00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 1: I am field side and right now my view of

7
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: the field currently obstructed here on Cleveland Brown's Daily because

8
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 1: I've got Gibbe and Big Drew in front of me.

9
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: They are trying to get us on the video stream

10
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: once again. Gibbe was efforting this all night last night,

11
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: a yeoman's effort. We appreciate it. The audio is back

12
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: on the streets, so we think the odds out there.

13
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'll get a text from from the official

14
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: Nana who will say yes or no, yea or nay

15
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: and then no no gibe And then now Gibb is

16
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: working on the video stream because look, we know this

17
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: is an important time that year. We're trying to deal

18
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: with that now. There are things that have been out

19
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: of our control, things out of our hands that we've

20
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: been focusing on. But right now what we could tell

21
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,559
Speaker 1: you is we're working on that I wish you could

22
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: see this, just the effort, the blood to sweat, the

23
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: tears that are being poured into attempting to get this

24
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: camera to work. And now Drew saying, give a step

25
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: aside and let a real professional in here and let

26
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: me try to do some things. And so that's what's happening,

27
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: uh with the Browns. Will have more of a ramped

28
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: up practice today. This will be kind of like an

29
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: O T A period. In fact, we will see some

30
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: offense against defense today. Yesterday we will and just in

31
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: the seven on seven's on seven on in the team periods,

32
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: it will be very much quarter speed. And then tomorrow

33
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: will be very much like a regular practice, the first

34
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: one of the year. And then we know first padded

35
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: practice next Tuesday here at the Cross Country Mortgage Campus.

36
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: A little bit of news for the Browns. Number one

37
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: Anthony Schwartz left practice yesterday with an injury. He was

38
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: out here during the walkthrough with a rap on his knee.

39
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 1: I'm told it is not considered to be a serious injury,

40
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: and so hopefully Schwartz will be able to get back

41
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: out on the practice field quickly, because as we said,

42
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: he's an important part of I believe what the Browns

43
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: want to do offensively, and his progress is gonna be

44
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: critical if the Browns want to keep this roster as

45
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 1: it is today without having to make any additions in

46
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: the wide receiver room. I think Anthony Schwartz's development is critical.

47
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: So it looks like they may have dodged a bullet there.

48
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: So that's good that it's not considered to be incredibly serious. Uh,

49
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: no decision today on Deshaun Watson. The Associated Press letting

50
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: us know that perhaps it could come sometime next week. Actually,

51
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: who knows when it's really kind of the thinking, but

52
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: it will not be today, which means obviously, Judge Sue

53
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: Robinson knows that people are waiting for this decision and said, hey,

54
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: you will wait longer. What's that? What movie is it?

55
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: What movie is it? When he's like, I think it's

56
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: got to be like Ace event. Sure, in my mind

57
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: it's Ace. Ventura says this. If I'm not back in

58
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: five minutes, just wait longer. That's what Robins and saying.

59
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: If I don't have my decision today, just wait from

60
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: a very tenure, to be from a specific period of time. Yeah,

61
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: it's impressive, thank you. I appreciate that very much. Getting

62
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: the field set up here, isn't that a h I

63
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: believe that's a young a young luminary, is it. I believe.

64
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: So getting out here earning his keep. You love to

65
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: see that. It's it's yeah, everybody's getting involved teaching young.

66
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: That's why I believe the children are a future. Teach

67
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: them well and let them lead the way. Show them

68
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: all the beauty they possess inside. That's right, give them

69
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: some sur pride. That's right, Drew, that's right. So yesterday

70
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: again big takeaways. Everything was on air yesterday in the

71
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: training camp for the Browns. But as we said, it

72
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: looked good. It should it should look good. It looked

73
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: good on air as it should. Donovan People's Jones had

74
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: and a couple of nice grabs on some beautiful balls

75
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: from Deshaun Watson. Another one down the sideline to Demitric

76
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: Felton really stood out. So that was it was good

77
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: to see. From an offensive standpoint. Defense they're working on here,

78
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: so it's very difficult on to ascertain what they're doing,

79
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: but the offense that should look flawless on here, and

80
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: I would say yesterday it did look flawless. So that

81
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: that was very good there. Coming up on today's show,

82
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: this is a big one. Give A is really just

83
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: getting it done. One thirty Kevin Stefanski live at the podium.

84
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: One Kevin Stefanski live on this show. And so we

85
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: are going to take great notes, copious notes to make

86
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: sure that we do not repeat any of the questions,

87
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: so that it is all new content for you, and

88
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 1: we'll try to dive and do some things with Kevin Stefanski.

89
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: Now give a correct me if I'm wrong. But I'm

90
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: noticing something on these uprights that maybe it was there

91
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: the other days, but I don't know that I've seen

92
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: it actually on the goal post stanchion itself, the pad.

93
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: Have you noticed that pad? Noticing it right now? And

94
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: I noticed it on dpj's shirt the other day or

95
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: earlier today. Oh baby, that's right, the running Elf is

96
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: right there on those goal post pads. It's on the

97
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: training camp sign. Where else are we going to see it?

98
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know, but I'm excited, quite

99
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: frankly about the possibilities, very excited about the possibilities there.

100
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: So you guys get to see that when you come

101
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: out here to the cross country Mortgage Campus for training

102
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: camp today. As we said, day three will resemble more

103
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: closely one of the O t A periods, which is

104
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 1: a good thing for the Browns as we continue to

105
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: ramp up in this acclamation period. As I mentioned, not

106
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: only do we have Kevin Stefanski live, we will have

107
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: Joe Woods, the defensive coordinator from the podium. We've got

108
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: an exclusive one on one with Nick Harris, the Browns

109
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: starting center. I think you guys are gonna enjoy that

110
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: one quite a bit. And then a two thirty Omar Ruiz,

111
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: who has been in Cleveland all week covering the team,

112
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: we will get him live on set as well. So

113
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: it's an absolutely loaded show here, GiB A, and I'm

114
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: excited about it. I know that you are. And really

115
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: we got two hours here to have a lot of fun.

116
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: People give him some information about the Browns football team.

117
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: But so far through two days, the only really news

118
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: is that with Anthony Schwartz. But again, the team feels

119
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: like it is avoided a signific a kin injury there.

120
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: And then beyond that, it's the Deshaun Watson situation where

121
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: we still the weight goes on and you know what

122
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: I had reached a breaking point and now I'm off

123
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: the brave Drew did it? Has Drew done it? Are

124
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: we up? Baby? I don't know, but I'm about to

125
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: take out digital. Let's go. We could be there to

126
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: night there yet all right? Game off? No Wayne's World?

127
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: Game on? Game off? There you go, give a base

128
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: things that maybe we're back on. Uh. I want to

129
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 1: talk for a second, and I realized this is in

130
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: our one fifteen segment. But at this point, like, let's

131
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: just talk about it because I think it's really a

132
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:42,559
Speaker 1: fascinating thing. Really yesterday, know what happened with Kyler Murphy.

133
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: So the Kyler Murray situation. He signs this big extension,

134
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: huge news, everybody's happy about it, wonderful didn't get as

135
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: much guaranteed money as you know, DeSean. What did that

136
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: mean for the quarterback market? And then it comes out

137
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: that there was a clause in the contract that basically

138
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't aullify the guarantees in the contract if he did

139
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: not take his film seriously, stud his film study seriously,

140
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: and if he did not, if he did not, you know,

141
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: if he was distracted while he's doing if he had

142
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: the TV on while he was watching film, if he

143
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: had was playing video games. He's a big gamer while

144
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: he was watching film. So that's in the contract that

145
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: his agent and he agreed to and they signed. Now

146
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: that clause then became public, and once the clause became public,

147
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: it became a problem. People are saying, well, wait a second,

148
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: why would you make this guy your fantasy, your franchise quarterback.

149
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: Why would you give him this huge extension if you

150
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: feel like, on some level he is not doing what

151
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: he needs to do to be a full time franchise quarterback,

152
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: he is not putting in the work to do it.

153
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: And so that becomes in my mind, that's wild, right that.

154
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: And we heard yesterday, Remember he heads to the poet

155
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: hum yesterday and he says, this is disrespectful. It's almost

156
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: a joke that there is this stipulation. This Now, Kyler

157
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: Murray again signed this contract? Did it? It? Asks? It

158
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: begs the question, did his agent no? What was going on? Yes?

159
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: Did his agent tell Kyler Murray that this clause was

160
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: in the contract? I don't know. I would imagine Kyler

161
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: is not reading this contract line by line by line. However,

162
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: what has happened now? He was obviously piste off then

163
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. Late yesterday, the Arizona Cardinals delete that

164
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: clause from the contract. They say, no, you know what,

165
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 1: this has caused a lot of problems. Nobody's happy about it.

166
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: Let's just work. We're deleting it, and let's all just

167
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: pretend like this never happened. So clearly, the Arizona Cardinals

168
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: felt that Kyler murray study habits as they were prior

169
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,719
Speaker 1: to the signing of that contract were up to par

170
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: with what the contract that they had given him and

171
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: his desire to be the franchise quarterback in their desire

172
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: for him to be a Francise Are we on YouTube yet?

173
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 1: Are we? I see myself? Oh baby, let's go on

174
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: the screen. Yeah, I'll take it. I'll take it. Um. So,

175
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: they obviously felt that his study habits prior to signing

176
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: that deal, we're not where they needed to be, and

177
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: they felt that they must link the guarantees in this

178
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: contract to his study habits. Okay, that didn't change in

179
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: twenty four hours. That didn't change. I have to imagine

180
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: that was somewhat of a sticking point in the contract.

181
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: I would think, or perhaps the agent just said, yo,

182
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: what let's do it. Because in my mind, it would

183
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: have been easy to say, you know what, this is

184
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: insulting Kyler Murray, will go play quarterback anywhere else. There

185
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: are plenty of teams that would want Kyler Murray to

186
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: play quarterback for them. And remember, they wanted to give

187
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: him all of this money. So it just became what

188
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: I think, a ridiculous, ridiculous situation. And so, as I said,

189
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 1: the Cardinals decided to remove that clause from the contract.

190
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: They deleted it yesterday, and they made a statement about

191
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: it as well, basically saying, we didn't like this, We

192
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: didn't like what had happened here, We don't like the

193
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 1: way that everybody is perceiving it. This isn't our intention,

194
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: we're deleting it. It was your intention. Kyler's side of it,

195
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: saw this contract and agreed to sign it. And yet

196
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: because of the public backlash, which is quite obvious, right,

197
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: it was obvious why there would be some backlash about it,

198
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: It is that they decided then now to get rid

199
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: of it. Now, Mike Florio saying, now, why would they

200
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: try to get rid of it after it happened, Why

201
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 1: would they try to just basically say, you know what,

202
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: here it is By the way, here's the exact statement.

203
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: I was checking it down after seeing the distraction it created.

204
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: We have removed the addendum from the contract. It was

205
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: clearly perceived in ways that were never intended. Our confidence

206
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: in Kyler Murray is as high as it's ever been,

207
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: and nothing demonstrates our belief in his ability to lead.

208
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: This seem more than the commitment reflected in this contract. Okay,

209
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: it was in the contract because they wanted it there.

210
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: He does an unscheduled press conference, come and say you

211
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: know what. He literally walked into the media room, went

212
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: to the podium and says, this pisses me off. This

213
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: is a joke. Now it's over. Now it's gone. Oh hello,

214
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: my beautiful people. We are so great to see you.

215
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: So cludon daily back now on YouTube as well, YouTube

216
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: dot com, slash streaming on the app. We're back baby Friday.

217
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: Let's go GiB get down on Friday the next Yeah,

218
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: we're out of here. No, we've got too much good

219
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: stuff for the people today. Stefanski, Stefanski, Woods, Harris Ruise.

220
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a loaded lineup today, so we gotta

221
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: stay here for the folks. But this is just an

222
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: unbelievable situation that's unfolded now. Mike Floria Pro Football Talk

223
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: thinks that perhaps they did this because Kyler Murray might

224
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 1: be so mad that he would file fire his agent,

225
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: Eric Burkhard. If that happens, a new agent, they don't

226
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: get paid until there's a new deal, which means that

227
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: new agent would want a new deal to be negotiated,

228
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: probably sooner than the current agent. So that is to me,

229
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: I think that's an interesting theory. I think the fact

230
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: of the matter is it was horrific pr They know

231
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: that if they get rid of the clause that will

232
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: be painful in the short term, but people will forget

233
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 1: about it in the long term, and I think that's

234
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: what they're going for. It clearly was something that was

235
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: offensive to Kyler Murray, which again, did Kyler Murray know

236
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: that was in the clause that he signed, that's the question.

237
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: Feels like not because he felt pretty insulted by it.

238
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: The Cardinals also obviously felt they needed it in there.

239
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: So it's of the craziest situations I can remember. And

240
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: it's a fascinating thing the way that this is gone

241
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: and played out and and now it was here and

242
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 1: it's gone and all in a week, and yet they

243
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: made that decision quickly. We still don't have a decision

244
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 1: on our quarterback in terms of what's gonna happen with

245
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 1: Sue Robinson. But they put the clause in, they took

246
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,719
Speaker 1: us the clause out. It's like you put your right

247
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: foot in, you take right foot out. They're doing a

248
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: little hokey pokey over their little contract hokey pokey with

249
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray in Arizona. I almost see it looks worse.

250
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: Of course it does if if you just want to

251
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: let it go away. So my question is who leaked it? Normally,

252
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: in the situation that you said, there would be somebody

253
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: that would stand to gain from the leaking of it.

