00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 3: Near fridging temperatures.

30
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 2: Hey, did you guys see that our buddy from Alaska,

31
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 2: Gibbe's Burner, Alaska, gave us some some some waterproof ideas.

32
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 3: I did not see that.

33
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, he he did. He gave us some. This was yesterday.

34
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm gonna have to go through my mentions

35
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 2: that are loaded with Michigan stuff, but there was.

36
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 3: He was responded.

37
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 2: Yesterday, We've accused me of being Ghibbe's Alaskan burner. Okay,

38
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: just catching the show from earlier lifelong Alaskan work outside

39
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,839
Speaker 2: hunt Fish, et cetera. There's actually some breathable rain gear

40
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: that I've had that keeps you dry all day. Grundin's

41
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: a line of breathable gear has worked great for me.

42
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 3: Grundan's is a hackened name. Yeah, I'd never heard of it.

43
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 3: I'd say, I'm going their website right now. No, it's

44
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 3: new to me.

45
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 2: I hadn't heard of it. But I'm open to anything.

46
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 5: Man.

47
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 2: I think people in Alaska and Maine are going to

48
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 2: have the best, best way of handling any sort of

49
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: waterproof cold situation. Those are the two states that I

50
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: think would have the market cornered.

51
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's serious. It's fishing, serious fishing equipment.

52
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 4: It looks like like, yeah, I guess is this the

53
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 4: gear they wear on like Deadliest Catch?

54
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 3: It looks like it.

55
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 4: I'm in for that at this point.

56
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 3: That looks like it they've got. They do have some

57
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 3: hoodies that have they have fish, and they have some

58
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 3: that have crabs on them. So you yeah, have you

59
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 3: guys looked at it? And we're taking fishermen, we're talking like serious, yeah,

60
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 3: like open sea fishing.

61
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think those guys would know, right, if they're

62
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 2: staying dry, then anybody, if you can stay dry in

63
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: those conditions, you can stay and dry in any conditions.

64
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 3: Right, Yes, I think that's right.

65
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 2: That's where I'm at. Have you guys looked at an

66
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: updated weather for Sunday?

67
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 3: I have. It's not great, That's what I've seen. It's

68
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 3: still really cold. Yes, yes, let me ask you if

69
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 3: they're preparing. We're we're preparing. The team is preparing.

70
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 2: Let me ask you, guys, this team is preparing. Yes,

71
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: how is your drive home yesterday? Yeah, that's right.

72
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 3: It took a while. It was in a pretty good

73
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 3: white out. Took me what would normally be call it

74
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 3: twenty seven minutes, was around fifty I would say.

75
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was an hour twenty ground oh normally twenty eight.

76
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: So yeah, that there was that a turnpike. Yeah, wow, yeah,

77
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: here's how about you, gibbet. I mean it was it

78
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 2: was treacherous getting back. I mean there were two spinouts. Yeah,

79
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 2: I mean I don't have a far drive. No, no, no,

80
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 2: I know that it doesn't bother me, but it was rough.

81
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, turning the corner, it was like, wow, the four

82
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 4: wheel drive is not working as well as it should

83
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 4: right now.

84
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 3: People just forget how to drive too. I mean, it's

85
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 3: just like it's craziness. Well, so what happened?

86
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: We were I was matriculating eastbound and down and there

87
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 2: was a semi truck past me, going somewhere in the

88
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 2: neighborhood one hundred and seventy eight miles an hour, and

89
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 2: I saw, I mean, it just flew. And you like,

90
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 2: our cars are actually like snowmobiles. They're really good in

91
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: the snow.

92
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, the way so much so that they really don't

93
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 3: do snow tire or do you play have all season.

94
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 3: I have all season, so I have snows on and

95
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 3: mind is it's great, tremendous grip.

96
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've never had a problem with it all these

97
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 2: years on the snow because it weighs so much, the

98
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 2: battery waste so much. But so I was going, I mean,

99
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 2: it was dicey, and I would say I was going.

100
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 2: I was probably traveling somewhere in the fifties on the

101
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: dumpike instead of the normal seventy five and truck flight

102
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 2: flying past me hundred and seventy five hundred and seventy

103
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: eight miles an hour something like that, And it was

104
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 2: the craziest thing. But as you could probably imagine by

105
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 2: the tone of the story, not five miles later, the

106
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 2: entire turnpike is shut down, and said semi truck is

107
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: jackknifed in the middle of two lanes with a couple

108
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 2: of vehicles that were caught up in the in the

109
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 2: in the wake as it were. And so, I mean

110
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 2: we came up on it like authorities were just getting

111
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 2: there as I came up on it. And I'm actually

112
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 2: lucky that I got through. I hope no one was

113
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 2: hurt in it. I didn't see any of the news

114
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 2: last night on it. But I was able to get

115
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 2: through it, and it went from three lanes to one

116
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 2: really quickly. And so the other thing you realize is

117
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 2: on the turnpike you can't get off.

118
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 3: It's negative.

119
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 2: You know you're there, there's no.

120
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 4: Getting I hope you better hope you have a full

121
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 4: charge or a full take gas. You could be sitting

122
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 4: there for a while.

123
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 3: I was thinking about that.

124
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, like lucky. I mean, I had full

125
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 2: I was fine, but I was thinking this would not

126
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: be great if I had a long distance to go.

127
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: And I guess I just don't. The moral of the story,

128
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 2: I suppose is I don't know what the hell the

129
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: hurry is in those circumstances.

130
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, And you have a combination of people who

131
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 3: want to go too fast and then you have another

132
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 3: group that's going way too slow, and it ends up

133
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 3: in a very that's a bad mix, it is. It

134
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 3: doesn't work.

135
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, just go slowest, medium, fastest. If you got three lanes, like,

136
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 2: just go slowest all the way right and just stay

137
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 2: in that lane. It's the lane switching is when it

138
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: gets it's loose.

139
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, because then you hit the bumps of

140
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 3: the snow. Yeah, and it's still snelling right now out here.

141
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 3: It's a globe as I look outside.

142
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're in this for a minute, aren't we.

143
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 4: We weren't supposed to be. Like I woke up this

144
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 4: morning and it was like snow flurries in the morning,

145
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,679
Speaker 4: maybe a little lake effect, but nothing bad. I text

146
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 4: Zigura because we were taping doing some tapings today. Yeah,

147
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 4: and I was like, you should leave now. I'm like it,

148
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 4: I can't see the practice field. It is a complete

149
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 4: white out out the back door.

150
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it was. It was like that this morning

151
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 2: here where we're uzy. How were you this morning? Were

152
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 2: you snowy too?

153
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 3: Oh? No, definitely.

154
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 4: Yeah.

155
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 3: It took it took a while to get in. It

156
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 3: took an extra like fifteen minutes again.

157
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, boys went made no snow day. Sorry boys. They

158
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 2: were praying for it.

159
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, bab it didn't start till like eight am this morning.

160
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 3: It took too late. Yeah, came into late. See, we

161
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 3: got a chance tomorrow if this goes through the night,

162
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 3: if what's happening now continues, they'd have a good chance tomorrow.

163
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 4: Yeah.

164
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 2: I haven't even looked at it last night at basketball

165
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 2: practice though it was a complete white out. People were

166
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 2: sliding in the parking lot left and right, and so

167
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 2: they were all optimistic. And then when we left practice

168
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 2: around nine point thirty, I was with Beamsy and I

169
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 2: on our way home and we got out to like

170
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: the main roads and he's like, oh no, he could say,

171
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 2: like the main roads are all clear, Like you're gonna yeah,

172
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 2: you got school, buddy, buckle up.

173
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 4: Well, they're gonna try to, I would I would think

174
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 4: they would try. Like when's their last day for Christmas break,

175
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 4: like next Friday?

176
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 3: I think Thursday?

177
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 4: Maybe, Okay, they're not doing anything next week anyways.

178
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know that they do anything.

179
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 2: They probably are now. They're probably doing some testing now,

180
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 2: but then next week it'll all be movie week.

181
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, so specially Yeah, they're not they're not going

182
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 4: to cancel at this point. They're gonna save those for

183
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 4: January and February hopefully. Yeah.

184
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 2: I think that's probably fair. Zee, you get to take

185
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 2: a little z sledding.

186
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's I don't know if he's

187
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 3: quite ready for that. I don't know if he's quite

188
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 3: ready for that. Right now, we're just sitting up. We're

189
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 3: working on sitting.

190
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 5: Up right now.

191
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 3: Just stick him in that inside and a bjorn. Yeah,

192
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 3: take him right down and now he's got listen, he's

193
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 3: his jumper is really all the excitement he needs and

194
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 3: he's loving it. And the time he has a zess

195
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 3: for jumping. That is incredible. I'm told I had one

196
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 3: when I was a kid, so I get it. But

197
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 3: I mean, this is an absolute zest. It's beautiful.

198
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 2: That strikes me that you were that you were a jumper.

199
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 2: That strikes that. That checks out, Yeah, that checks the boxes. Athlete.

200
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 3: It is.

201
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 2: It is Bears week. We play the Bears, of course

202
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 2: on Sunday. Today is a matchup day. We'll get you

203
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 2: the matchups as the program goes along. Couple of updates

204
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 2: from practice. Grand Delput returned to practice. Zach Ziner added

205
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 2: to the list of those not practicing, which included Joel Buttonio,

206
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 2: Jack Conklin, why Att Teller, Denzel or Dylan Samson, Centric Tillman,

207
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 2: Mason Graham, Aiden Huntington.

208
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 3: My goodness.

209
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 2: Joel today was asked if he was available to practice

210
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 2: on Friday. We'll see how I wait cup tomorrow. Good

211
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 2: for him at this point, he knows his body, he's

212
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 2: well aware of how that all goes. What do you

213
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 2: make It's a laundry list here, Bud.

214
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 3: It is a laundry list. I don't know what I

215
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 3: make of it. To be honest with you, it is.

216
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 3: It's tough because you're down so many people in so

217
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 3: many spots, going against a team that you know is

218
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 3: fighting for its playoff lives. Now the Bears have not

219
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 3: been a great defense this year, but they have been

220
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 3: a very productive offense. But still you wonder, kind of

221
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 3: what does this mean for this game? You know, will

222
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 3: you be able to have Betonia? Will you be able

223
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 3: to have David Njoku? You know, those are the those

224
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 3: are kind of the big ones. It looks like, you know,

225
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 3: Conkline's on the concussion protocol. You know, you don't have

226
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 3: wayatt teller. You know, Ethan Posix now out for the year.

227
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 3: And we got Luke Whippler in there, who we'll hear

228
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 3: from I'm sure shortly today? Is that today? Yeah? Yeah,

229
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 3: we'll hear from Luke Whippler in the second hour. So yeah,

230
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 3: there's there are a lot of questions, quite frankly, about

231
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 3: what this is going to against this team, and there

232
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 3: are a lot of injuries there are injuries on defense

233
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 3: as well. Yeah, so it's a it's a tough one, Yeah,

234
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 3: it is.

235
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 2: And I do think that the one thing that is

236
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 2: you simply cannot debate is that there's some juice with

237
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 2: Shador and then of course that that there's some juice.

238
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 2: I mean players feed off him. He feeds off of players,

239
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 2: And so for our purposes, this is a little different

240
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,719
Speaker 2: than previous years where it felt like the season was

241
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 2: you're kind of playing out the string this time of year,

242
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 2: and that you have a real runway here for shudor

243
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 2: Sanders to make a point and prove a point about

244
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 2: what he's capable of and prove to the organization of

245
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 2: what he could look like as a long time answer

246
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 2: at quarterback. So I think from an energy standpoint, all

247
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 2: that's going to be there in Sunday in a very

248
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 2: very big way. If you go around the rest of

249
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 2: the league, I don't think that's the case.

250
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 3: There is.

251
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 2: This is going to be a very strange weekend of

252
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 2: National Football League football. Save for those games where it's

253
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 2: talent equates as we call him in college football, or

254
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 2: in this instance, I suppose stakes equates. There's a handful

255
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 2: of those games but there's a ton of lopsided games

256
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 2: where it's hard to know what the given damn going

257
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 2: to be for any of these teams.

258
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 3: It is, and that's one of the challenges and just

259
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 3: to kind of take it, you know, another step further

260
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 3: from the Brown standpoint. You mentioned Botonio will see how

261
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 3: he wakes up tomorrow, right, you said, and we noted that,

262
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 3: you know, we know why it's out. Yeah, we know

263
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 3: Posik is now out. We know that if Potonio is

264
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 3: unable to go, Zack Zinter didn't practice today. I mean,

265
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 3: I don't know if I'm looking at this right, but

266
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 3: I kind of think I am like the guy we

267
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 3: just signed, Jeremiah Buyers, would be the old would that's

268
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 3: it might have to start, right. He might have to

269
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 3: play left guard. He's ever played a snap in the

270
00:12:55,360 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 3: NFL and he just got here. But that would be

271
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 3: the deal if you have no concl Yeah, unless you

272
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 3: wanted to put Cornelius Lucas a tackle and slide one

273
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 3: year tackles into guard. But I don't think they were

274
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 3: interested in doing that, So you might. Jeremiah Buyers no

275
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 3: relation to Will that I know of. You might have

276
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 3: to come in and.

277
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 2: Play This is reminiscent of twenty twenty at New York.

278
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 3: YEP. That was COVID, Like the COVID when we had

279
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 3: no receivers, no receivers and Baker was taking snaps from

280
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 3: a guy he just met.

