1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: Countdown to kickoff continues. The Jaguars entertaining the Cleveland Browns

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: in Week two, and the new voice of the Browns

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: is a face and voice that you know very well

4
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: as you're a football fan. Andrews Sciliano with us. Great

5
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: to see you. I've never met you, which is odd.

6
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 1: We've been around the league. You've been around the league forever.

7
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: I've been here for We've never really crossed paths. But

8
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: it's great to be with you.

9
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 2: Well, Jp, it's great to be with you. Great to connect.

10
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 2: I was listening to the pod yesterday. You got to

11
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: tell Prisco to calm down, man, I mean, like he

12
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 2: gets so fired up. I thought Tony was going to

13
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 2: go after him on some of their some of their

14
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 2: conversations there. But it's good to connect like this and

15
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 2: I will certainly see you on the field. Hopefully the

16
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: rain stays away. Trevor bank Field coming up on Sunday.

17
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. I usually just play referee on Monday. Let Tony

18
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: and Pete do their thing and stay the heck out

19
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: of the way and throw it a commercial. That's the

20
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: safest place for me.

21
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 3: I get it. I thought you did a great job referering.

22
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 3: You stayed out of the way they were going at it.

23
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 2: And I don't know, I've never heard Pete happy with

24
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: play calling or tackling in my entire life.

25
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 3: So if he had been on Monday like, it would

26
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 3: have been news.

27
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, you should listen every Monday, because that's for

28
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: the last ten years how it's been with Pete. All right, Andrew,

29
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: let's start with the Browns defense. They gave up some

30
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: points last week, but they've got every level covered. I mean,

31
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: they've got talent upfront, obviously with Garrett the linebacker's fantastic,

32
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: They've got corner play. What is it about this Browns

33
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: defense that they'll be able to bounce back right most

34
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: of this season? That seems like the strength of this team.

35
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they will. I think that's the one

36
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 3: thing they could rely on.

37
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,839
Speaker 2: I think they would need considering the offensive struggles Week one,

38
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 2: and who knows how quickly they can get back on

39
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: track there. They're going to need the defense to collectively

40
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: stand on their head. I guess, for lack of a

41
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 2: better description, I think in September to get some wins

42
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 2: in especially coming up against the Jaguars as well. They

43
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 2: had the sack early on the first possession from Dalvin

44
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: Tomlinson where he just ran through Dak Prescott's chest. But

45
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: then you know, a couple of minutes later on the

46
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: next possession, they got the busted coverage there and Brandon

47
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: Cooks give Dak credit, he beat the blitz. He loft

48
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 2: at it to the end zone and they got the

49
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 2: touchdown there. Denzel Ward lamentev this week that he probably

50
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 2: could have had two or three picks. He's going to

51
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: work on the jugs machine, joked that he might play

52
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: catch with reporters on the field before the game because

53
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: they need those turnovers, they need those field flipping plays,

54
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 2: and they need to give the offense some short fields.

55
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: They did give the offense a short field on the

56
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 2: initial drive thanks to special teams of Jalen Darden punt

57
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 2: return that set them up for the long Justin Hopkins

58
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: field goal, but they need more of those. They actually

59
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: did force some three and outs, not only in the

60
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 2: first but in the third quarter, and there seemed to

61
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: be at least a little bit of a momentum shift

62
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: possibility in the third after some of those three and outs,

63
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,399
Speaker 2: but the offense couldn't do its part.

64
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: When you have Miles Garrett, you always have a chance. Yeah,

65
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: where from guys, I mean, it seems like he's at

66
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: some point of this continues. He might already be in

67
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: Canton at some point, but he's solidifying his case. And

68
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: if you're starting a defense, I know you're a little

69
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: biased now, but would you rather have Parsons or whether

70
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: you would you rather have Garrett or at that point

71
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: they're pretty close together at the same point, he's right

72
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: there at the top of his game.

