Speaker 2: should get if you want to learn all about the

63
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 2: guys that we took on Day two and Day three

64
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: and for any team in DAYTI two and Day three.

65
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: It is the complete, complete draft guide. My entire on

66
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: air staff used it a lot of illuminaries last week

67
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 2: throughout the NFL world I saw using your draft guide.

68
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 2: I killed a couple trees this past week. But the

69
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 2: on air guys, everybody, Yeah, did yourself as always. Congratulations

70
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: every single player in the draft Guide. Has there been

71
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 2: a year where you've had like more than one that

72
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: one player that wasn't in a draft guide? I mean,

73
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 2: I feel like you cover the bases pretty well.

74
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

75
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 4: I mean it was like five six years ago the

76
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 4: Vikings drafted a long snapper in the seventh round out

77
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,239
Speaker 4: of air Force that I did not have in there,

78
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 4: And let me tell you, that stuck with me.

79
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 3: For a while.

80
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 4: So it's my mission to make sure that it doesn't

81
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 4: happen again. And you know, it's tough.

82
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 5: I trust me.

83
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 3: It gets a little.

84
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 4: Nerve wracking there in the later rounds because sometimes you know,

85
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 4: teams just draft. You know, you could have saw one

86
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 4: guy I had one workout and he looked good, and

87
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 4: that's good enough. He wouldn't have been drafted by any

88
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 4: other team, but this one team liked him, and you

89
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 4: never know. So there's almost nineteen hundred players in the

90
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 4: Draft Guide, so there's always a chance maybe one slips through,

91
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 4: but thankfully not this year. All two hundred and fifty

92
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 4: nine picks are in the Draft Guide in some shape

93
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 4: or form. Most of them, almost all of them have

94
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 4: reports the few that don't have all the testing numbers.

95
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 3: So definitely proud of that fact.

96
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 2: Congratulations, seriously, I mean to have that done. And the

97
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,679
Speaker 2: fact that you remember the long snapper from Minnesota tells

98
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 2: me you might not have gotten over it quite yet either.

99
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 3: No, that'll take some time.

100
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 2: Dave Brugloo joins us from the Athletic our Draft Guru,

101
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 2: a resident draft guru. We're breaking down the draft and

102
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 2: you mentioned it. I thought it was a fascinating stat

103
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 2: that you put out. I mean, we took five of

104
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 2: your top one hundred players, and we didn't have a

105
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 2: pick till pick number seventy four, So I would say

106
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: a pretty solid job by Andrew Berry and company. What

107
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 2: say you given the whole scope of this Browns draft class.

108
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, obviously my top one hundred is my opinion. It's

109
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 4: not the be all end all.

110
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 3: Of who these players are.

111
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 4: But you know, I think that the Browns, at least

112
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 4: in my opinion, did a really nice job of letting

113
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 4: the draft fall to them and maximizing those picks. I

114
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 4: don't think they went into Day two thinking, all right,

115
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 4: with this first pick, we're going to get that receiver,

116
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 4: that that's who we're targeting. But by the time seventy

117
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,239
Speaker 4: four got around, it just so happens Cedric Tillman still

118
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 4: on the board, and you know, the best, one of

119
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 4: the few ex receivers in this draft. They had a

120
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 4: chance to draft him. And then even you know, in

121
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 4: the later third and the fourth round. I mean, they

122
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 4: did a really nice job letting guys fall to them

123
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 4: and really taking advantage of that. So and in Luke Whippler,

124
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 4: he missed my top one hundred, but he was pretty close.

125
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 4: So he's another guy you could have, you know, even

126
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 4: thrown in there. So you know, the Browns I thought

127
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 4: did a really nice job draft players for the now,

128
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 4: but also the future guys that are going to help

129
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 4: with that immediate depth. But also you know, as you

130
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 4: look as you project forward the twenty twenty four roster,

131
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 4: the twenty twenty five roster, the guys drafted, I think

132
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 4: they're going to play a key role on those rosters.

133
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 2: And I know Nathan and Bo brought it up with

134
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 2: you on Brown's Daily earlier this week. You know, these

135
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 2: guys that are drafted, they're going to push some of

136
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: the current roster guys for spots on this team. Here

137
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 2: come fall. I don't think you know. It's all about competition.

138
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: You hear Kevin Stefanski talking about it and Andrew Berry

139
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 2: talk about it. And you're going to have some really

140
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 2: good competitions with the guys that they bringing in.

141
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 4: Competition breeds the best. I mean, you want that competition

142
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 4: in camp. You want to bring these guys in and

143
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 4: you know, push the veterans, you know, let these young guys,

144
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 4: these hungry young players go out there and try to

145
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 4: earn a spot.

146
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 3: So yeah, no question about it.

147
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 4: And you know, you look at receiver, it's it's a

148
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 4: crowded depth chart right now, and so you know, how

149
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 4: how is that going to play out over the next

150
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 4: few months, especially when you add a Cedric Tillman in

151
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 4: that mix. Obviously Tilman's going to make the team, but

152
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 4: you know, how does that competition in a new body,

153
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 4: How does that affect the rest of the receivers currently

154
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 4: on the roster. And you know, really look at quarterback.

155
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 4: You bring in Dorian Thompson Robinson, you know, there's how's

156
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 4: that going to fit with Kellen Bond And you know,

157
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 4: I think Joshua Dobbs is pretty set as the backup,

158
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 4: but you know, how does that you know, fighting out

159
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 4: for that number three quarterback spot. So plenty of questions

160
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 4: how these draft picks are going to fit on the roster.

161
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 4: But it's it's definitely kind of a wake up call

162
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 4: for some of the you know, the players on the

163
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 4: already on the roster to say, hey, I need to

164
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 4: really step it up in camp this year or I

165
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 4: you know, my roster spot is not guaranteed.

166
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 2: You can subscribe to The Athletic Today and get Dan

167
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 2: Brugler's copy of the Beast, which is every player that

168
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 2: was picked in this twenty twenty three NFL Draft. Also

169
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 2: some undrafted free agents that at some point we will

170
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 2: learn about more as the week goes on from the

171
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns and from every other team as those become official.

172
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 2: All right, current draft class. Stan Bugler favorite pick in

173
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 2: this Browns draft class.

174
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 4: Hard not to go with Tillman, you know, to get him,

175
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 4: I thought he would go somewhere in that forty to

176
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 4: sixty range, and he would have gone even higher if

177
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 4: not for his injury this year, had the tight rope

178
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 4: ankle surgery.

179
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 3: Going back to.

180
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 4: Last summer when I was studying him based on the

181
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 4: twenty twenty one film, this is a player that was

182
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 4: being talked about as a late one, early two, a

183
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 4: chance to go very high in the draft. Has the

184
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 4: size obviously six three and a half two hundred and

185
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 4: fifteen pounds, good enough speed four five four in the

186
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 4: forty yard dash. I understand that it's not blazing, but

187
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 4: and this is a big player. So he has the

188
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 4: speed to win vertically and win over top defensive backs.

189
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 4: You know, you just look at his vert and his

190
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 4: broad jump thirty seven inches vert ten to eight broad

191
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 4: jump tells you how explosive he is. So this is

192
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 4: a big man with strong hands. You love the ball

193
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 4: skills to catch radius. He does a really nice job

194
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 4: attacking the ball away from his body, and he has

195
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 4: play strength, whether it's as a blocker or down the

196
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 4: field against coverage. So I really like what he brings

197
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 4: to You look at his wide receiver room and I

198
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 4: really like what he brings to it. What he has

199
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 4: to offer something a little bit different than what they have.

200
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 4: So he can be that possession threat on the outside,

201
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 4: but he can also give you a vertical element and

202
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 4: win down the field. And that's something that I think

203
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 4: we'll see immediately. I'm not saying he's going to come

204
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 4: in and be the guy, but he's gonna step in

205
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 4: and be, you know, someone that's gonna help this offense.

206
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 4: And so Cedric Tillman getting him at seventy four, not

207
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 4: just the player, but the value. I really like that

208
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 4: pick for the Browns and Tillman. You know, he doesn't

209
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 4: miss six games with an ankle injury. Is are we

210
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 4: talking about him going in the first round in US

211
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 4: not even getting a chance or even an early quite possibly?

212
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 5: Yeah.

213
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 4: And you know he went over a thousand yards in

214
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 4: twenty twenty one.

215
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 3: He had twelve touchdowns.

216
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 4: I mean, this guy was a playmaker, and you factor

217
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 4: in this year with Hendon Hooker and that explosive offense.

218
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 3: He might have surpassed those numbers.

219
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 4: And if he did, I feel very strongly that he

220
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 4: would have went at somewhere in the top fifty picks,

221
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 4: maybe even as high as that late first round. It's

222
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 4: certainly possible because again, a lot of teams are looking

223
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 4: for that X receiver and he's one of the few

224
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 4: in this class that qualifies. You know, you look at

225
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 4: the first round. You know Jordan Addison and jsn and

226
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 4: you know these are smaller players. Jsen's a slot receiver.

227
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,599
Speaker 4: Z A Flowers a smaller receiver. But then this is

228
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 4: why I didn't think Cedric Tilman would last all the

229
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 4: way to seventy four, because he is a true X

230
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 4: and that gets you excited if you're.

231
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 2: A Browns bugging with Dane Brugler from the Athletics taking

232
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 2: a look at the rest of his draft class. Sciaki

233
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 2: Ika out of Baylor defensive tackle, our defensive coordinator and company,

234
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 2: mister Schwartz getting a guy to really help on the

235
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 2: front lines there, and we'll get to Isaiah McGuire as well.

236
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 2: But two guys, some big bodies on the defensive line

237
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 2: here for the Cleveland Browns.

238
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 3: No doubt six and thirty five pounds.

239
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 4: And I go back to last summer when I first

240
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 4: started studying Eka and one of the first tapes I

241
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 4: watched was the bowl game against Old Miss and he

242
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 4: showed past rush in that game and I was like, Okay,

243
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 4: this is.

244
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 3: Something to work with.

245
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 4: And you know what, he didn't show nearly that same

246
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 4: pass rush as past year, but he wasn't really asked to.

247
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 4: You know, he had a specific role on that defense

248
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 4: for David Randa, right in the middle that mostly a

249
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 4: three man front. He's occupying doubles, he's two gapping. You know,

250
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 4: he's doing his job creating that congestion in the middle

251
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 4: of the line, shutting down the run.

252
00:12:58,920 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 3: But when he does have.

253
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 4: One on one opportunities, you see flashes of pass rush potential.

254
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 4: He's a very nimble three hundred and thirty five pounds,

255
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 4: but also has that power to work with. So he's

256
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 4: going to be a great addition to the rotation on

257
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 4: the defensive front. You know, you work them in and

258
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 4: get these allow these guys to have fresh legs. You know,

259
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 4: that's someone that's going to make everybody on the defense

260
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 4: better because he's just another guy you can add in

261
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 4: there and not miss a beat.

262
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 2: Let's stay on the defensive side of the football. Let's

263
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 2: talk about McGuire. Yeah, and we're already talking d Lion.

264
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 2: I mean from from an edge standpoint. Again, it's a

265
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 2: guy that you can put in the rotation fresh legs,

266
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 2: develop him. He's shown some flashes, had a very good

267
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 2: career at the University of Missouri, and a guy that

268
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 2: could get some valuable reps here on this Cleveland Browns team.

269
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 2: Early on in the season. Potentially the Browns could.

270
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 3: Have drafted Isaiah McGuire at seventy four.

271
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 4: And I don't think anybody would have thought anything of it,

272
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 4: or they would have thought there was a reach or anything,

273
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 4: because that's how highly a lot of people thought of

274
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 4: Isaiah McGuire. Six four and a half two hundred and

275
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 4: sixty eight pounds. You know, he has speed and he

276
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 4: has powerful hands. So you see the speed to power

277
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 4: just that, ask Broderick Jones. Throw all the Georgia tape

278
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 4: and see Isaiah McGuire.

