00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 1: The week is often running at the Cross Country Mortgage Campus,

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: as the Browns turned their sights to the Cincinnati Bengals

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: this coming Sunday. On this episode, you'll hear from head

7
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: coach Kevin Stefanski, quarterback Joe Flacco, wide receiver Jerry Judy,

8
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: wide receiver Isaiah Bond, and cornerback Denzel Ward. We start

9
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: with head coach Kevin Stefanski, who talked about game planning

10
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: against the high powered Bengals offense.

11
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 3: Okay, great challenge this week home opener Division game. That's

12
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 3: it'll be a great experience, great environment for our fans,

13
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 3: for our football team. I have a ton of respect

14
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 3: for coach Taylor and the Bengals what they do. Obviously,

15
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 3: we know there what they've shown over the years. I

16
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 3: mean coach Taylor, I think he's going into year seven,

17
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,959
Speaker 3: Burrow year six, a lot of continuity along their offense.

18
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 3: We know how talented the players are route that roster. Defensively,

19
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:07,839
Speaker 3: Al Golden new defensive coordinator was there previously Notre Dame,

20
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 3: most recently obviously great, great coach so there is unknown

21
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 3: on that side of the ball, but really good players

22
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 3: as we know. Trey Hendrickson h led the league in

23
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 3: sacks special teams. Darren Simmons has been doing it there

24
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 3: for a long time and doing it at a very

25
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 3: high level. So they're always really well coached. Uh, we

26
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 3: have to be about our business. So awesome challenge for

27
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 3: this football team this week, and we're underwaying our preparations

28
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 3: and with that, I'll take any questions.

29
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 4: Paman intentionally vanilla. Then he's you, guys know what what

30
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 4: is a young for? What? What is his u what

31
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 4: is his system?

32
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 3: Well, it's tough to answer, Tony, because you really you

33
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 3: have to be aware for the unknown he has. He

34
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 3: can do anything from a front standpoint, from a cover

35
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 3: Samuel He's done. Uh, you can go into his pass

36
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 3: and find an example of everything. I know they're gonna

37
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 3: be sound. I know they'll be aggressive. He does a

38
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 3: great job, but I know he'll base it on his

39
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 3: roster as well. So, like you said, very vanilla in

40
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 3: the preseason, but we you really have to be ready

41
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 3: for the unknowns. And that's that's week one, certainly, when

42
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 3: you're going up against a coordinator that's new. It's it's

43
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 3: week one with you as a football team, and in

44
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 3: this case, our offense has to be ready for unscouted looks.

45
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 5: Well learn the preseason about Gibbings, their starters, master reps

46
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 5: obviously known for still starts in recent years.

47
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 4: Are you able to glean anything from.

48
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 5: That or is it you know, basically been out and

49
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 5: you have to maybe lean on.

50
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,399
Speaker 4: You know, last year's years. Yeah.

51
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 3: I don't know that anybody puts great stock in the

52
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 3: preseason on a per play basis. I do think you

53
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 3: can look at some of the new players and how

54
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 3: they fit, their their physical traits and those type of things.

55
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 6: But to say that.

56
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 3: You're gonna glean a lot from the preseason, I don't

57
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 3: think is true in most places this game.

58
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 7: You know, you don't have quin Shawn, It's not exactly

59
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 7: what you were picturing.

60
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 8: But just how do you feel.

61
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 9: About it in the gym?

62
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, our guys have worked very hard, Mary Kay, going

63
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 3: back to when we added coach Bloomgren with Tommy Reese,

64
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 3: really making sure that we're have a sound run game.

65
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 3: You know, when you talk about the run game, it

66
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 3: really it's easy to say the running backs, the offensive line,

67
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 3: but it does take everybody. We need wide receivers that

68
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 3: can block. You need quarterbacks to get you in and

69
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 3: out of the right plays. So I think the guys

70
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 3: have put in a ton of work into their run game,

71
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 3: and I know.

72
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 6: That those guys are excited about some of the things

73
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 6: we're doing.

74
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 3: But you have to go do it on in the

75
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 3: games as well.

76
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 10: Long at that left tackle spot, and how much of

77
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 10: a test is is this against a division opponent?

