Now, Hopkins is going into 29 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: his tenth NFL season. He's out of Florida State. Originally 30 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: a sixth round pick by Buffalo in twenty thirteen, Hopkins 31 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: has appeared in one hundred and nine games with the 32 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: Commanders from twenty fifteen to twenty twenty one and the 33 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: Chargers from halfway through twenty twenty one to twenty twenty two. 34 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: He's converted one hundred and ninety to two hundred and twenty 35 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: four field goal attempts, good for eighty four percent. He's 36 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: converted ninety four percent of his extra point attempts. He 37 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: connected on nine to ten field goals last year in 38 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: all twelve Pats and five games with the Chargers before 39 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: he was put on ir with a hamstring injury. Now 40 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: we have to make this clear. Despite anything out there 41 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: that might be said, kad York has not yet been cut. 42 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: He has not been officially cut by the football team. 43 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: So we'll talk about KD York here in a moment. 44 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: But with Dustin Hopkins coming to Cleveland, the Browns are 45 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: addressing what is turned into a need for them because 46 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: they're supposed to be a playoff team, so many of 47 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: these games come down to a field goal. It seemed 48 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 1: that all three of the four preseason games for the 49 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: Browns came to a field goal. It was a common 50 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: sense move that probably had to be done there, buddy, certainly. 51 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 6: And the football team is in a state where they're 52 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 6: trying to win now. This is not rebuild mode. This 53 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 6: is not let's see guys come along. This is all 54 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 6: about we need to win now, and we need consistency 55 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 6: and we need predictability. And that's what you generally get 56 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 6: in a guy that's been in the NFL for ten years. 57 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 6: He's pretty much gonna stay true to his average. So 58 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 6: I totally understand, get respect and endorse the decision to 59 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 6: bring him in because you need consistency, and when you 60 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,959 Speaker 6: consider what's taking place in the NFL, especially in AFC 61 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 6: can with the level of just even this and parody. 62 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 6: It makes all sense in the world that a lot 63 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 6: of these games are gonna come down to an extra 64 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 6: point or a field goals, So you need to have 65 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,119 Speaker 6: someone that gives you a sense of certainty that they're 66 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 6: good to make those. 67 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right about that, Gerard. For Kaid York, you know, 68 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: it was a tough run towards the end of the 69 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: year and then things got a little bit tougher in 70 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: this preseason. Do you think he might just be in 71 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: his head a little bit here. 72 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 6: Bun I might be. He certainly is, because the issues 73 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 6: not leg strength. The issues not whether or not he 74 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 6: can make field goals from a great distance. The issue 75 00:03:58,720 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 6: becomes what. 76 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 7: Are you doing? Are you trying too hard? Do you 77 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 7: want it too bad? 78 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 6: And people hear those concepts are like, what do you 79 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 6: mean you're trying too hard? Well, what I mean by 80 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 6: that is sometimes you go out there with this idea 81 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 6: that you have to be perfect your approach, the way 82 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 6: in which your leg is following through with the football, 83 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 6: and if you're thinking about those things that as supposed 84 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 6: to just simply doing what God bless you the ability 85 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 6: to do you're gonna screw up because it's now on 86 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 6: your mind. 87 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 7: So a lot of times it's professional athletes. 88 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 6: The best thing that can happen to us is to 89 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 6: hit rock bottom and realize that I need to stop 90 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 6: fearing failure because or trying to be perfect, because it 91 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 6: all it caused me to do was to fail. So 92 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 6: I think it's more between the ears than anything, because 93 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 6: it's not an issue of can he kick it? 94 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 7: He can. 95 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's certainly tough for him, Girod. I mean you're 96 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: right about that and everything that you bring up with 97 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: what might be the mental game for him? And I 98 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: think it's a guy who needs his confidence back and 99 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: for KD York. You know, if this is the end 100 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: of the line, you look at a lot of kickers 101 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: in the NFL. I don't think it's just the end 102 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: for Kad York altogether. It's just it may be very 103 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: well the end of the line here with how things 104 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: are kind of going. But you see Phil Dawson, the 105 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 1: great one. He spent time with two teams the season 106 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: before he came to the Cleveland Browns and then the 107 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: rest was history. And they all can't be justin Tucker 108 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 1: and stay with one team. Throughout their entire career, You're 109 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: seeing some of the very best kickers in the NFL 110 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: go through two, three, four, five teams in the top 111 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: tenant seams. So he'll have to get his confidence back. 112 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: For the Browns, they're just in a different place right now. 113 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: They have to get competing for the playoffs. They have 114 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: to get competing for a deep playoff run, possibly a 115 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 1: Super Bowl run, and they need to make sure that 116 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 1: they can count on their placekicker, which brings us to 117 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: some other moves they made and second down, second down, 118 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: So they made a couple of other moves. On Sunday, 119 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: the Browns going heead and get themselves a running back 120 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: and second year guy Pierre Strong from New England in 121 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 1: a straight up trade for offensive tackle Tyrone Wheatley. Junior. 122 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: Strong's five eleven, two fifteen. He's in his second NFL 123 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: season out of South Dakota State. You know that Bill 124 00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: Belichick loves those FCS guys, and there you get Pierre 125 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: Strong out of South Dakota State. But the Browns have 126 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 1: now originally selected in the fourth round last year, in 127 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: fifteen games as a rookie, rush for one hundred yards 128 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: on ten carries, did have a touchdown, also caught seven 129 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 1: catches for forty two yards in twenty twenty two. We'll 130 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: talk about Wheatley here in just a moment, but for 131 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: the Browns it adds some depth to that running back 132 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: room drod. 133 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 7: Well, it certainly does. 134 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 6: And for Jordan Wilkins, who didn't help his cause or 135 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 6: case at all about with the two fumbles, it was 136 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 6: a great opportunity for him to be that second guy, 137 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 6: third guy with forward being out behind Nick Chubb, and 138 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 6: he didn't seize the moment. 