279
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 5: Go to work.

280
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 4: I mean, he was the one pass rusher this year

281
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 4: that really gave Broderick Jones, who was the first round

282
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 4: pick of the Steelers, of course, gave him a lot

283
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 4: of trouble. And so you know, he checks a lot

284
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 4: of boxes for the Browns. He's a younger player, fourth

285
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 4: year senior, but still just twenty one years old, really

286
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 4: productive in the SEC big school. So I think there's

287
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 4: a lot to like about Isaiah McGuire. And I again,

288
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 4: he could have easily gone with one of those two

289
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 4: third round picks, and I thought it would have made sense. Obviously,

290
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 4: the Browns, you know, have one of the best in

291
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 4: the league of Miles Garrett. But what about opposite him?

292
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 4: You know, obviously, you know there's you know, there's optimism

293
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 4: about what it's going to look like this year. But

294
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 4: you know, you bring in Isaiah McGuire, you add him

295
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 4: to the mix, you know, with the rest of the

296
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 4: you know, the two guys that dredged last year with

297
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 4: Right and Thomas and Okuronquo bring him in free agency.

298
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 4: So all of a sudden past rush looking more like

299
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 4: a strength. And again another rotation. Bring these guys in

300
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 4: fresh legs and just keep throwing haymakers at the at

301
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 4: the quarterback get in there and all of a sudden,

302
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 4: you know, it's pass rush is looking more and more

303
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 4: like a strength of this team.

304
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Alex Right, a lot going to be expected

305
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 2: of the second year player. I mean, a guy that

306
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 2: they were high on last year and showed some flashes

307
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 2: toward the end, but really needs to step up and

308
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 2: be that guy on the other end. But he's going

309
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 2: to get some competition from Maguire, no doubt.

310
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 4: And I think you know, Wright was viewed as kind

311
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 4: of like an upside pick, like you like the tools.

312
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 3: It just we have to develop him. And so what

313
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 3: does year two look like for him?

314
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 4: How big of a jump has he been able to

315
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 4: take after one year under his belt, saw some valuable reps,

316
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 4: had a full off season, So definitely interested to see

317
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 4: what he looks like once once we get in the

318
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 4: camp and these guys get back back out there.

319

333
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 2: Here's part two of my interview with the great Dane

334
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 2: Brugler from The Athletic, the Draft Guru himself recapping the

335
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 2: Browns twenty twenty three draft class. All right, in the

336
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 2: fourth round to kick off Day three, he falls to us.

337
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 2: He's an enormous human being, but he's got a lot,

338
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 2: a lot of upside. Dwan Jones from Ohio State at

339
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 2: the tackle position. A lot has been made about him,

340
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 2: and you know how big he is, but he did

341
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 2: play basketball. He's a baller and a guy that again

342
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: you can take and given the depth you have at

343
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 2: the offensive line and with the great coaches here in Cleveland,

344
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 2: he gets a chance to develop and really could amount

345
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 2: to something special here for this Cleveland Browns team.

346
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 4: That's the key Coach Callahan, you know, one of the

347
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 4: best offensive line coaches in the league. You're not making

348
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 4: this pick unless coach Callahan gives his sign a sign

349
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 4: off and you know he approves and thinks he can

350
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 4: develop this player. So it's going to be really interesting

351
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 4: to see, you know, Jones coming in. What is he

352
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 4: way in acause that's the weight, It's going to be

353
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 4: something that's monitored. He was three seventy five at the

354
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 4: combine and then chose not to workout or way at

355
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 4: his pro day, and so you know, how how is

356
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 4: that you know, going to play into all of this

357
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 4: with just the weight concerns and you know, making sure

358
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 4: he's staying conditioned and you know, sometimes you got to

359
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 4: motivate him and as long as he is locked in,

360
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 4: this is gonna end up with a link of steel.

361
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 4: But you know, if he's not able to stay locked in,

362
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 4: if he doesn't take the pro coaching, then you know,

363
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, it's more of a risky pick.

364
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 4: But in the fourth round, I think he's well worth

365
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 4: that risk. You know, the potential reward is something that

366
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 4: could really pay off, because this is another young player

367
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 4: still just twenty one years old, fourth year senior. Like

368
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 4: you said, he's a basketball player who I think watching

369
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 4: him this year, you finally felt like he was turning

370
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 4: the corner in terms of becoming a true football player.

371
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 4: Before he identified as a basketball player. That's playing football

372
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 4: Now it's all about being strictly a football player and

373
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 4: nothing else. And I think he's still on that journey

374
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 4: to becoming that guy. But lucky for him, he's coming

375
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 4: to a situation where he's not going to be asked

376
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 4: to start right away. He doesn't have to go out

377
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 4: there and play valuable snaps where you know he's going

378
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 4: to see some of the NFL's top pass rushers. He

379
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 4: can sit, learn and develop, and that's a key part

380
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 4: of this whole thing.

381
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, he'll be one of the more fascinating players to watch.

382
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 2: You will not miss him on the football field. But

383
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 2: if he gets it right and takes to the coaching,

384
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 2: I mean, the sky is the limit for him at

385
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 2: the tackle position. With a couple you know, I mean,

386
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 2: the Browns picked up the option on Jed Wills, but

387
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 2: and Jack Conklin is back for a couple more years.

388
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 2: But Jack Conklin's getting up there in age, and you

389
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 2: can never have enough bodies in that offensive line.

390
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 3: That's it in the day three.

391
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,719
Speaker 4: It takes some swings and see, you know, give me talent,

392
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 4: and you know there's risk involved here, there's no doubt.

393
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 3: I mean, I for me, he was a late, too early,

394
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 3: third round type of player.

395
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 4: I'm surprised he felt all the way out of Day

396
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 4: two just because there's so much there to work with.

397
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 6: Now.

398
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 3: He's not the most nimble mover, that's not his game.

399
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 7: He is.

400
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 4: He's big, he has you know, the wingspans almost eighty

401
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 4: eight inches, crazy size and length. But I thought he

402
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 4: did a really nice job this year with his balance,

403
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 4: did a much better job closing space, getting out and

404
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 4: you know, making sure that he's staying in front of

405
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 4: pass rushers and making it difficult for them to get

406
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 4: around him. So he has you know, once he gets

407
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 4: his hands on you, it's over, especially in the run game.

408
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 4: So he could be a real masher on the edge.

409
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 4: So you know, Dwan Jones is a really interesting player.

410
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 4: And again if he you know, grows up in a

411
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 4: few areas, then all of a sudden, this is going

412
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 4: to look like a steal.

413
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,719
Speaker 2: At the quarterback position. The Browns had a quarterback I

414
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 2: know you had in your mock draft, in your seven

415
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 2: round knock, you had a quarterback going to the Browns.

416
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 2: We thought there could be a chance that they could

417
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 2: add to that room, especially with Josh Dobbs having just

418
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 2: one year, having a one year deal. Someone's got to

419
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 2: be behind Deshaun Watson and guy, maybe you can groom

420
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 2: and they do that in the fifth round. Dorian Thompson Robinson,

421
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 2: quarterback from UCLA. Give me one thing that you like

422
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 2: about him, one thing that he's going to have to

423
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 2: work on here while he's here.

424
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 4: I think what I really liked about him is how

425
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 4: he got better every year, especially this past year as

426
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 4: a fifth year senior. You know, he took advantage of

427
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 4: that COVID year, goes back to school and had by

428
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 4: far his best year production wise. I mean, he's he

429
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 4: was toe for toe with Caleb Williams in that USC game.

430
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 4: A really tough competitor. So you know you like the release.

431
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 4: He's a quick twitch player both with his feet and

432
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 4: his arm. You see playmaking instincts. You see a guy

433
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 4: that has elusive qualities on the move. But he is

434
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 4: a guy that will you know, wants to push the

435
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 4: ball with his arm. You know, he's not a running

436
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 4: quarterback who you know, also happens to throw. The toughness

437
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 4: is off the charts, so there's a lot to like

438
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 4: about what he brings. Now, he's a little bit smaller

439
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 4: than you like he's almost six y two, but he's

440
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 4: you know, right around two hundred and five pounds, so

441
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 4: you know, he he doesn't have necessarily the build that

442
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 4: you want. I think it really just comes down to,

443
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 4: you know, while he has the toughness, he has some

444
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 4: of the playmaking instincts that you want, he needs to

445
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 4: do a better job with taking care of the football

446
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 4: and answering pressure, so negotiating what the pass rusher is

447
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 4: doing and making sure he's making sound decisions. So I

448
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 4: just I think that you know, maybe you know, fans

449
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 4: and all of us being able to underrate how important

450
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 4: that QB two is on the roster. And you know,

451
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 4: the Browns have obviously, you know, with Sean Watson and

452
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 4: his contract, it's important that you have maybe some cheaper

453
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 4: options at the backup quarterback spot.

454
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 3: You have a guy in Thompson Robinson who they believe

455
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 3: can be that guy.

456
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll be nice. It'll be nice to see him develop.

457
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 2: You mentioned that game against USC. I mean he was

458
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 2: dinged up, he got bruised and battered, just kept getting

459
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 2: back up and it was a total knockdown slugfest.

460
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 8: For four quarters.

461
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 2: So it was to see. And I know he threw

462
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 2: all over my bowling green Falcons. It happens. It's not

463
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,479
Speaker 2: the first time. It probably be the last. UH in

464
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 2: the fifth route as well. Cameron Mitchell H Corner out

465
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 2: of Northwestern reg Newsom obviously pretty excited to get one

466
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 2: of his college teammates on this football team. But again,

467
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 2: it's a guy that if you know, he doesn't have

468
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 2: to play right away given the room, and he can develop.

469
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 2: But he has shown some flashes as well.

470
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 3: No doubt.

471
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 4: And I talked to him on the phone about a

472
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 4: month ago, just kind of getting some late information from

473
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 4: him and you know, learning more about him, and you know,

474
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 4: he really talked about Newsome as a guy that helped him,

475
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 4: you know, when he got through Northwestern. Really you know,

476
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 4: he's a close friendship with him, still talks, you know,

477
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 4: they have a close friendship, and so obviously you know

478
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 4: there that has been pretty special for those two to

479
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 4: be teammates again. So you know, you love the competitiveness

480
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 4: that he plays with. He's an athletic player. You know,

481
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 4: he might he's one of these guys that might not

482
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 4: have an elite trait, but he's pretty good across the board.

483
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 4: So you know a guy that you know, athleticism check,

484
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 4: aggressiveness check.

485
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 3: You want to see him, you know, play.

486
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 4: Man okay, zoned yes, inside outside, I mean, he has

487
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 4: a lot of those qualities and maybe maybe not a

488
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 4: quick twitch, burst kind of kind of athlete, but he

489
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,479
Speaker 4: stays within, you know, close contact with receivers. He does

490
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 4: a really nice job with his coverage, and you know

491
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 4: he's you know, very his technique matters to him, you know,

492
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 4: and so he can see the way he reads things

493
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 4: and the way he uses his footwork. You know, this

494
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 4: is a guy that that's ready to be a pro.

495
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 4: He he made my top one hundred for a reason.

496
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 5: You know.

497
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 4: I think he's a guy that the ended up going

498
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 4: a little bit later than we thought, but could end

499
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 4: up being a steal for the Browns.

500
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 2: I like to hear that Luke Whippler final Browns pick

501
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 2: sixth rounder center from Ohio State. A guy that I

502
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 2: think many in Columbus thought was going to come back.

503
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 2: It were surprised that he that he came out out.

