00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: Coming to you live from the cross country mortgage campus

2
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: in Barrio Ohio. This is Cleveland BROWNS DAILY SP IN CLEVELAND.

3
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: Here are your hosts, Bo Bishop and Nathan Zigura. All right,

4
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: let's do alive on a first Friday edition of the

5
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: program merely bow and the great z. So one more

6
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: day of hot and then we chill out, brother, like

7
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 1: a thirty to degree swing the next baby, and it's

8
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: going to get cold in there in our you know

9
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: when we have when we were out there battling in

10
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: the weather APP streets and we settled on our our

11
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: new faith. What I loved about it is it said

12
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: for Thursday night, said bring a coat, bring it's gonna

13
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: be a lot colder than you've been used to. And

14
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: in fact it is saying we could be. We're talking

15
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: lows in the forties. Brother. Yeah, there's football weather. The

16
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: problem is is the humidity is still gonna be high,

17
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: so it's gonna feel even colder than that. You know why?

18
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: The kids, you grew up in San Francisco, you know that.

19
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: That's why Mark Twain said it's that humidity cold a summer.

20
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: Coldest winter we ever spent was a summer in San

21
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 1: Summer in San Francisco, the humidity, the humidity that just clingsia,

22
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: cold molecules, the whole deal. That's crazy. I mean it's

23
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: been so warm. It's been in you know, much of

24
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: September has been that way, and it feels like it's

25
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: flipping and then it's staying there. That's right. It looks

26
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: like it's in the sixties from here on out. Uh.

27
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,559
Speaker 1: So that's where you are. It's hard because we've spent

28
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: so much time this week, obviously with the disappointment of Sunday,

29
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: but here we are on a first Friday. We play

30
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: tomorrow night. I know you know that because you're doing

31
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: copious amount of work on your notes on your boards. Um,

32
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: but this game, ready or not? Thursday the steelers are here. Yeah,

33
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: and we are ready. We will be ready. I think that,

34
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: you know, we'll see as as the thing go is on,

35
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: but I'm feeling comfortable that the browns will have, you know,

36
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: the guys that they want out there. I think that,

37
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 1: you know, this is Joel Mattonio. I think we'll be

38
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: out there. I feel good about Miles Garrett being able

39
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: to get out there, which I think is huge for

40
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: this team. I think it's massive and then you know,

41
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: you have to wonder. James Hudson's played so well, but

42
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: is this the week that Jack Conklin finally makes his debut?

43
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: They didn't need to rush him, but is this the

44
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: game where they say, okay, let's get our let's get

45
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: our top guy back out there if he's ready to go?

46
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: So I think we will be close to at full

47
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: strength here going into this game, given the fact that

48
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: we know we won't have Jadeveon Clowney and on their side,

49
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: given the fact that they know they won't have t

50
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: j watt the the miles part of it, potentially, fingers crossed,

51
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: would be just enormous. Let me the lift uh that

52
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: he would have there. The Hudson part of this is

53
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: interesting too, because he has balled out. It's played very

54
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: well and so there's you feel very good about the future, uh,

55
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: at that position, with the way that he has played.

56
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: And to think about at times last year looked completely

57
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: lost and not has appointed himself very well very early

58
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: on this season. Um, you mentioned miles. In terms of

59
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: injury updates from yesterday, Myles Garrett did not practice, Joel

60
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: Batonio did not practice, Davian clowney did not practice. Clown

61
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: he's done. We just rattled out. Harrison Bryant, Jack Conklin

62
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 1: Chris Hubbard were all limited participants in the practice yesterday.

63
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: Jesse James Chase winovitch were moved to I r Isaiah

64
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: Thomas was a full go. All right. So we do

65
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: have some news right now for the browns. Miles Garrett

66
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: and Jack Conklin both expected to play against the steelers.

67
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: The browns are listing Clowney as out. No designation for

68
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: anyone else. Miles Garrett does not carry an injury designation,

69
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: nor does Joel Betonio. Jack Conklin will start as well

70
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: for the Browns, so that means you will have as

71
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: we just speculated, and boom, there it is. That's what

72
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: you will have for this team. So your line wills

73
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: and Conklin back to tackle batonio and tell her at

74
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: the ards postic will be your center. And then, defensively,

75
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: having miles is so massive. And you brought Isaac Rochelle

76
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: and Jordan KNASHK, both signed, to the fifty three, replacing

77
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: Jesse James, who went on the injured reserve, as well

78
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: as chase win of it who went on injured reserves.

79
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: So that's your fifty three. But that means we'll have

80
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 1: Rochelle right, miles, the big one, and Isaiah Thomas. We

81
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: will have four defensive ends for this game. It'll be

82
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: interesting to see on the line. Now you know my

83
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: guess is that Joe Haig, who has been active the

84
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, would likely be inactive this week

85
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: and then we'll see what Chris Hubbard's status is as well.

86
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: Yesterday when coaches talking about miles and he kept saying

87
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll see, we'll see. On Miles Um, the

88
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: one thing he said was, you know, the next man up,

89
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 1: and actually wrote down in our show prep yesterday I

90
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: just wrote next man up doesn't apply to miles. There

91
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: is no next man up. There's nobody who's eighty percent

92
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: of him. There's nobody on this roster who's seventy of them.

93
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: He is on his own island. There are four or

94
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: five non quarterbacks in the league that are that guy.

95
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: He's that guy and there is no way to go.

96
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: So the fact that he's toughen it out, gutting it out,

97
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: probably in some pain with the neck that he's battling

98
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: through and playing on a Thursday night and a must win.

99
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: That matters. It matters in a big way. And the

100
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: Converse for the steelers is that t j watt is

101
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: also that guy. There is he's one of the five right,

102
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: one of them, those guys. So here was something in

103
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: my in my prep I was getting. I was looking.

104
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: steelers have played five games without T J watsons. They

105
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: drafted him in two thousand seventeen. You know their record

106
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: in those five games and five t j watt to

107
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: their defense. Him being there is worth negative five point

108
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: four points a game. He's almost worth a touchdown. I'll

109
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: say he's almost worth a touchdown. On defense. He's worth

110
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: negative fifty yards of offense and he is worth two

111
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: sacks a game just his presence. They average two sex

112
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: more per game with him on that defense. And five

113
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: and a half points doesn't make sense for a defensive player.

114
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: It's it's an outrageous number. So they have never won

115
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: without him. He had last year four sacks against the

116
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: Browns on that Monday night football game. Twenty two and

117
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: a half sex led the NFL. And how about this

118
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: step Pittsburgh in week one against the Cincinnati bengals. In

119
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: that week one game they had seven sacks, twenty two

120
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: quarterback pressures and five takeaways. Seven sacks, twenty two pressures

121
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: and five takeaways without him. Last week against New England,

122
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: no sacks, two quarterback pressures in the entire game and

123
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: they did have one takeaway. MINKA got Mac Jones early

124
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 1: in that one. Pittsburgh has only had three games without

125
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: a sack since two thousand and seventeen. Two of those

126
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: happened with T J watt on the sidelines, Big Bigley

127
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 1: not having him there and US having miles there. So

128
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: great news there. This just an awkward Arning on twitter

129
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: for Adam Schefter. So initially tweeting, Um, that Joe Hayden

130
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: is retiring to sign a one day contract with the steelers.

131
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: So that was the first tweet that I saw. You

132
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: didn't see this. I never knew that part. So that's

133
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,679
Speaker 1: the very first tweet that he sent out this morning.

134
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: Is I was, you know, preparing for other things. Was

135
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: Joe Hayden to Steelers Jersey saying that he's signing a

136
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: one day contract to retire as a steeler. So that

137
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: was the first one. That was then deleted and then

138
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: a second tweet went up saying that he is retiring,

139
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: will sign a one day contract to retire as a brown.

140
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: So the clarification I did on the tweets happened. Um,

141
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: there was all this conversation that he was gonna that

142
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: this was gonna Happen Thursday and he was going to

143
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: be there for the game and it didn't make sense

144
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: to me as I was taking it all in because

145
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: while I know, I'm sure he preferred his time in

146
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: Cleveland and I know how much he adores the browns

147
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: and I can't think of anybody honestly, who's wrapped their

148
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: arms around this city like Joe Hayden did. And you

149
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: were here during that time, but just from afar. I'll

150
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: never forget when we did the new uniforms, he had

151
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: the number one selling Jersey in the NFL the first

152
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: time through. I was doing docket a show an indie

153
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: and he we were talking about Buckeye basketball or something.

154
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: At the end he goes, you might have asked you

155
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: a Brown's question and I said yeah, and so he

156
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: asked me about Hayden and I said well, that's how

157
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: popular that fan base is. They got new uniforms. It's

158
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: either him or Joe Thomas and it's easier to sell

159
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: a little kid on a corner than a left tackle.

160
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: It's kind of that simple. That's how it happened, but

161
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: was stupefying that the number one Jersey in all of

162
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: the NFL. That being said, I didn't I thought that

163
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: was that's awkward that he would then be here after

164
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: playing five years there for like his last go and

165
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: it felt awkward because it was. It was awkward. So

166
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: schefter put out a tweet that says Hay Hayden will

167
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: be honor during Thursday night's game. That's not happening. Yeah,

168
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: I didn't seem like it felt odd, like I don't

169
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: know that he has been fast. Yeah, and I don't

170
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: know that he would have. It felt to me like

171
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 1: he would have an animist towards the steelers, which I

172
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: don't believe that there is correct. I think you put

173
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: him in an awkward spot. You put the fans in

174
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: an all cord spot right said why just don't and

175
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: they're not correct and there won't be any of that. And,

176
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: by the way, the guy did a lot of good

177
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: for us here on the field and off the field,

178
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 1: and I think that, you know, everybody wants to put

179
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: something together that properly recognizes him and his efforts. Yeah, yes,

180
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: and he doesn't want to. Probably liked his time in

181
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh too, like at the time. That's something you could

182
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: just do right away. You could correct me. I mean

183
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: I think he would have loved to play his entire

184
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: career here. It didn't work that. It didn't work that way,

185
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: but he's still landed over there and was a part

186
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: of some really good teams and was really good for

187
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: the steelers and probably enjoyed his time there too. So

188
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: I the whole thing was off, and indeed, in fact

189
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: it was. How do you get that wrong? I don't know.

190
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: He just social media sometimes has been tricky for him.

191
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: He's had some misses. Um, yeah, I'm I'm kind of

192
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 1: I'm not the lete tweet guy. Unless it's something I

193
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: just you know, I spell something wrong or something like that,

194
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: I tend to just live with it. I think you

195
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: one thing. You have the only thing, I would say,

196
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: from his position, and you see it with like Shams

197
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: and yeah, I blew it. I botched that, but I

198
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: think you see it with Shams and wo Jan Schefter

199
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: and all of the NFL guys that are kind of

200
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: fighting for that passing on the MLB side, there is

201
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: this for them. It's kind of the last the last

202
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: place where it matters to be first. It feels like

203
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: his twitter and it matters more to them than I

204
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: think it does to the twitter. Nobody else cares about it.

205
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 1: There was a time we're being first really mattered. I

206
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: don't think it does anymore. So it's really a matter

207
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: of those reporters on twitter. Matters just to them and

208
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: maybe he just rushed it. Agreed. Yeah, by the way,

209
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: I G I don't know if you guys know this

210
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: or not, but video, let's not half, according to the

211
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: official Nana. Sorry Nana, one of these, it says, live

212
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: on our end. But such a Well oiled machine. The

213
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: did you guys see? Did you see the have you

214
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: guys seen this video of Eli Manning? It's great. Did

215
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: you watch it? So I've seen like four different clips.

216
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: My question was who was in on it from the beginning?

217
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: The head coach at Penn State and Franklin was in

218
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: on it. That's it, because like, yeah, look this guy's footwork.

219
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 1: He looks like I mean it was of course it's Elne,

220
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 1: like pretty obvious. It was a pretty bad costume. It

221
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: was a great costume. So a couple of things. He

222
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: continues to not be able to act. No, he's really

223
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: bad at it, like he can't, it's so forced. Him

224
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: and Franklin's lines together were forced. But in terms of

225
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: the ruse Um, so he went to a guy named

226
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: Chad powers. Here was the mistake that I thought Ela

227
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: made in this thing. Now it's it's really good, but

228
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: I think it could have been even better. He he

229
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: tried too hard. He shouldn't have run a five, six forty.

230
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: He should have ran like a six, five forty. He

231
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 1: shouldn't have acted like he had all the footwork and

232
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: all the mechanics. He should have just shown glimpses of them,

233
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:04,359
Speaker 1: Hannics of the footwork. He looked like a pro quarterback immediately,

234
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: like he was. The stuff he's doing with his pop

235
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: and his hips and all that stuff like that's pro

236
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: quarterback stuff, like no guy who's never played organized football

237
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 1: be able to do that. He should have he should

238
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: have accentuated the more raw stuff that potentially you could have,

239
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: like the arm strength. And even in the video he's

240
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: like telling him what routes to run, like he should

241
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: have just said just go over there, I'll throw it

242
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 1: over there like that type of stuff first. Then it

243
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: would have landed better. I think you figured out relatively quickly. Well,

244
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: as the viewer, you did. The thing that was stupefying

245
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: to me, though, is that it didn't feel like the

246
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: guys that weren't and not we're like, Oh my God,

247
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: we've got to get this guy, like immediately. One guy

248
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: was kind of like, Oh yeah, I think I see

249
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: something in this kid. I think I see something in

250
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: that powers. Like, dude, he's a multiple time super bowl

251
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: winning quarterback, and if that's not that obvious, that would

252
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: freak me out. It would freak me out to also

253
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: he's six five pounds and throwing rockets. Like if you

254
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: can't identify that immediately, like I I you would think

255
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: like if you didn't know who it was, he walks

256
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: in he starts spinning it, you would be like whoa coach,

257
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: Franklin coach down we got before anybody else gets out

258
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: about this powers. But they weren't even know. They're kind

259
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: of non like he wasn't infinitely better than whoever they're

260
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: starting quarterback is right now. It's Sean Clifford. So then

261
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 1: I started thinking about this. How high. What a forty

262
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: one year old Eli Manning, who was actually, let's say

263
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: he's actually twenty two. So a forty one year old

264
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: skill set. Eli Manning deteriorated from when he was the

265
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: number one overall pick in the draft. Man a man

266
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: who forty one. You're a man, you're forty. I'm a man,

267
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: I'm forty. You know, everything hurts more now. Um, but what?

