Speaker 4: a chance to talk with the one Jones. I got

16
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 4: a chance to talk with Dorian Thompson Robinson.

17
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: Uh.

18
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 4: Some fine young men added certainly into the Browns program.

19
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 3: And and so that was fun.

20
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 4: There's a little bit of a buzz, I would say,

21
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 4: at the Cross Country Mortgage Campus with the rookies in town.

22
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 4: So it's been good. Nice weather again. We love to

23
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 4: see that. And then I think last night, you know,

24
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 4: the schedule release a lot of fun. Obviously. I enjoyed

25
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 4: getting to see people and see the reactions to it, uh,

26
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 4: you know, myself and the Miz providing a little commentary.

27
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 4: Although I did get a note from somebody that was

28
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 4: a good one. There was we should have had a

29
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 4: cartoon version of ourselves at the desk.

30
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 2: That very cool. I got big time McMahon jesse the

31
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 2: body vibes is the that was the that's the way.

32
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 2: That was kind of yeah, that's I don't know if

33
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 2: that was the intent, but it felt like that to me.

34
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 4: It was just us kind of riffing, you know a

35
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 4: lot of it and going just off the cuff. But yeah,

36
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 4: I thought Mike especially had some whoa McMahon jesse the

37
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 4: body Vibes, which was a lot of fun, and you know,

38
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 4: I was. It was funny because somebody had mentioned to

39
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 4: me about about the cartoon part of it, and I said,

40
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 4: you know what, and I need a cartoon d after

41
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 4: that poster I needed. I needed no redemption and this

42
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 4: could have been the shot. But nonetheless, it was awesome

43
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 4: to be a part of it and had a ton

44
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 4: of fun doing it. And I think that, you know,

45
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 4: over the whole landscape, I'm certainly very proud of what

46
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 4: we did and have to give a huge shout out

47
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 4: to Jeff McDaniel, who puts together from our content and

48
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 4: production team. Is really his brainchild to do something in wrestling.

49
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 4: And there are a bunch of different ways that it

50
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 4: could have gone, and then this is what we ended

51
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 4: up with. And I thought, I thought it did well.

52
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 4: I thought it held up. You know, we didn't have

53
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 4: the benefit of of the you know, the decline of

54
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 4: the intelligence of humanity, like the Titans had it at

55
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 4: their benefit or just in that case, just the ignorance

56
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 4: about professional sports teams clearly. But I thought it was

57
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 4: I thought it was good, and I thought it was fun.

58
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 4: And now we'll get into the schedule, you know, later

59
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 4: on in the program, but it's a fun It's cool

60
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 4: that this has become kind of an event.

61
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 2: It's an event for the in house media teams, is

62
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 2: what it is.

63
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 5: Yes, it's it is.

64
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: It is something that the NFL network, that NFL media,

65
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 2: NFL social media. It is something that is really important

66
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: to those people to land the plane on it. And

67
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 2: there was no lack of star power around the league. Yeah,

68
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 2: and I saw probably a half dozen or so of

69
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 2: them yesterday I thought what we did was was spectacular.

70
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 2: Jeff's just so good. I mean, he's so good. You

71
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 2: and Miss that's a layup. I mean, you guys are

72
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 2: not only have the chemistry and all that stuff at

73
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: your good buddies, And that obviously played through. The other

74
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 2: thing I think that helped with that is not only

75
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: is he who he is, but you two both have

76
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 2: a long standing love of professional wrestling. So it felt

77
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: to me. That's what I mean. I mean, I mean

78
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: that is the highest form of compliment, Like it really

79
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 2: felt like a nineteen ninety and you know w at

80
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 2: the time, WWF Wrestling Saturday Night's main event feel to it.

81
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

82
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was great fun.

83
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 4: And you know I like to do I do for

84
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 4: aiw absolute in tense wrestling, I get to do a

85
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 4: little commentary on the side, which I love, and so yeah,

86
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 4: it was basically when they approached me with this idea,

87
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 4: uh yeah, I will do commentary for this. That would

88
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 4: be awesome. And then obviously we're able to get Mike

89
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 4: involved and I think he's hopefully joining us shortly. But

90
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 4: it was, Yeah, it was a blast, and we did it.

91
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 4: We kind of had we knew who the characters were

92
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 4: we had like a little bit of kind of a

93
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 4: one cheeter and you know, they went through a lot

94
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 4: to kind of get to who each character would be.

95
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 4: And I don't think that's the last ye're going to

96
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 4: see of these people. By the way, little pay attention

97
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 4: to scores there, and then we just kind of like

98
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 4: rifted it out, which was to me the most fun

99
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 4: of it of the whole thing.

100
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's what I mean. There's a natural chemistry

101
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 2: between the two of you and a natural appreciation with

102
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: both of you in the sport. So it came across

103
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 2: as very authentic. And you can't get more authentic than

104
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 2: you and Mike when you're doing that type of thing.

105
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 2: And the schedule itself, and I know we'll get into

106
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 2: some of the specifics. I mean this, you're coming in hot, man.

107
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 3: Coming in hot.

108
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 4: You want to be good, and you gotta beat good teams,

109
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 4: and look, our division is chock full of them. Three

110
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 4: of our first four games in the division were the

111
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 4: only team in the league that will not that is

112
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 4: home for five of the first six weeks weeks and

113
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 4: we have obviously a bye week in the middle of that,

114
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 4: but they're the only team in the league that has

115
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 4: just one road game through the first six weeks of

116
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 4: the season, so you got to take advance. We've been

117
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 4: very good at home under Kevin Stefanski. We've been very

118
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 4: good at home in the division under Kevin Stefanski. And

119
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 4: so you know, you want to be good, you got

120
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 4: to go beat the Bengals. You want to be good,

121
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 4: you gotta go to Pittsburgh and beat the Steelers. You

122
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 4: want to be good, you got to be at home,

123
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 4: and you got to beat the Baltimore Ravens.

124
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's to have three of the four first four

125
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: B Division games. Is it's pretty real. You're gonna find

126
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 2: out right away. I mean this this Browns team, you know,

127
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 2: for us, we and all of you out there listening,

128
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 2: like we have such anticipation about, you know, what this

129
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 2: season can be. But also, like we've talked about this

130
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 2: before on the show, like almost nothing that is happening

131
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 2: right now matters until you get to September. That's it.

132
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 2: Like all of this stuff is just window dressing, and

133
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 2: it's it's insignificant until you get to September. There's nothing

134
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 2: that happens between now and September tenth that's going to

135
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 2: change the way you think about this team positively or negatively,

136
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 2: and so you can't get a bigger welcome moment than Cincinnati,

137
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 2: who's been right there with Kansas City is the class

138
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 2: of the AFC the last couple of years and at

139
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 2: the top of the sport. So there's also some crazy

140
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 2: stuff with that opener, in the terms of burrows struggles

141
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 2: with the Browns and in terms of our struggles and

142
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 2: home openers. So something's got to give there.

143
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, we broke that curse last year in Carolina

144
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 4: with the fifty eight yardfield goal from Cam York and

145
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 4: so we all right, home openers have been terrible, But

146
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 4: I'm just focusing on a winning though first week. Bo Okay,

147
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 4: let's not get baby, we don't. Why do we have

148
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 4: to get more specific to make it worse. Let's just

149
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 4: focus on we one in week positives. Yeah, this should

150
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 4: be easier to win at home in week one, but yeah,

151
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 4: you like, it's the truth. You want to be good,

152
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 4: you want to be a team of consequence. You're going

153
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 4: to have to do that, and you're going to have

154
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 4: to do it quickly in your division because you know,

155
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 4: if you can come out of there and go two

156
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 4: and one in division. You're in a great spot setup

157
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,559
Speaker 4: for the rest of the season. But if you don't,

158
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 4: you're not in a great spot for the rest of

159
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 4: the season. So I think it's as critical an opening

160
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 4: quarter as we've ever had, especially with the bye week

161
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 4: coming after that.

162
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 2: Those first four early bye week man, wow.

163
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 3: And I don't I don't love an early bye week either.

164
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 4: Oh that's a plice to pay, says it all. I

165
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 4: feel like you know you've made it in life when

166
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 4: they just play a song and that means you that

167
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 4: like hearing that means them is has joined us.

168
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 3: Now, what's up, dude?

169
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 6: That is right. I am on the golf course. I

170
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 6: just teed off. I hit a two hundred and eighty

171
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 6: five yard drive. I'm still about i'd say about one

172
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 6: hundred and seventy out, so I think I might go

173
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 6: maybe eight iron onto the green. It's just something dominant

174
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 6: golf right now. I am a dominant force. I would

175
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 6: beat you. I would beat everybody that's played TPC Sawgrass.

176
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 6: But it's not about golf today. It's about football, Nathan,

177
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 6: and it's about the schedule release and the fact that

178
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,239
Speaker 6: not not to brag or anything, but our schedule pretty

179
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 6: easy not.

180
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 2: Gonna lie about it.

181
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 6: We got one you like it schedules out there. In

182
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 6: my opinion, in my humble opinion.

183
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 4: Is your opinion of the schedule as accurate as your

184
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 4: opinion of what you're doing on the golf course right now,

185
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 4: because other that you're making.

186
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 6: Me Nathan, if we were on the golf course right now, yeah,

187
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 6: it's sitting down doing nothing, Uh, basically talking chattery, using

188
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 6: your chatterbox. It would be an absolute domination.

189
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 3: Uh that's I would you going to do today?

190
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 6: I'm gonna have I might pray. I asked them what

191
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 6: the course record was and they sit sixty three, and

192
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 6: I said, no problem.

193
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 2: Today you're on a heater, Mike. I wouldn't put anything

194
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 2: past you. I mean, you dominate NBA All Star Weekend

195
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 2: with the shots around the world. Now you're doing schedule

196
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 2: release videos reminding me of of McMahon and Jesse the body,

197
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 2: and now you're gonna go shoot three two you're on

198
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 2: a heater, Bud.

199
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's just what I do every sport. I dominate,

200
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 6: just like the Browns are going to dominate this schedule.

201
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 6: How about that schedule release? Huh? Like I know, if

202
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 6: there's a lot of like, you know, people were talking

203
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 6: about the Chargers, people were talking about all these other teams.

204
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 6: I think Nathan and myself as as well as everyone

205
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 6: that did the animation for the schedule release deserves a

206
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 6: round of applause because we absolutely not only will we

207
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 6: dominate the entire you know season with this schedule, but

208
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 6: that schedule release just starts it off, right, Am I wrong?

209
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 3: No, You're not wrong. It did set a tone.

210
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 4: Have you heard from any of the people in your

211
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 4: other career in that world did they enjoy what you did,

212
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 4: what you put forth?

213
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean people were commenting all over the place.

214
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 6: I think, Gargano, I think people want to get involved.

215
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 6: To be honest, you know, when it comes to Cleveland,

216
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 6: I think we all stand together, no matter if we're

217
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 6: in the ring, you know, fighting each other, or if

218
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 6: we're in if you're from Cleveland, like, there's just a

219
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 6: bond that you have with everyone. And this bond that

220
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 6: we have is literally the Browns, the Guardians as well

221
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 6: as the Calves. And it sucks that the Cavs you know,

222
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 6: didn't go quite far in the playoffs as far as

223
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 6: I thought they would. But to be honest, it's a

224
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 6: learning curve and now I think we know what we

225
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 6: need and I think next year we're going to be great.

226
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 6: I think the Guardians are going to figure out what

227
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 6: they're doing. And as always being the playoffs, and now

228
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 6: it's the Browns' turn. You know, Deshaun has a full

229
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 6: season to literally show us kind of what he's got.

230
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 6: And I think from everyone that's been talking, they think

231
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 6: he's a franchise player, and what we saw down Houston,

232
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 6: he's a franchise and he's a hell of a quarterback.

233
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 6: And I just hope he's able to lead this team

234
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 6: to fruition. I mean, we all want playoffs, we want

235
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 6: super Bowl. I mean when people talk about the Browns now,

236
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 6: it's not talking like, oh you know, they're just saying

237
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 6: that because they always say that. No, this time, I

238
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 6: think people actually believe and I believe, and I think

239
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 6: this is the season that we need to prove it.

240
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 4: I'm ready to run through a wall. Mike' got me

241
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 4: all fired up right now. He's out there crushing drives,

242
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 4: hitting bombs and now he's talking big in listen. If

243
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 4: you want to be good, right, you go for you

244
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 4: main event of WrestleMania, you against John Cena. You want

245
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 4: to be good, you got to beat the best, and

246
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 4: right now, the best in our division has been the

247
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 4: Bengals the last two years.

248
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 3: That's who we open the season with.

249
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 4: And I say, what better way to open the season,

250
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 4: right make a statement at home and knock off the

251
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 4: people that have been the top of the AFC North

252
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 4: for the last two years. So are you you like

253
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 4: that Brown's Bengals game?

254
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 3: Are we gonna be? Let's get you could.

255
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 6: Come to the Browns the Bengals we usually take to

256
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 6: take it to the Bengals, like, that's one team that

257
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 6: we usually just take it too. So it's a great

258
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 6: way to start off the season to show exactly who

259
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 6: we are and just put a stamp on it. And

260
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 6: I just can't wait to watch it.

261
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 2: MS. What was go back to your youth? What did

262
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 2: as a as a native Cleveland or what did Brown's

263
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 2: Opening Day mean for you?

264
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, I think everyone was singing Bernie Bernie,

265
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 6: you know super Bowl on the bus ride home. I

266
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 6: remember being at Brown's Day and it was like, I

267
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 6: remember kindergarten. You know, you show up there's half half

268
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 6: days and I was class and my mom took me

269
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 6: to Parmittown Mall got me a Browns jersey Kozar of

270
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 6: course and uh and I went to kindergarten that day

271
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 6: with my Brown's Clozar jersey on just supporting the Browns.

272
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 6: I think that's what we do. We band together, and

273
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 6: there's nothing quite like it.

274
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 2: No, there is a there's a there's a sense of optimism.

275
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 2: It's I mean, we love fall.

276
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 6: Here you my second shot. While you guys talk, I'm

277
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 6: gonna shoot my second shot. I'm gonna put my my

278
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 6: phone so you can actually hear the shot. And I

279
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 6: remember drain it, so here we go.

280
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 4: He might make it.

281
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 2: He's like he's like Tiger Now do you see that

282
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 2: clip going around right now Tiger Woods? Where he doesn't take.

283
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 4: It, doesn't take divots. It's erroneous by the way. I

284
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 4: think he's messing with him, but incredible. It's the whole thing.

285
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 2: I love everything, just gonna pick it's gonna pick it

286
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 2: clean and flushing.

287
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 3: Let me ask you something.

288
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 4: Did his opening monologue right there remind you of anybody

289
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 4: that you and I happen to be huge fans of

290
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 4: their their whole yeah deal right now it's pure drop.

291
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 2: Probably you hear that did you hear it.

292
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 3: Oh, it has to be if it's if it's more

293
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 3: than five feet.

294
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 4: Away, I'm guessing that's not on the green A little bit.

295
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,599
Speaker 6: I wouldn't say, I would say it stated.

296
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 2: And butter cut fade.

297
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 6: I'm gonna put a little chip on there.

298
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 2: What hole are you?

299
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 3: Number one?

300
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 4: Are you on your course?

301
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 6: One valley at North Ranch? Right now?

302
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 3: Is that the whole? Is that what we played?

303
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 6: Uh?

304
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 3: Is it the one that goes by your house?

305
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 5: We may have lost him? Oh?

306
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 6: No, notes back, I'm on the car path, so that

307
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 6: means I have to take it behind the car path.

308
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 6: That's fine, that's okay. But by the way, I'm pin.

309
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 2: High on the carpet.

310
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 4: You know what, I noticed a lot of golf courses,

311
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 4: but car pass right by the green, so it must

312
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 4: not been a bad shot.

313
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 3: Okay, it's somewhere near a green. You can't drive your

314
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 3: cart near a green.

315
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 6: I'll put the picture and I'll show it to you.

316
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 6: It's literally right by the green, all right. You don't

317
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 6: know golf, Nathan, You don't know football. You don't know golf.