78
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, huge test. Obviously, Trey Hendrickson lines up over there

79
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 3: quite a bit. He can line up anywhere. But uh,

80
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 3: he led the league in sacks for a reason. He's

81
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 3: his motor, he never stops uh, and he's powerful, he's

82
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 3: got speed, he can bend, Uh, he can play the run.

83
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 6: So he's really a due, do it all player.

84
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 7: Uh.

85
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 3: It's it's never going to be about one person blocking

86
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 3: one person. You know, this game does come down to

87
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 3: matchups quite a bit, but it's really incumbent on everybody

88
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 3: to be about their business.

89
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 6: When you're going up against a rusher like that. Do

90
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 6: you expect everyone but might call of me to be all.

91
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to focus on today. But I think

92
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 3: we're in good shape today I think Mike's the only

93
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 3: one not practicing.

94
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 4: Is always so close first really live game.

95
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 2: How much How confident are you that he'll.

96
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 4: Be all on the lead.

97
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm very confident in Andre. He's worked very hard

98
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 3: going back through the spring and summer. Jeff, he's been

99
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 3: down to our stadium to kick a few times even

100
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 3: this week.

101
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 6: So feel really good about where he.

102
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 9: Is to that defensive front for them.

103
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 4: What is what have you seen out of him?

104
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 9: You know, now that he's on the field for them,

105
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 9: you know what can he provide you know, kind of

106
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 9: alongside trade for them?

107
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 4: Yeah?

108
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 3: Really good player. Did a lot of work on him

109
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 3: this spring heading up to the draft. Really talented, gifted,

110
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 3: uh physically smart player, plays hard. So yeah, anytime you

111
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 3: can add additional edge guys, especially with an elite edge

112
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 3: guy already there, I think it's it's a it's a

113
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 3: big thing for a defense.

114
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 11: Into the last couple of seasons.

115
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 12: What are you seeing from him?

116
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 13: And obviously he's got he's got t back.

117
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a great player. I have a ton of

118
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 3: respect for how he goes about his business. If you

119
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 3: look at the stats, I mean, he's at the top

120
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 3: of the lists for everything as well as as well

121
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 3: are the wide receivers are outstanding. So it's a great

122
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 3: test for our team.

123
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 2: In particular seem to really enjoy this specific matchup with

124
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 2: the Bengals.

125
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 14: What are you seeing from as they get ready to

126
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 14: go against Jamar Chase C Higgins.

127
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 15: What's their excitement level?

128
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 3: Well, it's kind of related to the previous question about Dewan.

129
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 3: It's never about gonna one person stopping one person.

130
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 6: They're they're a great team. We have to play.

131
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 3: We have to focus obviously on them and have their respect,

132
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 3: and we also have to be about our business. We

133
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 3: have to play with great fundamentals, play great team defense,

134
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 3: and as you know, this is the NFL. Guys love

135
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 3: matchups like this. They love when there's great players across

136
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 3: the field from them. So that's what our league is

137
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 3: built upon.

138
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 16: That's that the Bengals have in their receiving core. How

139
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 16: important is it to apply pressure to Joe early and.

140
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 9: Kind of just put him in tough situations.

141
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 12: From that defensive front.

142
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, he's a great player, Kelsey. He's good

143
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 3: versus the blitz. He's good when you don't blitz. He's

144
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 3: good when he holds the ball. He's good when he

145
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 3: gets the ball out, So it really comes back to

146
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 3: playing sound defense across the board.

147
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 6: This is a huge, huge challenge. It's a really good scheme.

148
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 3: They have good players across the board, but we have

149
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 3: to be about our business.

150
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 15: But surely you've got a concern you wanted to ship

151
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 15: your concerns about with your team going.

152
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 4: Into the sea?

153
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 6: Am I willing to No? Surely you can't be serious.

154
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 11: Can you just kind of maybe talk a little bit

155
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 11: about how you feel about where he stands right now,

156
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 11: having gone through a four week competition, maybe not getting

157
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 11: all the reps early on, but picking it up later.

158
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 9: How is he.

159
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 3: Looked and how's he Yeah, Joe's done a nice job,

160
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 3: Mary Kay, I would go back to how we structured

161
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 3: the off season, how we structured training camp, named him

162
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 3: the starter going into that RAMS week, and he's gotten

163
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 3: all of the work since then with those ones to

164
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 3: sharpen up his game, get comfortable with the guys around him.