281
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 2: Was it Blake Cants.

282
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 3: No, Blake Cants came in in the playoff game in Pittsburgh.

283
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 3: That's Michael Dunn started the game and he got hurt,

284
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 3: and then he had to introduce himself like in the

285
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 3: huddle at the end of that game. Hey, nice to

286
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 3: meet you.

287
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 2: I mean, that's yeah, it's it's crazy, and I'm certain

288
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 2: that the circumstances that we're dealing with are being repeated

289
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 2: throughout the National Football League this yeekend, and it's only

290
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 2: going to get worse as we go along. The injuries

291
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 2: are going to stab and I might do I really

292
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 2: want to press, especially if you're playing meaningless games that

293
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 2: a lot of these teams are. I mean, there's a

294
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 2: lot of meaningless football. It's gonna be played this weekend,

295
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 2: and it's reflected in the in the in the lines,

296
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 2: which are I think we have five lines of ten

297
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 2: or more this weekend. Yeah, big ones. So this is

298
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 2: it's going to be a very very strange weekend. Speaking

299
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 2: of strange, so yesterday it's a surreal moment, Like we

300
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 2: have Siciliana on. We're paling around, having a fun with

301
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 2: Southern California, going to talk some Browns. The next thing

302
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 2: you know, Gibby hops on the mic and says, Michigan's

303
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 2: fired their coach. Yep, yeah, I did this most of

304
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 2: the morning and talk to some folks up there. It's

305
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 2: in ruins.

306
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 3: I mean it is.

307
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 2: It's a it's a it's a crazy bunch of circumstances

308
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 2: that have happened up there. It is the timeline of

309
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 2: it and a Michigan investigation that started internally last summer

310
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 2: and came up with nothing, but according to Angelie Chingalis

311
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 2: of the Detroit News, there was enough smoke that they

312
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 2: started an external investigation on it, on the relationship with

313
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 2: Moore and the staffer. And then according to Johnny Bacon,

314
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 2: who I would trust with anything on the side of Michigan.

315
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 2: By the way, I have a book signing. He wrote

316
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 2: a book about the Edmund Fitzgerald. He love a book

317
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 2: signing here in town on Monday.

318
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 3: Great guy.

319
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 2: He went through kind of the timeline of that and

320
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 2: Apparently the person that Moore was having the relationship with

321
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 2: came to Michigan and they're people of power ward manual,

322
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 2: specifically the athletic director yesterday morning and said here's all

323
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 2: of it and gave it up, and so that led

324
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 2: to his firing yesterday afternoon. Now, what we didn't know

325
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 2: yesterday when we were on the air because we were

326
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 2: off by five, was everything that would transpire afterwards. Where

327
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 2: he's breaking and entering on the alleged the alleged staffer

328
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 2: who he had the relationship with, and allegedly holding eyes

329
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 2: to throats and I mean.

330
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 3: Just threatening himself, threatening others.

331
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 2: He himself, all of it, spends a night in jail.

332
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 2: He's still in jail in Michigan, like the head football

333
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 2: coach at Michigan is still in jail and under basically

334
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 2: twenty four hour surveillance because of the threats to do

335
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 2: harm to himself. So one of the craziest circumstances that

336
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 2: I can remember in a sport that provides a lot

337
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 2: of it, but a dizzying amount of of of a

338
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 2: day in Ann Arbory yesterday.

339
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 3: It's almost I mean, I think of the Patrino one

340
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 3: where he got in the like wreck with the mistress

341
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 3: on the was on a motorcycle.

342
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 2: That's right, Yeah, she was on the motorcycle and he

343
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 2: went to that press conference all battered with the neck brace.

344
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. It's a wild set of circumstances. I think

345
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 3: that the one thing that that certainly I had wrong

346
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 3: about it was that I thought that maybe the timing

347
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 3: of it was they were waiting till after sign day

348
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 3: and they had somebody lined up, And it feels like no,

349
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 3: which is weird because if you go back now, there

350
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 3: are people who are posting things that had this in September,

351
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 3: that had this even earlier than that. Certainly all earlier

352
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 3: in this month, there was a lot of talk about it.

353
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 3: You had mentioned you had heard rumblings about it that

354
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 3: for it to kind of come out the way that

355
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 3: it's come out and for it to be what it

356
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,959
Speaker 3: is now is kind of wild. And it almost feels

357
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 3: like Michigan's been caught unprepared for a scenario that it

358
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 3: feels like would be impossible to be unprepared for. I

359
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 3: think given what we know.

360
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think that the Board of Regents

361
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 2: at the University of Michigan, the questions that they're asking

362
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 2: right now to the athletic director, Ward Manual. And by

363
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 2: the way, they don't have a university president there now either,

364
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 2: so they don't have a president right now. They're a

365
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 2: football coach. They have an athletic director, but he's on

366
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 2: the thinnest device because he's over he's been over all

367
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 2: of this. I mean, they've had scann left or scandal

368
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 2: in basketball and hockey and football and all. And the

369
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,719
Speaker 2: question that's being asked is when did you know what

370
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 2: you knew? Yeah, because this common kind of feeling of oh,

371
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,719
Speaker 2: everybody knew that this was going on, and that there

372
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 2: were whispers about it. And then if you show, Schefter

373
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 2: was pretty awkward today on Get Up. I don't know

374
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 2: if you guys caught this.

375
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, what was that about?

376
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 2: Well, he's a Michigan man and he was really awkward

377
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 2: with it and relaying this idea that Sharilmore thought people

378
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 2: were out to get him and all of that most

379
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 2: I assumed when he was hired, and I talked to

380
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 2: Angeli ching Galis about this this morning. Again, she's the

381
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 2: beat writer for Michigan at the Detroit News. And the

382
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 2: thing that most of us thought around when Charlmore was

383
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 2: hired was remember they did not do a coaching search.

384
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 4: Yep.

385
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 2: So what I thought of it of as there's remnants

386
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 2: of the Connor Stallions stuff that's still out there. There

387
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 2: are penalties that are going to be levied. He can

388
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 2: be the one who takes the pound of flesh for that, yep.

389
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 2: And I think most people in college football saw that. Now,

390
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 2: if it worked, then you stick with him, and it's great.

391
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 2: And I do think the other part with him being

392
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 2: retained was the players really liked him and he was

393
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 2: the interim coach for Harbaugh and won a ton of

394
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 2: games that year they won the national title as the coach,

395
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 2: and didn't seem out of depth at all in that Nope.

396
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 2: But one thing that Angelique relayed to me was that

397
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 2: he runs incredibly emotionally always, and she was on record

398
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 2: years ago and I do remember this of saying like

399
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 2: he's just not ready for this type of a responsibility.

400
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 3: Just wasn't.

401
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 2: So my hunch is that they will go with a

402
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 2: clean break now. I am sure that they have probably

403
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 2: knowing this was headed this way. I am sure that

404
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 2: they reached out to Kaylin de Borr at Alabama and

405
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 2: there's a lot of smoke around that with him, So

406
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 2: that's the way it could go. The human element of

407
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 2: it breaks my heart for the wife and the three

408
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 2: little girls, I mean, because their life now is in

409
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 2: tatters and that's really brutal.

410
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 3: But a surreal publicly so yeaheah, quite surreal, I would say,

411
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 3: quite so. Yeah, just a real stunner. And yeah, it

412
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 3: doesn't see it. It's not one of those situations that's

413
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 3: getting less interesting as it goes It feels like it's

414
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 3: only getting more interesting as it goes on.

415
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 2: Sounds like an arrangement probably tomorrow for him, So who knows,

416
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 2: we'll see, but crazy crazy day in the in the

417
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 2: football world with that kind of on top of it.

418
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 2: And then I don't know if we have this, it

419
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 2: probably don't. But you saw the some of the Burrows

420
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 2: stuff today too, So.

421
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 3: I saw that Latin from yesterday.

422
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 2: Well it was yeah, and it's getting a lot of

423
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 2: attention this morning with we talked about it.

424
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 3: We ran out of time.

425
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 2: But like the comments that he made about you know,

426
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 2: I'm not having fun and that type of stuff.

427
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 3: I think he's I think he wants out of there.

428
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 3: I think he still wants to play football. I think

429
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 3: he wants out of there. You think he's doing Carson Palmer.

430
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 3: I think he wants out of there. I think he's like,

431
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 3: this is not an organization that is ever going to

432
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,199
Speaker 3: do the things that are necessary to make this a

433
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 3: championship team. I'm getting beaten up. I'm almost thirty, which

434
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 3: is still God bless you very young. Yeah. I think

435
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 3: that he's just I think he's hey, Yeah. I think

436
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 3: he's saying, I can't do this here anymore. This is

437
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 3: not going to be fun and it's never going to

438
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 3: be This is never an organization that is going to

439
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 3: do what needs to be done from a resource standpoint

440
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 3: to help me achieve my goals. And I'm not going

441
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 3: to sit here and go year after a year keep

442
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 3: doing this if I'm not in that kind of a situation.

443
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 4: Burrow is signed through twenty twenty nine. Would you like

444
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 4: to hear his comments?

445
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 3: Hold on one second so he oh, sorry, go ahead,

446
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 3: go ahead, zee. I mean they could probably make a

447
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 3: post June first trade of him, and I think they

448
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 3: could be I think they could. I think they could

449
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:15,959
Speaker 3: be fine. I mean they'd be able to move on

450
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 3: because when he really signed that extension was signed in

451
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three, twenty six, and twenty seven both guaranteed

452
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 3: for injury, so he's twenty six. It's fully guaranteed on

453
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 3: the fifth day of the twenty twenty five league year,

454
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 3: so that's already happened. Twenty twenty seventh becomes fully guaranteed

455
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 3: on the fifth day of the twenty seven league I

456
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 3: think they mean twenty six league year. So I think

457
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 3: I think they would actually be able to they'd be

458
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 3: able to move on from him if they wanted to.

459
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 3: I mean, this is the Carson Palmer thing, right, I mean,

460
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 3: if he wanted to force him, I don't think he

461
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 3: would like cripple the franchise. I do think that they'd

462
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 3: be able to do it. Yeah, I mean Carson did,

463
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 3: but that's what I read. But yeah, let's let's hear

464
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 3: it and we'll doing this.

465
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 5: I have to have fun doing it.

466
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,239
Speaker 6: Uh, you know, I've been through a lot, and if

467
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 6: it's not fun, then what am I.

468
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 3: Doing it for?

469
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 5: So the mindset I'm trying to bring to the table.

470
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 7: Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but seemed frustrated.

471
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 5: There's just a lot of things going on right now.

472
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 5: A lot of things going on right now. All related personally,

473
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 5: all the both. Like you said, there's nothing.

474
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 8: All we can do is is focus week tw we

475
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 8: can try to try to win games.

476
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 2: This is a guy who routinely has incredibly short answers

477
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 2: with very little in the in the way of bulletin

478
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 2: board or even look at me like, it's just not

479
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 2: the way he's wired.

480
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 3: All of that was with intent. Uh you're saying it

481
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 3: was with It was not without intent. Yeah, that was

482
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 3: all done with intent, all done with intent. He knew,

483
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 3: yes a hundred percent. Yes, uh huh yeah, yeah, there's

484
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 3: no doubt. And I think I really think what I

485
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 3: think it's. I think he's trying to he's saying I'm

486
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 3: not I'm done here. That's what that's what I took from.

487
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 3: I could be completely wrong, but I think he's saying,

488
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 3: I'm done here. If I'm going to do this, I

489
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 3: want to chase championships. That's never going to happen here.

490
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 3: They're never gonna look at this defense that they're hassling

491
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 3: with Trey Hendrickson coming off the year that he leads

492
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 3: the NFL and sacks I'm not doing it. I'm done.

493
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 3: I've been beating up this year at a lot of

494
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 3: time to reflect. I'm done. This is not the place

495
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 3: I want to play football anymore. That's that's what I

496
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 3: took away from it.

497
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 2: I think it was certainly the first steps towards that. Yeah,

498
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 2: I think it's a fair readair.

499
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 3: Have you talked to Have you talked to anybody down there?

500
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 3: Or did the college football dominate so much?

501
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 2: There was Buddy, Today was all Sharon Moore and the

502
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 2: college football. So I was going to and then we

00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 9: how I mean, three days out, how does it really

528
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 9: affect your preparation?

529
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 10: I mean we'll be outside, which obviously the weather's beautiful

530
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 10: in Cleveland this time of year too, so helps prepare

531
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 10: us there. Look, at this time of the year, you

532
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 10: have to account for some of that. You know, we'll

533
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 10: see what ends up being like come come game day.

534
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 10: And you know, the wind can swirl there as we know,

535
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 10: and it's right off the lake, so we'll see how

536
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 10: that affects it. We'll see how you know, the real

537
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 10: cold temperatures affect it. But like our focus is strictly

538
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 10: on our preparation and getting our game plan ready. To

539
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 10: go and then we'll adjust as need be. But there's

540
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 10: that's not really something that you, you know, put into a

541
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 10: huge part of the factor during the week, and your

542
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 10: focus is really on where you need to be and

543
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 10: making sure that our guys are in their playbooks and

544
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 10: understanding what we're asking them to do, and making sure

545
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 10: we're ready to go some of the things that should.

546
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 11: Or showed you this past game to make it a

547
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 11: way that he's taking those fixt steps forward.

548
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think the improvement.

