8
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: Texas, Ohio State will kick off the big big game

9
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: to start the college football season. Phil Steele and his

10
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: magazine had been more hirt than anybody twenty plus years

11
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: at predicting this stuff. Listen, we know Texas pill is

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: going to be good. We know Clem's in Ohio State.

13
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: I have Penn State, Texas and the Natty. The question though,

14
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 1: is arch Manning does not have a lot of play

15
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,279
Speaker 1: and they're replacing most of their old line. Now I

16
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: would argue it's Texas Sharks, a great recruiter. They'll be

17
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: fine in the old line. But do you look at

18
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: Texas this is what you study. Do you look at them?

19
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: Do you see a whole in that football operation?

20
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 3: Yeah?

21
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 4: I think the key for Texas is going to be

22
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 4: the development of the offensive line. Losing four starters like

23
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 4: they do this year. Also, look at that schedule. I

24
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 4: mean playing Ohio State on the road, Florida on the road,

25
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 4: Georgia on the road, and Oklahoma in Texas. Those are

26
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 4: four pretty tough road games. They may be like Ohio

27
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 4: State last year where they lose a game or two

28
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 4: during the season, but once they get to the playoffs,

29
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 4: they are going to be tough. I love their defense,

30
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 4: so Colin the best defense in the country led by

31
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 4: Anthony Hill, a linebacker.

32
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: So the team I think can win it third straight

33
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: Big Ten team is Penn State. So I watched Drew

34
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: Aller Phill a couple of years ago. I thought he

35
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: was inaccurate. I thought he was not refined, and I

36
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: watched him last year. I'm like, boy, he's made a

37
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: big leap. Penn State's O line is not a problem.

38
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: You like Penn State when I if you've not seen

39
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: Penn State play, we know aler, we know James Franklin

40
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,919
Speaker 1: can recruit. What will they lean on the Nitney Lions

41
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: this year to win close games because their schedule tells

42
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: you they should be in a few of those.

43
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, They're going to lean on the offensive line, which

44
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 4: I rate number one in the country, and the running

45
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 4: back corps, which I rate number one in the country.

46
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 4: They've also upgraded a wide receiver, bringing in three big transfers. Defensively,

47
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 4: they are loaded talent wise, so they've got an outstanding defense.

48
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 4: Give me a top notch offensive line, a top notch defense,

49
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 4: and then also the quarterback, and I'll take that team

50
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 4: many day of the week.

51
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: So Ohio State, I have my reservations because the eluse

52
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: sixteen starters. You have the two best players to meet,

53
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: Caleb Downs and Jeremiah smith But I don't know what

54
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: Julian saying is, how do you make a prediction? We

55
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: know they're a recruiting factory, but how tough is it

56
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 1: to make a decision when you we really have nothing

57
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: to work with at the most important position in the sport,

58
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: which is obviously quarterback.

59
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, and a lot of times you have to look

60
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 4: at the surrounding cast, and I think when you look

61
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 4: at Ohio State, they've got that surrounding cass Jerremi Smithkin

62
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 4: will make a lot of people look good at wide receiver.

63
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 4: They've got talent, their running back, offense line. Actually, there's

64
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 4: no questioning the talent of Ohio State. The question is experienced.

65
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 4: So I believe it or not. You look at their schedule, Colin,

66
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 4: they could be favored in all twelve games this year.

67
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 4: They're already favored over Texas in the opener. But I

68
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 4: think that inexperience may bite them a little bit in

69
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 4: a game or two. And let's keep in mind last

70
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 4: year's NFL laden team with all those seniors, watched two

71
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 4: games in the regular season. They didn't even win the

72
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 4: Big Ten. They didn't even beat Michigan for a fourth

73
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 4: straight year. So I think Ohio State might slip up

74
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 4: a game or two this year. But there's no doubting

75
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 4: the talent they have compiled.

76
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: So we all talk about Arch Manning. But last night

77
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: I had an extra hour and I just went deep

78
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: diving on Cade Klubnik and I went back to his

79
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: Austin High school, Westlake in Austin. The kid is a

80
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: real athlete. You know, Arch is going to get the love.