165
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 3: So he's done a really nice job to date.

166
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 4: That's ANOD thirty eight. Can you imagine him.

167
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 3: He told us that story this week, that week or

168
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 3: this week about that play.

169
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 6: I don't know that we pulled it up. I don't

170
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 6: know if our tape goes.

171
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 3: Back that far, but uh yeah, that's a hey, he's

172
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 3: still he can still move.

173
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 6: You know, the Good Lord has blessed.

174
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 4: Him with.

175
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 9: You know, scene improvement can almost it could be in

176
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 9: the most minute thing. But where has he maybe grown

177
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 9: the most as a quarterback? Where do you see you know,

178
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 9: just a difference in him from you know, the player

179
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 9: you saw as.

180
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 6: A run He's great, Chris.

181
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 3: You know, I've his first year was my first year,

182
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 3: so I've seen a lot of games from him. He's yeah,

183
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 3: I mean, you name it. It's I'll run out of

184
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 3: things to say about him. Physically, can do it all.

185
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 3: Mentally it can beat you. So no weakness in his game.

186
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 17: The biggest momentcy he's usually shows up, but especially in

187
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 17: these matters with guys like Burrows, some of the better

188
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 17: quarterbacks sleep when the mars on the schedule. How much

189
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 17: do you see him sort of relish those opportunities to

190
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 17: go against those great quarterbacks?

191
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, Miles is extremely competitive. You know.

192
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 3: I don't know that he needs any more motivation ever

193
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 3: to get up and play for games, and so I

194
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 3: think he treats all the games the same. He just

195
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 3: loves to compete, and we'll need him. That's He's obviously

196
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 3: a huge part of who we are. He's a huge

197
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 3: part of our team, is a huge part of our

198
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 3: defense and affecting the game, you know, typically is something

199
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 3: that gives us a chance when he plays like he's capable.

200
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 15: Of quarterbacks starting in week one, forty year older. We've

201
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 15: had a run of them the past couple of years

202
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 15: with Breeze Brady Rogers. You think we'll see more quarterbacks

203
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 15: playing into their forties now, just with the modern game.

204
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 6: It seems that way.

205
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 3: It seems with the how these guys are taking care

206
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 3: of their bodies off the field. Certainly the rule changes

207
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 3: probably help the health of the quarterbacks long term, which

208
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 3: I think is a good thing for our for our league.

209
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 6: So I do think that's that's something that's here to stay.

210
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 13: The same as twenty twenty three or better, because he

211
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 13: had a whole training camp.

212
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 3: Which well, I mean physically he's the same, but kind

213
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 3: of to the point that Mary Kay brought up, he's

214
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 3: had a lot of work with us going back through

215
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 3: the spring and training camp, and a lot of work here.

216
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 3: So I think twenty three it was a very, very

217
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 3: different situation in terms of when he got to the team.

218
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 13: They were getting back to your offense. It seems like

219
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 13: that's kind of been a sentiment throughout. You know, players

220
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 13: on the offensive side. What makes your offense so player front?

221
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 3: Well, I think Joel came back because we put a

222
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 3: golf simulator in upstairs. Yeah, you guys have heard me

223
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 3: say this before. It's it's it's really the Cleveland Browns offense.

224
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 3: It's twenty twenty five version of that offense. So what

225
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 3: we will always try to do is maximize our players.

226
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 3: And that's that's that's the quarterbacks, that's the receivers, et cetera.

227
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 3: So that's all we're trying to do is maximize our guys.

228
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 15: The pass game, but just what have you seen from

229
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,479
Speaker 15: their run game seems a little bit unproven.

230
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 6: They're good.

231
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 3: I mean, they have massive tackles, They've invested in the interior.

232
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 3: I think Chase Brown's outstanding. He can really really hurt

233
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 3: you in the pass game and the run game. Very

234
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 3: smart runner, always falling forward, so they have multiple tight

235
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 3: ends that can play in various schemes.

236
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 6: So it's a good rush attack.

237
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 5: Of course, you know a HEROLD fan, you know you

238
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 5: go back to the two tight ends.