268
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: Where would he be drafted in this year's draft? With

269
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 1: a forty one year old Eli Manning Skill set? He

270
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: would be the guy that would be a team would

271
00:13:55,360 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: take like a that was ready already made team. Now, remember,

272
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: he's not forty one years old. He just has the

273
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: skill set of a forty one year old. Yeah, I

274
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: think already made team would take him in the like

275
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: second or third round. Right now, I think he's better

276
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: than Kenny Pickett for one year. Yeah, but you don't

277
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: know that he's gonna deterior you don't know that he's

278
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: forty one of the deterioration is going to continue to go.

279
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: You're saying he's Chad. I'm saying he's Chad powers. He's

280
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: twenty two, but he has forty one year old Eli

281
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: manning skills. I think he's a first round pick. Oh yeah, yeah,

282
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: not forty one year old Eli. Man, I'm saying he's

283
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: actually twenty two, but he has all of the skills.

284
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: And Forty one year old Eli, not twenty two year

285
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: old Eli. Well, yeah, because then, as a twenty two

286
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: year old he can still improve those skills. He's going

287
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: to improve that strength. Ye, he's a first round pick.

288
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: He's a top. He's a top. Yeah, he's a ever.

289
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: C J Stroud could be number one. Yeah, I would

290
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: have been the first quarterback off the board. Yeah, it

291
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: was fun. That was that was that was cool to

292
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: see and, if I'm with you, it was stupid playing.

293
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: You know, we may have something here. Yeah, I don't say.

294
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: What do you mean? You're not watching Sanford every day

295
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: like this, Dude. It needs to be starting for us

296
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: right now, this week in central bus. That's what I

297
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: don't that's to me. That was the biggest yeah, that

298
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: they weren't more wild by. Yes, yeah, those traits are

299
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: pretty unique. That's talking about. There's Herbie. Oh Yeah, there is.

300
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: Some of the first radio ever did in Columbus was

301
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: with Mr Herb Street right there. Um, all right, lots

302
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: to get to on the program today. We will go

303
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: around the NFL. Will Continue to get to set for

304
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: our game against the steelers coming up there. He is

313
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: we go around the NFL, Mike Evans One game suspense

314
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: has been up held. Of course, why wouldn't? Of course

315
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: it would be up heeled. He was officially missed Sunday's

316
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: game against the packers. The NFL announced this yesterday. I

317
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: don't understand what the other option was. Of course, no

318
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: surprise there at all, Um. The NFL also warned a

319
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: letter to former bucks head coach Bruce Arians who stood

320
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: in the white stripe reserved for officials, players and coaches

321
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: during the brawl. What was he doing there? Why was

322
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: he even on the sideline? I have no idea. He's

323
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: like a senior consultant. Yeah, the only thing I could

324
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 1: think of is Um the only thing I could think of.

325
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: So if Brady, if Brady orchestrates, has moved to Miami,

326
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: if he is allowed to, whether he I don't know.

327
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: Did you think that he just thought the bucks would

328
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: trade him to Miami or that they would somehow, because

329
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 1: even in a release situation they would still retain his rights?

330
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: I don't know what what was he thinking? Okay, so

331
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: it would have required the bucks to trade him to Tampa.

332
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: Arians at the combine says we're not trading Tom for anything.

333
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: The End. Chronologically, I think I have this right. Brady,

334
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: at this point is retired. Then all of a sudden

335
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: shows up at Man United, his kids, meeting Christiano Ronaldo,

336
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: owned by the Glazers. He's gonna stay, gonna play another

337
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: year for the bucks. Arians is now out out. Brady

338
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: doesn't want any part of Arians. So Arians is out,

339
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: but yet he still has a lot of power over

340
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 1: everybody else in the organization. Oh my God, you want

341
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: a super bowl. So he's kind of hanging around. It

342
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: seems very odd. I don't like the VIBE with them? Man, no,

343
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: they they don't look they don't look great. But again,

344
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: let's go back to the year they won the Super Bowl.

345
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 1: They did not look great. They were drubbed by the packers.

346
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: Say swipt him twice, and then they didn't lose again. No,

347
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 1: I know, but this feels a little different. I agree

348
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,959
Speaker 1: with you. From an off field stamp, they're not impressive

349
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: right now. No, they're not. Dolphins quarterback to a Tong, Aboloa,

350
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: chiefs Corner Jalen Watson, jets Punter Brendan man named a

351
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: F C players of the week. I'm Ron St Brown,

352
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: Darius slay, Graham Gano named NFC players of the week.

353
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: Have you had a chance to take a look at

354
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: what mcdaniel is doing with the dolphins in terms of

355
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: what just schematically, what he's doing with wattle and Hill?

356
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: I did not get, not much chance to watch. I

357
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: know you're bid. You've got a lot going on. So

358
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: you knew him obviously well here and liked him a lot.

359
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 1: and Um, you know the tree with which he is.

360
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 1: He was he was, he was berthed his so tyreek

361
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 1: hill is a weapon into itself in the NFL. I

362
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,239
Speaker 1: think we can all argue that there's nobody close to that.

363
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 1: If there is somebody close to that, Jalen waddle's probably it.

364
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: WATTLE is awesome. He's down on him. WHO's the Hell's

365
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: down on him? How could you be? He's probably he

366
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: might be the second fastest guy in the league and

367
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: he's a great route runner. He's a perfect compliment to

368
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 1: tyree hill. Okay, great, so he's got two of them.

369
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: So what mcdaniel is doing a lot on offense is

370
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: he is putting them in motion and in a sense

371
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: they're almost getting like a five yard head start on

372
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: their routes like the CFL. Yeah, so he's he's getting

373
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: this momentum for the two of them running routes and

374
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: they are at times eight yards clear of people, and

375
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: you'd be right to be curious if, if TWA could

376
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: make some of the throws that are being required because

377
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 1: they are having to wait. There's no question they're having

378
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: a weight around, but they are so clear that it

379
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 1: almost doesn't matter. It's really they are a fascinating team.

380
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 1: To Watch them in Buffalo this week is pretty good. Yeah,

381
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be. That's a good game. Remember they smoked

382
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: the Patriots in week one. They made an unbelievable comeback

383
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: against the Ravens in week two. They're a team that's

384
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: got a very good defense through the Miami Dolphins. And

385
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: guess what, nobody else is like Lamar Jackson. So Lamar

386
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: gave them problems. You could say Jalen hurts what? Josh

387
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: Allen certainly is a very capable runner as a quarterback,

388
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: but in a very different style. And so that'll be

389
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a fun one. That's a

390
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: that's a fun game. That's a and off the top

391
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: of my where's that being played? It is in Miami.

392
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: They both, I think, bills. Guess the lines? Minus two, six. What? Six? Wow,

393
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: that's a big line. Yeah, Oh boy, yeah, little little preview.

394
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: There's a lot of big ones. Um, I mean, you

395
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: think about this. The bengals are Oh and two at

396
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: the jets five point favorites. They're five on that. I'm

397
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 1: just going through like Games of consequence too. Oh, into

398
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: two teams that neither thought they would be, raiders and titans.

399
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: One of those two teams is gonna be owing three. Okay,

400
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 1: hold on, where is that one? That's in Nashville. In

401
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: Nashville raiders, minus four two. Chiefs at Colts. This line

402
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: doesn't seem big enough to make chiefs at Colts. Okay,

403
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: you give me a little bit of Hin, little lead. Chiefs,

404
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: minus six and a half. Nailed it. Nailed it. Okay, okay, well,

405
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: I would have gone over seven, but once you said that,

406
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 1: it feels like they're trying to they want that. So

407
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, why do they want people on? It's got

408
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: to be just under a touchdown. Okay, that's why I

409
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: got that. We mentioned the bills. One huge game in

410
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: the NFC. North to one and one team's giants, Or,

411
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Vikings and lions where mini? Vikings? Minus Five, six,

412
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: Oh ye, did you think that's high? I think it's

413
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 1: I think it's a little I would have been closer.

414
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: You would have been four and a half area something

415
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: like that. Um, you like the vikings a little more

416
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: than I do and I probably like the lions a

417
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: little more than you do. Um, Ravens at Patriots to

418
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: one and one team's at Foxboro Baltimore. Minus three. Nailed it.

419
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: Good job at of you to you gotta be on guests,

420
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: to say you're right. Yeah, I mean this could be

421
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: a retribution after all of the terrible things he said. Um, Eagles,

422
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: I would say. I had a tweet attacks ready to

423
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 1: fire off to the COUZ. By the way, when ready,

424
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: I'm paused for a few days, I can send it.

425
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,959
Speaker 1: I'll send it. Thursday night. chargers are hosting the Jaguars

426
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: to one and one teams in l a. That might

427
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: be a game where you could buy a ticket for

428
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: eight bucks. That feels like a standard seven to me.

429
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: Nailed it, Um, this is really impressive what you're doing here.

430
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 1: Ramsy cardinals to one and one teams in this one

431
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: in Arizona, in Glendale, Rams and cardinals, rams, minus two,

432
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: three and a half for the RAMMYS. Just Ram it.

433
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: Uh Boy, here's your poopoo platter. Falcons at seahawks. She's seahawks.

434
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: Minus three two, pretty close packs it. Bucks in Tampo,

435
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: in Tampa, no, Mike Evans, Tampa, minus one, one, point five.

436
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: This is surprising to me. Broncos hosting the forty niners Denver.

437
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 1: Plus one, plus one and a half. Yep, you didn't

438
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: really get a job on the yeah, I like the

439
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 1: niners there. Okay, did you see the half leave right now.

440
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: You should feeling great. Well, I'll go with you. Did

441
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: you see Um? Did you see the people? They're more

442
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: than capable. Did you see the the half Badger on

443
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 1: Badger Crime, on Russ Wells? Oh, what did he say

444
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: about him? So that video of and Hafs, like I'm paraphrasing,

445
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure it's something the effective. I'm not

446
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: sure I've seen anything like this. And then, like in

447
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: Pop Warner, like in so and then he goes, I'm

448
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: not even sure this is going to do any good,

449
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: because it's not. He has on a play action so

450
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 1: he kind of calls out all of it, but it's

451
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 1: Badger on Badger crime, by the way, whole pack, Russell Wilson,

452
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: whole pack of badgers and his last one. And he

453
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: says this. Kyle Shanahan was our office coordinator. We had

454
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 1: the best play action fakes in the NFL. We he

455
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 1: would tell the offensive line that we needed to make

456
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 1: it look exactly like the run and if we did,

457
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: he would never blame a sack on us. Zero Chiens,

458
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: people from the sideline would have been able to tell

459
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: if it was a runner pass exactly. It's not that easy. No,

460
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: you're not like in the Bield who seeing there? No,

461
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 1: I actually hand the ball off run. You're on the sideline,

462
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 1: and I can say this is someone who has been

463
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: on the sideline and in certain parts of the field,

464
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: I'm closer to the action that is happening than the

465
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: players on the sideline. They were confined between like the thirties.

466
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 1: By the time you identify it's a pass, it's too

467
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: late and they're not listening. No, have you ever watched?

468
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,160
Speaker 1: There's the thing. Have you ever watched? You have. I'm

469
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: saying this is like the royal we like coaches trying

470
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 1: to get communication to players on the sideline. They are

471
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 1: screaming and they're their coaches waving their arms trying to

472
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: get their attention because it's an NFL stadium. And the

473
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: notion that like guys going Rud and the linebacks, Oh yeah, okay,

474
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: go get him now, like it's insane. It's bizarre and

475
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 1: like I went, he might be like, dude, what are

476
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: you doing? How about you watch? You should be looking

477
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: at your surface film and figure out how to be better.

478
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 1: And instead of doing this, how about you spend time

479
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 1: next to Nathaniel Heck? It going like this. Play Javante

480
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: three is good, better than even though he's Albright's neighbor.