81
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: Nus Meyer Drew Aller and I looked at this kid,

82
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: and I'm like, are we are? Because the ACC doesn't

83
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: get the love. Clemson doesn't use the transfer portal much.

84
00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: I think they have three guys they went this year,

85
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: which the surplus for them is it possible that cade

86
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: Club Nick, he is the best quarterback in the sport

87
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: this year.

88
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I picked him to win the Heisman Colin, and

89
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 4: I'll tell you why. You go back two years ago

90
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 4: he had nineteen touchdowns and just nine interceptions, and people

91
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 4: were wondering about him. But coming into that season in

92
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 4: twenty three, he lost his top three receivers due to injury. Well,

93
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 4: last year he got those injury receivers back. They had

94
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 4: it in a couple of top notch frosh and all

95
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 4: of a sudden, thirty six touchdowns, just six interceptions. He's

96
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 4: operating behind my number two rated offensive line. He's got

97
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 4: my number two set of receivers to throw to. And

98
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 4: when I look at Clemson schedule, I've got him winning

99
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 4: all twelve games. So I think Club Nick leads the

100
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 4: nation in passing, leads a twelve and ohero team, and

101
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 4: I believe he's going to take home to Heisman this year.

102
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. I ran a four six', five so the kid

103
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: can really move WITH nfl teams love as. Well so

104
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: on my friends out west are, like what do you

105
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: think OF? Usc AND i keep saying outside Of Molik

106
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: lemonar receiver And Kamari ramsey with. Safety i'm, LIKE i

107
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: don't think that good enough to win ten or eleven.

108
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: Games you look at THE usc schedule, now they have

109
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: a very good twenty twenty six recruiting, class but that's

110
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: not on campus. YET i just don't think they have

111
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: enough difference makers outside a receiver and a great. Safety

112
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: what say you on their overall? Talent the overall TALENT

113
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: i questioned a little. BIT i like THIS usc team

114
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: and you go back to last. Year you look at their.

115
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 4: Losses The michigan game where they gave up that big

116
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 4: run Of mullins and then a fourth and goal. Conversion

117
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 4: The maryland, game they're kicking a field goal that go

118
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 4: up by nine and it gets blocked return of midfield

119
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 4: to give up a late.

120
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,239
Speaker 3: Touchdown they had five close.

121
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 4: Losses Could evelands have been an eleven TO oo team

122
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 4: at one point last? Season Danton LYNN i love his defense.

123
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 4: COORDINATOR i think he's going to get the most out

124
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 4: of this. Defense might be one Of rilly's. Best as

125
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 4: long as they get the play out of their quarterback

126
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,799
Speaker 4: this year In, mayava THEN i think THAT usc could

127
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 4: make some. NOISE i thought they were a much better

128
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 4: team than the record last, year SO.

129
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: I wondered How Notre dame would do in THE. Nil

130
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: there's a and. Standard they don't use it, much But

131
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: Notre dame has an advantage that the guys they bring

132
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: into their program generally don't. Leave if you decide On Notre,

133
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: dame it's more than. Football there's probably an academic reality

134
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 1: that it's hard to get in and if you choose

135
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: at your STAND i Think Marcus freeman has done a

136
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: really good. Job are they good enough a? QUARTERBACK i,

137
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: mean what do you see going?

138
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 2: Forward?

139
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 4: YEAH i think when you look At Notre, dame look

140
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 4: at that title game last. Year they were down their

141
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 4: top defensive, lineman their top offensive. Lineman running Back love

142
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 4: was not one hundred percent or. Else who, knows maybe

143
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 4: they would have Given Ohio state an even better game

144
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 4: than they gave. Him they've gotten a new quarterback this

145
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 4: year IN. Cj, carr but he's surrounded by. TALENT i

146
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 4: love the Lice Love Price combo at running. Back it's

147
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 4: my number two running back core in the, country number

148
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 4: three offensive. LINE i like the additions they got a

149
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 4: receiver and, defensively each unit's rated in my top five

150
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 4: And they're solid on special. Teams i've got The irish

151
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 4: favorite in all twelve games this. Year, wow tough opener

152
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 4: At miami Of, Florida. Chrysti boll's got a really Good miami,

153
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 4: Team BUT i Think Notre dame's a legitimate national title.

154
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 3: Contender And Marcus freeman student at tremendous.