254
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: The only people that I feel like would gain from

255
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: the knowledge of that clause being in the contract would

256
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: be other NFL agents who would like to represent Kyler Murray.

257
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: How would they have that information? That I don't know.

258
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: But it doesn't behoove the Cardinals. Let it be the

259
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: world know that they needed their franchise quarterback to you know,

260
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: put in the study time or else his contract was

261
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: going to be avoided, and it certainly didn't benefit Kyler Murray.

262
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: So there doesn't seem to be a clear obvious motive

263
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 1: for why this became public in the first place. Obviously,

264
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: the fallout was big, it was swift, and now that

265
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: clause is gone. But it is really a very interesting,

266
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: interesting kind of turn of events. And really a couple

267
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: of days down there in Arizona, some news out of

268
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: Carolina Robby Anderson the wide receiver is now going by

269
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: Robbie r O B B I E as opposed to

270
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: R O B B Y. He says, it looks better.

271
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: Where do you want to go by on Monday? Listen,

272
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: give me some time, let me think about it a

273
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: little more. Dragon Dragon all schedule of press conference in

274
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: that media room, there's like in there, I mean, where

275
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: do you want to go by? Like every day we're

276
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: getting name we were getting the we were getting the

277
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: almost daily. Well that's over. That's over. So now we

278
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: need name changes every day. Yeah, here we go. We'll

279
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: think of it. We'll see what Stevie wants to go by,

280
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: and then we'll reject it and we'll go with Stevie. Hey,

281
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: he's making the effort here. He's doing good. He's doing good.

00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: Shout out to David. He said, closing on my home

Speaker 1: I don't know, just thinking out that we did it right.

304
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: That's what Stevie's future roles. That's what it is. This

305
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,640

Speaker 1: trying to do a radio show, Emmy Award winning TV

356
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 1: and yo, tell you how many times today this guy

357
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: does this the moment someone like remotely gives him the

358
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: opportunity to flex, I'm not even big, it's hilarious. It's ironic. Flex.

359
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get there, though, I'm trying. I'm working hard,

360
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 1: and the words of Bob Wiley, not our former offensive

361
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 1: line coach, but the great Bob Wiley, star of the film.

362
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 1: What about Bob, I'm baby stepping, I'm doing the work.

363
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: I'm not a slacker. Give me, give me, give me,

364
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: I need, I need, I need. That's what DK Metcalf

365
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: said to the Seattle Seahawks. And guess what they did.

366
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: Give three years? How about that transition? Three years seventy

367
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: two million dollar extension to say with the Seahawks. They're

368
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 1: paying them that because I think this year, you know,

369
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: the prospect of catching passes from Drew Lock and Geno

370
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: Smith probably not that exciting, but he's hoping in the

371
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: near future that he's gonna be catching passes, you know,

372
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: maybe from c. J. Stroud perhaps, I mean Seattle. Right now,

373
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: you're looking at Seattle Atlanta thinking they're gotta be picking

374
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 1: towards the top of the draft. Maybe that's that's what

375
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 1: they are doing. So we'll see, uh, we'll see what

376
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 1: happens there going around the league. Now as we take

377
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 1: a look at things, uh, Lamar Jackson showing signs of

378
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 1: physical improvement, throwing more velocity and tighter spirals upon completing

379
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: twelve of seventeen, according to Jamison Hensley early at Ravens

380
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: practice against air or what. I don't know. This is

381
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: your notes, I don't know, Stevie wrote him. Oh, Stevie

382
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: wrote him. Kenny Picktt, having some trouble in the early

383
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: days of practice, throws an interception on his first live

384
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: team period. Rep also through an interception to end Wednesday's practice,

385
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 1: according to Brooke Prior, and she's saying what a joy

386
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: it is for the people in Pittsburgh finally where they're

387
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: hanging on every throw in a training camp. But it

388
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: really feels like the consensus coming out of Pittsburgh right

389
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: now is that Mitch Drabinsky will be the starting quarterback

390
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 1: for the Pittsburgh Steelers and that Kenny Pickett's time will come.

391
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 1: If it comes this year, it won't be coming in

392
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: Week one, the season opener there. So it's likely when

393
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: the Steelers come to play the Browns in Week three that,

394
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: barring injury, it would be Mitch Drabinsky at the quarterback

395
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: spot there. So that's what's going on around the a

396
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 1: f C North a little bit. Haven't heard much out

397
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 1: of Cincinnatis. I think everybody's just blinded by the beauty

398
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: of those white helmets and the white unis which are

399
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: just phenomenal, and uh, the white Bengal it's it's it's

400
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: a nice look and there really is a nice looks clean.

401
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 1: It is clean when we come back as things are

402
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: hustling and bustling, people milling about as the Browns getting

403
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: ready for day three of training camp, the third day

404
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: of the four day acclamation ramp up period. Although today

405
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: we will get to see in seven on seven's we'll

406
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: get to see some live passing drills there uh no

407
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: pads obviously, that starts next Tuesday, but we'll get to

408
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: see a little offense defense and then on Saturday, uh,

409
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: we'll get the first practice in front of the fans.

410
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: That's when we'll get team periods where there is some

411
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: movement with speed on offense versus defense. So kind of

412
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: gradually building it up. Day one, walk through, Day two

413
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: on air. Day three today some team seven on seven

414
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: offense versus defense, and then day four will be team

415
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: periods where they will go offense versus defense. And then

416
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: next week it's full go, full go. Starting on Monday,

417
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: they will have you know, the shells on they'll be

418
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: going I think shells will be Saturday as well, and

419
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: then pads for the first time on Tuesday next week

420
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: here at the Cross Country Mortgage Camp. So when we

421
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 1: come back head coach Kevin Stefanski live at the podium,

422
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: we'll be taking copious notes on those questions because then

423
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 1: he's coming live to join us and we will ask

424
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: him questions that we're not asking that press conference. We

425
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: won't be redundant. And now we'll go to break on

426
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: eight fifty ESPN Cleveland. All right, we're going to the

427
00:22:49,080 --> 00:23:01,479
Speaker 1: podium now. Head coach Kevin Stefanski O. A injury update

428
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: short see is a day to day with a niche

429
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: strain UM. So we'll see how that goes over the

430
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 1: next couple of days. But I think he'll be okay,

431
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: certainly in long term um and without I'll take any

432
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: questions the kind of non contact. They didn't say that, Tony,

433
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: but yeah, you know I happened read in front of me,

434
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 1: so you're always nervous when it's no contact. But yeah,

435
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: I didn't use those terms. But certainly hopeful long term

436
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: started he'll be ready for the season. Oh yes, yeah,

437
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: day to day, Yeah, the first couple of cracks you

438
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 1: have what are you really looking for if you had

439
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: me up properly. Yeah, I think you can get a

440
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: lot done when you have shells on. When you have

441
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: helmets on, you gotta be real careful with Without the

442
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: shell on, you have to be real careful about guys

443
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: banging shoulders. So until you get their shells on, I

444
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: think you gotta be careful. But I think there's so

445
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: much you can do from a technique standpoint in terms

446
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: of proper posture, proper hand placement, those type of things.

447
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: You know, we we've spent a lot of time, believe

448
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: it or not, talking about how to do walk throughs

449
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: correctly because I think you can lighten the physical load

450
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: and and accelerate the mental load. And what we've tried

451
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 1: to do in those walkthroughs is make sure that they're organized,

452
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 1: that they're efficient, that the guys are taking their proper steps.

453
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 1: So when you're not going quote unquote live, uh, you

454
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: can really work on your alignment. You can work on

455
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: your assignment. You can still work your technique, but those

456
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,239
Speaker 1: techniques are really being driven home and their individual periods.

457
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: Karvin with David and me and three is there talk

458
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: of going out and trying to find health. Replacement of

459
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: the receiver dis points is still Yeah. No, i'd say

460
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: two early for them youngers catching. Yeah, I think they're

461
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: all doing a good job. Mary Kay, I think you

462
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: know you mentioned Michael Woods. He was out for a

463
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: good portion of the off season program, so it's good

464
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: to see him out there. Finally we got to see

465
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 1: him late in the off season program, so he's somebody

466
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: that I'm excited to see what he has over the

467
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: course season next few weeks. But I think all the

468
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: young guys are learning a lot. They're working very hard.

469
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 1: You'll see today we'll have to seven on seven periods,

470
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: so it will really be pass game um heavy in

471
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: that regard, so you'll see some competitive periods with the

472
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: offense the defense. Kevin, we've gotten to know j Okay

473
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 1: as a player. We really don't know which as a person,

474
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: how would you characterizeing or just Rob? Jeremiah is very thoughtful,

475
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: very intelligent, very enthusiastic and energetic and about his teammates,

476
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: about life, deep thinker um enjoy being around him. I

477
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: think he's obviously is a bright future in a sleep.

478
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 1: I think he's just a great person to spend your

479
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: days with. Acknowledge that maybe some of the mistakes he

480
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: made last year turned into highlights. Would you be okay

481
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: with him making him of those again as long as

482
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: you make him a hundred miles an hour, right, I

483
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: think he's done a nice job. He's a player that

484
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 1: plays at sometimes at a frenetic pace, and I think

485
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: with coach Harvard, coach bloom Woods, he that we've tried

486
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: to make him understand that you can make plays within

487
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: the framework of the defense, and every once in a a

488
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: while he'll make those extraordinary plays. Talked a lot about

489
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 1: he talked a lot about balance life and football and everything.

490
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: You know. Know Know, it's something in the four of years

491
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 1: that's something you guys didn't spend any times because Jeremiah

492
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: and I a little bit. I mean we've talked about

493
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: his trips that he takes and he's he has a

494
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: lot of interest outside of football. That doesn't mean he

495
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 1: doesn't love football. He loves football. He just loves some

496
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: other things too, and that's okay. I think we can

497
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 1: all do that. Uh. And he's with his trips to Africa,

498
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: those those are really important and then it was a

499
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: really important to who he is. So I encourage him

500
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 1: in that regards. Yes, Yeah, when we talked about Joe Woods,

501
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: he had mentioned that not the youth momentute defensive tackle,

502
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: that just kind of being part of the plan developing

503
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: some of those younger players. Just um, the reps that

504
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: they're gonna get in canample mans, what are you looking

505
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 1: from from them? And just you know how how valuable

506
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 1: is as for the organization them to really get those

507
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 1: young guys on track. Yeah, we do have a young

508
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: room there in the interior. But guys that were excited about,

509
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: you know, we talked about Jordan Elliott yesterday is a

510
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: guy that I think is going into his third years.

511
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 1: It really seems to be clicking for him, just with

512
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,919
Speaker 1: how he's handled this offseason. So there's a bunch of

513
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 1: young guys that I'm excited to get some reps. It's

514
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: all new, So they're gonna make mistakes, like we talked

515
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: about earlier, but it's about not making the same mistake

516
00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: twice to me today, When are you seeing next? Yeah,

517
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 1: you know what, it's broken record when you're talking about

518
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: donov and he makes plays when when the ball comes

519
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: his way. He's very dependable. I thought he had I

520
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: thought you can see him taking strides from his rookie

521
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,360
Speaker 1: year to his second year. I still think you see

522
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 1: those strides. I think he's works very hard on the

523
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: physical aspect of this. He's diligent about his body. Um.

524
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: And then as we all know, he's very intelligent. So

525
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: then it becomes a rapport between he and the quarterbacks,

526
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: and I think they're doing a next job in that

527
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: regard as well. Really drives about Riscumford a few times.

528
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: Um suits me like, luck, how's he doing? And yeah, yeah,

529
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 1: I don't know about the luck part, Jeff, but I

530
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: tell you he has a great attitude and unbelievable attitude.

531
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: He's somebody that when he's in the building, I mean

532
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: he lifts everybody up. So I know he's had some

533
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: injuries are disappointing to him and to us, but it's

534
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: not keeping him down. He's a he's coming back, He's

535
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: he's ready to roll. I'm just curious how you personally

536
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: feel about how long it's taking for this decision, particularly

537
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,719
Speaker 1: when you consider in the cb A that you know,

538
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: the post series leaves aren't supposed to be longer than

539
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: by changes. You know, all the I heard discussion, I

540
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: guess to degree and then also to what degree have

541
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: you thought about, you know, just the preparation of that

542
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: day when it finally does come in terms of your

543
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: conversations with the Sean and just managing it as our

544
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: head cog organization. Yeah, I think you've seen it with

545
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: of that you control the controllables, and really, as as

546
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: you know, I control work is on this field. So

547
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: I'll continue to do that, and all all my discussions

548
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: with the Shawn or any of the guys on the

549
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: team will kind of keep internal. But it's important for me,

550
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: for all of us to make sure we control we

551
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: can control. Do you think it feel warrants? You know,

552
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: just kind of like regardless of kind of selling what

553
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: you're talking about, what do you think that it Wren's

554
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: you know, just kind of extra conversation and prep for

555
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: that day in particular. Um, I'm pretty comfortable with how

556
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: we're handling that right now. At this point of your game,

557
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:26,479
Speaker 1: anything decision would you be pravacing them two different I

558
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: think the circuit of the the details would would be important,

559
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: you know, of of whatever the decision is, that details

560
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: of potential length of absence would matter the most to

561
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: us in terms of how we're putting our plan together.

