00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: The newest members of your Cleveland Browns were in the

9
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: offensive lineman Elton Jenkins, and linebacker Quincy Williams. Up first,

10
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: offensive lineman Zion Johnson, who's missed just two games in

11
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: his entire NFL career.

12
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 2: Jarn, I just want to ask you, first off, what

13
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: was sort of the sales pitch they made Andrew and

14
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 2: others made to you. Did they give you sort of

15
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: an idea of what your role was going to be

16
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: here in terms of left guard, right guard, any of

17
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: that sort of thing.

18
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 3: I mean, I think the pitch for me was clear.

19
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, looking at the team from outside end,

20
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 3: for me, it looked like a team on the rise.

21
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 4: Like there's a lot of pieces.

22
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 3: Uh, you know, the front office is very you know

23
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 3: hell bent on improving the offensive line, improving the team

24
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 3: as a whole. And uh, you know, you know my

25
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 3: role was just to come in, you know, play whatever

26
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 3: position is needed, whether it is left or right, to

27
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 3: help the team in any any way necessary. But you know,

28
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 3: the draw was clear for me. You know, I could

29
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 3: see the potential and the talent on this team.

30
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 2: I just kind of follow up to the left. We

31
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: may maybe a left tackle right tackle. On the differences

32
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 2: in those positions, is there much difference going left guard

33
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 2: to right guard.

34
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 3: I think for someone who's played one spot more predominantly

35
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 3: than the other, it can be a little bit of

36
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 3: a switch, just having to flip everything, like in terms

37
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 3: of how you viewed scheme, your perspective as the player

38
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 3: on the field. But you know, a lot of us

39
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 3: train movement going both direction, So I think for you know,

40
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 3: a lot of offensive linemen, that's something that you know

41
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 3: is a reality for us that you know, you might

42
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 3: have to play left or right, so we train both

43
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 3: positions to you know, be able to switch more fluently.

44
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, Zion, just wondering have you do you know Joel

45
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 5: Bottonio at all? And there is some thought that maybe

46
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 5: he might come back to the team, and I don't know,

47
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,679
Speaker 5: you know, if you know, if that's gonna happen or

48
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 5: not going to happen. But if you had a chance

49
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 5: to play with him and work with him, what do

50
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 5: you think that would be like for you?

51
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 3: No, personally, I don't know Joe Potonio personally, but you know,

52
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 3: I think every young guard knows who Joe Potonio is.

53
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 3: You know, you know, he's played at an extremely high level, uh,

54
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 3: year after year after year. You know, he's the you know,

55
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 3: kind of pinnacle on the level that a lot of

56
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 3: young guards aspire to play to. So, you know, to

57
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 3: have the opportunity to be around so somebody like that,

58
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 3: to learn from them, uh, to you know, play next

59
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 3: to them. You know, I think anybody would love that opportunity.

60
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 5: And would you you know, love a chance to reach

61
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 5: out to him and say, hey, you know, come on,

62
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 5: let's let's do this. Would you take that chance if

63
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 5: you've had it?

64
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 3: You know, I think, you know, not not knowing him personally,

65
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 3: I don't really know like where he at, where he's

66
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 3: at mentally in his career, you know, whether he's he's

67
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 3: thinking about coming back retiring, you know, I don't know him,

68
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 3: but like I said, you know, as a young guard,

69
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 3: I would love the opportunity to play with somebody who's

70
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 3: you know, put together a body of work for their career.

71
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 4: Like he has.

72
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 6: Any sign you mentioned the Brons being hell bent on

73
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 6: fixing the offensive line, So just what have you thought

74
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 6: about the other moves, you know, starting with Titus and

75
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 6: then obviously Elton as well.

76
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean both both of those guys I've watched

77
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 3: a lot on Crossover. You know, as offensive lineman, we

78
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 3: love to watch our peers, see things that they do well,

79
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 3: see things that we can steal for our own game.

80
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 3: And uh, you know, both of those guys are are

81
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 3: are really really good players, you know, you know tight

82
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 3: Titus you know when he was to Houston and Elton

83
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 3: when he was in Green Bay. You know, those guys,

84
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 3: you know, were just consistent. And you know, I'm really

85
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 3: excited to get to play next to them, you know,

86
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 3: to really grow with them and you know, see what

87
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 3: we can become as a unit, because I think we

88
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 3: all have a lot of unique strengths that we can

89
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 3: you know, add to this offensive line unit and you know,

90
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 3: things that we can enhance in each other as.

91
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 6: Well, and then following up on what Mary chass about Joel,

92
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 6: would it be I don't know daunting at all if

93
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 6: he does retire, doesn't come back to move into left

94
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 6: guard and fill the spot that he's you know filled,

95
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 6: you know, gone to seven Pro Bowls at that spot

96
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 6: for this team.

97
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 3: I mean, like I said before, you know Joe Patonio,

98
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 3: he played at an extremely high level for a lot

99
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 3: of years. But you know, I have a lot of

100
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 3: you know, faith in myself and my own abilities to

101
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 3: help this team win, to do what's necessary and require

102
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 3: fifty team So you know, it's an honor to be

103
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 3: able to play that position, you know, after somebody like that,

104
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 3: and you know it'll be my job to hold that

105
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 3: standard in my time as well.

106
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 7: Hey, Zion, just to go back to something you set

107
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 7: up top and the pitch they made to you in

108
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 7: the investment they're making on the line, Like I think,

109
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 7: from the outside looking in, remaking an O line like

110
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 7: this seems daunting, but it sounds like for you it

111
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 7: was a draw to come in and be a part

112
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 7: of building this up. Can you just explain that a

113
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 7: little bit more and why it would be a draw

114
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 7: for a player.

115
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 3: I mean, I think looking from the outside end, this

116
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 3: team has a lot of you know, good pieces, a

117
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 3: lot of talented players.

118
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 4: You know.

119
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 3: I just remember, you know, during the season, I was

120
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 3: watching one of the games I can't remember that the

121
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 3: Browns was playing, and you know, I saw this young

122
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 3: running back that just looked electric and I thought, man, like,

123
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 3: if I had the opportunity to block for somebody like that,

124
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 3: you know, the sky's the limit, so, you know, and

125
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 3: having an opportunity to come here and just seeing you know,

126
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 3: the pieces that we have, and you know, the other

127
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 3: veterans that have come in on the offensive line as well.

