Speaker 1: official kickoff. We laid out the offense for you on Monday.

21
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: We laid out the defense for you on Tuesday. But

22
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: the media now it is rolling lots of press conferences,

23
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,200

24
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: general manager Andrew Barry and other players as well. So

25
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: we are officially rolling here for the two season of

26
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns. And I gotta tell you an opportunity

27
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: ran into Deshaun Watson earlier today. He is the world

28
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: to be here. I told him I apologize on behalf

29
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: of the city for rolling out the white carpet for

30
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: him with all the snow yesterday, and he said, no

31
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: big deal, but just happy to be around his teammates

32
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: and getting to build those relationships, in those bonds. And

33
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: I also just had an opportunity right before we went

34
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: on the air to do something very very cool. I

35
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: got to sit down with Denzel Ward fresh off of

36
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 1: his his contract and talk with him and and our interview.

37
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: I thought it was I very much enjoyed it. It

38
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: was a great time to get to talk to somebody

39
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: who has done something historic, something that they're very proud of,

40
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: that their family is very proud of. But at the

41
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: end of it, UH it was really cool and this

42
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: will either come out on social on building the Browns

43
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 1: or both um. But at the end there was a

44
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: video about four minutes of family friends, mentors, people that

45
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: he's touched and lives, that he saved, people who who

46
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: are alive today because of his make Them Know Your

47
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: Name foundation, all ex you know, sharing congratulatory messages with

48
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 1: him of love and and just to see Denzel get

49
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 1: a little emotional watching it. I got emotional, and that's

50
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: gonna be We'll have that for you so you'll get

51
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: an opportunity to see that what I thought was a

52
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: very very special moment with a very special player and

53
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: a very special person. And I think that's one of

54
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: the things that makes Denzel so great is not only

55
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: is he know Ohio guy, not only did he play

56
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: high school grow up here, and not only to play

57
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: college Ohio State. Now he plays for the Browns, never

58
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: having to leave the state really for his entire football career,

59
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: but so generous in the community, making a difference to

60
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: the Browns Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee one,

61
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: you know, and I was thinking, give me there are

62
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: a lot of very very good players in the history

63
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: of this league. There are also a lot of great

64
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: people in the history of this league. When you have

65
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: a great player who's also a great person in the community,

66
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: that's a little more rare. The guy who came to

67
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: my mind when I think about Larry Fitzgerald, he was

68
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: I think multiple time Walter Payton guy. I think he

69
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: won the actual the whole award for the league. Uh

70
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: and is one of the all time greats. And you know,

71
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: Denzel Ward has an opportunity to be I think, you know,

72
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: one of the greats at the position, but also be

73
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: on that list of guys that are you know, potentially

74
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,119
Speaker 1: you know, all pro potentially you know, one day could

75
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: wear a gold jacket, but also would be involved in

76
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: getting that recognition as the Walter Payton Man of the Year.

77
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: And he does it quietly, very he is. He is

78
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: not about the flash, he's not about the media. Um.

79
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: He really he's very quiet and he's not big media

80
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: interview person. I think he likes to let his actions

81
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: speak louder than his words. And he has quietly taken

82
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 1: that foundation to two levels that I'm not sure that

83
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: he and his family thought that they could achieve. Uh.

84
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: And they are there and and oh and it's and

85
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: it's going beyond I think when anybody thought it could be.

86
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: He doesn't quietly you don't hear from him. You know,

87
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: he's he's happy to step up and talk after games. Uh,

88
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: he doesn't shy away from it. But at the end

89
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: of the day, he quiet lee wants to let his

90
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: play do the talking, let his actions in the community

91
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: do the talking. And he's a great kid. He's a

92
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: great guy, not a kid. He I mean, this is

93
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: his fifth year with us. Guy's been around. We we

94
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: were doing some prep today before your interview. Like he

95
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: played DeShawn Watson in a bowl game. I mean Clemson

96
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: won and knocked out Ohio State and uh, Denzel was

97
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: a younger pup on that Ohio State team. But uh,

98
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: I mean that's how far back this goes. And you know,

99
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: from Nordonia High School to the Ohio State University to

100
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: Cleveland and and being a part of this organization and

101
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: being a part of this family and being a part

102
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: of this group. Uh for Clevelanders to know forever, it's

103
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: pretty special all that he's accomplished. And uh, congratulations to

104
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: him and his family and his foundation, who I'm sure

105
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 1: is going to benefit from the contract that he will

106
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: be signing. If he has not already signed it, I'm

107
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: not sure where he's at all over the place. Today.

108
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: We're good and we'll have obviously all the official announcement

109
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: and hoopla on things that we've prepared for. This moment

110
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: will be coming out, I would imagine today. But just

111
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: a great moment for Denzel, great young man. Uh. And

112
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: make them know your name. They know your name, There's

00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. They absolutely know his name. Now

Speaker 1: to be insane, Like we got there two and a

124
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: half hours early just to be on the safe site

125
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,559
Speaker 1: because I didn't know what you expect and we weren't

126
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: sure what was gonna go on. I had to check

127
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,560

130
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: out from a clothing standpoint. We were through security within

134
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: eastern weekend in some warm weather. And I know I

135
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: was joking around with you guys yesterday, but remember Cleveland,

136
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: Remember like we do get snow in April. Sometimes the

137
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: good news is it doesn't stick around very long and

138
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: usually within a couple of days we're back to being

139
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: warm now. The rain not ideal later this week. I

140
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: like the seventy degrees. I need to be a little dryer.

141
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: I don't even know how I'm gonna begin to mow

142
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: the lawn with the old zero or not. You're not

143
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: You're not gonna be on that thing safely until June. Buddy. Yeah.

144
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: Not ideal, No, not ideal, not not not exactly what

145
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: I'm looking for. But it was a nice getaway. It

146
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: was a quick getaway. Would have liked to stay longer.

147
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: But Draft week is almost upon us, and plenty to

148
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: do here at the Cross Country Mortgage Campus. Yes, plenty

149
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: to do, and obviously plenty going on in the league.

150
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: It had been, by the way, a little bit quiet

151
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: around the NFL. Well not anymore. Deebo Samuel requesting a

152
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: trade from the San Francis, he tells Jeff Darlington, Uh,

153
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: keep an eye on the Jets. That wouldn't surprise me

154
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 1: at all. He knows the floor their offense, according to

155
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: knows Robert Sala, their head coach from there is time

156
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: there with the forty um. Maybe the Chiefs, with their

157
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: two first round picks, replaced Tyreek Hill with with Deebo Samuel.

158
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: Maybe the Green Bay Packers replaced Davante Adams with Diebo Samuel.

159
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: They've got a lot of first round picks, so there's

160
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: a lot in play, and it is a pretty wild thing.

161
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: I think that. Uh, the Niners, I'm guessing would be

162
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: they've got to be shocked there under no by the way,

163
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: obligation to trade him. Uh you would think that, you know,

164
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: playing with Kyle Shannon, who have got a great he

165
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: had a carved out a role for Deebo Samuel and

166
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: only carry the ball as well as being a receiver

167
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: that made the Niners very effective, made Debo very effective.

168
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: I thought he had he had a career year. I'm

169
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: guessing they're absolutely willing to pay him to keep him.

170
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: He is a transcendent type of a talent um. But

171
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: we'll see. Is he transcendent simply because of the system

172
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: he currently plays it. No, I think he's very I

173
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: think he's I think he's elite. I think that he's

174
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: one of the best receivers in the league. I think

175
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: that I'm surprised that he wants to be out there

176
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: though he's number one in the NFL in yards after

177
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: the cat, number one in yards after contact per rush.

178
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 1: He was four point six are Nick Chubb was like

179
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: four point to five. But he's a very talented guy,

180
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 1: There's no doubt, a very talented guy. Another big subplot

181
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: here as we get ready for the draft, and we've

182
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,479
Speaker 1: got I believe eight teams with multiple first round picks

183
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: that certainly could be in the mix for him um,

184
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 1: And that's gonna be an interesting thing to play out,

185
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 1: and I think it has massive implications if they lose him.

186
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: And by the way, Samuel would not give the reasons

187
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: for his trade. He's just saying that he's requested the trade.

188
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: What's the reason money. Who's saying they are going to

189
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: pay him though, Well, they're probably not giving him what

190
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: he wants. It goes back to the conversation we had

191
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: last week about this this next group of wide receivers

192
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: DK metcalf and and all these guys that are of

193
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: the same length in their contracts right now that are

194
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: due to get paid. And are you gonna ham if

195
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: the wide receiver classes in the draft continue to be

196
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: as deep as they are, that you could possibly replace

197
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: him with another stud wide receiver. Well, that's gonna be

198
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: the interesting thing that is you see going forward, right

199
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: is does wide receiver at some point as colleges shift

200
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: to spread offenses and shift to pass centric offenses. And

201
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: they've done that for a while, by the way, but

202
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: it just feels like every year like we got six

203
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: guys drafted in the first round. You know, our team

204
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: is gonna do what Minnesota did and let Stefon Diggs

205
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: go and get paid and then drafted Justin Jefferson, Will

206
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson be the next guy that they trade and

207
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: they draft receiver or or will they pay him because

208
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna command Bouko Dolores. And what's amazing is the

209
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: elite receivers are making a d fifty percent of the

210
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: elite corners right now, which I think is a wild thing.

211
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: And I don't know if that's sustainable or not, but

212
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: a receiver that's that good certainly changes the way a

213
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: team has to scheme and and deal with you. And

214
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: we'll see how this all plays out. If I'm the

215
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: forty Niners, we'll see at mandatory minicamp, like you're under contract,

216
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: let's go, We'll see how it all plays out. Or

217
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: first round pick would certainly be able to get one.

218
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: And when you do, you plug a Traylon Burks in there,

219
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: you plug at Garrett Wilson in there, save the money,

220
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 1: use that in other places. I don't know. I think

221
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: Debo is unbelievable. He's a great wide receiver, and then

222
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: you take the running back part of it, and he's

223
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: he's excellent. But I think he's one of the top

224
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: five receivers in the NFL right now and should be

225
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: paid as such. And we'll see how that ultimately plays out.

226
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: One of the top quarters in the NFL did get

227
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: paid and that is our Denzel Ward. When we come back,

228
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: you'll hear his meeting with the media after becoming the

229
00:12:39,520 --> 00:13:03,360

236
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 1: with the media today here at the Cross Country Mortgage campus.

237
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: That's the plan. That's the plan. Did you know, Um,

238
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: probably like the week of a couple of days before

239
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: the talks were picking up, and uh just constant conversation

240
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 1: between my agent and uh Mr Barry and uh so

241
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: I knew it was kind of getting closer. In the

242
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: day came. It was crazy mean to you, the fact

243
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: that the franchise has invested in you now. And I

244
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: remember a year or so ago we were having those

245
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: conversations about not knowing what was going to happen, but

246
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: have to make this type of commitment. What does that

247
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: mean to you personally? Yeah, it means a lot. I

248
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: mean I tweeted about it. I told them that just

249
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: the fact that they're continue to believe in me, believing

250
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: the kid that grew up in Ohio and um went

251
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: on to play for his hometown team, and they're trusting

252
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: the my abilities and what I could do for this

253
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: team and what I could do in this community and saw,

254
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm blessed. I just just want to continue

255
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: to get back, want to continue to show that I'm

256
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: that guy. I'm deserving of this, and uh, I mean

257
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: it's not just for me. So I'm just excited. Family reaction,

258
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: like crying, excited, jumping around here. Everybody's excited and they

259
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: should be. So just excited, excited from my family, cited

260
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: from my mom. But Mother's Day gift plan, it's it's

261
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: definitely in the works. It's definitely in the word. I

262
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: can't talk about it yet. About now that they've made

263
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: this long term commitment to you, what do you feel

264
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: like maybe you want to give back, maybe even so

265
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: then you already had, which I know is a lot,

266
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: but just in terms of leadership, play on the field.

267
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: What more is there for you? Yeah, I mean it

268
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: always starts with the work, and I mean I feel

269
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: like I've been showing that since I've been here. But

270
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm going to continue to work and be myself,

271
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: be the person that I've been since I came into

272
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: this organization. But um, I mean, just it's gonna last.

273
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be able to do more things and expand

274
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: out in the community. And that's one of my biggest

275
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: things as well with my foundation and things that we

276
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: got going around Cleveland. So, um, coming up with different

277
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: ideas to give back and just be a positive impact.

278
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: Nick Joel, why all these extensions here? Is there a

279
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: sense of pride to be a part of that group

280
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: and know you guys are building something together here. No,

281
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: it's it's definitely a sense of pride. I mean, like

282
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: you said, those are core guys and and guys that

283
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: you see out there on the field making plays. So

284
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: I mean we gotta continue to hold that standard and

285
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: keep it going. So I mean, now that we got

286
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: the contract done and everything doesn't mean that we could relax.

287
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: It means that we've gotta go harder, if anything, and uh,

288
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: continue the show while we got it. What do you

289
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: think of the shakeup at the quarterback What are you

290
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: taking to shake up at the quarterback room? Yeah, I

291
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: mean I trust a b I trust the Hasslems and

292
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: um everybody that they brought in or the moves that

293
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: they made, So all my trust is in them and

294
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: whoever is out there on that field, I know it's

295
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: gonna be ready to play. Your first impressions of Shaun,

296
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: I mean we've been constant communications. He seems like a

297
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: great guy. I're gonna continue to build our relationship throughout

298
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: this off season program and as we uh the teams

299
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: start coming together. But he seems he seems like a

300
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: great guy. Like I said, the entire secondary with you

301
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: and Greg, John Grant, you know, Ronnie's back and everybody's

302
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: still pretty young, mostly locked up. How good do you

303
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: think you guys can all be? Man, we could be special.

