1 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:13,119 Speaker 1: We're welcome you into episode number seven already of the 2 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: best podcast available. Training competition on Jason Gibbs alongside Andrew Gribble, 3 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:22,439 Speaker 1: just off the practice field and the gentleman. Uh, we're 4 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 1: in the brown and Orange with a well deserved day 5 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 1: off tomorrow. I would like to say we have a 6 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 1: well deserved day off. Tomorrow's the day that we get 7 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: caught up on everything that we haven't been able to 8 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,959 Speaker 1: do because we've been outside of practice every day. Gribbs, 9 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: welcome and takeaways from a from a final day of 10 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: the week. You know, we we have six practices under 11 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 1: our belt. Um, I'm not giving Saturday as the as 12 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: our day off. This is really tomorrow the first day off. 13 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: But we've seen six practices today, no pads, shells, a 14 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: little bit longer practice, but getting some good work in 15 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: on the football field. Yeah. And I thought, uh, you know, 16 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: clearly not as physical as the other a few days 17 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: of practice, but I think still a lot of good work. 18 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: And I think it was to me it was a 19 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 1: much needed pick me up to the offense. I thought, 20 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: and I know the circumstances are a little different. You're 21 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: not hitting, you're not in full pads, but it's just 22 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: good to see plays being made by your best players. 23 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: And I think that to cap it off with a 24 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: with Baker's long TV pass to tow Odell in double coverage, 25 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,839 Speaker 1: that that's something that makes you feel good going into 26 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: into the break. And I think that there was a 27 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,559 Speaker 1: point in practice where I just looked at the huddle 28 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: and I just saw Baker, Cream Hunt, Odell Beckham and 29 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: Jervis Slandry and Austin Hooper. I was like, you know, 30 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: as as much as the offense has struggled a bit 31 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: to start camp, and I think they'll be all right. 32 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: I think they're going to figure it out. And I 33 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: think that it's good to see these guys on the 34 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: practice field, which is again something we didn't see last year. 35 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: And I think that's that that's the important thing and 36 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: will help this team get up to eat is in 37 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: time for this season over. Yeah, I definitely agree this 38 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: is this is going to be a process with the offense. 39 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: I mean, Baker Mayfield's dealing with his third coach and 40 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 1: different offensive system. And you said it, last year, guys 41 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: weren't on the field to gel. Now they are. Kareem Hunt, 42 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,399 Speaker 1: everybody forgets Kareem Hunt wasn't really on the field last 43 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 1: year for the preseason. He was dealing he was dealing 44 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: with the with a hernia issue, and uh, you know, 45 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: there's no Nick chob right now, and we're missing a 46 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: couple offensive linemen. But for the most part, the offense 47 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 1: is in a little bit better shape healthwise then the defense, 48 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: and it was good to see them get back on track, 49 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: especially GRIBs. I think in the red zone today they 50 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,519 Speaker 1: needed a little confidence booster and they got one there. Yeah, 51 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: and it was it was through a variety of plays. 52 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: Me I thought there were some bigger holes for Kareem 53 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: Hunt to run through. I think Sadrans Johnson make like 54 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: a nice jump cut near the end zone and getting 55 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: in there. And then we saw a real a nice 56 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: connection between Baker and Jarvis Landry where Jarvis is able 57 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: to do some toe tapping in the back of the ins. 58 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: And so you just saw more successful offensive plays, which 59 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: is good to kind of see the back and forth 60 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: going on. And I think the defense will be the 61 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: first to say lots because we're not hitting right now, 62 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 1: and I'm sure they would said there was probably a 63 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: couple of sacks that didn't get called, But at the 64 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: same time, it just felt like a crisper day for 65 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 1: the for the offense and show that they learned some 66 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: things after after Ester was practice. Yeah, definitely a little uh, 67 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: a little positivity for that room and and much needed 68 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: I think going into the off day, give them a 69 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: little momentum and we'll see what happens on Saturday when 70 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: they come back. On an injury front, that list continues 71 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: to grow. Uh. Kevin Johnson a corner that I know, 72 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: we've talked about, We've talked about on