24
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,440

Speaker 3: You will get ready.

45
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 4: That's it. Like it's weird, nervous a little bit. I

46
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 4: don't Thursday night games scare me. But like on paper,

47
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 4: we are a better team.

48
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 2: Oh my, get we're over a touchdown favorites. Our defense

49
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 2: should suffocate them. We'll get into the matchups and we'll

50
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: talk about that in a second. But here are the

51
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 2: scenarios for the Cleveland Browns win and you're in. You win,

52
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,839
Speaker 2: you punch your ticket to the playoffs. If you win

53
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: and the Ravens win, the Browns are locked into the

54
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 2: number five seed. You win, Ravens win, Brown's locked into

55
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 2: the five seed. Now, if the Browns, we'll just focus

56
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: on those. The other scenario that I want to talk

57
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 2: about is the one seed still in play. Here's what

58
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 2: it takes. Browns win, both Ravens lose both so Miami

59
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 2: this week and then I believe.

60
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 3: It's Buffalo that noble.

61
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 4: Oh no, I'm sorry, uh Pittsburgh, right, Pittsburgh, Sorry, I

62
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 4: got Miami.

63
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: And then Miami needs to beat the Ravens this week,

64
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 2: lose to Buffalo in week eighteen. If all of that happens,

65
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: the Browns would be the one seed. But it starts

66
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 2: by going one to oh tonight, punching your ticket. And

67
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 2: if you are punched and the Dolphins don't beat the Ravens,

68
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 2: you have an opportunity to be locked into that five

69
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 2: seat and opportunity to rest, you know, some guys there in.

70
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 4: That final week.

71
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: If people are beating up and speaking of Amari Cooper

72
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: coming off of that historic two hundred and sixty five

73
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: yard performance against Houston Texans, Tom Pelliserra reporting this morning

74
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 2: that Amari Cooper set us up in the air. He

75
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 2: is hopeful he can play tonight. Obviously it's tough on

76
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 2: a short week, but he's gonna have plenty of time

77
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: to rest it after this. I think he's gonna go.

78
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: I mean I think I think he's gonna go. And

79
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 2: I think it's an important thing. I think that you

80
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: could see as the Browns, if the Browns get up,

81
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 2: I could see him going to the sideline early in

82
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: this one.

83
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 4: Absolutely, But it's it is primetime, it is under the lights.

84
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 4: Every player gets ready and gets up for these games.

85
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 4: I don't see anything keeping him off the field. I

86
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 4: would be shocked if he doesn't play like this is

87
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 4: big tonight, like this is the eyes of the and

88
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 4: the football world are on you. Yeah, you're the only

89
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 4: game in town. You're the only game in the league

90
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 4: and you have you have a chance to do something

91
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 4: really special. Thursday night footballs, for the most part, have

92
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 4: been pretty good for this football team. Yep, yep, we

93
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 4: unlocked fridges on a Thursday night, Oh baby against the Jets. Yeah,

94
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 4: against the Jets.

95
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 2: By the way, Brown's had a chance to clinch the

96
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 2: playoffs in twenty twenty against the Jets but.

97
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 4: Could not do so. Or a whole wide receiver room

98
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 4: was not playing wiped out.

99
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 2: We had guys off the practice squad come in and

100
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 2: play that game, and we're our leading receivers in that one.

101
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 3: But the Browns have this team not in that scenario.

102
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 3: You have a chance.

103
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 5: Sorr.

104
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 2: If you're minors tonight mentioned white out, wear white, make

105
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 2: sure your Browns app is updated till you can participate

106
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 2: in the whiteout ceremony or celebration they're gonna have at halftime.

107
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 2: Get to the game early. Get there early. Trust me,

108
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 2: you're gonna want to be there early. You're gonna want

109
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 2: to make sure you're in your seat for the introductions

110
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: and for the dog Pound Captain.

111
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 3: And then I.

112
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: Need you to be loud. I need you to rattle.

113
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 2: Trevor Simeon, Trevor Simeon. Trevor Simeon is not stopping us

114
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 2: from going to the playoffs. You better that does not happened. No,

115
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 2: he cannot, he must not. Let's go. This defense didn't

116
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 2: allow a point. They didn't allow the Texans inside their

117
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 2: own forty yard line. The number one defense. That's the

118
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 2: type of performance I want tonight from this defense. I

119
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 2: think you've got a great opportunity to limit an offense

120
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,559
Speaker 2: that did not complete a pass.

121
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 3: Let me say this again. The Jets in their victory.

122
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: Over the Washington Commanders did not complete a pass that

123
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: went ten yards in the air. They were nine for

124
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 2: nine or eight for eight on screens for about eighty yards.

125
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 2: We've got to be careful for the screen game. But

126
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 2: we right now we can stop this team. Trevor Simeon,

127
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 2: just a little spoiler alert, listen, he's working behind. The

128
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: Jets have started twelve different offensive line combos, most in

129
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 2: the NFL. They are not good. They allow pressure at

130
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 2: the second highest rate in the NFL. Trevor Simeon under

131
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 2: pressure this season twenty seven percent completions, two point four

132
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 2: yards per attempt, no touchdowns, two interceptions, and a quarterback

133
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 2: rating of a robust seven point five sounds.

134
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 4: Like something I might be able to pull off. As

135
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 4: the elect I feel like we could do that. Yeah.

136
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 4: I mean you've seen the ball I throw. It's not pretty,

137
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 4: not pretty.

138
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 2: I feel like I could do that. Two picks seven

139
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 2: point five, you can throw a pick.

140
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 4: I could throw pick absolutely two of them. Yeah, who knows, back, I.

141
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 2: Don't have to complete many passes. I mean, really, I don't.

142
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 2: I just throw a couple of screens. It'd be great.

143
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 2: So that's the scenario. Those are the scenarios, those are

144
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 2: the stakes. Obviously, it is a big one. It is

145
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 2: a battle of two very very good defenses and the Browns.

146
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 2: Obviously would Joe Flacco have been the number one passing

147
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 2: offense in the National.

148
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 3: Football League since Week thirteen. Everybody had that.

149
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 2: Everybody saw that coming a mile away, guys averaging three

150
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty one yards in his last three games.

151
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 3: Although I will tell you this might be a little

152
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 3: bit tougher.

153
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 2: The Jets are giving up sixty percent completions to the

154
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 2: quarterbacks one hundred and eighty five yards passing per game.

155
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 2: They have not allowed a three hundred yard passer this season.

156
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: So if Joe Flacco throws for three hundred. Not only

157
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 2: will it be the first three hundred yard passer against

158
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 2: the Jets this season, he'll be the first Cleveland quarterback

159
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 2: with three hundred plus yards passing in four straight games.

160
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: The Jets have only allowed three quarterbacks with more than

161
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 2: two hundred yards passing in their last nine games, and

162
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 2: they've only allowed one quarterback with two passing touchdowns in

163
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 2: their last ten games. Flaco's thrown for at least two

164
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 2: touchdowns in every game. In fact, the ten touchdowns he's

165
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 2: thrown for in his first four games here most in

166
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns franchise history, also most in the National Football League.

167
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 3: So that's where we're at.

168
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 2: We got the Browns, we got the Jets an opportunity

169
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 2: to earn that second season in front of the home crowd.

170
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:11,680

Speaker 2: we might even have a little exclusive interview for you

194
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 2: as we continue to roll on here. So those are

195
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 2: the stakes, Brown's Jets, Browns Jets. All it stands between

196
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 2: the Browns and clinching a berth in the playoff are

197
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 2: the six and nine New York Jets. The Jets won

198
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 2: last week in dramatic fashion. We know that we still

199
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 2: don't know what's going on with their kicker situation.

200
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 3: Right with Greg Zerline, we do not.

201
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 4: We've elevated some people on our end yes advance of today's.

202
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 2: Game, and we have not seen any such things come

203
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 2: out of Jets camp yet.

204
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 4: I am checking now because Airline's good.

205
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 2: Zerlines having you talk about a guy having a heck

206
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 2: of year, Dustin Hopkins having a heck of a year.

207
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 2: So zurlin Zerline on the season's thirty for thirty one,

208
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 2: his only miss was from fifty plus. He's ten for

209
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 2: ten from forty to forty nine, five to six from

210
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 2: fifty plus, so he's right there with Di Hop Dee

211
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 2: Hops thirty three of thirty six and de hop is

212
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 2: eighteen of twenty one from forty plus, Zuleine fifteen of sixteen.

213
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 2: So he's been very, very good former Pro Bowl kicker

214
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 2: in his own right now. If you think about this

215
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 2: one for the Cleveland Browns, the Jets, they have lost

216
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 2: six of their last eight, but they've won two of

217
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 2: their last three. They beat the Houston Texans thirty to six,

218
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 2: and I believe was that the game that knocked CJ.

219
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 4: Stroud out, I think so. Yeah, Oh yeah, it was

220
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 4: in New York.

221
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, yep. They smoked the Texans.

222
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 2: They lost to the Dolphins thirty to nothing the very

223
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 2: next week, and then they beat the Commanders. They have

224
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 2: not won on the road in a long time since

225
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 2: they beat the Giants back in Week eight.

226
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 3: But that's not even a road game, and that's at home.

227
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 4: Correct.

228
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 2: They've not run truly on the road since they beat

229
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 2: Denver in Week five. Other than that, all l's on

230
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 2: the road. So the Browns I feel pretty darn good

231
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 2: about the opportunity to get this one done.

232
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 3: But you've got to go out.

233
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 2: You've got to execute, you've got to take care of

234
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 2: the football. You cannot let what happened on special teams

235
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 2: a week could go happen. Remember, this is a Jets

236
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 2: team that blocked a punt a week ago against the

237
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 2: Washington Commanders. They blocked a punt. So we've got to

238
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 2: be about it. And we've got new punters, new kickers.

239
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 2: Our new punter, Matt Hack out of Arizona State, in

240
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: his seventh seasons kit four hundred and twenty nine punts

241
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 2: for his career, forty four point five yard average, thirty

242
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 2: nine point six net. How does that compare to Corey

243
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 2: Bijorkez a little bit off. Cory bork has forty nine

244
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 2: point five average for his career though forty seven point

245
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 2: one net forty one, so he's a few yards shy

246
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 2: of what Bjorkiz can do. He's very good at getting

247
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 2: inside the twenty one hundred and sixty punts inside the twenty,

248
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 2: but he has had a punt blocked three times in

249
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 2: his career, won each of the last two seasons. And

250
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 2: so this Jets team, which just blocked a punt a

251
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 2: week ago, that's something that the Browns are gonna have

252
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 2: to be very cognizant of.

253
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 4: And of course they're wearing punter and kicker friendly numbers.

254
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 4: A Hack wearing number thirty nine, Patterson wearing number thirty six,

255
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 4: wasn't thirty nine? Money Mitch money, Mitch, oh my, oh,

256
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 4: we need some good luck there, Yeah, we need the

257
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 4: money money. Yeah.

258
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 3: Listen.

259
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 2: And Riley Patterson's a professional Kicker's kicked in the league

260
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 2: the last three years he's been. He's been a very

261
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 2: good kicker. You know, this year ten for ten from

262
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 2: thirty to thirty nine, two for two from forty to

263
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 2: forty nine one of two from fifty plus he's fifteen

264
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 2: to seventeen. You'd have a miss from twenty to twenty nine,

265
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 2: which you don't see very often, and thirty five of

266
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 2: thirty seven on p eighties. He does not have a

267
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 2: big leg on kickoffs. Only two touchbacks all season. He

268
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 2: really wasn't the kicker there. But touchbacks on thirty three

269
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 2: percent de Hop fifty touchbacks on seventy seven kicks. So

270
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 2: we're gonna have to be on that return game. That's

271
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: gonna be something that's gonna be very, very important for

272
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 2: the Cleveland.

273
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 3: Browns in this game.

274
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 2: But I go back, Yeah, they have blocked punt on

275
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 2: Washington's second possession, the Jets came out interception on the

276
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 2: first possession, block punt on the second possession, and really

277
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 2: kind of we're off to the races now.

278
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 3: They were up at one point in they game twenty

279
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 3: seven to seven.