139 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 7: So what the Browns do. 140 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 6: They simply said, Okay, we're gonna bring another guy who 141 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 6: has some limited experience as well in the camp, like 142 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 6: what they obviously saw during the course of his college 143 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 6: tape and in the NFL and obviously in the preseason. 144 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 7: To now, he's essentially on. 145 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 6: A football team unless someone else that's a marque name 146 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 6: come becomes available. But you can pretty much chalk Pierre 147 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 6: in to be good to go to be on his 148 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 6: football team. 149 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 7: Yeah. 150 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: Whetley spent the twenty two and eighty two season on 151 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: the Browns practice squad. He goes to New England, both 152 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 1: teams looking for depth one in the tackle position. The 153 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: other one with the running back position, they were able 154 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: to make and even trade on that one other moves. 155 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: This is sad wide receiver Jaqem Grant placed on ir 156 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: Just terrible, terrible luck for what seems like a really 157 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: good guy and a very fast football player that could 158 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: have been exciting for the Cleveland Browns. 159 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 7: Girond Ah such a disappointment. 160 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 6: When you see the quickness on display, you walk away 161 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,239 Speaker 6: amazed Can and his cat like reflexes. And I saw 162 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 6: the injury take place, and I was torn between is 163 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 6: this the slipping on the field that was slick because 164 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 6: of the rain and also just a humidity, or was 165 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 6: it a combination of that and the hit by three 166 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 6: guys at the same time. And his bidy is just 167 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 6: simply not being used to that type of impact or 168 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 6: that type of pressure on his leg because this was 169 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 6: his first time having full action, and the adrenaline can 170 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 6: cause your baya do stuff it is not accustomed to. 171 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 6: And just how we talk about ramping up, he was 172 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 6: from zero to one hundred, and sometimes your bia is 173 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 6: not ready for that either. 174 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right about that. Also, the made other moves. 175 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: They waved cornerback Caleb Biggers. They also waved linebacker Cam Bright, 176 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: tight end Miller Forrestall, tight end Thomas Greeney, cornerback Gavin Heslop, 177 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: tackled Derrek Kelly, the second safety night meters, wide receiver 178 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: Anthony Schwartz with an injury designation, and wide receiver Jalen Wayne. 179 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: They terminated the contracts to Colby Gassett Wes Martin, both guards, 180 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: also the running back Jordan Wilkins, as Gerrod previously mentioned, 181 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: and they placed on injury reserve. The non football on 182 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 1: this list, guard Drew Forbes. Not a lot of surprises. 183 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: A lot of guys who have some talent, Gerrod, might 184 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: find themselves on peace squads or might find themselves you 185 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 1: called into active duty coming up later this year. But 186 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: it shows that the Browns are now a deep football 187 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: team like we've been looking forward to over the last 188 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: several seasons together. 189 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 6: Bud Right and some of the guys you just named 190 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 6: were guys that are on a bubble that are gonna 191 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 6: have a hard time making this team in the first place, 192 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 6: and you just hope that they did enough things to 193 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 6: impress the Browns on one try to bring him back 194 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 6: his practice squad members or maybe down the road they 195 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 6: get picked up by another team. Biggers in his for example, 196 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 6: made a great case for himself with the pick six. 197 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 1: Yes, he did some other. 198 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 6: Good coverages that he's had, but he has to obviously 199 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 6: be more consistent and not being penalized as much and 200 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 6: now certain help his cause as well. But all those 201 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,319 Speaker 6: guys that were talking about our developmental guys, and as 202 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 6: I said before, this team is no longer in the 203 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 6: developmental stages of doing things. They are trying to win 204 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 6: football games quick, fast and in a hurry. 205 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: You're right about that. It takes us the third down, 206 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: third down. Some good news for the Brons. Marquise Goodwin 207 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: has been cleared to play after recovering from blood clots. 208 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: What does this man do for this Browns offense? Such 209 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: a speeder but a little bit long in the tooth 210 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: is some people say. 211 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 6: Hey, man, all I know is James Jet and Willie 212 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 6: Galk can still run four threes when they're in their thirties. 213 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 7: And if. 214 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 6: Ye, so, let's hope and pray that he's the exception 215 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,199 Speaker 6: to the rule, because one of the things that we 216 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 6: have not identified, and what he was brought here for 217 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 6: was to be the guy to take the ceiling off 218 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 6: of the coverage and to be that Bible deep threat. 219 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 6: It was supposed to be Anthony Schwartz, but he never 220 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 6: developed and also he had an injury, so that didn't 221 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 6: allow that to take place for him. 222 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 7: But thankfully, just for a sense of health and well. 223 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 6: Being, that good guy one's doing good, ones doing better 224 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 6: and clear to play because we're certainly gonna need his 225 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 6: experience and his skill set. 226 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: They certainly are. I mean, you see what he's able 227 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: to do maybe out of the slot, outside and some 228 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 1: other things that he's been able to do. I mean, 229 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: he can be a really exciting player for this football team. 230 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: And depending on what his speed, I think it could 231 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: stretch out a defense and maybe create some lanes for 232 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 1: guys underneath and can keep a defense honest when you're 233 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: trying to look for some of the boxes that could 234 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,959 Speaker 1: be open for a guy like Nick Chubb. You know 235 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: Girod We talked about him so many times last year 236 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: where he was still able to get eighty ninety one 237 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: hundred yards in a game against eight man boxes. You're 238 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: hoping that Deshaun Watson and these weapons can keep guys honest, 239 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: keep seven in the box. Six in the box and 240 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: make sure that you can open something up for Nick Chubb. Here, 241 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: we could be looking for an other big year out 242 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: of number twenty four. 243 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 6: Right, and with that element of a passing game and 244 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 6: a viable deep threat, that's gonna force teams to be like, oh, 245 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 6: we might want to not necessarily load the box because 246 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 6: we can get exposed over the top. That can only 247 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 6: help the cause once you get an example of complimentary football. 