Speaker 1: Ones He are your hosts, Boe Bishop and Nathan Seberra.

5
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 3: Welcome into Cleveland Brown's Daily's Best of Week brought to

6
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 3: you by Valley Better Sports Betting partner of your Cleveland

7
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 3: Browns Now Live in Ohio. One thing that is true

8
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 3: every single year in the National Football League is roster turnover,

9
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 3: roster churn. You're gonna have to make a lot of

10
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 3: changes with the salary cap, with guys going and signing

11
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 3: big deals elsewhere, with guys in the last year of

12
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 3: their contracts, you know, maybe not being able to be

13
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 3: afforded anymore. As your team has gained prominence, has gained wins,

14
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 3: and has a better roster than it has in the past.

15
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 3: And so the off season is a time of opportunity

16
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 3: and it's also a time for organizations like the Cleveland

17
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,279
Speaker 3: Browns to restock their rosters. Now, I thought the Browns

18
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 3: did a tremendous job this offseason of retaining a lot

19
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 3: of the key veterans. Think about guys like a Zadarius Smith,

20
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 3: getting him wanting him to come back, Guys like Rodney

21
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 3: McLeod at the safety position, having him come back to

22
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 3: the Cleveland Browns. So you did a good job in

23
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 3: that regard of bringing some guys back. About Mohurst, Shelby

24
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 3: Harris on that defensive line all wanted to come back

25
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 3: and get another shot here with the Cleveland Browns. But

26
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 3: you had to make some tough decisions, and you had

27
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 3: to make some acquisitions, And obviously you hope that some

28
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 3: of these acquisitions are upgrades. You hope that some of

29
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 3: these acquisitions are guys that are going to help you,

30
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 3: and then others are good veteran, solid depth pieces that

31
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 3: have a particular skill that make them very appealing to

32
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 3: the Cleveland Browns. And you always know there's gonna be

33
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 3: turnover because of the draft, but it's the veteran free

34
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 3: agencies where you're able to kind of plug holes fine

35
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 3: guys who have specific skill sets that perhaps fit your

36
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 3: organization better than they would anywhere else. And so the

37
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 3: Browns and general manager Andrew Berry, head coach Kevin Sefanski,

38
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 3: they had a plan to attack this offseason. They wanted

39
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 3: to get better at the linebacker position. We obviously had

40
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 3: had so many injuries there in the past. We all

41
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 3: love a walk, we all love Sioni Taki Taki, but

42
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 3: there have been a lot of injuries in that room.

43
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 3: And so they went out and they got Jordan Hicks.

44
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 3: And Jordan Hicks is a guy who's been a captain

45
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 3: in multiple organizations in this league. He's one of the

46
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 3: best cover linebackers in this league, and he also played

47
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 3: for our defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz when they won a

48
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 3: Super Bowl in Philly in twenty seventeen. Jordan Hicks folks

49
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 3: five straight one hundred plus tackle seasons. As I said,

50
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 3: he is excellent in coverage. He has forced a fumble

51
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 3: in three straight years. He's got twenty passes defense in

52
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: the last three seasons, two interceptions, thirteen interceptions in his career,

53
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 3: and so this is a guy that understands how to

54
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 3: play that position, how to play that position in this

55
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 3: defense as well. And that is critical obviously for the

56
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 3: Cleveland Browns because that allowed Jordan Hicks to come here

57
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 3: and just get right up to speed.

58
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 4: He has been so.

59
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 3: Productive in the National Football League and now the Browns

60
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 3: get him eight hundred and seventy four career tackles, forty

61
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 3: seven tackles for a loss, He's got a fumble return

62
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 3: for a touchdown, eleven fumble returns, six forced fumbles, he's

63
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 3: got the thirteen picks. He does have a pick six

64
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 3: he had back in twenty fifteen. And as I said,

65
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 3: forty nine passes defense for his career. And he's done

66
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 3: this all in one hundred and twenty two games. Been

67
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 3: a starter his whole career. The only time last time

68
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 3: he didn't start a game that he played in was

69
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 3: twenty fifteen. He started one hundred and nineteen games in

70
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 3: his NFL career. So you get Jordan Hicks. That's a big,

71
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 3: big signing, and so we're gonna hear from him in

72
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 3: this show because we're going to take a look at

73
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 3: all of the acquisitions here Jordan Hicks, We're going to

74
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 3: talk to Jamis Winston, and you're gonna hear from Nahim

75
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 3: heinz Achema, Danagy, Giovanni Ricci, Quentin Jefferson, Devin Bush, Deonta Foreman,

76
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 3: and Jerry Judy as well. That's another way that you

77
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 3: can get guys, not just the free agency, but also

78
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 3: the trade. So this is gonna be a look at

79
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 3: a lot of the new players coming in already highlighted

80
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 3: Jordan Hicks.

81
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 4: Well, let's talk about Jameis Winston.

82
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 2: Now.

83
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 3: Jameis Winston, former number one overall pick in the NFL

84
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 3: draft back in twenty fifteen. He's thirty four and forty

85
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 3: six as a starter back in twenty nineteen, led the

86
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 3: NFL with five thoy one hundred and nine yards passing.

87
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 3: For his career, he's throwing for over twenty two thousand yards,

88
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 3: one hundred and forty one touchdowns, ninety nine picks, career

89
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 3: quarterback rating of eighty seven, and in his time in

90
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 3: New Orleans kind of refined his game a little bit

91
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 3: and you saw him start to take care of the

92
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 3: football a little bit better. Touchdown interception ratio goes to

93
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 3: two to one, and that's what the Browns love. The

94
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 3: talent is undeniable, Jamis. They think he fits this offense

95
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 3: incredibly well. And not only that, the guy is an

96
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,239
Speaker 3: unbelo believable electric personality. And you're gonna get a taste

97
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 3: of that when we start the show off. After I

98
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 3: turn it over to all these interviews on this best

99
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 3: of you're gonna start with Jamis Winston from his CBD

100
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 3: debut back on March the twentieth. Guy is comple totally

101
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 3: entertaining and a tremendous football player. Then in our number one,

102
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 3: we're gonna continue, We're gonna talk with running back Nahim

103
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 3: Hinz and Nahiem Heins is a guy coming back from

104
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 3: injury who has a chance, I think, with some of

105
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 3: the rule changes this year, to be a very special

106
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 3: player for the Cleveland Browns. For his career, he's got

107
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 3: twelve hundred and two yards rushing. He's got ten rushing touchdowns.

108
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 3: He's also good at catching the ball in the backfield

109
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 3: two hundred and forty catches, seventeen hundred and seventy eight

110
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 3: yards receiving, and eight touchdowns out of the backfield. So

111
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 3: is the guy who's been productive. But where I see

112
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 3: his role other than perhaps is a third down back.

113
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 3: In the return game, Nahem Heins is an elite returner.

114
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 3: You look at twenty twenty two, he had two kick

115
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 3: return touchdowns that season. The last time he played miss

116
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three with an injury. He has two career

117
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 3: punt return touchdowns as well. And who will forget in

118
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 3: Heimhinz the emotional return the first game after the Damar

119
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 3: Hamlin scare. He took that opening kickoff to the house

120
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 3: for then the Buffalo Bills. So this is a guy

121
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 3: who has an opportunity, I think to be a very

122
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 3: productive returner. He already's shown the ability to take it

123
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 3: to the house there and then the normal rules.

124
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 4: With these new rules, he's.

125
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 3: Gonna have an even bigger opportunity I think to do

126
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 3: that going forward for the Cleveland brown So we're gonna

127
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 3: hear from him at one point thirty and then we're

128
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 3: gonna wrap up our number one with a pair of newcomers.

129
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 3: Hakeem Identegy, the offensive lineman who joins the Cleveland Browns.

130
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 3: Former six round pick of the Bengals back in twenty twenty,

131
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 3: He's got peered in forty three games fifteen starts. All

132
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 3: of those starts came with the Bengals, spent some time

133
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 3: in Minnesota last year. He joins the Browns. Here his story,

134
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 3: as well as Giovanni Ricci, who is competing to be

135
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 3: the team's third tight end this year. Ricci, former undrafted

136
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 3: free agent out of Western Michigan, spent some time with

137
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 3: the Carolina Panthers the last three seasons. Good special teams

138
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 3: player as well, nine catches for one hundred and two

139
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 3: yards in his career. More of a blocker and a

140
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 3: guy that the Browns hope can give them some depth

141
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 3: there in that tight end room behind David Joku and

142
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 3: Jordan Aiken. So that's our number one, our number two.

143
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 3: I've already talked to you about Jordan Hicks, and boy,

144
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 3: we are excited to have him. He is a captivating

145
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 3: guy and you really enjoy hearing from him, his perspective

146
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 3: on things, what he's been through, had almost what they

147
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 3: thought was a career ending injury last year, and now

148
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 3: he is back and better than ever. He is in

149
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 3: tremendous condition. I'll tell you that he wasn't the only

150
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 3: linebacker that the Browns brought in this offseason. They also

151
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 3: brought in Devin Bush, junior Devin Bush, former first rounder

152
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 3: of the Steelers back in two thoy and nineteen. And remember,

153
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 3: this is a guy who tore his ACL in twenty twenty,

154
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 3: actually in a game against the Cleveland Browns. But he

155
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 3: is thrilled to be here. Spent last year with the

156
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 3: Seattle Seahawks. He's a guy who had one hundred and

157
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 3: nine ten tackles back as a rookie. The injury, though,

158
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 3: set him back the next two years in Pittsburgh seventy tackles,

159
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 3: eighty one tackles. Last year limited action, thirty seven tackles

160
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 3: in Seattle, but also played some special teams. He is

161
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 3: not a big linebacker, but he is a very fast linebacker.

162
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 3: Got a lot of speed than in Jim Schwartz's defense.

163
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 3: That's what you want your linebackers to be able to

164
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 3: do to fly to the football. Devin Bush can do that.

165
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 3: We talked to him about his home coming back to

166
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 3: the Midwest. Guy who played his collegiate football in the

167
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 3: Midwest started his professional career here in the Midwest as well.

168
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 3: And then we go to one of the more underwright

169
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:37,119
Speaker 3: rated signings. I think of this offseason because Quentin Jefferson

170
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 3: has a particular skill. Former fifth round of the Seattle

171
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 3: Seahawks back in twenty sixteen, his skill is getting to

172
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 3: the quarterback. The last two seasons eleven and a half sacks,

173
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 3: the last three seasons sixteen total sacks, working as part

174
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 3: of a rotation with the Vegas Raiders, working as part

175
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 3: of a rotation in Seattle, and then last year he

176
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 3: was a full time starter with the New York Jets,

177
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 3: who had one of the best defenses in the NFL,

178
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 3: had a career high six sacks. So he is a

179
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: guy who absolutely can get after the quarterback. A veteran

180
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 3: chose it to come here, loves this defense, loves what

181
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 3: he can do in it. And then we'll go back

182
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 3: to the offensive side of the balls. We wrap things

183
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 3: up here on this Best of Show with Deontay Foreman,

184
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 3: the new addition to the Browns backfield. And I tell

185
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 3: you what I think right now, if Nick Chubb is

186
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 3: not back at the start of the season, Deante Foreman

187
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 3: has a chance to be very productive. Former third round

188
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 3: pick out of Texas by the Houston Texans, started his

189
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 3: career with Deshaun Watson down there in Houston. He spent

190
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 3: time in Tennessee, Carolina back in twenty twenty two, ran

191
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 3: for nine hundred and fourteen yards and five touchdowns average

192
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 3: four and a half yards of carry for his career

193
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 3: three hundred and twenty six yards, fourteen touchdowns, four point

194
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 3: two yards per carry. He is a big, bruising runner,

195
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 3: a productive runner, and in his career eleven games with

196
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 3: nineteen or more carries, seven of them He's rushed for

197
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 3: more than one hundred yards, nine of them almost ninety yards,

198
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 3: so he has been great. And then the final edition,

199
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 3: probably the biggest one of the offseason, we'll wrap up

200
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 3: this show hearing from Jerry Judy, the former fifteenth overall

201
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 3: pick in the twenty twenty NFL Draft. He gets traded

202
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 3: for by the Browns. They've been after him for years,

203
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 3: signs a contract extension this offseason, and now he is

204
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 3: ready to go career high nine hundred and seventy two

205
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 3: yards six touchdowns in twenty twenty two. Guy three thousand,

206
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 3: fifty three yards, eleven touchdowns, fourteen and a half yards

207
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 3: a catch for his career with questionable quarterback play, and

208
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 3: the hope is to get the talent we all saw

209
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 3: there at Alabama get it here with the Cleveland Browns.

210

Speaker 6: a part of this organization.

