1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: I do look at the roster and what we have

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: in the coaching staff. We should win games. We had

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: to perform though. We're gonna hold our up to the

4
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: high standard no matter what happens. And I'm defense gonna

5
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 1: do what they do and last time I heard they

6
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: can't win at Telescope Points. This is the Cleveland Browns

17
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: Good evening, Kenneth, and it's time for four downs. First down,

18
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: all right, first one up, losing streak gets hit three.

19
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: What's your takeaways from the game against the New England

20
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: Patriots that dropped the Browns to two and four. Is

21
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: one of the first times you can honestly say that

22
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 1: all three phases did not show up for the football game.

23
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: Hits the score of the game in which it was

24
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: a blowout, and in the second half it was a

25
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: no contest situation in which the Patriots dominated the football

26
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: game in all three phases. We have mishaps, we have

27
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: miss occurrences, we have misqes, we had a lot of

28
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: mrs hits the terms being used. And that's where what

29
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: I really make of the football game. Very disappoint and

30
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: again because in the first half it was clear to

31
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: me from a talent standpoint and this is where we

32
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: keep going to better football team that we are. But

33
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: it's not about talent. It's about execution. It's about desire.

34
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 1: It's about the sense and will to get out there

35
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: and do things the right way and not make the

36
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: same mistakes over and over again. And we paid for it.

37
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: You know, the mistakes got out of control in the

38
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: second half and there was a little bit a glimpse

39
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: of life, but that immediately got shut off in the

40
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: second half. There Bailey Zappy played well and they really

41
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: took care of him. In the second half, New England did,

42
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: taking care of the rookie out of Western Kentucky. They

43
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,119
Speaker 1: got themselves a little bit of a quarterback controversy as

44
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: New England improved to three and three. But no rest

45
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: for the weary off you go to the Baltimore Ravens.

46
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: Will talk a little bit more about them coming up

47
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: here momentarily, but we're on the second down, second down.

48
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: John Johnson the Third, he had some strong commentary earlier

49
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: this afternoon about the team today when he was asked

50
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: about how the team adjust adjust from admitting that they

51
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: didn't play the are very best actually correcting the mistakes

52
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: that have been happening. Here's what John Johnson the Third

53
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: had to set. Yeah, it has to be like a

54
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: it's a commitment thing. Like when practice is over in

55
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: our day is done. You can't just run out of

56
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: the building and forget about, you know, your job. I

57
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: think you need everyone in this building to really like

58
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: be a in on on the task at hand. And um,

59
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: right now I think we're at a place where that's

60
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: not the case. So on whatever we gotta do to

61
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: get as many guys, if not everyone you know and

62
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: on the same page. I think that's what it is,

63
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: because that's the only way thing that's gonna turn Gerarde.

64
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: Your thoughts, well, my thoughts are really civil. Can if

65
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: you're not executing, if you're doing the wrong things weekend

66
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: and week out, that right there just being a professional

67
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: because you don't get to the pros by accident. You

68
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: have to have done something of merried in college and

69
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: understand what studying is all about, and doing extra work

70
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: and paying the price is all about. So to make

71
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: the assumption that once you get to the pros that

72
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: that goes out the window is absurd to me and

73
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: a howd of a hard time grasping the idea that

74
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: eyes can honestly think that you don't take your work

75
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: home with you, or that you rush out of the building.

76
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: Because again, it is a privilege to play in the

77
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: National Football League. And if you're approaching in the mindset

78
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: that it's all right and that it's assume that you're

79
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,839
Speaker 1: gonna be here, think again, my friends, you will find

80
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: yourself unemployed quick fast in our hurry, because this league

81
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: can be very unforgiving and right now for the guys

82
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: who are making the same mistakes time and timing in.

83
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: They're getting a miss a misdiagnosis of what really happens

84
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: in the National Football League because normally you don't get

85
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: these many opportunities, and they should. Relative fact that they're

86
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: still getting them with the same mistakes being made time

87
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: and time again. It blows me away that guys have

88
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: not embraced this and that John has to go public

89
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: to say something like this, and guys have not got

90
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: the memo that you have to stick around, especially when

91
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: you're struggling, and say to yourself, what can I do

92
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: to make things better? Because there are a thousand guys

93
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: out there who are in college right now, who are

94
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: a free atus right now, who would die to be

95
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: in your position to play football at the highest level. Gerard,

96
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: I can't say it any better myself because you actually

97
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: played at the high level, and I'm just to hanger

98
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: on my friend. We go to third down down. Despite

99
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: everything going on in the three game losing streaks, still

100
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: right in front of in terms of winning divisions, it

101
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: is a one game ahead situation both Cincinnati and Baltimore

102
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: three and three, Browns and Steelers to and four. A

103
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: successful two weeks two weeks put you right back in

104
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: the driver's seat. How do you get focused here? It's

105
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: really simple. You just said it, so you spell it

106
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: out perfectly. If you don't get the memo, if you

107
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,799
Speaker 1: don't understand what's at stake here, that being your season

108
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: because at this point, well we're gonna play for respectability.

