1 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: Welcome to another episode of the From the Podium podcast, 2 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,039 Speaker 1: and Happy Friday everyone. I'm Gabe Killera. The Browns wrapped 3 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,319 Speaker 1: their final practice of the week today and they all 4 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: head to Cincinnati tomorrow to play the Bengals this coming Sunday. 5 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,080 Speaker 1: On this episode, you'll hear from head coach Kevin Stefanski, 6 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: running backs coach Do Staley, defensive line coach Jacques sees Air, 7 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,440 Speaker 1: and defensive end Miles Garrett. Up first as head coach 8 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski, who discussed the challenge of another AFC North 9 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: rivalry game. 10 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 2: All Right, good week of practice, good to be outside energy, juice. 11 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 2: Guys are really competing hard. So gotta go on the road, 12 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 2: play really well as a team to find a way 13 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 2: to win versus a good football team. So that's our focus. 14 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 2: But with that, I'll take any questions. 15 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 3: Either said or Martin are close to clearing the protocol. 16 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 2: They're in the appropriate place in that protocol. You know, 17 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 2: you just have to follow each step and we're hopeful 18 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 2: on both guys. 19 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,279 Speaker 4: Which said Kevin, usually a guy who's at practice for 20 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 4: two weeks or clearing a protocol, So I'm just curious 21 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 4: how that kind of works where he's allowed to practice, 22 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 4: but isn't out of the protocol. 23 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 2: I'd have to get into the ins and out of 24 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 2: that thing, which is you know, it's it's a really 25 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 2: good protocol. They do a great job communicating with us 26 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 2: which the guys can and can't do based on how 27 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 2: they're feeling and that type of thing. So we'll just 28 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 2: follow it to a t. Really. I yeah, I think 29 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 2: he's he's good, good to go. Just felt a little something, 30 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 2: but he'll be okay. 31 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 5: I know he did practice for some days, but today 32 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 5: that hamstring is I mean, I imagine something that was 33 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 5: right up till the game time. 34 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 2: He practice today, he's very motivated to play. We'll see 35 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 2: how he responds to practicing today and make the decision 36 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 2: on Sunday. 37 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 3: How he felt you are looked over this past week 38 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 3: of taking a covering. 39 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he's doing a nice job. I think 40 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 2: it's so important for young quarterbacks, young players period to 41 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 2: get better at every single day of the week. I 42 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 2: think what happens on Wednesday when you get handed a 43 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 2: game plan, it feels like you're drinking through a fire hose. 44 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 2: There's a lot of information, and then by Friday you 45 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 2: feel really good about it. So I think there's a 46 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 2: natural progression for a quarterback, certainly a young quarterback, and 47 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 2: the goals for Sunday. He feels really good about it, 48 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 2: and I think we're trending there. 49 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 4: Speaking of Duran when he's played for you and bit sporadically, 50 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 4: but it feels like it's kind of furnetic a little 51 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 4: bit sometimes, Like do you talk to him about having 52 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 4: to calm down, whether it's you know, trying to hurdle 53 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 4: guys or fireing the ball. 54 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 6: To you know too hard. 55 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 2: Well, I think each player certainly has their own style, 56 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 2: if you will, and his style is the way he's 57 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 2: played his whole life and it's gotten him here and 58 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 2: he's had great success. Certainly, you want to do things 59 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 2: that take care of yourself in those moments, Scott, like 60 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 2: you're talking about. But he really understands how to play 61 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 2: this position and has to know when to take care 62 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 2: of himself and those type of things. But part of 63 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 2: playing free on Sundays is just knowing your job and 64 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 2: understanding your role on the team. 65 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 7: Being a little bit limited with the shoulder this week, 66 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 7: is he still. 67 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 2: Going to need a number days potentially? I want to 68 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 2: see how he feels really going through this week, didn't 69 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 2: feel great, but see how he responds the next couple days. 70 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 6: Just sore. 71 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, from previous. 