248 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: Certainly right about that fourth down? 249 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 8: Fourth down? 250 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: All right? Girod your final thoughts and takeaways from the 251 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 1: preseason game number four in Kansas City. 252 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 7: Love what I saw. 253 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 6: Out of the defense far as creating turnovers and making 254 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 6: big plays. Obviously, we have some woes in the kicking 255 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 6: game that we need to adjust and get better, because 256 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 6: again it's all about having all three phases contribute and 257 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 6: do their part. 258 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 7: From an offensive standpoint, I saw some good things. 259 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 6: I saw the Seawan able to move around the pocket 260 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 6: and make some things happen with his arm as well 261 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 6: as his legs. Was not happy with all the fumbles 262 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 6: and turnovers I saw because in a regular season game, 263 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 6: that's gonna get your beat. Yeah, you cannot give up 264 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 6: the football like that. You have to be very, very 265 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 6: protective of the football and not just give it away. 266 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 6: So all in all, if you put them put in totality, 267 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 6: what I saw throughout the preseason, I saw a football 268 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 6: team moving in the right direction towards getting ready for 269 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 6: the first game of the season against the Cincinnati Bengals. 270 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: Defensively, girod are they playing faster? So many fans worried 271 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: about that going into this preseason. 272 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 6: That should be if it hasn't been air it hasn't 273 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 6: been clear and parent that this is a much faster 274 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 6: and better football team. And here's the one thing actually 275 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 6: can that you should notice. Do you notice that the 276 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 6: linebackers are clean? And what I mean by that is 277 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 6: you don't have guards all in their faces, you don't 278 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 6: have tackles running up on them, and that they're allowed 279 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,319 Speaker 6: to fill gaps and run to the football. And that's 280 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 6: a credit to the defensive front of actually occupied and 281 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 6: space and penetrating because you need those things to free 282 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 6: up linebackers. So if anyone's been a benefactor of this 283 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 6: defense of front being much more active and bottle and 284 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 6: just disruptive, it's those linebackers. And you see how they 285 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 6: play that they're making tackles behind the line of scrimmage 286 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 6: and they're just simply making play. 287 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of tackles and guards getting to the 288 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,559 Speaker 1: second level last year, and that's how a lot of 289 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: teams were able to run all over you. They're able 290 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: to stay right now with some of these defensive tackles 291 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,079 Speaker 1: that are playing a lot better. I like that Siaki 292 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: Ika was able to show up as well in that 293 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: preseason game against Kansas City. Not that he hasn't made 294 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: a couple of waves already, but it was nice to 295 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: see such a young man doing so well in that 296 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: game against the Chiefs. 297 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 8: There. 298 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 6: Geradi certainly, and along with him, think about Maury's Hurst 299 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 6: and what he represents in that second wave of defenders, 300 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 6: because what we don't want to have take place. We're 301 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 6: gonna rotate lineman. We already know that that's part of 302 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 6: game plan. We don't want a situation that when we 303 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 6: do rotate linemen that the falling off and the lack 304 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 6: of production and ability to rush a quarterback is so 305 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 6: apparent that teams are like marching down the football field 306 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 6: while Miles and Cumpany are taking a break. So what 307 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 6: I did see was that these guys can hold up 308 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 6: there end in the bargain, and that's a great thing 309 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 6: because you need depth in the defensive front because if 310 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 6: you don't have it, the quickest way to lose a 311 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,079 Speaker 6: football game. You've heard me say this on numerous occasions. 312 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 6: Can is that if you can't control the trenches, you 313 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 6: can't control anything. 314 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: And that is four downs.

You know, now it's we're accounts, so 392 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 4: we're all in. 393 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 9: It's a good week because the preseason's over and training 394 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 9: camps over and everything along those lines. But obviously a 395 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 9: tough week in terms of the first couple of days 396 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 9: here as we trim this roster down? How difficult is 397 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 9: this week for everybody in the building, not just the 398 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 9: guys that unfortunately are getting cut here. 399 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean this week's never easy. You know, you 400 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,199 Speaker 4: build all these relationships with people that you suffer with. 401 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 4: You know, camp's never an easy thing. You know, it's 402 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:15,199 Speaker 4: long days, it's mental, physical, it's how you say, strain. 403 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 4: So you build all these relationships and then you know 404 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 4: on days like these, you know, you have roster cuts 405 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 4: and everything happens, and everyone's you know, filling though down 406 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 4: because you know your brother leaves. But this is a business, 407 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 4: you know, it is what it is. It's tough, but 408 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 4: hopefully the guys that left us will find home elsewhere. 409 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,640 Speaker 9: It's all you with David A joke who Brown's tight 410 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 9: end As we get you ready a couple of weeks 411 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 9: away still from Brown's and Bengals, TC McCartney, you're a 412 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,479 Speaker 9: tight End's coach.

