It was a real treat. It was. Um. 97 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: We do have one development letting us leading us to 98 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: believe that spring is right around the corner, and that 99 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: is that this morning, as I was taking Buddy Garritty 100 00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: on his walk, UM, a very stiff and wrong skunk 101 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 1: odor was permeating the air. Um, so they're in the 102 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: midst and I would just tell you, um that and 103 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: I know you guys know this because you have the pups. 104 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: The um, this is this is our first spring with 105 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: Buddy Garretty And it was an entire different walk experience 106 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: with the smell of that in the air. I mean, 107 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 1: my head's on a swivel. Yeah, where's it coming from? 108 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 1: And then I started thinking Buddy, almost like as a child, like, 109 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: all right, now I got to extract him from any 110 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: circumstance before it goes too far, because he's going to 111 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: be curious. He doesn't know any better. Um, you know 112 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: they're blind, right, and that their operation. They're blind, so 113 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 1: they're just ambling around smelling. Yeah. So I'm like, this 114 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: is this is just not ideal. And then I that 115 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: led me to a Google search that the best type 116 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: of defense against them is predator urine and they viewed 117 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: dog urine as predator. But then I'm thinking to myself, 118 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: every every house in ourighborhood has a dog. There should 119 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: be that predator everywhere. And I think they're undeterred. They 120 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: are undeterred. Yeah, I'm going to tell you now, we 121 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: had them living under our deck. I told you we 122 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: had to have a guy come out, and he came 123 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: out in like a full on doc Brown has a 124 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: mat suit. Yeah, no, you can't because then it goes 125 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: or whatever. They you have to trap them. It releases 126 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: on that, so you have to The idea is you 127 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: have to trap and then relocate. I guess is the 128 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: way to do it correct. Yeah. Yeah, So it's a 129 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: tough scene. Brother, it's not anywhere on my premises, but 130 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: it was in the walk that it was quite strong. 131 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: And if it's in the walk, oh, it's in the 132 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: neighborhood for there's no question. And it's gonna get one 133 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: of them. There's too many dogs. I mean there's you're 134 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: talking one, two, three, four, five. I mean in an 135 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: eleven house to elepment there's six dogs. Yeah, so there 136 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: it's coming. Someone's gonna be got. So there's gonna be 137 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: a counter. I was on a bye week and I 138 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: was just doing a show for Direct TV in New 139 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: York and I was in the airport coming home. This 140 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: is like four or five years ago, and I get 141 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: I was I remember I was a Newark airport and 142 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: I called up the lovely Miss K and she was 143 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: beside herself, sure as I had been skunked and it 144 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: was a debacle. There's no no quick fix there. Coach 145 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: there's the garage smelled for months. You got two of them, 146 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: didn't you. That's right, the garage smelled for months. Yeah, 147 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: you're not my guy. The animal warden tell both skunks 148 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: are not blind. Oh, they are nocturnal. They will not 149 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: stalk and attack the dog on a walk. Yeah, it's 150 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 1: only if they're if they feel like they are atta. 151 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: Give me, does he have any sort of tips? I'm 152 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: gonna eat some tips on what to do, all right, 153 00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:01,199 Speaker 1: So he won't stok, won't stock that's important for stock 154 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: and attack the dog on writing that down. Okay, so 155 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: that's good. But for somebody, I thought they were blind. 156 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: So they're just nocturnal. But then they hibernate too, right, 157 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: So I think that's why they're coming out now because 158 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: they think it's spring. Yeah, that's right. They're out. They're 159 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: they're out there and they're loving it.

I know 167 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: the city will forever be grateful for the job he 168 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: did as acting head coach in our AFC wildcard win 169 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: and for all his contributions while leading the Brown Special 170 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: Teams units for the past four seasons. We wish Prief 171 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: the best with his next opportunity. He is near and 172 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: dear to our heart. Yes, we love him. He was 173 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: in here a lot. He's he's a naval man, which 174 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: we bonded over U and we would have him on 175 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: all the time for Army Navy Week and anytime in between. Um, 176 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: he is a good dude. And yes, and it sucks, 177 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: I mean it really sucks. I get it. I understand it. 178 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: You know that the special teams this year were not great, 179 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: Kati York especially, probably not what they were hoping for 180 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: out of him in year one. But this one, this 181 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:23,719 Speaker 1: is a tough one. Man. It was tough to read 182 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: that this morning. Yeah, because it's it's sad. And the 183 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: reason that it's sad is because we liked him. And 184 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: this becomes very personal, as you know, and it's it's 185 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: a tough thing. To to deal with. And what's the 186 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: really hard part about it for me is that it 187 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: was kind of like there were reports that came out 188 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,319 Speaker 1: that he was safe, that you know, he had met 189 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 1: with Fancy and he was going to be back, Like 190 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: this is Fit's February what twenty first. Yeah, this is 191 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: a tough time for him as well. And it feels 192 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: like if you're reading between the tea leaves that the 193 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: Colts have Avenue head coach. Yeah, Bubba Ventrone who played 194 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: for the Browns. The Browns have requested permission and everybody 195 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: out of out of Indianapolis as Stephen Holder has kind 196 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: of basically been reporting that he'll join us later and 197 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,319 Speaker 1: he will join us at two o'clock. Yeah that basically 198 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: it's a done deal. He's coming here. So it could 199 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: be a situation where they said this is a guy 200 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 1: that we really want and so they made the change. 201 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: But tough man, honestly goodness, tough, like really really really 202 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: really tough is what I would say. Yeah, I thought 203 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 1: what he did um with Scottish Hammer in year one 204 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:38,479 Speaker 1: was pretty remarkable stuff. You know some of these Yeah, 205 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 1: he's real good. He's done a great job. What has, 206 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: unfortunately is the case with coaches. You know, we had 207 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: one of the three punt returns in the league this year, 208 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: even after losing our returner. You know, Cade York wasn't 209 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 1: as consistent. You know, we don't recover the onside kick 210 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: against the Jets, we give up a long return that 211 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: that add a big thing in the Ravens game. But 212 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: our special teams, you know, on the whole was quite good. Yeah, 213 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: And so it's it's you're sad for him, you're frustrated 214 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: for him, and it's funny. But this just goes when 215 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 1: you talk about this business, how it truly is just 216 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: a few plays here or there change the fortunes of 217 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 1: all the people coaching. When people say why do these 218 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 1: games matter so much, here's a perfect example why. You know, 219 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: our defense was top I think ten over the last 220 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 1: since week seven on our defense coordinator got fired. Now 221 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: he got a job right away. But that's how slim 222 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: the bargin for errors. And that's how much you need 223 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: to win. That's what it's about. You've got to win. 224 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: And unfortunately they did not. No, And you know, I 225 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,079 Speaker 1: think it probably you always have you wander in the 226 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,839 Speaker 1: back of your head like you invest so much in 227 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: Kade York. Yep, that that needed to be really great. 228 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: I mean, you're coming off of a year when Evan 229 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: McPherson comes in and hits the kicks that he hit 230 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 1: for Cincinnati and was a game changer in a positive sense, 231 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: and York didn't have that, didn't have that type of year. 232 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: And so I'm sure it's like, look, we just invested 233 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 1: in that, we got we gotta get this going like 234 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: that that everything else to your point, fine, but like 235 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,719 Speaker 1: the Kate York part of it needed to be sorted out. Now, 236 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: it stabilized, um, but was never the weapon. I don't 237 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: think that any that you thought he would be on 238 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: the draft. Um, So that's something that I'm sure was 239 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 1: that this was central to this. Yeah, if they think 240 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: that they can get you know, somebody who's better with kickers. Now, 241 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: I don't know that as I think about, you know, 242 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,199 Speaker 1: how Indianapolis kickers have performed, because remember then they have 243 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: Rodrigo blanket chip and he got bounced out of town 244 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: and it was I believe this year it was our 245 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: guy Case McLoughlin, who was there kicker and had a 246 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 1: nice season for them. I think he could be right. Yeah, 247 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it was Chase McLoughlin. So it's it's 248 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: just wild man, it really is. It is a wild 249 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: wild thing, and it's it's it's sad. These are sad days. 250 00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: And for the Browns. Now you've changed your your defensive coordinator, 251 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 1: You've changed your special teams coordinator. Yep, there's gonna be 252 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: a lot of pressure on the things that have not 253 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: changed with this staff, with this team to get it 254 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: right I think in twenty twenty three, and justifiably so. 255 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: We have some other comings and goings on our staff. 256 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: The Browns reporter, they expect to hire from Banda as 257 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: the new safety's coach. According to Ian Rapp Report, Ben 258 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: currently the defensive coordinator at Utah. Spate spent time at 259 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: Mississippi State in Miami. I wonder where the connections there. 260 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: He's never coached in the NFL, so I wonder where 261 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: the familiarity with Schwartz or his staff or coach safeties 262 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: at Miami from sixteen to twenty final two years there 263 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: is co defensive coordinator. I'm guessing that's Miami. The U 264 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: never played our coach in the NFL. Yeah, I don't know. Well, 265 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: it's interesting if he was his final two years is 266 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: he was co defensive coordinator at Miami and then he 267 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: went to be the defensive coordinator at Utah State. That's 268 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: the go in the opposite direction a little bit. There 269 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: must be some familiarity. I'm guessing when we see a 270 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: full a full bio, there has to be at some point. 271 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: And then the Cardinals have officially hired our our quarterbacks coach, 272 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: Drew Petsing to be their new offensive coordinator. That hoped 273 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: over the weekend as well. It's even more speaking of 274 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: mister Petsing from Josina Anderson just a few moments ago, 275 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,479 Speaker 1: I'm told the Cardinals offensive coordinator Drew Petsing has expressed 276 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: interest in having both Brown's offensive quality control coach Ashton 277 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: Grant and Bill Willis diversity coaching fellow Israel Wolf joined 278 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: him in Arizona see her last week and both of them, Yeah, 279 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: where they both were. Yeah, that's right. It's like when 280 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: it's the first they both come on the CBD studio there. 281 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: Petsing was just on a month ago, just a month ago. Yeah, 282 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: the three of them on a job. Yeah, we had 283 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: Quaysy on in this studio after he had already been 284 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: hired as the as the general manager of the Minnesota Vikings. Um, 285 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: did we do the first interview with him? Yeah? Yes, 286 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: not not other than what he did with them, like 287 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: the other than the first one and one was done 288 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: by it. Yeah that's what I thought. Um, Look, Drew 289 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: Petsing is wanted to be an offensive coordinator for years. 290 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: It is an incredible, incredible to meet the opportunity for him. 291 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: It is a meteoric rise. And I know that the 292 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: guys on this staff are were sad to see him go, 293 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: but very happy for him as well. So yeah, that's 294 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: an opening. We'll get into kind of all the openings 295 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: they're going forward. But UM, I gotta tell you, I 296 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: really don't see what it would be here. So here 297 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: I'll kind for Banda. I'm gonna run through it right here. 298 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: So Banda played at Incarnate Word Okay from two thousand 299 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: and eight to two thou ten. He was a twenty 300 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: five year old walk on, one of the oldest college 301 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: players in college shoob all the time. Stayed with the 302 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: Cardinals a student assistant named a graduate assistant at Texas 303 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: in two thou twelve behind the recommendation of a former 304 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: Incarnate Word coach who was hired at Texas. While Texas 305 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: developed a close relationship with Longhorns defensive coordinator Manny Diaz 306 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: as they both got their first jobs outside of coaching, 307 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: say what the program as they transition from mac Charlie 308 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: Strong before joining Diaz at Mississippi State is a defensive 309 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: quality control coach. Then he followed Daz to Miami, where 310 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: he's named the safety's coach. In two thousand and sixteen, 311 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: he left briefly to Diaz left briefly to accept the 312 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: head coaching position at Tampa Bando's promoted a co defensive coordinator. 313 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 1: He was named defensive coordinator and safety's coach at Utah 314 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 1: State on January fifth, and now here he is, Yeah, 315 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 1: I was just looking at there. I don't see anything 316 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: in Shortza's history that would connect, you know, unless a son, 317 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: I mean his son. I don't know that's but no, 318 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: I don't. That seems to be out of the clear blue. 319 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: So the fact that they're called that again, we don't know, 320 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: but that it's being reported he's being hired to be 321 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 1: the safety's coach again. These are reports from Ian Rappaport 322 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 1: that would lead me to believe that Brandon Lynch will 323 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 1: remain as working with the Corners as he did last year, 324 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,719 Speaker 1: and that that basically Banda would be replacing Jeff Howard 325 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: and what he did with the Safeties. But it doesn't 326 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: sound like he's been called the dB coach. But we'll 327 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 1: see that when that all comes down and is official 328 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: here for the Browns. But interesting, yeah, very very because 329 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: usually and when when something like that happens, there's a 330 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: connection somewhere, you know. But I, as you went through that, 331 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,679 Speaker 1: I didn't.