109
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: It's it's not even a halfway point yet. We should

110
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: not be making those assertions. But because of us taking place,

111
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: with these losing streaks and losing the team that you

112
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: should have beat, you now find yourself, well, your marginally

113
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: for era is is damn near zero, in which you

114
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: have to win your division in order to get into

115
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: the playoff us. And what this was show, Keen is

116
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: if the same guys are making the same mistakes, and

117
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: if the same guys are rushing out of the building,

118
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: and if the same guys are not applying themselves at

119
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: home and taking their work with them, you don't want

120
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: those guys around because those guys are basically telling you,

121
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm in it for the paycheck, I'm in it for

122
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: people telling me how great I am, and I'm in

123
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: it for the wrong reasons. It shouldn't just be about

124
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: money and acknowledgement. It has to be about I want

125
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: to win games, and I want to pay the price

126
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: and do things necessary to get to a championship and

127
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: then win one. So really it's that simple, and you

128
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: have to win your division in order to get the

129
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: job done now at this point, So this game is

130
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: a playoff game. We're in week seven and we're talking

131
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 1: playoff games that can't be waiting around. You know, they're

132
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 1: they've left themselves absolutely no margin for air here grade.

133
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we keep talking about Deshaun Watson

134
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: being able to play on December fourth, where you have

135
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: to be able to get him acclimated as well. I

136
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: know he'll be able to practice starting in the month

137
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: of November, but you're gonna have to be able to

138
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: get him acclimated when you're actually able to play football.

139
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: And so you don't want to be you don't want

140
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: to have to put the weight of the world hold

141
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: on him by the time you actually started to play

142
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: football game. So you gotta try to put some wins

143
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: underneath you now because with more games comes more tape.

144
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: And I do think there is a nice healthy fear

145
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: with the fans there where all right, you've had six games,

146
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: four and a half. I think we're really good with

147
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brisette. I think Jacoby Brisett has done a really

148
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: admirable job of leading the way here. But we know

149
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: what this is. Come December four, Deshaun Watson's going to play.

150
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: But either Stack wins Hay in the barn, however you

151
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: want to put it, you got. You gotta put yourself

152
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: out there with a respectable record by the time DeShawn

153
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: Watson you get there, because you don't want to waste

154
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: any time. You want to be able to make the

155
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: most of the time you have. Oh, certainly, you're absolutely right.

156
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: And the sad part about it is we've given away wins.

157
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: And that's the part that's so frustrating and that you

158
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: have outside of and even the Patrons game, though it

159
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: was lopsided. I didn't enter that game or extra that

160
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: game saying they were the better from a talent standpoint

161
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: football team, kid, but they definitely did not make as

162
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: men mistakes as we made, so I guess that makes

163
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,559
Speaker 1: them the better football team, which goes to show again,

164
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: and this is probably where the problems at for the

165
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,679
Speaker 1: guys out there who have been told that they're talented.

166
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: Yes you are, but that's not enough. You have to

167
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: do things the right way in the context of what

168
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: the Defense and Office and the special teams call on

169
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: that particular play in a situation in that particular plate dictates,

170
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: and for some reason we cannot get that done. You're

171
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: right about that. It brings us the fourth down. Fourth down?

172
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: All right, here comes the Ravens. Well, we're getting ready

173
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: to go to the Ravens M and T Bank Stadium

174
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: one pm on Sunday, and they're coming off loss against

175
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: the New York Giants, where you know, it's it's one

176
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 1: step forward and to step back for the Ravens. They

177
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: thought they had themselves win and things were getting right

178
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: at again defensively, and then the Giants came from behind

179
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: and got them. And they're having problems defensively right now,

180
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: Gerard there three and three. They're pointing for years on defense,

181
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: and they have a slew of injuries right now, including

182
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. Now they you look at where they're at

183
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: right now. Lamar Jackson today he was limited with a

184
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 1: hip injury, also missing a little bit of time or

185
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: being limited today in practice. Mark Andrews did not practice

186
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: today with a knee injury. Rashod Bateman was limited today

187
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: with a foot injury. Class Campbell did not practice today

188
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: with a foot injury. Backup then Cleveland did not practice

189
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: today with a foot injury. J K. Dobbins. Of course

190
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna take it very easy with him with that

191
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: knee injury from last year, from last year going into

192
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: this year. He did not practice today, justin Houston with

193
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: a groin injury. He was limited today. Marcus Peters, he

194
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: was resting today. Patrick Ricard he did not practice today.

