Speaker 3: the head coach of your Cleveland Browns, Kevin Sefanski, following

00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 3: two days of joint practices with the Philadelphia Eagles. You'll

19
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 3: also hear our own Jason Gibbs with Carson Sweessinger, the

20
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 3: impressive rookie who had a heck of a preseason debut

21
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 3: and is going to be counted on to do big,

22
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 3: big things as the Mike linebacker for your Cleveland Browns.

23
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 3: We're gonna talk position battles, We're gonna talk the joint practices.

24
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 3: We're gonna do it all and that starts right now, Gerrod.

25
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 3: The Browns come to Philadelphia for two days of joint

26
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 3: work against the Eagles starters. Get about sixty snaps. Seventy snaps.

27
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 3: That's a game's worth. And this was a successful two days.

28
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,919
Speaker 3: What did you want to hear read about see feel

29
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 3: from the Browns in these joint practices against the defending

30
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 3: Super Bowl champions.

31
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 4: Well, first and foremost, Nathan, I wanted to hear that

32
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 4: they competed. I wanted to hear that they held their

33
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 4: own because when you go into these matchups, especially against

34
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 4: the world champions or Super Bowl champions, you're saying to

35
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 4: yourself as a player and as a team, where do

36
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 4: we stand? Where do we match up? Because they're the

37
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 4: best in the business. So if we can go out

38
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 4: there and hang with them, confidence is built from that.

39
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 4: And then the next thing you want to hear is

40
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 4: that there's no pre snap penalties. All the things that

41
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,119
Speaker 4: we talked about this team need to focus on creating turnovers.

42
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 4: Those things took place. So everything that you worked on

43
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 4: and that you made a focal point throughout the course

44
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 4: of the offseason going into the season you saw take

45
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 4: place or didn't take place. That's a great thing. So

46
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 4: that's what I was looking for, and fortunate enough today

47
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 4: I heard that we did what we had to do

48
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 4: and we handled our business. You even have bloggers for

49
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 4: the Philadelphia Eagles senate we want across the board today

50
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 4: and that's very encouraging.

51
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 3: It is encouraging, and of course you don't win anything

52
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 3: by winning a joint practice, but it just I think

53
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 3: should give some confidence to this football team that, hey,

54
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 3: these guys are the best that our profession has to offer.

55
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 3: This is these are the defending Super Bowl champions, and

56
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 3: we went out there and certainly hung with them, and

57
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 3: I think in many cases I think we were dead

58
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 3: even with them day one and day two. We took

59
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 3: it to them and Drod. One thing they say travels

60
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 3: is defense, and you've been around some great defenses in

61
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 3: your time. The Browns defensive front was dominant both days.

62
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 3: And you could go down the list and I'll do

63
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 3: it quickly, from Miles Garrett to Alex Right, to Isaiah

64
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 3: Maguire to Cam Thomas on the outside, and then on

65
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 3: the inside Malik Collins, Mason Graham blowing plays up, Shelby

66
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 3: Harris making plays, Juwan Briggs making plays, and then Aiden Huntington,

67
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 3: a guy that I think brown faced to keep their

68
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 3: eye on number sixty six making plays. I mean, it

69
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 3: was a relentless assault. Miles Garrett of the course of

70
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 3: two days may have had twenty sacks and people say, yeah,

71
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 3: Lane Johnson wasn't in there today. Yeah, but Miles rushes

72
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 3: against the left tackle, a lot rushes against the right

73
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 3: tackle some for sure, and did some of that yesterday,

74
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 3: but today was going against Jordan Maliata, who is my lotta,

75
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, who was one of the premier left tackles

76
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 3: in the National Football League. And he took Jordan Milatta

77
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 3: to school today.

78
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's encouraging because the one thing you want

79
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 4: to hear is that the defense is traveling. And the

80
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 4: guys that you're mentioning, I've seen them last week on

81
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 4: special teams make plays and that's going to help the cause.

82
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 4: And if you're tell me that they're going against the

83
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 4: World champions and they're still handling their business, or petty

84
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 4: hit the Super Bowl champions and they're handling their business,

85
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 4: they're out there dominating. And that what you saw in Borea,

86
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 4: what's the same thing taking place in Philadelphia as well

87
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 4: as in Carolina. That's a great sign because that speaks

88
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 4: to consistency. Because anybody can rally to the calls once

89
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 4: a week or once every three or four games, right,

90
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 4: But when you're doing it consistently, now you're building to

91
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 4: the place to where you could do it throughout the

92
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 4: regular season on a regular basis. And that's how you

93
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 4: have a dominant defense, and that's how you get back

94
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 4: into the conversation of being a top five, if not

95
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 4: number one defense in the National Football League.

96
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 3: No, you're exactly right. That's the one thing we've seen.

97
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 3: We've seen this defense line be so good the entire time.

98
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 3: We saw them in Berea, we saw it in Charlotte,

99
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 3: and now we are seeing it in Philadelphia. So I

100
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 3: think that's one of those things that I think we're

101
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 3: gonna be able to count on. I think it's gonna

102
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 3: be the backbone of this Cleveland Browns team.

103
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 4: I really do.

104
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be the backbone that's what's gonna

105
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 3: make everything go offensively. Joe Flacco basically got all the

106
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 3: work with the ones in the team drills. Dylan Gabriel

107
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 3: got somebody. It was basically Joe Flacco. And as we've

108
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 3: talked about Gerrod many times, the injury to Kenny Pickett

109
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 3: has kind of ended. It feels like, in many ways,

110
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 3: what was to be a quarterback competition between those two

111
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 3: veterans to start Week one, And it would not surprise

112
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 3: me at all if Joe Flacco were to be named

113
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 3: the starter after we returned from Philadelphia and getting ready

114
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 3: for the Rams and Kevin Sefanski, I think you'll hear

115
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 3: I'm going to talk with him later on, but we'll

116
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 3: get an idea of how he plans to use that

117
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 3: Rams game to get ready for the season.

118
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, that seems like the most sensible thing to do.

119
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 4: And at this point too, then as you get closer

120
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 4: to preseason game number three, you want to start having

121
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 4: guys have an idea who that captain is, who that

122
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 4: leader is at the quarterback position. So I would not

123
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 4: be surprised if something was announced. And obviously Kenny did

124
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 4: not help his cause and he didn't do that intentionally,

125
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 4: but yeah, a hamstring injury, especially for a guy who's

126
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 4: known for being a mobile quarterback, is going to sideline you.