We got a lot going on and around 335 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 1: the NFL as well. UM. So one of the cool 336 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 1: things that happened this weekend has happened on Friday night. 337 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: You were at the play for the Lovely Arden and 338 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: and you and I were texting in an intermission and 339 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 1: we were talking about miss and the celebrity game we 340 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 1: had MISS on we had Friday, and we talked about, 341 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: you know, what type of what are you looking for? 342 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: From a stats standpoint, He's looking for a double double. Um. 343 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:44,239 Speaker 1: The play overall in it was brutal um. And there 344 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: was one human did you buy the way we were, 345 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: the way that it ended sidetrack? Did you know the 346 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 1: one human who I would have aided playing with having 347 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: watched or did you watch it? I watched that then 348 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,440 Speaker 1: you knew yeah, yeah, yeah. So there was a guy 349 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 1: there that this dude with this waft of hair that 350 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 1: was on missus team that shot at every time. That's 351 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: what he said. We felt like he had to be 352 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: the point guards. They're like me own or something like that. 353 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: They said, we didn't play basketball. We didn't. If we 354 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: played the basketball, we would have won. He's he's right, 355 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 1: they didn't. This one dude who's like a Brazilian famous, 356 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: like one of the top Latin art I don't know 357 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: who the hell he is, but the guy kept wanting 358 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: the ball and they kept giving it to him. He'd 359 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: be like the worst guy to ever play pick up on. 360 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: So like BIZ never got it. And not only like 361 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: they had actual people who could play, like legitimate people 362 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 1: who could play. Richard Jefferson come from he just subbed 363 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,360 Speaker 1: in him, and Carlos Boozer just came in for fun. Yeah, 364 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 1: Like they had this thing where you could like draft 365 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 1: a pro, and then a former pro could come play 366 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 1: it for a few up and down. So that's how 367 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: that was. But the basketball's dreadful. So as I'm watching 368 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: this damp thing, my kids are into it. So I 369 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: watched it and they knew this Jesser and these other 370 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: people that I'd never heard of, Um, like, my kids 371 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: a legit half court shot. I'm watching it live. It 372 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: should have been a walk off winner. It's outrageous. It 373 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: would have been a tie. Well, I didn't the say 374 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: it was a four pointer because it was from Oh 375 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: maybe maybe it would have been. It would have been 376 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 1: a walk off winner. He missed it by but getting 377 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 1: it off by about a milliss a half second probably 378 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: something like that. But in real time it was close 379 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: enough that I thought, my god, did he just he 380 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: intercepted a past? Why they threw a ball to half 381 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: court makes no sense. He intercepts a pass a half 382 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: court and then chucks it and just absolute drain knows it. 383 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 1: My initial text you was, oh, my god, like yeah, 384 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: because in live time, I'm like, he just won it 385 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 1: or at least tied it like that happened, and then 386 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: it then it changed, but it was it was so 387 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 1: great in the timing of it, because we were talking 388 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 1: with him, like you and I talked about off air, 389 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 1: like if he could do this, there's a potential for 390 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: a mister perfect homage, mister awesome. It's there. It's now. 391 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 1: Well he won. I obviously talked to him afterwards. Yeah, 392 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: he won that night. I said, you won the night. 393 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: It was that moment in headline the next day. It 394 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: was one of the thing on headlines.

Yeah, I mean that's yeah, depending on 504 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,439 Speaker 1: the shirt underneath, might not. It might be better off 505 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 1: for the world if I just kept it off. Well 506 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: you got you get weard.

I don't 522 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 1: know what it was like that that was good Today. 523 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: Is I'm gonna come with a good chicken later?

The hens have a different sound than the roosters. 527 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 1: I don't know who I am. I'm not I'm not 528 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 1: like cockadoodle do that's the rooster guy. Okay, I'm gonna 529 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 1: give like more of a buck buck buggirk type of 530 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 1: thing of it. That's kind of know what it is. 531 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 1: Maybe a little more of that. That's it. Well, we'll see, 532 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: we'll see you think see all right, I'll judge it 533 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:14,640 Speaker 1: coming your way in approximately one you'll get that then 534 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: as we go around. The NFL franchise take window officially 535 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: opens today runs through March seventh, so this is when 536 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,680 Speaker 1: you can start doing it. You won't see any I 537 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 1: don't think you'll see any real tags today. You'll see 538 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: this is things don't work out. Among the names are 539 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: big Ones, Lamar Jackson, Daniel Jones, Geno Smith, Orlando brown 540 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 1: sae Quon Barkley is up as well. The numbers um 541 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: yes about the linebacker is the most expensive because they 542 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 1: must be lumping in the outside outside linebackers, backers, and 543 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: three fours. Look at the defensive tackle up to nineteen 544 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: million right now. The best if you have a tight 545 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 1: end that's a good value. Safety is a pretty good 546 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 1: value as well. Yeah, and is it that? What did 547 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: I see about? The exclusive number on quarterbacks is like 548 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: forty five? Yeah, so what does that mean? Exclusive? That's 549 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 1: the one where they have to give you like two 550 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: first rounders or whatever so you can take any more. Yeah. Yeah, 551 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: so that's what Lamar would be in that world, I 552 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 1: would think, right, he's I don't know what's going to 553 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 1: happen with it. There are so many dominoes that are 554 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: going to fall all of a sudden at this quarterback position. 555 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: I think I think this is going to be a 556 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: wild offseason of quarterback movement. So when do you think 557 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: it needs to start being done by? Like are we 558 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: gonna get stuff next week? I don't know. Didn't you 559 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 1: see cars? And that's the next note on this is 560 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: that David Carr, the brother of Derek, who I imagine 561 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: has a good source. Just like we just sourced some news, right, 562 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: I wish we could actually source it, but we act 563 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 1: the person himself. There's been other instances in history where 564 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: we've had that properly sourced and again zip it. Yeah, 565 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:52,719 Speaker 1: but I heard it from the person. No, he literally 566 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: said it to me to me, Yeah, along with some 567 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 1: other things anyway, David saying it's going to be a 568 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 1: long process for his younger brother, despite Derek receiving high 569 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: interest from the Jets and other teams. So I don't 570 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: know why he would want to take his time. To me, 571 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: you'd want to get this deal done. If you're Derek 572 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 1: car you were in a unique position to get this 573 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 1: done prior to the starter free agency, so that all 574 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 1: of the available money is out there, right, Yeah, you 575 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: want to be the first person to sign so you 576 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: can lock in. They won't be able to pay you 577 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,479 Speaker 1: probably until that happens, right. I think it's I think 578 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: it's when he says long or it's going to be 579 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: a long process. I think what he's the way I 580 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: read it was it's not going to be tomorrow, but 581 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 1: it'll be. It's gonna be in the next two weeks. 582 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: It has to be. And I think that there are 583 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 1: really kind of two different pursuits that are happening here, 584 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: the Derek Carr pursuit. Just think about this. When's the 585 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: last time a Pro Bowl quarterback came to a true 586 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: free market. I mean Brady did, but it was that 587 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: was a different circumstance. Like Cousins is probably the last one. 588 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: It was a true free agent that played out his cap, 589 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: his his franchise tags, and was a true free agent. 590 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 1: Like to have a starting NFL Pro Bowl caliber quarterback 591 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 1: be available for no cost to you. That doesn't happen 592 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 1: very often. Cousins is the last one I could remember. 593 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: It's wild that came to market totally free. So there 594 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 1: are going to be teams, whether it's the Jets and 595 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 1: I thinking of all those teams in the in the 596 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 1: NFC South, who look at Derek Carr and say, Derek Carr, 597 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: what is he thirty thirty two somewhere in there twenty 598 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: fourteen draft. Okay, so he's probably thirty three, yeah this 599 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: full way there, Yeah, yeah, twenty two, so it'll call 600 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 1: him thirty one, yeah somewhere in there. So he's gonna 601 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,719 Speaker 1: have There are gonna be teams that look at him 602 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: and go, we can have Derek Carr for nothing in 603 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 1: terms of assets, for for for nothing for the next 604 00:31:55,680 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: five years. And what what does that get us? Does 605 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 1: that get us what let's use Cousins. Does that get 606 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 1: us what Minnesota has been the last five six years 607 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: For many teams, that's a big win. That's winning the 608 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: NFC South. If you put him on one of those teams, 609 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: he'd be the best quarterback in the division. You win 610 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: the division, you can win a I mean they want 611 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 1: a playoff game in Minnesota with cousins, Like it's all. 612 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 1: If you want to just use that as a doppelganger, 613 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: then there are going to be other places that say, 614 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: with a quarterback, we can go win a super Bowl yep, 615 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 1: and that quarterback might be Aaron Rodgers yep. And we 616 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: will give up first round picks in order to get 617 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: that window, which is the Stafford Rams window. So I 618 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 1: think there's a lot of And then you mention the 619 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 1: other dominoes, the Lamar domino in this whatever the Bears 620 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 1: do at the top of the draft, there's a lot 621 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: going on. Good Derek car though, I feel like you 622 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,560 Speaker 1: could even say he could be Stafford Ish at this 623 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 1: stage in his career when he was good. I don't 624 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: think he could be in the Afcno in the NFC though, 625 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 1: I think you could definitely see him taking the team 626 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 1: to a super Bowl. He turns thirty two on March 627 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: the twenty eighth. He turns thirty two. He Derek Carr 628 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 1: has played with I was reading something about it. So, 629 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: he's a four time Pro bowler, he has played with 630 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 1: in his career the worst dvo A defense and special 631 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: teams of like any quarterback ever. I believe that. So 632 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: I think he's unfairly judged by how awkward he was 633 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 1: on Hard knocks. He is a strange guy. I think 634 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 1: people saw him on hard Knocks and went, this is 635 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,959 Speaker 1: a weird dude, a different dude, different way of going 636 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 1: about his business and so, and I think he's held 637 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 1: back by that. And I think it's also you mentioned 638 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: four time Pro bowler in the AFC. Yeah, I mean 639 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 1: that's where all the quarterback talent has been prior to 640 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 1: this last season, which was not great for him. Prior 641 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 1: to this last season, he had five straight years where 642 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 1: he completed at least sixty seven point three percent of 643 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 1: his passes through for more than four thousand yards through 644 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 1: for more than averaged over well over twenty touchdowns, averaged 645 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 1: about maybe ten interceptions per year, and had a quarterback 646 00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 1: rating that was right around one hundred for five straight seasons. 