1
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: The Cleveland Browns are back to practice on Wednesday, and

2
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: we'll begin preparations for their road tests against the Denver

3
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: Broncos this weekend. I'm Jake Munzik, and welcome back to

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: from the podium. Today we're gonna hear from three players

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: and head coach Kevin Stefanski as they preview what to

6
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: expect in Denver. The players went first in the locker room,

7
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: and quarterback Dorian Topson Robinson was up first. He talked

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: about how he can build off of last week's performance

9
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 1: and how Joe Flacco can help him learn some stuff

10
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: about being a quarterback.

11
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 2: You know, lit over the film and everything, what was

12
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 2: what was on second glance? Kind of your takeaways from

13
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: your performance, especially there in the second hand.

14
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously things every week you need to clean up.

15
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 4: I think the biggest thing is as offense, we played

16
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 4: on time, try to negate their rush as much as possible.

17
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 4: I think Tz only had one sack, had a couple

18
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 4: of Kep hits on me, but I don't know. I

19
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 4: think we played on time both in the past, came

20
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 4: in and the run game stuck with it.

21
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 3: You know how times it's not.

22
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 5: Gonna be easy.

23
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 4: So it's going against the defense like that. So second uh,

24
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 4: second half getting a couple of three and outs. You know,

25
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 4: we're working the fixed thos this week. But ultimately I

26
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 4: was happy with the game.

27
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 6: So I think I'm guessing you watched your FLA or

28
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 6: growing up WI. Yeah.

29
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 3: I did have him in.

30
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 7: The room with you and as a a sounding board.

31
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 5: And somebody else that you can talk.

32
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 8: Yeah.

33
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:21,199
Speaker 3: Man, it's awesome.

34
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 4: It's awesome anytime you can add experience, which is something

35
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 4: as a rookie you need.

36
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 3: Uh, It's it's a great thing.

37
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 4: So him pj uh a VP asking everybody in the

38
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 4: quarterback room, they're helped me out a ton.

39
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 3: He just got here.

40
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 4: He still learned the way around the city, so I'm

41
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 4: trying to help him out with that. But uh, he's

42
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 4: definitely helped me out on the football side of thanks

43
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 4: for sure.

44
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 9: So what you have to do, DARNI to keep them

45
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 9: on mannum but maybe improved by your old game.

46
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, I think it's just you know, looking at

47
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 4: back at what I did last Sunday, just like how

48
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 4: I did Week four is what I did good and

49
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 4: and then but I needed correct and going out here

50
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 4: on on practice on Wednesday, and going out there and

51
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 4: correcting it. So I don't think there's any secret formula,

52
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 4: just going out there, putting the work in, uh Wednesday

53
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 4: two or Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and then going out there

54
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 4: and make sure you're locked in on Sunday.

55
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 10: So why have they share with take in terms of

56
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 10: you know, Joe's role as he comes in here, and

57
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 10: I mean, I'm sure his presence is.

58
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 7: Also to make sure if you're not like looking.

59
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 11: Over your shoulder anyway.

60
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 4: I mean as a competitor, I I always wanna get

61
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 4: pushed by guys, So it doesn't really matter to me.

62
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,119
Speaker 4: They haven't let me know anything besides just get ready

63
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 4: for this week and make sure you're the best prepared

64
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 4: this week. So that's what I come in here to

65
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 4: do on a week to week basis, and I plan

66
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 4: to do that today.

67
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 8: So how long did it take you to come down

68
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 8: from that game?

69
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 5: Shoot?

70
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 4: Maybe twenty minutes after the game. Uh My family was

71
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 4: singing happy birthday to me and the family and friends section.

72
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 4: Uh So I got to kind of just more self

73
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 4: folks on my birthday, uh as a gift and more

74
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 4: so of the game.

75
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 2: So you're you're working on what what is what part

76
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: of your game are you spending the most times, you know, trying.

77
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 10: To own right now?

78
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think just you know, get more and more

79
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 4: comfortable with the game. It's a different style of plan

80
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 4: uh in the NFL from college. So uh, I think

81
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 4: if I can just keep progressing with I'm working with

82
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 4: the offense, I reads my timing with the receivers and

83
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 4: running backs and tight ends, I think I'll be all right.

84
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 4: But just working on you know, whatever ABP or coach,

85
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 4: the fans care ass and have for me out there

86
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 4: a practice.

87
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 12: The So saw the video you on the sideline and

88
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 12: kind of crouched down and real emotional. I guess where

89
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 12: do you think that emotion came from?

90
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 3: Yeah?

91
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 4: Man, the the work I put in Monday through Sunday

92
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 4: or Monday through Saturday. And really, since I've gotten here,

93
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 4: thinking about those times in Greenboro, I wouldn't gett in

94
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 4: any reps.

95
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 13: Uh.

96
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 3: You guys were all noticed me in the bag.

97
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 4: Taking all those reps, those reps up now helped me

98
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 4: come this past Sunday and as well as the rest

99
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 4: of the Sundays.

100
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 3: Moving forward and being able to even put me in

101
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 3: this position.

102
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 4: So just just realizing how far I've come, and also

103
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 4: you know where I'm trying to be at, but just

104
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 4: trying to appreciate the moment I talked to my mentor

105
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 4: of the day before and just being able to take

106
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 4: it all in as one of his biggest points, and

107
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 4: so I think that's where all that emotion came.

108
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 14: Your legs the other day, do you do you feel

109
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 14: comfortable using that more and your mobility when I'm getting.

110
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 3: Out and they things happen.

111
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, my my job as quarterbacks get first

112
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 4: downs and touchdowns. I know I have some pretty good

113
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 4: legs under myself, so if I can be able to

114
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 4: use those to get some first downs, keep the defense,

115
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 4: like I said on their toes, that's probably one of

116
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 4: the worst things as decoordinated when you gotta go against

117
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 4: the running quarterback and man covered. So as much as

118
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 4: I can try and help the team win, I'm gonna

119
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 4: do it.

120
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 15: After the game, you know, Dave is really criticling himself

121
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 15: with the drop passes, but he made a huge catch

122
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 15: on that five or try.

123
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 7: But just what does that.

124
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 15: Mean to you that you know one of your teammates,

125
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 15: you know.

126
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 7: Holds himself accountable. And right after the game he runs home.

127
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 7: He's calling coach on the jugs machine, you know, working,

128
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 7: you know, working on his fun.

129
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. Now he called me too, He called me to apologize.

130
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 3: I'm like, brother, you ain't gotta worry about that.

131
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 4: I'm gonna come back to you on Monday, Uh, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,

132
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 4: all the days of practice. So Day's gonna have a

133
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 4: hell of a week this week. He's gonna make a

134
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 4: lot of catches this Sunday, and uh, I'm excited for it.

135
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 7: So it's gonna be super cold in Denver. You bring

136
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 7: in the big buffy black jacket.