128
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 3: You know, I just feel, you know, really good about

129
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 3: our room, and I think that, you know, we have

130
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 3: the you know, the potential to be something very special.

131
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 7: And then I just want to ask how exciting it

132
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 7: is to be able to get the chance to work

133
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 7: with coach Warhop, someone who's you know, so respected it

134
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 7: seems like wherever he's worked.

135
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that was a huge draw for me

136
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 3: as well. You know, I think he's one of those

137
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 3: offensive line coaches that you know, draws guys in just

138
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 3: with his his you know, his level of coaching, Like

139
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 3: he is one of the elite offensive line coaches, and

140
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 3: I think that's pretty well known. So to you know,

141
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 3: have the opportunity to come in and you know, have

142
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 3: him coach me, to learn things from him, but also

143
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 3: you know, to you know, bounce off of him as well.

144
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be great for me and

145
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 3: great for our room as a whole.

146
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 8: Hi Zion two questions.

147
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 9: Uh, First, what were the circumstances of you moving from

148
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 9: right tack uh left tackle to right tackle your second

149
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 9: season and staying there for the next three years?

150
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 8: Right guard, I'm sorry, from right from left guard to

151
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 8: right guard.

152
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, so my rookie year, I played right guard. You know,

153
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 3: that's what the team required of me at that point.

154
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 3: You know, we had a you know, a veteran in uh,

155
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 3: Matt Filer, who you know was playing at a at

156
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 3: a high level. And you know, my attitude has always

157
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 3: been to help the team in any way necessary, whatever

158
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 3: you know they require of me. And you know, the

159
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 3: next season, you know, Matt Filer, you ended up going

160
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 3: to Tampa Bay, I believe, and they needed someone to

161
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 3: play left guard. So, uh, you know I slipped in there,

162
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 3: filled in there. But my approach has always been whatever

163
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 3: you know best elevates the team. You know, whether that's

164
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 3: me playing left right, you know, I'm willing to do

165
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 3: it all.

166
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 9: And my other question is you were drafted by Tom Telesco,

167
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 9: who's the GM of the Chargers at the time. He's

168
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 9: had kind of an unofficial role here this year. Was

169
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 9: he involved in any of your transaction here?

170
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 3: I'm not talking to talking to him. I have not

171
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 3: spoken to him, you know, officially one on one or anything.

172
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 3: But I have a lot of respect for Tom. You know,

173
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 3: he was a great gem in the time that I

174
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 3: had him in LA and uh, you know, we'll always

175
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 3: have great respect for him.

176
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 10: Hey, Zion, there were plenty of injuries last year on

177
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 10: the Chargers offensive line with Rashaan and Joe and everything.

178
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 10: Just with the constant changes in the line that you

179
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 10: guys had to deal with. What did that kind of

180
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 10: teach you about having to adjust and adapt as the

181
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 10: season goes along.

182
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 3: I think one of the key things for me personally

183
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 3: is was just you know, focusing on my role, on

184
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 3: my job, helping the team in any way possible, whether

185
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 3: that meant you know, honing my own craft, uh, you know,

186
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 3: getting my own work after before practice or you know,

187
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 3: pulling another guy aside, whether you know it was a

188
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 3: tackle that's filling in or you know, a center that's

189
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 3: filling in, to get extra work with that guy to

190
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 3: build that you know, that synergy, that camaraderie so that

191
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 3: we can play together on Sunday. I think it just

192
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 3: kind of top media ability to adapt to whatever situation.

193
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 3: You know, whether it's two days before the game, you know,

194
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 3: we find out you know, somebody different is starting, or

195
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 3: whether we know you know, you know it's Joe or

196
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 3: Rashaan who's going to be starting. You know, continuously someone

197
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 3: I have overport with just being able to adjust and

198
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 3: look at the circumstances and you know, figure out how

199
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 3: to move forward.

200
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 10: And then I know last year during ota IS and

201
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 10: maybe some during training camp they looked at you at center.

202
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 10: Just did that build up your versatility or how did

203
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 10: that experience go?

204
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 3: I think for me having that opportunity of you know,

205
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 3: learning center, playing that position some, it definitely did build

206
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 3: up my versatility, but it really honed my process as

207
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 3: a player. When you have to flip positions where you

208
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 3: have to go center guard. You know there's guys out

209
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 3: there that have to go tackle guard. You know, you

210
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 3: have to have a process for you know, how you

211
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 3: prepare yourself during the week, prepare yourself before the snap,

212
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 3: you know, just to get in that mode to play

213
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 3: that position. So it really honed down my routine for

214
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 3: the week and honed down my process as a player.

215
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 11: Zi and you kind of just talked about the synergy

216
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 11: and the adjustments you had to make with an offensive

217
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 11: line that dealt with injuries. But how much does that

218
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 11: now relate and how much of that can you bring

219
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 11: here with an offensive line that's going to be just

220
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 11: so many new pieces and parts in general, not just

221
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 11: a guy stepping in here, just an entirely revamped line.

222
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 11: How much can can that translate as you enter your

223
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 11: time here with the Browns.

224
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 3: I mean, I think the key thing is we got

225
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 3: to work together, you know, we got to you know,

226
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 3: put in the time on the field, in the weight room,

227
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 3: whatever's required to you know, grow that synergy playing together

228
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 3: knowing how we set and knowing you know, how we

229
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 3: fit different double teams. And I think that just takes dedication,

230
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 3: and that takes you know, the effort foot forward to

231
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 3: work at it. And I think you know, the guys

232
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 3: that we have, you know, in my brief time talking

233
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 3: you know, to Elton. You know, I think that we're

234
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 3: all alike in that way that you know, we want

235
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 3: to be great. We want to you know, have that

236
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 3: synergy as an offensive line. So we're going to do

237
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 3: anything necessary to achieve that.

238
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 11: And then obviously this team is going to be going

239
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 11: through a lot of decision making when it comes to

240
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 11: the quarterback. Is a guy that's there to protect him.

241
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 11: You might be faced with different opportunities different guys, and

242
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 11: it might it might be kind of fluid, especially you know,

243
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 11: throughout the summer. So what's your mindset going into this

244
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 11: is as the team approaches that, having to maybe be

245
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 11: a little bit more versatile and how you block and

246
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 11: how you scheme things for whoever may be there under center.