321
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 6: You're wrong, Nathan. That's what I think.

322
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 3: I love the people of Cleveland.

323
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 4: I think they're miss How many shots did it take

324
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 4: you to hit it on the green at seventeen at Sagress.

325
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 4: I'm curious because the picture was beautiful and it led

326
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 4: me to believe that it only took one.

327
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, as well, you know, I wish so I'm seventeen

328
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 6: on sawgrass. So they had the they didn't have the

329
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 6: right teeth, so we went back where the real pros play.

330
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 6: I used a pitching wedge. At first thought it was

331
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 6: about the wind was to my face like a lot.

332
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 6: But I was like, I can get it there. Didn't

333
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 6: get it there. It was way short, so I used

334
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 6: a nine h still couldn't get it there. Corn Fierry

335
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 6: guys were behind me. So the Cornfirary guys gave me

336
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 6: like advice. And this was after like ten balls going

337
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 6: in the drink, and the Cornfray guys came up to me.

338
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 2: It was like, hey, try six.

339
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 6: Can I swear to you? I used an eight iron,

340
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 6: hit it right on the green. It was amazing. It

341
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 6: was like I was I quit I said, I'm not

342
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 6: going to get on the green. It's just not going

343
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 6: to happen. And then the corn Fray guys came and

344
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 6: they were like, Yo, try this. So I tried it

345
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 6: and went around the green. It was awesome. My leftime,

346
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 6: What did.

347
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 4: They tell you to try? What was the advice? I mean, everybody,

348
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 4: we had a lot of I was so I was

349
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 4: sad for the people and advice at the start of

350
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 4: the advice and then they.

351
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 2: Start and then you don't get it you want. I

352
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 2: think what he said is he's got an eight iron

353
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 2: is what he was hoping for.

354
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 3: I think you had to put it back in the stance.

355
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 6: Maybe because I are you guys there now?

356
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think.

357
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 4: We've always been We've always been here.

358
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 6: Yeah for the eight iron. Right. So I hit the

359
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 6: eight iron. They basically aligned to me right. I was

360
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 6: using my fight that was the problem, and so they

361
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 6: align me right and then I hit it right on

362
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 6: the green. It was perfect.

363
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 3: They sweared, yep, but it was good.

364
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 2: I think perfect would also describe what you and Z did.

365
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,480

382
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,840

Speaker 3: Great missions. So people know there was no script or anything.

385
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 4: We just kind of like ripped it out there and

386
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 4: Mike was this hysterical art. I feel like there are

387
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 4: great out takes.

388
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 7: I was literally in this room, yeah there in our

389
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 7: in our polation, and Jeff walks in and goes, hey,

390
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 7: I forgot to tell you we gotta tape something with

391
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 7: z in the miz And I'm like, oh, okay, what,

392
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 7: like you what do you need? They're like no, no, no,

393
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 7: Like we just literally have a camera. We're gonna kind

394
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 7: of set up a zoom and they're just gonna freelance,

395
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 7: you know what we're doing. And I'm like, oh, all right,

396
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 7: And it's at one point I was pretty sure that

397
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 7: everybody behind the scenes was louder than the guys actually recording.

398
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 7: We were dying laughing. The outtakes are spectacle.

399
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 4: There'd be some good outtakes out there, for sure.

400
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 3: But I think it is together very well.

401
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 2: Like next is it? Next month? Isn't raw here? Like

402
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 2: in June?

403
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 4: I want to say June nineteenth? Yeah, I think June nineteenth. Well,

404
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 4: Father's Day weekend?

405
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 3: Yeah? Is that a week? Is that the Monday?

406
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 5: Yeah?

407
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 4: I think we're off that day the Monday after Yeah,

Speaker 4: but that's raw, yes, okay, oh baby, all right?

409
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 3: How about it?

410
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: Well?

411
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 3: How about it? I should have had that. I should have

412
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 3: gotten that in there for uh. Vince Sigman, Hugh Stunner, Well,

413
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 3: how about it? Uh?

414
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 2: It was good the other among the others that stood

415
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 2: out obviously Tennessee, like it's funny, how amazing, how the

416
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 2: you know you think of something like that. And I

417
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 2: don't know if it could have been explained as well

418
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 2: as it was executed, because if someone told me this

419
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 2: is what we're going to do and it was going

420
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 2: to land the plane. I don't know that it would have.

421
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 2: But I think the combination of like them with the

422
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 2: like rudimentary logo and then the NFL music hitting. Yeah,

423
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,719
Speaker 2: something about the way they did it just crushed because initially,

424
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 2: as I started watching, and I didn't know that it

425
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 2: would I didn't think it.

426
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 3: Was going to go.

427
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 2: But then wow, did it? It was? I mean I

428
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 2: was dying.

429
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 4: That was great. Some of the guesses were unbelievable.

430
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I love that the Falcons changed their name

431
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 2: to the Red Stallions this morning on Twitter.

432
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 3: Yes, how could you look at that and see a Stallion?

433
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 2: I don't no, I know, I don't know.

434
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 5: I don't know. I don't know.

435
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 4: And I feel like the Baltimore Orioles people like, good

436
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 4: for them. That's at least the Baltimore sports franchise. That's that's.

437
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 2: The Colts. Being the Cowboys twice was pretty good. I mean,

438
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 2: the Star that's America's team. We or we thought, I

439
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 2: would say, yea, we were. We are the world's team

440
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 2: because when ours popped up, what were we called football team?

441
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 4: The football logo that's just the football just a football logo.

442
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, world's team then.

443
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, because we we are football. That's what we do here.

444
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 2: I thought the Bears one was really good. If you've

445
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 2: seen the show The Bear on FX.

446
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 4: So I had not seen the show, so nobody. I

447
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 4: enjoyed it, but it I felt like I didn't know

448
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 4: if it was enough to do an entire schedule.

449
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like the first was really an homage, almost shot

450
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 2: by shot of that show. So I think that's you know,

451
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 2: if you if you saw that show was instantly recognizable.

452
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 2: The Cowboys using Taylor Sheridan and Jerry Jones Taylor Shardan,

453
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 2: the creator of Yellowstone, that was quite good. I enjoyed

454
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 2: that one. Uh, the comedic timing of that and also

455
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 2: they clearly shot it and they were all in different

456
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 2: locations when they shot it, but it worked out quite I.

457
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 3: Have his reactions.

458
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 4: I thought The Chargers was great again. I think the

459
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 4: the anime guy is really really good. Yeah, it's fun.

460
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 4: It's a fun. It's unbelievable to me how this has

461
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 4: changed so much. And somebody did say to me, you know,

462
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 4: the reason, we like to get the schedule early so

463
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 4: then we can plan what road trips we get to.

464
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 4: So that makes perfect perfectly good sense. But the fact

465
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 4: that has become this spectacle other than just here's the

466
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 4: schedule is incredible to me.

467
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 3: And what do you think of the Jags? What did

468
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:44,719
Speaker 3: you think of the Jaguars?

469
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 2: I didn't see theirs.

470
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 4: Oh god, it's about it's like ten minutes. It's you

471
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 4: know when that then, wasn't it? Arian Foster who said

472
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 4: the NFL was scripted?

473
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, no, no, no, I did see some of that.

474
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 2: I lost pay It was too long.

475
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 3: I just it was way too long.

476
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 7: And like some of us, a nine minute and fifty

477
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 7: second mark of the thing they throw up the schedule.

478
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 5: It was like, yeah, we waited all this, like.

479
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 7: You couldn't sprinkle it in as we were going through this.

480
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 2: I watched it for probably a couple of minutes, and

481
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,959
Speaker 2: then I bailed, Like I kind of understood the premise

482
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,959
Speaker 2: and then I bailed a little bit. But the premise

483
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 2: was good. Though the premise was fine, the more than fine.

484
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 2: I think that the Broncos with with Manning, like the

485
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 2: fact that he goes back to the well to play

486
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 2: comedy over and over again because he's just so good

487
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 2: at it. He's so good. And they got Angela from

488
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 2: the office on that.

489
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 4: It's impossible to watch all of these though.

490
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 2: No I couldn't. I mean, no, you know there was

491
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 2: That's the thing, and I'm sure for like our guys,

492
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 2: for everybody, like the goal is to be the one

493
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 2: that goes viral, but you have no control over that.

494
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 2: Like you feel like, you know, you want to be

495
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 2: original every year, you want to try something different every year,

496
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 2: and so it's it's hard to be the to be

497
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 2: the one. If there's one that goes viral, Like you

498
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 2: hadn't seen the Dallas one. I mean it's Taylor Sheridan

499
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 2: with Jerry Jones. Wow, that's that's pretty good.

500
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 3: That's pretty good. Yeah, it's pretty good. They've had. Didn't

501
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 3: they have post Malone do it one year for them?

502
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 2: Could be?

503
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 5: I don't.

504
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's you got too many teams.

505
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 7: USA Today put out and they ranked everybody's schedule release.

506
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 4: Oh god, were we okay?

507
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 3: I just want to be at least considered okay?

508
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 5: Oh we were more than okay. However, we finished at

509
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 5: number seven.

510
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 4: Solid Top verytile.

511
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 7: Cartoon Wrestling Means Shenanigans and the Miz and Nathan Sucker

512
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 7: with a g u r A delivered fantastic digs on commentary,

513
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 7: the great, fantastic, well done.

514
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 2: US, Ronnie Dangerfield. By the way, the Miz, some.

515
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 7: Of all the Squealers were in front of us.

516
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 2: I didn't even see what they did.

517
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 7: I didn't see it. The Lions were in front of us,

518
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 7: and I never understood. I didn't like theirs. The Falcons, Titans,

519
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 7: and Chargers were in front of us.

520
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 2: Chargers is a cheat code though, with that anime stuff,

521
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 2: I mean, that's I felt.

522
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 7: Just running it back again. Everybody's like, oh, look, how cool,

523
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 7: and I'm like, you ran it back.

524
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 2: Though, Yeah, it wasn't an original thought. By the way,

525
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 2: just as an update for you on the Miz, not

526
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 2: only was he on with us in the process of

527
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 2: shooting a sixty two, he's also quote he's quote tweeting

528
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 2: his his a Pictionary show he's on. So he's like

529
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 2: quadruple tasking right.

530
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 3: Now, guys, see something. He's prolific.

531
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 5: He really is.

532
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, he definitely is.

533
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 5: Yeah.

534
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 2: So it was fun. Ours was fun that there was

535
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 2: a lot of fun ones around the league. You're right,

536
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 2: it's become a big big deal around the league and

537
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 2: especially for those in house media teams as those things

538
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 2: go go viral, so that that's part of it. And

539
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 2: I think for you know, for the average fan who's

540
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 2: you know, who's not on Twitter, not seeing the social

541
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 2: you want to play the schedule game is what you

542
00:23:58,600 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 2: want to do. You want to see where you're ends

543
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 2: in theses are. You want to see where your road

544
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 2: games are. You want to see you know, what's a

545
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 2: tough stretch. You know we started last year when you know,

546
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 2: we were trying to figure out what the suspension would

547
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 2: be on to Sean and saying like, well, what do

548
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 2: we got to be through these first four? What do

549
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 2: you got to be through these first six? What's the number?

550
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 2: And when you didn't achieve those then it it became

551
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 2: kind of a lost season. And I think that's the

552
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 2: thing when you look at this schedule this year. We'll

553
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 2: do that coming up next. When you look at this

554
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 2: schedule and you say, this is a jumping face first

555
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 2: into the water situation, and it's it's a tough stretch

556
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 2: for sure to start, but I guess we can finish

557
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 2: with the wrestling motif to be the man, you got

558
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 2: to beat the man. And Cincinnati's comes first and they've

559
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 2: owned the division, so we'll get into that. We'll get

560
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 2: into the schedule. We'll go over at game by game,

561
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 2: get a feel for where we sit from a record

562
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 2: standpoint of what we think it could be. We'll get

563
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 2: into all of that. Lots of fun on the program today.

564
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 2: We're often running Cleveland Browns Daily eight fifty esp and.

571
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 2: as we kind of go through this, what's that word tronsch?

572
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 2: I used to love when you when we had.

573
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 3: The trons break it up as some tronches, some tronches.

574
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:42,439
Speaker 2: I like that a lot. So the first four, I

575
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 2: mean it starts there, right, It's it starts with three

576
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 2: out of your first four division games, three out of

577
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 2: your first four are at home. It's a it's a

578
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 2: full day right out of the gates. Bengals to start

579
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 2: at Pittsburgh for Monday Night football. Then Tennessee here week three,

580
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 2: and then Baltimore here in week four before the bye week.

581
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 2: See what do you making that for?

582
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 4: It look like I said, you want to be a

583
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 4: good team. You want to be a relevant team, you

584
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 4: want to be a playoff team. You want to be

585
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 4: somebody of importance inside of the NFC.

586
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 3: North, in the AFC North.

587
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Then you need to win two of those

588
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 4: three division games. I think it's that simple. You win

589
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 4: two of those three division games and you beat the Titans,

590
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 4: you're three and one. You win two of those division games,

591
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 4: you lose the Titans, you're two and two, but you're

592
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 4: still in the mix because you went two and one

593
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 4: in the division. I just think it's critical that you

594
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:33,719
Speaker 4: go two and one in the division there. I think

595
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 4: it is massive. I think you know you want to

596
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 4: split the two home games, and I think you got

597
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 4: to go into Pittsburgh and you gotta beat the Steelers.

598
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 4: And I feel like we should, we should be able

599
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 4: to do that. We just have to go ahead and

600
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 4: do that. And so for me, this is what you want, right.

601
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 4: You want to come out and you want to start hot.

602
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 4: This is not last year's start where you had you know,

603
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 4: the Jets and the Panthers and the Falcons and three

604
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 4: or four first games. Now we didn't capitalize on that.

605
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 4: We ended up two and two after those four because

606
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 4: of what happened against the Jets. But this is an

607
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 4: opportunity to get right into it and to get it done.

608
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 4: And if you can't, that's a problem. This roster, I

609
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 4: think is too good not to be a team of consequence.

610
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 4: And so you look, the AFC is loaded. There aren't

611
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 4: gonna be a ton of these little cupcake games. So

612
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 4: you've got to go out there and you've got to

613
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 4: be able to take care of your business.

614
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 3: And if you know, Joe Burrow has not.

615
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 4: Won a game at First Energy now Cleveland brown Stadium,

616
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 4: So hold your home field. You get the Ravens and

617
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 4: you get the Bengals at home in the first quarter

618
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 4: of the season. The Bengals are gonna have a lot

619
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 4: of new pieces on the back end of their defense

620
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 4: that I think that you can challenge. I mean the Bengals,

621
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, the Ravens themselves putting in a new offense.

622
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 4: What does that look like? And we'll at least have

623
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 4: some tape on that. But I think we have an opportunity,

624
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 4: and you know, the Bengals aren't really gonna have I

625
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 4: think offensively, not as much tape on what we're going

626
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 4: to do. I think defensively, there are gonna be playing

627
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 4: of similarities and we should do a lot of the

628
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 4: things we've done against the angles.

629
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 3: We've played the Bengals. Well.

630
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, our defense has played the Bengals very very well.

631
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 4: So keep that going. But if you want to be good,

632
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 4: you got to you gotta take care of business. You

633
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 4: come out of there three and one. I think you're

634
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:14,959
Speaker 4: in a great spot. I really do. I think that

635
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 4: you're You're well on the way.

636
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 2: The number right now on the from an over under

637
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 2: wind total is nine is the one that I'm seeing consistently.

638
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 2: To me, if you're gonna go over that, then you

639
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 2: have to go three and one. In that stretch, it

640
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 2: just feels you feel like you split your conference games

641
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 2: or your divisional games. And then there are some like

642
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 2: gimmes like that that have to be gimmes, like Tennessee

643
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 2: has to be a gimmey, Arizona's got to be a gimmey.

644
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 2: The Rams, the Colts, those have got to be the Houston,

645
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 2: like you play, you play Texans. Now, they're not gonna act.

646
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 2: They're not gonna certainly be tanking or anything like that.