195
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: He's a dual youth player. I mean they have a

196
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: lot of players now. Of course the Browns, they've had

197
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: a lot of guys out. It looks like Joe battonio uh,

198
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: he was resting today. It seems that Wyatt Teller will

199
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: probably not play on Sunday, according to what was said now.

200
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski didn't want to rule it out, but he

201
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: did say that things look bleak coming up on Sunday.

202
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: But it seems that the Ravens are almost as banged

203
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: up as the Cleveland Browns, if not just as banged

204
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: up as the Cleveland Browns. It's like they're worse in

205
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: my opinion. But I will say this from home. To

206
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: his credit, he had a good game. I watched the

207
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: tape and I thought he did a good job. He

208
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: didn't call his name much, and that's always a great

209
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: sign for a guy coming here as a backup, always

210
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: a great sign. But far as the Ravens are concerned,

211
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: if Andrews, in my mind is that he is the

212
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's primary target. And obviously the Ravens have shown

213
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: you if Lamar can't go, they're not the same football team.

214
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: Huntley comes in and does a good job, but he

215
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: doesn't win games. So if they're injured they can't go,

216
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: then it's unfortunately, it is what it is. But in

217
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: my my mind, I've watched his team the Ravens play,

218
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: and it's been a combination king of Lamar making pivotal

219
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: mistakes at the wrong time and being careless with the football.

220
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: That's really hurt them, and the defense will take the

221
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 1: ball with the football in the floor of an interception.

222
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: But at the same time, uncharacteristically of the Ravens defense,

223
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: they get gassed in the running game and give up

224
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: big plays as well. Yeah, last and you go back

225
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: to last week, they played the Giants. Wink Martindale, he

226
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,479
Speaker 1: left Baltimore. They brought in Mike McDonald, everybody was loving him,

227
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: and then things have certainly taken a turn in Baltimore

228
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: and Wink Martindale. He goes over to the New York Giants,

229
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: and now everybody loving him with the New York Giants,

230
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: and why not. The Giants have come out to a

231
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: very strong record, and right now Baltimore reeling after a

232
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 1: great first month. Offensively for Lamar Jackson, last two weeks

233
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: have not been his very best football. They want ugly

234
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: last week against Cincinnati, but with that loss, now they're

235
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: three and three and even though they're at the top

236
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: of the heap, it's not been the type of football

237
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: that they want it. But John Harball twenty three and

238
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 1: five all time against the Cleveland Brown So Kevin Stefanski

239
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: knows Gerard he has his work cut out for him

240
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: on Sunday. He certainly does. And obviously those times in

241
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: which Harball was ultra successful was at the lowest points

242
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: in our organization's ability to feel a really good football team,

243
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: and they took full fledge advantage of it alone with

244
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers. So that record, I get it. But

245
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: as of today, it's gonna be an interesting game because

246
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: as you said earlier can and when you alluded to it,

247
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: and you're right. Both teams had some obstacles that they

248
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: need to exercise and get out of their system in

249
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: order to wins football game. So it's gonna be very

250
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: interested to see which team does get things correct and

251
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: execute in order to get the job done. Browns fans

252

Speaker 1: we welcome in Brown Center Ethan Postic, who joins us

275
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: on the show. Ethan, thanks for joining us, Hey, thank

276
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 1: you for having me. First off, it is Postic. Right.

277
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: There was like a huge argument on how to pronounce

278
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: your last name, like within the media, like people were like, no,

279
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: it's po Chick, and I go, no, it's post Sick

280
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 1: and says it right here in the media. Guy. Yeah,

281
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: so uh, I would say both sides are technically right

282
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,599
Speaker 1: because it used to be like something like post Sakovich

283
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: or post Pochekovich. And when my ancestors came over they

284
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: changed it to post sick for Tallas Island. How many?

285
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: How many generations have you been here for? Oh, it's

286
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: been all I don't even know the specific. That's like

287
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: the old rumor in the family, but it's we've been

288
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: here for a while. That's so cool. Now you're from Lamont, Illinois, right, yes, sir,

289
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: Southwest suburbs part of three different uh counties? Correct? Uh? Well,

290
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: from my knowledge, we're part of Cook County, but uh

291
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: you might be. I would have to check that. I

292
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: read Wikipedia this morning to get ready for the interview,

293
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: because I went wild part of three different counties. I

294
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: was gonna go, which one is your favorite county? So

295
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: I imagine it's Cook County. Then well, I would say,

296
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: you know everything you read on Wikipedia is true? Uh so,

297
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, Cook County all the way. Did you

298
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: grew up a Bears fan? Then? Uh? More so Illinois fan.