247
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 3: I think our job is, you know, whoever is under center,

248
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 3: to give them the best opportunity, the best chance to

249
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 3: be successful at what they do. You know what, whether

250
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 3: that means protection, whether that means you know, making the

251
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 3: run game efficient, to provide some cushion for the quarterback.

252
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 3: I think, you know, our mindset is, you know, we're

253
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 3: gonna do whatever we can to you know, help put

254
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 3: the quarterback in a position where he can be successful.

255
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 12: As I two questions, Were you disappointed the Chargers decline

256
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 12: that fifth your option?

257
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 3: Was I disappointed? No, I wouldn't say I was. I

258
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 3: know there's a lot of things that you know, go on,

259
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 3: you know, with the business side of things, But my

260
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 3: mind has always been squarely on football. You know, how

261
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 3: I can affect the team, how I can help the team,

262
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 3: and playing my game and continuously getting better as a player.

263
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 3: So you know, I try to control the controllables things

264
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 3: I can control on the field. You know, what I

265
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 3: put in my body, how I work out, and the

266
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 3: things that I don't necessarily have control over.

267
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 4: You know, I don't really worry too much about those things.

268
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 12: And then I did not study study you. But there

269
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 12: were reports out of Honest and Los Angeles that you

270
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 12: struggled in the past block and you probably have heard

271
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 12: those reports. Could you just respond to that.

272
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 3: I mean, I think evident watching the tape, I think, uh,

273
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 3: you know, I have a lot of strengths in past protection.

274
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 3: If you know, watching the tape, you know, I think

275
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 3: that's something that I continuously worked on a year in

276
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 3: and year out in my career. I think that's something

277
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 3: I've definitely improved on throughout my career, and you know, yeah,

278
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 3: that's that's pretty much all I got for.

279
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 4: That, Hayes.

280
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 13: I wanted to follow up on. You know, you were

281
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 13: talking about watching the Browns and seeing that running back.

282
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 13: I'm assuming it was quin Shawn Judkins. Do you remember

283
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 13: what it was he liked so much about watching him?

284
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 3: I remember watching I think it was a counterplay that

285
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 3: they ran to the left and I think like a

286
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 3: tight end got a holding call or something, but the

287
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 3: run split for like a sixty yard touchdown and it

288
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 3: got called back. But I watched that run and I

289
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 3: was like, Wow, that's that was an insane run.

290
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 14: By that by that running back.

291
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 3: And you know, I think tons of offensive linemen around the league,

292
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 3: you know, when you see a running back that can

293
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 3: make you know, things appear almost out of nothing. You know,

294
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 3: it's it's very impressive to watch.

295
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 13: And then you know, you have not missed many games

296
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 13: in your career. Why why has it been so important

297
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 13: for you to be on the field And how much

298
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 13: pride do you take in the fact that you're kind

299
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 13: of always there to answer the bell.

300
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I take a lot of pride in

301
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 3: it because you know, you can't help the team, you know,

302
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 3: from off the field, you know, I mean, sure you

303
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 3: can through practice and whatnot. But I think the way

304
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 3: that I add to the team, the way that I

305
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 3: you know, fill my role and do my job, is

306
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 3: being out there consistently, you know, doing my job, giving

307
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 3: everything I can as my body or whatever to the team.

308
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 3: So I take a lot of pride in that.

309
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, Hi, hi Zion, Just wondering, have you had an

310
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 5: opportunity to meet or talk to either Shador Standers or

311
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 5: Deshaun Watson yet? Since you've got this opportunity, and if

312
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 5: not either of those guys, have you maybe heard from

313
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 5: anyone else and maybe another veteran on the team kind

314
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 5: of welcoming you here so far?

315
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 3: You know, I haven't had an opportunity to really talk

316
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 3: to anybody yet. You know, it's been really really fast.

317
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 3: You know, it's been like a whirlwind. But you know,

318
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 3: those are, you know, some of the guys that I

319
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 3: look forward to to meeting to talking to when I

320
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 3: have the opportunity to and especially when we get working

321
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 3: here in a few weeks in OTAs.

322
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 5: What do you think so far of Shador and Deshaun

323
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 5: and the two guys that are going to be kind

324
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 5: of battling it out here for the starting quarterback job.

325
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 3: You know, I think both of those guys are very

326
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 3: impressive guys, and you know, I think it's like I

327
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 3: said earlier, our job is an offensive line to let

328
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 3: them display that, and uh, you know that's what we're

329
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 3: gonna do.

330
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 12: All right.

331
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 7: Thanks Zion, appreciate.

Speaker 1: Up next to his offensive lineman Elton Jenkins, who comes

334
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: over to the Browns from the Green Bay Packers.

335
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 13: Hey, Elton, going back to kind of what happened with

336
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 13: Green Bay? Were you surprised that they that they cut

337
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 13: you and what sort of happened there at the end.

338
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 4: So damn how you doing now? I wasn't surprised.

339
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 15: I mean we was in talks about, you know, the

340
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 15: situation and how we was gonna do it moving forward.

341
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 13: Does does something like that like motivate you as you

342
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 13: move forward? Just sort of I don't know, proving them

343
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 13: wrong is the right way to put it, but does

344
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 13: that motivate you kind of moving forward here?

345
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 4: I mean it definitely motivate me.

346
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 15: You know, a team you've been with for so long

347
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 15: and you know they got to go a different route.

348
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 15: But just the nature of the business though, So just

349
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 15: glad to be a Brown, be ready to win some games.

350
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 4: Welcome to Cleveland.

351
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: Just I wanted to ask you about your versatility. When

352
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 2: when did you first really developed that, you know, being

353
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 2: able to play multiple positions. Was that, you know, youth level,

354
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 2: you know, high school, college? Where did that that first? Really?

355
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 2: You know, did were you able to really fine tune.

356
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 15: That looking back? Looking back on it? So when I

357
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 15: was like eleventh grade, I was playing left tackle. Then

358
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 15: my last year we went to a more run heavy

359
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 15: offense and I was playing guard. When I got to

360
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 15: Mississippi State, I started off as left I was a

361
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 15: swinging left tackle, right tackle, getting a lot of working

362
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 15: at and then one of my teammates went down, so

363
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 15: they put me at guard for a game and I

364
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 15: started selling it that.

365
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 4: So I finished that year out at guard.

