1 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 1: Good afternoon from Barrea. I'm Jason Gibbs, Nick Shook to 2 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:16,599 Speaker 1: the left of me, to the far left of me, 3 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: Andrew Gribble. We have reached the bye week. Really, we're 4 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: ten games in if you count the four preseason games, 5 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: so the bye week right at the very middle of 6 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: the two thousand nineteen season. Unfortunately, the preseason doesn't count 7 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: regular season wise. We are now two and four after 8 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,559 Speaker 1: a tough loss to the Seahawks yesterday thirty two to 9 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: If you would have told me at the start of 10 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 1: the day you would turn the football over four times 11 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 1: and you would get a punt blocked, and yet still 12 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 1: have numerous chances to win this one. I might have 13 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: had a sip of whatever you were drinking. But yet 14 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: here we are, the Browns, right in the thick of 15 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: things and just falling short in one of those games 16 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: that whatever hair I have left on my head I 17 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:06,040 Speaker 1: continue to pull out. Don't don't look for anything, Gribble. 18 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: A rough one yesterday at First Energy. Yeah, and you 19 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: can argue they made as many self destructive decisions and 20 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: moments in the game as they did Week one against 21 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 1: the Titans. But the Titans blew you out and then 22 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 1: in the second half and you you lose by thirty. 23 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 1: This one was a reflection of how well you started 24 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: going up twenty to six, playing nearly flawless offensive football 25 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: for this team, uh and really putting yourself in a 26 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: position to be up by two scores at halftime. And 27 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 1: that truly as crazy as that second half got. The 28 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: game swung in the in the first half and it 29 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: went from a too potentially two touchdown lead to a 30 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: two point lead that could have easily been a tie 31 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: at Seattle converted on the two point conversion. So it's 32 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: just a game can really be effect in the first half. 33 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: There were so many opportunities in the second half. I 34 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: don't think enough is being made at the fact that 35 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: this team had the lead with nine minutes to go 36 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: in the game, and that part of the game is 37 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: not getting really focused on that. This the ox Tables 38 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: just drive down the field, but this is a team 39 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: where everyone's going to focus on the offense, on the quarterback, 40 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: and there was still there was enough self destruction on 41 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: offense to have lost you this game. Yeah, it feels 42 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: like one of those games where you look in in 43 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: the hours immediately after and maybe for a couple of 44 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: days will feel this way, especially since this is the 45 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: bye week, so you don't get a chance to immediately 46 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: get back on the horse and go after it again. 47 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: It just feels like one of those games where you 48 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: wasted a great opportunity because of the start that you had, 49 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,239 Speaker 1: because of the crisp week of practice that we heard 50 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: about that That was the first thing that Freddie mentioned 51 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: after the loss was we had a great week of preparation, 52 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 1: was our best week of preparation this entire season, and 53 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,359 Speaker 1: they played like it. And so you think about, well, 54 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: if you had all these things going in your in 55 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: your favor and you jumped out to a twenty six 56 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: lead and everything you're firing on all cylinders, and then, 57 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: like Gripple said, you talk about that that last you 58 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 1: know sequence there just before halftime where you're deep in 59 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: their territory and you're looking to really really score a 60 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: definitive touchdown that might you know, end up winning you 61 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: the game. I mean, you go into halftime up fifteen 62 00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: against a good Seattle team and you're still rolling with 63 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: all the momentum, and you come out and continue that 64 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: in the second half. You know you're looking at a 65 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: big victory, but you'll let them back in the game, 66 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: which you know, as we know, that's all you gotta 67 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: do in football as the road team, and as the 68 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: trailing teams get one or two breaks, and all of 69 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 1: a sudden you're right back in and and and especially 70 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: a team like Seattle that's veteran, laden, that's got the 71 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: experience and knows how to win on the road. Yeah, 72 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: and then you know the last point Gribble made, which 73 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: is that the Browns were still ahead by three points 74 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,959 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. But at that point I felt, 75 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 1: you know, this is ultimately what happened, but I felt 76 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 1: that the defense had done so much to try to 77 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 1: keep you in the game, even as they gave up touchdowns. 