236
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 7: Well, it all started when I became when I knew

237
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 7: I was become a free agent, and I just got

238
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 7: so sick and tired of great weather and beaches.

239
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 4: And music, and I said, what is the play challenge?

240
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 2: Yeah? What is it?

241
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 7: What is the plays that I know that I can

242
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 7: give my kids some snow for Christmas?

243
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 2: Like like or in March?

244
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 7: Well no, but honestly, like no, it's it's truly a

245
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 7: blessing to be a part of the Dog Pound and

246
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 7: to be on this radio show with y'all.

247
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 8: But I've always admired.

248
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 7: Just the history of Cleveland and what it encompasses, and

249
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 7: to be able to be a part of that now

250
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 7: is amazing.

251
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 4: What was kind of the sales pitch to you?

252
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 3: Because in free agency it's great a mutual recruitment, right,

253
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 3: What was kind of the sales pitch from the Browns

254
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 3: to you about why this would be a great place

255
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 3: for you?

256
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 7: Well, when you when you see how this team rallied

257
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 7: together after significant injuries on both sides of the ball,

258
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 7: and uh and and they were able to do it

259
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 7: with four quarterbacks, you know, so one you know that

260
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 7: the roster is one of the best rosters in the NFL.

261
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 7: When you when you have a free agent signing that

262
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 7: shocks the world, like Zadarius Smith is joining Miles Garrett.

263
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 7: You know last year, I think that shocked everybody. You know,

264
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 7: when you have a fierce defense that know how to

265
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 7: take the ball away uh and know how to stop

266
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 7: the run, that's enticing for for any quarterback.

267
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 2: UH.

268
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 7: But but also when you when you have the opportunity

269
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 7: to impact and influence uh a young quarterback who you

270
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 7: have admired uh for for from.

271
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 8: Afar and have competed it against.

272
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 9: Uh.

273
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 7: It really was a no brainer for me opposed to

274
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 7: you know, obviously looking for opportunities to start, but but

275
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 7: knowing uh the head coach here, Kevin Stefanski, is able

276
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,599
Speaker 7: to to win with with you know, with with with

277
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 7: with his with his strategies, uh and with his uh

278
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 7: amazing ability to lead a team despite what they may

279
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 7: grow through.

280
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 10: Uh.

281
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 2: You have to admire that.

282
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's his sting. They So when I was we

283
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 6: were talking out there when you were down, like that's

284
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 6: a small world, that Southern quarterback world. And so you

285
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 6: coming out about Alabama going to Florida State, a Deshaun

286
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 6: coming out of Georgia going to Clemson and you guys

287
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 6: didn't intersect in college, right, he came just slightly. You're

288
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 6: done in fourteen and then he's in in fifteen. Yeah,

289
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 6: I think at Clemson. But it was a I remember

290
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 6: even talking about in the greater college football were late

291
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 6: as the passing of the guard from best quarterback college

292
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 6: football Jamis to Deshaun. He was next, he had next.

293
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 8: Well it started with Cam Newton.

294
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 6: Well yeah, wait back yah, yeah yeah, Cam, even before

295
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 6: you for sure, But like, was there a how aware

296
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 6: have you been of his career throughout yours? And I'm

297
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 6: sure he emulated you wanting you know, having you been

298
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 6: a couple of years older.

299
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 8: Well, I think his intangibles was was all.

300
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 7: It always stood out because his ability to make plays

301
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 7: and being from the state of Alabama, him winning the

302
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 7: national championship with Cleveland in Tampa, you know, obviously all

303
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 7: the sitement that was going on when college football playoff

304
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 7: had came to Tampa. I was able to have a

305
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 7: few appearances and talk about that. Uh, and he didn't

306
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 7: want He didn't even win the Heisman that year, which

307
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 7: I thought that he he was definitely could have could have,

308
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 7: so him seeing him beat Alabama and the National Championship

309
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 7: stage was prolific, you know, because you know we beat Auburn,

310
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 7: but just being in that Southern rim, we know for

311
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 7: so long that Alabama was king. So I think when

312
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 7: he did that, he definitely got his street cred from

313
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 7: everybody around. Uh So I'm just I'm just proud of him,

314
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 7: and I'm happy to get to work with him.

315
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 3: And I know that you've talked to him since since

316
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 3: you've signed, And I remember when it was announced that

317
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 3: you had signed to give a quote to Joe Sina

318
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 3: about how you were going to help him be the

319
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 3: best version of himself. How's kind of those conversations. God,

320
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 3: I'm sure he's got to be thrilled as well, and

321
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 3: we got to know a great guy.

322
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

323
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 7: Well, obviously, right now the most important thing is it

324
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 7: is him getting back and recovery. So I know he's

325
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 7: passionately pursuing.

326
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 2: That right now.

327
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 7: But we will be connecting over the course of the

328
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 7: next two weeks. But but I think in terms of

329
00:15:55,640 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 7: just growth and learning from your experiences, I have played

330
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 7: every role that you can play as an NFL quarterback

331
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 7: in this league up to in just nine years in

332
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 7: the league. So just me being being able to bring

333
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 7: that and being able to bring a certain energy around

334
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 7: him and be willing to serve him and give him

335
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 7: something that he probably hasn't gotten. I know, I'm cool

336
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 7: with Jacoby Brissett and I know today they got a

337
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 7: chance to work doing and that was a tough season,

338
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 7: but I'm just excited to get in the room with

339
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 7: him see how he worked like. It's different when you

340
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 7: see someone hand in hand, you can hear, you know

341
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 7: about what people do. Obviously you can see on TV.

342
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 7: But when you get a chance to connect with somebody

343
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 7: and being in with them, you can do amazing things together.

344
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, certain, go ahead, go ahead.

345
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 4: That's just to say kind of along that line.

346
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 3: You know, we're moving from what had been kind of

347
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 3: an under center a lot of you know, marriage of

348
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 3: the running pass, the play action, the keeper game, all

349
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 3: of that. So maybe more of a shotgun style offense

350
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 3: now with Ken Dorsey.

351
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 2: That's home.

352
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 4: I know that you've been very comfortable with your entire.

353
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 3: Career, how how important or how influentially was that factor

354
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 3: as well, saying this is not only a chance to

355
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 3: work with you know, de Shaun, not only a chance

356
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 3: to be with a great roster that can win, knowing

357
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 3: that if you get an opportunity to play, you're gonna

358
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 3: be able to win, but also having an offense that

359
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 3: probably is gonna suit what you like to do pretty well.

360
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, you know one thing I like to do

361
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 7: is hand the ball off to Nick Chubb and watching

362
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 7: that is that's about one hundred and fifty a game.

363
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 7: And I think you build an offense based off that.

364
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 7: You know, when you when you look at how the

365
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 7: Cleveland Browns haven't send it to being one of the

366
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 7: top teams NFL, it is because.

367
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 8: Of their fronts, right, a great offensive line.

368
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 7: Like you think about the injuries that we had on

369
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 7: offensive line last year and we still were able to

370
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 7: overcome that and still have you know, a dominant rusher

371
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 7: who was new to the team, you know, despite Nick

372
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 7: being her and I know he's recovering his tail off

373
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 7: the injuries that the shun had. You know, and you've

374
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,479
Speaker 7: been you're seeing this offense evolved around p J Walker,

375
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 7: around what was the Dorian DTR dr DTR and seeing

376
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 7: the just the the excitement that Joe Flacco was able

377
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 7: to come him winning comeback Player of the Year with

378
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 7: seven games you know, you know, and and I think

379
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 7: that just shows what One, the men and women that

380
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 7: are in this building are doing something right.

381
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 2: Uh.

382
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 7: And two when you think about offense, like everybody wants

383
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 7: to pass in this league, but every defensive coordinator office

384
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 7: coordinator knows it stopped. It starts with the run and

385
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 7: it finished with stopping the run. So the ability that

386
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 7: this team has to run the football is only going

387
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 7: to open up so many more opportunities with the different

388
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 7: things you can do out of the gun, the different

389
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 7: play accents that you can create, the different gimmicks and

390
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 7: trick players that you can get off of this new

391
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 7: wave of shotgun offense.

392
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 6: You know, it's funny, you're as it's all of these

393
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 6: things are so cool, But there are so many connections.

394
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 6: As as we were talking about you and DeShawn and

395
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 6: you think about you know, Jerry Judy, you think about

396
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 6: Amari I mean and same age Alabama. Another one more

397
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 6: Nick Chubb, I mean, like we have so many big

398
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 6: State U Southern or the Chief went to you. I mean,

399
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 6: we have so many of those guys, uh that that

400
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 6: are on this team. And the one thing I know

401
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 6: that AB likes about it is is if you if

402
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 6: you played at one of those places and you're from

403
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 6: that part of the country, you understand what football is

404
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 6: all about at the very highest level. And I think

405
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 6: you're gonna find that when you get here in the fall,

406
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 6: that these people view it the same way that there

407
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 6: is a the way that there is a big game

408
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 6: on campus in Tallahassee and the way that that feels

409
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 6: on a Saturday morning, that's the same thing you're gonna

410
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 6: find here on a Sunday. And I think the guys

411
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 6: have you have you picked up on the connection between

412
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,239
Speaker 6: all of that stuff in terms of this organization and

413
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 6: the big state U Southern connection.

414
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely. I just know one thing about let's just

415
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 7: talk about the fan base. When we came here two

416
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 7: years ago, a year ago, uh and played in you

417
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 7: know one Mkoda's the game and then thank.

418
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 3: You for not making that you say, I'm not going

419
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 3: there because that that was for here.

420
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 4: Even that was insane, you know, like that was not normal.

421
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 7: But there were people in the stands without your you know,

422
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 7: and like and obviously that's that's odd and crazy. When

423
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 7: you think about that, it is obviously you got to

424
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 7: think about your health. But but just think about the commitment.

425
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 7: And honestly, you know, and and I know I'm not

426
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 7: with New Orleans, and but that's something that I really

427
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 7: admired about that that city in New Orleans is just

428
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 7: the fans were always involved.

429
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 2: And when you think about.

430
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 7: The Cleveland Browns, you think about the dog Pound, you know,

431
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 7: So these fans they are where make things go like that.

432
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 7: They're the reason that we all have a job because

433
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 7: these people their livelihood is watching the Browns play football. So,

434
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 7: you know, I'm very grateful to be a part of

435
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 7: a of an organization in the society that encompasses, you know,

436
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 7: that that gride that hard knows and really increase.

437
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 8: They know, they know we're trying to make everybody better.

438
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 8: We all feed off each other.

439
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 4: There's no doubt you said it many times when you

440
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 4: guys who come from the big schools like you did.

441
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 3: This is as close as you'll get to that collegiate

442
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 3: atmosphere in terms of the way the Browns fans are.

443
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 3: And I joked with Joe Flacco probably after maybe a

444
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 3: second game ago, you're gonna end up being more popular

445
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 3: here than you were ever in Baltimore. And he's like, yeah, okay,

446
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 3: And after if we clinched against the Jets is like,

447
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 3: you're right, it's my family's like, this is crazy.

448
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 4: It's just a great place to play football.

449
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 3: That's what they That's what they do here, you know,

450
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 3: And I know that you appreciate that.

451
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 7: It's the love for football, you know, just go back

452
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 7: to the like down the South, like you know, we

453
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 7: have football, you know, like we don't have hoops, you know,

454
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 7: because like obviously the impact de Lebron James is made

455
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 7: in this community is amazing. But Ohio even has good

456
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 7: basketball like Alabama, we don't have you know, we don't

457
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 7: have the best basketball, but we have a lot of

458
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 7: superstar players.

459
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 2: That come out.

460
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 7: But the love of football is something that I feel

461
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 7: like I attract to. And I know that this city

462
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 7: really loves football. And that's why I know that I'm

463
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 7: really gonna love this city.

464
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 4: It's gonna be fun, man. We're excited.

465
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 3: So one of the things I always ask the people

466
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 3: when they come in is what something you just want

467
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 3: Browns fans to know about you? It doesn't have you

468
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 3: about your football, doesn't have about your work, just anything

469
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 3: in general that when they see Jameis Winson out there,

470
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 3: you love.

471
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 4: This is what I want you to.

472
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 7: Think, yeah, when you see me on the street, just

473
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 7: know that I'm a man of faith and I'm looking

474
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 7: to encourage any inspire anybody that I'm around. You know,

475
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 7: one of my favorite athletes of all time is Muhammad

476
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 7: Ali and him being able to just be approachable to

477
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 7: anybody that came around. I always wanted to make it

478
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 7: a great experience. Now when when I'm eating dinner with

479
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 7: my family, I'll always respect my family first. But I

480
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 7: got so much respect because I know it's a privilege

481
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 7: to have this this platform and get a chance to

482
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 7: serve the community the way that I do with a

483
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 7: sport that I love. So just knowing I'm a man

484
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,239
Speaker 7: of faith, I'm a man of God, of Christ, and

485

Speaker 7: I know that I'm here to inspire and increase the

513
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 6: I guess let's start with this process and how you

514
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 6: ended up a Cleveland Brown, We're thrilled to have you obvious.