562
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: Having we've heard from some of the defensive guys in

563
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: the last couple of days talking about the soul. It

564
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: sounds like those everybody, what do you know about the

565
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: other really kind of secretive about itself. Yes, well I'm

566
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: gonna be secretive as well because I don't want to

567
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: get fined by those guys. But I think what you're

568
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: trying to do actually training camps long and it is competitive,

569
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: but you're always looking for ways to motivate the guys

570
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: on a day to day basis. I think each position

571
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: group does it in their own way, and certainly Joe

572
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: with the unit is taking it into a unique place.

573
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: You mentioned seven hunt sevens today, UM, and the ramp

574
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: up is obviously different than it us. So just like

575
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: for you, how different is it? How different in the

576
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: field not being able to see guys go whatever one

577
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: on one or seven hundred. Yeah, I think it's It's

578
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: It's interesting Scott because I go back to we didn't

579
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: have preseason games, so we truly did have a ramp up, UM,

580
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: So we're trying to, within the framework of the rules,

581
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: think about the right way to do this to get

582
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: the football team ready to play and to try to

583
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: minimize injury as best you can. As we all know,

584
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: injuries can happen at a moment's notice. But what's the

585
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: safe way to ramp up to get ready to play football?

586
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: And we got a jacksonvill game that's that's coming around

587
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: the corner, so you do have to accelerate that to

588
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: a certain extent to get the team ready to play.

589
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: But trying to be real smart about how you begin

590
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: camp because we know it's a long camp. It's a

591
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: long season, got longer by a game last year. So

592
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: taking all that into account as we start to prepare

593
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: for the season, do you think it will feel different

594
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: tomorrow win fans? Finally, it always does. It's my first

595
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: training camp where it's a true posts with fans. I

596
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: think it was a little bit more muted with just

597
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: one side and that type of thing. So I'm looking

598
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: forward to that, looking forward to that energy that it brings,

599
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: because it does ramp up the energy that the players

600
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,239
Speaker 1: then happen when we've heard several players here early on

601
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: and I realized it's early in camp, but talking about

602
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: the vibe of the team, it's how different it is

603
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: from the last year. I guess from your perspective, what

604
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: if what have you noticed? And I guess how would

605
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: you define the difference in the in the vibe this year?

606
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: I think it's it's that's so hard for me to

607
00:32:52,880 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: to describe. Whoever said it, that's probably that's their opinion. Um,

608
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: I'm not real big on vibes. You haven't noticed anything.

609
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: I've noticed you guys are working, you know. The The

610
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: one thing i'd say, Darrel is I think having a

611
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: spring and I having a nine week program where the

612
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: guys were in the building physically together and taking trips together.

613
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: Like that's the type of thing that that you can

614
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: do to grow as a team that we weren't able

615
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: to previously. But in terms of vibes, I mean, it's

616
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: what's today, July twenty eight nine. There you go. I

617
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: don't know what that is ground like day. But I

618
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: don't think it's time yet to say that there's a

619
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: different Pip preseason nine year change. And I think we're

620
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: gonna have those type of discussions the next couple of weeks.

621
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: We're always having those. I don't think any there's any

622
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: hard fast rules, uh in the NFL in terms of

623
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: who plays who and how often you play so it's

624
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: really good. It's gonna be depending on this team and

625
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: what we think this team needs to get ready. So

626
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: well discussed that as it gets closer. But I would

627
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: tell you that's something that you discuss every year and

628
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: and every year stands on its own. Merit, Kevin, when

629
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: say it's he gets too early, right at it? For receiver?

630
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: How much factors? Yeah, well, I think you has heard

631
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 1: me talk about the matrich He's a very versatile football player.

632
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: He can he is a football player first and foremost. Uh,

633
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: there's an opportunity right now for him to get some

634
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 1: receiver reps. We can bounce him back into that running

635
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,919
Speaker 1: back room at any point, and really he's smart enough

636
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: where he can do both within a given practice. So

637
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: when you do have injuries at either position, he's a

638
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: bonus player who can go onto there's either room if

639
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: you will. Yeah, I think Kareem does a nice job

640
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: outside of the backfield and a lot of things that

641
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: we've done over the course of the last couple of years,

642
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: So that's definitely a role that he can play as well.

643
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: Offensive option. Yeah right, Yeah, different, i'd say a different

644
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: player with with Jachim and Joe Joe he's he's an

645
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:15,399
Speaker 1: electric player, he's fast, So certainly somebody that we would

646
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: love to use as we get in the regular season,

647
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 1: do you think their opportunities to feature of the artists

648
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 1: a little bit more? And you're talking about a guy

649
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: in the wag almost three a plus rushing guarnts last season.

650
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: How he did this kind of getting there with guys

651
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: are relent to what you gave him than they were. Yeah,

652
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,240
Speaker 1: I think you know how I feel about the Earnest.

653
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 1: I think everybody knows he's a very, very um he's

654
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 1: a great teammate number one, and then when he gets

655
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: in there, he produces. So he's definitely somebody that we

656
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: want to touch the rock because good things happen when

657
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: he does. But at the end of the day, we

658
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: have a bunch of good options in that room on

659
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 1: the offense and just in general. But the Earnest will,

660
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: as you can imagine, he will do whatever we asked

661
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: me to do. Good. Okay, thanks guys, thank you you

662
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,959
Speaker 1: wrapping things up at the podium over there, and now

663
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: he is making his way towards us. So we'll take

676
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: town for a little bit, took the family to the beach,

677
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 1: so I spent some time in the Atlantica, which was so.

678
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: I am refreshed. Jersey Shore action. I love that. So

679
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: when you're sitting here and you get to kind of

680
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: see all this, the joy that I feel like is

681
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: on so many people's faces and especially on your staff.

682
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: What does it mean to get to come back and

683
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: actually get to start this process for you guys? Yeah,

684
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: this is what we do, this is what we love

685
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: to do. And I get that unique opportunity to go

686
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: watch our coaches coach, something I love doing. I can

687
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: see right now down at the other end, there's coach Callahan.

688
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 1: You know what, his guys are working under his watchful eye,

689
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: and there's always the first ones out here. By the way,

690
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 1: that's a coincidence, that's no coincidence exactly. So he's doing

691
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 1: a great job just watching our coaches coach. And that's

692
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: where the the first day of school, when these guys

693
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: finally get back here, there's that energy level of the

694
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: excitement and then we get to teach, and that's ultimately

695
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 1: what we are. We are teachers. So watching our guys coach,

696
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: watch our guys teach is fun for me on the

697
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: loves ball scale or somebody who just is so thrilled

698
00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: to be around football. And I see him on the

699
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 1: far side, jog run, there is Jason Tarver, unmatched in

700
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: his zest for this game. Yeah. Tarvesum energy, uh and

701
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: he's it's natural energy and I appreciate it. And that

702
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:15,280
Speaker 1: energy it permeates in his group and his linebacker grew Crew.

703
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: They you hear him, they run to the ball, They're loud,

704
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 1: and that definitely comes from coach tarf Alright, last year

705
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: you created and it may even have been two years

706
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 1: ago that you created an absolute frenzy. You bust out

707
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: the equipment hoodie. It's got the running elf on it,

708
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: and that was really the only place that we saw

709
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 1: would be on that hoodie. And now as I sit

710
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 1: out here, I look look at on the goal post

711
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: right there, on the pads, on the stanchion, on the

712
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 1: official training camp sent on a lot of the wrapping here.

713
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: Is this is this your vision? I got some other

714
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 1: things I'm worried about other than the our marketing department

715
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 1: that I'm going to give credit to Brad Mellon. How

716
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: about that there? It is it's smart. We give him

717
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 1: credit for everything our equipment staff. He's the best. He

718
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: takes care of us. Uh. So that's I'm gonna give

719
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 1: Brad credit for that one. We've named an award after

720
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: him that we give out every week during the season,

721
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,760
Speaker 1: which is the Brad Melon Pursuit of Perfection Award, because

722
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 1: that's what he does. We just, you know, we aspire

723
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 1: to be there. All right, I know you do have

724
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: more important things on your mind. Let's talk about get

725
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: the fans a little peak behind the curtain. If you

726
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't mind. What's your daily schedule like during training camp

727
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 1: as the head coach of the Cleveland Breads. Yeah, so

728
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 1: starts with that cup of coffee, you know, starts with

729
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: putting the film on the weather first, first things first.

730
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, we really start at eight is our first

731
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: meetings with the rookies. So I like to get in

732
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: early and get the tape watched early. Uh, And we're

733
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 1: just getting organized. We're in the infancy of this season,

734
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: so we're an install number one currently, so we're really

735
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 1: taking our time and just so there's about seven installs,

736
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: so over the course the next four maybe fourteen days,

737
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: you'll get all those installs in. But we'll start with

738
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,720
Speaker 1: meetings and then we'll be out there on a practice

739
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 1: field for a walk through around ten forty five, break

740
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 1: for lunch, more meetings whereas Brett Farve called and when

741
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,399
Speaker 1: I was with Brett beatings, and then we're back out

742
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: here about and then beautiful day that that was ordered here,

743
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: um clouds and I mean this is like perfect weather.

744
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 1: So the guys are loving that. And then once we're

745
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: done here, we're back in there. Then you watch the tape,

746
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: you eat, you meet again. They're done. So the rhythm

747
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 1: to how we operate typically is we meet on whatever

748
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,760
Speaker 1: the install is, we walk it through, and then we practice,

749
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: and then the evening time is for the corrections that

750
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: always occur, and then you want to apply those and

751
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: carry those four the next day. So that's something that

752
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 1: you're looking at in this phase. You're expecting there to

753
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 1: be some mistakes. I know how happy you were with

754
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,240
Speaker 1: the way that people came back not only in condition

755
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: but in their playbook, which would minimize those. But then

756
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 1: what you want to see is it's okay to make

757
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: a mistake. I don't want to see it twice. Yeah,

758
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 1: And that's where you know, I really go back to

759
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: that offseason program. It was we covered so much ground,

760
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 1: meaning we we covered so much football, and we made

761
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 1: those mistakes and then we fixed them. And now when

762
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: you're in that meeting this morning and you're showing the tape,

763
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 1: you're like, hey, remember you made this mistake back in May.

764
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 1: You're not gonna make it here in July and August.

765
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: So there's the benefit of a offseason program where you

766
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,879
Speaker 1: can cover ground, you can get all your installs into

767
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,839
Speaker 1: that when you get here, you can accelerate the pace

768
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:22,760
Speaker 1: of your installs and you can then start to pivot.

769
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 1: You can add some things that maybe you wanted to

770
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: tweak from from the spring. All right, so you said

771
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: the rhythm is, they're gonna have this practice today and

772
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 1: then you're all gonna go watch the tape, maybe separate together,

773
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:34,799
Speaker 1: talk about it, get the guys back in the meeting rooms,

774
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:36,439
Speaker 1: go through that so that they're ready for the next

775
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 1: day when you have today the first competitive periods of

776
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: this training camp, you have some seven on sevens. You

777
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,240
Speaker 1: talked about that in your pressor What are you looking

778
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: for in a seven on seven because you're not don't

779
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: worry about the line now, So are you looking at

780
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: the way the routes are running, if the ball is going,

781
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: where the coverage dictated. What are you looking for when

782
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: you watch that back offensively and then flip it to

783
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 1: the other side defensively. Yeah, So seven on seven, like

784
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 1: you mentioned, the offensive lines not in there. The offensive

785
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:03,280
Speaker 1: lines not in there, so it's not real football. The

786
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 1: quarterbacks not feeling the rush. It's waded towards the offense.

787
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:09,359
Speaker 1: That when you go out of a let's see, if

788
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 1: twenty plays in a seven on seven, you better complete

789
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: sixteen seventeen of those because there's there's no rush. Now

790
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 1: with the quarterback, you don't let him sit back there

791
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 1: all day. You make sure that he's if it's five

792
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: steps and a hitch, the ball better be out. He

793
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: has to get to his check down those type of things.

794
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 1: But with seven on seven, you're looking for communication on

795
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,800
Speaker 1: the back end. On defense, you're looking for proper alignment

796
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 1: and spacing from the offense. And then when the balls

797
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 1: in the air, we're trying to take care of each other.

798
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 1: So it's not gonna be You're not gonna see any

799
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: bang bang big plays and guys not get out of

800
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 1: the ball. So seven on seven is really it's a

801
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: precision piece for the offense. Then for the defense, it's

802
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: more of a route recognition, pattern recognition, communication drill. How

803
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 1: much of it in your evaluation of giving that you said, look,

804
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: we should be hitting at completion. How much of it

805
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 1: is in the result of the play as much as

806
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 1: the process and the decision by the quarterback when you're

807
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,280
Speaker 1: evaluating that position in the seven on seven. Yeah, absolutely,

808
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: And I've been around on some real good quarterbacks and

809
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 1: that seven on seven drill where it's just it's they're

810
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: just reacting, they're not thinking, and that they see the coverage,

811
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 1: that they can see the people moving in front of

812
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:13,800
Speaker 1: them and decisions. You can watch almost their their process

813
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 1: occurring in real time and it happens fast and then

814
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 1: so you're watching the process and then you're you're really

815
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: grading the accuracy of the throw. And that's where you

816
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: try to maybe push yourself. I'm gonna try and fit

817
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 1: it in this type window, just to test. Can I

818
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 1: fit in that type window? Can I be so precise?

819
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw this to his outside shoulders so that

820
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: the defender can't get his hand on it. With Deshaun,

821
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: what have you seen in that regard to know, we're

822
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 1: just getting started. But he got a little bit of

823
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 1: time in mini camping in the O T A S.