127
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 4: It's gonna throw off your game and what you're known for.

128
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 4: Because if he was just strictly a pocket passer, then

129
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 4: more n likely he could be out there, and then

130
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 4: the thought would be that, Okay, I don't have to

131
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 4: move that much around because simply put, that's what I'm

132
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 4: known for, just sticking in the pocket. But obviously that's

133
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 4: not the case for him. But Joe doing what he's doing,

134
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 4: man's been impressed throughout the course of OTA's going into

135
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 4: mini camp, into training camp, and so I'm confident that

136
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,799
Speaker 4: Joe can get the job done and better yet, we've

137
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 4: seen him get the job done in the Browns uniform.

138
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 4: So it will not surprise me either if he was

139
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 4: named sooner than later as a guy that'll be starting

140
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 4: against the Bengals September seventh. Yeah.

141
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 3: One of the things I really liked as well, and

142
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 3: this one, is that the practice kind of built to

143
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 3: a crescendo and it was a live two minute period

144
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 3: at the end, and the Browns basically scored on not

145
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 3: three straight plays, but they had three scoring plays from

146
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 3: the starters. Because one was a deep kind of a

147
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 3: post to Jerry Judy.

148
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 4: He caught it.

149
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 3: Mitchell was kind of trying to be right on his back,

150
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 3: fell down, he was gone to the end zone. Beautiful

151
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 3: ball from Flacco, and Jerry Judy's been so darned good

152
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 3: this entire offseason, picking up where he left off at

153
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 3: the end of last season. And then they said, well,

154
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 3: you know what, he was down, we'll get some more

155
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 3: work here, and Joe Flacco found David Joku in the

156
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 3: back of the end zone. People forget David Njoku two

157
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 3: years ago was a Pro bowler eighty one catches that season,

158
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 3: eight hundred and eighty two yards and six touchdowns. Four

159
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 3: of those touchdowns and two one hundred yard games happened

160
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 3: in the five games with Joe Flacco, so you saw

161
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 3: their chemistry. Then the Browns pulled out a little trickeration

162
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 3: and they went from Flacco to Fan into Dylan Samson

163
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 3: for the two point conversion. So they dominated there and

164
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 3: then on the other field, it was the Browns ones

165
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 3: against Jalen hurts they couldn't get anything over the top,

166
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 3: couldn't get into the end zone either. They tried Devonte Smith,

167
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 3: Denzel War a PBu he erased him, and Denzel Ward

168
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 3: continues to be playing draft at an incredibly high level.

169
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 3: And I think this might be the season where he

170
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 3: finally gets some of the respect and not variety that

171
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 3: he deserves for how good he.

172
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 4: Is, right because I'm like, how's this guy not a

173
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 4: conversation on a regular basis as the top corner in

174
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 4: the land. But we understand why people put a premium

175
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 4: heavy and I understand so why on interceptions, But the

176
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 4: fact that he can shut down a premier receiver on

177
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 4: any given Sunday, you appreciate that. And certainly I can

178
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 4: see a cause to Nathan where people start giving his

179
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 4: just due respect because he is Certainly I think he's

180
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 4: had his best training camp that I can recall to

181
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 4: where he's been active, invisible on a daily basis and

182
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 4: making plays.

183
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 3: He has been and he was the star, and he

184
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 3: went one on one and basically just took Devonte Smith

185
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 3: right out of the equation. And Vonta Smith, a very

186
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 3: good receiver in his own right, for the defending Super

187
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 3: Bowl champions. He was a first round pick tenth overall

188
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 3: in the twenty twenty one draft. So this guy one

189
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 3: thousand yard seasons. He neutralize him. So that was good

190
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 3: that Dylan Gabriel comes out with the second team throws

191
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 3: a touchdown to Harold Fannon on his best ball of

192
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 3: the day, about a twenty yard corner route that was perfect.

193
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 3: Hit him right and stride fan and had a big

194
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 3: day as well, Gerrod. And it's clear you know a

195
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 3: lot of people, what about the Browns wide receivers, what

196
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 3: about the wide receivers you know beyond Judy And I said, listen,

197
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 3: we're gonna be in a lot of twelve personnel, two

198
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 3: tight ends. Harold Fannon is going to be, in many

199
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 3: ways our de facto third receiver, but also give you

200
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 3: that advantage in the run game because he can block

201
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 3: and he's a big tight end.

202
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 4: Right exactly, And will I appreciate that and Toma creating

203
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 4: a mismatch, that's what offensive coordination is all about. But

204
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 4: if you could do it just on personnel alone, and

205
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 4: that's what he presents, because okay, let's try on the linebacker.

206
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 4: Let's see how that works. Can he run with him?

207
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 4: All right, let's go down the size nickel dime or

208
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 4: strong safety. Can he out physically him? All those things

209
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 4: are going to set Harold Fanning up to be a

210
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 4: premier in my opinion, h back tight end, why however

211
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 4: you want to call it, but I do think anything

212
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,119
Speaker 4: he's going to be that guy who creates natural mismatches

213
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 4: simply put on his physical stature and going in at

214
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 4: twelve personnel that we talk about. So if you have

215
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 4: a guy like him and in Djoku along with Judy, yeah,

216
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 4: you can get away with not having another premier number

217
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 4: two or one wide receiver, but I'll take one if

218
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 4: we can have one developed.

219
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And listen, this rookie class is going to be

220
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 3: a big part of what we do. We talked about

221
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 3: Carson Swessinger, He's gonna be starting, Mike Mason Graham was

222
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 3: in the backfield all over the place, playing great, great

223
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 3: football in these joint practices. He's gonna be a big

224
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 3: part of what we do. Dylan Samson, you know, is

225
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 3: going to be a big part of what we do.

