1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,719
Speaker 1: Coming to you live from the Cross Country Mortgage Campus

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: in Barrie, Ohio. This is Cleveland Browns Daily on eight

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: fifty ESP in Cleveland. Good afternoon, everybody. The weight is over.

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: It's opening day and from downtown Charlotte, North Carolina at

5
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 1: Bank of American Stadium, it is the Browns and the

6
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers, and what an opening game we have for

7
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: you this afternoon. From there on forty six, He's got

8
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: the snap, gets the ball and coach to Chubby's wide

9
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: open forty thirty five thirty twenty nine yard line. He

10
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 1: was quite open on the left side and he's got

11
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: the snap back to past. Big time pressure coming and

12
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: they cut him back up the fifty yard line. The

13
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: pressure came left, it came right, and it was devastating.

14
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: Jot shot to the third Blue in along with Ronnie

15
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: Harrison and Anthony Walker. Out of the shotgun. Baker waits

16
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: and takes the snap, drops, looks, throws and again it

17
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: got hit and tipped. It almost ended up in the

18
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: hands of Grant helping the deflection. The Browns defenders up front.

19
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: They are playing beach volleyball right now with Mayfield and

20
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: they are winning on spikes carts Chris spiking it down

21
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,639
Speaker 1: there for the set from the one yard line, motion

22
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: by Bryan down the line left to right for set

23
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: calling signals. He turns play action fake. He's got a

24
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: man white up and Hunt tumbles. He's got it touched out.

25
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: Mayfield looks Fire's middle and that is picked off. Delphin's

26
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: got it at the forty yard line of Carolina. Gives

27
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: the ball at Hunt blasts through tip ted corner find touchdown.

28
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: He's got two of them, kim Hunt one by Air,

29
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: one by Land, and the Browns lead thirteen. Nipping on

30
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: second down, Mayfield, out of a shotgun, takes the snap, drops,

31
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: looks right side. Oh, he got buried. Miles Karen buried

32
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: him back at the twenty six yard line. Man even

33
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: I cringe watching that the Browns will have it at

34
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: their own twenty five yard line to begin things in

35
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: an unbelievable situation. At game, they had under control pretty

36
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: much the entire afternoon, and now they find themselves down

37
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: one with a minute thirteen left to go and no

38
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 1: time box. They're gonna spot it at the eight. It's

39
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: a fifty eight yard field goal, and Tampa, the rookie

40
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: from l s U Kane, you are trying to win

41
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: the game for the Browns. Thirteen seconds remaining. He lines

42
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: it up, but Hork is with his knee on the

43
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: ground at the forty eight killing over the ball, step back,

44
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: He's into it. Line drive, end overround, The kicks up

45
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: and it is hys God, can you can the bell

46
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: goal from fifty at your time? With the seconds look

47
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: to go over the fall game hero, Your hosts Bo

48
00:02:50,919 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: Bishop and Nathan Zagura. Oh, it's a fun victory Monday.

49
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: They should have cleaned the Browns daily as we do

50
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: it live merely bow and the great z who you

51
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: heard on the call of a thrilling good Lord? Did

52
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:13,399
Speaker 1: we have to have it win over Carolina? You decompress yet,

53
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: my friend? Yeah, we're hot a little. I'm good. Yeah,

54
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: I can't even hear anything out of my ears, but

55
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: who cares? Who needs to hear? I saw it with

56
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: my own eyes. The Cleveland Browns find a way to

57
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: get it done for the first time since two thousand

58
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: and four on opening day and the best thing, and

59
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: you know, talk to a lot of people in this

60
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: building and they will tell you, you know, yeah, we won.

61
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: There's a lot we gotta clean up. There's nothing better

62
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: than cleaning things up after a win as opposed to

63
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: cleaning them up after a heartbreaking loss. So this was

64
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: unbelievable moment and unbelievable kick by Kade York for forty

65
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: seven out of fifty plays and just an insane defensive performance.

66
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the three later on, but you did

67
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: enough to win. And while this offense could have done

68
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: a lot more, you still scored twenty six points. And

69
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: I go back to remind people, had we done that

70
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: consistently last year, we win the a f C North

71
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: and so there's plenty of room for improvement there, but

72
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: a huge win, and it just gives everybody a week,

73
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: I think to relax. It's a different feel, obviously than

74
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: it would have been. I think it's the beauty of

75
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: football in in the in this sense, if you go

76
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: back a year ago to today and you were to

77
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: pull our fan base and the simple question on the

78
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: poll is this, have you ever heard of kde yorke?

79
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: My guess is that the overwhelming vote other than people

80
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: who are Baton Rouge natives or l s U fans

81
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: or who watch a lot of Southeastern Conference football, and

82
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: there probably aren't a whole lot of those in northeast Ohio.

83
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: The overwhelming response would be no, we do not. One

84
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: year later, he stands over a fifty flipp an eight

85
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: yard kick with I was saying as he's lining up,

86
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: he's last week at the end of the show, like,

87
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: if we lose, I'm not doing the show today. Like

88
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: I literally told, I'm sitting there with the boys and

89
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: I'm going, I'm on them. You're on the edge of

90
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: your seat. You're going, my god, if there is one

91
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: find the middle of these uprights, because this would have

92
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: been a brutal, brutal show if there was no fun,

93
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: no joy at all. And having seen him kick so

94
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: often in camp and seen him and paid attention at

95
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: training camp and watched the trajectory of his ball flight.

96
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: It was interesting because as soon as he kicked it, uh,

97
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: my wife and boys are like, oh no, because it

98
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: started out way right, and I went, I said, he's

99
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: got it as soon as soon I knew it was

100
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: coming back, because they all do. That is the trajectory

101
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: of his ball flight. And so having seen him in

102
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: camp do that and then to watch it play out,

103
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: I don't understand how you can't love the sport. My god,

104
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: the unpredictability of it. Every game doesn't really matter, but

105
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: it sure as hell feels like it does, and that

106
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 1: one mattered bigly, not just in the overall grand scheme

107
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,679
Speaker 1: of things for this organization, but in the immediate plans

108
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: of how do we find a way to hand this

109
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: thing to Deshaun Watson in week twelve with a with

110
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: a shot at everything that matters. This was a must win.

111
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: We can downplay it or you try to some last week. No, no,

112
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: you could not lose this game. Not the way you

113
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: played it, not the way you dominated him defensively to

114
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: your point three plays blown. We'll get into that in

115
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: a second. Other than that, you were flawless. Miles was unbelievable.

116
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: Nick Chub was unbelieable. Kareem Hunt was unbelieable. You did

117
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: everything that you wanted to and if you were to

118
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: lose that game, I think the psychological damage on that

119
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: would have been just crippling. Oh my god, and a

120
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: rookie from l s U who nobody a year ago

121
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: had ever heard of, calmly stood over a fifty eight

122
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: yard kick and said, I got this. It was been

123
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: good for sixty eight so when we got the ball

124
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: back a minute and thirteen seconds left, no time outs,

125
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: and I you know, we got a little bit of

126
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: help Ryan Burns. I don't know more supposed to do

127
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: as pass rusher with these are the rules, Taven Brian,

128
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: I would have said the same thing on the roughing

129
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: the passer called on him was absolutely wild. But this

130
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: was a team that clutched up. Cad Yorke clutched up,

131
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: and so did the man joining us on the phone

132
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: right now, Donovan, people's jones. You're leading receiver. Six catches

133
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: sixty yards and I would say all of them were big,

134
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: including a monster catch on a second down play on

135
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: that final drive. That's set up the past. To Cooper,

136
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: that's set up Kate York and he joins us now, DPJ,

137
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: congrats on the wind, congrats on the performance. How you

138
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: doing brother? Yes? Sorry, thank you guys. I'm going good.

139
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: How are you a lot better? A lot better? Donovan?

140
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: I um I started that we were talking a little

141
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: bit about kde York, and I said, you know, if

142
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: I think, if you if you pulled our fans had

143
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: had they ever heard of kde York A year ago

144
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: at this time, the overwhelming answer would have been no.

145
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: I mean, what confidence did you have in him from

146
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: fifty eight with a win or a loss on the line.

147
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: What was going through your mind as the rookie lined up? Well,

148
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: you know there's the practice. He knocks him down to practice,

149
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: so um, you know, you know, we're confident in all

150
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: our players when when put up against a situation like that,

151
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: and you know, and and those type of situations, you know,

152
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: you just hope he makes it. And he kicked it

153
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: and and you know, it looks good and it looked

154
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: like it was going in and then went in and

155
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: you know, suppose sidelines is lit up. It was pure joy.

156
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: What was kind of the discussion? What was the target

157
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: that you guys as an offense wanted to get to.

158
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: In the booth with Jim, we were saying, get it

159
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: to the forty two. He can kick it from the logo.

160
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: I saw him do it in warm ups, which would

161
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: be sixty. Guys, got to the forty. But what was

162
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: the goal that you would set out to at least

163
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: at a minimum get to before you set up that

164
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: field goal. Uh, you know, we want to get to

165
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 1: the thirties to give him, you know, enough space to

166
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: be able to put out. He can he can hit it,

167
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: but you know he he hits him and he you know,

168
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: he doesn't thing well and so you know, he just

169
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: like you get us down to however close we can,

170
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: and you know he did the rest, and um, we

171
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: appreciate that. We do too. Donovan People's Jones, my friend,

172
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what it was. You guys knew what

173
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: was going into that. Take me inside the huddle at

174
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: the start of that last drive with Jacobe Briset. I'm

175
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: sure in the past game you felt like you guys

176
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: maybe left some plays out on the field heading into

177
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: that last series, but you didn't. On that one. You

178
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: made a clutch grab obviously on it. You're able to

179
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: march the field down. Take me into the huddle a

180
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: little bit. What was Jacobe like in the huddle? What

181
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: was the confidence like in the huddle that you could

182
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: get to where you wanted to get to almost got there,

183
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: got to the forty, wanted to get to thirty. As

184
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: you mentioned, what what was it going, what was being

185
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: said in the huddle, What was the feeling like in

186
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: the huddle? Yeah, well, you know he was gonna he

187
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: told us he was gonna lead us down there, and um,

188
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: you know, we all had to do our part. We

189
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: all had to finish, we all had to play our

190
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 1: role in that drive, make the plays when they came

191
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: to us, and you know that's who we did, all right.

192
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 1: I want to go back to our first scoring drive

193
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: because I thought these were the plays that really kind

194
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: of opened everything up for us. Or is our second

195
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: scoring drive? I'm sorry? We get back behind the chains,

196
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: you get a big catch on second down, and then

197
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: you make an unbelievable grab on third down, and that

198
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: kind of got Did you feel like that kind of

199
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: got some momentum going for this offense to get you

200
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: guys in position and then all of a sudden, you're

201
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: real off touchdown, touchdown in its four team nothing. Yeah, Well,

202
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: we had a you know, collective effort from all of

203
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: our guys on the drive, on all of us to

204
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: down drive. Like I said, individually doing our part. Great play,

205
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: you get us open to put us in great positions

206
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: who make great plays, great throws. That only when was

207
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: the last time you ran eight plays in the game

208
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: at Michigan? Maybe? Yeah, maybe, I mean that's good. That's

209
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 1: a lot of offense offensive plays in the NFL and

210
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: place seventy two is the one which I think, well,

211
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: a lot of people will remember. You make a catch there.

212
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: Kareem does a great job picking up a blitz. Jacoby

213
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: is about to get hit by an unblocked nickel blitzer

214
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: from the back. He throws a strike to you and

215
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: you catch it with a guy right on your back.

216
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: What is kind of your mentality? And how have you

217
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: become so good in those money situations, in contested catch situations?

218
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: How have you been able to make those plays consistently?

219
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: And you've done it all three years in your career

220
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: already trusting my quarterback, trusting the play, trust that you

221
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: know I have to run around that that is hard.

222
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: I have to running and running it well, we can

223
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: practice ruse that the ball is gonna be where it

224
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: needs to be, and trust you know in my ability

225
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 1: that I can go attack the ball and and make

226
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: those great catches. It. Yeah, and it certainly was my friend.

227
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: You know, it's been a long time since we've started

228
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: a season one and O around here, and obviously you

229
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: haven't been here for all of that, But just what

230
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: does it mean to start a season not having to

231
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: chase right away to be one and oh, to have

232
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: a victory Monday to prepare for a week to uh,

233
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: knowing that you already have one in the right side

234
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: or the of the ledger with the victory, it's a

235
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: great feeling. It's a great feeling to go in on

236
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: the road, Um week one fairly, you know a lot

237
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 1: of new guys to this team this year, so um,

238
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: that was our first you know, kind of big test

239
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: in the real game situation and we were away, so um,

240
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: you know, it really feels good to come out of

241
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: there with the win and onto next week. Now, what

242
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: was kind of the message today's you guys got to

243
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: come in and I know it has got to be

244
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: much sweeter to adjust, you know, make adjustments and grow

245
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: from a win than it is certainly after a loss

246
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: where you'd be lamenting you know what held you back.

247
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,839
Speaker 1: But what's kind of the mentality for this football team.

248
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: What did you guys see on tape? And what's the

249
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 1: direction getting ready for the Jets? Just continue to approve

250
00:12:54,679 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 1: and continue to u strengthen our strength and strengthen a

251
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: we can do it every day, day and day out.

252
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: That's pretty much what you're focused for. Donovan. Congratulations on

253
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 1: the victory. Thanks for being clutch, buddy. We appreciate you

254
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: a great deal. Thanks for your time. Enjoy your victory Monday,

255
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: my guy, let's go Donovan. People's Jones clutch in that game.