824
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 1: And he's a guy who last time that he played

825
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: in the league obviously leve the league in completion percentage.

826
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 1: Is incredibly accurate. And just watching him yesterday and I

827
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 1: know it was on air and I kept saying that

828
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: on the radio, it just looks pretty. The ball is

829
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 1: very it's a pretty ball in the air and it

830
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: looks very effortless. Yeah, Deshan's a talented thrower. Like you mentioned,

831
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: it is an effortless motion. The ball comes out with

832
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: with good pace, good velocity, and it's a catchable ball.

833
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 1: Throws it throws a type ball. You know, he's done

834
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: every job since he got here in April in throwing,

835
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: just throwing himself into the offense, throwing, throwing, getting himself

836
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: in the book, understanding the techniques, understanding all the reads.

837
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:15,319
Speaker 1: So he's he's a very very diligent worker, and I

838
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 1: think you should that shows up in practice. I think

839
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 1: you see him making proper decisions and then delivering accurate footballs.

840
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 1: When you have a veteran like Jacoby Brissett that you

841
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 1: guys obviously wanted to get, that was the target. You

842
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:27,320
Speaker 1: brought him in here to be the backup quarterback for

843
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns. What have you seen from him in

844
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: terms of his process? The guy who's been in many

845
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 1: different offenses, obviously with a few different teams here in

846
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 1: the league. You have real impressed by Jacoby. You know,

847
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: you do your work on a guy. When you identify

848
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: someone that you may go out and get. You you

849
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 1: watch the tape, you make some phone calls, so you

850
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,479
Speaker 1: feel like you have a pretty good picture of the person. Uh,

851
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 1: and I think all of that was accurate, and I'm

852
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 1: even more impressed having been around him. I just think

853
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,240
Speaker 1: he's a rock solide person. I love how he prepares,

854
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 1: I love how he thinks about football. Uh. He was

855
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 1: raised right in this league. He's been in some really

856
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 1: good offenses with really smart coaches and team mates. Uh.

857
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: You know Tom Brady, Philip Rivers, to name a couple.

858
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 1: So the guys seeing a lot of football even though

859
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 1: he's a young man. Uh. And then I just appreciate

860
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,320
Speaker 1: how what he brings that meeting room. Yeah, Walter Payton

861
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 1: Man of the Year nominee for the Colts, and not

862
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 1: only that, a great jumper. Did you know that was

863
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: a part of the package. Well I didn't. I found

00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: You just heard from the head coach of your Cleveland

885
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: Browns and the play caller for your offense. Now let's

886
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,760
Speaker 1: hear from the defensive coordinator Joe Woods at the podium

887
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 1: earlier today. So for us, this really came down that

888
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 1: situations for a football um. There was a lot of

889
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 1: areas that we made improvement from one um, but we

890
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: have to get better on third down, red zone area,

891
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:52,359
Speaker 1: you know, things of that nature. Jo brand you about

892
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: her movies Como last year. He's no good player, you know,

893
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 1: He's just he's very very athletic, very explosive. When he

894
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 1: puts his foot in the ground, he can go up

895
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 1: a point A to B right now. Um. So his

896
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 1: ability to match up and coverage, his ability to make

897
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: plays uh in space is unique. Was there anything that

898
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 1: you did un ready for No. You as as a

899
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 1: young guy, you know, as a rookie coming to live

900
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: you have to learn how the games being playing. You know,

901
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 1: college is a little bit different in terms of what

902
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 1: they see. For him, his first year was really how

903
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 1: was he gonna play in the box? I went back

904
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 1: and watched every single play when he's a Notre dame,

905
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: and he was really playing on the edge like a

906
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:34,840
Speaker 1: nickel or excuse me, he was playing out in the

907
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 1: slot like a nickel. Or he was blitzing off the edge.

908
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 1: So all the stuff in terms of playing in the

909
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 1: box was new for him, and I thought he handled

910
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 1: it pretty good. Absolutely. We talk about our linebackers. We

911
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 1: want we want them to look like the animals they hunt.

912
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,720
Speaker 1: So we want our linebackers to reasonable running backs because

913
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 1: those are the guys the answered the family from running

914
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 1: and see that. Well, you know, he's kind of a

915
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 1: sea ball get ball type of guy. But you have

916
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 1: to go through your key progressio. We want the fast trigger,

917
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: you know, in terms of executing your run gaps and

918
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 1: your responsibilities, but you have to be patient and make

919
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 1: sure your key takes you there. So he just got

920
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,239
Speaker 1: ahead of himself a little bit play fast, but that

921
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 1: just comes with experience you had that you would have

922
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:24,800
Speaker 1: more for him this year that as a rugie. So

923
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:29,839
Speaker 1: what what aren't coming to those additional things you have? Yeah, well,

924
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 1: you always want to activate your playmakers, but at the

925
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 1: same time, it's you have to make sure you're doing

926
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 1: the right thing for the entire defense. So we'll always

927
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 1: have ways, uh to blitz them, ways to put them

928
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 1: in certain positions in coverage. We'll do a little bit

929
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 1: more of that this year. Um, that's just natural for

930
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 1: any rookie going into a second year, but we definitely

931
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 1: want to take advantage of his talents. Yesterday Alpha a secret, no, no,

932
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: it's I won't get into all the details, but basically,

933
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: we tried to make our practices like games. So we

934
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 1: try to chart all the information and then we keep

935
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:10,799
Speaker 1: track of the guys leading each categories, teams lending each categories,

936
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 1: and then there may be a reward if the end

937
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:19,360
Speaker 1: maybe four teams. Did we have a little cabinet that

938
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 1: vised it up. We just try to balance off the teams. Um. Yeah,

939
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 1: but we're definitely gonna get into alpha dog here in

940
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 1: a couple of days. Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure you expected

941
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 1: to the couple your left off. What why would it

942
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 1: you did? Right? No? Um, I think when you can

943
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 1: bring back the same staff and when you can bring

944
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 1: back a majority of players, do you feel like you

945
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:53,760
Speaker 1: can do more defensively because the guys understand the system

946
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:56,800
Speaker 1: and I put more on the guys in the off season,

947
00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 1: put more on them right now in training camp. This

948
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 1: in terms of the amount of defenses that were installing,

949
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 1: and you just feel like with those guys understanding that,

950
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 1: now we can get to another level of what we

951
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,800
Speaker 1: can do defensively. So just bringing guys back, it's just

952
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:12,759
Speaker 1: continuity and everybody understanding the scheme and the techniques that

953
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 1: we're asking. When you play, I couldn't answer. Yeah, I

954
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 1: pay no attention to that, to be honest with you.

955
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 1: Everybody talk a lot about your guy in your playing

956
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:28,320
Speaker 1: even faster. Yes, so you didn't hear one j was

957
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 1: so fascist. He's still having other level that he can

958
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 1: get to. That way, well, I mean I think his

959
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:34,759
Speaker 1: level is pretty good. Where is that. I think him

960
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 1: is just more understanding his responsibilities and again let his

961
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 1: keys take him to where he spoke to though, um

962
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:43,399
Speaker 1: and I think he'll be more consistent that way this year.

963
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:45,360
Speaker 1: But you're still going to see this the speed and

964
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:51,759
Speaker 1: the quickens better since last year. Jordan, Yeah, Um, I

965
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 1: think he should changed his body. He came and I

966
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 1: was actually when he came in and UH for training camp,

967
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 1: he reported. I saw him like, man, you're looking good?

968
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: How much you way? I think he's the three twenties somewhere,

969
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 1: but he looks like he weighs two eighties. And that's

970
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 1: the way you want the big guys that looks, you know,

971
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:07,720
Speaker 1: big athletes. And I think for him it's this confidence.

972
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 1: He's been in the system going until his third year.

973
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:12,399
Speaker 1: UH coach Tiffin has done a great job teaching him.

974
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 1: But now he knows the expectations what's gonna be asked

975
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:16,800
Speaker 1: of him, and we definitely need them step up for

976
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:20,840
Speaker 1: us this year. So I got another chu. Yeah, he

977
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:25,359
Speaker 1: kept addinking adding because he's played last year he handled it. Yeah,

978
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 1: how rare is that for a first year guy? Now,

979
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 1: I just I mean some guys, well, the guys are

980
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:32,360
Speaker 1: on the field are normally the guys that can handle it.

981
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:34,920
Speaker 1: You know when you get rookie and you you have

982
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 1: to be careful because I mean, you guys see the

983
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:39,719
Speaker 1: ability has so you're sitting there in the grease board

984
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:41,719
Speaker 1: drawing off type of things up. But at the same

985
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 1: time they have to be able to handle it. And

986
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 1: we slowly added things to his plate along with the

987
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 1: rest of the defense, and I felt like he did

988
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,319
Speaker 1: a good job yesterday. John Johnson said the safety look,

989
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 1: he still feels like you work guys, friend, Ryan back, Yeah,

990
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 1: two parts looking back last year, just get to where

991
00:51:57,719 --> 00:51:59,759
Speaker 1: you wanted it to and then you don't same extra day. Yeah,

992
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 1: she's politics. Um yeah, you know the three safety packages,

993
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:06,839
Speaker 1: uh is good for us. And there's there's some other

994
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 1: things we want to do this year. But I always

995
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:12,320
Speaker 1: feel like defensively, I want to dictate the matchups, not

996
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:14,400
Speaker 1: what the offense is doing. So when you can go

997
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 1: three safeties, you can put more corners on it. We

998
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:20,279
Speaker 1: have all types of packages, but we'll slowly introduce it

999
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 1: so that way we feel like we have more control

1000
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:26,719
Speaker 1: of what we're doing. Defenses, mention turnovers out that that

1001
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 1: really an emphasient this training. Absolutely, I mean that's what

1002
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 1: we live and breathe, that's in our DNA because we

1003
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 1: want to take away to football. Um, we haven't done

1004
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 1: as good a job the previous two years and if

1005
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 1: we were writing, you know, nineteen twenties in the NFL,

1006
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:41,360
Speaker 1: we greatly have to improve that because that's one of

1007
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 1: the major categories. Have to know, if not the most

1008
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 1: important category when it come to win the games. Come

1009
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:52,359
Speaker 1: two lines that uh we're based when we go to base, uh,

1010
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 1: base personnel against the offenses, and our base defenses three

1011
00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:59,880
Speaker 1: free linebackers and then when we go to nickel then

1012
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 1: will have two linebackers, will bring another dB in and

1013
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:04,600
Speaker 1: then if you go dime, then always have one line

1014
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 1: back from the field. But I said, you have all

1015
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 1: the you know, you have Ronnie, you have Jacob sny

1016
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:12,880
Speaker 1: jail K. So you can create a lot of different

1017
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 1: things out there, talk about add anything because it's not

1018
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 1: a point where you don't want to think you've got

1019
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 1: too complicated. Yeah, how do you know that point it. Yeah,

1020
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,399
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of what I've been trying to say,

1021
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 1: is there's a lot of things we can do defensively,

1022
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 1: but you have to be able to practice it and

1023
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:35,320
Speaker 1: you have to be able to execute it, you know,

1024
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 1: on game day. So when you get to the point

1025
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 1: where you feel like guys aren't executing um making too

1026
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 1: many mistakes, then that's where you have to really look

1027
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:44,879
Speaker 1: at the menu and and maybe at the full back

1028
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:52,239
Speaker 1: a little bit. We're training everybody. Yeah, so we have

1029
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:54,880
Speaker 1: seven guys we're training right now, you know, And that's

1030
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 1: what we do with all the guys. We always trying

1031
00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 1: to train everybody that has that type of skill set

1032
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:03,320
Speaker 1: to play the nickel position. So throughout training camp, throughout

1033
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:05,880
Speaker 1: the preseason, there's gonna be multiple guys playing playing the

1034
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:10,920
Speaker 1: nickel position and to see how it sorts of no, no,

1035
00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 1: but they haven't maybe they weren't asked to play uh

1036
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 1: nickel in college. So we trained them all and see

1037
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:21,280
Speaker 1: who can who can do it? Seems the nickel absolutely

1038
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:24,720
Speaker 1: every way, the more you can do, the better. Another

1039
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:27,360
Speaker 1: one of those guys are entering the secondaries. Ramp U

1040
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 1: j J. Were gonna say, and yesterday he painted the

1041
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 1: rank can be one of the better ones in the game.

1042
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 1: Just what are you what did you see from him

1043
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:38,359
Speaker 1: last year and what are your expectations for him? Um?

1044
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 1: I think for Grant, he was coming off that injury,

1045
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 1: so I think early on in the season he was

1046
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:46,839
Speaker 1: kind of feeling his way, like am I really back?

1047
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 1: And you can see I remember just watching the whole

1048
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 1: season and just watching him, just tracking him, and the

1049
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:53,399
Speaker 1: way through the season you can see him get better

1050
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 1: and you can see the confidence I think with him,

1051
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:59,439
Speaker 1: he really sees the field well. You don't ever see

1052
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:02,000
Speaker 1: him really way some steps, and I think the instincts

1053
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 1: really play a big part of it for him. And

1054
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 1: then you have all the size and length and ability

1055
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:09,360
Speaker 1: has you know. So he got better last year and

1056
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:10,800
Speaker 1: we look for him to have a good year for

1057
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 1: us this year as well as yours. Yes, yeah, seems

1058
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:19,399
Speaker 1: like that's something you're going to do. This your somepody coming.