He's the best. He I feel 415 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 4: like he truly gets me, you know, not many people do, 416 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 4: and he just he knows how to coach me. He 417 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 4: knows how how to you know, communicate things that it's 418 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 4: hard to communicate. But he gets the point across. And 419 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 4: that's all you can really ask for. 420 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 9: All Right, as we get ready here, you'll have a 421 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 9: couple of practices this week Thursday after Thursday at the stadium. 422 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 8: It's kind of a getaway weekend. 423 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 9: And what's the mentality you got to have because obviously 424 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 9: it's three days off after a long, long month, but 425 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 9: it's also something you got to keep your eye on 426 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 9: what's coming, you know, the following week. 427 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 8: What's the approach that you take. 428 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 4: This is a perfect time to meditate, you know, release 429 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 4: any like you know, any weighing factors, and really lock in, 430 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 4: hunker down. It's going to be a long season, so 431 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 4: everyone should get physically mentally specially ready for this journey 432 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 4: that we're going to take. 433 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 9: What else offensively, you know, because it's still going to 434 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 9: be a little bit of a work in progress even 435 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 9: as we get into the season, because the season is 436 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 9: so long. What do you guys feel like you still 437 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 9: need to work on here as you get ready for 438 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 9: the Bengals. 439 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 4: I feel like we are understanding finally who we are 440 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 4: and what we bring to the table. We're very versatile offense, 441 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,919 Speaker 4: so there's so many things that we can you know, 442 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 4: try or do and see if it works. And I 443 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,199 Speaker 4: think that's the fun part of it all is, you know, 444 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 4: the more we can do that, the better the team. 445 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 8: Will will be.

We're in the most advantageous position 506 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,400 Speaker 6: to do it. And the reason why is we play 507 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 6: everybody early. We played three divisional teams in the first 508 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 6: four weeks. 509 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,360 Speaker 7: Bam, who'd go three and zero? Right there? 510 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 6: Is highly probably gonna win the next two out of 511 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 6: the three, But obviously you have to start off with 512 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 6: winning the three early on in the season. 513 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: That starts Week one next Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals 514 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: right here at Cleveland Brown Stadium. I'm gonna still say 515 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: four and two. I think it's a very difficult one. 516 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: It's just such a grinder of a division four good quarterbacks. 517 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 1: I mean, I know they're really excited about Kenny Picken 518 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,239 Speaker 1: and I have my concerns, but I'm gonna throw him 519 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: in there. 520 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 7: He's an up and I've watched two preseason games. 521 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: Kid, he's an up and comer. And you know Lamar 522 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: Jackson's reel, Joe Burrow's reel, Deshaun Watson's reel. You got 523 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 1: some good players there, you got some good teams there. 524 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,120 Speaker 1: I think this is going to be a really tough, knockdown, 525 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: drag out vision classic in the NFL. If the Alliance 526 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: don't live up to their hype. Is the NFC North 527 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: the worst division in football? The NFC North, No Vikings, 528 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: Bears and Lions. 529 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,479 Speaker 2: No, No, No, not at all. I'm certain the Lions 530 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 2: could win the NFC South and the AFC South. So 531 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 2: and I'm pretty sure if you look at the Green 532 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 2: Bay Packers, they can win those divisions. 533 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 6: If you look at the Vikings, they could certainly win 534 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 6: those divisions. So I'm gonna have to say no, own 535 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 6: that one. 536 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm agree with you. I'm agree with you. I 537 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 1: think any of those teams could win the the Bears, Yeah, compete. 538 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: You know, what do you think the Bears are gonna 539 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: do this year? I'm sure there's a question coming up, 540 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: but I didn't read through it because you know this 541 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,360 Speaker 1: is I'm not necessarily the most professional person. Either way, 542 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: What do you think of the Bears this year? 543 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 6: I think they make They do enough to keep everyone's 544 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 6: eber Flesh's I'm saying his name. 545 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: Correct, Maddy Eberflus, Yes, he. 546 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 7: Could keep his job. I think they do enough to 547 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 7: do just that. 548 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 6: I think Fields is going to continue to develop and emerge, 549 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,160 Speaker 6: so I think they do enough to keep everyone employed 550 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 6: in the building. I see that taking place. Do I 551 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,239 Speaker 6: see them winning the Vision, No, but definitely see them 552 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 6: making games to where they're almost a five hundred team. 553 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,199 Speaker 1: Well, that means they're gonna be pretty tough. By the 554 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,719 Speaker 1: time the Browns play Yeah, Wells later in the year, 555 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: they'll probably be a streaking football team if that's the case, 556 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: especially if they put everything behind Justin Fields, which leads 557 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 1: us to question number three. Fact or fiction Justin Fields 558 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,160 Speaker 1: is the best QB in the NFC North. It'd be Fields, 559 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, Jared Goff, and Jordan Love. Those are your options. 560 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 6: I'm gonna have to say fiction on that is he 561 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 6: probably most physically gifted out of all the people you 562 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 6: just name. Yes, he is, but he's not the best quarterback. 563 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 6: I mean, this guy gets no respect on All he 564 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 6: does is win, understanding he doesn't win in the playoffs. 