:19:31,280 --> 01:19:35,000
Speaker 1: United commented me. You know, in this case, I think

1665
01:19:35,080 --> 01:19:37,559
Speaker 1: it actually works to the Steelers advantage, because every other

1666
01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:39,960
Speaker 1: year you hear like, oh, nobody believes in the Steelers,

1667
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:41,960
Speaker 1: and the thought of like, yeah, all right, everybody believes

1668
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:45,040
Speaker 1: in the Steelers because of Ben, because of Mike Tomlins. Now,

1669
01:19:45,160 --> 01:19:47,519
Speaker 1: I think there really is some doubt at least outside

1670
01:19:47,560 --> 01:19:50,920
Speaker 1: the building, and that brings a team closer together. I mean,

1671
01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:54,200
Speaker 1: I look at the twenty nineteen season, they almost made

1672
01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:57,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs, which is an especially impressive feat when you

1673
01:19:57,360 --> 01:20:00,400
Speaker 1: consider that Mason Nets and Duck Hodges where the court backs.

1674
01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:03,560
Speaker 1: I think that that kind of adversity, especially early on,

1675
01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:06,840
Speaker 1: can kind of accelerate the team building process and really

1676
01:20:06,880 --> 01:20:09,240
Speaker 1: give the guys something to rally around early in camp.

1677
01:20:09,280 --> 01:20:12,080
Speaker 1: And like like I said, you always kind of play

1678
01:20:12,160 --> 01:20:15,360
Speaker 1: into that narrative, whether it's real or not. In this case,

1679
01:20:15,439 --> 01:20:18,160
Speaker 1: I think it is, and I think that that benefits

1680
01:20:18,439 --> 01:20:22,680
Speaker 1: the Steelers at least starting out. All right, now we

1681
01:20:22,760 --> 01:20:26,120
Speaker 1: have to talk about something very serious, very psych I'm excited,

1682
01:20:27,120 --> 01:20:30,479
Speaker 1: hinz Field, Come on, what are we doing here. Even

1683
01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:32,320
Speaker 1: I like it when we get into the hines red

1684
01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:34,519
Speaker 1: zone and the catchup bottles or throwing catch up her

1685
01:20:34,520 --> 01:20:37,360
Speaker 1: eye saw them taking down Acquisher a great I love

1686
01:20:37,400 --> 01:20:39,320
Speaker 1: that they're doing good things for people out there. Maybe

1687
01:20:39,360 --> 01:20:40,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't even know what they do,

1688
01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:44,680
Speaker 1: but Hines Field is like that is a staple. I know,

1689
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:47,960
Speaker 1: I know, it's I don't know how I'm going to,

1690
01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:50,240
Speaker 1: like even tell my husband, like, oh, I'm I'm going

1691
01:20:50,400 --> 01:20:53,800
Speaker 1: to Acquisher today, Like that feels weird. That did not

1692
01:20:53,880 --> 01:20:55,800
Speaker 1: feel measural coming out of my mouth, like whenever I

1693
01:20:55,880 --> 01:20:58,160
Speaker 1: talk about where I live in Pittsburgh, it's I was like, oh,

1694
01:20:58,200 --> 01:21:00,760
Speaker 1: I'm about ten minutes from hind that kind of thing,

1695
01:21:00,800 --> 01:21:02,080
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, like I have to change

1696
01:21:02,120 --> 01:21:05,560
Speaker 1: my entire vocabulary. But I mean, the players have said that,

1697
01:21:05,640 --> 01:21:07,439
Speaker 1: the guys I've talked to it have kind of said,

1698
01:21:07,479 --> 01:21:10,479
Speaker 1: you know, yes, it stinks. There's a sentimentality there, but

1699
01:21:11,160 --> 01:21:12,920
Speaker 1: we're the ones that are going to make it special.

1700
01:21:13,120 --> 01:21:15,559
Speaker 1: So it will get its own nickname. It can also

1701
01:21:15,640 --> 01:21:18,240
Speaker 1: still exist as finds you know, or you know, start

1702
01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:20,840
Speaker 1: calling it three Rivers again. I don't know, Maybe Acquasher

1703
01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:23,080
Speaker 1: becomes the sure or it's a sure thing and acres,

1704
01:21:23,280 --> 01:21:25,559
Speaker 1: I mean they're there are different ways that you can

1705
01:21:25,800 --> 01:21:28,439
Speaker 1: spend it. If we're looking on the bright side. On

1706
01:21:28,560 --> 01:21:32,080
Speaker 1: the other side, that when the catchup bottles went down

1707
01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:36,280
Speaker 1: that way, I saw that this morning. I was devastated.