304
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: And I think the biggest thing too, is I mean,

305
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: we get a lot of those guys back, So I

306
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: think the biggest thing is chemistry. So I mean, we

307
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: we went left on the good note last year with

308
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: this group, and I think we could build on that.

309
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: But like I said, the best thing for me is

310
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: getting those guys back knowing how they play, knowing how

311
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: I play and working together. What's it like being the

312
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: top Paige corner in the league and seeing Jalen Ramsey

313
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: tweeting year about joining that club. Yeah, it's a blessing.

314
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: I mean when I every time I see it, it's

315
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: it's just crazy to look at I just I don't know,

316
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: I've been shocking and all just looking at it. Just

317
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it's been a lot of amazing corners, dbs

318
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: and players that then went through this league and been

319
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: in the position that I'm in now, and for me

320
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,719
Speaker 1: to have my name there, I mean, it's I'll take

321
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: a lot of produd in that and a lot of

322
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: respecting that. And like I said, I just want to

323
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: continue to show that I'm that guy and I'm that

324
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 1: player the other players in the league reach out to you,

325
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: text or Yeah, a lot a lot of players in

326
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: the league. On the top of my head. I know

327
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 1: Joe Hayden, he reached out like you guys seen Ramsey. Uh,

328
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 1: It's it's a long list of people that reached out

329
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: and congratulated me. So definitely appreciative of those guys. So

330
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: be Uh, it would be your third year. But Joe Wood,

331
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: which that's unique enough, So how how could this defense

332
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: evolve even more than it did last year? Yeah? I said,

333
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna be special just having the same group of

334
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 1: coaches back, the same group of dbs back, and just

335
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: building that camaraderie, you know how each other play and uh,

336
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: which Joe was in his defense, like getting a better understanding.

337
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: I feel that plays a big factor. Just having a

338
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 1: comfort level of on what to do, knowing the calls

339
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: and um, knowing what new calls he's gonna put in,

340
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:29,959
Speaker 1: and knowing how he likes to coach and play. So

341
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: I mean that that's whoge to have all these guys back.

342
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: But obviously being a local guy, I guess what level

343
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: of specialness does that add to getting an extension with

344
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: your your hometown team? Yeah? Special? I mean it's it's

345
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: a story that not not many could could speak about.

346
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 1: Like I played down the street when I was in

347
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: high school, went on to play at the Ohio States

348
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 1: doesn't Ohio and then getting drafted you know, you don't

349
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: know where you're gonna go, and then um for it

350
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: to be you see an area code of your hometown

351
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 1: team calling and you're going down the road to play

352
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: for your home town team in the NFL. It's it's

353
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: a story that that hasn't been written many times. So

354
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: I said, I take a lot of pride in that.

355
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: Take a lot of pride and um, what I could

356
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: do for this team. So I just want to get

357
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: back and show that I'm that guy. Like I said,

358
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: Andrew Berry is not saying shy about taking care of

359
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: the court players here. Your organization has invested a lot

360
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: of money the last two to three years in the

361
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: team collectively. Just what type of impact does that have

362
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: from a cultural standpoint within the locker room. Yeah, I

363
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: mean I think it shows that if you're gonna come

364
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 1: in and put the work in and do your job,

365
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: do you're supposed to do what you're expected. I mean,

366
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 1: they reward those guys, And so I said, I'm appreciative

367
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: of those guys, Appreciative the A B, the hasms, and

368
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 1: the tired organization. I feel like I was a guy

369
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: that came in and just trying to get to work

370
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: and um just kind of be a role model on

371
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: the field off the field, and uh, they rewarded me,

372
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 1: rewarded the community. So, UM, I think It's just a

373
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: lot of props to those guys in the league. With Baker,

374
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: with him kind of being a little moment when he's

375
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: spoken to him at all, He kept in contact with him. Yeah,

376
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 1: definitely kept in contact with Baker. He could congratulated me

377
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 1: on the deal. Actually, so I was appreaching some of

378
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: him him for that um defense played so well at

379
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: the end of the year last year. Would you like

380
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: to see Ja, Dave and Clownie come back and and

381
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 1: be with the team and with that defense this season?

382
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: Ye'all was definitely speaking with him recently. I would like

383
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: to see Conny bag. I feel like he was a

384
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: big key factor for us on the defense. Him and

385
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: Miles I feel we're a great sand on but um,

386
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: so hopefully we could get that done. And I mean

387
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: last said, whoever a b and those guys bring in,

388
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure they are gonna be able to get the

389
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: job done. But Connie was definitely a great asset for

390
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: the teams the last I think it was June when

391
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: you were telling us that your agent was in contract

392
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 1: talks with the Browns. Did you think at any point

393
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: last summer something would get done? Um, I'm not sure.

394
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not sure. I don't know if it

395
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: was gonna get done at that at that point in time,

396
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 1: I mean, talks were going on, but we didn't come

397
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 1: to an agreement at that point obviously. But my biggest

398
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: thing was just focusing on ball and and just trying

399
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 1: to play the game because during the time we were

400
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: talking was where we were in the season and playing,

401
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: so that's all I wanted to focus on. Really during

402
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: that time, I was gonna be like, you know, it

403
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: didn't happen then, but are you glad the way it

404
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: worked out? Obviously you know in your favorite but are

405
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: you are you glad that you were patient and you

406
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,239
Speaker 1: may have bet on yourself in a way. Definitely. I mean,

407
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 1: I mean I feel everything happens for a reason, and um,

408
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 1: when stuff is meant for you, that that's when that's

409
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: when it would come to you. So I wasn't pressed

410
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: or I wasn't I wasn't in a rush to get

411
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: a deal done. I mean, like I said, I'm I'm

412
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: here to enjoy the game that I've been playing since

413
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 1: I was a little kid, and um, and if things

414
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 1: worked out in that way we were able to get

415
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: a deal done, then that'd been cool too, But if not,

416
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: then I'll wait on my time and just put in

417
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: the work, continue to put in the work and work

418
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: towards what I'm playing for. How you up obviously one

419
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: of the core members of this team. How does that

420
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: play into the evolution of me as as a leader

421
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: on this team with that connected the team to get Yeah,

422
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: like I said, I'm gonna continue to be the guy

423
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: that I am. The contract is, it's a it's a blessing, Bob.

424
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna change who I am. I feel I'm

425
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 1: a role model, I'm a leader on this team, and

426
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: uh leave those guys uh in my own way. So

427
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: I feel the last time, I'm just gonna continue to

428
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 1: be myself and everything else to take care of yourself.

429
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: You've been in the leak now four years, so you

430
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: know how hard it is to get to the postseason.

431
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: Do you feel now with the changes that quarterback and

432
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: in your contract during the duration of your contract, the

433
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: bronze and makeup to the Super Bowl? Uh? I feel

434
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: that's that's all our goal. That's all our goal is

435
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 1: to get to that level, get to the super Bowl.

436
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: But for me, I'm a person I likes to take

437
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: stuff a game at the time, a day at the time.

438
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: I don't like to look too far ahead. I feel

439
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: you take some game of time, you win that first game,

440
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: that everything else at the end of the year and

441
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 1: take care of yourself. But obviously that's our goal at

442
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: the end of the year. It's uh to get to

443
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 1: that championship and get to that Super Bowl, and we're

444
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: gonna put that work in to get there. Obviously didn't

445
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,200

453
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: new opportunity to go out and play the game that

Speaker 1: we love and get to that championship, get to the

455

00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: the biggest thing got the guys. Bad. Guys are having

457
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: fun out there on the field, working out and getting

458
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 1: back together. So it's been fun to camaraderie in the

459
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: team capistry kind of at the end of this season,

460
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: and a lot of it came from defensive players. Would

461
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: you kind of being a key player who's gonna be

462
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 1: around for a while now, how can we change that

463
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: culture and make a difference to kind of learn off

464
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: the last season and move forward to season. Yeah, we've

465
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: we've actually been on a lot of talks with that.

466
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 1: With that comaraderie, I mean, we've been doing things off

467
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,239
Speaker 1: the field, getting together, going out to eat. I know,

468
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 1: guys like the Sean Miles are planning trips for guys,

469
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 1: and we're gonna get together and build that comaraderie off

470
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 1: the field, not just hearing the facility where that's going

471
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: out to eat, like I said, taking a trip, working

472
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: out together. So we're definitely building that comaraderie. And that's

473
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: been a, like I said, a big thing from last

474
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: year and the stuff that we're trying to take. I'm

475
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: sorry de Sean comes here with a little bit of

476
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: a cloud over him, some questions about his character. Does

477
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: that matter to you as a teammate. Are you curious

478
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: to finding out what kind of guy he is? Um?

479
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: I feel that a b and those guys. They did

480
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: their due diligence and they took care of responsibilit and

481
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: look into everything they needed to look into with the

482
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: Sean and everything that's going on. So I mean I

483
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 1: trust those guys. I trust what they did. Meeting to Sean,

484
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: like I say things like a nice guy and uh,

485
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 1: he's obviously a great talent and looking forward to continue

486
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 1: to build our relationship on and off the field. And um,

487
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: I mean we just take it from there. There's been

488
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: like this, arms racing, Russell Wilson's now in the AC

489
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: Davante Adams, Matt Bryan, what's your outlook on how this

490
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: conference got tough? Heard? Yes, it's looking tough, but I

491
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: mean we're tough too, so you can take stuff A

492
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: game at the time. We got work, put the work

493
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: in to get to where we gotta go, and everything

494
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: else to take care of yourself. But I mean we're

495
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: all competitors. We're gonna go out there and compete. So

496
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 1: I mean we welcome the challenge and we look forward

497
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 1: to it. Going back to de Sean, you've been on

498
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: the other side against him, so what makes him the

499
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: player is Yeah, he's special, He's a special player. His

500
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: UM passing ability, but it's not just passing. He's able

501
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 1: to maneuver in the pocket and run. But um, I

502
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: mean he's a he's a special talent. Like you said,

503
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 1: he win agains them win against them in college. Actually

504
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: they blew us out, So I mean they're having some

505
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: trash talk going on with that. But um, I'm glad

506
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: he's on the team, looking forward to what we can

507

509
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: his new deal as he should be, and excited about

Speaker 1: the prospects for the Browns in twenty twenty two. And

Speaker 1: room that you need to be able to make it

514
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: through the rigors of a four month season, five months season,

515
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,320

544
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 1: just eight days out from the NFL Draft. Good afternoon, gentlemen.

545
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 1: It's uh, just trying to catch up on this Deebo

546
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: Samuel news looking for a trade. I mean it's yeah, no,

547
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 1: machine just does not slow down. It's just a constant,

548
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: constant thing. So it's that'll be a fascinating something to watch.

549
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: It will be fascinating. Deebo Samuel a great talent. And

550
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: there is some speculation I've seen on Twitter that all

551
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: of these wide receivers saw what Christian Kirk got paid

552
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: by the Jacksonville Jaguars and said, wait a second, I

553
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: need way more money to stay playing for your football team.

554
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: And and we've seen guys move because of the big deals.

555
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: Tyree killed Davante Adams, and it looks like the next

556
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: one will be Deebo Samon. Which it's hard for me

557
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: to believe you'd want to get away from Kyle as

558
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: an offensive player like he just will get the most

559
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: out of you. But at the same time, I think

560
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: he's about getting paid and perhaps going someplace a little

561
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: more past happy. But does that kind of change as

562
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: you sit out here, does that make it more likely

563
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: than another receiver goes in the first round? Do you

564
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: think one of those first round picks for a team

565
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: maybe that has two will be traded for a Deebo Samuel?

566
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: How do you see it impacting things eight days from now? Yeah?

567
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: And I think part of it with Deebo is he's

568
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: he's tired of being a running back, you know, he

569
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: he wants to be a receiver. Uh. And that's part

570
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: of what makes Deebo so unique as a player. But

571
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: in terms of longevity, in terms of his body holding up, uh,

572
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: you know, I think that's what that that's that's as

573
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: much driving this decision as anything money included. But it

574
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: also speaks to you know, kind of like we were saying,

575
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,479
Speaker 1: all these receivers getting paid, the movement we've seen at

576
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: the position, that's why a lot of teams are looking

577
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: at this wide receiver class and saying, let's get younger,

578
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: let's get cheaper. And it's a it's a top heavy

579
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: group this year, so the talent is there as well,

580
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: where we're gonna see a lot of receivers go in

581
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: the first round. Uh, you know, as early as as

582
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: the top ten, and then it's just it's we're gonna

583
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: see a run. They're gonna fly off the board. We

584
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: could see six, seven, maybe eight receivers go in the

585
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: top top thirty two, and then it's not gonna slow

586
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: down on Friday. Those guys will continue to move on

587
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: in the second round of the draft. So you know

588
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: they're wide receiver is now the second most expensive position

589
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: in the NFL aside from quarterback. Uh, and so's there's

590
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: a team that it's the position that's gonna put points

591
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: on the board. Uh. Wide receiver is definitely the hot

592
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: position right now. It is. And are you starting as

593
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: we get closer, is there kind of a consensus on

594
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: maybe the order in which these guys might come off

595
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: the board, Because I'll tell you, Dan, I've seen Max

596
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: or Jamison Williams is first off the board. I've seen

597
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson first off the board. I've seen Drake London

598
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,719
Speaker 1: first off the board. But a very talented group that

599
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: are getting littered in in the first round. And it's

600
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: I think it's part of a trend where eventually his

601
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver salaries are gonna have to kind of stall

602
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: out because you're getting a ton of studs in the

603
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: draft every single year. It feels like, yeah, and I

604
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: think that's exactly right. It's gonna be a common team

605
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: every single year where we talk about these receivers in

606
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: the way they can help an NFL offense and and

607
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: you know, they're all under the same bucket of wide receivers,

608
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: but these guys are so different and what they offer.