515
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 11: Uh, it was really easy. I mean my first visit,

516
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 11: I got released by Buffalo two weeks ago. As soon

517
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 11: as I got released, Cleveland and some other teams reached

518
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,679
Speaker 11: out Cleveland a text Myiden said, we want to have

519
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 11: them first. Got me here last Monday. Guy here. Obviously,

520
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 11: I know Bubba, I know Ken Dorsey yep uh. And

521
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 11: then I actually saw Duce Daley. When I saw those guys,

522
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 11: I was like, oh, because dudes actually ran my pro

523
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 11: day when he was in Philly and I always liked him.

524
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 11: My dad even said I hope he coached you one day.

525
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 11: So I saw Duce and I'm like, oh, yeah, I

526
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 11: like it here. Then I actually have been watching film

527
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,199
Speaker 11: with you guys when you had Joe and Deshaun and

528
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 11: PJ and all the quarterbacks. So I've been watching film

529
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 11: and both sides kind of agreed that I think it

530
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 11: would be a perfect fit, and they thought that and

531
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 11: we thought that. So it was really easy. I didn't

532
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 11: I had some more visits set up, but after here,

533
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 11: I was just like, oh, I like it.

534
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 2: You got to go where.

535
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 11: You like, where you feel welcome, and where you feel

536
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 11: like it's home.

537
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 2: So that's awesome.

538
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 3: Well, you said like you're dressed for success today, looking

539
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,199
Speaker 3: very sharp. You said you got to make a good

540
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 3: first impression. Apparently the Browns did that, and they done

541
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 3: it visit they've done it, and you did it as well.

542
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 11: You've already got when I get on the field, I

543
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 11: got another first impression to make after I rehab, get

544
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 11: my stuff back.

545
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 4: And how are you doing physically?

546
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 11: It's going well. I've been running for about four weeks now.

547
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 4: How hard was it to miss this season like that?

548
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 10: Oh, it was.

549
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 11: Hard, but I think, you know, the biggest thing of

550
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 11: it, it was a mental reset. It was I want to

551
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 11: play over ten years. It's my seventh year. I had

552
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 11: a break I guess in year six. Yeah, so that's

553
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 11: what I'm looking for. Come back and try to see

554
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 11: if I can get five more years out of it.

555
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 11: But I think playing wise, I mean, it was hard watching,

556
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 11: but I think the rehab with it just sucked. Because

557
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 11: any person who's ANEE surgery just knows the first two

558
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 11: or three months are just they're brutal. You can't hardly sleep.

559
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 11: They have you on certain drugs like the perkosets might

560
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 11: make you feel weird, like it's it was tough, but uh,

561
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 11: I think just watching the team, especially watching my former

562
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 11: team losing the playoffs to a team that I essentially

563
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 11: really came there to help them beat. That's why even

564
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 11: went to Buffalo. I'm like, Okay, maybe I could be

565
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 11: a player to help them get over the top. That

566
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 11: was really hard just going through the year. But uh, honestly, mentally,

567
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 11: I've been up and down. But it's been a lot

568
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 11: better last three four weeks.

569
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, got good to see a smiling I like that. Yeah,

570
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 6: that's it. I can't imagine. I mean, Nick's going through that.

571
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 6: He had the catastrophic injury he had on his knee,

572
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 6: and it's those first months when you're having to physical

573
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 6: it's one thing that like the shock of oh my god,

574
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 6: this happened. Then the rationalization of like, all right, we're

575
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 6: gonna do surgery. But then if you then now the

576
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 6: rehab part, right, I mean, don't need to take.

577
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 2: You down today.

578
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 6: I just it just got it seemed to me. It

579
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,479
Speaker 6: seems grilly. I've never been through it. I can't imagine

580
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 6: going through it.

581
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 11: I think, yeah, it's like we're professional athletes, Like my

582
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 11: whole life I've been able to do whatever I wanted to.

583
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 11: I want to do a backfoob, I can do it

584
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 11: if I want to anything. And then you tear your ACL,

585
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 11: and any person tears the a CL knows your quad

586
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 11: doesn't fire. So I'm like getting ready for surgery and

587
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 11: they're like, oh yeah, squeeze the quad. I'm squeezing it,

588
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 11: turning red, about to pass out, and my quad's not

589
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 11: firing at all. So uh, I think really the first

590
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 11: part of like that whole surgery is really getting your

591
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 11: mind and your my mind and my quad personally back

592
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 11: on track. I wanted to break up with myself in

593
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 11: the first three moments, but we got the quad going

594
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 11: and everything's good.

595
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 12: Now.

596
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 11: I have great people out lead Orthrow, Deshaun's actually out there.

597
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 11: We've been actually building our chemistry for about five months

598
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,239
Speaker 11: and didn't even know it, so that's pretty cool. And uh,

599
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 11: we have great people out there. Doctor Latrosha's great. So

600
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,199
Speaker 11: I think I'm in a good place. I should be

601
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 11: ready to go for the season, and that's what we're

602
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 11: working for.

603
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 3: Then I kind of renew your man. I love playing

604
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 3: this game.

605
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 11: Heck yeah, man, I think especially being an Indy for

606
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 11: five years. I had so many ups and downs, Like

607
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 11: I played with Andrew. Look that's how I know I'm

608
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 11: getting old. And then ever since then, ye know, it

609
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 11: was kind of up down, Like you know, I played

610
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 11: with Carson Wins, I played with like seven different quarterbacks, Carson,

611
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 11: Matt phill up to name so Jacobe Brissett. So you know,

612
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 11: sometimes through that process you're like, dang, like what am

613
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 11: I doing here? Do I love it? And I know

614
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 11: one thing after this ACL and watching everybody else play,

615
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 11: I don't know how much I love it. I would

616
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 11: do anything to go out there and run and return

617
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 11: a pun or catch a pass or so that's I think.

618
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 11: That's really Uh, there's things that happened for a reason,

619
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 11: and I think God slowed me down. But also really

620
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 11: I always knew I love football. But I've been healthy

621
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 11: my whole life. I've missed five games in my entire life.

622
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 11: I didn't miss my first game until my fifth year

623
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 11: in Denver. I'm sure a lot of people saw that

624
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 11: that concussion, and I didn't miss a practicer game before then.

625
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 11: So I've always been healthy. So it was really hard

626
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 11: just to not be healthy.

627
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 6: Ye man, Yeah, you can't imagine it. And then you

628
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 6: come in here and and you look at what this

629
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 6: often did towards the end of last season. But then

630
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 6: also the notion from Kevin Stefanski, like we got to

631
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 6: be better, we got to be more diversified.

632
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 4: They bring in Ken.

633
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 6: You obviously played for him in Buffalo. What elements of

634
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 6: the offense from Ken's pass do you think will fit

635
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 6: nicely with this personnel grouping.

636
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 11: I think Ken Ken's first of all, a great play designer.

637
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 11: I think in the our prio game and the empties

638
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:22,719
Speaker 11: and like drop back pass, I think that's where he's

639
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 11: gonna excel. He loved empties. We've seen Josh Allen have

640
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 11: a lot of success and empties and then rpo QB runs.

641
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 11: We have the quarterback to do kind of the same thing.

642
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 11: DeShawn obviously no solole Lely. He can run great. He's

643
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 11: a He's a phenomenal athlete. So I played against for

644
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 11: four or five years in Houston. So I'm excited to

645
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 11: see him get back to that form because he was

646
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 11: an elite quarterback. Even after they let go a fuller

647
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 11: and de Hop, he still through for four thousand yards.

648
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 11: So we got a we got a guy here, and

649
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 11: I'm excited to be a part of a playoff team

650
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 11: with a great quarterback and the number one defense in

651
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 11: the league. So we can get some punt returns here.

652
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, you mentioned the punt returns.

653
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 3: He got a couple of punt return touchdowns in your career,

654
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 3: a couple of kick return touchdowns. That's something the Brown's

655
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 3: really been looking for since Josh Cribs has left, honestly

656
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 3: trying to find that return guy. You know, Bubba, He

657
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 3: obviously knows you, and obviously that's probably a big reason

658
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 3: why this all kind of came together. What do you

659
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 3: love about the return game and how can you help Well?

660
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 11: First off, I know for sure that I'm sure Bubba

661
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 11: probably talked to Ab and Kevin and he probably still

662
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 11: on the table for me. So first off, I think

663
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 11: Bubba and Kin for talking highly of me here, and

664
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 11: I know a lot of the schemes with Bubba had

665
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 11: success there, So I think we have something going on.

666
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 11: I think we have some success here. Have to do

667
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 11: my part, read the ball, judge it, trust my teammates.

668
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 11: We have great special teams guys here. Shoot, I know

669
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 11: the special team is good. We fought you guys like

670
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 11: four years ago. In twenty nineteen, so I know you

671
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 11: and then the joint practice it al. I know it's

672
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 11: a great scheme. I know we have great players, and

673
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 11: I know I have to just go back there and

674
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 11: do my job, and I think it'll take off.

675
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 3: You are a part of maybe I think one of

676
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 3: the most. If the NFL has scripted that play would

677
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 3: have happened your your kick return, the first play after

678
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 3: the scary incident with Tamar Hamlin. When you kind of

679
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 3: reflect back on that, was that one of just was

680
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 3: that a surreal moment with the emotions that I mean

681
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 3: it was watching it was crazy.

682
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 11: It was honestly one of the best days of my life.

683
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 2: Truthfully.

684
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 11: The first return, I kind of saw it. We played

685
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,479
Speaker 11: them Thursday night, probably three or four weeks ago, when

686
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 11: we ran the same return and one of their backside

687
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 11: players tripped me up, but I saw the outside so

688
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 11: the first player of the game, it kind of looked

689
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 11: the exact same and this time I bounced it and

690
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 11: there was nobody there, so really good. The first one

691
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 11: was crazy what I saw, but the second one we

692
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 11: drew up in the dirt like we kind of sold

693
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 11: it off. The original middle return we ran and we

694
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 11: came back to the left, and I haven't seen many

695
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 11: returns in my life as a returner just get drawn

696
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 11: up and work. So it was just one of those

697
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 11: days where you just in football in sports, so some

698
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 11: days we're just on Like someday Steph Curry just comes

699
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 11: out and miss the shot. I just had a day

700
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 11: like that, and I pray to have more like that.

701
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 11: I had a day like Bubbas too, So hopefully I

702
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 11: have another two return game and I'd love to, you know,

703
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 11: start off the season right. Yeah, start off the season

704
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 11: right and just.

705
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 2: Do it right.

706
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 11: I feel like I should have been the Pro Bowl

707
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 11: or All Pro, but I feel like I always just

708
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 11: have good returns in like week seventeen. So yeah, I

709
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 11: would love to get my knee right and get it

710
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 11: going right away. I'm a respected returner and I know

711
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 11: a lot of the punters, so I just got to

712
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 11: go out there and do my job.

713
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 6: Did you happen to see you mentioned your relationship with Bubba.

714
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 6: Did you happen to see the Probably not, but the

715
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 6: video when we clinched and coaches giving French.

716
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 11: Thet I didn't see it. Please tell me.

717
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 4: So he's it's my favorite.

718
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 6: Stefanski is giving the you know, you know, we did

719
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 6: it in the in the locker room, made the playoffs,

720
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 6: and you don't notice it right away. We did, but

721
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 6: I don't know that fans realize right away Bubba is

722
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 6: standing next to him with a helmet on.

723
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 11: That's Bubba though.

724
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 4: That's exactly what everybody. That's what he said.

725
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 11: Like one thing I do like about here, like even Larry,

726
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 11: our strength coach. There's a lot of former players here

727
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 11: like you like it. Like I was just lifting with Larry.

728
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 11: He was doing abs with me and lifting, so that's

729
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 11: pretty cool. I think the thing about Bubba is he's

730
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 11: very passionate. He's gonna get after. He's gonna coach you hard.

731
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 11: But like one thing he's gonna do is in the

732
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 11: film room, he's gonna show his own plays. Like in Indie,

733
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 11: He's gon show his plays like when they used to

734
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 11: have the wage. Like I've seen Bubba get knocked out,

735
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 11: like he said, he's gotten knocked out and didn't even

736
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 11: know where he was. So as that you can respect it.

737
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 11: But yeah, I know Bubba. Even in India, Bubby used

738
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 11: to run sprints side the practice every day. I think

739
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 11: Bubba still wants to play it I think Bubba probably

740
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 11: could still suit up, but I'm sure he wants to.