Brown's Daily, Brown's Live. 73 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: He is, He's starred, I think, uh in that Nickel 74 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: role unfortunately going to be lost for some time. A 75 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: lacerated liver hurt, I believe, pardon that's a new one 76 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: that I I had to look again when it happened, 77 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 1: I said, kidney liver, kid liver. Oh, okay, that is 78 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 1: a new one. Hurt yesterday. Uh looked like in the 79 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 1: seven on seven drill um and just unfortunate for a 80 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: guy that was playing really, really well and was going 81 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 1: to be a big contributor to the defense. Now, I mean, 82 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: who knows on a timetable, you just want the guy 83 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: to be okay as he sits in a hospital room 84 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: right now. So um, a lot to think about our 85 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: thoughts and well wishes for Kevin Johnson, but a tough 86 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: loss and a tough blow to this defense. Yeah. I 87 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: think Stepanski described the correctly unfortunate and unlucky. And I 88 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 1: think they even showed the replay of the of what 89 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: happened in Brown's Live today, and it just looks like 90 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: nothing out of the ordinary. And I think it's just 91 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: one of those kind of freaky things. And and like 92 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: you mentioned, I would say the timetable is definitely uncertain 93 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: because I don't I don't think either of us had 94 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: anything to compare this too. I mean again, you just 95 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,679 Speaker 1: the you know, Kevin's health is of the utmost importance 96 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: right now, Get get him up, get him out of 97 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 1: the hospital, and then uh, you see how it goes that. 98 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: It'll just be interesting to see what what is the timetable. 99 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: But from here on out, you're you're planning on probably 100 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 1: someone else being in that slot corner for the foreseeable future. 101 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: And I think today we've seen a lot of M J. Stewart, 102 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: We've seen a little bit of Donny Lewis, potentially a J. Green, 103 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: and I think there's a rotating cast of characters. For 104 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 1: I think what we view is a very important position 105 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: on the defense, and probably someone if it's not Kevin 106 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: Johnson in week one, someone who's going to be out 107 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: there playing a lot of snaps. Yeah, indeed on the 108 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 1: offensive side. No Jack Conkland today, any update from the 109 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: team on him described as scheduled rest. So it's it's 110 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: nothing too major. Should be back out there on Saturday. 111 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: And it's nice to have you. Even though he had 112 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: some some ugles las year. It's nice to put in 113 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 1: last year's starter as the backup. I think that's that's 114 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,119 Speaker 1: that's not too bad, and I think the offense didn't 115 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: miss too much of a beat without him out there. No, 116 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: I would agree with that as well. Nick Harris went 117 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: to the locker room, had a minor panic attack on 118 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 1: the field. Me not him, but no, no, no, no, yeah, me. 119 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: I had a minor panic attack when he went to 120 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: the locker room. But he jogged back out probably about 121 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: ten minutes later with it with a trainer and who 122 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: knows what it is. But everything's back to normal and 123 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: he's under centers or while he is the center. So 124 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: happy to have that back also Miles Garrett back in 125 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: individual work, not at any teamwork, but good to see 126 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: Miles back on the field as well. Yeah, you know, 127 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: I think it's we we've known from the beginning that 128 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: this was described as a very minor injury. Good to 129 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 1: get him some some workout in individual periods and then 130 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: we'll see what he's he's going to be doing here 131 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 1: on Saturday when you get back on the field, and 132 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: we'll see if he'll be particip eating in team drills, 133 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: and you know, without him out there, it's been an 134 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: opportunity for Porter Augustin to kind of recapture some magic 135 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 1: he had last year. At the end of the last season, 136 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: he had a stack we remember against the Dolphins and 137 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: really kind of came out of nowhere and ended up 138 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: playing a lot of snaps that really no one expected 139 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: to see at the end of last year. Denzel Award 140 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: with an interception. Today, we haven't talked a lot about Denzel. 