565 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,400 Speaker 6: But it has to be Kirk Cousins. He's the best 566 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 6: quarterback in that division, followed by Golf and then I 567 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 6: might consider feels certainly over love because love has no 568 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 6: experience whatsoever. So that's how I see it paanning itself 569 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 6: out in the NFC North. 570 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 1: I have I've been a bit of a Kirk cousin 571 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,479 Speaker 1: disrespector over the years. You know, I think that some 572 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: people have over hyped him. You know, I've always wondered 573 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: how does he get these stats? And then you watch 574 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: him and you go, what is this? 575 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 8: What is this? 576 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: Like I don't he's got very good stats, gerrod But 577 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: it's like you see Patrick Mahomes, that's a serious quarterback, 578 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,919 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, Aaron Rodgers. You go down the line and 579 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,399 Speaker 1: then you get to Kirk Cousins and you're like, you 580 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 1: could beat this guy. He's steady and they're good, but 581 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,880 Speaker 1: he's a steady quarterback. I'm gonna put him number one 582 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: because all that. I think that he's a good, steady 583 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. I don't think he's elite, but I think 584 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 1: he's a good steady franchise quarterback. He wins the games 585 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 1: he's supposed to, and I will put them there. I 586 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: think that Justin Fields is number two because I love 587 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 1: his talent. Jared Goff is becoming a nice steady quarterback 588 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 1: in his own right then. I just don't know what 589 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: Jordan Love is gonna be. I have no idea. 590 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 6: I mean, preseason game from indications of what we're seeing. 591 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,439 Speaker 6: I mean he's doing fine. He doesn't look lost, he 592 00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 6: looks like he has controlled understanding of the offense, and 593 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 6: he looks calm in the pocket, and those are the 594 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 6: type of things that you look for in a quarterback. 595 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 6: But back to Fields, Fields is still in that stage 596 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 6: where you want to date him. Cousins is a stage 597 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 6: where you want to marry him because of the fact 598 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 6: that he's just fled out consistent and steady. Yeah, and 599 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 6: now hopefully for Fields as well as Love, they'll get 600 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 6: to that place, but it takes time to where you're like, Okay, 601 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,919 Speaker 6: these guys are quarterbacks for how long Kirk Cousins has played. 602 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 6: And on top of this too, kid the fact that 603 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,400 Speaker 6: he was able to do what he did in Washington 604 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 6: and then go to the Vikings and have some success 605 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,679 Speaker 6: for a guy that wasn't drafted that high in the 606 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 6: first place, done that's impressive. And again, it's not gonna 607 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 6: be Sometimes he'll have moments where you're like, you sure, 608 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 6: this guy was an undrafted player, and he'll have his 609 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 6: second quarterback moments and third quarterback moments. 610 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:46,639 Speaker 7: But to his credit though, he finds a way to 611 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 7: get the job done. 612 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 1: For the most part, he's a smart player. I gotta 613 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: give misrespecting. You're right, he finds a way to finds 614 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 1: a way to get the job done with Jared excuse me, 615 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: with Jordan love Tyler Donn, the author who's done extensive 616 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 1: work on the Packers. He likes them, he thinks that 617 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,439 Speaker 1: he thinks he's gonna be good. I just don't know. 618 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: I have no idea it would be. I think, honestly, 619 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: the history of the Packers has played into my opinion 620 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 1: of this. Like you've had thirty years of great quarterback play, 621 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: you cannot make it somewhere a forty five. Like I 622 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 1: just refuse to believe they're gonna get nearly a half 623 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 1: a century of elite level or franchise level quarterback play. 624 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 1: I think their luck has to run out at some point. 625 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 7: Right. 626 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 6: It sounds extremely unfair. But when you think about their 627 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 6: process and how they've gone about it, maybe they figured 628 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 6: out something with Farvin Rodgers that hey, draft a guy 629 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 6: who's got some talent, let him sit for a couple 630 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 6: of years and observe the best in the business, or 631 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 6: at least one of them do it, and hopefully through 632 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 6: osmosis he picked something up and appears to me man 633 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 6: based upon what I've seen in preseason. A lot of 634 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 6: people don't want to put stock in preseason, but I do. 635 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 6: I can tell winners from losers in pres what I've seen. 636 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 6: He's looked good. 637 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 1: He'll have a chance. I mean, this is year three 638 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: for him, right, for Jordan, he'll have a crack at it. 639 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 6: All Right, It's not like you're not see what happens 640 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 6: when you're a rookie and you get thrown into the fire. 641 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 6: You're overwhelmed and you sometimes may never come back from that. Yep, 642 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 6: the confidence could be ruined for life. But when you 643 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 6: sit back for two or three years and just observe, 644 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 6: the game slows down for you. Ultimately, that's what's really about, 645 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,239 Speaker 6: the game slowing down and you not being overwhelmed by 646 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,719 Speaker 6: the speed of it, and you have an understanding of 647 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 6: the game at the same time because you're taking in 648 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 6: all the concepts. You're taking in what teams are trying 649 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 6: to do to you and why they're trying to do it, 650 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 6: and why this makes sense and why this doesn't make sense. 651 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 6: When you're a rookie, you're still like, man, I'm in 652 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 6: the National Football League, WOODD. 