504
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 2: They thought maybe another year under the tutelage of Ryan

505
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 2: Day and company, he might be as high as a

506
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 2: first or second round pick. Instead, he goes in the

507
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 2: sixth round to the Cleveland Browns and all signs are

508
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 2: you were just talking about Mitchell and and what a

509
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 2: great student of the game he is, Whipler the same thing.

510
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 3: Whippler wants to be great, you know, he doesn't want

511
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 3: to be good, he wants to be great. And six

512
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 3: three three h five.

513
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 4: You know, I gave him an early fifth round grade,

514
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 4: so he went just a little bit later than I

515
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 4: thought he would. But yeah, I agree, this is a

516
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 4: young player who really should have gone back for another

517
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 4: year to get better before making that jump, but he

518
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 4: felt he was ready.

519
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 3: And now it's it's on him.

520
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 4: You know, it's it's to go to camp and you

521
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 4: know you're gonna be duking it out with NFL pros,

522
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 4: and you know, really it's.

523
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 3: Your chance to make your mark. So he's a really

524
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 3: good athlete.

525
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,479
Speaker 4: You know, I think of like a like a Garrett

526
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 4: Bradberry type, and with the way he moved and some

527
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 4: of the range. I like his fit with this offense.

528
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 4: You think about everything they want to be with this offense.

529
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 4: Whippler fits that mold. So you find a guy like

530
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 4: this that down the has down the road starting potential.

531
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a heck of a pick of the

532
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 3: sixth round.

533
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:21,119

00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 2: about the University of Missouri. We played out there. I

570
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 2: went to Bowling Green. Okay, all right, this is way

571

574
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 2: even born, I was doing this. So we went out

575

576
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 2: Bowling Green, big moment. I wasn't on that trip. The

577
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 2: following year, we went back out there, and you guys

578
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 2: had a guy by the name of Kolby Jones. He

579
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 2: was a quarterback. They were a top five team in

580
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 2: the country. I'm the sideline reporter. Your fans threw oranges

581
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 2: at me. Because the Orange Bowl was the national championship game.

582
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 2: We got covered in orange is. Our coach pulled the

583
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 2: team off the field. They had to make an announcement

584
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 2: to stop throwing oranges at us. Where you guys were

585
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 2: gonna have to forfeit? Wow, not kidding, it was I

586
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,719
Speaker 2: smelled like orange. I never got a chance to shower

587
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 2: after the game. We were on a plane home. It

588
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 2: was one hundred degrees. But it was a fantastic stadium.

589
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 2: Like fans sitting on the grass rock him. Uh huh. Yeah,

590
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 2: it was a pretty fantastic little stadium. So welcome to Cleveland. Sorry,

591
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 2: not about me, it's about him. Isaiah Maguire joins us

592
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 2: here on the show. What's it been like since you

593
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 2: walked into the Cross Country Mortgage campus?

594
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 9: Honestly, like I said, it's been a blessing that guy.

595
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 9: Give the glory to God for me to be a

596
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 9: part of this organization, especially with a lot of rich

597
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 9: history at this organization, you know, being the Cleveland Browns

598
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 9: and all the great players that have been through this organization,

599
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 9: you know, for me to be a part of that

600
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 9: and now start my journey to stamp my name in

601
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 9: this organization, it's truly a blessing.

602
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 2: Was there a moment? Was there a moment where you

603
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 2: just kind of stopped and took it all in and

604
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 2: then said, I can't believe I'm here. I can't believe

605
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 2: this is happening.

606
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 9: Honestly, for me, it was when I was able to

607
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 9: see my locker and seeing the you know, the players

608
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 9: I'm next to and the players that are a cross

609
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 9: from me. It's like, man, I've been looking at these

610
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 9: players for years and now you know I'm their locker

611
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 9: made or you know their teammate now, and you know

612
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 9: I'm going to learn from them, and grows as a player,

613
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 9: grow as a person.

614
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 2: Like I said, I'm just all excited. So growing up,

615
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 2: you end up going to Missouri from Oklahoma?

616
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 5: Yes, sir?

617
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 2: What made you go to the University of Missouri? Missouri?

618
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 9: So for me, I wasn't necessarily heavy recruit out of

619
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 9: high school. So Missouri's my only player of five offer,

620
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 9: So I feel like God made it easy for my decision.

621
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 2: That's pretty good. Sure, absolutely, sir. You gained playing time

622
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 2: right away as a freshman, Yes, sir, work your way

623
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 2: up up senior year. You were all SEC in some publications,

624
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 2: which is pretty great considering the talent level for sure

625
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 2: in the SEC. Is there a moment that you will

626
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 2: always remember about your time at Missouri? There is there

627
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 2: a stand up motor? Is there a favorite moment? Favorite moment?

628
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 9: M I feel like that's pretty hard to pick from,

629
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 9: you know, for me, honestly, just being in the locker

630
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 9: room with my teammates and spending time with them, and

631
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 9: being in the indoor with them doing extra work, or

632
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 9: whether it's you know, after practice or workouts or whatnot,

633
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 9: and just going and hanging out with each other at

634
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 9: you know, someone's apartment or someone's door room, you.

635
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 2: Know, whatever it may be.

636
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 9: So for us at you know, at at the University Missouri,

637
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 9: defensive line was a pretty tight knit group. So for us,

638
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 9: like I said, we we know family, that was our

639
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 9: big model thing or d Lion's it was what we

640
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 9: called it, you know, our fraternity per se. So honestly,

641
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 9: just just being around those guys and being in a

642
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 9: locker room and you know, having an impact on as

643
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 9: many people as I can in that building for sure.

644
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 2: All Right, So leadership is a big part of who

645
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 2: you are. That's what it sounds like. You were voted

646
00:31:55,640 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 2: captain your senior ye're at Missouri. What is it to

647
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 2: be a good leader in your opinion, honestly.

648
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 9: Just doing the right things, you know, first and foremost,

649
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 9: you can't necessarily try to lead someone and tell them

650
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 9: do something where you're not doing it. So you have

651
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 9: to have that accountability for yourself as a player, as

652
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 9: a person, as a teammate to do those right things. Secondly, obviously,

653
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 9: like I said, just making an impact and you know,

654
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 9: having an impact on people as a person, you have

655
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 9: to you know, have that gravitational pull you know, for

656
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 9: people to want to follow you. And obviously, you know,

657
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,239
Speaker 9: making plays on the field definitely kind of put you

658
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 9: in that limelight. But it's just it's more about it's

659
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 9: more than just making plays, you know. It's like I said,

660
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 9: and having those one on one interactions with people in

661
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 9: the locker room, you know at Miszoo college wise, whether

662
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 9: it's a walk on, whether it's a scholarship player, whether

663
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 9: it's the janitor, whether it's the training staff, just building

664
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 9: those relationships to where you know, we're all on the

665
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 9: same page and don't on accurt.

666
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 2: It's pretty good, not too shabby at all. So how

667
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 2: do you as a leader? You better leader at MISSOU?

668
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 2: How do you come in here when you're the new guy?

669
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 5: For sure?

670
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 2: Like how do you lead? You have to change your

671
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 2: leadership style at all.

672
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 9: It's not even necessarily that it's just starts all over again, honestly,

673
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 9: like I said, pretty much like being a freshman again

674
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 9: to where you like I said, you're just doing the

675
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 9: right things and you're putting your head down, you're working

676
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 9: continuously picking you know, picking the brains of the veterans,

677
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 9: like I said, building those relationships with everyone in the building. So,

678
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 9: like I said, even miss Katie in the building, I'm

679
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 9: building a great relationship with her in terms of, like

680
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 9: I said, just being new and being present. I'm spending

681
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 9: that extra time to accomplish the things that I want

682
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 9: to accomplish, but also, like said, helping this team win

683
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 9: a lot of football games.

684
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 2: What has the process been since that final game in

685
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 2: a Missouri uniform to now? Because it tends to be

686
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 2: a whirlwind and it takes a lot. You know, a

687
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 2: lot of the rookies have said, like, you really don't

688
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 2: get a chance. The veterans, I should say, have told us,

689
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 2: you don't really get a chance to catch your breath

690
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 2: until after your rookie season, when you actually have an

691
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 2: off season. There is there has not been an off season.

692
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 2: What has that been like since your last stay in

693
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 2: the MISSOI uniform?

694
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 9: Honestly, you know, picking back it off of what the

695
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 9: veterans said, it's true thus far. Like I said, you know,

696
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 9: you finish your senior season or you know, whatever year

697
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 9: you decide to declare for the NFL Draft, and now

698
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 9: you have to pick an agent. Now you have to

699
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 9: pick what place you want to train at. Now you

700
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 9: have to improve this, improve that. Now you're talking scouts

701
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 9: or you know, whoever it may be calling you or whatnot,

702
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 9: and a lot of people may be in your ear,

703
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:35,879
Speaker 9: but you still have to block out all that noise

704
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:37,879
Speaker 9: and focus on what's ahead of you. You know, keep

705
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 9: the main thing. The main thing is what my dad

706
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 9: likes to say. So I said, just having the mindset

707
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 9: to stay grounded, stay focused, keep the right people around you,

708
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 9: and you know, everything will become success.

709
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 2: Tight family absolutely, how many siblings five brothers, youngest, I

710
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 2: am the middle or you're right in the middle, in

711
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 2: the middle. What was that like growing.

712
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:02,919
Speaker 5: Up so one?

713
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 9: I mean, like so I have two older step brothers

714
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 9: and three younger biological brothers, and like I said, going

715
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 9: to visit my family, you know, with my stepbrothers, you know,

716
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 9: kind of being the little brother that got picked on,

717
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,320
Speaker 9: but definitely helped me kind of grow up just a

718
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 9: little bit a little tag get a little bit tougher

719
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 9: growing up for sure, you know, I said, also being

720
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,720
Speaker 9: a role model for my for my younger brothers.

721
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 2: In terms of like I said, this is how you

722
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,280
Speaker 2: want to conduct yourself, carey yourself.

723
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:31,240
Speaker 9: Growing up through whether it's your teenage years, college years

724
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 9: and now being a professional athlete. You don't be more

725
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 9: of an adult rather than anything. It's just continue to

726
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 9: be that role model because they're always looking for.

727
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 2: Sure, now do the younger to play football?

728
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 9: So my two younger fraternal twin brothers, the youngest they

729
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 9: will play sports of it.

730
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure they're in soccer right now.

731
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 9: My dad's trying to take time to develop, make sure

732
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 9: their brains developed.

733
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 2: And you know, no, I get and find what they

734
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 2: actually joy for sure. Okay, all right, Yeah, I went

735
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 2: through the whole soccer scer with my kids. I was

736
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 2: quite pleased when soccer ended and we can move on

737
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,919
Speaker 2: to something. No disrespect to soccer, but yeah, I'm disrespecting

738
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 2: soccer in terms of who you wanted to get to

739
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 2: know here. What's it been like since you've been in

740
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 2: the building working with Jim Schwartz, with Ben Bloom, who

741
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 2: is one of our favorites, just the defense as a whole.

742
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 2: What's it been like as you get ready Now you're

743
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 2: going to meet a lot of the veterans this week

744
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 2: for sure, you know when OTA is starting working through

745
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 2: mini camp. But have you gotten a chance to get

746
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,760
Speaker 2: to know a lot of those guys or the coaches.

747
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 2: Yet primarily the coaches.

748
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 9: Like I said, I spending time with Coach Bloom and

749
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 9: you know Coach Thomas in a defensive line room, and

750
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 9: I really haven't haven't had as many conversations with Coach Schwartz,

751
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 9: but I believe those will happen down the road. Obviously

752
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 9: with a lot of time on our hands, you know,

753
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 9: investing time in that building doing my football games. And

754
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 9: like I said, just again us no. The personnel and

755
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 9: like I said, everyone's in there is very januine and

756
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 9: they care about you as a person. So it's a

757
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 9: great culture in there, and that does nothing but make

758
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 9: a player for more comfortable in terms of environment to

759
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 9: be successful.