72 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 8: Game, it's your fair catch for you kick. 73 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 2: Today we watched it as a team. Great job. Congratulations 74 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 2: to coach Fick and the special teams. Coach out there 75 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 2: as a good friend and they were on top of it. 76 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 2: So we definitely watched that this morning as. 77 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 8: A team you would have worked on. 78 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 2: We talk about it quite a bit. Bubba was playing 79 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 2: on the forty nine ers when they did it the 80 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 2: last time in a game, and obviously it was not 81 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 2: good because that was the first one that was good 82 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 2: last night, but it was It's something you always think 83 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 2: about on a backed up punt. That punt was the 84 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 2: punter was standing on what the ten yard line, so 85 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 2: you're not thinking about it in the moment until that 86 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 2: fifteen yard penalty kicks in and then certainly it'd be 87 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 2: with no time on the clock. It's kind of a 88 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 2: no brainer. 89 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 9: The strength of kickers legs these days, I mean, we've 90 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 9: seen kickoffs challenge the uprights. Do you think that is 91 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 9: that improves that maybe that can be something that coaches think. 92 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 2: About the I think it's so rare though, because if 93 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 2: you miss that, you know you're covering the kick. There's 94 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 2: risk involved there as well. So I don't know that 95 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 2: it's something that you'll see more of that. All those 96 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 2: variables have to be in place in a very unique situation. 97 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 7: This is expected to play this game. That's the word 98 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 7: out of Cincinnati. So you know what what does that 99 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 7: add to? 100 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 2: Yeah? Great player. We have a ton of respect for 101 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 2: this team, but certainly T Higgins is an elite player. 102 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 2: He's goes up against the ball versus every coverage, great speed. 103 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 2: As you know, they have multiple guys that you have 104 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 2: to concern yourself with. 105 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 5: Around just the the last few weeks. Just how is 106 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 5: he sort of taking on an even bigger role in 107 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 5: that offense, you know, running and catching. 108 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, another player we know, well, we know what he's 109 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 2: capable of. Can make plays like you mentioned in the 110 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 2: run game in the past, game runs hard, he's quick, elusive, 111 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 2: He's a really good player. 112 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 10: Shall we down? 113 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 8: Is that an opportunity for Mike Hall? 114 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's an opportunity for all those guys, Darryl. I 115 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 2: think certainly Mike, as he's come back and had a 116 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 2: role for us, his reps will increase. But I think 117 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 2: Shelby's played really really good football for us. So this 118 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 2: is a thing where a bunch of guys have to 119 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 2: take on a bigger role. 120 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 4: Since leading the league with sacks. What makes him so effective? 121 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 4: And how have you seen your main you know whatever? 122 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:45,799 Speaker 10: His four starts. 123 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 2: Now, sure, Hendrickson's the first thing you notice about him 124 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 2: as his motor. He just goes really really hard throughout 125 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 2: the down. You have to even if you're double teaming 126 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 2: him or a running backs over there, a tight ends 127 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 2: over there, He's just going to keep rushing so understanding 128 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 2: that you have to play through the whistle versus him. 129 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 2: And then he's got a great combination of athleticism, bend power. 130 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 2: Really he can do it all. 131 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 10: Let is go this. 132 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 7: Week on ball security and trying to win this turnover down. 133 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I wish you could speak it into existence, 134 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 2: Mary Kay, you can. I've tried. You know, It's a 135 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 2: technique thing, is so much of it, and that's what 136 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 2: we put the focus on. I think you don't say 137 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 2: to a player, hey, if a player drops the ball, 138 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 2: you don't say hey, catch the ball. You give them 139 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 2: coaching points, you tell them about their technique. So we 140 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 2: focus on the technique and just understand how important that 141 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 2: ball is to everything we're trying to do. 142 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 9: And so having arguably his best season as a pro 143 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 9: this year, you know, Jamar Chase is lighting it up. 144 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 8: So is Joe Burrow. Obviously, I know you're root for. 145 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 9: Denzel, but just as a football coach and fan, how 146 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:54,919 Speaker 9: exciting of a matchup is that? 147 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 2: Certainly two great players, you know, I think when you're 148 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 2: talking about compet Titian and this