256
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, it's it's a the weight. It felt like

257
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 1: the weight. And you and I were talking after you

258
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: landed yesterday about it wasn't just the fifty eight yard

259
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: like Cage stood over that one to make it twenty

260
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: three for a long time, and I'm like, that one

261
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: made me nervous, like just standing over that thing in

262
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: position to kick, waiting for what felt like I suppose

263
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: it was like fifteen seconds. It felt like it was

264
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: more than that. It was about it's about twenty seconds.

265
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: But I was just thinking to myself, you know, trying

266
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: to make a putt that I really wanted to make,

267
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: even if it was an easy one, and relatively speaking

268
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: for kid York, that was an easy field goal. It

269
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: just gives you. I was. I was talking with one

270
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: of the members of the front office and I said,

271
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: you know, if I was, I kind of made that analogy,

272
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: and I go, it's just human nature that something bad

273
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: is going to pop into your mind in that much time, Like,

274
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: all right, make sure you don't do this instead of

275
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: make sure you do do this. And for him to

276
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 1: be able to hit that when I thought was incredible,

277
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: and i'll tell you what. And I don't know if

278
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: he talked about it much in his postment. He didn't

279
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: have the best warm up, and I wonder if that's

280
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: why early in the game we decided not to try

281
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: a couple of those long field goals that were certainly

282
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: well within his range. He had missed me, but he

283
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: didn't mention it. Yeah, he had a couple he missed

284
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: like two in a row right, and then try to

285
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: make a correction with this wing missed like two in

286
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: a row left, and it was just uh. And then

287
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: obviously in the game he settled down and got into

288
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: his process and was clutch. But I wonder if that

289
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: played a role early because our first three drives all

290
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: ended up in their territory and we have not scoring

291
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: points in or do we attempt any field goals even

292
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: though we probably could have, and you know, those are

293
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: the drives. There was a played at Amari Cooper played

294
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: a Kareem hunt, and then certainly one of Donovan people's

295
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: jones think was our thirteenth offensive play where he had

296
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: an opportunity to just rip one the DPJ off of

297
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: our first play action boot um and he did not.

298
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: But you know, we could have also tried some field goals.

299
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: And I think for him, you know, it's funny. I

300
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: think about you know, sometimes basketball players that are like

301
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: lighting it up in you know, warm ups, and then

302
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: in the game they don't hit anything, and that's because

303
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: it's a different pace, and sometimes a bad warm up

304
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: leads to a great game. And hey, he did it

305
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: when it mattered. And I said, you know, Jimmy kept saying,

306
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: it felt like Hollywood and Charlotte. He said that before

307
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: the game, all the hype Baker, their quarterback, the whole deal,

308
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: and then the way that it played out, honest to god,

309
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: was Hollywood. Ask. I mean, we're up. It was a

310
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: horror movie for a lot of Browns fans of the

311
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, because you've lived at so many damn times

312
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: before you're thinking, my god, now he's gonna do now

313
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: he gets to do this to us. Really, But then

314
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: then and then I mean, when they when they scored,

315
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: you just went, I went, I you know, it's weird.

316
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: And I don't know if Gibbe felt this way in there, well,

317
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: I know it Gibbe was feeling. I don't know. I

318
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: just kind of I've always believed were he was gonna

319
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: get to kick a field goal, and for what, I

320
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: just felt like he was gonna make it. I didn't

321
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: care where it was, I didn't care it was a

322
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: seventy yard I just felt like he was going to

323
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: get to kick one and he was going to make it.

324
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. And and it did, and of course

325
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: it would have. It did have the feel of so

326
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: many Browns fans of years past where we were the

327
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: better team, we should have won the game, and yet

328
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: we let them hang around. We made a few mistakes

329
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden we just lose. Slipped on

330
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: the banana, people pale and it's over. And it did

331
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: have that feel. But this was traditional what the Game

332
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: of Thrones twist did have that. Speaking of the Carolina

333
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: Panthers have like one of the best years I've ever

334
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: seen in my life studio for their team, Like see,

335
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: it would look like we were at the serious X

336
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: time headquarters. Really it was unreal anyway. You got to

337
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: go to the stadium for it, yes, and you're no windows.

338
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: You are not at the facility. You're at the stadium

339
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: and they said, we readid they redid their building and

340
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: they're like, and it was in the blueprint and it

341
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: got taken out. I'm like, well that kind of sucks.

342
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: On off cough, talk back buttons every mike. That's important.

343
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: Those things are important details, right, But what were you feeling?

344
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 1: What was your vibe? I mean, Carolina made the kick

345
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: and I was I've seen it ten years of doing this.

346
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: You you just they're like, I had the sick feeling

347
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: in my stomach. The first thing I thought was, how

348
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: in the hell are we going to do this show tomorrow?

349
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 1: Our show now it would have been the two of you. Well,

350
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: maybe I just want to see on down the road.

351
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: You have to come back on Wednesday. No. So I mean,

352
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: you know, I mean when things like that happened in

353
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: the past, you know, you start to kind of you

354
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: back behind the scenes. You start to kind of tear

355
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: down certain things that you don't need. Frankly, because we

356
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 1: have a time crunch. You know, we have forty minutes

357
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 1: to tear down three hours of set up, get downstairs,

358
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 1: get our gear on the truck, or we get left

359
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: behind and we gotta find our own way home, so

360
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: you know, you start thinking about, Okay, postgame, what am

361
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: I What are we doing here? Like? Is locker room covered?

362
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: Are we you know? Is everybody where they need to

363
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: be for postgame? Where? Who do I need to send

364
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: someone over to the Panthers? Like where we where are

365
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: we at? And then I told I told Nathan, you know,

366
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: and I'm what, you're watching the game, But you're also like,

367
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: all right, I gotta be a step ahead here because

368
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: things are gonna start to happen fast when that clock

369
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: hit zero. So I have this horrible feeling. It's not

370
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 1: good at all. And the thing that brought me back

371
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: in all the way was the rough thing the passer play,

372
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: because once that happened, I'm like, we're at the forty.

373
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: If we can't get twenty yards with the team that

374
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 1: we have, then maybe we don't deserve to win this today.

375
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: But I think all of those were legitimate questions. And

376
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 1: let's let's acknowledge the elephant in the room here. Had

377
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: Baker done that, which was part of the reason that

378
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 1: he isn't here is because there weren't a lot of

379
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: those where he goes and he was bad in the

380
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: first half dreadful. Um, well, it was real, it was justified.

381
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: It was all of the reasons that you moved off

382
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: where it was all there, that that was the experience

383
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: was right there for you. But you know, damn good

384
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: and well, had that had happened, not only would he

385
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 1: probably literally been dancing on your graves literally, but the

386
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: NFL world would have been dancing on the celebration. So

387
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 1: there were so many layers to this. It wasn't just

388
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: another opener. It wasn't just another gang in close and

389
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: and we blew it. It was the human aspect of

390
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: a guy. We picked number one who we had for

391
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: four years and said, this, ain't it to beat Kansas

392
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: City and the Chiefs and uh are in the Chargers

393
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: and the Bengals and whoever else like that, ain't it?

394
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: Although he's very good against the Bengals. Um, but the

395
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: reality is that's on it. And then but then he

396
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: gets to beat you. No, can't happen. So that added

397
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: only to it exponentially. There's no doubt and what has

398
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: happened because of the fact that it came down to

399
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 1: such a dramatic finish and it involved kde York making

400
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: a fifty eight year field goal for the Browns to win.

401
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: The game's almost an afterthought. In fact, what actually transpired

402
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: on the field, it feels like a total afterthought, whereas

403
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: had the converse been true, the game would have been

404
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: micro analyzed. And look, there's a lot of good and

405
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 1: we'll talk about the good. Our ability to run the football.

406
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: James Hudson was terrific at right tackle. Our defense was terrific.

407
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 1: Caven Brian Jordan Elliott, Tommy toy I Perry on the

408
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: interior of our line, which was a question mark, was terrific.

409
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: M j Emerson in his first start may have been

410
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 1: our best corner yesterday. I mean, there are a lot

411
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: of positives that we'll talk about it in great detail.

412
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 1: Kareem Chob the whole deal. But that would have been

413
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: the talk would have been focus on all the negative

414
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: breakdowns in coverage, which should not happen for a team

415
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: with guys that have been in this defense for two

416
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: years and and you know, big big breakdowns, massive breakdowns

417
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: that basically fueled their entire offense by the way, um

418
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: and you know, it would have been about did Jacoby

419
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: play well enough? Due what do we need a quarterback?

420
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: What do Blah blah blah, all of the all of it.

421
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: And now it's all, like I said, we get to

422
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: exhale here. The fact is you beat a team in

423
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: the National Football League that quite frankly, you should have

424
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: beat Now. They were favored over you for the majority

425
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: of the weekend. It ended right around to pick them.

426
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: Some places I saw the Browns favorite. Some places I

427
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: still saw Carolina favored. You should have beaten them, But

428
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: you went on the road, new quarterback. It wasn't perfect.

429
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: There is a room for growth. And as I was

430
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: talking with one of the guys on the staff here today,

431
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: you know said, you know, could have been like the

432
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 1: Kansas City game. So guess what there win counts the

433
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: same as ours. You can't. You don't get two wins

434
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: for blowing somebody out. And by the way, Arizona is

435
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: a little bit of trouble. Did you see cliss quote?

436
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: Now we need to have better practice habits. Anyway, we'll

437
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: save that for later. But I mean when you think

438
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: about what was in the contract and is now out

439
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: of the contract, and then you that's your first week's assessment. Nonetheless,

440
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 1: but huge win, and it's great to be able to

441
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 1: improve on things and say you know what, we should

442
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: have won this by X number of points. We didn't,

443
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: but he still one. Yes you did, Yes you did,

444
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: and it prevented all those other things in a very

445
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: very different show today with yesterday's with I'm here, that's

446
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,240

Speaker 1: Like we were saying, there are there are a lot

475
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: of things that need to be sorted out and fixed.

476
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: It's much more fun to do so in a win.

477
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: So let's do that now. What we did well, what

478
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: we need, what we did that has to get better.

479
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: Let's let's work. You and I are both glasses have

480
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: full optimists by nature. What did you like that we

481
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: did well and what do you think travels week to

482
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: week here in the early start of this season. Well,

483
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: I'll just start with the fact that we can absolutely

484
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: run the football, and we can run the football on anybody.

485
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what the Browns did in this one.

486
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: The Browns for the game, you know, you had Nick Chubb,

487
00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: you had Kareem Hunt, you had a couple of reverse

488
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: is to Anthony Schwartz. You ran the ball thirty nine

489
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: times for two hundred and seventeen yards five point six

490
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: yards per carry. I thought that you were able to

491
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: impose your will. You ran for eleven first downs. You

492
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,199
Speaker 1: had six runs, six of more than ten yards in

493
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: this game. You were great after contact. That's the staple

494
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: of our two unbelievable backs. You had a hundred sixty

495
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: three of your two seventeen after contact, four point one

496
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 1: eight to carry that travels. You absolutely can run the football,

497
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 1: and that's what this team did and they did it

498
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: very very well. And so that is that's number one.

499
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,919
Speaker 1: Number two. You kept your quarterback clean. You did a

500
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: good job keeping Jacoby Brissett in a good situation. Now

501
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a flip side. Okay, here's gonna

502
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: give you two two for one. We've got to be

503
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: better from a clean pocket. That's where you've got to

504
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: make your money in the NFL. You've got to be

505
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 1: sevent completions. You've got to be at least seven eight

506
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: yards in attempt. That's where you've got to shine. And

507
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: yesterday Brissette was kept clean seventy at a time, but

508
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: only fifty two percent completions four yards an attempt. That's

509
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: where we must be better. When everything is blocked up

510
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: for you and it's all working, we've got to be

511
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 1: a better football team. But I think offensively, that's what travels.

512
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: The strength of our line, the strength of our running backs,

513
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 1: and our ability to protect our quarterback and give him

514
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 1: opportunities to make big place. If you listen to the show,

515
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 1: it went the way that we said it would go.

516
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: That I would have to go for us. Offensively, we

517
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: just didn't make the plays in the past game that

518
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: we're there. The layoups had to be layups. Some of

519
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: them weren't. And that's the reason that this is instead

520
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: of um and so that's something that you can't live with,

521
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: that that type of a needle to thread. You can't

522
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: live that way week to week in the NFL. You've

523
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 1: got to make. You gotta hit on some of those layups.

524
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: Jacoby missed some. I don't think he will going forward,

525
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: but he did this week, and that's something that's got

526
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: to get cleaned up. You're right, and you're not gonna

527
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: be here at two stats from a clean pocket, thirteen

528
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: one yards in a touchdown, fifty two percent completions. Uh

529
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 1: as I said, four yards an attempt. He will be

530
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: better on that. I guarantee it. Here's the other thing.

531
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 1: Play action. Nine play action dropbacks. We were one for

532
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 1: five for one yard and the only one that was

533
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: completed was the touchdown to Kareem Hunt at the goal line.

534
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: We will be better off of play action. That's what

535
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns do. They are better. We are one

536
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: of the best play action throwing teams in the league.

537
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: So that will improve. That's where it will get better.

538
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: I feel pretty confident in that thirty eight touches and

539
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 1: a half they went. I'll tell you something, he had

540
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: a nice start to his over under his OA dance

541
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: and give a chesty, give a It's all in play

542
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: right now. Lots of chestiness. Um, I'll tell you this.