280
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 2: Correct, let them come all the way back and in

281
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 2: fact take the lead twenty eight to seven thanks to

282
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 2: Zobe Brissette, and then they got the zero line fifty

283
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 2: four yarder to walk it off. But I'll tell you,

284
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 2: I think Riley Patterson's a pro. He's there's gonna be

285
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 2: some pressure because we've seen greatness. Dustin Hopkins has been great.

286
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 2: I hope for him very much so that his first

287
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 2: extra point and his first feel goal just go right

288
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 2: through the uprights, and then everybody can exhale a little bit,

289
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 2: because I know our fans get a little chippy if

290
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 2: when kicks are missed. We've then unfortunately, we've had to

291
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 2: deal with a lot of that in the past. So

292
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 2: hopefully not tonight. Hopefully tonight we are good.

293
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 4: Just get out to the lead, step on the throat

294
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,240

00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 4: by eight o'clock. Yes, it's gonna be a magical night.

314
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 4: There are a ton of surprises planned, there are a

315
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 4: ton of things planned. Get in and get to your

316
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 4: seats early. I even busted out the white polo.

317
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 3: And dressed in white.

318
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 4: Let's go, And the white polo does not suit me. Well, well,

319
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 4: inevitably someone's gonna need something, maybe Jets Radio needs something.

320
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 4: I don't know, and I'm gonna be like under a

321
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 4: table running wires and just coming out and ruining the

322
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 4: white polo altogether. But the white polo will be onto.

323
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 2: That's right, As Prevat said, Dog Pound Captain. That's classified.

324
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 4: It's gonna need.

325
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 3: A no basis.

326
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 4: Clearly I do not need to know. Which is fine.

327
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 4: I believe one Brad Mellon, equipment Manager of the Year.

328
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 4: His daughter will sing the national anthem again tonight and

329
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 4: by the way, great pipes. Yeah, we will carry that live.

00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, good, of course you will. Of course we will.

00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 3: Well, look we're close.

340
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 2: We're getting closer every minute. We're a minute closer to

342
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:27,680

349
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:51,200

375
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 2: Browns Now Live in Ohio. Talk about the Browns offense

376
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 2: against the Jets defense. It is a very good Jets defense,

377
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 2: by the way, which we have talked about already quite

378
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,479
Speaker 2: a bit. They are the number two in passing defense,

379
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 2: number four in total yards are the Jets. In fact,

380
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 2: they've been one of the most elite defenses in the

381
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,959
Speaker 2: National Football League. The Jets have an opportunity to, you know,

382
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 2: win on the heels of their defense. That's what they've

383
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 2: been very, very good at. They have been good in

384
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 2: the red zone. They are good at taking the football away.

385
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 2: They are a good defense. As we talked about passing

386
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 2: total all that. Now you go to the other side

387
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 2: of the ball. They are dreadful on offense. But we'll

388
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 2: get to that matchup in a second. So how do

389
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 2: the Browns attack this defense? Well, they are allowing one

390
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty six yards rushing per game. However, they've

391
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 2: not allowed one hundred yards to running backs, or they've

392
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,479
Speaker 2: only allowed two one hundred yard games, but they have

393
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 2: not allowed one hundred yards rushing to a running back

394
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 2: in four straight games. As far as quarterbacks go, no

395
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 2: three hundred yard passers this season. Three quarterbacks over two

396
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 2: hundred yards in the last nine game, six in the

397
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 2: one hundreds or lower. One quarterback with two or more

398
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 2: passing touchdowns in the last ten games.

399
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 3: That is it.

400
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 2: Upfront, They've got Quinn Williams, pro bowler, leads a team

401
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 2: with eighteen hits. He's got fifty eight pressures on the season.

402
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 2: Solomon Thomas has five sacks. Johns Franklin Meers has three

403
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 2: and a half sacks, Jermaine Johnson six and a half sacks.

404
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 2: Bryce Huff eight sacks to lead the team, although he

405
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 2: does not have a sack and last four games. So

406
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 2: they get to the quarterback. They generate pressure, and pressure,

407
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 2: as we know, makes things very difficult. The pressure rate

408
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 2: that they generate forty one point nine percent third the

409
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 2: Browns are second forty three percent. So they get after

410
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 2: the quarterback and that's some of the Browns have to

411
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,479
Speaker 2: be ready for. They've got two great linebackers CJ. Moseley,

412
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 2: the five time Pro Bowler, and Quincy Williams. They are

413
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 2: having an incredible season this year. Williams the only linebacker

414
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 2: in the NFL with one hundred and twenty plus tackles,

415
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 2: fifteen tackles for loss and ten or more passes defense.

416
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 2: He's having a career year. Moseley, next to one, leads

417
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 2: with one hundred and thirty seven tackles. He's got a

418
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 2: pick in seven passes defense. So they have good cover linebackers. Now,

419
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 2: you can still get after those linebackers, but they are

420
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 2: good cover linebackers. The back end, it's all about SaaS Gardner.

421
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 2: He's got no picks nine passes defense this year, but

422
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 2: teams are not really trying him. He's given up just

423
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 2: fifty eight percent completion seventy eight point seven rating this year.

424
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 2: The safety Jordan Whitehead, He's got four interceptions, a career high,

425
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 2: but you can get him in coverage sixty five percent

426
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 2: completions one hundred and two rating in coverage. Michael Carter

427
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 2: the slot has been the third best slot corner in

428
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 2: the league. Greg Newsom in that top two. Carter fifty

429
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 2: seven percent completion seventy four rating allowed Tony Adams the

430
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 2: other safety seventy percent sixty two rating, and then DJ

431
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 2: Read sixty three percent eighty three point nine rating. That's

432
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 2: what they allow on cover. So it's a good defense.

433
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 2: Browns are gonna have to hit some big plays. It's

434
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 2: gonna be hard to kind of matriculate the ball down

435
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 2: the field. But the Browns have got to get this

436
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 2: running game going. The Browns have been stopped at or

437
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 2: behind the line of scrimmage on more runs than any

438
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 2: team in the NFL. Jerome Ford has the second most

439
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 2: stops on Zo's plays in the NFL. They have got

440
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 2: to get this offense going and get it going a

441
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 2: little bit on the ground because you've got to keep

442
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco protected. You get into obvious passing situations. They

443
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 2: can cover on the back end, they can come get

444
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 2: after the quarterback. They do a good job of mixing

445
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 2: up their man coverage and their zone. They play man

446
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 2: thirty three percent, that's eleventh most in the league, so

447
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 2: they're one third man, two third zone, and then they

448
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 2: mix up. They're pretty much fifty to fifty single high

449
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,959
Speaker 2: and split safety. So this is a team that has

450
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 2: a lot of different defenses. They play on the back end,

451
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 2: whether it's quarters, whether it's cover two, cover three, man one.

452
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,479
Speaker 2: They can play a lot of different things and they

453
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 2: are very good at all of them. The Browns have

454
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 2: got to find a way to be efficient running, stay

455
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 2: ahead of the sticks, and make big plays. Now, they

456
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 2: have been the toughest on wide receivers in the NFL.

457
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 2: Nine catches one hundred and five yards per game, four

458
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 2: touchdowns of wide receivers, both lowest in the NFL and

459
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 2: the catches in the yards for game, but they've allowed

460
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 2: seven one hundred yard receivers and they've been the big names,

461
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill, Jalen Waddle, AJ Brown, CD Lamb. So it's

462
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 2: obviously very important to have Amari Cooper, who has been

463
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 2: so good for the Browns this season, in search of

464
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 2: his third straight one hundred yard game, which would give

465
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 2: him six on the season, which would be a new

466
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 2: career high. You know, this one means a lot to

467
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 2: Elijah Moore. I can tell you that he's the guy

468
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 2: that's going to get a lot of DJ Reid. That's

469
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 2: a matchup that you need to see Elijah Moore and

470
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 2: Cedric Tillman win against DJ Reid, And I think when

471
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 2: Tilman's on reed five to nine DJ Reid sixty three

472
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 2: Cedric Tillman. That's a good hype matchup for maybe some

473
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 2: contested catches for Joe Flacco to put it up there

474
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 2: for said or even Amari Cooper on the other side

475
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 2: if he gets read, who's just five to nine and

476
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty pounds giving up a lot of

477
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 2: size to Amari Cooper. So that's the matchup on that

478
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 2: side of the ball for the Browns comes down to

479
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 2: protecting the football, protecting the quarterback, and getting some push

480
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 2: up front. What's really happened is the interior of our

481
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 2: line is still very good Potonio Posak, White Teller, especially

482
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 2: in running the outside the tackles. That's where this Cleveland

483
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 2: Browns team has struggled trying to run the football, and

484
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 2: a lot of it is because you know, you look

485
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 2: at where they rank. This is a Pro Football Focus

486
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 2: ranking of where are tackles rank and pass blocking left

487
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 2: tackle Christian forty one out of forty two, James Hudson

488
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 2: thirty eight out of thirty nine, everybody else Potonio Teller

489
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 2: posk top ten at their position. So that's what the

490
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 2: Browns have got to find a way to do is

491
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 2: get that ground game going and then so you can

492
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 2: protect Joe Flacco and not put him in obvious passing situations.

493
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 3: Now you clearly don't need the ground game to be going.

494
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 2: So our ground games have been anemic while Joe Flacco

495
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 2: has been the quarterback in the play action game has

496
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 2: still been great.

497
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 3: That's one of the biggest misnomers in the world.

498
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 2: Flaco averaging two point nine yards per attempt on play

499
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 2: action that's best in the NFL one hundred and thirty

500
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 2: eight ing second best in the NFL, and Browns and

501
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,479
Speaker 2: play action thirty point six percent of his attempts that

502
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 2: it's the third highest rate in the NFL. So it's

503
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 2: all about keeping yourself ahead of the sticks, keeping yourself

504
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 2: with a good positive momentum. And the Browns should be

505
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 2: able to handle this team both offensively and defensively. But

506
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 2: one thing, we still got to clean up Flacco seven interceptions.

507
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 2: Now a couple of those not all is fallow vedsamh

508
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 2: hell Mary's at the end of the quarter, things like that,

509
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 2: But we cannot turn the football over.

510
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 3: We are the better team.

511
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 2: If we take care of the football, we are going

512
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 2: to win this game all right?

Speaker 6: I'm doing fantastic Ze, how are you, my friend?

533
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 3: I'm good.

534
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 2: It sounds like you're on a rotary phone, Hoff, like

535
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 2: the old School's when it come back Ago. I don't

536
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 2: know if basbody in the background is chopping wood. I

537
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 2: don't know what's going on. But Hof, since you've come

538
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 2: into town, you're running wild, running wide open. Give the

539
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 2: people a little peak behind the scenes. What's it like

540
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 2: a day in the life of the Hof, Because I

541
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 2: know how serious it must have been, these obligations that

542
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 2: are pulling you in every direction, because we could not

543
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 2: share the gift of lyft together today, and so I

544
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 2: know that that's serious.

545
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 6: Oh man, that was really serious. Yeah, you know, if

546
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 6: me and Z can't get together and pump some iron

547
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 6: and act like a couple of meatheads, it's a problem.

548
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 6: And things have been wide open. There's no doubt. We

549
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 6: did a really cool content segment last night at the stadium.

550
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 6: Took us after midnight, but the theatrics, I think we're

551
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 6: going to be fantastic. If you were anywhere near Cleveland

552
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 6: last night, the fog was rolling into the stadium. It

553
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 6: almost looked like it was pouring over the upper deck

554
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 6: down onto the field, and I was thinking back to

555
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 6: when I played in two thousand and seven in the

556
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 6: snowball with the people in the upper deck, probably couldn't

557
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 6: even see the field it was so foggy last night,

558
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 6: that's what it felt like. So it'll be interesting to

559
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 6: see what the weather's like tonight. I don't think it's

560
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 6: going to rain, which seems to be in the favor

561
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,959
Speaker 6: of the brown since we've got a much better passing

562
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 6: attack than the Jets do. But I think the atmosphere

563
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 6: it really sets up for just a magnificant, magnificant showdown.

564
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 2: It's gonna be unbelievable and for the Browns an opportunity

565
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 2: to punch their ticket into the playoffs with a win.

566
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 2: We know they're in with a Browns win and a

567
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 2: Ravens win, the Browns are locked into the five seed.