549
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 10: You know, you're looking at all your players, all your

550
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,479
Speaker 10: young layers, to see just gradual improvement on the areas

551
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,719
Speaker 10: that you're focused on. I thought, you know, he did

552
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 10: a really nice job of moving in the pocket, stepping

553
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 10: up in the pocket. You know, he had some opportunities

554
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 10: to step up and attack the defense, whether it was

555
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 10: you know, throwing the ball in the move. We hit

556
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,719
Speaker 10: Harold on a good one there in two minutes and

557
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 10: we're climbing in the pocket and finding Jerry on the

558
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 10: incode or climbing in the pocket and running when it

559
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 10: when it needs be. I thought, you know, those are

560
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,679
Speaker 10: signs of improvement in those areas. I thought operationally we

561
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 10: were clean and you know, that's what you're after with

562
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 10: all your players, specifically the young guys, is are the

563
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 10: things that you're trying to ask him to do and

564
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 10: are the things that you're focused on, you know being accomplished?

565
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,120
Speaker 10: And credit to him and you know, credit to coach

566
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 10: Musk for continuing to get him ready to play.

567
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 9: There's one thing that you could pen point from the

568
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 9: brain to now that you like tangibly that you really

569
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 9: can improved with.

570
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 3: Should or what would that one thing be?

571
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 4: Coming out?

572
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 12: Yeah?

573
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,719
Speaker 10: I think just what I just talked about really like

574
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 10: the overall improvement of our footwork and our understanding you know,

575
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 10: what full work applies to, what concepts and our ability

576
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 10: to work through progressions. And you know, he's put a

577
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 10: lot of work in these last few weeks to get

578
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 10: ready to play these games, and you see the steps

579
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 10: as he progresses, which is again what you're after with.

580
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 12: Your young players.

581
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 10: What you're asked with all your players is are they

582
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 10: are they coachable? Are they you know, applying some of

583
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 10: the things that you're trying to ask them to do.

584
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 10: And he has shown that and you know, obviously he

585
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 10: played played a nice game for us last week and

586
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 10: really made some plays that showed those signs that you

587
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 10: know he is improving in those areas.

588
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 5: It's the same answer.

589
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 13: But the sixty the touchdown of Jerry, we talked about

590
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 13: how some he's been better seen around a second time

591
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 13: or whatever.

592
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 5: See that as an example of that.

593
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 11: And what did you like.

594
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 10: Best, tough An, Yeah, we ran that play the first

595
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,239
Speaker 10: drive or first play of our second drive. We hit

596
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 10: Harold on the on an inbreaker for like sixteen or

597
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 10: seventeen yards there to our left.

598
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 12: It was the same play.

599
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 10: We just aligned in it a little differently and they

600
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 10: played a different coverage which would get you to your

601
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 10: second or third part of your progression, which is what

602
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 10: happened on the second play. And it's always a good

603
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 10: thing when you're in the box yelling, but when you're

604
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 10: talking about getting to a route and then it happens

605
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 10: in that moment like you got you and the player

606
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 10: are on the same page as you're watching it. And

607
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 10: that's what happened on that long play to Jerry, which

608
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 10: is you know, it just shows the you know, the

609
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 10: signs of improvement, like our ability to see the coverage

610
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 10: get through a progression play on time, play within the pocket.

611
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 10: You know, the part that should be noted on all

612
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 10: those plays where you're getting through them, Like our protection

613
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 10: was excellent there and so we were an empty protection,

614
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 10: no help on the tackles, and we were able to

615
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 10: really stay in the cylinder and deliver a great throw

616
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 10: and then Jerry did the rest for us. But like

617
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 10: you said, that was a repeated call in the first

618
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 10: half there, and we were able to continue to get

619
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 10: through our progression versus a different look the.

620
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 14: Second two point play. Understanding that you guys practice those

621
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 14: types of situations a weekly, not to a game. You

622
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 14: have certain plays in mind, and you probably go into

623
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,479
Speaker 14: that drive kind of with that pig in the back

624
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 14: of your mind, like if we score.

625
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 7: Here, we're going to do this play.

626
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 14: Are there ever conversations when you get to that point

627
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 14: about doing doing something different, running a different play.

628
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 12: There's been a lot Yeah, yeah, no, I hear it.

629
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 10: If that play works, it's totally a different conversation, right,

630
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 10: And so unfortunately we got to do a better job

631
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 10: as coaches to make sure that we can execute in

632
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 10: those moments.

633
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 5: We have.

634
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 10: You know, you have a menu of two point plays

635
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 10: when you go into a game. You know, we rep

636
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 10: those every Friday. It's the very last thing we do

637
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 10: against our defense. So it's full speed, full reps. The

638
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 10: two two point plays that we ran in the game,

639
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 10: or the two that we repped on Friday, you know,

640
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 10: we had success like as we wrap them. So you know,

641
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 10: like we had confidence in that call. It's one that's

642
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 10: been up for probably a month and we just didn't

643
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 10: execute it in the moment when we needed to, and

644
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 10: as coaches you try to, you know, figure out why

645
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 10: so they can get it corrected moving forward. There's a

646
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 10: lot of conversations that take place, you know, in those

647
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 10: critical moments. We knew early that if we score on

648
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 10: this first two minute, we're going for two. Being down,

649
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 10: you know, in that situation, we were going to go

650
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 10: for two. We knew what the first call was. There

651
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 10: was a conversation that takes place leading up to the

652
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 10: next drive. Hey, this is going to be the call.

653
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 10: Let's make sure our guys are prepared for it, and

654
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 10: then away we go. You know, like that's more about

655
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 10: the play than any individual. I think, like we were

656
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 10: we had confidence in that play. We had confidence in

657
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 10: our guys to execute it, and you know, we got

658
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 10: to make sure that we do our job as coaches.

659
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 12: So that they can.

660
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think like it's a really good question. I think,

661
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 10: as you know the two point play conversation, with it

662
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 10: being used more frequently, that menus increased probably a lot

663
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 10: over the last ten to twelve years. You know, you

664
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 10: have certainly have low red zone plays that you also

665
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 10: kind of tab as. These are also backups for two

666
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 10: pointers if if you need to have one. I don't

667
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 10: want to go to the specifics on how many we carry,

668
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 10: but there are there is a menu there that get

669
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 10: carried over week to week that you know can be

670
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 10: used in those situations. And then there's going to be

671
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 10: game plan calls that are used for inside the five

672
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 10: that can also be used in those situations.

673
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 4: Ask you one other thing on that short yardage package

674
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 4: different two point package.

675
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 10: It's a really good question, and you don't see I

676
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 10: bet if you studied over the last however many years

677
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 10: in the NFL, like the success of running the ball

678
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 10: and two point plays, it's probably pretty high, you know,

679
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 10: especially like maybe in those non last play of the games,

680
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 10: like the two point plays you're trying to get in

681
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 10: short yarde and two minute are Like when you say

682
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 10: short yards mean like goal line, Yeah, anywhere in the field.

683
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 10: You get different defenses a little bit in the two

684
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 10: point play than you would in a short yardage in

685
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 10: the field. So I would say there's some similarities, but

686
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 10: probably not the exact same menu. There might be one

687
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 10: that you say, hey, this works in this zone because

688
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 10: of the defense you're getting, but doesn't always carry over

689
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 10: the same or.

690
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 11: Work that you interviewed for the Penn stage job. Just

691
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 11: what is your feeling on you know, you kind of

692
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 11: wanting to be here or whatever the case may be,

693
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 11: or these opportunities that are probably going to come your way.

694
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm really focused on trying to play good offensive football,

695
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 10: get a young quarterback ready to play, you know, support

696
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 10: our players and like some of those things are flattering

697
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 10: and you listen as a competitor, but you know, for me,

698
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 10: like my focus is really how can we go score

699
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 10: enough points.

700
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 12: To win a game.

701
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 10: How can we put our young players, put our quarterback,

702
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 10: put our offense in the right position to have success,

703
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 10: how to lead our staff. Like that's really where my

704
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 10: focus is right now, said, I'm going to just keep

705
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 10: my focus here right now.

706
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, how much you guys.

707
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 13: Can put Ethan's plate, especially with the working quarterback.

708
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 4: So yeah, without you.

709
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 5: How do you kind of do the responsibility.

710
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 12: Yeah, we have a lot of confidence and whip and

711
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 12: where he's at mentally. You know, he's a guy that

712
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 12: works really hard at it.

713
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 10: You know, he can be annoying, if you know, whip,

714
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 10: he talks too much, but he's into it and he

715
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 10: loves it.

716
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 12: And he's.

717
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 10: Like even in his backup role, like very similar to

718
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 10: how a backup quarterback needs to prepare. It's the same

719
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 10: as for a backup center. He's always taking snaps when

720
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 10: the ones are going making the calls. He's always into

721
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 10: the protection meetings, He's always into our protection walkthroughs. He's

722
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 10: on it, you know what I mean. Like he's a

723
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 10: good fit for what we're asking him to do. I

724
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 10: think as you see the quarterback continuing to grow and

725
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 10: be comfortable and confident, and while we're doing you know,

726
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 10: you can start to put a little bit more there

727
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 10: as well, and so you start working together up front.

728
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 10: You know, we want our guys to see it through

729
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 10: one set of eyes. So shoot, we should have all

730
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 10: eleven knowing what we're trying to get to in certain calls.

731
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 10: But we have a lot of trust and whip to

732
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 10: get those things.

733
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 11: Done, Shador starting the final four games in the season

734
00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:00,720
Speaker 11: for a total of seven. What can you know about

735
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 11: a quarterback in a seven game sample size? Can you

736
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 11: know everything that you need to know for?

737
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 12: Well, yeah, we're gonna take it one day at a time.

738
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 10: I don't think I think you learn about quarterbacks in

739
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,439
Speaker 10: year five and year ten, and you're like, I don't

740
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 10: think you ever stop learning and evolving with those players.

741
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 10: You know, certainly we're going to pour everything we have

742
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 10: into our group right now and we're going to continue

743
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 10: to find ways to improve and find ways to you know,

744
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 10: put emphasis on certain things and continue to get him,

745
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 10: you know, ready to play. You've already seen some growth.

746
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 10: You know, we're excited to continue to take that one

747
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 10: day at a time and continue to see growth take place,

748
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 10: and look at the year, we'll evaluate it and you know,

749
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 10: we'll continue to move forward in our and our focus

750
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 10: on improvement of our players.

751
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 12: Thanks guys, all.

752
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 2: Right, time time to go behind enemy lines on the

753
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 2: other side of this matchup, and for that we turn

754
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 2: to bear safety Kevin Bayard.

755
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,399
Speaker 4: So what should do are good at?

756
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 9: You know, obviously he started a pass few games. I

757
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 9: think last week he did a really good job. I

758
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 9: think he threw for over three hundred and fifty yards

759
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 9: through some touchdowns out there, just.

760
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 5: Like any rookie quarterback.

761
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,320
Speaker 9: He's obviously still working through some things, but he obviously

762
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:10,879
Speaker 9: can throw the ball. I think he's really good throwing

763
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 9: the ball on time. Obviously he has some good skilled

764
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 9: players he can throw the ball to. Rent of his judy,

765
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 9: their rookie. I think he's a pretty good tight end

766
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,879
Speaker 9: as well. I think he's leading the team and all

767
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 9: those receiver categories or whatever, so he's really good. Played

768
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 9: against Joku a few times, so he has a really

769
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,399
Speaker 9: good supporting cast. Like I said, I think he's really

770
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 9: good at playing on time.

771
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 5: He's very accurate. We all knew that coming out of college.

772
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 9: And I think he's just getting more comfortable within not

773
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 9: only just the offense, but just being an NFL quarterback.

774
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 9: And you know, I'm expecting to conte him to take

775
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 9: that next step this week. So it's not just because

776
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 9: he's a rookie does not mean we could take this

777
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 9: guy likely.

778
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 5: He's very talented.

779
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 8: If you watch enough of fan and yet to know

780
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 8: what has made him as productive as he's spent as

781
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 8: a rookie.

782
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 5: I'm still working through that.

783
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 9: But you know, I just even looked at some of

784
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 9: his numbers in college.

785
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 5: I think he was.

786
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 9: LIKEAA actively in a few categories. So he's a really

787
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,399
Speaker 9: talented tight end. He's really good as far as run

788
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,399
Speaker 9: out of their catch. I think that makes them really good.

789
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 9: So I'm expecting them to throw some screens stuff like that,

790
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 9: especially with like you know, you're talking about the weather

791
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 9: to win, chill and all that other stuff. So I'm

792
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 9: expecting them to go out there run the ball. But

793
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 9: obviously Judkins he's a really good rookie running back as well.

794
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 9: And then obviously some screens to the tight ends and

795
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 9: stuff like that and take the shots when they can.

796
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 15: They've had some, they've had some productive runs out of

797
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 15: the wildcat with Judkins. I mean, I know it didn't

798
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 15: work on the two point last week, But what do

799
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 15: you have to be aware of when they use that package.

800
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 9: I mean, I guess for me, it's safety. Just the

801
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 9: different things they can work off of that, right if.

802
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 5: Doors in the game or not.