760
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 2: Your former teammate Jordan Elliott, have you got a chance

761
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:17,760
Speaker 2: to talk with him since you got drafted?

762
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 9: Finally, I actually have not gotten a chance to talk

763
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 9: with him yet, but I definitely know when he gets here,

764
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 9: I'm trying to side if I want to jump on

765
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 9: and give him a big hug or you know, keep

766
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 9: it cool and cordial. But you know, those are one

767
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 9: of the players that I looked up to, you know,

768
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 9: when I was a freshman. You know, it was his

769
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 9: last year in Missoo going out. Like I said, he

770
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 9: was always a guy that did the right things and

771
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 9: did extra and you know, always had a mental sharp

772
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 9: focus about himself as a person. So he carried himself

773
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 9: as a pro before he actually got to the pros.

774
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 2: What is your goal here before the team breaks, you know,

775
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 2: for the for a quick little summer break on June eighth,

776
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 2: you know, what's your goal here for the next month?

777
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 9: Honestly, just improve as a player, improve my fundamentals, to

778
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 9: my technique, get to know that playbook really well. Pick

779
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,800
Speaker 9: the into the veterans, like I said, you know, for

780
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 9: in those you know, for those guys, those are my mentors.

781
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 9: And like I said, for me to be the player

782
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 9: that I want to be, I have to you know,

783
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 9: kind of get under their wing or whatnot. Like I said,

784
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 9: it's been literally being a freshman again. And like I said,

785
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 9: picking their brain and figuring out, you know, what what

786
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 9: is your routine and how you take care of your body.

787
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 9: You know, what do you eat, how do you study film,

788
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 9: how do you do work outside? What is the right time,

789
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 9: When is the right time the rest your body so

790
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 9: you don't get burnt out.

791
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 2: Just those different things. Honestly, all right, if if you

792
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 2: have it, do you believe in a cheat day or

793
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 2: a cheat meal.

794
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 5: Day?

795
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 2: I got a bad I got a bad sweet too?

796
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, what what's to go to?

797
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 5: A lot of sweets?

798
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 8: I mean?

799
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,280
Speaker 2: Is there is there a favorite? Is there a pie?

800
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 2: Is there a cookies?

801
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 9: My grammy sweet potato pie is the best dessert in

802
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 9: the world for me. That's just my personal opinion, but

803
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 9: kind of a fact.

804
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 2: Also you.

805
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 9: Name it fruit, snacks, cookies and what I like. Said,

806
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 9: but even on a cheat day, I have to limit myself.

807
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 2: Everything's got to be in moderation, got to absolutely is

808
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 2: there if you can only eat one food for the

809
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:14,439
Speaker 2: rest of your life, what would you eat?

810
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 6: Mmm?

811
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 2: Oh that's a great question. Honestly. Is it like a

812
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 2: certain type of food or it can be you know me,

813
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 2: I love pizza, Okay, I can eat pizza any anytime,

814
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 2: any day. I can. I can see that answer. I

815
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 2: respect that answer. Man. For me, it will have to

816
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 2: be some type of variation of barbecue, okay, sure, all right, ribs, chicken,

817

Speaker 2: pull pork. I'm not a close lafe land all right

Speaker 2: brisket in it got to biscuit. They do a fantastic

820
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,560

00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:43,320
Speaker 2: How are you, buddy? Fantastic? The weather, no complaints, can't complain.

850
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 2: Seventy one degrees, a little hazy, but a nice breeze.

851
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 10: Not very realistic for the season, but enjoy Wild's here.

852
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 2: You and I were having this conversation. You're like, if

853
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,320
Speaker 2: it's two degrees, I don't know, can you really complain?

854
00:41:56,360 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, Christmas Eve, not ideal, but here we are.

855
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 2: You're one in the books. And I talked to Jerome

856
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 2: Ford about this how different has the off season been

857
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 2: because you really didn't have an off season. When you're

858
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 2: a rookie and you get drafted, you're right into it.

859
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 2: No off season.

860
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's especially for me, it's like kicking wise, you

861
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 10: kind of go through like ramp up periods and then

862
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 10: de sale periods and breaks and stuff like that. Rookie season,

863
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 10: it's like you start up spring because in college you

864
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 10: go the whole summer, so you basically you go springball.

865
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 10: You take a break after you're my sophomore season, than

866
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:39,879
Speaker 10: I start up in spring ball, and I don't really

867
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:45,800
Speaker 10: stop kicking until January of twenty twenty three, so it's

868
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 10: getting close to two years straight of just kicking without

869
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 10: a real solid break. So I definitely took some very

870
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 10: solid time off and it's definitely a big change in

871
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 10: perspective and like how you your outlook on everything coming

872
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,800
Speaker 10: because you come in and it's kind of big eyes

873
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 10: and look around in the locker room and see all

874
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 10: these guys you see on TV, and then it's, uh,

875
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 10: you start having all these expectations for the seasons, everyone

876
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 10: telling you how it's gonna be, and then you finally

877
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 10: get the experience it for yourself and know what you

878
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 10: need to focus on for the next year and what

879
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 10: is a big deal, and what's a bigger deal than

880
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 10: you thought, And it kind of just gives you all

881
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 10: these you know what to expect and what to to

882
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 10: really focus on and to improve for next year. And

883
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 10: it's it's definitely weight off the shoulders going into year two,

884
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 10: because I think part of it's kind of just treading

885
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 10: water your first year and you just want to make

886
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 10: sure you stay in the league, and then now you

887
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 10: know what to expect and you get to move forward

888
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 10: and start to swim rather than just dreadwater.

889
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 2: What's the biggest thing you learned in your rookie season.

890
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 10: I think the biggest thing I learned is actually that

891
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 10: I focused way too much on trying to be a kicker,

892
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 10: like a better kicker to deal with the weather, when

893
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 10: really I was all right that kicker. I just needed

894
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 10: to keep doing what I had been doing, because to

895
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:05,800
Speaker 10: be honest, the weather was never the problem. I would

896
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 10: just focus so much on that that I would almost

897
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 10: put so much on that that when it came to

898
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,720
Speaker 10: other stuff that was almost like should be like simple,

899
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 10: what one would call simple, that it was just like

900
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 10: I would brain fart and like that's when stuff would

901
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 10: go wrong. So I think knowing that I can handle

902
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 10: the weather and the wind is Yes, it sucks and

903
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 10: it's hard to deal with, but I'm capable of it.

904
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 10: It's not something I need to do something special for.

905
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 10: I just have to account for it. Knowing that is Uh.

906
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 10: I think it's going to be important for me going

907
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:38,919
Speaker 10: in this next year.

908
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 2: Is the NFL is it more mental than maybe college?

909
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 10: In the college game, I would say there's added stressors

910
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 10: on the mental but like just like the sole game, No,

911
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 10: it's not more mental. It's just now there's more outside

912
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,959
Speaker 10: pressures outside the game. It's you have a contract, it's

913
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:00,359
Speaker 10: how you make money, it's your families and stuff that.

914
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 10: So it's there's that added on to it. But I

915
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 10: wouldn't say it's like purely out on the field, I'm

916
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 10: not thinking about that stuff, so it's just the game. Still,

917
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 10: I wouldn't say it's extra. I think more I'm at

918
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:13,800
Speaker 10: a higher level. So I wanted to take things to

919
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 10: a higher level. And that's when I started like, Okay,

920
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 10: I'm going to do all this so I can make

921
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,240
Speaker 10: sure that I'm really good when it gets super windy

922
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 10: and when it's really cold and all this stuff, when

923
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 10: really I already was good when it came to that stuff.

924
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 10: It's just windier and colder, and you just have to

925
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 10: account for it. I think that was kind of just

926
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:33,839
Speaker 10: that's the first thing people brought up. Like literally five

927
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 10: minutes after got drafted, I got on a phone call

928
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 10: and my dad's jeep in the parking lot of walk

929
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 10: Ons and Remember, and the first question is like, how

930
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 10: are you gonna deal with zero degrees and forty five

931
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:44,839
Speaker 10: mile an hour wins.

932
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 2: I'm like, uh, it's really nice right now I'm in

933
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 2: a jeep. But so it was.

934
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:55,359
Speaker 10: I think I just I that people hype that up

935
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 10: to me too much, and I take response, I took

936
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 10: too much account for or and I just really and

937
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 10: I did well focusing on it, but then I let

938
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 10: other things fall the wayside. And I think knowing I

939
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 10: can deal with that and just being who I am

940
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,800
Speaker 10: as a kicker is what I need to do better.

941
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 2: Is there such a thing as kicking too much? You know,

942
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,839
Speaker 2: you mentioned it from like the season ended, and you

943
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 2: said this the off season, you've been able to rest

944
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 2: a little bit and take a break and walk away.

945
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:29,760
Speaker 2: You never really had that. I mean, you were kicking

946
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 2: from the moment you touched down here in Cleveland and

947
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,240
Speaker 2: you never really got a chance to stop.

948
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 10: Yeah, So I would say, as like from my freshman

949
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:40,799
Speaker 10: year of high school and I started kicking till now,

950
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 10: every year I've kicked less and less and less, and

951
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 10: even this year, i'd say, before I went and really

952
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,800
Speaker 10: kicked less than fifty to seventy five balls when I

953
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 10: would go out and kick anytime, and now I don't think.

954
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 10: I don't think I've touched fifty kicks at once. And

955
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 10: I don't want to say that. People might take that

956
00:46:58,200 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 10: as he's not working hard on and He's like, no,

957
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 10: it's I just got to be super intentional about every

958
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 10: rep and not and kick until I don't want to

959
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:07,359
Speaker 10: kick until I'm tired. I want to kick and still

960
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 10: feel good at the end of my session. Because on

961
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 10: game days, you're not going to have that game age.

962
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 10: You're probably gonna be tired than me because it's a

963
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:17,320
Speaker 10: you got to be swarm up an hour and a

964
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:18,840
Speaker 10: half two hours for the game, and you have to

965
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 10: stay warm for a three and a half hour game,

966
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:25,320
Speaker 10: So it's you got to keep your body prepared in

967
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 10: shape for that, not trying to beat it up every

968
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 10: time you go and kick a ball.

969
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 2: So I've gotten better about that. Your new special teams coordinator,

970
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 2: Bob but Van Trone was on Cleveland Browns Daily a

971
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 2: few weeks ago and he said, it's you know, some

972
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 2: guys like to kick one hundred and fifty two hundred

973
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,839
Speaker 2: balls in a season, like craziness, how long, how much

974
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:48,359
Speaker 2: they want to kick some guys don't. Like you have

975
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 2: to find that middle ground and you have to find

976
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,239
Speaker 2: what works. And has that been the case for you

977
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 2: here as you've gone through here, especially now with a

978
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:56,839
Speaker 2: new coordinator.

979
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 10: I'm definitely not someone that doesn't like to kick a

980
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 10: lot of I like to kick more balls than other

981
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:05,279
Speaker 10: people would say. Well, I'm also learning to dial because

982
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 10: it's almost like like I'm yearning to like work harder,

983
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:13,479
Speaker 10: because that's always like I was like, did I really

984
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 10: get like enough work today? Like did I like get

985
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:17,840
Speaker 10: better today? And I feel like sometimes I equate that

986
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 10: kicking more footballs when really I need to equate that

987
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 10: to being intentional and not just wasting a rep and

988
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 10: just going out there and swinging for no reason exactly.

989
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:28,880
Speaker 2: It's making the kick count it's making every kick count yep.

990
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 2: And it's not like every kid.