481
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: Better five and a half yards that carry. Do you

482
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: think it's possible now that you've because you've had a

483
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: chance to see some of the mismanager from hacking in

484
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: week two. So that's two weeks in a row where

485
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: he's just lost, is it? Is it too much of

486
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 1: a stretch to say they hired him as an effort

487
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: to lure Aaron Rodgers because of their close relationship? That

488
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 1: was very well reported, that that Rogers liked to hacking

489
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: a lot, that they hired him to lure Rogers to Denver,

490
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 1: only for Rogers to stay in Green Bay. And now

491
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 1: you're stuck with this guy. They still get Wilson Um,

492
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: but now you're stuck with a guy who to me

493
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: seems ill equipped for the job. I mean I don't

494
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 1: think they would be wrong to just be like, we

495
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 1: got this wrong, he's out after two weeks. I wouldn't

496
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: Sean Payton, you want to come in here and try

497
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: to take this over. For the rest, wouldn't it be

498
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: like the dream for Sean Payton to go to Denver

499
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 1: and run that operation with Russell Wilson? I mean, I

500
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 1: think so, but that's what I would be doing. I mean,

501
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: that guy is he is, he is bad. The other

502
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: problem is is that I think that the quarterbacks it

503
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 1: feels like he's declining a little bit. I don't. And

504
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: he is a bizarre different cat, brother, different cat. Yeah,

505
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: how interesting, how bizarre, very very all right. Coming up

506
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 1: next we go one on one with Greg newsome from

530
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: just start and get this over with. We can move

531
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: forward real quickly. You guys, watch the tape. You know

532
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: what you have to clean up. What was kind of

533
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: the tone and the kind of the messaging in your

534
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: meeting room, in your position room, to get this fixed

535
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: so that we can go take care of business like

536
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,479
Speaker 1: we know we can. Um is honestly just, you know,

537
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: have practice, beat a game, you know, when we go

538
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: through walkthroughs. Have it be crisp, have it be sound,

539
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: have everyone you know paying attention and, you know, really

540
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: just to lock in. I feel like if we do

541
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,239
Speaker 1: that is it should be an easy fix. Are we

542
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: like with the hand signals. I saw that a walk

543
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: gave the hand signal and most everybody got it on

544
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 1: that one play. Is there now kind of something in place, like,

545
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: all right, everybody acknowledges the hand signals or anything like that? Yeah,

546
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: we're just gonna try to, you know, over communicate. So corners,

547
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: look at safety, safety, look at Corner Mike, look at

548
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: a lot like everything. So you know, that's just what

549
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna try to do. You don't want to put

550
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: too many signals on tape all the time as well either,

551
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: because then you know, obviously the offense may know, but

552
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: you know, we gotta find some way. We're still trying

553
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: to figure it out. Of You know, I'm not necessarily

554
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: having hand signals every week, but just making sure we

555
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: actually make eye contact when we're talking to each other.

556
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: All right. So that's gonna get cleaned up. And now

557
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: this defense has an opportunity. Is We've talked about the

558
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: beginning of year to be special. We've seen flashes of

559
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: that through two weeks. When you guys kind of go

560
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: back and watch yourselves, take those blown plays out of it.

561
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: That doesn't matter. What have you seen in the regular

562
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: defense that you like and what have you seen that

563
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: you guys want to improve? I feel like we're elite,

564
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: you know, other than those, like you said, those busted coverages,

565
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: I feel like we've been playing great football, Um, you know,

566
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: even week two, obviously, you know, he ended with three

567
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 1: hundred some yards. The first half he had a hundred yards,

568
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: like we just gotta clean up some stuff, and most

569
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: of that came in the fourth quarter. Then, you know,

570
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: you go back to week one once again, didn't really

571
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: have the many yards. Blown coverage, a lot of yards.

572
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: So I think we've been doing a lot of things

573
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: great Um, but at the end of the day, you

574
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: gotta stay consistent, Um, and you gotta, you know, do

575
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,959
Speaker 1: it for four quarters. You can't do it for three quarters.

576
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: You can't do it for three quarters in ten minutes.

577
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: You gotta play the whole, you know, sixty minute football game.

578
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: So that's what we're looking to accomplish next. All right,

579
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: the next opportunity comes with the Pittsburgh steelers coming to

580
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: town Thursday night back at home, and last year, look,

581
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: you guys had a rough one and then he had

582
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: a Thursday night against Denver that came right after it.

583
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: We're able to get it done. How do you kind

584
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: of draw on that, turn the page and get ready

585
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: for a big game? Man, steelers week. Um, so I

586
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: think it's it's pretty easy. You know, if if you're

587
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: not hype, you know, you know the history between the

588
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: browns and the steelers, so if you're not hyped to

589
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: play in that game, you're not gonna be hyped to play. Um,

590
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: it's like rivalry reek and UH in college. So Uh,

591
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: you know, we're super high. We know our fans would

592
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: be there to support us. Um, you know, we're just

593
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: looking to go get that. Similar to the jets, who

594
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: I thought had a very good receiving trio with Elijah Moore,

595
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: Corey Davis and then Garrett Wilson. So do the seelers,

596
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: deonte Johnson, chase Claypol the rookie George Pickens, good tight

597
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: end friar muth. How do you guys kind of prepare

598
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: for that group and and some of the new things

599
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: they're doing this year? Yeah, you know, it's just you know,

600
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: watch film. Obviously is a short week, so you know

601
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: you gotta really get on your film study as much

602
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: as you can and you know, at the end of

603
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: the day you gotta just do our job and, as

604
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: you know, contest balls and, you know, win our one

605
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: on once. That that's the message when your one on one,

606
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: because obviously it's more of a short week, so it's

607
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: hard to, you know, get in all the film that

608
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: you normally get in in a full week's time. So

609
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: you know, at the end of the day, you know

610
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: it might be some stuff that we don't see, that

611
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: we don't game plan, but at the end of the

612
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: day we gotta Win our one on one. Deonte Johnson

613
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: is one of the better route runners in the league

614
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: and the guy who can create separation. What makes him

615
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: so tough to deal with? Yes, first of all, he's not,

616
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: you know, that big receiver, so that's already a challenge

617
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: in himself. He's already lower than you, uh, as hard

618
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: as to put hands on a guy like that. He's

619
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: super quick. He's super fast, Um, and I said last

620
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: year I feel like he's the best one that I

621
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: want against last year. So, Um, he's definitely a great

622
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: receiver and you know, we're looking forward to that match up.

623
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: When you watch them and the things that you have watched,

624
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: feels like a lot of misdirection, a lot of jets,

625
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: a lot of trying to flow you one way get

626
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: the ball back the other way. What what's different about

627
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: that from what you've seen in the past with the

628
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: steelers offense? Yeah, Um, you know, big Ben wasn't as

629
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: mobile as Mitch. So Um, it's a lot more you know,

630
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: boots and things like that and letting mischie get out

631
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: of the pocket. Uh. So that's something you definitely got

632
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: to prepare for. And then, I mean it's kind of

633
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: sort of like the jets offense. A lot of you know,

634
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: stuff to get your eyes in the wrong, you know

635
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: position and then try to work after that. So Um,

636
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: at the end of the day we're gonna IT'S gonna

637
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: be a real game to show our communication is there

638
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: and you know, our eyes are good. All right, and

639
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: I know that it's going to be. Let's talk just

640
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: for a second about you guys in there in that room.

641
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: Did you guys come together at all and say look,

642
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: we're too good for this, like we we know how

643
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: talented we are. We gotta go out there and prove it. Oh,

644
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: for sure. Yeah, we had a defensive meeting before, you know,

645
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: full defensive meeting. We had a player's meeting, Um, and

646
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: just talk about things, Um, and I think the best

647
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: part about it all, honestly, is, you know, people are

648
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: mad about stuff like that. You know, there are some

649
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 1: teams who, you know, are used to that, like we're

650
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: not used to that, and we see all the talent

651
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: that we have in the room. So things like that.

652
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: It should hurt us and you know, and we should

653
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: be mad about it, but I think we'll get it

654
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 1: fixed and it's it's only week two. That's that's the

655
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: you know, good thing about it and you know, the

656
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: fact that people are that mad this early is honestly

657
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: a positive sign. It shows that people are bought in

658
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 1: and know that we have a really good football team

659
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: and we have a chance to prove it on Thursday night.

660
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 1: For sure we will do that. Great thinks so much

661
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: of the time. Good luck, appreciate it. Good stuff there

662
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: with Greg Yeah, now you're going there, you go, good

663
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: stuff that. That's even on us. That was the third party.

664
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 1: That wasn't even a lights issue on that one, my friend. Um.

665
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: All right, the browns defense versus steelers offense. It is

666
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 1: your matchup today. It's brought to you by evolved technology,

667
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: of all technology powers, BEST IN CLASS SECURITY FOR THE

668
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:07,959
Speaker 1: CLEVELAND Browns. Doctor Z alright, steeler's offense right now, led

669
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: by Mitch Drabinski. That's we said right. Steeler's offense been

670
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 1: two hundred yards passing in both games. You look at

671
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: their numbers for the year, they are averaging four point

672
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: eight yards per pass attempt. That is worst in the NFL.

673
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: Three point eight yards per rush, four point three yards

674
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 1: per play, again one of the worst numbers in the

675
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:31,839
Speaker 1: entire national football league. It is insane how bad they've been.

676
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 1: Third worst in yards per play. Just dreadful. I mean

677
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,760
Speaker 1: they're they've been a dreadful offensive football team. Mitch Drobisky

678
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,760
Speaker 1: cannot complete passes of more than ten yards in the air.

679
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: Thirty three of his completions have come in fewer than

680
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: ten yards, within ten yards of the the line of scrimmage.

681
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: Not afraid to check it down. Nagy Harris is averaging

682
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: two point nine yards to carry this year. Um, and

683
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: here's a crazy thing. So Naji Harris last year leads

684
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 1: the NFL and touches and snaps almost seventeen hundred total yards.

685
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 1: Ten touchdowns his since he's coming to the League's average

686
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: four point three yards per touch which is the worst

687
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 1: among the twenty players who have the most touches in

688
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: the NFL. Their line has two new starters. Mason Cole

689
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: comes via the Minnesota Vikings. He's the new center. James

690
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 1: Daniels from Chicago, former second round pick of Chicago in

691
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: two thousand and eighteen, signed a three year, twenty six

692
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: point five million dollar deal. He is the right guard.

693
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 1: He's had a pretty good uh year so far, especially

694
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,800
Speaker 1: against the pass, but they can't push anybody in the

695
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: run game. Dan Moore Jr is their left tackle, fourth

696
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 1: rounder last year. In eighteen games last year gave up

697
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 1: seven sacks and forty six pressures. Miles Garrett should be

698
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 1: able to have his way with Dan Moore than they've

699
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 1: got Kevin Dotson and Okara four as the right tackles

700
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: actually played pretty well. Pat friarmouth touchdown last week against

701
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: New England. He's had seven touchdowns in his rookie year.

702
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: He's got nine catches ninety seven yards. Then you go

703
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: out to the receivers and this is where they're very

704
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: dangerous and all the talk coming out of Pittsburgh Right

705
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 1: now is how they've got to get these guys more involved.

706
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,959
Speaker 1: Chase claypool eight catches, forty four yards. That's five point

707
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: five a catch. Deonte has more targets, receptions and yards

708
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,399
Speaker 1: and all other wide receivers combined. He's got thirteen catches,

709
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: a hundred twelve yards so far. Thousand Yard Guy last year,

710
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: and you heard Greg just say is the best receiver

711
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: face in which covers a lot of ground. To be honest,

712
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 1: pickens only two catches for twenty six yards. He's apparently

713
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: frustrated already. So they've got to find ways to get

714
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: them involved. And here's the thing that's so odd to me,

715
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: and it was out I was talking with Charles Davis,

716
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: who called the game. Four CBS bolt stealers games so far.

717
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: They are insistent on putting chase claypool in the slot. Why?

718
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: They want to have him involved in their run game. Okay,

719
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: he's got six rushes for thirty six yards. All came

720
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: in week one against Cincinnati. But let me ask you

721
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: a question. Do you have a six guy who runs

722
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 1: a four, four forty? What are you worried about him

723
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 1: doing running down the sideline and they throw the ball

724
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 1: up to him? He had eight hundred plus yards in

725
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: both of his seasons, eleven touchdowns, fourteen yards a catch,

726
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: and they've had the brilliant idea to put him in

727
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 1: the slot and when they go to three receivers sets,

728
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 1: he stays in the slot. Deante is playing outside with

729
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: George pickens. It feels like Deante Johnson, three shifty great

730
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 1: route runner, would be perfect in the slide and you

731
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,280
Speaker 1: have two giants and six, three picking six for Claypool

732
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,479
Speaker 1: on the outside, like it just doesn't make sense. Maybe

733
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 1: they'll fix this. Drabinsky is saying I'm gonna throw the

734
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: ball down the field more. You know they're gonna move

735
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: the pocket, but last week on passes the ten yards

736
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: in the year, five of twelve, seventy four yards and

737
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 1: an interception. They just have not been a good offense

738
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,399
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of talk now that look, if

739
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: it doesn't get going here soon, it's Kenny pickt time

740
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: and in fact as soon as next week it could

741
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: be Kenny pick at time if the browns handle the

742
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 1: steelers here and Drabinsky has another game on par with

743
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: what he's done so far this season. So why would

744
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 1: you um? It was like Mitch Drabinski is in the

745
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 1: brochure of core. He is what you know that he

746
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 1: is like. It's he's not going to be something different

747
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 1: in your offense. But we talked about this at the combine.