653 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 7: I still don't. 654 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 1: Mean I still think the best thing that happened. Like 655 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: Josh Allen is an elite quarterback in the NFL, I 656 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: still think the best thing that happened to him that 657 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: rookie season was that injury where he was out for 658 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: a month. Everything slowed down for him and then he 659 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 1: could get the mental part to it, not just the 660 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: athletic part too it. Because everybody knows Josh Allen's a horse. 661 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 1: With Jordan Love, He's had three years to learn going 662 00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: into your threes, had two years of learn. Now he's 663 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: going into your three, he'll have a shot at it. 664 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: I think that just because a quarterback doesn't start Week one, 665 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: I don't think that that's a telltale sign that that 666 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 1: guy's not ready to go. I think that there's other 667 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: factors that play into it. Patrick Mahomes started in year two, 668 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: and I know that he probably could have played year 669 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: one and would have been just fine. But I look 670 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: at other positions. Jardden, you and I talked about this 671 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 1: last week. Anthony Richardson. I'm terrified for him. I'm a 672 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: big fan of Anthony Richardson, and I'm terrified for what 673 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 1: he's gonna have to deal with in Indianapolis. 674 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 6: And the funny thing about it is I'm actually more 675 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 6: now terrified for Bryce Young than I am Richardson. The 676 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 6: only reason why I say that kid is because Richard 677 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 6: at least has a body that can. 678 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 7: Absorb the hits. 679 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, what is Young going to do? That's true factor fiction. 680 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson is the best non QB in either of 681 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: these two divisions. 682 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 8: Really good. 683 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson's really good. I mean, I know Ryan Clark 684 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: wants to say what he wants to say about George. 685 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson is amazing. 686 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 6: That's some serious deal of love right there. I said 687 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 6: he was a better talent. 688 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 7: Ah. Man, Gosh, the kid is special. 689 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's easy. I think it 690 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: is Jordan or Justin Jefferson. 691 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 6: Well, I'm gonna play the homer here and say no, 692 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 6: he's not, because I could also make that argument with 693 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 6: Nick Chubb. If he's utilized more, he would easily win 694 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 6: a rushing title on the annual basis. And I know 695 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 6: we're more in love with the passing of the game 696 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 6: than the running of the football. 697 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 1: Okay, I could see that. I mean, I think he's 698 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 1: top two, top three somewhere, But I could see that 699 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 1: Buyinger's selling Odell Beckham Junior this season real quick. 700 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 7: I am selling on that. 701 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 6: I don't and particularly I don't think people have that 702 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 6: sense of fear of him anymore. And you have to 703 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 6: figure out the two or three surgeries that's at some 704 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 6: point he's gonna go down. 705 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see, we will certainly see. 706 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 7: I'm looking forward to Radis is still incredible though. 707 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see what he can do. I'm not rooting 708 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 1: against him, but obviously when they play the Browns, I 709 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 1: got a root against him for at least two weeks there, 710 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: and that is around the league. The Division previews coming 711 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: up next the Voicier Cleveland Browns. Jim Donovan will preview 712 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: what's to come and go over the game in Kansas City. 713 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Cleveland Brown's preview show on the 714 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: University Hospitals Cleveland Browns Radio Network. 715 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 4: This is Brown's quarterback Deshaun Watson. 716 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 10: This is Whya Teller, and you are listening to the 717 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 10: University Hospitals Cleveland Browns Radio Network.

Jim, thanks 727 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 1: for joining us tonight. 728 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 11: Hi guys, good to be with both of you. 729 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 1: Your first observation of the kicker situation bringing in Dustin Hopkins. 730 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 1: We don't know the future right now of CADE York, 731 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 1: but with Dustin Hopkins coming here, it's it's certainly in need. 732 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 1: A lot of these games come down to the final kick. 733 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 1: You're playing in a very tough division here, Jim. It's 734 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: probably a move that they had to make. 735 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 11: Yeah. I think they did, Ken, I really do, and 736 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 11: I think they you know, they hung with it for 737 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 11: as long as they possibly could. I thought that they 738 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 11: were even going to go longer. 739 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 8: I really did. 740 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 11: I thought that their commitment to Kid York was so 741 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 11: deep that they were going to try and let him, 742 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 11: you know, kick his way out of it. The only 743 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 11: thing was I mean, he looked terrific in practice. I 744 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 11: mean you would say there's no problem here. Six for 745 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 11: six the other day, hit one over fifty yards. I mean, 746 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 11: that's all great. But then when you put him out 747 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 11: at Arrowhead Stadium or the week before in Philadelphia, or 748 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 11: down in Canton, or even at Cleveland Brown Stadium, it 749 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 11: just didn't happen for him. And it was an ongoing 750 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 11: problem that was not getting any better. And you're right, 751 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 11: those first four games, three of them being inside that division, 752 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 11: those are going to be tight games everybody. And those 753 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 11: games typically come down to a kick. And if you 754 00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 11: have any concern about whether or not your guy can 755 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 11: with that ball through, you got to make a move. 756 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 11: And so I think it was something that they had 757 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 11: to do. I know it's hard for them to do it. 758 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,759 Speaker 11: He was a fourth round draft choice, but you owe 759 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 11: it to your football team to be steady and as 760 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 11: solid as you can be at that position. 