16
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: Dog are you? I'm good man? Obviously, you know disappointed

17
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: where we are with this season being over in terms

18
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: of playoff possibilities, but at the same time, you know,

19
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: an opportunity to go play a little bit of spoiler

20
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: go down into Washington, a team that has scenarios in

21
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: which they could clinch clinch the playoffs this week and

22
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: then scenarios in which they could be eliminated from the

23
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: playoffs this weekend. And as a player, drive when you're

24
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: in this situation, Obviously you weren't in it, certainly in

25
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 1: New England. But if you are in this situation, how

26
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: do you deal with it? What's the mindset? How do

27
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: you approach these final two games? I doubt what it

28
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: in New Orleans, believe me, Nathan, And it's really simple.

29
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: What you do. You go out there is say there

30
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: are thirty two teams that will be watching, some in

31
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: some capacity as they do their advanced scouting for who

32
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: they wanted to be involved their football team. And make

33
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: sure that every time I step on this football field,

34
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: I make my presence felt from alignment as Simons standpoint,

35
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: and just be a productive as well. So that's how

36
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: you have approach, especially when you're on a team that

37
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: has a losing record. Now there's some guys do their

38
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: contract situation. You know that they're part of this future

39
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: and they're the core and they're just simply gonna be here.

40
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,119
Speaker 1: But for those guys where there's a question mark where

41
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: your contract is kind of up in the air and

42
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: all the guaranteed money is gone. You hate to come

43
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: and bring it down to this because I think, Nathan,

44
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: you always played better when it's not just about your

45
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: contract but about the team trying to get somewhere, like

46
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: the playoffs and then the af C NC championship of

47
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. But oltimately now you have to think, let

48
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: me go out there and perform so I can have

49
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: some sense of longevity in the National Football League. Alright, Gerrarde,

50
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 1: You're exactly right. Good points there. The eye and the

51
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: sky don't lie. But let's go down to the podium

52
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: and here from Brown's quarterback Deshaun Watson. UM, my biggest

53
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: focus is just trying to you know, get acclimated to

54
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: you know, the organization, to how we run things from

55
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: this to you know, regular game weeks. Who on game day, Um,

56
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,399
Speaker 1: you know some so much of the weather I can't

57
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: really control. That's out of my control. So my main

58
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: focus is really just preparing myself to you know, get

59
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: ready and be the best I can be for us

60
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 1: to have a chance to win on Sundays. Who's trying

61
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: of asking you where you're gonna be. So how important

62
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: do you think that's gonna be And where might you

63
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:25,119
Speaker 1: got I'm not exactly sure exactly where we're gonna work out,

64
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: but we're definitely gonna get you know, time to you know,

65
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: get the I guess the timeming and everything that we

66
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: want for the next season, UM adjusted and well wrapped out,

67
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: and then for anybody else you know, I know it's

68
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of changes. That's how the NFL

69
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: roll certain season goes, especially in the off season. So

70
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: you know, after the season to talk with Kevin and

71
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: talk with a b and you know, try to give

72
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: a gas of who's going to be here and then

73
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: get everyone you know that especially offensively that can you know,

74
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: come out and you know, train with us and be

75
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: on the same page so we can get as much

76
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 1: as many reps as we can to catch up. I

77
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: feel like it's possible to end the season feeling is

78
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: comfortable because you were at the end of there's just

79
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: not enough games, you know, having whatever six games end

80
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: the season. Um, I mean, yeah, it's two opportunities for me,

81
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: um personally to be able to get as close as

82
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: I can to where I was before. But like I

83
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: mentioned before. You know, I don't want to be a

84
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: just where I was in. I want to be better

85
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: than that. So you know, each and every time you know,

86
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: I step on the field, it's my opportunity to get

87
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: beat as a quarterback. Learned something new situational Um, you know, conditionwise,

88
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: to you know, operational wise, to play calling, everything that

89
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: I can to be able to you know, give myself

90
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: you know, up to date. So when I sat back

91
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: on the field, um, you know in three that you know,

92
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: we don't have those problems anymore. Stuff you said, sorry,

93
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: said that everybody will feels when it starts for sure. Um,

94
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: is it hard to have that patience waiting for that

95
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: for that moment to have I have a lot of

96
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: patience to be honest, I've been waiting patients for two years,

97
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: So patience is not a problem for me. Uh you know.

98
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: So I just put my head down and just grind

99
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: and just work out and and just training as much

100
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: as I can to to make sure when that time coming,

101
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: that moment come, you know, we'll be ready to go.

102
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 1: And we need to talk about using this time to

103
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: get comfortable with the organization and how things off and

104
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: rad e off where is your comfortable. But right now,

105
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: how do you feel about just I guess the rhythm

106
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: of everything and how things are are fitting to get Um,

107
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: you know, I feel very comfortable. I don't have a

108
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: percentage or you know, uh a level of where I'm comfortable,

109
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: but I'm you know, pretty comfortable. I'm happy. Um, I'm

110
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: enjoying this process. I'm na joining the each and every day,

111
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: you know, getting to know everyone. I don't know everyone

112
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: in the building, so you know, I'm still getting, you know,

113
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: to know everyone and how things kind of operate, who

114
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: I need to talk to outside of football or within football.

115
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: So um, you know that that is just a process.

116
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: That's it's not just for now now. It's it's the

117
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: long run. And that's why you know, came to Cleveland.

118
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: It's not about right now. It's it's the wrong run.

119
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: So um, that's what I'm looking forward to. When you're

120
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: talking about the regens and conditions, how do you value rate?

121
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: Playing this fast second? It was good and I mean

122
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: we watched the tape um offensively, we did what we

123
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,799
Speaker 1: need to do. We had the opportunities to make plays

124
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: and you know, win the game, and we just didn't

125
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: capitalize on those. You know, I'm talking to the guys

126
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: on the game the ball right, obviously, I wonder just

127
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: a lot of your tools like lasers, did you have

128
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: that in your mind that your had to do that

129
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: to cut run? And also it is there balanced there

130
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: because also it's all for you guys to can it's

131
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: pretty I mean, yeah, you gotta have a balance. Um.

132
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: You know there's a couple of balls that you know,

133
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: throw one tomorrow that you know, I didn't put too

134
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: much velocity on it, but the wind caught it and

135
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: went over his head. Another one the DPJ on the

136
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: fourth down that kind of seiled over his head it

137
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 1: caught the wind. And then also you've seen early on

138
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: you know, the second player the game where I try

139
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: to throw a drag route the mr the wind called it,

140
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: and the same way DPJ. I'm like DPJ, David Chief

141
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: on the rollout on the root leg. You know, the

142
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: wind caught it and kind of float it up. So

143
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, you can't really control that.

144
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: You just gotta know on certain route, certain throws that

145
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: you gotta try to fire it in there where you can.

146
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: And sometimes if you can't catch the win at the

147
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: right time, then you can, you know, piss. Some talked

148
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: about food work this morning and about how important that's

149
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: going to be the last like a couple of weeks

150
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: ago seats. How do you feel like that's come along

151
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: that first came back against Houston? You still feel like

152
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: you to get back from back to the long one. Oh,

153
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: always have room to improve. Um, I'm never satisfied. I've

154
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: never comfortable and ever complacent. So uh for me, yeah,

155
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: I'm always continue to get my footwork. This is a

156
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: new system for me. You know, I was so used

157
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: to a different system back in Houston, where you know,

158
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: I kind of control my own footwork and depending on

159
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: timing and different things like now. But this system is

160
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: more you know, timing and rhythm, so I have to

161
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: get used to that. And you know, time being away,

162
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: I had to try to adjust him. When I came back,

163
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: some things shifted and moved. So I'm still getting comfortable

164
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: with that, still getting used to that. But um, you

165
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: know it's it's actually you know, getting better each and

166
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: every week. To showers have been hard to come by,

167
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: and the metigating circumstances the first and it's just coming

168
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: back the bad weather. So this is gonna be a

169
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: good weather day. You got the food team offense, but

170
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: you expect conection shows. I'm always expecting that. We don't

171
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: go into a game not thinking that very regardless of

172
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: the weather. You know, last week we thought that we

173
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: can put up howevery many points that we can. Um,

174
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: you know, once those opportunities come, we gotta take advantage

175
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: of that. But we can't force the issue. We gotta

176
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: do little things and make sure we have our opportunities

177
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: to get down there to put up points. So, um yeah,

178
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: this is an opportunity for us to be able to

179
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: continue to prove as an offense, as a whole and

180
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 1: as a team, to go out there, score points and

181
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: show what the Clubland Browns is about. The first game,

182
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: how do you like? It's thin getting I feel very

183
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: comfortable with it. Um. The progress is continue the grow

184
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: each and every each and every week. Um yeah. The

185
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: stats might not show it and it might not say

186
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: but you know, right now, this is like I said before,

187
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: this is not about any statistic or anything like that.

188
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: It's about me improving as a quarterback, getting back in

189
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: the rhythm, getting in the rhythm of this offense and

190
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: this in this team, and as far as my decision

191
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: making and and you know reads and throws and time

192
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: and everything like that. It's been getting better each and

193
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: every week. And so you know, my main focus is

194
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 1: listening to what you know, Kevin Drew a VP and

195
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: and the staff have to say, and what they feel

196
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: like I'm getting, you know, better at and not so

197
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: much of what the outside people are saying. They're one

198
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: of the Pacific area. You feel like you've made the

199
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: most progress over these these likes week. Just operationally, just

200
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: being able to operate in this system, um, not having

201
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: maybe probably one operational primity in four games as I

202
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: think me too, but that's really good. Um. And then

203
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: just being able to you know, control my footwork within

204
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: the system, and just being able to have opportunities to

205
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: make place was designer in the game. Uh, of course

206
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: it is increased. We'll see. I'm not sure I'll take

207
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: the opposite side of Christmas question. What bothers you the

208
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: most right now? Um? Of course, you know, offensively, as

209
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,599
Speaker 1: especially as a quarter of the offensive, we want to

210
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: score more points, so not just for me, but just

211
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: for the whole offense. You know, we want to spoke

212
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 1: points and put ourselves a position to you know, put

213
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: a game away and help our defense out, our special

214
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: teams out. And I know it's a you know, it's

215
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,719
Speaker 1: a team game and we have to compliment each other.

216
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: But you know, we can help ourselves offensively, and you know,

217
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: I take pride of that, um and I'll take full

218
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: control and responsibility of that. So, you know, just whatever

219
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: we need to do the figure out each and every

220
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: week going against a different you know, philosophy and a

221
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: different team and different different coordinator. You know, we've got

222
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: to find ways to put more points on the board.

223
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: You know, I'm quite obviously guys are kind of playing out.

224
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: What do you find out about teammates and in situations

225
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: like this, uh, you know pretty much who lost football,

226
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: you know. And then you know, I think everyone, especially

227
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: in this locker room, understand that you know, each and

228
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: every we've regardless if you're in the playoffs or not

229
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, is the opportunity for you to evaluate

230
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: yourself and for other teams to evaluate yourself because this

231
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: is a this is a business, so you never know,

232
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: regardless if you know you have this mediums in your country,

233
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: I don't, you know, every every game is an opportunity

234
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: for you to go out there and put film out

235
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 1: there for the NETS team or the NETS opponent or

236
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: the Nets whoever job opportunity you have. You know too,

237
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 1: I guess some proved and show that you take. You

238
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: bore playing in this league fighting for the playoff line

239
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: is when you watch that defense will make some show

240
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,080
Speaker 1: fantastically fighting. You can tell that they play together and

241
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: they understand that philosophy and what they want to do

242
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 1: on defense. Um. You know, it's of course starts up

243
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: front with all you know, five four or five of

244
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: those first rounders up front, and then you know the

245
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: trickers in to the lineback into the second area. They

246
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: play with confidence, um, and they know who they are.

247
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: So you know, we gotta go out there and we

248
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: can't you know, slack in any area. We gotta make

249
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: sure that we try to, you know, go out there

250
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: and win one on one matchups because you know, there's

251
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: no real witnesses in their defense, you know, so we

252
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: gotta go out there and we respect them and we

253
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: respect every player on that team. You can't just pay

254
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: attention to the stands. Is it tough adjustment coming to

255
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: a climate where maybe you have to look beyond the

256
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 1: stands because the numbers again look like they did for you. UM,

257
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: we can play their time play. Like I said, my

258
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: main focus is winning. I came to Cleveland and win

259
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. So by any means, if that's throwing

260
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: the ball five times and throwing the ball forty times

261
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: and scoring five touchdowns and scoring zero touchdowns, as long

262
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: as we win, that's all I really matter, and that's

263
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 1: all I really care about. So the stats and stuff

264
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: like that, I done that before. I've had opportunities before.