137
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 3: I can't give the swag away just yet, but I'll

138
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 3: definitely be nice and cozy before the game you show. Uh, here,

139
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 3: here we go. We got a new we got a

140
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 3: new guy on staff. Huh. I don't know yet, man,

141
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 3: I don't know yet. You know, I don't pick my

142
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 3: outfits out too too early in advance. You know, did

143
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 3: you what's it like.

144
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 10: For you to go up against Russell Wilson? I'm sure

145
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 10: you probably you know, maybe idolized him over the years.

146
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 10: You know, what are your thoughts on being the same?

147
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean this is I don't starting to lose

148
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 4: fingers on how many guys I can count that I

149
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 4: now met prior to playing them and now I get

150
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 4: to play them. So, uh, you can add Russell to

151
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 4: that list. Uh, He's been down to UCLA plenty of times.

152
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 4: I was coached by one of his uh college coaches,

153
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 4: uh Data Bible my first couple of years in college.

154
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 4: So I actually got to meet with him, do some

155
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 4: zoom meetings with him during COVID and stuff like that.

156
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 4: So me and UST have a pretty good relationship. But uh, again,

157
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 4: just another great opportunity. I'm so happy I get to,

158
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 4: you know, go out there and play this week, play

159
00:05:58,680 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 4: with my guys, get to do the same thing we

160
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 4: did last week, and just go out there and have

161
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 4: a ball.

162
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 16: So game, a lot of your teams were saying that

163
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 16: you were showing them that leadership that you wanted to do,

164
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 16: and you were even correcting them on place you saw

165
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 16: them out there on Sunday and you kind of got

166
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 16: Kareem Hunk back in the mix and on the final drive.

167
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 16: How important is it been for you to focus on

168
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 16: the mental part game knowing especially in those last two minutes,

169
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 16: And where do you think you've grown in that area?

170
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, I think I said on Sunday, this

171
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 4: this is a responsibility is just uh, I get to

172
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 4: be the starting quarterback and everybody loves me and uh

173
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 4: all this other stuff, so I gotta come in.

174
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 3: I gotta work at it every day.

175
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 4: The amount of detail and focus that needs to be

176
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 4: able to be successful at this position, it's strenuous, it's tough, uh,

177
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 4: and all those things that you see on Sundays because

178
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 4: of the work that's put in throughout the week. So uh,

179
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,559
Speaker 4: you know, I think I'm in a good spot. I

180
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 4: definitely want to improve and making sure that I'm even

181
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 4: better than last Sunday.

182
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 3: But uh, yeah, man, that's what that's kind of what

183
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 3: I look forward to.

184
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 4: When you're in those close, tight games, uh, close tight situations,

185
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:00,799
Speaker 4: you can be able to I can focus.

186
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 3: That's when you're at your best and you make plays.

187
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 6: I'm sure.

188
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 12: I'm sure the stee which pass roach had funny do

189
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 12: with it, but you know it's much of short passes.

190
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 8: Last week.

191
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 7: Do you feel like the more you get comfortable.

192
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 12: The more start you have, that will expand and you'll

193
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 12: be able to push it down.

194
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 8: The field more.

195
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 3: I mean, shoot, I hope. So, but now that's not

196
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 3: in my control.

197
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 4: I hope we can throw shoot as many passes as

198
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 4: we can, as well as get the run game and

199
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 4: Korean and Jerome involved. But if I can throw a

200
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 4: bubble for five yards and he takes it the distance,

201
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 4: I don't think anybody would be mad at that.

202
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 3: So, uh, you know, I'm here to.

203
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 4: Control the game plan and making sure that I'm doing

204
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 4: everything that coach to Fanski wants.

205
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 7: Story and I know that, like this isn't in your control.

206
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 5: If you look at the top half.

207
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 10: Of the league, pretty much every team in the top

208
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 10: half round other than the crowds as their opening day

209
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 10: starts to get to the back right, and.

210
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 5: Your frame of reference is just here.

211
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 7: You haven't played elsewhere professionally.

212
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 17: But what is it about this room, this team that has.

213
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 9: Allowed for the when we to be a quarterback.

214
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 6: To not just rub the success of the teams?

215
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think sh I mean you take back to Greenboro.

216
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 4: I wish you guys were there to really see the

217
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 4: meetings and inside and now to what we were doing there.

218
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 4: But uh, I think we are really close uh throughout

219
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 4: that whole time we were those eight days.

220
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 3: Uh, and it's really shown.

221
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 4: Now from the the the moments where you see guys

222
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 4: pushing the pile to the defense, always celebrate with each

223
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 4: other after a play.

224
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 6: Wow.

225
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 4: Uh, I think that's kind of what it is. You

226
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 4: just come to k come closer as a team when

227
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 4: moments get hard, and luckily we've been on the winning

228
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 4: side of all those.

229
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think that's what it is. I think

230
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 3: it's just a really close team, really good.

231
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 7: Do you have hope that it's upcoming? Truth and standing

232
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 7: out in LA can be similar to.

233
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 3: What you just thought with Uh, for sure.

234
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 4: I mean every week we're trying to go wanna know,

235
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 4: and so we're focused on the Broncos this week and

236
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 4: making sure that this is the best week of practice

237
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 4: we've had this year, cause all the weeks before it

238
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 4: have been the best weeks up to that point. So

239
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 4: we can keep keep climbing, keep staying on the path.

240
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 4: Ron I think we'll be alright come come towards the

241
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 4: end of the year.

242
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 3: Bondings, Oh yeah, you can have, Oh yeah, for sure,

243
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 3: for sure.

244
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,719
Speaker 4: I mean, I know guys aren't really looking forward to

245
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 4: staying in the hotel for a week again, but now

246
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 4: I think it would be really cool, really fun again,

247
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 4: just getting everybody close in one space at one time. Uh,

248
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 4: especially for a longer period of time, I think would

249
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 4: be really healthy for the I mean I played down

250
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 4: in Boulder, uh plan U see, so I've played down

251
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 4: there plenty of times. But uh, you know, I think

252
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 4: just getting in the out two room, getting some mexicanditioning

253
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,719
Speaker 4: after practice, just kind of taking it upon yourself to

254
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 4: make sure the turn shape so you got a lot

255
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 4: of them this.

256
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 18: Week would be a low did yourself to think about

257
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 18: being in Westwood next week?

258
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 4: Oh no, oh no, I don't think my teammates or

259
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 4: any of my coach will let me think that far ahead.

260
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 3: So but no, I know it's gonna be a great time.

261
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be able to see a bunch of people

262
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 4: I know already have obviously a munch of merity familiarity

263
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 4: being around U C. L A and getting to use

264
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 4: that practice facility and and all the things that they

265
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 4: have there.

266
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 3: So no, I'm super excited.

267
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 15: We've heard a lot about these too, many things like

268
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 15: practice periods, because how much time do you spend on

269
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 15: that and how competitive are those periods?

270
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, uh, the two minute is everything. I

271
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 4: mean I've been working that's with coach Kelly. Uh since

272
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 4: my freshman year of college. Uh So the the two.