543
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: You and I talked about it on the show last

544
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 1: year from time to time, but I think a lot

545
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: of people forgot when Kareem went down last year. He

546
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: is such an emotional piston for this team, and the

547
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: way that he plays and runs with just a reckless

548
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: abandon is something that is contagious. And you see what

549
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: a healthy Kareem Hunt can do. The idea that you

550
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 1: have I think the best running back in the league,

551
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 1: and then you have Kareem Hunt is a top ten

552
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: running back in the league. When you have them both healthy,

553
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 1: this is what it can look like. It's devastating for

554
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: an opposition, Absolutely devastating. Yeah, and the two of them

555
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: in this game would combine for a hundred and eighty

556
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: seven yards and a touchdown on the ground on thirty

557
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: three carries. Kareem would have four catches twenty four and

558
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,199
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Shove one catch for two yards, so you

559
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: had another twenty six yards total on top of that. Uh,

560
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: and so you're over two hundred total yards and two

561
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: touchdowns from that backfield. And yes, Kareem gives you a

562
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: lot emotionally. A couple of key third downs. And here's

563
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: something I want to stress as well. It probably felt

564
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: two people watching the game like the Browns ran a

565
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: ton of third downs, a ton, and you would be right.

566
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: Eighteen third downs. Now, we did a pretty good job

567
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: eight of eighteen. And I thought Jacoby Brissette some of

568
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: his best throws and Donovan People's Jones name was called

569
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: quite often came on third down. We weren't we last year.

570
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: And the goal of this offense is to get a

571
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: first down on first or second down fifty percent of

572
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: the time. Yesterday it was about twenty at the time.

573
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: We will be better in those situations going forward. So

574
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: this was in terms of an offensive performance. This was

575
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: not a was probably a running overall we'll call to

576
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: see performance offensively, and yet you still got twenty six points.

577
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: I'm not saying we're gonna be super high flying and

578
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: all of that, but boy, you can see where this

579
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: offense can be with DeShawn Watson at quarterback ten games

580
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: to go and the Jacoby Brissette's team. But and Jacoby

581
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,959
Speaker 1: will be better, but there are opportunities to make plays

582
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: out there in this scheme, and that is quite quite clear.

583
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: So you've got you had two seven yards out of

584
00:29:55,400 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: the two backs, they're abouts now all of a sudden,

585
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: you know, we gotta get there. But when you get there,

586
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: now you put a top five or six quarterback in

587
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: the league operating it. Now. Good luck. That's the reason

588
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: that all of this was done. Guys, you watched the

589
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: league this weekend. Did you watch Kansas City? Did you

590
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: watch the Chargers? You watch the Bills. That's why this

591
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: was all done. Because you're trying to win a super

592
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: Bowl and and that's the deal here and Jacoby will

593
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: get better. Um. The other thing we do really well

594
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: is well we have Miles, so that helps. We did. Okay,

595
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: this defense has talked about, you know, wanting to come

596
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: out and be the number one defense in the NFL. Right,

597
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: that's that's really what this team had talked about. The

598
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: Browns showed that for forty seven of fifty plays, for

599
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: forty seven plays, and in those forty seven plays, you

600
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: have four sacks, you have an interception, You limit the

601
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers offense to a hundred and eight yards on

602
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: forty seven place two point two yards per play, which

603
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: is defense that you don't ever see in the NFL.

604
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: And now you'd say, well, teams hit chunk plays. Not

605
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: one of the chunk plays they hit were because they

606
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: did just it wasn't just the course of normal football.

607
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: You had two blown coverages. Unacceptable, and I know that

608
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: the Browns feel like it is. They are unacceptable situations

609
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: as well, and we can we can break down those

610
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: plays in a little bit, but unacceptable. And then the

611
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: other chunk play they got was twenty eight yards off

612
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: of a drop snap when everybody went for the ball

613
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: and then Christian McAffrey picked it up and was able

614
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: to get run for it for twenty yards. So abnormal stuff.

615
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: That's got to be cleaned up, make no mistake about

616
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: it got to be cleaned up. More fun to talk

617
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: about cleaning up after a win. But other than that,

618
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: you got to the quarterback, you played suffocating coverage. Oh

619
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: we're not gonna be able to stop the run. Christian

620
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: McCaffrey went nowhere, folks, nowhere in this game. He finished

621
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: the game running ten carries for thirty three yards. We'll

622
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: say again, ten carries for thirty three yards, which is

623
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: interesting me, like, how do they categorize that other play?

624
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: Like does he not isn't it doesn't have to be

625
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: a run was that that count? Yeah, it would have

626
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: to be. That's a good question. Yeah, the twenty eight

627
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: yard I mean it's not a pass, it's goods strange

628
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: because nine yards a fumble, recovery, fumble, recovered and advanced

629
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: on advanced twenty yards. But he doesn't get his own

630
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: he doesn't get rushing yards for that. And they had

631
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 1: trouble with the snap they put up on the ground

632
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: five times, so we didn't recover any of them. But

633
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you killed Christian McCaffrey was very talented to

634
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: ten for thirty three. His long run was nine yards,

635
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: and unfortunately came at a very critical time. It was

636
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: on a third down where had we stopped them right there?

637
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: And that's a couple of mistackles. Now, Austin Corvick got

638
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: away with a hold there, Taven Brian blew that play

639
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: up um. But we overall this showed you what this

640
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: defense can be. When you talk about dominant, you talk

641
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,719
Speaker 1: about we talked d J. Moore and Christian McCaffrey, how

642
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: good they are. D J. Moore three catches, four three yards.

643
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: He had fifty total yards. McCaffrey had fifty seven total yards.

644
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: The two of them a hundred and seven, toty, that's nothing.

645
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: Now you gave up the chunk to Robby Anderson seventy

646
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: five and fifty two Ian Thomas, you take those away.

647
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: You played great, d but you can't take them away.

648
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: They happened, but they need to be cleaned up, and

649
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: they will be cleaned up, Yes they will. This is

Speaker 1: player on the field that with Miles Garrett. Let's have

672
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 1: Whatever game? It's always nice to win. No, you don't

673
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: like to leave it that close, especially on defense. You

674
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: know you have a lead and let them get some momentum,

675
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: make some plays. I'm going back to the drawing board

676
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: and see where we can fix those mistakes. Is is

677
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: really where our heads are now? And uh, you know

678
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 1: once that that way was off our shoulders with us

679
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: getting a lead, you know with that kick, we knew

680
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: we had to cap it off and you know it

681
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: was time to finally step up to the plate and

682
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:13,280
Speaker 1: end it. Miles was also asked about speaking with Baker

683
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: post game. Here's what Miles had to say about that

684
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: share two competitors. I mean player, the player, man and

685
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: man I go to you know, most of the guys

686
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,760
Speaker 1: I was competing against on the field, maybe I'm able

687
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,439
Speaker 1: to see off of the linement. I'll go see them,

688
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: you know, the wide receivers, half back, tight end, all

689
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: the guys who was able to compete with. It's a

690
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: privilege to be able to know step on this field

691
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: and play against. These guys were some of the you know,

692
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: the world's best athletes and uh, you know America's best.

693
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,399
Speaker 1: So I'm just happy to be out here. And uh,

694
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: I don't tell the guys to be grateful for it,

695
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: all right, looks over Jacoby ber set on the final

696
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: drive that last du I mean we we've practiced that

697
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: situation so many times. Um, and just give us a chance,

698
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 1: you know. Uh. And I mean coach on the sideline

699
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: told me we needed to get to the forty um

700
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: to try for fifty eight yard and um, I mean

701
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: after we after got the penalty, I was like, yeah,

702
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 1: we I mean one more big chunk that which we

703
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: were going for. Um, give us. It gives us a chance.

704
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: And um, you know, Donovan did a great job. Uh.

705
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: And and I mean obviously other players and Danes leading

706
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: up to it, and I mean we trusted Kate Um.

707
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:38,359
Speaker 1: We've seen him do it in practice a bunch and

708
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: and came through for us. Did he leave some plays

709
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: on the field. Yeah. Did he make some clutch, big

710
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: time throws. Yes. When you saw the start of this,

711
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: this press conversation, did you see him get emotional when

712
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: they asked, Yeah, you don't have to worry about this.

713
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: Give a damn level. Man gets all there as big

714
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 1: as it can be. He is going to you. Would

715
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: you know, obviously you hope for improvement. You hope him

716
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: he hit some more things. But as I said, eighty

717
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 1: one yards of his forty seven passing came on third downs.

718
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 1: He gave you some big plays to extend drives. The

719
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: past to Anthony Schwartz, was a monster play in that game.

720
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: The past, the Donovan people's jones on the last drive,

721
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: a couple of third down passes, the Donmond people's jones

722
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: that allowed some of our touchdown drives to happen. The

723
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 1: third and thirteen I thought unbelievable play called the screen

724
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: that to me was one of the most stupefying plays

725
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 1: because at corn that end of the first half, that

726
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: allowed us to get an extra three points, which turned

727
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: out to be needed right at the end of the

728
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 1: game where we get a first down on a third

729
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: and thirteen screen, like how were they not looking? Screen?

730
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: And we executed it so well. Ethan post It cut off,

731
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: he caught him in man. They played a ton of

732
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: man against us. Ethan post it cut off the man

733
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,760
Speaker 1: that was covering Kareem Hunt and the rest was history.

734
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, you don't have to worry about Jacoby's given Damn,

735
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about the fact that he

736
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 1: is gonna put in the work. He's gonna be diligent.

737
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: You know. Is he an elite quarterback? That's why he

738
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: was able to be had here to come in after

739
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. But is he a guy that again, what

740
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: did we say about him? You're not gonna win many

741
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 1: games because of Jacoby Brisette, And right now, that's where

742
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: the bar is in the league. When you watch Josh Allen,

743
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: when you watch Patrick Mahomes, when you watch you know,

744
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 1: justin Herbert, We're we have that not right now. But

745
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: he's not going to lose you the game. And he

746
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 1: didn't make any critical mistakes, and he did make a

747
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 1: couple of critical throws that got us in position for

748
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: Kade York's heroics. Speaking of that, here is the hero

749
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 1: of the day, Mr York on the final opportunity. I

750
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 1: was ready for us soon as I They stalled him

751
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:36,959
Speaker 1: on that last one, and we had a minute left,

752
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: and it's either going to be we're gonna throw spiked

753
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 1: the ball and kick a fieldgal, It's gonna be a

754
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: may Day situation kind of just I think they knew

755
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,280
Speaker 1: that wherever we get to, let's let's go for unless

756
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: it's something absurd like a seventy five yard or um.

757
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: I think once we got a certain situation, you just

758
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: gotta let it loose. Um. And I was excited about it.

759
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,760
Speaker 1: I kind of get into the same in those situations,

760
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: not just get real locked in. And it almost tall vision.

761
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: So I don't really remember everything about it, but it

762
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: felt good. Well it's a cue cover that dude. Man.

763
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 1: Did you hear his answer when he was asked what

764
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,919
Speaker 1: was the difference between that in the fifty seven yard

765
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:17,800

Speaker 1: here's your coach Kevin Stefanski at the podium from earlier today.

792
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,879
Speaker 1: Like we talked about yesterday, good team win. I thought

793
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: it would be a sixty minute and it was um

794
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: and the guys fought to the very end planning to

795
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 1: clean up. And that's what you have to do. You

796
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: can't just say, hey, we gotta win. Let's let's move on.

797
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: There's there's stuff that we're cleaning up right now as

798
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: we speak in those meeting rooms. And then we got

799
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: to turn the page. So as exciting as it was,

800
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:18,839
Speaker 1: we gotta turned the page. When the players walk out

801
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 1: the door here in about an hour or so, we

802
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 1: are onto the jets, So that would be our mentality.

803
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 1: But some unbelievable individual efforts yesterday that we're really really

804
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 1: excited about, but uh really looking to the things that

805
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: we can improve and and clean up and just get

806
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 1: better because we got to. We have to continue to

807
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,839
Speaker 1: get better throughout this season and with that, will take

808
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: any questions. Thanks Kevin, I hope you got me. Okay,

809
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: my internet it's a little wonky here. So um, you

810
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 1: mentioned needing to clean some things up. But in terms

811
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 1: of kind of leaning on your ground game, getting some

812
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 1: plays out of your defense, hoping your special teams improved,

813
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 1: it kind of follow the plan that you had hoped

814
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 1: in some way is time. I just I know that

815
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 1: game in particular, we really could have pulled away earlier.

816
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: Uh you know, going one for four in the red zone.

817
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:10,399
Speaker 1: You know, we double dip at the end of half,

818
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 1: we get a field goal, get the ball in the

819
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: second half, get a field goal. So you score on

820
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: consecutive possessions, but only six points. So there's just there

821
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: are opportunities to be better early so that you don't

822
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: have to kick a fifty eight yard or at along

823
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,280
Speaker 1: those lines. To Kobe had a couple of misses early

824
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 1: on and then afterwards, Kevin, he was he was emotional

825
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: about this opportunity for him. Do you expect him to

826
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 1: kind of settle in a little bit, not only just

827
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: getting kind of the first game jitters out, but just

828
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 1: you know, embracing this opportunity that he's got. Yeah, I think,

829
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: like all our players, Tom, I really do believe that

830
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: he can continue to get better. I think he will

831
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: continue to get better. Having said that, I know there

832
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:54,320
Speaker 1: were some misses, but the throw to Donovan the second

833
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: to last completion there and that we completed tomorrow to

834
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 1: get to the forty. But that throwed at Donovan with

835
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 1: a play air bearing down on him, was unblocked, standing

836
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,359
Speaker 1: in the pocket making that throw. That's that's a big

837
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,479
Speaker 1: time football right there. So he can be better. Um,

838
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:11,359
Speaker 1: but really really proud of how he finished that game.