741
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 3: He definitely want he said. If he can go in

742
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 3: a straight line, he's fine. But if he has a

743
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 3: change direction, forget about it.

744
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 11: Put him on your team. You don't have to do

745
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 11: that much. Change the direction there.

746
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 4: Just run down there.

747
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 3: So one of our our good friends on the program,

748
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 3: we call him Will Scarlett sent me an article that

749
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 3: I read that early in your career you went and

750
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 3: worked actually out of Bojangles because you wanted to own

751
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 3: some Bojangles franchises. First of all, incredible story. I think

752
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 3: that's so cool that you wanted to go experience it.

753
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 3: So I guess we're in the future now. Has have

754
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 3: you followed through on that?

755
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 11: No, not yet, not yet. I send some money and

756
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 11: just waiting my time. First of all, I think that

757
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 11: takes a lot of time. That probably right from here.

758
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 11: I have some good friends. I know somebody who owns

759
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 11: fifty of them. He's kind of been showing me the way.

760
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 4: Okay, so I think, but it's still in the plans.

761
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 11: Yeah, I would like to. I like to own the

762
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 11: business or some sort of restaurant, maybe it was Bojangles

763
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 11: or something. I would like to give or Chick fil

764
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,719
Speaker 11: A get my foot the door, but uh really got

765
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 11: I'm trying to focus on football, but I'm not forgetting

766
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 11: about life at the football, and that's what I'm trying

767
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 11: to do.

768
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 6: You had a nice weekend that wolf pecked it, Okay.

769

Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm not gonna lie.

770
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 2: That was That's fun.

771
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 11: Right As a in C State fan since I can remember,

772
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 11: I don't think we've ever had a time where we'll

773
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 11: have a time like that. We haven't won AC title

774
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 11: since two since nineteen eighty seven, and we beat Duke

775
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 11: and Carolina in two days, So there's excuses.

776
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 2: I was just talking.

777
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 11: I've been talking a bunch of cold cash and my friend,

778
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 11: I don't want to hear anything. We beat Duke, we

779
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 11: beat Carolina, when AC title like that's that's remarkable. Honestly,

780
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 11: I was super excited to be in C State fan.

781
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's very very cool. And we we you we

791
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,560

792
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 3: come to the team because it's so exciting and and

798
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 3: back of your jersey. Something you want them to have

799
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 3: maybe in the back of their mind.

800
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 11: What is something? Shoot? Honestly, I think off the field.

801
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 11: I'm just a regular person, just like y'all. Like I

Speaker 12: too long and uh it was it was a great

856
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:41,280
Speaker 12: meaning and I loved his energy and I'm really excited

857
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 12: to get to work with him.

858
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 11: What is it?

859
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 6: How aware were you, if at all, of the the

860
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 6: quality of offensive line play that's been played here in

861
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 6: the last decade or so, plus even going all the

862
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 6: way back to Joe Thomas, and then obviously with Why

863
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 6: and Joel being all pros or Pro Bowl players and

864
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 6: Concums and all pros, so we've had a great lineage

865
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 6: of guys on the offensive line. How cognizant were you

866
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,760
Speaker 6: of that at the time of making the decision?

867
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 2: Very cognizant.

868
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 12: This is hard not to be being in the vision

869
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 12: before obviously, and then coach Callahan knowing how great he

870
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 12: is and revered within like online circles. So I mean,

871
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 12: you know, you got Dyil Thomas, you got you know,

872
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 12: Botonio and Conkland and all those guys. So like it's

873
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 12: it's pretty obvious for all of us guys within the community.

874
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 3: So you've obviously played in big, big games, had a

875
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,879
Speaker 3: lot of success with the Cincinnati Bengals all the way

876
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 3: to the AFC Championship Game.

877
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 4: Super Bowl, all of it.

878
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 3: What what does it take for a football team to

879
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 3: get there? And I'm sure you want to get right back,

880
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 3: So did that also factor in your decision with the

881
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 3: Browns that you thought this was a team that could

882
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 3: make that kind.

883
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:45,720
Speaker 2: Of a run. Oh, most definitely.

884
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 12: You know, one, you got to have the guys, and

885
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 12: obviously you look up and down the roster and you

886
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 12: look at you know, what was done last year with

887
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 12: even with the injuries, and and you got to have

888
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 12: you know, a head coach, which I mean obviously you

889
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 12: know you have here, and so you have all those

890
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 12: elements and all those pieces, and it's just about coming

891
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 12: together and and persevering through the ups and down in

892
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 12: the season and seeing last year, seeing how they were

893
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 12: able to do it, and I think that is pretty

894
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 12: evident what could be done here.

895
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's a sense of Look, I mean the whole division.

896
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,839
Speaker 6: We were talking off air, I mean the whole this

897
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 6: whole division. It's one you're very familiar with. Like all

898
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 6: the teams are quality, all of them were ultra aggressive

899
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 6: in the offseason, all of them added. All of the

900
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 6: teams are better than they were two weeks ago. You

901
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:37,879
Speaker 6: you know what that's like, you were in this thing

902
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 6: in Cincinnati, but you look at what's happened here, like

903
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 6: you're signing up for something. You signed up to play

904
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 6: in the AFC.

905
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 12: North Man Yeah, it's Uh, it is. The AFC North

906
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 12: is crazy, but it's fun. It's the it's such a

907
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:54,320
Speaker 12: fun division to play in because any any game, anything

908
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 12: can happen. Uh, there's no favorites. Like you going there,

909
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 12: it's gonna be it's gonna be physical, You're gonna grind

910
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 12: it out. The fans are going to be crazy, the

911
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 12: weather might be crazy, but like you're you're in for

912
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:05,399
Speaker 12: a game.

913
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no doubt.

914
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 3: Does it also help a tackle when you're looking for

915
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 3: a home to say, I'm gonna go on where the

916
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 3: defensive player of the year is, so then I only

917
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 3: have to deal with him in practice?

918
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 4: Now does that help out a little bit?

919
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 5: Uh?

920
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 12: Sure you could say that. I mean obviously, Like again,

921
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,399
Speaker 12: like within O line circles, you know how good, how

922
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 12: great of a player that Miles is and physical specimen

923
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 12: to do all the things that he does is insane,

924
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 12: Like you know, yeah.

925
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 6: Well that's something we saw last year even I mean

926
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 6: both because the there's these battles that you're signing up

927
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,439
Speaker 6: for in that will come in training camp, the good

928
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 6: on good stuff that the the reps that happen in

929
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:43,839
Speaker 6: the in the offense and defensive line because there's such

930
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,720
Speaker 6: pride in both of those rooms. It's an iron sharpens

931
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 6: iron approach. We saw it last year in camp. Yeah, yeah,

932
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 6: that's it's it's elite versus elite every single time out there.

933
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:53,879
Speaker 2: Oh man, for sure.

934
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 12: And just getting to this level like uh, you know,

935
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 12: guys are competitive and no, I'm competitive. Then you want

936
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 12: to go out there and improve like you're at the

937
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 12: highest level, but you want to you know, take your

938
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 12: game as far as you can go. And so those

939
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 12: are things that you look forward to and that you

940
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 12: prepare for and and drive.

941

Speaker 2: You and push you.

942
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 12: So it's a it's a blessing for sure.

943
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,359
Speaker 3: So we we had a little research done for us.

944
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 3: So your mom was a television anchor in Nigeria before

945

952
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 14: I guess so, like I wasn't around.

953
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 2: You have any video?

954
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:34,879

957
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 12: doesn't surprise she can definitely adds up.

958
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 4: That's good.

959
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 2: That's good.

960
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 3: And obviously this is a team, you know, David Djoku,

961
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 3: We've got a lot of guys. Yeah, similar backgrounds to

962
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 3: yours as well. Does that is that something that helps

963
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 3: you in the locker room when you come into a

964

969
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 12: We always try to stick together and rallying around each

970
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,839
Speaker 12: other just because you know, similar upbringing. Is a lot

971

Speaker 12: of similarities and things that we do and we all

972
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 12: take pride in that and we all know like the

973
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:19,239

974
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 12: a lot of parallels for so that's always big to

1044
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,840

Speaker 4: It's really exciting.

1049
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 6: And you're telling us, you're telling us off air your

1050
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,359
Speaker 6: little son's over there. He's fifteen months old, so he's

1051
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 6: cruising and he's part of it. And you're telling us

1052
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 6: off air that your dad came over from Italy at

1053
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 6: ten I think is what you said. And of course

1054
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 6: the Italian culture big up here in Cleveland. Literally all

1055
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 6: of those things are you we're even aware of any

1056
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:56,399
Speaker 6: of that stuff? And how cool is that to kind

1057
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 6: of have that connection. I know that's a part of

1058
00:44:57,719 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 6: your hair, which means a great deal to you.

1059
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 15: Yeah, I actually there's being from Cincinnati, there's not a

1060
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 15: ton I knew about Cleveland. But the one thing I did,

1061
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 15: my mom spent a little time here when she was

1062
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 15: in her twenties.

1063
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 4: I knew of little Italy, so that's what I didn't know.

1064
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 15: But no, like you said, my dad came over when

1065
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 15: he was young and been a big part of you know,

1066
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 15: our family and my heritage, and it's just it's just

1067
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 15: really cool to be able to, you know, be back

1068
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 15: in Ohio. But then also I have that connection here

1069
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,320
Speaker 15: just kind of feels like, you know, where I'm supposed

1070
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 15: to be.

1071
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,280
Speaker 4: So, yeah, where where is your family from? In Italy?

1072
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 15: So it's really small mountaintown Chiwitzanova.

1073
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 8: It's the like thousand people.

1074
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 4: So at least that's how he described to me when

1075
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 4: he's younger.

1076
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 15: Maybe it's grown a little bit, but yeah, they came

1077
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 15: over and I actually went to Canada first and made

1078
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 15: it down to Cincinnati, so and then they've been there

1079
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 15: ever since.

1080
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 6: So who's your who's your team over there? In in

1081
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 6: the in the soccer? You've ague you Northern Italy? What

1082
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 6: do you when you were young?

1083
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 15: My family uh is Juventus? Yeah yeah, but I mean it,

1084
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:11,280
Speaker 15: uh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's very.

1085
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 4: Cool, very good kits, that's for sure. It's a beautiful kit.

1086
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 6: It went a little bit over there too. Yeah, we're

1087
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 6: thrilled to have you here. This this room that you're

1088
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 6: in is one obviously, Chiefs just thrived last year and

1089
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,759
Speaker 6: and this is an offense that that is is one

1090
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 6: that's taking advantage of it before. For the folks out

1091
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:28,719
Speaker 6: there who haven't seen you play in Carolina last couple

1092
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 6: of years, just describe your game a little bit in.

1093
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:32,360
Speaker 14: Terms of what you're going to bring to the organization.

1094
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1095
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 15: So I feel like kind of the name of my

1096
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:39,799
Speaker 15: game is versatility. In college, I was a receiver, moved

1097
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 15: a tight end, came to the pros as a tight end.

1098
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 15: Then I did quite a bit of fullback for Carolina

1099
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 15: and just being you know, I've done a little bit

1100
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,240
Speaker 15: of a hand in the dirt off the ball, wing

1101
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 15: in the backfield, special teams. So I feel like for me,

1102
00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 15: what I kind of strive to do, and you know,

1103
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 15: I prime myself on is you know, whatever's asked me,

1104
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 15: whatever's needed, being able to do, being ready to do,

1105
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 15: and just being able to contribute anyway I can n

1106
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 15: So it's good.

1107
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,399
Speaker 3: A little converted receiver and then now you're blocking defensive ends.

1108
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 3: That's got to be a little bit of a change

1109
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:15,439
Speaker 3: from what you did in.

1110
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 4: College a little bit.

1111
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean it was definitely my first training camp.

1112
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 15: Uh you know that they had Brian Bury, so you know,

1113
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 15: it's it's definitely you know a little bit of a

1114
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 15: little bit of a shot going from there there. But

1115
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 15: you know, it's been I was fortunate to have, you know,

1116
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 15: great coaches, great teammates, you know, showing me the ropes

1117
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 15: and being able to play and learn more about the

1118
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:40,840
Speaker 15: game and just you know, get me to this point.

1119
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 4: So that's awesome. Well, now you're gonna get to maybe

1120
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 4: block Miles.

1121
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:47,320
Speaker 3: In practice, which'll get I'll get you ready for Sundays.

1122
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 4: Sundays won't be harder than that.

1123
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:50,399
Speaker 2: That's the good news. That's the good news.

1124
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 14: There.

