Speaker 1: This is the Coach Kevin Stefanski Show. Like I've said

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: you guys from the beginning, we're just control when we

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 1: can control. I understand that this is a process and

4
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: I'll continue to make decisions with the information that I have.

5
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: Tonight you'll find out how the Browns are prepping for

6
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: the season at team headquarters in Barria. You're listening to

7
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: the University Hospitals Cleveland Browns Radio Network. Here are your hosts,

8
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: Snathan Ziggura and Geron Jerry. Good Evening and welcome into

9
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: the Kevin Stefanski Show on the University Hospitals Cleveland Brown's

10
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: Radio Network. Nathansagura and the three time, three time, three

11
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: time Super Bowl champion Gerard Cherry, the sideline reporter for

12
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: your Cleveland Browns and Gerard, the fifty three is set.

13
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: We had the initial fifty three come out on Tuesday.

14
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: One waiver claim made by the Browns as they brought

15
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: in quarterback Kellen Mond. They released Isaac Rochelle. He is

16
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: back though on the Browns practice squad. So the fifty

17
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: three as of now is set to get ready to

18
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: go to Carolina and take on the Panthers on September.

19
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: The eleven. So let's just talk right now real quickly.

20
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: Initial impressions of the fifty three man roster, Well, I'm

21
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: impressed by the fact it's actually five for offense versus defense,

22
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: and then you have your three special teams players with

23
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: your kicker, punter, and long snapper. Because I just knew

24
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: Nathan it was gonna be a situation with Kevin Stefanski

25
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: being a offensive minded head coach, that it would be

26
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: a situation with him calling plays obviously that we have

27
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: more offensive players because a lot of time times and

28
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Kevin is a guy it does this,

29
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: but sometimes coaches abuse that power when they're more offensively

30
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: oriented in their play decision making and things of that nature.

31
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: So they have it balanced. Was interesting for me because

32
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: I had a feeling it would be more than that

33
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: on the offensive side. So that was one thing that

34
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: definitely stood out to me, and it actually dried. Was

35
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: twenty four offense twenty six defense. Skewed to your side

36
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: of the ball before they made that waiver claim on

37
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: Kellyn mind and I think when we looked at it

38
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: and you say to yourself, okay, six defensive ends, that

39
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 1: was a position where you knew maybe a change could come.

40
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: You look at ten offensive lineman. I thought that was

41
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: a spot where maybe the Browns would be able to

42
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: make a move as well. How surprised were you that

43
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: there are only two tight ends on the fifty three

44
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: David Joku and Harrison Bryan. Very surprised because typically you

45
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: keep three because you never know what's gonna happen the

46
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: course of the game. But at the same time, when

47
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: you consider what we were dealing with during the course

48
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: of this season, preseason, that is, no guy really stood

49
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: out and took it, took the bull by the horn,

50
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: if you will, and control that position. But fortunate enough

51
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: to some of the guys, as you are aware, got

52
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 1: brought back to the practice squad and they'll get opportunity

53
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: to try to make the three man roster. But that

54
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: also may be a tailtale sign that this idea of

55
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: us running thirteen personnel, for sure, it's gonna be out

56
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: the window and we will shore run twelve personnel. For

57
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 1: those who wonder what that means, one running back in

58
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: two tight ends, that's obviously a probability because I think,

59
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: if anything, Nathan, We're gonna be in that more so

60
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: than anything because at the end of day in my mind,

61
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: because I'm looking at the receiver position as well, and

62
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: what we did not do there is that you're gonna

63
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: see Bryant, you're gonna seeing Joku, and you're gonna see

64
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: a lot of Cooper getting the majority of the balls

65
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: passed their way. I think you're right. And one thing

66
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: that I think the Browns are going to take advantage

67
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: of our the updated practice squad rules for two. So

68
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: to your point, yes, they have Njoku and they have

69
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: Harrison Bryant on the fifty three, but they brought back

70
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: Tight and Miller Foresol as well as Tight and Zeire

71
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: Mitchell Paydon on the practice squad. Now you can elevate

72
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: a player from the practice squad to your game day

73
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: roster through three times before you have to subject them

74
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: to waivers, so three free ads. So the Browns basically

75
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: could have a third tight end or even four on

76
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: the active roster if you had one of them for

77
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: the first six weeks without having to do anything to

78
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: their quote unquote fifty three. So I think the Browns

79
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: right there and Andrew Barry and Paul de Podeston, Kevin

80
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: sa fan Scheme are being smart about it. For example,

81
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: Tid Miller's on our practice squad. Play a little chess

82
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: her Miller's on our practice squad. It wouldn't surprise me

83
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: all if he is active for a week one because

84
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: he's our best gunner. So they're gonna use what they

85
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: have on that practice squad to be a part of

86
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: that active roster and take advantage. I think of some

87
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: of those rules you brought up the wide receivers, no

88
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: moves were made at wide receiver um. The Browns will

89
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: go into the season with six wide receivers a Marii Cooper, Donovan,

90
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: People's Jones, David Bell, Anthony Schwartz, Mike Woods, and then

91
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: Dmitrich Felton is called a running back I think because

92
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: of the number he wears, but he actually is a

93
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver. So six wide receivers there, it's still a

94
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: room while you've got six guys. It's not a room

95
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: that you feel may be is completed and certainly not

96
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: a home run or one of the elite rooms around

97
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: the league. But if you're gonna be in a lot

98
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: of twelve personnel, it's a lot of two receivers on

99
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: the field, you'll be in some eleven, which is three

100
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: receivers on the field. What do you make of this room?