273
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 3: Minute thing that comes with ease to me. Now, it

274
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 3: was funny.

275
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 4: I was texting with coach Kelly out to the game

276
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 4: about how how we only had a minute eighteen left

277
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 4: when I felt like five minutes of the game. So

278
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 4: now I'm super grateful for him and as well as

279
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 4: coach fans. We work it here too, so it's such

280
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,719
Speaker 4: a big moment in the game and for us to

281
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 4: be able to come out on top, I think it shows.

282
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 19: But all the work, how much do you guys emphasize

283
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 19: what they like getting that ball spot?

284
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 3: It would be like, oh, yeah, everything everything.

285
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's so much that goes into a two minute

286
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 4: that people really don't realize. Whether you're outside the hash

287
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 4: catching the ball and you need to get to the

288
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 4: sideline and you're inside the numbers you need to hand

289
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 4: it to the raft and stuff like that, or or

290
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 4: making sure that the box he gets to the raft

291
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 4: you don't want to drop it or anything.

292
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 3: So, yeah, there was a bunch of stuff that goes

293
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 3: into it.

294
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 4: Reach out to you, yeah, yeah, yeah, he reached out

295
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 4: to me just saying good luck this week. Obviously, I

296
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,080

Speaker 7: I know you said you're embracing having Joe here, but

323
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 7: the Browns have just signed a quarterback and want a Super.

324
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 3: Bowl I'm just going for forty thousand years?

Speaker 4: I mean, if y'all would have been inside my body

329
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 4: to feel the pressure I felt when they were chanting

330
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 4: my name, when I had everybody thinking about this game

331
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 4: and uh.

332
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 3: The Steelers and how big of that rival we was.

333
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 4: Joe coming in here's more of a blessing than anything.

334
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 4: Like I said, I'm asking him a bunch of questions

335
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 4: were we were chopping it up a stuff time this morning.

336
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 3: He's in the early meetings with us, with me and PJ. Now,

337
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 3: so it's great.

338
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 4: Man, he's been in so well, and like I said,

339
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 4: I've only known him for just about a day with

340
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 4: him being here, so I loved y'all.

341
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 3: It's been awesome, real quick altitude.

342
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 9: Was that a big a deal for your team when

343
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 9: you're out there?

344
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 15: Uh?

345
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 3: No, not really.

346
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,719
Speaker 4: I mean, shoot, I don't think in college we really

347
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 4: had auxygen masks on the sideline, So at least here

348
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 4: we have auction masks on the sideline. I for you

349
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 4: has to be able to breathe and get airin. But no,

350
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 4: it's it's never really been a struggle. I personally, honestly

351
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 4: don't notice it being a quarterback unless I take off

352
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 4: and scramble.

353
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 3: But I'm sure other guys won't really notice. So we

354
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 3: have guys that work too.

355
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 14: Next up was linebackers Siona Taki. He talked about the

356
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 14: challenges Denver possesses offensively and the camaraderie that this team

357
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 14: is built throughout the season.

358
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 6: Been around a.

359
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 2: Long time, and you know, we've seen teams here that

360
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 2: you know, they getting those late game situations.

361
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 6: It hasn't gone the way it's trumpeting guys.

362
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 5: What goes that mindset?

363
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 2: Goes into that mindset that you know where you floor,

364
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 2: you've flourished instead of you know, kind of folded down

365
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 2: the stretch.

366
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 6: Yeah.

367
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 13: Yeah, I feel like just the experience of being in

368
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 13: that situation before. I feel like early on in the

369
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 13: season we were in those situations and we weren't as

370
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 13: clean as we wanted to be, you know, Seahawks obviously

371
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 13: the forty.

372
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 6: Nine ers because they went you know, kind of kind

373
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 6: of wrong too.

374
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 13: But I feel like just getting that experience being in

375
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 13: those situations and learning from them, and so when we

376
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 13: were you know, we're in that situation against those guys.

377
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 13: We were able to execute, go out there, play fast, play,

378
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 13: play our techniques.

379
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 8: Yeah, responsible forget that offensive.

380
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 6: Coordinator for Pittsburgh real yeah, y.

381
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 13: You know how the business is, man, you know, okay,

382
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 13: you know we just kind of played our ball, man

383
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 13: and let those guys do their decisions.

384
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 6: Man, That's really how it is.

385
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 7: What what do you see in your lady?

386
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 9: The Broncachs can of slow start this season, but then

387
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 9: you start turned around.

388
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 7: What do you see from them?

389
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 6: Yeah?

390
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 13: No, see, I see a really good team. They run

391
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 13: the ball really well. Russell was definitely like, you know,

392
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 13: the whole team. I feel like these last well five

393
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 13: games have you know, it's kind of like a new

394
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 13: team won their last four. You know, I s tip

395
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 13: our hats to those guys, you know, the coaches and

396
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 13: the players for turning around. But like I said, man,

397
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 13: when they got a good running team, Russell does a

398
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 13: good great job with the ball, doesn't really turn it

399
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 13: over turn it over. So we're gonna have to be

400
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 13: cute in for all all the stuff that they kind

401
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 13: of do.

402
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 7: You talk about, you know, good running teams. What is

403
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 7: it about you guys?

404
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 8: Defense?

405
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 15: For you?

406
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 7: It has allowed you to elevate the run game.

407
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 15: Cause for years here it's like that was like top

408
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 15: three thing you guys needed to do, and uh, you

409
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 15: guys just always seem to struggle against run. But you

410
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 15: know this year you've you guys have held your own.

411
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 13: Yeah, I W I would say, scheme wise, you know,

412
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 13: obviously like we've been talking about, you know this whole year,

413
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 13: just kind of a attack front that we have, letting

414
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 13: those guys hit their spots. Yeah, you know, Uh, I'll say,

415
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 13: you know, we got the best front, you know, front

416
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 13: four guys man in the league. So you know, just

417
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 13: letting those guys do everything and letting us be behind

418
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 13: them clean it up.

419
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Okay, just with a Walk going down, I mean.

420
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 7: I know last year, all the injuries you.

421
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: Guys had, how how quick do you think you are

422
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: to handle his absence?

423
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 7: And I guess for you yourself, do you feel any

424
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 7: pressure at this point when one of those other guys

425
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 7: in that we're gonna goes down or anything like that.

426
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 13: Yeah, first of all, just you know, sucks to see

427
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 13: m Walker go down, especially a leader of captain on

428
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 13: the team, just a guy that you know, his presence

429
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 13: has felt on and off the field. Does does everything right,

430
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 13: you know for us guys behind us whom you's definitely

431
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 13: learned a lot from him. But yeah, you know, it's

432
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 13: been playing this game for a long time, so you know,

433
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 13: gratefully obviously, I never wanna se guys go down, but

434
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 13: I'm ready to play.

435
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 6: You know. It's kind of kind of how it goes

436
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 6: in the in the rest of the room cal the

437
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 6: same way. You know what I mean, he'd you shooting.

