1
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to the best podcast available training competition. Here are

2
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 1: your hosts, Jason Gibbs, Andrew Gribble and Nick Shook, and

3
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: we welcome you to First Energy Stadium, home of the

4
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. And they finally let us out of fellar

5
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: call as the Orange and Brown scrimmage is complete here

6
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: at First Energy Stadium. It's a beautiful day here at

7
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: the stadium. Uh, temperatures in the eighties, almost a little hot,

8
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: fans in the seats. Nearly two hours before this whole

9
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 1: thing got started. Uh, you know, it was advertised as

10
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: a scrimmage, and we saw a little bit of scrimmaging,

11
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: especially in our number two. I'm Jason Gibbs, He's Andrew Dribble. No,

12
00:00:54,320 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: he's Nick Shook. That's how this day is going, yeah normally. Yeah, yeah,

13
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: that's how He's trying to be the biggest loser in

14
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,559
Speaker 1: our competition in the in the office and currently working

15
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: his way towards it. That's Andy Gripple on the far end.

16
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: He was competing for that ship. Doesn't have to compete

17
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: for that. He's already got the guns out. I lost

18
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: my weight already, oh hey, and I gained it all.

19
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: It was great. Uh, we're recapping the origin Brown scrimmage, guys. Uh,

20
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: big takeaways from you guys as we get started here.

21
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it was essentially what we've seen at training camp,

22
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: but boiled down to a field where we're gonna see

23
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: some meaningful action in a month or so. Uh. And

24
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: it was I thought a pretty good day for Again,

25
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: it was it followed the theme from this week, good

26
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: day for the offense, with also some good plays on defense.

27
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: I liked what I saw from from Baker Mayfield, especially

28
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: the end connecting with Pharrell Brown at the end, but

29
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: I've also liked seeing what the defense did. There was

30
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: a series there with the first team offense, uh near

31
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: the end of practice where they didn't could't even get

32
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: a first down, just stopped him right away. So a

33
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: lot of good on on both sides of the ball.

34
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: And I think it even though it was it was

35
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: it was basically a practice that we've all seen in Barria,

36
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: but just before a muss A large studio audience here

37
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: and at first Synergy Stadium fans were into it. And

38
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: I think that that helped, if anyone, that helped the

39
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: kickers get more of an even bigger pressure situation. Uh.

40
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: And I thought one kicker did very well and that

41
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: that situation with Greg Joseph and Austin Cyber still had

42
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: some issues. I will say I think collectively they did

43
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: better than I might have anticipated them doing, just because

44
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 1: we hadn't seen any consistency from them at all. And

45
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: Greg Joseph hit one from fifty one at the end

46
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: of a situational uh period in the practice in which

47
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: you know they had driven down the field to come

48
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: up short. Uh. And and Austin Cybert from thirty three

49
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 1: later hit one, which you know is a more makeable

50
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: one than fifty one, but it's still a tough field goal.

51
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: So uh, that was encouraging to see. But you know,

52
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: the surprise player of the day maybe and maybe we're

53
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: I'm jumping ahead here, but Farrell Brown, uh, tight end

54
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: who is getting a lot of reps with the ones

55
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: because David and Joe who was kind of in and

56
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,399
Speaker 1: out today and we've seen some some injuries and uh,

57
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: you know, guys on the sideline and out of practice

58
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: and pharrells taking advantage of him. He had a nice

59
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: day to day. He had that one catch where it

60
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: was like the throw was behind him. Yeah, and he

61
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: made that. I mean that was that was something we

62
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: hadn't seen these first few days. I think that the

63
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: size is there, and you know, he looks the part

64
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: of that second tight end. It's if he can catch

65
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 1: and and make plays, and he's making place. Yeah, definitely.

66
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: I think the other guy that stood out to me,

67
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: Money Mitch, has put together a couple of solid days

68
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: and that continued today, and you know, maybe he got

69
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: a little I saw that Greedy was getting some first

70
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: team reps. Maybe that was a little bit of a

71
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: motivating factor. I don't think so with a guy like

72
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: Terrence Mitchell. But Mitchell really put together a couple of

73
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: nice days, including today, Really shunt. It's interesting to see

74
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: where they're playing them in the first and second team,

75
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: and also just how they're playing them, and they're going

76
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: back and forth a little bit and agree he's not

77
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: getting all the first team reps, money match getting more

78
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: of them today and definitely taking advantage of them. The

79
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: thing that I think he really excels at is playing physically.