101
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: How confident are you? And what do you need to

102
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: see in the first few weeks of the season, let's say,

103
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: to get you comfortable with this room. Well, I need

104
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: to see what I did not really see in the preseason.

105
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,679
Speaker 1: I need to see guys step up at the position.

106
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: I need to see guys take command of the opportunity

107
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: that they have. It just can't be though it will

108
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: be for the most part, with the opportunities thrown their

109
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: way at Cooper and Joco and Bryant, But I need

110
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: diamond people's jones to assume that role and not just

111
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: be considered. Well, he's a two B A one A

112
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: B A one B. Great opportunity for you and for

113
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: sports and for Bill the same thing applies as well.

114
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: And would you you made the squad Essentially you did

115
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: great week one of training camp, but after that due

116
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: to the injury, and we understand that you weren't playing anymore.

117
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: But you can't rest on that. Please don't do that.

118
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: And he he has to have them for for his mind,

119
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: here's a great opportunity for me to assume that three spot.

120
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: It's wide open right now. In the wide receiver room

121
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: for guys who can get the opportunity to elevate themselves

122
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: on his roster or be demoted. So if I'm in

123
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: that room, I'm supporting my teammates and all that and

124
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: all that entails, but at the same time, I have

125
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 1: to be thinking what am I going to do to

126
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: make sure that they see that I'm consistent that I

127
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: want to go out there and make plays. And I

128
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: could be that pleasant surprise because right now I'm telling you,

129
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: defensive backs are not fearing our are They're not fearing

130
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: our receiver room. They're not And on how you change that.

131
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: Sports has to start running by guys and consistently catching

132
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 1: the football. That will help the cause. And Bell and

133
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: Jones obviously to just have to start making plays, but

134
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 1: they haven't done it yet. They're improven, so they have

135
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: to go out there and obviously prove themselves. Yeah, I

136
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: think Anthony Schwartz, we'd all agree, is the key because

137
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: of that vertical speed and there was a rough preseason.

138
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: He's been great in practice. He's got to be able

139
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: to take that to the field and that will be

140
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 1: something that I know the Browns certainly will be keeping

141
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: an eye on as this season progresses. I want to

142
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 1: talk about maybe one of the best stories of the

143
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: initial fifty three man roster, the Anthony Bell. Twenty five

144
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: year old rookie, was out of football for a while,

145
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: wins a national championship at West Florida, who just started

146
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: their football program in two thousand and sixteen. He wins

147
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: a national title in two thousand nineteen. He's the first

148
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: player from West Florida ever to be in the NFL,

149
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: and you know, goes to the Shrine Bowl, meets Jeff Howard.

150
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: They have a bond. He comes here and to break

151
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: in as an underrafted free agent in that safety room

152
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: when you've got John Johnson, Delpet Harrison and then Rich

153
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: Account who was drafted last year, you know, that was

154
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: a daunting thing. But it was his belief in himself,

155
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: his belief in Jeff Howard. He comes here, he's basically

156
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: from day one, and it's one of those things you

157
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: have guys who flash early in camp and then it

158
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: fades as it goes on. That was not the case.

159
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: Forces two fumbles in the preseason. He's the second oldest

160
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: defensive back on the roster, even though he's a rookie.

161
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: Which is hilarious. It's just an unbelievable story. Gerald And

162
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: and if you think about I mean, it really is

163
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: a one in a million. He's the first underrafted free

164
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: agent to make a Browns team under Kevin Stefansky and

165
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: Andrew Berry, the first. It's just a wild story. Yeah,

166
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: And I love every element of the story. I love

167
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: the fact and I and if you think about Nathan

168
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: the maturity of being twenty five as opposed to twenty two,

169
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: it makes a huge difference and how he approaches the

170
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: game with that consistency that I keep talking about with

171
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: our other younger players that play receiver, this idea of

172
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: being consistent and understanding the opportunity and what it represents.

173
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: And yes, it is one heck of a story. And

174
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: we need these type of stories. And you want these

175
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: type of guys on your roster from a culture standpoint

176
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: as well, because these are the type of guys who

177
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: are not gonna take it for granted. You hope, and

178
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 1: with him, what you saw on a regular basis being

179
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: that training camp practices or in the games making plays

180
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 1: and even last week the defense had a rough effort,

181
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: but he was just a step away from blocking a

182
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: punt and all he had to do was do with

183
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: proper technique and he would have had that block punt.

184
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: And then if you look at what he also did

185
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: on special teams beyond the blocking the punts with Gunner,

186
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: he did that well and he almost had a couple

187
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: of plays in the tackles for Laws. So I'm very

188
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: encouraged by what he's been able to complish, because when

189
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: you think about it, no one in their right mind

190
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 1: should come here. There's an undrafted free agent trying to

191
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: crack the lineup because it's just that deep. But to

192
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: his credit, this speaks violins about what type of man

193
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: he is and what type of player he can be.

194
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: So I'm very excited about him, and I'm looking forward

195
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: to seeing how his career plays itself out, even though

196
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: he's a twenty five year old rookie. It is an

197
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 1: incredible story and an exciting story, certainly for de Anthony Bell.

198
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: And so the Browns just real quickly for those if

199
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: you haven't seen at the initial fifty three and now

200
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: current fifty three. As we sit here today on Thursday,

201
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 1: ten days out from the season openers, seven days out

202
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: from the opener of the NFL season, which is exciting.

203
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: One week from today we will have real NFL football.

204
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: The Browns will have three quarterbacks on their fifty three

205
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: as of now, Jacobi Brissette, Josh Dobbs, and Kellen Mond,

206
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: who has claimed off of waivers. Mind is a third

207
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: round pick in last year's draft of the Minnesota Vikings

208
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: was at Texas A and m Ory became one of

209
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 1: three quarterbacks in SEC history to have more than nine

210
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: thousand yards passing and fifty underd yards rushing in their careers.