438
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 12: We've having the number one defense now pretty much all

439
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 12: year long.

440
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 7: Do you feel like there's pressure that comes with that

441
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 7: on a weekly basis?

442
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, uh, y, we kind of we didn't, don't.

443
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 13: We don't try to focus on it, but obviously, you know,

444
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 13: it's it's there for us to kind of, you know,

445
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 13: talk about.

446
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 6: But no pressure.

447
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 2: Man.

448
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 13: You know, I feel like if we continue to stay

449
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 13: locked in on our queues and what we got going for.

450
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 6: The week, Uh, we could just go out there and

451
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 6: play ball, play free.

452
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 13: But definitely, man, we we hear those things, we we

453
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 13: read those things, We hear those things.

454
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 6: It's definitely cool to be in the position we are,

455
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 6: but just keeping the main thing, the main thing, The

456
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 6: main thing is to win. So uh, that's kind of

457
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 6: what keeps us locked in?

458
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 5: Really, what's what's.

459
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 6: Unique about Denver?

460
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 7: Do they remind you of anybody you play so far?

461
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 5: The shore Y?

462
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, Denver's a unique team. Obviously. They have you know,

463
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 6: uh the altitude stuff that.

464
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 13: You know they pride themselves on and you know, playing

465
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 13: different in those areas.

466
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 6: But yeah, I'm trying, I'm trying to think really really

467
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 6: good running team.

468
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 18: Man.

469
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 13: I feel like they started off slow, but these last

470
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 13: five games, like I said, and then especially the last four.

471
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 6: Of them winning. Uh, they they they they definitely stuffed

472
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 6: it up.

473
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,239
Speaker 13: They do a lot of similar things to a lot

474
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 13: of teams that we played, you know what I mean,

475
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,840

534
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 13: right things leading up to it. But I would say

535
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 13: it's n no different than any of the other game

536
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,359

Speaker 13: you know, over the years, but definitely, you know a

570
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 13: lot of things, you know, especially.

571
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 6: That Green Briar going out there as a smart.

572
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 13: You know, thing that the team did for us to

573
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 13: kind of bond helps us out later on in the season.

574
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 13: But yeah, man, this team has definitely been closed. But actually,

575
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 13: you know, being resilient, you know, these last few names

576
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 13: just uh, you know kind of you know, get a

577
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 13: little closer and pushing each other along.

578
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 15: Do you think you dreamed Brior, you guys are going

579
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 15: to be staying out in it, Like, do you have

580
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 15: a hope that that can be a similar kind of.

581
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 5: Experience for you guys together?

582
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 8: Yeah?

583
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, just staying locked in.

584
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 13: Obviously it's kind of weird that, you know, in the

585
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 13: first time when they do this like two week trip thing,

586
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 13: but just everybody's you know, keeping the main thing, the

587
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 13: main thing, the main thing is there to work and

588
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 13: keeping each.

589
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 6: Other locked in.

590
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 14: Are there any challenges to kind of going on a

591
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 14: long road trip like this in the middle of the season,

592
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 14: Like you're going to be away from home for nine days,

593
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 14: You're not going to be in your own bed. Is Like,

594
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 14: is that challenging to do in the middle of the year.

595
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, a little different, but I think we'll do it.

596
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 10: Well.

597
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 13: You know, we've got a bunch of professionals on the team,

598
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 13: and you know, the main thing is to go out

599
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 13: there and compete and win. So we're going to keep that,

600
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 13: you know, at the main goal.

601
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 14: To wrap up the day in the locker room, the

602
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 14: newest Cleveland Brown quarterback Joe Flacco, spoke to the media

603
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 14: about his desire to still play football and why he

604
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 14: chose the Browns and what made him sign here.

605
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 9: Do you think you'd be doing one of these again

606
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 9: after the way last season ended?

607
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 17: Well, I kind of figured I probably would be the

608
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 17: way last season ended. But you know, as as I

609
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 17: sat at home for most of this year, I was

610
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 17: probably beginning to lose a little bit of faith in that.

611
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 6: But what.

612
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 7: What brought you out and brought you here to Cleveland?

613
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 17: Well, listen, I got a call from my agent and

614
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 17: they asked to come work out and I said, all right,

615
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 17: I'm gonna come work out, and they said, all right,

616
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 17: we're gonna this is what we're gonna do.

617
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 8: And I just kind of nodded my head along the

618
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 8: whole way.

619
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 15: And the next thing, you know, I'm here, Joe, your

620
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 15: role here now that you're here.

621
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 17: Uh, you know, I haven't really looked that much into it.

622
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 17: I want to take it day by day. And you know, listen,

623
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 17: I'm a veteran guy that's been around a lot at

624
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 17: this point in the season with the team that's doing well,

625
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 17: So I think there's a lot of different things that

626
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 17: I can bring to the table. But I honestly just

627
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,199
Speaker 17: want to keep it day to day and you know,

628
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 17: focus on what I can right now that's just kind

629
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 17: of learning the offense and be coming apart of the team.

630
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 3: So what do you think you got luck?

631
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,479
Speaker 17: Well, listen, I I think when you start talking about that,

632
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 17: you can talk to your blue in the face and

633
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 17: try to promote yourself or.

634
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 8: Not or whatever it is.

635
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 17: But you know, uh, however this ends up playing out,

636
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 17: I think you can look back the way I finished

637
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 17: last game of the season last year, not that you know,

638
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 17: we were able to win that game, but I definitely

639
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 17: believe I can still play.

640
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 8: And you know, like I said, I'm focused on the

641
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 8: day to day.

642
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 17: And as long as I can do that, then whatever happens,

643
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 17: I think that whatever my role ends up being, and

644
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 17: wherever this takes me, then I'll do my best at that.

645
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 7: You start to put.

646
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 11: Dtr Dorian at ease, knowing that he's got a super

647
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 11: Bowl winning quarterback behind him, with all this experience that could.

648
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 6: Potentially take his job.

649
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 17: I think he's got you know, I've been there as

650
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 17: a rookie and you've got so much going through your head,

651
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 17: and you're worrying about little things and you're you know,

652
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 17: I'm talking about focusing on the the daily grind, and

653
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 17: I think there's little things throughout the day that he's

654
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 17: probably so focused on too, that the rest of it

655
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 17: becomes kind of nonsense. And if you're able to just

656
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 17: focus on that little thing that you're doing at that time,

657
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 17: then that's the best way you can kind of keep

658
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 17: focus and keep the task at hand, you know, the

659
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 17: most important, and and it looks like he's doing that, so.

660
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 10: Joe, after all these years of facing you at Cleveland

661
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 10: Browns and and then you know, we many of us

662
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 10: want we're here for all of those games. How where

663
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 10: is it for you to be standing in for orange

664
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 10: footballs right now or wearing a a Cleveland Brown's sweatshirt.

665
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 8: Yeah.

666
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 17: I think it would probably be a little bit different

667
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 17: if I was, you know, coming here, uh four or

668
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 17: five years ago, but you know, haven't bounced around a

669
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 17: few spots now. Uh, it's probably not quite as different.