609
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: You know, Drake London is a drastically different player than

610
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: what Jamison Williams gives you as a wide receiver. So

611
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: I think a lot of it depends on each individual team,

612
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: their offense, their scheme, who's already on the roster, you know,

613
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: who they feel like is going to uh complement what

614
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: they already have, and so it's I don't think it's

615
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: as simple as you know, who's the best receiver, because

616
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: each team is gonna look at it a little bit differently.

617
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: Uh Me. Personally, I like Garrett Wilson the best. I

618
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: think that he helps you, especially after the catch, but

619
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: he can get open before the catch as well. He

620
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: plays much bigger than he looks. His body control, Uh,

621
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: he can play through contact, has ball skills, and he's

622
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: still still growing, still developing. He's gonna get better and better.

623
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: But I understand why some teams. I know two teams

624
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: that have Jamison Williams as their number one receiver on

625
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: their board, and it just comes down to the speed.

626
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: It's special, it's different, and you know he he makes

627
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: sec defensive backs look like they're staying still and that's

628
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: just that's not common. So you add dynamic talent like

629
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: that to your offense and defense, it changes the way

630
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: defenses play you because they have to account for Jamison

631
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: Williams on every single play in all the different ways.

632
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: He can beat you with that speed because he's not

633
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: just a track guy. He can get an open underneath,

634
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: he can uh you know, snap off these ninety degree

635
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: cuts and uh still maintain that that speed. And then

636
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: with Drake London, he gives you the size obviously, Uh,

637
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: a huge target has the catch radius, has the lengths

638
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: um so you know, if your quarterbacks not pinpoint accurate,

639
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: just kind of throw it up there where defensive backs

640
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: can't get it, and there's a good chance that Drake

641
00:32:58,160 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: London's coming down with it too. But he also how

642
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: of the lower the lower body flexibility of a smaller player.

643
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: He's not a slug out there. You're worry about the

644
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: vertical separation, but not underneath. He has some of that

645
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: short area quickness. So yeah, these receivers there, there's something

646
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: for everybody. You know, chrisal LaVey and Um trailing Burkes.

647
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: We could go on and on just talking about the

648
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: receivers because there's just such a such a glut of

649
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: these guys in the first and second round. Well and

650
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,959
Speaker 1: for the Browns that will be looking at the second

651
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: round pick number forty four, and we talked about right now.

652
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: If you want to get really in depth on a

653
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: lot of these guys, check out, as I said, our

654
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: draft on tap right now at cleon Browns dot com,

655
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: the Browns app in the YouTube channel YouTube dot com

656
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: slash Browns where Dane goes through. You know about seven

657
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: eight guys that could be in play at forty four

658
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: for the Browns or if they wait until the third round.

659
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: But let's stay at forty four. Uh. A name that

660
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: I think a lot of Browns fans are intrigued by

661
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: is Pickens out of Georgia. You know, are you hearing

662
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: anything pre draft? Some buzz on him. Christian Watson would

663
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: be another, but I think it feels like he's going

664
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: in the first round now I've seen some although by

665
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: the way they have Pickens as their number one receiver

666
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: in this draft class. I think it was great cost

667
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: selling Matt Bowen who said that just a couple of

668
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: days ago, what do you make of the receivers available

669
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: there in that second round and who could potentially be

670
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: in play and pick forty four for the Browns? Just

671
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: you know, talking with teams, Uh it is it has

672
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: not come up that George Pickens in the first Now

673
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean it can't happen. You know, I don't

674
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: know how exactly thirty two teams feel. But um, of

675
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: all the receivers, you know, Pickens have been mostly talked

676
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: about as a second round player, a guy that maybe

677
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: a coin flip whether or not he goes uh top

678
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: forty or if he could be an option there for

679
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: the Browns. But there's a lot to like about him,

680
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: six three pounds in that range, as speed, he's a

681
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: four or four guy. He's a grateful athlete. What you

682
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: love most about him. Is the competitiveness at the catch

683
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,919
Speaker 1: point he can win, Uh, go up and win over

684
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 1: defensive backs. Uh. He's coming off that a c L injury.

685
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 1: And so that's that's part of the conversation as well.

686
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 1: Miss eleven games this year, just you know, is the

687
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: knee in good shape, is it progressing well? Do you

688
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: think you know he'll be a hundred percent in training camp?

689
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 1: And all these questions have to be answered before you

690
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: invest a pick. And a guy like George Pickens, but

691
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,919
Speaker 1: he has wide receiver one traits. He has that type

692
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 1: of ability. It's just there might be a little bit

693
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: more of a projection with him because he is still

694
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: a little bit raw as a route runner and you know,

695
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: coming off the injury, so you know there's question marks,

696
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: but you could absolutely see a trajectory that that you

697
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: know leads George Pickens to being a team's number one

698
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 1: receiver down the road. And what about what do you

699
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: make a Christian Watson? Because you know there are some

700
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 1: drops there You've taught you and I have talked about that.

701
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: But he has a size speed combo that is unique.

702
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: But if you go back through NFL history, you know

703
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 1: there are a lot of guys who have gone in

704
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: the first round, who wore kind of those crazy size

705
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 1: speed guys, but maybe never has manifested itself, you know,

706
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: to be an elite consistent playmaker or do you see

707
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: things on the tape though that lead you to believe

708
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 1: he has an apouly develop into more of a complete

709
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: receiver than kind of a one trick pony. Yeah, I mean,

710
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: Christian Watson has not hit his ceiling yet, so you know,

711
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: you don't want to say that this is what he

712
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: is and what he's going to be, um, but I

713
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: do think it's fair to point out that. Uh So,

714
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 1: Like so when I look at receivers, um, something I'd

715
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: pay attention to is that touchdown to drop ratio. You know,

716
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: ideally you want that uh more touchdowns than drops. With

717
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 1: Christian Watson in his career is fourteen to sixteen, so

718
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:34,439
Speaker 1: more drops than touchdowns. And that's especially at the SCS level.

719
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: You want to see a guy dominate going up against

720
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 1: uh you know, most SCS corners are not going to

721
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: sniff the NFL. You want to be able to see

722
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 1: a guy dominate at that level, and he just doesn't

723
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: consistently do that. For a guy that's six four. He

724
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 1: kind of plays like he's six foot. You know, he

725
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: doesn't consistently use that size to his advantage. Now, you

726
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: love the speed, you love the athletic profile, and he's

727
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,280
Speaker 1: certainly talented, and you know I in the late second,

728
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: early third that that's to me, that's where I would,

729
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: you know, take a chance on him. But he's going

730
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: to go a full round earlier than that, just because

731
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: of the raw measurables and you know that the thought

732
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: of what he could grow into when he gets NFL

733
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: coaching and he gets into an offense that really focuses

734
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: more in the passing games. To that North Dakota State offense,

735
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 1: it was a run first scheme. You know, that's that's

736
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: their bread and butter um, and so it really didn't

737
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: allow him to blossom fully as a receiver. But going

738
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: to an NFL offense, you feel like there's still there's

739
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: there's a chance for him to continue to get better

740
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,839
Speaker 1: and better, and that's what teams are gonna look at

741
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,879
Speaker 1: and when they consider him in that late first, early

742
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,280
Speaker 1: second round and for the brown stick with Dane Brugler,

743
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,240
Speaker 1: the Athletics draft analysts Foum on Twitter at DPE Bruegler.

744
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: You know, for the Browns, you've got, you know, a

745
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: wide receiver coach in Chad O'sha who's amongst the most

746
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 1: respected in the NFL. And I think that that allows them,

747
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 1: if they were to go more on a projection side

748
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:53,439
Speaker 1: of things, to do that and feel like they're gonna

749
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 1: be able to get the best development out of them.

750
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: I mean, nobody's got more out of Davante Parker in

751
00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: his career and he was a first round pick. Then

752
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: at O'Shea did the year he was down with him

753
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: in Miami, was a play caller for that organization. So

754
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: that's a possibility there as we moved kind of into

755
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: third round type of wide receivers. One name I can't

756
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:12,839
Speaker 1: keep getting away from, and we've talked about him a lot.

757
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,399
Speaker 1: Alec Pierce out of Cincinnati reminds a lot of people

758
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: of Jordy Nelson. I love Jordie Nelson. I feel like

759
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 1: that it's somebody that could be that number one X

760
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: receiver for you, What do you make of Alec Pierce

761
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 1: and maybe some of the other options at that position

762
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 1: that would be there in the third round. Yeah, and

763
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 1: you and you love big athletes, and that's what Alex

764
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 1: Pierce's six three, two and eleven pounds. Uh. And you

765
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 1: love guys that come from athletics families. You know, they

766
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,280
Speaker 1: got that background that the bloodlines is. Mom was a

767
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: big time volleyball player at Northwestern. His dad played football

768
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: at Northwestern. His brother uh was an All conference basketball

769
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 1: player uh in college also played for the Tar Heels. UH.

770
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 1: And so you know it's a guy that has a

771
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: lot of ability. Um, it just needs to be needs

772
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: time to develop into a more fleet receiver. Uh. You know,

773
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: add branches to the route tree. Um. You know, show

774
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 1: that he's more than just a guy that's gonna, you know,

775
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: out jump defensive backs for the football he's got. He's

776
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 1: got the leaping skills, no doubt. He was over in

777
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: the vert uh. And you love the straight line speed

778
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,839
Speaker 1: four four one in the forty yard dash. Just an

779
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: outstanding time for a guy that's north of six three. Uh.

780
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: It's kind of, you know a little bit like the

781
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:27,720
Speaker 1: Christian Watson conversation where he's still growing, still developing. Um,

782
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: but you do love the compete skills. He will go

783
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: up and get the football. Uh. And also with him,

784
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: he's got a special team's background. They even tried him

785
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: at linebacker a little bit when he first showed up

786
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 1: there at Cincinnati. But he makes plays on special teams. Uh.

787
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 1: He was used as a gunner on punt coverage. So

788
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things about his profile athleticism, competitiveness,

789
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 1: toughness that those are the things you want to bet on,

790
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: especially when you get to the third round and you're

791
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: looking at wide receiver with traits. Uh. He's a former

792
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: team captain. UH, he's got All American honors, so that

793
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 1: there's a lot like about Alec Pierce and what he

794
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,280
Speaker 1: could develop into when he's part of your wide receiver

795
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 1: room day. And I know you would like that for

796
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,240
Speaker 1: the Browns there in the third round. You've mocked that

797
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: that pick to them at some point, so if that happened,

798
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: let's go back to pick number forty four, And it

799
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 1: feels like this is a great year to want an

800
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: edge rusher in the second round and even into the

801
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 1: third round. But in that second round, that's a spot

802
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 1: that really the Browns could target. Who were some of

803
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 1: the names that you're looking at there and what are

804
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: you hearing around the league about guys that could be

805
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: available at forty four out on the edge. Yeah, you know,

806
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 1: I'm really interested to see just the same as wide receivers,

807
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: but to see that run on edge rushers. You know,

808
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 1: obviously we're gonna see those guys go early with the

809
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: Adan Hutchinson and trevaon Walker came on, Thibodeau, Uh, Jermaine Johnson,

810
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: George Carl loft Is. But who's left? Who who makes

811
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 1: it out of the first round, who makes it to

812
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: the to the mid second round where the Browns to

813
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: be picking. Uh? You know, I like, I don't think

814
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,879
Speaker 1: a boy Mafe or Arnold Becketty make it that quite

815
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 1: that far? Could Logan Hall out of Houston? Who you know?

816
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,360
Speaker 1: I know some people look at him as a defensive tackle,

817
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: a three technique. What's the deal with that? What's the deal?

818
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: Because I've seen that, damn you you have to talk

819
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: called him an edge. I've seen other people call him

820
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: a tackle and I've seen you know, I've mentioned him

821
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: as a guy that Browns could look at on the

822
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 1: edge of people say, hey, he's a he's a tackle. Breakdown,

823
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: Logan Hall? Who is he? How does he project at

824
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 1: this level? Six six pounds? So he has uh the

825
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: size that you could see at both spots. He was

826
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: mostly a three technique at Houston. That that's where he played,

827
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 1: and honestly, when you talk to him, that's where he

828
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: feels the most comfortable. But when he did get reps

829
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,359
Speaker 1: on the outside and you give him a little bit

830
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 1: of a runway and you know, his first two steps

831
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: he accelerates so quickly and he's got that quickness, he's

832
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 1: got the hands, you've got the length. Give him that

833
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,280
Speaker 1: little bit of a runway and he can go through blockers.