141 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: We haven't talked a lot about Greedy. That probably is 142 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: a good thing. That means those guys are playing at 143 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: a pretty good clip. Thoughts on what you've seen from 144 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: those two through the first week. Yeah, they've both been 145 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: been really solid and I thought there was a good 146 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: play in the ends in there that Greedy was involved 147 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: in that that stopped to pass his way. And the 148 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: question to me, especially in the light of Kevin Johnson 149 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,559 Speaker 1: going down, is how do you find a way because 150 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: we've seen Terrence Mitchell playing so well, how do you 151 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: find a way to get your best three corners on 152 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: the field. Because I think Terrence Mitchell has played really well, 153 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: but you all three of them have been playing really 154 00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: well at outside corner and not you haven't seen any 155 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: of them really really with much experience in the slot. 156 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: So that's something to keep an eye on because I 157 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: think clearly those three without Kevin Johnson, that have emerged 158 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: as your best options at the position. Uh. And we'll 159 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: we'll see how they figure out a way just because 160 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: again this is the third straight year Terrence Mitchell side 161 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: a really good camp and and he's playing like a 162 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: guy that deserves to me playing on Sundays. And we'll 163 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: just see how they figure out a way to work 164 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: him into the rotation. Another guy that stood out made 165 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: some place day, got some run with the number three 166 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: wide receiver and sets Caderrel Hodge continues to impress. Yeah, 167 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: it's just I got a consistent player that I would 168 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: say that the majority of time, if you saw three 169 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: receivers out there, it seems like he's been working with 170 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: at least the second team, if not the first team. 171 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: So I thought he made some big plays last year 172 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: at times, and again we all know how much Mike 173 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: Preefer likes him for what he does on special teams, 174 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: so that that indicates he probably has a future on 175 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: this team no matter what he's doing a wide receiver. 176 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: But I would say I would put that competition is 177 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: beyond those two is wide open. I have really no 178 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:02,839 Speaker 1: read on it because I've seen a lot of those 179 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: guys makes it plays. Yeah, I think Canary last year 180 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: never really got a chance to get settled into the 181 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: offense because remember he was cut picked up by us 182 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: and literally thrown into the fire and really asked to 183 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: hold down special teams, which he did really, really well 184 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: last year, and at the end of the year he 185 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: got into some offensive sets, but I don't know if 186 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: he ever really got comfortable and this year looking very 187 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: comfortable at the wide receiver spot. Someone to continue to 188 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: watch over the next few weeks. What else stood out 189 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: to you or who else stood out to you. UH. 190 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: At day six of practice, we had a long field 191 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: goal period and I thought that was an interesting thing 192 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: to see, and I thought Austin Cyber did pretty well 193 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: in it, and he didn't even have his normal holder, 194 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 1: which I think was some good improvising because he might 195 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: have to improvise sometimes in case. Keenum stepped in there 196 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 1: and did it, did it, did a nice job, and 197 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: I think Cyber was maybe unofficially eight of ten. And 198 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,719 Speaker 1: this came on the heels of Kevin Stefanski addressing it 199 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: in his press conference today about bringing in four kickers 200 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: for trials, and he made it clear it wasn't anything 201 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: that Austin Cyberg UH has done or not done, and 202 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: it's just the team doing its due diligence. And I 203 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: think something I saw on Twitter that was that was 204 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: brought up as as an option is you've got practice 205 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: squad sixteen and could it be in your best interest 206 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: to have one of those spots be filled by a 207 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: kicker in the event of what if you what if 208 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: you all of a sudden are are without your kicker 209 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,839 Speaker 1: late in the week. You need an option potentially, and 210 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: instead of just going out onto the free agent market 211 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: having to bring someone in potentially and going through all 212 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: the protocols you can have someone in your building as 213 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: a quick replacement. Yeah, that's very good thinking by you, 214 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: well outside the box, thinking like you gotta think differently. Yeah, 215 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: just a little bit. Probably the most fun thing I've 216 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: seen this week the scoop and score drill for the 217 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: entire team. Yeah, one of those things that I've ever 218 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: seen before. No, that is that was I've seen a 219 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: lot on the practice field to the point where everything 220 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: is pretty monotonous and you just think you've seen every 221 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: drill out there. The fact that it was just thrown 222 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: into the middle of practice too. It wasn't some like 223 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: end of period, end of practice fun thing to do. 224 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: I mean, this was a serious thing. And I would 225 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: say that's a pretty significant emphasis on takeaways. And you know, 226 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,319 Speaker 1: we've seen a lot of those. Those those moments in 227 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: NFL games go very terribly wrong for the offensive lineman 228 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: or defensive linemen trying to pick up the ball, except 229 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: when it's Joe Betonio if you remember correctly in two 230 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: as an eighteen. But I think that any any opportunity 231 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: to get those big guys to get their hands on 232 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: the ball, I think they're enjoying it. Yeah, interesting moment. 233 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: And then another moment earlier in practice that I thought 234 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: resembled the what Mike Petton used to do at the 235 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:53,319 Speaker 1: end of UM the offseason workouts basically, uh, and the 236 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: mini camp. You would have a big alignment out there 237 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 1: trying to catch a punt, and if the guy caught 238 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: the punt, oh, good news. You have to be done 239 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: a little bit earlier on the last day of the 240 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: off season. And uh, it's a little bit of fun 241 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: today for Kevin Stefanski and company back there. You gotta 242 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: keep things light, especially because I think they've run this 243 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: camp like a pretty tight ship, and I think that 244 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: we've seen a lot. Everything seems very organized, very fast moving, 245 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: and I think you've gotta gotta keep the guys engaged 246 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: because you can, especially when you're not having normal team 247 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: meetings and normal meetings, and these guys are doing still 248 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: virtual meetings in some circumstances, So you gotta keep them, 249 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: gotta keep them locked in, especially going into the day off. 250 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: All right, that's what happened today at practice, and time 251 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: now for our player interview. Gribble sitting down with wide 252 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: receiver Jojo Natsen and a guy that is uh that's 253 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: in the competition and in the heat of the battle 254 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 1: for one of those coveted wide receivers spots.

And I just kind of took off from 335 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: there with that, with that role, that was pretty much 336 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: too And for you when you were getting ready to 337 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: get prepared for training camp, how how different was it 338 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: for you to I'm with the team and then not 339 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: really even get to visit the facility, get to get 340 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: to meet your your teammates. What kind of challenge was that, Like, oh, 341 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,199 Speaker 1: that was man, that was a big challenge, you know 342 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,159 Speaker 1: without having O T A S this year and just 343 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 1: doing everything go on Zoe me and it's trying to 344 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 1: learn the offense most importantly. It was. It was very different, man. 345 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: But you know, sometimes you have to adjust an the 346 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: doubt and in life, and you know, I think that's 347 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: just kind of what what the situation was. And you know, 348 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,400 Speaker 1: it ends up, you know, I want to say working 349 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: out for the best, but it ends up, you know, 350 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: it end up keeping me grounded and made me study 351 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: a little more and just you know, look at film 352 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: a little more on my downtime. So it ended up 353 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 1: working out for me at the end of the day. 354 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 1: What's it been like getting to know Chatosha as a 355 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 1: wide receivers coach. It's been really well coach, coach of shame. Man. 356 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: He he's been in the game for a while. He 357 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 1: knows what he's saying, and it's just amazing, you know, 358 00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,080 Speaker 1: because he's been around some really good receivers and know 359 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: the fact that he tells us, you know, some of 360 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: those guys house how he coached some of those guys 361 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 1: and the knowledge that he brings us. It's really is 362 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 1: really good for the receiver role. And then for you, 363 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 1: what's it like being in the room with both Jarvis 364 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,400 Speaker 1: and O'Dell and and a bunch of other young guys. 365 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: It's a blessing. It's a blessing being around those guys. Man. 366 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: Those guys are very talented, and like I told Odell 367 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 1: the other day, man, I'm just I'm just trying to 368 