647
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 2: They probably won't do that in a variable anyway. But

648
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 2: they're not gonna be acting like that week three. So

649
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 2: you're gonna get their best shot week three. I wish

650
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 2: we got them a little bit later. But the Colts, Arizon, Houston,

651
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 2: all of those have to be dubs. They have it

652
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 2: can be. There's no option because the division is as

653
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 2: brutal as it is. So you have the bye week

654
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 2: in week five, you're next four San Francisco here, at Indy,

655
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 2: at Seattle, and then Arizona here on November fifth.

656
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, there are You're right, there are definitely some winnable

657
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 4: games in there. I was just kind of looking through

658
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 4: real quickly. So for Stefanski, in his first year, we

659
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 4: beat the Bengals and the Steelers at home. We lost

660
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 4: to the Ravens at home, just as in the division.

661
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 4: So that's two and one.

662
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 2: Think twenty two.

663
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 4: I think that's I think you're right, twenty twell, twenty

664
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 4: two at home in the division. The second year you

665
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 4: beat or nine, you lose to the Steelers at home,

666
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 4: you beat the Ravens at home, you beat the Bengals

667
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 4: at home. So now we're four and two. There's got

668
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 4: to be nine, so I think maybe we're six and three.

669
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 4: And then last year you beat the Bengals at home.

670
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 4: Last year you went three and oh, so seven and

671
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 4: two at home in the division. Last year you beat

672
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 4: the Steelers at home on Thursday night twenty nine to seventeen.

673
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 4: You beat the Bengals thirty two thirteen. On Monday night,

674
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 4: you beat the Ravens thirteen to three. So seven and

675
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 4: two at home in the division. You gotta keep That's

676
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 4: gotta you hold that. And I feel like you're in

677
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 4: a good spot. You're in a good spot here. You're

678
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 4: in a good spot. But you're right. There are definitely

679
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 4: games on this schedule that feel good. But if we

680
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 4: break it up into tranches, so it takes up first, you.

681
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 2: Go, if you go three and one in the first one,

682
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 2: and you go like in the next one, you're gonna

683
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 2: be favored probably in two, if for sure two and

684
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 2: probably underdog and two. Depending what San Francisco looks like early,

685
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 2: you'll be favored. Oh you are in the car, Yeah.

686
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 4: You might be favored in Seattle, depending on how the

687
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:48,479
Speaker 4: season goes yes, and I think we'll be favored over

688
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 4: the Niners at home or it'll be a.

689
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,479
Speaker 2: Pick, depends on how they look in how we look.

690
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 4: I mean, it's close till I give me, just gave

691
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 4: me a look through the thing. We don't even if

692
00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 4: if Sam Darnold's their quarterback, even brock perty or who knows.

693
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 4: We're two and a half point underdogs to the Bengals

694
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 4: in Week one, So I mean it's if we're three

695
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 4: and one coming off of our bye week to face

696
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 4: the nine Ers, it's very likely to me that we

697
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 4: would be favored. I don't think that's a big spread

698
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 4: either way, but we could be favored there. You have

699
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 4: to just three and one or two and two to

700
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 4: me through your through your here's the ends there is.

701
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 4: You've got to be five and three three. Yes, it's

702
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 4: five and three through eight. However you get there, whoever

703
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,239
Speaker 4: you skin that cat. That's the minimum requirement. Because the

704
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 4: next one it's at Baltimore. That's a tough that'll be tough.

705
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh at home should be a win.

706
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 2: At Denver could go any which way, but loose I

707
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 2: have I have no idea what Denver could be. They

708
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 2: certainly have the talent to be a lot better.

709
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 4: And it's even let's say you go one and two there,

710
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 4: let's say worst kissing there, you go.

711
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 2: One, take it all the way to the fourth, and

712
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 2: then you get.

713
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 4: Six and five, two and two. Then you win that one,

714
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 4: seven and five.

715
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 2: So you're seven and five at that point.

716
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 3: Jags, Bears, Texans.

717
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 4: You got to win two of those, So now you're

718
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 4: at nine and six, and then you got to find

719
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 4: a win, you know with the Jets are the Bengals.

720
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 3: But that's assuming that we lose games that we want.

721
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 4: I think I feel like our bottom scenario is eight

722
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 4: and nine, and I feel like our top scenario is

723
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 4: twelve and five.

724
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 8: Like.

725
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 4: The thing that we haven't done really a lot of

726
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 4: in recent years is win games where people were like, oh, yeah,

727
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 4: that's a loss. Those just end up being losses. And

728
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 4: what we've done and the reason we haven't been as

729
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 4: successful is we'd like is games that we have said,

730
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 4: oh that's automatic, like the Bears at home, we end

731
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 4: up losing that.

732
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 3: Game somehow, right, Yeah, but we can beat.

733
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 2: There is an ad like that's the Patriots game last

734
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 2: year with Bailey ZAPPI.

735
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, like we could beat we we could go from

736
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 4: week thirteen, Week thirteen to week sixteen, those four we

737
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 4: could go four to oh rams, jags or sections.

738
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 2: That's the easiest stretch. That four game stretch is the

739
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 2: easiest stretch on the sketch.

740
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, and who knows what Denver is at that point.

741
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 4: But you know, if you win, if you win the game,

742
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 4: let's call it week eleven, you beat the Steelers at home,

743
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:02,719
Speaker 4: you have a chance, I think, to win, you know,

744
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 4: basically five out of six or six in a row.

745
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 3: But that's where we're gonna have to be.

746
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 4: We've got to survive the first eight and then we've

747
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 4: got to make our move leading up to the final two,

748
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 4: knowing that those are probably gonna be tough. The Jets

749
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 4: here on a Thursday night and then Cincinnati day.

750
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 2: Night December twenty eighth.

751
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 3: It is brutal.

752
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 4: The one thing I would say that makes it good.

753
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 4: The only thing that's helpful about that is it's a

754
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 4: quick turnaround for everybody. And then you've got you have

755
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 4: that mini buy going into what could be a game

756
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 4: for the AFC North. What going is going into what

757
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 4: could be a playoff game we could have the benefit

758
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 4: of coming you know, ten days to get ready for

759
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 4: that Bengals game. Yeah, you have to handle your business though,

760
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 4: leading up from from Thanksgiving before the week the week

761
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 4: before Thanksgiving the Steelers game through Christmas, you have got

762
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 4: to handle your business. And if you handle your business

763
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 4: next strench, we will be a team of con sequence

764
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 4: period at six games.

765
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 2: That's the Steelers here, it's at Denver, at the Rams,

766
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 2: Jaguars here, Bears here at Texans. That six game stretch

767
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 2: has got to me, it's got to be like a

768
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 2: five and one five and one, yeah, yeah, in that

769
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 2: in that swing. And I think that the I think

770
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 2: that this is a difficult schedule. Obviously, you get no

771
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,439
Speaker 2: favors by the fact that the other fourth place team

772
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 2: in the AFC, in the AFC East that you're matched

773
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 2: up with is the Jets, and they added Aaron Rodgers.

774
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 2: Like you'd much rather play Baltimore, which is I'm I'm

775
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 2: sorry about Baltimore, New England.

776
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 4: As long as they don't do what they did to

777
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 4: us last year.

778
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 2: Still, yeah, I mean I understand, like you get the point,

779
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 2: like you'd much rather play that operation than than an

780
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,879
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers Jets operation. So that you get a little

781
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,359
Speaker 2: bit of bad look there, but there are there are

782
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 2: a bunch of of just what should be check box

783
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 2: win games. I don't know how many teams in the league,

784
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 2: like we think about you're playing you're playing two of

785
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 2: the You're playing the and the Texans, and the and

786
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 2: the Cardinals like that. They're in the bottom four teams.

787
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 5: In the league.

788
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 2: All three of those teams. So that's those all three

789
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 2: should be guaranteed wins. Now, historically they haven't been. I'm

790
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 2: not convinced the Bears are gonna be world beaters. I

791
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 2: think they'll be dangerous, but I still think they're early

792
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 2: on in their gestation. Who knows what the Rams are

793
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 2: gonna be by week thirteen, right, I mean, those guys

794
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 2: might not even be there.

795
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 3: I think, yes, this is you gotta handle your business.

796
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 2: This is this is a ten and seven to me.

797
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 2: Like that to me feels like minimum.

798
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 4: I like that, And I look, you want to be

799
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 4: a real team. You've got to be able to beat

800
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:40,919
Speaker 4: the Jags at home. The Jags are gonna be good,

801
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 4: but you've got to be able to beat them. You've

802
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 4: got to be able to beat the Ravens. You've got

803
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 4: to be able to beat the Bengals. You've got to

804
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 4: be able to beat the Steelers. You know, I'd love

805
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:48,919
Speaker 4: to go out there and sweep the Steelers this year.

806
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,399
Speaker 4: That would be phenomenal. But the way that it's set

807
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 4: up is that we've got to come out in our

808
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 4: division and make a statement early. You want to be

809
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:57,720
Speaker 4: that kind of a team, you want to be talked

810
00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 4: about that way, You've got to go do it. And

811
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 4: you get every opportunity the way this schedule is laid

812
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 4: out to do that. To finish and the opening quarter,

813
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 4: the opening trunch of your schedule, prior to the bye week,

814
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,479
Speaker 4: you have an opportunity to say we've held home court

815
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 4: against both the Bengals and the Ravens, and if you

816
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 4: could go on the road and beat the Steelers, which

817
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 4: absolutely we can. We've done it before in the playoffs

818
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 4: and the most important environment. You know, last year we

819
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 4: didn't get it done at the end of the season.

820
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 4: Last year would have been great. But I think we're

821
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 4: gonna be a completely different football team.

822
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 3: You have a chance to be four. No, but you.

823
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 4: It starts with week one. I think that that is

824
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 4: a huge tone center of the game. Yeah, and you know,

825
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 4: you think about you know, twenty twenty, you go on

826
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 4: that nice run. You think about twenty twenty one. You

827
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 4: started that season in Kansas City. I want to say

828
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 4: was week one of twenty twenty one. We played them tough.

829
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 4: It looked like we had it all going for us.

830
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 4: It doesn't work out, and then you know it's not

831
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 4: enough to be close and to look good. I don't

832
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 4: think no, because that doesn't carry anything. This is about

833
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 4: wins and losses, and so you've got to come out.

834
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 4: You've got to win. And I think there there is.

835
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 4: The schedule makers could have given us a couple of

836
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 4: cupcakes out of the first four. They said, no, you

837
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 4: get one relatively easy game, which is Tennessee, which they're

838
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 4: going to play hard, but that they're going to make

839
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 4: you work and they're gonna be well coached, and we'll

840
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 4: see if at that point, you know, maybe they just

841
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 4: decide to say, you know what, we're shipping Tannehill off somewhere,

842
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,959
Speaker 4: we're going with Levis or if it's not, it's gonna

843
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,879
Speaker 4: be Tannehill, and it's gonna be Derrick Henry and it's

844
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 4: going to be a good defense, and it's going to

845
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 4: be a full day's work against a quality team that

846
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 4: came in here to start the twenty nineteen season when

847
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 4: we were, oh, we'll take care of the Titans and

848
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 4: beat us.

849
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, if this makes sense, I think like I

850
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,479
Speaker 2: could see, you know, like on the on the worst worst,

851
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 2: worst case nine to eight and at the very but

852
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 2: also I think it's a very thin margin in terms

853
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 2: of that. I think the floor is relatively high, and

854
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 2: then I think the floor is a winning record, and

855
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 2: I think that the ceiling is all so relatively low

856
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 2: juxtaposed to that floor. Uh So, what I mean by

857
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,760
Speaker 2: that is like it's I think eleven and six feels

858
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,919
Speaker 2: like the top of it, the top of the heap,

859
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 2: maybe twelve and five. But man, well for anybody. But

860
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 2: I mean the reality is is you are playing our

861
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 2: division is a full blanket day. And the fact that

862
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:26,320
Speaker 2: the cross schedule stuff with the divisions, you know, like Denver,

863
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 2: we anticipate being much improved, the Jets, you anticipate being

864
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 2: much improved.

865
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 3: They don't do.

866
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 2: You don't get any favors there with the last place

867
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 2: schedule or the fourth place in the division scheduling.

868
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 4: No, that's why it would have been important to maybe

869
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 4: to win at the end of the year and and

870
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 4: get that third place. Because third place, instead of the

871
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 4: Jets and the Broncos, you get the Raiders and the Patriots.

872
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's so that's Pittsburgh. Yeah, Or is that Baltimore.

873
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,399
Speaker 3: It's Pittsburgh or Baltimore. I don't know. I didn't look

874
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 3: at their schedules. It's one of those two. It's not

875
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 3: the Bengals, I know that.

876
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 2: No, it's definitely not that. I think it's Well, the

877
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 2: didn't they. I think it's Pittsburgh. It's Pittsburgh because the

878
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 2: Ravens made the.

879
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 4: Playoffs, right, Yeah, so it's Pittsburgh and played the Bengals

880
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 4: in the first round of the playoffs.

881
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 3: If I'm not mistaken, so Pittsburgh.

882
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 2: I'm guessing I would think that Pittsburgh, who I think

883
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 2: is the worst team talent wise in the division, might

884
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 2: play the easiest schedule in the division.

885
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, because of their their matchups. I don't know who

886
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 4: they get. When we get the When we got the Bears,

887
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 4: they that was probably a tougher one for them. They

888
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 4: got the Packers probably right, or the Lions.

889
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 3: Packers the Lions.

890
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, all right, I'm pulling I'm pulling up Pittsburgh's

891
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 2: right now. So Pittsburgh's just for comparison's sake. Pittsburgh goes

892
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 2: San Francisco at home, US at Home, at Vegas at Houston,

893
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 2: Baltimore at Rammitt Jacksonville, Tennessee, Green Bay at US at Cincinnati,

894
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 2: Arizona at home, New England at home. So there's the swap.

895
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 2: They got. They got. They got Green Bay, New England.

896
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 4: And Green Bay, New Englands, the Raiders, green Bay, New England, Vegas.

897
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 2: We got Bears, Broncos, Jets.

898
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 4: Jets is obviously the toughest of the six, sure, but

899
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 4: it feels fair. I mean, I think that the you'd

900
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 4: rather play the Bears and the Packers even with no

901
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers.

902
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree. A couple other things I want

903
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 2: to get to on this in terms of the big picture,

904
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 2: some of the things that happened around the league from

905
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 2: a scheduling standpoint, the primetime situation. We'll get into that

906
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,719

920
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 2: over some numbers with you. How about this? The Kansas

921
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 2: City Chiefs have one game at one o'clock.

922
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:40,840
Speaker 5: That's it.

923
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 2: That's the list. Everything else is either America's Game of

924
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 2: the Week, a West Coast game, or primetime. They had

925
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 2: six primetimers. They are tied with Buffalo Dallas and the

926
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 2: Chargers as a six primetime team. I think the Chargers

927
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 2: part of this is so fascinating from the standpoint of

928
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,720
Speaker 2: it is because they were this last year. It feels

929
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 2: like the people running networks are just gonna make damn

930
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 2: sure that a team from LA gets a lot of

931
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 2: primetime windows. Yeah, because there isn't a fan base for

932
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 2: the Chargers. They got great uniforms and an awesome young quarterback,

933
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 2: but there's no fan base. It's not a ratings driver.

934
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:24,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, that I don't.

935
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 4: I mean they've done I feel like they've done a

936
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 4: good job on on TV.

937
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 3: I don't know. I like the Charges. You I know

938
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 3: you do about it?

939
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 2: No, I know, but they're not. I have like, how

940
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 2: do they have more primetime games than San Francisco?

941
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 4: Well, they're one of there's only four teams, so I

942
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 4: gotta did you see the graphic words it gives like

943
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 4: the number and then how how many teams have that game?

944
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:47,479
Speaker 2: Yeah? I have it pulled up right here. So there's

945
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 2: four teams that have six Kansas City, the Chargers, Buffalo,

946
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 2: and Dallas. I don't think the Chargers deserve to be

947
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 2: in that group based on what they have been on

948
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 2: the field and based on the fan base. There's the no,

949
00:42:58,160 --> 00:42:59,919
Speaker 2: there isn't There isn't a fan base, and there isn't

950
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:01,399
Speaker 2: that they're not delivering on the field.