568
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 2: With a Browns win and a Ravens loss, those dreams

569
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 2: for the number one seed are still alive. They would

570
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 2: just need both Baltimore and Miami to lose in Week eighteen.

571
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 2: Baltimore the Steelers that might be a little bit tougher,

572
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 2: and the Browns obviously to beat the Bengals in Week eighteen,

573
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 2: and then there's chance the Browns could have the number

574
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 2: one seed, But it all starts with winning this week.

575
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 2: And when you think about the Browns and the Jets,

576
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 2: hoff it's a very good We'll talk about their offense

577
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,199
Speaker 2: a second, but this is a very good Jets defense.

578
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 2: They can get to the quarterback, they can cover, they

579
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 2: have two linebackers playing at a very very high level

580
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 2: in CJ. Moseley and Quincy Williams. What do you see

581
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 2: from this Jets team that's gonna be similar stylistically, Right,

582
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 2: They're gonna play a little more man than Houston did,

583
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 2: but DeMeco Ryans comes right from that Robert solid Tree.

584
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 2: This is gonna be that four man, not a lot

585
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 2: of blitz. Four rushers, seven in coverage, various zone, single high,

586
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 2: middle of the field open, and then some man with

587
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 2: the great Sass Gardner.

588
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's gonna be really interesting. And having the benefit

589
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 6: of playing against a similar defense last week, I think

590
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,479
Speaker 6: the Browns have a reasonable idea of what they're going

591
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 6: to see as far as schematically. But as you know,

592
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 6: both of us are getting ready to do the radio

593
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 6: tonight and you're looking through the film and you're looking

594
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 6: through all the different notes that you get, and you

595
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 6: realize that the Browns and the Jets are probably one

596
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,199
Speaker 6: of the two top defenses in the NFL when you

597
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 6: consider how bad the Jets offense has been and how

598
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 6: often they've put their defense in really, really tough situations,

599
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 6: but the defense continues to rise to the top. They've

600
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 6: got three excellent cover corners, just like the Browns do,

601
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 6: so they can really match up well in the secondary.

602
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 6: They like to play a lot of zone. They've got

603
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 6: an incredible front seven. They're linebackers are some of the

604
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 6: best cover linebackers in the NFL. So it's going to

605
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 6: be tough sweating for the Browns. I think the one

606
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 6: change that you're going to see from the Jets that

607
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 6: typically they don't like to blitz a lot, like you mentioned,

608
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 6: but since the Browns like to run so much play action,

609
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,719
Speaker 6: and I think for the Jets, they realize that if

610
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 6: they want to win this game, you got to do

611
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 6: it with defense and special teams. They got to create turnovers,

612
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 6: you got to create negative plays. I actually think they're

613
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 6: going to blitz a lot more than they usually do

614
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 6: because what happens when you blitz play action a lot

615
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 6: of times, because when you're running play action, you're pulling

616
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 6: guys or you're moving guys off their normal spot to

617
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 6: create stress on the protection, and a lot of times

618
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 6: you have to even get out of your play action

619
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 6: protection because you can't pull guys when the guy that

620
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 6: they're trying to pull for is blitzing, and so you

621
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,719
Speaker 6: have to audible into some type of a seven man

622
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 6: protection and it takes away a little bit of that

623
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 6: run cell that you want. So I wouldn't be surprised

624
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 6: to see Jets defense trying to blitz the Browns offense

625
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 6: to try to get them out of some of those

626
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 6: play actions, try to force some turnovers and to not

627
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 6: allow Joe Flacko to be able to go down the field,

628
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 6: which we all know that's where he's got his best.

629
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's been phenomenal.

630
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 2: You mentioned that the best leads the league in yards

631
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 2: per attempt, second and quarterback rating off of play action,

632
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 2: So that's interesting. That's a potential wrinkle to watch because

633
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 2: one of the things that the Browns have struggled with

634
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 2: obviously is running the football. That has been a problem.

635
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 2: Now Joe Flacco, I think he would welcome the blitz.

636
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 2: A veteran quarterback can identify that and hopefully get the

637
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 2: team into something that would be beneficial to them. But

638
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 2: when you think about, you know, our run game, and

639
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 2: really it kind of is. The interiors maintained pretty good,

640
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 2: but it's been more the tackles and when we like

641
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 2: to run the wide zone, you need the tackles. We

642
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 2: run pinpool on your pull in that front side tackle,

643
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 2: we need the tackles and so far that's been the

644
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 2: struggle point in our run game. What can be done

645
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 2: to address that? What are you seeing through your hawf

646
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 2: eyes when.

647
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 3: That comes.

648
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 6: Well, truthfully, i'd like to see, if you're strong, get

649
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 6: a few more carries. I think it's showing the ability

650
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 6: to be explosive is yeah, and I would love to

651
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 6: see him get outside the tackle a little bit. You

652
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 6: mentioned the challenge of running that outside zone when you

653
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 6: do have a little bit of leakage on the edges.

654
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 6: You know, that's the combination block between your tight ends

655
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 6: and your tackles. But maybe get in some of those

656
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 6: pin pulls when you're running we used to call it

657
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 6: truck right where you run out of the bunch formations,

658
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 6: you've got three blockers that are at the point of attack.

659
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 6: You've got you know, two receivers and a fullback or

660
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 6: a receiver, a tight end and a full back and

661
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 6: they're down blocking and then you get your tackle pulling

662
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 6: around and as long as you get past that initial traffic,

663
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 6: that initial leakage, now you have an opportunity to run downhill.

664
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 6: We ran it a bunch of times with Josh Cribbs

665
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 6: off the Wildcat, a lot of different formations, and I

666
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 6: think kind of like pure Strong, he really has the

667
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 6: opportunity if we're able to create a little bit of

668
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 6: a seal around the edge to be able to get

669
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 6: out in space and to use that explosiveness, that smooth

670
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 6: running style that he has to maybe force some of

671
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 6: the runs on the edges and stretch out that Jets defense,

672
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 6: which the front seven is as good as you see

673
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 6: in the NFL, and I think running up the middle

674
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 6: will be a challenge, even though that's where Jerome Ford's

675
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 6: at his best. But I think a little bit of

676
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 6: Jerome Ford on the inside with some of those inside zones,

677
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 6: maybe just some direct, punch him in the mouth power

678
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 6: type runs, and then maybe trying to get Pierre Strong

679
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 6: on the edge and try to get that run game going.

680
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 6: Protecting the balls at a premium. I mentioned, I think

681
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 6: the Jets realized that if they want to win this game,

682
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 6: they got to get turnovers from the Browns offense. But

683
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 6: being able to run the football and still set up

684
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 6: some of those shots in play action is going to

685
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 6: be so crucial for the Browns tonight.

686
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree.

687
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 2: And Jerome Ford second most carries in the NFL stopped

688
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 2: at or behind the line of scrimmage. Number one is

689
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 2: actually Travis Etn of the Jacksonville Jags. But you know

690
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 2: he's a full time guy. Pierre Strong is not a

691
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 2: full time back, and so that's something that our Jerome Ford.

692
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, he's not a full time back. That's something's

693
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 2: got to get figured out.

694
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 4: I'm with you.

695
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 2: I like Pierre Strong. I think the Browns get a

696
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 2: little bit of a break. Quentin Jefferson went down for

697
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 2: the season two weeks ago. He had six sacts on

698
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 2: the interior and was a big part of the front.

699
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 2: Solomon Thomas, the first round pick in twenty seventeen, he

700
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 2: has stepped in. But it's gonna be tough. You got

701
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 2: to try to run the football in this one. You

702
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 2: gotta protect Flacco. But we know the Browns run defense.

703
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 2: That's one of the big miss numbers is you don't

704
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 2: have to have the ground game going for play action

705
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 2: to be effective. Just look at Joe Flacco's numbers.

706
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 6: Becau.

707
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 2: Our run game has never been worse, but his play

708
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:22,719
Speaker 2: action passing has been very, very effective of late hof

709
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 2: what's made Chief so good? Chief has really just come

710
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 2: into his own and obviously some great chemistry with Flacco

711
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 2: two hundred and thirty nine yards four touchdowns in the

712
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 2: last three games. But he can block for you on

713
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 2: some of your shot plays. We talked about those unique protections,

714
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 2: and then he also can go and make the big

715
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 2: plays himself.

716
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 6: A little feather in my cap there, I'm gonna, you know,

717
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 6: kiss my own butt here for a second.

718
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 3: Go ahead, I'm all not gonna spike itself.

719
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 6: There, It's not gonna spike itself. I love working with

720
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 6: David when I was there on his blocking because he

721
00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 6: was a very willing blocker. He's obviously tremendously powerful and strong,

722
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 6: so he had all the abilities and it was fun

723
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 6: kind of building the foundation for him and seeing him

724
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 6: continue to develop as a great blocker. And that's one

725
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 6: of the things that gets overlooked when you're a tight end, right,

726
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 6: I think unless you have a coach like a Kevin

727
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,359
Speaker 6: Stefanski or a Kyle Shanahan that wants to call out

728
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 6: his tight ends and his receivers for doing a good

729
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 6: job blocking people. On the outside of the Browns media

730
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 6: and Brown fans, they don't realize how good of a

731
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 6: blocker David and Joku is and how much of a

732
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 6: weapon that is, because when you can block, you're not

733
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 6: just a decoy there and teams start to worry about

734
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 6: that run game and then all of a sudden, your

735
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 6: safeties or your linebackers that are responsible for covering a

736
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 6: guy like in Djoku, he who's track of him right,

737
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,280
Speaker 6: because they're so worried about how goody as a blocker.

738
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 6: But really where I think David has excelled and has

739
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 6: really put some distance between himself and some of the

740
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 6: other tight ends in the NFL this season, when the

741
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 6: quarterback's under pressure, they're looking for him because he always

742
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 6: seems to find a way to get open. And the

743
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 6: connection he's got with Joe Flacco has been, in my opinion,

744
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 6: really really strong because Joe Flacko knows where to put

745
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 6: the ball placement wise, right, We've seen it with Amari Cooper,

746
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 6: We've seen it with David and Joku. He he knows.

747
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,879
Speaker 6: David's a much better tight end catching the ball, going up,

748
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 6: gripping the ball with ten fingers when the ball's over

749
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 6: his head. He was a seventh foot high jumper as

750
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 6: a youth. Ye, and the guy loves the high passes,

751
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 6: and Flacco knows where to give him that football, so

752
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 6: he is effective. But also David's really good after the catch.

753
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 6: He's number two in the NFL with yards after catch,

754
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 6: behind only a great George Kittle in San Francisco. And

755
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 6: so what a weapon he is when you're under pressure.

756
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 6: You dump the ball to him, and you know he's

757
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 6: not just going to turn around and get tackled the

758
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,439
Speaker 6: way Jason Lytton used to. I was just to laugh

759
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 6: with the wife when we'd watched Wit and he would catch,

760
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,959
Speaker 6: you know, one hundred and twenty catches with zero yack

761
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 6: on the entire season.

762
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

763
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 6: But and Joko is the opposite. He gets the ball,

764
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 6: he's in space, and he's a weapon when he's running

765
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 6: in space because of how athletic he is.

766
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 2: So athletic, and it's really a treat to see him blossom.

767
00:35:58,960 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 3: You couldn't be happier.

768
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 2: For him, guy and bodies everything you'd want on a

769
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 2: football team. On the other side, Brown's defense off, this

770
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 2: feels like one where we should absolutely be able to

771
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 2: suffocate Trevor Simmon. He didn't complete a pass of more

772
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 2: than ten yards in the air last week. In fact,

773
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,760
Speaker 2: only attempted five out of his forty nine pass attempts

774
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 2: went more than ten yards in the air. We can

775
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 2: plate that tight coverage on the outside, We've got the

776
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 2: pass rushers. I gotta feel like he's going to try

777
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 2: to get the ball out quick. Kind of similar to

778
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 2: case Keenum, and it was disastrous for Case. Keenum was

779
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 2: averaging about four yards an attempt three and a half

780
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,799
Speaker 2: yards an attempt and was actually benched in that game.

781
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 2: It feels like the brown should be able to do

782
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 2: something similar this week to Simi, and especially with all

783
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 2: the changes and struggles of the Jets offensive line.