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: soak up the game. And for you, without a preseason 369 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: what what do you have to do to get ready 370 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: to know that the first game you play is is 371 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: the real deal this year? I think it's all man, 372 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 1: it's all mental, uh at this point, you know, knowing 373 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 1: that the fact there's no preseason games, so just you know, 374 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 1: coming in daily every day is trying to you know, 375 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 1: take one one step closest and keep preparing my mind 376 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 1: and body for that game. But is uh, you know, 377 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: definitely when when it comes that time for us to 378 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: get ready to prepare for that week one game, so 379 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 1: I would definitely gonna be ready. Jojo, thank you so 380 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: much for joining the podcast and and go tluck with 381 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: the rest of Camp. Gribbs thoughts on Joe Joe Nats 382 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: in this week again like you, I think, like you 383 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: said earlier, that all the wide receivers seem to be 384 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: making plays, but Natson can also do some stuff on 385 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,399 Speaker 1: the special team side, which I think Mike Preef for 386 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: likes and this football team could ultimately end up like it. Well, 387 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 1: we all remember how highly Mike Preefer spoke of Joejoe 388 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: Nats and last year going into that game against the 389 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: ram So clearly a lot of respect there. And I 390 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 1: think that the thing that stood out to me with 391 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: with a couple of plays with with Joejoe is that 392 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 1: you've got to play into his skill set. I mean, 393 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 1: I think it's so crazy to me. I had to 394 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: double I had to do like a triple take with 395 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: his stats at Utah State his final year there before 396 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: transferring Acrima, they attempted fifty rushes with him, and I 397 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: think that that was just crazy, like that, how many 398 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: end a rounds can you do? But clearly he's got 399 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: a lot of speed, a lot of quickness, and and 400 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: if you're doing it fifty times, clearly he's got some vision, 401 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 1: uh to find the holes where they're at Because a 402 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: lot of times those end arounds just end up running 403 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 1: out of bounds, they don't really go anywhere. So to 404 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 1: keep going to that, well, I think that shows that 405 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 1: there's a there's a special skill set that he has, 406 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,199 Speaker 1: uh that can help him out there. And clearly, if 407 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 1: you're looking at the punt return kick return, I think 408 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: we all like the potential of Donovan People's jones, but 409 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 1: Natson has done it at a high level for multiple 410 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 1: years on a very good team. Uh. So we'll we'll 411 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 1: see who how that plays out. But I think he's 412 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 1: taken a pretty seriously and listening talk about how he 413 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: works on his craft. I mean a lot of guys 414 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 1: catch balls off judge machines. He's catching punts off juge machines. 415 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: So I think that's something he takes pretty seriously and 416 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: he knows that's really his his niche in the NFL 417 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, And we wish him the best of luck, 418 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: a good kid and uh hoping for some big things 419 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 1: in from Joe Joe Matson. All Right, the best thing 420 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: you saw this week, most concerning thing that you saw 421 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: this week as it pertains to the Cleveland Browns through 422 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: six practices, I think the best thing I've seen this week, 423 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 1: and I'll go I mean, the easy answer would be 424 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: that the great catch from Odel to day, but I'll 425 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: go on the defensive line, and I think that that 426 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 1: group has been really good without two of its starters. 427 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: I think they've brought constant pressure with I think to me, 428 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's been talked about it much 429 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 1: at all, but Sheldon Richton looks like he's in great shape, 430 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: and I think that he's moving around really well, and 431 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: I think Olivia Vernon's healthy out there and contributing, and 432 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: we Jordan Elliott and Port Augustin. It looked pretty good 433 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: on the first team defensive line. They haven't had a 434 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: drop off. I think they've caused They've been the root 435 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 1: of some of the offensive issues in the first few 436 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: days of practice. So I've liked that that group and 437 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: the depth that they've shown so far in a lot 438 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: of a lot to be encouraged by, especially with Jordan Elliott. 