265
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 1: I led the league in passing before, UM squared a

266
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: lot of touchdowns, did Pro Bowls, all that stuff. So,

267
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 1: like I said, my ultimate goal is trying to get

268
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: that ring, and I'm gonna do whatever I can to

269
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: be able to try to have the opportunity taking off

270
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: that Nick shuck. Do you run the football? Is that

271
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: kind of something you expected maybe the stats to kind

272
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: of drop down because of the way you guys run

273
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: the ball because of kind of the office here, And

274
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: isn't more about kind of that balance than it doesn't

275
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: your stats? Uh? Like I said, I doubt Kevin is

276
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: going into each and every game plan thinking that, you know,

277
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: he's trying to get somebody's stats or anything like that

278
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: I said, the stats and all that stuff is for

279
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: the outside media and outside of people to fans to

280
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: talk about. But when you're going in each and every week,

281
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: you gotta adjust. You know, you've got certain teams that

282
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: take away the run game and want us to pass

283
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: and vice versa. So um, you know, you gotta go

284
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: into each and every week thinking that you're gonna have

285
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: opportunities and when those opportunities come, each person got to

286
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: take advantage of it. So you never know how those

287
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: stats are gonna, you know, shape up and shape out.

288
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: So you know, we haven't. Of course, it's a transition

289
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,599
Speaker 1: for me to coming in uh as a quarterback and

290
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: we do a little bit of different stuff than the

291
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: previous quarterback. So um, you know we all adjusted the

292
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: learning on the Flower game, what prepared you from losing

293
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: the ball? Where you know, the guy made a good play,

294
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: They had a great coverage, no one was open. Um,

295
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 1: I stepped up and ninety I think it was ninety

296
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: six made a good play. Like I mentioned before, you know,

297
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: I can't end the game with the ball in my hands,

298
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: but you gotta give the Saints credit. They made a

299
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: great play. He came in late and he made the bunt.

300
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: We just similar loss, Like you got, guys hand on Saturday,

301
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: Kevin ends up back on the hot seat and everybody

302
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: wants to run him out of town. So my question

303
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: to you, and because I know you mentioned last week

304
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: that you guys had a good meeting, how my question

305
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: to you is how important is it for you to

306
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: build on what you and Kevin started this year to

307
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: move forward together and you know, to continue on. Yeah,

308
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: it's very important to be able to build that the opportunity,

309
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: that trust and that you know, chemistry between each other.

310
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: You know, only had four games with each other. Uh,

311
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: you know a little bit off season, but you know,

312
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: we want to do that. But you know that hot

313
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: seat stuff and all that that's for you know, media

314
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: and talking and stuff like that. You know, Um, people

315
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: that made those decisions. Is it does the right thing

316
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: for this organization? Um? But we all trust Kevin, We

317
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: love Kevin, we support Kevin, we respect Kevin and everything

318
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: that hereby you know about you know, the Cleveland Browns

319
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: and so um, yeah, we're gonna continue to build that

320
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: trust and build that chemistry and look for the future.

321
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: All right. That's Deshaun Watson at the podium. Their gerade,

322
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: talking about a lot of things, the changes, and something

323
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: that stood out to me was talking about how different

324
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: the footwork is in this system. And so it's not

325
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: just reading defenses and that's just running plays that are new,

326
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: but it's marrying your feet to the system and the

327
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: way that they want it done. What stood out to

328
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: you about that press conference are from John Watson. Well,

329
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: I just love how he takes accountability for a leadership

330
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: in his football team, especially on the offensive side of

331
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: the ball. And it's telling like it is for some

332
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: of these guys. Just thirty two teams watching you and

333
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: we need to figure out who's gonna be here and

334
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: you can help yourself in that process. And then when

335
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: going through explaining what took place in the game, I

336
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: don't hear a guy shied away from the questions and

337
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: giving you what I call coach speaker player talk, but

338
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: answering the questions and telling you what he should tell you,

339
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: what you do need to know. And it sounds like

340
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: a stand up guy who's about getting better, who's about business. Yeah,

341
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: and he and he wants to get better. I mean

342
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: this has been the toughest stretch of his career. Two

343
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: of the two of his lowest. In fact, the two

344
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: lowest quarterback ratings of his career have been in this

345
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: four game stretch. Last week the lowest of his career

346
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: in Houston, now the second lowest of his career. He

347
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: has not thrown from multiple touchdowns in a single game

348
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: in the four games, which is the longest stretch of

349
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: his entire career. So clearly it's an adjustment, and you

350
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: know you're gonna get some better weather in Washington, and

351
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: you want him to be able to finish, I think

352
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: on a strong note this season because next year is

353
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: obviously where it's at. Right. You brought him here. You

354
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: didn't bring him here to make sure that we made

355
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: the playoffs in two. Of course you would have liked

356
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: to have done that, But what you brought him here

357
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: to do was be your franchise quarterback for years and

358
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: years and years in the first full season he's gonna

359
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: get chance to do that is next year, and it

360
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: wasn't this year. It came in after an eleven game suspension,

361
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: and and it's been There have been some struggles, but

362
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 1: I think there's been a lot of positives from his game.

363
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: And you're a guy who's playing in the league. You

364
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: know the eye tests. I mean, do you see the

365
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: things in him? While we haven't seen the full body

366
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: of work or the consistency, have you seen the flashes

367
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: drive that let you know he can be a special

368
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: quarterback instructure and out of structure. Oh, I certainly see it,

369
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: and I'm encouraged by it. I'm very impressed what I've seen,

370
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: considering on the top of that, the opponent as well

371
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 1: as weather conditions, and a lot of times when people

372
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: make these assessments and they just look at the numbers, Yeah,

373
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be blown away by any stretched imagination

374
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 1: with the numbers that you see for Deshaun Watson right now.

375
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: But when you think about the layoff and how long

376
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: that's been, when you think about the weather conditions, and

377
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: also we have the privilege and ability to watch the

378
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,959
Speaker 1: games up close during what we do for the organization,

379
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 1: and what I see from a sideline perspective is one

380
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: of guy leading and another thing a guy making plays

381
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,479
Speaker 1: and also seeing a situation where certain things you cannot

382
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: do it by yourself. If you put the ball in

383
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: the guy's hands and put them in a position to

384
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: succeed as a quarterback, You've done your job. Now it's

385
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: up to your teammate to do the next step, which

386
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: is catch the football. And if they're not doing that,

387
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 1: then that's the problem. But we know bad quarterback play

388
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: when we see it. And not to pick on the

389
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: guy that was here last season, but think about what

390
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 1: you saw with that. You saw a situation where below

391
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: average quarterback play cost you a chance to win football games.

392
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: You're not getting below average quarterback play, You're getting good

393
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: quarterback play. But then again, with football, it goes back

394
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 1: to what complementary football. The offense has to do his part,

395
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: the defense has to do his part. In special teams

396
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 1: has to do his part. And I've watched situations where

397
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 1: we're driving the football and then ultimately holding play here,

398
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: uh legal procedure, play there, or some other miss q

399
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: or mishap puts us in a situation where we're all scheduled,

400
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: and then when we're all scheduled, and this has been

401
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 1: a factor throughout the course of the season that we

402
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: don't respond well as a football team. But far as

403
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: what you said with all scheduled as and on schedule plays,

404
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: I'm very impressed with what I've seen. Deshaun Watson, and

405
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: you love the fact that the guy who's going to

406
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl, who's won all the accolades and been

407
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 1: in the conversations the top five quarterback, is showing guys, no, man,

408
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: you can never rest on your laurels. You have to

409
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: always pay the price and always have the mentality that, hey,

410
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: how do I get better? You're exactly right about that grade,

411
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you people made so much Oh why

412
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: the Brown Store at thirty one times? Eleven of our

413
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: past attempts in that game against the Saints came on

414
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: the final drive in unbelievably adverse conditions. So there was

415
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: twenty past attempts prior to that, it was eleven on

416
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: the final drive. And on that final drive, he drove

417
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: you down the field in a two minute drill situation,

418
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: made the plays that he needed to, and then put

419
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: the ball on guys twice in the end zone that

420
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: we're not able to make the catches, And so I

421
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: actually was encouraging Bernie. Bernie really pointed that out yesterday

422
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: on the show about what he thought he saw from

423
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson there and what he was able to do

424
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: in terms of that. Some updates as you get ready

425
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: for the Browns and the Commanders. This sent Sunday so funny.

426
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 1: We've had so many sat to Day games in a row.

427
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: It's like I forgot we play on Sundays. That's normal again.

428

429

433
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,239
Speaker 1: debut this season last week. You'd expect more there as

434
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 1: this is a monstrous game for the Commander's monstrous game

435
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,120

Speaker 1: proud partner of the Cleveland brown Nathan's girl Gerard Cherry

446
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 1: with you. We go around the NFL right now, drog

447
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans sitting everybody this game actually does not matter

448
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: for the Tennessee Titans. Regardless of what they do in

449
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: this game, their game in Week eighteen against the Jags

450
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 1: will determine the outcome of that division and who will

451
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: go to the playoffs. So what do you think about

452
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: the fact that they're sitting a lot of their starters

453
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball. Derrick Henry will be

454
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: out not great for my fantasy football championship. Mike Rabel

455
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 1: does not care about people's fantasy football championships, and that

456
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: Josh Dobbs is gonna get the start who is with

457
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: the Browns for this preseason and much of this season.

458
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: He's gonna get an opportunity to start a game against

459
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 1: the Cowboys on Thursday night. Oh, generally speaking, Nathan, I

460
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: don't like these scenarios unless you're in one in which

461
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: you're beat up as a football team, and then you

462
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: need that you figure based upon injuries and guys being

463
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: banged up. Okay, we need the rest, we need to

464
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 1: get guys recovered because obviously we're playing for all the

465
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 1: marbles and we're looking at this as a bye week

466
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: even though we've already had one. Then I can accept

467
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: it from that standpoint. So it sounds like that is

468
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: the approach. So that does make sense. But the idea

469
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: of taking two weeks off for a very hot football

470
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 1: team in the Jacksonville Jaguars doesn't sound greater an idea

471
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: to me as well, though, when you think about they'll

472
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: have more kind of play and they'll still be sharper,

473
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: while you'll be working back from basically a two week

474
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: layoff right in the game where you gotta be sharp.

475
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 1: Very interesting decision, I think from Mike Vrabel really to

476
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: sit down basically everybody. I understand, like Derrick Henry, you

477
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: on him as fresh as he can be for that game.

478
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: But a lot of their defensive studs are not gonna play.

479
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a very I think it's gonna

480
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: be a huge blowout on Thursday night, is what it

481
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: feels like. Is gonna happen there the NFL ratings jugg

482
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: or not, the average aitis on Christmas Day five times

483
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: large than the NBA's per sports Media Watch Packers Dolphins

484
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: twenty five point nine million, Broncos Rams twenty two point

485
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: five and then the nightcap Bucks Cardinals seventeen point one

486
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: five million, so clearly peaked early in the day. Buck Celtics.

487
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 1: Most of the NBA gave him a day six million.

488
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 1: And then how about this about your former teammate Tom Brady.

489
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: He has spent exactly half of his life in the NFL.

490
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: Twenty two years, eight months, thirteen days when he was

491
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: selected in the two thousand draft. Today is twenty two years,

492
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: eight months and thirteen days since he was drafted eight thousand,

493
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: two hundred ninety two days ago. Incredible. That is amazing.

494
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 1: And when you think about that, not as a coach now,

495
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: as a commentator, not as an executive, but as a

496
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: player and a quarterback on top of that, that is tremendous.

497
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: And that I wonder. I'm pretty sure it's a kicker

498
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: who holds the record for most longevity in the National

499
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 1: Football League, because that is but I think somebody may

500
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: have played like thirty years. So I don't think he's

501
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: even to that. But I want to say there's someone

502
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 1: for the Raiders, but the name escapes me. Blad Yeah,

503
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: maybe Blanda. Let's because he was a kicker, he was

504
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: a quarterback, and he played forever. Look, I'm googling it

505
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: right now. Ten players with the longest NFL careers or

506
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: any like. I'm counted down right now. Here's your top

Speaker 1: ten longest NFL careers. Let me see when this article

508
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,640

Speaker 1: Dawson three hundred and five games played Browns, Niners, Cardinals

Speaker 1: longest NFL career for a non special teams player three

516
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 1: hundred and eighteen games. I was at the beginning of

517
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: this year, so when I had fourteen nets and three

518
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,479
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty two games. Now for him. Jason Hanson,

519
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: the kicker for the Detroit Lions, three twenty seven games

520
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 1: all with the Lions twenty years nine two to two

521
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: thousand and twelve. George Blanda, So it's a good guest

522
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: by s. He comes in at number five, three hundred

523
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: and forty games, played a career that spanned four decades,

524
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: the forties, the fifties, the sixties, and the seventies. Just

525
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: that's insane. Yeah, that's crazy. Jeff Fiagels, the punter for

526
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: the Giant, Seahawks, Cardinals, Eagles, and Patriots nineteen eighty eight

527
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 1: to two thousand and nine, twenty one years, three fifty

528
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: two games. Gary Anderson kicker for the Steelers, Vikings, Eagles,

529
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,719
Speaker 1: Titans and Niners eighty two to two thousand four, twenty

530
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: two years, three hundred fifty three York former teammate Adam

531
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: Vinya Terry. He was three hundred sixty five games n

532
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,959
Speaker 1: six to two thousand and nineteen with the Patriots and

533
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: the Colts, So twenty three years there and then the

534
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: record is Morton Anderson. Morton Anderson the kicker. Good one

535
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: by Gibbe there for the Saints, Falcons, Chiefs, Vikings, Giants

536
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty two to two thousand and seven so twenty

537
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: five year career Bland is the only one, though it

538
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: appears is the only one in four decades, because forty

539
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: started in forty nine ended in seventy. See, that's what

540
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,199
Speaker 1: I'm told about years, not actual games, because obviously I

541
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: used to play twelve games. So if you put the

542
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: time that when it went to a sixteen game or

543
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 1: twenty six years, I'm sorry, twenty six years would be. Yeah.