239
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 16: That's now we know what David can do.

240
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 5: But just how excited you used to see him in

241
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 5: live game action and really get to exploit what.

242
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 4: He can do within the office.

243
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, he's a rookie, so this is first

244
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 3: opportunity out there. I mean, obviously played in the preseason,

245
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 3: played well and was able to see it. But the

246
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 3: young guys that are going to get better every single game.

247
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 3: So we'll put some stuff on their plate and see

248
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 3: what they can handle, and if they can handle that,

249
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 3: we'll do a little bit more. But I think with

250
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 3: all of our young players, you want to make sure

251
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 3: that they're ready for the roles that they've earned.

252
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 6: And Harold certainly has earned a role.

253
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 3: But you know, I do want to make a point

254
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 3: that these young players will continue to get better over

255
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 3: the course of the season.

256
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 6: Parted in the Rams game.

257
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,719
Speaker 4: But how would you sum up where he is being

258
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 4: here so much?

259
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's done a really nice job, Tony.

260
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 3: He's worked extra with coach Oha, coach Bravo Brown in

261
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 3: terms of getting up to speed. He's very very smart,

262
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 3: so that's that's very helpful when it comes to creating

263
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 3: roles for players, so very similar response to what I

264
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 3: just said about Harold. We'll see what he can handle.

265
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 3: But he's mentally and physically done a really nice job.

266
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: Up next to his quarterback Joe Flacco, who discussed entering

267
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: his nineteenth NFL season first game.

268
00:12:59,480 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 4: Against this.

269
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was uh, it was a reverse.

270
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 8: It was one of two reverses that we scored on

271
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 8: and I I was supposed to hand it the to

272
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 8: uh Laurron McLain. He was supposed to handle the receiver.

273
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 8: I think Laron kind of forgot that that was.

274
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 2: Happening and.

275
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 8: I could have just handed it as the receiver, but

276
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 8: I kind of just was just kind of just took

277
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 8: it around the side myself. I was gonna just go run,

278
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 8: take the first down and get out of bounds, and

279
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 8: I kind of got to that point it was like, alright,

280
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 8: I might as well keep going, and you know the

281
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 8: rest is history just ended up. No, I have not, Joe,

282
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 8: what do you.

283
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 16: Remember about that week making your first time story?

284
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 8: Ah, dude, I don't know, man, I'm not not much honestly.

285
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 8: I guess I could try to put myself back in

286
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 8: that situation.

287
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 4: You know.

288
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 8: I I it was a it was a camp where

289
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 8: I didn't get a ton of reps and.

290
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 2: You know, found out that was gonna be the starter very.

291
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 8: Late in the preseason, so it was it was kind

292
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 8: of all a whirlwind at that point. Just feel any different,

293
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 8: do you, guy or.

294
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 4: Other starts to a season.

295
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 8: I think, no matter how long you've been in it,

296
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,079
Speaker 8: how many games you've played, they all feel pretty similar.

297
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 4: You know.

298
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 2: I think we're we're excited to get going.

299
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 8: You know, any time you you haven't been at it

300
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 8: for you know, six seven months, you're excited to get

301
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 8: out there and get going and see what the team's gonna

302
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 8: be made up.

303
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 7: So starting against Bengals AFC North game and you know,

304
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 7: knowing that you're very first was of course against them

305
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 7: an opener. Uh, just how kind of special is just

306
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 7: how excited are you gonna?

307
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 4: Still?

308
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think any time you open up against uh

309
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 8: a division opponent.

310
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 2: It makes it you know, Uh, I know you don't

311
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 2: want to say that much more important because they're all important,

312
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 2: but you know, these division games, you know they can

313
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 2: be tough and they're gonna be a battle till the end.

314
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 8: So you just got to make sure you're ready to

315
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 8: go and uh, you know, I I think I think

316
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 8: the way we prepare this week well kind of tell

317
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 8: us tell us a lot about ourselves.

318
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 2: You kind of give us a state of block out

319
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 2: of when you were naming the starting quarterback.

320
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 4: But now that you've been through the entire training camp in.

321
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 18: Your eighteenth here give us a state of blockout physically

322
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 18: and mentally.