80
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: You know, he's he's not huge corner, but he's a

81
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: decent size corner. He plays bigger than he is and

82
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: he's also all over the receiver in a legal way,

83
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: not not in in a way that we draw a

84
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: flag before he breaks up passes. And you're right, he's

85
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: had I think he's had a really good probably two

86
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: or three practices. It's making this competition really interesting. Yeah,

87
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: And I think we talked about the right guard competition

88
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: and the rotation. It's a different person every day. It

89
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: really has been the same thing at cornerback. It seems

90
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: like whenever someone whenever it's a greedy day, is like

91
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: everyone's like, oh, it's Greedy's at first team defense, and

92
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: and no one talks about the other guys just so,

93
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: But it really is a rotation that's included t J Carey,

94
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: t J Carrey practice there on Friday at the outside

95
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: corner spot. And and it's very much in this competition

96
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: even to be the outside starting corner obviously, I think

97
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: a lot we all agree that he he seems like

98
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: the best fit in the slot, but they need to

99
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: get him ready on the outside too. I just look

100
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: at it as if the Browns have four corners and

101
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: they're going to figure it out. And that's what we've

102
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: seen from rotation standpoint. It's really mirror the right guard,

103
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: maybe not as as daily as the right guard situation,

104
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: but it's it's been rotating pretty good. I think it

105
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: also speaks to, you know, the versatility of the back

106
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: end of this defense as a whole, not just the cornerbacks,

107
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: but also the safeties because with those three safety looks again,

108
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: you know, you might get a guy who's gonna play

109
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: that slot corner role and he's actually a safety, or

110
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: you might go more with a traditional slot corner. And

111
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: you can do a lot of different things with these guys,

112
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: which I think only bodes well for what they can

113
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: do against an opponent because they can give them different

114
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: looks that are going to confuse the opposition that are

115
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: going to look unfamiliar that they might not even seen

116
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: on tape because they have the capability and the personnel

117
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: to do it. And it's really encouraging to see that

118
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: and see so many of these guys playing well through

119
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: camp so far. Alright, quarterback room gribble will start with you. Obviously,

120
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield showed some things, especially on that touchdown past

121
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: the Farrell Brown and move the offense up and down

122
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: the field. What do you see from the backup quarterbacks today?

123
00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: I mean, they're fine they're right, Drew Stanton Stanton today,

124
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: but I think we did at any point last season.

125
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: I mean, the touchdown passes great, it was. I mean,

126
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: that was a great drive. He I think he benefited

127
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: from having a guy like Richard Higgins working with the

128
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: second team today. I mean it seemed like he found

129
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: Richard maybe three or four times on that drive alone. Uh.

130
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: And then it was such a good touchdown pass that

131
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: Richard walked the red carpet at the end of Yeah.

132
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,119
Speaker 1: I think that was fun for the for the fans

133
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: as well. And I think we've liked what we've seen

134
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: from Garrett Gilbert, and I think it's opened the discussion

135
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: on whether or not this team is going to keep

136
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: three quarterbacks or not. And I think that maybe at

137
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: this time in May or April, we would have been like,

138
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: oh no, it looks like they're just gonna roll with two.

139
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: But Gilbert has been good enough that you you could

140
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: seriously consider if the way the numbers break down, that

141
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 1: you end up carrying three this year. Yeah, maybe it's

142
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: not a point where you necessarily are you have the

143
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: luxury of that, because you probably want to fit somebody

144
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: else in elsewhere. But there's these are three candidates well

145
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: you know obviously you know you have a number six,

146
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: but two candidates behind him who have very strong cases

147
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 1: to make this team. All right, offensive, Uh, what did

148
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: you see that? The right guard competition today? Today was

149
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: a cushed day and and he was solid. There was

150
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: once or twice where he got caught on skates a

151
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: little bit, a little bit of his momentum too far back,

152
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: but overall he was solid. Not an issue at all,

153
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: not not something that they caused any problems with either

154
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: the running or the passing game. Ran a lot of

155
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: play action today, a lot of bootlegs got Baker out

156
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: and running, got Drew standing out and running, even got

157
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: Gary gilbrotut and running a little bit too. So you're

158
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: not gonna get as good of a look. I think

159
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: when the action is moving away from a guy, oftentimes

160
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: you'll script that because you don't trust your offensive line.