670
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 17: You know, teams change so much, uh from year to

671
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 17: year in this league. Uh, coaches change, organizations change, So

672
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,959
Speaker 17: when you look back on it, it's really you know,

673
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 17: they're they're they're so separate that there's probably a little

674
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 17: bit of strangeness to it. But overall, like I said,

675
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 17: you're kind of coming here and you focus on meeting

676
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 17: the new guys that better on your team, and y

677
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 17: I it just it just feels like football.

678
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 8: And and that's the most important thing.

679
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:01,239
Speaker 6: Joe.

680
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 7: I remember covering the game in Baltimore.

681
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 13: I think your wife was expecting that day that day

682
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 13: and yeah, right after the game.

683
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 8: Yeah.

684
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 17: Yeah, he's ten years old, even fourth grade. Yeah, she

685
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 17: had him at eleven thirty two before. Thank god she

686
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 17: had him before the game. I didn't think it would

687
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 17: affect me that much, to be honest with you, and

688
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 17: I paced around that locker room until it happened. Yeah,

689
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 17: definitely a good thing that happened before one o'clock.

690
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 2: Joe, I know you're looking for an opportunity and that

691
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 2: this is the one that came about for you.

692
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 5: But what have you gotten to know would appreciate about.

693
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 15: Coach Tfanski, Alex van Pelp, the rest of the staff

694
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 15: that made this a comfortable spot for it?

695
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's it's funny. I mean even before I uh

696
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 8: came and worked out out here.

697
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 17: Uh, Gary Kubiak gave me a call and just you know,

698
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 17: had a lot of praise for these guys, and you know,

699
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 17: I I trust.

700
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 8: Gary's were uh you know, I was only with them

701
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 8: one year, but.

702
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 17: Very honest man, and uh so what what he says

703
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 17: goes and definitely had a lot of good things to

704
00:25:59,000 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 17: say about it.

705
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 8: So I've seen that so.

706
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 12: Far that you didn't have You weren't on a team

707
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 12: until this late season.

708
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 17: Oh, I think, you know, I have a lot of

709
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 17: pride in myself and I think, uh yeah, I think

710
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 17: very surprised at least early on and throughout the course

711
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 17: of the off season. But you know, as the season

712
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 17: kind of goes along. I think the surprise turns into

713
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 17: other things and you're not necessarily not necessarily surprised anymore.

714
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 17: And listen, I think also, I you know this will

715
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 17: be this is my sixteenth year in the locker room.

716
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 17: You've seen a million things, So to be super surprised

717
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 17: by something, you're probably you know, you probably don't have

718
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 17: your head in the right spot. You know, you shouldn't

719
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 17: be surprised by anything at this point.

720
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 10: After the Browns, you know, you agreed to come here.

721
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,360
Speaker 10: Then Joe Burrow goes down just wondering, I mean, did

722
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 10: you start to have like any other phone calls or

723
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 10: anything like that.

724
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,199
Speaker 17: No, you don't even think about that stuff. You know,

725
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 17: you make a decision and you feel good about it.

726
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 17: And really my decision was just some kind of opportunity

727
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 17: and you know, I know I still want to play football,

728
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 17: and you know, anywhere anything close to being put in

729
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 17: the locker room. And given that opportunity, you know, all

730
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 17: the other things kind of go out the window.

731
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 8: At that point. You don't really look back.

732
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 9: What He's working out to stay in shape and gets

733
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 9: your dig in a car.

734
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 17: Of course, yeah, listen, I mean working out so much

735
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 17: part of so part of my life now, you know.

736
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 17: And throwing the football so much fun now listen. I

737
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 17: mean I haven't really been able to throw to like

738
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 17: top speed targets, but I've.

739
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 8: Been able to keep my arm shape.

740
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 17: And uh, you know that stuff will come when you

741
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 17: get out there and get with these guys.

742
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 15: Do you think the way that you played against them

743
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 15: last year had any factor in them pursuing you for

744
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 15: this position?

745
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 7: Who touchdown?

746
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 8: Who knows?

747
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 17: I guess it doesn't hurt to go play well when

748
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 17: you do have an opportunity to, but you never know

749
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 17: how that's going to affect the.

750
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 6: Want to.

751
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 17: You have to ask them what they wanted to see.

752
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 17: But I you know, I was, Uh, I was excited

753
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 17: to do it. I've never been through a workout until,

754
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 17: you know, since I came out of Delaware, So I

755
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 17: was excited to get in there and and do it.

756
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 17: And I got I gotta tell you you you want

757
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 17: to go and press so you feel a little bit

758
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 17: of something when you're going out there and working out,

759
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 17: like I'm sure everybody does.

760
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 8: But it wa it was cool when it was a

761
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 8: good workout.

762
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 7: Joe Sorry. Seven and three obviously speaks for itself.

763
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 5: In a lot of ways.

764
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 7: But what are your impressions of the team and what

765
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 7: do you think it's capable of.

766
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 8: They seem like a very close, uh you know, close group.

767
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 17: And you know when you're sitting back back at home

768
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:27,919
Speaker 17: on Sundays and you can watch all the games, and

769
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 17: you know, these IC North games always tend to be good.

770
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 17: So the Browns, you know, they were probably on the

771
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 17: TV screen a lot, and you know, they've obviously really

772
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 17: put These guys have obviously really put it together on defense.

773
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 17: They've run the ball consistently all year, even with losing

774
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 17: out on.

775
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 8: You know, best back in the league with Chubb.

776
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 17: So it's been impressive to watch them kind of just

777
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 17: continue to fight. And you know, when you're here in

778
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 17: the locker room, you hear about how close the team

779
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 17: is from some of the guys that I know, and

780
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 17: you can see it right away.

781
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 10: So Joe is your year old?

782
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 11: Was he a Ravens fan?

783
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 10: And is he now ready to switch allegiances and become

784
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 10: a Brown.

785
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 17: Span Uh my gosh. You know, those guys are so

786
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 17: young when I was in Baltimore. They're had an awesome

787
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 17: age now, uh to to like really love football and

788
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 17: they do they like guys from all over the league,

789
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 17: mostly receivers.

790
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:21,959
Speaker 8: Uh, it's and they love it.

791
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 17: But yeah, my second hit my ten year old probably

792
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 17: all of them to a certain extent, but him especially,

793
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 17: Uh his Christmas list has like fifty Browns.

794
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 8: Things on it almost instantly. Three boys, four boys.

795
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 17: And yeah, yeah, well I was using a small ball

796
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 17: in the front yard when thrown to those guys. So

797
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 17: maybe not the best thing. The oldest and my els

798
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 17: is eleven, my youngest is five.

799
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 13: Where you really accomplished, but you've had you accomplished a

800
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 13: lot of you You drove four thousand other sports.

801
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 8: Super Bowl?

802
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 18: Why do you still want to play?

803
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 17: Uh, I'm to a certain extent, it's all I know.