211
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: The Browns have the four great running backs, Chubb Hunt,

212
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: Deernest Johnson, and Jerome Ford, the six receivers we talked

213
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: about earlier, the two tight ends we talked about earlier,

214
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: n Joku and Harrison Brian, and then rounding out the offense,

215
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: ten offensive lineman and jerod Were you surprised by that

216
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: number ten offensive lineman. No, I'm surprised. It wasn't more

217
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: than anything, especially that's what we experienced last year. Think

218
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: about how I depth just got disinvowed last year and

219
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: how we were just struggling to find guys and had

220
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: guys playing multiple different positions. So for me, no, at

221
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: ten make it. I mean what we went through last year.

222
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: I would not have an issue of it being more

223
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: be honest with you, because that really the strength of

224
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: our football team was off as a line, and it

225
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: got decimated last season. So that does not surprise me

226
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: at all. So the ten lineman, you're five starters, of course,

227
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: Wills Beatonio, Ethan Postic, Wyatt, Teller, Jack Conklin, your backups,

228
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: Chris Hubbard, James Hudson at the tackle spots. Michael Dunn's

229
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: your backup center. You've got yelled the fro Holt and

230
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: and Drew Forbes who made the team. Also a pretty

231
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: wild story. Forbes sixth round pick, opts out in twenty

232
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: for COVID, comes back in get gets hurt, misses the

233
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: entire season, comes back this year and makes this football team.

234
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,719
Speaker 1: That's a great story. So that's your ten twenty five

235
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: on offense, defense, five defensive ends. Now you've got your

236
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: big three in Miles Clowney and Alex Right, Chase Winovich

237
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 1: and then Isaiah Thomas who you drafted. Your four defensive ends, uh,

238
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: Tommy togy I, perry On Winfrey, and your starters Jordan

239
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: Elliott and Taven Brian. Six linebackers. And here's another fun

240
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: story in this one. You got your four starters, Anthony Walker,

241
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: j Ok, Jacob PHILLIPSONI Taki Taki, Tony Fields you drafted

242
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 1: last year, makes it. And then Jordan Kunashak, who joined

243
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: this team two weeks ago of Cal Golden Bear. A

244
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: heck of a nice kid too, by the way, I've

245
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 1: gotten a chance to talk to him, uh quite a bit.

246
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: And he just made every play, was in the right place,

247
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: learned the defense quickly, didn't miss tackles. That's a cool story.

248
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: Guy who's been in the league for three years bouncing

249
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: around on special teams with Caroline and the Washington football

250
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: team now may have found a home here with the

251
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns exactly. And I remember actually when he pulled

252
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: up to the facility, I was like DoD we bringing

253
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: another tight end. Turns out he was a linebacker and

254
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: to his credit, guys on the right spots. And in

255
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: his situation, what do you want to do? You want

256
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: to show up and show out on special teams and Nathan,

257
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: every time you turn on the special team's coverage kick,

258
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: he's around the ball or making the tackle. That's exactly

259
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: what they needed to do. And on defense he made

260
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: plays as well. So if there is some type of

261
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: a issue where you need to have a guy to

262
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: go in, he knows where to be and getting around

263
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: the football. So that only helped his cause. So that

264
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: is a heck of a story as well, because he

265
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: was a late, late addition, as you just described to

266
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: our training camp. It's one of those situations. The more

267
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: you can do in real quickly. Ten defensive backs, five corners,

268
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: Denzel Ward, Uh Greedy Williams, Greg Knew Some MJ Emerson,

269
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: A J. Green, and then the five safeties for the

270
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: Browns the three I mentioned earlier, John Grant, Ronnie rich

271
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,239
Speaker 1: Account and d Anthony Bell and the specialist Cory Behrns.

272
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: Your kicker Kade York. You're long snapper Charlie Hewlett. Those

273
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: are the initial fifty three four your Cleveland Browns with fans.

284
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: the Kevin Stefanski Show on the University Hospitals Cleveland Brown's

285
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: radio network. For me, I'm just trying to make the

286
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: right decision for each of our players. This is the

287
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: Coach Kevin Stefanski Show. You're listening to the University Hospitals

288
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns radio Network. Here are your hosts, Nathan Stakura

289
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: and Gerond Cherry. Welcome back into the Kevin Stefanski Show,

290
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 1: all along the University Hospital Cleveland Brown's radio network. And

291
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 1: now we talk with the man for whom the show

292
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: is named. Coach. You've got the initial initial fifty three,

293
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: but I will call it the current fifty three. Just

294
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 1: walk us through what's this process like, because there are

295
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: obviously very hard decisions when you've got a good football team.

296
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: It's you know, it really is a process. And where

297
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: we land at the end of when it, you know,

298
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: we finally announced it. It's not necessarily how you felt

299
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: back in June. Things change, Players play themselves on or

300
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: play themselves off in some cases. So it was a

301
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: very very competitive training camp. Really pleased with how the

302
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: guys performed. Uh, and then, like you said, I mean,

303
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: it was some tough decisions. It really is, and you're

304
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: trying to weigh positionally how many guys to keep. You're

305
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: trying to have an eye towards the future while obviously

306
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: understanding that now is really important. So it's a process.

307
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: I give Andrew and his crew a ton of credit.