78 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: They were kind of putting adverse situations, the turnovers and 79 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: everything else, not helping them out at all. Then once 80 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: they took the field, at that point, all I felt 81 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: inside was, Man, they've been on the field a lot 82 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: today and it's gonna really take something special for them 83 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: to keep them from going down scoring. Unfortunately, they went 84 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: down scored a rough day. In general, there were some positives. 85 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: We'll get to those as we go on. Uh. On 86 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: the offensive side, let's start with with Baker Mayfield after 87 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: the game is saying, if we don't hurt ourselves as 88 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: team can go anywhere we want. Your week six, you're 89 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: still hurting yourselves when mental mistakes with costly turnovers. Baker's 90 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: got eleven interceptions in six games. Um, just at what 91 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: point do you stop shooting yourself in the foot. And 92 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: that's the part I think that is maddening. Is and 93 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: you know the interceptions, they are what they are, the 94 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 1: guys trying to make plays. And I won't I won't 95 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: criticize him for that. And at least clearly he's all 96 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: about trying to make a play and if the interceptions come, whatever. 97 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: The man doesn't seem to care about numbers. He's just 98 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: trying to make plays for your football team. But you 99 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: know the fumble by Chub and you know the drop 100 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: by Hilliard and then the penalties at crucial times. They've 101 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 1: got to get it cleaned up. And I don't know 102 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: how you clean up those type of things. Yeah, the 103 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: two numbers that are just the worst to both in 104 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: this game, and then you look back, is that the 105 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: Browns now have three interceptions in the red zone for 106 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: the season, which is worse than the league. Uh. And 107 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: then this past game, you had four possessions where you 108 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: entered Seahawks territory and came away with no points. I mean, 109 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: sometimes you didn't get as far as the other ones, 110 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: but I mean to get in their territory and then 111 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: just come away with nothing. There was a lot of 112 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: potential Austin Cybert field goals left off the field in 113 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: this one. I mean, there was just ways to kind 114 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: of pad this lead, even if it wasn't a touchdown. 115 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: That just turned into nothing for this team. And I 116 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: think that's that's why they think there's so much potential, 117 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: because you watch what they did these first few drives. 118 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: They know what they're capable of, and that's what makes 119 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: these these moments so frustrating. I Mean, even when things 120 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: are going well, it just takes. It takes something like 121 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: Odell getting bumped off his route and and throwing an 122 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: easy interception. That's the second time that's happened this season 123 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: on a play. The other times with Jarvis Landry against 124 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: the Ravens. It's just these things keep piling up, and 125 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: it really seems like they're just at the worst possible 126 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: in the game. They They've overcome a lot of these 127 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: turnovers and to get back with the defense. The defense 128 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: was good, seemingly after these turnovers. It was these additional 129 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 1: drives that the defense wasn't good. I mean, look at 130 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: all of the Seattles scoring drives. They they had to 131 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 1: go most the length of the field for most of 132 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: these these scoring possessions. I mean, they had to settle 133 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: for field goals on some of the turnovers. But this 134 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: was when that was when Seattle got cooking. Was when 135 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: they had to go se yards. Yeah, I mean, and 136 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson did a great job of that mean, 137 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: that's why he's an m VP candidate. He did a 138 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 1: great job of pacing this offense. And you know, as 139 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: we're all learning today and learning late last night that 140 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: you know, he even engineered a touchdown drive with a 141 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: helmet that wasn't working. You know, He's just calling plays 142 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: and a lot of them looked pretty similar, and but 143 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: it was working. I mean, this is a guy who 144 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: has a mastery of this offense. He's he's been to 145 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: Super Bowls before. I mean, this is a top level opponent. 