161
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: That's not the case here. It's just something that is

162
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: a staple in the Freddy Kitchen's offense. He loves to

163
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: run the ball and run out of play action and

164
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: work off the run build out that way. So uh,

165
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: not the easiest I think data to really get a

166
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: close look at them. But I mean, they're all playing solid.

167
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: The thing that strikes me the most, and we were

168
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: talking about this on the sideline, is I think for

169
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: his unexpected as this might be Austin Corbett just looks

170
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: so natural at center. When he's playing second team center.

171
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 1: He looks like he has a very firm grasp of

172
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: of all the responsibilities that come with playing center. He

173
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: looks good snapping in his first two steps, He's stout,

174
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: he doesn't give up ground. He's a big guy, and

175
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: it seems like, you know, they don't have a need

176
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: at center right now, but it could be in his future,

177
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: believe it or not. You know, he could end up

178
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: being in the starting right guard, but he could also

179
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: very He's proven to be very capable of playing center.

180
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: Something to watch I would say is JC Treeder plays

181
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: the last year of his contract. Absolutely, Maybe not something

182
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: for this year and hopefully we wouldn't have to have

183
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: that situation, but maybe some decisions for this front office

184
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: to make going into the off season next year. I

185
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: as to think it bodes well in case of emergency,

186
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: you know, in in case Jc's health is not up to,

187
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: you know, the level that it needs to be for

188
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 1: him to be able to play, and we've seen him

189
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: get you know, he's tweaked his ankle this week, and

190
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: I've seen him get rolled up on a few times.

191
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: I mean so far, because these inside run periods have

192
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: been very physical, So you know, I think it it

193
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: is good for the depth of the team and the

194
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: in case of emergency break glass situation having Austin Corbett

195
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: prepared to play center the pensively. Not a lot of

196
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: tackling to the ground today. What do you take away

197
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: from the defense? One takeaway from each of you on

198
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: the defense. I mean, it's the last couple of days

199
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: that the the young linebackers have been kind of surging

200
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: a little bit and and kind of raising some eyebrows again.

201
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: Mack Wilson with an interception today. That's two straight days,

202
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: ran right up the middle unscathed on the one on

203
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: the two minute drive, right, and he I think he's

204
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: he's making himself known. Especially you've got a Darius Taylor

205
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: down now, so there's even more opportunities there to kind

206
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: of get not not necessarily a starting role, but a

207
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: firm kind of backup role. We still haven't seen in

208
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: our Davey out here in a while. Unsure really how

209
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: much linebacking he's even gonna do. But these two rookies

210
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: are playing at a level that makes you feel good

211
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,719
Speaker 1: about the depth at that position. You know, That's kind

212
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: of what's the point I was kind of go with,

213
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 1: I was kind of I was going to go with,

214
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: but but I'm gonna go a little bit different here

215
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: and go defensive line because some interesting contributors at the

216
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: defensive tackle position, especially Sheldon Richardson, has had a couple

217
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: off days. Um, you know, we've seen some decent play

218
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: from Travon Coley and also from Daniel Quality, who you know,

219
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: was is a name that a lot of people might

220
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: not be familiar with, but he has seen he has

221
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: seemed to be a pretty effective traditional one technique. He's

222
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: a gap plugger. He's a guy who's going to command

223
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: a double team and in eat up two blockers successfully,

224
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: and he's also getting a little bit of penetration back there.

225
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: Coley made a nice tackle for loss early in the

226
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: practice today, So, uh that that's been somewhat encouraging because

227
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: you always have to worry about depth and when you

228
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 1: have one of those new guys that you're going to

229
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: expect a lot from all of a sudden, not playing,

230
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna need to make sure that you've got somebody

231
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: behind him who's capable, and it seems like they've got

232
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: at least a couple right there. And it's also an

233
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 1: interesting position to watch as we trimmed down this roster.

234
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: That's what happened at the Orange and Brown scrimmage here

235
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: at First Energy Stadium. For more on the scrimmage are

236
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: on Andrew Gribble had a chance to sit down with

237
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 1: one of the leaders of this offense in guard Joel Betonio.