308
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: We have a lot of meetings as as a full organization,

309
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: really weekly and talk about the positions and talk about

310
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: some of those decisions and and talk through it. And

311
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: then ultimately I think Andrew does a great job. He

312
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: communicates what he's thinking and why he's thinking it. And then, uh,

313
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: he is responsible for putting nothing together, like do you

314
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: make your own fifty three? He makes a fifty three,

315
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: and then you guys kind of talk about it. I

316
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: know that you're working together the whole time, but as

317
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: they're kind of like where everybody or you know, each

318
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: position coach puts together what they would like their room

319
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: to look like, and things like that. I'm sure everybody

320
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: does mentally for sure. Uh No, Andrew and I sit

321
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: down and put the depth chart up and talk and say,

322
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: you know, what do you think here? What do I

323
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: think there? And and just come to an agreement. And

324
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: I think you you challenge each other, you certain you

325
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: have to. I think it's it's our responsibility to push

326
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: uh and and question and those type of things. But

327
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you walk out of

328
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: that room and you're in lockstep. So when that initial

329
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: fifty three came out before four o'clock, very kind of

330
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: you guys to get that done before four o'clock. How

331
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: many were there, like three fifty three's that it could

332
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: have been, and then this was the one that landed

333
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: or was it always kind of streamlined right to that one?

334
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: I don't remember. Um, yeah, I think it's it's really

335
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: there's always a few spots that you're really talking through.

336
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: There's always a few spots that for the last two

337
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: weeks you're kind of discussing different options and and sometimes again,

338
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: these are good discussions. It's not like you're screaming at

339
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: each other across the room. You just really want to

340
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: talk through and make as best as decision as you

341
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: can with the information you have available to you. But

342
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: there's some really tough points because you'd love to keep everybody.

343
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: If it was a fifties seven man roster, it would

344
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: be a lot easier, but it's fifty three and it's

345
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: hard to get to it. All right, I'm talking to

346
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: you day one of O T A S is hypothetical.

347
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: Would it have been more shocking to you that your

348
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: initial fifty three and current fifty three would have two

349
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: tight ends on it, or that d Anthony Bell would

350
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: make this team? Yeah? I think would Neither would have

351
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: surprised me. And I say that because d Anthony is

352
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: a guy that we're really excited about when we're able

353
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: to add him post draft. He was somebody that we

354
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: knew a lot about going into the draft, had done

355
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: our homework on him, had a relationship with him. So

356
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: he was definitely somebody that was identified and felt like

357
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: he would play well. So that didn't surprise me. And

358
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,479
Speaker 1: then when it pertains to the tight ends, I mean,

359
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: it's no different than every position. You're just trying to

360
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 1: make the best decisions you can with the information available.

361
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 1: So UH feel really strongly about Dave and Harry, I

362
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: feel really good about Miller Forstall and our practice squad. Um,

363
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 1: it's not an indictment of him. It's just kind of

364
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: where we are with our roster and by the ways

365
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 1: I am Mitchell Paydon is a unit that is a

366
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: wealth constructed human being. Yeah, you and a young player

367
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: who got a lot of reps in the preseason and

368
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: and will continue to improve that we wanted him on

369
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: our practice squad. We see a developmental player there. How

370
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: much do the new rules and you guys strike me

371
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: as individuals that will take advantage of every nuance that

372
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: you can use to your advantage. That you can elevate

373
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: a guy off the practice squad three times, so in essence,

374
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: the guys on your practice water are actually kind of

375
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: on your roster for three weeks. Yeah, it's it's It

376
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: is an interesting rule. We've used it a lot in

377
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: last year, especially with COVID, but even without COVID, you

378
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: found ways to keep guys on your practice squad that

379
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,439
Speaker 1: you knew were certainly capable of playing on Sundays, but

380
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: you were kind of hiding them there, knowing that you

381
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: had three elevations and trying to be smart about when

382
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,479
Speaker 1: you made those elevations and then all of a sudden,

383
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: as we all know, injuries happen, so you have that

384
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: player ready to step in. So it definitely plays a role.

385
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: I think it plays a factor moving forward with the

386
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: current rules as they are, because in some ways it's

387
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: not so much everybody's focused on it. I had to

388
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: bring it up. Obviously, two tight ends on the fifty.

389
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: There are four in the program, and all four if

390
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 1: you wanted to be active week one in Carolina could

391
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 1: be so in essence, they are, but they're not right. Yes,

392
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: that's exactly right, so we'll see how it plays out

393
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: week one. But yeah, you have optionality now with who

394
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: you're able to bring up for the practice squad, and

395
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: that's probably a cool thing because that's another part of

396
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,719
Speaker 1: game plan specific There may be certain teams where we

397
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 1: have needs that are different than other teams, and that

398
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: allows you with this flexibility. That probably was one of

399
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: the best things. Having i R people be able to

400
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: turn on I R I think made a ton of sense.

401
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: And I think this makes a ton of sense. They're

402
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: in your program, so you should be able to utilize them,

403
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: and it just makes it fun I think week to week.

404
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: So that's where the puzzle comes into it, and a

405
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: lot of conversations with Andrew and the coaches, coaching staff

406
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: and figuring out what we need game to game because

407
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: then the other the next part is getting the roster

408
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: down to forty eight for game day. So uh so

409
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 1: you're gonna not gonna be able to dress everybody. So

410
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 1: it's a bit of a puzzle. But really it is

411
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: so game plan specific and how we put that together.

412
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: So as as an offensive coach and you're the head coach,

413
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: you're presiding over everything. Now you're back to a balance.

414
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: It can change, obviously we know that it will. Is

415
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: that something that is really thought about that much, not

416
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: at all, not um no, just kind of looking at

417
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: it and give us just the best players. Yeah, all right,

418
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: this week it's kind of unique week. It's not a

419
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: full on week that you would normally have, like, for example,

420
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: you have a bye week if you had it, you know,

421
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: two weeks to prepare for an opponent. And while you

422
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 1: don't even not looking towards Caroline the whole time, is

423
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: this week interesting? Is it always has the fact that

424
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,719
Speaker 1: the fifty three comes out now the week before, how

425
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: does it kind of change? What this week actually is. Yeah,

426
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: this week's unique. I think we experienced this last year.