146 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: And the positive side I think in this whole situation 147 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: is you we're kind of going blow for blow with 148 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 1: that caliber of a player. I mean, this is a 149 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: good football team that they overperformed I think last year, 150 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: and I think they're playing up to their capabilities this year. 151 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: They're five and one. Uh, they're in a great position 152 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: now in a really tough division, and you went to 153 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 1: to tell with them for the majority of this game. 154 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: So I mean, I think this happens when you have 155 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: a culture change, you have a coaching staff change, and 156 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: you're not over the hump yet, but you're starting to 157 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: get closer. This team has felt like it's flirted with 158 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: getting over the humper. It's like peeking up over the 159 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: hill to see what's on the other side, and it 160 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: just hasn't taken that next step to get to the 161 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: top and really get things going. This felt like probably 162 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: the closest we've seen them come, even more than the 163 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: Ravens game. The Ravens game, obviously you win't by you know, 164 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: fifteen points and you dominate the game, but it wasn't 165 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: the same as going against a team like this where 166 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: you had to overcome a lot of things. And yeah, 167 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: they didn't come away with the win. They lost by 168 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: four points, and they probably could have won if they had, 169 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: you know, capitalized on one of those opportunities. But again, 170 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: we're only six games into this season. They're still an 171 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: opportunity I think to turn things around. And I don't 172 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: think turning it around is really that far. We're not 173 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: doing a one eighty here to get things going. It's 174 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: it's more like a forty five. You know, it's a 175 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: slight step or a slight turn, one in one direction 176 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,239 Speaker 1: or another. I think we're closer than people realize. And 177 00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: when you watch those games, you just see those little 178 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: is in between, were like almost there, almost there, and 179 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: you hope that it would get going, uh soon. Listen 180 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: that the team on the other side of the field 181 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: was the case for experience and continuity. I mean they've 182 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: they could have easily. You look back at just one 183 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: little move they got ridiculed for how they other offensive 184 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: play calling happened in the playoffs with Brian Schottenheimer. They 185 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: run the ball way too much, not letting Mussell Wilson 186 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: do that. They kept all the continuity in place, and 187 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: look at how that offense is is humming now. I 188 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: mean that everything about this team they've they've changed, They've 189 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: overhauled so many players on this team. They've the quarterback 190 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: has just constantly gotten better and better each year. They've 191 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: arguably gotten worse at wide receivers since last year they 192 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: lost Doug Baldwin, who was one of the best receivers 193 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: in that in that team's history. Uh, their offensive line 194 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: was a mess yesterday, but yet they still find ways 195 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: to win because it's a it's a cultural consistency. Everything 196 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: about the Seahawks has been consistent over the years, and 197 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: that's how they're able to win games like that. I 198 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: heard a lot of John Clayton appearance is in the 199 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 1: lead up to this game this week, and he kept 200 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: emphasizing the same thing about the way Pete Carroll has 201 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: established a culture there, and it's a culture of you know, 202 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 1: you want to play football and play well, but you 203 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: also won't have fun. He talks about how he's got 204 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: an area where he plays one on one with with 205 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: guys when they want to sit down and talk and 206 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: and they'll you know, play the five or played a 207 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: ten or whatever. I mean, He's always having some type 208 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: of fun and making it light for those guys. So, um, 209 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: that's the type of thing that comes because you're comfortable 210 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: in your position and you're confident in what you can do. 211 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, you've been to a couple 212 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: of Super Bowls and can back it up. And obviously 213 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: the Browns aren't there yet because this is Freddy Kitchen's 214 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: first year. But hopefully if he's got a long enough runway, 215 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: he'll be able to establish something like that. If is 216 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: the big question. Yeah, so that only he can determine that. 217 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: Everyone talks about the Patriots being a goal as what 218 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: you want your franchise to be. The Seahawks are pretty close. 