1708
01:21:36,400 --> 01:21:38,519
Speaker 1: And I'm supposed to hate that place. It's a has

1709
01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:40,240
Speaker 1: been a house of horse. Other than of course our

1710
01:21:40,320 --> 01:21:42,519
Speaker 1: big wild card wind no big deal. But other than that,

1711
01:21:42,600 --> 01:21:46,160
Speaker 1: it hasn't been great there. And I it's just cool.

1712
01:21:46,240 --> 01:21:48,400
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, you know, you get renegade going

1713
01:21:48,680 --> 01:21:51,479
Speaker 1: catchup bottles are pouring catchup down in the Hinds red zone.

1714
01:21:51,479 --> 01:21:54,760
Speaker 1: It's like, this is It's perfect, It really is. It's

1715
01:21:54,760 --> 01:21:56,519
Speaker 1: a great venue. I think we have. I think we're

1716
01:21:56,720 --> 01:21:58,519
Speaker 1: very fortunate. That's a great venue. And I know that

1717
01:21:58,560 --> 01:21:59,960
Speaker 1: you've been to a lot of big games in Baltimore

1718
01:22:00,160 --> 01:22:02,360
Speaker 1: that ends up being a great environment as well. But

1719
01:22:02,760 --> 01:22:05,040
Speaker 1: it's just to me, and nobody cares that. Baltimore's M

1720
01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:06,640
Speaker 1: and T Bank or whatever they may change it to

1721
01:22:06,720 --> 01:22:08,479
Speaker 1: at some point. But hines Field was one of those

1722
01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:12,360
Speaker 1: unique places around the league where it's still called you

1723
01:22:12,439 --> 01:22:14,559
Speaker 1: know where they that's what's focused on, right, It's like Oh,

1724
01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:17,960
Speaker 1: we're going to hines Field. It's hines Field. It's It's

1725
01:22:18,240 --> 01:22:20,120
Speaker 1: man and end of an era. It's like, come on,

1726
01:22:20,439 --> 01:22:22,479
Speaker 1: we got to the bottles at least, how can they

1727
01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:26,040
Speaker 1: keep the bottle part of it the red zone? Look,

1728
01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:27,640
Speaker 1: all I can say is like, thank god it's not

1729
01:22:27,760 --> 01:22:30,400
Speaker 1: crypto dot com arena, because that, to me, would be

1730
01:22:30,479 --> 01:22:32,680
Speaker 1: worse than accusher. I think that I think that there's

1731
01:22:32,720 --> 01:22:35,439
Speaker 1: some wiggle room with some nicknames and accusher if you're

1732
01:22:35,560 --> 01:22:38,639
Speaker 1: if you become crypto dot com like I mean, granted,

1733
01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:40,759
Speaker 1: I am not a banker, I am not in a crypto,

1734
01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:43,240
Speaker 1: but it feels like that's something that's a fat and

1735
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:46,280
Speaker 1: gonna fold soon. Oh it's had a rough year, so

1736
01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:49,360
Speaker 1: don't you worry. It's had a rough year. So then

1737
01:22:49,439 --> 01:22:52,080
Speaker 1: what happens? Or is it still crypto dot com arena

1738
01:22:52,240 --> 01:22:55,400
Speaker 1: even when crypto isn't a thing anymore? I mean, accuser,

1739
01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:57,000
Speaker 1: I think that there's some things that you can you

1740
01:22:57,080 --> 01:23:01,519
Speaker 1: can work within finagal, but crypto is just embarrassing. Yeah,

1741
01:23:01,720 --> 01:23:03,679
Speaker 1: and and right now, yeah, that's the cript I would

1742
01:23:03,680 --> 01:23:06,480
Speaker 1: imagine as a lot of people have seen their portfolios

1743
01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:09,720
Speaker 1: go way down, which is not fun for anybody. Yeah,

1744
01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:12,639
Speaker 1: much worse. But this I'm just listen. I am acra

1745
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:14,920
Speaker 1: unsure about it. That's all I'm gonna say right now.

1746
01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:19,000
Speaker 1: Didn't a plus, Well, we'll go out on a high note. Brook.