544
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: I think that's the longest because Vin Terry was three,

545
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: Morton Anderson was twenty five. It's that's incredible, incredible stuff there.

546
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: But Tom Brady longest non special teams player in the NFL.

547
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: I mean they were like, there are people who played

548
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 1: in the NFL long enough for like their kids to

549
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,479
Speaker 1: be born, go to college, graduate from college, get their

550
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: first job for a few years. That is wild man.

551
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: Jerry Rice. It's funny though, the two longest non special

552
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 1: teams players are like the goats, right, Jerry Rice and

553
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: Tom Brady in work extremely hard. So when you guys think, Okay,

554
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: I just gotta go out there and do my job, well,

555
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: if you want greatness like that, and if you wouldn't

556
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: be considered a goat, the greatest of all time. You

557
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: have to do more in your job. You really have

558
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: to dedicate your body, mind and soul to the idea

559
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: what football represents, and that's giving your all. Those guys

560
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: I worked with Jerry Rice and the off season prior

561
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: to going to the NFL, I was at that hill

562
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 1: and running that hill, and I knew that hill was

563
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 1: a beast. And here's the thing that was so impressive

564
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: about Jerry Rice Nathan was that the season would be

565
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: three weeks to a month over for the NFL, and

566
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: you got to us out there training for the combine,

567
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: getting ready for all that. Jerry Rice was out on

568
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: the football field somewhere in power out. Don't even remember

569
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: the college we worked out at and training a month

570
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: removed from a season, if not shorter, running routes on air,

571
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: working out, running, getting himself in shape. So he constantly

572
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,719
Speaker 1: stayed in shape. And that taught me that there's no

573
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: you don't have a reason to say I need a break.

574
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 1: This guy lasted for twenty play years now. Watched him

575
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: in a Denver Broncos uniform was the most foreign thing

576
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 1: I've ever seen in my life. In the Seattle situation

577
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: wasn't that great either, And the Raiders. That looked actually

578
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: kind of apropos but what that be said? Yeah, man,

579
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: when you put that type of work and in heck

580
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 1: t O allegedly might have a chance to come back

581
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. Nothing is going on. Nothing. He's like,

582
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: they're offering me enough money. No ridiculous. By the way,

583
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: is there is the fact that at forty years old,

584
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: Jerry Rice with the Raiders went to a Pro Bowl

585
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 1: and put up twelve hundred and eleven yards and seven

586
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: touchdowns at the age of forty. Is that one of

587
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: the cre that's is that one of the craziest things.

588
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: It just feels like that's to be forty in the

589
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: NFL at a wide receiver and put up a thousand

590
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: yards over a thousand yards and twelve touch and he

591
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: went to the Pro Bowl. Guys, he had ninety two catches,

592
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: twelve hundred eleven yards and seven touchdowns at the age

593
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: of forty. Sixteen games. Yeah, so he didn't miss the

594
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: game either, No, he didn't really miss games nine. Dedicate

595
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: to the process. Man, You'll never hear miss Jerry Rice.

596
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: And even if Jerry Rice played in this day and

597
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: age where it's not frowned upon to um miss games

598
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: due to whatever elment you may have. I still wouldn't

599
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: see him missing the game because he was that dedicated.

600
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: So Jerry Rice goes in nineteen eighty five sixteen games,

601
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: nineteen six sixteen games, nineteen seven twelve, but I believe

602
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: that's a strike. That is a stree twelve. So he

603
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: didn't miss a game there either. By the way, he

604
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: had twenty two touchdowns in twelve games that year, No

605
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: big deal. Sixteen games in eighty eight, sixteen games in

606
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: eighty nine, sixteen games in ninety sixteen games in ninety

607
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: one sixteen, and ninety two sixteen, and ninety three sixteen

608
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: and ninety four sixteen and ninety five sixteen and ninety

609
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: six got hurt ninety seven, only played two games then

610
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: sixteen nine sixteen and ninety nine sixteen and two thousand sixteen,

611
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,959
Speaker 1: in two thousand one sixteen and two thousand two sixteen

612
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: and two thousand and three. Yeah, well, I can say

613
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: only gave up a five yard out to him. I

614
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: covered him when I was playing Nickelins. That's good. That's

615
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: a nice thing to be able to say. He led

616
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: the league. He led the league and receiving six different

617
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: times led the league and receiving touchdowns six different times,

618
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: led the league in yards per games six different times.

619
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: He was one, two, three, five, six, seven, eight, nine,

620
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: ten time first team All Pro out of eleven years,

621
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: made the Pro Bowl all eleven of those years, and

622
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: then ultimately thirteen Pro Bowls, eleven first time All pros,

623
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: eleven flat out beasts. You guys quickly want to hear

624
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: the story about the one of my murmur Will plays

625
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: on Jerry Rice. All right, so we're playing in New Orleans.

626
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: What does he do? Steve Young is the quarterback for them,

627
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: and I'm playing inside leverage is one is covered one,

628
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,479
Speaker 1: and I mean I'm tight on him, tight, tight on him.

629
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: He does a quick out. I literally pick him up.

630
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: And this is in the day and age when you

631
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,239
Speaker 1: could buy Slamma, dude, did not go to jail for it.

632
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: Ye pick him up barely out of sideline and body

633
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: slam them backwards like suit flex, like I'm in the

634
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: w W F E whatever, n W A old school

635
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: heck a w if you really want to go old school?

636
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: And bam, he gets uping, doesn't say a word, And

637
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: I was like, because I was, I mean, really trying

638
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: to hurt someone, but you're trying to leave a message.

639
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: And then the next play I must have made him

640
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: mad because they flipped the reverse to him. He might

641
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: have ran like thirty yards. Okay, all right, that's what

642
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: you want to do, how you want to do, Mr Cherry.

643
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: It was it was a it was a blessing to

644
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: train with him, and then I have actually have the

645
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: opportunity to say I played against the best and held

646
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: my own as well because there was other place to

647
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: where the coverage was good to whether they're like, okay,

648
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: we're not even gonna throw it that way. And I

649
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: always tell people that Jerry was just repeatable success, repeatble success,

650
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: and he worked so hard at it. He was truly

651
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: a student of the game. Yes he was, and a

652
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: darned good student by the way. I love the game

653
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: Jerry Rice. I mean, he had his second season in

654
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: the league fifteen seventy and fifteen touchdowns, third season one thousand,

655
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: seventy eight and twenty two, then thirteen o six and

656
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: nine three, and seventeen fifteen, two and thirteen. This is

657
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: when people didn't do that, Like people didn't put up

658
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: those kind of numbers. That's other parts crazy, like slants

684
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: right day? Yes, sir, I remember I was in an

685
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: airport in Chi Cargo trying to fly my way back

686
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: to Springfield, Illinois, and it was one of those nine

687
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: things had to happen for the Browns to get into

688
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and and then you still had to win

689
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 1: the game. And literally it all happened and I lost

690
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: my you know what in the middle of Midway airport

691
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: at a bar. Well, how could you not listen to

692
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: this take? Listen to Jim Donovan and Doug Deacon on

693
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 1: the Browns Radio Network. On second down, they give it

694
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 1: the green Green stutter stippeas through first out forty fifty

695
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: forty run, William run fifty ted five touchdown. We've been

696
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: waiting for it to break the big one, but he

697
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: saved it for the right time. Sixty four yards and

698
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: the rookie from Boston College. He was an inch away

699
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: from busting one all day John and he just did it.

700
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: Awesome run, William run. I couldn't. I was literally I

701
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: had like a two and a half hour lay over

702
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: the air sports pack because everybody's flying home from the holidays.

703
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: And you know, I meant that they used to have

704
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 1: like the Fox Sports bars. There's eight games on, but

705
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 1: they've got the Browns one on and it's the only

706
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: one the Bears ones people were interested in because the

707
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: Bears were pretty good that year. Um and they ended

708
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,439
Speaker 1: up going to the playoffs that year, I believe, And

709
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 1: I'm I decked head to head to toe in Brown's gear,

710
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 1: just screaming. I went to the playoffs and screwed the

711
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: pooch against the Squealers. So we went. But that's one

712
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 1: of the biggest moments since the team came back, that run.

713
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, without without any question at all. Now, it's

714
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,919
Speaker 1: funny to me, you said it. It doesn't even sound

715
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: like Donovan not. I mean it does, but not. His

716
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 1: voice is is obviously very different today. Yes, it sounds

717
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 1: more mature today. It's right, like a fine wine. Like

718
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 1: a fine wine, it has aged very very well, all right,

719
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,120

Speaker 1: And I will get to those here in just a second.

724
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: Can I go back to the fact that somehow twenty

725
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 1: two point five million people watched that pig slop on

726
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: Christmas Day between the Broncos and did not turn off

727
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: turn it off when it was trying to. They were

728
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: trying to ruin my whole fantasy season. They ruined for

729
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 1: Justin Costanzo's fantasy season. Yeah, I didn't want to. I

730
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: mean that game was awful. There was at no point

731
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 1: was it even good. No, awful. And yet I mean

732
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,879
Speaker 1: it drew four times the number of an NBA game,

733
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: which is really wild. No, I like to know, like

734
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: for the NBA doing a championship, the numbers have to

735
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: be in the twenties in right, No, No, nothing gets

736
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: up there. It's up for a football Yeah. So you

00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,400

00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: but you know what, it goes back to the difference

767
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 1: seventeen games, every game, like every week matters, right, But

768
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: his point is also it's outdoing and it does that

769
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 1: out does the championship games, which is wild and baseball

770
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:23,399
Speaker 1: is probably half of that number for a basketball Yeah. Yeah, yeah,

771
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: it's it's pretty crazy, all right, little mail bag. We'll

772
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 1: sprinkle these in throughout the show. You can tweet at

773
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,760
Speaker 1: the show at Brown's Underscore Daily using the hashtag ask

774
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:40,439
Speaker 1: c B d uh I love a dog today? Good

775
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: good Twitter handle. Are there any late season pickups or

776
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 1: maybe players that didn't have the biggest role that have

777
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 1: worked their way into next year's plans? Any I'll tweak

778
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: it a little bit. Anybody that you want to see

779
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: a little bit more of here, maybe in these last

780
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 1: two games. Yeah, I would say that, you know, on

781
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:01,439
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball, you know, your draft picks,

782
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 1: so we won't count them. But people that have come

783
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: to the team, you know, I think Chase Winovich when

784
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 1: he's been healthy, which has not been often, but has

785
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:08,439
Speaker 1: made a little bit of an impact since he's come back,

786
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: Dion Jones, Reggie Raglan, these are guys that you know,

787
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 1: could they stay in the system next year? Um, that's

788
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: really I'd like to see more of de Anthony Bell.

789
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: Does he have a future actually on this roster other

790
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 1: than special teams? You know, it feels like Ronnie's time

791
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: maybe coming to an end here, So he's somebody that

792
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind seeing more of. And then offensively, the

793
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 1: guy that I want to see more of is droome

794
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: Ford because it's likely that Kareem Hunt will be playing

795
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 1: for a different team next year. Uh, dearness Johnson could

796
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: be as well. Is droome Ford ready to be your

797
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: number two running back? And he showed a lot of

798
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,720
Speaker 1: flashes there in the preseason. Anybody you want to see

799
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, heck yeah, I want to see more Reggie

800
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 1: Reggie and the reason why I want to see more

801
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: Reggie Raglan has simply put the body size and what

802
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: he represents. I think moving forward, you're gonna have to

803
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: have that type of physical presence in the middle of

804
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: defense in order for teams to say, you know what,

805
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: We're not gonna necessarily try to pound the ball down.

806
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: You guys throw every chance we get. So I want

807
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 1: to see guy like him. I want to see Jones

808
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 1: as well and that what do you have with that?