366
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 15: And then like my junior and senior year, my coach

367
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 15: is like, you know, I know the offense better than

368
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,360
Speaker 15: everybody or you know, anybody on the old line being

369
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 15: there what going on three years, So he wanted me

370
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,479
Speaker 15: to move to center, and I did that and it

371
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 15: was a you know, drafting in the second round. So

372
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 15: I've been doing it my whole career, honestly, Loanch you know,

373
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 15: to answer your question.

374
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 2: Do you have a preference? I mean, is there one

375
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 2: where you feel most comfortable, most comfortable compared to others I've.

376
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 15: Been playing, you know, so especially in the NFL, I

377
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 15: have I got way more snaps at left guard than

378
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 15: any other position and playing center in college. So now

379
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 15: it's just like whatever, I'm open to plan. Whatever it

380
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 15: is gonna help the team and it's gonna help us

381
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 15: sl moving forward.

382
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 5: Hi Elton, I have two quick questions here for you. Uh.

383
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 5: The first one is can you just tell us where

384
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 5: you are right now sort of from a health standpoint,

385
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 5: and what you think you'll be able to do when

386
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 5: the off season program begins.

387
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 15: Right now, I'm rehabbing, doing everything I can to get better,

388
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 15: but I do feel good every week I see process

389
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 15: seem I see progress. Well, yeah, I'm feeling good. And

390
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 15: you know, ot A starting in the next couple two

391
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 15: what April sixth or whatever whatever that it is, and

392
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 15: I plan on being here with the team, you know,

393
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 15: going through my rehab process, but being ready for the

394
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 15: season when they come up.

395
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 5: Okay, And then my next question was were you able

396
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 5: to see you know in the game that you guys

397
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 5: played against the Browns last year that this is, like

398
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 5: Zion said earlier, kind of a team that maybe has

399
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 5: more to it than what the record may have shown

400
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 5: last year.

401
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 15: Oh yeah, most definitely, especially planning the plan our defense.

402
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 15: Y'all definitely kicked it. Y'all kicked out. But so just

403
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 15: having the top two, top three defense, and then just

404
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 15: the guys the scale positions as far as our receivers,

405
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 15: the running back just sitting run the ball.

406
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 4: Last year, it was like very like very.

407
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 15: Motivating to come here and just have a running back

408
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 15: like that that run with such such confidence.

409
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 4: Power and the speed he got.

410
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 15: So I definitely think the record last year doesn't show

411
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 15: the team that we have. And you know it's our

412
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 15: job to come in and expect to win and do that.

413
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 9: Okay, hi Elton, you have played so many positions along

414
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 9: the line, but you made the Pro Bowl twice at

415
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 9: left card. So how much conversation took place so far

416
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 9: with the Browns as to where you're playing.

417
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 15: Yeah, we talked about it and I told him I

418
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 15: want to keep an open mind moving forward. You know,

419
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 15: the more guys we got, the better they can play.

420
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 15: Different positions. But obviously you don't want to play musical

421
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 15: chairs and stuff like that, but you do want guys

422
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 15: that's able to fill in if a guy go down,

423
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 15: or if we need a guy this week and things

424
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 15: like that. So I'm definitely open to plan anything it's

425
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 15: gonna help the team.

426
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 9: So you seem to be like a wild card as

427
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 9: they remake this offensive line. They still have some uncertainty

428
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 9: at center and at left tackle. If you were to

429
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 9: be designated the starter from the off season program at

430
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 9: one of those two positions, do you feel comfortable.

431
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 8: About having a Pro Bowl year at either of those positions.

432
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure.

433
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 15: I just right now, it's just getting healthy and making

434
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 15: sure that I'm getting the reps at whatever position they

435
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 15: want me to play. But I definitely feel like I

436
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 15: still can play it. I'm still gonna play this game

437
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 15: at a high level no matter what position it is.

438
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 6: Hey, what do you think about the rest of the

439
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 6: moves that the Browns have made on the old line

440
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 6: with Titus and Zion and bringing back Teven?

441
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 15: Yeah, I feel like they're gonna be there. I feel

442
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 15: like Zion I've trained with I've trained with Titus in

443
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 15: twenty eighteen, coming out, we went to the Singing Bowl together,

444
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 15: got a girl relationship with him, just made Zion he

445
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 15: like a good guy. I'm seeing some football on him.

446
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 15: So we definitely got the pieces. They definitely brought good

447
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 15: pieces in to help us solidify the old line.

448
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 4: So I'm excited about that.

449
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 14: And did you know.

450
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 6: Todd Monkin before this? And if not, what of your

451
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 6: early conversation has been.

452
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 15: Like, I know they recruited me for a little bit,

453
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 15: just a little bit when he was at sut of

454
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 15: miss but not too I didn't know him too much,

455
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 15: but you know, excited to meet him and you know,

456
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 15: get to know him well.

457
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 11: And I asked Zion about it too. Obviously, continuity, consistency,

458
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 11: and chemistry are very important to the offensive line. With

459
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 11: this team kind of revamping it in so many new

460
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 11: pieces and parts, what do you think the key is

461
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:23,959
Speaker 11: going to be for you guys as a unit as

462
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 11: you kind of remake this line to get things going

463
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 11: and get things going early when the season gets here.

464
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 15: Just making sure that we here ready to compete with

465
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 15: the d line that we got.

466
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna make it.

467
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 15: It's gonna make it easier on game they rather than

468
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 15: in practice, So just being here ready to compete. Like

469
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 15: you say, building the continuity on the chemistry with each

470
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 15: other is gonna be very key.

471
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 11: And then you for you guys, as the guys in

472
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 11: the trenches. This team has invested so much this tire

473
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 11: offseason has been focused on rebuilding this line. Why do

474
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 11: you think there's been such a shift the importance of

475
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 11: making sure that the trenches are as strong as they

476
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 11: can be. The Browns defensive line, we know what that is.

477
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 11: So for them to invest in you guys, why is

478
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 11: that so important to the success of an entire.

479
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 15: Team, Because that's where it started. It started up front

480
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 15: on an O line, in on the D line and

481
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 15: having the skill guys that we got in the building

482
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 15: right now, I think with a good old line and

483
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 15: us building chemistry and playing good football is gonna help

484
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 15: us out a lot and help us win a lot

485
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:27,959

Speaker 7: a little bit, what else did he What was part

504
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 7: of his sales pitch besides coach Warhop.

505
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 15: I mean, I was just playing together and know we

506
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,719

Speaker 15: we was there, and just being able to play together

508
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 15: again and build his offensive line and take us to

509
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 15: where we wanted to go. And he felt very he

510
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 15: was very enth enthusiastic about, you know, us moving forward.