839
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: Speaking of Donovan, Kevin really looked like he just made

840
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 1: every contested catch he possibly could with such a factor

841
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 1: out there when maybe some other guys were struggling a

842
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: little bit. So can you just comment on his game? Yeah,

843
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 1: Mary kay, Uh, really from the beginning to the end,

844
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: early in the game and then late in the game

845
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: and throughout, he just he made the plays that came

846
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 1: to him. You mentioned the contested catches, some of them

847
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 1: on third down, some of the two minute there. Uh.

848
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 1: And that's a that's a variable, very valuable asset to

849
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: have as a receiver where even when you're covered, you're not,

850
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: so for him to go up and get the ball

851
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 1: was impressive in a bunch those moments. Yeah, coach, I

852
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:54,240
Speaker 1: don't know if you can reveal how many snaps Kareem

853
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 1: and Nick played together, but just curious is what you

854
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 1: thought of that combination and how way it can grow. Yeah.

855
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:05,319
Speaker 1: I don't have the exact number, Marlo, but yeah, it's

856
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,439
Speaker 1: something that we're always going to explore weekend and week

857
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 1: out what we feel like gives the defense a tough time,

858
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:16,240
Speaker 1: and there there were plenty of snaps versus that defense

859
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: of looks like that, So we'll continue to explore those

860
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,240
Speaker 1: type of things. You know, part of the offensive game

861
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: plan is always too do what we do, but also

862
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 1: try to do things that may give them problems. So

863
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: moving forward, definitely could see something like that growing. And

864
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 1: in terms of Nick, you know, he's leaping over the line,

865
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: I mean you just is that the most kind of

866
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 1: dominating you know, I mean not in terms of stats,

867
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: but just the style of running from Nick that you've

868
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:48,399
Speaker 1: seen in your tenure. He had two runs Marlow late

869
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 1: in the game. I'm not gonna tell you the name

870
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,439
Speaker 1: of the play, but two runs late in the game

871
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 1: consecutive that are as good as as there is in

872
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: the NFL. Making guys missed, jumping over people playing physical.

873
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: It was a site to behold. I know, miscommunication happens defensively.

874
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,720
Speaker 1: You had two big ones yesterday that led to points.

875
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: Obviously that seventy five yard or and then uh, the

876
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: one right before McCaffrey's uh touchdown run. Um. It's something

877
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,439
Speaker 1: we saw last year to where there were mixed ups

878
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 1: and granted last year you had so many moving parts

879
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:25,839
Speaker 1: in that secondary. Uh, just after going back looking at

880
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 1: the film, what happened on those plays and and how

881
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: do you clean that up? Yeah, that was really disappointing

882
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 1: because we played really really good defense yesterday and to

883
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:40,320
Speaker 1: give up seventy five yards and fifty yards and even

884
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 1: on the fumbled snap and then they pick it up

885
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: and get twenty eight yards. That's a lot of yards

886
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: on three plays. Uh. And those were just you know,

887
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:52,879
Speaker 1: moments for us just not doing our job. And yes,

888
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 1: there are miscommunications, but those type of things should not happen. Um,

889
00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 1: and we'll get it fixed. Good stuff from coach to

890
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 1: Ansky there. On the other side of this quiz quick

891
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:05,480

908
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: a lot of hands on effort being my boss. Yeah,

00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:29,239

Speaker 1: us take through your as you're as you're taking this

919
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 1: all intoday and Carolina goes up with a minute and change.

920
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 1: Let's running through your head. Disbelief. That's the first thing

921
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 1: that's running through my head, because I'm watching this game

922
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 1: through a football coaches lens, and I'm seeing that the

923
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 1: Browns completely dismantled the Panthers in almost every category outside

924
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 1: of well what turned out to be nearly the deciding factor,

925
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 1: which was those two big blown coverages, the time where

926
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 1: the Panthers pick up a drop snap and run for

927
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,800
Speaker 1: like forty yards um, and then the way the Browns

928
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 1: finished a couple of drives and missed a couple of

929
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 1: throws like this could have been a thirty point victory

930
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 1: very easily if you just make routine plays. And I'm

931
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:49,279
Speaker 1: sitting there watching the Browns nearly lose, and I'm going,

932
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:52,800
Speaker 1: how is this even possible? Like this is our golden

933
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 1: opportunity to finally get to one to know for the

934
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:58,839
Speaker 1: first time in week one and what eighteen years and

935
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna squad it, but Ka York says no, and

936
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 1: bring pure joy back to all of northeast Ohio. Which

937
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 1: I was watching it from my uh my condo in

938
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:18,799
Speaker 1: Cleveland and going asolety bonkers downstairs making trouble, uh, And

939
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:21,760
Speaker 1: I screamed so loud they actually ran upstairs. They thought

940
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 1: something had happened, like somebody got injured where there was

941
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 1: like someone in need of some serious medical attention. It

942
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 1: was absolutely bonkers in my house. Huh when it went

943
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:39,920
Speaker 1: through the uprights, and pure joy was the emotion and

944
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 1: the elation. While one win is just one win? What

945
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,360
Speaker 1: does that actually mean though? In the locker room to

946
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: be one and oh after the first week, the difference

947
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 1: in terms of the outside and maybe even the internal

948
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:55,839
Speaker 1: perception of what went down on the field. How much

949
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 1: different is it after a last second win than it

950
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:00,840
Speaker 1: would have been had that kick miss? And you're kicking

951
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 1: yourself over the things that need to be cleaned up

952
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:05,799
Speaker 1: that led to a loss, rather than saying, Okay, we

953
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 1: won and we can still fix these things and get better. Well,

954
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 1: that's the weird and sickle nature of sports. And I

955
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 1: think part of the reason why we get so obsessed

956
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 1: with these football games is, you know, it's a kicker.

957
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 1: Mostly abody to consider kicker as part of the team.

958
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 1: But yet the fact that he's able to make that

959
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 1: changes your perspective on the hundred and forty plays that

960
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 1: happened before that. You win, that he makes the kick,

961
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 1: You're feeling confident about all the decisions that the organization

962
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 1: has made in the last nine months. As a team.

963
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:43,879
Speaker 1: You're thinking, yeah, we can rally behind Jacoby Brissett. Maybe

964
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 1: not his best game as a professional, but he led

965
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 1: us to the victory. We see the formula that the

966
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 1: team has laid out for us. Play defense, round the football,

967
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:55,360
Speaker 1: don't make mistakes at quarterback. Like all of a sudden,

968
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:59,799
Speaker 1: you're believing everything that being installed to you from your

969
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 1: saching staff. As a fan, you're believing everything that the

970
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:07,359
Speaker 1: franchise is telling you that are reasons to be optimistic

971
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 1: about this season. And it's so funny. It just came

972
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 1: down to one kickers leg a guy that had played

973
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 1: no games in his NFL career, who had to play

974
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 1: a hype and training camp but had never been in

975
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 1: that situation in his entire life. And for him to

976
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 1: drill it the way he did, which would have been good,

977
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 1: by the way, from like seventy yards, uh beyond insane.

978
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 1: Like usually when a kicker's kicking beyond fifty yards, the

979
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:35,399
Speaker 1: ball comes out with a real low trajectory, right, because

980
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,319
Speaker 1: he's trying to get it there right, He's gotta hit

981
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 1: it really low and hard, like a line drive. But

982
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 1: I kicked by Cade. I had some altitude too. I

983
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 1: mean it went way up in the air and curve

984
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 1: back in and went right down in the middle. You

985
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 1: could tell right after he hit it if you watched

986
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 1: Cade's reaction, he knew that thing was golden and that

987
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:58,440
Speaker 1: he hit it absolutely perfect. Yeah. I mean, and you

988
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 1: had the preseason games, obviously, you were at camp a

989
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 1: bunch like we were. It was funny. I was watching

990
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 1: with the boys, and they they thought he missed because

991
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 1: they thought it looked like it was wide right, But

992
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 1: having seen him kick so many deep kicks, I knew

993
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:11,800
Speaker 1: he'd absolutely hit it on the screws because that's exactly

994
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:14,319
Speaker 1: what his ball flight is every time. As soon as

995
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: he hit it, I knew it was gonna come back

996
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:18,719
Speaker 1: because we've been seeing that all camps. So there was

997
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 1: just absurd join that. Joe the other thing that and

998
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 1: Nathan I talked about this in the first segment of

999
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 1: the show. Look, you you could have tried to downplay,

1000
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 1: and I think sometimes people in the organization did because

1001
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 1: it's the right thing to do, or people tell you

1002
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:32,440
Speaker 1: the right thing to do. But the reality is is

1003
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:34,719
Speaker 1: the quarterback on the other team was on your team

1004
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:38,360
Speaker 1: for four years. You upgraded from him. He had unleashed

1005
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 1: shirts that were printed last week. He certainly and you

1006
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:43,240
Speaker 1: got even credit for this, He owned up how emotional

1007
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 1: he was going into it. If he is the guy

1008
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 1: who drives down and gets a game winning kick and

1009
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 1: then wins, you're dealing with an entirely different thing, like

1010
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 1: he's dancing on logos. You know how that thing's gonna go.

1011
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 1: So to prevent all of that, there was such relief

1012
00:52:57,719 --> 00:52:59,840
Speaker 1: in that too. I'm sure you felt that as well.

1013
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: Oh clearly, because you know everybody in Cleveland that's a

1014
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 1: Brown fan is um buying into what's being sold. Of

1015
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 1: the team right now. And you know, there's plenty of

1016
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 1: people that still wish Baker was here, Like I think

1017
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:17,319
Speaker 1: that was the polarizing nature of the move. But for

1018
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:20,280
Speaker 1: the people that feel good about the roster that they're

1019
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 1: right now, obviously this was a huge referendum in their

1020
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:26,320
Speaker 1: own mind, right, And you guys have been hitting the

1021
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 1: nail on the head for the last couple of weeks

1022
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 1: calling this game the rough endum on the decisions and

1023
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 1: the moves that have been made. And certainly, if you,

1024
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 1: like most Brown fans, convinced yourself that this is the

1025
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 1: right move and they can win it all this season,

1026
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 1: you know, just like there's a player like, hey, these

1027
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 1: are the reasons in my head why I'm gonna give

1028
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:49,320
Speaker 1: my best effort because this team deserves because this is

1029
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:51,759
Speaker 1: a super Bowl roster that whether that's true or not,

1030
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:55,720
Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter. That's just the mentality of NFL fans,

1031
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 1: right because that's what makes you want to watch. Like,

1032
00:53:58,120 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 1: if you don't think you're the team your team has

1033
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,280
Speaker 1: a chance to win the Super Bowl, it's hard to

1034
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 1: spend the emotional currency that you do every Sunday watching

1035
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 1: your team and cheering him on and had gone the

1036
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:11,920
Speaker 1: other way. To your point, like, we know that as

1037
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 1: much as Baker tried to downplay it after the game,

1038
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:16,360
Speaker 1: where well, you know this is this is not the

1039
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 1: super Bowl. We got sixteen more games. It wasn't going

1040
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 1: to be that emotional. No, no, no, the script would

1041
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 1: have been completely flipped. Had he won, he would have

1042
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:30,600
Speaker 1: been answered all over the place. There would have been

1043
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 1: flags being planted. Remember what he did when uh he

1044
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:39,239
Speaker 1: went and played Hugh Jackson Hunton. There's a lot of

1045
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 1: cross crabbing and other vulgar statements towards the Browns sideline

1046
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 1: because as we heard to lead up to the game

1047
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 1: and even a little bit after the game, there was

1048
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:52,400
Speaker 1: there was not a lot of love lost between Baker

1049
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 1: and especially the defensive side of the football after he left. So, um,

1050
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 1: you know that had he won, he is not going

1051
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:02,400
Speaker 1: to hold back at all. But to his credit, he

1052
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 1: did a good job keeping his emotions in check throughout

1053
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 1: the game and not making it about himself. So potentially,

1054
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 1: if you're a Carolina fan, you're feeling good about maybe

1055
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 1: the maturation of Baker and that how he's found a

1056
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:18,280
Speaker 1: little bit more maturity inside of himself. That will certainly

1057
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 1: helped propel him to greater success in the future. I

1058
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 1: mean the funny thing and you go back to you

1059
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:28,319
Speaker 1: mentioned and you know we talked about being a referendum

1060
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 1: like it was a wonderful referendum for the majority of

1061
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:36,879
Speaker 1: the game and save three plays on defense, I mean

1062
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 1: the referendum on defense. Yes, this team is elite Offensively,

1063
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 1: we put twenty six points on the board. Find that's

1064
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:44,960
Speaker 1: all we need to do with the defense of this caliber.

1065
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:49,640
Speaker 1: We ran them everything was there, A few misspasses on offense,

1066
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 1: a few misplays on defense, and you know, it is

1067
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 1: a totally different game and one where you're go nuts.

1068
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:57,319
Speaker 1: But the good news is one win. Whether it's by

1069
00:55:57,400 --> 00:55:59,320
Speaker 1: one point two points or thirty in the case of

1070
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:01,840
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, they count the same. So off, let me

1071
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 1: ask you this as a perfectionist like you are, and

1072
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 1: we'll focus on the defense and sely question about our

1073
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: offensive line. Forty seven plays for the Panthers netted a

1074
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:13,120
Speaker 1: hundred and eight yards three plays, two blown coverages, and

1075
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:15,759
Speaker 1: one fumble. Weirdoh play that McCaffrey picks up and runs

1076
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 1: for twenty one ft three, So you have two point

1077
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:21,480
Speaker 1: two yards of play on forty seven fifty place. Those

1078
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:23,879
Speaker 1: three are gonna be ones that they focus on. How

1079
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 1: do you deal with two busts that basically were the

1080
00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:29,680
Speaker 1: entirety of the Panther's offense? How do you deal with that?