155
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: Job he just got great, energy totally. Relatable So belichick's

156
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: bringing on forty new. Transfers what is your? Takeaway because

157
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: it's a science for. You i've never met anybody quite like.

158
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: You what do you? Make i'm kind of one of

159
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: THOSE i like players out of high. SCHOOL i know the.

160
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: ODOMETER i feel If georgia lets the guy, go there's

161
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: a reason for. It what is your take five years into?

162
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: Nil do you like? It are you cynical on? It

163
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: what do you? Make Because belichick's going to rely on?

164
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 5: It you.

165
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 4: KNOW i did a blog in phil steel dot com

166
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 4: about homegrown Players colin and IT'S i think teams like A,

167
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 4: clemson like A Notre, dame Even Ohio state last. Year

168
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 4: while they had some, transfers the majority of the team

169
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 4: is homegrown freshmen that turned into. Seniors AND i think

170
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 4: those teams are going to have the most. Success Even

171
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 4: army And navy last year had great, success more than

172
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 4: anybody would have. Thought think it's because they're. Homegrown So

173
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 4: i'm concerned about the amount of. Transfers But Bill belichick

174
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 4: and then they Think North carolina got a gift in the.

175
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 4: Schedule there are very few games where you would Put

176
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 4: North carolina a definite. Underdog AND i think if the

177
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 4: players come in and buy, in which they should Under Bill,

178
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 4: BELICHICK i Think North carolina can have a sneaky good

179
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 4: year this. Year But i'm concerned about any team that

180
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 4: has forty transfers like they.

181
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: Have, okay give me one. Team i'm gonna Pick. Illinois

182
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: give me one team under the. Radar IF i Said,

183
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,840

Speaker 1: Herbert.

274
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 6: LISTEN a lot of voters Believe herbert would eventually Reach tier,

275
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 6: one but had a few flaws keep him from fully

276
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 6: reaching his.

277
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 2: Potential, obviously one of them is not winning a playoff game.

278
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 6: Yet one offensive coach, Said herbert lets little things distract.

279
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 2: Him that's a little. STRANGE i don't know how you know.

280
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 6: That, meanwhile defensive coordinator, added he's just a little bit.

281
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 6: Robotic you can tell by the way he processes. Everything

282
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 6: it's a click slower than some of the. ELITES i

283
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 6: would agree that he does look robotic at.

284
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 2: Times that was the.

285
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: Criticism that was his criticism out of, college that he

286
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: was a mechanical and a bit, robotic AND i think

287
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: THAT'S i would, say, YES i think he has a

288
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: beautiful throwing, motion but he IS i, mean first of,

289
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: all he's really, accurate really strong and moves really well

290
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: and The chargers always get quarterback. Right BUT i think

291
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: the criticisms of him are. Fair when you say robotic

292
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: doesn't mean he doesn't move, well but there Is that

293
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: was a nog in fact That Tom telesco was The CHARGERS.

294
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: Gm that was his worry and then he went and

295
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: watched him Against wisconsin and, said, man he's really. Good

296
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: he's not overly, robotic but at, times you, know he's

297
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: a bit. MECHANICAL i think his delivery is the prettiest

298
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: in the, league you know how Like Jerry west was a.

299
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: Logo when he throws the, ball you could make him

300
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: THE nfl logo if there was a. Player he has

301
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: the most, perfect, functional foundational throwing. Motion BUT i think

302
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: his one of his core straints is as, well, humility

303
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: like everybody loves. Him people his teammates want to win for.

304
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 6: Him, YEAH i don't see how robotic this guy acting

305
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 6: like it's a. Knock So herbert had three interceptions last

306
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 6: year league low interception percentage rate in the league among.

307
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 2: Quarterbacks like he's processing.

308
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 6: Great the problem, is of, course he just doesn't have

309
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 6: enough around, him which gets into an interesting. Discussion, Hey

310
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 6: Jalen hurts has too. Much we can't give him enough.

311
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 6: Credit Justin herbert doesn't have. Enough let's give him a

312
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 6: lot of. CREDIT i don't, KNOW i think certainly in

313
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 6: that six seven eight.

314
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 2: Range.

315
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: Soli let's go.

316
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 2: To The Detroit, Lions.