439 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,719 Speaker 1: Is it me or we were watching the defensive linemen 440 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: because they were doing their position drills right in front 441 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: of us. Everything else was a quarter of a mile away. 442 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: But on the defensive line, it looks like all you 443 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 1: mentioned Sheldon Richardson. A lot of those guys look like 444 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 1: they slimmed down a little bit or put on a 445 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: little bit more muscle. Uh, the whole room looks a 446 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: little bit different as they were going through drills today. 447 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 1: When you've got Myles Garrett in your room, you've always 448 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 1: get and you see him lifting, I mean, you've gotta 449 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,439 Speaker 1: start keeping up with the Joneses in your room. I mean, 450 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: that's the that's part of the maybe that's the fact, 451 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: the Miles factor in that room. You've gotta gotta get 452 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,880 Speaker 1: get the body right, I mean, open job we've talked about. 453 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 1: I mean, the guy has transformed his body like crazy, 454 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: and I'm excited about what he can do when he 455 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: gets back on the field as well. Yeah. No, And 456 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: I would think he could be back relatively soon. And 457 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 1: um Stump Mitchell today in his press conference and meeting 458 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: with the media said Nick Chubbs in the meetings, we're 459 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 1: just waiting for him to get cleared to go back 460 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: out on the football field. So one would think that 461 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: would that might happen sooner rather than later as well, 462 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 1: which will be a good thing. Uh, what do you 463 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: want to see? We're we're off to four straight days 464 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: of practices here after tomorrow's day off. What are you 465 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: looking to see from this football team? Because since I 466 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 1: didn't answer the second part of your question and the 467 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: last question, I'll connect these two and that the worst 468 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: thing I've been seeing is the number of injuries, and 469 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: I think that that's something that really a lot of 470 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,479 Speaker 1: these they're kind of out of their control. You can 471 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: do as much as you can to prevent them, but 472 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: I would like to go at a five day stretch 473 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 1: without having to worry about someone new each day, especially 474 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: because it isn't like these have been like projected backups 475 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: or guys like these have been contributors that have major 476 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: contributors that have been sidelined by these injuries. So let's 477 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: let's get a little bit of a dry spell. Let's 478 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,640 Speaker 1: get this team healthy and back in in much better 479 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 1: shape for the open Yeah. I think the other for 480 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 1: for me, what I want to see next week is 481 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 1: that offensive line. Jederick Wills, who's still getting the field 482 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: for playing the National Football Leagues's playton. He's had six 483 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: practices against NFL talent in the NFL caliber UH talent, 484 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,159 Speaker 1: and our defensive line. I think next week you need 485 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: to start seeing the offense and and generic start to 486 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 1: take that next step because you know, we we talked 487 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: about the rookies not having too much pressure on them, um, 488 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: because knowing there's gonna be a little bit of a curve, 489 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: and even more of a curve than in past off 490 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 1: seasons because there hasn't been a off season. Um. But 491 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: he is the one that really has to hit the 492 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 1: ground running from a rookie standpoint. Week one in Baltimore 493 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 1: on September. You gonna say, I haven't noticed in the 494 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: last few days, And I think that's a good time 495 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: when you're on the offensive line. I think that that 496 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: tells me he's doing enough at this point to make 497 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: me feel good about the privacies making Yeah, Odell, keep 498 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: doing what you're doing. My goodness, what a day he had. 499 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt, keep doing what you're doing. The tight ends, uh, 500 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: and everybody playing well. Uh. The linebacker room. You know, 501 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 1: Mack Wilson's down, but that room is not dead and 502 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,640 Speaker 1: buried by any stretch. Takie talkie and goods and flying 503 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: all over the football field. Uh. Some good work by them, 504 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: and we'll see what happens with Andrew burrying company over 505 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: the next week or two to see if maybe there's 506 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: some additional help on the way. With Mac being on 507 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: the shelf for a little Bit Player day off on Friday, 508 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: we are back with you on Saturday, and we'll start 509 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: this rotation all over again consecutive days and hopefully getting 510 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 1: some more good work in as we work our way 511 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: towards September.