803
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 9: You know what I'm saying, they maybe you have to

804
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 9: throw it to shador or something like that. To any

805
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 9: type of you know what, I will kind of say

806
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 9: like trick plays off of the wildcat. But you know,

807
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 9: anytime you have your defending wildcat as a defense is

808
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 9: basically you know, it's kind of tating on eleven or whatever,

809
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 9: you know what I mean, because at the end of

810
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 9: the day, now you have to take the guy, especially

811
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 9: if you put the quarterback out there, you kind of

812
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 9: maybe taking a post safe with yall to kind of

813
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 9: make sure he's hovering over the quarterback. And then they

814
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 9: have an extra hat, you know what I'm saying. The

815
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 9: Black guys, So it's a very effective play, you know.

816
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 9: I know in my experience is playing against like New

817
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 9: Orleans Saints with Taysom Hill, it was very successful with them.

818
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 9: So they do a really good job of it. Like

819
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 9: I said, he's a really good running back. He runs

820
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 9: very hard.

821
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 3: He's a resetting and it's this time of year and

822
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,760
Speaker 3: focusing on that next game, not getting ahead of yourselves,

823
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 3: no stake and what you guys are playing for.

824
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean some people will call this a classic

825
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 9: trap game, whatever it may be. I don't really believe

826
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 9: in trap games in the league. I think every single

827
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 9: week you have to bring your best ball, regardless of records. Uh,

828
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 9: this is the National Football league and every team and

829
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 9: everybody's playing for something regardless of what the record is.

830
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 9: I remember us last year not having a great record,

831
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 9: but every single week went out there, we played for

832
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 9: the name on the front of the jersey, name on

833
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 9: the back of the jersey, playing for pride. So we

834
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 9: cannot take this team lightly at all. But the reality

835
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 9: is is that obviously we have Cleveland coming up, and

836
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 9: then you know, the next three weeks is against you know,

837
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 9: it's four playoff I think it's three playoff spots basically

838
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 9: outside of division, and then you got four or five

839
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 9: of the teams that's fighting for red if it's a

840
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 9: division league wild card spots. So we have to be

841
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 9: playing our best ball ran this time of the year

842
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 9: and it starts this week and it's Cleveland.

843
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,240
Speaker 8: You don't believe in trap games, But as a veteran

844
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 8: team leader, do you have to talk to some of

845
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 8: the younger guys just basically say focus on the Browns.

846
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 5: Don't because obviously just playing the package you're playing like

847
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 5: you Yeah, I will talk to a couple of guys.

848
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 9: I don't think anybody in this locker is going to

849
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 9: take this team lightly, but I will just make sure

850
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 9: I'm reminding guys, like we need our best week of practice.

851
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 9: You know what I'm saying, Focus on the day, have

852
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 9: our best week of practice. Don't get too caught up

853
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 9: on you know, the game's coming up or what the

854
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 9: weather is going to be like, you know what I mean,

855
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 9: Let's focus on today. Let's get better today. Let's have

856
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 9: our best day of Wednesday. I know, I think we

857
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 9: just have a walk through today, but let's have our

858
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 9: best focus today because I believe in just the momentum

859
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 9: of the week carries on, you know what I mean.

860
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 9: I don't really believe on momentum caring from week to week,

861
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 9: but I believe from how you start your Monday going

862
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 9: Saturday can determine how well you play on Sunday. So

863
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:05,839
Speaker 9: just focus on today having the best day we possibly can.

864
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 16: It's the next step for the for the defense, Like

865
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 16: if something needs tightening up, something you'd like to see

866
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 16: be better in these final games.

867
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 9: What is the next I mean I just think that,

868
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 9: you know, just looking back at the last game whatever.

869
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 9: Maybe obviously we have some exposive players that we can't

870
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 9: allow to happen.

871
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:22,359
Speaker 5: So that's one thing.

872
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 9: As far as on the back end, we got to

873
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,439
Speaker 9: tighten up with just the execution of different coverages, making

874
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 9: sure we're on top of that. But then obviously late

875
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 9: in the year, you know, you got to be able

876
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 9: to stop the run. You know, teams are gonna want

877
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:33,800
Speaker 9: to be able to run the ball and then have

878
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:35,839
Speaker 9: play action off of that, So stopping to run first

879
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 9: and foremost to be able to have the opportunity to

880
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 9: defend guys on third down, because I think looking at

881
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 9: the last game, Green Bay was eight or twelve on

882
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 9: third downs, but I think seven of those third downs

883
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,879
Speaker 9: were three and less, So that means that they were

884
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 9: really good on first and second down. So we have

885
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 9: to be better on early downs to be able to

886
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 9: get guys in the third and long because we're really

887
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 9: good on third and long. So I just think those

888
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 9: are a couple of things we just got to button up.

889
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,359
Speaker 9: But we're just continuing to get better.

890
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 2: Kevin Byard impressive dude. That was fun to listen to

891
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 2: and really interesting. Impressive guy. Their time for our first

896
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 3: To Doc to Zee. Yeah, Kevin Byard is an impressive guy.

897
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 3: Two time Pro Bowler, two time first team All Pro

898
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 3: back in two thoy and seventeen, Kevin Byard actually led

899
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,439
Speaker 3: the NFL with eight interceptions. He's gone on and he's

900
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,839
Speaker 3: played in his time with Tennessee. He's been with Philadelphia.

901
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 3: In last two years he has been with the Bears.

902
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 3: He currently leads the NFL this year, believe it or not,

903
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 3: with six interceptions already. This is a defense that leads

904
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 3: the NFL in interceptions. They've got eighteen of them. They're

905
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 3: plus seventeen on the turnover margin. They have eighteen interceptions,

906
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,840
Speaker 3: nine fumbles, twenty seven takeaways. Here's a crazy thing. We

907
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 3: were talking about Bayer back in twenty seventeen, the year

908
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 3: in which he led the NFL with eight interceptions. Did

909
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 3: you know he once had a three interception game against

910
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 3: the Cleveland Browns, a game in which Tennessee won thirteen

911
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 3: to ten in overtime, twelve to nine, close, twelve to

912
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 3: nine in overtime. Not a single touchdown was scored.

913
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 4: I remember this.

914
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 3: In that game twelve to nine. Deshaun Kaiser started it,

915
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 3: Cody Kessler finished it. They both threw picks. Marcus Mariota

916
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 3: was the quarterback for Tennessee. Oh Wow. Leading Russia that

917
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 3: day was DeMarco Murray for them.

918
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 4: By the way, that was like September October. It was

919
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 4: like early in the season.

920
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 3: It was week seven of the season, Sunday, October. The

921
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 3: twenty second from buy Oar had three picks, So we

922
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,240
Speaker 3: don't want them to have that. So by our leads

923
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 3: the NFL in interceptions. Nashawan Wright, their corner, leads the

924
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,439
Speaker 3: league in total takeaways. He has five picks and three

925
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 3: fumble recoveries. Jalen Johnson, their Pro Bowl corners only played

926
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 3: two games or three games. I'm sorry, he's getting back

927
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 3: up to speed. Overall, as a defense there they do

928
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:13,359
Speaker 3: a lot of man relative to other teams, only thirty

929
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 3: one percent, so still twice as much zone for every man.

930
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,320
Speaker 3: But they play the eighth most man coverage thirty four percent.

931
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,359
Speaker 3: Blitz rate's tenth highest thirty seven percent stunt rate, that's

932
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 3: third highest in the NFL. That's something to pay ten shoot.

933
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 3: Because the Browns had a lot of problems with the

934
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 3: Tennessee Titans stunts last week. They are a team that

935
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 3: lives pretty much exclusively in nickel and dime eighty three

936
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 3: percent of the time. Their top coverages are Cover one,

937
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 3: Cover three, and Cover two. Quarterbacks have thrown interceptions in

938
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 3: them basically in every game but three this season. No

939
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,439
Speaker 3: quarterbacks doon for more than two hundred fifty yards against

940
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 3: them in the last four games. You can run on

941
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 3: this defense. It's not a great defense. Statistically, it really

942
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 3: isn't a great defense. And so I think the Browns

943
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 3: should have some success here running the football against this

944
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 3: Bears team. And I think they should have some successrow. Now,

945
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 3: you got to be careful about the takeaways. That's really

946
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 3: how this team has kind of made their hey, as

947
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 3: it were. They've been a very good offense, we'll talk

948
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 3: about that, and since Week five they are the number

949
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:15,280
Speaker 3: one total offense, number one rushing offense, number seven scoring

950
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 3: offense since Week five. But it's their defense really that

951
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 3: has struggled. Twenty fifth in scoring, thirtieth in yards per

952
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,879
Speaker 3: play six point one, thirtieth in yards per carry five

953
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 3: point one, and pass yards per tent they lo have

954
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,879
Speaker 3: seven point three twenty eighth. It's the takeaways that mask

955
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,840
Speaker 3: everything that they are doing, and then they have a

956
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 3: very good offense. Their offense has been one of the

957
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 3: very best in league, but this is a defense whose

958
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 3: success has been built on its ability to take the

959
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 3: football away more than anything else. Montes Sweat, he's their

960
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 3: leading pass rusher eight and a half sacks, who's a

961
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 3: Pro Bowler back in twenty twenty three, he's got eight

962
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 3: and a half sacks, thirteen hits. Gervon Dexter their second

963
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 3: rounder and twenty twenty three second on the team with

964
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 3: four sacks, but usually it's those two guys. They don't

965
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 3: have a ton of sacks this year, their twenty six

966
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 3: in league, just twenty four sacks on the season, and

967
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 3: they will have to play without Tremaine Edmonds, who is

968
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 3: having a great season at linebacker. In ten games he

969
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 3: had eighty nine tackles and four interceptions himself. So you

970
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,320
Speaker 3: can attack them a little bit at that second level.

971
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 3: They're going to play DeMarco Jackson, a fifth rounder from

972
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, and then they've got TJ. Edwards as well,

973
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,399
Speaker 3: who was a undrafted free agent in seven season out

974
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 3: of Wisconsin, a former Philadelphia Eagle. Those are the linebackers.

975
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 3: They're going to play that four two five that's basically

976
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 3: how they roll. And on the back end, Tyrek Stevenson,

977
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 3: their starting corner, has been out last few weeks with

978
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 3: a hip. We'll see if he's back. They'll play Buyyard

979
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:35,720
Speaker 3: and Jakwan Brisker at the safety positions. CJ. Gardner Johnson

980
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 3: basically who is a safety, plays the big nickel, and

981
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 3: then they'll get Jalen Johnson, Naseean Wright in there at

982
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 3: the cornerback spot as well as Nick McCleod. So we'll

983
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 3: see if they get Tyrek Stevenson back. But that's kind

984
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,320
Speaker 3: of where this team is at right now in terms

985
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 3: of the way that they play the four to two five.

986
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 3: That's their base defense, and I think the Browns should

987
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 3: have some success running the football. It's not a big

988
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 3: front at all. Dexter's the only three hundred pounder on

989
00:45:57,960 --> 00:45:59,280
Speaker 3: their starting defensive line.

990
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 2: There you go, there's your breakdown from Doctor Z and

991
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 2: join Doctor Z and Jaron Tonight' seven to eight Kevin

Speaker 2: Proud Investing equity partner of your Cleveland Browns. It is

1012
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:14,359
Speaker 2: playoff week. My friend, and I think what you're looking

1013
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 2: for here is who's healthy and who can go?

1014
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 3: All right, here we go playoffs. And this is a

1015
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,880
Speaker 3: tough part about the playoffs is that you've got, you know,

1016
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 3: some injuries. You know who your guys are. I'm gonna

1017
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 3: tell you this for first one, We're just gonna start

1018
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 3: with this Justin Jefferson. Justin Jefferson has been useless from

1019
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 3: a fantasy perspective. But you would be more upset with

1020
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,880
Speaker 3: yourself if he goes off against the Dallas Cowboys and

1021
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 3: you sat Justin Jefferson in that cost of your game

1022
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,320
Speaker 3: than any other outcome. So I would suggest you continue

1023
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 3: to go with him this week. All right, really, where

1024
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:52,959
Speaker 3: you're gonna be looking and things that think about going

1025
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 3: in not only right now on your bench. If there,

1026
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 3: for example, are guys that you know you're not gonna

1027
00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 3: play at any point in your fantasy playoffs, take a

1028
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 3: look ahead to next week and then to your championship

1029
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:04,360
Speaker 3: week and try to get a defense. For example, I

1030
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 3: think the Saints host the Jets. I want to say

1031
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 3: in week fifteen or week sixteen the next week that

1032
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:12,319
Speaker 3: some of you can grab and then now you got good.

1033
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 3: You're in a good spot there, you know, for the

1034
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:15,839
Speaker 3: next week at a defense. That's where you can make

1035
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 3: I think a little bit of your Hey, quarterbacks, you're

1036
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 3: dancing with what brung you here. I think Brock Purdy

1037
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 3: is a nice kind of if you need to pick

1038
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 3: up and play. Somebody like Marcus Mariota could be a

1039
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:27,959
Speaker 3: nice pick up and play as well, if you're looking

1040
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 3: at that. But it's basically, this is not the time

1041
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 3: to mess around. Joe Stafford is back and ready to roll.

1042
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 4: I'm sorry.

1043
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow is back. Matt Stafford and Joe Burrow, the

1044
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 3: two of them combined, that's two and three on my rankings. Here,

1045
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:41,319
Speaker 3: I think that Joe Burrow is ready to roll like

1046
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 3: you saw it stardom period, even though he may not

1047
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 3: be happy he's back in race art So a lot

1048
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 3: of people like, for example, at a leagu where I

1049
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 3: had Matt Stafford and Burrow, and I kept playing Stafford

1050
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,320
Speaker 3: last week, could have played Burrow, but I was like,

1051
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 3: let's see, you know, a full let's really see it.