238
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: Have a listen. I tell you, guys are about ten

239
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: days into camp right now and then kind of having

240
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: a big event with all the fans here. What do

241
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: you what do you think you got at today's scrimmage. Yeah,

242
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: first and foremost, it was pretty cool to uh see

243
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: all the fans out here, you know, I know, we

244
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: came in the whole lower bowls pumped up and and packed,

245
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: and then the club section I think was it was

246
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: full as well. It was. It was pretty cool to

247
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: walk out here. Field look great and and just to

248
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,599
Speaker 1: get on in front of fans. Different atmosphere. I know,

249
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: a lot of young guys. It's good to be in

250
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: the stadium before that first preseason game, and then just

251
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: from an offensive line standpoint, what do you how do

252
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: you feel like you guys have been progressing so far?

253
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: And now that you guys have gotten the pads on

254
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 1: eight straight days, how, how's how's it been going from

255
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: that point. Yeah, it's it's been fun. You know, pretty

256
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: physical out there. You know, we've done a lot of

257
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: live run periods and things of that nature, and it's, uh,

258
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: it's been pretty intense, but I think we're trying to improve.

259
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,359
Speaker 1: You know, they're putting us in not the best situations.

260
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: You know, we have like, you know, three downs to

261
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: get ten yards and the defense thoves are running to

262
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: their blitz and safeties and corners and filling every gap.

263
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: But it's only gonna put both sides in a better position.

264
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: So it's it's one of those things where it's like, hey,

265
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 1: we're working right now, but hopefully we'll get to the game.

266
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: It's easier for us. Is that the first kind of

267
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: camp you've been in where the coach is literally telling

268
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: the defense what you guys are trying to run and

269
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: where you're running it, and you have to just basically

270
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 1: out block them. Um, I think so, you know. I mean,

271
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: we'll run a play. We have a script, usually like

272
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: three plays, and after the first play, Freddie will just

273
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: use keel we're running it right here, run it right here.

274
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 1: And he's not lying either. It's not like we're running

275
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: play action passed. We just run the ball right there.

276
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: And he just wants to know that they can stop

277
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: the ball and hopefully we can get some runs out

278
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: of it and make it as tough as possible flipping

279
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: it around. What if you I know the guys have

280
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: been banged up a little bit, but what have you

281
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: thought of the two new additions to the defensive line

282
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: and how much problems they've caused you guys? Yeah, they're

283
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: good players. Um. You know, I really enjoy working with

284
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: Sheldon um because he's a smart, good player. You know,

285
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 1: he works hard, but he also is gonna help me improve.

286
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna help him improve, and it's been a it's

287
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: been a fun battle in camp. And then o Vie

288
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: is uh, he's very technical. You know, Miles is a

289
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 1: freak athlete, no doubt about it. But Ovie does a

290
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: great job of being very deliberate with his moves and

291
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: I think for the tackles. That's really good. They get

292
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: to see two different rushers that can, um give them

293
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: two different worlds that they're gonna be dealing with this year.

294
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 1: You've been in the room and there's some competitions going

295
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: on at position. You've got three guys at right guard

296
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: right now. What what's just the dynamics like between those

297
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: guys and and how does that work with with you

298
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: where you're at a left guard. Yeah, all of them

299
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: are very do it with each other. The on line

300
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: room is is a fun room to be in, no

301
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: matter if we're competing or not. And uh, you know,

302
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: all three of those guys are very focused on their goal.

303
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: You know, they all want to be that starting the

304
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: right guard, but they're also all trying to help improve

305
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: this team. Um, it's been fun to be around. You know.

306
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: I know a lot of times you want to have

307
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: that group of five ready to go, but when you

308
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 1: have a you know, three guys competing, hopefully the best

309
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: guy rises and he becomes even better than he was before.

310
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: We saw him out there day and he looks kind

311
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: of natural doing it. What have you thought of Corbett

312
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: as a as a center out there? Yeah? He Um,

313
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: he's improven there. You know, he got a lot of

314
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: reps last year when j C was banged up, didn't

315
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: practice as much, so we got a bunch of reps

316
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 1: plants center last year, and um, he's improved all the time.

317
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 1: You know, camp he's done a good job of putting

318
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: him in some good positions where he can actually run

319
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: some drills and learn how to play center instead of

320
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: practicing all the time last year. But it's a position

321
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: that you know, he might have to play in the future.