748
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 1: Here's a guy that after people watched him as a starter,

749
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 1: and a win starter, by the way. You know, you

750
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 1: look at his career, eleven or something like that for

751
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: his career as a starter, and team said the best

752
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: contract you're getting in the NFL, my friend, is one

753
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: year to be a backup for like three million dollars

754
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: in buffalo and then you don't play any games at

755
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 1: all and now we're going to make you a starting

756
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: quarterback again and expected to be a whole new experience. Okay,

757
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: somebody had changed nothing and it's looking very much like

758
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:38,320
Speaker 1: Mr robisky looks and and this is a team again

759
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: that obviously they're going with Kenny Picktt, but this is

760
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 1: a team that Ryan Dannehill would be excellent on. It's

761
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: just funny, though. You look at like last year, right

762
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: against us in the two games. Nag rushes nine yards,

763
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: rushes a hundred eighty eight yards. Is the best game

764
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 1: on that Monday nighter in Pittsburgh. They haven't run for

765
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: a hundred yards a team in four straight games they

766
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: haven't run for a hundred yards. Is A team in

767
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: four straight games. That's the fourth longest streak in the

768
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: second longest streak in the NFL. If you can't stretch

769
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: it and you're not great up front, it's hard to

770
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 1: run on nine man fronts and eight man fronts, and

771
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 1: that's what Naji is having to run into. Uh, this

772
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: is a lot of what ails us. They provide a

773
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: lixir because Matt Canada's offense is one of horizontal. They

774
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: were on all these jet sweeps. They try to throw

775
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: it out. The problem is, when that stuff was really

776
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: in vogue a decade ago, you had a lot of

777
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:38,919
Speaker 1: plotting linebackers. Not any more. You don't anymore. linebackers run

778
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: like safety's used to. So when you think about J

779
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 1: OK and Anthony Walker Jr and you think about their

780
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 1: ability to go sideline to sideline, it fits right into

781
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,879
Speaker 1: what Pittsburgh's trying to do. There like a decade late

782
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 1: with this Um. So you should be able to eat

783
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,959
Speaker 1: that up. The fact that you have miles beck is huge.

784
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 1: RABIS is not able to stretch the field offensively, so

785
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: it's really just tackle in space and you should be

786
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 1: pretty good now. You've gotta be careful, though, because I

787
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: too I do believe that he is going to. I

788
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 1: think he knows it's this or not and I think

789
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna throw the ball. I know he's going to

790
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 1: throw it a lot. I just don't know that there's

791
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 1: the ability to make you pay unless you do the

792
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 1: bus like two weeks. So as long as that doesn't happen,

793
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 1: it feels like this could be a bit of a

794
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: slog for the steniors, for the steelers. offensively. What changes

795
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: need to be made for the defense for the Browns

796
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: to win tomorrow? No bus. If you don't have the bus,

797
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 1: you're two and oh and it's not particularly close if

798
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: you don't have the bus. Um, what matchup will you

799
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 1: be paying close attention to? Gibby wants to know. Um,

800
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 1: I mean I think the obvious one is our corners.

801
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: Of It gets their receivers, but I don't know that

802
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: they have an ability to press the ball down the

803
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: field the way that that you would hope. I think

804
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: that you're watching a couple of things. So you're watching

805
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 1: our ability to get to the quarterback. So our ends,

806
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: miles and Alex Right now, and Rochelle and Isaiah Thomas,

807
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: our ends against their tackles. I like and then our

808
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 1: interior guys maintaining the line of scrimmage. I think part

809
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 1: of it's there. And then it's I'd include friar mouth.

810
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: It's our corners and our safeties against their talented, you know,

811
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 1: pass catchers, and that's really that's it. That's what the

812
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 1: matchup is here. By the way, here's a little fun,

813
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 1: a little trivia that I came across. There are two

814
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: receivers in the NFL, two receivers in the NFL who

815
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: have five or more catches and at least ten straight games.

816
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 1: One of them is deonte Johnson, fourteen straight games with

817
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: five or more catches. The other Cooper Cup, at five

818
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:37,800
Speaker 1: stretch with five or more catches. But Not Davonte Adams,

819
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: not Stefon Diggs, deonte Johnson and Cooper Cup. There you go.

820
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 1: The biggest challenge facing the defense. It's just don't but

821
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: it's just don't blow it's it. Don't blow it, you

822
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 1: blew it, boy, we can't have that. Can't blow it. Uh,

823
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: you stay disciplined, you handle your business, you get him

824
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:56,760
Speaker 1: off the field. Um, I like I like Nanj a lot,

825
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 1: but with with what he's run up against this offense,

826
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 1: it's just there's. It's there's. It's not tough sledding. There's

827
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 1: no sledding. There's not much there. Um. So as long

828
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 1: as you you gang tackle him a little bit, because

829
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 1: he's a bit of a force, but he's ailing to

830
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 1: he hads a foot. He's dealing with the LIZ frank thing.

831
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: So Um, that's that's worth monitoring as well. Miles playing

832
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: in this game is an absolute game changer, needless to say,

833
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: because he is a one man wrecking ball and I

834
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,879
Speaker 1: think it says a lot about his given damn level

835
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 1: his heart that he is. He's not right and he's

836
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 1: going because it's a must win type game for us

837
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: and it's got to we need it. He's got to

838
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: do it and he's gonna give it a go. So

839
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: that's good. By the way. One thing about our defense

840
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:37,919
Speaker 1: real quickly. I think it's it's fun to point things

841
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 1: out like this. The Brown's defense has you go to

842
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 1: edge rushers. This is pro football focus. We've got the

843
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 1: number two graded edge rusher in the NFL, which is

844
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 1: myles Garrett. Number one is Micah Parsons. So it goes

845
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons, Miles Garrett von Miller. Are Your top three.

846
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 1: You go to the linebacking position, Jeremiah's Cormo is the

847
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: number one line cker in the NFL. Anthony Walker Jr

848
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: is the number three linebacker in the NFL. Tacki is the

849
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: the number five linebacker in the NFL. Yeah, it's weird

850
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 1: because it's when when you're all those guys are playing

851
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:12,439
Speaker 1: at the level they're playing at. It's really the back

852
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 1: end that has been disappointing and when you look at

853
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 1: this back end, it's they're not equaling the some of

854
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 1: their parts. Not at all. And in fact, if I

855
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: want to go, if I go to to the defensive area,

856
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 1: so corners, in terms of corner grades, this is in

857
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:31,280
Speaker 1: the NFL through through two weeks, so not much. Number

858
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 1: our top graded corner, at number eighteen in the NFL,

859
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 1: is m j Emerson and if you take it the

860
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 1: guys that are playing like fifty percent of the time,

861
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: M J emerson shoots up to the number ten corner

862
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Last year all three of our starting

863
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 1: corners were in the top twenty nine in the NFL.

864
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: Right now M J emerson is the only one, our

865
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 1: rookie is the only one in the top twenty nine.

866
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 1: And then if you go and you go into the

867
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: safety room where last year off over the second half

868
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: of the season, grant Delta was like the number eight.

869
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 1: John Johnson was the number twelve. If you were to

870
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 1: go to the safety room right now we've got John

871
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 1: Johnson is thirty one and grant delput's not even on

872
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 1: the first page. Grant delput out of the qualifying safeties.

873
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 1: There's sixty three safeties who have played every snap or

874
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:19,359
Speaker 1: played team snaps. He's fifty seven. So our back end

875
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 1: is not performing at the level it should. By the way,

876
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 1: make of Fitzpatrick is the number one graded safety. Has

877
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 1: Been Sensational. He really has been. Elkino Seriou, lawyer, serious

878

Speaker 1: injuries called one under alkohio for a free case review. Elcanos,

00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: his entrance out the same. It was awesome. That moment

904
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 1: was cool. The Guitar Smash is also that's new. That's

905
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,480

Speaker 1: goggles on, gotta wear gloves, gotta be safe. Is there

908
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 1: some sort of a plexiglass around that so shrapnel doesn't

909
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 1: I think it's far enough away that there's no way.

910
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:20,319
Speaker 1: It would be like back to the crap. And then

911
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: is that going to be kind of like we saw,

912
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:24,279
Speaker 1: you know, the seahawks do this with the twelfth man

913
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 1: or with Minnesota. Like you're gonna have a different guy

914
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:30,839
Speaker 1: every week doing that? That's the deal. By the way.

915
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:34,360
Speaker 1: Could there have been a more interesting choice for the

916
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:38,839
Speaker 1: opening game? I was wondering if you chargers chiefs and

917
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 1: it's dyne, it's dwayne. But dwayne bow is very good.

918
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: Where's Priests Holmes? Is he around? Dwayne bow is very

919
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 1: good for the chief now as good as priest Holmes was?

920
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:49,320
Speaker 1: He was very good. I don't know. I was like Dwayne.

921
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: He had Steve De Burgh around. I bet he made

922
00:47:55,000 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 1: a pro bowler two with them. Man Stole money from no, no, no, no,

923
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: dwayne bow. Dwayne bow was offered a contract and I'll

924
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 1: tell you what. I had a great talk with Dwayne

925
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 1: bow last week of that season. I've told you this story.

926
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 1: I think so. I'm like, like, he could still play.

927
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 1: He just whatever. It was he and the coaches. By

928
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,359
Speaker 1: the way, it's his birthday today. Happy Birthday, dwyane bow

929
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:20,800
Speaker 1: turns thirty eight today. He had three thousand yards seasons

930
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: in a in a four year stretch with them. Went

931
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 1: to a pro bowl in two fifteen touchdowns that year. Anyway,

932
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 1: we signed him as he did. I think his career

933
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,800
Speaker 1: stants with us are like three catches for thirty yards,

934
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 1: maybe not five catches for fifty three yards in that

935
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:40,879
Speaker 1: two thousand fifteen season. And Uh, you know, he felt

936
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 1: like he could still play. The coaches and he didn't

937
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 1: see eye to eye. And who is that? US? My

938
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:50,439
Speaker 1: petton second year. Yeah, not a fan of dwyne bow

939
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 1: and uh, I was like Dwayne, you know, he was

940
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 1: always very nice to me. Seemed to be a guy

941
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 1: who was out there enjoying life, floating around, as it were. Uh,

942
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 1: and so I was like, what happened? He Goes Dwayne

943
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:06,359
Speaker 1: bow doesn't even know what happened to Dwyane Bow. Dwan

944
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:07,879
Speaker 1: bow want to play football and they didn't want dye

945
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 1: bow to play football. Dwyne bow wanted to practice. They

946
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,319
Speaker 1: didn't want dyne bow to practice. So dwyne bow doesn't

947
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 1: know what happened to Duyne bow this year. I was like, okay,

948
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:18,840
Speaker 1: that's like eight. Third Person the whole time awesome, like

949
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: for like two minutes and I'm like this guy's great

950
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:24,799
Speaker 1: and that was amazing. Good job out of him. WHO's

951
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 1: quarterbacking us in fifteen? Is that John? Two Thousand Fifteen

952
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:33,800
Speaker 1: is Josh mccown, I want to say, for the first

953
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 1: and then he's knocked out and then Johnny Wins Week

954
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 1: Two against Tennessee to the rabbit, Travis. Benjamin Deep, two

955
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 1: thousand Cleveland Browns. All right, we were three and thirteen

956
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 1: that year. Mccown started eight games, John Football six, and

957
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:53,399
Speaker 1: then I'll give a dollar to anybody who can get

958
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:58,759
Speaker 1: the third quarterback who started that year. SEEC guy. Is

959
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 1: that at Connor Shaw? No, that was two thousand fourteen.

960
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 1: He started the last one counter shop from South Carolina

961
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 1: and played with like a broken rib and a broken arm.

962
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 1: Pretty tough. He's a tough guy. He went right to

963
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 1: the hospital after that game. It is a still in

964
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 1: the league. Yeah, I don't know what conference this is. In.

965
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:18,839
Speaker 1: Hold on, let me give me the conference. I don't

966
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 1: know what. He started two games that year. Good Golfer.

967
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:25,879
Speaker 1: Bounced around the League a lot. Went to the same

968
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 1: college as Brett Farve. Southern Miss. Southern Miss. Yeah, I

969
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 1: got nothing. Austin Davis, he was at the rams at

970
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 1: one point. He started, if I'm not mistaken, when, after

971
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 1: like the whole billy football gate happened, after bill football.

972
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:47,479
Speaker 1: I think bill football is when he got some some work.

973
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:54,280
Speaker 1: Leading rush for seven hundred and six yards. Are leading

974
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 1: receivers that year were it feels like. Is this a

975
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 1: good big play gear year? Yeah, big play gear. Thousand

976
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 1: and forty three yards. Big Play gears seventy nine, forty

977
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:07,919
Speaker 1: three and nine, big play gear. Someone had to catch.

978
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:13,240
Speaker 1: Travis Benjamin. Sixty six and five heartline. Forty six catches,

979
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 1: five and twenty three yards. There you go. Is that

980
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 1: the first year of the new uniforms, the now new

981
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 1: old uniforms? It is right, because John's first year they

982
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 1: wore the old traditional so they I've been through a lot, brother.

983
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:30,359
Speaker 1: That feels like that feels like a long time ago.

984
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 1: Like a long time ago, buddy, it does. It does

985
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 1: indeed feel like a long time ago. UH, nothing in

986
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 1: the rear view beer about this matchup two very, very

987
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:39,759
Speaker 1: different teams than the ones that would have met all

988
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 1: the way back in two thousand and fifteen. Percent Perspective

989
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 1: on this Pittsburgh steeler team we had, on the twist

990
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:47,800
Speaker 1: of tea hotline ESPN NFL nation steelers reporter Brooke Prior,

991
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:49,400
Speaker 1: one of our favorites. Brook, thank you so much for

992
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:52,280
Speaker 1: the time. Let's just let's start here through two weeks.

993
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 1: Are The steelers from the from coaching perspective, Front Office perspective?

994
00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 1: Are they what they thought they would be? Are they

995
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 1: less they thought they would be? Does it meet expectations?