317
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 6: Colin obviously they lost both coordinators this. Offseason you AND

318
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 6: i think The lions take a step, back and that

319
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 6: was kind of on display in their first preseason.

320
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 2: Game the media Believes.

321
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 6: Detroit will take a step back, too and that has

322
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 6: only Motivated Dan, campbell who SAID i would be lying

323
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 6: IF i said that doesn't get me going a little.

324
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 2: Bit that's the next.

325
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: Challenge, YEAH i mean the division's, good and let's just

326
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: SAY jj McCarthy delivers and is a GOOD b. QUARTERBACK

327
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: b TO b plus, Quarterback well you're not winning them

328
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: in a. Game that goes back to my theory on

329
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: when the division's, good it's just harder to win. Games

330
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: and that's Why Kansas city's gonna win eleven games and not.

331
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: Fourteen it's just a division suddenly is just too. Good

332
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: and so IF jj McCarthy can play and The packers

333
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: AND jj McCarthy in chicago's going to be. Interesting they

334
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: have too much time out and good of a coach

335
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: not to be. Interesting SO i think stepping back is

336
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: it's not a, criticism it's a reality of what they

337
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: are and what the division.

338
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 6: IS i also love how, everybody's, oh we don't pay

339
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 6: attention to the. Media we only care about what's in

340
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 6: this locker. Room, meanwhile you've Got Scheduor sanders going up

341
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 6: To Tony, Grosi you've Got Dan. Campbell, YEAH i see

342
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,400

00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: Franchises are just not. Interesting but there are. Two The

420
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: Chicago cubs for years and years and The Cleveland browns

421
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: that even when they're losing and, dysfunctional they're kind of.

422
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: Fascinating AND i was joking with our next, guest IS

423
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: i Think i've outside of maybe The patriots With brady

424
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: and The chiefs With, MAHOMES i talk More Cleveland browns

425
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: than almost any OTHER nfl, franchise maybe maybe The bills

426
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: now over the last seven eight years With Josh. Allen

427
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: But Tony grossy's been covering this team in THE nfl

428
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: since the early. Eighties host of The Daily grossy and

429
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: Former Plaine, dealer kind of a Legendary midwest. Newspaper So,

430
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: tony first of, all you have endured for. Sure that

431
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: is let's start With Jimmy. Haslam So i've been very

432
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: critical Of haslam WHERE i, think AND i was of Jim.

433
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: ERSAY i think there's at any one time there's six great,

434
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: quarterbacks six great left, tackles and six great. Owners there's

435
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: a lot more impulsive dysfunctional owners than fans. Realize is.

436
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: That you Know Robert, kraft But Jerry jones has moved

437
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: into sort of impulsive odd. Category i'm not a HUGE

438
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: haslm fan based on some Things i've heard and. Seen

439
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: how is he, viewed not by, you but By cleveland

440
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: fans as he viewed as part of the.

441
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 9: Problem, well the record speaks for. Itself he's in his

442
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 9: thirteenth season of owning The browns that has some, family

443
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 9: and the record has been, awful and he had a

444
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 9: lot of growing pains. EARLY i actually think he's maturing

445
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 9: as an. Owner you, know The Kevin Stefanski Andrew berry,

446
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,959
Speaker 9: partnership the coach gm are now in their sixth. Season

447
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 9: they've outlasted any other combination under the half of, ownership

448
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 9: AND i think he's learned to be patient and trust

449
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 9: his football people a lot more than. Previously but he

450
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 9: still has that reputation until they WIN i, mean they've

451
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,479
Speaker 9: never won a division title since they've been back as

452
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 9: an expansion, team so the, record you, know precludes. Him

453
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 9: it's what he's known. For BUT i think he's. Mature, okay,

454
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 9: listen we all.

455
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 1: Grow SO i, SAID i Thought Shador sanders was, Underdrafted

456
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 1: Jackson dart a little. Overdrafted And i've been. THERE i

457
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: have been very positive with. HIM i thought he played Great.

458
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: FRIDAY i think he's got maturity. ISSUES i hated the

459
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: legendary draft room. Nonsense the speeding tickets rolled me. NUTS

460
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: i did not love him coming up to. You so

461
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: let's go to that. Moment you're. Outspoken you don't last

462
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: as long as you. Do you've got to be credible

463
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: in the. Market so what did you say? That it

464
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: had him a whole riled.