322
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: But um, I think he's just trying to be the

323
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: best player he can be and that happens to get

324
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: some reps with center to I know you were here

325
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: in two thousand fourteen, there was a lot of buzz

326
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: about the team with Johnny and everything like that, a

327
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: lot of excitement. What makes this excitement feel a little

328
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: bit different going to this season, Um, I think we

329
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: have the players. You know, I think Johnny was kind

330
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: of a little bit unproven. Um, but here we have

331
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: guys that have done it in the NFL, and that's

332
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: pretty cool to be around. You know, even the guys

333
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: we've brought in, you know, O'Dell, o v. Sheldon, they've

334
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: all played a high level in the NFL, and then

335
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: you have Baker who's proved it over whatever it was,

336
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: thirteen games last year. So you have those things and

337
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: that kind of she says, Hey, we actually have the

338
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: ability instead of just thinking we might have the ability.

339
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: What have you thought of Baker just in general with

340
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: the second season here, Oh, he's done a great job.

341
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: I think he's uh become even a bigger leader for us.

342
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: You know, he's always been vocal, but he's uh, he's

343
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: smart with it. You know. He he calls out guys

344
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: when he needs to, He leads by example. Um, he's

345
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: intense in the huddle when he has to be, and

346
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: he's laid back when he needs to be too. Overall,

347
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,479
Speaker 1: I mean, I've seen a big leap and hopefully it

348
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: comes out on the field as well. The last one

349
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: just about the defense in general. What have you just

350
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: seen from them? It's just seems it seems like they've

351
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: given you us some problems. And is that a reflection

352
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: of how good they might be this season? Yeah, they've

353
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: done a good job. They've thrown a lot of blitzes

354
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: at us, and uh, you know, to be fair on

355
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: nine on seven period, when you're running the ball is

356
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: a little bit defensive friendly, you know, or team pass

357
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: period when you're just passing the ball is pretty uh,

358
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: pretty past friendly. But they've done some good things. There's

359
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: some some good looks. I wouldn't want a game plan

360
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: for him, at least from a blitz perspective. They thrown

361
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: a lot of things out where we've had to really

362
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: sit back and be like, how we're gonna pick this up.

363
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: So it's been, uh, it's been pretty fun to battle

364
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: with them and and hopefully I'll help us see all

365
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: the looks we're gonna see during the season real quick.

366
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: Just how his training camp life as a dad here

367
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: first one in the NFL as a dad. Yeah, it's different.

368
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: You know, it's a little sadder. You know, I don't

369
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: get to go home to my wife and uh a

370
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: little baby Zoe. But um, it's been very cool to

371
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: see him come after practice and get to hang out

372
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: for ten or fifteen minutes after practice and kind of

373
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: see her grow from day to day. When they're young,

374
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's pretty magical quickly they grow up. But

375
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: it's been really fun and and you know, I'm blessed

376
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: to have a healthy family and be able to play football.

377
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: So it's been all around pretty cool, good stuff. They're

378
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: from Joel Battonio a business like day, Andrew Gribble on

379
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: the offensive line. Yeah, you know, it was interesting that

380
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: My favorite thing to ask him in that interview was,

381
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: you know, we've seen it a lot in practice, but

382
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: I asked him, you know about have you ever been

383
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: at a camp where their coach tells the defense will

384
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: play you're running? He said, no, he hasn't, but it's

385
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: it's something where they've it's challenging this offensive line and

386
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: I think if anyone we talked about this tough physical camp,

387
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: it's been the toughest on those guys. I mean that

388
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: those guys have been taking a beating because Nick Chubbs

389
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: obviously running inside a lot, but he's not getting tackled

390
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: to the ground. Those guys are haven't playing game steps

391
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: over and over and over again. Uh and and hopefully

392
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: they'll be for the better of it. And you know,

393
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: for Joel Patonio, he's been through his first season ever.

394
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: Here was with hype at an all time high with

395
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: Johnny Man's in town. But now as he said that

396
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: this is legitimate because they've got players, and I think

397
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 1: that that that's got him really excited as now one

398
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 1: of the longest tenure guys in the entire team. That's

399
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: a good point about the wear and tear tear on

400
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: an offensive lineman, you know throughout camp, because you know,

401
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: you see guys run routes and the catch passes and

402
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 1: they might get tapped, they're not sometimes they're not even hit,

403
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: they're just tapped, and you know that's that's less that's

404
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 1: less physical impact on the body over time. Whereas you know,

405
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: you're right, these guys are are playing full go every snap,

406
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: every down, not only in team, but also in the

407
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: inside run when they're in group session and an individual

408
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: sometimes when they're going with one on ones, because these

409
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: i mean, these practices so far have been structured to

410
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: where they'll get that inside run in which is a lot,

411
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: and then they immediately go and do one on ones afterward,

412
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 1: and then they work their way right back into team.