73
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a great question for which there is no

74
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 2: wrong answer. I think, Miles, You're right, is destined to

75
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: make the short drive down to Canton. Actually, I don't

76
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: know if this has changed, but a couple of years ago,

77
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: Miles told me that he won't go to Canton until

78
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: he's in. And that wasn't an arrogant thing. It was

79
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: more like the much like in hockey, I don't want

80
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 2: to touch the Stanley Cup until I win the Stanley

81
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 2: Cup kind of thing. Because Stefanski had in the preseason,

82
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: i think before the Hall of Fame game, had organized

83
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 2: kind of a field trip tour of the building and

84
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 2: he said, nope, I don't want to go, and Stefanski

85
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 2: honored his request. Now Micah is younger, right, So Micah

86
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 2: is in year three, so I think just from a

87
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 2: contractual standpoint, he's still on a rookie deal, you would

88
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 2: probably take Micah. But there is no wrong answer because

89
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: Miles Garrett is inevitable.

90
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: Andrew Ceciliana with us the voice of the Cleveland Browns

91
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. I mean, there's a lot going on around

92
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: to Shawn's It's been a lot going around to Shawn

93
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: since he showed up in Cleveland. But he's on the

94
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: field now. It didn't look great last week for him, obviously.

95
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: Is the old DeShawn still in there? And how as

96
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: a player do you find your way back to what

97
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: got you to this point?

98
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 2: It's a great question and JP I actually had a

99
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 2: nearly identical question for Kevin Stefanski's Sunday morning on our

100
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 2: pregame show in Cleveland. I went back to Week ten

101
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 2: last year, which was the last healthy performance, although he

102
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 2: really wasn't healthy. We find out he had a broken

103
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 2: bone behind a scapula and he had a high ankle

104
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: sprain in that game. But Week ten last year, he

105
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 2: was fourteen or fourteen in the second half on the

106
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 2: road at Baltimore, and they beat at that point what

107
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 2: was a juggernaut of a Ravens team on the road.

108
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: He played a perfect half, rallied him back the old

109
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 2: Deshaun scrambles and he was great. I said that De'shaun

110
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: that you saw week ten. Have you seen that DeShawn

111
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: this summer?

112
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 3: And he was adamant.

113
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, we did not see that Deshaun week one

114
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 2: against the Cowboys. Now, I'm not going to sugarcoat it.

115
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 2: If you go back and watch the first two possessions

116
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 2: against the Cowboys, quick drops getting the ball out, He

117
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,559
Speaker 2: had a drop or two. He had a ball off

118
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 2: of Amari Cooper's chest in which Kayln Carson, the rookie

119
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 2: fifth round pick at awake, blatantly pass interfered blatantly. It

120
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: should have been called for interference, and the refs gave

121
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 2: the rookie the call there over the veteran. I'm not

122
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 2: saying that if they get the flag there all of

123
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,679
Speaker 2: a sudden we see a better to Shaun at all.

124
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 2: I'm saying there were glimpses, but the bad far outweighed

125
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 2: the good. You have the very interesting dynamic here of

126
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 2: Kevin Stefanski kind of tearing the offense down to the

127
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 2: Studs in the off season to bring in Ken Dorsey,

128
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 2: and they went a lot more five wide, they went

129
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 2: a lot more empty. You know, can you establish a

130
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 2: run game that way? It is very much a work

131
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 2: in progress, and I know the people in Cleveland are

132
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 2: banging the table for well, this is evidence that you

133
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 2: needed to play everybody in the preseason. I would push

134
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 2: back strongly against that. Having worked with the Rams and

135
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 2: Sean mcvagh for all these years. He plays nobody their

136
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 2: fine Week one.

137
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 3: I think it's.

138
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 2: Far more an issue of everybody was injured during training

139
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 2: camp and that lack of cohesion from those injuries I

140
00:06:58,640 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 2: think was evident Week one.

141
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,239
Speaker 1: You know, I gotta say, you sound like a hometown

142
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: announcer calling for past interference calls already.

143
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 2: Well on League one was bad. You got to remember

144
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 2: I have been a fan of the Brown since I

145
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 2: was eleven years old. So it's also going to take

146
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 2: probably some pumping of breaks on game day JP, so

147
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 2: I don't go too overboard with the fandom.