804
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 17: I still have a lot of fun doing it. I

805
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 17: still I do feel like I have stuff left in

806
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 17: the tank. So I owe it to myself to continue

807
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 17: to push forward and try to play the game that

808
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 17: I love.

809
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 8: You know, until I really don't feel like I can

810
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 8: do it anyone.

811
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 10: Any of my best memories the thirty one thirty victory

812
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 10: over the Browns last year in Week two? Can you

813
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 10: just relive what that must have been?

814
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 17: Yeah, you know, there's there's a ton of memories to

815
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 17: rank that one, I don't know where it would rank,

816
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 17: but in terms of just how crazy it was and

817
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 17: how unlikely, it was probably the craziest game that I've

818
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 17: been a part a part of. In the finish the

819
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 17: locker room after that game, sorry, guys, I mean it

820
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 17: was another level.

821
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 8: But you know it was week two.

822
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 17: You know, I think these guys have a lot more

823
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 17: to you know, we have a lot more to play

824
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 17: what to play for at this point in the season.

825
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 8: Ten weeks in seven and three, So this is when

826
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 8: it really gets exciting. Guys.

827
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 13: Nick Foles comes to mind, who got in there just

828
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 13: the right time to use his team to a simplicate

829
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 13: cross your mind.

830
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 8: I'm sure it's crossed my family's mind.

831
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 17: I mean, in my case, like I said, you really

832
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 17: have to focus on the daily part of it and

833
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 17: taking it day by day. And five six days ago,

834
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 17: that was coming out here and making sure that I

835
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 17: could do have the best workout that I've had, and uh,

836
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 17: you know, now it's coming in here and grinding away

837
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 17: and trying to learn the offense and listen to listening

838
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 17: to everything during the walkthroughs, and also becoming part of

839
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 17: the team prove that I you know, prove that I

840
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 17: belonged to be, you know, to be on the team.

841
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 17: Go out to practice today and when I throw the ball,

842
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 17: you know, make sure people.

843
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 8: See that I can I can still do it.

844
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 17: And I I mean my teammates, you know, you you want,

845
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 17: you know, you want to be a part of the

846
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 17: locker room for real. And I think that's the number

847
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 17: one goal when you first come on to a team.

848
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 7: How long does it take the offense here, It's.

849
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 8: Just it depends.

850
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 17: I mean, there is some familiarity with with with some

851
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 17: of the verbiage that Kevin has and and things like that,

852
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 17: so it makes certain parts of it a little easier.

853
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 17: And then you know, as as you look at the

854
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 17: whole offense and then you kind of pare it down

855
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 17: to a game plan, that makes it a little bit

856
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 17: easier also, so you can kind of like take hole

857
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 17: and then breaking it down into a part and you know,

858
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 17: you can get it pretty quickly.

859
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 7: And when you were you those were emen, the Seeds

860
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 7: you were part of.

861
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 2: They won a lot of games, you know, they were

862
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 2: they were good in the clutch, and you.

863
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 6: Know it in the late game situations.

864
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 2: What goes in the mindset of a team that makes them,

865
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 2: you know, six that helps them succeed in that those.

866
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 17: Moments like this, you you look back on on those

867
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 17: teams and you know, I think playing in this division

868
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 17: and just you we always had a lot of tight.

869
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 8: Games, and we lost some of them and we won

870
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 8: some of them. But I mean, listen, so many good games.

871
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 17: You try to tell people when I played against the

872
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 17: Cleveland Browns like they went when when there weren't a

873
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 17: ton of wins here every year, there was a ton

874
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 17: of really good games. And when you get used to

875
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 17: playing the close games in the fourth quarter, we're not

876
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 17: just blown people out. It really lends itself well to

877
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 17: play and playoff football because you know you're going to

878
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 17: face good defenses and good offenses, and you know sometimes

879
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:08,959
Speaker 17: throughout the year you can kind of just go out

880
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 17: there and beat up on a team and you win

881
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 17: thirty five to fifteen, and you know, what are you

882
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 17: getting out of that besides kind of getting your confidence.

883
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 8: Going and everything like that.

884
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,959
Speaker 17: But when you can play tight games consistently, and when

885
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 17: you can you know, when things are muddy kind of

886
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 17: like last year last week against the Steelers, you know,

887
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 17: you know you're not going to have clean games against

888
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 17: those guys, no matter how you may feel you should do.

889
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 17: I think those things all kind of help your the

890
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 17: mental part of it and the resilience of the team

891
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 17: come late.

892
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 5: In the season.

893
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 10: How glad are you that you are on the same

894
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 10: team as Miles Garrett now as opposed.

895
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 17: To about yeah you know, I've always you've lined up

896
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 17: across from now get to see him in person. They

897
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 17: always look a little bit more inviting and friendly when

898
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 17: they're not when they're not in their uniform and helmet

899
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 17: shoulder pads. But yeah, he's a monster and he's had

900
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 17: a hell of a year, So definitely good to be

901
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 17: on the same side of SI.

902
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 14: When all the players were done, it was time for

903
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 14: head coach Kevin Stefans to speak to the media, and

904
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 14: he gave everybody a preview of the Denver Broncos.

905
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 18: Or straight they're playing very well period. They're also playing

906
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 18: really well at home. It's a tough place to play.

907
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 18: It's loud, so we have to be about our business. Obviously,

908
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 18: well coached, good players, but the story with their four

909
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 18: game winning streak is the turnover margin.

910
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 5: They're doing a great job of getting the football.

911
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 18: I think thirteen maybe in the last five games takeaways,

912
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 18: which is incredible.

913
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 5: So you have to.

914
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 18: Take care of the ball, and then they're doing a

915
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 18: nice job of taking care of the ball. They're winning

916
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 18: that turn of a margin. We know how important that

917
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 18: is to winning and losing. So huge challenge for us

918
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 18: AFC opponent on the road. So we have to have

919
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 18: a great week of practice and with that, I'll take

920
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 18: any questions.

921
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 11: Think Kevin, would you mentioned how companies to play we're doing.

922
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 11: How much of a challenge is that it's first road

923
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,720
Speaker 11: start in the NFL. Do you think you live anything

924
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,240
Speaker 11: from the scandals.

925
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 18: I think we do lean on that Seattle week. When

926
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 18: you go into these buildings and stadiums that are that loud,

927
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 18: there are certain certain things that you have to do

928
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 18: offensively to communicate, and that's communicating in the huddle, at

929
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 18: the line of scrimmage, on the sideline. So Dorian obviously

930
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 18: was a big part of that and experience that. But yeah,

931
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 18: it's a tough place to play and the crowd noise

932
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 18: is a big part of that.

933
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 19: Kevin, four months later, did the Greenbrier work? Did you

934
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 19: get the intended results of that?

935
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 18: I don't, I mean, I don't know. I think for

936
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 18: me I can barely remember it where.

937
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 19: Were We've had guys like bring it up in other questions.

938
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 19: So someone brought it up to you like that they

939
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 19: thought occurred.