951
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:02,439
Speaker 5: Watch.

952
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 2: I understand that. But again, all right, so Cincinnati, so

953
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 2: in terms of the ego should be yes, of course,

954
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 2: here's the one. Here's the group with five Giants and Jets. Okay,

955
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 2: big markets. I get Green Bay, Minnesota huge fan bases,

956
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 2: but still.

957
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 5: Grease.

958
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 2: They have fan bases though, and Vegas, and Vegas has

959
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 2: a huge fan base, and then Philly and San Francisco.

960
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 2: But I agree, I don't think. I don't think that

961
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 2: Vegas should be in that group. I don't think Minnesota

962
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:36,399
Speaker 2: is group no, nor should Green Bay. I just think

963
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:37,879
Speaker 2: that's just time tested, right.

964
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:40,320
Speaker 4: The Bengals should be in the five group.

965
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, Baltimore, Baltimore, you can put in the five group. Yeah.

966
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 2: So here's the four group is Detroit, Chicago, Denver, Baltimore, Cincinnati,

967
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 2: New England, and Pittsburgh.

968
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 5: Yep.

969
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 2: So it's still a big bet on the Bengals or

970
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 2: on the Patriots brand. It's what they're betting on there

971
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 2: because they are no fun to watch whatsoever. Teams with

972
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:07,359
Speaker 2: three include New Orleans, Seattle, Jacksonville, and Miami have two.

973
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 4: Jacksonville Miami should have more. The Seahawks, I bet by

974
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 4: the end of the year people say they should have

975
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 4: had more. I don't understand the Saints being there.

976
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you're getting down to low numbers though,

977
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 2: and so that gets us to two. The teams with

978
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:23,720
Speaker 2: two are Tampa Bay, Tennessee, Carolina, Just Rammitt, and US

979
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 2: just Game.

980
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 4: We know why we are there. We don't belong there.

981
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 2: No, no, not at all, because not only do you rate,

982
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,320
Speaker 2: we do, yes, so you rate. There's a huge following.

983
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 2: You're a good team, You've been a good team, competitive

984
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 2: team in the last few years. You have one of

985
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 2: the funnest quarterbacks when he's at his best, that you

986
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 2: can watch in the league. And again, you're right, you

987
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 2: know why you're there. But it's it's I did not

988
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 2: think we would only have two. I thought it would

989
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,800
Speaker 2: be more than that. And I'm surprised that we're lumped

990
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 2: in with the likes of the Buccaneers, the Titans, Carolina

991
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 2: and the Rams. I am a little bit surprised with that.

992
00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 2: I think the Rams could get more. The Rams are

993
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 2: real wild card thing. I don't know what they I

994
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 2: think their choices they make this summer will be fascinating.

995
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 2: Washington just had one and then Houston, Atlanta, Arizona and

996
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:09,720
Speaker 2: Indy have none.

997
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 7: How about this from Ari Murov, guy that retweets a

998
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 7: lot of NFL news Mike North, who kind of Chicago

999
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 7: the radio and TV deals, and I meet with him

1000
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:32,280
Speaker 7: more so than maybe most people in the football season.

1001
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 2: Oh, I think you're talking about like Mike North, the

1002
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 2: Chicago radio guy sports. No, no, no, no no.

1003
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 7: Mike North is in the league office with the League office,

1004
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 7: and he is one of the head guys on the

1005
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:50,240
Speaker 7: schedule committee. Mike North said today that the Bengals volunteered

1006
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 7: to play on Black Friday every year and essentially make

1007
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 7: it a tradition like Dallas and Detroit have on Thanksgiving.

1008
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 7: The league considered it, and they considered putting Steelers Bengals

1009
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 7: on but ultimately chose Jets Dolphins. Amazon mentioned to the

1010
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 7: league that New York is the number one retail market

1011
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,840
Speaker 7: in America, so having the first Black Friday game in

1012
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 7: New York would be a cool concept.

1013
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:16,760
Speaker 2: I think that's I think Amazon's pushing.

1014
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 4: They're pushing for everything. But couldn't they Where do the

1015
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:22,879
Speaker 4: Bengals play the Jets? Do they play the Jets?

1016
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 8: In you?

1017
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 5: They don't?

1018
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:25,439
Speaker 3: They have the Jets at home?

1019
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 2: No, they don't play the Jets.

1020
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 5: Oh right, the Bengal Jets.

1021
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 4: We picked up the Jets, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, Sorry,

1022
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 4: my ben, we didn't play.

1023
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 3: We don't play the AFCs.

1024
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 4: How about just when you were going through the list,

1025
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 4: like to put to me, it's funny because we make

1026
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 4: We've been making so many jokes about the Falcons. Yeah,

1027
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 4: not being serious. The NFL doesn't think they're serious. They

1028
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 4: don't want that brand of football in primetime. No, this

1029
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 4: is twenty twenty three zero, and they have a chance

1030
00:46:54,719 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 4: to win their division. Honestly, sure not to do anything

1031
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 4: on that, but.

1032
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 2: Hey, yeah, I think that. I mean, it's to me,

1033
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 2: everything makes sense except where we are and where the

1034
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,719
Speaker 2: Chargers are. Everything else. I mean, I guess there's a

1035
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,720
Speaker 2: couple in the five that they're banking on. A Raiders brand,

1036
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:19,359
Speaker 2: a Vikings brand, and a Packers brand. You know that

1037
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 2: those teams all have pretty big followings. The Raiders have

1038
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 2: a big, big following, sort of the Packers. But we

1039
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 2: should we should have been more in the four range.

1040
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 2: I think Cincinnati should have.

1041
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 5: Been moved up.

1042
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,840
Speaker 2: Listen, Cincinnati should have been moved up for sure to

1043
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 2: the five.

1044
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 4: Of course, you we all know why we have two

1045
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 4: games the league. It's it's we all know why. So

1046
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:41,439
Speaker 4: we're going to have to look at quarterback rankings, lists,

1047
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:44,799
Speaker 4: look at everything. It's like we don't exist, so we

1048
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 4: need to That's why I said, you want to be serious.

1049
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 3: You want to be taken seriously.

1050
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 4: You don't want to be thrown into the you know,

1051
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 4: thrown asunder, thrown aside. You need to go out and

1052
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 4: beat these teams. And we have every opportunity to do that.

1053
00:47:57,760 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 4: You have a chance on Monday Night football to go

1054
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 4: into Pittsburgh week two, hopefully after coming off of beating

1055
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 4: the Bengals, and make a real statement and like, you

1056
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 4: can't ignore us. We beat the Bengals, and we beat

1057
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:08,880
Speaker 4: the Steelers week two on Monday Night Football. Yeah, we

1058
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 4: cannot be ignored anymore.

1059
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 2: There's a lot is made us. There's a lot made

1060
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 2: around here about Cleveland against the world, Ohio against the world,

1061
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:18,840
Speaker 2: and I think a lot of it's largely silly, to

1062
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 2: be honest, but I really think that we are on

1063
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 2: an island here this season, like Brown's fans are on

1064
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 2: an island. You're not gonna get to your point. Everybody

1065
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:34,240
Speaker 2: knows why. Your point is well well made and accurate.

1066
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 2: When it comes to quarterback rankings. When it comes to

1067
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 2: team rankings, nobody wants to talk about us. Nobody wants

1068
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 2: to show us that's proved by what happened here from

1069
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:44,399
Speaker 2: a network because the Brown's rate, like that's a fact. Yes,

1070
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 2: Brown's rate the way that the Packers rate similarly to

1071
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:51,239
Speaker 2: the Steelers, the Raiders. They are just below Dallas in

1072
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:55,799
Speaker 2: terms of like rating interest, very similar to Buffalo and

1073
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 2: some of the other ones that have big fan bases

1074
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 2: all over the country. So they make this decision to

1075
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:03,759
Speaker 2: not put us in prime time, and I think you could.

1076
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 2: I think this organization as an opportunity to, for better

1077
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 2: or worse, really go into with a legitimate chip on

1078
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 2: the shoulder in terms of the way it's perceived, and

1079
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 2: I think you can use it to your advantage.

1080
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And there's no talking, that's the thing.

1081
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 4: No, this is the hardest and look, this will be

1082
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 4: my eleventh season with this team. In some ways, this

1083
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:25,360
Speaker 4: is the hardest offseason. Last year was for other reasons.

1084
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 4: But I'm talking pure football standpoint is because we can

1085
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 4: talk about it, and that's great. This season is all

1086
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 4: about the doing period. We have the talent, we've got

1087
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 4: the quarterback, we've got the coaching staff in place. We've

1088
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:42,759
Speaker 4: got to go do it. And the league saying prove

1089
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 4: it right out of the gate.

1090
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 3: That's what the league is said. Yeah, that's it.

1091
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's where you're at. So just just deal with

1092
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 2: it and be a serious football team. And that's the

1093
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 2: way it goes. There's a new way to cheer in

1094

00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:14,360
Speaker 2: Mini Camp and is underway. I saw Emmett quote tweeting

1117
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:17,440
Speaker 2: a image of Bryce Young taking his first snaps in

1118
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 2: Carolina and he said, it looks like a freshman taking

1119
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:22,840
Speaker 2: reps behind the varsity offensive line. You don't realize like

1120
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 2: how slight he is until you see him again up

1121
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 2: in six six, three hundred pounders and he realizes five ten,

1122
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 2: one seventy five or whatever he is. So it is

1123
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 2: that that day around the league today Rookie Mini camp

1124
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 2: for us. The way that this will go. It's day

1125
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:42,880
Speaker 2: one of Rookie Mini Camp at the CCMC Rookie selects

1126
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,960
Speaker 2: second year guys take the field right now. They're doing

1127
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:49,320
Speaker 2: it right now. We have signed Siaki Eka Isaah Maguire,

1128
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 2: Dorian Thompson, Robinson, cam Mitchell, Luke Whippler, the five selections,

1129
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:56,120
Speaker 2: the first of the club's seven draft picks to sign.

1130
00:51:56,200 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 2: We've also signed nine undrafted free agent so that and

1131
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:02,360
Speaker 2: you'll hear from one of those guys, Ronnie Hickman, the

1132
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 2: former Buckeye safety here in about ten minutes or so.

1133
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 2: This is an exciting time and for some of these guys.

1134
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:10,839
Speaker 2: I mean I talk about this with Ronnie in terms

1135
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 2: of with special teams and finding a way to get

1136
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 2: on the roster and make that first impression. It's critical.

1137
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:17,760
Speaker 3: It is critical.

1138
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 4: This is a roster that is pretty complete, and we've

1139
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 4: talked so much about this rookie class and just the

1140
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:28,480
Speaker 4: draft picks alone. You know, Luke Whipler fighting for a

1141
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 4: backup spot and maybe to be the center of the future.

1142
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 4: You look at Dewan Jones is fighting. I think he

1143
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,279
Speaker 4: will make the roster, but he certainly has to prove

1144
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 4: that and show with his commitment and everything that they

1145
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 4: want to see out of him. But he's he's trying

1146
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,920
Speaker 4: to position himself to be a tackle of the future

1147
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,320
Speaker 4: and perhaps of the present if there is an injury.

1148
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:49,399
Speaker 3: Siaki Eco.

1149
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 4: We've talked about it probably has the best chance of

1150
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 4: contributing significantly right away. And then you can't say that

1151
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 4: Cedria Tillman wouldn't either. You go further down, get drafts

1152
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 4: to don't you think he needs to? He's one that

1153
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 4: needs to. Tillman becoming a star would be a wonderful

1154
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 4: luxury and a great thing for the Browns obviously, But

1155
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:08,440
Speaker 4: because the guy that I think you're counting on out

1156
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 4: of this rookie class to play the most of anybody,

1157
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:13,319
Speaker 4: Dorian Thompson Robinson, is here to compete to try to

1158
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:15,840
Speaker 4: be the long the third quarterback this year and the

1159
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 4: long term backup behind Deshaun Watson. You know, the corner

1160
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 4: out of Northwestern is looking to be the sixth corner

1161
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 4: right or the fifth corner on this team and make

1162
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 4: the team for his special teams prowess and his ability

1163
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,240
Speaker 4: to play in the slot and outside, but as a backup.

1164
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 4: So and then you've got undrafted free agents and the

1165
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:35,400
Speaker 4: Browns announcing you know that they had signed some and

1166
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 4: I think the name that a lot of us are

1167
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 4: drawn to, Ronnie Hickman, who you're going to talk about

1168
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 4: talk with in just a few moments out of Ohio State,

1169
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 4: his teammate Tanner McCallister, also out of Ohio State, and

1170
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 4: then I think you're looking at perhaps Hassan Hall, the

1171
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 4: running back out of Georgia Tech. You know, those were

1172
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 4: the two positions we talked about the most in the

1173
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:56,239
Speaker 4: draft that weren't addressed safety running back, and so you'd say,

1174
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 4: if an undrafted could make it, you know, that's where

1175
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:01,279
Speaker 4: it's going to be. But it's still a long way

1176
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:03,839
Speaker 4: to go. In the case of Hickman, now you've got

1177
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:05,799
Speaker 4: to beat out of d Anthony Bell, who was on

1178
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 4: this roster last year and who made it, or mccawister.

1179
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 4: And then at the running back position for Hassan Hall,

1180
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:13,360
Speaker 4: you know, you're trying to say you don't need to

1181
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 4: bring in a veteran that Nick Chubb, Jerome Ford and

1182
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 4: I can handle this. I can give you what you

1183
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 4: know a Dontrell Hilliard gave you. I can give you

1184
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 4: what dearanis Johnson was giving you. And the question will

1185
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 4: be can they prove that they can do that? But

1186
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 4: I think these are critical times. Then Isaiah maguire is

1187
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:30,759
Speaker 4: obviously competing to get into that rotation and to play

1188
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 4: in some of those subpackaged situations. So Ika's the one

1189
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,479
Speaker 4: that you're expecting the most out of in twenty twenty three.

1190
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 4: But for all these guys, you're fighting to cement yourself

1191
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:41,360
Speaker 4: in a rotation somehow this year. But also, you know,

1192
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:44,399
Speaker 4: to be a building block when we have to make

1193
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:48,799
Speaker 4: more difficult roster decisions due to financial constraints of you know,

1194
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 4: paying a franchise quarterback.

1195
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:53,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean in talking with Hickman, you know,

1196
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:55,440
Speaker 2: like the road for a guy like that, and it

1197
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:58,839
Speaker 2: was something that I mean, he did this at Ohio State.

1198
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 2: They put all a lot of their best players play special team.

1199
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 2: So he played a lot of special teams at Ohio State.

1200
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 2: And that's the roadmap man is to find that to

1201
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 2: be elite at that, get to know bubbavent trone, figure

1202
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 2: out what he wants, and then go and try to

1203
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 2: make a little bit of an impec there. I'm excited

1204
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:17,840
Speaker 2: to see obviously the skill guys is what's going to

1205
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:19,399
Speaker 2: pop in this type of thing, just to see how

1206
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 2: they move I love that you brought up Assan Haul

1207
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 2: the running back out of Georgia Tech.

1208
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 5: Does it?

1209
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:26,400
Speaker 2: What's his juice look like? What's his movement look like?

1210
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 2: Tillman is a fascinating one. And then the fact that

1211
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:31,880
Speaker 2: we did draft a quarterback gives you a little bit

1212
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:34,719
Speaker 2: of juice too, because it's a guy who's well known,

1213
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 2: who's a college star, beat LSU in a game a

1214
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 2: couple of years ago out in the Rose Bowl, and

1215
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 2: was at one point kind of like a Heisman dark

1216
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:46,440
Speaker 2: horse guy. So he's one of those guys that it's

1217
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:48,359
Speaker 2: going to be fun to watch. And it's been a

1218
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:51,400
Speaker 2: while since we've drafted a quarterback with the intent of

1219
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:54,879
Speaker 2: developing him over a long period. Usually when we draft

1220
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:56,920
Speaker 2: a quarterback around here in the last twenty years, it's

1221
00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:59,319
Speaker 2: been to be the franchise quarterback. That's not the case here.