834
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,839
Speaker 1: I think he gives you that versatility where he can

835
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: work both inside outside. Ideally, you don't you know, you

836
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: want your defensive tackles not to be six six, you know,

837
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 1: just the leverage issues that you run into. So I

838
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: think that working him at both spots where he can

839
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 1: win gaps with that initial quickness on the inside, he

840
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 1: give him that acceleration the runway on the outside. Use

841
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 1: him at both spots. So Logan Hall, there's a lot

842
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: to like about him in that versatility that that's a

843
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: key part of what he is. And he's a young

844
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 1: player just you know, doesn't turn twenty two for a

845
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 1: couple more days, um, and so I think that with

846
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: you know, more coaching, uh, unlocking how to use his

847
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,800
Speaker 1: hands and uh, you know, just the pad level concerns

848
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 1: things like that. That that's why he could be available

849
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: at forty four. But you're getting a talent on the

850
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 1: way up, a guy that's really developing, uh, and you

851
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 1: think about the trajectory where he's going to be a

852
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: year from now, two years from now, and what he

853
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 1: could mean for your for your defensive line. I think

854
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: it'd be a great fit with what the Browns need

855
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 1: and what they look for in their defensive linemen. Who

856
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: are some other names of halls off the board there

857
00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 1: that you'd be looking at in at edge class. I

858
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: like Drake Jackson quite a bit at the usc UM.

859
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 1: I thought it was really interesting at the combine. He

860
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,839
Speaker 1: was two hundred and fifty four pounds at the pro

861
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: day two d seventy three pounds, so almost twenty pounds. Uh.

862
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,839
Speaker 1: A difference there, and that tells me that scouts are

863
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,439
Speaker 1: telling him, hey, bulk up, uh. Because actually when Drake

864
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: Jackson went to the US he was a freshman. He

865
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 1: was a bigger guy. I mean he was uh someone

866
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 1: that was, you know, carrying two hundred and seventy eight

867
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 1: pounds and then when the new coaching staff came in,

868
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 1: they moved into a linebacker role, so we shed a

869
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: lot of that weight. UH played played more standing up

870
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: and he was fine at that. But I thought he

871
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: was at his best as a freshman where he was

872
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:43,280
Speaker 1: a true defensive end, a guy that had that size

873
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 1: and that I think scouts are agreeing with me based

874
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 1: on my conversations and based on the fact that Drake

875
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,320
Speaker 1: Jackson put on almost twenty pounds to his pro day

876
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,879
Speaker 1: UM and he still has that athleticism. He still has

877
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: the hands, the hand moves, the power at the point

878
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 1: of attack. He can win with bend around the edge,

879
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 1: he can play the run. So Drake Jackson I think

880
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: would be an excellent pick there in the second round.

881
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: He just just turned twenty one years old. Young player. UM,

882
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 1: so there's a lot to like there. Nick the Neeto.

883
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 1: If they're looking for a speed demon off the edge,

884
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 1: someone who can capture the corner with that burst and

885
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 1: that that arc speed, Nick Beneto is the guy. And

886
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 1: now I think there are some questions about as a

887
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 1: run defender. UM, you know, you have to hide him

888
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 1: a little bit, and how are you going to utilize him? UH,

889
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 1: use him as a spy, maybe stand them up. So

890
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 1: you have to be creative. But if you want a

891
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 1: guy that could go and just you know, be disruptive,

892
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 1: force the quarterback to to move his feet and think

893
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: about what's coming off the edge, Nick Benito could be

894
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 1: a fit, yeah, because he's a little undersized, but as

895
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 1: you said, just a demon around the edge, very much

896
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 1: a speed rusher. Um as you think now as he

897
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: kind of gone through and you've talked to teams, are

898
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 1: there some people that you know, you think may surprise

899
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 1: with how early they go or guys who may surprise

900
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:57,839
Speaker 1: with the way they fall. And one thing you could

901
00:44:57,840 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 1: say Andrew Berry has done a very good job of

902
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: doing so far in the second round is getting what

903
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:05,399
Speaker 1: we would all call first round talents at second round

904
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: prices and the Grant Delpat was coming off of an

905
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 1: injury and there are some questions about his tackling. I

906
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: remember that that year, but j Oka was an absolute

907
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 1: shock to still be on the board at that time

908
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 1: and he was going, you know, top fifteen in a

909
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: lot of mocks. Is there a guy like that? Is

910
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: there a guy that you know fits kind of what

911
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 1: the Browns do or what they're looking for the positions

912
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 1: you know of need that maybe makes some sense as

913
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 1: somebody to keep an eye on as a potential day

914
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 1: to steal for Andrew Barry. Yeah, j Okay was my

915
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 1: best player last year and I mean just get him

916
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: where they got him was tremendous. Yeah, no doubt. Um,

917
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:40,800
Speaker 1: you know, I think, yeah, we'll see a few guys,

918
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 1: especially because you know, we've talked about this before how

919
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: the top the upper class is a little thin and

920
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 1: that that middle class is so deep that draft boards

921
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 1: are going to be different from team to team, and

922
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 1: so because of that, we could absolutely see some surprises

923
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:58,320
Speaker 1: in the late first pushing some other good players to

924
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 1: the second round. Uh. Like talking to teams, they think

925
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 1: Tyler Linderbaum, the center from Iowa's gonna slip out of

926
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 1: the first round, which is kind of crazy because he's

927
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:10,359
Speaker 1: such a good player. But some teams are just they're

928
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: they're the lack of length is a big issue for them. Um,

929
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: you know, could that do they have a brown to

930
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 1: have a high enough grade on linder Bomb where they

931
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: would want to make a move like that. Um, you know,

932
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:22,840
Speaker 1: I think that when you look at some of the

933
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 1: positions like linebacker, we could see you know, uh with

934
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: those two Georgia linebackers with Nakobe Dean quay Walker, maybe

935
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: they slip a little bit. We know, David a Jabo

936
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: from Michigan with that injury at a day is not

937
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,919
Speaker 1: going to be probably not gonna be a first round

938
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 1: or more than likely going to be somewhere in the

939
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:44,359
Speaker 1: second round. I'd love to I'd love that. I think

940
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 1: that's the great gamble to take. And I think that

941
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 1: you know, when when you have a team like the

942
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 1: Browns who don't have a first round pick, and then

943
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,320
Speaker 1: if they take a player in the second round who

944
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 1: basically needs a red shirt ear uh, you know, a

945
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 1: lot of fans aren't gonna be happy with that. But

946
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 1: a year from now, you're you know, you look at

947
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 1: that what that means for your defense, and uh, you

948
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 1: know it's it's a it's a tremendous investment. So but

949
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 1: you know, obviously it's a there's a reason of job

950
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 1: that will still be available there at that point in

951
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:11,799
Speaker 1: the draft. And in my mock draft actually had the

952
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:15,240
Speaker 1: Chiefs who have multiple picks in the first three rounds,

953
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 1: so you know, you's a little easier to stomach drafting

954
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 1: a player like that in the second round. But it's

955
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 1: at least part of the conversation they used. The conversation

956
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 1: Brown's the front office and Andrew Berry they need to

957
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,799
Speaker 1: be having and try to try to forecast who could

958
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 1: slip a little bit. And you know they have the

959
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 1: Uh obviously they wish they could be picking on Thursday night,

960
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 1: but you know they can, uh go to bed Thursday night,

961
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:40,439
Speaker 1: wake up Friday morning and restacked the board, see who fell.

962
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 1: Maybe they get a little aggressive with one of those

963
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: third rounders to move up uh five spots, six spots.

964
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 1: We've seen them do it before to to ensure that

965
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 1: they get the guy that they want. Uh. You know,

966
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,879
Speaker 1: there's it's I think you always want more picks, more

967
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 1: bites at the apple, but I mean you put all

968
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 1: the money and resources into scouting for a reason. Be

969
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 1: aggressive of go get your guy. Yeah, and the Browns

970
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 1: have not picked where they were scheduled to pick in

971
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 1: the second round yet the last two years under Andrew Berry.

972
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,320
Speaker 1: The first year you move back a couple of spots,

973
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 1: still get Grant Delpit get a fifth round of it

974
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: turns into Nick Harris, who was slated to be your

975
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 1: starting center this year with the departure j C. Turter

976
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 1: than last year. As you mentioned, you move up, you

977
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: get aggressive, and you go get Jeremiah Owusu Coamoa. Dane,

978
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure that you are thrilled to be kind of

979
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 1: getting close to the finish line turf for you, the

980
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:27,360
Speaker 1: finish lines when you publish The Beast. But it is

998
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 1: your mindset this offseason. What made this feel like the

999
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:51,360
Speaker 1: place that you wanted to continue your career. I mean, obviously,

1000
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 1: give you another opportunity to play in the National Football League,

1001
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 1: which is which is a huge, you know, accomplishment for

1002
00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 1: anybody on any stage of their career. So that was

1003
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: one of the main things. And then you know, um,

1004
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 1: you know, just the the unknown was was was appealing

1005
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 1: to me. So um, you know, provided me with that opportunity, uh,

1006
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 1: to you know, to possibly get a chance because you

1007
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 1: never know, um, you know, you always want to play

1008
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 1: away from starting and and um, you know, and that's

1009
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:22,919
Speaker 1: what I wanted this all season. And and you've been

1010
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:26,319
Speaker 1: with the New England Patriots, the Colts, Miami, now here

1011
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 1: with the Browns. Were there any ties I was trying

1012
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,279
Speaker 1: to chat o'sha was probably still with the Patriots when

1013
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: you were there. But did you really know many people here?

1014
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, Chad, Chad was there when I was

1015
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,800
Speaker 1: in New England. And then uh and Andy. Anthony Walker

1016
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:44,919
Speaker 1: was with me to day, was with me. But other

1017
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:46,840
Speaker 1: than that, I don't really think it was many other

1018
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: other connections, uh, that I had on the team, and

1019
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 1: you and A Walker pretty tight, if I'm not mistaken,

1020
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 1: you flew up together. We're Yeah, we're really really good friends. Yeah.

1021
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,160

1022
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 1: getting to know for the past year and then glad

1023
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:03,880
Speaker 1: that he's back for this year as well. Before we

1024
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 1: get into the football and all of that, I just

1025
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:07,200

00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 1: that become something that was so central to your father?

1049
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 1: I think it was something that uh you know, I

1050
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 1: I kind of crave when I was a kid. Um

1051

00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 1: to just send a big extension the cornerback that you

1071
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:14,799
Speaker 1: no longer have to worry about on the field, which

1072
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 1: is good. He doesn't have to worry about you either.

1073
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:18,840
Speaker 1: You guys can deal that with that. In training campus

1074
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 1: are Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee. And it's

1075
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:24,720
Speaker 1: a big thing. And and the sense that I've gotten

1076
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 1: from being around you know, this organization for ten years,

1077
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:30,919
Speaker 1: like that's one of the few non quote unquote performance

1078
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 1: awards that carries a lot of weight in a locker room. Definitely, definitely,

1079
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:39,760
Speaker 1: And I think that you know when when UM players,

1080
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 1: when you when you see the amount of players in

1081
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 1: the locker room that I wouldn't say guys are competing

1082
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 1: for that a war, but the god the amount of

1083
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 1: guys that actually give back to the two communities and

1084
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 1: and and take pride in to you know, giving back

1085
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:54,240
Speaker 1: and going into those communities, and and and and spending

1086
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:57,440
Speaker 1: their time and their their resources with with the with

1087
00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 1: the community. Um, you see how important things are. And

1088
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:03,920
Speaker 1: whether your nomination or a nominee or the winner, you know,

1089
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't change. I don't think that really changes the

1090
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:08,160
Speaker 1: mindset of the guys that you know, they'll do it

1091
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 1: without the accolade, absolutely, And you've come to an organization

1092
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 1: where that is something that is very very important here,

1093
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:16,279
Speaker 1: right from the top on down, from the haslems on down.

1094
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:18,319
Speaker 1: So I think you'll fit in very well. That way,

1095
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:20,720
Speaker 1: You're gonna fit in very well on the field. Also,

1096
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:22,399
Speaker 1: I was looking at your numbers two years of Starter

1097
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:25,399
Speaker 1: and Indie thirty one touchdowns, thirteen interceptions. That's a great

1098
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 1: touchdown interception ratio. Another five yards rushing through eleven I

1099
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 1: had eleven touchdowns on the ground. What from those kind

1100
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:34,120
Speaker 1: of two seasons where you got that was kind of

1101
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:36,719
Speaker 1: your most extensive starting duty, What did you kind of

1102
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: learn about yourself as a player and to be able

1103
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 1: to put up those kind of efficient numbers that the

1104
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 1: coaches love, right when you're throwing thirty one touchdowns only

1105
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 1: thirteen picks over two seasons. They love that you're taking

1106
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:51,919
Speaker 1: care of the football. Uh, you know, and it's it's uh,

1107
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 1: you know, just taking advantage of opportunities. Uh, and and

1108
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:59,240
Speaker 1: always putting a team first, and and those and those things.

