1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: How much are you looking forward to playing against the

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: team that you drafted you and maybe making this a

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: little bit of a revenge game here. Uh, you know what,

4
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 1: I haven't really thought about that. We'll see how it

5
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: goes with DJ. Um. You know, I think for us

6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: this is a really tough opponent. Uh. They can they

7
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: have the capability to score a lot of points. Uh,

8
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 1: and you know, we we know how good their defense is,

9
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: especially up front. They put a lot of pressure on

10
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: the quarterback and um, you know we we've got our

11
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: we've got our hands full with them, and um we

12
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: we've unfortunately you get to practice yesterday, but had had

13
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: a good practice today and hopefully we can get get

14
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: a little bit more work in tomorrow before the game.

15
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 1: Hey cool, Um, how much more work did you get

16
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: this week that maybe last week when when Daniel you know,

17
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: had the one injury instead of the two. Yeah. Um,

18
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: like I mentioned earlier, we we hadn't been out on

19
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: the field that much. You know, Wednesday was to walk through. Uh,

20
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: we were off on Thursday because of the all the

21
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: situations went on here and and uh you know, back

22
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: on the field today. So UM, you know what, we'll

23
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: see how DJ is feeling. We I don't know, um,

24
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: you know, but we've we've just been at home and

25
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: and studying and watching a lot of tape. And one

26
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: thing I know is that these guys are really good.

27
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: They rushed the pasture and I can't hold onto the ball,

28
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: and um, you know, we'll we'll see where We'll see

29
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: where we are tomorro. Hopefully we get another workout in

30
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: tomorrow and and go from there. How did DJ look

31
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: to you? He look good? It look good to me,

32
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: M Coles. How are you doing? Bas When you played

33
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 1: against Seattle? Was the game plan not to throw as

34
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: much because it seemed like you didn't push it down field?

35
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: Or is that what they were giving you? Um? The

36
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: game playing kind of involved in the Seattle game, I

37
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: didn't really know where it was gonna go, and it

38
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: ended up being a lot of big personnel. Um. And

39
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: so that's that's just kind of how the game evolved. Obviously,

40
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: we like to take shots, we'd like to push the

41
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: ball down the field. Um, But I think during that

42
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: game it just didn't. It didn't present itself. We were

43
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: doing a lot of things on the ball and big

44
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: people and that that's what was So it was kind

45
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: of working as a quarterback. Is that the easiest way

46
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: to play when you're getting you are? Didn't you with

47
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 1: the run? Just stick with it. I'm I'm believer in

48
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 1: whatever is working. But let that work. Uh, you know,

49
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: I I believe in our receivers. I believe in our

50
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: running backs. I believe in our guys up front. And uh,

51
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: you know, our call sheets pretty heavy, one of the

52
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,839
Speaker 1: heavier ones that I've been around. So um, there's there's

53
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: a lot of options there. And and uh in the

54
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: Seattle game, it worked out there in the second half

55
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: where we were we were in big people most of

56
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: the time, and that's what we stuck with. Ok, let's

57
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: take three more, right, don't leave me right, hey, Colt. Obviously,

58
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,119
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago in Seattle, after the game,

59
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: you talked about how appreciative you were for the journey

60
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: and getting to that point and getting the opportunity to start.

61
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: I'm curious, if you do get that opportunity on Sunday night,

62
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: will it feel any differently for you? Are you more

63
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: comfortable because you've just done this a couple of weeks

64
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: ago and it's not as long as a you know,

65
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: a time off or you know, how how do you

66
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: approve I know you're gonna approach it the same way,

67
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: but just physically being out there on the field, knowing

68
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,119
Speaker 1: you were just there two weeks ago. Yeah, I think

69
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: I think maybe that that might be a little bit

70
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: more familiar to me after having played two weeks ago.

71
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: I just think that, you know, our our group, especially

72
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: on offense, has to be really focused, really sharp on

73
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: on our details and on our efficiency and the things

74
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: that we're doing and kind of what's working in the game.

75
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: And because it's been a crazy week around here. Um,

76
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: and you know, getting back on the field today, it

77
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: was nice, get the blood phone a little bit, get

78
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: the communication, get the calls, you know, let everybody kind

79
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: of get it. You know, used to what they do

80
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: on defense, and um, you know, we'll we'll see you.

81
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: We'll see where it goes. This defense can create a

82
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: lot of problems with their pass rush. Uh, they're good

83
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: to stop in the run. So you know, we've got

84
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: to be we we've got to be uh prepared and ready.

85
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: And um, you know, I thought, you know that today

86
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: was the first day with the quarterbacks working with Freddie

87
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: and hearing his voice and the play calls, so we're

88
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: working through a lot. Thanks Dulie called forgive. I was

89
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: a little late here, so please forgive me if this

90
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: was something was asked like this, But what were your

91
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: memories of playing with the Browns earlier in your career?

92
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: What sticks out about that time and knowing how starved

93
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: that fan base is for a winner? What do you

94
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: think and how hard it is like quarterback there? What

95
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: do you think of what Baker has done and where

96
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: the Browns are right now after twenty five years. Yeah,

97
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: I think Baker has done an outstanding job. He's he's

98
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: playing at a really high level. I was appreciative of

99
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: my time at the Browns. I wish we could have

100
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: won more games. Uh. There's great people in that organization.

101
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: Great the fans uh, and the people in Cleveland are awesome.

102
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: You know, my wife and I really enjoyed our time there.

103
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: I just didn't win enough. So, um, you know that.

104
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: That's about all I'll say about Cleveland. I think right now,

105
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 1: our our focus and our team's focuses on. You know,

106
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: we still have stuff to play for. And you know

107
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: they're they're a good football team. They won a lot

108
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: of games. Um, you know they we we've We've got

109
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: our hands full with their guys up front, and you know,

110
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: we we know what we need to do to win

111
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: this game, and we just we've got to prepare and

112
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: focus and and be ready to go out there and

113
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: execute last one here, Tom Rock Colt, I have two questions, Um,

114
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: when when do you expect to hear whether or not

115
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna be gonna be playing? When do you want

116
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: to hear that? I guess there's three questions, and then

117
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: the third one would be, uh, what's your relationship like

118
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: with Freddie? Yeah? Um, obviously to know sooner than sooner

119
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: than later, that'd be great, but uh, you know, it's

120
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: all about how how DJ feels and uh, I thought

121
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: he looked good today, but well, we'll see where it goes.

122
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: And as far as Freddy, Uh, Freddy has been great.

123
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: You know he's in the tight ends room, but he's

124
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 1: he's been active, he's been involved. Um, you know he

125
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: Jason's the play caller, right, we know Jason's voice. Jason

126
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: sits in our meeting. Um, you know that that has

127
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: been obviously really good. You know, Freddy's gonna step in

128
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: and do a good job I think for us as

129
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: quarterbacks We've just got to get on the same page

130
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: with him. You know, he's gonna call the game, and um,

131
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,559
Speaker 1: you know, we'll we'll well, we'll be we'll be fine,

132
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: you know, we'll we'll work out the kinks, you know,

133
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: tomorrow and you know we we did a good job

134
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: today and we'll be ready to go for someone from Texas.

135
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: I would imagine hearing the drool is a lot more

136
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: familiar than Jason's Easter. Yeah, Freddi's got a nice little draw. Yeah,

137
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: he us