1081
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:31,160
Speaker 1: How do you clean it up? How do you process

1082
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:33,799
Speaker 1: that that? What's the mindset of coaches players to get

1083
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 1: that right? When the Jets come to town, well, I

1084
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 1: think you have to treat all the plays somewhat similarly

1085
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:42,520
Speaker 1: because you don't want to fall into the roller coaster

1086
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:45,719
Speaker 1: trap of well, this play had a bigger impact on

1087
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:47,880
Speaker 1: the outcome of the game, so we're gonna make a

1088
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:50,920
Speaker 1: bigger deal about this. Obviously, it's important to illustrate, like

1089
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:55,360
Speaker 1: when you're in the secondary, any play could become a touchdown,

1090
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:59,920
Speaker 1: and so being deeper than the deepest and not taking

1091
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 1: chances and situations where if the risk doesn't pay off,

1092
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:06,480
Speaker 1: it's a touchdown for the other team. It's really important.

1093
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:09,560
Speaker 1: So understanding the gravity that situation is the same as

1094
00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:11,799
Speaker 1: as a left tackle. I had to understand that every

1095
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 1: time we drop back the past, if I missed my guy,

1096
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 1: it could easily turn into a sack, bumble and seven

1097
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 1: for the other team, or worse, it could be that

1098
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:22,160
Speaker 1: and your quarterback could be injured. So we always said

1099
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 1: that even more than defensive backs, there's more weight on

1100
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:28,280
Speaker 1: us from everything that we do because one of our

1101
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 1: bad plays could be giving up seven and you could

1102
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 1: have injuries and u quarterback situation issues. But with that

1103
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 1: being said, like it's important for that defense to understand,

1104
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 1: like every play that you make, it's important to try

1105
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 1: to be perfect and and so that's when you're in

1106
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:49,040
Speaker 1: the film room and you're just grading everything very very harshly.

1107
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 1: You're going through it with a fine tooth because when

1108
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:56,720
Speaker 1: you're playing against a better talent on offense, you know,

1109
00:57:56,800 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 1: getting up two blown coverage touchdowns or nearer touchdowns and

1110
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 1: then a busted play on that long run like that

1111
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 1: could be the difference in the game. And explosive plays.

1112
00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 1: It's easy for us to sit here and say, well,

1113
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 1: you know, those couple explosive plays, if you throw those out,

1114
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 1: you know, we kill them, right, which it's true, but

1115
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 1: at the same time they are part of the game.

1116
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 1: Of course, finding explosive plays on offense for yourself it's huge,

1117
00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:24,439
Speaker 1: and then not giving them up the other team is huge.

1118
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 1: And even though it's a very small number of plays,

1119
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:29,760
Speaker 1: like they have a huge impact on the outcome. So

1120
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:33,920
Speaker 1: I think being a little bit more careful about trying

1121
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 1: to pick and choose your risky moments would be a

1122
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 1: good coaching point for that defensive secondary. But you could

1123
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 1: just see in their eyes they were trying to put

1124
00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:46,200
Speaker 1: Baker's career in a body bag by going pick six

1125
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:49,960
Speaker 1: on him on in those situations. And while you give

1126
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 1: them credit for trying to go for the jugular, you've

1127
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:55,439
Speaker 1: gotta be a little smarter about the situation too. Joe

1128
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:57,560
Speaker 1: want to ask you about the offensive line, um and

1129
00:58:57,640 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 1: kind of the offensive plan in general. We we touch

1130
00:58:59,880 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 1: on at last weeks. He was quick to point out

1131
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:03,520
Speaker 1: that I thought we'd run a lot at those defensive ends.

1132
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:07,200
Speaker 1: We did with great success. Dot Hudson was really really good,

1133
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 1: um in the way that he played. What What did

1134
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:11,840
Speaker 1: you make of of what we did up front? Etan

1135
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 1: postic By the way first started center. I thought he

1136
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:15,960
Speaker 1: pointed himself very well, But I'm no expert. You are

1137
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 1: what you see well. First of all, I want to

1138
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 1: highlight James Sutson. I thought he was probably one of

1139
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 1: the guys most improved in training camp and carried over

1140
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 1: the game. You always wonder what they're gonna look like

1141
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:30,880
Speaker 1: in a full game setting, with a full game plan,

1142
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 1: a lot more to think about going against premire talent,

1143
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 1: and I thought he held himself up really, really well.

1144
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:39,000
Speaker 1: I sent him a text right after the game, um

1145
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 1: that I was really proud of the way he played

1146
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:44,720
Speaker 1: and the growth that he made. Because when you struggle

1147
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:46,720
Speaker 1: a little bit as a rookie, especially if you have

1148
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:48,400
Speaker 1: to go in there and you weren't really ready, and

1149
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:51,320
Speaker 1: James the guy hasn't played the position very long, it

1150
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 1: can be easy to kind of lose that confidence. And

1151
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 1: it's not as bad as quarterback if you was confidence

1152
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 1: as a quarterback gets hard every back, but as alignment,

1153
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 1: huff to get that back. Um, if you don't play

1154
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 1: well and you you're out there for quite a few Sundays.

1155
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:08,560
Speaker 1: So for James to be able to go out and

1156
01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 1: play as well as he did, I was really proud

1157
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 1: of him. And I think that is part of the

1158
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:15,520
Speaker 1: reason why we're seeing the Browns take their time putting

1159
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 1: Jack Conson back out there. I mean, he's been practicing,

1160
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 1: and I think they would maybe rush him into service

1161
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 1: a little quicker had James Hudson not been so ready.

1162
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:25,360
Speaker 1: To perform as well as he did. But overall, I

1163
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 1: thought they offensive line played really well. I mean a

1164
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:30,760
Speaker 1: ton of time for Jacoby Brissette nearly the entire game.

1165
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 1: Obviously you're rushing for over two h yards, so you're

1166
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 1: doing a great job. You know. As much as Stefanski's

1167
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 1: background is zone blocking, they're doing way more of the

1168
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:45,480
Speaker 1: pin poll type stuff because that's what they do really well,

1169
01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 1: you know. And and I think Jed being new newer

1170
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:52,840
Speaker 1: to that and um James being newer to the pin

1171
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 1: poll stuff, they've obviously picked it up really well. And

1172
01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:58,880
Speaker 1: you see those guys lead blocking a ton on that stuff. So, um,

1173
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 1: offensive line, I mean hard to say anything but an

1174
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 1: A for a grade. And I think you go back

1175
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 1: and you put on the coach's tape of the Kareem

1176
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:09,720
Speaker 1: Hunt touchdown. I think the Chief, Hudson and Wyatt Teller,

1177
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 1: the three of them, that was like flawless. It was perfection,

1178
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:16,160
Speaker 1: and he was able to go untouched, unfettered into the

1179
01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:18,080
Speaker 1: end zone. I thought it was very encouraging the way

1180
01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:20,480
Speaker 1: the offensive line played. And then we'll end with this

1181
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 1: one here before I know, we got to get to

1182
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 1: a break. Myles Garrett, Oh my goodness. I mean, highest

1183
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:28,880
Speaker 1: graded player of the week at at Pro Football Focus.

1184
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:30,640
Speaker 1: But you don't need grades to you just need to

1185
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 1: have functioning eyesight to see that he is as dominant

1186
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 1: as anybody in the league. There's no doubt. It was funny.

1187
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:43,320
Speaker 1: I did the pregame with and somebody you know we're

1188
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:47,280
Speaker 1: talking about We were talking about keys of the game

1189
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:49,600
Speaker 1: and where I'm gonna be watching, and I think was

1190
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:54,760
Speaker 1: important and it kind of turned out to be towards

1191
01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:57,960
Speaker 1: the second half. For whatever reason, Ben McAdoo forgot he's

1192
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:00,840
Speaker 1: got one of the most explosive playmaker is in the backfield,

1193
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 1: and Christian McCaffrey didn't really use them at all in

1194
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 1: the first half, started using the second half, started open

1195
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:10,120
Speaker 1: up things for his offense. But um, somebody said something

1196
01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 1: on that pregame show about Myles Garret versus rookie, and

1197
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:15,560
Speaker 1: I just started laughing because I really had nothing to

1198
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:18,640
Speaker 1: say because after what we talked about on Friday when

1199
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 1: we had Chase in there, and um, you guys were

1200
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:25,280
Speaker 1: talking with me about like the things that Ikey Kwanu,

1201
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:28,760
Speaker 1: left tackle los a rookie doesn't do well are the

1202
01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:32,240
Speaker 1: things that Miles does the best so this is really

1203
01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 1: beyond the worst matchup then you could possibly imagine, and

1204
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 1: it turned out to be completely true. Like Ikey, I

1205
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:41,200
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be a good player, but he's got

1206
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:43,560
Speaker 1: a lot to learn. Like he takes pass sets and

1207
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:46,320
Speaker 1: he opens his shoulders really quickly. He leans heavily on

1208
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:48,440
Speaker 1: his left arm, which is bad because if you get

1209
01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 1: that knocked down, now you're leaning forward and you're not

1210
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:53,920
Speaker 1: deep like you should be because you've already opened your

1211
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:56,200
Speaker 1: shoulders and you haven't given yourself a chance to really

1212
01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:58,320
Speaker 1: kick back off the line of scrimmage. And what does

1213
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:01,760
Speaker 1: Miles do best? He gets off the ball, he bends

1214
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:04,360
Speaker 1: really low and he runs on the corner and he

1215
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:08,280
Speaker 1: bens like this is the worst possible matchup in the

1216
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:12,160
Speaker 1: history of football. And what happened, Like, honestly, I cannot

1217
01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:14,320
Speaker 1: think of one time where I saw one on one

1218
01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:19,280
Speaker 1: where Miles didn't run by him completely, almost nearly Scott three. Like,

1219
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 1: there were several times where Ikey didn't even get a

1220
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 1: hand on Miles. It was like he closed his eyes

1221
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:29,760
Speaker 1: to punch Miles, and Miles dipped, duct dodged, and all

1222
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:32,720
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Ikey opened his eyes and he wasn't

1223
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:35,800
Speaker 1: there and he was sacking his quarterback. It was one

1224
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys saw the one time

1225
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:40,600
Speaker 1: uh Miles got into the backfield so fast and so clean.

1226
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 1: He actually went in front of where Baker was, which

1227
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:46,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever seen before. Usually you're

1228
01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:49,040
Speaker 1: missing the stack in the quarterback stepping up like he

1229
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:51,960
Speaker 1: turned the corner so fast it was actually in front

1230
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 1: of where Baker was. It. I think he was surprised

1231
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:57,000
Speaker 1: or he would have had the stack. I do remember

1232
01:03:57,040 --> 01:04:00,400
Speaker 1: that play was that was that that dominant? All right,

1233
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:02,959
Speaker 1: just just getting started here with theF coming up next,

1234
01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:05,200

Speaker 1: case review. Elkin. Elk is a proud partner of your

1241
01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:59,560
Speaker 1: Cleveland Brown's. Time for a Victory Monday game balls to

1242
01:04:59,640 --> 01:05:02,040
Speaker 1: be hand ended out. Let's start on the offensive side

1243
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:03,920
Speaker 1: of the ball, and let's start with the half. Who

1244
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:07,880
Speaker 1: you got chopped? Who you got buddy? Yeah, I'm gonna

1245
01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:10,800
Speaker 1: go ahead and follow back up with James Sutson. I

1246
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:13,920
Speaker 1: thought he played really good football. There was obviously question

1247
01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:16,440
Speaker 1: marks going in the game if Jack Conkling could play,

1248
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:20,280
Speaker 1: and I thought he did an outstanding job and could

1249
01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:23,360
Speaker 1: be a huge part of this offense moving forward because

1250
01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:24,680
Speaker 1: we know what the injuries are part of the game

1251
01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:27,440
Speaker 1: on the offensive line, and to have an offensive tackle

1252
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:29,440
Speaker 1: to be able to step in there and play as

1253
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:31,720
Speaker 1: well as he did, I think it's huge for this

1254
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:36,840
Speaker 1: offense moving forward. I'm gonna give it to Donovan People's Jones.

1255
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:39,400
Speaker 1: I think that his back to back catches on that

1256
01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 1: drive when we needed a spark on offense that led

1257
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:44,880
Speaker 1: directly to our first score. You know, he makes the

1258
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:47,480
Speaker 1: big catch on the drive, the biggest gain on that

1259
01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:49,720
Speaker 1: last drive to set up the field goal. He was

1260
01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:52,920
Speaker 1: just money and whenever you needed a ball, you went

1261
01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:54,760
Speaker 1: to Donovan People's Jones, and it didn't matter if a

1262
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 1: guy was on his back, he caught the ball. And

1263
01:05:57,080 --> 01:05:59,680
Speaker 1: so I thought that he was just so important to

1264
01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:02,720
Speaker 1: we did and look, Chubb and Hunt are the obvious

1265
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:05,640
Speaker 1: answers here, right, so we're going beyond them, I think.