647 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 1: He did that. Yeah, that's a track record, man, Like 648 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: he can play, That's what I'm saying. Like, if he's 649 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,719 Speaker 1: in the NFC, that's and it's a team that's a 650 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 1: quarterback away in the NFC, you're a contender. Yeah, you know, 651 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 1: wherever that may be. I don't know if that's in 652 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 1: the one of those NFC South teams. Is that Washington? 653 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 1: Is it the Giants if they don't do something with 654 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,320 Speaker 1: Dan Dimes. Yeah, the NFCS is the toughest division to 655 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:26,759 Speaker 1: go into a bar. But if you can get to this, 656 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 1: like you said, to your point, the South, you have 657 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 1: a chance to really, I think, be good pretty quickly. 658 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,080 Speaker 1: I think the Saints would be an intriguing play landing 659 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 1: spot for him. Um, I still think at Land is 660 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 1: a great landing spot for Lamar Jackson. Go ahead and 661 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:40,879 Speaker 1: get him right out of the AFC and get him 662 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 1: down there. I think that he would That would fit 663 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:46,799 Speaker 1: well with what they do down there. Yeah, it's gonna 664 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,759 Speaker 1: be interesting if I'm a quarterback. Yeah, I want to 665 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 1: go to the bites at the Apple and I want 666 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 1: swings at the plate. For all the analogies, which means 667 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 1: getting into the playoffs. Your path through the playoffs is 668 00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,840 Speaker 1: significantly easier in the NFC than it is the A. 669 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,760 Speaker 1: The period end of story, hard stop, like not even close, 670 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 1: not close, right, So, but that those are the I 671 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,359 Speaker 1: think you'll you'll get a feeling on this next week 672 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:10,759 Speaker 1: at the combine. We'll get a feeling on a lot 673 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:12,840 Speaker 1: of this stuff. A couple of the coaching updates. The 674 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 1: Enemy officially agreed to terms as the offensive coordinator and 675 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: assistant head coach in Washington. The Colts expected to name 676 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 1: Jim Bob Cooter their new offensive coordinator. Great name, best name. 677 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 1: I mean, it's huge, weird for a name like that 678 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 1: to go from Jacksonville to Indie. Feels like Jacksonvill's started it. 679 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:34,720 Speaker 1: He was in Detroit, right, Yeah, he definitely was. Charges 680 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 1: are promoting Derek Ainsley Annsley as their new defensive coordinator. 681 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: Tom Pella sero. So uh. The last item here on 682 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,360 Speaker 1: this Around the NFL and then around the sports world landscape. 683 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 1: Saturday night, I had what has become a very unique 684 00:35:53,280 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 1: sports experience, one where I saw something live that was stunning, shocking, 685 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 1: wonderful and did not see it coming in any way, 686 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:08,719 Speaker 1: shape or form. I don't know even know how I 687 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,800 Speaker 1: stumbled onto it. It was nobody saw it coming. The 688 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 1: boys had gone to bed. I didn't. And it's funny 689 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 1: because I was last week I think you and I 690 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,360 Speaker 1: were talking about this. I didn't even know who the 691 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 1: four people were in the dunk contest except for Kenny 692 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 1: Martin Junior only because I knew his dad, right. I 693 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,400 Speaker 1: didn't even know there was a Kenyan Martin junior. Same that, 694 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,400 Speaker 1: I didn't know who existed. And I just happened to 695 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 1: let's see where they are on All Star Saturday Night. Yep, 696 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:37,439 Speaker 1: And I turned it on and mc McClung goes forth, 697 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,320 Speaker 1: which leads me to go to, who the hell is this? 698 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,360 Speaker 1: Who's this guy? Who's Matt McClung. So I get in 699 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 1: and I'm looking in Yeah, okay, all time leading high 700 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: school scorer Virginia, played at Georgetown, played at Texas Tech, 701 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 1: Gee League guy, played two games for the Sixers, Like, 702 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 1: who is this guy? And then he proceeded to give 703 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 1: me one of the most unique sports moments of just 704 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,239 Speaker 1: an explosion onto this that you did not see coming. 705 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 1: I had no clue he could do anything. I mean, 706 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,960 Speaker 1: no idea, Adam, you have no idea. And by the way, 707 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 1: his resume, I don't even resentd He was the only 708 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 1: thing that maybe kind of I would say, tipped me off, 709 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 1: is that you just read his resume, and that doesn't 710 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 1: feel like you should be allowed to be in the 711 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,560 Speaker 1: NBA Slam Dunk contest with that resume. Somebody's in it. 712 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 1: So I just thought, well, just needed warm bodies to 713 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,759 Speaker 1: be in the thing. He had to be pretty so yeah, 714 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:34,800 Speaker 1: upon further inspection, he's known to for this, Like apparently 715 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,719 Speaker 1: there's YouTube channels that have his stuff. Okay, so that's 716 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 1: how he got it. But for most of us nothing, 717 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 1: I knew nothing, never watching it live. Heard his name, 718 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,440 Speaker 1: so I saw I don't know if it was your tweet. 719 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,919 Speaker 1: I saw a tweet about it and then put it on. Okay, 720 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:50,960 Speaker 1: so you maybe missed the first dunk lot, but then 721 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:52,880 Speaker 1: I saw it. I watched three. Yes, I watched the 722 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 1: next three yeah, and I was just like, he's floating, 723 00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:00,279 Speaker 1: he's done. He did. He did three dunks I've never 724 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:05,120 Speaker 1: seen before. I've never seen anybody hurdle two back and back, 725 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 1: tap the backboard and dump and then ducket. Yeah. I've 726 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:11,320 Speaker 1: never seen anybody do a five forty ever. Yeah, and 727 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:16,080 Speaker 1: I've never seen anybody jump and then double pump a windmill. 728 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 1: That that was I've never seen that. He just he 729 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:23,000 Speaker 1: was suspended in air. Yes, Glenn Robinson Junior was that 730 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 1: who jumped over two people. Somebody did a similar one 731 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,000 Speaker 1: to him, but didn't tap the backboard where they went over, 732 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 1: and then it ended up being a reverse over two 733 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 1: with a guy like on other guy's shoulders. The five 734 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,279 Speaker 1: forty was similar to somebody else, but everything he did 735 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 1: was with Warre Panash. It was just better. The fact 736 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:41,239 Speaker 1: that he's six two, yeah, only made it more extraordinary 737 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,120 Speaker 1: to watch because you saw the difference from his feet 738 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,200 Speaker 1: to the ground. Was was what it was. I was 739 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,280 Speaker 1: trying to think of other things that were just shocking 740 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: commets out of nowhere, and I thought of like, yeah, 741 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,520 Speaker 1: cel Puig was like that with the Dodgers, Like nobody 742 00:38:57,880 --> 00:38:59,799 Speaker 1: he's like came over in a boat at night from 743 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 1: but and then all of a sudden he was hitting 744 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 1: eat off for the Dodgers and hitting yeah, eight hundred. 745 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:06,719 Speaker 1: I was like, is this babe Ruth? And then he 746 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,279 Speaker 1: did it for a whole year and then disappeared. Same thing. Yeah, 747 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,759 Speaker 1: And the only other one was like Lisanity Jeremy Lynde 748 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 1: did that with the Knicks. But it wasn't like this 749 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:19,399 Speaker 1: was a live moment. We aren't surprised much as sports 750 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,960 Speaker 1: fans anymore, we're smarter than we've ever been. We know 751 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,200 Speaker 1: who's good when they're fifteen, you know, so like to 752 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 1: have somebody I've never heard of dunk, Like, I've never 753 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 1: seen anybody dunk, and I'm not saying it's been players too. 754 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 1: Was also Yeah, I was like, they're like, wait, what 755 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 1: what are we watching? And then who game was it? 756 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,320 Speaker 1: Lisa Leslie? They gave him a nine? Yeah, she blew it. 757 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:39,920 Speaker 1: That was the only My wife was so mad. That 758 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:41,799 Speaker 1: was the only nine. Everything else and they all should 759 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,920 Speaker 1: have been fifties gave him. It should have been four 760 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,399 Speaker 1: perfect scores. He never missed, by the way, didn't miss 761 00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 1: which that's critical. I think was Shack's advice, don't miss one. 762 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,960 Speaker 1: Do that. That's a win. Um. That was Can we 763 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:58,000 Speaker 1: talk about Sunday night?

Per Zribek, 815 00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:58,800 Speaker 1: who we've had many many times on the program. He 816 00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:02,040 Speaker 1: had been the Ravens and he'd been there quarterback coach. There. 817 00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:05,400 Speaker 1: We need a defensive line coach because Chris Kiffen is 818 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,479 Speaker 1: no longer with us, and then a dB defensive backs 819 00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:11,160 Speaker 1: coach and passing game coordinator as well. So there's a lot, 820 00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:13,840 Speaker 1: got a lot. It's got to get sorted out. We 821 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,319 Speaker 1: got a lot to do. And you know, you look 822 00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:21,800 Speaker 1: at offensively, Stefanski obviously head coach, and he runs the offense. 823 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:25,280 Speaker 1: He's back at Alex van Peltz, back at oc Stump 824 00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:28,360 Speaker 1: Mitchell back with the running backs. You've got Chatosha with 825 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,719 Speaker 1: the receiver, Cec McCartney with the tight ends, and the 826 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:34,640 Speaker 1: great Bill Callahan assisted by Scott Peters with the offensive line. 827 00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 1: So you've got an opening quarterback coach? Do you need one? 828 00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:39,719 Speaker 1: Not necessarily, I mean Alex Van Pelt could easily be 829 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:41,800 Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator and quarterback coach. I don't know that 830 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,759 Speaker 1: you need one, but obviously that is a change with 831 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:48,480 Speaker 1: Drew gone, so perhaps they will want one there. But defensively, 832 00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,719 Speaker 1: you know, you've got some changes now, and it feels like, 833 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:55,279 Speaker 1: really the opening is d line coach. If Banda is 834 00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:59,120 Speaker 1: coming in to be the replaced Jeff Howard with the safeties, 835 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,279 Speaker 1: Brandon Lynch, you know, from all accounts, is still here. 836 00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,480 Speaker 1: We haven't heard anything different on that. With the corners, 837 00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:10,160 Speaker 1: and then we need special teams, and it sounds like 838 00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,560 Speaker 1: it we could have the special teams one sounds like 839 00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:15,480 Speaker 1: it could be filled quicker now as I understand it, 840 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,520 Speaker 1: the Colts have to grant permission, and we'll talk all 841 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,640 Speaker 1: about this with Stephen Holder. Now, the Browns could also 842 00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:24,440 Speaker 1: just do what the exactly what the Washington commanders did 843 00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:26,560 Speaker 1: with bi Enemy, which is say, oh yeah, you're the 844 00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,279 Speaker 1: offensive cordiner and assistant head coach. So he could just 845 00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,839 Speaker 1: be social teams coordinator and assistant head coach. To give 846 00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 1: it a promotion and then you don't have to get 847 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:39,560 Speaker 1: their permission. Yeah, a lot of turmoil and against some 848 00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:44,120 Speaker 1: odd odd timing of the changes that have happened here 849 00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,040 Speaker 1: for the Browns, you know, with Drew Petsing leaving this week, 850 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,520 Speaker 1: your special teams coordinator leaving, and again it feels like, 851 00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,560 Speaker 1: and we'll get more insight from Holder, I would guess 852 00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:56,840 Speaker 1: that the Browns just really really wanted Bubba Ventrone. And 853 00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,719 Speaker 1: with the coaching change in Indianapolis and that coming is 854 00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:01,799 Speaker 1: La as it did with given that it came from 855 00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:06,239 Speaker 1: the Eagles after the Super Bowl, that now that's a possibility, 856 00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,440 Speaker 1: and so they decided to make this move. I think 857 00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,360 Speaker 1: one I'm with you, it alls the timing of it 858 00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:15,759 Speaker 1: is not normally and priefs our guy, so we you 859 00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:17,960 Speaker 1: know that bums you. But the the other thing is 860 00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:21,080 Speaker 1: is like the whole league's behind schedule. Yes, you know, 861 00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,600 Speaker 1: like there weren't This was not a coaching This was 862 00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:28,239 Speaker 1: not a coaching window where there were there was Sean 863 00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:32,600 Speaker 1: Payton and then everybody else. There weren't a bunch of 864 00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:34,920 Speaker 1: guys out there who we were waiting on. No, if 865 00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:37,480 Speaker 1: I mean the I it was like both in Indie 866 00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:39,680 Speaker 1: and in in Arizona, it was like, well, I guess 867 00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,399 Speaker 1: we might as well hire the coordinators in Philly. They're good, 868 00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:44,719 Speaker 1: and so they did. It's not like anyone was talking 869 00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:49,799 Speaker 1: about Gannon and I'm blanking on the guy in Indie. Yeah, 870 00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:51,879 Speaker 1: we'll have to find out how he says. It wasn't 871 00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,520 Speaker 1: like we were hearing their names. Yeah, you know, it 872 00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,439 Speaker 1: wasn't like Robert Sala. When it was like someone's gonna 873 00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,320 Speaker 1: hire Robert Sala, like just a matter of he was 874 00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:01,839 Speaker 1: gonna pick his right spot. That wasn't the case here, 875 00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:06,759 Speaker 1: Like it felt like Indian Arizona kind of exhausted options 876 00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,400 Speaker 1: and then ended up with the two coordinators for Philly 877 00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,120 Speaker 1: for lack of better options. Yes, and I think so 878 00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:17,560 Speaker 1: that made the coaching carousel last a lot longer than 879 00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,600 Speaker 1: it normally did, because normally you got guys hired in 880 00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,719 Speaker 1: the first couple of weeks. It feels like, yeah, and 881 00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:26,040 Speaker 1: there were many job open I mean, even Reich was late. 882 00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,400 Speaker 1: It's not like he was right away in Carolina. A 883 00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,439 Speaker 1: lot of them were down the road a couple of weeks. 