784
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly right. The Jets passing game, it's puchy. Really,

785
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 6: it doesn't matter who the quarterback has been in there.

786
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 6: They can't throw the ball on the field. They're checkdown artists.

787
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 6: I think we were looking at the stats yesterday. I

788
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 6: was a rood for the game. I couldn't even believe it.

789
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,879
Speaker 6: A third of their passes are not beyond the first

790
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 6: down six, which is yep, which is kind of amazing,

791
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 6: or excuse me, two thirds thirty first in the NFL.

792
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 6: So basically, all they're doing is just trying to complete

793
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,879
Speaker 6: the pass and not turn the football over, so they're

794
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 6: throwing it short. They're not really giving their guys much

795
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 6: of a chance. Really, outside of Garret Wilson, they've got

796
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 6: no pass catchers who really make you concern whatsoever. So

797
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 6: when you're looking at our secondary, when you've got Denzel Ward,

798
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 6: you got mj Emerson, you've got Greg Newsom, like those

799
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 6: guys should have no problem with matchups covering those weapons

800
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 6: from the Jets and give them. Miles Garrett an opportunity

801
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 6: to get off the schneid here and get his first

802
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 6: NAT first sack in over five games.

803
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, you want to see Miles get those sacks, getting

804
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 2: do something. You know, we need three of them here

805
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 2: in the last two games, and I'd say, let's get

806
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 2: that hat trick tonight. Hopefully you don't even need to

807
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 2: be out there on the field, Miles Gearan week eighteen,

808
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 2: so that you can tie Reggie White and do something

809
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 2: that only two players have done once they made sacks

810
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 2: of sack. That's has sixteen or more sacks and three

811
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 2: consecutive seasons, and five weeks ago when he was at thirteen,

812
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 2: who said is impossible, he would not do it. Well,

813
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 2: we're gonna need a big showing tonight. We got a

814
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 2: big showing from Zadarius Smith. What did he see that

815
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 2: he put on tape? Because Zadarius has been around the

816
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 2: quarterback all year. He's got twenty quarterback hits. Miles has

817
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 2: twenty six. But Miles has thirteen sacks a Darius only

818
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 2: five and a half, but two of them last week.

819
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 2: And he also led to that dron Harmon interception with

820
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 2: his hit on Keenum as he threw the ball.

821
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think Zidarius has just been unfortunately misfortunate because

822
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 6: Miles Garrett's just been beetle to the quarterback. But he's

823
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 6: been around the quarterback all year. He's a very powerful player.

824
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 6: He's really good at collapsing the pocket and so he's

825
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 6: affected the rower all season long. And it's just a

826
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 6: matter with Sax, like we talked about with Miles here,

827
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 6: he hasn't had a sack in five weeks, but he's

828
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 6: had thirty pressures in the last five weeks, so he's

829
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 6: right there and sacks. There's a healthy element to luck

830
00:38:58,400 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 6: with the sack. They come in bunches a lot of

831
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 6: times with quarterbacks that want to hang on to the

832
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 6: football where they like to drift one way or the

833
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 6: other when they're in the pocket. And so it was

834
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 6: just fun seeing Ze finally get that sack, get that

835
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 6: stat a couple of times, should have had three last

836
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 6: week except for holding penalty, And for him, I think

837
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 6: he can just kind of build on that momentum, build

838
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 6: on that confidence from last week from finally being able

839
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 6: to get home and with the coverage that we've got,

840
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 6: hopefully that Trevor Simons not just dumping it off behind

841
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 6: the line of scrimmage and realizing that he's trying to

842
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 6: throw the football down in the field, trying to win

843
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 6: the game and give Ze and Miles an opportunity to

844
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 6: wrack up some of those sacks.

845
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 2: If listen, if they're going to try to live on

846
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 2: the screen game, and they were so good against the

847
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 2: Commanders eight for eight seventy three yards on the screen game,

848
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 2: how do we defend that?

849
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 4: How do we stop the screen game?

850
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 6: Well, I think it helps that we're going to be

851
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 6: playing some man coverage. We're a team that likes to

852
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 6: play a lot of man coverage, and we've got the

853
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 6: speed at linebacker to be able to handle a guy

854
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 6: like we saw if you had ninety five yards rushing

855
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 6: on the ground and he had another twelve catches for

856
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 6: ninety six yards receiving, and a lot of those come

857
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 6: on short screenplays, so they're very creative in ways they

858
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 6: want to get him the football. But with Jokay and

859
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:17,240
Speaker 6: the speed that he's got, I think it really plays

860
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 6: into our defense's hands to be able to cover him

861
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 6: no matter where he goes. And certainly you get what

862
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 6: you emphasize as coaches, and this week the emphasis is

863
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 6: going to be on Breeshaul because he's their biggest weapon.

864
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 6: Him and Garrett Wilson. You shut those two guys down.

865
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 6: They really don't have anything going on offense. And for Jokay,

866
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 6: it's all about being able to follow Breese Hall on

867
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 6: the field, seeing where he is, understanding and recognizing the

868
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 6: personnel groupings, the formations, the shifts, and when they're going

869
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 6: to try to get him the football. It's got to

870
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 6: be a priority. It's got to be something that's front

871
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 6: of all of their minds, especially Joka every time they

872
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 6: line up, because that's where they're going to try to

873
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 6: steal some yardage against his ground defense.

874
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,800
Speaker 2: You're exactly right talking with the great hof you already

875
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 2: know that just from listening haf all right, I got

876
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 2: to ask you this environment, what are you expecting tonight?

877
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,359
Speaker 2: The wide out and an opportunity to clinch in front

878
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 2: of the home fans. When the Browns Clinton the playoffs

879
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty, there were ten thousand people there was

880
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 2: the middle of COVID. This time, it's going to be

881
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 2: a full house. How special could this environment be and

882
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 2: what do players think about that? The opportunity to do

883
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 2: it in front of the fans. Well.

884
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,760
Speaker 6: As much as you hear a lot of people grating

885
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 6: about Thursday night games, from a player's standpoint, it is

886
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 6: really hard on your body getting that quick turnaround. But

887
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 6: I think when you have an opportunity to play a

888
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,919
Speaker 6: night game and you know what's at stake, right, you win,

889
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 6: you're in the playoffs, you have a chance to do

890
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 6: it in the last home game, most likely Cleveland brown

891
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 6: Stadium for this season, in front of a Rockets audience.

892
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 6: That's going to be going absolutely bonkers because they know

893
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:50,720
Speaker 6: what's that, They understand what the AFC looks like right now,

894
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 6: and the legitimate opportunity for this team to make some

895
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 6: noise and then through the playoffs. I can't imagine a

896
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 6: better atmosphere. And for the Browns knowing, hey, you in

897
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 6: this game. Most likely you're going to get, first of all,

898
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 6: this weekend off, so you get plenty of rest, right

899
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 6: and then there's going to be plenty of guys that

900
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 6: probably won't play in Week eighteen as an opportunity to

901
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 6: rest up, because for the most likely scenario, it's going

902
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 6: to be a meaningless Week eighteen because you'll already have

903
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 6: probably the fifth seed locked up in the playoffs. And

904
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 6: so for them, they know that, hey, you know what,

905
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 6: I may be a little sore right now, but I

906
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 6: can go all out, balls to the wall because this

907
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 6: is everything for the season right now. This is almost

908
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 6: essentially the last regular season game before you get a

909
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 6: little bit of rest to get ready for the playoffs.

910
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 6: And they know the fans, they're going to be listening

911
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 6: to you and me zee beer water, beer water alternates.

912
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 6: Don't go crazy first thing in the morning. But this

913
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 6: is going to be an atmosphere, an electric atmosphere that

914
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 6: I don't know if I've ever experienced at Cleveland Brown Stadium.

915
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 6: And I just can't wait to walk through those gates

916
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:57,800
Speaker 6: and to look up into the stands and just see

917
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 6: eighty thousand screaming Browns going absolutely bananas.

918
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 2: It's gonna be nuts. Everybody, get into your seats early.

919
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 2: You do not want to miss introductions. You do not

920
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,280
Speaker 2: want to miss the dog Pound Captain. It's gonna be awesome.

921
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 2: It's going to be electric, hof They're calling for a

922
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 2: white out tonight. Brown's in those beautiful throwback uniforms, the

923
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 2: white helmets. It's going to be quite a scene, right

924
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,760
Speaker 2: National TV you mentioned it is. This is a chance

925
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 2: to punch your ticket to make everybody in the National

926
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 2: Football League, everybody who's a football fan, take notice of

927
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 2: the Cleveland Browns because you get a chance to do

928
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 2: it on national television, which I think is a big,

929
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 2: big deal.

930
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

931
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 6: I always enjoyed those standalone games as a player because

932
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 6: you know everybody's watching, not only the fans throughout the NFL,

933
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 6: but you know that all your peers are watching. When

934
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 6: I was a player, I love watching Thursday night football. Right,

935
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:53,280
Speaker 6: get home from a long workday, you fire up the grill,

936
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 6: maybe throw some meat on the grill, a pull up

937
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 6: on the couch, Yeah, have the six Brings farm Hofbeat,

938
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:03,720
Speaker 6: curl up on the couch, and you get to watch football.

939
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 6: It's an early treat looking forward to the weekend, and

940
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 6: it's a special moment for all these guys. And I've

941
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:11,959
Speaker 6: always preferred, actually Thursday a little bit more than Monday,

942
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,760
Speaker 6: because it seems like there's so much football between Thursday

943
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 6: and Sunday night that by the time Monday night comes around.

944
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 6: As a player, you know you're a little fatigue of

945
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 6: playing yourself and then watching. But on Thursday, it's that anticipation, right,

946
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 6: This is the appetizer for the weekend, and you know

947
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 6: that all eyeballs are going to be on you. All

948
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 6: of Cleveland is going to be watching. They cannot wait

949
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,320
Speaker 6: to find out if this team can punch their ticket

950
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 6: to the playoffs. And then you add the atmosphere that's

951
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 6: going to be out there tonight with the light out

952
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 6: and the sweet throwback jerseys. It's going to be electric.

953
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 6: It's going to be dive up like we've never seen before.

954
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:46,280
Speaker 3: It's going to be crazy.

955
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:47,400
Speaker 2: I don't know if you've got a chance talk to

956
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 2: anybody on the team yet, but do you get a

957
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 2: sense like that the locker room or just even be

958
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 2: at the stadium, just any of it like that, The

959
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 2: players get it. The players get what's at stake right

960
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 2: here and just how special this is.

961
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 6: There's no doubt, you know, talking to the players just

962
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 6: a little bit this week, everyone's trying to act like,

963
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:06,879
Speaker 6: you know, hey, just want to know it's just another game.

964
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 6: But they know what's at stake. They know atmosphere that

965
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 6: they're going to play in and the confidence that they've

966
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 6: been building here in the last several weeks, understanding what

967
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,880
Speaker 6: could happen in the playoffs, being you know, that's the

968
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 6: team of destiny. I think they just can't wait to

969
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 6: go out there and play again with each other. It's

970
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 6: a team that really enjoys being out there. They enjoy

971

1040
00:48:58,560 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 2: happened last week?

1041
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 4: Unfortunately you went four and one, I went three and two.

1042
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 4: You are forty four and twenty six. Got good?

1043
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:10,400
Speaker 3: Good, that's good.

1044
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 4: I am forty one and twenty nine, which.

1045
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 3: Is given that would historic play. That's pretty good for you.

1046
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, that could be. That could be a career Yeah,

1047
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,240
Speaker 4: career year from a percentage stamp yep.

1048
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:21,839
Speaker 6: Um.

1049
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 4: So here we go. Paul has hit it over under.

1050
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 4: I'll start with you, mister Segura. Joe Flacco pass yards

1051
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:45,799
Speaker 4: over under two forty point five. Oh, that's a grotesque

1052
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 4: look on your fat.

1053
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:50,319
Speaker 2: They've only allowed three quarterbacks over two hundred yards in

1054
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:56,360
Speaker 2: their last nine games. I'm pretty sure that maybe only

1055
00:49:57,480 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts was He's the highest on the season two eight.