991
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 10: I'm not saying I need to make every kick in press,

992
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 10: but it's I'm accomplishing something on every kick and whether

993
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 10: it's I'm trying to accomplish keeping the Okay, I kept

994
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:39,879
Speaker 10: the right hit back there, but I missed it because

995
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 10: I didn't do something else. I still kept the right

996
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:44,439
Speaker 10: hit back and now I can add add the two

997
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 10: together for the next rep and stuff like that.

998
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 2: It's almost like golf. Yep. It's exactly like golf. I

999
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 2: get in my own head currently. A week ago, I've

1000
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 2: wanted to quit the game of golf, and then Sunday

1001
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:57,120
Speaker 2: I'm played really well and now I'm back in.

1002
00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 10: At some point in every round, everyone wants to quit. Well,

1003
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:05,320
Speaker 10: if last week you would have been like, maybe you

1004
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,880
Speaker 10: should quit. I've thrown a couple of clubs this offseason,

1005
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 10: so I understand.

1006
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 2: I have a great club throwing story. I've done it

1007
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 2: once and I won't do it again, and it is

1008
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 2: not for this podcast have I might have broken a

1009
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:23,239
Speaker 2: putter and maybe also damaged some golf course equipment in

1010
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:26,439
Speaker 2: the process because the club took a right turn left

1011
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 2: turns to hit the R No, No, it definitely was

1012
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:32,479
Speaker 2: not good talking with Katie York here on the best

1013
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 2: podcast available. So what has what is the difference from

1014
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 2: last year to this year in terms of the coordinator?

1015
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 2: You know new and I'm not I'm not asking you

1016
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:47,839
Speaker 2: about Coach Prief because we all have a special spot

1017
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 2: in our hearts for Coach Prief. But you have a

1018
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:51,959
Speaker 2: new guy in Bubba ben Trum. What is he brought

1019
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:52,439
Speaker 2: to your room?

1020
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, I'm again, I'd never say anything bad

1021
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 10: about I love the reason I'm here. He I had

1022
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:01,879
Speaker 10: an amazing experienced him in the whole draft process. And yes,

1023
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 10: everybody has their personality when it comes in the building,

1024
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,280
Speaker 10: out of the building, on the field, off the field,

1025
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 10: and you got to accept her when for the are

1026
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 10: And I haven't even seen Bubba on the field, so

1027
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,880
Speaker 10: who knows what he's going to be like. But Bubba

1028
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 10: is definitely like They both are very high energy guys.

1029
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:21,400
Speaker 10: But the difference is Bubba was a player, and I

1030
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 10: think there comes a different perspective with that, and Bubba

1031
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 10: brings a lot of energy, but a lot of it's

1032
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 10: positive energy and he'll push you in your place, So

1033
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:30,760
Speaker 10: you need to put in your place. But he's also

1034
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 10: gonna tell you good job and give you a slap

1035
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 10: on the on the button, give you high five and

1036
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 10: all that stuff when you do something well. And it's

1037
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 10: been it's been cool to be around because he's kind

1038
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 10: of been the yind to my yang when it comes

1039
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:47,880
Speaker 10: to I'm super driven and like trying to like again

1040
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:49,959
Speaker 10: like kick a lot of ballstuff that, He's like, Cage,

1041
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:51,360
Speaker 10: you're doing a good job. Like you don't need to

1042
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 10: kick a thousand balls like that. Rep look good. You

1043
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:55,840
Speaker 10: don't need to change anything. Just continue to do that.

1044
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 10: Or when I try and add another thing to make

1045
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 10: my kick better, he's like, Nope, you're doing just fine

1046
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 10: like that. Just keep doing that. That's gonna work. He

1047
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 10: kind of like pulls me back on pulls back on

1048
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:08,359
Speaker 10: the reins, so which is nice and it's been cool

1049
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 10: to be around.

1050
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 2: Do you think he can still play?

1051
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 10: I have seen him like I've been doing, like I've

1052
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 10: been working out a lot doing. Like I'll go in

1053
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 10: there like on a Saturday Sunday and if I see

1054
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 10: anybody in there, it's usually him or coach s Tafanski

1055
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:26,719
Speaker 10: in there and public can run. Yeah, he can probably

1056
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 10: outrun me. Or now, because I don't run that much

1057
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:31,799
Speaker 10: these days, and I've seen him gone. He can move

1058
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 10: and he's yoked up.

1059
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 2: Every I was gonna say, every time I walk through

1060
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:38,399
Speaker 2: the fieldhouse on my way to go put down three

1061
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 2: thousand calories at lunch, I'm like, hey, look at this

1062
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:42,759
Speaker 2: guy over it.

1063
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 10: He's got that walk that just has that bounce in it.

1064
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 5: Uh huh.

1065
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:47,439
Speaker 2: I think he could take off.

1066
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 8: At any moment.

1067
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 2: How's the golf game? Golf games solid these days?

1068
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 10: It's it's when I first got back to Cleveland, it

1069
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:57,439
Speaker 10: was really solid. Then I hit this loll I got

1070
00:51:57,440 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 10: some new irons and I kind of struggle get him

1071
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:03,720
Speaker 10: and play. And then about a week before the golf outing,

1072
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 10: I started back hitting them. Well again, I'm probably hanging.

1073
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 10: I'm like eighty to eighty five right now. I'm waiting

1074
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:13,359
Speaker 10: for it to be all put together for one round.

1075
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:18,359
Speaker 10: I'm seventy to seventy eight. I'm hoping during my one

1076
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 10: month sabbatical when we go away, I'll find find a

1077
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,840
Speaker 10: stride and hit some low scores.

1078
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,360
Speaker 2: That's usually how this goes. Oh yeah, you figure it

1079
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 2: out right. We start training golf seasons out of yea

1080
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 2: and by the end of July, we're putting the club.

1081
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 10: So that's what I'm gonna buy. I would be able

1082
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 10: to scratch golfer if I didn't play football, I like,

1083
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 10: because golf season needs you to go play the girl

1084
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 10: and whoop him.

1085
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:40,359
Speaker 2: No, I can't.

1086
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 10: He was in the group in front of me at

1087
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 10: the Foundation. He can stripe his driver. I think I

1088
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 10: could maybe compete with irons and wedge play, but I

1089
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:50,919
Speaker 10: can't drive it like he can.

1090
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:52,839
Speaker 2: He can hit the ball far.

1091
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 10: He did see me drop like a fifty foot plug

1092
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 10: for eagle, though, So I think I got in his head.

1093
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 2: On that one. Perfect good. I like that anytime anybody

1094
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 2: can get in his head and mess him up, I'm

1095
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 2: totally for that. Talking with Cade York, big plans for

1096
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:11,960

00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 2: big plans.

Speaker 2: gotta let you go here, and I gotta let you run.

1120
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 2: Just a quick thought on that room and your specialist

1121
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:15,799
Speaker 2: room with Corey and Charlie. In the relationship to three

1122
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:17,919
Speaker 2: of you guys, it's so interesting because I think you'll

1123
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 2: look around the league and it's like sometimes it's like

1124
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:22,239
Speaker 2: a bunch of young guys, sometimes a bunch of old guys,

1125
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 2: and we're like split like one, two, three.

1126
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:28,359
Speaker 10: We have and Joe too, because show's here right now.

1127
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 2: Good golfer two. Joe's pretty good golf.

1128
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 10: We have me, a twenty two year old that has

1129
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 10: nothing to his name but a dog, basically like and

1130
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 10: I have like right a house. We have Joe, who

1131
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 10: is from South Carolina a few years older than me

1132
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 10: here living with Charlie right now. And then there's Corey

1133
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 10: who's twenty six I think how just had his first

1134
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:53,440
Speaker 10: child beginning last season, freshly married and living here. And

1135
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 10: then Charlie's thirty two has three old stage one, so

1136
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 10: it's like we're spread out across. We're all in three

1137
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:01,880
Speaker 10: different like stages life, and it's like it was kind

1138
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:04,240
Speaker 10: of weird for me coming into it because I'm like, Okay,

1139
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:05,719
Speaker 10: it's like y'all want to hang out.

1140
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:06,920

Speaker 10: But it's cool because it's like I kind of can

1143
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 10: like see how they have dealt with life and it

1144
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,279
Speaker 10: kind of gives me like a trail to fall and

1145
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 10: how to do things the right way.

1146
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 2: So it's it's cool for me.

1147
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 10: Maybe they wish they had someone older than me so

1148
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 10: they could look up to them, but no, they're stuck

1149

1183
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:07,080
Speaker 2: how nice has it been to actually have an off

1184
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:11,960
Speaker 2: season because college wise, there is no off season between

1185
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:14,600
Speaker 2: college and when you get drafted, essentially, there's not really

1186
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:17,160
Speaker 2: a lot of downtime. How's the off season been your

1187
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:18,920
Speaker 2: first as an NFL veteran?

1188
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 5: Now, it's been great in my opinion.

1189
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:23,680
Speaker 6: Like you said, you get that time off and you

1190
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:25,280
Speaker 6: got a little bit more money to spend, so you

1191
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 6: go on vacation, a lot of vacation, see family, friends,

1192
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:34,240
Speaker 6: hang out a little bit more. Not too many obligations

1193
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 6: to keep your body up. You know you're not gonna

1194
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 6: let yourself fall too far, but still, you know, get

1195
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:40,560
Speaker 6: to have a little bit of fun.

1196
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:43,800
Speaker 2: I believe our strength guys probably wouldn't let you allow

1197
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:46,440
Speaker 2: you to get out of shape too much. The buffet

1198
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 2: tour can be too long, so but a little fun.

1199
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 2: You mentioned you did a little vacationing. So far, where

1200
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 2: have you been?

1201
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:58,640
Speaker 6: I went to Mexico in March, Houston in January, and

1202
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 6: I've been back and forth from here to Tampa all

00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 2: the beers and you'll be fine. Otherwise you don't get

1235
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:20,560
Speaker 2: out of bed the next day and you waste an

1236
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 2: entire day, not that I would know from any experience.

1237

Speaker 2: Talking with your own forward running back here, second year, Vet.

1238
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 2: Biggest difference from year one to year two.

1239
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:32,720
Speaker 6: Confidence. I feel like I'm a lot more confident in

1240
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 6: what I'm doing. I don't I'm not a share. I

1241
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 6: kind of know how to move around the facility. I

1242
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 6: know how to handle myself with meetings. It's not as

1243
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:44,200
Speaker 6: nerve racking, Like everything isn't new. So now it's just

1244
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 6: like coming in here and you know, going to the

1245
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:47,919
Speaker 6: right people to get the right help get the things

1246
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:48,560
Speaker 6: I need.

1247
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:52,320
Speaker 2: Stump Mitchell in year two, what are his expectations and

1248
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 2: how much do they change from rookie year to now?

1249
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 2: Like you said, you know where you need to be

1250
00:59:56,920 --> 00:59:58,840
Speaker 2: and where you need to go, and what are his

1251
00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:01,280
Speaker 2: expectations here or too coach dump.

1252
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 6: You know, when I first got here, I think it's

1253
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:05,520
Speaker 6: like a thing with the new new people and rookies.

1254
01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 6: You know, he on you tight everything, and I think

1255
01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 6: this year he kind of backed up off me, let me,

1256
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:13,000
Speaker 6: you know, do what I do, and he coached me

1257
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:16,360
Speaker 6: up and like it's been really fun, you know, not

1258
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:18,120
Speaker 6: being the guy that he get on all the time.

1259
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:19,480
Speaker 6: Got a new guy in there.

1260
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:23,080
Speaker 2: So you know, it's a pretty good running back room too.

1261
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:26,600
Speaker 2: But I mean, you definitely there's always a fight for

1262
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 2: the opportunities and what are the biggest things that you've

1263
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:32,880
Speaker 2: worked on that you've been focused on here in the

1264
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 2: off season. As we count down the days to training.