809
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 1: Obviously you have j Ok coming back, you have Phillips

810
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: coming back as well, But I do think you need

811
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 1: more girth than experience in that spot in particular, just

812
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 1: to sure things up because you did have a tremendous

813
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: youth movement and obviously it had a difficulties throughout the

814
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: course of the season. And in offensively speaking, I just

815
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 1: want to see de Shan Watson at this point pass

816
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 1: pass past, get reacclimated to playing football at higher level. Agreed,

817
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: Let's see at a K underscore man forty two, one

818
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 1: of our favorite UH follows or one of the guys

819
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: who follows us who we like. Uh. I hit the

820
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: gym every day six five to seventy five, No big deal. Geez,

821
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: I think I'm the only guy in the gym without

822
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: a tattoo, let alone. Several you fellas are about the

823
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,399
Speaker 1: same age as me. Got me wondering if you have

824
00:41:52,560 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 1: much of any tattoos. Yes, I do not, I do not. Nope. See, uh,

825
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: let's see, Howard s. Where are you guys going to

826
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: go to relax after the season. You deserve a good vacation.

827
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 1: Thanks for all the positivity. Yeah, I'm gonna be either

828
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,399
Speaker 1: in Florida. We will be definitely for Arizona, but yes,

829
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 1: somewhere somewhere warmer than here. Where do you got, Gerard?

830
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:27,439
Speaker 1: Far as my world travels, let me see, I'll start

831
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 1: off in Arizona, then I'll work my way probably to Thailand,

832
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: and then from Thailand I worked my way back to

833
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 1: the States, and at some point I need to go

834
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 1: to Central or South America, and probably the extent of

835
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: me going international. Okay, I was going to Florida, and uh,

836
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: you clearly blew that one out of the over. I

837
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: got Mexico coming up in in April, but other than

838
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 1: that all domestic. Okay, So you mentioned Thailand. Is that

839
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 1: the orphanage that you hope us that's awesome. For those

840
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 1: who don't know, Gerard, if I'm speaking out of turn,

841
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: let me know. But you took one of your Super

842
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 1: Bowl rings and auctioned it off with the money going

843
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 1: to that orphanage. Might correct on that, correct, it's awesome. Correct.

844
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 1: So I haven't been in about four years now, believe,

845
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: so it's about time to go. And amazing experience because

846
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 1: when I went there the first time, guys, it was

847
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 1: just incredible. I literally, I mean it will bring you

848
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: to tears. I went there, met two young ladies who

849
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 1: were initially the people who were staying there. Both of

850
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 1: them are now graduating from college, have jobs as professionals.

851
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 1: And to see them as grown women working and knowing

852
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: that they were saved from drug trafficking and sex slavers

853
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 1: and things of that nature, and what they are now

854
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 1: and what they've had an opportunity to do because of

855
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 1: that donation, it's just tremendous experience. To say the least.

856
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: That's awesome, man, that's really that is. That's awesome, and

857
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 1: it's I'm sure, as you said, very rewarding, and you're

858
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: doing a lot of good stuff. That's awesome, Brabo. What

859
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:07,359
Speaker 1: one more question here? Okay, from Meckling. He'll fire off

860
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 1: about forty more here before the end of the show.

861
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 1: Gerarde he gives us a whole book of questions every week.

862
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: What's the worst drink someone can order at a bar,

863
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:24,240
Speaker 1: the worst drink that somebody could order the bar, Gerade anything.

864
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 1: I don't know, there's just the worst drink. I mean,

865
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of of I'm not a fan

866
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 1: of club soda than drinks because there isn't there's no

867
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 1: sweetness in it. So anything I would be like, like,

868
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 1: what's the what's the context? Like if we're just at

869
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 1: a normal bo if we're in a normal bar and

870
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 1: somebody's ordering like a rum runner or like a may

871
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: tie or some type of a rum punch drink, I

872
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: would probably be like, huh, a white Russian because I

873
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: feel like it's no longer big Lebowski's main era. But

874
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: just saying anything like milk, a milk or a creamy

875
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 1: drink is gross to me. I think any milk products

876
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 1: probably in an establishment. Yeah, I'm not sure what the

877
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,280
Speaker 1: quality of that milk is. I don't think you should

878
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:13,359
Speaker 1: probably put on any of that date. Yeah, yeah, that's

879
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 1: probably that would be probably my answers something like but

880
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 1: but if you're in you know, in the tropics and

881
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:20,879
Speaker 1: you want to get a mine or something, then yeah,

882
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 1: do whatever you want. Give me every drink with an

883
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 1: umbrella around the hatch. Let's go. All right, We'll get

884
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: back to a few more questions as we go throughout

885
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:35,879
Speaker 1: the show. Beautiful, beautiful, all right. Our number two, we're

886

Speaker 1: and the Commanders. We're gonna kick it off with Brown's

Speaker 1: any size office called two thousand or Ohio Business Machines

896
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 1: dot Com. Today back Clean Brown's Daily brought to you

897
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: by Bally Beck, Coming soon to Ohio. We had the

898
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 1: podium now here from Brown's offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt.

899
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 1: So what did you see uh in in the shawn

900
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: in this past game and the horrendous conditions. Yeah, I

901
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 1: think the biggest takeaway was the fact that he still

902
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 1: had the ability to throw it accurately, um, when it

903
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: mattered the most, you know, in the bad conditions. You know,

904
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 1: made some really key throws on that last drive. You know.

905
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 1: Unfortunately we had a chance to get it in the

906
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 1: end zone to tie it up it but didn't. But

907
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 1: that's encouraging. Um. Probably the worst whether I've been around,

908
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: been colder games, but not with the wind blowing as

909
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 1: hard as it was. A really tough conditions, you know,

910
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: going both ways really um. You know, we took some

911
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 1: shot down the field that I would like to see

912
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 1: those balls had not been really windy, you know. I

913
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:07,319
Speaker 1: think we had some opportunities for some big plays had not. Uh.

914
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:09,399
Speaker 1: You know, some of those down the field throws coming

915
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 1: away from the dog Pound kind of carried a little

916
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: bit for two if you had if Dave or I

917
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: think that's when we were we were heading. I know

918
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 1: we had talked about it prior to that drive. Be

919
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 1: ready for a two point play here to to end it.

920
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: You know, it's supposed to be pretty nice conditions Landover

921
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: on Sunday. This is gonna be Sean's fifth game back.

922
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 1: Is it time to this offense then maybe get to

923
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,800
Speaker 1: another level like one touchdown the game? You know, obviously

924
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 1: it's going to be being a hard time beating most teams.

925
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:40,800
Speaker 1: Do you want to see if this offense take another step?

926
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 1: You know, I do think so. I think we're ready

927
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 1: for that. Um, we just need to see continued improvement,

928
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: you know. I think if we can put the ball

929
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:51,280
Speaker 1: in the end zone, would all be a lot happier. Um,

930
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 1: it's a really good defense we're playing, especially up front,

931
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: you know, so our challenges are there, but yeah, we

932
00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 1: we should definitely see more productivity out us, especially as

933
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 1: we get down on the red zone. We haven't scored

934
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:07,919
Speaker 1: when we've gotten down there like we should. Like when

935
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 1: it comes to throwing it or running it, if he's

936
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 1: outside the pocket right the plays where he's kind of

937
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:15,879
Speaker 1: you know, extending to play and it looks like there's

938
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 1: a chance to run, but it feels like he's throwing

939
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 1: it maybe more than he's running. Like, how do you

940
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:22,360
Speaker 1: guys deal with it? Yeah? I mean you always you

941
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:23,800
Speaker 1: always want to extend to play as long as you

942
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 1: can and make the defender choose one or the other.

943
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 1: Probably talking about the play to Donovan where he had

944
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 1: a chance to run it. Um, you know, you know

945
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 1: he's the first thing he said, I should have played

946
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 1: that longer, played you know, and impressed it more. Um.

947
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 1: Those are things we talked about. That wasn't the design

948
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 1: QB run. It was you know, a keeper. Um, you

949
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,479
Speaker 1: know where Donovan is the first read, but no situations. Again,

950
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,399
Speaker 1: it's just playing experience and doing it more and more

951
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: and more and having a feel for Hey, we gotta

952
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: keep pressing and make that defender choose one or the

953
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 1: other and then do the opposite designed QB runs like,

954
00:48:57,680 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 1: is there a sweet spot where we don't you know,

955
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:01,359
Speaker 1: is a team you don't want to run it more

956
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 1: than whatever X number of plays? Um, because it feels

957
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 1: like he's got that ability where you could, well that's

958
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 1: a big time threat. Yeah, I mean I think that, Uh,

959
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 1: you know, you could see a lot more QB runs design,

960
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 1: But again, you're taking it out of Nick Chubb's hands,

961
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,399
Speaker 1: cream hants hands. I don't think that's a necessity. Other

962
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 1: teams may rely more on the QB run when they

963
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 1: don't have the strong runners as we do. So I

964
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 1: think it's a finding that mix of what gives us

965
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 1: the best of both worlds. Um. You know, you don't

966
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 1: want to take touches away from Nick and Kaream. At

967
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 1: the same time, you don't want to have the defense um,

968
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 1: you know, not playing the whole field, so they have

969
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 1: to be responsible for the quarterback as well. Um, and

970
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 1: it's our job by finding that happy medium and somewhere

971
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 1: in between. Alex. Two weeks left. I guess what are

972
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 1: some of the most important steps for for the Shawn

973
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 1: to take during this time? I just could continue to

974
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 1: own the system and understand um operation and now the huddle,

975
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:57,840
Speaker 1: play calling, the footwork improvements each week, UM, you know,

976
00:49:57,880 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 1: those those are the biggest steps, just to continue to

977
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 1: improve in those areas. You know, the accuracies there. You're

978
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 1: starting to see that come back. Um. His ability to

979
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,360
Speaker 1: make plays on the move, as you know, is back.

980
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 1: So really it's just a matter of just really fine

981
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:15,399
Speaker 1: tuning footwork, operation, all the things that come with quarterback player.

982
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:22,399
Speaker 1: What makes it so Uh, there four first rounders up front,

983
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 1: and I think the skill, the talent, um, they're all

984
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:29,320
Speaker 1: good players. They're big bodies, they're powerful, physical Uh, with twitch,

985
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 1: So it's a good combination. They've obviously built that team

986
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:33,959
Speaker 1: through that defensive line on that side of the ball,

987
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:36,919
Speaker 1: and um, you know they're they're playing at extremely high level,

988
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 1: you know, finding his way. But you know, I haven't

989
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 1: played against him before. Obviously he's a dangerous player and

990
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 1: we'll probably get more play in time and improve his

991
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:51,799
Speaker 1: play style as he goes. But um, yeah, really good

992
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:54,279
Speaker 1: challenge for us up front. Those guys are you know,

993
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: as good as a good The two inside players are

994
00:50:56,200 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: as good as there are in the league defensive tackle, um,

995
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 1: and the edge players are exceptional as well. So big

996
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 1: challenge up front for our line. With Jack signing his extension,

997
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 1: he got him locked up, He got Wyatt, Joel, you

998
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 1: know Jed of course stall on that rookie deal. How

999
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:12,799
Speaker 1: important is it to have that stability on the line.

1000
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:15,319
Speaker 1: It's huge, Uh it is. It's just to have the

1001
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:17,800
Speaker 1: same guys working together and you know the same coaches

1002
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,839
Speaker 1: and the calls, Um, they just get better each year. UM.

1003
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 1: So to have Jack locked in, guy who just really

1004
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,319
Speaker 1: deserves every bit of that. Um. The work he put

1005
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,320
Speaker 1: in after the injury last year to come back and

1006
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 1: and uh, you know to be a really good right

1007
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 1: tackle for us. Is it's it's an attribute to him,

1008
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 1: and really happy that we got him locked up for

1009
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 1: a while and in the middle with Ethan. You know,

1010
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:40,359
Speaker 1: he wasn't slated to start, but it's been really good

1011
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:42,799
Speaker 1: for you guys. But what a great job he's done,

1012
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,360
Speaker 1: really stepping in when Nick got hurt right away and

1013
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: never really missed a beat with him his you know,

1014
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 1: a great job of the guys upstairs getting him into

1015
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 1: the building for him to be resigned, I would think

1016
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:56,759
Speaker 1: we would I mean I wouldn't make those decisions, but

1017
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything in his play this year

1018
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:00,799
Speaker 1: that we would say we wouldn't want to see him

1019
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 1: again next year. This say is you've Watchington's one in

1020
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 1: the league in time of possession and you guys are

1021
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 1: number two. Um, do is that something you guys think about,

1022
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 1: like before going into games? We really want to um,

1023
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:15,360
Speaker 1: you know, possessive offers as long as possible. Yeah, it

1024
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:19,320
Speaker 1: kind of happens organically when you talk about staying positive

1025
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 1: on first and second down, giving yourself manageable third downs,

1026
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:24,840
Speaker 1: and then converting on third down. UM, that kind of

1027
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 1: falls into extended drives. Um in time of possession. You know. UM,

1028
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:31,239
Speaker 1: we don't say, hey, we need to win time of

1029
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 1: possession this week. We say we need to you know,

1030
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: be manageable on third down and convert on third down,

1031
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 1: and that will give you the time of possession. So

1032
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:40,719
Speaker 1: I guess we go around about way of getting to that.