299
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: My brother played at Illinois, and uh so I got

300
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: to watch him and his roommates and his buddies, and

301
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: so I kind of grew up watching them for the

302
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: most part. You ended up at l Yeah. Yeah, I

303
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: just you know, what, kind of wanted to do my

304
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: own thing, do something different. Um, you know, but I

305
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: definitely had a lot of like love and respect for

306
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: you know, everything my brother did and his uh his

307
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: his teammates. Um. So like my brother, you know, he

308
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: played center, he was a big center, Jeff Allen, he

309
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: played in the NFL a while he plowed and played

310
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL a little bit. So I was in

311
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: like six seventh grade looking up to those guys, looking

312
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: up to my brother, and uh, you know, he, my brother,

313
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: definitely led the way for me. What's it like being

314
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: a guy from the Midwest playing in the Southeast Conference?

315
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: It's fun, man. Uh, you know, you really only see

316
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: it on TV till you get there. So you know,

317
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: I grew up watching like Tim Tebow, person Harvin um Jordan's, Jefferson, Tyrone, Matthew,

318
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: like you know, all those L s U guys. I

319
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: grew up watching, you know, those l s U Alabama games,

320
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: the l s U Florida games. So, I mean you

321
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: are just the size of a house too. How do

322
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: you you you started out as a guard in the NFL. Correct? Yeah, yeah,

323
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: when I got to Seattle, I played guard in the

324
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: beginning and then uh center or later on? Did you

325
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: play center in college? Yeah? Center? In college. So you're

326
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: six six, you're not the quintessential center size. Like, have

327
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: you ever heard of the name Mark Stepnoski. He was

328
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: an old school tall center, right, He was an old

329
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: school short center. He was like a wrestler back in

330
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: the day. And he played for the Dallas Cowboys, like

331
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: in the early nineties with Troy Aitman and those guys. Yeah, yeah,

332
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: but he was like short and so like. But he

333
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: was like thin too. But a lot of guys are

334
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: like maybe a little bit shorter, a little bit squatter.

335
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you're six six. Is it a little bit

336
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: more difficult to play the position because you have just

337
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: been fantastic at the center spot? You know, I would

338
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: say it comes with its advantage is and disadvantages. Um.

339
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: You know, I don't necessarily want to get into all that, um,

340
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: but you know, I would say it has its advantages

341
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: and disadvantages. Can you tell us some advantages? I would

342
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: just say, like taking up space and length within this offense?

343
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 1: What do you like about playing in Bill Callahan's offensive scheme? Well,

344
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: first and foremost, man, like, just all the technique that

345
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: I've learned and all the you know how how like

346
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: the techniques work with different plays and um, how the

347
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: techniques work together with in combinations and stuff. And so

348
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: I just say, man, it's been a great learning experience,

349
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 1: has been a blessing. Um. And I'm just trying to

350
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: soak in as much as i can. H. So I'd

351
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: say it's just been a learning experience as best you can.

352
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: Ethan post like joining us here on the show, can

353
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: you explain to us the pin pool offensive blocking technique

354
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: as best you can, depending of the polling, as best

355
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: you can the both of the pinning and the polling. Um. Yeah,

356
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna try to keep it very generic, but

357
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: basically so one on lineman pins, the guy pins got down,

358
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: the other one polls, and I don't want to, you know,

359
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: get into the specifics of it. Oh please, let's get

360
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 1: let's go into the weeds, please because you know, other

361
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: teams listen to technique and stuff. So but one guy

362
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: pulls and the other guy pins, and uh, you know,

363
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 1: you give the ball to four Koreem and space and

364
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: let them do their thing. Ethan postic very button up

365
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 1: here on the preview show Getting Ready for the Ravens.

366
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: What are some of the things that you've seen on

367
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: the defensive front of the Baltimore Ravens getting ready for Sunday. Yeah. Man,

368
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: a really good group, really good defense. Um. You know

369
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens. So they got history of just being great

370
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: and they're you know, they're really great this year too.

371
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: So it's definitely a challenge. How does ethan postic relax

372
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: like offseason, like to fish and just spend time with family?

373
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: You like to fish. Did you see the walleye controversy

374
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 1: that happened here a couple of weeks ago. Yeah? Not good?

375
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: Uh man, I don't know. Uh, I don't know if

376
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: that was for pride or for the prize winnings, but uh,

377
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: not good. I mean it had to be for the money.

378
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: I mean did you see that they were trying to

379
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: win like thirty grand Yeah? Not good. Um yeah, that's

380
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: never a good thing. You've ever been tempted to put

381
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 1: weights in fish? No? Never remember. I might hold it

382
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: out a little bit more on a picture, but I'm

383
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 1: never gonna put weights in a fish. No, that's it's

384
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: it's not that serious. Now. I mean, you're from you're

385
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: from the midwest, Cook County. Are you a bass fisherman

386
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: or what type of fish do you like? To fish for. Yeah,

387
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: so I grew up bass fishing and uh, then I'm

388
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: going on to l s U and Donna in Louisiana.