323
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 2: I feel good.

324
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 8: I think it's just you know, the constant reminders of

325
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 8: just you know, play your role, do your part.

326
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 2: You know that this is a this is a team.

327
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 8: Game, and it's about you know, all of us going

328
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 8: out there and preparing to do our job the right way,

329
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 8: you know, getting through training camp and getting ready to

330
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 8: go into this open right. I feel good, But you know, hey,

331
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 8: I think everybody usually feels pretty good, even if they've

332
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 8: had a hard training camp. Everybody feels pretty good heading

333
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 8: into week one. So you know, it's just a it's

334
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 8: it's a matter of realizing that this may be the

335
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 8: last time you feel one hundred percent and kind of

336
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 8: just going in there with with an open mind and

337
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 8: having a lot of fun.

338
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 2: Such a special money match up.

339
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 16: What gets you guys excited to.

340
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 19: Go against each other?

341
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 2: I think being in this division for a while.

342
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,119
Speaker 8: You're you're I mean, historically you're still you're playing against

343
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 8: you know, some teams that you know, you're playing outside,

344
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 8: you're playing against good defenses.

345
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 2: You're playing teams that want to be physical.

346
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 8: They they you know, I'm sure if you go into

347
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 8: these team meetings then and you go into their offense

348
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 8: and defensive meetings, I'm sure being physical is a big

349
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 8: part of what they want to accomplish as a team.

350
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 8: So I think in this division, I think that's what

351
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 8: you think about, is is that side of the game

352
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 8: a little bit of a throwback.

353
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 4: Now.

354
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 2: Obviously teams are.

355
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 8: Throwing the ball a lot, but that doesn't take away

356
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 8: the fact that you want to be physical and you know,

357
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 8: kind of impose your will on teams.

358
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 2: Your defense is such a mystery.

359
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 4: You don't show anything. How do you prepare? How do

360
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 4: you know where to attack?

361
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 8: Well, listen, I mean, you got to gather as much

362
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 8: info as you can and then you just got to

363
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 8: trust your process and go out there and do what

364
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 8: you do. And you know, there's gonna be some things

365
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 8: that I'm sure they're gonna surprise us with, and you

366
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 8: got to you got to be able to trust your

367
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 8: fundamentals and go out there and operate as such that.

368
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 14: You're expecting from that one.

369
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, you do.

370
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 8: I don't know if I want to share too much

371
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 8: about what I feel like they're gonna do. I mean,

372
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:29,719
Speaker 8: but I think we, you know, have gone down you know,

373
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,719
Speaker 8: the whole of what they're going to try to do,

374
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 8: and obviously feel like, you know, we got a little

375
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 8: bit of a beat on on what that may be.

376
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 8: But like I said, you never know what kind of

377
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 8: game is going to turn into once you get out

378
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 8: there and we both start flying Joe with.

379
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 5: Depression to trade Henderson what the week the sacks last year,

380
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 5: how do you, I guess, prevent him from not giving

381
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 5: a laws of what you want to do.

382
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's a hell of a player. I've gone against

383
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 8: them multiple times. I mean, he's gonna make his presence felt.

384
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 8: You know, players like that, they usually find a way to,

385
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 8: you know, to do that. So once once again for us,

386
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 8: it just goes back to fundamentals, playing within ourselves, obviously

387
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 8: having a plan to take care of that, and then

388
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 8: not overreacting, you know, if he makes a play here

389
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 8: and there, just getting back to the core part of

390
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 8: the game plan and trying to take care of as

391
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 8: much as we can.

392
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 20: The ninth guy in the NFL hits a quarterback to

393
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 20: start a game. Time imb, that's a point where he thought.

394
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 16: Game I could play at forty.

395
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 8: I don't think I've ever given it too much thought

396
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 8: about whether I could play at a certain age or not.

397
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 8: It's just I I still feel like I can play,

398
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 8: and I don't even look at it as I still

399
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 8: feel like I can.

400
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 2: I just this is what I do.

401
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 8: I play football, and I've been fortunate enough to not

402
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 8: really get out of that mindset.

403
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 2: There's been times, obviously throughout.

404
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 8: My career where I wouldn't have necessarily thought that this

405
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 8: was going to happen. But I'm grateful to be in

406
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:01,719
Speaker 8: this position and excited to do it.