1222
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 2: We have that already. You're going to draft somebody who

1223
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 2: can eventually be on your roster, hopefully as the backup

1224
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 2: or becomes an asset that you can then use to

1225
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 2: get other things in return. So there's a big upside

1226
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:13,719
Speaker 2: to Dorian Thompson Robinson huge And.

1227
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 4: The fact of the matter is we're gonna need a

1228
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:18,880
Speaker 4: backup quarterback on a rookie contract for the next three years,

1229
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 4: so you want it to be dtr that's why you

1230
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 4: drafted him. I got a chance to interview him before

1231
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:27,320
Speaker 4: the show today for about ten minutes and got to

1232
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:28,759
Speaker 4: spend even a little bit more time with him than

1233
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 4: that awesome kid, awesome, great presence, very impressive leader. I

1234
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 4: didn't realize he was so close with Dwayne Haskins.

1235
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 3: I don't know if.

1236
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:39,759
Speaker 4: You knew that, but no, I did not know that

1237
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 4: really close with Dwayne Haskins. So he has on his

1238
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:44,719
Speaker 4: his forum he designed every tattoo on his body, he

1239
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:47,239
Speaker 4: designed himself. He's very into art, and he has a

1240
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:51,439
Speaker 4: Dwayne Haskins tattoo on his right forearm that's like thing

1241
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:53,360
Speaker 4: of Dwayn Haskins and a picture of him and Dwayne

1242
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 4: Haskins together. And then a DM somebody sent him about

1243
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:57,880
Speaker 4: Dwayne Haskins all in this one kind of on his

1244
00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 4: right forum and I asked him of that, and so

1245
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:02,919
Speaker 4: he said they met to out in LA Paskins would

1246
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 4: train out in LA at the same place that DTR

1247
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:08,040
Speaker 4: was training in his off seasons, and they met, and

1248
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:10,759
Speaker 4: that he actually Haskins introduced him to Sean Watson. So

1249
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:13,799
Speaker 4: DTR and De Shaun Watson actually have a relationship going

1250
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 4: back a few years from training together and being together

1251
00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 4: a lot of off seasons, so he was obviously thrilled

1252
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:25,200
Speaker 4: to come here. But yeah, just a pretty incredible, incredible

1253
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 4: young man. And I found you could just tell how

1254
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:30,040
Speaker 4: he could command a room. But I think, you know,

1255
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 4: if he can do what he did at UCLA. And

1256
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 4: we talked about the fact that, you know, in his

1257
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 4: last year he just played football his extra year, he

1258
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 4: had graduated everything, so he was able.

1259
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:42,000
Speaker 3: He kind of was a pro last.

1260
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:44,200
Speaker 4: Year in a sense, and he said it obviously helped,

1261
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 4: you know, career high completion percentage. It was saught it better.

1262
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:50,560
Speaker 4: But he's somebody that's gonna be fun. And you know,

1263
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 4: I keep joking, I'm excited to see him play. I

1264
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 4: think when he was a highlight film, I think at

1265
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:58,640
Speaker 4: UCLA got better throw in the football. But you know,

1266
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:02,480
Speaker 4: you think about a year where you've got four preseason

1267
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:05,960
Speaker 4: games now, which is not the norm, We're going to

1268
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:08,120
Speaker 4: get to see these guys a lot, and I think

1269
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:11,680
Speaker 4: that's going to be. Yes, there are going to be

1270
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 4: some fun guys to watch. And you know, he and

1271
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 4: Cedric Tillman they played together in high school and that

1272
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:18,480
Speaker 4: was the last time they played together. But they've thrown

1273
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:19,800
Speaker 4: and run routes and I said, you know, in the

1274
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 4: two weeks between you guys getting drafted coming here, He's like, oh, yeah,

1275
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 4: we're We basically were throwing running routes and throwing the

1276
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 4: ball to each other, you know, all the time. He said,

1277
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:27,960
Speaker 4: I wanted to be on the same page with him.

1278
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 4: He wanted to be on the same page as me.

1279
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 4: So I expect them to actually come out here and

1280
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 4: have a chemistry at a Rocky mini camp.

1281
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:34,400
Speaker 3: That should be unique.

1282
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 4: I mean, how often do you have a quarterback in

1283
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 4: his high school number one receiver and best best friend

1284
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 4: that they get to come do this together.

1285
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:43,760
Speaker 3: Now, it's it's such a cool story.

1286
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 2: Did you ask, like, did they Was that at all

1287
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:49,200
Speaker 2: part of the How aware of that were they?

1288
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 4: That the Browns were very aware of it. It just

1289
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 4: worked out circumsistance. Yes, that they liked both. Really, it

1290
00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:59,600
Speaker 4: had nothing to do with why the picks were made.

1291
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 2: No, but it's it's a hell of a bone.

1292
00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 3: Yeah they knew about it. Well, yeah, and you have.

1293
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:05,880
Speaker 4: And then we drafted Cam Mitchell, who was great friends

1294
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:09,480
Speaker 4: with with Greg Newsom. Sure, so, yeah, there were a

1295
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:11,320
Speaker 4: lot of little kind of connections there.

1296
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:14,400
Speaker 2: What did what what about dtr from a size standpoint,

1297
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 2: were you you were in person talking to him or

1298
00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:17,760
Speaker 2: were you he's Okay.

1299
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:20,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, my guess, and I don't know what he's listed at,

1300
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:24,840
Speaker 4: but my guest six one six y two, uh probably

1301
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:26,440
Speaker 4: two fifteen issues?

1302
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:28,320
Speaker 2: Okay, so good, good size.

1303
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:32,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm a little taller than he is, muscular and

1304
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 4: just looks like an athlete.

1305
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:36,360
Speaker 3: I mean, he's an athletic build.

1306
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, another interesting thing around the league. And we'll go

1307
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:42,320
Speaker 2: out and watch a little bit of camp and we'll

1308
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:44,280
Speaker 2: kind of give you an idea of what we're seeing

1309
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:45,960
Speaker 2: out there. Is there has it been going out of

1310
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 2: for about fifteen minutes now. Tom Brady in deep discussion

1311
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:53,640
Speaker 2: is becoming a limited partner with the Vegas Raiders. It's

1312
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:55,600
Speaker 2: his second four end of the partnership with the Raiders

1313
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 2: on our Mark Davis in less than two months. Wasn't

1314
00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 2: it the WNBA? Is that what he got into in Vegas?

1315
01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 2: I think so, yeah, he's I think he's trying to

1316
01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 2: find himself. I mean, he's just trying to find a

1317
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:11,200
Speaker 2: way about something that gets him fired up because he

1318
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:13,360
Speaker 2: still has the Fox thing, but he's not doing it now.

1319
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 2: And I read this morning that Fox was aware that

1320
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 2: he was doing this, But I don't know. I don't

1321
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 2: know if he ever works for Fox, I'll be curious

1322
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:21,800
Speaker 2: to see.

1323
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:25,160
Speaker 4: It doesn't feel like that does anything for.

1324
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 2: Him, doesn't No, I would agree. It feels like he's

1325
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:31,320
Speaker 2: he's looking for something else that would maybe ignite it

1326
01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 2: a little bit. So potentially a limited partner with the Raiders.

1327
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 2: I'm always surprised that. And he was in the release

1328
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 2: video for the Patriots too, wasn't he he was?

1329
01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 4: I did not watch it. I didn't watch their release video.

1330
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:45,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, they did one where it was like all old

1331
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:48,280
Speaker 2: Patriots were like in it, had a house together. Oh

1332
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 2: that's cool, and every like it started like Andre Tippett

1333
01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 2: and Troy Brown was in it, and like every time

1334
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:56,720
Speaker 2: you flip channels, it was a Patriot like historic game

1335
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 2: was on the ever every channel. So that was that

1336
01:00:59,880 --> 01:01:02,200
Speaker 2: was their operation. And Brady showed up in that. So

1337
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:05,880
Speaker 2: that's yeah, that's up there all right. Coming up next,

1338
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:08,600
Speaker 2: we will go one on one with Brown's and former

1339
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 2: Buckeye safety Ronnie Hickman. You're listening to Cleveland Brown's Daily,

1345
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 2: by Ronnie Hickman. Cleveland Brown Safety got a nice ring

1346
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 2: to it, doesn't it?

1347
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:36,840
Speaker 5: Foul?

1348
01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:39,400
Speaker 9: I think so. I think so when you're in the.

1349
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:43,520
Speaker 2: Position that you're in and the draft comes and goes,

1350
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:46,000
Speaker 2: there's a value to this. I've talked to Tyvus Powell

1351
01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 2: about this as well, former Buckeye safety like yourself who

1352
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:52,760
Speaker 2: went undrafted and found the best spot for him. What

1353
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:56,400
Speaker 2: was it about this spot for you that led you

1354
01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 2: to become a Cleveland Brown.

1355
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:00,720
Speaker 10: I think there's a lot of factors that playing to it.

1356
01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 10: But I just think the situation as far as the

1357
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 10: guys in the room and you know, having a great

1358
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,720
Speaker 10: interview with the safety coaches here now meeting him at

1359
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:11,960
Speaker 10: the combine and kind of having a small relationship being

1360
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:15,760
Speaker 10: being built there prior to even come in here. And

1361
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:18,560
Speaker 10: you just know, if you're a good person or if

1362
01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 10: there's good people in an organization, that word is going

1363
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:22,920
Speaker 10: to spread. And that's what I've been hearing from, you know,

1364
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:25,400
Speaker 10: coaches that I've had or players that have been here,

1365
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 10: So I just felt like ultimately it was the right

1366
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:27,800
Speaker 10: decision for me.

1367
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 2: And there's opportunity here too, right, I mean you look

1368
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:34,120
Speaker 2: at the you look at the opportunity at safety. Some

1369
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 2: really good young players, some nice veterans at it this

1370
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:38,760
Speaker 2: week as well. To this roster a chance for you

1371
01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:41,480
Speaker 2: to learn, but also an opportunity for you to to

1372
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:43,160
Speaker 2: maybe show yourself a little bit, and you'll have your

1373
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:46,400
Speaker 2: first chance with this rookie mini camp this week.

1374
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:49,360
Speaker 9: One hundred percent, one hundred percent for Brown's Nation.

1375
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:51,480
Speaker 2: There aren't many of who haven't seen Buckeye games, but

1376
01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:54,040
Speaker 2: for those who haven't, what type of player are the

1377
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 2: Browns getting?

1378
01:02:55,640 --> 01:02:56,880
Speaker 9: A guy who's willing to do it all?

1379
01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:59,920
Speaker 10: You know, I've played several positions on the back end,

1380
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 10: play special teams every year that I've started at Ohio State.

1381
01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:06,400
Speaker 10: Just a selfless guy who's willing to do whatever for

1382
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:08,520
Speaker 10: the team. That's how I was raised. It's how I

1383
01:03:08,560 --> 01:03:10,080
Speaker 10: was taught to play the game, and it's how it

1384
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:11,040
Speaker 10: continued to play the game.

1385
01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:13,520
Speaker 2: And you know, when and the special team's part is

1386
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 2: going to be a big part of it, as you know,

1387
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:18,560
Speaker 2: what is it about that that you thrived at that

1388
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 2: in Columbus. What what is it about that that you like?

1389
01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:24,240
Speaker 2: Why is it someplace you find yourself be so comfortable.

1390
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:26,280
Speaker 9: I honestly think it's a mindset thing.

1391
01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:29,560
Speaker 10: If you looked at all the guys on the teams, athletically,

1392
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:30,480
Speaker 10: every guy can do it.

1393
01:03:31,280 --> 01:03:33,560
Speaker 9: Physically, they can do it. It's really just a mindset and

1394
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:34,320
Speaker 9: kind of.

1395
01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:36,440
Speaker 10: You know, letting your ego go or whatever that may be,

1396
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:37,960
Speaker 10: and just saying, you know, if the team needs this,

1397
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:39,360
Speaker 10: you know, I'm going to be the guy to do it.

1398
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 2: You had to make a transition in defensive style last

1399
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:45,560
Speaker 2: year in Columbus as you go to a Jim Noles defense.

1400
01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:48,880
Speaker 2: That's something that that's a pretty common thing that happens

1401
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:50,200
Speaker 2: in the league in terms of having to learn a

1402
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:52,720
Speaker 2: bunch of new styles. What did you learn in that

1403
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:54,920
Speaker 2: process that you think is there something that maybe you

1404
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 2: could apply to learning this defense is Jim Schwartz defense

1405
01:03:58,280 --> 01:03:58,920
Speaker 2: here in Cleveland.

1406
01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:01,880
Speaker 10: I think we're all with my time at Ohio State

1407
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:05,120
Speaker 10: having a new coordinator each year. You know, in the moment,

1408
01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 10: it's kind of a thing that you're like, damn, you know,

1409
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 10: I wish my coach is staying there.

1410
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:10,280
Speaker 9: You're coming back to the same system.

1411
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:12,280
Speaker 10: But you know, now I look at it kind of

1412
01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:15,880
Speaker 10: as an advantage being able to learn a whole new

1413
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 10: difference each year, year in and year out, new new terminology,

1414
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:24,720
Speaker 10: new lingo obviously, coaches and stuff like that. So when

1415
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:27,040
Speaker 10: it comes to playbook or or learning new information, I

1416
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:29,560
Speaker 10: feel like I'm a guy that can do that at

1417
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:30,160
Speaker 10: any level.

1418
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:33,400
Speaker 2: Talking to former Buck Eye and current Cleveland Brown safety

1419
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:36,520
Speaker 2: Ronnie Hickman here on Cleveland Brown's Daily eight fifty ESPA Cleveland,

1420
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:40,000
Speaker 2: that Buckeye part of it. It is something that is

1421
01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:43,600
Speaker 2: so unique to that institution and that they really prepare

1422
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 2: you for the league. You know, I don't even mean

1423
01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:49,080
Speaker 2: necessarily you know, Mickey Varatti and the and the weight

1424
01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 2: training and the and the nutrition and all of that.

1425
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:54,720
Speaker 2: The level of competition, the competitiveness of the practices, but

1426
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:56,800
Speaker 2: also the way that Ohio State is covered, I mean

1427
01:04:56,840 --> 01:04:59,720
Speaker 2: that is covered like a professional team. Do you feel

1428
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:03,160
Speaker 2: like that Ohio State experience prepared you for the league

1429
01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:03,960
Speaker 2: as good as it could have?

1430
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:07,360
Speaker 9: Well, you know it's not. It's my first day, so

1431
01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:07,960
Speaker 9: so we'll see.

1432
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:11,360
Speaker 10: But but but definitely so far of you know, just

1433
01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:13,600
Speaker 10: from feedback from the guys that who have already been

1434
01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:15,520
Speaker 10: here and you know, me sharing to lock room with

1435
01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:18,240
Speaker 10: them for three or two years and then getting feedback,

1436
01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:20,240
Speaker 10: and you know, they've always said that, you know, you'll

1437
01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:23,040
Speaker 10: be prepared, and it kind of feels like that so far.

1438
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:23,880
Speaker 9: You know, I don't want to.

1439
01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:26,240
Speaker 10: Jump ahead of the gun or anything, like I said,

1440
01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:28,440
Speaker 10: that's my first day, but you know, I definitely do

1441
01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:30,240
Speaker 10: feel comfortable, and a lot of the things that I've

1442
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:32,920
Speaker 10: been told throughout this process by guys who've been through it,

1443
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:35,880
Speaker 10: where there's coaches or players, it's all kind of stay true.

1444
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:37,760
Speaker 9: So so I'm very thankful for that.

1445
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:41,160
Speaker 2: You know, you mentioned it your first day. You know,

1446
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:43,640
Speaker 2: from the time you're how old you dream of this day,

1447
01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:47,640
Speaker 2: right of walking in bel facility and getting some gear

1448
01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:50,240
Speaker 2: with the shield on it, take us through, Take take

1449
01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:51,120
Speaker 2: me through this morning?

1450
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:51,920
Speaker 5: Uh?

1451
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:53,560
Speaker 2: And today? What was that like for you?

1452
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:55,240
Speaker 9: It happens fast.

1453
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 10: I think for myself, you know, I try to stay

1454
01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:01,760
Speaker 10: present as much as possible and kind of soaking the moment.