427
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: Did not experience this in twenty just because of no preseason,

428
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: but definitely experienced it last year. And there's certain things

429
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: that we found last year that we really liked and

430
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: kind of kept uh in the same vein, if you will.

431
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: This season. Just felt like this was a good week

432
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: to really drill down back into the fundamentals. You're through

433
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: your preseason games, you're not yet into true game plan,

434
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: you're not handing the players a game plan just yet.

435
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: So it's for us. We came back to the basics,

436
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: and that's in the meeting room, that's in the weight room,

437
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: that's out in the practice field. And I just don't

438
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: think there's any shortage of drill work, individual drill work,

439
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: two minute drills, red zone work. We just tried to

440
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 1: really sharpen up our our techniques, sharpen up what we're

441
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: doing schematically. And you can do that and not be

442
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: on the field for two hours. You can do that

443
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: in an hour's time if the guys work really hard,

444
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: and they did so that's what I was really pleased

445
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: with this week. I thought we had four solid work days,

446
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 1: uh and then let them get a little breath of

447
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 1: fresh air, you know, take a breath, recharge the battery,

448
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: and then get going on Monday. So will you guys

449
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: kind of formulate this game plan over the weekend and

450
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: when they come back, that's when they'll get it, you will.

451
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: I mean the truth is when the schedule comes out,

452
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: you start working on that opponent right then and there.

453
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: So we've spent a lot of time on Carolina really

454
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: going all the way back to whatever that was May. Uh,

455
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: and then throughout training camp you're watching their preseason games

456
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 1: and getting prepared. So we're, uh, we're on track. We'll

457
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: have that game plan ready, we're ahead of it, so

458
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: we we've it's not like there's more tape coming in,

459
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: so we've gotten a lot of work done. But I

460
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: still still want to stay as true to our routine

461
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: as you can. So what I don't want to do

462
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,479
Speaker 1: is hand the players a game plan before they go

463
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 1: on Labor Day weekend break and and you know, they forget,

464
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: forget all of it over the weekend. So they'll they'll

465
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 1: get they'll get in earnest a game plan uh next

466
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: week when they come back from an availability standpoint, do

467
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 1: feel good that you will have your full compliment available

468
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: for week one. Yes. Yeah, I think all the injuries

469
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,479
Speaker 1: that guys are working through are progressing nicely. All right,

470
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett has to me and I you're around him

471
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: certainly much more. To me. Seems to have a different

472
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: vibe about him, and he seems to be performing at

473
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: a level that I've never seen before. And I've seen

474
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 1: him be at a level that I'd previously never seen before.

475
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: As do you agree with that? Is that a fair

476
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: thing to say? I mean, yes, he's locked in. He's very,

477
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: very difficult to block and practice. It's almost almost a

478
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 1: little disruptive. There's some days where I need to just

479
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: hold him out and let's let's practice keep going on.

480
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: But you know, I don't want to single him out.

481
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: But he's he's locked he's he's ready to go. Describe

482
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: if you can. You know, the play caller quarterback relationship

483
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: is a very important one and very special one. It's

484
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 1: often a very collaborative one. Describe your relationship with Jacoby. Yeah,

485
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: it's been great. As everybody who knows Jacoby and is

486
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 1: getting to know Jacoby, he's uh, he's a very easy

487
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 1: going he's very very intelligent. Uh, he's an awesome leader.

488
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 1: So for me, I get to sit with him in

489
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: a lot of meetings and we get to talk a

490
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: lot of ball. And he's been in different systems systems

491
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: that I've been in, so we can kind of speak

492
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: the same language. But ultimately, I think he has a

493
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: really good grasp of what we want to do, who

494
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 1: we want to be uh, And I think we in

495
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: turn kind of understand what his strength, how to maximize

496
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 1: his ability. But really pleased with where Jacoby is. I

497
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: know that Labor Day is a football coach, is of

498
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: work day. Do you have any Labor Day traditions or

499
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: anything you'd like to do with the family or is

500
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: it not impossible? I tell the players will be laboring

501
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: on Labor Day, so it's it's it's a very important holiday,

502
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. But for us, we're working and

503
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: we'll reap the fruits of that labor in Carolina. Coach,

504
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: thank you so much for the time and best of

Speaker 1: we're buying anything. Also feel really it's cool now is

527
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 1: the favorite. You obviously have a different opinion. You don't

528
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: have to take say things like that Ohio State is

529
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: the favorite in the situation. What's the mentality for the

530
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: Buckeyes here at the shoe under the lights. Yeah, I

531
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: mean we didn't. We didn't make the points for it.

532
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: But we're just going in and taking a game at

533
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: the time and going in and beat un order to day.

534
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 1: So you did play Notre Dame in your freshman year

535
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 1: when freshman year, yea, got the win, got the point.