996
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:04,399
Speaker 1: What's their view of what they've seen through the first

997
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:08,840
Speaker 1: two weeks? Yes, him me. I think it's interesting because

998
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,839
Speaker 1: we heard all through the off season they were going

999
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:13,799
Speaker 1: to kind of be able to open up the playbook

1000
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 1: more with Mr Trobiski finally having a mobile quarterback. Um,

1001
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:20,719
Speaker 1: but it seems like that's not what we're seeing. Uh,

1002
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 1: so far they haven't really used Mr Trobiski's mobility to

1003
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 1: their advantage. They're not throwing the ball down the field. Um,

1004
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 1: Mitch hasn't looked aggressive, but I think the play calling

1005
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:35,680
Speaker 1: has also not looked aggressive. The offensive line is better

1006
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 1: than I think they thought it would be in the preseason,

1007
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:40,359
Speaker 1: but still not up to the part that they hoped

1008
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:42,919
Speaker 1: it would be when they signed guys like Mason Cool

1009
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 1: and James Daniels. So I think that they are underperforming

1010
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. The defense, at least the

1011
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:51,359
Speaker 1: first week, was exactly what they thought it would be with,

1012
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 1: you know, all the turnover. Is the pressure, but you

1013
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:56,400
Speaker 1: can't anticipate a guy like t j Watkinttinghurret and I

1014
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:58,360
Speaker 1: think that they're trying to figure out that new reality

1015
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 1: without him. Now let's stick with the offense for just

1016
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: a second here, and Mitch Trobinsky, Brook, if, if things

1017
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 1: don't go well or if they go as they have

1018
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:09,799
Speaker 1: for this offense, a third week with the extra kind

1019
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:11,479
Speaker 1: of three days, do you think this is a time

1020
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:15,319
Speaker 1: that Kenny Pickett could could get the nod? You know,

1021
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:19,400
Speaker 1: I'm not ruling it out Um, although I think it

1022
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 1: is notable that Mike Tomlin said, hey, we are going

1023
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,279
Speaker 1: to be patient with this offense, we are going to

1024
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 1: be patient with Mitch Trobski, but I think that they

1025
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 1: do want to see some improvement this week. But at

1026
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:32,440
Speaker 1: the same time, when we were talking with guys in

1027
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:34,479
Speaker 1: the locker room this week, they all said, hey, there's

1028
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:38,360
Speaker 1: not really a lot of time to completely change the

1029
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,840
Speaker 1: offensive system. Um Chase Lapel told me that the calls

1030
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 1: were there, that the game plan was there. They just

1031
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 1: maybe have to put in some of those calls to

1032
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:50,439
Speaker 1: get things going. So I don't think that they would

1033
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: go to Kenny Pickett already because to me the problems

1034
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 1: Jimms more from play calling than the quarterback. But you know,

1035
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 1: crazy things have happened on many buys before, so I'm

1036
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 1: not totally ruling it out. You mentioned Chase Claypool. I

1037
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:04,239
Speaker 1: want to ask you about him because when I think

1038
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 1: of a six pound guy that can run, you'd want

1039
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 1: him outside. He's playing in the slot. Yes, they're using

1040
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:12,840
Speaker 1: him on jet sweeps, but eight catches for forty four yards,

1041
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: five and a half a catch. It just feels like

1042
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 1: he's being miscast. Is there, and I've already heard, you know,

1043
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:21,360
Speaker 1: rumblings of this. You know George Pickens isn't happy. Necessarily,

1044
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 1: I can't imagine claypool's happy those receivers. What do you

1045
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 1: make of Claypool being the Slot Guy? Why is that

1046
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 1: happening and how can these receivers get more involved? Yeah,

1047
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:33,719
Speaker 1: I don't think that it's I'm with you, guys. I

1048
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,720
Speaker 1: am confused by that catching as well. We were watching

1049
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 1: the game on Sunday and I was talking to the

1050
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:40,799
Speaker 1: guy sitting next to me and he said, why the

1051
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 1: heck are they running chase? Claypool and Ray Ray mccloud

1052
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 1: route are the great question. He's a guy that has

1053
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 1: a much better skill set and different skills than Ray

1054
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:52,760
Speaker 1: Ray McLeod and part of me wonders if that's happening

1055
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 1: because Calvin austen the third their draft take starting out

1056
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 1: the year on I R I thought be a much

1057
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:01,879
Speaker 1: better it in the plot. But at the same time

1058
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:04,880
Speaker 1: they kind of talked about wanting claypool in the slot

1059
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:08,520
Speaker 1: through the offseason to do Smith Schuster do last year

1060
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 1: before he got hurt. Um I think that they want

1061
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: Claypool on the field. He is being miscast at this point.

1062
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:18,759
Speaker 1: Is they want to get production going, they need to

1063
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:21,839
Speaker 1: maybe stop overthinking some things in the offense and just

1064
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 1: put the playmakers where they sit, instead of having an

1065
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:28,280
Speaker 1: offense where they want to use all these receivers interchangeably

1066
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:31,239
Speaker 1: or put some guys in some unique positions. Just put

1067
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:33,319
Speaker 1: Claypool on the outside where he can go to work.

1068
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:35,879
Speaker 1: He's showing that he's better. He's showing that he can

1069
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 1: bring the ball down and stay on his feet, which is,

1070
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:41,840
Speaker 1: you know, not always a given last season. But I

1071
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:44,920
Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure what they're thinking there. Well, Brooks.

1072
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,319
Speaker 1: So then this gets to the root of all of this,

1073
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 1: which is Matt Cannon of the offense. Of course. How

1074
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 1: did he get this job? Who Else was considered? What

1075
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:54,360
Speaker 1: made them? What on the resume lead led them to believe?

1076
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:56,239
Speaker 1: And they get a lot right. I mean let's let's

1077
00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 1: acknowledge they get a lot right. This one it feels

1078
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:00,839
Speaker 1: like they didn't. What. What did they like about him?

1079
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 1: What was in his past that led him to believe

1080
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 1: that this would be a fit for this skill set

1081
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 1: on this offense? Well, I think a lot of it

1082
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 1: had to come from the fact that he was working

1083
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:12,760
Speaker 1: next door a pitt and he led that Pitt offense

1084
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 1: to a really great season. Um, he had a track

1085
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 1: record of being a very inventive and very good college

1086
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:24,239
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator and he stayed L S Hugh thinks with sideways,

1087
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 1: but he was still doing some inventive things that I

1088
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:28,919
Speaker 1: think they wanted to put in their offense to mix

1089
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:31,240
Speaker 1: it up a little bit. They felt like the college

1090
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:34,480
Speaker 1: offense is going to eventually become a large part of

1091
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:36,800
Speaker 1: the pro game. Um, they liked what he did it

1092
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:39,879
Speaker 1: Pitt and, let's be honest, he was on staff. They

1093
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:43,319
Speaker 1: elevated him from that quarterback job when they parted way

1094
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:46,920
Speaker 1: to brandy fakner. Um, they like to promote from within.

1095
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:50,680
Speaker 1: I just don't think that it's necessarily the right fit

1096
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:53,279
Speaker 1: at this point. Maybe, you know, they'll, they'll put some

1097
00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:56,800
Speaker 1: more play calls in this year, but I I felt

1098
00:56:56,880 --> 00:57:00,279
Speaker 1: like this year, this week specifically, like I was going

1099
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:03,319
Speaker 1: back in time because we were asking much Trabiski the

1100
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:06,919
Speaker 1: same questions we asked Ben Rockisburger a year ago of Hey,

1101
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:09,280
Speaker 1: do you think you could mix in tempo more often?

1102
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:11,239
Speaker 1: It looks like you guys were playing really well when

1103
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 1: you were going to know how to. Can you do

1104
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 1: that again? And we have the same conversations with Ben

1105
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:19,200
Speaker 1: Robinsburger last year. To me, that points to a coordinator

1106
00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 1: and a play call issue more than it does a

1107
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:26,120
Speaker 1: quarterback issue. Brooke, in terms of of I mean that's

1108
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 1: a huge one. For for us, obviously, at one and one,

1109
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 1: blowing the game like we did on Sunday, up thirteen

1110
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 1: in the final two minutes, Um and and and so

1111
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 1: if if you want to be relevant by the time

1112
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:38,520
Speaker 1: you get to week twelve and Deshaun Watson returns, this

1113
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:41,160
Speaker 1: is one you gotta have. From the Pittsburgh perspective, what

1114
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 1: is down? Um, they do have the picket thing looming,

1115
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 1: although listening to you, it seems like it's maybe not

1116
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:48,480
Speaker 1: as looking as much as some people, particularly the fans,

1117
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 1: would want it to. Where does this one rank for

1118
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh in terms of what they're trying to get accomplished

1119
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:59,040
Speaker 1: this year and in in just the feeld in that room?

1120
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 1: I mean I see, I mean being in the locker

1121
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 1: room the last two weeks, it's been kind of a

1122
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 1: weird feeling. Even though they beat the Bengals, that was

1123
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:09,960
Speaker 1: still because a, you have t j watt hurt, but

1124
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 1: the past week, except you had in the fact they

1125
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:18,000
Speaker 1: could get any pressure, they didn't have any stacks. I

1126
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 1: think that this is a win that they need for

1127
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:23,400
Speaker 1: I mean they're psyche at this point and you know,

1128
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:25,920
Speaker 1: for the season they are somehow a top the A

1129
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 1: F C North's very early on, obviously, but because they

1130
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 1: do have the win against the Bengals, that helps Um,

1131
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 1: but I think they need it just to prove to

1132
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:37,200
Speaker 1: themselves that this is a team that can have a

1133
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 1: viable offense, that can win Games, Um, and that they

1134
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 1: can also get by without t j watt. To me,

1135
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:46,320
Speaker 1: this this is a win that they need internally to

1136
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:48,840
Speaker 1: make a statement to themselves that they can get things

1137
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 1: together Um, more so than, you know, a statement went

1138
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 1: to shop the NFL by any means or anything like that.

1139
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 1: Obviously the loss of T J watt was felt. You know,

1140
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:01,160
Speaker 1: Alex Heismith goes from being Robin to trying to be

1141
00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:04,439
Speaker 1: Batman and that didn't work so well last week. WHO

1142
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:07,439
Speaker 1: STEPS IN? WHO FILLS IN? Who are they excited about?

1143
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:10,720
Speaker 1: If anybody on that edge spot opposite of Alex highsmith

1144
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:14,040
Speaker 1: now to try to replace T J watt? Yeah, I

1145
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 1: mean Malik read has been that guy. Um, it ended

1146
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 1: up being a very good trade for them. I think

1147
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:22,200
Speaker 1: they just swatched seventh round picks with the broncos and

1148
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:24,680
Speaker 1: also gotten the leak read. He's a guy that played

1149
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 1: over seven hundred snaps in Denver last year, so they

1150
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:30,880
Speaker 1: felt like he was a veteran guy. He wasn't starting,

1151
00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 1: but he did become, you know, got more of a

1152
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 1: starting role with injuries to guy like Bradley Chubb and

1153
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 1: Von Miller Um and so they felt like he would

1154
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:42,000
Speaker 1: be a good fitness seasons and it felt like he

1155
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 1: was just a couple inches away a couple of times.

1156
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:46,920
Speaker 1: Got Held on one play where it looks like he

1157
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:48,800
Speaker 1: was going to get the sack. So they feel like

1158
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 1: he can step in and at least helped his team

1159
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 1: get by until T J watt comes back. Maga Fitzpatrick's

1160
00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:58,640
Speaker 1: the best safety in football right now. Interception both of

1161
00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 1: these Games. He's been phenomenal. Um, you look around the secondary,

1162
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:06,840
Speaker 1: some new faces. Leavi Wallace's new, but weatherspoon and Sutton

1163
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:09,760
Speaker 1: are back. You know, no Joe Hayden anymore. What do

1164
01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:12,280
Speaker 1: you make of this secondary so far? And I know

1165
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:14,880
Speaker 1: they had the four interceptions week one. They got another

1166
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 1: one last week with a MINKA. What do you make

1167
01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 1: of the secondary and is it can it get back

1168
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 1: to being, you know, an excellent Pittsburgh steelers, you know,

1169
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:26,160
Speaker 1: Defensive Backfield? Yeah, I mean I think Manka Fitzpatrick's been

1170
01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:28,520
Speaker 1: playing out of his mind and you mentioned. What are

1171
01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:30,600
Speaker 1: the steelers gonna DO WITHOUT T J watt? They've got

1172
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:33,200
Speaker 1: to have Manka keep making plays back there to bring

1173
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 1: the energy, because obviously he's not playing the same position

1174
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 1: as t j watting. He he can occupy the same

1175
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 1: intangible spot as far as bringing this energy. Um, I

1176
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:46,600
Speaker 1: think that they just have to stick to their fundamentals.

1177
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:49,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I tell a witherspoon did just about everything

1178
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:52,600
Speaker 1: he could on that touchdown that he gave up last

1179
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:57,400
Speaker 1: week except finished to play, get, really get his hands, uh,

1180
01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:00,720
Speaker 1: play above the head flag. I get. I mean he

1181
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:03,280
Speaker 1: just got to come down with it. So it feels

1182
01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:06,080
Speaker 1: like they're right. They're kind of like the addressers without

1183
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:08,720
Speaker 1: T J watt. They are so close to being a

1184
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:11,959
Speaker 1: good unit. But I do think that they have shown

1185
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 1: encouraging signs early with Minka leading the way. Brook, thank

1186
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:18,200
Speaker 1: you so much for your time. Greatly appreciate it. We'll

1187
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:22,120
Speaker 1: see you over here tomorrow night, of course. Sounds Great. Thanks, guys.

1188

1192
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 1: That's the thing. I mean, they could be and that's

1193
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 1: maybe one of the reasons why they're in no rush

1194
01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:55,480
Speaker 1: for Pickett, because you know we'd be put them in

1195
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:58,640
Speaker 1: a murderer's row right there. Yeah, you'd be better off waiting.