465
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 5: Up you, KNOW i don't know if there's anything.

466
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 9: Specific it's just that since he, Arrived i've treated him

467
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 9: as just one of the ninety. Players he's got these,

468
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 9: lesion these incredible legion of fans who think The Cleveland

469
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 9: brown season is all About Shador sanders this, year AND i.

470
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 9: Haven't i've stayed away from that. Mentality although although we

471
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 9: Talked shador constantly on our. AIR i have to be

472
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 9: fair to you, know what else is going on with the,

473
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 9: team and there have been a few THINGS i questioned

474
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,360
Speaker 9: the first time at rookie mini, camp Seeing Dylan gabriel

475
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 9: And Shador sanders on the field together that first, DAY

476
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 9: i came away and, SAID i understand why The browns

477
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 9: Took Dylan gabriel ahead Of Shooter. SANDERS i Thought gabriel

478
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 9: did some things That sanders at that time didn't. Do

479
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 9: i'm not sure there's one smoking gun thing THAT i

480
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 9: said to get him riled.

481
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 5: Up and that was the first.

482
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 9: Time you, know we've been in this camp for three

483
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 9: going on four, weeks and after that game was the

484
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,199
Speaker 9: first time he said anything to.

485
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 1: Me fourth on the depth chart after that, performance you,

486
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 1: KNOW i don't. Know it's like the depth chart should

487
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: be based on. Performance everybody else is hurt staying healthy

488
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: as a. Skill were you surprised he was still?

489
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 9: Fourth the REASON i say, No, colin is BECAUSE i

490
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 9: think The browns are following their script of their training,

491
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 9: camp and one performance wasn't going to affect the next.

492
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 9: Day that performance will probably well obviously will affect his

493
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 9: whole body of work when they evaluate everything but the thing,

494
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 9: Is Dylan gabriel hasn't had his opportunity. Yet they Evaluated,

495
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 9: gabriel you know, what the forty spots fifty spots higher

496
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 9: in the, draft and they want to be fair to

497
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 9: their own evaluation of, them and they want to See

498
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 9: gabriel on the field before they make any adjustment to

499
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 9: the depth. CHART i think that's coming after this. Week

500
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 9: they're here In philadelphia practicing against The. Eagles gabriel is

501
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 9: scheduled to start that game in all, likelihood and the

502
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 9: coach said today, finally for the first, time the plan

503
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 9: was to have each of the rookies start one game in.

504
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 9: Preseason SO i think that's why they haven't adjusted is

505
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 9: either snapcounts in practice or the.

506
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 1: Rotation do you think they'll keep four. Quarterbacks i've speculated

507
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: they'll Move Kenny pickett at the end of camp or

508
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: trade deadline or. Someone what do you make about keeping four.

509
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 9: QUARTERBACKS i think it's very, possible you, know with sixteen

510
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 9: on the practice, squad that they can keep four quarterbacks

511
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,959
Speaker 9: on the fifty three and accommodate the positions that they

512
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 9: sacrifice then on the practice. SQUAD i think they're very

513
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 9: disappointed and frustrated That pickett has not gotten on tape

514
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 9: during game action to show everybody what they might see

515
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 9: in him that they think highly of. Them but his

516
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 9: hamstring problems have set back any idea of trading him

517
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 9: or a market for. Him BUT i can see them

518
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 9: going into the season with all four and just seeing

519
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 9: what happens around the rest of the. League you, Know

520
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 9: pickett does have some redeeming qualities for the right. TEAM i,

521
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 9: mean he's in his fourth, year he's been with two other,

522
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 9: Teams he's been a first round. Pick he just hasn't

523
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 9: been able to show this camp what The browns saw in.

524
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 1: Him So i've said through the, YEARS i don't like

525
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: my quarterbacks to be too light and un. Serious Johnny

526
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: manziel is too, Goofy baker was too. Cocky BUT i like,

527
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,919
Speaker 1: confidence AND i get a lot of pushback on, that

528
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: BUT i always Say i've been pretty good at seeing.

529
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: It AND i didn't Like Will levis and The Gun.