226
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 3: Then you talk about Harold fan and you talk about

227
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 3: these young quarterbacks. I think eventually you are going to

228
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 3: get an opportunity as well. And then there was more

229
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 3: news today, Gerrod that could impact what this rookie class

230
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 3: looks like even further, and I'd say significantly so, and

231
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 3: that is that there will be no charges brought against

232
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 3: Quinn Shawn Judkins. We have found that out today, a

233
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 3: huge development kind of in this story, and it came

234
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 3: with a great amount of detail as well. This is

235
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 3: from Andy Slater, who was a talk show host on

236
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 3: air Personality down in Florida, and he said, quote, the

237
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 3: Cleveland Browns running back Quinchon Judkins will not face any

238
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 3: formal charges from the alleged incident in South Florida. The

239
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 3: decision was based on several factors, including late reporting of

240
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 3: the allegedencid to police, no surveillance video, and no independent witnesses.

241
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 3: The state attorney also says there were videos seen during

242
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 3: the timeframe that did show the victim did not have injuries,

243
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 3: and so Quinjhon Judkins. You'd have to imagine we talked

244
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 3: about that Browns and hope that he'd be back sooner

245
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 3: rather than later, but it sounds like that is going

246
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 3: to be sooner. As the Browns have said from the

247
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 3: very beginning, they have wanted Quinchon Judkins to focus on

248
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,839
Speaker 3: his legal matters before coming to Campbell. It sounds like

249
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 3: those are resolved, and it sounds like those have been

250
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 3: resolved in a way that certainly makes you, very, very

251
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 3: feel a lot better about quin Shawn Judkins in a

252
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 3: Cleveland Browns uniform and so Drod, I think he could

253
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 3: be back soon. I think we're close to a resolution here.

254
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's great news. That sounds really good. And if

255
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 4: it is the case, that he can sign in the

256
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 4: next few days or next week, can get up to

257
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 4: speed and just get back in the mix of things,

258
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 4: because I'm pretty sure Nathan he has been working out.

259
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure he right now. His physical statue is

260
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 4: probably elite because all he's been doing is working out

261
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 4: as opposed to doing practice in going to meetings and

262
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 4: things of that nature to do the fact he's not here.

263
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 4: But once he does get here, I hope he's in

264
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 4: a space to where he's paid attention to really good

265
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 4: notes and they can just plug him right in and

266
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 4: he can get going. That's easier said than done, but

267
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 4: it is a possibility.

268
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 3: It is indeed, And this you know, listen for the

269
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 3: Browns for what we're going to be this year. Getting

270
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 3: him back, I think is massive to what you want, right,

271
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 3: the identity that you want to have, to being a team,

272
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 3: that you want to be able to play good defense,

273
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 3: you want to be able to run the ball. This

274
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 3: is quin Shawn Judkins. That's what he does, right, That's

275
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 3: the guy who certainly fits that bill for you. And

276
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 3: this is I think, this is it's big news. And

277
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 3: this is one of those things where they say, you

278
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 3: got to let these legal processes play out. It's hard

279
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 3: in this day and age. You know, people rush to

280
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 3: judgment very quickly, and it seems that in this case,

281
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 3: you know, quin Shawn Judkins, the story has changed, it appears,

282
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 3: and certainly a chance to be with the Cleveland Browns.

283
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 3: And these things are always so hard to talk about

284
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 3: because we don't know. We weren't there, right, right, we

285
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 3: weren't exactly.

286
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 4: You don't want to be decisitive of any type of

287
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 4: violence of any sort, So I get where you're coming from, right,

288
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 4: You certainly don't. You don't want to assume or speculate

289
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 4: either on the subject matter. So touchy. With that being said,

290
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 4: the fact that he's been cleared, you move forward and

291
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 4: hopefully again, we'll see him sign a contract sooner rather

292
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 4: than later, and he'll be in back in the Brown's

293
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 4: uniform doing what he was brought here to do, which

294
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 4: is running football effectively well and helping this football team

295
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 4: get back on track and be another one of those

296
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,719
Speaker 4: rookies who were expecting to have a major contribution far

297
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 4: as the success of this football team in twenty twenty five.

298
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 3: Yes, and then there is war news for the Cleveland Browns.

299
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 3: And this is reporting from Adam Schefter earlier today. The

300
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 3: sexual assault case against former Texas wide receiver Isaiah Bond

301
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 3: has been no build and he will face no further

302
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 3: criminal charges, as agent Damian Butler told ESPN on Thursday.

303
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 3: Adam Schefter followed up with a statement from the County

304
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 3: District Attorney Greg Willis. After reviewing all the evidence presented,

305
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 3: a Collin County Grand Jurior returned a no bill in

306
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 3: the sexual assault charge involving Isaiah Bond, meaning no indictment

307
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 3: will be issued. This concludes the criminal proceedings for this matter.

308
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 3: Isaiah Bond, the receiver out of Texas who many thought

309
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 3: was one of the top six or so receivers in

310
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 3: this draft. He went undrafted due to these allegations against him.

311
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 3: Then posted on Twitter first and foremost someone expressed my

312
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 3: deepest gratitude to the Cleveland Browns for believing in me

313
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 3: and allowing the opportunity continue my career in the NFL.

314
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 3: Football has been my passion since I was six year old,

315
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 3: and playing at this level as a blessing. I will

316
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 3: never take for granted. I understand playing the NFL as

317
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 3: a privilege, and I'm thankful every day to live my

318
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 3: child blihood dream. He talked about the recent allegations, saying

319
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 3: I am grateful for the decisions of the prosecutor and

320
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 3: the courts not to pursue charges. I will learn from

321
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 3: this experience as I've grown wisdom, character and faith. On

322
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 3: the advice of my attorney, I will not discuss the

323
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 3: details of the case, but I want to be clear

324
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 3: from the very beginning of refuted these allegations and maintain

325
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 3: my innocence. I stand firm by that today. He went

326
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 3: on finally to say, I want a sincerely thing the

327
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 3: Cleveland brown specifically mister Haslin, mister Barry, forgive me this

328
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 3: opportunity and goes on Now. This was posted that Isaiah

329
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 3: Bond had signed with the Cleveland Browns. Now, the Cleveland

330
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 3: Browns have said that they are doing their due diligence

331
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 3: on Isaiah Bond and they has not signed yet. They

332
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 3: are still doing that due diligence and that that signing,

333
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 3: if it is to come, is not going to come

334
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 3: tonight now. Isaiah Bond a lot of speed, productive player

335
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 3: at Alabama and Texas in three seasons, ninety nine catches,

336
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 3: fourteen hundred and twenty eight yards, ten touchdowns. Lance Erline

337
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 3: at NFL dot Com gave the player comp of Jaalen

338
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 3: Waddle and said, this is a guy that will be

339
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 3: a better pro than he was in college because he's

340
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 3: so suited to the game. But again, this kind of

341
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 3: two of these in one day, it's tough to kind

342
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 3: of get your head around a little bit to Rod.