1196
01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:02,960
Speaker 1: After philly. They go saints, Bengals, at Colts, at Falcons,

1197
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:05,680
Speaker 1: and that's their bye week. So phillies within then their

1198
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:08,080
Speaker 1: bye weeks after Philly, at the end of the month. Um.

1208
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:53,280
Speaker 1: bit of matchup. Our offense versus their defense. Here's before

1209
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:56,960
Speaker 1: we get into the DUCTOR Z portion. Give us first question.

1210
01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:58,520
Speaker 1: What changes need to be made on offense for the

1211
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 1: Browns to Windom or nothing? Nothing. It was great. That

1212
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:09,400
Speaker 1: was you've scored enough. More. Bengals. Both have seven, both

1213
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:11,720
Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, you scored fifty six. Should be two wins.

1214
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:13,760
Speaker 1: Got Nothing to do with offense. No, the offense has

1215
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:16,960
Speaker 1: been phenomenal. If you're trying to just, you know, nitpick

1216
01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:19,360
Speaker 1: and and you know, Cherry pick and say, okay, well,

1217
01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:21,080
Speaker 1: what could it what could it be? What would be

1218
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:24,040
Speaker 1: the ideal? Maybe a few more shots down the field.

1219
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:26,520
Speaker 1: That connect right. I mean that's if you're saying, what's

1220
01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:29,280
Speaker 1: one thing that we could do a little bit better,

1221
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:33,280
Speaker 1: that's it, right, is just passing down the field, because

1222
01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:36,480
Speaker 1: that feels like the only thing that there is. Jacoby

1223
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 1: Brissette has one completion of more than twenty yards in

1224
01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:40,959
Speaker 1: the air this season. It was last week, a thirty

1225
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:43,600
Speaker 1: yard or down the left side. That's it. So if

1226
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:45,800
Speaker 1: you say there's what could we do? A little bit

1227
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:49,000
Speaker 1: more vertical passing, that's it. Other than that, you're phenomenal.

1228
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 1: You've rushed for a hundred eighty yards in both games,

1229
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:54,120
Speaker 1: going back to last year. It's three straight if you

1230
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 1: run for a hundred eighty yards in this one. And

1231
01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:59,600
Speaker 1: by the way, New England's running backs last week average

1232
01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 1: five ords to carry. We run the ball more than anybody.

1233
01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:04,840
Speaker 1: So if we get five yards to carry from our

1234
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:06,680
Speaker 1: guys we have a chance to get around that two

1235
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:11,280
Speaker 1: hundred yard range. Um, or even eight for sure if

1236
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:12,800
Speaker 1: we rush for a hundred eight. And this one will

1237
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:15,680
Speaker 1: be the fourth, fourth straight game. First Time since Jim

1238
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:21,280
Speaker 1: Brown was the running back in nineteen fifty seven and

1239
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 1: the browns did it's seven straight games that year in

1240
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:27,120
Speaker 1: a completely different world of football, I mean couldn't be

1241
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 1: more different. So, Um, just kind of tactically speaking, Pittsburgh

1242
01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:35,120
Speaker 1: bad on outside runs, especially with the loss of t J.

1243
01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 1: Watch give up five point eight yards to carry last

1244
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:39,240
Speaker 1: week on those. Since Chubb is coming to the League,

1245
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 1: he has number one in the NFL on runs outside

1246
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:44,000
Speaker 1: the tackles. Five point yards to carry himself, nearly four

1247
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:47,919
Speaker 1: thousand yards and nearly thirty touchdowns. Um, the browns listen,

1248
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:50,320
Speaker 1: this is so fun. Only tandem in the NFL with

1249
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:54,520
Speaker 1: twenty four carries apiece, Kareem Hunt and Nick Chubb. Only

1250
01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:57,439
Speaker 1: Tannem in the NFL, that Bolt where you've got two guys.

1251
01:04:58,000 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 1: There are only seven players in the NFL. That what

1252
01:04:59,640 --> 01:05:01,040
Speaker 1: I'm about say. It's true of they have a hundred

1253
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:03,160
Speaker 1: or more rushing yards and two or more touchdowns total.

1254
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:05,840
Speaker 1: There's only some players don't leave. That that's true of

1255
01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:09,920
Speaker 1: we've got on our team, obviously the only tantem in

1256
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:12,640
Speaker 1: the NFL that that is true of as well. There's

1257
01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:14,480
Speaker 1: a team that you know they are gonna miss t

1258
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:16,680
Speaker 1: j Watt, the pressure numbers I gave you. With him,

1259
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:19,400
Speaker 1: you know, seven sacks, twenty two pressures. Without him so far,

1260
01:05:19,480 --> 01:05:23,320
Speaker 1: two pressures, no sex UH, five takeaways versus one. They've

1261
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:26,080
Speaker 1: never won without him. From a scheme standpoint, this is

1262
01:05:26,080 --> 01:05:28,280
Speaker 1: a three or four defense. They'll have five on the

1263
01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:31,200
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage quite a bit. They will play cover one,

1264
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:33,800
Speaker 1: which is man, with one free safety, and that's usually

1265
01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:36,600
Speaker 1: make of Fitzpatrick, who's coming down and doing some Robin Um.

1266
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:39,400
Speaker 1: Third most in the NFL. They're playing the most cover

1267
01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:42,480
Speaker 1: two in the NFL, which is a huge departure from

1268
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:46,200
Speaker 1: what they used to do. They never did that. They

1269
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:48,840
Speaker 1: would never pay cover two, man one and cover three.

1270
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:53,280
Speaker 1: They're playing cover two most in the NFL still fifty

1271
01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:56,040
Speaker 1: percent cover one or cover three, but cover two. That

1272
01:05:56,120 --> 01:05:58,960
Speaker 1: jumped out at me as being a big change schematically

1273
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:01,720
Speaker 1: for this team on defense and showing that that's a

1274
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 1: little bit of Shell and my guess is that was

1275
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:06,720
Speaker 1: probably built heavily in week one with a respect for

1276
01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:10,560
Speaker 1: the ability of the bengals to throw the ball downfield.

1277
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:12,200
Speaker 1: That's the only thing I can think of, because that

1278
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:14,920
Speaker 1: feels like a big departure. So that one I'm not

1279
01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 1: gonna read too much in that. I don't expect to

1280
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 1: see a bunch of cover two against us. I expect

1281
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:21,080
Speaker 1: to see a lot of uh, cover one. Alex Highsmith,

1282
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:23,040
Speaker 1: three sacks, leads a team tied for three in the

1283
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:25,320
Speaker 1: NFL with miles. He had all three in week one. Again,

1284
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:27,840
Speaker 1: they had none last week. Malik read, he'll take over

1285
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:30,600
Speaker 1: for T J watt. Thirteen sacks. The last two seasons

1286
01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:33,480
Speaker 1: he had eight and twenty with Denver, a former undrafted

1287
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:35,560
Speaker 1: free agent out of a Nevada. They've got the great

1288
01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:38,360
Speaker 1: cam heyward, five time Pro Bowler, first team all pro

1289
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:41,360
Speaker 1: last year. Um He's got a sack in two straight

1290
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:42,880
Speaker 1: and three the last four against the browns and nine

1291
01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:45,160
Speaker 1: and a half sex in his career against the browns.

1292
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:47,360
Speaker 1: Larry Ogan job who had a great year last year.

1293
01:06:47,400 --> 01:06:50,120
Speaker 1: Seven sacks with Cincinnati a career high. He doesn't have

1294
01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:52,280
Speaker 1: a sack yet this year. Those are kind of the

1295
01:06:52,320 --> 01:06:55,320
Speaker 1: guys up front, their linebackers. Devin Bush just not the same.

1296
01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:57,360
Speaker 1: Miles Jack has been the main guy, leads a team

1297
01:06:57,400 --> 01:07:00,120
Speaker 1: with twenty three tackles. And then the secondary. MINK is

1298
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:02,040
Speaker 1: the best safety in the League right now. He's got

1299
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:05,320
Speaker 1: twenty tackles, two interceptions, pick six against Joe Burrow, two

1300
01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:08,720
Speaker 1: passes defense, quarterbacks rating targeting him thirty two point five.

1301
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:12,160
Speaker 1: Number one safety at pro football focus. He's been great. Uh,

1302
01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:15,440
Speaker 1: the corners, Witherspoon and Sutton. Now Witherspoon's giving up a

1303
01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:18,440
Speaker 1: touchdown both games. Sutton's got three passes defense and an

1304
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:23,080
Speaker 1: interception already. Witherspoon himself has an interception, both against Cincinnati's

1305
01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:25,240
Speaker 1: you might guess. And then they've got Levi Wallace, who

1306
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:27,080
Speaker 1: was a starter for the bills who's now their nickels.

1307
01:07:27,120 --> 01:07:29,360
Speaker 1: So good corners. And they have a guy who's fun

1308
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:32,880
Speaker 1: to watch, Arthur Mollett, an undrafted free agent out of

1309
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:35,240
Speaker 1: Memphis who's kind of like the new Mike Hilton. They

1310
01:07:35,240 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 1: bring him in as a run blitzing nickel and he

1311
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:41,000
Speaker 1: just blitzes and plays the run. So when he's in

1312
01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:42,960
Speaker 1: there expecting you to run. So something that we'll we'll

1313
01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 1: keep an eye on there. It's Um, I'll tell you.

1314
01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:49,240
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissett has been. He was sensational on Sunday in

1315
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:52,360
Speaker 1: the game. He has an ability and I understand he

1316
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 1: through the pick at the end of the game and

1317
01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:55,160
Speaker 1: obviously he'd like to have that one back. In that

1318
01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:57,720
Speaker 1: scenario you're hanging onto a glimmer chance. But I think

1319
01:07:57,720 --> 01:07:59,320
Speaker 1: you gotta force it in. I mean you try to

1320
01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:01,360
Speaker 1: do what you gotta do, but I will say that

1321
01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:04,040
Speaker 1: it's to me it's it's incredible. After you know what

1322
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:06,880
Speaker 1: we had seen the previous four seasons. He really the

1323
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:11,240
Speaker 1: ball is rarely in harm's way. Yeah, it's really yeah,

1324
01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:12,960
Speaker 1: but I mean, like, I don't know people pay attention that.

1325
01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:16,040
Speaker 1: Like if you watched the first two weeks, the short stuff,

1326
01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:18,360
Speaker 1: there's not anything you're like, Oh God, there's none of that,

1327
01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:21,240
Speaker 1: like it's it's all in a pretty short window. No,

1328
01:08:21,439 --> 01:08:24,080
Speaker 1: the shots downfield learned there. That was all in the brochure, though,

1329
01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:27,080
Speaker 1: but in terms of the stuff underneath the ball is is.

1330
01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:29,720
Speaker 1: I mean even stuff simple like slants, the ball is

1331
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:32,400
Speaker 1: down and low in in front. It's at a point

1332
01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:34,799
Speaker 1: where only your guy can get it. He just doesn't

1333
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 1: put the ball in harm's away and it's something I

1334
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:40,680
Speaker 1: really appreciate because, yeah, I just wanted our fans to

1335
01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:44,320
Speaker 1: understand and and look for that, because if you, if

1336
01:08:44,360 --> 01:08:47,040
Speaker 1: you just watch the throws he's making, there aren't that

1337
01:08:47,160 --> 01:08:50,639
Speaker 1: many where you go, Oh dear God. Here's the thing, folks.

1338
01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:53,719
Speaker 1: We are the number one rushing offense, ninth total offense,

1339
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:59,280
Speaker 1: seventh scoring offense. We are fourth on third downs. I'll

1340
01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:01,599
Speaker 1: say that again. We are fourth or third downs. That's

1341
01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:03,679
Speaker 1: that's a big tip of the cap to your quarterback

1342
01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:08,120
Speaker 1: his ability not only to throw the ball in those situations,

1343
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:11,639
Speaker 1: but also he's been phenomenal sneaking. We've got a couple

1344
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:14,040
Speaker 1: of first downs with him sneaking. Uh. We are tied

1345
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:16,160
Speaker 1: for first in terms of GIVEAWAYS and we've only given

1346
01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:18,000
Speaker 1: it away once all year, which is the interception at

1347
01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:20,320
Speaker 1: that end of that game. We're second in big plays

1348
01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:22,840
Speaker 1: on offense, doing large part to our ground game. We've

1349
01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:25,360
Speaker 1: got some nice screens as well. He's just been he's

1350
01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:27,880
Speaker 1: been perfect. He's been perfect, been really good. Yeah, yeah,

1351
01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:29,280
Speaker 1: it's been fun to watch. All right, we'll do a

1352
01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:31,840
Speaker 1: little higher lower coming up next. YOU LISTEN TO CLEVELAND

1370
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:08,000
Speaker 1: Sunday somehow timely, inappropriate. He doesn't even have to set it.

1371
01:11:08,040 --> 01:11:11,760
Speaker 1: It's already said. Any Brown's all that dvr ready to go,

Speaker 1: ready at all at a just hit a button in there.

01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:17,559

Speaker 1: Is the POPs coming in this weekend? Coming in tomorrow? No,

1375
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:25,960
Speaker 1: he's flying this time. Yeah, that's fine. So he's doing it.

1376
01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:28,080
Speaker 1: He's going here. That my brother lives in Florida. WHO's

1377
01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:30,200
Speaker 1: gonna go here for a few days in Florida? For

1378
01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:32,760
Speaker 1: where's he coming from? Montana. It's west of here and

1379
01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:37,040
Speaker 1: he drove that before. How long is that? Forever? I'm

1380
01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:41,200
Speaker 1: about a set two thousand miles. I mean it's like

1381
01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:43,439
Speaker 1: twenty hours. I don't know how long. Yeah, it's twenty.