1052
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 3: Against Buffalo. He's fully back, They've got both their receivers

1053
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 3: are healthy. He's good to go. Running backs. Keep an

1054
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,799
Speaker 3: eye on some of the injury situations out there. If

1055
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 3: there's a situation where one of the top guys you

1056
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 3: know ends up missing, And so who are some of

1057
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 3: the people I'm thinking about, for example, guys who were

1058
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:17,280
Speaker 3: limited in practice or could be questionable Josh Jacobs, Devin

1059
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 3: a Chan, Devon a Chan. If he's out with that

1060
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:23,800
Speaker 3: rib injury, he's good. They think he's gonna be limited.

1061
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 3: If that's good, he'll wear a non contact jersey. But

1062
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 3: then Jalen Wright, who blew up once he went out

1063
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 3: last week and got a lot of work. Jalen Wright

1064
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 3: needs to be on your team and be ready to

1065
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 3: plug and play. For the most part, you're not messing

1066
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 3: around the semi season. You're playing the guys that are

1067
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,360
Speaker 3: the guys like bottom line, you're playing the guys that

1068
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 3: have gotten you there, and that's the way you're gonna

1069
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:44,360
Speaker 3: roll with it. The area where I think that you

1070
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 3: can you know, as I said before, is tight end

1071
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 3: and defense are the ones where he can maybe play

1072
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 3: some matchups now at this point, Harold Fannon, I feel

1073
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:53,760
Speaker 3: like feels like a must play of our Cleveland Browns

1074
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:57,959
Speaker 3: Kyle Pitts with London out going against Tampa, they're gonna

1075
00:49:57,960 --> 00:49:59,760
Speaker 3: throw it. Like last week he had six for ninety.

1076
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,720
Speaker 3: He's somebody that you're gonna keep going with. Dalton Kincaid

1077
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 3: is back in. When Dalton k and Kaid's been on there,

1078
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 3: he's actually had the highest share of his team's passing

1079
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 3: than any other tight end in the league. It's him,

1080
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 3: brock Bauers and McBride when he's been healthy. So Dalton Kincaid,

1081
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:15,320
Speaker 3: I saw him on a waiver wire in the league.

1082
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 3: Certainly give him a look. I don't think this is

1083
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 3: the week for Colston Lovelin. That's me with my Browns

1084
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:20,480
Speaker 3: head on. I'm just saying it. That's how I feel,

1085
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 3: all right. Defenses, Seattle Seahawks defense number one play this week.

1086
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 3: I don't know if they're startin Riley Leonard. I don't

1087
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 3: know if they're startin Phil Rivers. Does not matter. Seahawks

1088
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 3: are the number one play this week. Eagles against the Raiders,

1089
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:40,720
Speaker 3: Houston against Arizona, Niners against Tennessee Jags against the Jets.

1090
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 3: Those are the defenses this week that are head and shoulders,

1091
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 3: I think above any other defenses, head and shoulders above

1092
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 3: any other defenses. Those are the defenses I think that

1093
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:54,279
Speaker 3: you want. You're in the playoffs. Those are the ones

1094
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 3: that you want this week in my opinion, So that's

1095
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:59,240
Speaker 3: something to think about. But just as I said earlier,

1096
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:01,240
Speaker 3: and this is something you can do right now because

1097
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 3: not everybody thinks like this, and this can be an

1098
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 3: advantage for you going into week sixteen. So week sixteen

1099
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:10,399
Speaker 3: should you advance? Who are the defense? Just like I said,

1100
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:12,239
Speaker 3: the Seahawks are the best play this week. Next week

1101
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,360
Speaker 3: they host the Rams. You don't want to play the Seahawks.

1102
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 3: So now you got to look and say, Okay, who

1103
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 3: do I want next week to be my fantasy defense?

1104
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 3: And as you go through it, Saints at home versus

1105
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:25,839
Speaker 3: the Jets, Chiefs on the road versus the Titans, yep,

1106
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:29,280
Speaker 3: those are probably the best matchups that you can find.

1107
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 3: And then Texans at home against the Raiders, that's going

1108
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 3: to be that could be a juggernaut type of a

1109
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 3: defensive performance. And then going ahead, even looking one more

1110
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:40,799
Speaker 3: week into Week seventeen, these are the things you think of.

1111
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 3: For example, the Texans next week and the last week

1112
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 3: they're at the Chargers. You're not going to want to

1113
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:47,399
Speaker 3: play that defense that week. So teams that you would

1114
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 3: be looking for in the finale. If the Colts still

1115
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,400
Speaker 3: have no quarterback. The Jacksonville Jags are a good play

1116
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 3: if you're looking at the Patriots. They get the Jets,

1117
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 3: and the Patriots have been a good, very good fantasy

1118
00:51:57,239 --> 00:52:00,320
Speaker 3: defense all season. The Saints get the Titans again. Saints

1119
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 3: could be one of those sneaky give you two weeks

1120
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:04,920
Speaker 3: a good defense there down the stretch. So those are

1121
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 3: the teams and things kind of to be thinking about

1122
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 3: here at this point in the season.

1123
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 4: Good job, real quick. I do have a question from

1124
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:16,279
Speaker 4: Gabon Wadsworth. He has bo Nix on his roster, but

1125
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:21,399
Speaker 4: he also on the free agent wire. Jared Goff's out there,

1126
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 4: Shador is out there and c. J. Stroud is out there.

1127
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 3: Well play golf.

1128
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:30,839
Speaker 4: What league is this Gabon Wadsworth's fantasy league?

1129
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:34,239
Speaker 3: gabD Wadsworth is in a league that Jared Goff is

1130
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 3: on the waiver wire?

1131
00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 4: Yes, and he's asking who should I play this week?

1132
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:40,240
Speaker 4: Jared Goff, Jared Goff. He should go get Jared Goff

1133
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 4: and play Jared Goff.

1134
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 3: Yes, there you go, Gavin Wadsworth. Gabrie, I think you

1135
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 3: sure what's going on there, but I think you need

1136
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 3: to investigate the quality of the.

1137
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 4: League that you're playing in Yes, how about a little

1138
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 4: Thursday night football score.

1139
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 3: Let's do it.

1140
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 2: Well, there's no way that the Buccaneers are on a Thursday.

1141
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:01,640
Speaker 2: There's Zerich chants. The Buccaneers are losing. They're gonna win

1142
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 2: by I mean, I don't even know the greatest uniform combination.

1143
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 3: This is a unbelievable matchup, and they're going color against color,

1144
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 3: which is beautable. It's going to be unbelievable. It's Origines.

1145
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:13,399
Speaker 3: That's the only reason I might watch. It's gonna get

1146
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 3: second screen for me. I feel like I really need

1147
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:18,920
Speaker 3: a good Christmas movie. They'll really get going, get fired up,

1148
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 3: you know me. I'm a big I'd like this time.

1149
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 2: I'd like where your head's at. I got the Bucks

1150
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:27,359
Speaker 2: by a billion, just by a Thursday. Even stop them.

1151
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:28,440

Speaker 2: Ultimate Game Day. Here's your defensive coordinator, Jim Schwartz.

1171
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 3: You played Detroit this year? Is this effects simile?

1172
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 17: Yeah, there's a lot of similarities in scheme, but also

1173
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 17: a little bit in personnel and the way they use

1174
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 17: some of their guys, the two backs. You know, obviously

1175
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:50,440
Speaker 17: Detroit has Gibbs and Montgomery sort of a outside inside

1176
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:53,239
Speaker 17: kind of threat, and you know, Swift gives them a

1177
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:55,520
Speaker 17: lot of things that Gibbs gives them. And I know

1178
00:54:55,560 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 17: I'm gonna butcher this kid's name Manangui guy gives you

1179
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 17: a hammer, you know, sort of like Montgomery. I'll tell

1180
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:05,279
Speaker 17: you what, I got a lot of respect for that kid.

1181
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:08,399
Speaker 17: He is a hard, hard runner. He was a late

1182
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 17: round draft pick, not the biggest guy in around, but

1183
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:13,759
Speaker 17: there's nothing to hit on him. She shaped a lot

1184
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:17,360
Speaker 17: like Gente and that gives them that good one to

1185
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 17: two punch. A lot of the similar kind of play

1186
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 17: action stuff. You know, they're a heavy heavy run, play

1187
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 17: action team. All their wide receivers will block the same

1188
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 17: way that the same day Detroit's will, and all their

1189
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 17: guys are good run after the catch guys. So yeah,

1190
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 17: there's more similarities than just scheme. There's they're trying to

1191
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:42,759
Speaker 17: place personnel the same way tight ends are good. It's

1192
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 17: really a solid group across the board, a lot of

1193
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 17: guys that can make plays, and the biggest thing is

1194
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:52,239
Speaker 17: the run game. And then Caleb Williams sort of make

1195
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 17: him plays off schedule, you know, like we faced Lamar

1196
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 17: Jackson a couple times a year. We faced you know,

1197
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:02,799
Speaker 17: justin fields. We're going to have to have every bit

1198
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 17: as much hands on deck the stop quarterback scrambles as

1199
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 17: we do with those guys, because you know, Caleb. I mean,

1200
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:12,759
Speaker 17: he looks like fran Tarkenton out there. Sometimes he's got

1201
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 17: eyes in the back of a head, like you know,

1202
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:17,840
Speaker 17: I saw stat somewhere that like he has like thirty

1203
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 17: some unblocked blitzers or rushers, and he's taken zero sacks

1204
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:25,759
Speaker 17: on those guys. So he just has the ability to

1205
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:28,319
Speaker 17: see him coming somehow. Eyes in the back of his

1206
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 17: head make guys miss and then expend and extend plays,

1207
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 17: and when he does, he threatens the entire field. He

1208
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:38,440
Speaker 17: can throw across his body fifty yards down the field

1209
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 17: and he can dot an eye when he does it.

1210
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 17: So it's not just taking the run game away from him,

1211
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 17: but it's taken the scrambles to throw, you know. And

1212
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:50,320
Speaker 17: that stuff puts a lot of pressure on your defense.

1213
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:53,840
Speaker 17: So good play action team, good run team, and a

1214
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:56,319
Speaker 17: quarterback that can make plays all schedule in a lot

1215
00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:59,400
Speaker 17: of wide receivers and tight ends that can run after

1216
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:02,239
Speaker 17: the catch. Tough scheme, great challenge for us.

1217
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:06,719
Speaker 13: Johnson had so many trick plays in public when he's

1218
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:09,399
Speaker 13: with Detroit see here and that over Chicago, and.

1219
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:12,280
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean they still have them, maybe a little

1220
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:15,480
Speaker 17: bit less so, but you still have to be you

1221
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:17,920
Speaker 17: ready for them. They got reverses, they got double reverse,

1222
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 17: they got two quarterbacks in the game. You know, they

1223
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 17: got wildcat they have You know that that same little

1224
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 17: stumble winter quarterback came out from under center that they

1225
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:32,840
Speaker 17: ran last year, they ran the same thing this year.

1226
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 17: So you know, that's just part of it. It puts

1227
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 17: with a lot of stuff that they do, with a

1228
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:40,560
Speaker 17: lot of the motions and double motions and shifts and

1229
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:43,800
Speaker 17: bringing guys behind the ball, that stuff that's becoming ever

1230
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 17: more prevalent.

1231
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 3: In the NFL.

1232
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:49,040
Speaker 17: But it puts a big, big emphasis on where your

1233
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 17: eyes are and I discipline and if you if you

1234
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 17: take a bad step, you can you know you can,

1235
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 17: they can make you pay for it. What's the same

1236
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:01,520
Speaker 17: thing with trick play kind of kind of things. If

1237
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 17: you take your eyes off of at the wrong time,

1238
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:06,400
Speaker 17: it's going to make you look bad. So it's just

1239
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 17: more of an emphasis on doing your job, watching what

1240
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 17: you're supposed to watch at, being disciplined with your eyes,

1241
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:14,440
Speaker 17: and then playing with physicality once you make that decision,

1242
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 17: once you read your key.

1243
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 4: So the big difference in their offense is that they

1244
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:24,040
Speaker 4: don't get somebody percent completions like Detroit does what accounts

1245
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:24,240
Speaker 4: for that?

1246
00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 7: Is it just a young quarterback?

1247
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:28,560
Speaker 17: No, I think it's more where their passes are going.

1248
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 17: They're pushing them all down the field a lot. You know,

1249
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:36,240
Speaker 17: Like there's a lot of deep passes, passes over fifteen,

1250
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 17: which just by definition, you're not going to you know,

1251
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:42,440
Speaker 17: you're not going to complete as many of those, And

1252
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 17: like some of the scrambles and things like that, they're

1253
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:50,760
Speaker 17: not super high percentage. I mean they're high high reward

1254
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 17: if you can make them, but they're not super high percentage.

1255
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:56,920
Speaker 17: He doesn't build up the stats. I mean, they have

1256
00:58:57,040 --> 00:59:01,440
Speaker 17: their RPOs and they have their short passes, but like

1257
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 17: it's Ron and then play actions that really pushed.

1258
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 4: The ball down the field.

1259
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:07,200
Speaker 7: And you know, I think.

1260
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 17: You probably see that a little bit more in the

1261
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:12,880
Speaker 17: completion percentage, but maybe less so in the yards per

1262
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:14,600
Speaker 17: attempt and things like that.