1059
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 1: He wants to do that part of it, that pality

1060
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 1: that kind of want to the more you can do,

1061
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 1: the better. You know. It gives us flexibility on defense,

1062
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 1: and that he likes it in there. You know. The

1063
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:31,239
Speaker 1: nickel position is is a good position. Because you can

1064
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:33,320
Speaker 1: get away with a lot of things. Um, you know,

1065
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 1: you're folks on the ball. We've let you um and

1066
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 1: he's picked it up and he's doing really well. So

1067
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:44,279
Speaker 1: where position and thanking me more not? I mean, I

1068
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:46,840
Speaker 1: think we're the position where we're trying to develop young players,

1069
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,880
Speaker 1: you know, along with some free agents and at certain times,

1070
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:53,319
Speaker 1: you know, uh, within the team, you're gonna have those

1071
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 1: moments where you're developing young guys at the position. So

1072
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:58,440
Speaker 1: for us this year, we have some youth at the

1073
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 1: defensive tackle position, but they're talented so along the way,

1074
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 1: they're probably gonna make some mistakes, you know, as they're

1075
00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:06,640
Speaker 1: growing into the position and learned it. But I think

1076
00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 1: that's it the process we're gonna have to go through

1077
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 1: this year. All right. That's Brown's defensive coordinator Joe Woods,

1078
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:14,040
Speaker 1: and I can tell you this defense is very excited

1079
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:16,800
Speaker 1: about what it can be. The continuity that he mentioned.

1080
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 1: You're starting defensive ends are back. Yes, there's some new

1081
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 1: guys in the middle, but your top four linebackers from

1082
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 1: a year ago are all back. Four of your three

1083
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 1: i'm sorry, four of your top five corners from a

1084
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 1: year ago or back your top three safeties are all back,

1085
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 1: so that continuity and the coaching staff returns intact on

1086
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the football. When we come back,

1087
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:36,759

1113
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 1: and that was perfect for me because I don't want

1114
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:07,280
Speaker 1: to lose any weight. So that's one of the things

1115
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 1: people probably don't understand. Everybody else in the world is

1116

1122
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:27,240
Speaker 1: fresh food. And tried to make sure I stayed on

1123
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 1: top of it while I was there. What was your

1124
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 1: favorite city that you visited? Oh? Man, uh, I think

1125
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,760
Speaker 1: I think Melos the Island was the best. That was

1126
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:39,880
Speaker 1: the best Island we visited because it was just it

1127
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 1: was just naturally so beautiful, like it was just a

1128
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 1: good spot to be. Now you're back in the natural

1129
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 1: beauties of Cleveland. We're looking out at the field right

1130
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 1: now as we do this interview. And so one of

1131
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 1: the things that that I think is is interesting and

1132
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna educate me and I think a lot of

1133
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 1: our listeners here. So I get Next Tuesday, the pads

1134
00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 1: come on you as an offensive. I mean, you guys

1135
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:01,240
Speaker 1: get to kind of play football again in the O

1136
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:02,880
Speaker 1: t A s in the mini camp when there aren't

1137
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:05,000
Speaker 1: pads and all of that. What's the most important thing

1138
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 1: that you can gain from that period, I think it's, um, one,

1139
00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 1: the meetings of just learning the playbook and learning the

1140
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 1: schemes and learning um, you know, just our calls and

1141
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 1: everything UM. And then two, UM just running through the

1142
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:24,840
Speaker 1: techniques and the details in Indie because you know, we

1143
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:27,480
Speaker 1: are coach is so proactive and uh, you know how

1144
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:29,640
Speaker 1: how detailed we play the game. And you know, just

1145
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:31,880
Speaker 1: because we can't you know, thud up against the dealon

1146
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:35,120
Speaker 1: doesn't mean we can't refine the techniques UM in Indie.

1147
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 1: So I mean, I think those two are the most important.

1148
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:39,680
Speaker 1: How exide are you though, to actually get to that

1149
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:42,960
Speaker 1: up and actually see those techniques applied against an opponent

1150
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 1: who's trying to stop you. It's I mean that's why

1151
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 1: we play, right, I mean, we played we played it,

1152
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:50,880
Speaker 1: we played it hit somebody, So definitely it's it's exciting,

1153
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 1: but you gotta go through those those steps and you know,

1154
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:56,280
Speaker 1: refine your techniques and learn to playbooks before you can

1155
00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:58,680
Speaker 1: get to that so you can play fast and play confident.

1156
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 1: You mentioned that you're coaches a stickler for detail and

1157
01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 1: for the the I would say the intensity of the

1158
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:07,080
Speaker 1: reps because as we look over here to our right,

1159
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 1: there's one pure portion of this entire field that had

1160
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:12,920
Speaker 1: to be redone and resided and it is where the

1161
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 1: offensive linemen we're doing their drills. So is that like,

1162
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 1: is at a point of prom Sure, Coach Gallan and

1163
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:19,840
Speaker 1: Coach Peterson, that's a point of pride. But I mean

1164
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:21,720
Speaker 1: it's hard to miss that that's where you guys were

1165
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 1: and that's the place that got absolutely torn up. Right, No,

1166
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:27,480
Speaker 1: it definitely it helps with all the all the different

1167
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:29,720
Speaker 1: toys and stuff they pull out for us to uh,

1168
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:32,520
Speaker 1: you know, play with in practice, so you know it helps,

1169
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 1: it helps the slay it slide a little bit better.

1170
01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:36,160
Speaker 1: And we got all a bunch of stuff over there

1171
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 1: that we're constantly doing and constantly refining. And you know

1172
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 1: then and then, like you said that they're both, they're

1173
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:44,200
Speaker 1: both detail or like not just Calahan, but you know

1174
01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:47,400
Speaker 1: coach Peters is very detail oriented coach. So you know

1175
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:50,040
Speaker 1: it's that that one patch of grasses for all that

1176
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 1: stuff over there, where are you at and and keeping

1177
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:56,680
Speaker 1: your thumb placement where Coach Peters wants it. It's it's

1178
01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:59,120
Speaker 1: never good enough. You always you always gotta refine it,

1179
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 1: always gotta find it. So what people might not understand

1180
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 1: is you're going into your first year looking to start.

1181
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:06,600
Speaker 1: You got that start obviously against Green Bay and performed

1182
01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 1: very very well on Christmas Day, but that you have

1183
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:12,960
Speaker 1: done in training camp basically been the starting center. This

1184
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 1: is what three years in a row because j C

1185
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 1: was always on a pitch account. How much did that

1186
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 1: experience helped prepare you for what's going on now? I

1187
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:25,560
Speaker 1: credit like my confidence of of plan now to that,

1188
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:28,560
Speaker 1: because you know, you get used to playing between Wide

1189
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:31,800
Speaker 1: and and Joel Um and even with Jack and Jed

1190
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 1: you get used to playing with those guys in practice,

1191
01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 1: and um, I mean our practice reps. I mean we go,

1192
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 1: we go pretty hard and practice so you know, it's

1193
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:41,400
Speaker 1: the closest thing to the game, and and getting those

1194
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:44,480
Speaker 1: reps it helps you, you know, play faster, play more confident,

1195
01:01:44,560 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 1: helps you get the visual cues you need as a

1196
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:49,520
Speaker 1: center to see things before you go on the game field.

1197
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:51,880
Speaker 1: Um so, I mean yeah, I mean I played a

1198
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:54,480
Speaker 1: huge part for sure. Are you excited that when you

1199
01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:56,440
Speaker 1: guys do get the pads on on Tuesday that the

1200
01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 1: guys across from you some new flavors, Right? You got

1201
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:01,640
Speaker 1: Jordan led who you've gone against, and obviously Tommy was

1202
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:03,440
Speaker 1: here last year, but for the most part in Sheldon,

1203
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:05,960
Speaker 1: there's some new faces as well to kind of try

1204
01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 1: your techniques out and see things that maybe you haven't

1205
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:11,080
Speaker 1: seen before other than watching them on taper, maybe even

1206
01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:13,800
Speaker 1: in the preseason. Definitely, definitely, I mean we got an

1207
01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 1: assortment of of of talent over there and they all

1208
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 1: have different styles of place, so, um, it would definitely

1209
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:21,000
Speaker 1: it would definitely be a good a good test for

1210
01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:23,360
Speaker 1: us in camping being able to go against that tom

1211
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 1: because you know when you're going through NFL season, you

1212
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:28,320
Speaker 1: see a whole bunch of different types of players and

1213
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:31,360
Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, it really lies

1214
01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:33,520
Speaker 1: on us and our our technique and just staying true

1215
01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:35,600
Speaker 1: to how we play. And you know, it's all fall

1216
01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:38,960
Speaker 1: into place from there. When you as a center, or

1217
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 1: let's say we're in a third and long and obviously

1218
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:43,400
Speaker 1: obvious passing situation, you're going against our defense, and all

1219
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:46,280
Speaker 1: of a sudden, here comes three maybe even four defense

1220
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:48,080
Speaker 1: eve ents. Because they can kick a miles inside, they

1221
01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:50,120
Speaker 1: can kick a cloudy inside. Alex right has sizes, they

1222
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:52,680
Speaker 1: can kick him inside. How does that change thing? And

1223
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:54,840
Speaker 1: what's the biggest difference when you're blocking a guy that

1224
01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:58,560
Speaker 1: is a pass rusher from the edge and now he's inside. Yeah,

1225
01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 1: I mean it starts in a meeting room. You you

1226
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 1: learn those guys while while coaches going over, Um, how

1227
01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:06,200
Speaker 1: they rushed tackles. You see how they play UM. And

1228
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:09,360
Speaker 1: then when they kick inside, obviously the space is confined. UM,

1229
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:11,520
Speaker 1: so everything happens a little bit faster. So your technique

1230
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 1: has to be uh, it has to move one step ahead,

1231
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:17,880
Speaker 1: UM in like speed speed wise UM, just because the

1232
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:21,440
Speaker 1: quarters are so close. UM. But like I said, It

1233
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:24,000
Speaker 1: comes back just to you know, trusting our our technique,

1234
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:27,160
Speaker 1: just being confident in what we do. UM, and then

1235
01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:29,560
Speaker 1: that's you know the usually but that they create great

1236
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:31,400
Speaker 1: matchups for teams. So I'm excited to see them go

1237
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:34,080
Speaker 1: against other teams turning to season with that with that talent,

1238
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:37,080
Speaker 1: but definitely helps us in camp right certainly, hopefully not

1239
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 1: you're a problem after after we get to the regular season.

1240
01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:42,840
Speaker 1: There when you think about this offense in the center,

1241
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:45,880
Speaker 1: they say, the quarterback of the offensive line, how are

1242
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:48,480
Speaker 1: things evolving? Without giving away the secrets, ll will save

1243
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 1: those for Caroline in week number one, but just how

1244
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:52,920
Speaker 1: do you see things evolving in this offense and and

1245
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:56,200
Speaker 1: the role of the offensive line in that evolution. Yeah,

1246
01:03:56,280 --> 01:04:00,520
Speaker 1: I mean I think I think the we're all these

1247
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:02,080
Speaker 1: reps that we got no T A s. And then

1248
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 1: just the reps that we're getting obviously and beginning a

1249
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:06,760
Speaker 1: training camp, you know, they're they're helping, they help a lot,

1250
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:08,880
Speaker 1: just the cohesion of the whole group. We have a

1251
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 1: lot of new faces as everybody knows, UM, just getting

1252
01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:15,320
Speaker 1: those reps all together play a huge, a huge part.

1253
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:17,520
Speaker 1: And it just as for the offensive line just us

1254
01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:19,400
Speaker 1: you know, we have a good group of guys in

1255
01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:21,040
Speaker 1: there that are just they just want to work. I

1256
01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:23,800
Speaker 1: think um from from the you know, the whole the

1257
01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:26,200
Speaker 1: whole group just they constantly just want to you know,

1258
01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:28,720
Speaker 1: get get learned new new techniques and be on the

1259
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:31,440
Speaker 1: field and you know, practice. So if you have a

1260
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:33,160
Speaker 1: lot of if a group of workers like that, a

1261
01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:35,800
Speaker 1: group of connected workers like that, man, it's the disguise

1262
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:38,400
Speaker 1: of limits. So it's been it's been promising, alright. Three

1263
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:40,840
Speaker 1: kind of fun ones in the offensive line room. Who

1264
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:43,440
Speaker 1: in the offensive line room? Would you never want to

1265
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:45,320
Speaker 1: meet one on one in the street fight? And not

1266
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:48,440
Speaker 1: necessarily you because I know you're gonna have supreme confidence

1267
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 1: in your abilities. But I'm talking just like in general,

1268
01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:53,600
Speaker 1: like if you're saying, okay, I or let me rephrase it,

1269
01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:55,640
Speaker 1: you have to bring one guy in the offensive line

1270
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:58,640
Speaker 1: with you into a two on two situations. Who are

1271
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:03,520
Speaker 1: you saying you're my wing? Why? For sure? Why? Yeah? Yeah? No,

1272
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:07,040
Speaker 1: he's crazy. He carried an alligator around. He's crazy. He's

1273
01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:09,000
Speaker 1: a he's a wild card. So that's that's perfect for

1274
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:11,000
Speaker 1: if he's on your side, because he's you don't know

1275
01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:15,080
Speaker 1: he's about to do sure exactly right, you're exactly who

1276
01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:16,960
Speaker 1: is the biggest eater? If you guys are gonna have

1277
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:18,919
Speaker 1: an eating contest, who would put down the most food?

1278
01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:24,000
Speaker 1: Jedrick Wills easily. Man, that boy eats all day every day.