1382
01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:45,439
Speaker 1: I mean it's a day, full day, of straight drive.

1383
01:11:45,479 --> 01:11:48,479
Speaker 1: It takes you about three days of straight driving. Did

1384
01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:50,080
Speaker 1: it once with my brother and then he did in

1385
01:11:50,160 --> 01:11:54,360
Speaker 1: the spring he did with my uncle. It's ridiculous. Shall

1386
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:57,360
Speaker 1: we play a little higher or lower? Can't wait, presented

1387
01:11:57,640 --> 01:12:03,519
Speaker 1: by your great friends and nothing that? Yes, we do.

1388
01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:06,280
Speaker 1: I read it. It's the Ohio lottery. It's to keep

1389
01:12:06,280 --> 01:12:09,120
Speaker 1: it fund from the Ohio lottery to know the risk

1390
01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:11,400
Speaker 1: before you gamble. You're lucky that you had me, Gibby,

1391
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:13,400
Speaker 1: because I already read that. So you're in good because

1392
01:12:13,439 --> 01:12:16,920
Speaker 1: it wasn't in front of me. Yeah, well, you know why?

1393
01:12:18,120 --> 01:12:22,479
Speaker 1: Because because I'm holding Pete PRISCO's power rankings in my

1394
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:25,280
Speaker 1: hand and Pete Prisco actually admits that he was wrong,

1395
01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:28,960
Speaker 1: which is a stunning I said that when I first

1396
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:33,400
Speaker 1: picked it up. Unprecedented. I think it's it's a stunning revelation.

1397
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:35,559
Speaker 1: What did he say? It's any kind of wrong doing.

1398
01:12:35,760 --> 01:12:37,240
Speaker 1: Did he say it was wrong with these power rankings?

1399
01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:39,400
Speaker 1: What did he say? It was wrong about? Wrong about two? UH,

1400
01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:46,280
Speaker 1: that's too first it's premature to say that. He admits

1401
01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:48,439
Speaker 1: that he's wrong about two. If you if, Pete, we're

1402
01:12:48,479 --> 01:12:51,720
Speaker 1: watching their games and you see what mcdaniel is doing

1403
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:58,080
Speaker 1: schematically and how open players are. Yeah, yeah, you've got that.

1404
01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:02,479
Speaker 1: I believe you have that. Well, anyways, we are presented

1405
01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:05,759
Speaker 1: by the Ohio lottery and it is pie PRISCO's power

1406
01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:12,000
Speaker 1: rankings from CBO SPORTS DOT COM. The Cleveland browns our

1407
01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:18,200
Speaker 1: ranked number seventeen in this week's power rankings. Uh, the girl,

1408
01:13:18,240 --> 01:13:22,040
Speaker 1: I'll start with you, higher, lower or just right for

1409
01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:24,519
Speaker 1: your one and one Cleveland browns this week. Listen, we

1410
01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:25,920
Speaker 1: should be too, and Oh and we would have to

1411
01:13:25,960 --> 01:13:28,920
Speaker 1: be ranked. I'm guessing closer to twelve, but we blew it, boy,

1412
01:13:29,400 --> 01:13:32,360
Speaker 1: and so appropriate. This team has a lot to prove.

1413
01:13:32,640 --> 01:13:34,479
Speaker 1: We said all along. Three and one in the first

1414
01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:36,200
Speaker 1: four is the goal. It's still in front of you.

1415
01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:38,360
Speaker 1: You've got to beat a team that has ranked behind

1416
01:13:38,479 --> 01:13:42,360
Speaker 1: you in the steelers, and they need to win this game.

1417
01:13:42,479 --> 01:13:46,120
Speaker 1: I mean it's you should be a team of consequence

1418
01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:47,960
Speaker 1: right now, the team that everybody you know. Oh Man,

1419
01:13:48,040 --> 01:13:50,000
Speaker 1: we were sleeping on the browns. That roster is really

1420
01:13:50,040 --> 01:13:53,080
Speaker 1: actually pretty darn good. Blah, blah, blah, Blah Blah. And

1421
01:13:53,400 --> 01:13:55,880
Speaker 1: now we fly under the radar and it's our we've

1422
01:13:55,880 --> 01:13:59,599
Speaker 1: got nobody to blame but ourselves. Higher Lord, just right. Yeah,

1423
01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:02,479
Speaker 1: I'm on board with Nathan here. I think it's just right.

1424
01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:05,400
Speaker 1: I think the problems, as bad as they seemed on

1425
01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:09,000
Speaker 1: the defense on Sunday, I think they're fixable. It's still weak. Two.

1426
01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:11,640
Speaker 1: You have to they just have to communicate more. And

1427
01:14:11,800 --> 01:14:13,840
Speaker 1: if you take away the fourth quarter from what does

1428
01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:16,760
Speaker 1: it mean? What do you mean communicate more? Everybody keeps

1429
01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:19,920
Speaker 1: saying that around here. What does that mean? They gotta

1430
01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:22,240
Speaker 1: Talk Louder? I guess. I don't know. I mean no,

1431
01:14:22,320 --> 01:14:25,800
Speaker 1: they just need to mean. We're doing but it's not

1432
01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:27,720
Speaker 1: like it's a technique thing, it's not like it's a

1433
01:14:27,800 --> 01:14:30,560
Speaker 1: lack of talent thing. I feel like communication is a

1434
01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:36,599
Speaker 1: breakdown that's being disguised as a communication. Yes, I still

1435
01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:39,920
Speaker 1: think it's something that is is fixable. I don't know

1436
01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:42,760
Speaker 1: if it's fixable in a four day stretch, but we'll see. Um.

1437
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:44,640
Speaker 1: But I mean that's the biggest problem that they have

1438
01:14:44,680 --> 01:14:46,160
Speaker 1: to do and if you take away the fourth quarter

1439
01:14:46,240 --> 01:14:48,720
Speaker 1: from the panthers game and from this week, then I

1440
01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:51,880
Speaker 1: think you could say the defense has played a lot better.

1441
01:14:52,479 --> 01:14:54,840
Speaker 1: Can play a lot better still. Um. So I think

1442
01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:56,360
Speaker 1: it's just right. I think it's just right. We're better

1443
01:14:56,439 --> 01:14:58,360
Speaker 1: than two teams ranked ahead of us on his list.

1444
01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:00,599
Speaker 1: That's through two weeks. We're better than the ANCHOS, better

1445
01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:04,240
Speaker 1: than the Patriots. Patriots, you have to prove that. Now

1446
01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:06,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to go do it. But guess what?

1447
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:09,840
Speaker 1: The broncos stink to right now. Those two teams stink.

1448
01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:14,120
Speaker 1: So we have we have two blown coverages that made

1449
01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:15,880
Speaker 1: one game closer than it should have been and cost

1450
01:15:15,960 --> 01:15:18,519
Speaker 1: us another. Now you can say ifs and nuts. I

1451
01:15:18,600 --> 01:15:22,439
Speaker 1: get it, but if you watch the games, you're better

1452
01:15:22,479 --> 01:15:25,280
Speaker 1: than those two teams. Yeah, we should be better than

1453
01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:32,599
Speaker 1: seventeen next all right. Number one of the buffalo bills

1454
01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:38,320
Speaker 1: points out this question for you. The chiefs at number two. Higher,

1455
01:15:38,520 --> 01:15:40,639
Speaker 1: lower or just right? I think we canna all agree

1456
01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:42,240
Speaker 1: the bills are the best team right now. Yeah, no,

1457
01:15:42,360 --> 01:15:43,920
Speaker 1: this is still just right for the chiefs. I mean

1458
01:15:43,960 --> 01:15:46,200
Speaker 1: these are the top two. These two, the bills are.

1459
01:15:46,200 --> 01:15:47,400
Speaker 1: The chiefs are in the tier of their own right

1460
01:15:47,439 --> 01:15:49,759
Speaker 1: now as far as I'm concerned, and I think they're

1461
01:15:50,120 --> 01:15:53,920
Speaker 1: the chargers had them beat. I mean they're a bad

1462
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:55,920
Speaker 1: pick six, and I know you can't take it away,

1463
01:15:56,080 --> 01:15:58,280
Speaker 1: but I mean they like, absolutely look like they belonged

1464
01:15:58,280 --> 01:16:00,360
Speaker 1: on the field with them, without Keenan Allen. By the way,

1465
01:16:00,479 --> 01:16:04,120
Speaker 1: those are the three. I still don't see many other

1466
01:16:04,160 --> 01:16:07,000
Speaker 1: teams in this league right now's business. I still don't

1467
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:08,599
Speaker 1: see very many teams in this league beating the chief

1468
01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:10,439
Speaker 1: right now. I definitely don't see any teams beating the bills.

1469
01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:12,720
Speaker 1: So with one and two, is is just right for

1470
01:16:12,760 --> 01:16:18,320
Speaker 1: those teams. So you're calling undefeated season for the bills? UH, yeah,

1471
01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:20,800
Speaker 1: the cheers. Sure, I will say that for the bills. Yeah,

1472
01:16:20,840 --> 01:16:25,200
Speaker 1: I mean a hell of a story. Yeah, twenty or

1473
01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:27,519
Speaker 1: they be what they have to win in the divisional round.

1474
01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:31,120
Speaker 1: Twenty and Oh total. I mean this is as dominant

1475
01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:32,600
Speaker 1: of a of a two week stretch to open the

1476
01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:34,200
Speaker 1: season as we've seen from a team in a long time.

1477
01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:36,920
Speaker 1: I think they look great. Bishop, do you agree with

1478
01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:40,200
Speaker 1: one and two being I mean it's appropriate. I would

1479
01:16:40,200 --> 01:16:42,639
Speaker 1: put the chargers third and then I would move the bucks.

1480
01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:43,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what else you're doing here, but I

1481
01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:45,880
Speaker 1: would move the bucks down, but I would have the

1482
01:16:45,960 --> 01:16:47,760
Speaker 1: chargers third because if you have to, you have to watch.

1483
01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:49,280
Speaker 1: You can't just go wins and lass, Youtu have to

1484
01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:51,280
Speaker 1: watch the Games. If you watch the Games, the chargers

1485
01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:54,800
Speaker 1: are in this category, these three teams separate, and then

1486
01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:57,880
Speaker 1: maybe the eagles. Well, and what were the chargers do

1487
01:16:57,960 --> 01:16:59,439
Speaker 1: when we get there? I don't know. What were the

1488
01:16:59,479 --> 01:17:01,640
Speaker 1: charges doing with Herbert only throwing the ball? I was like,

1489
01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:03,160
Speaker 1: what do you average? Like four yards per a tempt

1490
01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:04,920
Speaker 1: or something. Well, they did that and the chiefs had

1491
01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:07,000
Speaker 1: a very I thought both teams on that Monday night

1492
01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:09,000
Speaker 1: or were kind of taking the approach of we're not

1493
01:17:09,080 --> 01:17:11,080
Speaker 1: going to lose it, which is odd based on their talent.

1494
01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:13,800
Speaker 1: It was neither. But nobody wanted to take a shot. So,

1495
01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:17,120
Speaker 1: like mahomes didn't Um. He took more than Herbert, but

1496
01:17:17,200 --> 01:17:19,880
Speaker 1: it was like neither one had something, Mike Williams, but

1497
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:22,240
Speaker 1: they just didn't live. It was weird how they played.

1498
01:17:22,280 --> 01:17:24,960
Speaker 1: They played very pessimistic, if that makes sense. By the way,

1499
01:17:25,479 --> 01:17:28,519
Speaker 1: how long ago does it feel that we watched that

1500
01:17:28,640 --> 01:17:31,200
Speaker 1: game and it was not even a week ago when

1501
01:17:31,360 --> 01:17:33,519
Speaker 1: Herbert had the craziest to play sequence? I think the

1502
01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:35,800
Speaker 1: history of sports, it feels like three weeks ago. At

1503
01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:38,519
Speaker 1: least it does. Yeah, I thought that was Monday night,

1504
01:17:38,560 --> 01:17:40,240
Speaker 1: but you're right, it was Thursday. It was it was

1505
01:17:40,360 --> 01:17:50,280
Speaker 1: last week. It was last week. Tomorrow like that next. Alright, bishop,

1506
01:17:50,360 --> 01:17:53,240
Speaker 1: you lead us off here. The buccaneers were three eagles.

1507
01:17:53,400 --> 01:17:56,679
Speaker 1: Are Four Eagles? High or lower or just right? They're

1508
01:17:56,720 --> 01:17:59,040
Speaker 1: just right because I have the charges at three. Yep.

1509
01:17:59,160 --> 01:18:01,519
Speaker 1: So the problem here for me is the buccaneers the book.

1510
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:04,679
Speaker 1: This is an example of of Pete. You're not watching

1511
01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:09,080
Speaker 1: the Games man. They they were brutal offensively against Dallas.

1512
01:18:09,120 --> 01:18:11,920
Speaker 1: Their defense is pretty good. They were nothing special against

1513
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:16,000
Speaker 1: the saints. There is something off there, man. It's all

1514
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:18,120
Speaker 1: it's in the press conferences. It's what you're seeing in

1515
01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:20,760
Speaker 1: the Games. I don't have the bucks three, I have

1516
01:18:20,840 --> 01:18:23,120
Speaker 1: the eagles. I put the charges at three. The Eagles

1517
01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:25,040
Speaker 1: are just right there where they should be right now.