536
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 1: You never got the opportunity, didn't need the opportunity, didn't

537
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: If you did, though, you would have won by far,

538
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 1: by far for sure. Okay, all right, okay, who wins

539
00:25:55,880 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 1: in a fight? Touchdown Jesus, Prudence, the black Eye. Come on,

540
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 1: but I don't even First of all, I only got

541
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: to go to touchdown Jesus, like I can just I

542
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 1: can get them. I can give him the grotto, the

543
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: grotto or knock him out the part. You know, I

544
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: can go, I go grotto and we would call it

545
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 1: order basilica either one. You know, we got nice, spacilic

546
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: nice specifically, you know, we got some stuff over there. Okay,

547
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 1: some historical places we proved, we prove which school has

548
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: the best tradition? What's your best tradition at Notre Dame

549
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: best tradition? There's no really no best because I think

550
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: best is like subjective, you know what I mean, Like

551
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: depending on what you value, Like if you value spirituality,

552
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: the best tradition, maybe going to the grotto, But if

553
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: you buy football, the push ups after everybody scores, maybe

554
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: the best tradition. So for me, you know, I'm kind

555
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: of in between. So I think the best tradition would

556
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,479
Speaker 1: probably be you know, a little bit of both push ups,

557
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 1: push ups in the grotto. That's probably bad man. Okay,

558
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to combine your favorite the best tradition

559
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 1: of Ohio State. I'm gonna say the band. We got

560
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 1: the best band in the land. So I haven't got

561
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: to see it as much when I was out there playing.

562
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: So if I could get back this week, I'll enjoy

563
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: being able to go back and watch the watch the

564
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: best band in the land. Are you guys gonna be

565
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: in attendency either whatever, I'm gonna trying to get down there.

566
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: You know, they're playing with them tickets right now. But

567
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 1: you know it's cool I'm gonna go. A man of

568
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: your stature, they don't just invite you back, come hang

569
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: out on the sidelines. I'm gonna take my books out

570
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: that uh at that front place. Just play some knockout

571
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: for some money. You're doing great at knockout together. Proball

572
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 1: be down there and you as well. Potentially I'm still

573
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,199
Speaker 1: debate and hopefully I can't get down there. Okay, if

574
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: you were ever off for the opportunity to adopt the I,

575
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: would you do it? Oh, we're right, we're we're of course,

576
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 1: of course, question question. I might do that this week

577
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: if I can. So, if you could adopt the I.

578
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: So that's part of the just when they do the script, ohio,

579
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 1: and then the guy runs out there and kind of

580
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 1: kicks his legs like this, you know some of this,

581
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 1: and then yeah's actually it's pretty, it's pretty. Check it out. Yeah,

582
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: you could look it up in the lower All right,

583
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: gold silver more precious metal. Well, we look at the value.

584
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: That's right, I'm gonna go. I'm go, but it's more

585
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: of a silver helmet. Let's be so. You know, funny thing,

586
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: I'm actually silver, God like actually like silver what at

587
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 1: the same time, you know, God worth more. So you

588
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: kind of like, you know what that maybe your's this platinum, Mabe,

589
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: it's actually a platinum that up at above gold. I

590
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 1: don't know who's to say, all right, if it is platinum,

591
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 1: that's the only platinum in the whole probably the whole campus.

592
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: You know, our goal, we gotta grow gold at the ground.

593
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: We gotta go with at the basilica. We gotta golden

594
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: side of the classroom and go therewhere. It's going there everywhere.

595
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: Another look at Irish, I tell you that's what we're

596
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: prob because of the push ups. Would you say that

597
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,239
Speaker 1: the average Irish mascot or fan is better condition than

598
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: Bruce who has muscles from the suit. Maybe not earned

599
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: as a human. Just that's that's a judgment if you

600
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: go back and look at it, like our past lubber corns.

601
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: Yeah that like the students and stuff like that, Like

602
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: they all a jack. Yeah, they do a lot of

603
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: push ups. I don't even know we're talking about. So

604
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: tell them what's the tradition. Every time we scored touchdown, right,

605
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: they do those amount of push ups. So like well

606
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: saying we got a person coming on there. We scored

607
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: fifty points there'll be in there'll be in the stands

608
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: like this. Hold student Hold uh they called a student

609
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: the whole since section student section. Yeah, hold student section.

610
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: I like that. I like that all right? What's your best? Like,

611
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: what's the when you think of playing a game big

612
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: game of Notre Dame. Is there like a song that

613
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: they play in the crowd where everybody goes nuts? Is

614
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: there a traditional like fire up so on? I mean

615
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: it's always the kickoff is always, you know, and you know,

616
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: everyway's not screaming kind of like everybody jumping and stuff

617
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: like that. So I said it started the game, So

618
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: the started the game. Definitely started the game. And then

619
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: for the black Eyes, and it's always that's that's right,

620
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: always a little hang on sloopy, hang on snoopies. How

621
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: much better is playing under the lights in the game

622
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: like this, playing during the DA it's definitely better than night.

623
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: The atmosphere, especially at the at the shoot at the

624
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: Ohio State the atmosphere crazy. All the fans is gonna

625
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: be filled up, hundreds and plus thousand fans there, so

626
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be it's gonna be electric there. Did you

627
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: like playing the lights? Half of that stadium Saturday, maybe

628
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: and and the Navy and and go. I don't know

629
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: about that. That's not I don't like. I'd like to

630
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: say it too, but probably okay, but no, I mean

631
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: our state. It's pretty pretty knownful what we do to

632
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: the volume, no doubt, and especially at the way tunnel,

633
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: they don't like to come out that way. Tone is

634
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: very skinny, very skinny. What do you guys slap when

635
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: you guys go out there and like the champion of day.

636
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: So that's a great tradition, right, it's a great tradition.

637
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: Do you guys have anything like that? On the way

638
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: to the field, you guys walk along a lot of places.

639
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: There's a lot of walking. Yeah, so we walk, see

640
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: the whole family, everybody, everybody cheering. So get into the

641
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: stadium and once we get in there, it's still another

642
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: way to go. Has anybody ever slipped on their cleets

643
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of walking and feels like I'm

644
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: concrete in that walk. Could be hazardous, I don't think so,

645
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: I do think, okay, alright, good, all right, all right, hazardous.