1056
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 2: They've allowed nobody at three hundred two forty. I think

1057
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 2: this is a little bit of defense field position, and

1058
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:08,879
Speaker 2: I could also see us if we have a lead

1059
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 2: stopping throwing. And I think we will have a lead,

1060
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go under.

1061
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:21,359
Speaker 4: There is no way we're going under the way he's

1062
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:23,879
Speaker 4: slinging the ball. No way.

1063
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 3: Don't know about Amari Cooper.

1064
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:31,720
Speaker 2: Given there's gonna be a calm, confident efficient two twenty

1065
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,359
Speaker 2: and two, and we're gonna run it nicely and it's

1066
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 2: gonna be great and by the way, way, but it'll

1067
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:39,799
Speaker 2: be like i'd be, I'm happy to not win this one.

1068
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 2: If he throws for three hundred.

1069
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:44,879
Speaker 4: Again, I'd be thrilled if he throws for three hundred. Yep.

1070
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:49,240
Speaker 4: Let the celebrations commence, all right, number two next over

1074
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:23,560

1075
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:28,799
Speaker 2: Us over, Well, you could be back into it because

00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 2: bunch of checkdowns to Brestall, They're gonna throw it to

1083
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:52,400
Speaker 2: Garrett Wilson. Amari's gonna be on the sidelines because it's comfortable.

1084
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 2: Let him rest his heel there, comfortable, comfortable, comfortable.

1085
00:51:55,280 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 4: I'm going under next over under uh Jets offense over

1088
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,840

1089
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 4: go put plant plant the foot in the sand, plant

1090
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 4: the foot, stomp the foot on the ground. On every level, Oh,

1091
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:31,279
Speaker 4: every level. Get it done. Take Brice Hall out of

1092
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 4: this game, and you probably own the game. Yep, that's

1093
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 4: all right. We both sacks, sax, turnover, takeaways. I don't

1094
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,319
Speaker 4: I don't know who got this last week and it

1095
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 4: was over?

1096
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 3: We both did?

1097
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 4: Did we both get?

1098
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:47,799
Speaker 3: I think I got it was over?

1099
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 4: What was the one you missed? Was it one that

1100
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 4: I got? No?

1101
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 3: No, you missed something that I got?

1102
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 4: Uh, sax and turnovers the number that the Great Bishop

1103
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:02,760
Speaker 4: has given us, five and a half.

1104
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 3: You get to go first. I knew he's gonna get

1105
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 3: five and a half.

1106
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 4: It's I whooping cough over here.

1107
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,359
Speaker 3: It's outragous. Why are you in? Get him out of here.

1108
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:15,279
Speaker 4: He's fine, grub some dirt on it.

1109
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's I'm worried about you.

1110
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:18,360
Speaker 4: Huh.

1111
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:19,719
Speaker 3: I'm more worried about you.

1112
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 4: Hey, Yeah, fine, I'm safe. Come on, I've been coughing

1113
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:24,840
Speaker 4: for like five weeks.

1114
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:26,279
Speaker 3: I finally am over it.

1115
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:32,359
Speaker 2: I feel like I am I finally, am jesus, what

1116
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:33,840
Speaker 2: are your I can't believe you're doing.

1117
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 4: This five and a half. Hey, who knows has your phone?

1118
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 4: They get the ball out quick. I have to go over.

1119
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 4: I have to go over. You're going to win this game.

1120
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 4: I'm over too, I'm over too. Everything's over.

1121
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 3: Let's go well.

1122
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 2: The only one you would did under on was the

1123
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:02,839
Speaker 2: the Jets yard. So everything you've gone, you're all in.

1124
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:06,399
Speaker 2: Yours is a total just brown script. It is all right,

1125
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,840
Speaker 2: and the final is the total over under.

1126
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 4: The total points low balls thirty four and a half.

1127
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 2: Well, seeing is that the Jets are going to score

1128
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:21,360
Speaker 2: I don't know if you can say that two. The

1129
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 2: Jets are going to score zero and the Browns has

1130
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:27,360
Speaker 2: scored twenty four to twenty seven.

1131
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:36,799
Speaker 4: Under, I'm going over. I'm going over all right.

1132
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 2: So if best case scenario for you is that we

1133
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 2: are tied going into the final week, worst case scenario

1134
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:48,680
Speaker 2: for you is that you are down six with only

1135
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:49,359
Speaker 2: five to go.

1136
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:51,800
Speaker 4: That would be awful.

1137
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 3: So you've got on it.

1138
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 2: This is a very You've taken a bold tact and

1139
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 2: I like it.

1140
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 4: Who know, missing from two feet away? Not surprising?

1141
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:07,239
Speaker 2: He's not well, I am calling strodeck over here to

1142
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 2: carve a door out of this glass. You're going to

1143
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 2: be fine straight out this way, not going in there.

1144
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:14,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, thirty four and a half low number.

1145
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:16,320
Speaker 3: It is a low number.

1146
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 2: I just think once we get up fourteen, we're just

1147
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:22,279
Speaker 2: gonna be kind of trying to be content, like, let's

1148
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 2: just run the clock, let's get out here.

1149
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:25,920
Speaker 4: Are we able to do? That is going to be

1150
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 4: the big question?

1151
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:28,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that will that will be that will

1152
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 2: be a big, big question.

1153
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:33,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, why don't we take a break when

1154
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 4: we come back?

1155

Speaker 2: a little uh doronal take us to rich.

00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:46,239
Speaker 4: Well, I'll see if I can turn that anything about

1159
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:47,560

Speaker 2: Welcome back to Cleveland Brown's Daily Game Day, Clinch Day.

1172
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 3: Let's go Cleveland the wide out. Get ready.

1173
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:51,360
Speaker 2: Time now for our keys to the game to beating

1174
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:54,000
Speaker 2: the Jets. Key number one, take care of the football.

1175
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:56,279
Speaker 2: The Browns have had a game without a turnover but

1176
00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 2: once this season. That game they won twenty seven to

1177
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 2: against the Arizona Cardinals, and I could see this game

1178
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 2: being very similar in outcome to that game. That's what

1179
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 2: I think you're looking for for the Cleveland Browns. The

1180
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 2: Browns at home have given up more than twenty points

1181
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:15,600
Speaker 2: just once this season. They've held their opponents to three

1182
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:19,040
Speaker 2: Week one, three Week three, throw out the Ravens game.

1183
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 2: I throw that one out that doesn't count against the

1184
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 2: Niners seventeen points in Week number six against the Arizona Cardinals,

1185
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 2: zero against the Steelers, ten against the Jags twenty seven

1186
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 2: Bears seventeen. This is a defense that I think will

1187
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 2: be electric. So just take care of the football in

1188
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 2: this one, don't turn it over. And on special teams

1189
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:40,320
Speaker 2: key number two. We can have what happened last week.

1190
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 2: You can't have a kick return for a touchdown, and

1191
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 2: they've got a dangerous return man who has already taken

1192
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:46,919
Speaker 2: one of the house. Y'all remember back in week one

1193
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 2: when Xavier Gibson went sixty five yards to the house

1194
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:55,000
Speaker 2: for a walk off punt return touchdown. We cannot allow

1195
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:58,640
Speaker 2: that in this game. And we cannot allow a blocked punt.

1196
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:02,000
Speaker 2: They blocked one last week. Our new punter, new situation,

1197
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 2: can allow a block punt, can't allow a block kick.

1198
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:07,439
Speaker 2: We have got to be at least neutral on special teams.

1199
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 2: If we take care of the football, we're neutral on

1200
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 2: special teams, we will win this game. The third thing

1201
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 2: that I'm looking for offensively is we have got to

1202
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 2: establish some kind of a running game to kind of

1203
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:23,360
Speaker 2: shorten this game, squeeze the football and give some a

1204
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:26,120
Speaker 2: break to our tackles in pass protection, and give Joe

1205
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:27,280
Speaker 2: Flacco a little bit of a break.

1206
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:28,480
Speaker 3: I know that he wants to have a big game.

1207
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 2: Elijah Moore wants to have a big game, but We've

1208
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:32,040
Speaker 2: got to run the ball a little bit, whether that's Ford,

1209
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:34,680
Speaker 2: whether that's Pierre Strong, whether that's Kareem. We've got to

1210
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:36,240
Speaker 2: get the ground game going a little bit. And then

1211
00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:39,120
Speaker 2: when they have the football, stop Brese Hall, put Trevor

1212
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 2: Simmons in obvious passing situations, turn up the pressure and

1213
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:46,520
Speaker 2: the Browns will absolutely win and dominate this game, all right.

1214
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 2: The Friday forecast, presented by Carrier. Carrier turned to the

1215
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 2: experts tempts. In the forty degrees and cloudy, it can't

1216
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:57,880
Speaker 2: ask for much better in late December. Honestly, I think

1217
00:58:57,880 --> 00:58:59,560
Speaker 2: you're right about that gibe. It looks like the rain

1218
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:02,560
Speaker 2: should hold off and we will be just fining down.

1219
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 2: There could be a very cool looking environment. Get a

1220
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:07,160
Speaker 2: little bit that fog going again. Was very nice again tonight.

1221
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 2: It's a wide out where your white Make sure your

1223
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:14,680
Speaker 2: white out show at halftime number two. If you don't

Speaker 2: be airing the game tonight locally in the Greater Cleveland area,

1226
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:26,600
Speaker 2: and finally get to the game early. We have an

1227
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:29,640
Speaker 2: unbelievable dog Pound captain, We're gonna have great introductions. We

1228
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:33,440
Speaker 2: need this place rocking from the first second. Let the

1229
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 2: Jets know they have come to the wrong place. They

1230
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 2: have come to a stadium that has no interest in

1231
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:42,680
Speaker 2: seeing their success, in fact, the stadium that is there

1232
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 2: to see their demise.

1233
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:49,440
Speaker 4: Let's show the NFL what kind of fan base we are. Yes, yes,

1234
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:51,920
Speaker 4: I don't think the NFL is totally sure exactly what

1235
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:53,919
Speaker 4: they have yet in the Cleveland Browns.

1236
00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:56,840

1243
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:14,200

1303
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:20,200
Speaker 2: one of the newer members of the Browns. And we've

1304
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:21,760
Speaker 2: been saying that throughout the season, a lot of guys

1305
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:25,560
Speaker 2: have joined this football team. Deron Harmon, aka the closer,

1306
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 2: three time Super Bowl champion with the new England Patriots.

1307
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 2: Just take me through kind of the process when all

1308
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 2: of sudden he got a phone call and then here

1309
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 2: you were now playing for the Cleveland Browns.

1310
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was. It was crazy.

1311
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:38,480
Speaker 7: The day I got the phone call was the day

1312
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 7: my wife was going into labor to have our fifth boy.

1313
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:44,520
Speaker 7: So I told my agent he called in the morning.

1314
01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:46,680
Speaker 7: I was like, just let me get through this first

1315
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 7: and then we'll make a decision. I also had I

1316
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:52,600
Speaker 7: think it was between the Browns and the forty nine ers,

1317
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:56,280
Speaker 7: so obviously two very good, talented football teams who are

1318
01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:58,360
Speaker 7: trying to make great runs at the end of the

1319
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:00,919
Speaker 7: season and in the end of the day, I think

1320
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:04,920
Speaker 7: just this fit just felt better for me. And I'm

1321
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 7: super grateful for the Brown organization for allowing me to

1322
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:09,800
Speaker 7: be a part of such a special group.

1323
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:11,600
Speaker 3: All right, let's sorry. How's your family doing.

1324
01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:14,520
Speaker 7: They're good, They're good. The baby he's a month now.

1325
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 7: Wife is doing good. We're adjusting. But I mean, for

1326
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:21,959
Speaker 7: all and all, man, life is good.

1327
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:24,000
Speaker 4: Life is really good. It's great.

1328
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:26,000
Speaker 2: Well, it certainly is great to have you on. How

1329
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:28,760
Speaker 2: you know interesting, I know if ironic's the right word,

1330
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:30,840
Speaker 2: or if it was serendipitous that your first game with

1331
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:32,760
Speaker 2: the Browns against the team you started this season with

1332
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:34,520
Speaker 2: the Chicago Bears. You got to get out there. I

1333
01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:36,160
Speaker 2: think you played thirty eight snaps in that one. How

1334
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:37,440
Speaker 2: did it feel kind of just to get back out

1335
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:39,640
Speaker 2: there playing football and then be a part of what

1336
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:43,320
Speaker 2: was an awesome, very typical for this season, Brown's come

1337
01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:45,160
Speaker 2: from behind, crazy win, but sure.