game, sometimes this game 149 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 2: does come down to one on one matchups. Now it's 150 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 2: not every play, but sometimes it's a great defensive end 151 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 2: versus a great offensive tackle, or a great wide receiver 152 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 2: versus a great dB. Those are the matchups that I 153 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 2: think are fun for our fans to watch, certainly as 154 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 2: coaches and players, but it's also within the framework of 155 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 2: the greatest team game there is. So there's certainly matchups, 156 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 2: but it's going to be about us playing really good 157 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 2: defense when facing the Bengals offense. Earlier this week that 158 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 2: I when I asked about it, if he thinks this 159 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 2: is kind of like an audition for him to be 160 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 2: the starter next year, he said, oh yeah, excited for 161 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 2: the opportunity you're going to make the most of it. 162 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 3: Is that how you guys view these last three. 163 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 10: Games with ten? 164 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm so weak to week honestly, and every player 165 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 2: should feel that way. That's the right attitude to have. 166 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 2: But I'm really concited. I don't know who we play 167 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 2: next week. We're so concerned with this one. You guys 168 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 2: have to tell me, Okay, Miami. 169 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: Is running Backs coach Douce Staley talked about losing Nick 170 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: Chubb for the rest of the year and how it 171 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: affects that running back room. 172 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,679 Speaker 11: Pointing to lose Nick to put injury. 173 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 6: Yes, it's tough. 174 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,239 Speaker 12: Just being able to watch that video and the video 175 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 12: I mean of him coming back, being able to watch 176 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 12: that movie. You know what he went through to get healthy, 177 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 12: just you know, working as hard as he could just 178 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 12: to get back to play. So it's tough to see 179 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 12: him go through that. But we all know as running backs, 180 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,839 Speaker 12: and I definitely know you know, it's a couple of 181 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 12: potholes in the roads you hit throughout your career, but 182 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 12: you keep fighting, you keep bouncing back, and that's the 183 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 12: love for the game. And that's what I expect for 184 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 12: Nick to come back one hundred percent. 185 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 5: Seeing in Nick the last couple of weeks before the injury. 186 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 5: I mean, were you starting to see maybe him round 187 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 5: in the corner and becoming the old Nick Chubb. 188 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 3: But I in the way he was running. 189 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 12: Yeah, well I saw that once he stepped on the field, 190 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 12: I mean day one. And what I mean by that 191 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 12: just being able to come back for those injuries and 192 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 12: come back out there and play. 193 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 11: Uh. 194 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 12: Says a lot about him, and says a lot about 195 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 12: the training and the commitment and the time that was 196 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 12: put in. But you turn the film on. I get 197 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 12: excited when I was turning the film on each and 198 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 12: every day throughout practice and of course in the game. 199 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,079 Speaker 12: What you saw in the game was him being able 200 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 12: to plan his foot uh, to make cuts. 201 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 6: It was slowly but surely starting to come back. 202 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 4: So sometimes guys have major knee injuries, and I know 203 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 4: his was a major major one. That second season, they 204 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 4: get closer to who they were. Could you see that 205 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 4: being the case for Nick? With another off season, more 206 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 4: time to build up whatever muscle, whatever it needs to 207 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 4: do to get maybe that explosion that didn't he didn't 208 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 4: have that he used to have. 209 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 12: You know, it's it's very easy for us to say 210 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 12: that right now, and and when you go and look 211 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 12: at the film, he hadn't happy. He didn't have opportunity 212 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 12: to show it. So before we be so judgment on 213 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,839 Speaker 12: that part, let's give him opportunity to see if he 214 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 12: had the explosion. I think he has it. I think 215 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 12: it's still there. And hopefully those opportunities will show themselves 216 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 12: next year. 217 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 13: So Jerome obviously probably getting more of a workload, now 218 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 13: what uh he had that figure on Sundays, but great 219 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 13: in the kick return game? What what makes Jerome so 220 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 13: effective for you guys? 221 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 12: I mean, Jerome is besides the speed, besides the quickness 222 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 12: that he has, just being able to play all three 223 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 12: downs and of course the special team's value was really good. 224 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,079 Speaker 12: And you know, I didn't know Jerome was a kickoff 225 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 12: return until I got here. I knew what type of 226 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 12: back he was, but just being able to show his 227 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 12: skills on kickoff return is is really good for me 228 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 12: to see that he's able to take it and go 229 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 12: the distance. He had a couple of times, a couple 230 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 12: of chances there where he could have broke a couple 231 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 12: on Like I get on him about it, Hey man, 232 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:58,839 Speaker 12: you're slowing down or something. 