884 00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:34,960 Speaker 1: Yeah for sure. Yeah, for sure. Strange hiring season and 885 00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:37,600 Speaker 1: it just has kind of created it's your point a 886 00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,960 Speaker 1: late start on a lot of these coaching situations that 887 00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,480 Speaker 1: have happened in the Browns obviously are kind of caught 888 00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:45,759 Speaker 1: in that with one of those new coaches hired after 889 00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:47,920 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl plucking our quarterback coach to be there 890 00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:51,000 Speaker 1: oc and now it feels like we are plucking a 891 00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:54,759 Speaker 1: navailable special teams coordinator to replace the great prief. All right, 892 00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:57,440 Speaker 1: so we'll ask Stephen Holder, he's been all over this 893 00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,480 Speaker 1: ESPN NFL reporter in Indie, what he can tell us 894 00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:02,920 Speaker 1: about Bubba Ventron and about this process that will come 895 00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:04,080 Speaker 1: up at the top of the hour. You listened to 896 00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:06,040 Speaker 1: Clevean Bron's Daily brought you by bally Bet coming soon 897 00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:16,399 Speaker 1: to Ohio and eight fifty ESPN Cleveland Cleveland Browns Daily 898 00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,160 Speaker 1: brought to you by bally Bet coming soon to Ohio 899 00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:28,640 Speaker 1: on a fifty ESPN Cleveland. All right, let's head out 900 00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:30,600 Speaker 1: on the Twisted T Hotline, brought you by Twisted T 901 00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,400 Speaker 1: hard Ic official sponsor for your Cleveland Browns. Keep it 902 00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:36,359 Speaker 1: Twisted Cleveland. On the other end, we find ESPN NFL 903 00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,360 Speaker 1: reporter Stephen Holder. Stephen, thank you so much covering the 904 00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,719 Speaker 1: Colts over in Indie. A lot of Bubba Ventrone. What 905 00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,279 Speaker 1: can you tell us where we stand now? Is is 906 00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:49,040 Speaker 1: this thing done as you understand it or close? I 907 00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,279 Speaker 1: don't think done is the right description, but I but 908 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:55,759 Speaker 1: I do think there's a lot of expectation that he'll 909 00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:58,440 Speaker 1: end up in Cleveland. That is definitely true. I mean 910 00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:03,320 Speaker 1: I heard about this early this morning, and the feedback 911 00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:05,600 Speaker 1: I was getting is that he's on his way to Cleveland. 912 00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:09,080 Speaker 1: Obviously that might have been overstated by some of those sources, 913 00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:13,880 Speaker 1: but but that speaks to the expectation of people in 914 00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:17,640 Speaker 1: the league right now that this is likely to happen. 915 00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,439 Speaker 1: So we'll see. I mean, nothing's ever done until it's done. 916 00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:23,000 Speaker 1: And the one thing I'd say is that there has 917 00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:26,640 Speaker 1: been a lot of movement here and this this hiring 918 00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,279 Speaker 1: cycle has been if you talk to people that they've 919 00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:32,359 Speaker 1: they've all kind of said, this has been just an 920 00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:36,040 Speaker 1: unusually busy hiring cycle. So things have been have become 921 00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:39,200 Speaker 1: a little unpredictable. But but I would not be surprised 922 00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:42,359 Speaker 1: if this gets done, that's for sure. Yeah, it's been 923 00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,400 Speaker 1: a strange cycle, and it's also because it's been a 924 00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:46,800 Speaker 1: delayed cycle. The Cults, one of the two teams hiring 925 00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:49,040 Speaker 1: you know, one of the coordinators of the Eagles after 926 00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,759 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. So you're having this movement in February. 927 00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:57,279 Speaker 1: What you know would make Ventrone want to leave? Did? Did? 928 00:48:57,800 --> 00:48:59,440 Speaker 1: And how do you say you're a new head coach's 929 00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:03,680 Speaker 1: name the last name Shane Stike? St did Stiken have 930 00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:05,879 Speaker 1: a special team's coordinator of his own? Because you look 931 00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,680 Speaker 1: up the resume and Bubba Ventron's units have been top 932 00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,160 Speaker 1: five every year that he's been there, So how has 933 00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:12,880 Speaker 1: it come to be that he would be available? And 934 00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,640 Speaker 1: it almost feels like that's the reason Preefer was let 935 00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,160 Speaker 1: go today by the Browns is because Bubba Ventrone is 936 00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:22,240 Speaker 1: now suddenly available to them. Yeah, I mean it is interesting, 937 00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:26,279 Speaker 1: like you can connect the definitely does make sense if 938 00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:29,880 Speaker 1: do that now. To answer your question, I would say this, 939 00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:33,839 Speaker 1: when when the Colts introduced Stiken last week, I guess 940 00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:36,600 Speaker 1: a week ago today, they had the press confidence the 941 00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:40,759 Speaker 1: coaches who were still on the staff or all in attendance, 942 00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:45,120 Speaker 1: including Bubba Ventrone the defensive staff, which we expect to 943 00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:48,759 Speaker 1: be retained, but hasn't been any official announcement, And so 944 00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,279 Speaker 1: I was working under the assumption, like a lot of 945 00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:54,080 Speaker 1: people that Bubba Ventrone was coming back. I know that 946 00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:57,360 Speaker 1: he is held in high regard in the organization, So 947 00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:01,400 Speaker 1: it may just be as simple this just came about 948 00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:04,480 Speaker 1: that It's possible. It's very very possible this just came about. 949 00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:08,480 Speaker 1: I don't have any indication that this was something that 950 00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:10,839 Speaker 1: had been brewing for a long time. I reached out 951 00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:13,680 Speaker 1: to a couple of sources in the Culture organization today 952 00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:16,080 Speaker 1: and they were unaware until this news came out. So 953 00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:19,080 Speaker 1: I do think this is something that's just unfolding. And 954 00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:22,719 Speaker 1: so what I'm saying is I presume this opportunity just 955 00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:26,320 Speaker 1: came up, and there's a couple of things that would 956 00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:30,920 Speaker 1: perhaps right, perhaps on speculating, but perhaps make this appealing 957 00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:34,000 Speaker 1: to him. Bubba Ventrone has a lot of interest in 958 00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:35,920 Speaker 1: becoming a head coach in the long term, and I 959 00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,200 Speaker 1: think he has the stuff to do it, I really 960 00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:42,239 Speaker 1: do now to do that. Maybe he gets I don't 961 00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:45,279 Speaker 1: know what the Browns staff currently looks like, but maybe 962 00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:48,279 Speaker 1: there's an associate head coach kind of title to be 963 00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:52,880 Speaker 1: had that would certainly be appealing. Money is always a 964 00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:58,160 Speaker 1: factor for all of us. Okay, that's that's certainly could 965 00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:00,839 Speaker 1: be a factor here. So you know, I just think 966 00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:04,960 Speaker 1: when you're looking at your long term goals, sometimes you 967 00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,320 Speaker 1: know you have to kind of move around and position 968 00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:09,520 Speaker 1: yourself to get where you want to go. That there's 969 00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:13,280 Speaker 1: could be a lot of reasons that we aren't aware 970 00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:16,759 Speaker 1: of that maybe make this appealing to bubble control. But 971 00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,239 Speaker 1: you are right, he is definitely I think among the 972 00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:24,240 Speaker 1: elite special teams coordinators in the NFL, have the Colts 973 00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:27,240 Speaker 1: granted the permission we know the Browns have asked for permission? 974 00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:29,320 Speaker 1: Is that you're interesting that the Colts have granted that 975 00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:32,360 Speaker 1: permission at this time. So it's a little unclear. I 976 00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:36,600 Speaker 1: mean it certainly impairs that way. I mean, every indication 977 00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:41,799 Speaker 1: is that there's strong interest there. I think generally when 978 00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:45,840 Speaker 1: these when permission is requested, when we hear about it, 979 00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,800 Speaker 1: it's usually because the coach is going to make the 980 00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:54,240 Speaker 1: interview right. Generally, every blue moon you hear about permission 981 00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:58,160 Speaker 1: being denied, that generally doesn't doesn't happen very often because 982 00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:01,400 Speaker 1: those conversations tend to not come out. So yeah, a 983 00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:04,560 Speaker 1: little speculative there, But my interpretation of this is that 984 00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:06,960 Speaker 1: it has been what we also are unclear about is 985 00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:09,400 Speaker 1: and a lot of times this is hard with with 986 00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:12,879 Speaker 1: assistant coaches, we don't always know their contract status. It's 987 00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:15,759 Speaker 1: possible his contracts up or about to be up. I 988 00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:19,560 Speaker 1: think those assistant coach contracts come up usually at some 989 00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:23,000 Speaker 1: point after the Super Bowl. So if not, if not 990 00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:26,680 Speaker 1: already and pretty soon. And so if that's the case, 991 00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:29,400 Speaker 1: then you know, then it would just kind of be 992 00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:31,600 Speaker 1: almost a formality if you will, you know, if a 993 00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:34,440 Speaker 1: coach is coming out of his contract. But but I'm 994 00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:36,720 Speaker 1: not clear on that part. But but it does seem 995 00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:41,239 Speaker 1: as though that that that permission was granted. And look, 996 00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:43,480 Speaker 1: I think the coach the coat, having just made a 997 00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:47,120 Speaker 1: coaching change, you know, I think maybe in a situation 998 00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:49,560 Speaker 1: like that, you want to kind of do your guys 999 00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:52,200 Speaker 1: a solid if they're looking for other opportunities, which would 1000 00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:55,640 Speaker 1: be understandable. The last thing I would say is, I 1001 00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:58,000 Speaker 1: have no idea if this is a factor here, But 1002 00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:02,759 Speaker 1: I'm just mentioning this. U Trone was passed over for 1003 00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:06,080 Speaker 1: the interim head coach job when Frank Reich was dismissed 1004 00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:08,640 Speaker 1: in mid season. I know he would have been very 1005 00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:11,680 Speaker 1: interested in in having that title, and I think I 1006 00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:14,000 Speaker 1: happen to think he would have been probably the best 1007 00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:17,080 Speaker 1: choice and so you know, something to keep in mind, 1008 00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:19,279 Speaker 1: you know, way in the back of our heads if 1009 00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:21,520 Speaker 1: and when this happens, maybe a question to ask him 1010 00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:25,400 Speaker 1: talking to the great Stephen Holder ESPN NFL reporter and 1011 00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:28,719 Speaker 1: Indie about Bubba ben Trone current special teams coordinator there 1012 00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:31,560 Speaker 1: potentially could be the future one here. Um. You've mentioned 1013 00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:33,799 Speaker 1: this on a couple of your answers, and I've taken 1014 00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:36,360 Speaker 1: notes certainly about him having the stuff to be a 1015 00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:40,400 Speaker 1: head coach. What what does he have? What is their 1016 00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:42,239 Speaker 1: twom or is it just it? And if you have it, 1017 00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:44,839 Speaker 1: he does, what can you tell us about him the man, 1018 00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:48,000 Speaker 1: his coaching style that would lead you to lead you 1019 00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:51,520 Speaker 1: to have that type of stance on him. Yeah, So 1020 00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:54,600 Speaker 1: there is sort of the intangible stuff, right, which you 1021 00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:58,000 Speaker 1: kind of mentioned there. There's that, and and if I 1022 00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:00,520 Speaker 1: ever figure it out, you know, how to playing, I'll 1023 00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:04,080 Speaker 1: bottle it and sell it. But by failing that, I 1024 00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:06,080 Speaker 1: think everybody kind of knows what you mean, right. It's 1025 00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:08,120 Speaker 1: just there's a there's a vibe about that you that 1026 00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:10,520 Speaker 1: you get from some guys, right who just kind of 1027 00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:13,279 Speaker 1: have it. So there's that, and then coupled with with 1028 00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:16,160 Speaker 1: the things that his players say about him and just 1029 00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:19,680 Speaker 1: the way that he coaches them hard but also uh 1030 00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,759 Speaker 1: gets the best out of them. But I think there 1031 00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:25,200 Speaker 1: are some also there are also some tangible things we 1032 00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:27,719 Speaker 1: can point to, and it's a couple of things. Number one, 1033 00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:29,560 Speaker 1: I think he has a really good eye for talent. 