1455
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:04,360
Speaker 10: But you know, like you said, it's something that I've

1456
01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:06,120
Speaker 10: dreamed of since I was young, and just like the

1457
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:08,360
Speaker 10: other guys, I'm sure they've dreamed of it as well.

1458
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:10,560
Speaker 10: So I'm really just trying to take each moment in.

1459
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:13,840
Speaker 10: You know, they emphasize a lot that you know, you're

1460
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:15,800
Speaker 10: lucky to be in these seats, and you know you

1461
01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:17,840
Speaker 10: got to really wrap your head around that and understand that,

1462
01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:19,480
Speaker 10: you know, you got one shot to do this, so

1463
01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:21,520
Speaker 10: you really got to put everything into it, make the

1464
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:22,040
Speaker 10: most of it.

1465
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:25,000
Speaker 2: Who have you if you talk to anybody former Buck Eye, uh,

1466
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:28,720
Speaker 2: guys in the Buckeye Brotherhood about about what to expect

1467
01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:31,560
Speaker 2: at a rookie mini camp, the things that you need

1468
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:32,960
Speaker 2: to do to impress.

1469
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:35,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, really it's the little things.

1470
01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:37,840
Speaker 10: I mean, the guys who have been at Ohio State,

1471
01:06:38,120 --> 01:06:39,800
Speaker 10: one thing we share in common is the work that

1472
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:43,040
Speaker 10: we put in. And you know that we know that

1473
01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:45,440
Speaker 10: what Mickey has put us through, the coaches have put

1474
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 10: it through, put us through through practice.

1475
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:49,800
Speaker 9: So really, outside of the physical things, it's really.

1476
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:52,040
Speaker 10: A mental thing that you've got to really lock in

1477
01:06:52,080 --> 01:06:55,480
Speaker 10: and stay in on the details, whether that's playbook, showing

1478
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:57,880
Speaker 10: up early, just stuff little things like that. You know,

1479
01:06:57,920 --> 01:06:59,760
Speaker 10: the physical things will take care of itself. You know,

1480
01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:02,120
Speaker 10: we've been playing this game since we were younger. It's

1481
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:04,800
Speaker 10: really just you know, those little things, those mental aspects.

1482
01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:06,400
Speaker 2: Ronnie, how do you how do you think the fit

1483
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:09,360
Speaker 2: is for you in a Jim Schwartz defense and what

1484
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:11,280
Speaker 2: Bubba wants to do in special teams.

1485
01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:14,400
Speaker 10: I think if it's really well, you know, we've had

1486
01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:18,480
Speaker 10: meetings today and they've kind of introduced us their scheme,

1487
01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:20,640
Speaker 10: the basics and stuff like that, but but more so

1488
01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:23,800
Speaker 10: just what defined what what defines them as a defense

1489
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:26,720
Speaker 10: And I'm one hundred percent on board with those things.

1490
01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:29,240
Speaker 10: And it's very similar to the background that I came

1491
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:31,880
Speaker 10: from and just very excited for the future.

1492
01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:35,600
Speaker 2: Was it cool? You know, see another guys from other

1493
01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:37,800
Speaker 2: Buck guys in the rooms with you. I'm sure you've

1494
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:41,040
Speaker 2: seen Big Thanos here, Luke, and you see you see

1495
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:42,840
Speaker 2: a bunch of familiar faces that had to help.

1496
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:45,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, it definitely does help seeing familiar faces.

1497
01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:46,960
Speaker 10: Just know that you're not you're not going through the

1498
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 10: loan and you can really connect with the guys that

1499
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:50,520
Speaker 10: you were just in the locker room with a couple

1500
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:52,720
Speaker 10: of months ago. So it's like you're right back where

1501
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:54,960
Speaker 10: you left off. So it's definitely a blessing.

1502
01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:57,800
Speaker 2: Ronnie, is there always curious? Is there is there something

1503
01:07:57,840 --> 01:07:59,720
Speaker 2: the Browns fans ought to know about you?

1504
01:07:59,760 --> 01:08:03,800
Speaker 9: That they don't. No, not not for real.

1505
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:06,720
Speaker 2: What type of player are they going to get when

1506
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:07,680
Speaker 2: you put on that helmet?

1507
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:11,960
Speaker 10: Like I said earlier, just a selfless player. You know,

1508
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:14,760
Speaker 10: I was taught from a young age. It's it's always

1509
01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:15,520
Speaker 10: been about the team.

1510
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:15,680
Speaker 5: You know.

1511
01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:18,400
Speaker 10: I don't play an individual sport either, there's anyone else

1512
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:19,040
Speaker 10: in this locker room.

1513
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:19,920
Speaker 9: We play a team sport.

1514
01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:22,360
Speaker 10: So when it comes down to that, you know, I'm

1515
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:25,040
Speaker 10: willing to do everything that it takes to help the

1516
01:08:25,040 --> 01:08:28,120
Speaker 10: team win. And that's really been my mindset all my

1517
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:31,439
Speaker 10: life playing sports, and it's, you know, going to continue

1518
01:08:31,479 --> 01:08:32,200
Speaker 10: to be my mindset.

1519
01:08:32,479 --> 01:08:33,840
Speaker 2: Now you do that and you match up with the

1520
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:35,519
Speaker 2: talent that you have, my creend, it feels like bright

1521
01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:37,040
Speaker 2: things are in the future for you. Thank you so

01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:27,920
Speaker 8: What's been more of a whirlwind for you the draft

1539
01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:30,440
Speaker 8: weekend or everything since Draft weekend?

1540
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:34,720
Speaker 11: I'll say draft weekend, you know, when I finally got

1541
01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:37,080
Speaker 11: picked up by the Browns. You know, things kind of

1542
01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:38,640
Speaker 11: cooled off a little bit. You know, I came up

1543
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:40,320
Speaker 11: here and meant all the coaches and stuff and just

1544
01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:43,320
Speaker 11: got prepared to come back here today. So yeah, I

1545
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:44,759
Speaker 11: think definitely draft weekend.

1546
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:49,120
Speaker 4: What do you have to accomplish this weekend?

1547
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:53,400
Speaker 11: Say, just you know, learning my teammates, learning the plays,

1548
01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:55,880
Speaker 11: you know, just swing the coaches, how much I care

1549
01:09:55,920 --> 01:09:59,759
Speaker 11: about football, and just overall buying into the Cleveland Brown culture.

1550
01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:02,519
Speaker 7: Said, we talked about your size when you talk to

1551
01:10:02,520 --> 01:10:04,880
Speaker 7: you during the draft, but how important is that to

1552
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:05,360
Speaker 7: your game?

1553
01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:07,360
Speaker 12: And do you feel like it's kind of a dimension

1554
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:09,280
Speaker 12: that maybe this receiving core needed.

1555
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:10,120
Speaker 5: Did you bring to it?

1556
01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:13,200
Speaker 11: You know, this receiver corps you know was good, you

1557
01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:15,120
Speaker 11: know before I came here. You know, I'm just gonna

1558
01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:17,360
Speaker 11: try to lick after those older guys and try to

1559
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:20,320
Speaker 11: you know, fall after them. But definitely I do think

1560
01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:21,519
Speaker 11: I bring something to the table.

1561
01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:22,000
Speaker 12: Uh.

1562
01:10:22,040 --> 01:10:24,200
Speaker 11: You know, my size, my ability, what I can do,

1563
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:27,240
Speaker 11: so uh, you know, just tryna make plays for this offense?

1564
01:10:27,439 --> 01:10:29,599
Speaker 13: Said, were you ever close to just shutting it down

1565
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:34,200
Speaker 13: last year and not playing through what you went through?

1566
01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:34,840
Speaker 5: Uh?

1567
01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:37,120
Speaker 11: No, Uh, you know me getting the surgery. The goal

1568
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:38,920
Speaker 11: was always to come back and help my team win

1569
01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:39,680
Speaker 11: a championship.

1570
01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:44,000
Speaker 13: How much as uh can I just call? Were you

1571
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:47,200
Speaker 13: asked that by uh? In the pro interviews?

1572
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:48,759
Speaker 5: Aa?

1573
01:10:49,160 --> 01:10:51,960
Speaker 11: Uh yeah, a couple uh teams coaches wanted to know. Uh,

1574
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:53,559
Speaker 11: But like I said, Uh, my goal the whole time

1575
01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:55,720
Speaker 11: was to uh help my team win a championship.

1576
01:10:57,000 --> 01:10:57,880
Speaker 2: So you picked eighty nine?

1577
01:10:57,960 --> 01:11:01,479
Speaker 5: Anything behind it or just wols ahalable you know right now?

1578
01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:01,800
Speaker 2: Uh?

1579
01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:03,320
Speaker 11: You know it was a number was available, but you

1580
01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:04,800
Speaker 11: know I'm not focused on a number right now. I'm

1581
01:11:04,840 --> 01:11:06,519
Speaker 11: just focused on uh, like I said, buying to the

1582
01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:14,200
Speaker 11: Cleveland Brown culture and ultimately getting a spot on the team. Like, uh,

1583
01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:16,400
Speaker 11: you know, it's a procedure. You know, guys like tour

1584
01:11:16,479 --> 01:11:19,280
Speaker 11: and stuff like that. I've gotten basically just kind of

1585
01:11:19,640 --> 01:11:21,120
Speaker 11: takes it from six to eight weeks to four to

1586
01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:22,679
Speaker 11: six weeks, depending on how you heal.

1587
01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:26,320
Speaker 5: So that's why I got the surgery. I'm not sure

1588
01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:35,920
Speaker 5: if he had it. Uh you know, I'm not really

1589
01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:36,320
Speaker 5: a doctor.

1590
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:36,519
Speaker 7: You know.

1591
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:38,040
Speaker 11: They tell me, hey, this is how you play. Obviously

1592
01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:39,600
Speaker 11: they explained it to me. But like I said, I

1593
01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:41,559
Speaker 11: did it to get back on the field. So that's

1594
01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:42,439
Speaker 11: pretty much what I know.

1595
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:45,080
Speaker 12: How much have you gotten into the playbook at this.

1596
01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:47,880
Speaker 11: Point, I've gotten to it a lot, like I said, Uh,

1597
01:11:47,960 --> 01:11:49,479
Speaker 11: you know, like they said, that's the number one thing.

1598
01:11:49,520 --> 01:11:50,720
Speaker 5: You know, you can't be out there if you don't

1599
01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:51,200
Speaker 5: know the place.

1600
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:53,640
Speaker 11: So uh, you know, just studying the playbooks with the

1601
01:11:53,640 --> 01:11:56,439
Speaker 11: other receivers and other guys here, that's my number one

1602
01:11:56,479 --> 01:11:57,040
Speaker 11: priority right now.

1603
01:11:57,160 --> 01:12:00,439
Speaker 12: What's your first, I guess impression reaction When you get

1604
01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:02,360
Speaker 12: that and you start thumbing through it and looking at

1605
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:04,920
Speaker 12: the terminology, looking at the route trees and things.

1606
01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:07,760
Speaker 11: Like that, you know, it's definitely different. But uh, like

1607
01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:09,840
Speaker 11: I said, uh, you know, had a lot of different

1608
01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:11,960
Speaker 11: coaches in different offices while I was in college. So

1609
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:15,800
Speaker 11: it's nothing I can handle.

1610
01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:19,559
Speaker 4: With some of the other receivers, what's.

1611
01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:23,280
Speaker 11: Striking, you know, it's just a lot right now. You know,

1612
01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:25,080
Speaker 11: we're all new. You know, we got to get used

1613
01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:27,400
Speaker 11: to the system. You know, we're a little bit behind

1614
01:12:27,400 --> 01:12:29,840
Speaker 11: the pack. But that's okay. So you know, right now

1615
01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:32,519
Speaker 11: it's so important for all of receivers just to stick

1616
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:34,719
Speaker 11: together and learn the playbook together.

1617
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:37,400
Speaker 5: To have Mark Good who's.

1618
01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:39,519
Speaker 2: The veteran, right, so you're a rookie, he's a veteran,

1619
01:12:39,560 --> 01:12:40,240
Speaker 2: but you're both.

1620
01:12:40,080 --> 01:12:41,519
Speaker 5: Coming in at the same time as.

1621
01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:43,240
Speaker 4: That that an he helped to have him.

1622
01:12:43,439 --> 01:12:44,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure.

1623
01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:45,840
Speaker 11: You know, I haven't talked to him personally, but you

1624
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:47,960
Speaker 11: know the things I've heard about him, Uh you know,

1625
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:50,240
Speaker 11: I know he'll definitely be a great mentor for me.

1626
01:12:51,520 --> 01:12:55,599
Speaker 5: Next week. Uh yeah, absolutely. I know my schedule.

1627
01:12:55,640 --> 01:12:57,640
Speaker 11: I know there's some things on it, but uh, you know,

1628
01:12:57,640 --> 01:13:02,280
Speaker 11: whatever they tell me to do, that's what I'm doing. Yeah,

1629
01:13:02,280 --> 01:13:03,920
Speaker 11: I think it does, like it kind of just hit

1630
01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:05,360
Speaker 11: on me, like Dann, this is really my job.

1631
01:13:05,479 --> 01:13:06,920
Speaker 5: So obviously it's a fun job.

1632
01:13:07,120 --> 01:13:08,479
Speaker 2: I was you gonna say, is it important to keep

1633
01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:10,960
Speaker 2: that balance having as much fun with the game you'll

1634
01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:11,719
Speaker 2: have to play.

1635
01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:14,479
Speaker 11: As Uh, yes, sir, you know obviously, uh, you know,

1636
01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:17,280
Speaker 11: football sport. I love to play, you know, obviously ultimately

1637
01:13:17,280 --> 01:13:18,800
Speaker 11: want to have fun. By at the end of the day,

1638
01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:19,880
Speaker 11: it is a job in the business.

1639
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:23,360
Speaker 8: You and spend a lot of time together since since

1640
01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:24,400
Speaker 8: you guys both got drafted.

1641
01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:27,439
Speaker 11: Absolutely. You know we're both from Vegas. We're literally like

1642
01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:29,880
Speaker 11: ten fifteen minutes away from each other, so you know,

1643
01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:31,960
Speaker 11: still crazy that uh you know we're both here.

1644
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:34,200
Speaker 8: Does it help you know, you and him were both

1645
01:13:34,280 --> 01:13:38,200
Speaker 8: kind of you know, learning the playbook together as a

1646
01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:41,519
Speaker 8: quarterback receiver that you you've had that relationship before. Does

1647
01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:44,479
Speaker 8: that can you guys kind of work together to kind

1648
01:13:44,479 --> 01:13:45,799
Speaker 8: of learn learn it together?

1649
01:13:46,280 --> 01:13:46,840
Speaker 5: Absolutely?

1650
01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:48,400
Speaker 11: You know, like I said, me and uh Dorian, you

1651
01:13:48,479 --> 01:13:50,360
Speaker 11: know this is our first rodeo. You know, we played

1652
01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:52,600
Speaker 11: together four years in high school, so you know, just

1653
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:55,080
Speaker 11: having that relationship with him, Uh, you know, it's cool.

1654
01:13:55,560 --> 01:13:57,240
Speaker 13: What was the offensive like in high school?

1655
01:13:58,640 --> 01:14:01,880
Speaker 11: It wasn't as this uh you know it's this big,

1656
01:14:01,960 --> 01:14:03,720
Speaker 11: but uh, you know, it's definitely a spread offense and

1657
01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:05,400
Speaker 11: stuff like that. We like to throw the ball around,

1658
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:11,040
Speaker 11: you know, run the ball. So non Tennessee, yeah, not similar.

1659
01:14:12,280 --> 01:14:14,639
Speaker 11: Uh yeah, well Tennessee's offense.

1660
01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:17,479
Speaker 5: You know, I would more say it's a tempo offense.

1661
01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:20,240
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. Uh, That's how I'll describe it.

1662
01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:24,160
Speaker 12: Best was your highest skilled team?

1663
01:14:24,160 --> 01:14:27,360
Speaker 9: Pretty good with you.

1664
01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:28,000
Speaker 5: And yeah, yeah, we were real successful.