233 00:10:58,880 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 3: Like that. 234 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 6: I always mentioned that to him. 235 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 12: But having that opportunity to get out there on kick 236 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 12: off return and being able to show those skills, it's 237 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 12: really good. 238 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 5: He had that hamstring injury earlier in the season. How 239 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 5: much did that sort of linger once he even got 240 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 5: back out there, and how much are we starting again 241 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 5: kind of the last couple of weeks. You're starting to 242 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,719 Speaker 5: really see some explosion out of it. Seemed like out 243 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 5: of him the Pittsburgh game, even coming back to Denver. 244 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 12: I think, yeah, he really never talked about it after 245 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 12: he got healthy, so of course I ain't gonna bring 246 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 12: it up. You know, he just went to work, and 247 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 12: he went out there and just you know, continue to 248 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 12: beat Jerome and showed the speed and the urgency and 249 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,479 Speaker 12: the quickness that he's had around here for a while. 250 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 3: Dealing with this. 251 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 4: We haven't seen him since the injury, you know, just 252 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 4: a back to back season enders. 253 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 6: How's he handling it? I mean it's tough. It's tough. 254 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,079 Speaker 12: I mean, like I said, just being able to put 255 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 12: in all that work all the time, that's dedicated. You know, 256 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 12: Nick is a passionate guy.

They're 335 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 14: battling each other, and things like that happen. 336 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 7: Sometimes help you guys as a defense and probably as 337 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 7: a whole team that your best player on defense is 338 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 7: really setting the tone for playing as hard as possible 339 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 7: throughout this home stretch when the playoffs. 340 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 9: Are not. 341 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 14: Yeah, you know, you know we we had talked about 342 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 14: this before, and we're always talking about our why you know, 343 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 14: what are we doing here? 344 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 10: Why? Why are we doing what we're doing? 345 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 14: You know, I always believe that that, you know, you know, 346 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 14: men are much better when they have purpose, and and 347 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 14: guys like Miles he always has purpose, you know, whether 348 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 14: it's you know, being the best player on the on 349 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 14: the field, getting sacks, helping his team win. You know, 350 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 14: the guy goes out there with a sense of purpose. 351 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 14: So just getting those guys to rally around that. You know, 352 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 14: everybody in that room has a lot of pride and 353 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 14: and we're we're not just gonna come in at at 354 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 14: any game and just lay it down, you know we are. 355 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 10: We're guys that have a lot of pride. 356 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 14: We're a bunch of football players that know how to 357 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 14: play this game and play it well. And for whatever reason, 358 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 14: you know, we haven't done that this year as far 359 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 14: as collectively as a group. So that doesn't mean that 360 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 14: we stopped playing, you know, it doesn't mean that we 361 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 14: start playing. You know, we we got to go out 362 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 14: there and compete every play into the last, the last whistle, 363 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 14: and and whatever happens happened from there. 364 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 3: Got a mic last week, you know, getting. 