1125
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 3: What's something you want Browns fans to know about you

1126
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 3: just whether it has may not have anything to do

1127
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:56,359
Speaker 3: with football at all, but it's something you want them

1128
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 3: to know about when they see, you know, Riachi out

1129
00:47:57,800 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 3: there on the back of your jersey.

1130
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 4: Something that you want them to be thinking about.

1131
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 15: Yeah, you know, just I made a shoke earlier. You know,

1132
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 15: I might the passion for football, I might not be

1133
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 15: able to you know, I know they get very passionate here,

1134
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 15: but no, I definitely bring, you know, a passion for

1135
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:15,839
Speaker 15: the game. I you know, I, like I said, strive

1136
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 15: myself on just coming to work every day doing everything

1137
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:22,359
Speaker 15: that's asking me and you know, working my tail off

1138
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 15: and at the end of the day, you know, coming

1139
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 15: to an organization where you know they're doing well, they're

1140
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 15: waying you know obviously, just however I can contribute to

1141
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 15: that and be a part of something that you know,

1142
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 15: one of those special teams.

1143
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 3: So it's yeah, you had a lot of turnover in Carolina, right,

1144
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 3: there's a lot of change in your time there, and

1145
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:46,279
Speaker 3: now you're coming to a place where you know, the

1146
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 3: coach has been here for four years, coming off being

1147
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 3: the coach of the Year, the offensive staff changed a

1148
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 3: little bit this year, and your room in particular was

1149
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 3: one of the changes has made. But it is a

1150
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:56,399
Speaker 3: nice coming place where there is more maybe a little

1151
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 3: bit more stability and clear direction as to what this

1152
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 3: team is, what the expectations are, and who's going to

1153
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 3: be running it.

1154
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean my time in Carolina, I like to

1155
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:08,799
Speaker 15: I like to look at it is just you know it.

1156
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 15: It taught me a lot about you know, the game life,

1157
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 15: you know, and being able to adapt to the situation

1158
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 15: and learn from it and take the best out of it.

1159
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 15: And there are a ton of great things that came

1160
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:22,840
Speaker 15: out Carolina. Obviously the seasons weren't what anyone necessarily wanted,

1161
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 15: but the opportunity to come here where there is you know,

1162
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,840
Speaker 15: stability and also just like you said, like that direction.

1163
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's exciting.

1164
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 15: It's you know, just looking forward to, you know, going

Speaker 3: you to Cleveland.

1194
00:50:56,239 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 16: Yeah, obviously, free agency comes up, we start hearing some

1195
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 16: rumblings of some interest, and you know, before you know it,

1196
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 16: you're getting a call saying the Browns are interested. And

1197
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 16: opportunity to play under coach Schwartz again obviously is a

1198
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 16: huge part of this entire thing. Knowing the defense, being

1199
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 16: able to walk in. But I know guys that were

1200
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:24,279
Speaker 16: here last year, right, like Ronnie McLeod, Sadarius, and the

1201
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 16: ability to walk into something that is established that I

1202
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 16: have a ton of respect for. You know, I've followed

1203
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:35,919
Speaker 16: Coach Schwartz's defense over the years, and to be able

1204
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 16: to watch what happened last year, right, is obviously extremely impressive.

1205
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:43,880
Speaker 14: So excited to be here, you know, and excited to

1206
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 14: get going.

1207
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,720
Speaker 3: It's certainly excited to have you mentioned coach Schwarts. Obviously

1208
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 3: started your career with the Philadelphia Eagles, going into your

1209
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 3: tenth season, which probably seems crazy. Yeah, what was it

1210
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 3: about coach Schwartz that you like so much? Obviously the

1211
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 3: success you guys had winning that Super Bowl.

1212
00:51:56,120 --> 00:52:00,400
Speaker 16: Yeah, he does a great job of keeping things simple, uh,

1213
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 16: and and preparing you for for Sundays. When I think

1214
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:05,719
Speaker 16: back of some of the most clear minded football that

1215
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 16: I've played, it was under him, and it's and that's

1216
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 16: because of the preparation that he gives you, uh, you know,

1217
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 16: and and the way he teaches his defenses and your

1218
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 16: your ability to excel when you when you know what's coming,

1219
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 16: and so you know, the ability to just slow things down,

1220
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 16: get back into that that frame. But then also you

1221
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 16: know it going into year ten, having the ability to compete, right,

1222
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 16: compete for uh to make the playoffs, compete to win

1223
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 16: a championship, right, That's a huge part of my decision

1224
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:37,760
Speaker 16: making process.

1225
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:39,719
Speaker 14: And you know, I believe in this in this team.

1226
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 4: It's excited to be back in Ohio as well.

1227
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 7: It is.

1228
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:44,840
Speaker 16: Yeah, I haven't been back in a while. Grew up

1229
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 16: in Cincinnati. Mom still lives there. Uh so I didn't know.

1230
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 16: I moved around a lot as a kid, and so

1231
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:54,960
Speaker 16: I didn't really pick up a team growing up. But

1232
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 16: being back is is good a lot of I got

1233
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 16: a lot of texts from locals that, you know, friends

1234
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:02,399
Speaker 16: that I've I've made over the years, and I sure

1235
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:03,919
Speaker 16: haven't seen me play in a long time.

1236
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, well that'll be very cool.

1237
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:07,799
Speaker 3: I certainly will get that opportunity in Cincinnati and in

1238
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:10,799
Speaker 3: Cleveland in the upcoming season. You mentioned knowing some guys,

1239
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,279
Speaker 3: you know, Zadarius and Dalvin are with you there in Minnesota,

1240
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 3: you mentioned Rod and and all of you're familiarity with

1241
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 3: coach Schwartz. Does that help when you choose a new place,

1242
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:20,440
Speaker 3: and especially in your role, when you say, oh, I

1243
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 3: know it Zidarius is going to do up there. I

1244
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:23,799
Speaker 3: know a Dalvin's going to do up there, and you

1245
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 3: get to clean it up right behind him.

1246
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:25,440
Speaker 14: Yeah, it does.

1247
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 16: And the ability to understand what the defense is right

1248
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 16: enhances it even more so. You know, I'm excited to

1249
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:35,279
Speaker 16: get around the guys, you know, establish a role, you know,

1250
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 16: meet everybody, uh, and and just you know, ultimately help

1251
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:39,879
Speaker 16: this team as much as I can.

1252
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:41,319
Speaker 3: Well, I know one of the things you do very

1253
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 3: well is lead. You've been a captain in this league.

1254
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:47,320
Speaker 3: How would you describe your leadership style service?

1255
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 14: You know, I try to be as genuine as possible.

1256
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 16: I came into a situation, uh, with quite a bit

1257
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 16: of veterans in the room. I had to Miko Ryans

1258
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 16: as a as a fellow linebacker. His last year and

1259
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:02,759
Speaker 16: he played a sign unificant role in uh kind of

1260
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:06,319
Speaker 16: my maturation. Throughout the years, I've had to come to

1261
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,359
Speaker 16: terms with a lot of different scenarios, UH and been

1262
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 16: faced with a lot of different scenarios, and I always

1263
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 16: lean back to my rookie year and kind of the

1264
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 16: foundation that I had with the Miko and that's you know,

1265
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 16: handled things with grace. You know, be service driven because

1266
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 16: if you can't teach it, you know, and you're not

1267
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 16: going to know.

1268
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:26,280
Speaker 14: What to do on the field.

1269
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 16: And then at the end of the day, you know,

1270
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 16: just be a good person and help others. So it's

1271
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:35,359
Speaker 16: kind of my friend of mine, you know, and.

1272
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 14: That's that's how that's how I've had successfully.

1273
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 3: I can tell you the person that I know who

1274
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:42,479
Speaker 3: knew you the LONGSIS coach Banda, and he's, yeah, he

1275
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:45,320
Speaker 3: loves you. Couldn't say enough things about you. So obviously

1276
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 3: the leadership clearly is there. And that's what he said,

1277
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,000
Speaker 3: That's who he was day one at Texas and you've

1278
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,239
Speaker 3: carried that through here to the league. Five straight hunter

1279
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:54,440
Speaker 3: tackle seasons. You're one of the best cover linebackers in

1280
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:56,359
Speaker 3: the league. You had five picks your second year back

1281
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:58,719
Speaker 3: in Philadelphia, how would you describe your game to our

1282
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:01,240
Speaker 3: fans and what they're getting in Jordan Hicks.

1283
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 16: Yeah, physical. I enjoy being physical. I enjoy making plays.

1284
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 16: You know, I have fun when I play. Yeah, And

1285
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 16: so I think that you can see that I try to.

1286
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 16: I try to play with high emotion and give it

1287
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 16: all I have, right, I feel you know that I'm

1288
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 16: blessed and lucky to be in this position and to

1289
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:26,799
Speaker 16: play this game that so many people love, and you know,

1290
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:27,320
Speaker 16: I try.

1291
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:27,879
Speaker 14: To pour it all out there.

1292
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:30,879
Speaker 3: I'll end with this one because we appreciate the time.

1293
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,400
Speaker 3: Obviously a busy day when you come here, busy in

1294
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 3: this ree agency period. What's one thing that you would

1295
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 3: want Browns fans when they look out on the field

1296
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:40,759
Speaker 3: they see Hicks on the back of your jersey. Maybe

1297
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:42,400
Speaker 3: not even football really, but somebody you want them to

1298
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 3: have in the back of their mind. That is something

1299
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 3: you would think is important for them to know about you.

1300
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:48,280
Speaker 14: Very interesting.

1301
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 16: Yeah, that Jordan Hicks fights no matter the scenario, no

1302
00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 16: matter how hard it gets, no matter how easy it is.

1303
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 16: There's a standard. There's a level of excellence that I'm

1304
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 16: trying to achieve in all things that I do. And

1305
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:11,919
Speaker 16: it doesn't matter the situation. That's that's what I'm striving for.

1306
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:13,880
Speaker 3: Well, they are going to love that, and we are

Speaker 17: so I'm glad to be back.

1325
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:55,000
Speaker 4: Honestly, when you start your career, you kind of know Michigan,

1326
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 4: Ohio State, you start your career at the Steelers, you know,

1327
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 4: probably Steelers Cleveland Brown's.

1328
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:01,839
Speaker 3: Is it pretty wild that here you are now? Yeah,

1330
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:07,080
Speaker 17: It's funny because the rivalries don't change, you know, it's

1331
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 17: that same feel you know, Michigan, Ohio and in.

1332
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:10,760
Speaker 2: Cleveland and Pittsburg.

1333
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:14,319
Speaker 17: So you know, I love those rivalries. I loved AFC North,

1334
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 17: and I love the style of football. So I'm just

1335
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 17: glad to be back.

1336
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 3: Honestly, did you ever talked to like Joe Hayden, for example, about,

1337
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 3: you know, maybe when you're thinking about coming here back,

1338
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 3: because he was again one of our favorites and obviously

1339
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:26,480
Speaker 3: played some good football with you at the Steelers once.

1340
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 17: Once I knew Joe came back here and signed and

1341
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 17: then retired, I knew, you know, it was that type

1342
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 17: of team, it was that type of atmosphere. You know,

1343
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:36,960
Speaker 17: Joe's one of those those football junkies that he's just

1344
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 17: on key love football regards. So you know, seeing seeing

1345
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:42,120
Speaker 17: you know, how he seeing the place, how he treated

1346
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 17: the place, and how much he went up for Cleveland,

1347
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:45,520
Speaker 17: you know, it just showed me that it.

1348
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:47,240
Speaker 6: Was a good city to be in. Honestly, one of

1349
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 6: the things that we always talk about with I'm sure

1350
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 6: Pittsburgh's exact same way and the way that it is

1351
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:54,040
Speaker 6: here and you were at Michigan. Your dad was a

1352
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:57,840
Speaker 6: study at Florida State, And there's a collegiate feel to

1353
00:57:57,880 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 6: these towns. And I knew that as a compliment in

1354
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:02,439
Speaker 6: terms of like whether you're in Tallahassee or in Arbor

1355
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 6: on a Saturday game day, the town shuts down. Pittsburgh

1356
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 6: feels like that. That's what Cleveland feels like. Is that?

1357
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 6: How how important is that as a player and and

1358
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:14,040
Speaker 6: how much did that weigh in your decision?

1359
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 17: I think I think I can speak for a lot

1360
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 17: of football players, you know that that come from those

1361
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:22,479
Speaker 17: those college towns and know those atmospheres, NOA, they prefer

1362
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 17: that over anything you know La or you know Miami

1363
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:27,960
Speaker 17: and stuff like that where so much going on. You know,

1364
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 17: you're the highlight of the city. You know you're you win,

1365
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 17: everybody's good. On Monday, you lose, you kind of ruin

1366
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 17: the whek for everybody.

1367
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 12: You know that.