1747
01:23:19,080 --> 01:23:21,040
Speaker 1: It is always a pleasure talking to you, and I

1748
01:23:21,160 --> 01:23:23,600

01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:31,440
Speaker 1: Steelers scene that it's been in a very very long time. Yeah. Absolutely,

1752
01:23:31,560 --> 01:23:34,120
Speaker 1: thanks for having me on. Guys, you got all right,

Speaker 1: So much more to come here on Cleveland Brown's Daily

1754
01:23:37,520 --> 01:23:51,040
Speaker 1: as we wrap it up here on Monday, Cleveland Brown's

1755
01:23:51,080 --> 01:24:11,599
Speaker 1: Daily sp N Cleveland Welcome back into Cleveland Brown's Daily.

1756
01:24:11,760 --> 01:24:14,360
Speaker 1: Big thanks to Brooke Prior for joining us there. And

1757
01:24:14,400 --> 01:24:16,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting. I am sad that it's not

1758
01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:19,759
Speaker 1: hines Field anymore. At least we won the last playoff

1759
01:24:19,800 --> 01:24:24,640
Speaker 1: game in Hinesfield. That's cool and we didn't. Aren't you

1760
01:24:24,680 --> 01:24:31,560
Speaker 1: a little bummed about that? Like those catchup bottles were sweet? Sure, No,

1761
01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:33,280
Speaker 1: you don't that, you don't care at all? Like it

1762
01:24:33,320 --> 01:24:35,160
Speaker 1: doesn't make it. Maybe it just means it will actually

1763
01:24:35,479 --> 01:24:39,280
Speaker 1: start winning regular season games. Yeah. New Connors from Pittsburgh.

1764
01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:41,720
Speaker 1: What does he think. We don't hold it against him,

1765
01:24:41,760 --> 01:24:46,720
Speaker 1: what does he think? Ahead, Buddy new Connor, everybody, you know,

1766
01:24:46,920 --> 01:24:49,080
Speaker 1: you know, it's sad to see, but it's it's the

1767
01:24:49,200 --> 01:24:51,160
Speaker 1: change of an error, I think. But why couldn't they

1768
01:24:51,200 --> 01:24:53,679
Speaker 1: just keep the catchup bottles for the Hines red zone.

1769
01:24:53,680 --> 01:24:56,120
Speaker 1: I thought it would make great marketing. It is great.

1770
01:24:56,320 --> 01:24:58,400
Speaker 1: It's fantastical marketing. You know, when they gop in the

1771
01:24:58,479 --> 01:25:01,160
Speaker 1: red zone, the catchup bottles downest like a tradition. It's

1772
01:25:01,200 --> 01:25:04,400
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh thing. So I thought they would keep that, but

1773
01:25:04,479 --> 01:25:07,000
Speaker 1: obviously not. Now it's like they're it's either you're in

1774
01:25:07,120 --> 01:25:11,720
Speaker 1: or you're out. Apparently rough. Yeah, very sad. Yeah he

1775
01:25:11,760 --> 01:25:13,920
Speaker 1: did go, Stevie go all right. We had some a

1776
01:25:13,960 --> 01:25:17,040
Speaker 1: little bit of drama in the NFL today. Uh Ian

1777
01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:19,880
Speaker 1: Rappaport went on NFL Now and basically said that look,

1778
01:25:20,040 --> 01:25:23,120
Speaker 1: you know, it is no sure thing that Ian that

1779
01:25:23,439 --> 01:25:25,599
Speaker 1: j K. Dobbins would be ready for Week one, saying

1780
01:25:25,640 --> 01:25:27,439
Speaker 1: it was a very serious knee injury. There's no one

1781
01:25:27,439 --> 01:25:29,960
Speaker 1: sent up to Russian back. They signed Mike Davis as

1782
01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:32,360
Speaker 1: a precaution in case he's not ready to go, and

1783
01:25:32,439 --> 01:25:35,679
Speaker 1: then j K Dobbins says, Okay, I'm tired of being quiet.

1784
01:25:35,760 --> 01:25:38,000
Speaker 1: Come to me for your source at rap sheet, because

1785
01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:40,280
Speaker 1: I might even go on the PUP, because I might

1786
01:25:40,360 --> 01:25:41,960
Speaker 1: not even go on PUP because that's how good my

1787
01:25:42,040 --> 01:25:44,560
Speaker 1: reab is going. And I'm damn sure I'm going to

1788
01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:48,120
Speaker 1: be ready for week number one, and Dobbins would continue

1789
01:25:48,160 --> 01:25:49,560
Speaker 1: to go I said I would post videos, but I

1790
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:51,800
Speaker 1: want you to. I don't want you fake doctors and

1791
01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:53,360
Speaker 1: people have never spoken a word to me to see

1792
01:25:53,360 --> 01:25:54,800
Speaker 1: what me and Jesus have been up to on the

1793
01:25:54,840 --> 01:25:57,680
Speaker 1: biggest stage. The word Jesus does with me, and you

1794
01:25:57,800 --> 01:25:59,920
Speaker 1: will never who are doubting me? You could never understand.