219 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: I mean, they've they've had some disappointing finishes, they've even 220 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,199 Speaker 1: had some down years in between uh some of these 221 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: great years, but they're always back in it. They're always 222 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: a tough from Super Bowl. And again, you just took 223 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: that team for basically sixty minutes. You had it out, 224 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: You had the ball down four with an opportunity to 225 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 1: go down there and take the lead. Did to pay 226 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: out that way, No, but you had that opportunity and 227 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: you had to overcome a lot to get there. So 228 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: I'm telling you it's not We're not. Things are not 229 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 1: as dire as they might feel like they're in an 230 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: emotional loss like yesterday. I think it just sucks because 231 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: you've got to sit on it for the next two weeks. Yeah, 232 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: that's the same. It's it's the same feeling you had 233 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: against the Rams. I mean, we talked abou how good 234 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 1: the Rams were at that moment. They're not very good 235 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: right now, but you just had so many opportunities to 236 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: win that game. And it's like the feeling that you 237 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 1: think of, like, what if you just won that game, 238 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 1: how good would that feel? It would feel like you 239 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: did when you beat the Ravens of Baltimore, and you 240 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: want to have that feeling over and over again, and 241 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: just too It's it's one of those things where if 242 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: you look at it, like like Nicko was saying, you 243 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 1: look at you. You hung with one of the best 244 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 1: teams in the NFL, and you you maybe should have won, 245 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 1: but you really you were you played pretty well to 246 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: even be in that position. But it's more of the 247 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: thought of what could have been. And O'Dell's references multiple 248 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: times and he said, it's a good thing that you're 249 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: now feeling sick about these kind of losses instead of 250 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: being like, well, well, the Browns did good enough to 251 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: hang with them, that's good enough. I mean, that's not 252 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: good enough anymore. When you have this kind of talent, 253 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: you've got to you've got to maximize some of these 254 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 1: opportunities because there is going to be the inevitable stinker 255 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: that you put out there, like you did against Even 256 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,719 Speaker 1: as you look at this stretch down the schedule, you 257 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: look at some of these games you've got lined up 258 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: against some teams that aren't as good as the ones 259 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: you've already faced, there might be a stinker down there 260 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: at some point that you lose, lose the game you're 261 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: supposed to win. That's what makes these games you you 262 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: want to steal so important. Yeah, no, no question. So 263 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: that's the offensive side. Were you surprised no, Hollywoodhiggins yesterday, 264 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: who was active for the first time. Slightly, But I 265 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: think coaching wise, it made some sense because you know, 266 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: the Seahawks are one of those rare teams the NFL 267 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: that stays in their base defense more than they go 268 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 1: to nicol So I think if you're going to run 269 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: against a third linebacker, but you think, well, maybe let 270 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 1: me get my receiver out there and be a mismatch, Well, 271 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 1: Ricky Stills Jones is basically a receiver in a tight 272 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: ends body, and we saw how it paid off. For him, 273 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: especially early, I mean a touchdown catch you and other 274 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: catch earlier than that. I mean it made sense, and 275 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: especially the formations they're going with. You know, you want 276 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: if you're gonna go trips to the right and you're 277 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: gonna have a tight end out there, that type of 278 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: personnel package, you're just gonna flex him out and he'll 279 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 1: serve as your fourth receiver. I mean it's it wasn't 280 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: that big of a deal, but you do wonder, you know, 281 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: when is we start going to be able to be 282 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: allowed the opportunity to get involved and contribute to this 283 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: football and the snap still tell the truth? Now, Ricky 284 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,079 Speaker 1: Seals Jones your number one tight end. I mean he 285 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: played forty seven snaps yesterday. When you lined up with 286 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: two tights to start the game, it was Farrell Brown 287 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 1: and Ricky Seals Jones. I mean, this is the guy 288 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: that has them, to joke, whose skill set that the 289 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: other guys don't. And Parall Brown has been a better blocker. 