1518
01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:29,360
Speaker 1: They did the fourth best team in the NFL. I

1519
01:18:29,439 --> 01:18:30,960
Speaker 1: like them as I think they are the number four

1520
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:32,759
Speaker 1: team and I think they're the best team in the NFC.

1521
01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:35,760
Speaker 1: So that's right. Slide the chargers up there into number three,

1522
01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:37,920
Speaker 1: and I think those four teams right now look like

1523
01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:41,120
Speaker 1: the best four teams in the League. Yeah, I would

1524
01:18:41,120 --> 01:18:42,920
Speaker 1: actually move the eagles up to number three. I'm with

1525
01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:44,640
Speaker 1: Bo here. I think they have all the pieces that

1526
01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:46,320
Speaker 1: you need to be a top three team in this league,

1527
01:18:46,320 --> 01:18:48,040
Speaker 1: which is a great qb. I mean Jalen hurts it

1528
01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:50,519
Speaker 1: off to a hot start. They've got a great defense

1529
01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:52,920
Speaker 1: that definitely rebounded after a week one, and I mean

1530
01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:54,840
Speaker 1: I think the thing that's really stringing it all together

1531
01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:56,679
Speaker 1: for them right now is just how great their offensive

1532
01:18:56,720 --> 01:18:58,880
Speaker 1: line is. I know that's not the sexiest part about

1533
01:18:58,920 --> 01:19:01,000
Speaker 1: a football team, but I mean they have been fantastic

1534
01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:03,599
Speaker 1: and Um, I mean I just I think they're top

1535
01:19:03,640 --> 01:19:04,880
Speaker 1: three team there. They should be right up there in

1536
01:19:04,880 --> 01:19:11,479
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl conversation. The whole Tampa Bay's Ford and

1537
01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:14,519
Speaker 1: they have excellent defense. They do, which is but that

1538
01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:20,080
Speaker 1: they've also played, you know, predominantly not Dak Prescott and jamises.

1539
01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:23,719
Speaker 1: So you know this week they get Rogers. So we'll see. Yeah,

1540
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:31,240
Speaker 1: next all right. The Eagles were four, packers were number

1541
01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:36,760
Speaker 1: five and Mr Prescoe's power rankings chargers six takes us

1542
01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:42,280
Speaker 1: to number seven and the Los Angeles Rams Higher, lower

1543
01:19:42,600 --> 01:19:46,240
Speaker 1: or just right, I think. I think. I don't think

1544
01:19:46,280 --> 01:19:51,160
Speaker 1: they're very good, like right now. I think the dolphins

1545
01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:52,720
Speaker 1: could beat him, I think the niners can beat them,

1546
01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:53,920
Speaker 1: I think the Ravens can beat them, I think the

1547
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:55,519
Speaker 1: Vikings can bet him, I think we can beat him.

1548
01:19:55,520 --> 01:19:58,120
Speaker 1: I think the cards can beat them. I don't. They

1549
01:19:58,160 --> 01:20:01,000
Speaker 1: don't impress me. So what's that Twain? That don't impress

1550
01:20:01,040 --> 01:20:04,599
Speaker 1: me much. Yeah, they don't impress me much at all.

1551
01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:07,559
Speaker 1: The way that they just allowed Atlanta to come back

1552
01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:11,360
Speaker 1: in that game. Stafford doesn't look great, Alan Robinson doesn't

1553
01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:14,439
Speaker 1: give them nothing. He's just he's he's like Matt Ryan

1554
01:20:14,520 --> 01:20:18,559
Speaker 1: on the Gooses, Cook Tour Um. They're not scary. They're

1555
01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:21,840
Speaker 1: not scary. Yeah, that's what I was gonna say, Nathan.

1556
01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:23,800
Speaker 1: They're not. They're not scary and they haven't shown anything

1557
01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:25,960
Speaker 1: that should like suggest that they're as good as they

1558
01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:29,439
Speaker 1: were last year. Yeah, that's what they need. I think

1559
01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:32,160
Speaker 1: they got back there. I think he's gonna go back there. Yeah,

1560
01:20:32,160 --> 01:20:34,599
Speaker 1: it feels like yeah, but I mean it was another

1561
01:20:34,640 --> 01:20:37,080
Speaker 1: bad week for Jalen Ramsey. You know, I know it's

1562
01:20:37,160 --> 01:20:39,120
Speaker 1: drake London. He's one of the top receivers, but he

1563
01:20:39,160 --> 01:20:40,920
Speaker 1: still had a great game. Eighty five receiving yards and

1564
01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:43,080
Speaker 1: a touchdown, I think. and Um, I mean what have

1565
01:20:43,160 --> 01:20:45,760
Speaker 1: they shown? A four point whenever the Falcons doesn't move

1566
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:47,200
Speaker 1: the needle at all with the rams from what they

1567
01:20:47,240 --> 01:20:50,479
Speaker 1: showed a week ago. Bishop, do you fear Tampa Bay

1568
01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:52,880
Speaker 1: Moore or the rams more? I like how you pivoted

1569
01:20:52,880 --> 01:20:54,160
Speaker 1: there because you knew I was just gonna say the

1570
01:20:54,200 --> 01:20:56,519
Speaker 1: same thing. That's a big giant pe moment out of

1571
01:20:56,560 --> 01:20:59,639
Speaker 1: you just wanting your genus. Good job. I got rams.

1572
01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:04,360
Speaker 1: I'M gonna have. I said it was emphasizing rams lower

1573
01:21:04,640 --> 01:21:08,320
Speaker 1: and I fear Tampa Bay more with Mike Evans. I

1574
01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:10,720
Speaker 1: think they have more weapons. The Rams right now are

1575
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:14,439
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup dependent entirely. They can't really run it, they

1576
01:21:14,479 --> 01:21:16,120
Speaker 1: don't have anybody else they can trust to throw it

1577
01:21:16,280 --> 01:21:21,880
Speaker 1: and Stafford's elbow ain't right. So I know, no, I

1578
01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:28,559
Speaker 1: don't like it. I don't like it. Next, lower, alright,

1579
01:21:28,960 --> 01:21:33,720
Speaker 1: the dolphins at number eight, at number nine, The Sun

1580
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:38,080
Speaker 1: Francisco Niners, and we'll get pedro in just a few minutes.

1581
01:21:38,479 --> 01:21:43,559
Speaker 1: But poisal higher. Lower. On the niners. Yes, I'm gonna

1582
01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:46,560
Speaker 1: say just right. I think Jimmy G is good of

1583
01:21:46,640 --> 01:21:48,439
Speaker 1: a backup option as they could ask for. Obviously, I

1584
01:21:48,479 --> 01:21:50,800
Speaker 1: mean I know we've talked about that before, when when

1585
01:21:50,800 --> 01:21:53,439
Speaker 1: they signed them to that big extension. Um, I think

1586
01:21:53,479 --> 01:21:56,320
Speaker 1: they'll be okay with Jimmy G at quarterback and Um,

1587
01:21:56,560 --> 01:21:58,080
Speaker 1: you know, they're one and one right now and and

1588
01:21:58,200 --> 01:22:00,560
Speaker 1: they're in a division that is had some teams that

1589
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:03,240
Speaker 1: are unperformed, with the rams and obviously the seahawks. So yeah,

1590
01:22:03,320 --> 01:22:05,920
Speaker 1: I think it's just right for the niners. They're better

1591
01:22:05,960 --> 01:22:07,880
Speaker 1: with Garoppolo than they were with Lance. They're more of

1592
01:22:07,920 --> 01:22:09,880
Speaker 1: a contender in the NFC with Garoppolo than they would

1593
01:22:09,880 --> 01:22:12,880
Speaker 1: have been with Lance. They right now. If I were

1594
01:22:12,920 --> 01:22:15,880
Speaker 1: to rank the NFC, I would have because you gotta

1595
01:22:15,880 --> 01:22:20,559
Speaker 1: remember they lost in a deluge in Chicago with Lance,

1596
01:22:21,640 --> 01:22:25,439
Speaker 1: so throw that one out. Just on what I see,

1597
01:22:25,640 --> 01:22:27,280
Speaker 1: I would have them as the second best team in

1598
01:22:27,280 --> 01:22:31,280
Speaker 1: the NFC behind the eagles. Them are the them of

1599
01:22:31,320 --> 01:22:34,479
Speaker 1: the niners. Then the niners are really close. Jimmy's back.

1600
01:22:35,560 --> 01:22:39,000
Speaker 1: You're handsomeers are back. The last two seasons with him,

1601
01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:44,160
Speaker 1: nobody remembers this Super Bowl Championship. Jimmy, we're back, baby

1602
01:22:44,320 --> 01:22:50,439
Speaker 1: gold rush. He's better than Steve Young. Steve Young, last

1603
01:22:50,439 --> 01:22:51,880
Speaker 1: time we were two and oh it was Steve Young

1604
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:55,120
Speaker 1: coming to Cleveland throwing eight thousand picks against the browns

1605
01:22:55,160 --> 01:23:03,519
Speaker 1: in nineteen. So your boy, your boy next. All Right,

1606
01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:05,640
Speaker 1: I'M gonna add a few more in here as we

1607
01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:10,479
Speaker 1: go through things. The Ravens number ten, the Vikings Eleven.

1608
01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:15,280
Speaker 1: The Arizona Cardinals number twelve. Bishop, will start with you.

1609
01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:25,040
Speaker 1: Higher lower, just right for Kyler cliff and company. I

1610
01:23:25,080 --> 01:23:27,439
Speaker 1: don't know what you do with this, because, Al Right,

1611
01:23:27,479 --> 01:23:28,760
Speaker 1: here's what I'm gonna tell you. I feel like we

1612
01:23:28,840 --> 01:23:32,240
Speaker 1: beat them right now too. It was really fortunate they

1613
01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:34,400
Speaker 1: were to come back and beat the raiders, getting them

1614
01:23:34,439 --> 01:23:42,599
Speaker 1: credit for that. Can I say that? From eleven two twenty,

1615
01:23:43,160 --> 01:23:46,960
Speaker 1: he's got the Jaguars twenty two, from eleven to twenty two.

1616
01:23:47,080 --> 01:23:49,240
Speaker 1: Throw him in a bag, pick him out and you

1617
01:23:49,439 --> 01:23:51,760
Speaker 1: tell me you could make you could convince me of

1618
01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:53,559
Speaker 1: any of them. Bump the lines up a little bit

1619
01:23:53,600 --> 01:23:56,439
Speaker 1: into that. You could, but like they the Leons could.

1620
01:23:56,479 --> 01:23:58,680
Speaker 1: Where to? Where does he have the Leons? He got

1621
01:23:58,680 --> 01:24:02,160
Speaker 1: them colts five. Yeah, like the Lions are too low.

1622
01:24:02,479 --> 01:24:04,639
Speaker 1: The lions are better than the colts, the titans, the jets,

1623
01:24:04,760 --> 01:24:07,840
Speaker 1: for sure, but the rest of these teams in here,

1624
01:24:08,040 --> 01:24:10,640
Speaker 1: every single one of them. I mean we have the

1625
01:24:10,760 --> 01:24:16,080
Speaker 1: least flaws of all of them. The Vikings at home

1626
01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:18,519
Speaker 1: are really good. I mean there where there need to be.

1627
01:24:18,760 --> 01:24:20,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just I still don't like the

1628
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:24,080
Speaker 1: cardinals thing. It's weird. Did you guys know in the game,

1629
01:24:24,600 --> 01:24:26,760
Speaker 1: in their game against the raiders, they came out like

1630
01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:31,000
Speaker 1: really run heavy and like it was so strange how

1631
01:24:31,080 --> 01:24:33,519
Speaker 1: they went about their business. Like I would think, like

1632
01:24:33,640 --> 01:24:37,240
Speaker 1: you hive cliff, you drafted Kyler, being the gun with

1633
01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:40,000
Speaker 1: four wide and let him live. Oh, they didn't have Rondale.

1634
01:24:40,080 --> 01:24:42,400
Speaker 1: They didn't have Hopkins, I know. I don't think they

1635
01:24:42,479 --> 01:24:45,519
Speaker 1: had four receivers, because all of them are know. Now

1636
01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:48,160
Speaker 1: some guy named Dorche is blowing up. Yeah, I don't know.

1637
01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:51,439
Speaker 1: Was the third best? Spin around? Spread it around for

1638
01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:54,040
Speaker 1: the kid. All right, we got sixty seconds left, so

1639
01:24:54,439 --> 01:24:57,679
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go and ask UH. Factor fiction, instead

1640
01:24:57,680 --> 01:25:02,960
Speaker 1: of higher, lower, I like it. Another pivot, facon. Oh,

1641
01:25:03,240 --> 01:25:07,000
Speaker 1: well done, Madison. There's a girl factor. Fiction. Falcons ranked

1642
01:25:07,040 --> 01:25:13,000
Speaker 1: thirty two. Fiction, worst team in the league. Fiction, fiction, fiction.

1643
01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:15,640
Speaker 1: I think they're better than the panthers, who stink. They

1644
01:25:15,680 --> 01:25:17,599
Speaker 1: are better than the other yeah, I'm going fiction too.

1645
01:25:17,600 --> 01:25:19,439
Speaker 1: I think the panthers are the last are the worst

1646
01:25:19,479 --> 01:25:21,080
Speaker 1: team in this league, and I would even put the

1647
01:25:21,080 --> 01:25:23,439
Speaker 1: falcons above the Texans. I'm gonna tell you what, the

1648
01:25:23,560 --> 01:25:25,599
Speaker 1: colts aren't far off of that, based on what we've