343
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 3: But we'll see if the Browns, you know, rookie class

344
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 3: all of a sudden includes Quinn Shawn Judkins, whom they've

345
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 3: drafted and Isaiah Bond, who they did not but would

346
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 3: have been a Day two pick. It changes things, but

347
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 3: obviously a lot of complications around it.

348
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 4: In a situation like this, they certainly are and again

349
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 4: doing your due due diligence is the prudent thing to do.

350
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 4: With that being said, the only thing you can hope

351
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 4: is that if it is the case that the sincerity

352
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 4: is there, that you have learned from the situation that

353
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 4: you were in and that you avoid those situations and

354
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 4: you'll be on the straight and narrow and here they

355
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 4: play football and taking care of business. So yeah, that's

356
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 4: a lot to consume when you consider it. But again,

357
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 4: this football team is in a space to where it

358
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 4: needs that type of firepower, It needs that type of

359
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 4: potential production in order to make his presence felt on

360
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 4: the football field. So the opportunity is certainly here. And

361
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 4: if I was Bond, I would be looking right now

362
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 4: here too at the receiver situation, because outside of Judy,

363
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 4: we can't say with complete affirmation that we know who

364
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 4: are one A or two A, or three A or

365
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 4: three B is at this point. So it makes all

366
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 4: the sense in the world if you are wi receiver

367
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 4: with his stature and status to say, you know what,

368
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 4: where's the best opportunity for me? And that certainly is here,

369
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 4: because the opportunity seems to be massive.

370
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 3: It does, and we will certainly keep you up posted

371
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 3: on these developments as they come. When we come back, though,

372
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 3: we are going to hear from the head coach of

373
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 3: your Cleveland Browns, Kevin Stefanski. You are listening to the

374
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 3: Kevin Stefanski Show presented by the Browns VIP Tailgate, all

375
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 3: along the University Hospitals Cleveland Brown's Radio Network.

376
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 1: You know what I do appreciate we got a bunch

377
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 1: of guys on this football team that really do love

378
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: to compete.

379
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Coach Kevin Stefanski Show, presented by

380
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 2: the Browns VIP Tailgate, the ultimate pregame experience at the

381
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 2: Great Lakes Science Center. This is the University Hospitals Cleveland

382
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 2: Brown's Radio Network.

383
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 3: Welcome back to the Kevin Stefanski Show presented by the

384
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 3: Browns VIP Tailgate. Time now to have a conversation with

385
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 3: a two time NFL Coach of the Year and the

386
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 3: head coach of your Cleveland Browns, Kevin Stefanski. All right, coach,

387
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 3: a couple days of good work against the defending Super

388
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 3: Bowl champions in the heat in Philly. Kind of big

389
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 3: picture overall takeaways. What jumped out to you about your

390
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 3: team's performance?

391
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, two days versus a very good football team.

392
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: You're going to learn a lot about yourself. You mentioned

393
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: the heat that was good for both teams. It was

394
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: good for us certainly to be in the middle of

395
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: that and endure and be resilient, and the guys pushed through.

396
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: It wasn't always perfect on any side of the ball,

397
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: but I thought the competition was great. I thought the

398
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: guys pushed each other. We won our fair share plays.

399
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: They want their fair share plays, which is what it

400
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: should look like in a joint practice. So I thought

401
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 1: all the units really played a good football for most

402
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: of the time we're there. There's so much that we

403
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: can clean up. There's so much that we want to

404
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: get corrected, but really pleased overall with getting our work done,

405
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: staying as healthy as possible, and also, you know, not

406
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: falling victim to some of the craziness that happens at

407
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: joint practice. Guys knew that we were there for one job,

408
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: and that was to get better together, and I thought

409
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: the guys did.

410
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 3: That all right. They say defense travels. I am ready

411
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 3: to declare after seeing it in Marina, seeing it in Charlotte,

412
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 3: and seeing it for that this defensive line is going

413
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 3: to travel and it's not just the first team, the

414
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 3: depth of it. We've talked about that before. But how

415
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,239
Speaker 3: pleased were you? And I know the Dickerson wasn't out there.

416
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 3: I know Lane Johnson wasn't out there today, But the

417
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 3: fact of the matter is that your defensive front I

418
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 3: thought was the standout unit period over these two days.

419
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, Alisten, I'm not going to disagree with you. There.

420
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 1: Our group, we're built to play multiple guys. That's how

421
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: this system operates. We wave guys, we have our Alpha,

422
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: we have our Bravo. I feel really good about the

423
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: depth of that group, and you saw it on display.

424
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: You saw guys making plays in the groups for the ones.

425
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: You saw guys making plays in the groups with the two.

426
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: So that's how we're built. We're built to be eight, nine,

427
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: ten deep, or we can just throw waves of guys

428
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: at you. So you know, I think what you see

429
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: is a bunch of young, hungry football players and it

430
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: fits our scheme.

431
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 3: I could literally list ten people right now that all

432
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 3: had standout moments over the last few days, but I

433
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 3: am going to list Miles Garrett, and of course he's

434
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 3: been the defensive player of the year. You expected, but

435
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 3: it got to a point where it was almost comical,

436
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 3: and it felt like the Eagles thought it was comical,

437
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 3: the refs thought it was comical. He just had to

438
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 3: kind of stop because he was wrecking practice.

439
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been on the other side of it. I

440
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 1: can tell you. You know, you're trying to get something accomplished

441
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: on the offensive side and you can't. There's plays you

442
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: can't run and practice versus Miles. He's the best in

443
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: the game, so it's no surprise, but it's it's also

444
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,439
Speaker 1: good for our players to see him go up against

445
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: other great players and still win his fair share.

446
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 3: I mean, Mallotta is one of the top left tackles

447
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 3: in the league. Hopefully Dewan when he watched that tape

448
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 3: and say, look, it's Miles, but you can continue to

449
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 3: learn from from those matchups even when he gets the best.