290 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: So I think that's that's where you're at right now 291 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 1: at that position. So I would only expect his role 292 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: to continue to increase. Me he played forty seven snaps yesterday. Uh, 293 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: najok who was usually in the sixties plus territory. Maybe 294 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: it gets there by the time you play New England. 295 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: Three catches yesterday, forty seven yards, including that thirty one 296 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,319 Speaker 1: yard touchdown. That looks pretty pretty darn spanking. He's somebody 297 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:00,839 Speaker 1: that you have to account for as a defense. I 298 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: sure that helps open things up for other guys. You know, 299 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: it makes sense. On the defensive side of the football, 300 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: there were they. I thought they were better obviously than 301 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: they were in the San Francisco game. Still gave up 302 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 1: a ton of yards, but when you needed to stop, 303 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: the defense seemed to rise to the occasion. After they 304 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: got after the Browns offense got stopped at the one 305 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,359 Speaker 1: yard line. Uh. That first possession of the second half 306 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: I thought was huge because see, after what had happened 307 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: with the interception, Seattle goes down the field, runs a 308 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: two minute offense and they get to score before halftime, 309 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: and then you got to play defense again to start 310 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: the second half. There were moments the defense played better. 311 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: You gave up some yards, you gave up some some 312 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 1: big plays. You gotta cut out the mistakes, but overall, 313 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 1: I thought a better effort than we've seen obviously on 314 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,079 Speaker 1: the Monday night game. Yeah, a couple issues to point out. 315 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: I thought, first off, I thought it was a little 316 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 1: too easy for Seattle to run the ball. Even this 317 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 1: is this was not San Francisco's attack, but they didn't 318 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: hit you with the big plays that that the Ns did. 319 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: But it was too many six games, six yard games, 320 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: eight yard games, things like that, setting up a lot 321 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 1: of second and shorts, third, third and ones. That was 322 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: I think, and I think that's been an issue at 323 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: the running game this season. I even thought it was 324 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,959 Speaker 1: an issue. You did pretty well against the Ravens all 325 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: things considered with their rushing attack, but even mark Ingram 326 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: had too many of those like six to eight yard 327 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: games throughout the game, and really the only forced them 328 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: to stop running once you got that fumble. You got 329 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: the fumble this game too, but it didn't turn turn 330 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: the game the way it did against the Ravens. Secondly, 331 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: I thought this was maybe the first game where you 332 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,479 Speaker 1: missed your starting corners. I thought that dk m Metcalfine 333 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: and Jared Brown and Tyler Lockett were tough matchups for 334 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: this group, and with the way that Wilson extends plays, 335 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: that's that's going to expose your corners a little bit more. Uh, 336 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: And I thought that this might have been the first 337 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: time you missed those guys a little bit. Uh. It 338 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: looks like you'll get them back for the Patriots. I 339 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: thought that was most glaring in that final drive when 340 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson led them down and scored, because you know 341 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: when he gets outside the bock and he he gets mobile. 342 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: We heard from the guys all week he had a 343 00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: plaster nearest guy, he had a plaster to him and 344 00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: he switched to mand. Well, your two best man corners 345 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: were not playing, and each time that they completed a pass, 346 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: he was usually by a receiver breaking office route, because 347 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: what you're doing is and he's rolling out to the right, 348 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: and the whole flow of the play is going that way. 349 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: And then eventually I'd get to that last third of 350 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: the field and one of them would break back inside 351 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: and he was just a half step or a step 352 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: ahead of his defender and that's what allowed him to 353 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: get open and complete the pass, keep the ball moving, 354 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: eventually get down to the one yeard line before they 355 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: pounded it in. So I think if you have a 356 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: Denzel Warder, a greedy Williams who is who are very 357 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: good man corners. Um, perhaps they would have made a 358 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: play there. It was amazing to watch because we'd heard 359 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: all week when Russell starts to scramble he doesn't like 360 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: to run. Now, but everything changes and you could see 361 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: it if you go back and look everybody. Everybody's route changes. Yeah, 362 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: everybody knows what to do when he goes to the 363 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: X side of the field, whether it's the right side, 364 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: where he goes to the left side. Everything, it's like 365 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: there's two plays in one. They have another play if 366 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: he decides to go with a a certain direction. Sheldon talked 367 00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: about it. Richardson talked about it because you know, he 368 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: spent a year there, and he said that they have 369 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: periods and practice where they will practice that exact situation 370 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: where they will run plays and and intentionally bail him 371 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: out so that they can then have a second situation 372 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: to work with and and I mean it paid off 373 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: for them there. Special teams wise, Uh, we actually we 374 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: had some moments the return game, the arrival of the 375 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: return game and Dontrelle Hilliard leading things off right from 376 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: the get go. Uh. Some good things from special teams 377 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: getting a punt blocked first time, that's happened this year. 378 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: That was like that was a little concerned. Are you 379 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: concerned at all with Cybert missing the p a t 380 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: in a part of the stadium that got real windy yesterday? No, 381 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: I'm not. And I thought that was a byproduct of 382 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: just that that area of the stadium at that point 383 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: of the game. It got better as the game went 384 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: on to Uh, so I'm not too worried. He still 385 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: doesn't mr field goal yet this year. Uh, And I 386 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: still I don't think any of the play calling and 387 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: reflected this, but I don't think there's any kind of 388 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: loss of confidence in what he was to do. So 389 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: I thought, you know, you're gonna have a punp blocked 390 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: here and there. Hope it never doesn't happen again. It 391 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: only cost you three points on this occasion, so h 392 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: a bullet dodged there. And then, uh, you know his 393 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: his other punt was fantastic on this, I mean, a 394 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,719 Speaker 1: sixty one yard or really played the winds as well 395 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: as possible. And then you were also on the the 396 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 1: the positive end of a terrible punt that's set up 397 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: your go ahead touchdown. I mean, and this guy that 398 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: was one of the best punters in the league. Uh 399 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: and Michael Dixon. So overall a solid effort from your 400 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: special teams. You don't like to see a punt blocked, 401 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: but I think it makes up for the fact that 402 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 1: he had a seventy four yard kick return, which is 403 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: so hard to do with the new rules of special teams. 404 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: It's funny. We're sitting in the press box early in 405 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: the game and me and Gripple are talking about what 406 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 1: we were watching the warmups. He said, Yeah, I watched 407 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: Dixon send one off the side of his foot for 408 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: like five yards, so I'm thinking he's one of the 409 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: best punters in the league. And then the fact that 410 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: he goes down the same thing, Yeah, I couldn't. I 411 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 1: when I saw it happen, I was like, that wasn't good. 412 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: Like this guy is supposed to be incredible, and he 413 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: was like one of the best in the league last 414 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: year with his directional kicks, but he had one that 415 00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: was terrible in warmups, and that one wasn't much better. Actually, 416 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: considering the circumstances, I think I almost think he was 417 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: thrown off because it looked like their unit was thrown 418 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: off by the fact that the Browns went full block, Yeah, 419 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: because they were making a lot of adjustment before the 420 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 1: snap and I wonder if that threw him off or something. 421 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: But they didn't even bring that much heat. I don't 422 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 1: even think they came close to blocking it. But it 423 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 1: was it was to the Browns benefit. And it really, 424 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: as much as people are just handwringing the whole situation 425 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: over the Jarvis Landry touchdown that should have been, it 426 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 1: was completely irrelevant when it came down. You got the 427 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: ball right back and you scored in two plays, so 428 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: you overcame that bit of adversity. It was just the 429 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 1: other parts of the game just did not overcome. Ye. 430 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 1: Luckily that was erace. But um, you know, a friend 431 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: of the Pod, Phil Dawson, always watches Brown's games and 432 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: his active on Twitter during Brown's games. So uh, he 433 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: saw that first miss kick on the part of uh 434 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: of Jason Myers care for the Seahawks, and he said, hey, 435 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: you know, once you get down there, and he because 436 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 1: they somebody sent him a picture of the flag from 437 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: the broadcast, the corner flag, you