389
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 1: I like to do like inshore saltwater. Um, and then

390
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: up here, you know, in the off season, we went

391
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: walleye fishing during O T A S And that was

392
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: fun too. I think walleye fishing is a lot more

393
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 1: relaxed if you're gonna, I mean, because it's just kind

394
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: of more trolling around and kind of doing it that way. Yeah,

395
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: it's more like trolling and uh, stuff like that. But uh,

396
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: and then it's fun. Though. It's fun to just get

397
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: out with your buddies and it's just a blessing to

398
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: be on the water, you know, catching fishes. Extra Ethan

464
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: a ticket to the game. Gerard, are we ready to

465
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: go around the league? I am ready. It's time to

466
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: go around the league? Question? The first Gerad what's your

467
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: reaction when you see Tom Brady yelling at his offensive

468
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: line in Sunday's lost of Pittsburgh. And this is after

469
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: he didn't practice Wednesday or go to the walkthrough on Saturday,

470
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,199
Speaker 1: and he attended Bob Craft's wedding on Friday night and

471
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: then traveled the Pittsburgh and his own private plane and

472
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: not with his team. I have words for it. I'm

473
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: at a loss for words, but I have words for it.

474
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 1: You can't do that if you don't show up the practice.

475
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 1: Wednesday is a major work day during the football week,

476
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 1: and then Friday you go out. You send another message

477
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: in which it says, I'm gonna get my private plane,

478
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do what's important to me right now, and

479
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: it gives a message to the rest of guys who

480
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: are following your lead that that's not that important to you.

481
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: And obviously you're one of the greatest to ever do it,

482
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: but still you have to lead guys with the mentality

483
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: that hey, I'm invested into it, I'm brought into it.

484
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: And then on top of that, you're gonna yell at

485
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: me when you warn that practice on a particular day,

486
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 1: maybe my time and maybe my issues I would have

487
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: been better had you been there. So no, I'm not

488
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 1: for it, and someone needs to say something. Man, I

489
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: want to disagree. I can't disagree because the only thing

490
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: I can say is he's a good cussor, like, if

491
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna lead, you better be a good cusser. Like

492
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: you can't. That's how you lose respect. Though, Okay, you're

493
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 1: gonna cuss him, No, no no, no, no, I agree. I agree.

494
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: Like the timing of it's terrible, but if you're gonna,

495
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: if you're gonna do it, you can't. It's hard to

496
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: explain on this network, but you get what I'm saying.

497
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,959
Speaker 1: You can't just throw them in certain it has to

498
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: rhyme and it has Yes, it has to be a

499
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: flow to it, and you can't. You can't do too

500
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: much of it, you know. There if I have to

501
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: mean some words have to mean something. Sorry, don't custom

502
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: me if you want to practice. I didn't know that

503
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 1: information because had you left out the part by him

504
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: just going to the thing on Friday, I would have

505
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: defended Tom. I would have defended him, and you know

506
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: I would have one day. People don't know this. One

507
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: day I said something, and I said something Gerard like

508
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: walked in and he misheard me, and that do you

509
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: you don't remember this? Jason Gibbs would remember this really well.

510
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 1: And grad did not hear me correctly. And I said

511
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: something like completely, like innocuous. It was like totally like hey,

512
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 1: and see in in in segment six, are we gonna

513
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: do this? And so and so? And Erra goes, excuse me,

514
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: what did you say to me? And I'm like, what's

515
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: the matter with you? And you go, oh, I thought

516
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 1: you said something different to me. I go, no, this

517
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,199
Speaker 1: was years ago. This was like season one of you

518
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: and me. I swear to you. I swear to you

519
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: that it wasn't Ryan Leaf and the reporter but give

520
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 1: started laughing. He goes, no, he did not say that.

521
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,719
Speaker 1: I was like, no, I would certainly not say that.

522
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 1: My goodness, gracious, is Tom Brady's still a top five

523
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL? Crap? Yes he is, because I'm

524
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: not gonna give me that falled out. Do you think

525
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: it's all time all time right now? Exactly? Because there,

526
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: right now, I have to say it. Joe my tan

527
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 1: is one of the greatest of all time. Doesn't mean

528
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 1: he's one of the greatest right now, Come on, he's

529
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 1: got taking these steps on the center. I'm sorry, my, my, my,

530
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 1: my disagreeing. Loyalty goes always goes to go to there.

531
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 1: You go exactly with my mom. You got you say

532
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,959
Speaker 1: something critical over You should be proud of that. He's not.

533
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 1: He's not. Let's call it. You know, he's not no

534
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 1: about that. He should have let's gerarde. Let's be honest.