1279
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:28,640
Speaker 1: He's constantly eating, all right. And then who's the funniest

1280
01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:33,160
Speaker 1: guy in the room. Oh, man, that's a tough one.

1281
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:35,760
Speaker 1: That's the tough We got some funny guys in there though,

1282
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:37,680
Speaker 1: But I would say that the guy that makes me

1283
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 1: consistently laugh is David Moore. Man, he's a he's a

1284
01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:43,560
Speaker 1: he's a funny dude. He's a he's a really funny guy.

1285
01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:45,320
Speaker 1: What's so funny about him? For our friends it may

1286
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:47,240
Speaker 1: not be familiar. What does he bring to the Table's

1287
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:49,880
Speaker 1: he's just witty. He's just he always has like something

1288
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:52,080
Speaker 1: something quick off the top of his head to say,

1289
01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:55,240
Speaker 1: and just in just funny situations. Um man, he's always

1290
01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:57,720
Speaker 1: just smiling and messing around everybody. So, yeah, he's a

1291
01:05:57,760 --> 01:05:59,360
Speaker 1: he's a really good dude to have in that room

1292
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:01,800
Speaker 1: because he lines it up when things get real intense

1293
01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:04,000
Speaker 1: and stuff, all right. And then the last one saying

1294
01:06:04,040 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 1: in this kind of this fun theme here, it's Scott

1295
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 1: Peters still the most jack strong guy in the offensive

1296
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:14,000
Speaker 1: line room, even though he's not even active. Absolutely, absolutely, guy,

1297
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 1: It's crazy. It's not even a question man, that man

1298
01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:19,160
Speaker 1: that Honestly, if we were to pick coaches, I would

1299
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:22,760
Speaker 1: pick him in the fight question. But obviously we picked

1300
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:25,600
Speaker 1: we're picking players, but we're picking coaches. I'm picking coach Peters.

1301
01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 1: He'll be like your Bobby, the brain here and the manager.

1302
01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:29,480
Speaker 1: But then he'll get involved and help you put you

1303
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:31,840
Speaker 1: guys over the top. Oh yeah, for sure, for sure.

1304
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:34,760
Speaker 1: All right, I've noticed as I'm sitting here talking to something,

1305
01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:37,360
Speaker 1: I haven't not for a diamond in your tooth. I

1306
01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:39,040
Speaker 1: don't know that I've ever seen such a thing that

1307
01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:41,960
Speaker 1: cares give us the story behind the diamond in your

1308
01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 1: in your right incisor if i'm I didn't go to

1309
01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:45,480
Speaker 1: dental school, but I think I have that right. It

1310
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:48,720
Speaker 1: was just a little impulse, impulse decision I did back home.

1311
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 1: That's it. That's what do the fellas think of it?

1312

Speaker 1: of course you can follow on Twitter at Omar d Ruise. Ohmark,

1364
01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:15,519
Speaker 1: Great to see you, man, Great to see you, Nathan.

1365
01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:18,280
Speaker 1: It's great to be out in person. And I gotta

1366
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:20,799
Speaker 1: tell you, Cleveland the last few days has just dialed

1367
01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:24,280
Speaker 1: it up from a chamber of commerce standpoint. Here in Bourrier.

1368
01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:28,240
Speaker 1: You got the picture perfect cotton candy clouds with the

1369
01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:31,479
Speaker 1: blue sky football on the field, the perfect green grass.

1370
01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:34,040
Speaker 1: Let us go, Let's go. We gotta roll out a

1371
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:36,280
Speaker 1: little bit, you know, California. Look, maybe a little of

1372
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:38,599
Speaker 1: that for you, roll out the red carpet for you here.

1373
01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:41,559
Speaker 1: So what's it been like being here, being around this team?

1374
01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:43,320
Speaker 1: And we'll start with the elephant in the room. Obviously

1375
01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:47,400
Speaker 1: there is uncertainty as to the availability of quarterback to

1376
01:09:47,439 --> 01:09:51,479
Speaker 1: Shaun Watson to start this football season, but it feels

1377
01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:55,080
Speaker 1: to me anyway like they're operating business as usual. Do

1378
01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:58,080
Speaker 1: you feel that way? I do, And I've been in places,

1379
01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:03,760
Speaker 1: been in buildings where troversial things, pending outcomes have had

1380
01:10:04,360 --> 01:10:07,679
Speaker 1: a dark cloud over the entire organization, and it doesn't

1381
01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:10,760
Speaker 1: feel that way here. I think the way Stefanski has

1382
01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:14,240
Speaker 1: set everything up is that when they do find out

1383
01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:17,160
Speaker 1: how many games they might be without Deshaun Watson, for

1384
01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:19,840
Speaker 1: it'll be like an injury. And they're just operating that

1385
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:23,280
Speaker 1: way kind of an underlying sense that I'm getting here.

1386
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:26,320
Speaker 1: There's a quiet confidence and Nathan, you know, I've been

1387
01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:29,400
Speaker 1: here over the years, different regime changes, different reasons for

1388
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:33,960
Speaker 1: hope and optimism and everything else, with new personnel and

1389
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:36,879
Speaker 1: all that, And I think this would be a similar

1390
01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:41,800
Speaker 1: story again if there wasn't the looming suspension waiting to

1391
01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:44,839
Speaker 1: happen with Deshaun and Amari and the new look offense.

1392
01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:48,120
Speaker 1: But what I'd say about that is that's forced a

1393
01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:52,240
Speaker 1: little tempered enthusiasm because if if it wasn't for that,

1394
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:56,080
Speaker 1: this would be a team that has the talent to

1395
01:10:56,160 --> 01:10:59,040
Speaker 1: talk about a Super Bowl run and all the expectations

1396
01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:01,479
Speaker 1: again that the Brown have turned it around. The foundation

1397
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:05,639
Speaker 1: has been laid and here we go Arizona February three.

1398
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:08,719
Speaker 1: But because we're waiting for the suspension that hasn't happened,

1399
01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:11,640
Speaker 1: so perhaps they'll fly under the radar a little bit.

1400
01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:14,680
Speaker 1: They'll they'll We've talked about how good this defense can

1401
01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:16,800
Speaker 1: be in first Nick Chubb and everything else. This is

1402
01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:19,800
Speaker 1: a team that has been built that I think can

1403
01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:23,080
Speaker 1: withstand a lengthy suspension to a superstar quarterback and remain

1404
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:26,120
Speaker 1: in the hunt. Time will tell, of course, but that's

1405
01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:28,800
Speaker 1: the sort of overlying theme that I've noticed being here

1406
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:30,680
Speaker 1: a few days. Yeah, which is a good one is

1407
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:33,080
Speaker 1: on the field. The first seven on seven drill of

1408
01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:36,120
Speaker 1: Brown's training camp started with a Deshaun Watson completion to

1409
01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:39,320
Speaker 1: Donovan People's jones and on that one looking for Nick

1410
01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:40,840
Speaker 1: Chubb over the middle of the field, and they were

1411
01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:43,280
Speaker 1: not able to connect there. You're right, this is a

1412
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:45,719
Speaker 1: team that has a lot of talent. We mentioned the defense,

1413
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:47,920
Speaker 1: we mentioned the running backs. But one of the things

1414
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:50,760
Speaker 1: that it feels to me anyway, seems to be inspiring

1415
01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:52,960
Speaker 1: this quiet confidence. And there are mixed opinions around the

1416
01:11:53,040 --> 01:11:55,680
Speaker 1: league about him, but the Browns I know, are very

1417
01:11:55,720 --> 01:11:57,960
Speaker 1: happy to have Jacoby Brissette here, and it feels like

1418
01:11:58,479 --> 01:12:01,880
Speaker 1: they really do think he can run this offense for

1419
01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:04,639
Speaker 1: whatever period of time it would need to be. Yeah,

1420
01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:07,320
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissett, I think can be a great game manager,

1421
01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:10,320
Speaker 1: and especially I don't know. I think when he first

1422
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:12,840
Speaker 1: filled in for Andrew Luck in seen when Luck was

1423
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:16,519
Speaker 1: dealing with that shoulder injury, the team in Indianapolis wasn't

1424
01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:19,160
Speaker 1: as good anymore as as the early part of Luck

1425
01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:22,200
Speaker 1: and what it's become more recently. And so you know,

1426
01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:25,120
Speaker 1: he probably developed his reputation based off of that, and

1427
01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:27,639
Speaker 1: it's hard to shake those first impressions as a starter,

1428
01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:30,120
Speaker 1: but this will be the most talented team that he'll

1429
01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:33,240
Speaker 1: have led in his NFL career, And certainly the way

1430
01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:35,440
Speaker 1: he's able to lead, the way he's able to galvanize

1431
01:12:35,479 --> 01:12:37,280
Speaker 1: a locker room, the way he's able to manage a

1432
01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:40,840
Speaker 1: game offensively, I think boats very well for this team.

1433
01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:42,320
Speaker 1: I think it was a great pick to bring him

1434
01:12:42,400 --> 01:12:44,640
Speaker 1: in as the backup. And then at the start of

1435
01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:48,160
Speaker 1: camp chemist Stefanski clarifying where he stands in the depth

1436
01:12:48,280 --> 01:12:50,679
Speaker 1: chart that he is the definitive backup and he'll start

1437
01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:53,880
Speaker 1: the games when and if Deshaun Watson gets suspended, and

1438
01:12:53,960 --> 01:12:56,960
Speaker 1: Jacoby said to have those reigns here early in camp

1439
01:12:57,040 --> 01:12:59,519
Speaker 1: and whenever that might happen, and they shift the amount

1440
01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:02,360
Speaker 1: of reps for him to lead. I think all sets

1441
01:13:02,439 --> 01:13:04,679
Speaker 1: him up as best as possible for the most success

1442
01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:07,320
Speaker 1: he can have. You're right talk with Omar Ruis from

1443
01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:09,240
Speaker 1: the NFL Network, who has been here and will be

1444
01:13:09,400 --> 01:13:12,080
Speaker 1: here through the weekend. Uh here at the Cross Country

1445
01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:15,000
Speaker 1: Mortgage campus watching this Browns team. Has anything surprised you

1446
01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 1: in your conversations with with you know, whether it be

1447
01:13:17,439 --> 01:13:19,760
Speaker 1: with some of the coaches or or really anybody in

1448
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:22,360
Speaker 1: this organization as you sit here right now, only day

1449
01:13:22,400 --> 01:13:23,920
Speaker 1: three of camp, but anything that stood out to you

1450
01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:27,800
Speaker 1: that that they're they're focused on just doing the work.

1451
01:13:28,280 --> 01:13:30,360
Speaker 1: You know that there is no hype here, that there's

1452
01:13:30,400 --> 01:13:32,559
Speaker 1: no hype to be bought in that. I don't think

1453
01:13:32,600 --> 01:13:34,040
Speaker 1: that I get a sense from any of the players

1454
01:13:34,160 --> 01:13:37,600
Speaker 1: or coaches that I've spoken with, even Andrew Berry, you

1455
01:13:37,640 --> 01:13:39,560
Speaker 1: know when I when I mentioned just how talented this

1456
01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:41,519
Speaker 1: roster is and he said, you you gotta see it

1457
01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:43,439
Speaker 1: on the field. You gotta you gotta win games to

1458
01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:46,840
Speaker 1: to justify all that talk. So no resting on their

1459
01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:49,439
Speaker 1: laurels for as successful as the off season might have build,

1460
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:52,280
Speaker 1: you know, no matter how much talent they appear to be.

1461
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:55,360
Speaker 1: And I think just looking at the team physically, this

1462
01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:58,640
Speaker 1: is one of those all bus teams. You know, everybody's

1463
01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:01,640
Speaker 1: filled out, Nick Chubb, I'm Mari Cooper, just you know,

1464
01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:04,720
Speaker 1: physical specimens, and this could be a special group with

1465
01:14:04,800 --> 01:14:07,160
Speaker 1: as much talent as they have. And in talking with

1466
01:14:07,240 --> 01:14:09,439
Speaker 1: Andrew Barry, you know, he says, it's not necessarily the

1467
01:14:09,479 --> 01:14:12,720
Speaker 1: most talented fifty three, it's the right fifty three. And

1468
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:14,960
Speaker 1: I think that's another aspect of this team that that

1469
01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:19,680
Speaker 1: they've all been talking about, what chemistry and cohesion, the camaraderie.