511

00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 15: we're here now.

513
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 12: So if I got this timeline right, Packers released you,

514
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 12: I think on Monday with a failed physical designation? Did

515
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 12: you when did did you have a physical with the

516
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 12: Browns before you signed us? Contract.

517
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 4: Yeah I did.

518
00:24:55,680 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 12: When when did that happen today? Okay, so you didn't

519
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 12: you didn't have it before you signed?

520
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 4: Well, I mean technically I did. I just signed, but

521
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 4: yes I did.

522
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 12: And so where are you in your rehab process?

523
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 15: We're doing good right now. Right now, we on we

524
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 15: on pace where we need to be at. Make sure

525
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 15: we're working hard, you know, just staying at it, but

526
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 15: just making sure we see progress every every week. Honestly though,

527
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 15: that's one of the main things that my trainer that

528
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 15: we hop on right now, just saying progress throughout.

529
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 4: Well, we're right where we need to be at, so

530
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 4: you're to be ready for when week one for sure.

531
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 10: Just wondering so far in discussions with the Browns, have

532
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 10: they seen you more as a center or a guard

533
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 10: or is it just everybody keeping an open mind going

534
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 10: into off season workouts?

535
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 15: Yeah, right now we're just keeping open my open mind.

536
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 15: I think the off season workout is going to, like,

537
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 15: you know, clear that out a little more than what

538
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 15: it is now. See where we can you know, where

539
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 15: the best the best star in five? Can we put

540
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 15: the starting five on the field. I think that's one

541
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 15: of the main things right now. So I think everybody

542
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 15: keeping an open mind and just you know, cross training

543
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 15: and just being ready and being available, and then just with.

544
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 10: The new coaching staff that the off season program, you

545
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 10: get a two week jump in two more weeks compared

546
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 10: to other teams for a new offensive line and trying

547
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 10: to develop and figure out the five starters. How important

548
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 10: is it getting that extra time leading into training camp.

549
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:29,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's gonna help us.

550
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 15: It's gonna help us out a lot, just being able

551
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 15: to get that jump, having two weeks on people. You know,

552
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 15: we were new in here. So honestly, I'm gonna ask

553
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 15: my I'm gonnask the playbook before I leave, you know,

554
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 15: just to get on top of that. But it's gonna

555
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 15: be very it's gonna be very key for for moving forward,

556
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 15: for for us to do what we want to do

557
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 15: moving forward.

558
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, Elton, Just wondering what do you know so

559
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 5: far about Shador Sanders and Deshaun Watson. And I know

560
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 5: you probably know by now that those two guys probably

561
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 5: are going to be the ones, uh competing for the

562
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 5: starting job. So just wondering what your thoughts are on

563
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,239
Speaker 5: those guys and how do you feel about kind of

564
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 5: you know, heading into a quarterback competition here.

565
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 15: Yeah, I see you know, me being on another team,

566
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 15: I've seen both of them play some real good football.

567
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 15: So I'm just keeping everything competitive. You know, whoever win,

568
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 15: whoever win the staring spot, you know, we're gonna be

569
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 15: their form or whoever. Don't you know we're gonna the

570
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 15: one or the two. We're gonna be their form. But

571
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 15: I guess just keeping the competitive and just being there

572
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 15: for both of them when they need it. But they

573
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 15: very good football players, and I'm decided to work with them.

574
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,239
Speaker 13: So I know you wouldn't have been directly matched up

575
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 13: with Miles Garrett a lot when you guys played in

576
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 13: Week three. But what was that like preparing for him?

577
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,360
Speaker 13: And what do you when you watch him?

578
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 14: Like, what do you see?

579
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 15: I mean, I think we all see the same thing. Uh,

580
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 15: you gotta chip them and gotta slide. You probably gotta

581
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 15: put three people on them sometimes that's how we how

582
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 15: we game planning, Gonna put a tight end over there.

583
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 15: But that's how we game planning in my old team.

584
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 15: But we're gonna put a tight end on them, were

585
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 15: gonna slide the line to them. Everybody got to keep

586
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 15: eyes on it. He was like the main focus that game,

587
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 15: and he still did what he you know, what he did.

588
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 15: The type of player he is, for him to for

589
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 15: people to game playing him, game plan him every week

590
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 15: and still break the sack record last year, you know,

591
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,479
Speaker 15: he just speak to what type of player he is,

592
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 15: and you know, just being the offensive lineman, just being

593
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 15: on the offense, just having those type of guys, not

594
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 15: even just him, just the whole d line, having Collins

595
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 15: and what Graham and every just having all those guys

596
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 15: on the defensive line, you knowing on third down you

597
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 15: might as well get up because something happened. It just

598
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 15: it's gonna bring a lot of juice to the team,

599
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 15: and we just got to piggyback off each other and

600
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 15: just play out and just play off each other.

601
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 4: Honestly, was it.

602
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 13: More extreme what you had to do against Miles than

603
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 13: maybe what you guys would do against some other d rushers.

604
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 4: I mean, it depends on who the edge rushers are.

605
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 15: Honestly, I think Miles and just leaving it just just

606
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 15: coming from a team with Michael Parson, Him and Miles

607
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 15: most definitely the top two, the top two edges in

608
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 15: the in the league right now, So you definitely got

609
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 15: to focus on them every play. You just know where

610
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 15: they're at.

611
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 8: Alton, how close so are you to Rashid Walker? Do

612
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 8: you think he's staying in Green Bay or moving along?

613
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 15: Man Tony Yo, Yes, yes, it's better than mine. You know,

614
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 15: hopefully we can hopefully we can get him in the

615
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 15: Cleveland Brown uniform. But you know, I feel like the

616
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 15: Scotts of leomit for Rashid. Honestly, he had a lot

617
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 15: of football ahead of him. He's still young, so you

618
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 15: know we can get him in here. You know, I

619
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 15: love to have him here. Been been knowing him for

620
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 15: the last four years and just seeing his game and

621
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 15: seeing him with you as a man and as a player.

622
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 15: It's been very special. So you know we can get

623
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 15: something done. You know, I'm with it. But you know,

624
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 15: best of luck to him wherever they may be.

625
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 7: All Right, thanks man, yep, all right, that wraps us up.

