Speaker 1: Barria at the Cross Country Mortgage Campus. Practice could be

9
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,040

10
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 1: agreement in place, these next few days are considered acclamation periods.

11
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 1: The Brown's first practice today was a walkthrough and conditioning

00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: receiver Javon Wims with an illness. While there wasn't much

19
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: on the field, there was plenty of activity during media

20
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: availability as head coach Kevin Stefanski, All Pro defensive end

21
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett, cornerback Greg Knewsom, the second in Pro Bowl

22
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: running back Nick Chubb addressed the media before practice time

23
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: for five bites from the day, and we kicked things

24
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: off with head coach Kevin Stefanski welcoming everyone to the season.

25
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,559
Speaker 1: Welcome back. I really excited to be back here. Excited

26
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: to have the guys back in town. Yesterday was a

27
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: little bit like first day of school. So having the

28
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: upper classman coming back to school yesterday and UH greeting

29
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: the rookies and the quarterbacks that have been here for

30
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: a few days, I thought was a fun process to

31
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: get through. So a lot of meetings yesterday Today will

32
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: shift gears and we'll get into a walk through UH mode.

33
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: But really excited to be back. And I think the

34
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: guys UH you can see are ready to work, very

35
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: very pleased with where they are from a conditioning and

36
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: body standpoint. I think that was evident in their body

37
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: weights and their lean muscle mass and how they came

38
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: back here. These guys put in a ton of work

39
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: and I'm very appreciative. And then even UH, I think

40
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: it's obviously spent time with their playbooks that we just

41
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: had a walkthrough uh this morning. I was very impressed

42
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: with how on top of that the guys were so

43
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: they're locked in, which I appreciate. So we have miles

44
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: to go. We have a lot of work that we

45
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: have to do, but that work will really come on

46
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: the heels of a very good spring where the guys

47
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: put in some good reps and I'm appreciative of that

48
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 1: as well. Nick Chubb, fresh off squatting six pounds this

49
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: off season, added to the coaches comments on everyone being

50
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: here this offseason and putting in the work, adding that

51
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: the offense is already in a good spot coming into camp.

52
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 1: That was huge. I mean, we had almost everyone here

53
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: on offense and we're able to um get ahead of

54
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: the wave. Like we came in today. We pretty much

55
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,399
Speaker 1: knew the whole you know, everything first installed. It came easy. Coach.

56
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: If you asked this question this morning, everybody gave a

57
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: great answer to all the questions. So I would say

58
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: it benefited us a lot. For a guy like recently

59
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: extended tight end David and Joku, it's a time for reflection.

60
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: As the Brown's top tight end begins year number six

61
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: and a new role as the most tenured VET in

62
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: his position group. You know, honestly, um, I was drafted

63
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,399
Speaker 1: at twenty years old, so it took a long time

64
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: for me to finally be able to say that about myself.

65
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: So it's it's it's crazy, but you know, honestly, I

66
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: think it flew by these last five years, like I blinked,

67
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: and I'm already in year six. So whatever I can

68
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: do to help the men in that room, I'll gladly,

69
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: do you know. I feel like we can push each

70
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: other beyond limits that we limit ourselves with. So, like

71
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: I said, I americ excided, I get to get this started.

72
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: You've heard the crew on Cleveland Brown's Daily talk about

73
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: how good this defense can be. In two today in

74
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: my else Garrett's first press conference of the year, he

75
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: was asked how dominant this group could be as dominant

76
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: we want to be. I feel like that last year.

77
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: I feel like this this year. We have a lot

78
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: of talented guy all across the board, and I feel

79
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: like just this is probably the most well around the

80
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: week been no since I've been here. So I just

81
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: try to make the most of it and make plays

82
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: all up and down the field and take the ball away. Finally,

83
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: while we all await a decision in the Deshaun Watson case,

84
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: this team is focused on one goal and that is

85
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: to be ready to play Week one in Carolina. Second

86
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: year corner Greg Newsom the second feel like on at

87
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: least on paper right now, we're one of the most

88
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: talented groups. Um, But at the end of the day,

89
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: like we said, the paper doesn't mean anything. We have

90
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: to be able to translate it on the field. And

91
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: I just think this all season, just how we've all

92
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: jailed and you can just see the growth that we

93
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: had this off season. So, Um, like you said, we're

94
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: regardless of there's one too, whatever it may be, Um,

95
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: We'll be ready to go regardless week That's a look

96
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: at what happened on day one here in briat the

97