407
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 7: Joey had talked a couple of times through our training

408
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 7: came about how it wasn't necessarily ideal in terms of

409
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 7: getting every single one of those first team rops and

410
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 7: making sure those guys knew you were the one.

411
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 4: Do you feel like you were.

412
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,719
Speaker 7: Able to make up for that as time went on,

413
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 7: and how do you feel about that whole chemistry piece now?

414
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 2: I do.

415
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 8: There's so many things about every training camp and every

416
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 8: situation that you're in that aren't necessarily ideal, but that's

417
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 8: not necessarily what's ideal for the team. I think the

418
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,719
Speaker 8: best thing for this team was to kind of have

419
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 8: the process that we had, And even though I may

420
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 8: personally not feel like that was the best thing for myself,

421
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 8: I can get on board and see how that was

422
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 8: important for the team to go through this process. So

423
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 8: therefore I'm willing to kind of and I have been

424
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 8: willing to kind of play that role and go through

425
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 8: that process and just be the best version of myself

426
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 8: I can be. And now heading into the season, like

427
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 8: like I said, I think it was the best process

428
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 8: for this team to go through that, And yeah, I

429
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 8: feel like there's plenty of time for me to make

430
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 8: sure that I got the reps and felt comfortable with

431
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 8: all the guys around me.

432
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 5: Joe.

433
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 20: But I know we bring up with the storyline of

434
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 20: twenty twenty three a lot.

435
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 21: But comparing to that situation you were in to now,

436
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 21: what's your level of comfortability and confidence with the.

437
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 4: Office the offense compared.

438
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm sure it's Listen, it's obvious that you when

439
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 8: it's obvious when you've called some plays in the huddle

440
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 8: and practiced a bunch for here for months that you're

441
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 8: a little bit more comfortable in the offense than coming

442
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 8: in a week later doing it for the first time.

443
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 8: To quantify how much, you know, it's it's hard to say,

444
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 8: but you know, I love the guys that we have

445
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 8: in that huddle and the guys that we have in

446
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 8: this locker room, and you know, I think that that's

447
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 8: an important part of it. So that's where I think

448
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,880
Speaker 8: that it's a little bit you know, it's a little

449
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 8: bit nicer to have been around here for the time

450
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 8: I have, because you know, you make those relationships stronger,

451
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 8: and those are the guys you're going to be in

452
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 8: the field with battling on Sunday, so you want to

453
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 8: have those relationships are.

454
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:09,479
Speaker 16: So like unpredictable feet away. How do you feel about.

455
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 5: Just kind of the us or a training get especially

456
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 5: but from training camp start training camp on, how have

457
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 5: you guys kind of.

458
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 16: Prepare if you feel like you've got to be able to.

459
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 17: Set yourselves up to the bad and these things that

460
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 17: kind of have token.

461
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 16: Where you're kind of paying things out.

462
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, because I think the focus on training camp is yourself.

463
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 8: You know, it's it's looking inward and finding out what

464
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 8: we can be better at, what we want our identity,

465
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 8: what we want our identity to be. And I think

466
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 8: Week one is a lot about doing those kind of things.

467
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 8: So if we can kind of go out there and

468
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,959
Speaker 8: and you know, live up to what we've kind of

469
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 8: set up for ourselves and the expectations we've set, then

470
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 8: I think all those other things will fall into place.

471
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 8: It's about what we can do to kind of just

472
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 8: you know, play the type play the type of game

473
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 8: we want to do.

474
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 2: We want to play.

475
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 7: Against a quarterbacks that the NFL would kind of touchdowns

476
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 7: last year. How does that change your mindset going into

477
00:21:58,640 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 7: this game?

478
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 9: And just in general, what do you.

479
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 2: Listen.

480
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 8: I think everybody's a fan, you know in some respects,

481
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 8: so you understand what those guys can do. But at

482
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 8: the same time, you know, when you when you start

483
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 8: worrying about things that are out of your control, uh,

484
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 8: then you don't really play the way you want to play.