413
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: I mean from that basically, from beyond individual on is

414
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: a lot of work for these guys on a daily basis,

415
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: and they're handling it very well and they are making

416
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 1: incremental improvements. So you know, it's it's definitely good to see,

417
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: but you're right. A lot of talent on this team

418
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 1: and reason for for the people to be excited, and

419
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: we saw it today. I mean, the turnout here was incredible.

420
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: It was absolutely fantastic. I felt like I was at

421
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 1: the home opener. It was that loud and people were

422
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: that excited to watch these guys come out of the tunnel.

423
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, the introductions of each position group

424
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: got louder and louder and louder, and then you knew

425
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: what the last two position groups were, a wide receiver

426
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: and a quarterback, and obviously the biggest roars from the

427
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: fan base. At least thirty one thousand tickets were purchased,

428
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: and imagine there were with the weather. Yeah, I would

429
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: think that you had that and then some today and

430
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: they stayed for most of this practice as well. So

431
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: a good environment for what these guys are gonna see

432
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: Thursday night, and then obviously you can double it for

433
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: what they're going to see in September. I have a

434
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: feeling it's not going to be your typical preseason attendance.

435
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: Is their stay, I think it's going to be pretty high. Yeah,

436
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna have plenty, at least for the

437
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: first half and we'll kind of see what happens. All right.

438
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: We actually have a day off tomorrow. Yeah, I actually

439
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: get a day off tomorrow. Like you guys had a

440
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: couple of menths. You got has had a mental health

441
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: Tuesday was a fake day office. I wasn't in the office,

442
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: but I was in the office mentally. Yeah I was there.

443
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 1: So I was working. I was working. It was a

444
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: don't drive in the car to barea, I was. I

445
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: was working from home and legitimately working from home, I

446
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: got working, so I you know, I've got to I've

447
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:25,479
Speaker 1: gotta apologize for that. Then, soom that it was was

448
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: uh day off tomorrow for all of us, including the team.

449
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: On Monday, it's officially game week. So practice in camp

450
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday your walk through day. Thursday, Welcome

451
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: to game Day. And it'll be interesting to see how

452
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: Freddie approaches these first two days of the week. I'm

453
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,479
Speaker 1: sure that they're going to continue to go hard, but

454
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 1: at some point are they're gonna pull back a little bit.

455
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 1: As we approached Thursday, I just wonder this is the

456
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: time where maybe you, uh the least, especially that Tuesday practice,

457
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: you might see a few more reps for day blow

458
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: in the third and fourth group. I mean that just

459
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: because you gotta get them ready. I mean they're gonna

460
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: play a lot in that first preseason games. That's that's

461
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: usually the only difference you see this early in camp. Otherwise,

462
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: I don't know if the coach is too concerned about

463
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: having the guy's worn out for the game because the

464
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: points don't matter, especially because they're gonna practice on Friday

465
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: afternoon as well. Yeah, it's I think it's kind of interesting.

466
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: I wonder what kind of data and what the data

467
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: says about how they're tracking these guys, because Freddy has

468
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: talked about this before, how they track these guys and

469
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: and what key indicators say that maybe a guy needs

470
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 1: some time, offer needs to you know, take it slow.

471
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 1: We've seen that with Odell for a couple of days,

472
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: because in the guys I've just talked to, you know,

473
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,239
Speaker 1: off the record, that the thing I keep hearing as

474
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: I run into them and just you know, quick conversation

475
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 1: is yeah, you know, are you feeling good? Yeah, but

476
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: I'm just tired, man. And I understand camp is a grind,

477
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 1: but I have a feeling that at some point, because

478
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 1: of the nature of this camp that they might get

479
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 1: a reprieve that they don't expect as of this point.

480
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: But then again, listen, you you can't you can't add

481
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 1: a practice on the schedule. I mean you can, but

482
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: theoretically you can't, uh it just because you're doing something poorly.

483
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 1: But you can always cancel up practice if you're performing well.

484
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: So I maybe that'll happen. We'll see. All right, that's

485
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: gonna wrap up everything from a busy Saturday here at

486
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,000