761 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 6: And Jim, there are several other kickers out there. But 762 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 6: why do you think the Browns went with Dustin Hopkins? 763 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 11: You know, I don't know, Gerrod, I don't know, I 764 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,799 Speaker 11: really I don't know. I would think that they had 765 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,719 Speaker 11: a list of kickers that they were looking at. I 766 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,840 Speaker 11: know a lot of people out there were saying, Robbie 767 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 11: Gold is out there, and Robbie Gold's been so effective 768 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 11: and so you know, automatic in so many spots, certainly 769 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 11: in San Francisco last that he was out there. But 770 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,360 Speaker 11: I would assume as they saw this story going on 771 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 11: and the way it was ending on the cave rope 772 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 11: side of the story, I'm sure that they were looking 773 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,799 Speaker 11: at availability of kickers. I would think that Bubba vent 774 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 11: Trone was involved in this. I would hope he was 775 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 11: involved in this decision too and had an opinion on that. 776 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 11: You look at Hopkins and his numbers. He had a 777 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,799 Speaker 11: good run in Washington, and I thought he was having 778 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,360 Speaker 11: a good year last year until he had that hamstring injury, 779 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 11: and he was having a good year statistically until he 780 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 11: got hurt, and then you know, of course, he lost 781 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:18,319 Speaker 11: the competition this summer. So I'm gonna go with their 782 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 11: intel on this and say they had probably an option 783 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 11: for a number of people, but they decided not to 784 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,359 Speaker 11: just sign somebody, but to make a trade for this 785 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:27,280 Speaker 11: particular kicker. 786 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 1: Jim going back to the Kansas City game. What were 787 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:33,799 Speaker 1: some of the things that you saw that you might 788 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,320 Speaker 1: like for the regular season. I know it's hard to glean. 789 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,840 Speaker 1: We don't know what type of division this is gonna be. 790 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 1: We know it's going to be tough, but we don't 791 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:41,239 Speaker 1: know how it's going to shake out. And we know 792 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 1: this team has talent, but they had talent last year too. 793 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,359 Speaker 1: What do you think made you maybe feel a little 794 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,799 Speaker 1: bit more confident after that Kansas City game. 795 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 11: I'll tell you the thing that jumped off the page 796 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:56,239 Speaker 11: for me, and it was really pleasing to watch, and 797 00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,359 Speaker 11: we got an opportunity to see more of it on 798 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 11: Saturday than we did in Cleveland on that Friday night 799 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 11: game against Washington. Their defense really looks good and it 800 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 11: looks so much different than it did last year. And 801 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,279 Speaker 11: I understand there are new people there. You know, o'caraco 802 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 11: is there, so Darius Smith is there, Tomlinson's there, McLeod 803 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 11: and Thornhill are there. Boy, As I say that, there 804 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 11: are a lot of new people there, but I love 805 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 11: the way they're playing, and they're very aggressive and they 806 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,319 Speaker 11: really take it to the opponent's offense, and they took 807 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 11: it to Kansas City, and I know Mahomes wasn't there, 808 00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:32,840 Speaker 11: but I think they would have still taken it to 809 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 11: him too, And I think that's the way they're going 810 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,920 Speaker 11: to be. And I love their aggressiveness, so that really 811 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 11: excites me. On the other side, Ken, I'm intrigued by 812 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 11: their offense because I don't think we saw anything offensively, 813 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 11: and I understand that was the plan. So it's mystifying 814 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 11: to me with the offense kind of being tweaked and 815 00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 11: altered and kind of custom fit to Deshaun Watson and 816 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 11: Elijah Moore coming in and joining that offense, and then 817 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,799 Speaker 11: when you put Nick Chubb finally in there, what is 818 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,439 Speaker 11: that offense going to look like? And I think that's 819 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,280 Speaker 11: a wait and see and we'll see it on September tenth. 820 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:11,839 Speaker 11: But defensively, they were very exciting to watch, Jim, I'm. 821 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 1: Glad you brought that up out a collar this morning 822 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 1: on the fan, and they were kind of complaining about 823 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,400 Speaker 1: the offense ago honestly, but I don't know we have 824 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 1: I don't think we've seen anything. They got Elijah more 825 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 1: line up in the backfield. I wouldn't be surprised if 826 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:25,640 Speaker 1: they put him in the backfield and then they just 827 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 1: threw the ball. I think that everything is kind of 828 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 1: cloaking daggering up for grabs right now. 829 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,880 Speaker 11: Yeah, And you know, I was talking with Kevin. You know, 830 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:37,360 Speaker 11: we just sit down and do our pregame interview before 831 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,840 Speaker 11: the upcoming game, and so we were sitting down Friday 832 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,239 Speaker 11: and talking about it, and really that's what he really 833 00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,360 Speaker 11: came out and said, you know, they're going to be 834 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,440 Speaker 11: in there for twenty twenty five plays offensively, but you know, 835 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 11: we're going to run a pretty basic offense here. We 836 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 11: really don't want to show anything. And then Deshaun Watson 837 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,520 Speaker 11: kind of led into that after the game when he said, basically, 838 00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,600 Speaker 11: you know, reading into his comments, you ain't seen nothing yet, 839 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,879 Speaker 11: and I would agree with him, we ain't seen nothing yet. 840 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:08,080 Speaker 11: But it really is going to be intriguing to see 841 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 11: what they do. And I don't think they're going to 842 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,920 Speaker 11: take the curtain off of that and raise that curtain 843 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,200 Speaker 11: until the Bengals and Browns get together for that opening 844 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:17,440 Speaker 11: game and then we'll see it. 845 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,040 Speaker 6: And Jim, we may have not seen anything yet, but 846 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,920 Speaker 6: based upon what you have seen thus far with the offense, 847 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,640 Speaker 6: what do you like and what do you feel is 848 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:28,320 Speaker 6: an area that needs to be improved. 