1263
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 7: You finished the game without that.

1264
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 5: We talked for yesterday.

1265
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:21,080
Speaker 13: You said he's still trying to get that cat right.

1266
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 13: Do you change a lot as parentally if you don't.

1267
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 3: Have it well yet yet to be seen.

1268
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:32,280
Speaker 17: And I always let Kevin speak on injuries and things

1269
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 17: like that when we've lost guys at different times in

1270
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:39,960
Speaker 17: the year. This year, we really haven't changed anything mid

1271
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 17: game yet to be seen if it would be changed

1272
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:43,440
Speaker 17: before the game.

1273
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:46,480
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, time now for the other side of

1274
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:48,600
Speaker 2: the matchup, and for that we hear from Bears head

1275
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 2: coach Ben Johnson and quarterback Caleb Williams.

1276
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:52,240
Speaker 5: Look forward to.

1277
00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 18: Turn the page here this week today, getting the guys

1278
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 18: in and you know, focusing on Cleveland. It's a it's

1279
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:01,680
Speaker 18: a team that really last three games. You know, with

1280
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 18: a new quarterback. You can feel their offense picking it

1281
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:06,919
Speaker 18: up a little bit. He's a dangerous player, and their

1282
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:11,200
Speaker 18: defense its top three defense. I mean, they're really good team.

1283
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 18: Speed off the charts and it shows up. We're gonna

1284
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:16,520
Speaker 18: have a challenge here to move the ball and score

1285
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:20,400
Speaker 18: points on our side. So looking forward to coming back

1286
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:22,480
Speaker 18: to home. It feels like we haven't played at Soldier

1287
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:24,720
Speaker 18: in a while, so hopefully we'll get a good home

1288
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:27,200
Speaker 18: crowd and get that feeling going again.

1289
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 5: So I'll go and open it up from there.

1290
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:33,640
Speaker 8: And this week, knowing the challenge that he'll face with

1291
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:36,440
Speaker 8: Miles Garrett, what is the key to setting him up

1292
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:39,760
Speaker 8: for successful schematically and then preparing him sort of psychologically

1293
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 8: for the challenge that's there.

1294
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:43,360
Speaker 18: Yeah, I mean it's I think it's every week that

1295
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 18: you know, he does a great job of just hitting

1296
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 18: that reset button and coming in and focus on his

1297
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:53,440
Speaker 18: technique and his fundamentals, and you know, he's a very

1298
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:57,920
Speaker 18: conscious player. He's very aware of what's going on, who

1299
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:01,680
Speaker 18: he's going against, where his help is, and he tries

1300
01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:04,959
Speaker 18: to use it that that way. So not our first

1301
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 18: time that we've gone against a dynamic pass rusher. Certainly

1302
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 18: this guy is you know, he might be on another

1303
01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:13,040
Speaker 18: level than anybody else in this league right now, but

1304
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 18: you know, we've gone against Crosby and Hutchinson and Micah

1305
01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:21,720
Speaker 18: now and so this is the next one, and we'll

1306
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:23,840
Speaker 18: certainly have a plan and be aware of how we

1307
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 18: can help not just Ozzie, but it's also also Darnell

1308
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:30,640
Speaker 18: as well, because the scheme that they run is a

1309
01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:33,200
Speaker 18: little bit difference that wide nine, where I mean, these

1310
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:35,920
Speaker 18: guys are in sprinter mode and they're looking to go

1311
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:38,959
Speaker 18: right to that launch point at the quarterback and every

1312
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 18: single snap and if we happen to hand the ball

1313
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:42,920
Speaker 18: off and they'll try to tackle the ball carrier.

1314
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:43,280
Speaker 5: Along the way.

1315
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:46,200
Speaker 18: But I mean, that's it is their intent to get

1316
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:49,960
Speaker 18: to the quarterback. That entire defensive line is pretty good here.

1317
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:54,640
Speaker 16: It's like what distinguishes him from those other defensive vents

1318
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:56,960
Speaker 16: or edge rushers that you just mentioned, Like, what are

1319
01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:57,960
Speaker 16: his superpowers?

1320
01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:00,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's just a complete player.

1321
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 18: I think when you look at the size and strength

1322
01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 18: and speed, it's just a unique package where he really

1323
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:07,840
Speaker 18: has it all.

1324
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:09,520
Speaker 5: I mean, he's very strong.

1325
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:12,040
Speaker 18: He's got that bull rush that can take a tackle

1326
01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 18: and put him on roller skates and walk them right

1327
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:17,040
Speaker 18: back into the quarterback, which happens quite a bit because

1328
01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 18: every team that you see on tape, I mean they

1329
01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 18: have a plan for him to to slow him down,

1330
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:24,720
Speaker 18: and yet the chip gets off of him and he

1331
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:27,880
Speaker 18: just still walks that tackle on back into the quarterback.

1332
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 5: And so he does a great job with that.

1333
01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:32,200
Speaker 18: And then you know, have him forbid you you ever

1334
01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:35,080
Speaker 18: leave him one on one, and that's really where you

1335
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:38,200
Speaker 18: know he shows up. He's almost unblockable that way in

1336
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:41,840
Speaker 18: past protection. So a lot of respect for him. He's

1337
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:45,160
Speaker 18: done an incredible job. And you know, just to look

1338
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:48,160
Speaker 18: at the number of double teams, triple teams as you

1339
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:50,640
Speaker 18: see on tape, and yet he still has twenty sacks

1340
01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:53,640
Speaker 18: on the season. It's it's pretty remarkable and it's a

1341
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:54,960
Speaker 18: special season for him, no doubt.

1342
01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:57,160
Speaker 15: He tasted a lot of good pass rushers this year.

1343
01:02:57,240 --> 01:03:00,720
Speaker 15: How does Max Crosby, mikeah Parsons, all those guys prepare

1344
01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:02,240
Speaker 15: you for the challenge of Myles Garrett?

1345
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:06,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, obviously, obviously he's he's right there at the sack record,

1346
01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:08,960
Speaker 6: almost there at the sack record, and so, uh, I'm

1347
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:10,600
Speaker 6: going to try and make sure that he doesn't get

1348
01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:14,000
Speaker 6: the sack record on us and on me. But you know,

1349
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:16,080
Speaker 6: I think I think those games have prepared you know,

1350
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 6: offensive line us as a game plan and and and

1351
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 6: going versus those type of players where they're just you know,

1352
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:25,640
Speaker 6: they're they're the the s tier players where you just

1353
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:28,200
Speaker 6: got to, you know, make sure every single snap, every

1354
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:32,360
Speaker 6: single play, everything is is not allowing them to wreck

1355
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 6: the game. That's something that he can do. That's something

1356
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:37,480
Speaker 6: that he's done throughout his whole career. And so, you know,

1357
01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:40,000
Speaker 6: we're excited for the challenge. We're excited for this week.

1358
01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:42,640
Speaker 6: We're excited to try and get back into win column.

1359
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:44,919
Speaker 15: Hell, how does he win so much at the line

1360
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:45,520
Speaker 15: of scrimmage?

1361
01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:47,360
Speaker 5: And what are the communication points for you?

1362
01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:50,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, he has a he has a as as the

1363
01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 6: kids say, is a deep bag of of you know,

1364
01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:57,960
Speaker 6: of tricks. And whether it's his his euro step, his

1365
01:03:58,040 --> 01:04:00,480
Speaker 6: speed is off the ball, you know, put him at

1366
01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:03,760
Speaker 6: the linebacker area and let him just kind of do

1367
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:07,880
Speaker 6: his thing, and you know, so it's it's he's like

1368
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:09,920
Speaker 6: I said, he has he has a deep bag of tricks.

1369
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 6: And it's gonna be a good challenge for us as

1370
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 6: a as an offense, as an offensive line, and you know,

1371
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:19,080
Speaker 6: running backs, everybody, everybody accounts for him and and everybody

1372
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 6: else in that field. So like I said, he has

1373
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:23,080
Speaker 6: a he is a deep bag of tricks. And you know,

1374
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:26,560
Speaker 6: somebody is well polished as he is throughout the NFL

1375
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:29,919
Speaker 6: and and throughout his years in NFL. You know, it's

1376
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:33,120
Speaker 6: it's that's what makes him so so it makes some

1377
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:36,240
Speaker 6: mileth scared, all right.

1378
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 3: That was Caleb Williams and the head coach of the Bears,

1379
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson for this match up here, it is the

1380
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 3: Browns defense against the Bears offense. Bears the number two

1381
01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:47,560
Speaker 3: rushing attack in the NFL one hundred and fifty two

1382
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:50,240
Speaker 3: points six yards per game, four point nine yards per carry.

1383
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:53,520
Speaker 3: It's a two headed monster, DeAndre Swift, He's got eight

1384
01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:55,760
Speaker 3: hundred and seventy three yards. Kyle m Nung guy, you

1385
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 3: heard Jim Schwartz talk about it. He's got six hundred

1386
01:04:57,720 --> 01:05:00,600
Speaker 3: and forty eight. He's the bruiser out of Rutgers. So

1387
01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:03,360
Speaker 3: they have those two guys. Coleston Loveland over his last

1388
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:05,400
Speaker 3: six the number ten overall pick in the drafts averaging

1389
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:07,480
Speaker 3: fifty yards a game and he has four touchdowns in

1390
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:09,960
Speaker 3: his last six. They've got him as well as Cole Comet,

1391
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:13,080
Speaker 3: who's been very productive throughout his career. And then at receivers,

1392
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:15,080
Speaker 3: they got Roma Dunes they averaging fifteen yards of catch,

1393
01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:17,640
Speaker 3: chicks hundred and sixty one yard, six touchdowns, DJ Moore

1394
01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:20,160
Speaker 3: who has been a Pro Bowler in his career and

1395
01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:22,200
Speaker 3: one of the best receivers in the league, four one

1396
01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:24,880
Speaker 3: thousand yard seasons under his belt. They've got Luther Burden,

1397
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:29,400
Speaker 3: their second round pick out of Missouri as well. He

1398
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:31,080
Speaker 3: was an early second, so they've got a lot of

1399
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:35,120
Speaker 3: talent there. Caleb Williams has been clutched this season. He's

1400
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:38,040
Speaker 3: got five fourth quarter comebacks, five game winning drives, He's

1401
01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:41,960
Speaker 3: throwed nineteen touchdowns six picks, but low completion percentages fifty eight,

1402
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:44,360
Speaker 3: is one of the bottom four in the NFL. And

1403
01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:47,880
Speaker 3: he will hold the football. He will hold it average

1404
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:49,560
Speaker 3: time to throw three point two to three seconds in

1405
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:52,400
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, which is the longest in the NFL.

1406
01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:56,600
Speaker 3: He also will throw hold it sometimes over four seconds. There,

1407
01:05:57,160 --> 01:05:58,920
Speaker 3: Miles Garrett and the Browns, they've got to do a

1408
01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:02,400
Speaker 3: good job of Russis but also staying contained because Caleb Williams,

1409
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:06,040
Speaker 3: despite holding the ball, despite being pressured, has only been

1410
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:08,720
Speaker 3: sacked on twelve percent of his pressure dropbacks. That's the

1411
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:11,280
Speaker 3: fourth lowest rate in the NFL. He's done a good

1412
01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:12,960
Speaker 3: job of getting rid of the football, but if we

1413
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:16,840
Speaker 3: can get pressure on him, he struggles forty one percent

1414
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:20,040
Speaker 3: completion percentage under pressure, fourth lowest in the NFL. That's

1415
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:22,440
Speaker 3: going to be the key stopping the run game and

1416
01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:24,680
Speaker 3: then getting after Caleb Williams. Now, we also have to

1417
01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:28,720
Speaker 3: be careful. They are an explosive offense. The Browns have

1418
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:31,240
Speaker 3: got to be very careful to not let them hit

1419
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:33,520
Speaker 3: those big plays. That will be what they look for.

1420
01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:36,680
Speaker 3: The Bears this year second in the NFL with ninety

1421
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:39,360
Speaker 3: seven big plays in twenty twenty five. That's a twenty

1422
01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:42,200
Speaker 3: yard completion or a ten yard rush. They lead the

1423
01:06:42,320 --> 01:06:45,320
Speaker 3: NFL fifty four runs of ten yards or more. They

1424
01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:48,360
Speaker 3: are ninth with forty three completions of more than twenty

1425
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 3: yards last year. To put a perspective, they had eighty

1426
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:53,920
Speaker 3: two big plays in the entire season. Now, why is

1427
01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:55,440
Speaker 3: their run games so good? We talked about on quin

1428
01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:57,440
Speaker 3: John Judkins is getting hit behind the line of scrimage

1429
01:06:57,440 --> 01:06:58,880
Speaker 3: on more than a half his carries. Who he has

1430
01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:01,680
Speaker 3: the most yards after contact as a share of his

1431
01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:03,800
Speaker 3: total yards of any running back in the NFL. Well,

1432
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:06,320
Speaker 3: the Bears are averaging getting down the field two yards

1433
01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:09,160
Speaker 3: before contact per carry this season, one of the best

1434
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 3: marks in the NFL. Ben Johnson's the head coach, and

1435
01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:15,120
Speaker 3: the coordinator Caleb Williams is a triggerman. It's those two

1436
01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 3: running backs, though, that really make this offense go. When

1437
01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 3: the Browns are gonna have their hands full trying to

1438
01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:24,240
Speaker 3: shut them down. When we come back, we're gonna hear

1439
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:27,200
Speaker 3: from the Browns new starting center Luke Whippler. Here, you

1451
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:11,640
Speaker 3: I know that nobody ever wants it to be under

1452
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:15,240
Speaker 3: these auspices, but you're a football player and you've been

1453
01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:17,040
Speaker 3: a starter. You get to do that again. He started

1454
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:19,559
Speaker 3: one game already, this see her now another opportunity really

1455
01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:21,519

1456
01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:22,599
Speaker 3: can do. How excited are you?