1034 00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:33,279 Speaker 1: I can point to uh a few years ago and 1035 00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:35,960 Speaker 1: I think when he first got here. In fact, I 1036 00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:40,080 Speaker 1: can point to them, you know, looking at Rigo Blankenship 1037 00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:44,520 Speaker 1: as um a you know, a guy who was coming 1038 00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:47,759 Speaker 1: in as an undrafted free agent UH punter kicker I 1039 00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:50,640 Speaker 1: think out of the University of Hawaii. UH. They end 1040 00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:53,400 Speaker 1: up keeping him as their their punter and he becomes 1041 00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:55,440 Speaker 1: one of the best punters in the NFL. You know 1042 00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:58,880 Speaker 1: that was that was really uh Bubba Ventrone who who 1043 00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:03,000 Speaker 1: saw that in him and really um you know, was 1044 00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:06,080 Speaker 1: open to that uh and and convinced and that that's 1045 00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,239 Speaker 1: the other thing could sold the organization on that too, 1046 00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:11,040 Speaker 1: which is also important. The other thing I would say 1047 00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:14,120 Speaker 1: is there have been a number of I think really 1048 00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:18,040 Speaker 1: good course special teams players here who who really you know, 1049 00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:20,680 Speaker 1: we're on the friends of the roster and and we're 1050 00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:24,800 Speaker 1: kept only at the behest of Bubba Ventron you know, 1051 00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,800 Speaker 1: otherwise would have been cut and they weren't course special 1052 00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:30,560 Speaker 1: teamers when when he convinced the team to keep them, 1053 00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:34,520 Speaker 1: but he developed and developed them into course special teamers 1054 00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:37,040 Speaker 1: because he saw it in them. And some of those 1055 00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:39,719 Speaker 1: guys have gone on to become rotational players or even 1056 00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:43,560 Speaker 1: starters as well on offensive defense. So I just think 1057 00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:46,920 Speaker 1: his ivor talent is is really really good and sharp, 1058 00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:50,239 Speaker 1: and I think you that can only help you, you know, 1059 00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:52,320 Speaker 1: when you're making the case, you know, for a bigger 1060 00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:55,759 Speaker 1: role with any organization, Steve, and I know you gotta run. 1061 00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:57,800 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for your time, really appreciate it. 1062 00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:01,919 Speaker 1: On short notice. Hey anytime, guys. It's Stephen Holder, ESPN 1063 00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:05,680 Speaker 1: NFL reporter in Indie on Bubba Ventrone potentially being in 1064 00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:08,680 Speaker 1: the mix here. Great get by Gibbe to get to 1065 00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,160 Speaker 1: get him, Stephen Holder to talk Bubba Ventrone, who was 1066 00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:13,320 Speaker 1: went by Ray Ventrone when he was with the Browns. 1067 00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:16,759 Speaker 1: And I think Bubba's got more of a much better ring. Yeah, great, 1068 00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:21,360 Speaker 1: bubba Um. It sounds like from him that people in 1069 00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:24,520 Speaker 1: Indie kind of think this is it's happening now. I 1070 00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:27,520 Speaker 1: will note the Browns have also requested to interview Giants 1071 00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:31,920 Speaker 1: as assistant special teams coordinator Anthony Blevins. According to multi Reports, 1072 00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,560 Speaker 1: he interviewed with Denver for their special teams coordinator opening 1073 00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:37,880 Speaker 1: and is currently with the Giants. So it feels like 1074 00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:41,239 Speaker 1: they felt like they had to let prefer go to 1075 00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:44,640 Speaker 1: get a shot at Bubba Ventrone, right, And that's from 1076 00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:47,640 Speaker 1: Stephen Holders talk about it. It sounds like he feels 1077 00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:50,520 Speaker 1: pretty good that it's happening, so we'll have to stay there. 1078 00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:52,600 Speaker 1: He is. He's in considered to be, as you heard, 1079 00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:56,319 Speaker 1: an elite special teams coordinator. His units have ranked, as 1080 00:56:56,360 --> 00:57:01,600 Speaker 1: I mentioned, near the top in terms of performance, certainly 1081 00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:05,680 Speaker 1: the last few years. According to the Pro Football Focus grades, 1082 00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:09,680 Speaker 1: his special teams units have been basically top five in 1083 00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:11,680 Speaker 1: each of the last five years. There was one exception 1084 00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:14,840 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, but last year fourth, twenty twenty one, second, 1085 00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:18,800 Speaker 1: twenty first, twenty nine, twenty eighteen, fifth, So four last 1086 00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:21,680 Speaker 1: five years in the top five, including a first and 1087 00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:25,400 Speaker 1: twenty a second and twenty one. So sounds pretty good. 1088 00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,840 Speaker 1: Sounds pretty good, and we need to be you know, 1089 00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:32,000 Speaker 1: we are a team that has a lot of pressure 1090 00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:35,600 Speaker 1: on it, and you cannot discount the fact that some 1091 00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:38,600 Speaker 1: of the games got away from us this year because 1092 00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:41,680 Speaker 1: of special teams. Jets game, you have a mix miss 1093 00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:45,600 Speaker 1: extra point, you failure to recover an onsidekick, Chargers games, 1094 00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:48,160 Speaker 1: multiple miss field goals, including one that would have won 1095 00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:50,600 Speaker 1: the game. And I think those early season ones, the 1096 00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:54,120 Speaker 1: punt returned against the Ravens, you know, those are all 1097 00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:57,080 Speaker 1: in the first seven weeks. You win those three games, 1098 00:57:57,120 --> 00:58:01,240 Speaker 1: I think this is a completely completely different season. Well, 1099 00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:04,480 Speaker 1: and I think the other thing is you're And that's 1100 00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:06,680 Speaker 1: why I thought it was interesting that Stephen kept talking about, 1101 00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:08,640 Speaker 1: you know that has this stuff to be a head coach, 1102 00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:11,400 Speaker 1: you know when you think about and Priefed did a 1103 00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:15,080 Speaker 1: great job in the wildcard game and coached that game 1104 00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:18,360 Speaker 1: and got a victory, So forever indebted for that. But 1105 00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:21,040 Speaker 1: I think you're also and this was probably the case 1106 00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:25,800 Speaker 1: with Joe too. You know, there a little bit of 1107 00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:31,040 Speaker 1: juice maybe injected. So maybe if he has those qualities 1108 00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:34,200 Speaker 1: whatever that it is, if he has those qualities, you know, 1109 00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:37,360 Speaker 1: that leadership, that vocal. Uh. You know, we talked about 1110 00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:39,760 Speaker 1: it a lot this season about you know, the accountability 1111 00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:42,320 Speaker 1: and leadership, and you got to have some guys who 1112 00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:45,160 Speaker 1: are following me to freedom guys. Schwartz certainly is that 1113 00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:48,600 Speaker 1: has that that was well well documented at his press conference. 1114 00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:50,680 Speaker 1: Knew what you're getting in there, and Fintron has that too, 1115 00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:53,040 Speaker 1: then there's a little bit of a balance. Here's what 1116 00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:56,040 Speaker 1: Colts linebacker e J. Speed had to say on his 1117 00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:59,320 Speaker 1: relationship with special teams coordinator Bubba Ventrone. He said, quote, 1118 00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:01,400 Speaker 1: he the type of coach that makes you believe you 1119 00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:03,400 Speaker 1: can be more than what you are. He's always gonna 1120 00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:05,080 Speaker 1: be honest about how he's feeling and what you should 1121 00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:06,400 Speaker 1: be doing. You can come to him and talk to 1122 00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:08,000 Speaker 1: him about anything you've got going on, and he's not 1123 00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:09,680 Speaker 1: gonna colly you. He's going to give you a grown 1124 00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:11,960 Speaker 1: man answer. Any coaches the same way. He expect you 1125 00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:13,160 Speaker 1: to do it right every time. It has to be 1126 00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:14,840 Speaker 1: every rep. It's not like, well, when you get in 1127 00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:16,240 Speaker 1: the game, just to make sure you make that block, 1128 00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:18,040 Speaker 1: because if you're in practice and you're not making that block, 1129 00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:19,560 Speaker 1: he's going to let you know it's unacceptable and he's 1130 00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:22,480 Speaker 1: gonna hold you accountable. That's why I roll with Bubba, 1131 00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:24,160 Speaker 1: because when you're doing that type of stuff and you're 1132 00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:25,840 Speaker 1: keeping it real outside of the football field, I can 1133 00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:27,680 Speaker 1: come talk to you about anything now. I want to 1134 00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:29,400 Speaker 1: be that great for you. You know what I'm saying. 1135 00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:31,680 Speaker 1: And if I know I'm a guy who's been showing 1136 00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:33,280 Speaker 1: that I can do this and do that and another 1137 00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:35,080 Speaker 1: guy hasn't, Bubba will be like, look, I don't care 1138 00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:37,280 Speaker 1: who the other guy is. You've been shown in practice. 1139 00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:38,720 Speaker 1: Go ahead and shine. I'm gonna put you in the 1140 00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:40,480 Speaker 1: light and let the front office or whoever else take 1141 00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:43,240 Speaker 1: it from there. He's really cool like that. So that 1142 00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:45,880 Speaker 1: obviously able to relate to players. And I think some 1143 00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:49,840 Speaker 1: of what you know has ailed us that we've talked about. 1144 00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:52,040 Speaker 1: And this is not in any way, shape or form. 1145 00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:53,880 Speaker 1: I think this is an overall thing. This is not 1146 00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:56,320 Speaker 1: a Joe Woodsinger Mike Preefer thing is. But we have 1147 00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:59,800 Speaker 1: had a tough time I think reaching the players and 1148 01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:02,320 Speaker 1: getting to be more than you know, the some of 1149 01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:05,160 Speaker 1: the parts. Yeah, And I think that that is you know, 1150 01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:08,240 Speaker 1: Jim Schwartz just hearing him. That's the kind of guy 1151 01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:10,240 Speaker 1: that he is. He's going to lead and be fair 1152 01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:12,280 Speaker 1: and be honest and be direct and get in their 1153 01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:14,439 Speaker 1: butts a little bit and be emotional. And it sounds 1154 01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:16,320 Speaker 1: like Bubba Ventron is able to do that as well, 1155 01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:19,280 Speaker 1: and I think that's something that we need injected into 1156 01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:22,040 Speaker 1: this organization. And I think that can go a long way. 1157 01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:25,600 Speaker 1: Because defensively, we're going to be a good offense. I 1158 01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:27,000 Speaker 1: have no doubt about that. I mean, we were top 1159 01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:29,280 Speaker 1: ten offense WHI Chekobe Brusett last year. We're gonna be 1160 01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:31,760 Speaker 1: a good offense. We're in very good hands there. Defensively, 1161 01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:35,200 Speaker 1: while we had some butts, we could have been better 1162 01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:37,040 Speaker 1: than we were. It was a lack of discipline on 1163 01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:39,320 Speaker 1: and off the field. I think that really affected that unit. 1164 01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:42,760 Speaker 1: That should get cleaned up. With Schwartz and then special teams, 1165 01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:45,120 Speaker 1: he gets to touch the whole team because you have 1166 01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:47,320 Speaker 1: guys from offense and guys from defense on special teams. 1167 01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:49,200 Speaker 1: So I think it sets up very well for the 1168 01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:52,880 Speaker 1: Browns if Bubba Ventron actually is the guy. And it's 1169 01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:55,520 Speaker 1: kind of amazing that this opportunity came up, but it 1170 01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:58,240 Speaker 1: would make more sense as to why things have gone 1171 01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:02,240 Speaker 1: down the way that they have. Mike Preefer, if it's 1172 01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:06,240 Speaker 1: because Bubba Ventron is now available, yeah, and if he's 1173 01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:07,920 Speaker 1: if we go in another direction. We just did like 1174 01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:11,800 Speaker 1: thirty minutes on Bubba Ventron it's great, which is fantastic. Yeah, 1175 01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:14,280 Speaker 1: believe me. If people are fired up about Bubba Ventro, 1176 01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:17,240 Speaker 1: so I hope he comes. Yeah. I think it's fun 1177 01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:19,680 Speaker 1: and it is fun to say. All right, we'll count 1178 01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:22,120 Speaker 1: down our ten biggest needs for the Browns this offseason. 1179 01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:24,760 Speaker 1: Numbers ten and nine coming up. We've got a little 1180 01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:27,480 Speaker 1: higher lower as well. Give some thoughts on Sunday's All 1181 01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:29,560 Speaker 1: Star festivities. There was a ton of sports this weekend. 1182 01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:31,800 Speaker 1: I'm curious the ratings will be out tomorrow. They're delayed 1183 01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:34,080 Speaker 1: a little by President's Day. I'm curious how Daytona five 1184 01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:37,160 Speaker 1: hundred XFL was this weekend. The golf was in LA 1185 01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:39,840 Speaker 1: He had the All Star Game festivities as well, so 1186 01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:42,160 Speaker 1: there's a lot going on. We'll get to all of that. 1187 01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:44,160 Speaker 1: Coming up next to us to Cleveland Browns Daily brought 1188 01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:45,760 Speaker 1: you by baally Bet Coming soon to Ohio and eight 1189 01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:56,760 Speaker 1: fifty ESPN Cleveland Cleveland Browns Daily brought to you by 1190 01:01:56,840 --> 01:02:01,000 Speaker 1: bally Bet Coming soon to Ohio.