1033
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,279
Speaker 1: But yes, we do emphasize those other areas that get

1034
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:45,960
Speaker 1: you to a winning time of possession, knowing that they

1035
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 1: tend to possess it. Does that make each one of

1036
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:51,840
Speaker 1: your possessions this week more valuable? I guess absolutely. You know,

1037
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 1: every every drive for us is a valuable drive. We

1038
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:57,239
Speaker 1: want end of the end zone. And again that's being

1039
00:52:57,239 --> 00:52:59,719
Speaker 1: good on first and second, converting on third and then

1040
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:02,800
Speaker 1: pun and once we get down inside the red zone. Alright,

1041
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:06,760
Speaker 1: that's Brown's offensive coordinator, Alex van Pelt. It's the Brown's offense,

1042
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 1: the Commander's defense. It's been a good defense. They can

1043
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:11,040
Speaker 1: get after the quarterback. They got three guys with seven

1044
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:12,759
Speaker 1: or more sacks, one of only two teams in the

1045
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 1: league there. I have twelve games with twenty four or

1046
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 1: fewer points allowed. Second in the NFL, they give just

1047
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 1: seventeen first downs the game. Second in the NFL. This

1048
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 1: is a good team and it starts up front with

1049
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 1: those guys I mentioned the four first rounders, Chase Young

1050
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 1: back along with Rohn Payne, Jonathan Allen, Montes, Sweat Gerard.

1051
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 1: What do the Browns need to do on offense to

1052
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:35,160
Speaker 1: get the job done against this very very good defense

1053
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:38,759
Speaker 1: of the Washington Commanders. It's really simple. You have to

1054
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 1: attack what is their strength and in the process of

1055
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:43,720
Speaker 1: doing that, dominate them. And you do that by running

1056
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 1: the football. Now, I'm one of the presidents of mine

1057
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 1: that we're gonna pass when opportunity presents itself. But you

1058
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:51,440
Speaker 1: really have to send a physical message to this football

1059
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 1: team and tell them the following three your actions and

1060
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,399
Speaker 1: how you play that it's going to be physical. We're

1061
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 1: going to attack you and we're not gonna sit back

1062
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 1: and be attacked. Because they have obviously put a lot

1063
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 1: of draft capital and resources into that defensive line and

1064
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 1: they're figuring that's the strength of their defense, and it

1065
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 1: should always be the strength of your defense in the trenches.

1066
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:12,440
Speaker 1: So certainly, if you can go to them, beat them up,

1067
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:14,799
Speaker 1: push them around, and send the message. And the best

1068
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 1: way to do that is through running the football. Ultimately,

1069
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 1: and then you use the pass as a compliment to

1070
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:22,840
Speaker 1: making plays and just playing it from that standpoint. But ultimately,

1071
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 1: I think with this defense, you have to let them

1072
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:26,839
Speaker 1: know that you won't be bullied around and you're gonna

1073
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 1: be the bully as opposed to being bullied. You gotta

1074
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:31,960
Speaker 1: be the bully, and that'll be tough. There. Guys on

1075
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:34,960
Speaker 1: the interior Alan and paying sixteen tackles for loss each.

1076
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:38,240
Speaker 1: That is first among all interior defensive lineman, third overall

1077
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:40,280
Speaker 1: in the league. The Brown's gotta get Nick Chubb going.

1078
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 1: It's been a four straight games with under a hundred

1079
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:44,720
Speaker 1: yards and no touchdown for Nick Chubb. That's the longest

1080
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:47,799
Speaker 1: such shriek of his career. What's the matchup you're gonna

1081
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 1: be watching the most here in this game? Really, I'm

1082
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:53,879
Speaker 1: gonna from an offensive versus our defense. I really want

1083
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:56,360
Speaker 1: to see how posted because I'm of opinion that the

1084
00:54:56,400 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 1: guy is all Star caliber and that he's a pro bowler,

1085
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 1: and I hope we can bring him back, but I

1086
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 1: really want to see what he does against against allan

1087
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 1: against pain, because you can make the argument that those

1088
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:10,799
Speaker 1: two guys right now are the heart and soul of

1089
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 1: that defense and from a production standpoint, they're put up

1090
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 1: a greater numbers. Understand that Chase Young has been out

1091
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 1: due to injury for majority of season, so you put

1092
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:20,759
Speaker 1: that Take that for what it's worth. But if you

1093
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: can have a situation where posted and then you have

1094
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 1: a Tonio and tell her who I believe is our

1095
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:29,760
Speaker 1: strength on the offensive line. If they're dominating, I'm watching

1096
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:31,719
Speaker 1: that because I think that's gonna have play a huge

1097
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:35,400
Speaker 1: dividends to outcome with this football game. Yeah, the interior

1098
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:38,279
Speaker 1: of our offensive line against the interior of their defensive line.

1099
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:39,759
Speaker 1: And then I think on the back and can we

1100
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 1: how can our receivers how do they do against the

1101
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 1: secondary that's been okay, it hasn't been great. Kendall fuller,

1102
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 1: Benjamin st. Juice, who has had a nice season, a

1103
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 1: third year player, was the third round pick last year

1104
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:54,359
Speaker 1: for them out of Minnesota, second year player, How can

1105
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 1: we do that? And can I I do think that

1106
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 1: we can take advantage of their linebackers and coverage. David Mayo,

1107
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 1: Jam and Davis will see the Browns ravel dead. But

1108
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:02,320
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be about do you have you

1109
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:05,280
Speaker 1: want to throw the ball? Absolutely? Do you have time

1110
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 1: Jed Wills against Chase Young, you know, and Montes Sweat.

1111
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:11,960
Speaker 1: That's that's gonna be a big matchup as well. Um,

1112
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:14,360
Speaker 1: what are the biggest challenges for an offense when you

1113
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 1: face a defense like the Commanders that can get home

1114
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 1: with four they don't blitz much and then they play

1115
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:22,320
Speaker 1: a variety coverages behind it, but a lot of quarters.

1116
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 1: They play a lot of quarters and a lot of

1117
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 1: cover three. Oh well, that's the hard part right there,

1118
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:28,400
Speaker 1: because when you can rely on the four man pass

1119
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:31,200
Speaker 1: rush that frees, you drop so many guys into coverage.

1120
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 1: And if you're going again, if you have an experienced

1121
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 1: guy there, then that creates a problem because they just

1122
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:39,880
Speaker 1: see so many bodies out there fogging up his passing lanes.

1123
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 1: But when you have a guy like de Shaun Watson,

1124
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:43,840
Speaker 1: this is the beauty of having him there. All that

1125
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 1: gets thrown off schedule because the fact that he can

1126
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:49,279
Speaker 1: do what extend plays and move around and make things happen.

1127
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:51,800
Speaker 1: So what you want to see one is give the

1128
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 1: Shaun Watson enough ability to escape the pocket ifn't necessary,

1129
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 1: and then he is stationary and pocket and he's not

1130
00:56:57,760 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 1: called for him to run around and it's a three

1131
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:02,759
Speaker 1: step five step drop situation. Then you just simply hold

1132
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:04,760
Speaker 1: up to your in the bargain. And you know what, Nathan,

1133
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:06,439
Speaker 1: you are right. I do want to see what Jed

1134
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:10,239
Speaker 1: Wills does against Chase as well, because I figured they

1135
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 1: match him up against him, and that's gonna be a

1136
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:15,239
Speaker 1: pivotal matchup because obviously, if we do pass the ball

1137
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:18,400
Speaker 1: and we are in second and third long situations, obviously

1138
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 1: we need to hold up on the outside with Conklin

1139
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:23,800
Speaker 1: and as well as Wills. But ultimately, to beat a

1140
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:26,040
Speaker 1: team like that, you have to just dominate in the

1141
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:29,439
Speaker 1: trenches and you can't let that pass rush dictate things

1142
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 1: because that just opens. What you want to see happen

1143
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:33,520
Speaker 1: is that they have to say, you know what, we're

1144
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 1: not getting home with the four man rush, and then

1145
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 1: we have to bring a blitz and then you know

1146
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 1: you've got them. So you actually you never say invite blitzes,

1147
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 1: but in this case you do. In this case you do.

1148
00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 1: They also play in sub package Nickel eight percent dime uh,

1149
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 1: and maybe that's something the Browns can exploit on the

1150
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:54,200
Speaker 1: ground here against this team. They've done a pretty good

1151
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 1: job though all year against the run They're just a

1152
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:57,800
Speaker 1: good They've been a good defense. Quite frankly, for the Browns,

1153
00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 1: who's your ex factor on offense? And this one really

1154
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 1: for us on the offense, it comes down to Deshaun Watson.

1155
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 1: Can he make more steps? Can he continue to elevate?

1156
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 1: Because last week I would like what I saw considered

1157
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 1: the weather situation, And if you think about it, if

1158
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 1: Chief catches that football or if Diamond catches that football,

1159
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 1: we're probably telling a different story today about that game

1160
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 1: in this outcome, and we don't have to explain, Well,

1161
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 1: you have only had one touchdown in the past four games,

1162
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:26,440
Speaker 1: and obviously it has not been as bad as that

1163
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 1: sounds in my opinion. But maybe I'm looking at things

1164
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:32,880
Speaker 1: from a brown rose colored glasses. But in my mind, though,

1165
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 1: I see a quarterback making leaps and bounds of steps

1166
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 1: compared to what we saw the first week when he's

1167
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:40,640
Speaker 1: on the football Field's not even close. Oh yeah, I

1168
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 1: couldn't agree with that anymore. Uh. And then finally, so

1169
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:46,160
Speaker 1: your X factor, Deshaun Watson. Mind, I'm gonna go David Joko.

1170
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:49,120
Speaker 1: I think we have a good matchup against their safeties

1171
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:52,160
Speaker 1: and a good match up against their linebackers in the

1172
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 1: past game. Uh, their linebackers both given up over a

1173
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:58,040
Speaker 1: hundred rating in coverage. One of their safeties, Derek Four's

1174
00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 1: fifth round pick last year, it actually has four in sceptions,

1175
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:03,600
Speaker 1: leads a team. He's played very very well. But Cameron Curl,

1176
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 1: seventh rounder, he's been really really poor in coverage, completions

1177
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 1: hunter and twenty one rating. I think the Browns absolutely

1178
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 1: have an opportunity if Curl is back, and if not,

1179
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:16,640
Speaker 1: to get after Jeremy Reeves, who's really just a special

1180
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:18,520
Speaker 1: teams guy but had his first start of the season.

1181
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 1: He's somebody I think the Browns could go after in coverage,

1182
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:22,040
Speaker 1: and I think David and Joco could play a big,

1183
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 1: big role there in that respect for the Cleveland Browns.

1184
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:28,320
Speaker 1: All Right, when we come back here, talk a little

1185
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 1: bit of championship fantasy football. It's a tough week this week.

1186
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 1: You don't even know what some of these teams are doing,

1187
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:34,920
Speaker 1: you don't know who's healthy. It's it's kind of a

1188
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:37,680
Speaker 1: brutal championship. Do we know that Derrick Henry not playing tonight?

1189
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 1: Sounds like Tony Pollard also not playing tonight. So two

1190
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:42,880
Speaker 1: of the top ten running backs in fantasy football this season.

1191
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 1: Won't play tonight. I do think you want to get

1192
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 1: all your cowboys in there, and certainly that Dallas defense,

1193
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:48,760
Speaker 1: but we'll talk about that. Will take some more of

1194
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 1: your questions from the Browns mail bag as well to

1195
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:55,080
Speaker 1: thirty Joe Woods and the defensive matchup against the Commander's

1196
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 1: offense that now has Carson Wentz at quarterback. And listen

01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:37,320
Speaker 1: and and it's tough. This is a tough, tough, tough,

1206
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 1: tough weeks. Some quarterbacks that you could roll with this week.

1207
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 1: I mean, hopefully you've got your studs. You do not

1208
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:46,040
Speaker 1: want to get into any of you know, anybody kind

1209
01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:48,880
Speaker 1: of below that level this week in terms of the

1210
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:51,720
Speaker 1: guys that you've been counting on really all year. So

1211
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:55,800
Speaker 1: you know, Alan Mahomes, fields Borough Prescott, Justin, Herbert Kirk, Cousins,

1212
01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, those are your guys now beyond that top eight,

1213
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 1: I think Off Rogers, Mike White are all good starts

1214
01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 1: for you, brought pretty if you're desperate, and then if

1215
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 1: Minshew starts, obviously, if Jalen Hurt starts, you start him.

1216
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:10,160
Speaker 1: But if not Minshew, somebody that I wouldn't mind giving

1217
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:13,320
Speaker 1: a look to as well at the running back position.