1470
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:22,800
Speaker 1: Ari Cooper saying that trip to the Bahamas was way

1471
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:26,240
Speaker 1: more UM bonding experience and he expected it to be

1472
01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:29,800
Speaker 1: and and them to form those bonds so early and

1473
01:14:29,840 --> 01:14:31,880
Speaker 1: then develop it here in camp, I think is something

1474
01:14:31,960 --> 01:14:34,559
Speaker 1: that that I don't think I expected to hear UM

1475
01:14:34,720 --> 01:14:37,720
Speaker 1: considering UM, you know how much continu they have from

1476
01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:41,280
Speaker 1: last year. But you know, as Stefanski says, winning cure's

1477
01:14:41,320 --> 01:14:43,479
Speaker 1: all and I think they hope to win a lot

1478
01:14:43,520 --> 01:14:45,439
Speaker 1: of games here this season. Yeah, they certainly do. Talking

1479
01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:48,720
Speaker 1: with Omar Ruiz from the NFL Network, and Omar, you know,

1480
01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:51,160
Speaker 1: we've talked about one of the reasons that for optimism

1481
01:14:51,320 --> 01:14:53,719
Speaker 1: is this defense and the continuity there. You think about,

1482
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:55,439
Speaker 1: you know, four of your top five corners from a

1483
01:14:55,520 --> 01:14:58,400
Speaker 1: year ago are back, and you draft mj Emerson. You're

1484
01:14:58,439 --> 01:15:00,479
Speaker 1: talking about all through your top three. If these your

1485
01:15:00,479 --> 01:15:02,760
Speaker 1: top four linebackers, and then we'll get to the two

1486
01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:05,759
Speaker 1: that matter the most. Miles Garrett, Jadeveon Clowney back again

1487
01:15:05,880 --> 01:15:08,439
Speaker 1: for the Cleveland Browns. What's kind of your sense on

1488
01:15:08,600 --> 01:15:10,840
Speaker 1: this defense, your read on this defense and just you

1489
01:15:10,920 --> 01:15:13,320
Speaker 1: know what it can be for the Browns. Yeah, I

1490
01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:15,840
Speaker 1: think it could be the best in the league. You know,

1491
01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:18,599
Speaker 1: when you have the continuity. Now, I think Joe Woods

1492
01:15:18,600 --> 01:15:22,680
Speaker 1: coming in laid the foundation put in his system that

1493
01:15:22,840 --> 01:15:26,439
Speaker 1: last year, the new personnel and and counting on you know,

1494
01:15:26,479 --> 01:15:29,560
Speaker 1: a rookie like Jeremiah oh Sue Cormoa to play a

1495
01:15:29,640 --> 01:15:32,519
Speaker 1: lot and the expectation for him now in year two

1496
01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:34,799
Speaker 1: to make that next step and and really the entirety

1497
01:15:34,840 --> 01:15:38,000
Speaker 1: of the defense having that continuity together. They keep speaking

1498
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:40,800
Speaker 1: about and you know, talking with Joe Woods, who you

1499
01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:43,479
Speaker 1: know was on the forty niners staff where that defense

1500
01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:45,880
Speaker 1: carried them to the Super Bowls. John Johnson was on

1501
01:15:45,960 --> 01:15:49,120
Speaker 1: the Rams that was ranked number one in the league

1502
01:15:49,160 --> 01:15:51,840
Speaker 1: and got Brandon Staleia head coaching job. They know what

1503
01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:55,080
Speaker 1: an elite defense looks like. Here. I believe they are

1504
01:15:55,160 --> 01:15:57,400
Speaker 1: confident they have the pieces in place. But it's what

1505
01:15:57,600 --> 01:16:00,559
Speaker 1: John Johnson spoke about in his press available it yesterday,

1506
01:16:00,640 --> 01:16:03,599
Speaker 1: the consistency to get that every single week, and they'll

1507
01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:06,240
Speaker 1: need it especially, you know, the games that Deshaun Watson

1508
01:16:06,320 --> 01:16:09,360
Speaker 1: may not play, but certainly if they can get that consistency,

1509
01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:12,679
Speaker 1: they can become that elite, top ranked defense if everything

1510
01:16:12,760 --> 01:16:14,720
Speaker 1: goes well and the injuries are on their side. And

1511
01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:16,479
Speaker 1: I think you made such a great point earlier that

1512
01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:19,200
Speaker 1: you know, if you were here one year ago today,

1513
01:16:19,360 --> 01:16:22,200
Speaker 1: coming off of that playoff run, there was so much

1514
01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:24,560
Speaker 1: hype around this team. There was so much excitement this

1515
01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:26,479
Speaker 1: team going to the Super Bowl, a lot of talk

1516
01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:28,720
Speaker 1: of that. We know how last season went. There has

1517
01:16:28,760 --> 01:16:31,439
Speaker 1: been a complete overhaul at the quarterback position the rest

1518
01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:33,599
Speaker 1: of the team. You know, when you you're bringing Amari Cooper,

1519
01:16:33,640 --> 01:16:35,679
Speaker 1: that helps. That was the number one goal, right over

1520
01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:39,759
Speaker 1: overhaul the passing game, incomes DeShawn Watson, incomes a Maori Cooper,

1521
01:16:40,080 --> 01:16:42,960
Speaker 1: and then defensively was get Clowney back. They accomplished that.

1522
01:16:43,080 --> 01:16:44,479
Speaker 1: But you know when you talk about a team with

1523
01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:46,559
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb and Kariem Hunt the back, and Darnce Johnson

1524
01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:48,720
Speaker 1: for that matter, who's darned good. You know you have

1525
01:16:48,880 --> 01:16:51,360
Speaker 1: got the defense that's got Miles and Clowney and then

1526
01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:54,320
Speaker 1: Denzel Ward and Greg Newsome and John Johnson and delpot

1527
01:16:54,439 --> 01:16:56,680
Speaker 1: and Ogusu Koramo and go on and on and on.

1528
01:16:57,439 --> 01:16:59,599
Speaker 1: It is interesting that this team is a bit under

1529
01:16:59,640 --> 01:17:01,680
Speaker 1: the raid. It's it's all because of that. Obviously, the

1530
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:03,599
Speaker 1: uncertainty a quarterback. You don't really know how to say

1531
01:17:03,640 --> 01:17:05,960
Speaker 1: what this team is, but you wouldn't think a team

1532
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:07,519
Speaker 1: with those names that we just kind of laid out

1533
01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:09,720
Speaker 1: whatever be under the radar in the NFL. I think

1534
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:10,960
Speaker 1: it's a good thing. I think it's a healthy thing

1535
01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:12,840
Speaker 1: for this organization because if you think about in the

1536
01:17:12,960 --> 01:17:15,680
Speaker 1: last four years, coming off of eighteen, very hyped going

1537
01:17:15,720 --> 01:17:18,040
Speaker 1: into nineteen didn't go well, and then in twenty it

1538
01:17:18,120 --> 01:17:20,519
Speaker 1: was kind of under the radar, and playoffs twenty one,

1539
01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:23,200
Speaker 1: very hyped didn't go well. So hopefully this year that

1540
01:17:23,320 --> 01:17:25,559
Speaker 1: that bodes well for that trend. Well, going back to eighteen,

1541
01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:28,120
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield number one overall, pick, A lot of hope,

1542
01:17:28,120 --> 01:17:31,720
Speaker 1: a lot of optimism, certainly when he was thrust into

1543
01:17:31,760 --> 01:17:34,000
Speaker 1: the game against the Jets on Thursday Night Football National

1544
01:17:34,120 --> 01:17:38,360
Speaker 1: TV comes back, wins the game nineteen, the Odell trade

1545
01:17:38,439 --> 01:17:40,439
Speaker 1: and what that might mean for this offense, so it

1546
01:17:40,479 --> 01:17:43,400
Speaker 1: seems like and then in obviously the deep playoff run

1547
01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:46,240
Speaker 1: every single year the last handful of years, you know,

1548
01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:48,080
Speaker 1: there's been high expectations, a lot of hope, and a

1549
01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:50,439
Speaker 1: lot of optimism. And and because of you know, the

1550
01:17:50,479 --> 01:17:53,880
Speaker 1: way that Deshaun Watson uh possible suspension has played out

1551
01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:56,639
Speaker 1: over the summer, because of that temperate enthusiasm we talked

1552
01:17:56,680 --> 01:17:59,120
Speaker 1: about ultimately, I think will be a good team. A

1553
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:01,560
Speaker 1: good thing for this team in in flying under the

1554
01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:03,200
Speaker 1: radar and not having to worry about the hype and

1555
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:06,000
Speaker 1: just focusing on the work, focusing on Winnie games and

1556
01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:08,840
Speaker 1: and whether that might be ugly, you know, sixteen to

1557
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:11,519
Speaker 1: six type of games you know, to start the season,

1558
01:18:11,600 --> 01:18:12,920
Speaker 1: so be it. But if they could just hang in there,

1559
01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:14,960
Speaker 1: which I think the team is good enough to by

1560
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:17,320
Speaker 1: the time Watson comes back, you know, look out in

1561
01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:19,320
Speaker 1: the second half of the season or whatever that might be.

1562
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:21,200
Speaker 1: I have I have, I have no indication on how

1563
01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:25,880
Speaker 1: long that might be, but whenever that might be, you know,

1564
01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:28,360
Speaker 1: look out for that Browns offense as well. Hopefully soon

1565
01:18:28,439 --> 01:18:30,880
Speaker 1: we'll get that information. You see why you're excited. Deshaun

1566
01:18:30,880 --> 01:18:33,120
Speaker 1: Watson the seven on seven. Ye'll just drilled a deep

1567
01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:36,479
Speaker 1: dig to Jachem Grant through heavy traffic and got the

1568
01:18:36,520 --> 01:18:38,519
Speaker 1: ball right in. There's one of the most accurate passers

1569
01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:40,880
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. Let's talk for a second

1570
01:18:40,880 --> 01:18:44,200
Speaker 1: about this division, because you know, obviously the a f

1571
01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:46,200
Speaker 1: C West, it's easy to look at that and say, yeah,

1572
01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:48,320
Speaker 1: that's the best division in football right now. You've got

1573
01:18:48,439 --> 01:18:51,280
Speaker 1: a loaded Chiefs team, a loaded Chargers team, a loaded

1574
01:18:51,360 --> 01:18:53,840
Speaker 1: Raiders team, and now Russell Wilson's in Denver, so a

1575
01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:56,560
Speaker 1: loaded Bronco team. But this a f C North. The

1576
01:18:56,600 --> 01:18:59,320
Speaker 1: Bengals just represented the a f C. The Steelers have

1577
01:18:59,439 --> 01:19:01,479
Speaker 1: never had to lose record under Toomin, although it's probably

1578
01:19:01,479 --> 01:19:04,719
Speaker 1: easy to say that maybe they're right now in that slot.

1579
01:19:05,080 --> 01:19:07,040
Speaker 1: The Ravens are always good, they have the m v

1580
01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:11,200
Speaker 1: P at quarterback, they're healthy. This is a stout division

1581
01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:12,680
Speaker 1: as well. What do you make it? Just the a

1582
01:19:12,720 --> 01:19:14,559
Speaker 1: f C North picture in general. I was just thinking

1583
01:19:14,560 --> 01:19:16,360
Speaker 1: about that yesterday. As much as we talk about the

1584
01:19:16,360 --> 01:19:19,120
Speaker 1: a f C West, I remember thinking last year about

1585
01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:21,240
Speaker 1: the NFC West, and they had this sort of similar

1586
01:19:21,320 --> 01:19:23,479
Speaker 1: blockbuster type of division that we're talking about the a

1587
01:19:23,560 --> 01:19:25,559
Speaker 1: f C West, and it didn't necessarily play out that way,

1588
01:19:25,920 --> 01:19:28,280
Speaker 1: you know, for whatever reason. Of course, Russell Wilson gets hurt,

1589
01:19:28,400 --> 01:19:29,960
Speaker 1: so you just don't know how things are gonna play

1590
01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:31,120
Speaker 1: out in the a f C West. But I think

1591
01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:34,160
Speaker 1: the way the a f C North teams are built,

1592
01:19:34,600 --> 01:19:37,040
Speaker 1: the Steelers defense is another one that could be so

1593
01:19:37,240 --> 01:19:40,080
Speaker 1: good that it might not matter if a rookie quarterback

1594
01:19:40,479 --> 01:19:43,880
Speaker 1: is playing or a reinvented Mitchell Trabinsky. They might still

1595
01:19:43,920 --> 01:19:45,720
Speaker 1: be good enough. You mentioned Mike Tomlin, the way he

1596
01:19:45,840 --> 01:19:47,800
Speaker 1: leads and the way they win every single year. They

1597
01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:50,040
Speaker 1: might be good enough as a fourth team to be

1598
01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:52,559
Speaker 1: so competitive that they're threatening for a wild card spot.