940
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 18: Worked from which perspective anything and chemistry, Yeah, I think

941
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 18: when we talked about I mean, part of that is

942
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 18: wherever you go and you're under one roof, it's very

943
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 18: organic to come together and hang out. And it's just

944
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 18: you know, my experience at the Vikings all those years

945
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 18: we went way to Mankato, which was an hour away

946
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 18: and you were under one roof. Gauge Hall was a

947
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 18: dormitory no longer standing, but I just think there was

948
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 18: a shared, you know, shared group of guys.

949
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 5: In one place.

950
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 18: So I think from that perspective, it's just it's a

951
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 18: way of getting guys to hang out with each other

952
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 18: when it's hard to do when you're jumping in the

953
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 18: car and you're heading home after practice.

954
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:26,879
Speaker 15: Oppressions at Joe Flaker.

955
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 5: Joe's done a great job.

956
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,280
Speaker 18: You know, he and I have a lot of mutual

957
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 18: people in this business that we know. I have not

958
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 18: worked with Joe previously, but has been in a lot

959
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 18: of systems. So somebody that I can talk to about

960
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 18: different systems, different coaches, things he's called things in the past.

961
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 18: So a wealth of knowledge and a great resource for

962
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 18: not just the quarterback room, but this entire team.

963
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 15: He doesn't feel them sorry you say, he doesn't feel

964
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:52,760
Speaker 15: the need to necessarily put Dori.

965
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 5: And Eddie's you know, knowing that.

966
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 15: It's a Super Bowl winning quarterback and what have you have.

967
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 15: You got those conversations with him though about what his

968
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 15: role is and how he's going.

969
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 11: To kind of find an here.

970
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:03,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's a pro.

971
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 18: He just has to be a great teammate and that's

972
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 18: what he's done. And part of being a great teammate

973
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,879
Speaker 18: is showing up and doing your job. And think about

974
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 18: all the guys we've had over the years, veterans that

975
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 18: provide great leadership without having to say much.

976
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 5: You know, we have guys on our roster now that

977
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 5: do that.

978
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 18: So Joe's just going to be himself in his own

979
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 18: unique and authentic way and help this football team.

980
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 5: By the way he prepares, your number two quarterback in

981
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 5: Denver is going.

982
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:32,280
Speaker 18: To be well, we'll worry about all the roster stuff,

983
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:33,360
Speaker 18: you know, throughout the weeks.

984
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 7: But no, Kevin, did you observe the little workout of

985
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 7: a Fleaco.

986
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 8: Yes, think of his mobility at age thirty eight.

987
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 5: Looked better than you at thirty eight.

988
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 15: If Kevin, you if you were obviously compsity of what

989
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,240
Speaker 15: Denver's done in his last couple of weeks.

990
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 2: First four weeks the season they lost.

991
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 5: For Hims by.

992
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 10: One point, and now look at that four eight in

993
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 10: the street.

994
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 6: They've won three of their last.

995
00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,720
Speaker 15: Four games by his umber two points.

996
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 5: Turnovers obviously part of that.

997
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 6: But are you.

998
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 15: Noticing that they're doing something differently that's kind of trying

999
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 15: to flip those once type games.

1000
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 18: Yeah, there's always little nuances to scheme that you adjust

1001
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 18: as the season goes on, and you come into a

1002
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 18: season thinking you're going to be doing one thing, and

1003
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 18: you oftentimes adjust based on what's in front of you

1004
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 18: and how you're doing. So there's certainly things that they're

1005
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 18: adjusting from a schematic standpoint, But I can't overstate how

1006
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,439
Speaker 18: important that turnaver margin is when you're talking about winning

1007
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 18: and losing.

1008
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 19: Kevin, what was I mean, it's natural for a young

1009
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 19: player when you bring in someone's accomplished as Joe to

1010
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 19: kind of wonder what it means for them. So what

1011
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 19: was your message to Dorian this week with Joe coming in.

1012
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 18: Yeah, honestly, Dorian needs to focus on his job. That's

1013
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,879
Speaker 18: what he's done his whole time he's been here. He's

1014
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 18: done a great job. You know, we had a spot

1015
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 18: in the room. We had to add a quarterback. I

1016
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 18: think we added a guy with great experience who fits

1017
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 18: in really well in that room. But as far as

1018
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 18: it relates to Dorian's preparation and nothing changes.

1019
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 6: We don't get to talk.

1020
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 10: James warts to more about as grace the defensive played

1021
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 10: one killing seems.

1022
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,959
Speaker 16: To be you know that small, shifty third down back

1023
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 16: like head.

1024
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 17: And showing lash league war and you know.

1025
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 6: They've got some guys who've done for me. Is the

1026
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 6: a focal point you know to try to slow that

1027
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 6: guy down?

1028
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 18: Yeah, well, you know those are good players that you

1029
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 18: just mentioned, Fred, So you know you're gonna play in

1030
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 18: these games where there's gonna be some whether they're big

1031
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 18: and physical or small and physical. You gotta find ways

1032
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:34,399
Speaker 18: to get him on the ground. There's definitely plays that

1033
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 18: we can fit better, that we can tackle better. That

1034
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 18: will never change. We're always trying to play sound defense. Certainly,

1035
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 18: sound run defense takes all eleven guys doing their job

1036
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 18: being where they're supposed to be, and then ultimately just

1037
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 18: getting the player on the ground.

1038
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 10: Bigtory over you guys in Week two last year with

1039
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 10: the Jets. Give you kind of the knowledge of the

1040
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 10: vibe that he still has plenty left in the tank.

1041
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 18: Well, I think with Joey's he's got that's just one game.

1042
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,399
Speaker 18: I think he has plenty of games that you can

1043
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 18: evaluate over his career. Again, brought him in for a

1044
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 18: workout to see physically how he looked, But I think

1045
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 18: it's it's a total evaluation of his whole career.

1046
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 15: Really interesting of how that tackle quotation work with Hudson

1047
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 15: and Dewan And is that something you want to keep

1048
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 15: doing or is that something you did just add of

1049
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 15: necessity with the want coming back.

1050
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 18: Yeah, we'll see really as we move forward, see how

1051
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 18: Dewan continues to respond coming off that injury. But we'll

1052
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 18: always use our players in spots where we feel like

1053
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:38,720
Speaker 18: their best.

1054
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:44,240
Speaker 9: The Shawn comes in here with that reputation and players

1055
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 9: mean gravitate to him like immediately. So have you seen

1056
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 9: that relationship with the players and Dorian really?

1057
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,839
Speaker 18: Yeah, but Dorian's a rookie, he's a young player. He's

1058
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 18: you know, first things first, do your job, and I

1059
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 18: think he's doing that. And I think veterans respect when

1060
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,320
Speaker 18: when you're a young player and you work at your craft.

1061
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 18: So that's something that I've seen from Dorian really from

1062
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 18: day one. He works very hard at his job, and

1063
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 18: I think he's getting even better at working at his job.