450
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: Of you one hundred percent. And I've talked to Dewan

451
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: about that very sentiment, and we saw it last week

452
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: in Carolina. They have a young first round draft pick

453
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 1: with a ton of talent, and Miles just the way

454
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: he moves, he makes guys, he's going to make you

455
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: great when you go up against him every single day, all.

456
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 3: Right, from the well known like Miles Garyn got a

457
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 3: little bit of a lesser known. Aden Huntington, who's the

458
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 3: name that maybe Browns fans need to start paying more

459
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 3: attention to, was certainly flashed in Carolina. Sack and then

460
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 3: special teams big hits. I thought he was in the

461
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 3: backfield quite a bit over these two days as well.

462
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: He's he's done a really nice job. You know, you

463
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: mentioned special teams and start there. When you have big

464
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: guys that can contribute on special teams, that's a huge deal.

465
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: I think the the kickoff rules when they went to

466
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: the dynamic is that where we're calling down dynamic. When

467
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 1: they went to the dynamic kickoff last season, that allowed

468
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: some bigger bodies out there because you don't have to

469
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: run the length of the field. You can be down

470
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: there already and it's now hand to hand combat. It's

471
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,959
Speaker 1: button press and you've seen we've certainly used a lot

472
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: of our big guys out there, think about Mike Hall

473
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 1: last season. But you can use defensive tackles that have

474
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: the ability to get off of blocks and make tackles,

475
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: and Aiden did a really nice job in there.

476
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 3: All right, let's talk about on the offensive side. It

477
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 3: felt like Joe flaccol especially at the end of practice

478
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 3: and that kind of end the game situation really got

479
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 3: into a nice rhythm, was throwing some very good balls around.

480
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 3: How did you kind of feel about the progress for

481
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 3: the offense because at times it was tough. That's a

482
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 3: very good defense, but it felt like they kind of

483
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 3: started to hit their stride right at the end.

484
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a great period. Then practice today with

485
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: our offense making some plays. You know, on the first play,

486
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: Joe hits Jerry on a big gainer that scores a touchdown.

487
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 3: It's a touchdown.

488
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: Well, it's hard because we're not going live, so I'm

489
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: expecting or waiting for the officials there to say he's down,

490
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 1: And there was a lot of just looking around and

491
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 1: waiting and waiting. Finally we said, okay, fine, he didn't

492
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: score touchdown because I don't mind, let's put the ball

493
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 1: back down. It was a touchdown, probably was a touchdown,

494
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: but I don't mind because it's the course of practice.

495
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: We're trying to get better. Let's put the ball down

496
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: and run some more plays. We got some more work

497
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: out of it. Eventually scored a touchdown, I believe to

498
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 1: Dave Nijoku, So good work for our guys. And Jerry's

499
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: running rounds versus Quinnon Mitchell and he's a great, great

500
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: young player. So again, why do you do these things

501
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: so then you can get good versus good? Obviously we

502
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: get to go against Denzel every single day and that

503
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: makes us us great, but the ability to go up

504
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: against a different colored jersey, different scheme, I think is invaluable.

505
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 3: And then Dylan comes in with his best throw of

506
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 3: the day and it kind of was like a golfer

507
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 3: who is maybe struggling to find his swing with then

508
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 3: you birdy eighteen right, and then you're like, oh, I

509
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 3: can't wait to get back out there. How did that

510
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 3: kind of first of all, great throw on the corner

511
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 3: to Harold Fan and we'll talk about him in a second,

512
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 3: but you know, did you see that maybe that had

513
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 3: a little lyft for him because it had been kind

514
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 3: of choppy.

515
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

516
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 1: I think for any young player, if you're out for

517
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: a day or two days or three days, you need

518
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 1: to get back in the rhythm of practice. And I

519
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: thought there were some really good moments for him on

520
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: day one. There were some throws I know he wants

521
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 1: back and he's still working himself back into full speed

522
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: health as well, So I think that's an element of it.

523
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: But like you said, to be able to perform in

524
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: that two minute drill right out of the gates with

525
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: a touchdown to Harold, I thought was outstanding.

526
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 3: Speaking of Harold, we've talked about him as kind of

527
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 3: the queen Chess piece for you to use, and he

528
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 3: looks like he is going to play a big role

529
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 3: immediately this season. We saw it today, involved in some

530
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 3: things that I don't know if we can even discuss

531
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 3: or not, but they were certainly fun to watch if

532
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 3: he were there live. But it felt like he was

533
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,719
Speaker 3: just all over the place. Had one that he probably

534
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,479
Speaker 3: wanted back that he should have caught early on. Now

535
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 3: it was tip ball was tipped, always tipped. Nonetheless, very

536
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 3: strong day and he just he doesn't look like a

537
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 3: rookie at all to me.

538
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, what I appreciate about this kid is he's a

539
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: very and I say kid, he's a young man. He's

540
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 1: just four twenty one. This guy is competitive. I mean

541
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 1: he and maybe no mistake with him being from Northeast Ohio,

542
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: but man, this kid practices hard. He's physical, he gets

543
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 1: open and catches the ball pretty simple, but the ability

544
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: to move around the chessboard, as you say, you got

545
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: to have be intelligent, you got to be able to

546
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: handle that stuff, and he can. And I get a

547
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: lot of credit to Harold and also his college coach,

548
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: Scott Leffler, who was there today. He's now the quarterbacks

549
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: coach for the Eagles. They did a great job with

550
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: him at Bowling Green, utilizing him in all these places.

551
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 3: How hard is it to know where you are in

552
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 3: the run game when you're not really tackling.

553
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's always a challenge. I think you

554
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: go back to those two live periods that we had

555
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: at practice, and you saw, you know, there are times

556
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: when you have unblocked players, but you have talented runners

557
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: and they make a miss or they break a tackle.

558
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: So I feel confident that we're getting a good feel

559
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 1: for our offensive line, for our runners and what they're

560
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: good at, and then it's our job to scheme it up.

561
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 3: Over the two days, it felt like it was about

562
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 3: sixty plus ish snaps for the ones.