530
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: SHOW i thought it was arrogant, again, confidence arrogance and.

531
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: Silly there are Times i've said With shadu or he's

532
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: a little unseerious for, ME a little playful is? THAT

533
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: i mean That that's my take is that history shows

534
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: you that, serious, driven, focused almost obsessed guys do well

535
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: in this. League what do you make of that comment

536
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 1: he's a bit.

537
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 9: UNSEERIOUS i think he's got a playful. Personality you, know

538
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 9: he's Really i've constantly said this SINCE i met him

539
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 9: at The. Combine you cannot leave a conversation With shador without.

540
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 9: SMILING i, mean he is a very positive and playful.

541
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 9: GUY i don't think that gets into the way of his.

542
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 9: JOB i think that endears him To teammates's a it's

543
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 9: a different kind of charisma about. HIM i find him

544
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 9: really charming as a as a young young. Person, actually,

545
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 9: Okay i've not had confrontations with. Them you, know that

546
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 9: was an interaction and that was the only time he

547
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 9: said anything to me that he was even hearing things

548
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 9: or reading.

549
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 1: Things, yeah it really is. Interesting the obviously they have

550
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: two first round. Picks they want to get a. Quarterback,

551
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 1: boy it's a good quarterback class cade Club nick At

552
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: clemson And Drew aller and Nuss meyer and obviously Arch,

553
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: manning AND i mean They cleveland's looking for a quarterback

554
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: and it's the year to be looking for a. Quarterback,

555
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: Finally Tony groci for the radio, audience a very very

556
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: very popular and Renowned cleveland host and former newspaper. Guy

557
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: it looks like to, me in this division they're like

558
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: a four win. Team it's it's not an easy. Schedule

559
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: it's not an easy. Division But i've said, before like

560
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: When Peyton manning, left there are years in a franchise

561
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: when four wins is. Okay and this is the year For.

562
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: Cleveland let's say they go four and. THIRTEEN i worry

563
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: About haslam being. Impulsive Is stefanski held in high enough

564
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: regard that if they're really bad and get the number two,

565
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: pick That stefanski maintains his. Job it seems obvious he.

566
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: Would but the history Of cleveland And haslam is they

567
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: make moves that. Surprises so let's say are three and.

568
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: Fourteen Does stefanski retain?

569
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 9: It, yeah this is WHERE i Think haslam's maturity comes.

570
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,719
Speaker 9: IN i think that decision has already been. MADE i

571
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 9: think Both stefanski And Andrew berry are part of the

572
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 9: solution of bringing The browns out of The Deshaun watson.

573
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 9: Era you, know they still have a few years of

574
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 9: salary cap. Ramifications no matter what happens With watson from

575
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 9: here on.

576
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 5: Out so they need.

577
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 9: To go to the young rookie quarterback contract way to

578
00:29:58,640 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 9: get out of this.

579
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 5: Thing AND i THINK haslm.

580
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 9: Is relying on this partnership to see it. Through in,

581
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 9: effact he's not holding them accountable for the mistake that

582
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 9: The Deshaun wahsington trade has. Been AND i don't have

583
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 9: any doubt that the scenario you're describing will not be

584
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 9: the end of this. Partnership it's really they're the guys

585
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 9: that are going to lead them into the next quarterback,

586
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 9: era whether that's The Dylan gabriel Or Shoulder sanders, era

587
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 9: or The Leonora sellers or that next crop. ERA i

588
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 9: THINK haslm is determined that this is the this is the,

589
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 9: plan and he said before the, draft if we don't

590
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,239
Speaker 9: find the guy this, year we'll keep looking for.

591
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 5: Him and you, know people want.

592
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 9: To do to start and they got to find out about.

593
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 5: It you, know it's a long.

594
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 9: Season The browns have played nine starting quarterbacks the last two.

595
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 9: Years both of these guys are going to get, there you,

596
00:30:56,080 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 9: know their dress. Rehearsals so we'll see how it plays.

597
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 9: Out BUT i agree with, YOU i don't think you

598
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 9: can let that quarterback class next year pass you, by

599
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 9: no matter what happens this.

600
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 5: Year to be honest with.

601
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: You, no it is a great. One so we. Have