1368
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 17: So you know those types of games, those type of ribbories,

1369
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 17: but you know it's a lot of all your shoulders,

1370
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 17: but a win feels so good in those type of atmosphere.

1371
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:43,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, how does it feel coming into a new team?

1372
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 3: You did it obviously last year with Seattle and that

1373
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:49,120
Speaker 3: now coming in here, you know the linebacker room had

1374
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 3: some turnover. That's where there have been some departures from

1375
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:53,440
Speaker 3: that room. There's an opportunity to got one of our favorites,

1376
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 3: coach Tarbor, who is talk about somebody who loves ball.

1377
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 3: That guy is an all football, a ball junkie. Literally, Yeah,

1378
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:00,480
Speaker 3: what's it been like kind of coming in this room

1379
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 3: and do you do you already kind of feel comfortable

1380
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:03,360
Speaker 3: with the locker.

1381
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 13: Room and speaking of JT.

1382
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,160
Speaker 17: He definitely made a transition lot easier because we spoke

1383
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:10,200
Speaker 17: before I got here, and he was just telling me

1384
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 17: how important it was, you know, just come in and

1385
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 17: learn you know this, this, this, you know. It wasn't like, oh,

1386
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:17,440
Speaker 17: come in and learn to playbook. It was like, come

1387
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:21,320
Speaker 17: learn this, this, this, and everything else will fall into place. So,

1388
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:24,200
Speaker 17: you know, I mean, being back man, it's it's I mean,

1389
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:25,760
Speaker 17: it's like a welcome home just being back in the

1390
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 17: AFC North honestly.

1391
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:30,000

Speaker 17: I mean there's a good chance you might.

1417
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:15,959
Speaker 2: Make a play.

1418
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, wherever you're going to go fast.

1419
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 17: Go fast and we'll we'll figure it out later on.

1420
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:25,680
Speaker 6: How How does this what what shorts Schwartz wants to

1421
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 6: do defensively? How much does it fit what you do

1422
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 6: your strengths.

1423
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 17: The movement part, it's a lot of movement, you know,

1424
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 17: just just with the defense, not just blitzing or you know,

1425
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:40,440
Speaker 17: calling out protections or whatever. You know, it's just movements

1426
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 17: with the DB's that transitions to the linebackers, that transitions

1427
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 17: to the D line, and then from the D line

1428
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 17: to the linebackers to the safety.

1429
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:47,800
Speaker 13: So you know, it's a lot of.

1430
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:51,080
Speaker 17: Movement, a lot of a lot of simulations, but we

1431
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 17: are blitzing or we're not. Tons of communication, which helps out,

1432
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:57,840
Speaker 17: you know, and playing defense in the league, because I mean,

1433
01:00:57,880 --> 01:01:01,440
Speaker 17: everybody's good, you know what I'm saying, and throw a

1434
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 17: ball hundred hour five yards away and touchdown.

1435
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:06,480
Speaker 11: You know, that's the real thing, you know.

1436
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:09,880
Speaker 17: So so being able to move and adjust and communicate

1437
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:12,240
Speaker 17: with this defense, knowing we're still gonna be aggressive definitely

1438
01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:14,560
Speaker 17: helps out of playing fast and that I feel like

1439
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 17: that's where I'm best fitted.

1440
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:18,280
Speaker 6: You guys always had in Pittsburgh. They've always had an

1441
01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 6: attitude about defense. We felt like Jim Schwartz brought that

1442
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 6: last year and we saw it. There was a swagger

1443
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:26,480
Speaker 6: to it. There's a chest in us with the corners.

1444
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:28,720
Speaker 6: We saw Miles, you know, in a way that we'd

1445
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:32,960
Speaker 6: never really seen before. You're just new to this operation.

1446
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:35,520
Speaker 6: But do you do you sense the attitude that this

1447
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 6: defense has.

1448
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:38,720
Speaker 17: Yeah, definitely, I think I think it definitely comes from

1449
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:40,280
Speaker 17: him too, because I remember when I came to my

1450
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:42,280
Speaker 17: visit and one of the first things he told me was,

1451
01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:44,480
Speaker 17: you know, I learned, I learned to get out the way.

1452
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:46,920
Speaker 17: And in this league, you know, a lot of dudes

1453
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:48,560
Speaker 17: is trying to calmment a ladder, a lot of dudes

1454
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:50,960
Speaker 17: is trying to be a coordinator or whatever they whatever

1455
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 17: they heart desire. But you know, for a guy to

1456
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:54,280
Speaker 17: come in and say, you know, I'm gonna get out

1457
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:56,040
Speaker 17: the way, and I just go to tell you how

1458
01:01:56,080 --> 01:01:58,360
Speaker 17: much he really treatses as professionals, how much he really

1459
01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 17: wants to work with us, you know, rather than just

1460
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:01,680
Speaker 17: being some chess pieces.

1461
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, what positions have you been working out in the

1462
01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:05,600
Speaker 4: line backer room? All of them?

1463
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:06,280
Speaker 2: All of them?

1464
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:10,760
Speaker 17: Honestly, all of them, Sam will I got some little

1465
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 17: reps of Mike here and there, but I mean, I

1466
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:14,880
Speaker 17: just I just like to be out there, honestly, I

1467
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 17: don't really matter where.

1468
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:18,760
Speaker 4: Absolutely, and was kind of the camaraderie with some of

1469
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:19,920
Speaker 4: those guys in that room for it.

1470
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:22,120
Speaker 17: I think it's a perfect blend of old and new.

1471
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:24,720
Speaker 17: You know, we got you got some two year guys.

1472
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 17: You got some some guys. That's that's year ten. Me six,

1473
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:31,320
Speaker 17: jailk is four. So you know, the experienced level was there.

1474
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:35,440
Speaker 17: The young you know, the young attitude, the young energy

1475
01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:37,440
Speaker 17: is there. So I mean we were not lacking in

1476
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 17: any any any space.

1477
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:41,040
Speaker 4: I think it's a bastroom jail.

1478
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:44,120
Speaker 17: It's just whenever we feel like pulling the trigger and

1479
01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:46,439
Speaker 17: whatever whoever we want to be. You know, it's us

1480
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:48,960
Speaker 17: to decide. It's us to put on filming, us to

1489
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:10,560
Speaker 6: put six years in it? I mean, when you say

1490
01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:12,240
Speaker 6: it doesn't feel like it's possible that you could be,

1491
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:14,120
Speaker 6: but like this, it's like this.

1492
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:18,200
Speaker 17: Man, it's crazy. Man, It's it feels so crazy. I remember,

1493
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:19,280
Speaker 17: I remember you first get there.

1494
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:21,480
Speaker 4: It goes so fast, it goes so fast.

1495
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:24,480
Speaker 17: You believe it, but then when it happened, you're like,

1496
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:28,160
Speaker 17: all right, Like, let me start appreciating stuff a little

1497
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 17: bit more, you know, let me let me when I

1498
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:32,320
Speaker 17: lace up the cleats, you know, let me just take

1499
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 17: a moment to just be thankful that I'm even out

1500
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:37,000
Speaker 17: here running still. You know, just to be able to

1501
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:38,840
Speaker 17: play this game and just call it a job is

1502
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:42,000
Speaker 17: so much like it's it's not I can't even describe

1503
01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:44,280
Speaker 17: it as a dream. It's just something that you can't

1504
01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:47,280
Speaker 17: even like, you can't even explain it. Nobody just get

1505
01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:48,320
Speaker 17: to play football for fun.

1506
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:52,120
Speaker 6: That comes with time, come time, and probably.

1507
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:55,560
Speaker 4: Against us exactly significant.

1508
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 17: Injury, who knows, who knows, who knows how the table turns,

1509
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 17: who knows what happens here on that. But I mean,

1510
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:03,200
Speaker 17: I'm here, I'm kicking and I'm running, and I'm a

1511
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:03,840
Speaker 17: Cleveland Brown.

1512
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:05,000
Speaker 2: So I'm just happy to be here.

1513
01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:07,560
Speaker 4: Honestly, do you get a vibe from this team?

1514
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:10,000
Speaker 3: So I imagine when you went to the Steelers in

1515
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:12,280
Speaker 3: twenty and eighteen, it was kind of you know, at

1516
01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:14,920
Speaker 3: that point, the Browns were coming off of a windless season.

1517
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:17,840
Speaker 3: Area this seem you look around, you know, there's there's

1518
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:18,440
Speaker 3: real talent.

1519
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:19,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not.

1520
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:23,040
Speaker 17: It's completely different. It's not the Cleveland Browns from when

1521
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:27,240
Speaker 17: I came in, honestly, and just just from the guys Garrett,

1522
01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 17: you know, Chubb, who else, bon Antonio, like, those guys

1523
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:35,360
Speaker 17: really laid the foundation on what's going on right now

1524
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:38,560
Speaker 17: because they was here when when everything was getting kicked around.

1525
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:38,440
Speaker 2: You know.

1526
01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:42,080
Speaker 17: Yeah, so you know, they respect to them and thankful

1527
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 17: for those guys that stuck with it and brought the

1528
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:46,160
Speaker 17: Cleveland Browns to where they at Now.

1529
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:48,400
Speaker 4: We're uniform junkies.

1530
01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:50,600
Speaker 3: So I have to ask last year in Seattle, when

1531
01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:53,280
Speaker 3: you guys brought those throwbacks back warm against the Browns,

1532
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 3: and those are some those are pretty sweet.

1533
01:04:56,200 --> 01:05:00,960
Speaker 17: I kept every single last jersey, helmet, gloves, just just

1534
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:03,960
Speaker 17: so I can, just so I can appreciate.

1535
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:06,480
Speaker 4: Throw it out of mannequin someday and be like, oh, I'm.

1536
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:09,240
Speaker 17: About like eight maniguins, and just line up the whole

1537
01:05:09,720 --> 01:05:12,520
Speaker 17: jersey collection and just let it just sitting there, and

1538
01:05:13,160 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 17: I'm just gonna get old with it.

1539
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:18,720
Speaker 3: You know that we're gonna add the whites this year.

1540
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:20,440
Speaker 3: I think you're gonna like the I mean, our classics

1541
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:22,640
Speaker 3: are good, but the throwback white yeah, white.

1548
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 3: being in Seattle, so doesn't having family is.

1573

1574
01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:01,800

Speaker 6: room with the best defensive football last year?

1578
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:10,800
Speaker 2: How it came about? You know, it's just you know

1579
01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:12,920
Speaker 2: the craziness of football. Like if you were to ask

1580
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:14,560
Speaker 2: me at to begin a free agency what I'd be

1581
01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:16,680
Speaker 2: in Cleveland? I probably like, no, I'll probably be back

1582
01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:19,240
Speaker 2: with the Jets. But you know, things happen and I

1583
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 2: think I'm where I'm supposed to be, And like you

1584
01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:24,600
Speaker 2: said before, and I just knowing I had the opportunity

1585
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:27,440
Speaker 2: to come join an already great defensive line, like, I

1586
01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:30,040
Speaker 2: couldn't pass up the opportunity. You know, I'm excited to

1587
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:32,240
Speaker 2: get with those guys, get in that room and get

1588
01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:33,800
Speaker 2: after it this year. You know, they put up some

1589
01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:35,560
Speaker 2: great numbers last year, so it was like, man, let's

1590
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:35,920
Speaker 2: top that.

1591
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:38,680
Speaker 4: Is it nice to know that you'll never be double teamed?

1592
01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:41,400
Speaker 2: Oh that's lovely.

1593
01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:42,360
Speaker 4: Yes, pretty much a lot.

1594
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:44,560
Speaker 2: Everybody slapped the miles. Let me get all of one

1595
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:46,800
Speaker 2: on one. But I'm excited, you know, especially play with

1596
01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:49,680
Speaker 2: a player of his caliber, you know, future Hall of Flamer,

1597
01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:53,000
Speaker 2: and I'm excited to see him just in person, see

1598
01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:55,400
Speaker 2: him work and pick his brain about things, and just

1599
01:07:55,640 --> 01:07:56,800
Speaker 2: ultimately go play with him.

1600
01:07:56,960 --> 01:07:59,960
Speaker 3: For people who don't know, you're an incredibly productive player.

1601
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:02,360
Speaker 3: You can rush the quarterback, and when you can do that,

1602
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:04,040
Speaker 3: you can play in this league for a very long time.

1603
01:08:04,120 --> 01:08:07,120
Speaker 3: And you've done it so effectively that every year a

1604
01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:09,400
Speaker 3: new team wants you. No, no, you know you're gonna come

1605
01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:11,920
Speaker 3: play with us. Now, six sacs last year career, how

1606
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:14,200
Speaker 3: you got sixteen total the last three seasons, you got

1607
01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:18,000
Speaker 3: at least thirteen quarterback hits in three straight seasons. What

1608
01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:19,800
Speaker 3: is it about you that allows you to get to

1609
01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:21,280
Speaker 3: the quarterback? What do you kind of hang your hat

1610
01:08:21,320 --> 01:08:22,240
Speaker 3: on as a pass rusher?