1218
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 1: This is a This is an absolute tough one. I

1219
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 1: think Tyler Algier for Atlanta. He's proven to be very

1220
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:23,960
Speaker 1: solid for you this season. Another guy that I I

1221
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 1: think you could probably pick up and play, uh this

1222
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 1: week if you need to, just from a volume standpoint, Haskins.

1223
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:32,919
Speaker 1: He's gonna start for Tennessee. I don't know what they're

1224
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:34,840
Speaker 1: gonna do on offense, but if you need somebody that

1225
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:38,920
Speaker 1: can play a little bit, you have a chance. Um

1226
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 1: wide receivers, I love everybody on the Packers in that

1227
01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:45,400
Speaker 1: game against Minnesota, and Christian Watson has not practiced in

1228
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:49,320
Speaker 1: back to back days, so Alan Lazard, Romeo DoBeS, or

1229
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:51,400
Speaker 1: Dubs I think is somebody that you can get into

1230
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:55,040
Speaker 1: your lineups this week as well. UH tight ends Dalton Schultz,

1231
01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:57,720
Speaker 1: Tonight Gerald Everett, Tyler Higbee has been playing pretty well

1232
01:01:57,760 --> 01:02:01,080
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks as well. Cole That um,

1233
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:02,880
Speaker 1: that's what that's really what you're looking at. From a

1234
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:06,400
Speaker 1: Brown standpoint, it's the same people you know. It's obviously

1235
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:09,440
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb, it's a Mari Cooper, and it's David Njoku.

1236
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:10,840
Speaker 1: Those are the three guys you want this week. I

1237
01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:13,040
Speaker 1: think Dinovan People's Jones bounces back as well, but those

1238
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 1: are the those are the big three you want. From

1239
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:17,280
Speaker 1: a Brown standpoint, I think the Brown's d can have

1240
01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:19,120
Speaker 1: a chance to have a good game against Carson Wentz

1241
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:21,919
Speaker 1: as well. So that's kind of That's kind of where

1242
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:23,760
Speaker 1: we're at right there. That's where that's where we're at

1243
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:27,000
Speaker 1: in terms of fantasy. Strange week, I mean Tennessee shutting

1244
01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:29,760
Speaker 1: it down all of a sudden. Ezekiel Elliott I think

1245
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:33,200
Speaker 1: has an opportunity to be a big time UH stud

1246
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 1: this week. You might be like the number one running

1247
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:36,720
Speaker 1: back and of course the Mark Monico has got him

1248
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 1: and I'm going against them. No fun there turning there there, Yeah, um, alright,

1249
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:49,000
Speaker 1: real quick question then for Gerard, like these teams that

1250
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 1: are shutting it down that still have a lot to

1251
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:55,240
Speaker 1: play for good idea, bad idea? How's this playing in

1252
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:58,840
Speaker 1: the locker room? Like the Titans are basically saying we're

1253
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:02,200
Speaker 1: going to next week to win her in lose her

1254
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:06,800
Speaker 1: out game against Jacksonville. How are you just taking the

1255
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:11,160
Speaker 1: week off in week seventeen. It's definitely a regroup situation

1256
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:14,200
Speaker 1: for the Titans, and down the stretch they've been playing

1257
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 1: bad football and we know that and they're not winning games.

1258
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:22,480
Speaker 1: And to make this move, it's almost like I don't

1259
01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:24,360
Speaker 1: agree with it because I always think you should be playing,

1260
01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:27,640
Speaker 1: because it almost creates this idea that you're quitting for

1261
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:29,520
Speaker 1: least this week and that that game doesn't matter. So

1262
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:31,560
Speaker 1: if that game doesn't matter this week, and though we

1263
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:33,920
Speaker 1: know the game to following week does matter, why should

1264
01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:36,000
Speaker 1: I rise to the occasion for this week when I

1265
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:37,960
Speaker 1: didn't do it for the previous week. Because are we

1266
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,120
Speaker 1: supposed to take every game as if it means something?

1267
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:42,439
Speaker 1: So you run the risk of that from your locker

1268
01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:45,600
Speaker 1: room culture and message standpoint. But at the same time,

1269
01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:48,360
Speaker 1: if you are beat up, and if you are trying

1270
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:50,880
Speaker 1: to do this one more for the gipper approach a

1271
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:53,920
Speaker 1: plan of his final game and it's gonna count for everything.

1272
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 1: I get it. But at the same time, too, I

1273
01:03:56,880 --> 01:03:58,880
Speaker 1: also feel that this team wants to get in the playoffs.

1274
01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:00,400
Speaker 1: What the heck are they gonna do if they need

1275
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:03,240
Speaker 1: a weak rest, So these guys mentality might be a heck.

1276
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:05,560
Speaker 1: We came in saying the last two weeks of the season,

1277
01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:07,720
Speaker 1: what the heck we're gonna do against the following week

1278
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:11,240
Speaker 1: against better competition, So all those things go through your

1279
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:14,240
Speaker 1: mind as you're going through this process. But I'm definitely

1280
01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:16,959
Speaker 1: not a proponent of it. Unless I got some guys

1281
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:19,120
Speaker 1: that just need the doctors. Tell me, hey, he needs

1282
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 1: one more week and he'll be straight. I can buy

1283
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:23,720
Speaker 1: to that. But the whole entire team basically sitting down

1284
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:26,920
Speaker 1: with which this is treating as a preseason game and

1285
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:29,080
Speaker 1: a pretty much a showcase for dobs who am interret

1286
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:32,600
Speaker 1: to see how he plays. So yeah, it's it's strange.

1287
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:34,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I understand what they're trying to do, trying

1288
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:36,040
Speaker 1: to get healthy, trying to get everybody ready, but yeah,

1289
01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:38,360
Speaker 1: it's gonna be It's gonna be tough and at just

1290
01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:40,920
Speaker 1: this game right now for the NFL is not This

1291
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:44,280
Speaker 1: is not a compelling football game at all, not at all.

1292
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 1: And you figured that the Cowboys win, they're good. They

1293
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 1: don't have to even play next week, right, They can't

1294
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:55,080
Speaker 1: do anything there, They can't go any higher. Correct. I

1295
01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:57,680
Speaker 1: think they're where they're locked into that number five seed

1296
01:04:57,800 --> 01:04:59,720
Speaker 1: no matter what. So this game for the Commanders is

1297
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:02,360
Speaker 1: even more importance because they're figuring they're gonna get it,

1298
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:04,479
Speaker 1: beat us, They're gonna try to, and then they're gonna

1299
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:07,040
Speaker 1: get a Dallas team that's disinterested in winning, and then

1300
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:11,360
Speaker 1: they're in. All right, John, let me ask you this

1301
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:17,160
Speaker 1: because I asked earlier this week Nathaniel disagreed with me. Uh,

1302
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:22,200
Speaker 1: should they recede teams based on records at the end

1303
01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:24,919
Speaker 1: of it going into the postseason, Like if Tampa Bay

1304
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:27,520
Speaker 1: wins or Jacksonville wins and they have a losing record,

1305
01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:30,480
Speaker 1: should they be received I'm gonna say no. The reason

1306
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 1: why I'm gonna say no, Jake, is simply because life

1307
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:35,880
Speaker 1: ain't fair. And no, it's not fair that you have

1308
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:38,240
Speaker 1: a crappy record and you won your division, but you

1309
01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:40,520
Speaker 1: want to put on its on win division because at

1310
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:42,720
Speaker 1: them some point then the whole idea when a division

1311
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:45,360
Speaker 1: won't matter, it will be simply who has the best records.

1312
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:47,720
Speaker 1: And actually I don't have a problem with that, but

1313
01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:53,520
Speaker 1: obviously from a regional standpoint, that's why this division thing matters. Yeah,

1314
01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:56,480
Speaker 1: the divisions matter, That's what it is. Find winning your

1315
01:05:56,480 --> 01:05:59,920
Speaker 1: division matters, that's something that is of consequence. I got

1316
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:03,520
Speaker 1: a couple more male bag questions at Brown's Underscore Daily

1317
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:07,640
Speaker 1: using the hashtag ask cbd uh, what do you think

1318
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:10,840
Speaker 1: the most urgent need on the defensive and offensive sides

1319
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:13,840
Speaker 1: of the ball we need to tackle this offseason. I

1320
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:17,000
Speaker 1: know we still have games left, but we can look

1321
01:06:17,040 --> 01:06:22,880
Speaker 1: ahead to the off season. Offensively, it's a speedy receiver

1322
01:06:22,960 --> 01:06:25,840
Speaker 1: to open up this offense, a guy that can stretch

1323
01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:27,960
Speaker 1: the field, take the top off of a defense, create

1324
01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:30,800
Speaker 1: space underneath for everybody else to operate. And then defensively,

1325
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:32,480
Speaker 1: we need some beef in the middle. We need some

1326
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:36,320
Speaker 1: defensive tackles that can hold up against the run. Really

1327
01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:40,640
Speaker 1: that it's really that simple. It's really that's it. I mean,

1328
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:44,520
Speaker 1: that's that's gotta be One of the deepestive ends is

1329
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:46,360
Speaker 1: gonna have to emerge a step up as well. That's

1330
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:51,080
Speaker 1: something you have to consider too. Yeah. Yeah, I think

1331
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:54,800
Speaker 1: definitely you're gonna need some more depth on the defensive edge.

1332
01:06:55,240 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 1: And Alex right, it's gotta take a big step forward

1333
01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:59,440
Speaker 1: next year. Yeah. I mean, I don't know if Clowney's

1334
01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:01,960
Speaker 1: coming back is win of it your one year deal.

1335
01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:04,480
Speaker 1: He's on the last year of his rookie deal. Yeah,

1336
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:07,960
Speaker 1: So I mean, you can lose both of those guys

1337
01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 1: and then you've gotta you've gotta figure out some things

1338
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:16,280
Speaker 1: and figure out some things quickly. Uh. Jeremiah Fields tweets

1339
01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 1: at the show. If you could have a mini fast

1340
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:22,160
Speaker 1: food restaurant in your house, which one would you pick?

1341
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:27,439
Speaker 1: Gerarde Garde? You're like the food connoisseur, Yes, I am.

1342
01:07:27,560 --> 01:07:29,240
Speaker 1: If I could have a you know what I picked,

1343
01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:31,400
Speaker 1: I wish I could remember that name since I can't

1344
01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:33,360
Speaker 1: remember that spot. I brought you the food back from

1345
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:38,920
Speaker 1: Jacksonville with the gravy bins. How grill was that? I know?

1346
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:40,400
Speaker 1: I forgive me. I must not be from the South.

1347
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:42,360
Speaker 1: I said gravy and what I say biscuits and gravy

1348
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:44,280
Speaker 1: or gravy and biscuits. I said it backwards, but The

1349
01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:46,320
Speaker 1: whole point is that was tremendous. But if I could

1350
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:48,960
Speaker 1: do something, it's the spot. I gotta take you too,

1351
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:50,600
Speaker 1: And I wish I could have done. When we're in Miami,

1352
01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:52,360
Speaker 1: I didn't have time to go pick up the food

1353
01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:59,120
Speaker 1: for us. It's called Campernaro. It is the best polo compero.

1354
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:01,960
Speaker 1: Thank you, Poyo Caparo. I don't even know the name.

1355
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:05,840
Speaker 1: So the best Peruvian fried chicken you've ever had in

1356
01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:12,120
Speaker 1: your life. It's incredible. I've gone to Miami with a sailer,

1357
01:08:13,560 --> 01:08:17,519
Speaker 1: but a hundred dollars worth of it, froze it and

1358
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:21,400
Speaker 1: brought it back on a plane, that's how good it is. Wow.

1359
01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:28,479
Speaker 1: What um. There is a place in North North Beach

1360
01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:33,599
Speaker 1: and they have and I we saw the last time

1361
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:35,519
Speaker 1: we were in Miami. Not this year, but the last

1362
01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:41,400
Speaker 1: time they do a skillet fried chicken maybe Yardbird. It

1363
01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:44,679
Speaker 1: was on like guy Fieries Diners dry like. We found

1364
01:08:44,720 --> 01:08:46,639
Speaker 1: it and we had to take like a forty five

1365
01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:50,000
Speaker 1: minute uber ride. It was worth that. It was worth

1366
01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:53,479
Speaker 1: every penny, every minute in the car. This skillet fried

1367
01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:56,160
Speaker 1: chicken was off the charts. I feel you guys are

1368
01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:59,160
Speaker 1: going very like small scale, like I was interpreting that

1369
01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:03,080
Speaker 1: as like a big like a big fast food chain. Yeah,

1370
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:06,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what I want. I mean, for me,

1371
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:07,880
Speaker 1: it would have to be of like the big ones.

1372
01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:10,679
Speaker 1: Now like that, if Chipotle or Baby Bop doesn't count,

1373
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:15,040
Speaker 1: I'd have I'd have a Baby Bop. I could Bebop.

1374
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:16,320
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things that could do with Bebo.

