1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,199
Speaker 1: Start with Bob so seen and go to Evan Lazar.

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 1: Good morning, Steve. Hey, how you doing, Bob? I'm good.

3
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 1: How are you? I'm good? Thank you good. I want

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: to ask you about a couple of guys who've been

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: really productive players for this team in their roles the

6
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 1: last couple of years. And I know Adam has been

7
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: on the injury report throughout the season. Adam Butler and

8
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 1: John Simon. What have you seen from those two guys

9
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: that's far this season? Uh? Yeah, Um, you know, all

10
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: these guys are are trying, Um, you know hasn't been

11
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: to the to the level that we wanted to be at.

12
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: We all need to do a better job. But yeah,

13
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: those guys have been great. They've always excelled in their

14
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: roles and uh and given us and the team what

15
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 1: we need from them. And going back to point made

16
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: last week about team defense with a guy, when you

17
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: see the effort out there, you've seen trying to execute

18
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: what your your game plan calls for, what the technique

19
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: calls for. How much does that wait carry? Uh, you know,

20
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: even if you know they're trying to reach the standards

21
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,119
Speaker 1: they've had in the past. Not speaking specifically, those two guys,

22
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: but just in general when it comes to stabs and

23
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: playing time and their roles in the defense. Uh. Yeah,

24
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: you know, the techniques can change a little bit based

25
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: on based on what the call is. Um. You know,

26
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: versatility is an important part of this defense, and we

27
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: ask a lot of the players in terms of playing

28
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: a lot of different techniques and and doing different things

29
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: relative to to where they fit into the scheme. So

30
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: guys have been doing a good job adjusting to that stuff.

31
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: We uh, we just got to do a better job

32
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: as coaches getting them into into the right spots. Thanks Steve,

33
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: Thank you. Next up Evan Lazar and then Doug Kine. Hey, Steve,

34
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about Chase and just what

35
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: you see from him that could help him get on

36
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: the field a little bit more than what we've seen

37
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. Yeah, Chase is doing a

38
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: good job. He continues to improve. He's a young player. Um,

39
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: you know that that has a lot of a lot

40
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: of good skills. Um. Yep. We just got to do

41
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: do the right thing for the for the team and

42
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: for the game plan which applies to all the players

43
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: on the roster and getting them in the spots we

44
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: want to succeed. So there's nothing that he's doing wrong

45
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: in your eyes or anything that could be you know,

46
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: and along those lines that or why he's not getting

47
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: out there as much as he was in the beginning

48
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: part of the season. No, definitely not Chase. Um. Chase

49
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: is willing to do to do anything we ask of him.

50
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: He's he's all about the team. Very unselfish guy. He's

51
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: he hasn't done anything wrong. And just one more, how

52
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: do you guys get back to setting the edge like

53
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: we're used to seeing around here? Coach it better kind

54
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: than Andrew Callahan, Steve, what'd you see out of Josh

55
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: Ucha in his NFL debut? It seemed like he might

56
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: have played a few more snaps than the game play

57
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: might have initially called for. Um, Yeah, you know, I'm

58
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: excited to get Josh out onto the field. I know

59
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: he was excited to um to get out there, and

60
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: uh yeah, it's uh, it's the first step. And Stone

61
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: got a long way to go with everybody, but UM,

62
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: very excited to uh to get him out there, get

63
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: him healthy, and get him on the field. You could

64
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: definitely help help our defense. M Andrew Callahan followed by

65
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: Mike Reece. Good morning, Steve. I want to look back

66
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: to Sunday. You know, obviously you never go into a

67
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: game expecting to give up a lot of yards on

68
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: the ground. But when you you game plan to use

69
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: a lot of diamond quarter personnel and understanding, you know,

70
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: coach tables, a game playing coach and adjust during the game.

71
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: Do you have a higher threshold perhaps for understanding, Hey,

72
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: this is likely we're going to give a more yard.