1599
01:19:52,560 --> 01:19:54,519
Speaker 1: And then you have the defending a f C champions

1600
01:19:54,760 --> 01:19:56,519
Speaker 1: in the division. We would only imagine them to be

1601
01:19:56,640 --> 01:19:59,240
Speaker 1: better given all that experience. And we've talked about the

1602
01:19:59,280 --> 01:20:01,640
Speaker 1: Browns and of course Ravens. I think this is a

1603
01:20:01,720 --> 01:20:04,880
Speaker 1: comeback season for the Ravens, especially if Lamar isn't a

1604
01:20:04,920 --> 01:20:07,880
Speaker 1: contract year. We see how guys perform in contract years

1605
01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:10,679
Speaker 1: if they don't get that done before the season begins,

1606
01:20:10,760 --> 01:20:13,160
Speaker 1: and how good that defense could be kind of rebounding

1607
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:15,160
Speaker 1: from last year. So I think when it's all said

1608
01:20:15,160 --> 01:20:16,840
Speaker 1: and done, you don't know how things are gonna play

1609
01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:18,320
Speaker 1: out in the a f C West. But at the

1610
01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:20,920
Speaker 1: end of the day, this might be the most competitive

1611
01:20:21,439 --> 01:20:25,360
Speaker 1: talked about division, which it normally is, you know, year

1612
01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:27,360
Speaker 1: in and year out in the NFL. It's just nice

1613
01:20:27,400 --> 01:20:29,400
Speaker 1: that the Browns, I think, have the the roster and

1614
01:20:29,640 --> 01:20:31,640
Speaker 1: the talent and the coaching to be in the conversation

1615
01:20:31,720 --> 01:20:33,760
Speaker 1: for the good part of the a f C North

1616
01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:35,639
Speaker 1: this year. As we talked with Omar Ruiz and Omar,

1617
01:20:35,760 --> 01:20:38,880
Speaker 1: this is not Browns related, it is NFL related. Have

1618
01:20:39,080 --> 01:20:41,360
Speaker 1: you seen Have you ever seen anything like the sog

1619
01:20:41,439 --> 01:20:43,280
Speaker 1: of the last few days with the Arizona Cardinals and

1620
01:20:43,320 --> 01:20:47,200
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. No, not even close. And that is just wild,

1621
01:20:47,479 --> 01:20:50,720
Speaker 1: wild wild. I think that the most wild thing to

1622
01:20:50,880 --> 01:20:54,320
Speaker 1: me is that you know Eric Burkehart is the agent

1623
01:20:54,400 --> 01:20:58,439
Speaker 1: for Kyler Murray and Cliff Kingsbury so um, and then

1624
01:20:58,560 --> 01:21:01,240
Speaker 1: you know you have the owner who's who has let

1625
01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:04,360
Speaker 1: Steve Kim just direct, but he does insert himself sure,

1626
01:21:04,640 --> 01:21:08,519
Speaker 1: So there is just a triangle, if you will, at

1627
01:21:08,560 --> 01:21:11,760
Speaker 1: the head of that organization that is very invested and

1628
01:21:11,880 --> 01:21:13,519
Speaker 1: I think they do a good job. The last you know,

1629
01:21:13,640 --> 01:21:16,559
Speaker 1: ten years, since Michael Bidwell has been running the team,

1630
01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:20,479
Speaker 1: they've they've won um double digit uh, they've had double

1631
01:21:20,520 --> 01:21:23,400
Speaker 1: digit win seasons more than the history of the franchise

1632
01:21:23,520 --> 01:21:26,560
Speaker 1: before he sort of took over. So they've been very competitive.

1633
01:21:26,600 --> 01:21:28,559
Speaker 1: We had it with the Bruce arians era, and they've

1634
01:21:28,600 --> 01:21:30,679
Speaker 1: been competitive obviously the last couple of years with Kyler

1635
01:21:30,760 --> 01:21:32,960
Speaker 1: and Cliff still haven't gotten over the hump. But the

1636
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:36,600
Speaker 1: way it's all played out is just remarkable, fascinating and

1637
01:21:36,680 --> 01:21:38,800
Speaker 1: will be one of those thirty for thirty or NFL

1638
01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:41,200
Speaker 1: Network of Football Life that will be looking back, you know,

1639
01:21:41,479 --> 01:21:43,760
Speaker 1: fifteen years from now, saying what in the heck was that?

1640
01:21:44,880 --> 01:21:47,519
Speaker 1: Totally And so here's here are the questions that I have,

1641
01:21:47,640 --> 01:21:49,679
Speaker 1: and these are these are more theoretical, These aren't questions

1642
01:21:49,680 --> 01:21:52,000
Speaker 1: necessarily for you, but and we can maybe you know,

1643
01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:56,120
Speaker 1: we'll think about them together. As did Eric burkhard ever

1644
01:21:56,240 --> 01:21:59,439
Speaker 1: tell Kyler Murray that that clause was in that contract. Okay,

1645
01:21:59,520 --> 01:22:03,160
Speaker 1: that's theoretical question number one, because it feels like he

1646
01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:05,320
Speaker 1: did not know about it and that he was insulted

1647
01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:07,160
Speaker 1: by it, and that it would have been easy to say, no,

1648
01:22:07,360 --> 01:22:09,680
Speaker 1: take this clause out, or I'll go play somewhere else.

1649
01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:11,599
Speaker 1: There are plenty people will pay me because I'm good

1650
01:22:11,960 --> 01:22:17,519
Speaker 1: not to have that. Number two theoretical, how did this

1651
01:22:17,680 --> 01:22:20,240
Speaker 1: become public? Because if you think about the parties involved

1652
01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:22,800
Speaker 1: in this contract, it does not behoove the Cardinals for

1653
01:22:22,840 --> 01:22:25,639
Speaker 1: this to become public at all, because it would say, well, yeah,

1654
01:22:25,640 --> 01:22:27,479
Speaker 1: you're giving this guy a hundred and sixty guaranteed, but

1655
01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:29,400
Speaker 1: yet you felt like he wasn't studying up to the

1656
01:22:29,479 --> 01:22:32,800
Speaker 1: level of a franchise quarterback. It certainly doesn't benefit Kyler

1657
01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:35,800
Speaker 1: Murray's camp for this to become public because it looks

1658
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:38,200
Speaker 1: like he has not been doing the job of a

1659
01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:41,200
Speaker 1: of a franchise quarterback and they're going to now legislate

1660
01:22:41,280 --> 01:22:43,920
Speaker 1: that he must put in that studying time when we

1661
01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:45,840
Speaker 1: all know it's a lifestyle to play the most demanding

1662
01:22:45,880 --> 01:22:49,080
Speaker 1: position all of fresional sports. So the only person I

1663
01:22:49,120 --> 01:22:51,240
Speaker 1: could think in my mind is a theoretical person is

1664
01:22:51,240 --> 01:22:54,519
Speaker 1: an agent that wants to someday represent Kyler Murray would

1665
01:22:54,600 --> 01:22:56,599
Speaker 1: somehow make this public, because otherwise it makes no sense

1666
01:22:56,720 --> 01:22:58,439
Speaker 1: that this was even brought to light, and now it's

1667
01:22:58,439 --> 01:23:01,080
Speaker 1: already been backtracked and a limit needed in a couple

1668
01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:04,040
Speaker 1: of days. And that that theory makes sense because all

1669
01:23:04,080 --> 01:23:06,400
Speaker 1: the parties involved would not want that to be out.

1670
01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:10,000
Speaker 1: But those contracts do become public once they're approved and

1671
01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:12,560
Speaker 1: stamped by the c b A and and nfl p

1672
01:23:12,720 --> 01:23:14,920
Speaker 1: A and everything. All agents have access to it, so

1673
01:23:15,320 --> 01:23:18,000
Speaker 1: that theory, that theory seems good. But I go back

1674
01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:20,600
Speaker 1: to a press conference that I was there for, and

1675
01:23:20,800 --> 01:23:23,600
Speaker 1: I forget if maybe they were going to play the Seahawks,

1676
01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:27,960
Speaker 1: and and Russell Wilson perhaps made some complimentary comments about

1677
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:31,120
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. And I asked Cliff Kingsbury about the praise

1678
01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:34,600
Speaker 1: that Russell Wilson um was giving on on Kyler and

1679
01:23:34,800 --> 01:23:38,479
Speaker 1: and Cliff responded in this way about, you know, he

1680
01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:42,280
Speaker 1: appreciates that somebody like Russell would say that, because Russell

1681
01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:46,639
Speaker 1: is somebody who has fully invested his time year round,

1682
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:49,360
Speaker 1: three hundred sixty five days a year into being the

1683
01:23:49,439 --> 01:23:52,519
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback in both how he trains his body, how

1684
01:23:52,600 --> 01:23:54,799
Speaker 1: he Studies film, and he just went in great depths

1685
01:23:55,280 --> 01:23:58,360
Speaker 1: about how Russell Wilson is the face of the franchise.

1686
01:23:58,439 --> 01:24:00,920
Speaker 1: And to me, that's into message that he wants Kyler

1687
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:04,360
Speaker 1: to be like that. Yes, and so you know, perhaps

1688
01:24:04,840 --> 01:24:06,880
Speaker 1: you know, the ownership kind of took hold of that,

1689
01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:08,880
Speaker 1: and if and if to me, if Cliff is saying

1690
01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:12,519
Speaker 1: that publicly, then I'm sure they've had conversations similar in private,

1691
01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:17,080
Speaker 1: and perhaps perhaps ownership felt that maybe that message not

1692
01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:19,040
Speaker 1: getting through, And so I want that if I'm gonna

1693
01:24:19,200 --> 01:24:22,800
Speaker 1: pony sixty million dollars, I want this in the clause.

1694
01:24:22,880 --> 01:24:24,800
Speaker 1: And then going back to your point, the original question,

1695
01:24:24,880 --> 01:24:26,840
Speaker 1: how the heck does that go public? I think that's

1696
01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:30,120
Speaker 1: the million dollar question. But late last night they hadn't

1697
01:24:30,160 --> 01:24:37,320
Speaker 1: removed if we intended oh man. But going to your point,

1698
01:24:37,400 --> 01:24:39,479
Speaker 1: this is something we've never seen before. And I don't

1699
01:24:39,479 --> 01:24:41,920
Speaker 1: know if I've ever seen the language of a contract

1700
01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:45,439
Speaker 1: taken out because of public backlash, and even almost it

1701
01:24:45,520 --> 01:24:48,040
Speaker 1: feels like player backlash. And you think about the Arizona

1702
01:24:48,080 --> 01:24:51,200
Speaker 1: Cardinals who have been you know, despread for a franchise quarterback.

1703
01:24:51,200 --> 01:24:54,000
Speaker 1: They've had Kurt Warr, but he wasn't their homegrown you know, guy,

1704
01:24:54,120 --> 01:24:56,559
Speaker 1: and you go back to maybe even Jake Plumber briefly

1705
01:24:56,640 --> 01:24:58,759
Speaker 1: when they had those great moments with me and David Boston,

1706
01:24:58,840 --> 01:25:00,479
Speaker 1: but this was could have been a great you know,

1707
01:25:00,560 --> 01:25:02,240
Speaker 1: some of the moment in the franchise, and it will

1708
01:25:02,280 --> 01:25:05,200
Speaker 1: always be somewhat marred by the way this went down.

1709
01:25:05,240 --> 01:25:11,080
Speaker 1: Into your point, there should be a thirty because I

1710
01:25:11,240 --> 01:25:14,160
Speaker 1: think that it is. It is fascinating, But this is

1711
01:25:14,200 --> 01:25:17,000
Speaker 1: one of those things where, you know, like Kevin Stefanski

1712
01:25:17,160 --> 01:25:20,559
Speaker 1: said earlier, and talking about team building and camaraderie and everything,

1713
01:25:21,200 --> 01:25:23,840
Speaker 1: winning cures everything, of course, So if they don't fold

1714
01:25:23,880 --> 01:25:25,920
Speaker 1: down the stretch like they've had the last few years,

1715
01:25:26,400 --> 01:25:28,400
Speaker 1: then you know, we'll all be laughing about that. And

1716
01:25:28,479 --> 01:25:31,880
Speaker 1: I guarantee you that Kyler and his press conferences later

1717
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:34,680
Speaker 1: the year, we'll be talking about, you know, yeah, I

1718
01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:37,160
Speaker 1: studied six hours for that game or whatever. He'll be

1719
01:25:37,200 --> 01:25:39,439
Speaker 1: having fun with it. We'll all joke about it. But

1720
01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:42,479
Speaker 1: if it doesn't or if it if history repeats itself

1721
01:25:42,840 --> 01:25:44,600
Speaker 1: and they don't get to the playoffs or have the

1722
01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:47,599
Speaker 1: success that they're expected to this season, then that will

1723
01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:49,800
Speaker 1: linger over and again, to your point, will kind of

1724
01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:51,960
Speaker 1: hang over the organization the way it has the last

1725
01:25:51,960 --> 01:25:54,360
Speaker 1: few days very interesting and it was nice for a

1726
01:25:54,400 --> 01:25:58,560
Speaker 1: little bit to have a little controversy elsewhere. As we

1727
01:25:58,680 --> 01:26:01,160
Speaker 1: get ready here for this Brown season and again this Saturday,

1728

1738

Speaker 1: edition up of Cleveland Brown's Daily on a Friday live

1739
01:26:31,960 --> 01:26:34,360
Speaker 1: from the practice fields at the Cross Country Mortgage Campus.

1740
01:26:43,120 --> 01:27:11,519
Speaker 1: M wow, we are wrapping it up here. We got

1741
01:27:11,560 --> 01:27:14,400
Speaker 1: the first seven on seven of training camp earlier. Definitely

1742
01:27:14,479 --> 01:27:17,320
Speaker 1: some Deshaun Watson to Donovan People's jones. That's been a

1743
01:27:17,360 --> 01:27:19,400
Speaker 1: theme in the early going. Also a nice ball to

1744
01:27:19,520 --> 01:27:22,479
Speaker 1: jackiem Grant. Yeah, that was a dime on the backside.

1745
01:27:22,560 --> 01:27:24,880
Speaker 1: Dig there. You love to see that the defense had

1746
01:27:24,920 --> 01:27:26,599
Speaker 1: some moments getting their hands on some balls as well.

1747
01:27:26,680 --> 01:27:30,240
Speaker 1: Had Jacoby Brissette orchestrated the offense nicely also, so that

1748
01:27:30,400 --> 01:27:32,360
Speaker 1: was good to see. Big thanks to GiB A. What

1749
01:27:32,439 --> 01:27:34,559
Speaker 1: a week here. Thanks to Kevin Stefanski for joining us

1750

1751
01:27:38,400 --> 01:27:41,320
Speaker 1: And remember tomorrow the debut of Brown's live training camp.

1752
01:27:41,400 --> 01:27:44,040
Speaker 1: That'll happen tomorrow at to thirty for you when we

1755
01:27:50,160 --> 01:27:52,760
Speaker 1: the only thing missing is all of you. That will

1756
01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:55,400
Speaker 1: not be true tomorrow. You will be here for Brown's