1611
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:22,759
Speaker 14: Uh?

1612
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:25,760
Speaker 2: First, I think my parents giving me this guy given

1613
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:29,920
Speaker 2: ability jeans that helps. But I was fortunately even coming

1614
01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:31,760
Speaker 2: to the league, just having great guys look up to,

1615
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:33,759
Speaker 2: you know. My first year I was with Michael Bennett,

1616
01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:36,400
Speaker 2: who I live like modeled my game after and still

1617
01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:38,759
Speaker 2: to this day he coaches me up in cliff April

1618
01:08:39,160 --> 01:08:42,120
Speaker 2: and just getting my hands, they got my hands good,

1619
01:08:42,160 --> 01:08:45,000
Speaker 2: and just my knowledge of the game. And yeah, just

1620
01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:46,680
Speaker 2: year in year all I was fortunate to play with

1621
01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:49,400
Speaker 2: great players and I try to just take away something

1622
01:08:49,439 --> 01:08:51,800
Speaker 2: of everybody's game, you know, and just always trying to

1623
01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:55,959
Speaker 2: just learn and build and just just I love competing,

1624
01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:57,920
Speaker 2: you know. So every year I just come out with

1625
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:00,759
Speaker 2: a new attitude, new mind just trying to make myself

1626
01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:03,000
Speaker 2: better even this year. Like I think last year was

1627
01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:05,320
Speaker 2: a good season, but I want to be even better

1628
01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:09,639
Speaker 2: than it was last year. And yeah, just like yeah,

1629
01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:12,439
Speaker 2: just been blessed with just having the mindset, competitive adge

1630
01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:13,439
Speaker 2: and just just worked out.

1631
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:15,880
Speaker 6: You know, it's centric when you when you're you have

1632
01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:18,040
Speaker 6: the choice to go whatever you want and you went

1633
01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:19,760
Speaker 6: through this process and you said you, well, probably would

1634
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:21,840
Speaker 6: have thought I wouldn't end up back with the Jets. Uh,

1635
01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:24,320
Speaker 6: when when Cleveland decide? When it when it became obviously

1636
01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:27,760
Speaker 6: Cleveland was interested. What what type of work do you

1637
01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:29,840
Speaker 6: do then to make sure it's a fit. How how

1638
01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:32,120
Speaker 6: close do you look at what Jim Schwartz does defensively

1639
01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:34,120
Speaker 6: the guys in the room, because obviously you want to play,

1640
01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:36,120
Speaker 6: you want to have impact. Six sex last year, Yeah,

1641
01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:38,439
Speaker 6: let's get seven next year. Like, how how do you

1642
01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:40,280
Speaker 6: what do you look at? What's that checklist look like?

1643
01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:41,479
Speaker 6: Definitely scheme.

1644
01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:45,519
Speaker 2: Scheme is the biggest thing, and you know, coming into

1645
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:48,320
Speaker 2: the league, I always use it in a handful of ways.

1646
01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:51,000
Speaker 2: I played probably every position across the D line, but

1647
01:09:51,320 --> 01:09:54,599
Speaker 2: just knowing what that coordinator's vision is for you and

1648
01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:56,679
Speaker 2: definitely a line. I don't know if you know, guys

1649
01:09:56,720 --> 01:09:59,320
Speaker 2: know I came here last year on a visit and

1650
01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:02,080
Speaker 2: honestly was between here and the Jets end up going

1651
01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:04,080
Speaker 2: to New York. But you know, everything works yourself out,

1652
01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:09,439
Speaker 2: and I mean I'm back here and yeah, it worked out.

1653
01:10:09,479 --> 01:10:11,280
Speaker 2: House supposed to think you said, like Schwartz, I know

1654
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:13,920
Speaker 2: he's gonna put me in a great situation. His defense,

1655
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:15,080
Speaker 2: the D line always eats.

1656
01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:15,320
Speaker 14: You know.

1657
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:18,240
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm best utilized when I could get

1658
01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:19,599
Speaker 2: off the ball, create havoc.

1659
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:20,880
Speaker 4: That's what they're gonna tell you to do.

1660
01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:25,680
Speaker 2: Yes, you're going, yeah, go. And even Jock we we

1661
01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:28,040
Speaker 2: had familiarity. He was with me and the Bills, and

1662
01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:29,479
Speaker 2: I know he's gonna get and put me in the

1663
01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:32,000
Speaker 2: best position to be successful. So it just yeah, worked out.

1664
01:10:32,160 --> 01:10:34,560
Speaker 4: You're with Shelby and Seattle, right, Yeah, you talk to

1665
01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:35,200
Speaker 4: Shelby at all.

1666
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:37,240
Speaker 2: No, I still got a holler out of man Shelby.

1667
01:10:37,240 --> 01:10:38,000
Speaker 2: He a funny dude.

1668
01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:40,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was just in here last week.

1669
01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:41,320
Speaker 2: He re signed.

1670
01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:42,639
Speaker 4: A hilarious guy.

1671
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:44,519
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to get in the locker room and

1672
01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:47,080
Speaker 2: joe him some more. That's gonna be fun.

1673
01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:49,600
Speaker 3: It's and it's a very good I would say, and

1674
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:53,080
Speaker 3: a very veteran room. You'll have yourself. Shelby, Maurice Hurst

1675
01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:55,640
Speaker 3: has been league for while, Dalvin Tomlinson and then in

1676
01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:57,880
Speaker 3: the edge you know, Miles and Zadarius have been around

1677
01:10:57,880 --> 01:11:00,120
Speaker 3: for a while of Ookronco. So it's a good it's

1678
01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:02,120
Speaker 3: a good mix. It's a tight room. I think you

1679
01:11:02,120 --> 01:11:03,880
Speaker 3: guys have a lot of fun. Do you like, do

1680
01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:06,439
Speaker 3: you care for three three fours? That's something because I'm

1681
01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:08,120
Speaker 3: sure you've been in all of it throughout your career.

1682
01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:10,120
Speaker 3: But this will be more similar of a.

1683
01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:12,840
Speaker 4: Man just saw what Sala was having to you.

1684
01:11:13,640 --> 01:11:15,519
Speaker 2: I used to say like, oh, it really doesn't matter,

1685
01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:18,400
Speaker 2: but it being a little older, I think it does.

1686
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:21,160
Speaker 2: It does matter. I definitely prefer to being a fourth

1687
01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:23,839
Speaker 2: three skin, you know, I think four to three skins

1688
01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:26,880
Speaker 2: do showcase d Line Moore three four. I feel like

1689
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 2: what you're asked is kind of hold up blocks and

1690
01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:32,680
Speaker 2: be like a bigger bill guy. And like when I

1691
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:34,599
Speaker 2: went back to Seattle doing it again, I was like, yeah,

1692
01:11:34,640 --> 01:11:38,080
Speaker 2: the same for me. Rather rather use my athletics, I'm

1693
01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:40,759
Speaker 2: at my best going this way, not reading and holding

1694
01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:41,280
Speaker 2: guys up.

1695
01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:44,200
Speaker 3: So one thing you were used to that'll be similar

1696
01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:46,480
Speaker 3: to last year was you had a very good secondary

1697
01:11:46,479 --> 01:11:48,680
Speaker 3: behind you, you know, with sauce and read, and you

1698
01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:49,439
Speaker 3: knew that at.

1699
01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:51,320
Speaker 4: Times they were gonna have to hold the ball that

1700
01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:52,160
Speaker 4: let's get there.

1701
01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:55,639
Speaker 3: So you know, Denzel m j Emmerson, Greg knew someone

1702
01:11:55,640 --> 01:11:58,920
Speaker 3: We've got good safeties as well, and we're going third

1703
01:11:58,920 --> 01:12:01,880
Speaker 3: along a lot, so that I imagine music to your ears.

1704
01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:03,639
Speaker 3: But how important is that you know, when you're thinking

1705
01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:05,360
Speaker 3: of it as a defensive lineman, when you know that

1706
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:08,160
Speaker 3: the guys behind you can cover, how much easier does

1707
01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:09,679
Speaker 3: that make your job or change your mindset?

1708
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:13,000
Speaker 2: It makes it kind of easier, but honestly, I would

1709
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:14,559
Speaker 2: say it kind of makes it harder because I know

1710
01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:17,920
Speaker 2: if they complete a pass, it's on us, especially a

1711
01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:20,320
Speaker 2: third long. So it's like I have to have an

1712
01:12:20,360 --> 01:12:23,360
Speaker 2: even more heightened sense of urgency because I know, like, man,

1713
01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:25,280
Speaker 2: he pat the ball, we got to get home. We

1714
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:27,720
Speaker 2: got to get home. So everybody has to raise their

1715
01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:30,040
Speaker 2: sense of urgency, you know, so you got to act

1716
01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:32,400
Speaker 2: like your hair is on fire. So yeah, knowing that,

1717
01:12:32,439 --> 01:12:33,840
Speaker 2: I just want to do my part. I'm like, I

1718
01:12:33,880 --> 01:12:36,000
Speaker 2: don't want my brothers out there covering all day. So

1719
01:12:36,200 --> 01:12:37,320
Speaker 2: like we get a pat, we got to get the

1720
01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:37,960
Speaker 2: quarterback down.

1721
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:40,599
Speaker 4: I like that, Yeah, this is a get a sack.

1722
01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:43,160
Speaker 6: I'm looking at these places you've been, Probably the most

1723
01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:46,760
Speaker 6: similar from a rabid fan base is probably Buffalo is

1724
01:12:47,080 --> 01:12:49,760
Speaker 6: probably a similar. And this is man, this is a

1725
01:12:49,840 --> 01:12:53,479
Speaker 6: hungry town, it's a hungry team. It's a hungry division, Like,

1726
01:12:53,920 --> 01:12:55,160
Speaker 6: I mean, it's gonna be a lot of fun, but

1727
01:12:55,280 --> 01:12:58,040
Speaker 6: this is a snake pit of a division when when

1728
01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:00,200
Speaker 6: you look and how much have you paid attention you

1729
01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:02,360
Speaker 6: all of the teams in the North, what you have

1730
01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:04,599
Speaker 6: signing up for in a weekend week at our basis

1731
01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:05,040

Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you know, I'm from Pittsburgh, so you know up. Yeah,

1733
01:13:07,640 --> 01:13:09,840
Speaker 2: I grew up watching this division even over the years

1734
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:13,000
Speaker 2: how it's evolved to now. Yeah, it's probably the most

1735
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:16,439
Speaker 2: competitive Convision division in football right now, you know, And

01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:20,519
Speaker 2: level of play. I know, there's no off days. You

1754

Speaker 2: I don't think we We don't know if we ever

1756

1757
01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:09,680

1759
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:13,519
Speaker 2: the reason why I do the things I do, the

1760
01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:15,160
Speaker 2: reason why I push my body the way I do

1761

1767
01:14:28,120 --> 01:14:29,800

Speaker 6: last year. We talked a little bit about about fit

1775
01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:48,240
Speaker 6: and how those things work for for our fans who

1776
01:14:48,439 --> 01:14:51,160
Speaker 6: who maybe aren't paying always attention to the defensive line,

1777
01:14:51,439 --> 01:14:53,240
Speaker 6: what are what are they going to get to cheer

1783
01:15:07,040 --> 01:15:08,920
Speaker 2: care if the balls fifty yards down the field I'm

1784
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:11,040
Speaker 2: chasing and who's going to get out to the quarterback?

1785
01:15:11,080 --> 01:15:12,120

1791
01:15:18,479 --> 01:15:19,479
Speaker 3: the Charcucci board.

1792
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:25,280
Speaker 4: Believe was that fun doing hard knocks?

1793
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:29,960
Speaker 2: Honestly, I didn't like it. It was It's a cool situation,

1794
01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:32,080
Speaker 2: but I didn't like it because it was just weird. Because,

1795
01:15:32,200 --> 01:15:34,679
Speaker 2: like I said, we'll be having the con candid conversation

1796
01:15:34,840 --> 01:15:37,120
Speaker 2: like now, and then you'll just see a mic just

1797
01:15:37,560 --> 01:15:39,920
Speaker 2: come over your head in the middle of it. Yeah,

1798
01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:43,280
Speaker 2: and then I feel like you can't really be yourself. Yeah,

1799
01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:45,240
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, sure, but it was. It

1800
01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:48,000
Speaker 2: was a cool experience. But definitely I'm really if you see,

1801
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:49,599
Speaker 2: I'm not even on social media or anything.