1457
01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:23,280
Speaker 7: Very excited?

1458
01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:25,519
Speaker 19: You know, like I said, it's very unfortunate how it happened,

1459
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:28,439
Speaker 19: and my thoughts and prayers were out to Ethan and hopefully,

1460
01:08:28,439 --> 01:08:31,240
Speaker 19: you know, all his recovery goes very well. But I'm

1461
01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:33,760
Speaker 19: excited for the opportunity and you know, excited to kind

1462
01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:35,200
Speaker 19: of show what I can do for us of the year.

1463
01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:37,160
Speaker 3: What have you learned kind of these last few years

1464
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:38,120
Speaker 3: being behind a guy like you.

1465
01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:41,360
Speaker 19: Oh, there's so much. I mean, he's a consummate professional.

1466
01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:43,920
Speaker 19: I mean, showing up every day, preparing the way he does,

1467
01:08:44,320 --> 01:08:46,559
Speaker 19: picking his mind in the meeting room, on the field,

1468
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:49,320
Speaker 19: I couldn't have got lucky to be behind a guy

1469
01:08:49,400 --> 01:08:51,920
Speaker 19: like him. And I'm just so happy and that he

1470
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:53,800
Speaker 19: welcomed me in with open arms and helped me out

1471
01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:56,120
Speaker 19: the way he did. And you know, I'm just really

1472
01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:57,640
Speaker 19: excited to kind of go show all the things he

1473
01:08:57,680 --> 01:08:58,040
Speaker 19: taught me.

1474
01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:00,639
Speaker 3: Have you ever been around a center there big before?

1475
01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:01,559
Speaker 4: Uh?

1476
01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:04,400
Speaker 19: No, you know, Ethan's definitely a rare the tallest center

1477
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:06,160
Speaker 19: there's got to be. Yeah, he's definitely a rare breed

1478
01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:07,519
Speaker 19: when it comes to that. But you know what that

1479
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:10,479
Speaker 19: comes also some luxury that he has and some things

1480
01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:12,960
Speaker 19: he's taught me about, you know, being able to play

1481
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:15,600
Speaker 19: long and do things like that that he was able.

1482
01:09:15,320 --> 01:09:16,840
Speaker 7: To do and has made a career of doing.

1483
01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:18,519
Speaker 3: Right, So now you get to show. Let's go to

1484
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:20,960
Speaker 3: last week. You know, you hop into the game and

1485
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,479
Speaker 3: it's a point where okay, we're going to be throwing it.

1486
01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:25,920
Speaker 3: They've got Simmons obviously on their defensive line. They were

1487
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:27,800
Speaker 3: running a bunch of different games and everything you hop

1488
01:09:27,880 --> 01:09:29,880
Speaker 3: in there according to the you know, the next gen

1489
01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:31,920
Speaker 3: stats and everything, twenty pass blocking stamps, he didn't allow

1490
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 3: a single pressure. That's good tape that you put out there.

1491
01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 3: I'm sure you're happy with that. What did you kind

1492
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:38,559
Speaker 3: of think going through it in the moment and then

1493
01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:39,840
Speaker 3: when he went back and watched it on tape.

1494
01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:41,680
Speaker 19: Yeah, you know, going out there, you know, it's no

1495
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:43,240
Speaker 19: fun to be sitting there for a couple of hours

1496
01:09:43,240 --> 01:09:45,040
Speaker 19: in the cold weather and then having to go out

1497
01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:46,519
Speaker 19: there and play. So just trying to get my body

1498
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:48,600
Speaker 19: warm and get my mind right. And you know, it

1499
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:50,520
Speaker 19: definitely helps when you have a guy like Joe Potonio

1500
01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:52,880
Speaker 19: and you know, Tevin next to you, and the guys

1501
01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:53,439
Speaker 19: that have played a.

1502
01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:54,479
Speaker 7: Lot of football in this league.

1503
01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:57,280
Speaker 19: Yeah, you know, bring a little comic sense and presence

1504
01:09:57,320 --> 01:09:59,040
Speaker 19: to the huddle and I'm just being able to get

1505
01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:00,800
Speaker 19: my nerves and get my phone because together they were

1506
01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:02,880
Speaker 19: huge in that and just being able to play next

1507
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:05,000
Speaker 19: to them, having been able to communicate and see the

1508
01:10:05,040 --> 01:10:06,720
Speaker 19: game the way they see it, it's been awesome. So

1509
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:10,320
Speaker 19: they were a huge help. And you know, all the

1510
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:11,960
Speaker 19: five of us working together made it happen.

1511
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:12,240
Speaker 5: You know.

1512
01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:14,040
Speaker 3: I was talking to Shador about this too. You know,

1513
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:15,720
Speaker 3: he's a guy that, you know, his whole life, he

1514
01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:17,920
Speaker 3: had been a starter. You come from your time starting

1515
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:19,400
Speaker 3: down at Ohio State, and then all of a sudden,

1516
01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:21,479
Speaker 3: it's like, wait a second, this isn't my routine. I

1517
01:10:21,479 --> 01:10:24,000
Speaker 3: don't even understand what's going on anymore. To kind of

1518
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:25,840
Speaker 3: go back to that comfort, which is what you've done

1519
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 3: so long. How nice is that?

1520
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:28,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, it's great.

1521
01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:30,400
Speaker 19: I mean I always say that during even when I

1522
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:32,280
Speaker 19: was backing up Ethan, I prepared every week like I

1523
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:34,760
Speaker 19: was starting, because you never know in this league, one

1524
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:37,160
Speaker 19: thing can happen and you're in the game. So going

1525
01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:38,559
Speaker 19: into this week, you know, I try not to change

1526
01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:40,160
Speaker 19: too much because I've been doing what I've had to

1527
01:10:40,160 --> 01:10:42,799
Speaker 19: do as if I was the starter. So just continue

1528
01:10:42,800 --> 01:10:45,800
Speaker 19: with my routine, continue with my prep, and just get

1529
01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:46,719
Speaker 19: ready to play on Sunday.

1530
01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:48,559
Speaker 3: Now, how big of a difference is that though getting

1531
01:10:48,600 --> 01:10:51,000
Speaker 3: the reps like actually being the guy getting the reps?

1532
01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 19: It is nice, you know, it is nice during the

1533
01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:54,200
Speaker 19: week to be able to get the rest of the

1534
01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:56,320
Speaker 19: ones and being able to see the defensive looks and

1535
01:10:56,360 --> 01:10:57,760
Speaker 19: not just be able to see it on film, being

1536
01:10:57,760 --> 01:10:59,080
Speaker 19: able to see it with your own eyes. Since this

1537
01:10:59,160 --> 01:11:01,519
Speaker 19: mass has been great, So I'm just trying to bank

1538
01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:04,040
Speaker 19: all those as much as I can and learn every day.

1539
01:11:04,160 --> 01:11:06,040
Speaker 3: All right, let's talk about some things that you love.

1540
01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:07,600
Speaker 3: You mentioned pizza earlier, so we'll get to that in

1541
01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:09,720
Speaker 3: a second. But I know, because I get to be

1542
01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:11,800
Speaker 3: on the field and observe you warming up every week,

1543
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:14,720
Speaker 3: and we talked about it, you love rugby. Yeah, so

1544
01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:17,600
Speaker 3: you're take people through who haven't maybe don't even know

1545
01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:19,599
Speaker 3: or maybe they had seen. You're kind of the way

1546
01:11:19,640 --> 01:11:21,519
Speaker 3: that you choose to warm up for every game with

1547
01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:22,479
Speaker 3: your rugby ball. Yeah.

1548
01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:24,400
Speaker 19: You know, it's the thing I kind of discovered last

1549
01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:27,040
Speaker 19: year when I was recovering from my injury on my

1550
01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:29,439
Speaker 19: leg and I was having hard time, you know, just

1551
01:11:29,439 --> 01:11:31,000
Speaker 19: trying to learn how to run again and doing all

1552
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:33,479
Speaker 19: those things you know, dorsey flextion and knee over tow

1553
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:35,879
Speaker 19: and you know, I went back to something.

1554
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:37,360
Speaker 7: That I was very familiar with, Rugby, a sport I

1555
01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:38,080
Speaker 7: grew up playing.

1556
01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:40,360
Speaker 19: My dad got me into at a very young age,

1557
01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:43,320
Speaker 19: and it was something that kind of just not made

1558
01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:45,040
Speaker 19: me be an athlete. You know, I'm not so much

1559
01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:48,120
Speaker 19: thinking of pointing my toe, getting my shin over my toes,

1560
01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:50,400
Speaker 19: all that kind of stuff. I'm just having the rugby

1561
01:11:50,439 --> 01:11:52,240
Speaker 19: ball in my hands just made me start being an athlete.

1562
01:11:52,280 --> 01:11:54,679
Speaker 19: And the running came naturally, and it was something funny,

1563
01:11:54,680 --> 01:11:56,120
Speaker 19: you know, kick it around, go and chase.

1564
01:11:56,160 --> 01:11:57,599
Speaker 3: It just kind of like a dog and a ball.

1565
01:11:57,840 --> 01:12:01,920
Speaker 19: Yeah, yeah, exactly, and just makes me, you know, move

1566
01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:04,320
Speaker 19: and cut and kind of squad to kind of scoop.

1567
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:07,920
Speaker 19: It makes my ankle and everything working different ways that

1568
01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:09,680
Speaker 19: I was great for, you know, getting back from the

1569
01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:11,400
Speaker 19: swing of things that I've just carried it over now

1570
01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:13,600
Speaker 19: to my little pregame warm up and gets me my.

1571
01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:15,719
Speaker 7: Muscles going a little bit, and it makes me feel.

1572
01:12:15,479 --> 01:12:16,920
Speaker 4: Like an athlete, so do you.

1573
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:18,880
Speaker 3: I would imagine in season it's a little bit tougher,

1574
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:20,800
Speaker 3: but I know some of the rugby league. Are you

1575
01:12:20,840 --> 01:12:23,160
Speaker 3: a rugby union or rugby league guy? I'm a rugby

1576
01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:23,639

1579

Speaker 4: As a kid.

1581
01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:34,360
Speaker 7: There's a lot of running and lost space and for

1582
01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:35,439
Speaker 7: a big guy was not friendly.

1583
01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:38,200
Speaker 19: But I played a lot of rugby union and still

1584
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:40,040

1623
01:13:57,600 --> 01:13:59,080
Speaker 19: But you know, when you're playing, I was probably like

1624
01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:01,439
Speaker 19: seven or eight and there's like fourteen year old didn't

1625

Speaker 19: My dad played second row and eight and he kind

1630
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:13,240
Speaker 19: of every once in a while maybe prop, but you

1631
01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:14,439
Speaker 19: know he was more of a second row.

1632
01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:14,720
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1633
01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:17,160
Speaker 3: It was a hooker there. Yeah, and now his shoulders

1634
01:14:17,160 --> 01:14:19,600
Speaker 3: are oh I can't imagine. Yeah, shock a lot of

1635
01:14:19,640 --> 01:14:22,599
Speaker 3: overhead completely shot, Yeah, completely shot. What did you What

1636
01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:23,040
Speaker 3: did you say?

1637
01:14:23,360 --> 01:14:24,760
Speaker 7: I played a and fly half?

1638
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:25,960
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, fly half.

1639
01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:28,080
Speaker 19: Yeah, when I played up when I was a little kid,

1640
01:14:28,160 --> 01:14:28,920
Speaker 19: I had to play fives.

1641
01:14:28,920 --> 01:14:29,599
Speaker 7: I was a little quicker.

1642
01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:31,920
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's big. So is that something that you

1643
01:14:31,960 --> 01:14:34,080
Speaker 3: want to do post careers? Get back in the mix?

1644
01:14:34,240 --> 01:14:36,160
Speaker 7: Maybe you know, see how much treads left on the tires?

1645
01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:37,880
Speaker 7: I see if I can give it another go?

1646
01:14:38,439 --> 01:14:41,439
Speaker 3: Do people? Do you think people understand? You know, you're

1647
01:14:41,439 --> 01:14:44,519
Speaker 3: playing football and it is a physical, physical game, but

1648
01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:47,000
Speaker 3: you guys get to wear pads and helmets. Yeah, like

1649
01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:50,080
Speaker 3: rugby is a very physical game and it's you.

1650
01:14:50,439 --> 01:14:50,639
Speaker 12: Yeah.

1651
01:14:50,760 --> 01:14:53,360
Speaker 19: No, I mean it is definitely two different sports to

1652
01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:55,880
Speaker 19: at least. And I always say, you know, football you

1653
01:14:55,920 --> 01:14:58,519
Speaker 19: feel more protected, so you hit a little harder it

1654
01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:00,760
Speaker 19: whereas his rugby you kind of protect yourself when you tackle.