1266
01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:07,560
Speaker 1: And if, by the way, there's nothing wrong with saying

1267
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 1: Chubb and Hunt are the guys who get it. But

1268
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:11,640
Speaker 1: I'm trying to look a little bit beyond that. So

1269
01:06:11,640 --> 01:06:14,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Donovan People's jones. They're the correct

1270
01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:16,880
Speaker 1: answer Chubb and Hunt. Thirty eight carries over two hred

1271
01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 1: yards of total offense um. It's interesting though, and uh,

1272
01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:23,480
Speaker 1: we talked about this earlier when we talked about a

1273
01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:25,400
Speaker 1: lot last season. I'm pretty sure talked about it with you.

1274
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:27,960
Speaker 1: I don't know that people understood last year how much

1275
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:31,400
Speaker 1: you missed Kareem Hunt, not just as a counter to Nick,

1276
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:34,960
Speaker 1: but also as an emotional piston for the team. When

1277
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:37,000
Speaker 1: he scores a touchdown, he throws the ball a hundred

1278
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,080
Speaker 1: miles an hour, you know, at the standard or at

1279
01:06:39,080 --> 01:06:40,960
Speaker 1: the back of the end zone, like there's a juice

1280
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:43,800
Speaker 1: that comes with that. He is just an emotional center

1281
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:46,080
Speaker 1: I think for this team. And and he I mean

1282
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:48,240
Speaker 1: the numbers. If you look at the numbers, you're like, okay,

1283
01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:51,440
Speaker 1: that's fine. Eleven catches forty six yards um through the

1284
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:53,720
Speaker 1: area in a touchdown through the air would Cream end

1285
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:55,640
Speaker 1: up with He was four for twenty four. So you

1286
01:06:55,720 --> 01:06:57,400
Speaker 1: look at it, you're like, well, it's not If you

1287
01:06:57,480 --> 01:06:59,200
Speaker 1: just looked at you don't watch a game, you go, okay,

1288
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:01,480
Speaker 1: so what what's a big But if you watch the game,

1289
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:07,120
Speaker 1: oh man, it's critical touchdown run still seventy total yards

1290
01:07:07,120 --> 01:07:10,440
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns on touches And but I mean, if

1291
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:12,160
Speaker 1: you didn't watch the game and you just saw that, like,

1292
01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:14,400
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? Like, But if you watch

1293
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:16,920
Speaker 1: it and you see what he brings, it's just obvious

1294
01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:20,720
Speaker 1: how how important he is. Um alright, one player on defense?

1295
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:24,520
Speaker 1: Who do you got for your game? Ball? On defense? Well,

1296
01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:27,680
Speaker 1: I went away from the obvious answer on offense. On defense,

1297
01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:29,439
Speaker 1: Ive gotta give it to Miles Garrett. Right. We knew

1298
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:32,560
Speaker 1: this game meant a lot to him, with the comments

1299
01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:35,160
Speaker 1: that he made going into the game about maybe the

1300
01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:38,520
Speaker 1: relationship had fractured a little bit with him and Baker. Um.

1301
01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:42,000
Speaker 1: He's sort of stated already this season that defensive Player

1302
01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:44,560
Speaker 1: of the Year is his goal, and he certainly did

1303
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:46,920
Speaker 1: a great job on the way to that goal with

1304
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:50,120
Speaker 1: a couple of sacks, a bunch of hits. Uh He

1305
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:54,120
Speaker 1: totally removed the heart and soul of the rookie left tackle.

1306
01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:57,160
Speaker 1: Who's going to need some therapy after what Miles to

1307
01:07:57,240 --> 01:08:01,320
Speaker 1: do him this past weekend. Um And he was outstanding

1308
01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:05,320
Speaker 1: and beyond and a huge part of Baker not being

1309
01:08:05,360 --> 01:08:08,880
Speaker 1: able to get into rhythm in that first half, UM

1310
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:12,240
Speaker 1: and in the whole game really in the second half,

1311
01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:15,280
Speaker 1: he was a critical part being able to put pressure

1312
01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:18,439
Speaker 1: consistently on the quarterback and UM give those guys in

1313
01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:21,639
Speaker 1: the secondary and opportunity to be really extra tighten coverage.

1314
01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:26,559
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with his running buddy, Jadevian Clowney. Half

1315
01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:30,400
Speaker 1: of a sack in the game, he had uh a

1316
01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:33,200
Speaker 1: quarterback hit, he had two passes batted down at the

1317
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:34,960
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. I thought he was everywhere in the

1318
01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:37,080
Speaker 1: run game. His ability to just kind of fly around

1319
01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:40,480
Speaker 1: and make tackles. I thought that Jadevian Clowney was exactly

1320
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:42,760
Speaker 1: who the Browns wanted him to be when they brought

1321
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:44,360
Speaker 1: him back this year. We all thought that was a

1322
01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 1: key to this defense. I thought he showed that in

1323
01:08:47,160 --> 01:08:50,559
Speaker 1: this game in spades. Yeah, I'll tell you those are

1324
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:53,320
Speaker 1: the obvious ones very clearly on what do that Anthony

1325
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:55,599
Speaker 1: Walker Jr. Was really good in this game. I thought

1326
01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:58,960
Speaker 1: I didn't hear Denzel Ward's name said once. Did they

1327
01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:02,000
Speaker 1: throw at him? Not? Ever, he did have that one

1328
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:04,200
Speaker 1: pass break and when Baker kind of floated one and

1329
01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:06,280
Speaker 1: he was able to get a past defense done, I didn't.

1330
01:09:06,640 --> 01:09:08,400
Speaker 1: That's it. I mean, it was next to nothing for

1331
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:10,559
Speaker 1: for Denzil award in this game, and that that usually

1332
01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:12,679
Speaker 1: meets you doing a pretty good job as a defensive

1333
01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:14,960
Speaker 1: back when that happens. Um, can we just give a

1334
01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:17,519
Speaker 1: collective Can we give all of the balls to kde

1335
01:09:17,560 --> 01:09:19,599
Speaker 1: York on the wild card? Yeah? I mean it's yeah,

1336
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:23,679
Speaker 1: it's like he gets all the balls right off. Yeah? Absolutely, yeah,

1337
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:25,600
Speaker 1: really really, I mean who else you're gonna give it to?

1338
01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:29,880
Speaker 1: Plus it Like, the guy was so outrageously deserving in

1339
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:34,960
Speaker 1: his first game winning it for the Browns and the city. Like, absolutely,

1340
01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:36,439
Speaker 1: give him all the game balls, give him all the

1341
01:09:36,479 --> 01:09:39,240
Speaker 1: gold bars. I mean, like, get a wheelbarrow, put a

1342
01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:41,080
Speaker 1: bunch of balls in it and give him to cade York.

1343
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:43,479
Speaker 1: That's what you do. He's the king of I mean

1344
01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:47,240
Speaker 1: to make that kick with the weight of your team,

1345
01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:49,320
Speaker 1: with the weight of a franchise, the weight of a

1346
01:09:49,479 --> 01:09:51,080
Speaker 1: city and as we went, we to the world see

1347
01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:54,719
Speaker 1: the way the world. Basically we all know how different

1348
01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:57,960
Speaker 1: this would be, that flight would be, how practice everything

1349
01:09:58,000 --> 01:09:59,720
Speaker 1: would have been had he not made that. And he

1350
01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:01,800
Speaker 1: go and makes the that's the it's not a thirty

1351
01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:06,840
Speaker 1: eight yarder? Can we like sometimes I think, oh yeah,

1352
01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:08,800
Speaker 1: if he had missed it, it's a fifty eight yard

1353
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:10,320
Speaker 1: or the idea that you're gonna go, oh yeah, go

1354
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:12,599
Speaker 1: make a fifty eight yard or to win it what

1355
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:16,559
Speaker 1: it is, It is the longest kick a rookie has

1356
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:19,600
Speaker 1: ever made in his first game of a season, in

1357
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:21,439
Speaker 1: the first game of the team's first game in the season.

1358
01:10:21,479 --> 01:10:25,679
Speaker 1: Fifty eight yards. It was. It was absolutely Joe Nathan

1359
01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:27,280
Speaker 1: I talked about this early and we talked about it

1360
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:29,879
Speaker 1: yesterday when he landed. We had a little phone conversation

1361
01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:33,800
Speaker 1: about it. How about the one he made before when

1362
01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:37,280
Speaker 1: they stand in in like ready to kick formation for

1363
01:10:37,320 --> 01:10:41,160
Speaker 1: twenty seconds and he nailed that one. That was that

1364
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:43,760
Speaker 1: blew my mind, Like you never stand over a putt

1365
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:47,719
Speaker 1: let alone standing over a kick like that for that long. Yeah,

1366
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:50,719
Speaker 1: that one made me nervous. And I was a mistake

1367
01:10:51,160 --> 01:10:53,880
Speaker 1: by the coaching staff because usually in those situations where

1368
01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:55,680
Speaker 1: you're trying to eat up the clock. That's what they're doing, right.

1369
01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:57,880
Speaker 1: You don't want to snap it with fifteen seconds on

1370
01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:00,280
Speaker 1: the shot clock because then you're giving the other team

1371
01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:02,639
Speaker 1: playing time with the ball, so you want to waste

1372
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:05,040
Speaker 1: that time. But you haven't timed up, so you know,

1373
01:11:05,120 --> 01:11:08,200
Speaker 1: like all right. Usually there's twelve seconds between when the

1374
01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:11,840
Speaker 1: snapper starts getting ready and when everybody's finally set and

1375
01:11:11,880 --> 01:11:13,840
Speaker 1: we snapped the ball, so you kind of play it

1376
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:16,519
Speaker 1: out like all right. Then that means when there's fifteen

1377
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:18,760
Speaker 1: seconds left, I'll start getting up on the ball. But

1378
01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:21,240
Speaker 1: it was almost like they went with their normal operation

1379
01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:24,320
Speaker 1: and then as they were getting lined up, somebody said, wait, wait,

1380
01:11:24,320 --> 01:11:27,439
Speaker 1: we gotta eat up this clock. And so they're just

1381
01:11:27,479 --> 01:11:29,360
Speaker 1: sitting there and I'm thinking to myself, can you imagine

1382
01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:31,799
Speaker 1: what's going through their head? Have you ever just truly

1383
01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:34,639
Speaker 1: laid there or sat there in a chair and tried

1384
01:11:34,680 --> 01:11:41,960
Speaker 1: to think about nothing so quickly to other things like

1385
01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:45,400
Speaker 1: that's the secret of meditation, and why it's so difficult

1386
01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:48,080
Speaker 1: hard time thinking about nothing. It's like, just try it today.

1387
01:11:48,080 --> 01:11:50,720
Speaker 1: Everybody that's listening, the millions of people back home try

1388
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:52,760
Speaker 1: to take a minute and think about nothing, it is

1389
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:55,479
Speaker 1: almost impossible. And so if you're a long snapper thinking

1390
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:58,599
Speaker 1: about one of the most important plays of the day

1391
01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:01,519
Speaker 1: and you're sitting there with your your head between your legs,

1392
01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:04,479
Speaker 1: you're thinking about all the things you shouldn't be thinking of,

1393
01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:07,599
Speaker 1: which is don't screw this up. And if you're the kicker,

1394
01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:10,200
Speaker 1: you're thinking, why does this thing coming? Don't screw this up?

1395
01:12:10,479 --> 01:12:12,559
Speaker 1: And like like you said, you're standing over put, all

1396
01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:14,960
Speaker 1: you're thinking of is don't miss this. And those are

1397
01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:17,400
Speaker 1: exactly the opposite things your brain should be thinking about.

1398
01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:20,439
Speaker 1: So for them to act like it was completely normal

1399
01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:23,400
Speaker 1: and kick it after sitting there for like twenty some seconds,

1400
01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:26,600
Speaker 1: I think even months when that he said something about

1401
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:30,400
Speaker 1: um was impressive to me. And I guess they're unflappable.

1402
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:33,000
Speaker 1: That's maybe the word of the day for special teams.

1403
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:38,880
Speaker 1: Triumviran there like, I wonder the only thing I can

1404
01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:41,479
Speaker 1: think of, and I'll I'm gonna go ask her because

1405
01:12:41,479 --> 01:12:45,559
Speaker 1: I'm curious about this, and so we'll answer. It was.

1406
01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:49,000
Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, it was fourth and four, and

1407
01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:50,600
Speaker 1: maybe they just thought, like, there's no way they're going

1408
01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:53,000
Speaker 1: to stand there that long and maybe somebody on somebody

1409
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:55,320
Speaker 1: Carolina flinches and you're trying to steal a first down.

1410
01:12:56,960 --> 01:12:59,360
Speaker 1: It's either that or they broke the huddle too early

1411
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:02,400
Speaker 1: and got lined up when oh no, we have twenty

1412
01:13:02,479 --> 01:13:10,840
Speaker 1: some seconds here. We've got to hold tight. I was

1413
01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:13,240
Speaker 1: gonna say, I like your thoughts. You know, fourth and four,

1414
01:13:13,320 --> 01:13:16,000
Speaker 1: try to drop off side. Um. But if that's the case,

1415
01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:18,920
Speaker 1: usually you'll give a couple of dummy cadences and you'll

1416
01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:21,880
Speaker 1: see the holder like give his hand open where he

1417
01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:24,040
Speaker 1: kind of like throws his hands out there like he

1418
01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:25,920
Speaker 1: wants the ball, and they didn't know that. They just

1419
01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:28,599
Speaker 1: stood there like statues for like twenty seconds. It was amazing.

1420
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:33,200
Speaker 1: It really was an amazing week one in the NFL.

1421
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:35,760
Speaker 1: Will go over some of it. Coming up next to

1422

1427
01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:12,640
Speaker 1: Handmade Vodka and in an NFL that provided what yesterday provided.