1338
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:46,160
Speaker 4: It was it was great.

1339
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:49,120
Speaker 7: I mean, obviously, you know, I didn't play the actual

1340
01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:51,960
Speaker 7: game in a while, so you know, I had to

1341
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:54,120
Speaker 7: slow myself down a little bit, make sure I got

1342
01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 7: my eyes in the right spot. But I mean, just

1343
01:03:57,240 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 7: the crowd are the playoff feel that you know was

1344
01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 7: out there. Man, I haven't been in this type of

1345
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:09,640
Speaker 7: atmosphere playing in December games that matter since I left

1346
01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:11,800
Speaker 7: New England, So just, you know, being a part of

1347
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:14,200
Speaker 7: that is all I could ever ask for. You know,

1348
01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:16,360
Speaker 7: I've been I've been praying for this opportunity. I didn't

1349
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:19,200
Speaker 7: know what it was gonna look like. But I'm grateful that,

1350
01:04:19,280 --> 01:04:21,160
Speaker 7: you know, I'm here. I keep saying it, but I

1370
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:14,040
Speaker 7: just been it's been super welcoming, you know. And what

1371
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:17,160
Speaker 7: I've realized, you know, being in the league for eleven

1372
01:05:17,240 --> 01:05:20,160
Speaker 7: years and being on championship teams is you know what

1373
01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:24,280
Speaker 7: really wins you those those big games, and you know

1374
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:27,040
Speaker 7: the Super Bowl is the camarade of the team, you know,

1375
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:29,120
Speaker 7: because at the end of the day, you got to

1376
01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:32,520

1377
01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:33,880
Speaker 7: here is second to none.

1378
01:05:33,960 --> 01:05:34,760

Speaker 7: It's a special place, and you can tell that's the

1380
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:39,240
Speaker 7: only way that you know, you can win this many

1381
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:41,960
Speaker 7: games and have all the season and the injuries to

1382
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:45,120
Speaker 7: you know, your best players. Like so it's a testament

1383
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:48,000
Speaker 7: to what obviously A b and Stefanski are doing and

1384
01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:50,200
Speaker 7: the type of guys that they're bringing in because they're

1385
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:51,080
Speaker 7: doing it the right way.

1386
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:52,720
Speaker 2: A lot of people would say the Niners are doing

1387
01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:53,800
Speaker 2: it the right way, and you said it was down

1388
01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:55,479
Speaker 2: to the Niners and Browns. So when you said, why

1389
01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:57,360
Speaker 2: did this feel like the better fit for you?

1390
01:05:57,800 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 7: Well, I just had some familiarity with some of the

1391
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:00,680
Speaker 7: people people that were here.

1392
01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:01,920
Speaker 4: Obviously, Yeah, I knew.

1393
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 7: Bubb would work with him in New England. Bob Quinn

1394
01:06:05,040 --> 01:06:10,000
Speaker 7: is working in the management officsite, so I knew him. So,

1395
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:12,240
Speaker 7: you know, them kind of telling me that, you know,

1396
01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:15,680
Speaker 7: I had the opportunity to carve out a role and

1397
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:18,800
Speaker 7: play that was very exciting. And then you know, I'm

1398
01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:23,040
Speaker 7: not gonna lie. And then just the front, that defensive front. Man,

1399
01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:25,880
Speaker 7: it's it's the best defensive front that I've ever played with,

1400
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 7: you know, It's I never seen anything like that. I

1401
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:32,080
Speaker 7: never seen where the quarterback truly only had two seconds

1402
01:06:32,120 --> 01:06:34,040
Speaker 7: to make a decision. If you don't make a decision,

1403
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:36,800
Speaker 7: somebody's going to be right there. So just you know,

1404
01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 7: the opportunity to play with this front and his defense,

1405
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:41,600
Speaker 7: I mean, the best secondary in the league.

1406
01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 4: I mean, you got you could pick who's gonna be

1407
01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:47,800
Speaker 4: Pro Bowl Award. You know, g k New mariin MJ

1408
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:48,680
Speaker 4: like those guys.

1409
01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:50,600
Speaker 7: I mean, they're just playing at an exceptionally high level.

1410
01:06:50,640 --> 01:06:52,480
Speaker 7: And obviously one and Grant were playing at a high

1411
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:55,560
Speaker 7: level two until the injuries. But man, it's just it

1412
01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:56,800
Speaker 7: just seemed like a match made.

1413
01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:59,560
Speaker 2: Of heavy Well it certainly was because in your second game,

1414
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:02,840
Speaker 2: got an interception right there. Take me through that play,

1415
01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:04,640
Speaker 2: and how good did it feel to go out there

1416
01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:06,959
Speaker 2: and make another player I'm prettyure his twenty fourth career

1417
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:07,880
Speaker 2: interception for you.

1418
01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:10,040
Speaker 3: Awesome, No, it was awesome.

1419
01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:12,400
Speaker 7: You know, just just reading a quarterback, that's all it

1420
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:15,840
Speaker 7: comes down to. Like I said, we understand that quarterbacks

1421
01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:17,640
Speaker 7: don't have much time. You know, they can try to

1422
01:07:17,720 --> 01:07:20,440
Speaker 7: give you those little lookoffs, but you know, at the

1423
01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:22,120
Speaker 7: end of the day, you're gonna have to tell me

1424
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:25,040
Speaker 7: where you're going eventually, and just reading a quarterback and

1425
01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:28,680
Speaker 7: then they're just got a great job of hitting his elbow.

1426
01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:31,960
Speaker 7: The ball was up there, it felt like for fifteen seconds.

1427
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 7: You know, I just wanted to make sure I just

1428
01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:36,080
Speaker 7: reewed it in, try to get Jiggy a little bit

1429
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:38,920
Speaker 7: with it. But eighty five Noah Brown didn't want to

1430
01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:42,040
Speaker 7: get off my leg. So but a tremendous play, but

1431
01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 7: not just by me. But that's the front. I'm telling you,

1432
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:46,640
Speaker 7: that's a defensive line set.

1433
01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:46,920
Speaker 4: You know.

1434
01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:50,560
Speaker 7: Appreciative though, boys, and I know they're gonna keep getting

1435
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:51,480
Speaker 7: after each and every week.

1436
01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:53,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a great scenarius Smith on that when

1437
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:55,760
Speaker 2: we had a monster game for you. So you mentioned

1438
01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:56,920
Speaker 2: this is the first time, and it's so fun for

1439
01:07:56,960 --> 01:08:00,280
Speaker 2: you playing kind of this meaningful December football. And how

1440
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:02,280
Speaker 2: ironic is it that you used to be in New England.

1441
01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:04,440
Speaker 2: Some of those meaningful games begin against Joe Flacco and

1442
01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:07,320
Speaker 2: the Baltimore Ravens, I'm sure. And now here's Joe Flacco

1443
01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:10,040
Speaker 2: leading this team playing out of his mind.

1444
01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:11,560
Speaker 3: How fun is that for you?

1445
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:12,560
Speaker 4: It's amazing.

1446
01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:14,480
Speaker 7: I mean it lets you know that the eyes the

1447
01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:16,920
Speaker 7: old guys can still ball. You know, they're trying to

1448
01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:20,280
Speaker 7: tell us otherwise. But I mean, obviously his story is amazing.

1449
01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:23,360
Speaker 7: You know, he stayed obviously ready, waited for the phone call.

1450
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:26,599
Speaker 7: Obviously the right situation popped up for him, and he's

1451
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:29,679
Speaker 7: just made the best of this situation. I mean, each week,

1452
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:32,960
Speaker 7: everybody in this locker room has the utmost respect and

1453
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:35,679
Speaker 7: the utmost confidence in Joe, and we know he's gonna

1454
01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:37,160
Speaker 7: go out there and play at a high level. So

1455
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:39,280
Speaker 7: happy for him, really happy for him.

1456
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:42,240
Speaker 2: This whole season is wild, and it's amazing how long

1457
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:45,000
Speaker 2: it is and how much has changed. And it's really

1458
01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:47,920
Speaker 2: cool to see guys like you know, Kareem and Joe

1459
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:50,479
Speaker 2: and you just kind of come in here when it

1460
01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:51,920
Speaker 2: didn't look at the start season and you'd be a

1461
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:53,760
Speaker 2: Cleveland Brown and then come in and make plays and

1462
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:55,800
Speaker 2: you're everybody smiling. Everybody I talk to you smile. You

1463
01:08:55,800 --> 01:08:57,479
Speaker 2: guys are But I know winning does that and you

1464
01:08:57,520 --> 01:09:00,280
Speaker 2: know that very well. Three times Super Bowl champion, that

1465
01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:02,000
Speaker 2: kind of So I have one question for you, though,

1466
01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:07,920
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick's leadership style Kevin Stefanski's leadership style any similarities.

1467
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:10,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, I would say the biggest similarity is just you know,

1468
01:09:11,080 --> 01:09:15,000
Speaker 7: the expectation and their accountability. You know, and I think

1469
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:17,639
Speaker 7: that's what you have to have on championship teams. Everybody

1470
01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:21,519
Speaker 7: has to know, like we are trying to achieve our

1471
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:23,880
Speaker 7: job at the highest level. Whatever your job is, whether

1472
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:28,559
Speaker 7: you're the quarterback, defensive tackle, safety, anywhere in between, you

1473
01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:30,200
Speaker 7: know you have a job to do and it's your

1474
01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:34,479
Speaker 7: job to do it at a high level. Stefanski has

1475
01:09:34,479 --> 01:09:36,680
Speaker 7: a little bit more swagged to him, you know, obviously,

1476
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:39,680
Speaker 7: you know, but both of them are great coaches in

1477
01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:42,720
Speaker 7: their own and I'm very privileged to be able to

1478
01:09:43,360 --> 01:09:46,280
Speaker 7: work along side and work with both of those guys.

1479
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:48,160
Speaker 4: All right.

1480
01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:52,280
Speaker 2: That's Brown safety Deron Harmon, nicknamed the Closer. He had

1481
01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:54,959
Speaker 2: a big pick last week since he joined the Browns

1482
01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:56,719
Speaker 2: and the Brown safety room getting healthier.

1483
01:09:56,760 --> 01:09:57,439
Speaker 3: Good chance.

1484
01:09:57,520 --> 01:10:00,920
Speaker 2: Wan Thornhill is back for the Browns tonight. Ronnie Hickman

1485
01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:03,320
Speaker 2: playing great, d Anthony Bell playing great, to Ron Harmon

1486
01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:05,559
Speaker 2: playing great. So all of a sudden browned that room.

1487
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:07,600
Speaker 2: That lost Rodney McCloud, and then Grant Delpit, who was

1488
01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:11,000
Speaker 2: playing so well for the Browns. That room strengthening up,

1489
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:12,599
Speaker 2: and obviously there's still some hope you can get Grant

1490
01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:15,120
Speaker 2: Delpit back when it comes time for the playoffs. When

1491
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:17,679
Speaker 2: we come back, We're gonna go behind enemy lines. Rich

Speaker 2: sponsor of the Cleveland Browns. Keep it Twisted, Cleveland. Rich

1509
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:19,200
Speaker 2: the Jets six and nine. They've been eliminated, Trevor Simeon

1510
01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:22,599
Speaker 2: playing quarterback for him. What should we expect from this

1511
01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:24,640
Speaker 2: team that showed a lot of fight, I thought, and

1512
01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:27,880
Speaker 2: come from behind victory after blowing a big lead last

1513
01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:28,920
Speaker 2: week against Washington.

1514
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:32,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was more like a come from ahead victory.

1515
01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 4: Yes it was.

1516
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:38,120
Speaker 5: They blew a twenty point lead there and had to

1517
01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:42,599
Speaker 5: rely on a fifty four yard desperation field goal at

1518
01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:46,639
Speaker 5: the final seconds by Greg Zerline. So yeah, I think

1519
01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:50,160
Speaker 5: the Jets will play a respectable defensive effort tonight. They

1520
01:11:50,160 --> 01:11:54,760
Speaker 5: have a good defense, it's a relatively healthy defense, and

1521
01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:58,400
Speaker 5: so I think I think they'll be on point tonight.