00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: Finally, linebacker Quincy Williams, who discussed reuniting with his first

628
00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: NFL position coach, the Brown's new defensive coordinator, Might Rutenberg.

629
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 14: Quincy raised on him.

630
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 5: It's so far, hey, Quincy. Mary Kacabot from Cleveland dot

631
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 5: Com clevenplaindealer, and I wanted to first ask you, what

632
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 5: can you just sort of describe your relationship with Mike

633
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 5: Ruttenberg Uh, and just talk about how he's coached you

634
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 5: over the years and perhaps how excited you are to

635
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 5: be reunited with him.

636
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 16: Oh, that's my doll. He's like my brother. First time

637
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 16: before we talk about football. The biggest thaying is really

638
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 16: cares about the heart. Biggest thing what I did off

639
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 16: the field affix what I do.

640
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 14: On the field.

641
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 16: So that's what he wanted to attackle both things far

642
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 16: as like what I do on the field, so I

643
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 16: can show up as myself, show up as this personality

644
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 16: always smiling as me, show up every single day at

645
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 16: work like that.

646
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 14: So he cares about that a lot.

647
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 16: And then on the field, as long as he take

648
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 16: care off the field, on the field should be easy.

649
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 14: So he said that all the time. That's his biggest thing.

650
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 16: But on the field, UH taught me every single thing

651
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 16: I knew, far as like the back of positions in

652
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 16: the league was with me the three teams I've been on.

653
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 16: So we have a good relationship far as like what

654
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 16: he expects and what's his little niches that he may

655
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 16: and may not have I ain't gonna tell them, though

656
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 16: You're good.

657
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 5: Do you feel like you'll be sort of rejuvenated with

658
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 5: him here this year?

659
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 16: I'll be rejuvenated number one, for having a different team,

660
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 16: and then I'll be rejuvenated number two by being in

661
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 16: the same scheme number three. Also, him being the defensive

662
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 16: coordinator is one of those things where I know for

663
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 16: a fact I'm to be putting in the best position possible,

664
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 16: and then on top of that, I'm able to tell

665
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 16: the locker room or tell the defensive guys that hey

666
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 16: wear in good hands.

667
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 14: Let's just play the player, Let's play the call.

668
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 16: He's gonna work out because I know for a factor

669
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 16: relationship and I know for a fact what his mindset

670
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 16: is and what's his why. So I know his off

671
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 16: the field, and I know he's on the field. So

672
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 16: I'm here to help him feed his family too. I

673
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 16: like that she called on people though they usually just

674
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 16: talk real loud, and see who talked the loudest.

675
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 12: So, Quincy, how would you describe the way you play linebacker.

676
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 14: Cheetah chasing the gazelle when he first wake up?

677
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 4: I like that?

678
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 12: So could you expand on that? That's a good description.

679
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 14: Expand on it. The biggest thing is speed speed, speed.

680
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 16: So my mindset is be there before the ball gets there,

681
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 16: or be there before the runner nose, I mean runner

682
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 16: or receiver nose. You're there, So that's my mind said.

683
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 16: So the only way I can do that is by

684
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 16: my preparation number one. That's making sure the game plans right,

685
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 16: making sure I know where I need to be, making

686
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 16: sure I know where my teammates are too, so I

687
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 16: know what plays I can take and I know what

688
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 16: shots I can take, and so that all that put together,

689
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 16: it looks like a Cheeta chasing the gazelle because I

690
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 16: know where I'm going and I know how fast I

691
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 16: need to be to get there before you turn around?

692
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 12: You know anything about the Browns defense before you got here?

693
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 4: A little bit?

694
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 16: A little bit, a little bit, but for the most part,

695
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,239
Speaker 16: as soon as I got here during this car wash,

696
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 16: probably says I got I brushed up on everything. It's

697
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 16: kind of gonna be like the same defense and stuff.

698
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 16: So I'm happy about that.

699
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 2: Hey, Quincy just wanted to kind of go back to

700
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 2: Mike and what was it about when you when he

701
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 2: came to New York and what's your position, coach, What

702
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 2: did he kind of help unlock for you when when

703
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 2: he got to work with you there?

704
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 4: When it started twenty I.

705
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 16: First got to the Jets, Yeah, playing freely at the

706
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 16: Jaguars that were asking me to play in the box,

707
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 16: flay in a box, far as like technique wise and

708
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 16: things like that.

709
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 14: When I got to the Jets.

710
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 16: They let me play free, let me be the athlete

711
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 16: I am, far as zones and things like that, and

712
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 16: then also being more in the man coveras not really

713
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 16: being focused on my eyes until I got ready to

714
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 16: train my eyes. And then later in twenty twenty three,

715
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 16: that's when I was ready for the full package of

716
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,479
Speaker 16: the Jets defense or whatever you can say, because I

717
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 16: first just got in. So with that being said, when

718
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 16: I first got the when I got the full defensive down,

719
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 16: that's when it kind of like flourished. In two thousand

720
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 16: and three when I went out pro where I picked

721
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 16: up on the defense, I knew exactly why supposed to be.

722
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 16: I knew that the simple that was it was simple

723
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 16: and it was just running, running hit, running hit, so

724
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 16: it was easy to play in.

725
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 2: And he was talking, uh last week about you know

726
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:12,720
Speaker 2: the difference.

727
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 14: I got to see this interview with everybody talking about

728
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 14: last week.

729
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 2: You know, he was talking about connecting with players, and

730
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 2: he talked different from connecting with you and connecting with CJ.

731
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 2: And he said CJ was just it was football. It

732
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 2: was just you know, that was the that was the

733
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 2: that was the entry point with for you. It was

734
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 2: a lot more, you know, man, the man off the field.

735
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 2: Can you sort of you know, expand a little bit

736
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 2: more on that the way he connects with the with players.

737
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 16: So he cares about you as a person and he

738
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 16: understands that to get something out of a person, you

739
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 16: have to first understand what the person come from and

740
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 16: what type of person he is. So he do well

741
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 16: I think the scouts do now as far as like

742
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 16: finding out by the person when they actually get in

743
00:34:58,600 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 16: his room.

744
00:34:59,040 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 14: He takes the time to.

745
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 16: Actually right before meetings and stuff, everybody doing what everybody

746
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,240
Speaker 16: got going on, families and stuff.

747
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:06,280
Speaker 14: Asked about families.