1665
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:29,759
Speaker 11: You know, we got we had other guys like Bubba

1666
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:31,720
Speaker 11: uh you know, he's one of our other teammates on

1667
01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:32,120
Speaker 11: the team.

1668
01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:32,759
Speaker 6: Uh.

1669
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:35,800
Speaker 11: You know, we won I think non straight state championships

1670
01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:37,160
Speaker 11: and a couple of national championships.

1671
01:14:37,160 --> 01:14:37,880
Speaker 5: So we were pretty good.

1672
01:14:38,040 --> 01:14:41,799
Speaker 13: There's a lot of receivers from the SEC. The media

1673
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:46,519
Speaker 13: in the NFL chase didn't even play that COVID year.

1674
01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:48,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he made a big impick.

1675
01:14:48,600 --> 01:14:52,679
Speaker 13: So is that encouraging to you that learning curve?

1676
01:14:54,760 --> 01:14:55,479
Speaker 5: Uh? Yeah, you know.

1677
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:58,280
Speaker 11: Uh, like I said me my myself, you know, I

1678
01:14:58,280 --> 01:14:59,800
Speaker 11: have goals for the year. You know, I want to come.

1679
01:14:59,840 --> 01:15:02,400
Speaker 11: I want to contribute for the team, and that's what

1680
01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:02,960
Speaker 11: I'm gonna do.

1681
01:15:03,160 --> 01:15:06,200
Speaker 12: What is it about the SEC that seems to really

1682
01:15:06,280 --> 01:15:10,240
Speaker 12: prepare players like yourself for this legout?

1683
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:13,840
Speaker 11: You know, I haven't played yet on this level. But

1684
01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:16,080
Speaker 11: you know, I think definitely we have the best competition.

1685
01:15:16,439 --> 01:15:18,639
Speaker 11: I think you go against the best weekend and week out,

1686
01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:21,479
Speaker 11: so uh, you know, they always say the SEC has

1687
01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:23,680
Speaker 11: the most drafted guys every year, so I think that

1688
01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:24,599
Speaker 11: has something to do with it.

1689
01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:28,720
Speaker 8: What's the biggest adjustment and receiver has to be I

1690
01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:31,479
Speaker 8: know you're just making that adjustment, but from talking to

1691
01:15:31,479 --> 01:15:33,760
Speaker 8: the guys who have made it before, what do they

1692
01:15:33,800 --> 01:15:36,559
Speaker 8: say is the biggest thing that receiver has to overcome

1693
01:15:37,160 --> 01:15:39,920
Speaker 8: making that jump from college to the NFL.

1694
01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:43,200
Speaker 11: A lot of people say just to speed and attention

1695
01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:46,240
Speaker 11: to detail. You gotta be smart. So I'll say those

1696
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:48,400
Speaker 11: three things. You know, college you can kind of get

1697
01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:50,400
Speaker 11: away with things here and there, but you know we're

1698
01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:52,720
Speaker 11: going against the best, best weekend a week out.

1699
01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:55,840
Speaker 5: You know, one mistake could cost you that game. You

1700
01:15:56,160 --> 01:15:57,439
Speaker 5: want to do things at this level.

1701
01:15:57,439 --> 01:15:59,000
Speaker 13: What does it mean though, to have ten catches for

1702
01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:00,800
Speaker 13: two hundred yards against a Georgia.

1703
01:16:01,960 --> 01:16:02,920
Speaker 5: You know it was really cool.

1704
01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:05,439
Speaker 11: Uh, you know, I just went out there, you know,

1705
01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:07,800
Speaker 11: did my best. But like I said, you know that's

1706
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:09,600
Speaker 11: in the past now and now hopefully I can do

1707
01:16:09,640 --> 01:16:10,240
Speaker 11: that for the Browns.

1708
01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:13,200
Speaker 12: When you're being recruited at test were they Was that

1709
01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:17,280
Speaker 12: selling point to you that, hey, all all these guys

1710
01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:20,160
Speaker 12: come out the s say that go to the NFL.

1711
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:24,680
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, you know, just I knew already, you know,

1712
01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:26,600
Speaker 11: going against the best of the best. You know, I

1713
01:16:26,600 --> 01:16:28,439
Speaker 11: would have to go to the SEC. So luckily I

1714
01:16:28,479 --> 01:16:30,600
Speaker 11: was able to have an opportunity to do exactly.

1715
01:16:30,240 --> 01:16:33,840
Speaker 13: That much of a challenge was it to get through

1716
01:16:34,120 --> 01:16:36,760
Speaker 13: last year with the injury and then you know the

1717
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:41,960
Speaker 13: teammates it suddenly the number one although you were pursuing

1718
01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:42,959
Speaker 13: the actual championship.

1719
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:44,479
Speaker 9: Did you wonder what what is this going to do

1720
01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:45,280
Speaker 9: to my pro career?

1721
01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:48,960
Speaker 11: No, you know, I just control what I could control.

1722
01:16:49,080 --> 01:16:51,479
Speaker 11: So you know, injuries happened as part of the game. Uh,

1723
01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:53,080
Speaker 11: Like I said, my job is just to show up

1724
01:16:53,120 --> 01:16:56,760
Speaker 11: weekend and week out and prepare. So you know, you know,

1725
01:16:56,840 --> 01:16:59,360
Speaker 11: nothing but happy actually for Hyatt. You know what he did?

1726
01:16:59,640 --> 01:17:01,559
Speaker 11: You know, big brother, you know, like my little brother

1727
01:17:01,600 --> 01:17:03,800
Speaker 11: to me. So, like I said, it's in the past

1728
01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:05,439
Speaker 11: now and you know, I'll just keep it paying for

1729
01:17:05,560 --> 01:17:11,639
Speaker 11: now here see combine and work.

1730
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:14,479
Speaker 5: Yes, I was healthy, all right.

1731
01:17:14,479 --> 01:17:19,040
Speaker 2: There's Cedric Tillman from the podium, third round pick of

1732
01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:22,240
Speaker 2: the Cleveland Browns. Just boy, a couple of things, just

1733
01:17:22,280 --> 01:17:24,800
Speaker 2: from a you want to talk about the stage that

1734
01:17:24,840 --> 01:17:28,559
Speaker 2: the kid's been on. You play wide receiver at Bishop

1735
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:31,960
Speaker 2: Gorman in Vegas. That's one of the most prominent high

1736
01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:35,360
Speaker 2: school football programs in the country. They won several national championships.

1737
01:17:36,280 --> 01:17:39,080
Speaker 2: That that's a that's a big I understand everything's a step,

1738
01:17:39,200 --> 01:17:41,080
Speaker 2: but he's been on a big stage for a long time.

1739
01:17:41,120 --> 01:17:44,080
Speaker 2: Then you go to Tennessee and you play in that tempo,

1740
01:17:44,200 --> 01:17:47,920
Speaker 2: air raid offense that he's played in uh at at Tennessee,

1741
01:17:48,120 --> 01:17:51,240
Speaker 2: and you say, boy, that that strikes a lot of

1742
01:17:51,320 --> 01:17:54,720
Speaker 2: chords as well. Obviously not many similarities in terms of

1743
01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:57,400
Speaker 2: what they ran at Tennessee to what we run, but

1744
01:17:57,479 --> 01:17:59,000
Speaker 2: just from the standpoint of the ball was in the

1745
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:01,400
Speaker 2: air a lot for him then, and you got your

1746
01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:03,080
Speaker 2: first look at him out there, what do you What

1747
01:18:03,120 --> 01:18:05,479
Speaker 2: did you make of what you saw? It's throwing around

1748
01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:07,799
Speaker 2: on air but running some routes. What what'd you see?

1749
01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:10,360
Speaker 4: I'd say the thing that struck me the most about

1750
01:18:10,360 --> 01:18:14,320
Speaker 4: watching center Tillman is obviously his size, he moves very naturally,

1751
01:18:14,360 --> 01:18:16,160
Speaker 4: he's an athlete, But just the way he catches the

1752
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:18,559
Speaker 4: ball it's just pure every time.

1753
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:21,160
Speaker 3: Just like like it's sick. He just he envelops the ball.

1754
01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:24,639
Speaker 4: And you know, obviously he dtr looks great thrown on air,

1755
01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:27,680
Speaker 4: no surprise that they had a nice chemistry. But what

1756
01:18:27,720 --> 01:18:29,360
Speaker 4: stood out to me was just the way he catches

1757
01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:31,400
Speaker 4: the ball, the sound it makes when he catches the ball.

1758
01:18:31,760 --> 01:18:35,040
Speaker 4: Absolutely a hands catcher, everything away from his body, everything

1759
01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:39,000
Speaker 4: in kind of that perfect diamond, and you could just

1760
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:40,840
Speaker 4: tell this is a guy that if the ball is

1761
01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:42,720
Speaker 4: near him, he's going to catch it. And I think

1762
01:18:42,760 --> 01:18:45,160
Speaker 4: that's one of the things you look for. No double catches.

1763
01:18:45,160 --> 01:18:47,519
Speaker 4: At any point that I saw. Everything just looked very

1764
01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:50,720
Speaker 4: very natural for him, very pure for him. And he's

1765
01:18:50,760 --> 01:18:54,080
Speaker 4: an impressive physical specimen. Moves easy mover, I would call it.

1766
01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:56,040
Speaker 4: I don't think they're opening it up completely to see,

1767
01:18:56,080 --> 01:18:58,160
Speaker 4: you know, what kind of speed he has. But in

1768
01:18:58,240 --> 01:19:02,680
Speaker 4: terms of standing body control, you can just tell he's

1769
01:19:02,720 --> 01:19:04,360
Speaker 4: the he's a plus. I mean, he's a plus athlete.

1770
01:19:04,360 --> 01:19:06,679
Speaker 4: Obviously he's in the National Football League, but the ease

1771
01:19:06,760 --> 01:19:09,200
Speaker 4: with which he catches the ball the right way stands out.

1772
01:19:09,240 --> 01:19:13,160
Speaker 4: He is a great, great natural hands catcher, and I

1773
01:19:13,160 --> 01:19:15,439
Speaker 4: think that is that's a huge thing. I mean, one,

1774
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:17,360
Speaker 4: you gotta be able to get open and then you've

1775
01:19:17,360 --> 01:19:18,800
Speaker 4: got to be able to catch the ball. I'm not

1776
01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:20,880
Speaker 4: I have no concern just after watching the way that

1777
01:19:20,920 --> 01:19:23,639
Speaker 4: he catches it about that that was that jumped out

1778
01:19:23,640 --> 01:19:25,800
Speaker 4: to me. It kind of looked like and obviously this

1779
01:19:25,960 --> 01:19:29,519
Speaker 4: is I'm not suggesting in any way let me caveat this.

1780
01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:31,720
Speaker 4: I'm not suggesting he is anything like him as a

1781
01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:33,960
Speaker 4: receiver or will be like a pro. But the way

1782
01:19:34,080 --> 01:19:35,519
Speaker 4: in which he catches the ball, in the way his

1783
01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:37,400
Speaker 4: hands seem to be very strong and enveloped the ball

1784
01:19:37,439 --> 01:19:39,559
Speaker 4: reminds me of Larry Fitzgerald, who I think is one

1785
01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:42,320
Speaker 4: of the best hands catchers, high point catchers, you know,

1786
01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:44,920
Speaker 4: probably an NFL history. But that's what it reminded me

1787
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:47,040
Speaker 4: of the way that he catches the football.

1788
01:19:47,560 --> 01:19:49,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think goes back to what I was

1789
01:19:49,640 --> 01:19:51,679
Speaker 2: saying about the Bishop Gorman stuff, and then the fact

1790
01:19:51,680 --> 01:19:53,679
Speaker 2: of the offense that he played in the last couple

1791
01:19:53,680 --> 01:19:57,960
Speaker 2: of years under Josh Hipel at Tennessee. This this is

1792
01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:01,280
Speaker 2: an operation, and he is he has been being groomed

1793
01:20:01,280 --> 01:20:03,760
Speaker 2: for being a professional football wide receiver for a very

1794
01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:08,240
Speaker 2: long time. Yes, it's this isn't something like, oh, you know,

1795
01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:11,040
Speaker 2: oh you've got great size and you've you've blossomed into

1796
01:20:11,040 --> 01:20:14,280
Speaker 2: this like he's been this for a while, you know,

1797
01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:17,519
Speaker 2: like you this is this is very second nature to him.

1798
01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:19,160
Speaker 2: So it doesn't surprise me at all that that's what

1799
01:20:19,200 --> 01:20:20,799
Speaker 2: it looked like to you in person.

1800
01:20:21,560 --> 01:20:23,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was just again it's the hands, the strength

1801
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:26,120
Speaker 4: of the hands and the ball making that sound. You know,

1802
01:20:26,479 --> 01:20:29,200
Speaker 4: DPJ has great hands. I'm Aarri has great that Yeah,

1803
01:20:29,240 --> 01:20:31,240
Speaker 4: and they just it just sticks right in there. And

1804
01:20:31,280 --> 01:20:35,120
Speaker 4: so that that I thought stood out. You know, didn't

1805
01:20:35,160 --> 01:20:38,160
Speaker 4: really get to see a ton of stuff. Siaki Eka

1806
01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:41,000
Speaker 4: is a monstrous man and very powerful.

1807
01:20:41,040 --> 01:20:42,360
Speaker 3: You could see that quite clearly.

1808
01:20:42,439 --> 01:20:45,720
Speaker 4: Isaah MacGuire is a big guy as well, and you

1809
01:20:45,720 --> 01:20:48,519
Speaker 4: know got to see him move as and he's got

1810
01:20:48,760 --> 01:20:50,559
Speaker 4: moves pretty easy for a big athlete.

1811
01:20:50,600 --> 01:20:53,720
Speaker 3: Six four, two seventy five. I got it.

1812
01:20:54,040 --> 01:20:57,080
Speaker 4: Cam Mitchell looks kind of like Greig Noose about there, honestly,

1813
01:20:57,120 --> 01:21:00,599
Speaker 4: which was kind of funny to me. And then Hickman

1814
01:21:00,680 --> 01:21:02,760
Speaker 4: I noticed he looks like a good athlete as well,

1815
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:05,040
Speaker 4: obviously coming out of Ohio State. But you don't really

1816
01:21:05,040 --> 01:21:08,479
Speaker 4: get to see a whole lot Luke Whippler. If I

1817
01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:10,760
Speaker 4: was gonna in my assessment out there the two things

1818
01:21:10,760 --> 01:21:13,400
Speaker 4: that struck me the most. Number one, Cedric Tillman in

1819
01:21:13,439 --> 01:21:15,280
Speaker 4: the ease with which he catches the football and just

1820
01:21:15,320 --> 01:21:17,439
Speaker 4: how natural it is and how strong he is at

1821
01:21:17,439 --> 01:21:19,639
Speaker 4: the catch point would be one, and then the other

1822
01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:22,559
Speaker 4: would be I think Luke Whippler is going to be

1823
01:21:23,760 --> 01:21:24,600
Speaker 4: a stud.

1824
01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:26,160
Speaker 3: Period.

1825
01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:29,920
Speaker 4: It will not be for a lack of not wanting

1826
01:21:29,960 --> 01:21:32,040
Speaker 4: to or not doing everything the right way. He was

1827
01:21:32,080 --> 01:21:35,240
Speaker 4: already Callahan was already using him to show other guys

1828
01:21:35,240 --> 01:21:38,320
Speaker 4: how to do drills after he did them once and

1829
01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:40,840
Speaker 4: he was like helping the other guys. Just it feels

1830
01:21:40,840 --> 01:21:44,200
Speaker 4: like he is going to be football junkie, does everything

1831
01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:46,519
Speaker 4: the right way, is going and that's what you had

1832
01:21:46,520 --> 01:21:48,320
Speaker 4: told me when we draft him.

1833
01:21:48,360 --> 01:21:50,040
Speaker 3: That was the book on him coming out of Ohio State.