1522
01:11:58,479 --> 01:12:02,200
Speaker 5: The problem, as it's in all years, you just don't

1523
01:12:02,240 --> 01:12:06,599
Speaker 5: expect anything out of the offense. I mean, it's been grimmed.

1524
01:12:06,680 --> 01:12:08,479
Speaker 5: It's been grim there's no other way to say it.

1525
01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:12,559
Speaker 5: It's historically bad, and so, to be quite honest, I'd

1526
01:12:12,640 --> 01:12:14,879
Speaker 5: be a little surprised if the Jets score an offensive

1527
01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:15,679
Speaker 5: touchdown today.

1528
01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:18,720
Speaker 2: Well, the Browns defense has been very good at home.

1529
01:12:18,760 --> 01:12:20,680
Speaker 2: Trevor Simmon last week didn't complete a pass some more

1530
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:22,120
Speaker 2: than ten yards in the air. They've had all the

1531
01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:24,360
Speaker 2: injuries we've had injuries on our offensive line. The Jets

1532
01:12:24,360 --> 01:12:27,479
Speaker 2: have had twelve starting combos, most in the NFL. So yes,

1533
01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:29,440
Speaker 2: I think it's been a little bit of an adventure.

1534
01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:32,439
Speaker 2: You mentioned Greg Zerline hit that fifty four yarder. There

1535
01:12:32,560 --> 01:12:35,559
Speaker 2: was some question about his availability going into today. What

1536
01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:37,240
Speaker 2: can you tell us? Is he good to go for

1537
01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:38,880
Speaker 2: the Jet because he's having a fantastic season.

1538
01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:43,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's been, you know, pound for pound or you know,

1539
01:12:43,439 --> 01:12:45,679
Speaker 5: as they say, probably the best player on the team

1540
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:49,000
Speaker 5: just in terms of performing his position, thirty out of

1541
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:52,439
Speaker 5: thirty one in field goal attempts. And honestly, I don't

1542
01:12:52,479 --> 01:12:54,479
Speaker 5: know the latest. We're going to find out here real

1543
01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:58,519
Speaker 5: soon within the next ninety minutes. They did act. They

1544
01:12:58,520 --> 01:13:02,559
Speaker 5: did sign Austin c to their practice squad so they

1545
01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:06,559
Speaker 5: could activate him before four o'clock today. Now, the one

1546
01:13:06,720 --> 01:13:09,080
Speaker 5: encouraging thing I'll say for Zerline is that he did

1547
01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:13,559
Speaker 5: practice a little bit yesterday, so that was a step

1548
01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:16,439
Speaker 5: in the right direction. So it's really hard to say

1549
01:13:16,560 --> 01:13:21,120
Speaker 5: at this point. Whoever their kicker is tonight, I think

1550
01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:23,640
Speaker 5: will probably be their only source of offense, you know,

1551
01:13:23,760 --> 01:13:25,880
Speaker 5: scoring via the kicking game.

1552
01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:29,800
Speaker 2: Austin Seybert, former Cleveland Brown It's actually drafted by the

1553
01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:31,840
Speaker 2: Browns a few years ago, so that could be an

1554
01:13:31,880 --> 01:13:36,000
Speaker 2: interesting wrinkle there. All right, this team, the Jets you

1555
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:39,000
Speaker 2: mentioned the offense has been so bad. Obviously, Joe Flacco

1556
01:13:39,160 --> 01:13:41,080
Speaker 2: was with the Jets and we all remember what happened

1557
01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:43,839
Speaker 2: to Week two. Here he's now the brown starting quarterback

1558
01:13:43,880 --> 01:13:46,439
Speaker 2: and he has been quite frankly sensational, leading the league

1559
01:13:46,439 --> 01:13:48,639
Speaker 2: in passing yards, leading the league in passing touchdown since

1560
01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:51,160
Speaker 2: taking over three straight three hundred yard games. I know,

1561
01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:53,240
Speaker 2: there was a lot made of kind of you know,

1562
01:13:53,360 --> 01:13:55,760
Speaker 2: why didn't the Jets bring him back as somebody not

1563
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:58,080
Speaker 2: in the organization because they have no regrets. Maybe as

1564
01:13:58,080 --> 01:14:00,479
Speaker 2: somebody who covers the team. Do you have regrets that

1565
01:14:00,479 --> 01:14:02,960
Speaker 2: they didn't bring Joe Flacco back, because clearly the guy

1566
01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:04,000
Speaker 2: can still play quarterback.

1567
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:08,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think Joe will be. He could be fifty

1568
01:14:08,439 --> 01:14:11,240
Speaker 5: five years old, you know, and still slinging the ball

1569
01:14:11,280 --> 01:14:13,839
Speaker 5: the way he does. He is just such a natural

1570
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:17,559
Speaker 5: thrower of the football. Yeah, you know, I'm a little

1571
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:21,320
Speaker 5: surprised he's doing this well just because of you know, basically,

1572
01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:24,439
Speaker 5: he came off the couch and had no training camp

1573
01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:26,640
Speaker 5: or anything, and he's and he's lighting it up like this.

1574
01:14:26,760 --> 01:14:30,000
Speaker 5: So that's a little bit surprising. And you know, I

1575
01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:32,639
Speaker 5: think the Jets do have regrets, no matter what they say.

1576
01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:36,559
Speaker 5: I think there was something going on there behind the scenes.

1577
01:14:36,600 --> 01:14:39,599
Speaker 5: I mean when Zach rather when Aaron Rodgers got hurt

1578
01:14:39,640 --> 01:14:43,640
Speaker 5: in Week one. I know for a fact that you know,

1579
01:14:44,200 --> 01:14:47,439
Speaker 5: Flaco had his agent had reached out to the Jets,

1580
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:51,519
Speaker 5: and the Jets basically said, sorry, we're not interested, and

1581
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:54,519
Speaker 5: I which was really puzzling, because they were going they

1582
01:14:55,120 --> 01:14:58,000
Speaker 5: you know, they going with Zach Wilson. You know, they

1583
01:14:58,040 --> 01:15:00,360
Speaker 5: thought that Wilson was the guy and they going to

1584
01:15:00,439 --> 01:15:01,920
Speaker 5: commit to him for the rest of the year and

1585
01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:05,360
Speaker 5: that turned out to be a disaster. And would they

1586
01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:08,080
Speaker 5: be doing anything different if they had Flacko. It's really

1587
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:11,479
Speaker 5: hard to say. Joe, we know he doesn't really move

1588
01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:14,559
Speaker 5: very well, so behind the Jet f offensive line, I

1589
01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:17,920
Speaker 5: think I think he would have been struggling with the Jets. Now.

1590
01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:19,400
Speaker 5: I know the Browns have gone through a lot of

1591
01:15:19,439 --> 01:15:22,880
Speaker 5: injuries on their offensive line, but they obviously give me

1592
01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:25,479
Speaker 5: him some good protection and I don't think he would

1593
01:15:25,479 --> 01:15:27,800
Speaker 5: have had that with the Jets. So I don't think

1594
01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:30,759
Speaker 5: he'd be doing what he's been doing, you know with Cleveland.

1595
01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:31,599
Speaker 6: With the Jets.

1596
01:15:32,160 --> 01:15:33,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, something special here.

1597
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:35,960
Speaker 2: You mentioned this offense being so anemic and yet it

1598
01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:38,240
Speaker 2: has the reigning offensive rookie of the year and one

1599
01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:40,240
Speaker 2: of the most electric running backs in the league. And

1600
01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:42,800
Speaker 2: Garrett Wilson and Brice Hall. Hall had one hundred and

1601
01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:45,200
Speaker 2: ninety one till the yards two touchdowns last week. What's

1602
01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:46,800
Speaker 2: kind of been how come they haven't been able to

1603
01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:48,800
Speaker 2: really unlock these guys? And I know Wilson's going to

1604
01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:51,439
Speaker 2: be there, you know, for a second straight thousand yard season,

1605
01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:52,880
Speaker 2: become the first Jet to do that in his first

1606
01:15:52,880 --> 01:15:55,559
Speaker 2: two seasons. But ten point nine yards of catch, only

1607
01:15:55,600 --> 01:15:58,280
Speaker 2: three touchdowns. It's not like he has been kind of

1608
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:00,200
Speaker 2: what we all think thought he was going to be,

1609
01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:02,280
Speaker 2: certainly with Aaron Rodgers this year where he thought he

1610
01:16:02,360 --> 01:16:03,599
Speaker 2: might leave the NFL in receiving.

1611
01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:08,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's been a struggle for Garrett Wilson. Of course,

1612
01:16:08,920 --> 01:16:11,840
Speaker 5: coming back to it, he had his first breakout game

1613
01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:14,960
Speaker 5: as a pro last year in that Cleveland miracle finish year.

1614
01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:17,680
Speaker 5: You know, at former Ohio State guy as well as

1615
01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:20,640
Speaker 5: I'm sure you guys know it. Yeah, it's been a

1616
01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:22,639
Speaker 5: struggle for him. He's going to go over a thousand,

1617
01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:26,400
Speaker 5: But I think it's like it's like in dog years

1618
01:16:26,439 --> 01:16:28,479
Speaker 5: with Jet you have to rate Jet players in a

1619
01:16:28,479 --> 01:16:30,559
Speaker 5: different sense because of what they have to deal with

1620
01:16:30,600 --> 01:16:34,960
Speaker 5: on offense with four different quarterbacks and a offensive coordinator

1621
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:38,800
Speaker 5: who appears clueless at times. So for Garrett Wilson to

1622
01:16:38,840 --> 01:16:40,720
Speaker 5: go over a thousand again, I think it's, you know,

1623
01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:43,760
Speaker 5: a tremendous feather in his cap, and I know he's

1624
01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:48,320
Speaker 5: frustrated by their inability to actually function on offense. And

1625
01:16:48,360 --> 01:16:50,639
Speaker 5: Breeze Hall had a game for the Ages last week,

1626
01:16:50,760 --> 01:16:55,479
Speaker 5: just twelve receptions, a couple of rushing touchdowns. He's a

1627
01:16:55,520 --> 01:16:58,160
Speaker 5: really good player. He actually went through a midseason slump

1628
01:16:58,600 --> 01:17:00,920
Speaker 5: where he wasn't doing much at all. I think a

1629
01:17:00,920 --> 01:17:02,800
Speaker 5: lot of that was due to the offensive line. But

1630
01:17:03,040 --> 01:17:05,080
Speaker 5: you know, in those two players, that Jets clearly have

1631
01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:06,920
Speaker 5: two building blocks for the future.

1632
01:17:08,439 --> 01:17:10,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, they've got excellent building blocks for the future. That

1633
01:17:10,760 --> 01:17:13,080
Speaker 2: Reese Hall forces a lot of miss tackles, Garrett Wilson

1634
01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:15,840
Speaker 2: electric the offensive struggle, but the defense is why the

1635
01:17:15,960 --> 01:17:19,280
Speaker 2: Jets have still won six games so far this season.

1636
01:17:19,520 --> 01:17:23,120
Speaker 2: Quinton Williams, John Franklin Myers, Jermaine Johnson, Bryce Huff with

1637
01:17:23,120 --> 01:17:25,360
Speaker 2: eight sacks the back end, the two linebackers playing as

1638
01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:27,960
Speaker 2: well as any linebacker tandem in the league. How big

1639
01:17:27,960 --> 01:17:30,120
Speaker 2: of a loss though, was Quinton Jefferson a week ago

1640
01:17:30,240 --> 01:17:33,040
Speaker 2: had six sacks. I know Solomon Thomas has played very well.

1641
01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:35,080
Speaker 2: Five sacks for him, but how big of a loss

1642
01:17:35,160 --> 01:17:38,160
Speaker 2: was that, Yeah, I mean it.

1643
01:17:38,280 --> 01:17:41,920
Speaker 5: Was a loss because he was especially as a pass rusher.