1428
01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:15,280
Speaker 1: Let's not ever lose sight of how important it is

1429
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:18,640
Speaker 1: to actually win on an NFL Sunday. Because there was

1430
01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:20,560
Speaker 1: so much going on yesterday. I could lead you in

1431
01:14:20,600 --> 01:14:22,840
Speaker 1: any number of ways, but what jumped out to you

1432
01:14:22,920 --> 01:14:27,760
Speaker 1: in a wild week one of the NFL. Well, I

1433
01:14:27,800 --> 01:14:32,120
Speaker 1: think the job that Mitchell Trabinsky did in Pittsburgh for

1434
01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:36,200
Speaker 1: them was really impressive, going against the Bengals, who they're

1435
01:14:36,240 --> 01:14:38,240
Speaker 1: one of my favorite teams coming out of last year.

1436
01:14:38,600 --> 01:14:42,639
Speaker 1: I think their position nicely because people still aren't talking

1437
01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:44,880
Speaker 1: about them for some reason, even though they have one

1438
01:14:44,920 --> 01:14:47,639
Speaker 1: of the best known name defenses that plays really really

1439
01:14:47,680 --> 01:14:52,560
Speaker 1: good football together, like good old school, complimentary team defense,

1440
01:14:53,120 --> 01:14:56,840
Speaker 1: with a defense that flex about be able to match

1441
01:14:56,920 --> 01:15:00,360
Speaker 1: up against any scheme or type quarterback that they're playing against.

1442
01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:03,200
Speaker 1: Obviously everybody knows about Joe Burrow and those receivers, but

1443
01:15:03,800 --> 01:15:05,840
Speaker 1: for the Steelers to be able to go and win

1444
01:15:06,479 --> 01:15:11,120
Speaker 1: three to twenty with Mitchell ra Risky throwing one of

1445
01:15:11,280 --> 01:15:14,360
Speaker 1: thirty eight for a hundred and ninety four yards and

1446
01:15:14,400 --> 01:15:19,639
Speaker 1: a touchdown no interceptions, he was really really competent and

1447
01:15:19,960 --> 01:15:22,719
Speaker 1: gives me a different perspective on what this season could

1448
01:15:22,720 --> 01:15:24,799
Speaker 1: be for the Steelers. So if you had to say,

1449
01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:27,120
Speaker 1: what was the one thing outside of our game that

1450
01:15:27,160 --> 01:15:30,160
Speaker 1: really popped for you? It was seeing that Steeler score

1451
01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:31,960
Speaker 1: and then seeing them actually being able to sneak out

1452
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:35,439
Speaker 1: the victory in overtime. I mean everything that happened for

1453
01:15:35,560 --> 01:15:39,280
Speaker 1: Cincinnati in that game. Burrow had five turnovers yourself, They

1454
01:15:39,280 --> 01:15:43,200
Speaker 1: had three three field goals that went off. They had

1455
01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:45,400
Speaker 1: an injury looks like could be a season ending injury

1456
01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:48,760
Speaker 1: to their long snapper, which contributed to all of it.

1457
01:15:48,760 --> 01:15:50,840
Speaker 1: They couldn't get that operation down, and they were so

1458
01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:54,880
Speaker 1: money on those last year in the postseason, Um, how

1459
01:15:54,920 --> 01:15:56,840
Speaker 1: about us? What jumped out to you a big picture?

1460
01:15:57,400 --> 01:15:59,600
Speaker 1: Big picture was just that, you know, there were a

1461
01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:01,960
Speaker 1: lot of teams that we had talked about as being

1462
01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:05,320
Speaker 1: playoff and or Super Bowl contenders that I thought didn't

1463
01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:08,639
Speaker 1: look good. The Rams starting on Thursday night football did

1464
01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:11,760
Speaker 1: not look good. The Bengals didn't look good. The Indianapolis

1465
01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:14,360
Speaker 1: Colts rallied to tie the Texans, a team we thought

1466
01:16:14,360 --> 01:16:16,800
Speaker 1: were taking the Niners Bears game that's in the rain.

1467
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:19,479
Speaker 1: But the Niners did not look good. And there's probably

1468
01:16:19,479 --> 01:16:22,240
Speaker 1: already questions, why aren't we playing Jimmy Garoppolo, Why why

1469
01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:24,240
Speaker 1: don't we just play the guy that we know can

1470
01:16:24,280 --> 01:16:26,400
Speaker 1: get it done. Did you read Football Morning in America

1471
01:16:26,439 --> 01:16:30,559
Speaker 1: this morning about Kyle and uh and uh? John Lynch

1472
01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:32,320
Speaker 1: like he had a team meeting and said, look, you're

1473
01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:35,639
Speaker 1: gonna have to rally behind this guy, behind Lands because

1474
01:16:35,640 --> 01:16:37,280
Speaker 1: if you don't, this thing is going to go off

1475
01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:40,280
Speaker 1: the rails, all the while bringing back the one person

1476
01:16:40,280 --> 01:16:42,640
Speaker 1: who could force it off the rails. Now here's the

1477
01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:45,519
Speaker 1: thing for them though, by keeping him, I mean, and

1478
01:16:45,560 --> 01:16:47,599
Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong, But if you're the Dallas Cowboys,

1479
01:16:47,640 --> 01:16:50,960
Speaker 1: aren't you calling and getting Jimmy Garoppolo right now tomorrow? Yeah? Right,

1480
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:52,479
Speaker 1: I mean that's the only way. That's the only way

1481
01:16:52,520 --> 01:16:55,479
Speaker 1: you saved that season after and they were they were dreadful,

1482
01:16:55,479 --> 01:16:58,280
Speaker 1: and then it's now starting because I feel like there's

1483
01:16:58,280 --> 01:17:00,880
Speaker 1: a multi year trend. Does Aaron Rodger d're in Wisconsin off?

1484
01:17:00,920 --> 01:17:02,760
Speaker 1: Does he just not? Is he just not interested in

1485
01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:05,040
Speaker 1: weak ones? Like didn't they get smoked by New Orleans

1486
01:17:05,080 --> 01:17:06,280
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago and then they go on

1487
01:17:06,320 --> 01:17:07,760
Speaker 1: to be the number one seed and they just got

1488
01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:12,240
Speaker 1: smoked by Minnesota in this game? Yeah, sometimes they just

1489
01:17:12,320 --> 01:17:14,720
Speaker 1: need a good butt whipping up front. But I don't know.

1490
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:18,920
Speaker 1: To me, the Minnesota game exposed some significant flaws there

1491
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:22,760
Speaker 1: in Green Bay. Well, they really haven't had anybody to

1492
01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:26,479
Speaker 1: catch the football beside Davante Adams. Aaron Rodgers has always

1493
01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:28,800
Speaker 1: been able to make it work because with Adams, he

1494
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:32,200
Speaker 1: could put the ball exactly with pinpoint accuracy wherever he

1495
01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:34,559
Speaker 1: needed to and Davante Adams is going to catch it.

1496
01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:38,479
Speaker 1: But he had nobody at receiver that's stepped up for him.

1497
01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:43,840
Speaker 1: And when you don't have that outrageous, other worldly quarterback

1498
01:17:43,880 --> 01:17:48,360
Speaker 1: to receiver combination, UM, it just makes everybody worse. And

1499
01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:50,400
Speaker 1: I think you start to see some of the flaws

1500
01:17:50,439 --> 01:17:53,120
Speaker 1: in your team when you sit in a situation like that.

1501
01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:56,240
Speaker 1: And going against the Minnesota Vikings team room, we know

1502
01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:59,000
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell. He was in Cleveland with us. He was

1503
01:17:59,040 --> 01:18:02,000
Speaker 1: a quarterbacks coach UM for at least a year or

1504
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:04,280
Speaker 1: two when when I was there, UM, And so you

1505
01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:09,679
Speaker 1: know that they're going to get that cutting edge offensive schematics,

1506
01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:13,120
Speaker 1: that approach that attacks your defense's weakness. It makes it

1507
01:18:13,160 --> 01:18:18,000
Speaker 1: difficult on the defensive secondary elements because they don't understand

1508
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:21,240
Speaker 1: the immediate difference between run and tasks and it's creating

1509
01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:24,360
Speaker 1: separation in the secondary with that play action. UH, and

1510
01:18:24,479 --> 01:18:27,519
Speaker 1: Kirk comes the guy who's don't go along time, so

1511
01:18:27,560 --> 01:18:29,800
Speaker 1: he knows how to take advantage of defense. He's he's

1512
01:18:29,880 --> 01:18:33,559
Speaker 1: run that scheme with Kevin Kevin O'Connell previously when he

1513
01:18:33,600 --> 01:18:37,519
Speaker 1: had Shanahan and Kubiak and those guys. Um So I

1514
01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:40,240
Speaker 1: think they kind of ran into a difficult situation there

1515
01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:43,160
Speaker 1: against the Vikings. But if I'm the Packers, I'm a

1516
01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:46,760
Speaker 1: little bit nervous because there's no superheroes coming through that

1517
01:18:46,800 --> 01:18:49,160
Speaker 1: door to help play receiver. And if they don't figure

1518
01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:52,000
Speaker 1: things out how to throw the ball. I know, in

1519
01:18:52,240 --> 01:18:55,080
Speaker 1: being in Wisconsin, some of the commentary this week has

1520
01:18:55,120 --> 01:18:58,960
Speaker 1: been or today has been Aaron Jones didn't get enough handoffs,

1521
01:18:58,960 --> 01:19:02,519
Speaker 1: which I understand, but that's because you didn't have anybody

1522
01:19:02,760 --> 01:19:05,880
Speaker 1: at receiver who could catch the football. Yeah, yeah, it was.

1523
01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:08,320
Speaker 1: I mean the Christian Watson drop is absolutely crazy. Guys

1524
01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:11,080
Speaker 1: think about this too. By the way, some big injury

1525
01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:13,280
Speaker 1: stuff you mentioned the deck stuff. He's out six to eight.

1526
01:19:13,680 --> 01:19:15,960
Speaker 1: Sounds like t J. Watt isn't gonna be a season ending,

1527
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:18,600
Speaker 1: but he's gonna be out a while. Uh. In Pittsburgh,

1528
01:19:18,600 --> 01:19:21,120
Speaker 1: with the torn peck Kyle Fuller done for the season

1529
01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:23,639
Speaker 1: in Baltimore. So that happened today. We got the news

1530
01:19:23,680 --> 01:19:28,280
Speaker 1: on that. Um just to buttress the Packers point Packers

1531
01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:31,920
Speaker 1: so so Cowboys disaster with the without I don't think

1532
01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:35,160
Speaker 1: the Bucks looked good at all. Despite they win. Arizona

1533
01:19:35,160 --> 01:19:39,200
Speaker 1: looks like garbage. Um, the Rams didn't look good. Who's

1534
01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:41,200
Speaker 1: by the way, Philly almost gave it up to Detroit?

1535
01:19:41,600 --> 01:19:49,120
Speaker 1: Who's good in the NFCF. Who's good? Can I say that?

1536
01:19:49,920 --> 01:19:52,479
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, that's a great question because

1537
01:19:52,520 --> 01:19:55,000
Speaker 1: the teams that you thought, who potentially we're going to

1538
01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:59,120
Speaker 1: be really good, like good Rams? They lost thirty one

1539
01:19:59,160 --> 01:20:02,200
Speaker 1: to ten. Buccaneers. Yeah, they beat the Cowboys, but I

1540
01:20:02,240 --> 01:20:04,680
Speaker 1: think this is the year the Cowboys just kind of

1541
01:20:05,400 --> 01:20:09,559
Speaker 1: especially now that they lost dak Um. All of a sudden,

1542
01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:13,480
Speaker 1: you're starting to think, like can the Giants be okay?

1543
01:20:13,479 --> 01:20:17,280
Speaker 1: Like can can the Eagles be decent? Like You're starting

1544
01:20:17,320 --> 01:20:21,680
Speaker 1: to go down the list of NFC teams and you're going, wow,

1545
01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:23,760
Speaker 1: has it ever been this bad? Where the a f

1546
01:20:23,840 --> 01:20:27,240
Speaker 1: C is just so much more talented and has so

1547
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:33,519
Speaker 1: many more good teams than the NFC. It's wild. And

1548
01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:35,840
Speaker 1: by the way, when Denver beats Seattle tonight, which they

1549
01:20:35,880 --> 01:20:38,680
Speaker 1: will do, the NFC West is going to go oh

1550
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:41,400
Speaker 1: for week one. The a f C South has gone

1551
01:20:41,400 --> 01:20:45,800
Speaker 1: oh for Week one with a tie. I mean, it's

1552
01:20:45,800 --> 01:20:49,000
Speaker 1: wild until your point. The NFC whipped, whipped, whipped in,

1553
01:20:49,040 --> 01:20:52,880
Speaker 1: the NFC West whipped in all of those games. Here's

1554
01:20:52,880 --> 01:20:56,240
Speaker 1: the thing that's that's interesting. Now. You would have said, Okay,

1555
01:20:56,320 --> 01:20:58,439
Speaker 1: they're playing a team that's tanking, there's no way that

1556
01:20:58,479 --> 01:21:02,040
Speaker 1: they should lose. But New Orleans coming back on the road,

1557
01:21:02,280 --> 01:21:04,880
Speaker 1: Jamie is having to throw them back and being able

1558
01:21:04,920 --> 01:21:08,400
Speaker 1: to do so. They're gonna get their defense together. I

1559
01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:10,760
Speaker 1: think New Orleans is going to be a pretty good team.