535
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 1: He should have retired and he should have stayed. If

536
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: he wanted to retire, he should have stayed retired. Simple,

537
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: you still played at it. It's not easiest to sail,

538
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 1: and he should have just played. He should have just

539
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 1: played it. But you're right right now, he's said the

540
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: mixed messages. Okay, I need ten days for this and

541
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: now I'm gonna go on a Friday night. I mean,

542
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: you're doing you're living in both worlds and you gotta

543
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 1: pick a choose one. And that's the problem right here.

544
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: Like it's not I know, I'm not gonna to mean

545
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 1: other types of work. I'm not gonna do that. But

546
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 1: it's a competitive business where there's a scoreboard at the

547
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: end of the day of work, and it's a it's

548
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: a week lead up to it, and the whole world

549
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: knows what you've done at the end of the day

550
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 1: of work. And so I'm sorry. You're either all in

551
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: or no, I'm not sorry. You're either all in or

552
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:20,959
Speaker 1: you're all out, sir. And I know that you're one

553
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: of the greatest to ever do it, but this year

554
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: you're making a mockery of yourself. And and in twenty

555
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: years no one will remember this year. It's not like

556
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: he's he's not hurd his legacy. He's not doing that.

557
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: And I'm not I'm not I'm not team to know

558
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: and can I mean agree with you. I didn't see

559
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: We're just getting his report about missing Wednesday. That's like

560
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: numero no, that's your for him expning what I know.

561
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: That's his Wednesday and Thursday are his biggest days because

562
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: that's when you put in installation and you figure out

563
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: what you're gonna do. So the yell at guys on

564
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: a Sunday because you missed the key day for installation

565
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: of what you want to do agains a particular team

566
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: and also it says a message. And at that point

567
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: in time, we were all in agree with the Pittsburgh

568
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: stools with the worst team in the National Football League

569
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: obviously turned it around, and it just shows you that

570
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: you cannot rest on your loyals and take any team lightly.

571
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what they did, and they got beat.

572
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: He is a guy who whether or not this was

573
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: all and I'm sure some of it is is not

574
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: a gag or anything like that. I'm sure some of

575
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: it is is a bit of a show or whatever.

576
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: But it's all obsession. Obsession, obsession for nine months out

577
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: of the year or ten months out of the year,

578
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: whatever it is, no no, no, no fatty foods, no salt, whatever.

579
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: The diet, the workouts, the study, the sleep, the whole thing.

580
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: Everything is obsessed with winning. And he did that because

581
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: he knew he did not have the fiscal gifts of

582
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: some of the quarterbacks or some of the players of

583
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: his generation. And you can't give a and I would

584
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: use a different term if we were on a different network.

585
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: You cannot give a half hearted effort, and you certainly could.

586
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: You He couldn't do it when he was twenty seven,

587
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: and he couldn't do it when he's thirty seven, and

588
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: he surely can't do it when he's forty five, even

589
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,959
Speaker 1: though he's he's the most protected quarterback in the NFL.

590
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: He surely can't do that now. He still has time.

591
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: It's a seventeen game schedule. You can get back to basics.

592
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: But every single week, and I this part, I do

593
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: feel bad for him when I look on the internet

594
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: and I'm looking, you know, I'm getting ready for shows

595
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: and I'm looking for stories, and it's well, Tom Brady's

596
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: wife and family are horseback riding during the game, and

597
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: like that would kill me as a father and a husband.

598
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to deal with any of that. I

599
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: wouldn't want anybody in my business like that. But I

600
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: just shows you how match he is that she would

601
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: even do that and put that out there. So it's

602
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: it's a mess man. So I get the distraction, and

603
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: probably too. You like to think that there's somebody on

604
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers squad and he is tight with it, just

605
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: be around. But then it's that family piece and having

606
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 1: it blow up like that and going home to an

607
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: empty mansion lay alone, a mention in itself has to

608
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: be problematic. Cowboy owners Jerry Jones and Patriots owner Bob

609
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: Kraft got in a heated exchange regarding Roger Goodell's new

610
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: contract negotiations during yesterday's NFL ownership meeting session in New York,

611
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:26,479
Speaker 1: leading league and ownership sources told ESPN the owners, by

612
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: a vote of thirty one to one, concluded on Tuesday

613
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: that the league's compensation Committee is authorized to negotiate a

614
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: new deal with Goodell. Jones was the loan dis center. Well, okay,

615
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: so I wasn't gonna pay him more money then hearing

616
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,959
Speaker 1: how how heated could the debate be? I don't know

617
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: for what I mean? One, how did he even get

618
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: out that? Jones said what he said to Craft? Shouldn't

619
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: he be at a shouldn't he build his honeymoon? Jones

620
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: let that out? Why did he have to get mad?