485
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 8: So I think for us on the offensive side of

486
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 8: the ball, it's just mastering our game plan and mastering

487
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 8: the things that we can do to kind of play

488
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 8: our role and you know, do the best we cand

489
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 8: on our side of the ball. We have a lot

490
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 8: of trust on the guys on the other side of

491
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 8: the ball, and that's ultimately.

492
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 2: Going to be be their challenge.

493
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 7: And what do you think of as you watched us?

494
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, obviously he's done a really good job.

495
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 8: I mean he's coming into the league and when he's

496
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 8: been behind center, he's been able to go out there

497
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 8: and have a lot of success, make quick decisions, but

498
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 8: also have the feel to extend plays when he has

499
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 8: to get the ball to his playmakers.

500
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 2: So he's done a great job.

501
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 16: Stand the reason that trying to take.

502
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 2: Years what happened in the morning.

503
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 8: Or I think that's the one advantage of this is

504
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 8: the one thing about quarterback is I I feel like mentally,

505
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 8: you know, you do become a better quarterback, a more

506
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 8: experienced quarterback. You're always learning something, So I feel if

507
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 8: you can keep your physical attributes the same, or if

508
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 8: you were just to just call those even then yes,

509
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 8: I think as the years go on, you do gain

510
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 8: knowledge and become better at the position.

511
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: Wide receiver Jerry Judy talked about his confidence entering his

512
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 1: second full season with the Browns.

513
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 13: Well, starting your second season here, you get the other

514
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 13: player right now than.

515
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 4: You were in your girl.

516
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 18: Yeah, you know, I've been putting a lot of work

517
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 18: throughout the off season, you know, and you know having

518
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 18: a year out that I had last year just gives

519
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 18: them more confident confidence to be able to do the

520
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 18: same thing again this year. So you know, I'm very

521
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 18: confident and excited about the season.

522
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 5: Right now.

523
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 20: And for you guys to start a club and against.

524
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 18: You, you know, it's a it's a great thing building

525
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 18: us have our first game home against a divisional opponent,

526
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 18: you know, just like the team like the Bengals. You

527
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 18: know that's a a team to beat in our division.

528
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 18: So you know, it's just it's it's it's a test

529
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 18: to us just to start off early, you know, start

530
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 18: off fast and and be able to win those games

531
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 18: first game of the season. So you know, it means

532
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 18: a lot curious times.

533
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 2: Just since going back to the spring, we got a

534
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 2: straight about Flack.

535
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 16: Or so not now that training camps all over.

536
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 2: And the separing season with him, size him up to

537
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 2: as a quarterback for your teams.

538
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 19: Like, size him up?

539
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 4: Where do you sit?

540
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 18: You know, uh, a vet a veteran quarterback that's no

00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 18: that know the game with football that's still got a

542
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 18: lot left in the tank. You know, no, no know

543
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 18: where to put the ball for receivers to to make plays,

Speaker 18: understand coverages, understanding how receivers like the ball plays, you know,

545
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,840

550
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 5: how do you prepare to uh, you know, to to

551
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,960

Speaker 5: in the off season, like orbly didn't.

553
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,399

00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 2: And throughout college.

558

Speaker 18: You know, you know that's not really that much film

559
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,480

Speaker 12: Do you feel well if you personally but also as

577
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 12: a team, you guys a kind of set yourselves up

00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 18: set ourselves up pretty well throughout really mini camp Ota

582
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 18: just to just to see the type of team we

583
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 18: are and the type of team that we're going to be.

584
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 18: You know, I feel like Costfaski and the coaching staff

585
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 18: did a great job and just uh helping us transition

586
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 18: through that and just know what, know what we are

587
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 18: as a team.

588
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 5: Do you ever know if the perception is wide receiver room,

589
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 5: there's you then a lot of unproveds.

590
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 16: What you're around these guys every game. What gives you

591
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 16: afters this receiver room?

592
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 4: You stuff up?

593
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 18: You do just because I'm around these guys every day,

594
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 18: I know what they're capable of. I practice with these guys,

595
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 18: so I see what they put do do out there

596
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 18: on the field each and every day. So you know, uh,

597
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 18: a lot of outsiders may not know, but the people

598
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,199
Speaker 18: inside know who we got. And that's why we got

599
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 18: who we got.

600
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 16: Coming off the year that you are fullbour thousand yards?