1834
01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:52,360
Speaker 4: And so I think the Browns are very lucky that

1835
01:21:52,400 --> 01:21:54,679
Speaker 4: he came out maybe a year early. And I think

1836
01:21:54,720 --> 01:21:57,000
Speaker 4: he's going to be very lucky that he came out

1837
01:21:57,040 --> 01:21:58,559
Speaker 4: at a time when the Browns were able to get

1838
01:21:58,600 --> 01:22:00,080
Speaker 4: him where they did, and he's gonna be able to

1839
01:22:00,160 --> 01:22:02,920
Speaker 4: learn with Bill Callahan. But I think he's going to

1840
01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:06,200
Speaker 4: be he will be. If you said, you know, give

1841
01:22:06,240 --> 01:22:08,559
Speaker 4: me somebody who's going to be a long term starter

1842
01:22:08,680 --> 01:22:11,760
Speaker 4: in the NFL, just on watching five seconds.

1843
01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:14,040
Speaker 3: I'd say Luke Whippler. It just felt like.

1844
01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:17,719
Speaker 4: He's gonna do everything the right way. And so if

1845
01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:20,479
Speaker 4: he's talented enough, and by all accounts he is, then

1846
01:22:20,520 --> 01:22:22,599
Speaker 4: I think he will be very successful in this league.

1847
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:25,479
Speaker 2: The the feeling in Columbus was shocked that he left.

1848
01:22:26,120 --> 01:22:28,280
Speaker 2: The feeling in Columbus was that he was going to

1849
01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:31,200
Speaker 2: anchor their offensive line and that next year would have been,

1850
01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:34,120
Speaker 2: you know, a second round pick had he come back.

1851
01:22:34,240 --> 01:22:36,280
Speaker 2: I mean, that's kind of the way, you know, second

1852
01:22:36,280 --> 01:22:37,800
Speaker 2: third round pick is kind of what they thought he

1853
01:22:37,840 --> 01:22:39,200
Speaker 2: would be, and I think he thought he would be

1854
01:22:39,240 --> 01:22:45,200
Speaker 2: that now, quite honestly, And so that's theft in the

1855
01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:49,879
Speaker 2: sixth round if that transitions that way. But no, yeah,

1856
01:22:49,920 --> 01:22:51,960
Speaker 2: I'm happy to hear that because I know that it

1857
01:22:52,080 --> 01:22:55,240
Speaker 2: was very difficult for him that he wasn't drafted higher.

1858
01:22:56,200 --> 01:22:58,800
Speaker 2: But once you get over that disappointment, what it comes

1859
01:22:58,840 --> 01:23:01,519
Speaker 2: down to, I think is the fit, and this is

1860
01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:04,240
Speaker 2: the perfect fit for him. And if you think about

1861
01:23:04,240 --> 01:23:09,599
Speaker 2: what Bill Callahan has done with talented players at that position,

1862
01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:13,160
Speaker 2: the way that he coaches that position up specifically good Night.

1863
01:23:13,400 --> 01:23:15,120
Speaker 2: I mean, there is a lot going on there from

1864
01:23:15,120 --> 01:23:17,680
Speaker 2: a talent standpoint, So I love to hear that out

1865
01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:19,639
Speaker 2: of him. That's not surprising to me at all. Out

1866
01:23:19,640 --> 01:23:22,639
Speaker 2: of him. He feels like the guy from a talent standpoint,

1867
01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:26,840
Speaker 2: who could be somebody who's around for a while for

1868
01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:29,439
Speaker 2: us and potentially a starter at center for us down

1869
01:23:29,439 --> 01:23:32,320
Speaker 2: the line. For sure. He's got that in the pedigree.

1870
01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:32,800
Speaker 3: No doubt.

1871
01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:36,080
Speaker 4: And then his teammate Dwan Jones obviously stands out from

1872
01:23:36,080 --> 01:23:39,160
Speaker 4: his size, stands out from his power. He almost threw

1873
01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:42,560
Speaker 4: the sled kind of into the air, which was unbelievable

1874
01:23:42,600 --> 01:23:46,519
Speaker 4: to see live. But I think you know, one thing

1875
01:23:46,600 --> 01:23:48,760
Speaker 4: they talk about weight conditioning, all that he had to

1876
01:23:48,760 --> 01:23:51,280
Speaker 4: take a knee for a little while. He went and

1877
01:23:51,280 --> 01:23:53,680
Speaker 4: then did resume practicing, But you know, you want to

1878
01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:56,400
Speaker 4: see him be able to get through all of these

1879
01:23:56,439 --> 01:23:59,559
Speaker 4: things and be able to function at a high level

1880
01:23:59,560 --> 01:24:02,120
Speaker 4: throughout you know the course of this this rookie mini

1881
01:24:02,160 --> 01:24:05,640
Speaker 4: camp in this season. But he you can tell the

1882
01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:07,559
Speaker 4: strength and the power. It's gonna take some I think

1883
01:24:07,560 --> 01:24:10,080
Speaker 4: it's gonna take He's gonna have to commit to mastering

1884
01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:12,000
Speaker 4: the techniques, and I think Callahan's gonna be hard on

1885
01:24:12,080 --> 01:24:14,479
Speaker 4: him from what I saw and help him get there.

1886
01:24:14,840 --> 01:24:16,400
Speaker 3: The other thing is it's Siakika is just.

1887
01:24:16,360 --> 01:24:19,679
Speaker 4: A it's a monstrous human as well, just a big, big,

1888
01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:22,600
Speaker 4: low to the ground, strong guy, even though he's a

1889
01:24:22,600 --> 01:24:25,000
Speaker 4: lot taller than he seems. But good to see the

1890
01:24:25,040 --> 01:24:28,040
Speaker 4: Dwan's back out there. But yeah, the two things that

1891
01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:30,320
Speaker 4: straight out to me Tillman and Whippler, for sure.

1892
01:24:30,760 --> 01:24:33,280
Speaker 2: Did you can look at Hassan Hall, the undrafted running

1893
01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:34,439
Speaker 2: back out of Georgia Tech.

1894
01:24:34,840 --> 01:24:39,240
Speaker 4: Far away looks he looked. He's wearing thirty. He looked

1895
01:24:39,280 --> 01:24:41,600
Speaker 4: like like the earnest you know what I mean. He

1896
01:24:41,640 --> 01:24:43,960
Speaker 4: looked like he ran well, caught the ball naturally. But

1897
01:24:44,080 --> 01:24:46,000
Speaker 4: it wasn't you know, you weren't seeing him chased or

1898
01:24:46,320 --> 01:24:48,439
Speaker 4: anything like that. It was but from a distance he

1899
01:24:48,479 --> 01:24:48,880
Speaker 4: looked good.

1900
01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:53,240
Speaker 7: So Matt Waldman from the Rookie Scouting Portfolio, Yeah, did

1901
01:24:53,280 --> 01:24:56,800
Speaker 7: a big ride up on him after we signed him.

1902
01:24:56,800 --> 01:24:58,880
Speaker 7: Even though it was official today, I guess it's been

1903
01:24:58,920 --> 01:24:59,880
Speaker 7: known for a few days.

1904
01:25:01,439 --> 01:25:02,599
Speaker 5: He did a big breakdown.

1905
01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:04,320
Speaker 7: He's going to join us next week, but he's in

1906
01:25:04,320 --> 01:25:06,880
Speaker 7: love with him and he said he goes, you've got

1907
01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:10,639
Speaker 7: your replacement for Dearnest and possibly Kareem Hunt as well.

1908
01:25:12,680 --> 01:25:15,240
Speaker 7: Very very high on the running back out of Georgia Tech.

1909
01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:17,360
Speaker 3: But the Browns are gonna have He.

1910
01:25:17,320 --> 01:25:20,280
Speaker 2: Was high on Chubb, right, wasn't that Well, Chubb was.

1911
01:25:20,280 --> 01:25:21,920
Speaker 3: The best best running back in that draft.

1912
01:25:21,960 --> 01:25:25,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, look, we are going to have to be good

1913
01:25:26,080 --> 01:25:32,160
Speaker 4: in and cap savvy in certain places on this roster

1914
01:25:32,320 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 4: to be able to do some of the other things. So, yes,

1915
01:25:36,680 --> 01:25:39,280
Speaker 4: that makes sense that you know you're paying right now

1916
01:25:39,320 --> 01:25:43,040
Speaker 4: a big penny to Nick Chubb, that the rest of

1917
01:25:43,040 --> 01:25:45,760
Speaker 4: that room's got to be relatively cheap, and so it

1918
01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:49,080
Speaker 4: feels like if this guy can do the job, that

1919
01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:51,720
Speaker 4: would be a great thing for the for the Browns.

1920
01:25:52,400 --> 01:25:56,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it certainly would. Tillman in eighty nine.

1921
01:25:57,760 --> 01:26:00,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, so people are going nuts about this, and maybe

1922
01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:03,320
Speaker 4: I'm a maybe I'm a buffoon. Maybe I don't know.

1923
01:26:03,400 --> 01:26:04,760
Speaker 4: I don't see what the big deal is that he's

1924
01:26:04,760 --> 01:26:07,640
Speaker 4: wearing eighty nine. People are going absolutely.

1925
01:26:08,160 --> 01:26:10,959
Speaker 2: I think some on social are I gotta.

1926
01:26:10,720 --> 01:26:12,639
Speaker 3: Get rid of that number. It's a terrible number.

1927
01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:17,599
Speaker 4: So we all know Steve Smith, right, Yeah, Steve Smith

1928
01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:23,639
Speaker 4: was a great eighty nine Doug Baldwin was an excellent

1929
01:26:23,680 --> 01:26:26,280
Speaker 4: eighty nine. James Jones was a good eighty nine. Santana

1930
01:26:26,320 --> 01:26:29,920
Speaker 4: Moss wore eighty nine, and then on our roster. I

1931
01:26:29,960 --> 01:26:31,760
Speaker 4: don't know how many people remember this, but I do.

1932
01:26:32,760 --> 01:26:36,439
Speaker 4: That's what Amari Cooper wore when he was drafted his

1933
01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:37,479
Speaker 4: entire Raiders career.

1934
01:26:37,520 --> 01:26:38,280
Speaker 3: He was eighty nine.

1935
01:26:38,760 --> 01:26:40,880
Speaker 4: Andre bad Moon Rising was eighty nine.

1936
01:26:41,920 --> 01:26:42,680
Speaker 3: There's eight nine.

1937
01:26:43,320 --> 01:26:44,160
Speaker 2: I thought he was eighty.

1938
01:26:45,080 --> 01:26:47,320
Speaker 4: He was eighty as well, but he also wore eighty nine.

1939
01:26:47,400 --> 01:26:49,240
Speaker 4: There are It's not a terrible number.

1940
01:26:49,600 --> 01:26:51,960
Speaker 2: No. I think the thing to remember here is there's

1941
01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:53,559
Speaker 2: a couple of things that the NFL is going to happen.

1942
01:26:53,560 --> 01:26:55,240
Speaker 4: I'm not saying it to be permanent, by the way,

1943
01:26:55,400 --> 01:26:55,680
Speaker 4: but I.

1944
01:26:55,720 --> 01:26:58,000
Speaker 2: Will say but also, there's not a lot of options.

1945
01:26:58,120 --> 01:27:00,600
Speaker 2: So we know that Stefans he will not give a

1946
01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:03,599
Speaker 2: single digit to a rookie. For whatever reason. He won't

1947
01:27:03,640 --> 01:27:05,800
Speaker 2: do that. So that's his policy. He won't do it.

1948
01:27:06,160 --> 01:27:10,120
Speaker 2: So the only single digit that's available is six, and

1949
01:27:10,280 --> 01:27:11,760
Speaker 2: like I said, he's not going to give that. That

1950
01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:14,639
Speaker 2: could be maybe Rodney McLeod's gonna wear six. Who knows

1951
01:27:14,680 --> 01:27:15,760
Speaker 2: what happens on that.

1952
01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:19,400
Speaker 4: Did j ok what did j ok wear in college?

1953
01:27:21,840 --> 01:27:24,040
Speaker 2: It's single? I can't remember what it was. Did me

1954
01:27:24,120 --> 01:27:25,000
Speaker 2: ask about six?

1955
01:27:25,720 --> 01:27:26,080
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1956
01:27:26,120 --> 01:27:29,679
Speaker 4: But six was spoken for? And then I maybe maybe

1957
01:27:29,760 --> 01:27:31,360
Speaker 4: this year he gets a chance to move to it.

1958
01:27:32,439 --> 01:27:34,080
Speaker 2: I know he's a rookie. Yeah, that's right. Six At

1959
01:27:34,120 --> 01:27:35,880
Speaker 2: the time it was spoken for, But I remember he

1960
01:27:35,880 --> 01:27:38,200
Speaker 2: would they wouldn't let him wear a I just remember

1961
01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:39,880
Speaker 2: from building the Browns. They wouldn't let him wear a

1962
01:27:39,880 --> 01:27:40,439
Speaker 2: single digit.

1963
01:27:41,160 --> 01:27:42,639
Speaker 3: Yeah he was six in college.

1964
01:27:43,160 --> 01:27:45,840
Speaker 4: Okay, j okay, So maybe they will maybe this year

1965
01:27:45,880 --> 01:27:48,400
Speaker 4: they would consider allowing him to do so.

1966
01:27:48,840 --> 01:27:50,320
Speaker 2: Well, the thing you have to be careful of, though,

1967
01:27:50,360 --> 01:27:54,080
Speaker 2: is if you make all those jerseys, well, that's the thing, right,

1968
01:27:54,120 --> 01:27:57,160
Speaker 2: you can't do that flip the buyout and all the

1969
01:27:57,200 --> 01:27:58,200
Speaker 2: things that come along with that.

1970
01:27:58,439 --> 01:27:59,559
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, you're exactly right.

1971
01:27:59,640 --> 01:28:03,519
Speaker 2: So six is available, Yeah, the only other and then

1972
01:28:03,560 --> 01:28:05,599
Speaker 2: you go the teens. Since the NFL opened up wide,

1973
01:28:05,600 --> 01:28:09,360
Speaker 2: receivers can wear teens. Fourteen is retired for auto and

1974
01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:11,800
Speaker 2: then that's it. So the only single digit or team

1975
01:28:11,840 --> 01:28:12,920
Speaker 2: that's available is six.

1976
01:28:13,640 --> 01:28:14,040
Speaker 5: That's it.

1977
01:28:14,360 --> 01:28:16,720
Speaker 2: Everything else is spoken for. And the problem here is

1978
01:28:16,880 --> 01:28:20,240
Speaker 2: right now the NFL is requiring kickers and punters to

1979
01:28:20,240 --> 01:28:23,920
Speaker 2: wear single digits are teens. If since they opened up

1980
01:28:23,920 --> 01:28:26,120
Speaker 2: single digits to everybody else, they've got to put the

1981
01:28:26,479 --> 01:28:29,879
Speaker 2: kickers and punters allow them to wear numbers in the forties,

1982
01:28:30,120 --> 01:28:31,240
Speaker 2: and then you're solved.

1983
01:28:31,760 --> 01:28:34,720
Speaker 3: Agreed. That's sort of thing I would The other thing

1984
01:28:34,720 --> 01:28:35,639
Speaker 3: I would say is.

1985
01:28:38,720 --> 01:28:40,360
Speaker 4: The number that I didn't like the most out of

1986
01:28:40,360 --> 01:28:43,400
Speaker 4: the ones that we saw, to me was the Siaki

1987
01:28:43,439 --> 01:28:47,760
Speaker 4: e Gun sixty two, like who's been who's a sixty two?

1988
01:28:47,800 --> 01:28:51,280
Speaker 2: Sixty two is tough. That feels like a guard only.

1989
01:28:51,720 --> 01:28:52,679
Speaker 3: Fill's offense line.

1990
01:28:52,680 --> 01:28:57,719
Speaker 4: So the best players, you've got a Guy MacIntyre, sure,

1991
01:28:58,360 --> 01:28:59,360
Speaker 4: tunch Ilkin.

1992
01:28:59,439 --> 01:29:06,880
Speaker 3: Gibbe yephf Legend, Yeah, Joe Toney, yeah, Evan Dietrich Smith.

1993
01:29:06,880 --> 01:29:09,400
Speaker 3: These are the names that I even recognize our guards.

1994
01:29:09,720 --> 01:29:11,639