646
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: They don't want anything hazardous, all right, So if you

647
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: play knockout with him, probably one time I think I

648
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: wanted to Actually is this true? Don't lie? Speechless says

649
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: it all, says it all right there, all right, you

657
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,960

00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:55,320

00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,600

Speaker 1: know you go to when you look around the league,

679
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: do you think you see more guys from Notre Dame

680
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: right now or more guys from Ohio State. See, that's tough.

681
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: That's the tough one. Answer. That's a tough one. I

687
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: around the league you're listening to the Kevin Stefanski Show

688
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: on the University Hospitals Cleveland Brown's Radio network. I feel

689
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: like I have people in the building that can tell

690
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: me the truth, and I think that's really important because

691
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: I don't want this to be a place where I

692
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: don't get the truth from our guys. This is the

693
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: Coach Kevin Stefanski Show. You're listening to the University Hospitals

694
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: Cleveland Brown's Radio Network. Here are your hosts, Nathan Stagura

695
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: and Gerard Cherry. Welcome back to the Kevin Savanski Show

696
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: on the University Hospitals Cleveland Brown's Radio Network. Nathan's Gura,

697
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: Gerad Cherry with you. We want to remind you though,

698
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: that if you're married, you know the dangers of watching

699
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: football without getting other important stuff done around the house first.

700
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: The same is true with gambling. Not paying your bills

701
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: before you gamble can lead to real trouble. So keep

702
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: your priorities straight and get more tips like this and

703
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: keep it fun. Ohio dot com. All right, try let's

704
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: go around the league little some quarterbacks in the news.

705
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,959
Speaker 1: We're gonna start with Russell Wilson. He gets a five

706
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: year extension on top of the two years he already

707
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: had left. So a thirty three year old quarterback of

708
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos gets two hundred and forty five million,

709
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: of which a hundred and sixty five million is guaranteed,

710
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: putting his total pay for the next seven seasons at

711
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: two hundred and ninety six million. Four he's even played

712
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: a snap for the Denver Broncos. What do you think

713
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: about that? Well, he must look really good in practice,

714
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: right that in preseason games that he probably been playing.

715
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: But when I hear those numbers, Nathan, what stands out

716
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 1: to me is the one sixty five because that's very

717
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: similar to what Kyler Murray got. And I'm saying to myself,

718
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: why aren't these guys playing hardball with the idea of

719
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 1: trying to get the two hundred thirty million guarante, because

720
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: Lord knows, that's what Lamar Jackson is about to do,

721
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: and it's trying to achieve hits. Why they're having the

722
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: stalemate in Baltimore over this situation, you have to imagine.

723
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: So I'm if you Russell, you'll take it, and I'm

724
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 1: pretty sure Sierra appreciates it as well. But I was

725
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: surprising what the one and try to get more and

726
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 1: you reached that two hundred million dollars. So it's very

727
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: interesting what that pertains to Deshaun Watson's contract and what

728
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: that represents. But good for us man, I think in

729
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: this day and age, how things are and how they

730
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: take care guys, him playing to his late thirties is

731
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: highly probable. So he'll he'll more unlikely see the majority

732
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: of that contract beyond the guaranteed amount. Yes, and so

733
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: he's at thirty three, This would take him through being

734
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 1: forty years old. Does he play out that deal? My

735
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: guess is if he wants to. Yeah, And so it's

736
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: one of those things where you want to advocate for

737
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: a guaranteed contract. But I think when you're an established

738
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: star quarterback. In the Kyler case, I don't know that

739
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: he is yet an established our quarterback. So that's a

740
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: little concerning. In Lamar's case, and and with Kyler as well,

741
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,760
Speaker 1: because of their style, I think they're more susceptible to injury.

742
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: But for a Russell Wilson, he's not getting cut, and

743
00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: if he does get cut, there will be suitors for

744
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: or it'll just be straight up the fact that is

745
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 1: at that point he's done anyway, and he's made plenty

746
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: of money. So I do think it's interesting because in

747
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: my mind, quarterback contracts, for the most part, kind of

748
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:13,839
Speaker 1: are guaranteed anyway. You know, they're not gonna It's rare

749
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: that you're gonna cut one of these guys. You know,

750
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:21,399
Speaker 1: they get a restructure at some point. Will yes, he will,

751
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 1: of course you will. So I think for Russ obviously

752
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: a good deal. I think when teams are able to

753
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: do deals with this type of a horizon, as the

754
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: NFL continues to make more money, it's gonna continue to

755
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: it's gonna become a better deal for the team. And

756
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,320
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be true. I Pat Mahomes tenure

757
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: deal and Russell Wilson, they're all right. The top one

758
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 1: players of two have come out. I don't know if

759
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,320
Speaker 1: you saw that on NFL network. I have a conspiracy theory.

760
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: I believe Aaron Donald was supposed to be number one,

761
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: and after he the guy in the head of the helmet,

762
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: they moved him to number two, and so Tom Brady

763
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 1: was number one on the top one under Players of two. Okay,

764
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: I know you love them, but do you agree with

765
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 1: that that he was the best player in the NFL. Yes,

766
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:11,760
Speaker 1: he was a defensive mistake running a zero blitz in

767
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 1: against which made no sense. Why I run a zero

768
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: blitz against Cooper cup In and and and Matthew Stafford.

769
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 1: They don't run that blitz. Tom Brady is in the

770
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Again, it was not his fault. It was

771
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: his defensive fault that he did not and that you

772
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 1: can make that statement about all the Super Bowls he's

773
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 1: actually lost. It's been on the defense and not necessarily

774
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: on him. So with that in mind, the dude is

775
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:38,879
Speaker 1: playing next level. Was again a defensive mistake away from

776
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: going to his four team Super Bowl something crazy like that.