1109
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:03,840
Speaker 1: But always stand ready, you know, in both those situations. Obviously, Um,

1110
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 1: I mean everybody's like to say, thrust into those situations,

1111
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 1: but obviously, um, you know, being able to just come

1112
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:14,960
Speaker 1: in and be prepared and understand, um you know, um

1113
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 1: who I am as a player, who I am as

1114
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:19,919
Speaker 1: a person, and always being ready and being and being

1115
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 1: the guy that you know that whenever my numbers called,

1116
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 1: like the coaches can count me and know that. You

1117
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 1: know that, Um, you know that the organization, the team,

1118
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 1: the offense, the game is is it's no different when

1119
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 1: I'm there than than the guy that they originally wanted.

1120
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:37,440
Speaker 1: But I also hold my myself to a standard that

1121
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 1: you know, I don't look at myself as a quote

1122
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 1: unquote backup, I I can't stand that word personally, but um,

1123
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:47,720
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like I'm a quarterback in this league,

1124
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:51,160
Speaker 1: and when I prisoned, whenever, whenever the opportunity presents itself

1125
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 1: where I'm playing, I think I am consider the starter.

1126
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 1: So I just hold that with me and that in

1127
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 1: my preparation and how I carry myself, because you never

1128
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 1: know when those situations occurred. You know, you certainly do

1129
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 1: never know when those situations occur. And I would imagine

1130
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:07,879
Speaker 1: one of the ones that kind of just jumped right

1131
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:09,920
Speaker 1: at to you. You You go back to your rookie year,

1132
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 1: and if I'm not mistaken, I believe it was a

1133
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 1: Thursday night game against the Texans that you made your

1134
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:18,239
Speaker 1: first start, and that one kind of came out of nowhere, right,

1135
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:20,800
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you're starting, and that was unbelievable.

1136
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 1: You guys go on and you win that one, twenty

1137
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:26,399
Speaker 1: seven to nothing. Yeah. No, I definitely, uh, you know, Uh,

1138
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:29,440
Speaker 1: jim Me got hurt in the game before uh, and

1139
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 1: I finished the game off against the Dolphins, I want

1140
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:34,279
Speaker 1: to say, and then um, you know started that next

1141
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 1: week Thursday night, and then I end up having to

1142
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 1: start the next game. So this league happened so fast. Uh,

1143
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 1: you know, and I realized at a young age, which

1144
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:44,880
Speaker 1: was like, I think it was very beneficial to me, Um,

1145
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:47,799
Speaker 1: because I understood that and uh and I carry that

1146
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:50,600
Speaker 1: with me is because you never know, um, when that

1147
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:52,480
Speaker 1: play is gonna happen or when when your time' is

1148
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 1: gonna be called, so you know, always to be ready.

1149
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 1: Uh and um, you know, I think that suited me

1150
00:56:57,120 --> 00:56:59,879
Speaker 1: well for my career. So I know you're around time

1151
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:01,840
Speaker 1: ready for a brief period time. Your first year in

1152
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 1: the league, he's regarded as one of the best, you know,

1153
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:07,840
Speaker 1: quarterback sneakers in the league. Did he ever divulge any secrets?

1154
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:09,960
Speaker 1: And the reason I asked this because, you know, watching

1155
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:12,480
Speaker 1: the way that you were used at times in Miami,

1156
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 1: you were kind of almost like a short yardage weapon

1157
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 1: for them in this offense at times, and so was

1158
00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:20,680
Speaker 1: that something that you would did you pick up some

1159
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:22,560
Speaker 1: tricks of the trade there? You're a big guy six

1160
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 1: for two thirty, but you're incredible in these short yarded situations. Uh,

1161
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 1: you know, you definitely learned. Uh, you know, it was

1162
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 1: just pretty cool to learn his like, uh, his techniques

1163
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 1: and in his mindset were behind but it ultimately just

1164
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 1: comes down to you know, wanting to get the yard

1165
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 1: and then doing everything you can. Um, I'd like to

1166
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 1: say that it's all my work, but obviously I'm not

1167
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 1: the one pushing the pile and those guys do that

1168
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 1: up front. But uh, but yeah, I mean it's cool though.

1169
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:55,200
Speaker 1: I mean it's by the way. It's when you know

1170
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:57,440
Speaker 1: it's third and one, fourth and one and you're guarant

1171
00:57:57,480 --> 00:57:59,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna get the yard. That's a great weapon to

1172
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 1: have it at a coach's disposal, at a player's disposal,

1173
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 1: and something. I think it's cool the way that you

1174
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 1: embrace that at times, you know in your career saying look,

1175
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:10,120
Speaker 1: I can help this team win, even if it's you

1176
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:12,959
Speaker 1: know you're ready, you're a starter. Absolutely prepare like a starter.

1177
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 1: You've shown that you can be a starter in this

1178
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 1: league and play at a high level, but that you

1179
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 1: can do something that maybe other people just can't do

1180
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 1: what the level you can and it allows you to

1181
00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 1: help your football team win. And definitely and and that's

1182
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 1: what that's like my mind set at any at any

1183
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:27,600
Speaker 1: point in my career where the situation is, you know,

1184
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:29,439
Speaker 1: I'm always gonna do whatever it takes for the team

1185
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 1: to win, uh, with the team before myself obviously in

1186
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 1: every situation and and you know, those those opportunities presented,

1187
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 1: those sales where where where the team needed me to

1188
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 1: do that, and uh, you know it's uh, you know,

1189
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:44,360
Speaker 1: I definitely didn't take it lightly and not trying to

1190
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 1: do those at the best of my ability. You're a

1191
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 1: super Bowl champ, You've been around it, you've seen it,

1192
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 1: you know the way that it needs to be there

1193
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 1: for one of the great super Bowls really in NFL

1194
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 1: history with that comeback against the Falcons. When you look

1195
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:00,880
Speaker 1: at this team, when you look at some of the

1196
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 1: talent that's been amassed here, what is, if there is anything,

1197
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 1: is that kind of secret and greets the NFL? Everybody

1198
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 1: is good, right, every team is good, has has good

1199
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 1: to great players. What's kind of that secret ingredient? I

1200
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 1: know you're you're chasing that quest to get back there again,

1201
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:16,640
Speaker 1: but it's a nice way to start off the career,

1202
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:18,600
Speaker 1: by the way, what is kind of that thing that

1203
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 1: you've kind of gleaned from your time and you're in

1204
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 1: the NFL about what's that little that secret sauce that

1205
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 1: it that extra that allows teams to have that success. Um.

1206
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 1: You know, I wouldn't consider it a secret. I think

1207
00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:35,439
Speaker 1: the thing is to be consistent and be there every

1208
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 1: day and work hard. Uh. And I think that's that's

1209
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:40,520
Speaker 1: really what it is. Uh. And I think that's what

1210
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:44,320
Speaker 1: I've learned, uh throughout that year being in New England.

1211
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 1: It was just like, you know, the thing that that

1212
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:49,600
Speaker 1: the team did was the same things every day and

1213
00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:53,320
Speaker 1: and didn't take those things for for granted. Um. And

1214
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:55,840
Speaker 1: I think every year is totally different, every team is

1215
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:58,880
Speaker 1: totally different. And I think right now we're building those

1216
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:01,840
Speaker 1: those good habits, those those things that we can lean on.

1217
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 1: Our fundamentals are technique, our foundation of the offense of

1218
01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:08,040
Speaker 1: the team, of the defense, of the special teams. I

1219
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 1: think that's what we build right now. And you know,

1220
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 1: I think when when when everybody comes together and we

1221
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 1: believe and we trust those things and that we all

1222
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,000
Speaker 1: know that we're all the same page, I think that's

1223
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:20,960
Speaker 1: what builds, you know, championship teams. I think it's obviously

1224
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:24,080
Speaker 1: too early to tell to tell everything because we haven't

1225
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:27,400
Speaker 1: played the game, but um, I think those are the

1226
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:29,560
Speaker 1: things that you lean on. Is just like, hey, right now,

1227
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:31,919
Speaker 1: what is our objective? And our goal and being able

1228
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:35,160
Speaker 1: to attack that because we ultimately know that our our

1229
01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 1: our final goal is to be a champion. Initial impressions

1230
01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:42,720
Speaker 1: of Kevin Stefanski. You've had an opportunity be around obviously

1231
01:00:42,720 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 1: different head coaches, Bill Belichick, regarded by many as the

1232
01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:46,680
Speaker 1: greatest of all time. What are your kind of initial

1233
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 1: initial impressions of of coach Stefanski. I mean, you can

1234
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:52,360
Speaker 1: obviously tell that he's, uh, you know, he's gonna be

1235
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:54,040
Speaker 1: the same guy every day. You know, he's been the

1236
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 1: same guy since I've met him, when I came on out,

1237
01:00:56,840 --> 01:00:59,080
Speaker 1: when I came up here and talking to him, and

1238
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:01,680
Speaker 1: then being around the last couple of days in the building,

1239
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:04,280
Speaker 1: he's been the same guy every day. And he's talking

1240
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:07,920
Speaker 1: to players and uh, other coaches and other people on

1241
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:10,280
Speaker 1: the staff. You know, everybody always says he's the same

1242
01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:12,440
Speaker 1: guy every day. Which as a player, that's one of

1243
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 1: the things that you want the most is that got

1244
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:17,240
Speaker 1: to be the same guy whether you're winning or losing,

1245
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:20,000
Speaker 1: or your up or down, because you know, you know

1246
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 1: that's somebody that's gonna be the consistent, um, you know,

1247
01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:25,439
Speaker 1: scare of the ship. You know, as the head coach,

1248
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:28,600
Speaker 1: you know that that's uh uh when you know where

1249
01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 1: you stand with the head coach as that trickles down

1250
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:34,880
Speaker 1: and um, you know you obviously um has has had

1251
01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:38,640
Speaker 1: very uh very much success uh in his career as

1252
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 1: a head coach, so um, you know, I'm excited to

1253
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:44,720
Speaker 1: be around him and learn from them. What's it like

1254
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:46,880
Speaker 1: for a veteran like yourself to be able to come

1255
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:49,040
Speaker 1: to an organization where you've got you know, your head

1256
01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:51,480
Speaker 1: coach was a play caller, obviously, that's why one of

1257
01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:52,680
Speaker 1: the reasons he got the job but he did in

1258
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:54,280
Speaker 1: Minnesota was able to come in was the coach of

1259
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:56,600
Speaker 1: the Year two years ago. You've got, you know, the

1260
01:01:56,720 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 1: venerable Bill Callahan, who's been a play caller and head

1261
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 1: coach in his own Chad O'shay was a play caller

1262
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,680
Speaker 1: in Miami. You've got Alex Van peltaner has Benna play

1263
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:07,160
Speaker 1: caller in Cincinnati and has worked with obviously with as

1264
01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:09,520
Speaker 1: a Green Bay coach quarterback coach there with Aaron Rodgers

1265
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:11,240
Speaker 1: for a while. To have so many guys, and then

1266
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:13,480
Speaker 1: in your room Drew Petsing, who has worked his way

1267
01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 1: up kind of very much like Kevin sa fancy get

1268
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:17,680
Speaker 1: an opportunity to come into the quarterback room for the

1269
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 1: first time with you guys, what what's kind of your

1270
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:22,440
Speaker 1: thoughts on the staff like that that works so well

1271
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:26,600
Speaker 1: together but has such an a vast background of experience

1272
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:28,920
Speaker 1: actually doing it at the highest level this league has

1273
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:31,960
Speaker 1: to offer. I think that's I think that's when you

1274
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:35,800
Speaker 1: watch film, you just see how how how collaborator. You

1275
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 1: can tell how collaborative the group is. You know, everybody, um,

1276
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:42,720
Speaker 1: you know has um, you know input into the game

1277
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:46,040
Speaker 1: plans and and you can see that the you know,

1278
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:48,680
Speaker 1: the versatility of the offense and and and being able

1279
01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:50,760
Speaker 1: to call different plays at different times. And you know,

1280
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:54,160
Speaker 1: obviously I had experience with with O'shan and Chad and

1281
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:57,360
Speaker 1: being on the same same wave length for him as well.

1282
01:02:57,480 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 1: And you know, I remember coming in here talking to

1283
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 1: him my first week here, and he was just like,

1284
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 1: you know, we we like you know, input, we like collaborating, collaborating,

1285
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:11,200
Speaker 1: and you know, having all that experience from other players,

1286
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:14,520
Speaker 1: other coaches, um, you know, calling plays and then them

1287
01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:17,520
Speaker 1: trusting the players to give give them ideas. UM, you know,

1288
01:03:17,640 --> 01:03:19,960
Speaker 1: you can understand why. You know, this offense has been

1289
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:21,600
Speaker 1: one of the best offices in the league the last

1290
01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:24,400
Speaker 1: couple of years. Is that cool as a player and

1291
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:26,520
Speaker 1: is that unique? Is that unique to have that kind

1292
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:30,440
Speaker 1: of collaboration and want that much input from players? Definitely,

1293
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:33,440
Speaker 1: because because you know obviously, uh, in this league, you

1294
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:35,600
Speaker 1: know a lot of coaches you know are you know,

1295
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 1: what they know is what they know. Uh, and it's

1296
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:41,640
Speaker 1: hard to to to change and and and uh and

1297
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:45,720
Speaker 1: that's that's that's good and bad at the same time, which, um,

1298
01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:49,560
Speaker 1: you know, being able to collaborate with not only more

1299
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:52,200
Speaker 1: more coaches that have that have called plays and been

1300
01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:54,880
Speaker 1: in been the play caller, but players who are actually

1301
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 1: in the game. Um, and having you know, the guy

1302
01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:01,320
Speaker 1: that's called that's doing the plays has some some say

1303
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 1: so it's pretty cool, pretty unique. So I'm excited to

1304
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 1: see how that will be. Uh And um, you know,

1305
01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:09,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure to sure to turn out well because you know, obviously,

1306
01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:12,440
Speaker 1: Deshan has history playing, Josh has history playing, and you

1307
01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:15,800
Speaker 1: know myself obviously, so it will be pretty cool. You

1308
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:17,840
Speaker 1: just mentioned your quarterback room, and in your press conference

1309
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:20,320
Speaker 1: Laer today you brought something up unprompted that I thought was,

1310
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:22,520
Speaker 1: to use your words, pretty cool and you said it's

1311
01:04:22,560 --> 01:04:24,800
Speaker 1: my first time being in an all black quarterback room.