365 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 14: Back on the field, it was just good to see 366 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 14: him just still be explosive, still be physical, violent. It 367 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 14: was great to see him make that that tackle for 368 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 14: loss and just you know, you could tell like he 369 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 14: was just itching to make a play, and uh, he's 370 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 14: just worked so hard. You know, there's been a long 371 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 14: year from from Mike, you know, the different things that 372 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 14: he's had to go through, and I'm actually really really 373 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 14: happy and proud of the kid that you know, he's 374 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 14: gone through a little bit of adversity. You know, coming 375 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 14: into the league. It's already tough enough as it is 376 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 14: being a rookie in the NFL, but then having to 377 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 14: go through all these little adversities and bounced back from that, 378 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 14: that's just it's really telling of the type of man 379 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 14: that he is, and the type of character that he 380 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 14: has and and his work ethics. So I was really 381 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 14: really happy to see, you know what he did out there, 382 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 14: making a couple of plays and and just getting back 383 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 14: to himself. As far as a Rusher's concern, I'm expecting 384 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 14: real big things from him this week. 385 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 11: At Miles' career, like he's just had so much success 386 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 11: against the Bengals. I mean, you know, what's your first 387 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 11: year here, but what what do you think kind of 388 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,679 Speaker 11: goes into having that much success sapp wise against one. 389 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 14: I think just Miles just generally just against the AFC 390 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,439 Speaker 14: North just he just has a lot of success. You know, 391 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 14: you know, you're you're going up against these guys twice 392 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 14: a year. There's familiarity and and obviously there's pride in 393 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 14: in in the conference and this pride and and going 394 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 14: against guys that know you and you know them really well. 395 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 14: So I mean, I just think Miles just he approaches 396 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 14: every team the same way, but I think there's just 397 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 14: a little bit more just unfunny he has to play 398 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 14: against the AFC North. 399 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 4: I've shown you, I mean now the eye and they 400 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 4: deal with the back end feed. Earlier years they had 401 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 4: a whole bunch of stuff he's dealing with, but he 402 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 4: hasn't missed any time. He's still playing a really high level. 403 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 4: So what's he's shown you by playing through all that. 404 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 14: It just just resiliency. It just just the type of 405 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,400 Speaker 14: player that he is, you know. I mean he still 406 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 14: works hard every day. You know, for a player that 407 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 14: you go out there's not a lot of players in 408 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 14: this world that that can say every time I take 409 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 14: a snap, I got four hands on me no matter what. 410 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 14: And he's still fighting through you know, me and him 411 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 14: were we had a little laugh the other day because 412 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 14: there's this one great shot of just him just fighting 413 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,479 Speaker 14: as much as he can through two people, and and 414 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 14: I mean that's just that's just Miles. You know, he 415 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 14: never complains. He just goes out there and and does 416 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 14: his job and does it at an extremely high level. 417 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 14: And honestly, I joke with him, I was like, I'm 418 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 14: gonna just bait the all the offensive coordinators out there. 419 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 14: I dare you not to chip him anymore, okay, because 420 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 14: you know, you got a guy out there that's getting 421 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,239 Speaker 14: hit every single time by two, sometimes three people, and 422 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 14: he's still going as hard as he can. I mean 423 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,640 Speaker 14: that's how much he loves the game. That's how much 424 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,959 Speaker 14: he has pride in himself and his unit, and and 425 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 14: how hard he wants to play for this city. So 426 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 14: you know, it's been a it's been an honor to 427 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 14: coach a guy like that, you know, a great player 428 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 14: like that. 429 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 4: It's not always just two guys, right, What's the most 430 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 4: extreme thing you've seen is the teams try to slow 431 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 4: him down. 432 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 14: Yeah, I've seen a chip, which is a tight end 433 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 14: punching the defensive end, right, So I've seen a chip 434 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 14: with the tackle. So that's the double team with a 435 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 14: back coming up and chipping him as well, with the 436 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,439 Speaker 14: center slide coming his way. So now you got potential one, 437 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 14: two to four guys that potentially can hit you at 438 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 14: one one, you know, on one play. And like I 439 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 14: said that, he never complains about it. You know, he 440 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,679 Speaker 14: might move to the other side, they're still gonna fall 441 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 14: him over there, but he never complains. He just keeps 442 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 14: trying to rush as much as he can. He'll come out, hey, 443 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 14: what are he seeing out there? Anything else that I 444 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 14: can do, you know, and just say we can move 445 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 14: you inside, we can move you on the other side. 446 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 14: You know, they're still going to try and find him 447 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 14: because he's that dangerous of a player. And you know, 448 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,399 Speaker 14: I'm happy for him. I really believe that. I'm just 449 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 14: happy that I get to be a part, hopefully of 450 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 14: him getting a hundred sacks. 