1064
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 5: And his teammates see him prepare.

1065
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 18: But as the starting quarterback, when you're out there, you're

1066
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,439
Speaker 18: leading the football team, you're leading the offense. It's it's

1067
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 18: just how it goes with the territory and it's something

1068
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:22,359
Speaker 18: that Dorian's very comfortable doing.

1069
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 5: He's done it his whole life.

1070
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 12: Kevin, Denzel and Grants are on the pre practice report

1071
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:27,919
Speaker 12: and deserted.

1072
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 6: Sundy be ready for something?

1073
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 5: Well, see it's Wednesday.

1074
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 11: A want is he handed it for? I? R?

1075
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 5: Is it something?

1076
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 12: Yeah?

1077
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,840
Speaker 10: Russell Wilson and just how well he's been playing, especially

1078
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 10: in this four game stretch.

1079
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, Russell's playing great.

1080
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 18: I've seen him play quite a bit over over my

1081
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 18: career and just watching him, and I was fortunate enough

1082
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 18: to be part of the coaching staff down there at

1083
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 18: the Senior Bowl when he was coming out, so I

1084
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 18: got to know Russell for that week and just was

1085
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 18: an unbelievable person, unbelievable player. I think he's playing at

1086
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 18: a high level, like I mentioned, taking care of the football,

1087
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 18: running their offense really really well, and is very capable

1088
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 18: of making those off schedule plays that he's made his

1089
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:11,439
Speaker 18: whole career.

1090
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,320
Speaker 5: You've seen him do it in these games.

1091
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 18: He gets, he gets out of the pocket, and he

1092
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 18: can run, he can throw it to all areas of field.

1093
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 18: So he's a major major point of this offense.

1094
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 11: Does a Flacco's exposure to Kubiak involvedmore will make it

1095
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 11: a little easier for him some transition.

1096
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 7: To their offense.

1097
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,320
Speaker 18: I think that helps you know some of the stuff

1098
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,720
Speaker 18: he did with coach Lafleur at the Jets as well.

1099
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:36,919
Speaker 18: He's been in Denver, was with Rich Skangarello, so he's

1100
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 18: been in similar systems. So when you're a quarterback like

1101
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 18: Joe and you've been in a bunch of systems, you're

1102
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 18: pretty good at picking these playbooks up quickly.

1103
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 5: So he's working hard at that.

1104
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 15: And when it comes to rog games, you're used the

1105
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 15: crowd noise of practice to get guys raise.

1106
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 19: I didn't get them ready for being a mile high.

1107
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 18: Yeah, I think that's all part every team that goes

1108
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 18: into their building talk about that there are things that

1109
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 18: you can do during the week to prepare yourself.

1110
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 5: There's things that you can do during the game to

1111
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:06,280
Speaker 5: prepare yourself.

1112
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 18: But we also have guys that have played there both

1113
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 18: as a visitor and played there as being a Bronco,

1114
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 18: so we have insight into that as well.

1115
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 10: Kind of instant cred do you have in the locker

1116
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 10: room and in the meetings and out on the field

1117
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,839
Speaker 10: when you're a former Super Bowl MVP and these guys

1118
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 10: know you've been there and done it.

1119
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 18: Yeah, you know, I don't know that the players look

1120
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 18: at it that way, Mary Kay. I think they see,

1121
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 18: you know, a guy that's joining our team as a

1122
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 18: teammate is going to do whatever he's asked to do

1123
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 18: in the meeting rooms, on the practice field, you name,

1124
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 18: it's really just goes about his business.

1125
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:41,439
Speaker 10: Have been a couple of days, but how you're seeing

1126
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:46,240
Speaker 10: Dorian start to pick Joe's brain, It all just about his.

1127
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 3: Experience in the week.

1128
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 18: I think all those conversations happen really in every meeting

1129
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 18: I sit in there, in the quarterback meetings this morning

1130
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:57,399
Speaker 18: and throughout this week. You talk a lot about what

1131
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 18: you see on film and your different experiences. So I

1132
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,879
Speaker 18: think between Joe and PJ with AVP, I think there's

1133
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,439
Speaker 18: a lot of experienced people in there that can help

1134
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:07,320
Speaker 18: a young player.

1135
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 2: Sho tweak that offense over the course of this season.

1136
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 2: How are they different from where they were you maybe

1137
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 2: for five weeks ago.

1138
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 18: Yeah, I mean they're explosive. They have explosive playmakers on

1139
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,720
Speaker 18: the perimeter from their backfield. You know, talked about Russell

1140
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 18: as the quarterback. I mean they can be super explosive,

1141
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 18: and I think the thing you're seeing recently is just

1142
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 18: how well they're taking care of the ball, which compliments

1143
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 18: how their defense is playing as well.

1144
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 12: That's whorings the leadership.

1145
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 16: The guys before the game said that they were impressed

1146
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 16: with him kind of correcting them and knowing what to do,

1147
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 16: and then we saw that on that last two minutes

1148
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 16: him pick Kareem up and put him in place. Has

1149
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 16: he impressed you with his ability to not only understand

1150
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 16: the playbook, but to be able to get his team

1151
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 16: rallied around it and show them what they.

1152
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 5: Need to do well.

1153
00:44:56,320 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 18: I think I think that's the quarterback's job. Cam regardless

1154
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 18: of how many years you're in this thing. Yet that's

1155
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 18: your job to direct traffic, to operate, to get people

1156
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,319
Speaker 18: lined up, those type of things. So that's why he

1157
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 18: works so hard, and young quarterbacks have to work so

1158
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 18: hard at knowing their jobs so they can help everybody

1159
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 18: else do their job.

1160
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 7: A couple more huge manser Fay allowed to do with

1161
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 7: how the game's called azing, but Eve the more story

1162
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:21,320
Speaker 7: for how they are plays.

1163
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 5: Do you feel like you can expand I guess.

1164
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 6: Play calls of fans.

1165
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 18: Yeah, I think every game plan is different. Every game

1166
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,280
Speaker 18: plan is based on what you know, what you're doing,

1167
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 18: what the defense is doing, what they're taking away, those

1168
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 18: type of things. So I think you have to be

1169
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 18: ready going into every week of figuring out based on

1170
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 18: matchups what you want to do.

1171
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 7: Kevin, pretty much the.

1172
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 18: Teams are playing the best houre the ones that have

1173
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 18: had their opting day started quarterback successfully stay healthy.

1174
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,760
Speaker 15: You guys are the exception to that, and you've found

1175
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 15: ways to win games just like the validity in that road.

1176
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 7: What is it about the culture you've created a quarterback that.

1177
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 15: Has allowed for you to stay successful Spike having several.

1178
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 5: Different guys to play, Yeah, I don't.

1179
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 18: We just look at it as we have a job

1180
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 18: to do, regardless of who's playing any of our positions.

1181
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 18: This is how it works in the NFL. Guys are

1182
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 18: in and out of your lineup, and we just know that.

1183
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 5: We have a job to do.