563
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 1: Is that yeah, yeah, definitely by the guy in there. Yeah,

564
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: exactly right. So that's the whole design with these practices,

565
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: and you know, you go real hard. On day one,

566
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 1: you'd pull it back a little bit. On day two,

567
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: you still go hard, just less amount of time on

568
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 1: the field. And then what you what you've done is

569
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: you've put your players in a bunch of different situations,

570
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: a bunch of different scenarios. So then that game can

571
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: really be for the guys that didn't get as many reps.

572
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: And the whole point of the preseason is just to

573
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: get your team ready for the season, a seventeen plus season,

574
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 1: and what do they need to get ready? So there's

575
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: certain players that need a lot to get ready. There's

576
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 1: certain players that don't need a lot to get ready.

577
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 1: When I say a lot in terms of being playing

578
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 1: in the game. But for a guy like Joel Botonio,

579
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,360
Speaker 1: you know I use Joel as an example, is year

580
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: what for him eleven?

581
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 3: He was drafted in twenty fourteen, Yeah, year eleven.

582
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: So he doesn't necessarily need game reps, but he needs reps.

583
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 1: He needs reps out here in the practice field, and

584
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: he got a ton of them today. And you do

585
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: it in a safe environment where you're not gonna have

586
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 1: you shouldn't have guys. It should be as safe an

587
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: environment as you can in your quarterback, as you know,

588
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: is not getting hit, so it's a safe way to

589
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: get players ready for the season.

590
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 3: All right, this might be the only interview or press

591
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 3: conrace you've done where we went nine minutes and twenty

592
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 3: seconds before.

593
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 1: We got in. That's a record. That's a record, pretty

594
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 1: good one.

595
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 3: Obviously. How disappointing was it to have Shador suffer the

596
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,959
Speaker 3: setback after you know, looking good against Carolina and then

597
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 3: probably wanting to see him build on that against high

598
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 3: quality competition.

599
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, always disappointed when a guy can't go. When you

600
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: take reps from a player with an injury, that's that's stink.

601
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: So just need to be smart though, when you have

602
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 1: an oblique injury, what you don't want to do with

603
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: a quarterback is make it worse because they are using

604
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 1: there's all torque and that's twisting and that's how you throw.

605
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 1: So disappointed for him, but I do look at a

606
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: guy like Kenny who's also not being able to take

607
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: reps because of injury. You still got to get every

608
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: mental RepU possibly can. So he's got great leadership in

609
00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: that room that even though he may not be getting

610
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: the rep, he's still making sure that he's maximizing all

611
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: those throughout camp.

612
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 3: All right, So I think it's probably too early to

613
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 3: know what's going to happen on Saturday as it relates

614
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 3: to the quarterback.

615
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: Definitely too early.

616
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 3: Yes, Okay, so Dylan game time decision?

617
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think again, if he's ready to go and

618
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 1: he's healthy, you can put him out there, but similarly,

619
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: would not put him in a situation where he could

620
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: make something worse.

621
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 3: All right, So we'll find that out on Saturday, So

622
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 3: tune in for that. Have you been able to Tomorrow's

623
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 3: a day off? Enjoy Philly?

624
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got in on Tuesday, took the coaching staff

625
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: to one of the best Italian restaurants there is, and

626
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: I would say definitely in this city, a place called

627
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: Ralph's in South Philly. It's apparently the country's oldest family

628
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: owned Italian restaurants still operating.

629
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 3: So that's awesome.

630
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: I didn't know that I found that out, but I've

631
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: been there a bunch before, and we've brought the staff

632
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: over there and Ville Parmigiana chef's.

633
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 3: Kiss magna fik. All right, very good coach, as always,

634
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 3: we certainly appreciate the time. Great week of work here

635
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 3: and then can people expect that when we come back

636
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 3: from this, are we entering next week? Is that season

637
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 3: preparation mode and that could come with announcements about the

638
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 3: quarterback and just really that's when everything changes into we're

639
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 3: starting to get ready for the Cincinnati.

640
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: It does you kind of leave quote unquote training camp mode.

641
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: You're still you're in that place where you're in a

642
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: regular season game week. So we treat we we'll give

643
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: the guys a game plan, We'll go through the machinations

644
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: of what it looks like when you're getting ready for

645
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: a game. We'll still do plenty of Browns versus Browns

646
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: in practice so that the guys are still keeping an edge.

647
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, it is starting to exit quote unquote training

648
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: camp and getting the team ready for the season.

649
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 3: And maybe that week we would see the guys in

650
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 3: the preseason.

651
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, that's the plan.

652
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 3: Oh baby, write that down, folks. All right, coach, thanks

677
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 3: on one.

678
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 5: Thanks guys here with rookie linebacker Carson Sweessen's you're not

679
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 5: exactly playing like a rookie here in the early going

680
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 5: Joint practice number two in the books for this week,

681
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 5: joint practice three total. Over the course of the last

682
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 5: two weeks. What's been the biggest thing that has stood

683
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 5: out to you?

684
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 6: I think just the competitiveness with which we're playing as

685
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 6: a as a team. And obviously there's always gonna be

686
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 6: things to clean up, but the way we're coming out

687
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 6: here competing and playing hard and fast and physicals has

688
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 6: been great.

689
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 5: Do you think that something like this is almost better

690
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 5: than a preseason game because you guys are on the

691
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 5: road for four days last week, five days this week,

692
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 5: just kind of coming together on the road in another

693
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 5: environment in practice at someone else's feel.

694
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, it definitely brings the team together when you when

695
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 6: you're together for that four or five day span as

696
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 6: opposed to just you know, being here for a day

697
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 6: for a game, So that that aspect is key. And

698
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 6: then you know, you have the time in the hotel

699
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 6: where you hang out with your teammates and just go together.

700
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 6: And then also just the practices against another look that

701
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 6: you know, offenses all run a little bit different things.

702
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 6: So you're getting still good work against another team and

703
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 6: that's always great too.

704
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 5: Absolutely it is talking with Carson Schwaestn's your rookie linebacker

705
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 5: here from UCLA and your new Cleveland Browns middle linebacker,

706
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 5: and how's this defense been, How is everything coming together?

707
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 5: What have you seen that you've liked? What do you

708
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 5: thinks that you still want to work on. I think

709
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 5: there's there's always room to improve.