1375
01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:18,519
Speaker 1: Taco Bell would be a very close second, though. I'd

1376
01:09:18,520 --> 01:09:23,040
Speaker 1: loving a healthier I like a little baby Bop. I

1377
01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:25,200
Speaker 1: like that. But you can you can give me a

1378
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:32,400
Speaker 1: gallery Boyato weekend. I'm fine with that too. Alright, California Coola,

1389
01:10:09,320 --> 01:10:11,400
Speaker 1: we go a little match up time. Now, let's here

1390
01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:16,720
Speaker 1: from runs defensive coordinator Joe Woods, one of, if not

1391
01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:19,160
Speaker 1: the worst run defenses in the NFL by a bunch

1392
01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:23,440
Speaker 1: of different metrics. Has not been more steam or more personnel.

1393
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:28,439
Speaker 1: You know, I just think, you know, teams started running

1394
01:10:28,479 --> 01:10:31,000
Speaker 1: the ball on us. Then we get a high, high

1395
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:35,320
Speaker 1: number of runs per game, and we haven't handled it

1396
01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:38,560
Speaker 1: well because we get explosive runs, you know. And that

1397
01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:41,320
Speaker 1: was the main focus for us throughout throughout the season

1398
01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:43,840
Speaker 1: was how can we eliminate the explosives and we used

1399
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:46,000
Speaker 1: didn't do a good job. But when you give up

1400
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:47,639
Speaker 1: big runs, you give up big yards. And I think

1401
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:49,920
Speaker 1: that's what happened through it happened to us throughout the season.

1402
01:10:51,160 --> 01:10:54,680
Speaker 1: Cost defense, specifically the secondary has gotten better, but the

1403
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:57,599
Speaker 1: run defense is just continue to kind of struggle week

1404
01:10:57,640 --> 01:11:00,479
Speaker 1: to week. Yeah, I think we've been consistent, you know

1405
01:11:00,560 --> 01:11:04,600
Speaker 1: in the secondary um throughout the year. It's just to

1406
01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:07,840
Speaker 1: run defense hasn't been good. You know, I'm not gonna

1407
01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:10,000
Speaker 1: run away and high from it's this hasn't been good

1408
01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:12,920
Speaker 1: years in a row now, and you know, the start

1409
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:15,439
Speaker 1: has been slower than you guys would have liked. I

1410
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:18,200
Speaker 1: guess number one. How frustrating is that? Number two? Like,

1411
01:11:18,320 --> 01:11:21,559
Speaker 1: it wasn't surprising that you guys finished your so strong

1412
01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:24,479
Speaker 1: last year and come in and still have those struggles. Yeah,

1413
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:27,840
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean it's a good question. I mean

1414
01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 1: last year, this year was the first year we really

1415
01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:33,280
Speaker 1: had a full offseason, and I felt like we put

1416
01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:35,960
Speaker 1: a lot of time. Man, we did a lot more

1417
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:38,679
Speaker 1: in terms of walk throughs. I felt really good about

1418
01:11:38,720 --> 01:11:41,800
Speaker 1: the defense, some of the new things we put in. Um,

1419
01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:44,960
Speaker 1: you know, just I don't know. For whatever reason, this

1420
01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:47,720
Speaker 1: feels like we we start slow and some of them

1421
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:51,000
Speaker 1: maybe you know, the preseason you don't do a bunch

1422
01:11:51,400 --> 01:11:54,280
Speaker 1: um your you face different offensive schemes. You're trying to

1423
01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:58,400
Speaker 1: feel what you do good. Um, But overall, I really

1424
01:11:58,439 --> 01:12:04,040
Speaker 1: can't put my finger on it. Um. He likes playing inside,

1425
01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:06,240
Speaker 1: but he kind of wants to do it less than

1426
01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:09,400
Speaker 1: he did this year. Is that possible? I can never

1427
01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:11,840
Speaker 1: be your role where maybe he does some slop. It

1428
01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:15,240
Speaker 1: isn't every down slot eyed for you. I think the

1429
01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:18,519
Speaker 1: more you can do the better. The more versatility allows

1430
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:21,080
Speaker 1: us to do certain things in terms of crating matchups

1431
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:23,600
Speaker 1: and moving people around. You know you're there. It's a

1432
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:25,919
Speaker 1: little bit different. You know, you gotta playing a linebacker,

1433
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:30,840
Speaker 1: so um wolf try to find ways to do that. UM.

1434
01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:33,400
Speaker 1: But again, I think the versatility for him is the

1435
01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:36,599
Speaker 1: most important thing before game day and on game day

1436
01:12:36,640 --> 01:12:38,360
Speaker 1: when Myles has to sits a series, is that Is

1437
01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:41,760
Speaker 1: that a big deal? No, I would want him out

1438
01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:44,479
Speaker 1: there all the time, but we try to wrest him.

1439
01:12:44,479 --> 01:12:46,760
Speaker 1: You always want your best guys on the field. UM.

1440
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:48,880
Speaker 1: In those past rush situations at the end of the game,

1441
01:12:49,280 --> 01:12:51,599
Speaker 1: you got the best for Miles on Wednesday through Saturday

1442
01:12:51,680 --> 01:12:54,600
Speaker 1: this weekness year. Yeah, Myles has been fighting through it.

1443
01:12:54,720 --> 01:12:57,840
Speaker 1: I mean there's times when he's not out there practicing. UM.

1444
01:12:58,160 --> 01:13:01,519
Speaker 1: You know he's dealing with injuries, especially you know as

1445
01:13:01,520 --> 01:13:04,439
Speaker 1: an upper body injuries. UM. But when he gets out there,

1446
01:13:04,479 --> 01:13:09,519
Speaker 1: he gives us his best discipline and the execution of

1447
01:13:09,640 --> 01:13:12,280
Speaker 1: your defense this year not being maybe what you wanted.

1448
01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:17,759
Speaker 1: Have you seen guys take accountability for missed opportunities, missed

1449
01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:22,120
Speaker 1: execution moments out there on the field. And that's the thing.

1450
01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:26,479
Speaker 1: I mean in the games that we play, when we won,

1451
01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:29,599
Speaker 1: like a game really comes down to two or three

1452
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:32,280
Speaker 1: plays you make two or three plays, like say you

1453
01:13:32,320 --> 01:13:34,559
Speaker 1: get off on the third down, where in the game

1454
01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:36,280
Speaker 1: you don't get off on the third down, you take

1455
01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:38,640
Speaker 1: eight more plays. If it happens twice a game, you

1456
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:43,360
Speaker 1: take sixty more plays. So you know, it's when you

1457
01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 1: look at the tape, that's that's what really happens. And

1458
01:13:46,240 --> 01:13:48,960
Speaker 1: there's times this year we made those plays, you know,

1459
01:13:49,200 --> 01:13:54,400
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh games, Cincinnatti game, Tampa game, Baltimore, and there's games

1460
01:13:54,439 --> 01:14:00,479
Speaker 1: where we didn't. You know, Reggie Ragland like graded crazy high. Um,

1461
01:14:01,080 --> 01:14:03,800
Speaker 1: I guess the Saints did you guys also great him?

1462
01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:06,280
Speaker 1: Did he have a really good perform Yeah? He played well.

1463
01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:08,160
Speaker 1: I mean early on with some of the things they

1464
01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:09,920
Speaker 1: were doing, we had to make some adjustments on the

1465
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:13,320
Speaker 1: sideline it turns of our alignments. But once he got comfortable,

1466
01:14:13,479 --> 01:14:15,200
Speaker 1: you know, really for his first time being out there,

1467
01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:17,880
Speaker 1: I thought he played well. Good. Just we'll use that

1468
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:21,080
Speaker 1: games set up for his style. Um, you know, being

1469
01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:23,479
Speaker 1: a big guy in the middle, would you playing as

1470
01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:26,880
Speaker 1: many snaps moving this week? Yeah? I think you play

1471
01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:29,439
Speaker 1: him and just see what he can do. Um, you know,

1472
01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:32,719
Speaker 1: based off of what he did last week, we definitely

1473
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:35,240
Speaker 1: have a rotation on our linebackers based on what type

1474
01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:37,320
Speaker 1: of package we're in. But we're gonna put him out

1475
01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:40,040
Speaker 1: there and see what he can do. Yeah, in terms

1476
01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:42,439
Speaker 1: of the big picture of the defense, kind of going

1477
01:14:42,479 --> 01:14:45,320
Speaker 1: back to ask this question about kind of two years

1478
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:48,120
Speaker 1: in the row, you know, starting slow and then finding

1479
01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:51,360
Speaker 1: new footing a little bit. Um, I just wonder is

1480
01:14:51,400 --> 01:14:56,920
Speaker 1: there anything too did you maybe start maybe too complex

1481
01:14:57,000 --> 01:14:59,439
Speaker 1: and have to scale things back? I don't, you know,

1482
01:14:59,520 --> 01:15:02,640
Speaker 1: the health eyes, uh, you know, make fewer mistakes. Has

1483
01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:04,960
Speaker 1: that been a pattern at all? I don't think so.

1484
01:15:05,960 --> 01:15:08,519
Speaker 1: I mean, our scheme is really that big, and we

1485
01:15:08,640 --> 01:15:11,439
Speaker 1: really do the We do the same things, we just

1486
01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:14,560
Speaker 1: package them differently. And that's what I really tried to

1487
01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:18,200
Speaker 1: eliminate after we started making some mistakes and you know,

1488
01:15:18,200 --> 01:15:20,200
Speaker 1: instead of having double calls or calls based off the

1489
01:15:20,280 --> 01:15:22,840
Speaker 1: formation or based off the back, but we were still

1490
01:15:22,960 --> 01:15:26,280
Speaker 1: running the same calls. Um. But I don't feel like

1491
01:15:26,360 --> 01:15:30,400
Speaker 1: that was a problem this season. Were you concerned about

1492
01:15:30,439 --> 01:15:32,479
Speaker 1: the run defense or has this been stunning the way

1493
01:15:32,560 --> 01:15:36,040
Speaker 1: that it's kind of unfolded. I was not concerned about

1494
01:15:36,040 --> 01:15:38,400
Speaker 1: the run defense. I know there was questions, you know,

1495
01:15:38,520 --> 01:15:40,360
Speaker 1: the big thing since I've been here we've had a

1496
01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:43,799
Speaker 1: lot of turnover, and I knew this year we drafted

1497
01:15:43,840 --> 01:15:45,720
Speaker 1: some young guys, so it's gonna take time for those

1498
01:15:45,760 --> 01:15:48,599
Speaker 1: guys that developed. But going into the season, I wasn't

1499
01:15:48,600 --> 01:15:52,200
Speaker 1: concerned with the run defense hard because you had some

1500
01:15:52,960 --> 01:15:56,000
Speaker 1: good linebackers that didn't end up being there for you

1501
01:15:56,080 --> 01:15:57,880
Speaker 1: as the season when yeah, this felt like we had

1502
01:15:57,880 --> 01:16:00,880
Speaker 1: our whole lineback and crew back. You know. Obviously we

1503
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:03,640
Speaker 1: evaluated some of the guys we brought in, it just

1504
01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:05,920
Speaker 1: felt like they fit our ski you know. And that

1505
01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:08,960
Speaker 1: and again, most of the our run issues are just

1506
01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:13,920
Speaker 1: execution based or tackling, so it's fundamentals are just really

1507
01:16:13,960 --> 01:16:18,799
Speaker 1: trying to execute the defense. What would be the benefit?

1508
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:21,639
Speaker 1: And does he want to play these last two games? Um,

1509
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:24,040
Speaker 1: you know, coming off of a concussion, And if so,

1510
01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:27,479
Speaker 1: do you think he will? Yes, I definitely think he

1511
01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:31,360
Speaker 1: wants to play. Uh. Yeah, he's in good spirits yesterday,

1512
01:16:31,600 --> 01:16:34,559
Speaker 1: So yeah, I look forward to plenties last two games.

1513
01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:37,320
Speaker 1: For sure. We need him. And even though he's been

1514
01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:39,680
Speaker 1: a little bit banged up throughout the year, when he

1515
01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:41,800
Speaker 1: is out there on the field, I mean, he still

1516
01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:44,880
Speaker 1: looks like he's got plenty left in the tank. Right, yes, yes,

1517
01:16:45,240 --> 01:16:48,439
Speaker 1: I would agree with it. Alright, that's Brown's defensive coordinator,

1518
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:51,519
Speaker 1: Joe Woods there, all right, drawd. The Commanders go back

1519
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:53,479
Speaker 1: to Carson Wentz. They throw the ball a little bit

1520
01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:55,639
Speaker 1: more with Carson W's average about twenty five more yards

1521
01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:59,040
Speaker 1: passing per game with Wentz this season on the year,

1522
01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:02,639
Speaker 1: completion six hundred and twelve yards, eleven touchdown, six picks,

1523
01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:05,880
Speaker 1: eighty six point three rating two and four as the

1524
01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:10,120
Speaker 1: starter there, Um, they've got very good receivers. Terry McLaurin,

1525
01:17:10,160 --> 01:17:12,400
Speaker 1: pro bowler over a thousand yards twenty seven shy of

1526
01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:15,680
Speaker 1: a new career high. John Dotson, the young man out

1527
01:17:15,720 --> 01:17:18,040
Speaker 1: of Penn State, has a touchdown three straight games, seven

1528
01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:20,960
Speaker 1: touchdowns leads the team. And then Curtis Samuel sixty two

1529
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:23,439
Speaker 1: catches six hundred fifty two yards. He was a stud

1530
01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:26,080
Speaker 1: at Ohio State and having a very nice year as well.