1265
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 6: Camp, pass bro knowing who the block were to go

1266
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 6: route running and like you know, like coach Stump always

1267
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:43,880
Speaker 6: tell us, we know you can run the ball. He

1268
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:45,600
Speaker 6: tell us, all you know, you know you can run

1269
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:48,600
Speaker 6: the ball. Just do you know what to do, what

1270
01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:50,440
Speaker 6: to do, when to do it how I was supposed

1271
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 6: to do it.

1272
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 2: So as you get more and more comfortable in this offense, Uh,

1273
01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 2: you have a quarterback now that is here for the

1274
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:01,960
Speaker 2: entire season, and last year, I mean it was a challenge.

1275
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:05,560
Speaker 2: Jacobe did a great job, but then you know, eleven

1276
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:07,720
Speaker 2: games in you got to make there's a quarterback change,

1277
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:10,200
Speaker 2: and that changes the philosophy on things a little bit.

1278
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:12,760
Speaker 2: What's it been like to have a little more stability

1279
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:17,040
Speaker 2: and having one guy adobts his back as well under center.

1280
01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 2: What's it been like just to have Watson there the

1281
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:20,280
Speaker 2: entire time?

1282
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 5: It's fun.

1283
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:24,320
Speaker 6: Like you know, in the last few games that he

1284
01:01:24,360 --> 01:01:26,720
Speaker 6: did play, you see that he break the pocket like

1285
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 6: he real strong in the pocket. He almost looked like

1286
01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:31,120
Speaker 6: a running back breaking tackles in the pocket. But you know,

1287
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 6: just when he's scrambling making sure that we you know,

1288
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:35,919
Speaker 6: get on the same page as him.

1289
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 5: His terminology.

1290
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 6: You know, like it just feel good to know that

1291
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:41,439
Speaker 6: like throughout the season, it's going to be the same

1292
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:43,480
Speaker 6: thing throughout. You know, we don't have to worry about

1293
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 6: too many changes, and we out here pretty much building

1294
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:47,640
Speaker 6: that connection to get ready for the season.

1295
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:50,800
Speaker 2: All right. Best moment from your rookie season.

1296
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 5: Best moment from our rookie season.

01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:42,040
Speaker 6: I think did they win the division last year?

1319

1350
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 2: to the twenty five yard hard line if we take

1351
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 2: a knee now that the owners just passed new rules

1352
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 2: yesterday from a special team standpoint, But what's it been

1353
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 2: like working with Bubba and impressions on him so far?

1354
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:15,000
Speaker 6: It's been great. It's been fun. He came from Indiana

1355
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:17,120
Speaker 6: and that's a dude from that. They had a return

1356
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:19,640
Speaker 6: at number thirty four, Isaiah Rogers. He also from Tampa,

1357
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:22,880
Speaker 6: and like you know, I kind of got went from

1358
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:24,840
Speaker 6: him like yeah, coach, a good dude, and pretty much

1359
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:28,240
Speaker 6: everything he told me was true. Another guy that was

1360
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:30,560
Speaker 6: that was there for through. I think Mini camp last

1361
01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:32,720
Speaker 6: year he played with Cincinnati with me. He told me

1362
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:34,080
Speaker 6: it was good and I came in got to see

1363
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:37,160
Speaker 6: it for myself. And since they won, he'd been helpful, good,

1364
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:39,840
Speaker 6: checking on me, making sure everything good, teaching me everything

1365
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:41,200
Speaker 6: that he can in a short time.

1366
01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:41,919
Speaker 5: He done been here.

1367
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:45,720
Speaker 2: How important is it? Maybe it's not important, but do

1368
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 2: you think it's important that you know he played and

1369
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:51,960
Speaker 2: he played here at a high level on special teams.

1370
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 6: I think it's really he actually going there and show

1371
01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:56,440
Speaker 6: I show his film off sometimes. But I think it's

1372
01:04:56,480 --> 01:04:59,720
Speaker 6: really good, you know, having somebody that you can relate

1373
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:02,320
Speaker 6: to that's done it, been through it, know what you're

1374
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:05,000
Speaker 6: going through and how stressful it can be, and relating

1375
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:05,200
Speaker 6: to you.

1376
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:08,480
Speaker 5: I think that's pretty good. And he's still kind of young, He's.

1377
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:10,840
Speaker 2: Still he can still play. I think we had him

1378
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:13,160
Speaker 2: on Brown's Daily the other day and I think he

1379
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:15,800
Speaker 2: wanted to go out and do some things after. I

1380
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:17,600
Speaker 2: always see him working out in the gym. It's quite

1381
01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:21,120
Speaker 2: humbling from my standpoint. Yeah, I'm not Bacco over here

01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:01,519
Speaker 11: I got and I was like, oh it was amazing.

1478
01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:04,880
Speaker 2: I was gonna say it's not. It's not awful for

1479
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:07,320
Speaker 2: like five months. I grew up here, so five months

1480
01:10:07,360 --> 01:10:09,519
Speaker 2: out of the year, it's a fantastic place to live.

1481
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:12,759
Speaker 2: I'll ask you this again in December maybe and maybe

1482
01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:15,599
Speaker 2: a little bit of different answer. But I brought my coats.

1483
01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:18,120
Speaker 2: It's all good, that's fine. Yeah, hey have a coat,

1484
01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:21,800
Speaker 2: and you're done. You know, hopefully we're done in early February,

1485
01:10:21,840 --> 01:10:25,400
Speaker 2: mid February. But by that point, you know, the month

1486
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:27,439
Speaker 2: of February is not great anyways. I don't think the

1487
01:10:27,479 --> 01:10:29,360
Speaker 2: sun comes out. So that's when you go somewhere warm

1488
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:31,200
Speaker 2: and yeah, for sure, go hang out. All right. You

1489
01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:33,920
Speaker 2: were born in Gainesville, Florida. When'd you end up how'd

1490
01:10:33,920 --> 01:10:36,400
Speaker 2: you end up in Houston, Texas? When'd you end up? Moving?

1491
01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:40,400
Speaker 11: Early years, about three or four, my mom moved to Houston.

1492
01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:41,559
Speaker 11: She got a job in Houston.

1493
01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:45,880
Speaker 2: Okay, grew up in Houston. Played football, anything else you play?

1494
01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:49,639
Speaker 11: I just I skateboarded a little bit, really, yeah, skateboard

1495
01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:50,160
Speaker 11: all right.

1496
01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:53,680
Speaker 2: Jeff McDaniel from our content production team still does it,

1497
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:56,920
Speaker 2: Baco does it? So? Uh do you still do it?

1498
01:10:57,320 --> 01:10:58,760
Speaker 11: I mean I'm too big now. And I don't want

1499
01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:00,800
Speaker 11: to get hurt, so it's a long fall.

1500
01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:04,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, there's a reason why I stopped snowboarding

1501
01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:07,240
Speaker 2: because it just hurt. You know, everything hurt when you

1502
01:11:07,520 --> 01:11:10,559
Speaker 2: land and you fall six feet. So yeah, all right,

1503
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:14,040
Speaker 2: so you skateboarded. What made you decide to go to Oklahoma?

1504
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:20,200
Speaker 11: I guess I was actually committed to Oklahoma State. I

1505
01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:22,080
Speaker 11: ended up taking my visit to Oklahoma, and I just

1506
01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:24,800
Speaker 11: felt like home, you know. After being there, I saw

1507
01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:27,080
Speaker 11: that it was going to just be a really good

1508
01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:31,439
Speaker 11: place to nurture my you know, my NFL hopeful dreams,

1509
01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:31,640
Speaker 11: you know.

1510
01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:34,599
Speaker 5: So I ended up choosing there, switching my commitment.

1511
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:36,800
Speaker 2: Is there a favorite memory that you have from your

1512
01:11:36,840 --> 01:11:38,519
Speaker 2: time at Oklahoma? You were a Big twelve Player of

1513
01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:42,719
Speaker 2: the Year on the defensive side of the football, first

1514
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:45,840
Speaker 2: team All Big Twelve. You wrecked up some pretty big

1515
01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:48,240
Speaker 2: accolades while you were at Oklahoma. Is there a memory

1516
01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:50,599
Speaker 2: that stands out, A big win, anything like that.

1517
01:11:51,160 --> 01:11:56,479
Speaker 11: I think favorite memory we beat Ohio State at Ohio State,

1518
01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:00,920
Speaker 11: I think and Baker Baker grab the flag and it

1519
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:03,920
Speaker 11: it hit it on their logo. I think that was

1520
01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:07,280
Speaker 11: like one of the craziest, like oh you memories I

1521
01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:07,960
Speaker 11: have for sure.

1522
01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:10,280
Speaker 2: You guys had a heck of a squad.

1523
01:12:10,479 --> 01:12:11,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, we did.

1524
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:14,879
Speaker 2: We had some good, good teams, uh in those years.

1525
01:12:15,439 --> 01:12:19,160
Speaker 2: What what prepared you in college to take that next

1526
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:20,120
Speaker 2: step to the NFL?

1527
01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:20,599
Speaker 5: Oh?

1528
01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:23,280
Speaker 11: I think, oh you they treated like I think it's

1529
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:27,840
Speaker 11: around like an NFL team, you know, very very business like,

1530
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:31,280
Speaker 11: very mature. They really hold you accountable, you know. So

1531
01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:33,280
Speaker 11: that prepared me for the league. So when I got here,

1532
01:12:33,400 --> 01:12:34,639
Speaker 11: the transition wasn't so hard.

1533
01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:38,840
Speaker 2: You get to the National Football League and things start off.

1534
01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:42,439

Speaker 5: Bowl and lost, So.

1538
01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:54,840
Speaker 2: I didn't want to dwell on. I'm like, let's go

1539
01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:55,639
Speaker 2: for the positive.

1540
01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:59,120
Speaker 11: So going back and winning one definitely felt a lot better.

1541
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:02,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.

1542
01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:05,160
Speaker 5: It felt like a movie. When people ask me, I

1543
01:13:05,240 --> 01:13:06,080
Speaker 5: don't really know what to say.

1544
01:13:06,120 --> 01:13:10,680
Speaker 11: I just tell them it was football heaven, Like it's

1545
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:13,479
Speaker 11: the crazy wild this most funnest things you can think

1546
01:13:13,520 --> 01:13:17,120
Speaker 11: of football related like that, that's what it is, you know, really, Yeah,

1547
01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:17,400
Speaker 11: it was.

1548
01:13:17,439 --> 01:13:17,760
Speaker 5: It was.

1549
01:13:17,920 --> 01:13:20,280
Speaker 11: It was so cool, like we felt like we were

1550
01:13:20,320 --> 01:13:22,559
Speaker 11: just like superheroes for like for like two months.

1551
01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:23,479
Speaker 5: It was it was amazing.

1552
01:13:23,600 --> 01:13:26,600
Speaker 2: All right, So you did go your rookie year and

1553
01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:31,920
Speaker 2: fell short as a team. How difficult really is it,

1554
01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:34,120
Speaker 2: not just to get back to the playoffs, but to

1555
01:13:34,160 --> 01:13:36,080
Speaker 2: even get back to the super Bowl and put yourselves

1556
01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:36,960
Speaker 2: in a position to win.

1557
01:13:37,080 --> 01:13:38,519
Speaker 5: Oh, it was super difficult.

1558
01:13:38,680 --> 01:13:40,599
Speaker 11: I believe that next year we didn't make the playoffs,

1559
01:13:40,640 --> 01:13:43,800
Speaker 11: you know, but you know, so you sort of get

1560
01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:45,640
Speaker 11: that recipe, you know, you know what it takes and

1561
01:13:45,640 --> 01:13:47,200
Speaker 11: what it looks like to get to a super Bowl,

1562
01:13:47,240 --> 01:13:51,120
Speaker 11: you know. So I'm really just glad to be able

1563
01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:52,920
Speaker 11: to have experience then and bring some of that experience

1564
01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:53,559
Speaker 11: over here.