710
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 6: But I think what we're doing a really good job

711
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 6: of is is being able to come out here and

712
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 6: we're gonna play fast, and we're gonna play physical, and

713
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 6: and that's really what we want to do. And when

714
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 6: you're doing that, you're gonna be able to make plays.

715
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 6: And I think obviously there's always gonna be things to

716
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 6: clean up, like I said, and we'll continue to do that,

717
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 6: but being able here to come out play fast, play physical,

718
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 6: and you know, when you have the front end and

719
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 6: the back end working together, you're able to make a

720
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 6: lot of plays.

721
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, you guys are right in the

722
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 5: middle of two very talented position groups and not sure

723
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 5: changing your position group at all. What's it like to

724
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,719
Speaker 5: have a defensive line at a defensive front like you

725
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 5: have that basically opens things up and allows you guys

726
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 5: to make plays at that next level.

727
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, it definitely, like you said, allows us to make plays,

728
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 6: opens things up when when guys can't focus on the

729
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 6: second level because we've got so many players up front

730
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 6: and we got so many players in the back end.

731
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 6: It allows us to sometimes run free sometimes, you know,

732
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 6: be able to do what we want to do and

733
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 6: have other guys make plays, have us make plays. Really

734
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 6: allows the whole defense to be able to make plays

735
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 6: and work together to do that.

736
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 5: Has there been a I'm sure there has been. How

737
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 5: many moments I guess has there been when you watch

738
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 5: Miles Garrett do what he does in front of you,

739
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 5: Every moment.

740
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 6: You watch it, you're gonna see it. There's no moment

741
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 6: where you won't see it.

742
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 5: It's pretty amazing. But like, the whole defensive lines come

743
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 5: together nicely, especially the guy that was taking the Browns

744
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 5: top overall. Pick Mason Graham. How much time do you

745
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 5: two spend together as rookies and significant contributors now on

746
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 5: this defense. I mean we've seen him grow up quite

747
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 5: a bit as well here.

748
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, we spend a lot of time together,

749
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 6: whether it's just getting got up and being prepared so

750
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 6: that when we go out there, we're ready. And it's

751
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 6: been cool to see as I, you know, start to

752
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 6: learn more and get more comfortable, the same thing's happening

753
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 6: for him and starting to see him make a lot

754
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 6: of plays, and you know, it's cool to see and

755
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 6: you know, I'm excited to be able to continue to

756
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 6: do that with him.

757
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 5: All Right, you got a few snaps in on Friday

758
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 5: night first NFL game. Was there a moment where you

759
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 5: got caught in the headlights, Like, not during the game,

760
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 5: but maybe you came out to warm up and just

761
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 5: had the I'm getting ready for an NFL game and

762
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 5: playing on the field. Was there a moment whether it

763
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 5: was the road trip or any of that. To be honest,

764
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 5: this might not sound right, but not really. I was

765
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 5: just really excited to get out there and go play.

766
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 5: There wasn't really a maybe I should have taken a

767
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 5: moment to really think about it, but for me, it

768
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 5: was a blast to.

769
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 6: Go out there, and you know, I can't wait to

770
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:44,919
Speaker 6: go out there again.

771
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 5: Who's been the most helpful on this defense for you

772
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 5: in terms of maybe mentoring, giving you advice, making sure

773
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 5: you're in the right place at the right time, helping

774
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 5: out with film study, any of that.

775
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 6: I mean, I could really I got a whole list

776
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 6: of names for that, every single person from you know,

777
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 6: you got the same he's in the back end, you

778
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,720
Speaker 6: got the front line. Even the backer group has probably

779
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 6: I'm with him the most, So you know, you got

780
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,720
Speaker 6: Tarvin Schwartz, and then the other backers, especially the vets

781
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 6: who've been in there for a while, uh Bush and

782
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 6: Bake have helped a lot, and even the guys who've

783
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 6: only been there in the mood when Bookie, like all

784
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 6: those guys, everyone's helped, and really the goals to just

785
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 6: take bits and pieces from everybody.

786
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 5: So when you take a look at this team in

787
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 5: general from an offensive standpoint, going up against the offensive

788
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:31,760
Speaker 5: line to make you better defensively, and all the pieces

789
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 5: parts of the talent. Also then the coaching you mentioned Tarvs.

790
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 5: What's he meant to your career here so far? In

791
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 5: the early going, He's been great so far.

792
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 6: I think just the attention to detail he has and

793
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 6: the ability, you know, we kind of think the same

794
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,800
Speaker 6: with something, so the way he can get things across

795
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 6: and be able to teach teach what he wants, and

796
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 6: then also just the drills that we run that that

797
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 6: you could see turning into skill when when you're playing

798
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 6: on the fields. All that has been helpful, whether it's

799
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 6: scheme wise, skill wise, you know, all those aspects. I

800
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 6: think he's been instrumental.

801
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,800
Speaker 5: What is the biggest area of improvement that you want

802
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 5: for yourself between now and when we kick things off

803
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 5: in Week one against Cincinnati.

804
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 6: I mean I could go a lot of ways with this.

805
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 6: I'm trying to improve every aspect of my game. I

806
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 6: think just just getting used to a little bit of

807
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 6: the speed. I'm already pretty much used to it because

808
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 6: we practice against you know, our OL line, who's who's

809
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 6: got great guys all around. So I think just being

810
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 6: able to know some of the NFL tendency is as

811
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 6: opposed to to college and things like that, and and

812
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 6: get a little better pre snap just just seeing the

813
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 6: indicators and things like that. And you know, obviously that

814
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 6: just comes with a lot of film studies, So I'm

815
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 6: ready for that.

816
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 5: Thoughts on the Eagles offense and going up against some

817
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,720
Speaker 5: of those guys like say Kuan and of course Jalen

818
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:50,919
Speaker 5: out of the backfield, who can run as well as throw.

819
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, obviously they're a great offense coach by the great coach,

820
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 6: and you know, for us to be able to come

821
00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 6: out here and compete with them, and and they were

822
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 6: physical and compete as well. And that's all you can

823
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 6: ask for.

824
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 5: All right, Labor Day weekends, coming, little holiday, a little downtime.

825
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 5: Have you got a chance to get around the city

826
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:11,760
Speaker 5: at all and see anything?

827
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 6: Not too much? No, I'll take some recommendations on that.