Give a wants ten 1200 01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:45,360 Speaker 1: things that are the biggest needs for us this offseason. 1201 01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:52,760 Speaker 1: So for clarification, how are we defining at your own 1202 01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:54,920 Speaker 1: how do you how are we going to define things? 1203 01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:59,640 Speaker 1: I have all over the place. I have positions that 1204 01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:01,800 Speaker 1: we don't have right now that need to be addressed. 1205 01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:04,680 Speaker 1: I've got people on the roster that need to be 1206 01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:07,560 Speaker 1: better than they were a year ago. I have fear 1207 01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:10,880 Speaker 1: like kind of in the moment type of things that 1208 01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:12,360 Speaker 1: I've got a lot of stuff here. I got a 1209 01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:14,360 Speaker 1: lot of stuff here. All right, So let's let's roll. 1210 01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:17,760 Speaker 1: Let's go with your number ten, number ten thing countdown. 1211 01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:22,440 Speaker 1: Number one is the most important, number ten, the least important, 1212 01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:27,240 Speaker 1: least least to most. Yes, all right, I'm gonna you 1213 01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:34,760 Speaker 1: need a minute. I think it's good. This is good, 1214 01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:38,400 Speaker 1: you know, this is the final week, full week of February. 1215 01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:42,280 Speaker 1: That's right. We made it through, all right, dude, we 1216 01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:44,840 Speaker 1: made it. I mean, that's what I said. Like, I'm 1217 01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:46,560 Speaker 1: not going to complain about the weather in March, not 1218 01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:48,720 Speaker 1: the temperature. I can complain about the rain. I'll reserve 1219 01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:51,000 Speaker 1: the right to complain about that. I'm sure we're going 1220 01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:53,800 Speaker 1: to get our fair share of the last week that 1221 01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:56,640 Speaker 1: we've had come on in February. It's been a delight 1222 01:03:56,840 --> 01:04:00,560 Speaker 1: to be and there's not that horizon, all right, So 1223 01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:02,760 Speaker 1: give me your ten, number ten, number ten. I'd like 1224 01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:07,200 Speaker 1: a true slot cornerback on this roster. I think that 1225 01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:09,600 Speaker 1: we have. I don't know if moves are going to 1226 01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:11,320 Speaker 1: be made in that cornerback room, but I do think 1227 01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:14,960 Speaker 1: we need a true nickel on the roster. Somebody who 1228 01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:18,240 Speaker 1: liked Troy Hill was the year before boh, your hand 1229 01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:21,240 Speaker 1: is raced. Would it be possible that he already is 1230 01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:24,160 Speaker 1: he just wears number twenty one. It is possible, But 1231 01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:29,200 Speaker 1: I don't think, given his concussion history, that your nickel 1232 01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:31,760 Speaker 1: defender has got to be an integral part of your 1233 01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:35,400 Speaker 1: run defense. And I don't think Denzel is that interested 1234 01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:37,120 Speaker 1: in that. And then also be I don't know that's 1235 01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:38,840 Speaker 1: that prudent to have him sticking his head in there 1236 01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:42,800 Speaker 1: as much in run defense. Look, we have three great 1237 01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:45,439 Speaker 1: outside corners. I don't know what by time Greg gets 1238 01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:47,600 Speaker 1: here and how that all gets worked out, but my magic, 1239 01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:50,920 Speaker 1: my guess is he wants to play outside. And statistically 1240 01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:53,680 Speaker 1: last year our two best outside corners were mj Emerson 1241 01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:57,200 Speaker 1: and Greg Newsom. So we're in a little bit of 1242 01:04:57,240 --> 01:05:00,320 Speaker 1: a pickle there. Having a true nickel I think would help, 1243 01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:02,960 Speaker 1: just because because there are going to be injuries. It 1244 01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:05,760 Speaker 1: just always happened, So yeah, you need to have that 1245 01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:08,640 Speaker 1: guy that's a true slot so that when if Denzel 1246 01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:10,960 Speaker 1: were to miss some time, which he has done on 1247 01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:14,080 Speaker 1: a fairly regular basis, not a lot, but that you 1248 01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:16,080 Speaker 1: have a true nickel that you can slide in there. 1249 01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:17,640 Speaker 1: So I think that is a that's a that's a 1250 01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:22,280 Speaker 1: priority for us this off season. All right, number nine 1251 01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:25,360 Speaker 1: on your list? What's number ten on your list? Same 1252 01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:28,520 Speaker 1: as yours? Oh it was okay, Yeah, I'm Erdie Johnson here, 1253 01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:32,360 Speaker 1: You're okay, that's you. Number nine on my list is 1254 01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:36,560 Speaker 1: a true center field free safety. And so this is 1255 01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:39,760 Speaker 1: number nine because as of this time, it's not a 1256 01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:42,600 Speaker 1: glaring need or a pressing need. You have John Johnson, 1257 01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:48,160 Speaker 1: and you have You've got Grant delp it back, John Johnson. 1258 01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:51,600 Speaker 1: Could he be a Brown this year? Certainly. We love 1259 01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:53,120 Speaker 1: talking with him on the show. I thought he played 1260 01:05:53,120 --> 01:05:56,120 Speaker 1: wall as the season went on, played better. But he's 1261 01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:58,360 Speaker 1: got a big price tag and money is right now 1262 01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:00,360 Speaker 1: a little tight where I'm sure we're gonna do some structuring. 1263 01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:02,800 Speaker 1: We could restructure Amri, we could restructure Miles. We constructure 1264 01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:05,600 Speaker 1: to Sean and clear up some cap space there. But 1265 01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:09,400 Speaker 1: with a post first designation, John Johnson's cut would be 1266 01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:13,400 Speaker 1: would save nine over nine million dollars. He and Grant 1267 01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:15,840 Speaker 1: are very similar in where they are the best. They 1268 01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:18,080 Speaker 1: are both best closer line scrimmage. Now, Grant showed as 1269 01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:20,200 Speaker 1: the season went on, you know, four interceptions this year, 1270 01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:22,680 Speaker 1: played some. He had a great cover two which is 1271 01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:24,680 Speaker 1: a deep half safety look where he got an interception 1272 01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:26,919 Speaker 1: of Carson Wentz and then you know man in the post. 1273 01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:29,720 Speaker 1: He played deep center field and got to pick against Ushingham. 1274 01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:31,880 Speaker 1: But I think he's at his best kind of closer 1275 01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:33,600 Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage and more of a strong 1276 01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:36,320 Speaker 1: safety role. So if you had a true center fielder, 1277 01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:38,240 Speaker 1: so we could play some of those cover threes, free 1278 01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:40,240 Speaker 1: grant up to be a playmaker. That would be a 1279 01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:42,080 Speaker 1: big thing. Jesse Bates is a name that has been 1280 01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:45,280 Speaker 1: constantly linked to the Browns this offseason. He would be swing. 1281 01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:48,040 Speaker 1: It would be a huge right from your you know, 1282 01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:50,360 Speaker 1: from a rival and put him on your team, that 1283 01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:53,400 Speaker 1: would be huge. But it's number nine because it's not 1284 01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:56,320 Speaker 1: a need. If if we know that, you know, we 1285 01:06:56,440 --> 01:06:58,640 Speaker 1: do make a change on the back end of this defense, 1286 01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:01,720 Speaker 1: that would shoot well up the list. To me, there's 1287 01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:06,520 Speaker 1: a redundancy to Johnson and delp It. They're they're both 1288 01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:09,880 Speaker 1: good at the same thing, right, So that's that's what 1289 01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:13,080 Speaker 1: makes it tricky. And neither one is totally comfortable doing 1290 01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:15,800 Speaker 1: what you just explained. That's not their best part of 1291 01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:18,240 Speaker 1: their game. And so you want them up near the line, 1292 01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:20,320 Speaker 1: you want them blitzing, you want them and they both 1293 01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:22,560 Speaker 1: do that at a high level. Delp It you drafted 1294 01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:24,480 Speaker 1: he's that's what he did and that's what he did 1295 01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:28,520 Speaker 1: at LSU. So um, that's that's kind of where that 1296 01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:33,080 Speaker 1: thing goes. Um two in the secondary again, these are 1297 01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:36,320 Speaker 1: at the bottom of yeah, the packing order. Sure, Like 1298 01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:39,439 Speaker 1: I mean, if we rolled out our secondary of Denzel MJ, 1299 01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:43,040 Speaker 1: Greg John and delp it I think, obviously you need 1300 01:07:43,120 --> 01:07:46,280 Speaker 1: some depth there, but that's pretty good. Yes, you still 1301 01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:48,720 Speaker 1: feel pretty good about that back in so it's not 1302 01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:51,320 Speaker 1: a huge need. And the slot corner is really more 1303 01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:53,120 Speaker 1: of a depth. But if we do bring in another corner, 1304 01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:54,720 Speaker 1: you want it to be I think a true nickel 1305 01:07:55,280 --> 01:07:58,240 Speaker 1: um and then I think that not the true center 1306 01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:00,680 Speaker 1: field free safety is what really could get this defense going. 1307 01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:02,400 Speaker 1: Other We're going to get to other parts of the 1308 01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:05,800 Speaker 1: defense as we go on, but that to me, you know, 1309 01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:08,160 Speaker 1: is not necessarily a need today but has the opportunity 1310 01:08:08,200 --> 01:08:11,160 Speaker 1: to be a need and then become a huge strength 1311 01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:13,160 Speaker 1: if you are the team that is able to convince 1312 01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:16,120 Speaker 1: Bates to come and play here. Oh my gosh. Well, 1313 01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:19,280 Speaker 1: and the other thing, that's when you think about we 1314 01:08:19,400 --> 01:08:21,640 Speaker 1: think about the priority list, and as we get you know, 1315 01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:23,920 Speaker 1: get towards the top of the list, you're it's going 1316 01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:25,400 Speaker 1: to be the things that we talk about all the time. 1317 01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:28,160 Speaker 1: But you kind of have to There's only so much 1318 01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:30,439 Speaker 1: money to go around, so you have to kind of 1319 01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:34,280 Speaker 1: pick your poison in terms of where are we going 1320 01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:37,360 Speaker 1: to be. You can't be elite everywhere nobody can be 1321 01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:39,760 Speaker 1: because we're at a point now where we're having to 1322 01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:42,920 Speaker 1: pay our best players. We're paying Miles, we're paying Denzel, 1323 01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:46,639 Speaker 1: we're paying to quarterback, paying Nick Chubb. So you're paying 1324 01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:48,679 Speaker 1: a lot of the in two guards, right, you're paying 1325 01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:51,400 Speaker 1: paying a lot of our veteran guys. There's enough money 1326 01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:53,640 Speaker 1: to go around. This isn't the old days when you 1327 01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:56,000 Speaker 1: had Baker on a rookie contract and Miles hadn't been 1328 01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:59,040 Speaker 1: redone and Denzel's on a rookie contract, and why it 1329 01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:01,479 Speaker 1: was off the scrap heap and you could start throwing 1330 01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:04,840 Speaker 1: a lot of money around. Our money's allocated. Yes, so 1331 01:09:05,080 --> 01:09:09,880 Speaker 1: this will be bargain deals, prudent and yeah, restructurings, those 1332 01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:12,120 Speaker 1: type of things are going to be. You know, I 1333 01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:14,280 Speaker 1: think very much the topic of the day as we 1334 01:09:14,360 --> 01:09:16,400 Speaker 1: get into free agency. I mean this is we have 1335 01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:19,280 Speaker 1: been big swings in free agency as long as I've 1336 01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:20,639 Speaker 1: been doing this show. We've had a lot of big 1337 01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:23,760 Speaker 1: swings in free agency, but we identify who we want 1338 01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:26,320 Speaker 1: to go get them, and that's probably not gonna be 1339 01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:28,800 Speaker 1: the case this year. It's gonna be tougher. Like people 1340 01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:31,080 Speaker 1: who think they're gonna be able to get Durron Payne 1341 01:09:31,280 --> 01:09:34,400 Speaker 1: or Jevon Hargrave and to Jesse Bates, that's gonna be 1342 01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:38,439 Speaker 1: that's very difficult. I think they're gonna choose one big 1343 01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:40,719 Speaker 1: star and then they're going to try to get pieces. 1344 01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:42,720 Speaker 1: And it's probably easier on the interior the defensive line 1345 01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:45,840 Speaker 1: to find pieces that can together or create what you're 1346 01:09:45,880 --> 01:09:49,080 Speaker 1: looking for. You know, now, Joe Schwartz always had an 1347 01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:51,200 Speaker 1: All Pro or a Pro bowler on the interior of 1348 01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:54,479 Speaker 1: his defensive line everywhere that he has been, literally every 1349 01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:57,000 Speaker 1: single stop. It might be true that the best chance 1350 01:09:57,080 --> 01:09:59,680 Speaker 1: for that is Perry and Winfrey Perry and Winfrey in here, 1351 01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:02,640 Speaker 1: but he's got to Key has got it. He has 1352 01:10:02,640 --> 01:10:04,439 Speaker 1: got to grow up fast. He's got to become a 1353 01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:07,360 Speaker 1: professional quickly. Talent wise. Yes, he has the ability to 1354 01:10:07,439 --> 01:10:10,920 Speaker 1: be a very very productive, disruptive interior defensive linement. We 1355 01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:12,360 Speaker 1: saw that really over the second half of the season. 1356 01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:14,479 Speaker 1: Should had three sacks this here, all in the second 1357 01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:16,479 Speaker 1: half of the season. Yeah, And as we get to 1358 01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:20,200 Speaker 1: the top of this list, I mean, you're it's your 1359 01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:22,280 Speaker 1: list we're going off of. But I'm know for a 1360 01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:23,840 Speaker 1: fact our number ones are going to be the same. 1361 01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:28,759 Speaker 1: So that's something that it was a late edition. Okay, 1362 01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:32,800 Speaker 1: so is it an organic as opposed to specific? A 1363 01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:36,200 Speaker 1: little hint for the kids. Number two is more organic 1364 01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:39,880 Speaker 1: and less specific than number one one? Somewhat specific, right, Um, 1365 01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:42,960 Speaker 1: all right, so we'll do eight and seven tomorrow yep 1366 01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:46,360 Speaker 1: on this list. Um, you want to do NBA All 1367 01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:49,240 Speaker 1: Stars Sunday quickly here before we get to hire lower Fine. 1368 01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:54,720 Speaker 1: It was awful. I've never heard players and coaches just 1369 01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:56,800 Speaker 1: destroy the game the way they did. It was awful. 1370 01:10:56,800 --> 01:11:02,120 Speaker 1: I stopped watching it was. Um. I think basketball, of 1371 01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:05,560 Speaker 1: all of them is it's it's a little bit like 1372 01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:07,880 Speaker 1: you hear. You've heard people use the analogy, you know, 1373 01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:12,160 Speaker 1: even bad pizza's good pizza. There's still some entertainment in 1374 01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:16,320 Speaker 1: seeing people dunk, right, But the fact that this thing 1375 01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:21,320 Speaker 1: has been bastardized to the point of no effort at all. 1376 01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:24,000 Speaker 1: I mean they put in those elim endings, which that's 1377 01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:26,280 Speaker 1: from the basketball tournament where you play to a score. 1378 01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:28,160 Speaker 1: They put those in to try to make the end 1379 01:11:28,200 --> 01:11:30,599 Speaker 1: of quarters fun. They didn't even care about that, didn't 1380 01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:33,800 Speaker 1: care about that at all. All the shooting from half court, 1381 01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:37,920 Speaker 1: the nonsense, I mean, no defense whatsoever, just free reigned 1382 01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:39,800 Speaker 1: to the rim whenever you want it. It was Jalen 1383 01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:41,200 Speaker 1: Brown said, He's like it was like a layup line. 1384 01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:44,920 Speaker 1: There were so many uncontested just like layups, night dunks, 1385 01:11:45,400 --> 01:11:47,920 Speaker 1: just like layups. Anybody who had the ball that wanted 1386 01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:49,519 Speaker 1: to score it could score every single time they had 1387 01:11:49,560 --> 01:11:52,080 Speaker 1: the ball. Yeah, if they just wanted to move towards 1388 01:11:52,120 --> 01:11:54,400 Speaker 1: the basket, they would have scored every time. Yeah. And 1389 01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:58,439 Speaker 1: it was a far cry from even It's funny so 1390 01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:00,599 Speaker 1: often you end up and get off my on territory. 1391 01:12:00,680 --> 01:12:02,400 Speaker 1: But this isn't even going back to like when you 1392 01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:05,320 Speaker 1: and I were kids. I'm talking about even Kobe and Michael. 1393 01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:07,040 Speaker 1: I was just going to bring that up. They were 1394 01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:10,760 Speaker 1: getting after it. Yes, you know, and Kobe. There's a 1395 01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:13,599 Speaker 1: clip going around with Kobe Um that was going around 1396 01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:16,639 Speaker 1: this weekend about how in that when it came time 1397 01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:18,840 Speaker 1: for the fourth quarter, it was like, Okay, let's go 1398 01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:20,880 Speaker 1: let's play really bad. I'm gonna go win the that 1399 01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:22,800 Speaker 1: never came. I'm gonna go win the All Star Game. 1400 01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:24,280 Speaker 1: We're gonna go win the All Star Game like I'm 1401 01:12:24,320 --> 01:12:28,680 Speaker 1: not losing. And and that is gone, gone, gone from 1402 01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:30,400 Speaker 1: the sport. I mean, that was it was. It was bad. 1403 01:12:30,479 --> 01:12:33,479 Speaker 1: It was a clown show. Malone Saturday. After the game, 1404 01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:38,840 Speaker 1: I thought Anthony Edwards I thought was spot on about it. 1405 01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:40,760 Speaker 1: Jaylen Brown was spot I thought Edwards was cool too. 1406 01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:44,560 Speaker 1: He said, we gotta stop with this not playing nonsense. 1407 01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:48,920 Speaker 1: You know, people maybe be able to afford to go 1408 01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:50,439 Speaker 1: to one game a year and they picked that game 1409 01:12:50,439 --> 01:12:52,240 Speaker 1: because they want to see that player. And then he 1410 01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:55,080 Speaker 1: just is like, yeah, I'm resting, Like some of that 1411 01:12:55,280 --> 01:12:56,720 Speaker 1: isn't to be fair, some of that isn't in the 1412 01:12:56,760 --> 01:13:00,160 Speaker 1: player's hands. Some of that's coaching or even ownersh be 1413 01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:01,920 Speaker 1: able to sit there, guys on for rest. No, of 1414 01:13:01,960 --> 01:13:04,920 Speaker 1: course it shouldn't be happening. Um, I've bemoaned the fact 1415 01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:06,640 Speaker 1: that it happened twice here with the Warriors. In the 1416 01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:10,120 Speaker 1: it happened with the Warriors, the Bucks, and the Luca 1417 01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:12,639 Speaker 1: was the big one though, Like one trip into town 1418 01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:15,000 Speaker 1: gets a rest day, same thing with the Warriors, get 1419 01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:18,439 Speaker 1: one trip into town. Steph Clay, Draymond all healthy, all sat. 1420 01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:20,639 Speaker 1: They should just have nobody to play back to backs 1421 01:13:20,680 --> 01:13:23,040 Speaker 1: then and then nobody ever sets They could schedule that out. 1422 01:13:23,479 --> 01:13:25,479 Speaker 1: They could. They're gonna have to. They're gonna have to 1423 01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:27,400 Speaker 1: lose some games on the schedule, but I think they've 1424 01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:29,479 Speaker 1: got to find I mean, I think all you gotta 1425 01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:30,840 Speaker 1: do is, like, as a player, you have to have 1426 01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:32,439 Speaker 1: some pride and to say, Okay, we're gonna try and 1427 01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:35,120 Speaker 1: play like the Lebron could do it with in one 1428 01:13:35,160 --> 01:13:37,360 Speaker 1: fell swoop. Yeah, if he just said, hey, we're gonna 1429 01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:40,920 Speaker 1: go hard, now, find would go. Yeah, that fix the 1430 01:13:40,960 --> 01:13:43,479 Speaker 1: All Star Game? Who ended up being the MVP. Jason 1431 01:13:43,520 --> 01:13:48,240 Speaker 1: Tatum had fifty five points. Yeah. So the record forever 1432 01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:50,840 Speaker 1: was Wilt had forty two in an All Star Game, 1433 01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:53,479 Speaker 1: and now it's been broken three times in the last 1434 01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:56,960 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis had fifty, Steph Curry had fifty last year 1435 01:13:57,040 --> 01:14:00,000 Speaker 1: here and then Jason tatums at the all time record 1436 01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:03,760 Speaker 1: fifty five. Jeez, but it was just a layup. It 1437 01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:06,920 Speaker 1: was just either layups or half court shots. Yeah, too many, 1438 01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:10,720 Speaker 1: just clown show. Yeah, silliness really was all right, we'll 1439 01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:13,400 Speaker 1: do a little higher, lower, better or worse.