73
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: So that's a trade off we're willing to make on

74
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: the ground. No, definitely not. We're not willing to trade

75
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: off everything. Um. You know, we we try and cover

76
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: all our bases and have have an answer for everything. Um. Yeah,

77
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: could have could have done a better job of that

78
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: as a coaching staff, but we didn't. So it was

79
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: an unfortunate, unfortunate loss. What um, you know, led you

80
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: to believe in going in from your preparation and film

81
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: study that you know, playing so much diamond and quarter understanding,

82
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: you played a lot of diamonds it is, but would

83
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: be best against against the Bills on Sunday. Yeah, that's

84
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: just what we felt best with, the most comfortable with

85
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: going into the game. So that's what we try to do.

86
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: It looks like final question. We're going to Mike Reasonless.

87
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: Anybody else raises their hand. Okay, Mike, Hey, Steve, how

88
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: are you doing good? How are you Mike good? Congratulations

89
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: on some good things happening for you away from football. Um,

90
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: that's good stuff. And just um wanted to ask you

91
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: a couple quick questions. Tayshawn Bauer. We've seen more of

92
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: him the last couple of weeks. Um, what what has

93
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: sort of what has he shown you? And the opportunity

94
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: that he's been given to play in a couple of

95
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 1: these last two games. Yeah, you know, to Shaun works

96
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: really hard. I'm really happy for him. Uh did a

97
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: good job taking advantage of the opportunity he was given,

98
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: and uh continues to improve and get better. And um,

99
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: you know, he's a good player for us and um yeah,

100
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: excited to get him out onto the field these past

101
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: few weeks. He's been he's been good for us and Steve.

102
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: This is a little bit different, but I noticed that

103
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: the patch you're wearing is for Jim Brown. Yeah, that's

104
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: been You've been wearing it all You've been wearing it

105
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: all year. I apologize if you've been asked about it.

106
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: I haven't been able to get in on some of

107
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: your past interviews, but I was curious what led you to,

108
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: uh to choose him to wear as the patch on

109
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: game day. Yeah, very very proud to wear his patch

110
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: and represent him. Um. You know I got to meet

111
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: Jim back when UM my dad coach for the Browns.

112
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: He was around the facility a lot, So our relationship

113
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: goes way back. UM. You know, he he he had

114
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 1: some some tough times struggled back when he was at Syracuse.

115
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: Um when they played I think it was in the

116
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: Cotton Bowl. Um. I think it was like fifty six

117
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: or something like that. You know, he wasn't allowed to

118
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: to stay in the team hotel because the restrictions UM

119
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: during that time. So, UM, he's been through a lot.

120
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,119
Speaker 1: He does a lot, a lot of community service work

121
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: and a lot of great things um out in his

122
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: community out there in California. So UM, definitely someone I

123
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: look up to an admire. UM the road that he's

124
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: been through. Um. Like I said, I know him personally,

125
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: and uh so there's definitely a connection there. Best lacrosse

126
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: player to ever play, So have another connection there and

127
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: in my opinion the best running back to ever play. Oh. Um,

128
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: a lot of things I admire about him and definitely

129
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: somebody who I look up to and have a lot

130
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: of respect for. Steve Coach Belichick's wearing Fritz Pollard's patch,

131
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: and he talked about that, you know in the past.

132
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: Is there any like, can you take me back to

133
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: the decision that you were making, Like, I mean, it

134
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: sounds like it was an easy one for you to

135
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: wear that patch, but just sort of how you went

136
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: through that process and maybe what led you to ultimately

137
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: say like this is a no brainer. This is where

138
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: I'm going. Um. Yeah, I mean all the patches that

139
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: the players and coaches where are very meaningful. Um, I

140
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: just have a personal connection with um with Jim Brown,

141
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: and so um I felt that that was that was

142
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: a good decision for me. Yeah, for me, it was. Um,

143
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: it was an easy decision once I sat down and

144
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: thought about it for a while. But um, all those

145
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: patches are are very meaningful, and I would be proud

146
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: to wear any one of them. But UM, I just

147
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: cho chose Jim Brown because because of the reasons that

148
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: I did I mentioned before. So I apologize if I

149
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: messed up any of the facts or the years. But yeah,

150
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: I didn't expect that when he called me a little

151
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: off guard. But yeah, very proud, very proud to Jim

152
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: Jim Brown's patch. Hey, we messed up a lot of

153
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: things on this end too, so if it was if

154
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: the years were off, we'll clean them up. But we're

155
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,960