1312
01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:27,000
Speaker 1: It's pretty cool. I'm not sure if it's it might

1313
01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:29,520
Speaker 1: be the first in league history. I'm not sure about that.

1314
01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:31,400
Speaker 1: We need to get intros program to figure that out.

1315
01:04:31,480 --> 01:04:36,640
Speaker 1: But it is a pretty powerful thing, and I'm not

1316
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:38,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys have discussed it, but

1317
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:40,560
Speaker 1: the fact that you brought it up unprompted means that

1318
01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 1: made an impact on you. Clearly. What is that? What

1319
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:46,160
Speaker 1: does that feel like? What what do you hope to

1320
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 1: accomplish with you know that group? And what is I

1321
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:52,600
Speaker 1: think a historic situation? Yeah, like I said the press,

1322
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:55,720
Speaker 1: I mean it's very unique. It's very cool. Uh, you know,

1323
01:04:55,800 --> 01:05:00,400
Speaker 1: not not too many chances you get something like that,

1324
01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:03,800
Speaker 1: you know where you know whereas black quarterbacks are just

1325
01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:05,920
Speaker 1: not I want to say, just starting. But you know,

1326
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:09,720
Speaker 1: over the over the last you know, pen twelve years

1327
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:12,160
Speaker 1: or getting you know, the respect that we can actually

1328
01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:13,960
Speaker 1: do this position and and then now you get a

1329
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:16,520
Speaker 1: room with you know where it's all black, all black

1330
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:19,480
Speaker 1: guys quarterbacks, Uh in there. It's pretty cool. Uh. You

1331
01:05:19,480 --> 01:05:22,880
Speaker 1: know we haven't you know when in depth about um,

1332
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:25,800
Speaker 1: you know the impact that that is of having a

1333
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:28,640
Speaker 1: group like that which I'm sure we will soon. We

1334
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:30,720
Speaker 1: just have been you know, all over the place for

1335
01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:32,480
Speaker 1: the last couple of days. I'm sure when we sit

1336
01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:35,200
Speaker 1: down and just start like really talking about you know,

1337
01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:38,120
Speaker 1: things that that will come up. You know. It's very unique.

1338
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:41,040
Speaker 1: It's it's like I said, it's very cool, um, you know,

1339
01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:43,560
Speaker 1: and the thing that accomplishes, you know, just to to

1376
01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:46,560
Speaker 1: dot com. Alright, a little bit of news here from

1377
01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:50,320
Speaker 1: the Cross Country Mortgage Campus in Barria. The Browns making

1378
01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:53,120
Speaker 1: a couple of roster moves. They have signed a defensive end,

1379
01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:57,600
Speaker 1: Isaac Rochelle and wide receiver Javon Wims. Rochelle, a Notre

1380
01:07:57,680 --> 01:07:59,840
Speaker 1: Dame product, comes to the Browns after stints with the

1381
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:03,080
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Chargers from two thousand and seventeen to twenty

1382
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:05,200
Speaker 1: where the Charges made him a seventh round pick in

1383
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:07,600
Speaker 1: the twenty seventeen draft, and then last year he was

1384
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:11,480
Speaker 1: with the Indianapolis Colts. Rochelle's appeared in eight and sixty

1385
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:14,160
Speaker 1: three career games. He's got nine starts, eighty six tackles,

1386
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:16,240
Speaker 1: the nine and a half sacks, three p bus and

1387
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:20,200
Speaker 1: one interception in one. He saw action in twelve games,

1388
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:24,599
Speaker 1: posting seventeen tackles for the Indianapolis Colts. Is the Browns? Look,

1389
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:26,360
Speaker 1: they're just filling out this room. I don't think this

1390
01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:30,040
Speaker 1: has anything to do with Jadevian Clowney or the draft plans,

1391
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:32,160
Speaker 1: but when you go into training camp. You typically need

1392
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:36,640
Speaker 1: six to eight defensive ends. You typically have eight in

1393
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:41,479
Speaker 1: training camp. The Browns right now, prior to siding Weatherly

1394
01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:44,360
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago and now Rochelle, they had three.

1395
01:08:44,720 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 1: So now they have five. They've got Miles Garrett Winovic,

1396
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:51,599
Speaker 1: Rochelle Weatherly, and Curtis Weaver. I imagine Clowney is still

1397
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:53,240
Speaker 1: very much in the mix. And I still think every

1398
01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:56,120
Speaker 1: day that goes by is a good day increases the

1399
01:08:56,120 --> 01:08:59,639
Speaker 1: odds for the Browns. The Jadevan Clowney will come back. Uh,

1400
01:08:59,840 --> 01:09:02,040
Speaker 1: and you've got room to draft somebody as well. So

1401
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:04,400
Speaker 1: I wouldn't look into this too much and stuff forget

1402
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:06,040
Speaker 1: they had eight last year in camp. They had eight

1403
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:09,759
Speaker 1: the year before at defensive tackle as well, So that's

1404
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:11,640
Speaker 1: what you need to go into training camp. Browns just

1405
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:14,880
Speaker 1: don't have enough bodies at that spot yet. But Isaac

1406
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:16,960
Speaker 1: Rochelle a guy that has played in this league and

1407
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:19,200
Speaker 1: been in the league for five straight years, and he's

1408
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:21,360
Speaker 1: gonna have an opportunity to compete to try to make

1409
01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:25,840
Speaker 1: this football team. Javon Wims entered the NFL's seventh round

1410
01:09:25,840 --> 01:09:28,360
Speaker 1: pick in twenty two four overall by the Bears. In

1411
01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:31,599
Speaker 1: two thousand and eighteen in his career, twenty eight catches,

1412
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:34,000
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty six yards, two touchdown, thirty three

1413
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:37,560
Speaker 1: career games, seven starts for the Bears. From twenty he

1414
01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:41,760
Speaker 1: spent one on the Raiders practice squad. He went to

1415
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:46,680
Speaker 1: Georgia UH for his college career, and another receiver that

1416
01:09:46,720 --> 01:09:48,160
Speaker 1: the Browns will look that. You know, you gotta get

1417
01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:50,240
Speaker 1: more guys in that room as well, keep people fresh

1418
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:52,160
Speaker 1: for the quarterbacks, and whim's the guy who has a

1419
01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:54,320
Speaker 1: chance now after being able to say that he scored

1420
01:09:54,320 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns in the NFL to try to

1421
01:09:56,240 --> 01:09:59,080
Speaker 1: get back to an active roster after spending last year

1422
01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:02,280
Speaker 1: on the practice squad for the Los Vegas Raiders. When

1444
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:14,680
Speaker 1: say back here, Just like it was good to have

1445
01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:17,320
Speaker 1: the players back here as they arrived in the snow

1446
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:21,680
Speaker 1: Globe yesterday, just to have them in the building, in

1447
01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:24,240
Speaker 1: the weight room, in the classroom. There's an energy that

1448
01:11:24,280 --> 01:11:27,439
Speaker 1: our players bring, so that was awesome to see everybody

1449
01:11:27,439 --> 01:11:30,960
Speaker 1: here and working together. So they're in those meetings throughout

1450
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:33,320
Speaker 1: this week. Phase one. As you know, it's really the

1451
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:36,599
Speaker 1: classroom and the weight room. We'll transition into phase two

1452
01:11:36,640 --> 01:11:38,479
Speaker 1: and a couple of weeks where we'll get out on

1453
01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:40,759
Speaker 1: the field with the players. But uh, you know, again

1454
01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:43,720
Speaker 1: bringing that energy and great to see and with that,

1455
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:48,400
Speaker 1: I'll take any questions you guys have message during these

1456
01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:50,840
Speaker 1: early days with these guys, you're bringing in up a

1457
01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:53,760
Speaker 1: lot of new faces, all kinds of turnover. I think

1458
01:11:53,760 --> 01:11:55,799
Speaker 1: to that point, Tom, you know, with those new faces,

1459
01:11:55,840 --> 01:11:58,920
Speaker 1: you have to come together as a team. Two team

1460
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:02,800
Speaker 1: is different one and that's just the nature of the

1461
01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:05,320
Speaker 1: NFL as we all know. There's new faces, there's new coaches,

1462
01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:08,479
Speaker 1: we have some new staff members moving people around. So

1463
01:12:08,960 --> 01:12:11,400
Speaker 1: part of that is just getting around each other to

1464
01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:13,599
Speaker 1: come together as a team. That's really the number one goal.

1465
01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:16,160
Speaker 1: Now that's not the only goal. We have to teach

1466
01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:18,519
Speaker 1: and reteach our systems. We have to learn and relearn

1467
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:22,360
Speaker 1: our systems. But we want them to know that this

1468
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:27,880
Speaker 1: building and this campus is a safe, competitive, fun place

1469
01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:30,559
Speaker 1: for them to be during this offseason program. Soon. We've

1470
01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:33,120
Speaker 1: spent a little bit more time with Deshaun in the

1471
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:35,520
Speaker 1: last couple of days and just curious about your impressions

1472
01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:38,679
Speaker 1: of him. Yeah, I think he's doing a really nice job.

1473
01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:41,360
Speaker 1: You know, learning the system. He's spending a lot of

1474
01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:44,320
Speaker 1: time with Jacobe and Josh. You know, we really have

1475
01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:48,280
Speaker 1: three new quarterbacks in there. Uh So there's a lot

1476
01:12:48,280 --> 01:12:50,200
Speaker 1: of learning that's going on. There's a lot of teaching,

1477
01:12:50,200 --> 01:12:52,519
Speaker 1: as you can imagine. I think he's doing a nice

1478
01:12:52,600 --> 01:12:55,240
Speaker 1: job of of diving into it and there's really no

1479
01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 1: no way to do it other than to start at

1480
01:12:57,320 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 1: square one and go back over how we all things formations,

1481
01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:05,439
Speaker 1: defensive terminology, etcetera. And he's doing a nice job. He

1482
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:08,280
Speaker 1: had him for about a month now, Kevin, So I'll

1483
01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:14,160
Speaker 1: much different one of the offense look with Sean than Yeah,

1484
01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:16,120
Speaker 1: we've had him for a month, but really we've only

1485
01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:19,720
Speaker 1: been able to talk football in the last week. So

1486
01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:23,000
Speaker 1: we're just diving into that. We're we're we're talking as

1487
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:26,200
Speaker 1: a staff, we're talking with de Sean understanding some of

1488
01:13:26,240 --> 01:13:29,120
Speaker 1: our concepts that we're tweaking and and those type of things.

1489
01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:33,120
Speaker 1: So those are ongoing, but it's April will continue to

1490
01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:37,439
Speaker 1: work through all of that this spring. What's been the

1491
01:13:37,479 --> 01:13:41,320
Speaker 1: interaction with Bacon Rayfield? What do you what are your plans?

1492
01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:43,400
Speaker 1: Do you expect to see him? Has he been told

1493
01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:46,120
Speaker 1: not to show up? Yeah, Tony, I'd tell you that's

1494
01:13:46,120 --> 01:13:50,240
Speaker 1: a unique situation. It's fluid um and we'll just continue

1495
01:13:50,240 --> 01:13:56,000
Speaker 1: to work through it as we go each day. I mean,

1496
01:13:56,040 --> 01:13:59,080
Speaker 1: you don't expect them here. It's a voluntary program. You

1497
01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:01,800
Speaker 1: know what we won't do is we won't say who's here,

1498
01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:04,400
Speaker 1: who's not here. It's it's voluntary. The guys that show

1499
01:14:04,439 --> 01:14:06,320
Speaker 1: up were excited that they're here. We're excited to work

1500
01:14:06,360 --> 01:14:09,759
Speaker 1: with them. But you know, guys that we're here yesterday,

1501
01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:12,960
Speaker 1: might be here Monday. Guys come in throughout the week.

1502
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:15,360
Speaker 1: So we're just gonna make sure that the guys are here,

1503
01:14:15,840 --> 01:14:22,000
Speaker 1: that we're working hard. Characterized the attendance so far, it's

1504
01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:25,840
Speaker 1: been good. Is that? How's that? You're the word Smith, Tony.