1565
01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:58,120
Speaker 2: Talking with Obo Okaraqua, our new defensive end here on

1566
01:13:58,160 --> 01:14:01,680
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty three Cleveland Browns. Uh, you win a

1567
01:14:01,720 --> 01:14:07,160
Speaker 2: super Bowl and what was the biggest what was the

1568
01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:09,840
Speaker 2: best part of the after party? Was there? What was

1569
01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:13,559
Speaker 2: there a specific music artist or I mean we played,

1570
01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:15,240
Speaker 2: we played after we were in La.

1571
01:14:15,439 --> 01:14:18,400
Speaker 11: I think it was gonna but we were in La,

1572
01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:21,120
Speaker 11: so it was like every celebrity there, you know. But

1573
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:24,800
Speaker 11: I think my best memory for the after party, uh

1574
01:14:25,320 --> 01:14:27,679
Speaker 11: vond he got on his he got on the ones

1575
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:29,400
Speaker 11: and twos and he started DJing the party.

1576
01:14:30,479 --> 01:14:33,360
Speaker 2: Yeah that was cool, all right, all right, all right,

1577
01:14:33,800 --> 01:14:37,559
Speaker 2: all right, fast forward now a Cleveland Brown. You had

1578
01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:40,760
Speaker 2: some success last year in Houston, especially the second half

1579
01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:43,439
Speaker 2: of the year. You got the opportunity to play a

1580
01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:45,080
Speaker 2: little bit more and you made the most of it,

1581
01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:48,880
Speaker 2: and it really propelled you into free agency where you

1582
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:51,439
Speaker 2: had a lot of options. What made Cleveland stand out

1583
01:14:51,439 --> 01:14:51,640
Speaker 2: to you?

1584
01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:54,200
Speaker 11: I just saw the young talent on this team, you know,

1585
01:14:55,120 --> 01:14:59,040
Speaker 11: from top to bottom, his roster stacked offensive defense. You know,

1586
01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:02,720
Speaker 11: I just saw a great opportunity, you know, also being

1587
01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:05,080
Speaker 11: able to just play with you know, one of the

1588
01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:08,000
Speaker 11: best quarterbacks in the league. You know it was It's

1589
01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:10,479
Speaker 11: just on paper, it looked amazing playing on the opposite

1590
01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:11,400
Speaker 11: side of Myles Garrett.

1591
01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:14,080
Speaker 5: You know, it just was too too good of an

1592
01:15:14,080 --> 01:15:14,719
Speaker 5: offer to pass.

1593
01:15:15,160 --> 01:15:17,880
Speaker 2: What's it been like so far with Miles. I know

1594
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:20,479
Speaker 2: that he's been here for a little bit on and off,

1595
01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:22,160
Speaker 2: but your interactions with.

1596
01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:25,400
Speaker 11: Him, Oh, he's a super cool guy. You know, he

1597
01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:28,720
Speaker 11: he loves the game. He's probably somewhere training right now.

1598
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:31,519
Speaker 11: You know, the guy, he's a frequent nature. You know,

1599
01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:33,000
Speaker 11: he can do a lot of stuff that I'll never

1600
01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:33,519
Speaker 11: be able to.

1601
01:15:33,439 --> 01:15:34,200
Speaker 5: Do, you know.

1602
01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:37,040
Speaker 11: You know I say that I don't know, but I mean,

1603
01:15:37,080 --> 01:15:39,599
Speaker 11: I'm just really I'm really excited to play for play

1604
01:15:39,600 --> 01:15:40,280
Speaker 11: alongside him.

1605
01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:42,439
Speaker 5: You know, he's a really cool dude. Ready to learn

1606
01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:42,960
Speaker 5: a lot from him.

1607
01:15:43,040 --> 01:15:46,120
Speaker 2: What about Jim Schwartz? What stands out so far through

1608
01:15:46,160 --> 01:15:47,160
Speaker 2: the off season program?

1609
01:15:47,360 --> 01:15:47,960
Speaker 5: His energy?

1610
01:15:48,040 --> 01:15:50,679
Speaker 11: You know, he's the same guy every day. He loves

1611
01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:53,040
Speaker 11: the game. He wants us to play with the hair

1612
01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:55,160
Speaker 11: on fire. He's gonna allow us to. He literally told

1613
01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:57,040
Speaker 11: us to take the seat bet off and go play football.

1614
01:15:57,120 --> 01:15:58,439
Speaker 11: So so that's fun.

1615
01:15:58,360 --> 01:16:01,120
Speaker 2: It is. Is your one of your goals to have

1616
01:16:01,240 --> 01:16:02,679
Speaker 2: him wear your jersey a practice?

1617
01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:03,840
Speaker 5: That's definitely one of my goals.

1618
01:16:03,840 --> 01:16:06,160
Speaker 11: I don't want him to know that yet, but but

1619
01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:08,799
Speaker 11: when I do come out and see him wearing those jerseys,

1620
01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:10,360
Speaker 11: I'm like, when it's not a fifty four.

1621
01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:12,840
Speaker 5: I do get a little upset. So I like that.

1622
01:16:13,360 --> 01:16:16,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good. It's good to have that motivation. So

1623
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:18,920
Speaker 2: what are your goals as we get into the off

1624
01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:21,280
Speaker 2: season here? You know, I mean, you guys are around

1625
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:24,640
Speaker 2: for another couple of weeks and then you know, you

1626
01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:27,200
Speaker 2: get a little breather before you really hit the ground

1627
01:16:27,240 --> 01:16:28,439
Speaker 2: running here with training camps.

1628
01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:30,840
Speaker 11: So I have my short term goals is just to

1629

Speaker 11: just wait goals, you know, bodycom goals, and then team

1630

1633
01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:46,960

1634
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:48,880
Speaker 11: play for the same reason, you know. I don't have

1635

1693
01:19:12,520 --> 01:19:14,600
Speaker 7: I think, like you said, coach is gonna throw a

1694
01:19:14,600 --> 01:19:16,479
Speaker 7: lot of stuff at us, and they have early on.

1695
01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:19,720
Speaker 7: So it's been quite the adjustment coming in and just

1696
01:19:19,800 --> 01:19:21,840
Speaker 7: learning the whole new playbook, a whole new way to

1697
01:19:22,479 --> 01:19:25,799
Speaker 7: play offs line that Coach Callahan has and it's excellent.

1698
01:19:25,880 --> 01:19:27,519
Speaker 7: I think some of the stuff he does is brilliant,

1699
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:29,960
Speaker 7: and it's been really fun to kind of learn it all.

1700
01:19:31,479 --> 01:19:34,960
Speaker 2: Was there a was there a moment when you walked

1701
01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:38,360
Speaker 2: into the facility. There is that that first NFL moment

1702
01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:41,559
Speaker 2: that you're just kind of taking it back by that's

1703
01:19:41,600 --> 01:19:42,599
Speaker 2: happened here this week.

1704
01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:45,800
Speaker 7: I mean, honestly, it sounds a little goofy, but my

1705
01:19:45,840 --> 01:19:47,840
Speaker 7: first NFL moment was when they had like the face

1706
01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:50,040
Speaker 7: detector to get into the facility. I was like, this

1707
01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:52,800
Speaker 7: is very James bond Esk. This is pretty cool. I'm

1708
01:19:52,800 --> 01:19:55,120
Speaker 7: really at the next level now. So that was kind

1709
01:19:55,160 --> 01:19:57,120
Speaker 7: of my first moment. And then obviously just walking into

1710
01:19:57,120 --> 01:20:00,240
Speaker 7: the endoor facility and seeing all the player that have

1711
01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:01,960
Speaker 7: come through here in the past. I mean, guy I

1712
01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:04,439
Speaker 7: looked up to growing up, Joe Thomas and his poster

1713
01:20:04,840 --> 01:20:06,639
Speaker 7: up there. It was like, wow, like, I'm really here

1714
01:20:06,680 --> 01:20:08,680
Speaker 7: and it's really exciting. I'm really thrilled to be a

1715
01:20:08,760 --> 01:20:09,120
Speaker 7: part of it.

1716
01:20:09,200 --> 01:20:09,280
Speaker 5: All.

1717
01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:11,479
Speaker 2: Right, has Joe reached out to you yet?

1718
01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:12,400
Speaker 8: I know he is not.

1719
01:20:12,600 --> 01:20:14,160
Speaker 2: Don't worry, Yeah he will.

1720
01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:15,080
Speaker 5: He is.

1721
01:20:15,240 --> 01:20:19,280
Speaker 2: His love for offensive linemen and wanting young offensive linemen

1722
01:20:19,320 --> 01:20:20,680
Speaker 2: to get better. He does a lot of stuff with

1723
01:20:20,840 --> 01:20:22,640
Speaker 2: us still on the radio side and on the on

1724
01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:25,320
Speaker 2: the TV side, And I'm telling you he will reach

1725
01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:28,240
Speaker 2: out and use him as a resource, because I definitely will.

1726
01:20:28,520 --> 01:20:31,800
Speaker 2: He is He's a great human in addition to being

1727
01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:35,120
Speaker 2: a great teacher, so it matters. Speaking of great teachers,

1728
01:20:36,240 --> 01:20:39,080
Speaker 2: you've got two in the building and Coach Callahan and

1729
01:20:39,400 --> 01:20:41,720
Speaker 2: a guy that I don't think it's enough credit for

1730
01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:44,840
Speaker 2: the job he does, Coach Peters, who's probably one of

1731
01:20:44,880 --> 01:20:48,240
Speaker 2: the most intense people I think we've ever met and

1732
01:20:48,360 --> 01:20:52,639
Speaker 2: not intimidated by many people. But no Coach Peters can

1733
01:20:52,680 --> 01:20:54,760
Speaker 2: bring that. But what have they been like to work with?

1734
01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:57,439
Speaker 7: And they've been awesome I think the last I guess

1735
01:20:57,680 --> 01:20:59,479
Speaker 7: forty eight hours i've been able to start working with

1736
01:20:59,520 --> 01:21:02,720
Speaker 7: them now, it's been nothing but excitement on my end.

1737
01:21:02,760 --> 01:21:05,800
Speaker 7: I think there are really two, like you said, two

1738
01:21:05,840 --> 01:21:08,040
Speaker 7: of the brightest, awful to line minds in football. And

1739
01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:10,599
Speaker 7: for me, someone that really just likes to dive into

1740
01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:12,880
Speaker 7: x's and o's and technique part of the game. I

1741
01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:15,759
Speaker 7: could be around to better people this early in my career,

1742
01:21:15,840 --> 01:21:17,400
Speaker 7: so I'm just trying to pick their brains and learn

1743
01:21:17,479 --> 01:21:19,720
Speaker 7: as much as I can from them. Over these last

1744
01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:22,120
Speaker 7: couple of days, and for me, that's the only thing

1745
01:21:22,200 --> 01:21:23,840
Speaker 7: is just trying to one percent better every day, trying

1746
01:21:23,840 --> 01:21:25,280
Speaker 7: to pick one thing and try to work on it

1747
01:21:25,280 --> 01:21:26,639
Speaker 7: that day and get better at it.

1748
01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:30,479
Speaker 2: I noticed yesterday he was Coach Callahan was bringing you

1749
01:21:30,560 --> 01:21:35,479
Speaker 2: around and having you demonstrate certain things. And that's the

1750
01:21:35,520 --> 01:21:37,920
Speaker 2: one thing that people at Ohio State have told us

1751
01:21:37,960 --> 01:21:42,280
Speaker 2: as well. We've had your coaches on our Browns radio

1752
01:21:42,320 --> 01:21:45,200
Speaker 2: show and they said, you're a tactician. You are a

1753
01:21:45,240 --> 01:21:48,040
Speaker 2: student of the game in every way, shape and form.