748
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 16: So then you feel comfortable, but you also feel connected

749
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 16: to your position group because you know everybody's why. You

750
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 16: know the person next to you, You even know the

751
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 16: person who called in the plays and they're why, so

752
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 16: you know that what their mindset and what there goes

753
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 16: is and everybody on the same page, everybody talking the

754
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 16: same language, and we're gonna be.

755
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 14: A fear defense or even more fear differense.

756
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 8: Hello, hear me? Good?

757
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:31,240
Speaker 14: Yeah, I just felt sure.

758
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 9: You got two questions. The first one you kind of

759
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 9: touched on, but I'm going to ask it again. Making

760
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 9: the first team All pros a career accomplishment for anybody.

761
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 9: What are the things that came together to make that

762
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 9: season so big?

763
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 4: For you?

764
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 16: Putting it all together far as off the field, my workouts,

765
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:54,399
Speaker 16: my training and the way I eat, and then on

766
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 16: the field, my studying and taking my practice, reps, is games,

767
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 16: repe and then also learning what everybod lody else is

768
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 16: doing on the field and how do I fit in

769
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 16: that piece that will took it all.

770
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 14: The way over the top right there?

771
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 8: Okay?

772
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 14: Good?

773
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 8: Checking question is were you ever the green dot guy?

774
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 8: And with Rutenberg?

775
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 16: No, I wasn't the green dot guy, but it was

776
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 16: because what his excuse was, because you do all that

777
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 16: running around, I need you trying to catch your breath

778
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 16: on the way back, not.

779
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 14: Talking, gotcha, But I would love to wear the green

780
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 14: dot though.

781
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 4: All right?

782
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 7: Thank you, Quincy.

783
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 11: Uh you know you're you're entering a linebacker room that

784
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 11: has Carson Swessnger, defensive Rookie of the Year.

785
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 7: First of all, have.

786
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 11: Familiar of his game last year what he was able

787
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 11: to do in his rookie year, were you? And then

788
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 11: what are your thoughts on on joining that room and

789
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 11: trying to add a punch alongside him?

790
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 16: I haven't really watched any of his film for real,

791
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 16: other than the highlights I've seen from the NFL. Artheris

792
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 16: that I do want to give him his flies for that,

793
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 16: for receiving that when he entering the league, because it's

794
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 16: only up from here. Me I had figured it out

795
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 16: a little bit later in my career, so be that

796
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 16: he figured it out early in his career. And I

797
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 16: hope you can take well, I'm gonna be here to

798
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 16: make sure he continues to do it.

799
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 14: So I'm excited about that. And then where was your

800
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 14: other question? I'm sorry?

801
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 11: And just you know, being able to be in that

802
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 11: room with him, and what are your what's your excitement

803
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 11: level of adding to a linebacker room that had success

804
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 11: last year that now you get to add your touch

805
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 11: to it.

806
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 14: Oh, my touch is going to be the touch with you.

807
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 16: So that room, just trying to fill the room out first,

808
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 16: so how much quincy that the room can take, and

809
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,760
Speaker 16: then how much quincy that the room is even needed

810
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 16: in the first place, just because it's a great group

811
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,280
Speaker 16: of group of guys already here hard playing and stuff.

812
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 16: So I know we had those conversations about effort, so

813
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,280
Speaker 16: we just got to figure out what other conversations.

814
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 14: That we need to get touched up on. But sure

815
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:47,879
Speaker 14: it is not one of them.

816
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,959
Speaker 11: I also wanted to ask about the defensive line and

817
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 11: like being able to be behind a unit that is,

818
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 11: you know, so dominant and so able to get to

819
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 11: the quarterback, to be able to kind of share in

820
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 11: the responsibilities of of getting there and also in coverage,

821
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 11: Like what's your mindset of playing behind those guys that

822
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 11: the Browns have, especially like a guy like Miles Garrett.

823
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:09,959
Speaker 16: I'm gonna be spending a lot of money on dinner

824
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:11,879
Speaker 16: because i gotta make sure them boys fed to keep

825
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,240
Speaker 16: the lineman up off of me. So that's my mindset

826
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 16: right now as I'm walking through these off walking through

827
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 16: the rooms now, just also seeing these the type caliber

828
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 16: people we got in the d line and stuff like that,

829
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 16: I'm be spending a lot of money because long as

830
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 16: they keep me clean, we're gonna be good.

831
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 7: Hey, Quincy, I just wanted to ask about going through

832
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 7: the shoulder injury last year and how you came out

833
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 7: of that, and was it frustrating for you to break

834
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 7: that one hundred tackle season streak that you had going

835
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 7: to have that streak fall off?

836
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 16: Now, that is a question I think about all the

837
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 16: time that no one has ever ever asked me though.

838
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 14: That's crazy. So that did hurt me.

839
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,839
Speaker 16: It hurt me during the process, just because when they

840
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 16: told me I was gonna have to sit out for

841
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 16: five games, and I was like, nah, I feel good.

842
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 14: But the injury that I had was one of those injuries.

843
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 16: That, yeah, you can feel good, but if you take

844
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 16: around here that you might not be good if you

845
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 16: don't give it time to heal. So I'm happy that

846
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 16: they made me take the five weeks. It was very

847
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 16: hard those five weeks not not doing anything, but coming

848
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 16: back from it was very easy, just because I was

849
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 16: eager to play.

850
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:14,760
Speaker 14: I was ready to play.

851
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,879
Speaker 16: The training staff made sure I was strong enough, made

852
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 16: sure that it wasn't no jarring or anything. After the

853
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 16: shoulder injury. There was no breaks or anything. So that

854
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 16: was a blessing. First of all, I want to thank

855
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 16: God for that also, and then coming back from it,

856
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 16: my coaching staff eased me into it so when I

857
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 16: got ready to actually play my start, my starting spot

858
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 16: was available, and when full Speed finished the season had

859
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 16: no problems with it. After She'll have none with it now.

860
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:45,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's why I was going to ask totally fine, Okay, awesome,

861
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 7: thank you.

862
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 16: So much, little shoulder test to make sure show the mobility.

863
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 6: Hey, Quincy, did you when free agency started, did you

864
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 6: expect to land here or how did that come about?

865
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 12: All?

866
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 4: Right?

867
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 16: So in free eight, I ain't really expect. Nothing I

868
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 16: said was I'm going to play on the team. Now,

869
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 16: all I need to focus on what can I control

870
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 16: my body and how I show up ready for that team.