1505
01:14:26,600 --> 01:14:29,920
Speaker 1: I think more than anything, Tony, I think it's fun

1506
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:31,640
Speaker 1: that the guys are back in the building. This is

1507
01:14:31,680 --> 01:14:34,559
Speaker 1: really the first phase one that I've had with with

1508
01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:37,520
Speaker 1: the guys, and you can't do a ton of football

1509
01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:40,439
Speaker 1: other than the classroom. But I just think there's there's

1510
01:14:40,479 --> 01:14:43,760
Speaker 1: great value in them working out with their teammates in here,

1511
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:47,479
Speaker 1: developing those relationships, which, as we all know, we're hard

1512
01:14:47,920 --> 01:14:50,840
Speaker 1: when we weren't together, and then we're even hard when

1513
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:52,800
Speaker 1: we were in the building and you had to spread out,

1514
01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:55,080
Speaker 1: and you had to have the locker rooms were spread out,

1515
01:14:55,160 --> 01:14:57,759
Speaker 1: and and you had the plastic up in between the lockers.

1516
01:14:57,800 --> 01:15:01,240
Speaker 1: So I think those barriers so to week are down, uh,

1517
01:15:01,280 --> 01:15:03,040
Speaker 1: and it's such an important time to come together as

1518
01:15:03,080 --> 01:15:09,960
Speaker 1: a team. Obviously overhauled quarterback room, the skill set, athleticism

1519
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:12,600
Speaker 1: and so forth. Do you feel like you have to

1520
01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:16,680
Speaker 1: overhaul your system or can you can you just like

1521
01:15:16,880 --> 01:15:19,880
Speaker 1: aft and pivot to that skill set. Well, I think

1522
01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:24,599
Speaker 1: we definitely have to adapt to our players, and certainly

1523
01:15:24,640 --> 01:15:28,599
Speaker 1: the quarterback is so important in what we do, so

1524
01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:31,439
Speaker 1: we will make sure that we do what DeShawn does best,

1525
01:15:31,520 --> 01:15:34,080
Speaker 1: what the quarterback room does best. So those are the

1526
01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:36,879
Speaker 1: type of things that we're working through as we study,

1527
01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:41,800
Speaker 1: as we've studied uh DeShawn and Jacoby and Josh and

1528
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:44,479
Speaker 1: understand what those guys do best and make sure that

1529
01:15:44,520 --> 01:15:49,160
Speaker 1: we can do that UM come September. To get there, though,

1530
01:15:49,240 --> 01:15:51,120
Speaker 1: there's a lot of meetings, there's a lot of installed,

1531
01:15:51,120 --> 01:15:53,600
Speaker 1: there's a lot of practice that has to occur to

1532
01:15:53,800 --> 01:15:57,800
Speaker 1: ultimately tell you how much we will change with the

1533
01:15:57,840 --> 01:16:00,640
Speaker 1: Denzel extension. UM. Just what that mean to you to

1534
01:16:00,680 --> 01:16:02,559
Speaker 1: have him kind of locked in both on and off

1535
01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:04,360
Speaker 1: the field. What does he mean to this team? Yeah,

1536
01:16:04,360 --> 01:16:07,639
Speaker 1: I think it's outstanding for Denzel, for his family. He's

1537
01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:11,519
Speaker 1: earned it the way he's played, the way he's conducted

1538
01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:15,160
Speaker 1: himself off the field, what he's done in our community. Uh.

1539
01:16:15,200 --> 01:16:19,000
Speaker 1: He speaks to uh the type of culture that that

1540
01:16:19,600 --> 01:16:22,479
Speaker 1: that the hasm family has in this community, and and

1541
01:16:22,520 --> 01:16:25,439
Speaker 1: Denzel just embodies that. So excited to lock him up.

1542
01:16:25,439 --> 01:16:27,920
Speaker 1: He's a good football player at a really premium position.

1543
01:16:28,640 --> 01:16:30,640
Speaker 1: Head coach Kevin Stefanski right here on the home of

1544
01:16:30,680 --> 01:16:34,000
Speaker 1: the Browns in that black and Yeah, I think you

1545
01:16:34,040 --> 01:16:37,360
Speaker 1: know he's going into what year is he going into five? Yeah?

1546
01:16:37,439 --> 01:16:40,680
Speaker 1: So I think he's certainly found his voice from a

1547
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:44,400
Speaker 1: leadership position from playing so much football and the guy's

1548
01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:46,760
Speaker 1: respect him. He he he puts the work in, he

1549
01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:49,920
Speaker 1: plays hard, does it the right way. So I think

1550
01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:52,519
Speaker 1: he's certainly developing his own voice. Going back to de

1551
01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:55,599
Speaker 1: Seauan and even Amari. Is there excitement as a coach

1552
01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:57,880
Speaker 1: to have new guys that you can you know, find

1553
01:16:57,880 --> 01:17:00,000
Speaker 1: stuff or you know, just trying to get the best

1554
01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:03,120
Speaker 1: out of the offense. That exciting to change some stuff. Absolutely,

1555
01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:06,519
Speaker 1: I think for our coaching staff, I think anytime we

1556
01:17:07,240 --> 01:17:10,280
Speaker 1: add a new player, we really go into that room

1557
01:17:10,360 --> 01:17:12,040
Speaker 1: and put the tape on and get on the board

1558
01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:14,760
Speaker 1: and talk about what we can do with those players. Now,

1559
01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:17,000
Speaker 1: as I've said to a VP many times, there's no

1560
01:17:17,040 --> 01:17:19,200
Speaker 1: shortage of plays. You can put a lot of plays

1561
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:21,599
Speaker 1: up there. But it's more about what do our guys

1562
01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:25,360
Speaker 1: do best and how can we uh utilize them so

1563
01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:27,000
Speaker 1: that they're they're doing their best so and a guy

1564
01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:30,320
Speaker 1: like Amari, for instance, the routes he runs, where do

1565
01:17:30,360 --> 01:17:32,280
Speaker 1: we want to line them up? And those are the

1566
01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:35,040
Speaker 1: type of conversations that you have when you acquire Amari

1567
01:17:35,400 --> 01:17:37,280
Speaker 1: And now it's a matter of putting that into practice.

1568
01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:39,920
Speaker 1: And again phase one is just the classroom. We can't

1569
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:41,680
Speaker 1: yet get on the field with him, but there will

1570
01:17:41,720 --> 01:17:44,000
Speaker 1: be a time for that. I suppose everything. But like

1571
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:45,760
Speaker 1: when you look at de Shan, is there something that

1572
01:17:46,240 --> 01:17:48,760
Speaker 1: one particular area that you're really excited to be able

1573
01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:51,960
Speaker 1: to get to work with them on? Not one, No,

1574
01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:53,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't tell you one particular. I think it's a

1575
01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:58,720
Speaker 1: body of work with him. Input will DeShawn have in

1576
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:01,479
Speaker 1: the kind of offense he's going to run. And how

1577
01:18:01,600 --> 01:18:04,639
Speaker 1: is that looking between the two of you now in

1578
01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:07,759
Speaker 1: terms of you know, working on the playbook and adding

1579
01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:10,639
Speaker 1: things that he really likes. Yeah, I think Mary kay

1580
01:18:10,680 --> 01:18:13,800
Speaker 1: with the quarterback, you do want this to be a collaboration. Uh.

1581
01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:16,439
Speaker 1: And and it's really all quarterbacks are different and you

1582
01:18:16,479 --> 01:18:18,720
Speaker 1: want to make sure you meet them where they are.

1583
01:18:19,479 --> 01:18:22,439
Speaker 1: Deshaun is very open minded to trying different things that

1584
01:18:22,479 --> 01:18:26,599
Speaker 1: he hasn't done. Similarly, we're very open minded to putting

1585
01:18:26,600 --> 01:18:28,720
Speaker 1: in schemes that he has a lot of success in

1586
01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:32,720
Speaker 1: that we haven't done, for instance. So it's an ongoing conversation.

1587
01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:34,479
Speaker 1: But just I would tell you a day in and

1588
01:18:34,600 --> 01:18:36,839
Speaker 1: day out with him, just spending time with him yesterday

1589
01:18:36,840 --> 01:18:41,559
Speaker 1: and today. Uh. He wants to uh certainly grow as

1590
01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:45,200
Speaker 1: a player. Uh, and he wants to try different concepts.

1591
01:18:45,240 --> 01:18:48,479
Speaker 1: And I think that's the beauty of the spring. And

1592
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:51,519
Speaker 1: you know, if you call May and June, where you

1593
01:18:51,560 --> 01:18:53,519
Speaker 1: can get out on the field and it's somewhat of

1594
01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:56,040
Speaker 1: a laboratory and you try those things out and see

1595
01:18:56,040 --> 01:18:57,559
Speaker 1: what fits. And there's gonna be a bunch of things

1596
01:18:57,560 --> 01:18:59,240
Speaker 1: that we hope fit and you take that in the

1597
01:18:59,240 --> 01:19:02,439
Speaker 1: training camp and certain things that maybe he doesn't love

1598
01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:05,120
Speaker 1: you know, you don't do because it's just ultimately what

1599
01:19:05,280 --> 01:19:08,720
Speaker 1: our quarterback is most comfortable doing. They got asked a

1600
01:19:08,720 --> 01:19:11,200
Speaker 1: similar question about de Shaun. But just in these few

1601
01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:12,960
Speaker 1: weeks that you guys have had him, are whatever your

1602
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:15,120
Speaker 1: first impressions bene him and what are you most excited

1603
01:19:15,160 --> 01:19:17,559
Speaker 1: about in terms of his skill set? Yeah, Coop has

1604
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:23,880
Speaker 1: been great, very responsive to to coaching. Um he mari

1605
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:26,160
Speaker 1: as you guys will will know, maybe do know. He's

1606
01:19:26,200 --> 01:19:28,760
Speaker 1: not the loudest guy in the room, but he's very

1607
01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:33,800
Speaker 1: very thoughtful, very very intelligent, has been productive really every

1608
01:19:33,840 --> 01:19:36,599
Speaker 1: year he's been in this league. Is a good teammate.

1609
01:19:37,240 --> 01:19:40,479
Speaker 1: Just watching him work there in the weight room and

1610
01:19:40,680 --> 01:19:42,840
Speaker 1: seeing him around his teammates, I think he's a guy

1611
01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:45,200
Speaker 1: that that really works hard. He puts in the work.

1612
01:19:45,240 --> 01:19:47,080
Speaker 1: He's not somebody that's skirting around the work in any

1613
01:19:47,120 --> 01:19:50,880
Speaker 1: way more and today he mentioned a value had his

1614
01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:52,920
Speaker 1: Harper program for the first time. He is it more

1615
01:19:52,920 --> 01:19:56,080
Speaker 1: excess and those are more team chemistry? Yeah, I don't know,

1616
01:19:56,760 --> 01:20:00,320
Speaker 1: it's both. Whatever the breakdown is, it's definitely both because

1617
01:20:00,760 --> 01:20:05,160
Speaker 1: I just think, uh, we've all been through that virtual

1618
01:20:05,280 --> 01:20:07,880
Speaker 1: remote world and and it's doable. It's just it's hard,

1619
01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:10,920
Speaker 1: and I think there's just such great value uh and

1620
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:14,160
Speaker 1: guys sitting down and breaking bread together, you know, which

1621
01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:16,760
Speaker 1: seems simple, but we haven't done it. So to have

1622
01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:19,439
Speaker 1: the guys in the cafeteria, to have them in the

1623
01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:22,000
Speaker 1: locker room together, in the weight room, the classroom, it's

1624
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:25,680
Speaker 1: just putting people each other and starting to develop those relationships.

1625
01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:30,320
Speaker 1: It's really important. Three of your quarterbacks share some physical characteristics.

1626
01:20:30,400 --> 01:20:36,400
Speaker 1: They're bigger, mobal, it's run with the ball. It's not coincidence, right.

1627
01:20:36,560 --> 01:20:38,919
Speaker 1: Why did you feel the need to reshape your quarterback

1628
01:20:39,040 --> 01:20:43,400
Speaker 1: room physically? Yeah? I think we felt like we added

1629
01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:46,680
Speaker 1: three good players and and ultimately they do share some

1630
01:20:47,520 --> 01:20:51,760
Speaker 1: skill sets Tony, not not not all the exact same

1631
01:20:51,960 --> 01:20:54,800
Speaker 1: in that regard, but certainly, like you mentioned, bigger, a

1632
01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:59,320
Speaker 1: little bit more athletic, the three guys together. But ultimately

1633
01:20:59,400 --> 01:21:01,599
Speaker 1: it's it's what those three guys do best, and there's

1634
01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:04,160
Speaker 1: certainly a thread of things that they do well that

1635
01:21:04,320 --> 01:21:08,000
Speaker 1: we want to make sure that we're utilizing. Sean addressed

1636
01:21:08,040 --> 01:21:11,240
Speaker 1: the team yesterday or today. I'm not going to get

1637
01:21:11,320 --> 01:21:14,439
Speaker 1: into what guys are talking about. Scott. Necessarily, I would

1638
01:21:14,439 --> 01:21:17,080
Speaker 1: tell you he's done a nice job being around the guys.

