Speaker 1: and veteran linebacker Willie Harvey also with some solid work

11
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: today on campus. One rookie who continues to make the

12
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: most of his opportunities is Michael Woods, the rookie out

13
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: of Oklahoma getting a lot of playing time. With three

14
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: of the top four wide receivers on the depth chart out,

15
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: Woods continues to have a strong camp. The third wide

Speaker 1: receiver winning David Bell and Anthony Schwartz sitting out today's

17
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,720

00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: monday's practice coach Kevin Stefanski said before practice today the

19
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: injury not considered serious. Cooper looks to be back soon.

20
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: Other guys not practicing today, including defensive Enginevian Clowney with

21
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: a day off, right tackle Jack Conklin, who is fresh

22
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 1: off the pup list and who the Browns are slowly

23
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: working back into full go, punter Corey Bojorkes, who missed

24
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,520

25
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: cornerback Reggie Robinson the second who didn't practice due to

26
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: a core muscle injury. Two takeaways after practice coach Stefanski

27
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: talking to the crew about conditioning and uh, maybe needing

28
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: to step that up a little bit. Also Brown's legend

29
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: Joe Thomas at the invite of offensive line coach Bill Callahan,

30
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: working with the offensive line on various techniques, then getting

31
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: some additional work in with left tackle Jedrick Will's junior.

32
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: Fantastic to see. It was a clinic and a half

33
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: time for today's bites for media availability, which was centered

34
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: around QB two Jacoby Brissette. A lot of good stuff

35
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: here from at about the veteran quarterback. First, Jacoby himself

36
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: on what he's most comfortable doing at the quarterback position.

37
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, like I said, it's still a new team,

38
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: so getting comfortable in the offense and and figuring out

39
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: what those things are is what we're out here doing.

40
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: Uh so. Uh And I'm sure when Coach the Fantasy

41
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: said he he was talking about se sees um how

42
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: training camp is going. That that's how Hill taylor a

43
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 1: game because he we haven't played in the game yet,

44
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: so uh excited to see what that would be. Obviously,

45
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: is the working progress, still learning, still getting better, still

46
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: learning more of the offense and the players and the

47
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: guys in a more competitive setting. Uh so excited about that,

48
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: and then we'll see how the game plan looks when

49
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: the games come around. Clip number two. Brissette I being

50
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: a natural leader, whether he's the starter or the backup.

51
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: I think so because I never look at myself as

52
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: a backup. You know, I'm just another quarterback on the

53
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: row there uh so. Um yeah, So I mean that

54
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: that trumps everything. And I think the leadership just comes

55
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: from within, I guess just the natural uh position that

56
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: I'm in that it kind of it kind of comes

57
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: out more from Brissette and how he feels about the

58
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: trust the Browns organization has put on him. Yeah, it's exciting,

59
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: uh you know it. Uh, I mean it's a little

60
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: it feels good, you know that that you you have

61
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: that trust of uh amongst the organization. Uh. And you know,

62
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: like I said, I'm excited for the opportunity. Uh. You know,

63
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: I have extremely confidence confidence in myself and my ability.

64
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: So uh, like I said, we're a long way from

65
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: week one, so you know, just continue to get better.

66
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: Head coach Kevin Stefanski addressed Brissette's mindset and always being

67
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,279
Speaker 1: prepared and ready no matter what the situation. There's uncertainty

68
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: and in our in this game, and and oftentimes it's

69
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: it's injury related. And with that backup quarterback, you have

70
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: to be ready to play at a moment's notice. And

71
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: sometimes you have heads up there you're gonna be playing,

72
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: and you get a week's worth of practice. Sometimes first

73
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: quarter you're playing. And that's the nature of being a

74
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: backup quarterback or a backup at any position. So I

75
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: think Jacoby's focus continues to be what it always is,

76
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: and and that's to prepare himself to play. And that's

77
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: prepare himself to play, you know, for today in this practice,

78
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: but moving forward, you gotta prepare yourself to play in

79
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: every game. Finally, Brissette's teammate and Indy and his good

80
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: friend then and now with the Browns. Linebacker Anthony Walker Jr.

81
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: Talks about Jacoby Brissette and the confidence he has in

82
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 1: the veteran quarterback. I don't really know the guy so

83
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: but but yeah, I've known Zacobe for so long now, Um,

84
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: I know the way he prepares his mindset. Um, whether

85
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: he's a starter or a backup, He's going to prepare us.

86
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: He's a starter and that's the love of the game

87
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: that he has, the respect of the game that he has.

88
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: And you know, at the end of the day, I

89
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: know he's gonna put his best foot forward. And um,

90
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: like I told him, you know, we we believe in him.

91
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: He knows everybody in this organization and believe in him.