know, in the southwest 438 00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: corner of the stadium that he had put into to 439 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: gauge the wind. And you say, that's the stiff ninety 440 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 1: winds are probably about three miles an hour. He showed 441 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: his whole equation everything that you talked about when he 442 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 1: was on the podcast, and uh, and he said, yeah, 443 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: you gotta aim left there. I mean, it's it's just 444 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,120 Speaker 1: it's gonna be really tough to kick down there. It's 445 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:16,919 Speaker 1: a nightmare, especially at the end of the stadium. It's 446 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: very windy like that. So no, I can't blame Austin 447 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 1: for that at all. And he recovered nicely later to 448 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: make another extra points. So tough kicking day. It affected 449 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 1: both of them obviously. But yeah, strange is a strange 450 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: game and kind of a strange special teams game because 451 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 1: we haven't seen much out of the return game until Sunday, 452 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: and and I don't know if any of us really 453 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,160 Speaker 1: expected Don't Roll Hilliar to rip one off to start 454 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: the game. Uh. Mike Preefers talked about how they've really 455 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: wanted to spark for them so far. Uh, So it 456 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: was nice to see that. But yeah, just kind of 457 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: a just fit with the whole strange nature of the 458 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: entire game. I want to go back to the defense 459 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 1: real quick. Where are the turnovers? Got one yesterday? Got 460 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: a full more recovery. But the inter I mean, the 461 00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: various Randall has more sex than he does intersubjects. And 462 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: I mean maybe is that a product of your two 463 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 1: best corners being out um something to that effect. But 464 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: there there is a market difference this year. And I 465 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: know that. You know last year Greg Williams, last two years, 466 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: Greg Williams prided himself on turnovers, turnovers, turnovers. The first 467 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: year Greg Williams, there was there was no turnovers. There 468 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: was just playing thirty yards back. But you take a 469 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 1: look and there just doesn't seem to be as many, obviously, 470 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: And I don't know why that is. Is that a 471 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: product of the injuries? It just it That's one of 472 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 1: those things that just kind of you scratch your head 473 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: and you go, we really could use a few more 474 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: of these. I mean, I think it's a combination of 475 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 1: a few things. I think not having gredient Denzel effects that. 476 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 1: I also think that you've played a pretty good selection 477 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: of quarterbacks the last two especially are I mean, Jimmy 478 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: g is a is really he's he's gotten to the 479 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: he's getting the dubious game manager tag on him because 480 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: he's thirteen and two, which is fantastic, but he's not 481 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: having to do anything spectacular, and Russell Wilson doesn't have 482 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,919 Speaker 1: a pick all season, so it's hard to fault him 483 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 1: too much in that the weeks three and four is 484 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: when you got a bunch of them and it kept 485 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 1: you in the game and won you a game in Baltimore. 486 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,479 Speaker 1: So hopefully it's one of these things where they come 487 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: in bunches. And truly, last year, you've got almost all 488 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,199 Speaker 1: your turnovers in the first half of the season when 489 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: you weren't playing very well on offense. The second half 490 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: season you weren't weren't producing nearly the same level. So 491 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's sometimes these things are flukey. 492 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: Sometimes these things are weird. The problem is is your 493 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: margin is terrible, and that's because all the turnovers you 494 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,640 Speaker 1: have on offense. Yeah, and that's how you lose football games. 495 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: But I do can, you know, kind of want to 496 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 1: emphasize again that I think that this schedule, when we 497 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: look back and when it's all said and down, we're 498 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,439 Speaker 1: gonna realize how tough this these first six weeks and 499 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: really the first eight weeks of the season, because New 500 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: England's coming up and they're obviously undefeated, uh have been 501 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: for this team, and how they were kind of up 502 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 1: against it early, but it's not gonna be entirely true 503 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: for the entire season. So, you know, a lot of 504 00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 1: the hand ring we think about, you know, why aren't 505 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: they reforming up to the standard or whatever. I think 506 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: they're playing some really good opponents so far. Yeah, I 507 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: mean that's we all looked at it at the start 508 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: of the year and said, this is kind of a gauntlet, 509 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,640 Speaker 1: and it has lived up