849 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,960 Speaker 11: Well, I think that Watson looked so much more comfortable, 850 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,359 Speaker 11: and I understand that. I mean, I think we were 851 00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 11: all naive and it was hope really that when he 852 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,200 Speaker 11: came in last year gerroved that he would just pick 853 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,319 Speaker 11: up where he left off in Houston. But that was 854 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:46,919 Speaker 11: a long time ago, especially in the NFL brand of things. 855 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,920 Speaker 11: I mean, that's a long time seven hundred days, you know, 856 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,399 Speaker 11: in between games. So I mean, and he never did 857 00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 11: really truly look comfortable through a whole game. And I 858 00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:00,600 Speaker 11: know this has been a very small sample size in 859 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 11: game action this preseason, but he does look much more 860 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 11: comfortable in the offense, and it's their pace is really 861 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 11: quickened up to the line of scrimmage because I think 862 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 11: they're very comfortable and he's very comfortable with what he's 863 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,480 Speaker 11: going to do. So, I mean, he's the centerpiece of it, 864 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 11: and I think his comfort factor in his ability to 865 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,440 Speaker 11: do things and be very happy with the way the 866 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:29,080 Speaker 11: offense has been tweaked to let him be what he is, 867 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,239 Speaker 11: and that is a gifted quarterback, but an off the 868 00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:36,280 Speaker 11: charts athletic quarterback. I think that's the thing that I'm 869 00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 11: excited about. 870 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:41,400 Speaker 1: With the additions to the offense, do you think that 871 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,879 Speaker 1: these weapons could open things up where we might see 872 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,000 Speaker 1: a little bit more Nick Chubb than we had thought 873 00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:47,280 Speaker 1: we were going to see this season. 874 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,719 Speaker 11: Yeah, because I think a lot of people are kind 875 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:54,600 Speaker 11: of wondering that, you know, with Elijah Moore and with 876 00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 11: what they can do with Cooper and certainly you know, 877 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,719 Speaker 11: hoping that in Djoku really has a big year this 878 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,200 Speaker 11: year and Donovan Peoples Jones. You know, I think people 879 00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 11: think they're going to put it up and throw it 880 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:10,000 Speaker 11: a great deal and we're going to probably lessen Nick 881 00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,160 Speaker 11: Chubb's role in the offense. But I you know, I 882 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:14,759 Speaker 11: don't buy into that. I just don't think when you 883 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:19,000 Speaker 11: have a guy like Nick Chubb that you lessen anything. 884 00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 11: I think that you want him to be a part 885 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 11: of it. I think more and more can they'll be 886 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,440 Speaker 11: in a position where Nick Chubb can take over a 887 00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,279 Speaker 11: game late in the game hopefully and kind of run 888 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 11: a game out for them. I know that, you know, 889 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:34,040 Speaker 11: that's that's really the master plan. Each time. Let's get 890 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 11: the lead, let's have the ball, you know, late in 891 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,239 Speaker 11: the game, and let's not let the other guys get 892 00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 11: the ball and how do you do that? You run 893 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:42,920 Speaker 11: the football, who do you run it with? You run 894 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:46,440 Speaker 11: it with Nick Chubb and you task that offensive line 895 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:48,640 Speaker 11: to allow him to be able to do that. That 896 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:52,080 Speaker 11: would be the perfect plan, and so I think that 897 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:53,919 Speaker 11: that's probably the way they go into the year. 898 00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 1: Did you get a chance to see any a Notre 899 00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:57,840 Speaker 1: Dame after the game on Saturday? 900 00:40:58,360 --> 00:40:58,840 Speaker 8: I did not. 901 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,480 Speaker 11: I did not see. But what I did Ken, I 902 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,800 Speaker 11: went back and I watched the highlights, the extended highlights 903 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:09,440 Speaker 11: of the game. And you know, last year they really 904 00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,319 Speaker 11: you know, Navy gave them fits and it was in 905 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:16,160 Speaker 11: South Bend, and so I know that they're very excited 906 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 11: about their quarterback coming in, Sam Hartman going in there, 907 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:24,120 Speaker 11: and it looks as though that's a great fit for them. 908 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,239 Speaker 11: The big tell, the big hel for them will be 909 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,520 Speaker 11: now the Ohio State game. You know, they'll be able 910 00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,799 Speaker 11: to really see what they're all about when they play 911 00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:36,160 Speaker 11: Ohio State played them very well last year in Columbus, 912 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,759 Speaker 11: but they have a much better quarterback going into that 913 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,480 Speaker 11: game this year than they did last year. So that 914 00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 11: will be very interesting for Marcus Freeman and the Irish. 915 00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,200 Speaker 1: You're right about that, Jim, Thank you very much for 916 00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:47,640 Speaker 1: the time. We'll talk to you again next week. 917 00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:49,799 Speaker 11: Sir, Hey, thanks for the Notre Dame mention. 918 00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,719 Speaker 1: It was great, Yes, Sir, Jim Donovan joining us on 919 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,200 Speaker 1: the hotline. I was watching that almost that whole game. 920 00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,799 Speaker 1: After the Brons game Sam Hartman, I mean, he's got 921 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 1: a beard like a ward general and he played very 922 00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,920 Speaker 1: very well on Saturday.