Yeah, this was, uh a change that you 1464 01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:03,599 Speaker 1: could have seen coming after the last couple of years 1465 01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:06,479 Speaker 1: of just the inconsistent play on the special team side 1466 01:16:06,479 --> 01:16:08,320 Speaker 1: of the ball. Um, it wasn't just kind of the 1467 01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:10,920 Speaker 1: troubles that k your hat. Obviously there was you know, 1468 01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:13,360 Speaker 1: some some ups and downs as far as punt coverage 1469 01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:17,400 Speaker 1: and kick coverage and um, it just where where things 1470 01:16:17,439 --> 01:16:20,240 Speaker 1: could could get better on really all sides of of 1471 01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:23,800 Speaker 1: of special teams play. So, um, you know, pres such 1472 01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:26,320 Speaker 1: a great guy. Sorry to see him go, but um, 1473 01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:29,679 Speaker 1: you know they they need to be a lot stronger 1474 01:16:29,800 --> 01:16:32,920 Speaker 1: in that department next year. And and that's that's why 1475 01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:34,479 Speaker 1: the change, you know, I think had to be made. 1476 01:16:35,760 --> 01:16:38,960 Speaker 1: But it's odd timing, right, It is definitely odd timing. 1477 01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:42,679 Speaker 1: It feels more like, oh, stike and goes to Indie 1478 01:16:43,240 --> 01:16:47,240 Speaker 1: wants to get out, So now because we have a 1479 01:16:47,320 --> 01:16:49,719 Speaker 1: chance to upgrade in their we're going to do something. 1480 01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:52,519 Speaker 1: But I think they were fine bringing Preef back. You know, 1481 01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:53,920 Speaker 1: it's still in the top half of the league. We're 1482 01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:56,360 Speaker 1: over a month into the offseason. Normally this is when 1483 01:16:56,960 --> 01:16:59,880 Speaker 1: you're not letting coaches go you're you're, you're, if anything, 1484 01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:02,600 Speaker 1: figuring out who's still coming in and uh, yes, the 1485 01:17:02,680 --> 01:17:05,599 Speaker 1: timing was definitely definitely interesting and a little off putting. 1486 01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:09,960 Speaker 1: Um so, but I think what you have is probably correct. 1487 01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:12,040 Speaker 1: It's it's assistance are moving around the league right now. 1488 01:17:12,360 --> 01:17:14,960 Speaker 1: Ums as the coaching stuff gets figured out and thinks 1489 01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:17,000 Speaker 1: it was late, Yeah, it was late, and I think 1490 01:17:17,040 --> 01:17:18,400 Speaker 1: they maybe saw a chance where they can make an 1491 01:17:18,479 --> 01:17:22,240 Speaker 1: upgrade and they're going for it. Yeah. Um, how many 1492 01:17:22,280 --> 01:17:25,400 Speaker 1: combines you've been top? Uh? Just one? Just one last 1493 01:17:25,479 --> 01:17:31,479 Speaker 1: year unless it's from this skunk guy. I'm now told 1494 01:17:31,520 --> 01:17:34,960 Speaker 1: that Brown's Bill Willis diversity coaching fellow Israel Wolf Fork 1495 01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:37,800 Speaker 1: has been informed you can join the Arizona Cardinals staff, 1496 01:17:37,840 --> 01:17:41,240 Speaker 1: per league source. Wolffork currently expected to be named the 1497 01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:44,840 Speaker 1: Cardinals QB coach. Yeah.

My 1523 01:18:55,880 --> 01:18:58,120 Speaker 1: first trip, I went by myself because this was after 1524 01:18:58,360 --> 01:18:59,920 Speaker 1: the whole Brown screw had already left. I had to 1525 01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:02,200 Speaker 1: day one extra day for I think it was I 1526 01:19:02,600 --> 01:19:04,519 Speaker 1: wanted to stay for the specialist interview the next day, 1527 01:19:04,560 --> 01:19:06,880 Speaker 1: and uh I went to say now moos by myself 1528 01:19:07,160 --> 01:19:11,479 Speaker 1: sad at the bar at the last year too. It 1529 01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:12,840 Speaker 1: was great, it was. It was a great night, just 1530 01:19:12,880 --> 01:19:14,040 Speaker 1: like the rest of the other nights. I had an 1531 01:19:14,080 --> 01:19:18,880 Speaker 1: indie and it was just unaware of the ferocity of 1532 01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:23,000 Speaker 1: the saint almost cocktail and how hard that was going 1533 01:19:23,080 --> 01:19:25,920 Speaker 1: to hit. So I took a massive bite out almost. 1534 01:19:27,680 --> 01:19:30,880 Speaker 1: I took a massive bite out of the first shrimp 1535 01:19:31,280 --> 01:19:35,200 Speaker 1: and uh I had the bartender was looking at me 1536 01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:37,880 Speaker 1: as as she took it. Unbenowns that I didn't know 1537 01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:40,120 Speaker 1: that she was looking at me, and um saw me 1538 01:19:40,320 --> 01:19:43,160 Speaker 1: instantly grabbed my beer and just take a one, big, big, 1539 01:19:43,600 --> 01:19:46,120 Speaker 1: big swig and she said, how was it? And I 1540 01:19:46,240 --> 01:19:48,760 Speaker 1: was like, it was the bear doesn't even helps, it's 1541 01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:51,400 Speaker 1: in your head, doesn't But that was like the most remarket. 1542 01:19:51,680 --> 01:19:57,320 Speaker 1: It's one of the most remarkable remarktable, like one of 1543 01:19:57,360 --> 01:20:00,000 Speaker 1: the one of the most remarkable marketing schemes of all time. 1544 01:20:00,680 --> 01:20:03,560 Speaker 1: It is just a shrimp cocktail with a lot of 1545 01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:07,200 Speaker 1: horse rader. That's right, that's it. That's the list, and 1546 01:20:07,400 --> 01:20:11,400 Speaker 1: yet they sell a billion of them because I don't 1547 01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:13,639 Speaker 1: know where it started or how they how it became 1548 01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:15,840 Speaker 1: a thing, or if they just said we're gonna make 1549 01:20:15,880 --> 01:20:19,840 Speaker 1: our horse rapped like this is amazing, because it's it's 1550 01:20:19,880 --> 01:20:22,680 Speaker 1: just really, I mean, the shrimp are great. They're really 1551 01:20:22,800 --> 01:20:25,840 Speaker 1: big giant shrimps. Great, but like it's they're not that 1552 01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:27,880 Speaker 1: different than you one that you pick up at Hinens 1553 01:20:27,960 --> 01:20:31,240 Speaker 1: or whatever, Like it's all similar. So they're just big shrimp. 1554 01:20:31,560 --> 01:20:34,439 Speaker 1: But it's just it's almost an orange color in the cocktails. 1555 01:20:34,760 --> 01:20:37,000 Speaker 1: That's my house cocktail sauce. Now, yeah, I mean I 1556 01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:38,840 Speaker 1: buy it. They solid at Hinenz. You can get a 1557 01:20:39,240 --> 01:20:42,639 Speaker 1: local grocer and it's delicious. It's every bit as hot. Well, 1558 01:20:42,680 --> 01:20:44,800 Speaker 1: I just took like really as big of a bite 1559 01:20:44,800 --> 01:20:46,840 Speaker 1: as I probably could have taken, huge mistake, and it 1560 01:20:46,920 --> 01:20:48,599 Speaker 1: just felt like gastling was just coming out of my nose, 1561 01:20:48,680 --> 01:20:51,000 Speaker 1: like it was I almost died. You guys are witnesses. 1562 01:20:51,040 --> 01:20:53,679 Speaker 1: That's fine. It's like iokane powder, though, you can build 1563 01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:56,120 Speaker 1: up a resistance. Like now I could go in there 1564 01:20:56,160 --> 01:20:57,720 Speaker 1: and I could I could spoon the whole thing, so 1565 01:20:57,800 --> 01:21:00,840 Speaker 1: we were I finished the cocktail. We were told that 1566 01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:04,240 Speaker 1: there was a combine one that's actually less and then 1567 01:21:04,320 --> 01:21:07,360 Speaker 1: there's like the local one that's like that that they 1568 01:21:07,479 --> 01:21:09,400 Speaker 1: have all the time for the locals or whatever. And 1569 01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:12,120 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure didn't. Didn't we say, like, give us 1570 01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:13,880 Speaker 1: we want. I feel like you would you did this? 1571 01:21:14,040 --> 01:21:17,200 Speaker 1: You give us the regular what I do? I know, 1572 01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:19,320 Speaker 1: I'm not blaming you. I'm sure I wanted it too. 1573 01:21:19,600 --> 01:21:21,320 Speaker 1: We all want it. But I think that and so 1574 01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:23,880 Speaker 1: I was.