777
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: Our thirteen. So in my mind he's number one because

778
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: last time I check, and I know you agree me

779
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 1: on this, the hardest position in the National Football League

780
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: is what quarterback? Was he play quarterback? And does? He

781
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: played extremely well? He does, but he wasn't even the

782
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 1: first team All He wasn't even the first team All

783
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: Pro or the m v P. Yeah, well that's people

784
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: just tired of just mentioned his name and right and in,

785
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: I get that, But if you're the best we have

786
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: ever done it and you're still playing it at the

787
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: highest levels. How are you not number one? Alright? So

788
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: Tom Brady last year throws seven hundred nineteen passes, which

789
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 1: is absurd, five thousand, three hund sixteen yards, forty three touchdowns,

790
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: both led the league only six I'm sorry, twelve interceptions,

791
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: forty three touchdowns, twelve interceptions, quarterback rating of a hundred.

792
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 1: To hold on, now, let me pull up real quickly.

793
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:35,280
Speaker 1: So Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Rodgers was the m v P again.

794
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers was the first team All Pro quarterback again.

795
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: He completes seventy of his passes. He has four thousand,

796
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,720
Speaker 1: one fifteen yards. He threw eight passes fewer than Brady.

797
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 1: He throws thirty seven touchdowns and four picks. Gerade four

798
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,720
Speaker 1: four picks, leads the league in quarterback ratings this division.

799
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: He's with the Bears, he's with the Lines, he's with

800
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 1: the Vikings As going to have the Juggernaut, Panthers and Falcons.

801
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you're right, you're right. But they won

802
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, right, so their schedule is gonna be harder. Well,

803
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: they were played the first place schedule, as did the

804
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: exactly and he did that a plan. The first place

805
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: schedule That's my whole entire point. So did the Packers.

806
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: They didn't play what the what the what? The Buccaneers

807
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 1: played dog? You never know? Yes, you tell me, you're

808
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 1: telling Rodgers, Aaron Rodgers is better than Tom Brady's what

809
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 1: you're trying And tell me, yes, I would take him

810
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: right and based on Super Bowl wins. No, of course not.

811
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: He was better in tom Bradies the goat. He's the

812
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: greatest of all time. That does even sensible to me.

813
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 1: I love it. Listen, I appreciate your bias for Tom Brady.

814
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: You should have it. And he's listening, and you're you're

815
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: going against cal You're going for Tom Brady. All right,

839
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,399
Speaker 1: The Browns will practice on Monday. They will be off

840
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 1: Tuesday and get into their normal week of preparation Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.

841
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: Travel day is Saturday to Charlotte and then kick one

842
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 1: o'clock on Sunday against the Panthers in what is obviously

843
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: a huge, huge season opener for the Cleveland Browns. Will

844
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: do real quickly, a little stock up, step up, stock

845
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 1: up for me. The defense. I have a feeling that

846
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: this defense is going to be elite. Miles Garrett is

847
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,879
Speaker 1: playing at an unbelievable level. Jadevian Clowney, we haven't seen

848
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 1: him in the preseason. He will be inducted into what

849
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: the South Carolina Ring of Honor or Hall of Fame,

850
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,280
Speaker 1: and and so then he goes and gets to play

851
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 1: in Carolina that very next week. I think he's gonna

852
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 1: be have a great game. And then he loved the

853
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: back end of this defense. You like the linebackers, do

854
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 1: you like the guys in the middle? Jordan Elliott has

855
00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:00,080
Speaker 1: come so far entering his third year, and so this

856
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:04,760
Speaker 1: defense is going to be the backbone of this football

857
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 1: team in the early portion of the season. There's total

858
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 1: confidence in Jacoby Brisett. You've got a great ground game

859
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:11,800
Speaker 1: with Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. You've got an excellent

860
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: offensive line. You've got a Marie Cooper, the tight ends.

861
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 1: The rest of the receivers. But this defense has a

862
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 1: chance to be truly special and dominate opponents. And I

863
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: think that is the expectation. That is what they are

864
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: capable of, and that is what Browns fans certainly hope

865
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: they will see in the season opener in Carolina against

866
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 1: the Panthers. Now, in terms of stepping up, I think

867
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: it's obvious. We all know the answer, right, And I

868
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 1: won't single anybody out. I'll just say in the passing game,

869
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 1: the passing game does not need to be a top

870
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 1: ten passing game in the NFL. What it needs to

871
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: be is competent. It needs to move the football when

872
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 1: the football is needed to be moved, third and long situations,

873
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: pass on obvious passing downs, deliver in those moments, and

874
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,799
Speaker 1: then create a couple of chunk plays, Just a couple

875
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,919
Speaker 1: of chunk plays that will provide space and breathing room forever,

876
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:03,240
Speaker 1: anthing else this offense wants to do. Jacoby Rosette certainly

877
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: has the arm to do so. The Browns are confident

878
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 1: in his abilities, and so this past game, guys get open.

879
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: When you get open, have the football delivered to you.

880
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: When the football is a libert to you catch it.

881
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: It's really simple, and the Browns I think will be

882
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 1: off to a very successful start on offense. Big holiday

883
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: week and then we get rolling folks. The next time

884
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:27,439
Speaker 1: we do the Kevin Stefanski Show, it will be Thursday night,

885
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: September the eight, and we will be getting ready for

886
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: the season opener between the Browns and the Carolina Panthers,

887
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,919
Speaker 1: the start of what should be a special season here

888
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,719