1639
01:21:17,720 --> 01:21:19,360
Speaker 1: He told you that he's gonna have to miss some

1640
01:21:19,439 --> 01:21:22,320
Speaker 1: of the voluntary program um for any of the legal

1641
01:21:22,400 --> 01:21:24,240
Speaker 1: things that are still going on in Texas or just

1642
01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:25,960
Speaker 1: he expected to be here the all time. Yeah, I

1643
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:28,519
Speaker 1: think we'll work through those type of things. As you know,

1644
01:21:28,600 --> 01:21:31,680
Speaker 1: there's ongoing proceedings and we'll make sure that we work

1645
01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:35,200
Speaker 1: through those. Im sure the guys avoid all these distractions

1646
01:21:35,240 --> 01:21:37,840
Speaker 1: that are gonna be swirling around. They are and they're

1647
01:21:37,880 --> 01:21:40,840
Speaker 1: gonna be for real. Ale. Yeah, I think Marlow, that's

1648
01:21:40,880 --> 01:21:44,280
Speaker 1: what our guys do really well. They're professionals and they

1649
01:21:44,360 --> 01:21:46,719
Speaker 1: know that when we're in the building, we've we focus

1650
01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:48,360
Speaker 1: on what's in front of us, whether it's in the

1651
01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:50,760
Speaker 1: classroom or the weight room, and eventually when we're out

1652
01:21:50,800 --> 01:21:53,479
Speaker 1: in the field. That's that's been being a pro is

1653
01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:56,000
Speaker 1: making sure when you're in this building, uh, you're here

1654
01:21:56,040 --> 01:21:58,479
Speaker 1: to work, and that's what the guys are doing. Check

1655
01:21:58,520 --> 01:22:00,439
Speaker 1: the baker for a second. Last week. He had some

1656
01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:03,760
Speaker 1: pretty strong comments about feeling disrespected by the team. I

1657
01:22:03,840 --> 01:22:07,160
Speaker 1: was just wondering your reaction to hearing that. I'm not

1658
01:22:07,160 --> 01:22:09,240
Speaker 1: going to get into the specifics of those type of things.

1659
01:22:09,320 --> 01:22:12,799
Speaker 1: Tom Again, it's a it really is a unique situation

1660
01:22:13,160 --> 01:22:16,200
Speaker 1: and we'll just work through it. It's earlier and down

1661
01:22:16,200 --> 01:22:20,280
Speaker 1: the team bonding, cammag react as you're as you're any

1662
01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:23,840
Speaker 1: training programs in the OKA. Have you had a chance

1663
01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:26,560
Speaker 1: to look back at that last year in terms of

1664
01:22:26,800 --> 01:22:28,960
Speaker 1: the injuries and the approach to that if you're doing

1665
01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:32,000
Speaker 1: these training programs and so, what is that point you Yeah,

1666
01:22:32,040 --> 01:22:35,479
Speaker 1: We've spent a lot of time on that front as

1667
01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:40,240
Speaker 1: an organization and we certainly uh wanted to address those

1668
01:22:40,360 --> 01:22:43,160
Speaker 1: things that came up and and as you know, sometimes

1669
01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:46,720
Speaker 1: soft tissue injuries and are are unavoidable. We want to

1670
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:49,040
Speaker 1: avoid the ones that we can. So we'll continue to

1671
01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:51,439
Speaker 1: try to be smart with our players when they're in

1672
01:22:51,560 --> 01:22:54,320
Speaker 1: this building, utilizing the resources that we have in this building,

1673
01:22:54,320 --> 01:22:56,559
Speaker 1: them being smart when we are not in the building,

1674
01:22:56,600 --> 01:22:59,000
Speaker 1: and when they leave here to go work out in

1675
01:22:59,040 --> 01:23:01,800
Speaker 1: the summertime before and camp, being smart about what they're doing.

1676
01:23:01,880 --> 01:23:05,520
Speaker 1: But it's it definitely, uh, we want to be intentional

1677
01:23:06,040 --> 01:23:09,439
Speaker 1: about anything we do when it comes to injury prevention. Yet,

1678
01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:11,960
Speaker 1: if you are able to bring in more of those resources,

1679
01:23:12,200 --> 01:23:14,760
Speaker 1: that was a point in last season where it was

1680
01:23:14,840 --> 01:23:17,519
Speaker 1: kind of limited on who you could bring in and

1681
01:23:17,600 --> 01:23:19,439
Speaker 1: what kind of protects you could. Yeah, I think you're

1682
01:23:19,479 --> 01:23:24,880
Speaker 1: definitely gonna see around the league that that buildings are

1683
01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:28,240
Speaker 1: more open to having those type of resources. And I think,

1684
01:23:28,360 --> 01:23:30,680
Speaker 1: like I mentioned you guys, I think a couple of

1685
01:23:30,680 --> 01:23:32,639
Speaker 1: weeks back, you'll see what we're doing in this building

1686
01:23:33,160 --> 01:23:35,960
Speaker 1: in the next couple of days to address some of

1687
01:23:36,040 --> 01:23:38,799
Speaker 1: those things. The reconverted room that you guys are building

1688
01:23:38,840 --> 01:23:41,840
Speaker 1: in the old weight room, how much that was a

1689
01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:44,639
Speaker 1: result of that feedback that we had asked you about

1690
01:23:44,680 --> 01:23:46,320
Speaker 1: it the end of the season and you got from

1691
01:23:46,360 --> 01:23:50,600
Speaker 1: players and just you know, what's your expectation impact that

1692
01:23:50,680 --> 01:23:53,080
Speaker 1: that's going to happen once you guys get that gone. Yeah.

1693
01:23:53,439 --> 01:23:57,200
Speaker 1: I wouldn't necessarily characterize it that way, Darryl, that it

1694
01:23:57,280 --> 01:23:59,280
Speaker 1: was a direct response to to those type of things.

1695
01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:01,800
Speaker 1: I just think it was the uh, you know, a

1696
01:24:02,080 --> 01:24:07,720
Speaker 1: great vision by people in this building, support from ownership

1697
01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:11,479
Speaker 1: to better think about that space. Uh. You know, when

1698
01:24:11,479 --> 01:24:13,439
Speaker 1: I first got here, we never thought we'd move the

1699
01:24:13,479 --> 01:24:16,519
Speaker 1: weight room full time into the indoor facility, and we've

1700
01:24:16,560 --> 01:24:18,680
Speaker 1: done that, uh, and I think we've even done it

1701
01:24:18,760 --> 01:24:21,680
Speaker 1: better in the last couple of weeks as we've reimagined

1702
01:24:21,760 --> 01:24:23,880
Speaker 1: that space. So that was part of it, getting some

1703
01:24:23,960 --> 01:24:25,920
Speaker 1: smart people together and talking about how we could better

1704
01:24:26,040 --> 01:24:28,479
Speaker 1: utilize that space. I'm not one of those smart people

1705
01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:30,400
Speaker 1: to talk to you about exactly what they did, but

1706
01:24:30,800 --> 01:24:33,439
Speaker 1: in due time we'll have somebody talked through that. Do

1707
01:24:33,560 --> 01:24:35,800
Speaker 1: you like about PRIs Sette? Why didn't you feel you

1708
01:24:35,880 --> 01:24:39,040
Speaker 1: needed to make a move there versus the Keenan trade? Yeah.

1709
01:24:39,320 --> 01:24:43,320
Speaker 1: Jacoby is a young football player who has played a

1710
01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:47,599
Speaker 1: good amount of games, understands how to win, has really

1711
01:24:47,640 --> 01:24:51,360
Speaker 1: been in some different systems that have allowed him to

1712
01:24:51,439 --> 01:24:55,439
Speaker 1: grow in his football intelligence. Really quality person. I think

1713
01:24:55,479 --> 01:24:56,920
Speaker 1: you guys are gonna get a chance to talk to

1714
01:24:57,040 --> 01:25:00,840
Speaker 1: Jacoby in a little bit. Quality person, very very intelligent.

1715
01:25:01,240 --> 01:25:03,960
Speaker 1: I just felt like his skill set was something that

1716
01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:10,080
Speaker 1: would match up real well with our offense received Deshaun Watson.

1717
01:25:10,240 --> 01:25:12,280
Speaker 1: Just in terms of, you know, some of the off

1718
01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:15,919
Speaker 1: the field stuff. Are you noticing that he's being embraced

1719
01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:20,720
Speaker 1: by his teammates and what's the energy like amongst them? Yeah,

1720
01:25:20,760 --> 01:25:23,360
Speaker 1: I certainly think he's being embraced by his teammates. Mary Kay,

1721
01:25:23,720 --> 01:25:26,080
Speaker 1: you know, we're in day two of the off season program,

1722
01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:29,400
Speaker 1: so I think it's like any player on your team

1723
01:25:29,479 --> 01:25:32,360
Speaker 1: that's new, it takes time to develop relationships. And I

1724
01:25:32,439 --> 01:25:34,840
Speaker 1: think now is that time. So what they do in

1725
01:25:34,920 --> 01:25:38,040
Speaker 1: the building here, when they go leave this building, spending

1726
01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:42,600
Speaker 1: time together, I think those things happen naturally more. Have

1727
01:25:42,680 --> 01:25:45,600
Speaker 1: you encouraged have you encouraged to Shawn to approach the

1728
01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:49,240
Speaker 1: topic of his legal situation with his new teammates as

1729
01:25:49,280 --> 01:25:51,560
Speaker 1: he tries to build relationships. Yeah, I'm not going to

1730
01:25:51,640 --> 01:25:53,760
Speaker 1: get into specifics there, Nate, but I would tell you

1731
01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:57,080
Speaker 1: with all of our new players, when you're first around

1732
01:25:57,120 --> 01:26:00,439
Speaker 1: your teammates, there there's a process that you go through

1733
01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:03,200
Speaker 1: and getting to understand people, and uh, you can't do

1734
01:26:03,360 --> 01:26:05,800
Speaker 1: that all at once and and and meet with the

1735
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:08,320
Speaker 1: entire to have lunch with the entire team type of thing.

1736
01:26:08,439 --> 01:26:11,360
Speaker 1: But over time, I think Deshaun, like all of our

1737
01:26:11,400 --> 01:26:13,840
Speaker 1: new players, understand that you have to spend time at it.

1738
01:26:13,880 --> 01:26:19,080
Speaker 1: When you're talking about developing relationships. Uh, Browns gained any

1739
01:26:19,200 --> 01:26:24,000
Speaker 1: better understanding about when a suspension UH decision might be

1740
01:26:24,600 --> 01:26:27,400
Speaker 1: determined by the league. I don't have an answer for

1741
01:26:27,520 --> 01:26:32,880
Speaker 1: that right now. Was Jacoby's Jack conflict? You know, I

1742
01:26:32,920 --> 01:26:35,800
Speaker 1: don't know if he's course, and he's working really hard.

1743
01:26:35,880 --> 01:26:38,479
Speaker 1: He's I don't have a date for you, but he's

1744
01:26:38,520 --> 01:26:41,519
Speaker 1: on schedule with everything. He's doing a nice job. How

1745
01:26:41,600 --> 01:26:46,360
Speaker 1: valuable is Jacoby starting the experience given the possibility? Yeah,

1746
01:26:46,360 --> 01:26:47,880
Speaker 1: I think it's it's valuable. I think you have a

1747
01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:50,360
Speaker 1: young player that's played a good amount of football in

1748
01:26:50,520 --> 01:26:54,519
Speaker 1: his career. He's won games, he understands how to play

1749
01:26:54,560 --> 01:26:56,519
Speaker 1: the position, he understands how to take care of the ball,

1750
01:26:56,640 --> 01:26:59,559
Speaker 1: how to lead, he understands how to win without getting

1751
01:26:59,560 --> 01:27:02,400
Speaker 1: any rep in a given week. So he's done a

1752
01:27:02,479 --> 01:27:04,120
Speaker 1: nice job. He's been a starter in a backup. I

1753
01:27:04,280 --> 01:27:08,439
Speaker 1: just think there's value with with that position, understanding his

1754
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:11,040
Speaker 1: role and understand that his role can change in a

1755
01:27:11,160 --> 01:27:17,360
Speaker 1: moment's notice, potential suspension looming. How does that change your

1756
01:27:17,400 --> 01:27:19,880
Speaker 1: approach with your new quarterback room as a as a

1757
01:27:20,000 --> 01:27:22,880
Speaker 1: coach and trying to plan ahead. Imagine it's about a

1758
01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:27,200
Speaker 1: challenge to get these guys obviously ready to stool, right. Yeah.

1759
01:27:27,560 --> 01:27:30,439
Speaker 1: I think that's part of our job is to get

1760
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:33,720
Speaker 1: to plan that everybody's gonna be ready to play, and

1761
01:27:33,800 --> 01:27:36,960
Speaker 1: then as more information becomes available, then we can adjust

1762
01:27:37,760 --> 01:27:43,040
Speaker 1: how we structure practice, how we structure. Uh, you know, rotations,

1763
01:27:43,120 --> 01:27:46,720
Speaker 1: those type of things. But absent that information, you know,

1764
01:27:46,920 --> 01:27:50,320
Speaker 1: I can't really speculate just yet, but certainly, as more

1765
01:27:50,360 --> 01:27:54,040
Speaker 1: information comes out, we'll be ready to address, adjust and

1766
01:27:54,120 --> 01:27:57,000
Speaker 1: address any new information. All right. That's head coach Kevin

1767
01:27:57,080 --> 01:27:58,920
Speaker 1: Steffans get the podium. Was talking a lot at the

1768
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:01,200
Speaker 1: end right there about jack be Brissette. And if you