148
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: Andrew Ceciliano with us Mari Cooper. Jerry Judy added to

149
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: the mixing. Jok who's out this week. He put up

150
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns against the Jags last year. But

151
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: Cooper and Judy having those two guys out there, guys

152
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: who played some football at a high level, where did

153
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: they rank in your mind as duos in the league.

154
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: Jags just saw the best duo in the league in

155
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: my opinion last week in Miami.

156
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: You know, the duo conversation is interesting because if healthy,

157
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 2: it's hard to go against, say like digs In Addison,

158
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 2: although he's in only his second season up there in Minnesota,

159
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 2: or the guys you saw last week, Tyreek Hill and

160
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 2: Jalen Wattle. I don't know how anyone's better than those guys.

161
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 2: Pookinakua Cooper Cup here down the street from where I

162
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 2: sit right now. Amari Cooper is special. You know his

163
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: age begins with a three now, so he's getting up there.

164
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 2: But you know he still had two hundred and sixty

165
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 2: five yards on Christmas Eve last year in Houston to

166
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 2: rewrite the Browns record book. He had a fantastic season,

167
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 2: back to back one thousand yard years. Judy gives him

168
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 2: a different kind of weapon. He did look good. His

169
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 2: one drop came when he got blasted by a safety

170
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 2: this past week. But the Djoku loss is huge. He

171
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 2: rarely comes off the field. But the bigger issue is

172
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 2: that Jordan Nakins was the only other tight end on

173
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 2: the roster. Giovanni Ricci, who is more of an h back,

174
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 2: got hurt in camp, got hurt in the preseason, and

175
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 2: so Cameron Latout, the former Niner three round pick, is

176
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 2: on the practice squad, had to bring in Jeff Swain

177
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 2: this week.

178
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 3: They only had one other tight end last week. That's

179
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 3: it period.

180
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: So Jordan Nakins and Deshaun Watson, that familiarity from back

181
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 2: in Houston. That's why he's here to begin with. He

182
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 2: is going to have to see a bigger role, a

183
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 2: much bigger but it is certainly an issue of concern.

184
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: Now.

185
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 2: The one good thing here for the Browns, or the

186
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 2: one little bit of optimism, is that when they put

187
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 2: the four guys on defense on IR this week, Ndjoku

188
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 2: did not go on IR. So that seems to suggest

189
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 2: that his return could be sooner than was feared initially.

190
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: Andrew Siciliano, a voice of the Browns Tough Division AFC

191
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: North Ravens Steelers, will see what goes on with them.

192
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: I mean, this is just a Browns team that can compete.

193
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: Is this a team that's ready for the big time?

194
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 2: Going into last week, everyone said yes, without a doubt,

195
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 2: not only ready to compete, but ready to compete for

196
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 2: New Orleans. Obviously, Week one that was a punch in

197
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 2: the mouth, and that goes without saying nor amplifying, and

198
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 2: nothing I could say, you know makes it worse week

199
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 2: one to week two. Every coach will tell you. I

200
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 2: think Doug said it this week right. Maybe I'm mixing

201
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 2: up my pressers. You see, the biggest jump week one

202
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 2: to week two. They need a big jump. Week two

203
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 2: to me is the truth. Serum Week one is a liar.

204
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 2: So we'll find out Sunday.

205
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 1: Great stuff as always, Man, nice to visit with you.

206
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 1: Congrats on the gig and good luck with the earthquakes.

207
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: I mean you were in LA and the day we

208
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: tape this you were shaking like twenty minutes before, so

209
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're okay.

210
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 2: It was a five point one JP. We haven't had

211
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 2: a five point one in a little bit. It was

212
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 2: It wasn't the strength of the earthquake, not to bore

213
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 2: people in Jacksonville.

214
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 3: You guys get tropical storms. I know.

215
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 2: It was the duration It lasted about a good ten seconds.

216
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 3: It was one where we go, oh that's an earthquake.

217
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 3: Oh wow, that isn't stopping.

218
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 2: So that's why this one was a bit different. But

219
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 2: every everyone's good here, life goes on.

220
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 1: Glad to hear it. We'll see you on Sunday, Andrew.

221
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: Thanks good