451 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 7: You know, it's all the double teaming and the chipping 452 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 7: and all that kind of stuff that much different than 453 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 7: what JJ Watt saw and all the great pass rushers 454 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 7: in this league. 455 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 14: See, I mean, it's just it was It's a different scheme, 456 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 14: you know what JJ played, and so he was a 457 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 14: little bit more inside than outside. And you know, the 458 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 14: chips have really gone up the last couple of years. 459 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 14: You know, it was ten years ago you didn't see 460 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 14: this many chips. You know, it's you might you might 461 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 14: chip one elite rusher here and there third down. Now 462 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 14: you're seeing it on second down, sometimes first down, anytime 463 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 14: they pass the ball. So you know, courteously off offensive 464 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 14: coordinators out there that say, hey, you know, we're just 465 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 14: gonna protect up and and and help this tackle out 466 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 14: because he's a special player. He really is a he's 467 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 14: a generational talent. Sometimes I can't believe some of the 468 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 14: things he does out there. You know, you're talking about 469 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 14: a man that that picks up three hundred and twenty 470 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 14: pounds men and throws them off their feet almost on 471 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 14: a daily occasion. So you have to commit to two 472 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:34,439 Speaker 14: to three people to him at all times. 473 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 3: Wait to alleviate that, I mean, get get it. 474 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 5: You know, somebody from you know, Obo or or Isaiah, 475 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 5: come get you know, getting more pressure from the other side. 476 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean yeah, And and as you as you 477 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,199 Speaker 14: look at it, those guys are getting pressure. 478 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 10: Now. 479 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 14: You know, another thing that a lot of the offenses 480 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,159 Speaker 14: are doing is they got the chips and now the 481 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 14: ball's coming out a lot quicker. So you know, it's 482 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,679 Speaker 14: just it's just a matter of the other guys on 483 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 14: the other side getting more pressure and really work and 484 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,360 Speaker 14: sometimes you're seeing double chip nowadays. 485 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 10: So it's just you know, as a. 486 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 14: Pass rusher now in this league, you really really have 487 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 14: to work your butt off because you know, as you 488 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 14: can see, you know, the leading socker in the NFL 489 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 14: has twelve and a half sacks.

You know, last week you watch that that 509 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 14: that that Tennessee Titans game, Like, I mean, he did 510 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 14: a really nice job of just just stepping up, stepping out, 511 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 14: really just ducking and just really trying to avoid the rush. 512 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,199 Speaker 14: So you know, that's a guy that you have to 513 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 14: have multiple hits on him. You gotta have multiple guys 514 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 14: coming at him at the same time, and and you 515 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 14: really have to just collapse the pocket so he can't 516 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 14: go anywhere. But he's been doing a good job of 517 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 14: scrambling this year. He looks looks a lot quicker and 518 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 14: his eyes are focused down downfield, so he's always finding receivers. 519 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,120 Speaker 14: And obviously with a talent like you know Chase and 520 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 14: and Higgins and and and Brown in the backfield and Kysecki, 521 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 14: you know, our guys in the back end, they got 522 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 14: to do a great job of covering. 523 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 10: We got to do a great job of rushing. 524 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: Finally, Defensive Player of the Year Miles Garrett gave an 525 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: update on his back injury, which kept him out of practice. 526 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 5: Yesterday's back feeling, I'm a back feeling feel all right, of. 527 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 6: Course, practice just a little pool there in practice. 528 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 3: But the eye would the uh high doctor say. 529 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 15: This seek confusion and you just got me real good 530 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 15: on the outside part of my eye, I'm when I 531 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 15: rub it, it still hurts, but yeah, it's it's somewhere 532 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 15: near what it felt or it looked like. The uh 533 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 15: the first second that. 534 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,160 Speaker 3: A double vision.