to every week. I think 510 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: I think it's been even tougher than we imagine. Yeah, 511 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 1: no question about it. All right, So the guys are 512 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 1: in the building today briefly watching film, getting treatment. Tomorrow 513 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 1: they'll be practicing Wednesday, it will be a practice, and 514 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: then it looks like we will be dismissed for the 515 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 1: week in terms of the players getting a few extra 516 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 1: days of rest, and and we got some guys that 517 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: are dinged up. But you know, the rest should help 518 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: here a little bit and get everybody back and get 519 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: everybody healthy and go in with a full roster, hopefully 520 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: to New England here in two weeks. Yeah, you almost 521 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,959 Speaker 1: wonder how much does Baker Mayfield do this week because 522 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 1: he played through some pain yesterday. I haven't talked about 523 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 1: that much yet, but he definitely that's his most pain 524 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: as he's had to play through in his in his 525 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,199 Speaker 1: NFL career so far. So you wonder, I mean, if 526 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 1: an injury serious enough to send you the locker room, 527 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: that's a serious injury. So we'll see what he's able 528 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: to do. But I wouldn't expect him this any time, 529 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: but this is going to be something that might be. 530 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: We'll take a few days off. Yeah, a part be 531 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 1: a visible participant. Now. You gotta practice squad quarterback now 532 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: so you can keep things moving. Yeah, exactly. Plenty of 533 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 1: snaps to go around for three other quarterbacks or two 534 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: other quarterbacks, I should say. Uh, any other final thoughts 535 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: before we before we close the close of the book 536 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 1: on the first six games of the season. Uh, and 537 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: get ready for our bp A State of the Browns 538 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,439 Speaker 1: coming later this week. A lot of football left. This 539 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: team should have a better record than it does. Two 540 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,199 Speaker 1: and four is not where you wanted to be, not 541 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,679 Speaker 1: where you should be. The one encouraging thing you can 542 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: take away from this is the Baltimore Ravens have won 543 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: four games. Your two games back of them. They have 544 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,400 Speaker 1: played the Dolphins, they beat the Dolphins, the Bengals, the Steelers, 545 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: and the Cardinals. You still have that, You still have 546 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 1: to You have a combined six games left against those 547 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: four teams, plus one more against the Ravens. The season 548 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 1: can turn. It has. There's a team, there's a couple 549 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: of teams per year who have a record similar to 550 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:06,919 Speaker 1: this and then go on to run and find themselves 551 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Hope is not lost, but you've got 552 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: to turn around quickly. I believe it was the Giants 553 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: in what two thousand seven or eight, the one that 554 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 1: upset the Patriots and the Super Bowl of the undefeated 555 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 1: Patriots that went on a similar run to close the season. 556 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: So feeling better listening to these two because I was 557 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,640 Speaker 1: a little angry today. It's tough. I mean, the way 558 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: that they lost yesterday was was tough because you saw 559 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: how close you were. But I think you should be 560 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 1: encouraged by that. But I think you should be encouraged 561 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 1: by the way the schedule lines up in the second half. 562 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: But like you said before the tape we taped, I mean, 563 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: this schedule is not as easy as we thought it was. 564 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: I mean a couple of teams are getting better. The 565 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: Steelers and Broncos are both getting better, especially on the 566 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, which is maybe if you're 567 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: looking at where this team struggled, it's against the really 568 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: good defenses. Uh. And those are two defenses playing very 569 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: well right now. So what you hope is is those 570 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 1: teams have improved. This team also improves and uses the 571 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 1: bye week to do that. Alright, came out like Gangbusters 572 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 1: last you aft to the bye week. This is true. 573 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: And there were moments yesterday that reminded you of the 574 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 1: Kansas City game where the offense was clicking and they 575 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: just didn't have enough defensively to slow down the Kansas 576 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 1: City machine going you know, before Atlanta. But then you 577 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: have a big win against Atlanta going into the by 578 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 1: and it gave you a momentum. There's there are some 579 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 1: similarities when you take a look at last year and 580 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 1: this year in the way this is. This is rolling. 581 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: Let's hope it continues on the upward trend though.