828
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 6: A lot of it's just been wake up, go to

829
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 6: the facility, go home and sleep.

830
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 5: So is there a favorite food?

831
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 6: Favorite food mine is pizza, So I gotta find a

832
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:23,879
Speaker 6: good pizza spot.

833
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 5: All right, we can help you with that. I've got

834
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,760
Speaker 5: plenty of those. And I hope you get some pizza

835
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 5: here in Philly. I'm assuming that's on the menu at

836
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 5: some point here hopefully.

837
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

838

847
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 3: look at some guys who have an opportunity to better

848
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 3: themselves on Saturday. Some position to watch, so much more

849
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:02,000

861
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 3: Brown's Radio Network. All right, grod, let's get some guys

862
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 3: here who you think have an opportunity to better themselves

863
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 3: on Saturday. We know it's going to be very similar

864
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 3: to last week's game in terms of, you know, the

865
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 3: ones got all the work during these joint practices, and

866
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 3: this is going to be, you know, a day for

867
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 3: the twos and the threes and guys fighting for roles

868
00:38:58,920 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 3: or to make this roster.

869
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,720
Speaker 4: I go to a running back room first and foremost,

870
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 4: I think about Amani Marshall, that great block that he

871
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 4: had in the game, the runs that he made. He

872
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 4: can certainly help his cause by continuing to run the

873
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 4: football with authority and just going out there and being

874
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 4: a ram and just battering guys. And I appreciate how

875
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 4: he runs. I'd say toa TUA as well. I like

876
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 4: the way he ran the football also. So I think

877
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 4: these guys can certainly help their cause by showing that, hey,

878
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 4: if we don't keep them, somebody else will be looking

879
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 4: to see that their running styles certainly fit the NFL

880
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 4: and how they effectively make contact and still get yards afterwards.

881
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mani Marshall eight carries thirty two yards to lead

882
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 3: the team in the game, and he was guy at

883
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 3: Applation State finished his career out five straight one hundred

884
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 3: yard games and showed physicality and showed him three have

885
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 3: only to bounce outside as well, and Toatawa. I'm with you,

886
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 3: five carries thirty yards to rush at sixteen yards. Guy

887
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 3: scored thirty three times at Nevada. You know, I with

888
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 3: obviously the Quinn Shawn Judkins news of earlier today. You know,

889
00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 3: these are guys that I think are competing to stay

890
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 3: in the program, to get to stay on the practice

891
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 3: squad for the Cleveland Browns some others. I mentioned him earlier,

892
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 3: Aiden Huntington, number sixty six in the opener. Guy had

893
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 3: the sack and six tackles, a tackle for a lost,

894
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 3: two quarterback hits. His tackles, six of them were tied

895
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,399
Speaker 3: for Carson with Carson Swetzinger for the team high. Four

896
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 3: of them on special team right number sixty six guys

897
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,359
Speaker 3: six one, two to eighty one out of Tulane's been

898
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 3: a defensive end. He's been a defensive tackle. He's a

899
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 3: guy that has played linebacker before. I think he's looked good.

900
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 3: I think Cam Thomas, who had a sack for the

901
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 3: Browns last year, the defensive number ninety nine, former third

902
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 3: round pick of the camp of the Arizona Cardinals back

903
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 3: in twenty two. You know, he had a great couple

904
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 3: of days at to join practices, and I think he's

905
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 3: somebody that absolutely can continue to help his cause. And

906
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:47,879
Speaker 3: then I'll give you another a receiver, Gauge Larvadan. We've

907
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 3: all liked him, Gerond, and then you're going to be

908
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 3: keeping an eye, I know on the secondary. I will

909
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 3: tell you what. Dom Jones, the rookie out of Colorado State,

910
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 3: had a nice pass defense to break up against Carolina

911
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 3: and was very good in this joint practice getting work

912
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 3: with the two. So still a lot of opportunities and

913
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 3: a lot of things that are unsettled that you know,

914
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 3: this game can can help clarify, certainly.

915
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 4: And saw Dom Jones in practice and and Berea and

916
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 4: was impressed with one. He has the size that you

917
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 4: look for in a cornerback in this day and age,

918
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 4: so he has that going for him. And also too,

919
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:21,799
Speaker 4: if you're running with the twos, you've already moved up

920
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 4: to depth chart, so go out there and play. He

921
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,720
Speaker 4: can certainly help himself on Saturday by having a solid

922
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 4: game because obviously they appreciate what he's doing in practice

923
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 4: with him running with the twos.

924
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 3: And at six two, you know, you think about the

925
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,280
Speaker 3: size the loss of m j Emerson six twenty sixty

926
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,399
Speaker 3: three that you needed one of those big guys. Dom

927
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,879
Speaker 3: Jones has been playing very well, and I really think

928
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 3: that cornerback room outside of Denzel and Brake Newsom is

929
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 3: wide open. Cam Mitchell, Miles Hart and Nick need him

930
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 3: competing for that slot role. You've got Tony Brown, Dom Jones,

931
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,720
Speaker 3: Chickanoosium and then they brought in Christian Holmes and Darius

932

Speaker 3: stock up, step up, give me a player through. Stock

952
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 3: is up after the opening preseason game.

953
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 4: It's a no brainer for on a defensive side of

954
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 4: ballwa with special team. I was across the board Aiden Huntington.

955
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 4: The guy was flat out ball and as you said earlier,

956
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 4: Nathan was one of the team leaders in tackles. And

957
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,720
Speaker 4: when you have a guy six foot one, two hundred

958
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 4: and eighty one pounds running down the football field, covering

959
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 4: kicks and making tackles and blowing up stuff, and then

960
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 4: has the audacity to go on the defensive side of

961
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 4: the ball and blow things up there as well, and

962
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 4: just making plays across the board, his stock is certainly up.

963
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 3: I'll go with Luke Whippler. I thought he looked great

964
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 3: in his return to action in the preseason opener.

965
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 4: Who's got a step up Gerrod? For me is Deontay.

966
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 4: You have Johnson. You have a great opportunity to make

967
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 4: some plays, to put yourself back in the spot to

968
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 4: where people are respecting what you do at the receiver position.

969
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 4: So step up, my man, and take advantage of a

970
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 4: great opportunity.

971
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just want a slock corner to step up.