Uh, once again, you're 538 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,919 Speaker 7: half the sack away from one hundred. So how do 539 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 7: you approach it?

I mean, we weren't playing well enough 661 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 15: on defense to win games for uh, the amount of 662 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 15: points where it's going. So now if we're being held 663 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 15: to seventeen points, that means we have to hold them 664 00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,479 Speaker 15: to fourteen. That's just what it is. We have to 665 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 15: We have to compliment the offense. If no, they're they're 666 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 15: no onor low right now, you know, then we have 667 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 15: to we have to step our game out, you know, 668 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 15: same with each phase. You know, there's gonna be games 669 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 15: where we let up twenty one, twenty eight. An offense 670 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 15: is gonna have to you know, kicking in the high 671 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 15: drive high drive and make those plays. But we have to, 672 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 15: you know, you know, make those plays down the stretch 673 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 15: to give them to give them the ball. So you know, 674 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 15: we just we just play off each other. And I 675 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 15: don't feel like there was there was enough complimentary football 676 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 15: down the stretch, and that's that's everybody's fault. You know, 677 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 15: there's there's no no phase in which we were you know, 678 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 15: perfect or really great at you know, we have to 679 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 15: be great as a team, and uh, we weren't the 680 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 15: We weren't that you know, special team that we were 681 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 15: like last. 682 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 7: Year, quarterback uncertainty heading into next season, and some other 683 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 7: things on the team, some areas the blocks. Uh. I'm 684 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 7: just wondering, why is it so important for you to 685 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 7: remain with the Cleveland Browns and finish your career here 686 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 7: as opposed to maybe having an opportunity to join an 687 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 7: absolute super Bowl contender at some point in your career. 688 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 6: Well, for me, I I. 689 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 15: Mean, first of all, I wanna win and want the 690 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 15: Browns to be able to put me and us in 691 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 15: position to win. And I'm not trying to rebuild. I'm 692 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 15: trying to to win right now and I want that 693 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 15: to be you know, apparent win, you know, the know 694 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 15: the season's over and we have those discussions. I want 695 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 15: them to be able to you know, illuminate that for me, 696 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 15: illustrate that for me, so they can so that can 697 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 15: be you know, something I can see in the the 698 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 15: near future.

But you know, 702 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 15: we have to do at the end of the day, 703 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 15: what's best for us. So if we if we have 704 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 15: that you know, alignment where you know, this is something 705 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 15: that is still possible in the near future. No winning, 706 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 15: going deep into playoffs, no putting uh uh a great 707 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:23,480 Speaker 15: defense out there, having a uh a time of possession. 708 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 15: Uh you no running game offense, you know, getting all 709 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 15: the uh the uh the guys back and uh I 710 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 15: think that would that would uh really you know, keep 711 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,479 Speaker 15: my mind at at rest and keep me settled, uh 712 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 15: and not just mine, you know, a lot of the 713 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 15: guys on the defense of d line or uh around 714 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 15: the team. But we we have to continue to you know, 715 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 15: take strides forward, not not just U as uh as players, 716 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 15: but you know, from top down. 717 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 7: So you want to show you that they have a 718 00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 7: sound plan going forward to that.