1644
01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:44,840
Speaker 5: You mentioned the sack total. I think he was giving

1645
01:17:44,880 --> 01:17:47,960
Speaker 5: them everything and maybe more than they could have expected

1646
01:17:48,040 --> 01:17:51,000
Speaker 5: as a pass rusher, you know. Not he wasn't a

1647
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:54,040
Speaker 5: stout run defender, and that's been that position's been a

1648
01:17:54,080 --> 01:17:56,479
Speaker 5: little bit of an issue there. Their run defense hasn't

1649
01:17:56,520 --> 01:17:59,200
Speaker 5: been great this year. I don't think it's as bad

1650
01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:03,479
Speaker 5: as the TIS statistics show because teams they're getting run

1651
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:06,559
Speaker 5: on a lot because the Jets fall behind, and teams

1652
01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:08,320
Speaker 5: basically just take the air out of the ball in

1653
01:18:08,360 --> 01:18:10,680
Speaker 5: the second half and just run the ball because they

1654
01:18:10,680 --> 01:18:12,679
Speaker 5: know the Jets aren't really a threat to come back

1655
01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:15,240
Speaker 5: and score a lot of points, so I think. But

1656
01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:17,639
Speaker 5: you know, they miss him as part of their rotation.

1657
01:18:17,880 --> 01:18:21,599
Speaker 5: They rotate eight or nine guys, and so it affects

1658
01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:25,280
Speaker 5: them and that their rotations one man shorter. I don't

1659
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:27,719
Speaker 5: think it has a huge impact on the defense, though.

1660
01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:32,840
Speaker 2: The linebackers Moseley and Williams. I mean when you have

1661
01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:34,679
Speaker 2: a guy who's got one hundred and twenty four tackles,

1662
01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:37,479
Speaker 2: fifteen tackles for lost, and ten passes defense, I know

1663
01:18:37,520 --> 01:18:39,920
Speaker 2: that is unique amongst all players in the National Football

1664
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:40,599
Speaker 2: League this season.

1665
01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:42,200
Speaker 3: And then you have him next to a five time.

1666
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:44,880
Speaker 2: Pro Bowler and Moseley. How good has that second level

1667
01:18:44,880 --> 01:18:45,720
Speaker 2: of this defense been?

1668
01:18:46,920 --> 01:18:52,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're really good. Quincy Williams has just really blossomed

1669
01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:54,920
Speaker 5: this year. He's the older brother of Quinn, of course,

1670
01:18:54,960 --> 01:18:58,040
Speaker 5: and the Jets picked him up on waivers a couple

1671
01:18:58,080 --> 01:19:00,240
Speaker 5: of years ago. You know, Jacksonville cut him and the

1672
01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:02,040
Speaker 5: Jets picked him up. And at first we thought it

1673
01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:04,280
Speaker 5: was like, oh, that's a cool story, you know, reunited

1674
01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:07,719
Speaker 5: with his brother. That's worth, you know, human interest story.

1675
01:19:07,760 --> 01:19:10,720
Speaker 5: But it became more than a human interest story. He's

1676
01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:14,160
Speaker 5: a really good player and they recognized it last season.

1677
01:19:14,200 --> 01:19:17,080
Speaker 5: They signed him to a three year contract extension and

1678
01:19:17,200 --> 01:19:20,759
Speaker 5: he's all over the field. He may be their best

1679
01:19:20,800 --> 01:19:23,719
Speaker 5: defensive player this year. I mean, you know, a couple

1680
01:19:23,720 --> 01:19:28,000
Speaker 5: other guys would compete for that, but Quincy's just been outstanding.

1681
01:19:28,040 --> 01:19:31,519
Speaker 5: He's probably you guys will see it tonight. His sideline

1682
01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:34,559
Speaker 5: to sideline speed is exceptional. He's one of the faster

1683
01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:35,879
Speaker 5: linebackers in the league.

1684
01:19:36,640 --> 01:19:38,719
Speaker 2: And then on the back end, Jordan White had four picks.

1685
01:19:38,920 --> 01:19:41,439
Speaker 2: DJ Reid's got a pick, Saws no picks, but it

1686
01:19:41,439 --> 01:19:43,679
Speaker 2: feels like they're not really going at him as much.

1687
01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:45,680
Speaker 2: What do you make of this secondary and are there

1688
01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:48,760
Speaker 2: any spots that are questions or places where teams have

1689
01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:50,800
Speaker 2: been able to attack this team through the air? And

1690
01:19:50,840 --> 01:19:52,680
Speaker 2: I know that the reality is they have a lot

1691
01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:54,920
Speaker 2: of three hundred yard passer this year, nobody's really been

1692
01:19:54,920 --> 01:19:56,400
Speaker 2: able to really get them through the air.

1693
01:19:57,880 --> 01:20:00,120
Speaker 5: Well, I'm glad you brought that up, because I think

1694
01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:03,320
Speaker 5: they've gone thirty two straight games without allowing a three

1695
01:20:03,360 --> 01:20:04,400
Speaker 5: hundred yard passer.

1696
01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:07,320
Speaker 2: I'm going to quote you on that on the broadcast, Rich,

1697
01:20:07,360 --> 01:20:09,439
Speaker 2: so I hope that's right straight.

1698
01:20:10,080 --> 01:20:12,599
Speaker 5: I'll have them it was thirty one. It's either thirty

1699
01:20:12,600 --> 01:20:14,600
Speaker 5: two or thirty three. Double check on that in the

1700
01:20:15,200 --> 01:20:17,200
Speaker 5: press notes. But I know it's still going on and

1701
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:19,800
Speaker 5: it's the longest streak in the league. It's a little

1702
01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:23,719
Speaker 5: kewed because, for the reason we said earlier, teams aren't

1703
01:20:23,840 --> 01:20:26,960
Speaker 5: throwing against them a lot in the second half because

1704
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:30,639
Speaker 5: they get big leads and just run the ball. However,

1705
01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:33,240
Speaker 5: Flacco has been averaging over three hundred games, you know,

1706
01:20:33,320 --> 01:20:36,759
Speaker 5: the last few weeks, so it'll be an interesting combo.

1707
01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:39,200
Speaker 5: Their corners are very good, I mean, Gardner and Reed.

1708
01:20:39,760 --> 01:20:41,720
Speaker 5: I would put them up there with any of the

1709
01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:45,200
Speaker 5: cornerback tandems in the league. Their nickelback doesn't get any publicity,

1710
01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:48,600
Speaker 5: but Michael Carter the second is an outstanding nickelback. The

1711
01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:51,840
Speaker 5: safeties are a little bit vulnerable. I mean if if

1712
01:20:51,840 --> 01:20:54,719
Speaker 5: they face a good tight end, it creates some problems

1713
01:20:54,760 --> 01:20:58,600
Speaker 5: at times, but overall a really solid secondary.

1714
01:20:59,439 --> 01:21:03,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, secondary, solid defense. Do you think it feels to me?

1715
01:21:03,920 --> 01:21:06,360
Speaker 2: I don't know how it feels to you in New York,

1716
01:21:06,400 --> 01:21:09,400
Speaker 2: but you know this week the turnaround, play a game

1717
01:21:09,439 --> 01:21:12,839
Speaker 2: on Christmas Eve, and then you have Christmas on Monday,

1718
01:21:12,960 --> 01:21:14,880
Speaker 2: and then a game on Thursday. It just has been

1719
01:21:14,920 --> 01:21:16,920
Speaker 2: a lot and I think the Browns certainly benefit from

1720
01:21:16,920 --> 01:21:18,639
Speaker 2: being the home team in this scenario because the Jets

1721
01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:21,160
Speaker 2: had to get on a plane yesterday. How do you

1722
01:21:21,160 --> 01:21:23,800
Speaker 2: think that has impacted the Jets? Known that it's been

1723
01:21:23,840 --> 01:21:26,439
Speaker 2: a little bit of a crazy week, it's unorthodox week,

1724
01:21:26,600 --> 01:21:28,439
Speaker 2: and then they have to travel on top of it.

1725
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:32,960
Speaker 5: Yes, it's a good note that you brought that up,

1726
01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:36,320
Speaker 5: because you know, not only did they you know, they

1727
01:21:36,320 --> 01:21:38,559
Speaker 5: played on Sunday. They obviously pulled out a game at

1728
01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:41,400
Speaker 5: the end, but it was a long game. Now, I

1729
01:21:41,439 --> 01:21:44,160
Speaker 5: know it didn't reflect it in the stats like the

1730
01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:47,559
Speaker 5: number of plays, but that game went I think it

1731
01:21:47,600 --> 01:21:50,360
Speaker 5: was three hours and forty five minutes, and so it

1732
01:21:50,400 --> 01:21:54,000
Speaker 5: was just a long game just because of some injuries

1733
01:21:54,120 --> 01:21:56,800
Speaker 5: and so forth, and it just went long. And then,

1734
01:21:56,960 --> 01:22:00,639
Speaker 5: like you said, the holiday, the turnaround, the travel and

1735
01:22:00,760 --> 01:22:04,160
Speaker 5: the fact that they're eliminated. So you know, I kind

1736
01:22:04,160 --> 01:22:06,800
Speaker 5: of got to feel, you know, I think this is,

1737
01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:08,719
Speaker 5: let's just put it this way, this is a really

1738
01:22:08,760 --> 01:22:10,840
Speaker 5: tough spot for the Jets tonight. I mean they're going

1739
01:22:10,920 --> 01:22:13,960
Speaker 5: to face a very amped up Cleveland team that can

1740
01:22:14,040 --> 01:22:17,920
Speaker 5: clinch a playoff spot, yes before a primetime audience on

1741
01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:20,040
Speaker 5: their home field. I think this is going to be

1742
01:22:20,040 --> 01:22:22,639
Speaker 5: a very very difficult spot for the Jets tonight.

1743
01:22:23,800 --> 01:22:26,640
Speaker 2: Well, I kind of hope it is obviously wanting the

1744
01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:29,040
Speaker 2: Browns to punch their ticket into the playoffs. It should

1745
01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:31,040
Speaker 2: be an electric atmosphere, which should be a lot of

1746
01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:32,800
Speaker 2: fun tonight. Thank you so much for the time and

1747
01:22:32,800 --> 01:22:34,240
Speaker 2: the insights on the Jets.

1748

Speaker 5: You're welcome. Have a good one, all right.

01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:33,519
Speaker 2: I'm saying, don't drink and drive, yes, correct, don't go

1827
01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:36,280
Speaker 2: to jail, which we don't go on.

1828
01:26:36,479 --> 01:26:39,680
Speaker 4: Field, don't practice the streak of practice.

1829
01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:40,479
Speaker 3: And enjoy this.

1830
01:26:40,840 --> 01:26:43,160
Speaker 2: Enjoy this, be loud, be a part of it, be

1831
01:26:43,280 --> 01:26:46,680
Speaker 2: the twelfth man, be that X factor. We're seven and

1832
01:26:46,720 --> 01:26:50,200
Speaker 2: one at home. We have not lost at home since

1833
01:26:50,240 --> 01:26:54,479
Speaker 2: the Ravens game, and that was played under unbelievably difficult auspices. Correct,

1834
01:26:54,520 --> 01:26:56,600
Speaker 2: the Browns every game they came into knowing who was

1835
01:26:56,600 --> 01:26:59,439
Speaker 2: playing quarterback on Saturday, and that person played quarterback on Sunday.

1836
01:26:59,439 --> 01:27:01,880
Speaker 4: The Browns have not lost at home. So let's just

1837
01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:04,200
Speaker 4: keep that going. Maybe this should be your moment here

1838
01:27:04,240 --> 01:27:06,880
Speaker 4: instead of the scoreboard, like you want to fire people up.

1839
01:27:07,080 --> 01:27:08,880
Speaker 4: Maybe this is it, right, I can't you. You've already

1840
01:27:09,040 --> 01:27:11,679
Speaker 4: you stifled me. I haven't stifled you yet. I'm under

1841
01:27:11,720 --> 01:27:14,720
Speaker 4: your yoke, not yet. Yes, I did remind you last night,

1842
01:27:14,760 --> 01:27:15,559
Speaker 4: yere under the yoke.

1843
01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:17,439
Speaker 3: Yes, I was under your yoke.

1844
01:27:17,520 --> 01:27:17,960