Most relevant? I 1606 01:23:01,479 --> 01:23:03,960 Speaker 1: like this, it's like most important most obviously it depends 1607 01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:07,400 Speaker 1: on position. But as you get reading to the underwear Olympics, 1608 01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:13,160 Speaker 1: what is what are the most important drills you're looking 1609 01:23:13,240 --> 01:23:17,960 Speaker 1: for in this? I don't see on here tape number 1610 01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:22,400 Speaker 1: one their tape. I would agree with that. So let's 1611 01:23:22,479 --> 01:23:30,960 Speaker 1: let's go number two. Number number two, number two. So 1612 01:23:31,120 --> 01:23:32,760 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna do this one I think is fun. 1613 01:23:33,360 --> 01:23:36,080 Speaker 1: And the most fun is when is the bench. So 1614 01:23:36,200 --> 01:23:39,439 Speaker 1: we're set up near the bench so you can see it, 1615 01:23:39,600 --> 01:23:42,200 Speaker 1: so we had we had no I'm saying, I'm doing 1616 01:23:42,360 --> 01:23:45,280 Speaker 1: how I want to do. Most fun. You do whatever 1617 01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:47,960 Speaker 1: you want your world. I would do bench press is 1618 01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:49,600 Speaker 1: the most fun. We were set up adjacent to it 1619 01:23:50,040 --> 01:23:52,360 Speaker 1: and we saw dk Metcalf do one hundred and six 1620 01:23:52,520 --> 01:23:55,160 Speaker 1: or whatever, and it was like, this feels like that's 1621 01:23:55,160 --> 01:23:57,640 Speaker 1: a lot. So that and people get excited about the 1622 01:23:57,680 --> 01:24:01,240 Speaker 1: bench and I like, remember the guy that tours Bice, 1623 01:24:02,520 --> 01:24:04,640 Speaker 1: was it Billy Price. It was Billy Price. It was 1624 01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:07,960 Speaker 1: Billy Price, like it was the very first guy to 1625 01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:11,080 Speaker 1: do the bench and he still went like first round, 1626 01:24:11,160 --> 01:24:13,600 Speaker 1: first round two since he's has never never been what 1627 01:24:13,680 --> 01:24:15,760 Speaker 1: he was it behind the state. No, I like the 1628 01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:19,599 Speaker 1: bench because we're closest to it obviously the most Yeah, 1629 01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:22,559 Speaker 1: but we're not there for that you're watch I agree 1630 01:24:22,600 --> 01:24:24,280 Speaker 1: with Bo. If you're talking most fun, it's definitely the 1631 01:24:24,320 --> 01:24:28,000 Speaker 1: bench However, when I got the list or information of 1632 01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:30,200 Speaker 1: what we were gonna be talking about, it was phrased 1633 01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:33,720 Speaker 1: as most important. There So to me, benches like out 1634 01:24:33,760 --> 01:24:35,639 Speaker 1: of the six that we had here, six is six 1635 01:24:35,720 --> 01:24:39,960 Speaker 1: for sure. But if we're going off the fun uh 1636 01:24:40,439 --> 01:24:42,200 Speaker 1: value that that Bo had, then then I think you 1637 01:24:42,200 --> 01:24:45,280 Speaker 1: got to put the forty yard dash next. Um. Obviously 1638 01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:48,840 Speaker 1: not far from the entertaining value as the bench press 1639 01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:50,519 Speaker 1: pot because you've just seen a bunch of guys running 1640 01:24:50,640 --> 01:24:54,960 Speaker 1: and there's no most important is forty yard that's that's 1641 01:24:55,040 --> 01:24:58,599 Speaker 1: number one on my list of most people without pads. Yes, 1642 01:24:58,760 --> 01:25:03,120 Speaker 1: because receiver like guys can still elevate their stock with 1643 01:25:03,479 --> 01:25:06,920 Speaker 1: a good forty time at most positions. Um, I think 1644 01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:10,640 Speaker 1: it applies to a lot of positions, the wide receiver, cornerback, linebackers. 1645 01:25:10,760 --> 01:25:13,320 Speaker 1: I mean every position really to a fault, what's up 1646 01:25:13,520 --> 01:25:17,080 Speaker 1: sometimes to a fault. Yes, it makes you overvalue somebody exactly. It. 1647 01:25:17,400 --> 01:25:19,360 Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's the perfect It's far from the 1648 01:25:19,439 --> 01:25:21,160 Speaker 1: perfect scale. We're just talking about the jows that we 1649 01:25:21,240 --> 01:25:23,759 Speaker 1: have that we get to see on the combine. So, girl, 1650 01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:29,120 Speaker 1: what would be your number two? Probably the vertical or 1651 01:25:29,200 --> 01:25:31,680 Speaker 1: the broad jump, because those are things that we can 1652 01:25:31,720 --> 01:25:34,600 Speaker 1: all relate to and it ties into the explosiveness and 1653 01:25:35,240 --> 01:25:37,439 Speaker 1: you know things like this with that DK metcalf do 1654 01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:39,759 Speaker 1: that jumping thing, and I was like, hey, he's probably 1655 01:25:39,760 --> 01:25:42,479 Speaker 1: gonna do pretty well in the Celebrity All Star Game. Well, 1656 01:25:42,520 --> 01:25:45,160 Speaker 1: this is the problem with this is in the city 1657 01:25:45,320 --> 01:25:49,400 Speaker 1: we mentioned K twice. So it was the cone drill. Remember, 1658 01:25:49,439 --> 01:25:53,600 Speaker 1: people weren't cone drill with Tom Brady and saying they 1659 01:25:53,640 --> 01:25:55,600 Speaker 1: were putting him. They superimposed him and it was like 1660 01:25:55,920 --> 01:25:58,519 Speaker 1: he's slower than Tom Brady and the cone drill. So 1661 01:25:58,640 --> 01:26:01,120 Speaker 1: he fell to the second round. YEP. It was like, well, 1662 01:26:01,120 --> 01:26:03,720 Speaker 1: wait a second, what are we doing. I think every 1663 01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:07,519 Speaker 1: drill has an major outlier, somebody who either did terrible 1664 01:26:07,600 --> 01:26:10,920 Speaker 1: in it and ended up being amazing or somebody who 1665 01:26:11,800 --> 01:26:15,759 Speaker 1: you know, blew the tires off and ended up being terrible. 1666 01:26:16,479 --> 01:26:20,160 Speaker 1: So never forget Orlando Brown at the forty yard dash. 1667 01:26:20,160 --> 01:26:21,960 Speaker 1: I know we were not talking to him, but ran 1668 01:26:22,120 --> 01:26:24,000 Speaker 1: terrible four yard dash, fell to the Ravens and I 1669 01:26:24,080 --> 01:26:26,160 Speaker 1: think the second or third round or something, and wait, 1670 01:26:26,200 --> 01:26:28,879 Speaker 1: what does they have to do with being an offensive exactly? 1671 01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:30,880 Speaker 1: But but that forty yard dash. He was supposed to 1672 01:26:30,880 --> 01:26:32,840 Speaker 1: be a first round pick and that forty yard dash 1673 01:26:32,920 --> 01:26:34,559 Speaker 1: is what bumped him. I think it made no sense. 1674 01:26:34,680 --> 01:26:39,880 Speaker 1: But the combine is there's parts of it that are cool. 1675 01:26:40,479 --> 01:26:43,880 Speaker 1: There are parts of it that are absurd. The hyperbole 1676 01:26:44,040 --> 01:26:46,639 Speaker 1: that needs to be given to every prospect is crazy. 1677 01:26:46,720 --> 01:26:49,080 Speaker 1: I mean, if you remember at the combine last year, 1678 01:26:49,560 --> 01:26:52,439 Speaker 1: like who's trading up to get Malik Willis the guy 1679 01:26:52,479 --> 01:26:54,639 Speaker 1: got drafted in the third round. Yeah, oh my god. 1680 01:26:55,520 --> 01:26:58,200 Speaker 1: This week he had somebody comparing Bryce Young to Patrick 1681 01:26:58,280 --> 01:27:02,360 Speaker 1: Mahomes Steph Curry and I he stop stop plays basket. 1682 01:27:02,760 --> 01:27:05,800 Speaker 1: I remember last year, like Taekwon Thornton had like like 1683 01:27:05,920 --> 01:27:08,640 Speaker 1: a blazingly fast, like best fort yard dash and like 1684 01:27:09,560 --> 01:27:11,800 Speaker 1: I believe he scored against us. He did that was 1685 01:27:11,840 --> 01:27:14,080 Speaker 1: probably the one good paying last year. But yeah, he 1686 01:27:14,200 --> 01:27:20,439 Speaker 1: did like that. That was like for me, teetering on 1687 01:27:20,520 --> 01:27:24,360 Speaker 1: the dark side of Gibbey right there, and he loved it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 1688 01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:26,640 Speaker 1: that was when we made what's I don't remember the 1689 01:27:26,680 --> 01:27:28,680 Speaker 1: guy's name. I wanted. I said it was gonna say 1690 01:27:28,680 --> 01:27:31,439 Speaker 1: Bryce Petty, but I know that's not his name. What 1691 01:27:31,560 --> 01:27:33,720 Speaker 1: was the name of the quarterback that absolutely looked like 1692 01:27:34,280 --> 01:27:37,479 Speaker 1: Joe Montana or Tom Brady from the Patriots that started 1693 01:27:37,479 --> 01:27:41,280 Speaker 1: against us. Le's happy, Yeah that guy. Yeah, we made 1694 01:27:41,320 --> 01:27:44,160 Speaker 1: Bailey's appy look he was. Maybe that was one of 1695 01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:46,200 Speaker 1: the greatest quarterback games ever. I mean it was flawless. 1696 01:27:47,800 --> 01:27:49,840 Speaker 1: And apparently in New England they're saying there's not much 1697 01:27:49,840 --> 01:27:52,679 Speaker 1: difference between me and that and back Jones. Well, based 1698 01:27:52,720 --> 01:27:54,720 Speaker 1: on what we saw. Yeah, no, I'd say there's a 1699 01:27:54,760 --> 01:27:58,040 Speaker 1: big difference. He's good. Yeah, all right, here's mine. Jones 1700 01:27:58,080 --> 01:28:00,280 Speaker 1: tape is one. So then I would go bench press 1701 01:28:00,320 --> 01:28:05,280 Speaker 1: two forty three, vertical four, broad jump five, twenty yards 1702 01:28:05,600 --> 01:28:07,880 Speaker 1: is six and three cone to seven. Let's say we 1703 01:28:07,960 --> 01:28:09,720 Speaker 1: never even see the twenty yards or the three cone. 1704 01:28:09,720 --> 01:28:11,600 Speaker 1: I don't even like I kind of had to like 1705 01:28:11,800 --> 01:28:14,120 Speaker 1: refresh my memory on how the twenty yard shuttle goes. 1706 01:28:15,200 --> 01:28:18,519 Speaker 1: Isn't it it's it's five five or is it? I 1707 01:28:18,560 --> 01:28:21,920 Speaker 1: think it's five ten, ten, five. You start in the middle, 1708 01:28:21,960 --> 01:28:23,479 Speaker 1: you go five, then you go the full ten and 1709 01:28:23,520 --> 01:28:26,560 Speaker 1: then back five two trees. Like I forgot already. I 1710 01:28:26,600 --> 01:28:29,599 Speaker 1: think I the explosive is what you're seeing this? Who's explosive? 1711 01:28:29,720 --> 01:28:32,080 Speaker 1: Change of pace and stuff? Yeah, change of direction? Yeah, 1712 01:28:32,200 --> 01:28:34,200 Speaker 1: all right? Are they a slot receiver? Then I'm interested 1713 01:28:34,520 --> 01:28:37,280 Speaker 1: the nickel corner? Fine, now I care right? Yeah, yeah, 1714 01:28:37,400 --> 01:28:40,360 Speaker 1: I think a lot of the it's mostly I mean 1715 01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:42,160 Speaker 1: to let you guys in all the secret it's mostly 1716 01:28:42,240 --> 01:28:45,120 Speaker 1: the interviews and the medical right and the medical yeah, 1717 01:28:45,120 --> 01:28:48,120 Speaker 1: the medical and the finding out what everybody's going to 1718 01:28:48,160 --> 01:28:51,280 Speaker 1: do in free agency. Yeah, then the worst step secrets. 1719 01:28:51,479 --> 01:28:54,080 Speaker 1: That's what's fun. Yeah, those are the things. And killer 1720 01:28:54,280 --> 01:28:56,800 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. I hope that we come out of there 1721 01:28:56,880 --> 01:28:58,920 Speaker 1: was some My goal for the Combine has come out 1722 01:28:58,920 --> 01:29:01,559 Speaker 1: of there with Okay, this is what the Bears are doing. 1723 01:29:02,040 --> 01:29:04,040 Speaker 1: We had that with Kyler. We were there ten minutes 1724 01:29:04,080 --> 01:29:06,040 Speaker 1: and it was like, oh yeah, they are not going 1725 01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:09,240 Speaker 1: to keep Josh Rosen now. So that that's why I 1726 01:29:09,360 --> 01:29:11,920 Speaker 1: think we will. That's when Steve Kin went to the 1727 01:29:11,960 --> 01:29:18,000 Speaker 1: podium dress tress like kings Goodness at the Combine. Yeah yeah, man, 1728 01:29:18,439 --> 01:29:20,200 Speaker 1: I don't need to He was like stuffed into a 1729 01:29:20,720 --> 01:29:23,600 Speaker 1: point black t shirts ridiculous. He looked up. It just 1730 01:29:23,760 --> 01:29:27,000 Speaker 1: didn't fit, especially him, just supposed to Cliffliff in the 1731 01:29:27,040 --> 01:29:29,840 Speaker 1: same spot, walking into places like this is not gonna work. 1732 01:29:30,280 --> 01:29:33,320 Speaker 1: Good stuff.

The the cocktail, though, it's 1741 01:30:11,040 --> 01:30:14,560 Speaker 1: I don't know when it became a thing, that's the 1742 01:30:14,760 --> 01:30:16,720 Speaker 1: and there's no real answer for when it became a 1743 01:30:16,760 --> 01:30:18,640 Speaker 1: thing over there.