1754
01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:51,160
Speaker 2: And is that something that you learned in high school

1755
01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:52,680
Speaker 2: and college or where did you learn that?

1756
01:21:54,280 --> 01:21:56,080
Speaker 8: I think just growing up my whole life.

1757
01:21:56,520 --> 01:21:58,160
Speaker 7: To give my high school coaches, Coach Off and the

1758
01:21:58,240 --> 01:22:01,120
Speaker 7: coach of Carlot credit, they kind of really built that

1759
01:22:01,200 --> 01:22:03,400
Speaker 7: into me and really made sure. As obviously everyone's been

1760
01:22:03,439 --> 01:22:05,120
Speaker 7: telling me last couple of days, I'm undersized, so I

1761
01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:06,360
Speaker 7: have to be a really good technician.

1762
01:22:06,400 --> 01:22:09,840
Speaker 8: But for me, I use that just because I have

1763
01:22:09,920 --> 01:22:11,120
Speaker 8: to be. It's what I love to do.

1764
01:22:11,200 --> 01:22:13,920
Speaker 7: And for me, I think anything you do in any

1765
01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:14,479
Speaker 7: kind of sports.

1766
01:22:14,520 --> 01:22:17,280
Speaker 8: I grew up playing a bunch of sports and it was.

1767
01:22:17,280 --> 01:22:20,439
Speaker 7: Always about learning the why and learning how to do

1768
01:22:20,479 --> 01:22:22,640
Speaker 7: it properly, which makes you a great player. So I

1769
01:22:22,680 --> 01:22:25,000
Speaker 7: think for me, coming here and just being around two

1770
01:22:25,040 --> 01:22:27,439
Speaker 7: coaches I preach and love the technique of it has

1771
01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:28,200
Speaker 7: been awesome for me.

1772
01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:31,120
Speaker 2: They had no question about it. They take their time

1773
01:22:31,240 --> 01:22:34,439
Speaker 2: and yeah, every offensive limich that comes through the doors

1774
01:22:34,520 --> 01:22:38,000
Speaker 2: is is better for it dealing with both of those guys.

1775
01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:42,320
Speaker 2: What was your top thirty visit? Like you were you

1776
01:22:42,439 --> 01:22:44,800
Speaker 2: had a visit here before the draft, so you had

1777
01:22:44,800 --> 01:22:46,439
Speaker 2: a little bit of an idea that the Browns had

1778
01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:48,840
Speaker 2: an interest. Yes, what was that? Like, can you tell

1779
01:22:48,880 --> 01:22:49,439
Speaker 2: me about that?

1780
01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:50,599
Speaker 8: Yeah? That was awesome.

1781
01:22:50,680 --> 01:22:52,680
Speaker 7: I think coming up here is a quick drive from

1782
01:22:52,720 --> 01:22:55,240
Speaker 7: Columbus where I was training after the combine, and I'm

1783
01:22:55,280 --> 01:22:57,040
Speaker 7: just getting up here and getting to the facility again

1784
01:22:57,160 --> 01:22:59,960
Speaker 7: to meet coach Defanski, Coach Callahan, coach Peters. I mean,

1785
01:23:00,360 --> 01:23:02,960
Speaker 7: I remember I called like my agent on the way

1786
01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:05,320
Speaker 7: home and I said, like, man, like that was just

1787
01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:06,960
Speaker 7: worth the drive just to be able to sit down

1788
01:23:06,960 --> 01:23:09,080
Speaker 7: with coach Callen and coach Peters for the hour and

1789
01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:11,720
Speaker 7: a half. We did a quick little install period and

1790
01:23:11,800 --> 01:23:13,920
Speaker 7: I was like, that was amazing. I was writing my

1791
01:23:13,960 --> 01:23:16,519
Speaker 7: own notes of things they were teaching me. And just

1792
01:23:16,640 --> 01:23:19,200
Speaker 7: they have such a great intellectual view of the game

1793
01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:22,599
Speaker 7: that very few have. So yeah, it was an awesome

1794
01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:24,800
Speaker 7: experience and I was so happy they were able to

1795
01:23:24,840 --> 01:23:25,200
Speaker 7: draft me.

1796
01:23:25,640 --> 01:23:28,800
Speaker 2: Talk to me about those Ohio State players, your teammates.

1797
01:23:28,880 --> 01:23:31,160
Speaker 2: I mean, there's four of you that are coming in,

1798
01:23:31,240 --> 01:23:34,000
Speaker 2: so you do have some familiar faces. And one of

1799
01:23:34,040 --> 01:23:35,880
Speaker 2: them is a guy that has been in your room

1800
01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:37,880
Speaker 2: for a long time and was there your first day

1801
01:23:37,920 --> 01:23:39,720
Speaker 2: on campus at Ohio State when you were the new

1802
01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:43,400
Speaker 2: kid at school. So in Dewan Jones. Talk to me

1803
01:23:43,439 --> 01:23:45,759
Speaker 2: a little bit about those guys. What can we expect from.

1804
01:23:45,640 --> 01:23:48,439
Speaker 7: Those Yeah, I think so off with Dewan just because

1805
01:23:48,439 --> 01:23:51,200
Speaker 7: I'm so familiar with him. I mean, he's just a

1806
01:23:51,280 --> 01:23:55,479
Speaker 7: monster on the field, figuratively and literally a monster on

1807
01:23:55,520 --> 01:23:56,920
Speaker 7: the field. Then I think you see that in his

1808
01:23:57,000 --> 01:23:59,519
Speaker 7: game film and when you see him standing next to

1809
01:23:59,560 --> 01:24:02,840
Speaker 7: the normal people, he's a monster. And I think for

1810
01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:05,680
Speaker 7: him coming in here, being around coach Callahan and Coach

1811
01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:07,400
Speaker 7: Peters is only going to make him a better player.

1812
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:09,519
Speaker 7: And I'm really excited what he's gonna look like in

1813
01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:11,280
Speaker 7: a month from now when we get when we break

1814
01:24:11,320 --> 01:24:13,960
Speaker 7: after the mini camp in June. So for me, that's

1815
01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:15,640
Speaker 7: what you can expect him to be a monster. And

1816
01:24:15,680 --> 01:24:19,439
Speaker 7: then Ronnie. I've played against Ronnie since freshman or high school,

1817
01:24:19,840 --> 01:24:22,160
Speaker 7: played across against each other, but football against each other,

1818
01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:24,880
Speaker 7: so it me and him go way back, and I'm

1819
01:24:24,920 --> 01:24:26,599
Speaker 7: just really excited for him to be here. He's a

1820
01:24:26,640 --> 01:24:29,760
Speaker 7: tremendous athlete. So I mean, I see what he was

1821
01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:31,479
Speaker 7: able to do Ohio State the two years that he

1822
01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:35,040
Speaker 7: played there, he was all around one of the better safeties.

1823
01:24:35,080 --> 01:24:37,000
Speaker 7: I think everyone on the defense always raved on that

1824
01:24:37,040 --> 01:24:38,719
Speaker 7: side of the ball about how great of a teammate

1825
01:24:38,760 --> 01:24:41,000
Speaker 7: he was. They love playing on the field with him.

1826
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:44,760
Speaker 7: He was so motivational and so upbeat and happy all time.

1827
01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:47,360
Speaker 7: He was like your prototypical leader on that defense side

1828
01:24:47,360 --> 01:24:49,320
Speaker 7: of the ball. So that was the one guy that

1829
01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:51,439
Speaker 7: you can always count on. I heard on defense they

1830
01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:53,840
Speaker 7: always bring that spirit up a little bit. And then

1831
01:24:54,080 --> 01:24:57,320
Speaker 7: t Mac is just I mean your generic cover corner

1832
01:24:57,360 --> 01:25:00,320
Speaker 7: and nickel slot guy, and that was a huge addition

1833
01:25:00,439 --> 01:25:02,840
Speaker 7: we got him, and I'm really excited what he's able

1834
01:25:02,880 --> 01:25:03,439
Speaker 7: to do here too.

1835
01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:06,960
Speaker 2: All right at Ohio State, best moment you ever had

1836
01:25:07,000 --> 01:25:08,040
Speaker 2: at Ohio State.

1837
01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:11,599
Speaker 8: Probably win the Rose Bowl in twenty twenty one.

1838
01:25:11,640 --> 01:25:13,400
Speaker 7: I think that was a really cool game of cool

1839
01:25:13,439 --> 01:25:16,320
Speaker 7: environment to play in, and it was like one of

1840
01:25:16,320 --> 01:25:18,679
Speaker 7: the coolest sporting events I've ever been a part of,

1841
01:25:18,760 --> 01:25:21,160
Speaker 7: just to come back and everything it was. It was

1842
01:25:21,200 --> 01:25:23,640
Speaker 7: really dramatic and it was it was a lot of fun.

1843
01:25:24,120 --> 01:25:28,280
Speaker 2: In high school, you wrestled, yep, you played lacrosse, yep.

1844
01:25:28,600 --> 01:25:31,080
Speaker 2: You gave Rugby a chance. I played rugby my whole

1845
01:25:31,080 --> 01:25:33,719
Speaker 2: life growing up. Okay, rugby, Rugby was the all time.

1846
01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:35,360
Speaker 2: Wrestling was the one I think you took up.

1847
01:25:35,479 --> 01:25:37,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, wrestling, I started, yep, and I started. I do

1848
01:25:37,960 --> 01:25:39,760
Speaker 7: that growing up too. But I started wrestling high school

1849
01:25:39,760 --> 01:25:42,080
Speaker 7: as well. Okay, yeah, or I was wrestling high school.

1850
01:25:42,120 --> 01:25:45,240
Speaker 7: If you couldn't play football, Like, what would you have

1851

Speaker 7: gone with? I probably snowboard too, Yeah, snowboard, Yeah, I

1852
01:25:49,720 --> 01:25:51,840
Speaker 7: do it. Yeah, I tried to do it all. Stay

1853
01:25:51,880 --> 01:25:55,240
Speaker 7: busy is what I like to say. Probably Rugby, honestly,

1854
01:25:55,320 --> 01:25:57,280
Speaker 7: I think that at least there I get to carry

1855
01:25:57,320 --> 01:25:59,680
Speaker 7: the ball a little bit so and you still at

1856
01:25:59,680 --> 01:26:01,799
Speaker 7: the hit people and it's fun. It's a lot of running.

1857
01:26:01,840 --> 01:26:04,400
Speaker 7: So but yeah, no, I think probably Rugby was the one.

1858
01:26:04,400 --> 01:26:08,160
Speaker 7: I probably would have went with. Favorite food chicken parmesan.

1859
01:26:08,200 --> 01:26:12,280
Speaker 2: Chicken parmesan. You go angel hair with it on the side, yes, okay,

1860
01:26:13,280 --> 01:26:14,320
Speaker 2: salad or no salad?

1861
01:26:14,600 --> 01:26:14,760
Speaker 5: Uh?

1862
01:26:15,800 --> 01:26:19,559
Speaker 7: I like a meatball instead of salad. Yeah, all right,

1863
01:26:19,680 --> 01:26:23,960
Speaker 7: that's some meatball. So yeah, okay, I'm trying to think

1864
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:26,840
Speaker 7: what else is there? Is there a fast food place

1865
01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:29,960

1867
01:26:32,320 --> 01:26:34,880
Speaker 7: as canes where I'm from. And I remember my first

1868

1872
01:26:42,120 --> 01:26:44,920
Speaker 7: uh yeah, that's probably like right now, like my I

1873