1531
01:17:26,120 --> 01:17:28,240
Speaker 1: They got Logan Thomas. They run it with Brian Robinson.

1532
01:17:28,439 --> 01:17:31,240
Speaker 1: The rookies got seven ten yards rushing to lead the team.

1533
01:17:31,520 --> 01:17:34,240
Speaker 1: We'll see about Antonio Gibson's availability, but he ran for

1534
01:17:34,240 --> 01:17:36,920
Speaker 1: over a thousand yards last year. Um, what do you

1535
01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:39,280
Speaker 1: see from this Commander's offense? What are the challenges for

1536
01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:43,040
Speaker 1: the Browns defense to assess why Ron is making this move.

1537
01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:45,599
Speaker 1: I understand that that Taylor had a couple of turnovers

1538
01:17:45,680 --> 01:17:47,640
Speaker 1: in the game last week against the fourty niners. I

1539
01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:50,800
Speaker 1: get that, and you're saying yourself, he's the one who

1540
01:17:50,840 --> 01:17:53,240
Speaker 1: I feel sparked his team was a callous to get

1541
01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:55,560
Speaker 1: these guys to play better once he took over and

1542
01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:57,360
Speaker 1: they went away from Carson went so to go back

1543
01:17:57,400 --> 01:18:00,800
Speaker 1: to him is really perverse in my line. But at

1544
01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:03,400
Speaker 1: the same time, Carson did have some good numbers in

1545
01:18:03,479 --> 01:18:05,400
Speaker 1: the latter stages of a game that was out of reach.

1546
01:18:06,439 --> 01:18:08,360
Speaker 1: So against the forty nine is last week, so it

1547
01:18:08,439 --> 01:18:10,280
Speaker 1: makes those sense to me while they're going to in

1548
01:18:10,360 --> 01:18:13,559
Speaker 1: the first place, because again, not the bang on Carson Wentz,

1549
01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:15,840
Speaker 1: but he has not been the best of quarterbacks of late.

1550
01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:17,960
Speaker 1: But with that being said, you like the fact that

1551
01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:20,280
Speaker 1: they are multiple office that could do different things. The

1552
01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:24,280
Speaker 1: receivers are talented, our secondary is talented. So I'm looking

1553
01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:26,120
Speaker 1: forward to that match up to see how we held things.

1554
01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:28,400
Speaker 1: The thing that concerns me most is what concerns me

1555
01:18:28,600 --> 01:18:30,439
Speaker 1: about our team all years. How are we gonna stop

1556
01:18:30,520 --> 01:18:33,080
Speaker 1: the run now? I think having raggling in there and Jones.

1557
01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:35,720
Speaker 1: They did some good things last week, but obviously the

1558
01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:39,040
Speaker 1: SATs still we're productive and beat us on the ground

1559
01:18:39,280 --> 01:18:41,439
Speaker 1: more so than in the air. So that's still gonna

1560
01:18:41,439 --> 01:18:43,240
Speaker 1: be the issue. Can we stop the run. If we

1561
01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:46,200
Speaker 1: can't stop to run like again, I'll take our secondary

1562
01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:48,240
Speaker 1: on the road anywhere or at home. And I like

1563
01:18:48,360 --> 01:18:50,200
Speaker 1: our chances because we have a talented group of guys

1564
01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:53,040
Speaker 1: back there. Yeah, and Wentz runs a little bit, but

1565
01:18:53,120 --> 01:18:55,280
Speaker 1: not very much. That's not what he's known for. Taysom

1566
01:18:55,360 --> 01:18:58,080
Speaker 1: Hill obviously a completely different animal from the Saints last week.

1567
01:18:58,160 --> 01:19:00,479
Speaker 1: But Brian Robinson has been playing well at a hundred

1568
01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:02,840
Speaker 1: yards in Week twelve against Atlanta. He's given a hundred

1569
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:05,000
Speaker 1: or more total yards in three the last four games.

1570
01:19:05,040 --> 01:19:07,080
Speaker 1: And I think you're right they will run the ball

1571
01:19:07,400 --> 01:19:09,320
Speaker 1: whence one thing he does well is throw it down

1572
01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:11,320
Speaker 1: the field on vertical passes in more than twenty yards

1573
01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:13,839
Speaker 1: in the air, fourteen point nine yards per attempt, four touchdowns,

1574
01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:15,720
Speaker 1: the quarterback rating of one thirteen. So we have to

1575
01:19:15,760 --> 01:19:18,559
Speaker 1: make sure the ball does not go over our heads

1576
01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:20,840
Speaker 1: in this game. What's the number one match up for

1577
01:19:20,960 --> 01:19:22,639
Speaker 1: you in this one? Is it? Is it? The corners

1578
01:19:22,680 --> 01:19:25,200
Speaker 1: and their receivers, or is it our lying against their

1579
01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:28,200
Speaker 1: running game. I really think they're gonna go our line

1580
01:19:28,920 --> 01:19:30,760
Speaker 1: trying to run it, run it against us. So I'm

1581
01:19:30,760 --> 01:19:32,920
Speaker 1: gonna say our line and running game. I mean, you've

1582
01:19:32,960 --> 01:19:35,479
Speaker 1: seen it, you witness it. Why would you not try that?

1583
01:19:35,640 --> 01:19:37,599
Speaker 1: Every team has said, you know what, we're gonna pass

1584
01:19:37,600 --> 01:19:40,479
Speaker 1: a football. Ultimately, what have they done? Only one team

1585
01:19:40,479 --> 01:19:42,320
Speaker 1: has beat us through the air, in my opinion, and

1586
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:45,360
Speaker 1: that's the Dolphins. Does that fanners say, yep? I can't

1587
01:19:45,360 --> 01:19:49,160
Speaker 1: think that has dominated us from a passing standpoint. Under

1588
01:19:49,240 --> 01:19:53,679
Speaker 1: The Dolphins been to run running games, So why would

1589
01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:55,479
Speaker 1: you not do that? Give it a try. I'm sure

1590
01:19:55,520 --> 01:19:58,679
Speaker 1: they will, but at some point, if they lack in success,

1591
01:19:58,880 --> 01:20:00,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna go to a run game. And it's been

1592
01:20:00,760 --> 01:20:04,120
Speaker 1: working for a lot of teams. It has been, and

1593
01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:06,000
Speaker 1: that'll be the formula again. We'll watch to see if

1594
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:08,160
Speaker 1: Gibson is ready to go. Gibson's the guy who's given

1595
01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:10,120
Speaker 1: them over a thousand total yards and ten touchdowns in

1596
01:20:10,160 --> 01:20:12,519
Speaker 1: each of his first two seasons. He's got eight and five.

1597
01:20:12,640 --> 01:20:15,599
Speaker 1: Robinson was their rookie third rounder who, remember was shot

1598
01:20:15,720 --> 01:20:19,400
Speaker 1: in a carjacking debut until Week five, still has seven

1599
01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:21,920
Speaker 1: ten yards on the season, has been playing some of

1600
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:24,680
Speaker 1: his best football lately, so that will be Yeah, that's

1601
01:20:24,720 --> 01:20:27,320
Speaker 1: gonna be a big match up there. Um, who is

1602
01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:30,880
Speaker 1: your ex factor on defense this week? Well, for us

1603
01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:33,479
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of ball again, I go back

1604
01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:35,880
Speaker 1: to the guys in the middle, and and to his credit,

1605
01:20:36,160 --> 01:20:38,639
Speaker 1: having give him enough credit, Jordan Elliott actually been playing

1606
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:42,040
Speaker 1: pretty good for the past few weeks. It hasn't it's

1607
01:20:42,080 --> 01:20:44,120
Speaker 1: going unnoticed because of one he's in the interior. We

1608
01:20:44,160 --> 01:20:46,519
Speaker 1: don't talk about those guys because it's not sexy. But

1609
01:20:46,640 --> 01:20:48,680
Speaker 1: he's been doing okay. But this week we're gonna need

1610
01:20:48,720 --> 01:20:51,799
Speaker 1: his services again because when he plays well, our defense

1611
01:20:51,880 --> 01:20:54,880
Speaker 1: tends to play well also, So I'm looking at Elliot.

1612
01:20:54,960 --> 01:20:57,760
Speaker 1: If he can have some dominant presence up front, that's

1613
01:20:57,800 --> 01:21:01,240
Speaker 1: gonna certainly help the cause. Yeah, the guy's up front,

1614
01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:02,960
Speaker 1: and I think it's gonna be about guys getting pressure

1615
01:21:03,040 --> 01:21:05,559
Speaker 1: as well. On Carson Wentz pressure, he takes a lot

1616
01:21:05,600 --> 01:21:10,280
Speaker 1: of sacks, he will turn the football over. So Miles, Clowney, Winovich,

1617
01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:12,680
Speaker 1: Alex Right, you know, all those guys getting after the

1618
01:21:12,760 --> 01:21:15,200
Speaker 1: quarterback gives this defense. I think a chance to really

1619
01:21:15,320 --> 01:21:17,639
Speaker 1: make some plays, which would be great to see there.

1620
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:20,680
Speaker 1: There's nothing quite like tailgating touchdowns and twisted tea. It

1621
01:21:20,760 --> 01:21:23,400
Speaker 1: tastes just like real ice team Why because it's made

1622
01:21:23,439 --> 01:21:25,800
Speaker 1: with real brute t cool, refreshing with a five percent

1623
01:21:25,880 --> 01:21:28,559
Speaker 1: kick of alcohol. It's thirst down and goal twisted te

1624
01:21:28,720 --> 01:21:31,880
Speaker 1: hard iceed tea. Keep it twisted. When we come back.

1625
01:21:32,320 --> 01:21:34,200
Speaker 1: Final thoughts here we wrap it up. We'll talk a

1626
01:21:34,200 --> 01:21:36,880
Speaker 1: little bit about the Cowboys Titans game that's trying to

1627
01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:39,679
Speaker 1: turn into an exhibition here for the NFL in week

1628
01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:44,559

1642
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:40,920
Speaker 1: icon of sports history. Oh yeah, definitely, definitely iconic. What

1643
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:44,000
Speaker 1: won't be as iconic as tonight's game? Would you like

1644
01:22:44,120 --> 01:22:48,360
Speaker 1: to play a little guests the score? Guess the I'm

1645
01:22:48,400 --> 01:22:50,000
Speaker 1: so curious as to what it opened up at and

1646
01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:52,519
Speaker 1: what it is, And now I don't have an answer

1647
01:22:52,600 --> 01:22:56,800
Speaker 1: for that. Uh, either one of you have a it's

1648
01:22:56,840 --> 01:22:59,280
Speaker 1: gotta be two touchdowns. They're not even trying. It's gotta

1649
01:22:59,280 --> 01:23:07,200
Speaker 1: be two touchdowns. I say four teens. It started at eleven,

1650
01:23:07,439 --> 01:23:10,400
Speaker 1: it's at fourteen. They're not even trying to They're not

1651
01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:13,960
Speaker 1: even trying to compete in this game, which is crazy.

1652
01:23:14,040 --> 01:23:16,000
Speaker 1: Gonna have to watch it, and I have to watch

1653
01:23:16,080 --> 01:23:18,000
Speaker 1: it and watch Zekiel the probably run for eight thousand

1654
01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:21,000
Speaker 1: yards five thousand touchdowns and end my whole fantasy season tonight.

1655
01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:23,519
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot, Titans, thanks a lot for abel appreciate it.

1656
01:23:24,200 --> 01:23:30,080
Speaker 1: I I don't that is so unlike sound right. They

1657
01:23:30,160 --> 01:23:32,120
Speaker 1: must just be beating up more than we know about.

1658
01:23:32,439 --> 01:23:34,760
Speaker 1: I mean, Henry had a hip injury, Simmons was banged

1659
01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:36,280
Speaker 1: up a little bit, so he just wants to get

1660
01:23:36,320 --> 01:23:38,320
Speaker 1: his guys healthy and that I understand. They loved one

1661
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:40,880
Speaker 1: game to play that actually matters for their ability to

1662
01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:45,160
Speaker 1: play in the postseason. I think the Cowboys win by

1663
01:23:45,200 --> 01:23:50,040
Speaker 1: a billion. Yeah, it's so weird. It's Thursday night, Holiday week.