1560
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:13,040
Speaker 1: I think they'll be valedictorian a summer school. That's what

1561
01:21:13,040 --> 01:21:14,439
Speaker 1: it feels out to me. But that's what we're talking

1562
01:21:14,479 --> 01:21:16,680
Speaker 1: about in that conference right now. That's what we're that's

1563
01:21:16,720 --> 01:21:19,439
Speaker 1: where we're at. Yeah, I think that's it. I you know,

1564
01:21:19,920 --> 01:21:21,519
Speaker 1: you still feel I don't, you don't want to. It's

1565
01:21:21,560 --> 01:21:23,320
Speaker 1: one week. Like I'm sure the Packles will get it

1566
01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:25,599
Speaker 1: sorted out. I'm sure the Bucks will get better. Um

1567
01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:27,360
Speaker 1: the Rams, I think their problems could be a little

1568
01:21:27,360 --> 01:21:30,240
Speaker 1: more finite and think they're big problems with Arizona huge,

1569
01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:32,240
Speaker 1: Like if anybody thought they were gonna make any step,

1570
01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:35,639
Speaker 1: I don't see that happen. Minnesota could be very interesting,

1571
01:21:34,800 --> 01:21:38,000
Speaker 1: and I like the fight out of the Lions, but

1572
01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:40,840
Speaker 1: the NFC, the NFC East, I don't see it. And

1573
01:21:40,880 --> 01:21:43,920
Speaker 1: then the South if it's Bucks Saints, that Carolina team

1574
01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:47,320
Speaker 1: wasn't much. So yeah, it's just it's a I've never

1575
01:21:47,479 --> 01:21:49,479
Speaker 1: I don't think we've ever seen the difference, and even

1576
01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:50,960
Speaker 1: some of the other teams in the a f C

1577
01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:57,679
Speaker 1: half I mean Miami, I mean New England is hot, garbage, garbage, trash.

1578
01:21:58,160 --> 01:22:00,920
Speaker 1: It's it's stunning to watch. Belichick has presided over this.

1579
01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:05,320
Speaker 1: He's one more than anybody's. Their roster is no good,

1580
01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:08,439
Speaker 1: then it's not it's that simple. Miami whipped him in

1581
01:22:08,479 --> 01:22:12,720
Speaker 1: the game on Sunday. Guys. I've been saying this for

1582
01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:15,439
Speaker 1: a long time. Bill Belichick is the greatest coach of

1583
01:22:15,520 --> 01:22:19,040
Speaker 1: all time, and it's not even close. But the difference

1584
01:22:19,080 --> 01:22:22,160
Speaker 1: that he gives his team over let's say the second

1585
01:22:22,160 --> 01:22:25,200
Speaker 1: best coach in the NFL is so much smaller that

1586
01:22:25,400 --> 01:22:28,320
Speaker 1: people have realized through all the because they had Tom

1587
01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:31,320
Speaker 1: Brady at quarterback. When you have great quarterback play, it

1588
01:22:31,600 --> 01:22:35,679
Speaker 1: raises mistakes up and down the roster, and for years

1589
01:22:35,680 --> 01:22:39,519
Speaker 1: and years Belichick has put the priority on I want

1590
01:22:39,560 --> 01:22:42,559
Speaker 1: guys that love football over I want guys that have talent.

1591
01:22:42,920 --> 01:22:45,240
Speaker 1: Which is great when you have Tom Brady at quarterback

1592
01:22:45,280 --> 01:22:47,720
Speaker 1: and you can get everybody else to buy in. You're

1593
01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:49,840
Speaker 1: giving him the best game plan to win every week.

1594
01:22:50,040 --> 01:22:52,519
Speaker 1: You got the best process to get those guys to

1595
01:22:52,600 --> 01:22:55,400
Speaker 1: learn it. But in the end, if you don't have

1596
01:22:55,479 --> 01:22:58,360
Speaker 1: that quarterback play, you don't have the talent. If you're

1597
01:22:58,400 --> 01:23:01,519
Speaker 1: drafting like to try are smart guys all the time

1598
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:05,160
Speaker 1: to be able to compete with teams, then I'm worried.

1599
01:23:05,280 --> 01:23:07,320
Speaker 1: I know Mac Jones went out with a back injury.

1600
01:23:07,360 --> 01:23:09,360
Speaker 1: If I was a Patriots fan, I would be really

1601
01:23:09,400 --> 01:23:13,080
Speaker 1: nervous because whether Mac or whether Mack Jones is playing

1602
01:23:13,479 --> 01:23:16,960
Speaker 1: or not, like, this team just doesn't have the talent

1603
01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:20,519
Speaker 1: to keep up weekend and week out. They don't and

1604
01:23:20,560 --> 01:23:24,280
Speaker 1: they don't have anybody that scares you nowhere on and

1605
01:23:24,360 --> 01:23:28,160
Speaker 1: really defensively either, it's nothing. No, you know, Judon is

1606
01:23:28,200 --> 01:23:31,000
Speaker 1: a very good player, but that's that's probably their best guy.

1607
01:23:31,080 --> 01:23:34,280
Speaker 1: It's just a different. It's a whole different scenario. Then

1608
01:23:34,360 --> 01:23:35,720
Speaker 1: you see it around the league and you know, it's

1609
01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:38,080
Speaker 1: interesting to me. And somebody made this point. I can't

1610
01:23:38,080 --> 01:23:41,080
Speaker 1: remember who I saw right this, but it resonated with me.

1611
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:44,439
Speaker 1: We're like all receivers are like commodities. Now there's more

1612
01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:47,280
Speaker 1: receivers coming in the league than ever, colleges are preparing them,

1613
01:23:47,439 --> 01:23:50,599
Speaker 1: and then there are just teams that have nobody. There

1614
01:23:50,600 --> 01:23:53,320
Speaker 1: are a lot of teams nobody a wide receiver in

1615
01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:55,080
Speaker 1: the NFL, and so that has to be in some

1616
01:23:55,200 --> 01:23:57,800
Speaker 1: level of choice. Yeah, I think it's I agree with you.

1617
01:23:58,080 --> 01:24:01,080
Speaker 1: And then you see, like Justin Jefferson and Jamaar Chase

1618
01:24:01,200 --> 01:24:02,760
Speaker 1: and those type of guys what they're doing on a

1619
01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:06,639
Speaker 1: weekly basi, it under sells and undercuts they're they're absurd

1620
01:24:06,640 --> 01:24:09,800
Speaker 1: talent because there it's not as easy. I mean, Belichick's tried,

1621
01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:11,479
Speaker 1: He's left a ton of them. They just none of

1622
01:24:11,479 --> 01:24:14,760
Speaker 1: them hit um. All right, half as as we Uh,

1623
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:17,639
Speaker 1: you got a big week here, Bud, this home opener,

1624

1654
01:25:40,720 --> 01:25:43,040
Speaker 1: the great Joe Thomas, the Joe Thomas Hour of Cleveland

1655
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:46,120
Speaker 1: Brown's Daily. You know, we we kind of stumbled into

1656
01:25:46,160 --> 01:25:49,920
Speaker 1: that NFC topic. There's there isn't anybody who looked lights

1657
01:25:49,920 --> 01:25:52,439
Speaker 1: out in the NFC. No nobody. And how about the

1658
01:25:52,439 --> 01:25:54,920
Speaker 1: fact that we had half this is the half first

1659
01:25:54,960 --> 01:25:58,560
Speaker 1: victory Monday of his Brown's career after a week one.

1660
01:25:59,320 --> 01:26:04,400
Speaker 1: It's true. It is true. Yeah, yeah it is. It's outrageous, yeah,

1661
01:26:04,600 --> 01:26:06,800
Speaker 1: but true. Yeah. The tone would have been very, very

1662
01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:08,519
Speaker 1: different the other way, thinking we didn't have to come

1663
01:26:08,560 --> 01:26:10,960
Speaker 1: out of Yeah. I would have been like off, but

1664
01:26:11,120 --> 01:26:13,800
Speaker 1: he said to hell with it too. I could have

1665
01:26:14,160 --> 01:26:16,479
Speaker 1: been and then give a probably would have and then

1666
01:26:16,479 --> 01:26:17,680
Speaker 1: this would have been a case where he's like, I

1667

1682
01:27:25,600 --> 01:27:29,760

1684
01:27:34,920 --> 01:27:36,920
Speaker 1: still gonna watch it. I'm just saying it feels like

1685
01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:41,200
Speaker 1: they're this whole thing feels like a preamble and maybe

1686
01:27:41,240 --> 01:27:43,559
Speaker 1: we're just but then they're skipping stuff that like they

1687
01:27:43,600 --> 01:27:45,559
Speaker 1: skipped three years and then all of a sudden, what

1688
01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:49,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna spend forty minutes around the circus district. All right,

1689
01:27:49,720 --> 01:27:51,720
Speaker 1: let me tell you this. Yeah, I don't need the

1690
01:27:51,760 --> 01:27:54,519
Speaker 1: girl to be replaced by another actress. You're not gonna

1691
01:27:54,560 --> 01:27:57,679
Speaker 1: like that because I think she's got great. Well, it's

1692
01:27:57,680 --> 01:28:00,920
Speaker 1: happening too late. Probably soon. I would think by the

1693
01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:03,439
Speaker 1: episode five or six she's done. That's it. Which is that?

1694
01:28:03,520 --> 01:28:06,720
Speaker 1: Because I think she's tremendous. I think finally got to

1695
01:28:06,760 --> 01:28:09,120
Speaker 1: see her cook a little bit yesterday, like more than

1696
01:28:09,160 --> 01:28:12,439
Speaker 1: one emotion. Yeah, yeah, all right, we have Monday night

1697
01:28:12,479 --> 01:28:18,320
Speaker 1: football tonight, Broncos Gibb. Are you doing this? Where are you?

1698
01:28:19,600 --> 01:28:22,080
Speaker 1: I am doing it? I was bringing up, I was updating,

1699
01:28:23,880 --> 01:28:27,439
Speaker 1: nothing's changed. Was double checking the score. So the score

1700
01:28:27,520 --> 01:28:29,840
Speaker 1: is as as predicted here as we put that in

1701
01:28:29,880 --> 01:28:32,200
Speaker 1: early this morning in the rundown. And this is wanting

1702
01:28:32,200 --> 01:28:34,240
Speaker 1: to make sure there was no movement because it could

1703
01:28:34,240 --> 01:28:37,759
Speaker 1: have been. So what did we so we had Baker

1704
01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:41,040
Speaker 1: against us, but it was there. Did we have another

1705
01:28:41,040 --> 01:28:43,080
Speaker 1: one of these head to head former team or is

1706
01:28:43,080 --> 01:28:45,439
Speaker 1: that the only wack? Go on? The Jets on the

1707
01:28:45,600 --> 01:28:47,680
Speaker 1: ves a little bit removed and that was covered. That

1708
01:28:47,800 --> 01:28:52,400
Speaker 1: was big time. Um, this should be weird for Russ.

1709
01:28:52,960 --> 01:28:54,519
Speaker 1: I think it's in Seattle, but I think it's going

1710
01:28:54,560 --> 01:28:58,240
Speaker 1: to be stomping stomping as well. It should be Broncos

1711
01:29:00,760 --> 01:29:03,439
Speaker 1: same Ramot. Let's go, we've already now we're playing with

1712
01:29:03,479 --> 01:29:05,559
Speaker 1: house money for this week. Let's see what we can

1713
01:29:05,600 --> 01:29:08,840
Speaker 1: bring home for the folks. Yeah, it's um. Did you

1714
01:29:08,880 --> 01:29:11,320
Speaker 1: see the comments from Pete Carroll about this like it's

1715
01:29:11,360 --> 01:29:13,559
Speaker 1: up to the twelve so they want to handle him

1716
01:29:13,600 --> 01:29:16,880
Speaker 1: like they were. They've really buried each other, they were,

1717
01:29:16,920 --> 01:29:20,320
Speaker 1: they accomplished a lot. I think the phrase no love

1718
01:29:20,400 --> 01:29:23,760
Speaker 1: lost is is wrong. I think there's been a lot

1719
01:29:23,760 --> 01:29:25,920
Speaker 1: of love lost. There was no love for a while,

1720
01:29:26,080 --> 01:29:28,120
Speaker 1: but there was at one point. At one point it's

1721
01:29:28,160 --> 01:29:30,360
Speaker 1: been lost. Yeah, because they went all in with him

1722
01:29:30,360 --> 01:29:33,439
Speaker 1: over Legion of Boom and which was the right call.

1723
01:29:34,160 --> 01:29:36,840
Speaker 1: But then I still want more details on the two

1724
01:29:37,200 --> 01:29:39,280
Speaker 1: eighteen trade that everyone's saying about. I'd love to know

1725
01:29:39,320 --> 01:29:42,280
Speaker 1: what the full details of that was. Um, but should

1726
01:29:42,280 --> 01:29:43,720
Speaker 1: be a fun one. I don't think the game will

1727
01:29:43,760 --> 01:29:45,679
Speaker 1: be great, but I'm curious to see the kick and

1728
01:29:45,880 --> 01:29:51,759
Speaker 1: the emotions behind all of that. Fully fully in tute video.

1729
01:29:52,200 --> 01:29:55,760
Speaker 1: I need a little Javante me too. I need, I need,

1730
01:29:56,360 --> 01:30:00,760
Speaker 1: I need, been all right to be wrong, Cote Jampante

1731
01:30:00,880 --> 01:30:04,000
Speaker 1: the goat they're calling them, are they? I hope they do.

1732