621
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: Why do you gotta get married to the fall? Anyway?

622
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: I'm I on you said it best. I got my reasons,

623
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: and I don't think we can speculate on their. But

624
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: it makes no We will not do that, sir, We

625
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: will not do that anyway. All right, That is around

626
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: the league. Now that wasn't around the league. That was

627
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: that was a throwback. My goodness, gracious, well, there's a

628
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: lot of other stuff here where we didn't get to.

00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,360

Speaker 1: in the days Jerry Jones and Robert Pratt. There we go,

Speaker 1: be with you, guys, Good to be with you again.

656
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,120

657
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: very much for joining us. You sound great. And first off, Jim,

658
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: thank you again. And we're looking forward to this game

659
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: on Sunday, looking forward to hearing you again. And uh,

660
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: it's always a wonderful atmosphere, even though you know, we

661
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 1: know the history between these two teams, and we know

662
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: that the Browns they've lost three in a row, and

663
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: we go into this game needing a win desperately. Yeah,

664
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: we really do. Ken. It's it really is one of

665
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 1: the one of the all time best atmospheres for an

666
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,280
Speaker 1: NFL game. It almost has really kind of a college

667
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 1: feel to it. They really get repped up. That crowd

668
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: is in there, they're in there early, they're in there loud,

669
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: they're in their full voice, and they are a definite

670
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: factor in the game. It's something you really have to

671
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: address and be ready for. You know, silent snap counts,

672
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 1: good communication. I mean, that's the that's the mechanics of

673
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: the game. Now, the storylines of the game are really

674
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 1: you have two teams that I think are trying to

675
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: figure out what the heck is going on with this year.

676
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,760
Speaker 1: The Browns have their problems with the three game losing streak.

677
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: Get any of those games back, can't get the Jets

678
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: game back, Chargers game back, can't get that Falcons game back,

679
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: or what happened last week. But you're really approaching a

680
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,720
Speaker 1: very important two games set here with this one starting

681
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 1: it off Sunday and then the Monday night game against

682
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: Cincinnati back at home. Because of the yadded weight that

683
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: it's it's a division those are both division games and

684
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: that might be the only way into the playoffs. The

685
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: way the landscape looks right now, And if you're Baltimore,

686
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: you're saying, why can't we hold onto leads ourselves late

687
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: in the game. I mean, they're blowing leads in the

688
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, will Mark Jackson's turning the ball over in

689
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. So I don't think either team is

690
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: in a very good mood coming into this game on

691
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon. And Jim, is it fair to say that

692
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: for the Browns the playoffs start on Sunday? Yeah, I

693
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: think so, Gerade, I really do. I think. You know,

694
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: we've we've seen the Browns kick kind of put themselves

695
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 1: in a bad spot here because of what happened in

696
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 1: the weeks leading up to this game. UM, and division

697
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: games are always going to be important, and I know

698
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: that's the primary goal coming into the season. Let's win

699
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 1: the division. That's the that's the most direct route in.

700
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: We don't need help from anybody at that point to

701
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: dry and try and make it into the playoff field

702
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: as a wild card. So I really do believe that

703
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 1: these next two games, and starting at a very difficult

704
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: spot to win in Baltimore historically for many teams, but

705
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 1: certainly any team inside the a f C and worth

706
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 1: going in there and having to handle that crowd and

707
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 1: that team is always a very very tough thing to overcome.

708
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 1: So I do believe a playoff push has to start

709
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: on Sunday and Jim John Johnson, the third Brown safety,

710
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 1: made some comments on why he felt things are going

711
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,280
Speaker 1: the way they were going in regards of guys essentially

712
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: not taking their work home with him or leaving too

713
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: soon to get home. You were your thoughts, as I paraphrase,

714
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: what were your thoughts on what John Johnson had to say. Well,

715
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: he's a pretty open book, I mean really on all topics.

716
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,359
Speaker 1: He doesn't duck anything. When the O b J thing

717
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 1: was going down last year, uh, you know, he was

718
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,439
Speaker 1: very vocal about it. You know, I love the guy.

719
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: I would welcome him back in the door tomorrow morning

720
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 1: if he walked in and be happy. He's my teammate again.

721
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: So he's you know, it's not surprising that John Johnson

722
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: would would be, you know, able to speak out on

723
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,760
Speaker 1: something and certainly something that I think is probably bothering

724
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:29,839
Speaker 1: him with the way things are going and specifically with

725
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: the defense and even more specifically with the back end

726
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,839
Speaker 1: of that defense, which he is a very important part of.