871
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 16: So that's all I had focus on. I let my

872
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 16: agent do what she does. Shout out to Nicoleon, she's

873
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 16: a wonderful agent. And then I let the universe be

874
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 16: the universe. I prayed about it, but other than that,

875
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 16: I ain't really had no thought on it until Monday,

876
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 16: and when I first got that call, the crazy thing.

877
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 14: The first person to call me was Rudy.

878
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 6: And then when you're talking about last year, would you

879
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 6: describe it is a frustrating season for you, I know,

880
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 6: things that go the way you want it as a team,

881
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 6: and does that give you motivation coming here?

882
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:37,919
Speaker 16: Last year is one of those seasons where I felt

883
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 16: like I didn't even play football.

884
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 14: So it's kind of like why I want to.

885
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 16: Keep it at It's already overwere moving forward, new team,

886
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 16: new colors, new everything right now is like I do

887
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 16: is to change?

888
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 14: Is green in my hair?

889
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 16: Really, I'm over there still thinking about it because the

890
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 16: green is because I'm the joker, not because I played

891
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 16: for the Jets.

892
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 14: But it's just too close for comfort.

893
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 4: Thank you.

894
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:58,919
Speaker 14: Hey, I actually need that club. You know, that's gonna

895
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 14: be a club equency.

896
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,800
Speaker 17: You know, obviously Rudy stepping into you know, his first

897
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:07,879
Speaker 17: role as the defensive coordinator, and he's obviously taking over

898
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 17: for a really respected DC and Jim Schwartz. I'm just

899
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,479
Speaker 17: knowing what you know about him, you know what gives

900
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 17: you confidence that he's gonna step into that role, you know,

901
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 17: from position coach to a coordinator and you know, have

902
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 17: it be like a seamless, seamless transition with him calling

903
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 17: plays and everything.

904
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 16: Not to be cocky. But his first thing he did

905
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 16: was come and get me. That's the most important thing

906
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 16: he did. I was gonna make sure you keep him

907
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,760
Speaker 16: living headed. So I know he's going to be positive

908
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 16: and every single thing moving this year.

909
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 14: We feed off each other. That's the main thing.

910
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 16: So make sure he's good the same way though, I'm

911
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 16: gonna be good. But with that also, I'm gonna push

912
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 16: him the same way he pushes me. And with me

913
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 16: being me pushing him, I would hope that the other

914
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 16: players will feel comfortable enough to have this conversation with

915
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 16: him too. And like I said earlier, when there's communication

916
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 16: on all phases of a team, it were hard to

917
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 16: beat because we all know where Waii is and we

918
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 16: all know what we're playing for.

919
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 5: Two questions real quick here, Quincy, if you don't mind,

920
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 5: And the first one is in looking back again, just

921
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 5: very briefly to last year, just in relation to how.

922
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 16: It's I just want to ask this today going to

923
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 16: be the last day that I get questions about the

924
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 16: New York Jets though, even though I bet I'm good

925
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 16: with that last one.

926
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 5: Here we go, Okay, So the question is, and it

927
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 5: is as it relates to this season, just in reading

928
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 5: up about last year, you know, I saw that you

929
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 5: were demoted. It was actually right before the Browns game

930
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 5: when the Browns came up to play there, So you

931
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:34,280
Speaker 5: were demoted and obviously that that had to be really

932
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 5: difficult for you. So how does that moment in time

933
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 5: inform you know your approach to this season. Are you

934
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 5: vowing to like never let that happen again, or how

935
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 5: did that impact your game?

936
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 16: So I'm going to be completely honest right now. I

937
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 16: haven't been completely odist because I didn't want it to

938
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 16: be a distraction during the season. But the reason why

939
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,800
Speaker 16: I got demoted wasn't because of performance at all whatsoever.

940
00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 14: If you look at the game before, I actually perform

941
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 14: very well.

942
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 16: But what actually happened was me and a coach got

943
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 16: into a conversation about something that he felt like he

944
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:10,720
Speaker 16: didn't agree on, and he used his I mean used

945
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,799
Speaker 16: his power and set me down and I only set

946
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 16: out for three plays. So it was just so I

947
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 16: didn't get to start, you feel me, because if you

948
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 16: actually look at the rest of those games, I was

949
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 16: actually on point. I guess wait, we played the Browns,

950
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:26,959
Speaker 16: so yeah, yeah, I go back and watch that game.

951
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 16: So I was already mentally prepared and everything. It was

952
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 16: really just you're not going to start type mentality. So

953
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 16: I played the rest of the game, only set out

954
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:34,919
Speaker 16: three plays and nothing else.

955
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 14: I played the rest of the season, started the rest

956
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 14: of the season.

957
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 16: But I really felt like I did it captured the

958
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 16: story early and I didn't feel like it's gonna get

959
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:43,839
Speaker 16: that much blow up.

960
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:45,919
Speaker 14: But I see that it really did.

961
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 16: But now I can talk about just because it's not

962
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 16: a distraction anymore and the season is over with. But

963
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 16: it had nothing to do with my performing. I mean,

964
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 16: I performed that game, and I performed the game out

965
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 16: there in the game before, but yeah, I just need

966
00:43:57,920 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 16: that question a lot. And I was like, oh, it

967
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 16: really blew up.

968
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 5: Well, I remember you having a good game against the Browns.

969
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:05,319
Speaker 5: I think it was eight tackles, three quarterback hits something.

970
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 16: Yeah, me, I was playing off a raige because I

971
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 16: didn't practice the whole entire week because he was trying

972
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 16: to prove a point. So that Monday kind of felt

973
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:14,919
Speaker 16: kind of stupid because I didn't practice the whole week

974
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 16: and I still came out and balled out, so that

975
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 16: means I didn't need you.

976
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:19,760
Speaker 5: And then the other question.

977
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 14: Yeah, let's not put that in there.

978
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 5: Please the other question real quick. And you touched on

979
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:31,360
Speaker 5: this a little bit in an earlier answer, but just specifically,

980
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 5: I'm just wondering, what do you think of now that

981
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 5: you get a chance to actually play with Miles Garrett.

982
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 5: What do you think of the game? How excited are

983
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 5: you to play with him and help compliment.

984
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 7: What he does.

985
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 14: I don't have no thought on until I see it

986
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 14: in person.

987
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 16: I got to see it in person because right now

988
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:49,640

989
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 16: it to myself so I see it in person.

990
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:53,080