601
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 16: Why do you how do you even surpass that?

602
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 6: Do you?

603
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 18: You know, just just by continuously doing what I've been doing,

604
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 18: you know, consistently getting open, consistently of making the job

605
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 18: easy for the quarterbacks, make the players that that's that's

606
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 18: need to be made simple as that for real?

607
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 5: Could that He'll make it more difficult for you this year,

608
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 5: cause you're the guys that opponents first circling to.

609
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 16: Really pay attention to.

610
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 18: Yeah, you know it it it might be a little

611
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 18: bit dis more this year now that you got a

612
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 18: little bit more eygh attention on me. But at the

613
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:44,959
Speaker 18: end of the day, you know, it's only so much

614
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 18: you could do. And you know, we got uh a

615
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 18: great group of guys in the back ends, so that

616
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 18: that it's gonna be hard to just focus on me

617
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 18: when you got Cedric Isaiah Jamarti Thrash on the other side.

618
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 19: So you know, good luck, m Gary.

00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 22: Not that you're not lorda being never done your off

620
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 22: the field, but and you're gonna against the team like

621
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 22: the Bengals who on the opposite sideline have two guys

622
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 22: at the receive your position at the challenge is Jamar

623
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 22: Chase and T Higgins.

624
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 16: Is it serves a little less.

625
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 17: Motivation for you to know, like you know, I'm gonna

626
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 17: I wanna bowl out at the same level.

Speaker 14: you can ask a receiver.

711
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,240

Speaker 4: Couple of years?

765
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 24: Yeah, they they move him around a lot, uh honestly,

766
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 24: but yeah, he has been a slot, but he's gonna

767
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 24: be slot outside, so they they do a good job

768
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 24: moving around and put him in different positions and uh yeah,

769
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 24: so we're gonna have to see where he's at at

770
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:21,080

Speaker 24: but so kind of answer your question, I would say,

786
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 24: I mean I watch the film and everything and see

787
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 24: what's going on. But e every year is the new year.

788
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 24: They may do some of the similar things that's years past,

789
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 24: so you may take some stuff, but yeah, I think

790
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:12,399
Speaker 24: I think it's.

791
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 19: Pretty much similar in the.

792
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 5: Same us behind you you corner, How do you feel

793
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:23,280
Speaker 5: good death then and assess the corner going.

794
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:23,800
Speaker 16: In the season.

795
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 19: Yeah, I think we go be good.

796
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 24: We got a good corner group and know our goal

797
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:28,759

814
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 24: you know, but that's not gonna determine the entire game.

815

Speaker 24: a factor in the game. So I'm looking forward to

822
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,160

830
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,200

Speaker 4: Yeah.

838
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 24: Since I mean since Higgins came into the league, he

839
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,720
Speaker 24: had always been a great player, uh for those guys,

840
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 24: you know, uh, reliable for those guys, always making plays,

841
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 24: making the jump ball catches, crazy catches. So he's a

842
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 24: he's a great player just as well as uh Chase.

843
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 4: How do you guys as a defense.

844
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,920

845
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,560

904
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,400

911
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:41,279

00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 16: to avoid.

915
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 9: Getting off a little bit.

916
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 24: Yeah, I mean I think the team's been we started

917
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,640

918

Speaker 24: coming out there, Uh looking forward to get that first

919
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 24: one of the season. So I think I think we're

920
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 24: gonna start fast. That's the goal and that's the plan,

921
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 24: and uh just got full effort.

922
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 16: Going back to the cheersions and Carson, you open up

923
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 16: at home, it's a divisional opponent. The moment could feel

924
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 16: really big. So what would be your advice to them

925
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 16: to get in and settle down?

926
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 24: And what was that like for you if you remember, Yeah,

927
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 24: just pretty much tell 'em that, you know, it's football.

928
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 24: You know, it's the same thing we do out here

929
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 24: at practice. You know, just a a couple more fans

930
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 24: and you know, a little bit louder. But uh, I

931
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 24: in my first game, I was nervous my first game.

932
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 24: I remember going against Pittsburgh, uh home game. But I

933
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 24: was excited though, you know, I was excited looking forward

934
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 24: to playing. Was going against uh Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown.

935