727
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 1: If that's the case, and that that would be a

728
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 1: real shame, It really would, because I think that that

729
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: would indicate to me that it was like putting the

730
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: cart before the horse. We were talking about this defense

731
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 1: being an elite defense, a top five defense before we

732
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 1: went out and saw them really one run, one play

733
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: during the regular season, because they really didn't play at

734
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 1: all during the season. Once again, Um, but if that

735
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: is the state of things inside that locker room, Uh,

736
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: that would be telling and it would be disturbing to me,

737
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 1: but it would also be an indicator as to why

738
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 1: they're having such a difficulty. Uh, you know, playing better.

739
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: And Jim, I'm not calling the game last week and

740
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 1: having a chance to watch it without having to do

741
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: what you do so well, did he give you a perspective,

742
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 1: a different one rather on what's going on and was

743
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 1: taking place from your own interpretation of what you saw

744
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: and heard. Well, there are some unfortunate givens to ride on.

745
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: And the given is the defense continues to get cashed.

746
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: I mean, they can put together, you know, a couple

747
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 1: of good plays, but you're bracing yourself for a big

748
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: mistake and unfortunately, um, you know it comes and and

749
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: it is a big mistake. It's the big thirty one.

750
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: You are touchdown run. It's a wide open pass play

751
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 1: that ends up on a third down and long becoming

752
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: at least a first down and a big play. It's

753
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: a missed you on special teams. But the thing that

754
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 1: made the thing most discouraging and kind of frightening for

755
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: me was for the first time the offense really looked um,

756
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 1: you know, look bad. It was not functioning well. In

757
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: those other games, you could always say, well, I mean

758
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 1: we can score points. You know, we can score with

759
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: the Chargers and maybe we we went at the end.

760
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 1: We can certainly, you know, go up and down the

761
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: field with Atlanta or with with the Jets, or you know,

762
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,359
Speaker 1: any of these other teams. That was not the case

763
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: on Sunday. So the complete picture was really muddied by

764
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 1: the fact that in every category of the game, all

765
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: three Phayses, offense, defense, special teams, they did not play well.

766
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: So that to me was really I can't think of

767
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 1: a better word than discouraging to see how the game

768
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: played up. Jim, We thank you very much. We'll talk

00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: I know you're excited. I'm excited. Nathan is excited. Jim's excited.

794
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: Brown's trying to bring home a win and get to

795
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 1: three and four on the season and start the climb

796
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 1: back in the a f C. North Gerard. If they're

797
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: gonna do it, how do they do it? Friend? Though,

798
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 1: will one stop beating yourself? First and foremost, you can't

799
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 1: have the same mistakes in which you have gas on

800
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 1: the defensive side of ball on what you're letting guys

801
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: run free from the chunk plays and scores. And then secondly,

802
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: Jacoby can't force the football. He has to be much

803
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 1: more succinct in his decision making and not do things

804
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 1: in which he's gonna put the football in harm's away.

805
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: Because if he's throwing I and T s and the

806
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: defense is not playing up to snuff as they say,

807
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 1: and special teams getting turnovers three turnovers, you're gonna lose it.

808
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: Buy a National Football League. I'm sorry, that's just the

809
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:05,240
Speaker 1: way it's gonna work. So protecting the football first and foremost,

810
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: and another part continue doing what you were dinner doing

811
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 1: earlier in the offensive on the offensive side of ball,

812
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 1: being being productive, making plays moving up down the football field,

813
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 1: controling the clock, and defensively, just change completely what you've

814
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: been doing. You have to go out there. You got

815
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: to stop Andrews because if you don't stop him, he

816
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:25,800
Speaker 1: Lamarvin eat you alive. And you got to play the

817
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 1: rue pass option like you've never played it before. And

818
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: that's something that we've struggled with. So that's what we

819
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 1: have to do. The question is what we do it.

820
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: I tell you what it's um to get in comfortable again,

821
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: Like that's one of the things I do worry about

822
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: Gerarde in this game on Sunday. Now, the Baltimore defense

823
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 1: has been a bit scatter shot certainly, but it's like

824
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: once you put something on tape, like the Atlanta game,

825
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:52,839
Speaker 1: all right, cayleb Huntly went crazy, Well, now that's on tape. Okay,

826
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 1: well now you have Jacoby Brice said uncomfortable. Now that's

827
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 1: on tape. So now you're gonna have to work against

828
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:03,240
Speaker 1: at in this game against Baltimore. Because good coaching staffs

829
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 1: will be able to attackt something like that. Am I wrong? Yeah?

830
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 1: Absolutely right. But the thing with Jacobe is game down

831
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:10,919
Speaker 1: decision making. Some of those throws he didn't have to throw,

832
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 1: he forced it and that led to the bad place.

833
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 1: So don't force the football. It's really that simple, and

834
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,359
Speaker 1: take what the defense gives you as opposed to trying

835
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 1: to force it. Alright, Coming up on Thursday Night on