1802
01:15:49,640 --> 01:15:55,960
Speaker 6: I like just yeah, like was that that mentalist guy?

1803
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:56,599
Speaker 6: That's all real?

1804
01:15:57,160 --> 01:15:57,400
Speaker 2: Yes?

1805
01:15:59,240 --> 01:15:59,599

1808
01:16:08,479 --> 01:16:09,640
Speaker 18: and all I'm saying is both of.

1809
01:16:09,640 --> 01:16:15,240
Speaker 2: Those years it didn't come to fruition. So it's crazy.

1810
01:16:15,439 --> 01:16:16,920
Speaker 4: I don't know, it's crazy.

1811
01:16:16,960 --> 01:16:18,600
Speaker 3: Some of the stuff he pulled off was wold, so

1812
01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:19,840
Speaker 3: you're saying some of the stuff didn't.

1813
01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:22,160
Speaker 4: So they edited so that some because you.

01:16:58,880 --> 01:17:00,799
Speaker 3: when they see Jefferson on the back your jersey.

01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:11,320

1858
01:18:11,720 --> 01:18:13,559
Speaker 19: And it was stressful at time too, because I just

1859
01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:15,240
Speaker 19: I was kind of ready to get it over with,

1860
01:18:15,479 --> 01:18:17,920
Speaker 19: you know, but you know, I had a couple of options, man,

1861
01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:20,880
Speaker 19: So I once I weighed my options, I just feel like, man,

1862
01:18:20,920 --> 01:18:23,080
Speaker 19: this would be a great fit for me, you know,

1863
01:18:23,240 --> 01:18:27,040
Speaker 19: just seeing the team and that that's here and the defense,

1864
01:18:27,200 --> 01:18:29,360
Speaker 19: Like I had a chance to play against that defense last.

1865
01:18:29,200 --> 01:18:30,439
Speaker 2: Year, man, so that was crazy.

1866
01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:33,360
Speaker 19: I was able to feel, you know, how those guys

1867
01:18:34,439 --> 01:18:36,880
Speaker 19: was playing and you know how they're flying around to

1868
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:39,680
Speaker 19: the football. So so I was very intreated about that.

1869
01:18:39,680 --> 01:18:41,640
Speaker 19: And then also just seeing the weapons and everything that

1870
01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:43,360
Speaker 19: you know that we have on the offense side of

1871
01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:44,200
Speaker 19: the ball as well too.

01:18:44,240 --> 01:18:44,400
Speaker 14: Man.

1873
01:18:44,439 --> 01:18:47,400
Speaker 19: It's it's just it's excited, you know, just every every

1874
01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:49,839
Speaker 19: every piece that's here to the puzzle, and it's excising.

1879
01:18:56,640 --> 01:18:58,439
Speaker 3: hammer and I'm sure you saw it last year. We

1880
01:18:58,439 --> 01:19:01,240
Speaker 3: were very effective and short yardage. We like to run

1881
01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:03,439
Speaker 3: the ball in short yardage and I know that's something

1882
01:19:03,479 --> 01:19:05,360
Speaker 3: that that you've done pretty well with in your career.

Speaker 3: with Deshaun Watson and now reunited here with the Cleveland Browns.

Speaker 2: Yeah. Man, that's cool. You know.

1897
01:19:38,840 --> 01:19:40,840
Speaker 19: So when we came in together, we were just too young,

1898
01:19:40,920 --> 01:19:43,160
Speaker 19: too young guys, man, just trying to trying to find

1899
01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:46,479
Speaker 19: our way and just to see you know what we

1900
01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:48,800
Speaker 19: what we you know, the journeys that we've been on,

1901
01:19:48,880 --> 01:19:51,960
Speaker 19: and you know, to end up here together again, I

1902
01:19:51,960 --> 01:19:54,599
Speaker 19: think it's amazing. Man, It's just crazy how the world works.

1903
01:19:55,439 --> 01:19:55,640
Speaker 2: You know.

1904
01:19:55,680 --> 01:19:57,920
Speaker 19: He was a great, great teammate, you know at the time,

1905
01:19:58,439 --> 01:20:01,479
Speaker 19: you know, a great leader. So I'm looking forward to

1906
01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:03,719
Speaker 19: getting back in the building with him. Well, he actually

1907
01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:04,599
Speaker 19: hit me up.

1908
01:20:05,040 --> 01:20:07,240
Speaker 13: The other day and just told me, you know, he

1909
01:20:07,360 --> 01:20:08,760
Speaker 13: was ready to get back to work with me.

1910
01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:10,040
Speaker 2: So I'm looking forward to for sure.

1911
01:20:10,120 --> 01:20:11,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, that'll be fun. You know, I was going through

1912
01:20:12,040 --> 01:20:16,439
Speaker 4: your career and something jumped out to me.

1913
01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:20,320
Speaker 3: So, you've had in your career eleven games in which

1914
01:20:20,360 --> 01:20:23,479
Speaker 3: you received nineteen or more carries. It's happened eleven times.

1915
01:20:23,960 --> 01:20:26,559
Speaker 3: You've rushed for more than one hundred yards in seven

1916
01:20:26,600 --> 01:20:30,520
Speaker 3: of those eleven games. So when you've gotten the opportunity

1917
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:33,680
Speaker 3: to be the guy, you've been the guy you did

1918
01:20:33,760 --> 01:20:36,880
Speaker 3: in Carolina, certainly did last year times in Chicago, but

1919
01:20:37,520 --> 01:20:41,160
Speaker 3: in Tennessee as well. When you get that opportunity. Are

1920
01:20:41,200 --> 01:20:42,599
Speaker 3: you guys who just feels like the more you get

1921
01:20:42,600 --> 01:20:44,360
Speaker 3: the ball, the better you get because you can wear

1922
01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:47,479
Speaker 3: people down. But I mean that is to me, that says, Okay,

1923
01:20:47,920 --> 01:20:49,560
Speaker 3: feed them in the rock. He's gonna give you a

1924
01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:50,200
Speaker 3: hundred yards.

1925
01:20:50,280 --> 01:20:50,759
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1926
01:20:50,920 --> 01:20:53,000
Speaker 19: So my biggest thing is when I go into every game,

1927
01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:54,760
Speaker 19: I think, I don't If I don't leave the game

1928
01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:56,680
Speaker 19: with one hundred yards, I didn't do my job. That's

1929
01:20:56,720 --> 01:20:58,880
Speaker 19: kind of That's just always been my mindset. And I

1930
01:20:58,880 --> 01:21:00,680
Speaker 19: know it's not I mean, that's not what happened every game.

1931
01:21:00,680 --> 01:21:03,280
Speaker 19: It's that happen every weekend. But yeah, that's just the mindset.

1932
01:21:03,360 --> 01:21:05,360
Speaker 19: So definitely when I'm getting the load and I'm getting

1933
01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:08,080
Speaker 19: you know, the ball, and you know, we you know,

1934
01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:11,760
Speaker 19: you know, just consistently of course, Like that's that's the

1935
01:21:11,760 --> 01:21:13,559
Speaker 19: biggest thing. Make play, try to get an end zone

1936
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:15,760
Speaker 19: and just you know, get to that honey yard mark

1937
01:21:15,880 --> 01:21:17,040
Speaker 19: some way form of fashion.

1938
01:21:17,080 --> 01:21:17,960
Speaker 2: We got to get to it.

1939
01:21:18,520 --> 01:21:20,160
Speaker 19: And I just think, you know, it's not really just

1940
01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:22,000
Speaker 19: solely about me getting to a hundred, just about I

1941
01:21:22,040 --> 01:21:24,439
Speaker 19: feel like if I get to a hundred and just

1942
01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:27,120
Speaker 19: with the way I play, I think the other team's

1943
01:21:27,160 --> 01:21:29,160
Speaker 19: gonna feel that and they're gonna feel that energy. And

1944
01:21:29,720 --> 01:21:31,280
Speaker 19: you know, once I get going, I just think it's

1945
01:21:31,280 --> 01:21:33,320
Speaker 19: hard for me to stop. So it's like, yeah, like

1946
01:21:33,400 --> 01:21:36,240
Speaker 19: once I get get laded up a little bit, I'm

1947
01:21:36,280 --> 01:21:36,880
Speaker 19: going for sure.

1948
01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:38,680
Speaker 3: I can envision there were a few years ago when

1949
01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:41,040
Speaker 3: we had when Kareem was a little bit younger, and

1950
01:21:41,120 --> 01:21:42,800
Speaker 3: we had Nick back. And we'll see when we when

1951
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:45,240
Speaker 3: we do get Nick Chubb back this year. But you'd

1952
01:21:45,280 --> 01:21:46,800
Speaker 3: have games where Nick would run on people and then

1953
01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:48,880
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, second half, fourth quarter they'd bring

1954
01:21:48,920 --> 01:21:51,519
Speaker 3: in a fresh Kareem and he would just annihilate people

1955
01:21:51,520 --> 01:21:52,960
Speaker 3: like I can imagine. You know, one of the reasons

1956
01:21:52,960 --> 01:21:54,479
Speaker 3: I'm sure for a guy like you come to a

1957
01:21:54,479 --> 01:21:56,479
Speaker 3: team that's winning, because winning teams run the ball a

1958
01:21:56,520 --> 01:21:58,360
Speaker 3: lot in the fourth quarter, and you get an opportuny

1959
01:21:58,360 --> 01:21:59,080
Speaker 3: to wear somebody down.

1960
01:21:59,200 --> 01:22:03,679
Speaker 19: Yeah, you know, so just washing it from afar, watching

1961
01:22:03,720 --> 01:22:05,839
Speaker 19: those two guys go to work together, man, that was amazing.

1962
01:22:05,880 --> 01:22:06,120
Speaker 2: It was.

1963
01:22:06,320 --> 01:22:08,160
Speaker 19: It was great to see, you know, definitely from being

1964
01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:11,040
Speaker 19: a running back and just seeing how those two compliment

1965
01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:13,360
Speaker 19: each other and the way they the way they played, man,

1966
01:22:13,400 --> 01:22:15,840
Speaker 19: it was it was great to watch. So you know,

1967
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:17,439
Speaker 19: I just want to come in and just kind of

1968
01:22:17,520 --> 01:22:20,600
Speaker 19: hold my weight through my part, you know, and just

1969
01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:21,120
Speaker 19: help us win.

1970
01:22:21,240 --> 01:22:21,400
Speaker 2: Man.

1971
01:22:21,439 --> 01:22:23,760
Speaker 19: You know, I'm not trying to be anybody or fit

1972
01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:25,760
Speaker 19: in any anything. I just want to come in and

1973
01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:27,880
Speaker 19: just beat myself through what I got to do. And

1974
01:22:27,920 --> 01:22:30,439
Speaker 19: I think with me doing that, I think I think

1975
01:22:30,479 --> 01:22:31,519

Speaker 20: bring the same thing to the table, get open, create

2117
01:27:45,960 --> 01:27:48,759
Speaker 20: separation and make plays after the catch and I feel

2118
01:27:48,760 --> 01:27:51,439
Speaker 20: like that we got a great set of receiver cord

2119
01:27:51,479 --> 01:27:53,320
Speaker 20: that could bring all that to the table.

2120
01:27:53,360 --> 01:27:56,360
Speaker 9: Actually, and looking at what Deshaun brings, you know, from

2121
01:27:56,400 --> 01:27:58,519
Speaker 9: a quarterback standpoint, I Denver, you went through a bunch

2122
01:27:58,520 --> 01:28:01,280
Speaker 9: of different quarterbacks. But what do you think or how

2123
01:28:01,320 --> 01:28:03,639
Speaker 9: do you think your skill set can fit with Deshaun

2124
01:28:04,120 --> 01:28:05,760
Speaker 9: and just the way that you two can compliment one

2125
01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:06,400
Speaker 9: another as well.

2126
01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:08,840
Speaker 20: I think we could compliment each other real well. You know,

2127
01:28:09,160 --> 01:28:13,120
Speaker 20: Deshaun a smart, accurate quarterback that know where to put

2128
01:28:13,160 --> 01:28:15,200
Speaker 20: the ball for receivers to make plays. And it was

2129
01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:18,040
Speaker 20: gonna be excited just to I've been watching DeShawn since

2130
01:28:18,080 --> 01:28:20,840
Speaker 20: he was at Clemson, so watching him play and being

2131
01:28:20,920 --> 01:28:22,639
Speaker 20: actually being able to play with him, so it gonna

2132
01:28:22,680 --> 01:28:23,120
Speaker 20: be exciting.

2133
01:28:23,640 --> 01:28:25,360
Speaker 9: Have you heard from any of the guys on the

2134