1795
01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:01,719
Speaker 1: Just know I'm working. I've been quiet for a reason.

1796
01:26:01,800 --> 01:26:05,719
Speaker 1: I throve best when I face adversity. Go check my resume.

1797
01:26:05,880 --> 01:26:07,559
Speaker 1: And then, and what turned out to be a very

1798
01:26:07,640 --> 01:26:11,840
Speaker 1: fun moment is that uh Ian Rappaport was on McAfee

1799
01:26:11,920 --> 01:26:15,360
Speaker 1: as as Dobbins tweets this out, and then McAfee gives

1800
01:26:15,400 --> 01:26:17,160
Speaker 1: him a lot of grief, saying that he just got

1801
01:26:17,320 --> 01:26:20,719
Speaker 1: dunked on, and Rappaport was not really playing along and said,

1802
01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:23,120
Speaker 1: you know, look, I trust my sources. I hope that

1803
01:26:23,200 --> 01:26:25,120
Speaker 1: that's the right outcome. I hope it all works out,

1804
01:26:25,240 --> 01:26:27,920
Speaker 1: but I thought it was hilarious. McAfee was doing like

1805
01:26:28,120 --> 01:26:30,400
Speaker 1: post fake posters and having the time of his life

1806
01:26:30,439 --> 01:26:33,080
Speaker 1: with that rap. She was not having it. He was

1807
01:26:33,200 --> 01:26:35,240
Speaker 1: not having I retweeted that when I said, this made

1808
01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:37,840
Speaker 1: me laugh, because it really did. Rappaport followed up at

1809
01:26:37,840 --> 01:26:39,560
Speaker 1: two or four he said, when news develops while on

1810
01:26:39,640 --> 01:26:42,120
Speaker 1: live TV, we discuss watched the whole clip from my

1811
01:26:42,200 --> 01:26:43,920
Speaker 1: views on situation, which he was like, look, I think

1812
01:26:43,960 --> 01:26:46,000
Speaker 1: it's great that he, you know, came back and said that,

1813
01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:48,040
Speaker 1: and I hope that he is, you know, ready to

1814
01:26:48,120 --> 01:26:50,080
Speaker 1: go when it doll said and done. But at the

1815
01:26:50,160 --> 01:26:52,360
Speaker 1: same time, I trust my sources and I believe we're

1816
01:26:52,400 --> 01:26:57,439
Speaker 1: gonna be uh, we'll see what happened. So anyway, that's

1817
01:26:57,439 --> 01:26:58,920
Speaker 1: a fun way to get a little bit of a

1818
01:26:59,040 --> 01:27:02,080
Speaker 1: little bit of drama there as it goes. And you know,

1819
01:27:02,600 --> 01:27:05,559
Speaker 1: we told you at the beginning, ruling could be this week,

1820
01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:08,160
Speaker 1: could be next week. Charles Robinson of Yahoo was on

1821
01:27:08,200 --> 01:27:11,920
Speaker 1: his podcast and actually said that he apparently that there's

1822
01:27:11,920 --> 01:27:13,600
Speaker 1: a lot of feeling that it didn't go well for

1823
01:27:13,680 --> 01:27:18,040
Speaker 1: the NFL, and that Sue Robinson is urging both sides

1824
01:27:18,120 --> 01:27:20,439
Speaker 1: to settle, meaning the NFL come down and meet Watson

1825
01:27:20,479 --> 01:27:23,360
Speaker 1: to settle, because otherwise they're gonna set a precedent. Is

1826
01:27:23,360 --> 01:27:26,160
Speaker 1: gonna be very tough for the NFL. So again, who

1827
01:27:26,240 --> 01:27:28,720
Speaker 1: knows how reliable this is, but if it that is

1828
01:27:28,880 --> 01:27:31,240
Speaker 1: a true interpretation of the events, that's a good one

1829
01:27:31,320 --> 01:27:35,200
Speaker 1: for Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns. All right, thanks

1830
01:27:35,240 --> 01:27:37,360
Speaker 1: for being with us here today. Again, like I said,

1831