1655
01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:02,360
Speaker 19: You know, there's a lot more technique to it, a

1656
01:15:02,360 --> 01:15:04,280
Speaker 19: lot more kind of give with that when you make

1657
01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:06,600
Speaker 19: contact and you don't use your head really, you go

1658
01:15:06,680 --> 01:15:08,400
Speaker 19: cheek the cheek and you try to wrap and roll

1659
01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:11,360
Speaker 19: as best you can. And it's a different sport altogether,

1660
01:15:11,400 --> 01:15:13,760
Speaker 19: and it's definitely, you know, playing rugby growing up in

1661
01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:15,920
Speaker 19: transition to football as I got older, definitely taught me

1662
01:15:15,960 --> 01:15:17,960
Speaker 19: some fundamentals that to this day I still use.

1663
01:15:18,200 --> 01:15:20,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you never cross pass with a Scottish hammer.

1664
01:15:20,360 --> 01:15:22,600
Speaker 3: He's now the punter for the Giants, but he was

1665
01:15:22,640 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 3: a big yeah. Yeah. He would sometimes have some real

1666
01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:27,960
Speaker 3: nice hits on you know, return or something or punt

1667
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:30,320
Speaker 3: return because he was he was a rugby guy. He

1668
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:32,759
Speaker 3: was all right, So you say you love pizza from Jersey,

1669
01:15:32,840 --> 01:15:34,439
Speaker 3: of course, I mean so it's in the blood. So

01:15:34,520 --> 01:15:37,320

Speaker 3: what's your what's your ghost?

1672
01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:40,240
Speaker 7: You're gonna get me in trouble here?

1673
01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:43,080
Speaker 3: Well yeah, he subjective.

1674
01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:44,960

01:15:55,479 --> 01:15:57,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's all my favorite.

1681
01:15:57,280 --> 01:15:58,840
Speaker 3: I don't there's anything wrong with it, No, no at all.

1682
01:15:58,920 --> 01:16:01,200
Speaker 7: I just get judged very back home. It's like it's

1683
01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:02,720
Speaker 7: a crime to say yeah.

1684
01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:04,920
Speaker 3: I always say it taste is subjective. Like if I'm

Speaker 3: having you to whatever pizza you want, I eat this pizza.

1686
01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:08,519
Speaker 3: There's enough pizza free.

1687
01:16:08,600 --> 01:16:09,960
Speaker 7: I always say, if you don't try it, you can't

1688
01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:10,800
Speaker 7: hate it, you know.

1689
01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:14,400
Speaker 3: I had it so I in college, I went to

1690
01:16:14,439 --> 01:16:17,599
Speaker 3: Emory in Atlanta, and Emory in Atlanta, we had it

1691
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:19,040
Speaker 3: was called the Emory Card, and that's where kind of

1692
01:16:19,080 --> 01:16:22,880
Speaker 3: like your funds were for the year. The dominoes off

1693
01:16:22,920 --> 01:16:24,680
Speaker 3: of campus, which at the time, this is back in

1694
01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:26,880
Speaker 3: the right to date myself, I'm an old man, but

1695
01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:29,439
Speaker 3: was the number one grossing dominoes in the country because

1696
01:16:29,439 --> 01:16:31,479
Speaker 3: everybody there would just be or you'd use your money

1697
01:16:31,600 --> 01:16:34,559
Speaker 3: to get by. So we would try. We tried everything

1698
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:37,040
Speaker 3: under the sun. I ended up liking, like my go

1699
01:16:37,080 --> 01:16:39,000
Speaker 3: to was Pepperoni and mushroom, Like, no doubt, that is

1700
01:16:39,080 --> 01:16:41,439
Speaker 3: my standard. That's how I would judge a pizza place.

1701
01:16:41,640 --> 01:16:43,559
Speaker 3: But I like obviously Hawaiian. But then we would get

1702
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:45,920
Speaker 3: into a pepperoni in Pineapple, which I thought was a

1703
01:16:46,040 --> 01:16:46,839
Speaker 3: very nice.

1704
01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:47,160
Speaker 4: Really good.

1705
01:16:47,200 --> 01:16:49,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a nice You might have to all that.

1706
01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:51,519
Speaker 7: I have to slide that in every once in a while.

1707
01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:52,240
Speaker 7: That sounds really good.

1708
01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:55,519
Speaker 3: Have you word you have you found a pizza place here, yeah, Rion, Yeah,

01:17:11,520 --> 01:17:13,679
Speaker 7: Good cross. It is by far my favorite place.

1717
01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:15,400
Speaker 3: I even think when you're in there, you feel like,

1718
01:17:15,479 --> 01:17:16,000

1721
01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:22,240
Speaker 3: M I try doing the off season.

1722
01:17:22,280 --> 01:17:23,120
Speaker 7: I'll say a lot more.

1723
01:17:23,280 --> 01:17:25,800
Speaker 19: I saw friends and family all there, so it's always

1724
01:17:25,880 --> 01:17:26,519
Speaker 19: nice to go back.

1725
01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:28,400
Speaker 7: But I have pretty much a forty.

1726
01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:28,960
Speaker 3: Hour r when I'm there.

1727
01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:31,400
Speaker 19: It's great for the first forty eight hours to see everybody,

1728
01:17:31,479 --> 01:17:33,559
Speaker 19: and then like Vegas, yeah exactly, and then you know,

1729
01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:35,639
Speaker 19: the minute I start sitting in about an hour traffic,

1730
01:17:35,680 --> 01:17:36,400
Speaker 19: I'm I'm ready to.

1731
01:17:36,680 --> 01:17:38,559
Speaker 3: I'm ready to go back. Yeah, you've been in an

1732
01:17:38,560 --> 01:17:39,599
Speaker 3: Ohio guy for a while.

1733
01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:42,240
Speaker 19: Yeah, no, almost yeah, almost over half a decade now,

1734
01:17:42,280 --> 01:17:44,320
Speaker 19: so it's been been a while and I love it.

1735
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:47,600
Speaker 3: So where is this game gonna rank in terms of

1736
01:17:47,720 --> 01:17:49,920
Speaker 3: your your all time cold games?

1737
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:53,160
Speaker 19: I'll tell you after the game, we'll find out. Okay,

1738
01:17:53,280 --> 01:17:55,519
Speaker 19: I hope the weather forecast is wrong a little bit.

1739
01:17:55,400 --> 01:17:57,960
Speaker 3: But if it's like wind chills, then and be cold.

1740
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:00,000
Speaker 19: I think the last time I was in Chicago played Northwestern,

1741
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:02,200
Speaker 19: I know it was like sideways rain. It's one of

1742
01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:03,960
Speaker 19: those games where I think there's a clip where we

1743
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:05,600
Speaker 19: kicked the field on the ball just like stop the

1744
01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:07,560
Speaker 19: mid air and started going backwards.

1745
01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:08,559
Speaker 7: So that one's up there.

1746
01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:11,080
Speaker 19: So you know, I have a soft spot for Chicago

1747
01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:12,240
Speaker 19: weathers say the least.

1748
01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:15,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, So this is a game now, and unfortunately for us,

1749
01:18:15,880 --> 01:18:17,479
Speaker 3: we know that, you know, our season in terms of

1750
01:18:17,479 --> 01:18:20,639
Speaker 3: the postseason is not it is over at this point.

1751
01:18:20,720 --> 01:18:23,000
Speaker 3: But there's obviously a lot to play for and people

1752
01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:25,240
Speaker 3: are playing for their jobs, for their roles and to say,

1753
01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:26,120
Speaker 3: you know, I want to be a part of this

1754
01:18:26,240 --> 01:18:29,040
Speaker 3: solution here in Cleveland. But you're going against teams now

1755
01:18:29,040 --> 01:18:30,920
Speaker 3: the next few weeks that are played that are very

1756
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:33,360
Speaker 3: much in the mix, like, for example, the Bears, if

1757
01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:34,880
Speaker 3: they win this game versus they lose, I think it's

1758
01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:37,120
Speaker 3: a thirty percent swing in their playoff probability. Then you're

1759
01:18:37,160 --> 01:18:38,920
Speaker 3: gonna have the Bills. Then you're gonna have the Steelers.

1760
01:18:39,120 --> 01:18:41,080
Speaker 3: Is that fun to get back into kind of when

1761
01:18:41,120 --> 01:18:43,240
Speaker 3: you know you're getting the absolute best from the people

1762
01:18:43,320 --> 01:18:46,160
Speaker 3: across from you, and there are stakes, even though people

1763
01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:47,679
Speaker 3: might not, there are huge stakes.

1764
01:18:47,720 --> 01:18:49,840
Speaker 19: Yeah, No, I mean for us, there's huge stakes. I

1765
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:52,559
Speaker 19: think everyone out there playing, I mean this is just

1766
01:18:52,560 --> 01:18:54,519
Speaker 19: a great opportunity to go and play some football and

1767
01:18:54,640 --> 01:18:56,600
Speaker 19: win the game. And I think that's our objective and

1768
01:18:56,600 --> 01:18:59,000
Speaker 19: our motive and no matter what they're playing for, we're

1769
01:18:59,000 --> 01:18:59,760
Speaker 19: playing for the same thing.

1770
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:00,920
Speaker 7: Even go out there and win.

1771
01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:03,160
Speaker 19: So yeah, you know what they're playing for has no

1772
01:19:03,640 --> 01:19:04,920
Speaker 19: you know, no thought of mine.

1773
01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:06,040
Speaker 7: I just want to go out there and try to

1774
01:19:06,040 --> 01:19:06,320
Speaker 7: get a.

1775
01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:08,439
Speaker 3: Win, absolutely, And for you, kind of what goals have

1776
01:19:08,560 --> 01:19:10,800
Speaker 3: you set for yourself here? You've got four games you

1777
01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:12,320
Speaker 3: know to kind of start to close that will be

1778
01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:14,640
Speaker 3: the first time gotten to happen, that opportunity to go

1779
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:17,000
Speaker 3: for in a row. Yeah, what's what are your goals

1780
01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:17,519
Speaker 3: for yourself?

1781
01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:20,040
Speaker 19: You know, go and try to play some winning football.

1782
01:19:20,080 --> 01:19:22,439
Speaker 19: I think that is as a team. That is my

1783
01:19:22,520 --> 01:19:24,840
Speaker 19: main goal, and you know it takes everyone to go

1784
01:19:24,920 --> 01:19:27,479
Speaker 19: do that. And I'm really excited to get the opportunity.

1785
01:19:27,160 --> 01:19:29,000
Speaker 3: When you kind of have watched on tape and stuff,

1786
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:30,880
Speaker 3: because you know we've got a great Ohio State buck

1787
01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:33,160
Speaker 3: guy running back behind you and quinch On Judkins. You know,

1788
01:19:33,200 --> 01:19:34,400
Speaker 3: what do we have to do to get him a

1789
01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:36,880
Speaker 3: little bit more breathing room as it were?

1790
01:19:37,160 --> 01:19:38,320
Speaker 7: I mean, cus a great back.

1791
01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:39,720
Speaker 19: I mean you saw what he was able to do

1792
01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:42,320
Speaker 19: down in Columbus and now pretty much all this year.

1793
01:19:42,960 --> 01:19:44,960
Speaker 19: The momentum he's carried throughout the year and the way

1794
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:47,960
Speaker 19: he runs the ball is exciting. And for us, we're

1795
01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:50,000
Speaker 19: trying to give him the most space make a play.

1796
01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:52,479
Speaker 19: And I think the more you know, we get in

1797
01:19:52,520 --> 01:19:54,080
Speaker 19: there and be able to get our hat on the hat,

1798
01:19:54,320 --> 01:19:55,960
Speaker 19: he's going to make some big ones break.

1799
01:19:56,040 --> 01:19:58,040
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's what we certainly want to see. What

1800
01:19:58,080 --> 01:20:00,360
Speaker 3: can you learn from a quarterback just by being in

1801
01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:01,080
Speaker 3: the huddle with him?

1802
01:20:01,760 --> 01:20:03,759
Speaker 19: You know, it's cadence, the way he says a play,

1803
01:20:04,360 --> 01:20:06,880
Speaker 19: all that kind of stuff, you know, just the little

1804
01:20:06,880 --> 01:20:10,520
Speaker 19: things that ear picks up and every second, every word

1805
01:20:10,800 --> 01:20:11,439
Speaker 19: really counts.

1806
01:20:11,560 --> 01:20:13,040
Speaker 3: What was it like being in there kind of because

1807
01:20:13,040 --> 01:20:15,160
Speaker 3: you came in right when it was like it's go time, Right,

1808
01:20:15,200 --> 01:20:17,040
Speaker 3: we're going up and down the field here. What was

1809
01:20:17,080 --> 01:20:18,679
Speaker 3: it like being in there with Shador and finally getting

1810
01:20:18,720 --> 01:20:20,160
Speaker 3: to really get a sense of how he operates?

1811
01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:21,720
Speaker 19: Yeah, you know, it's kind of cool, you know, for

1812
01:20:21,800 --> 01:20:23,920
Speaker 19: the preseason being with him, to now see the way

1813
01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:26,439
Speaker 19: he's grown and as an operator on the field, the

1814
01:20:26,439 --> 01:20:28,200
Speaker 19: way he's able to handle the offense and get us

1815
01:20:28,200 --> 01:20:30,679
Speaker 19: all to the right plays and the right checks. He's

1816
01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:33,040
Speaker 19: done a great job being able to handle everything, and

1817
01:20:33,080 --> 01:20:35,000
Speaker 19: I'm just excited to see how he grows game by game.

1818
01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:38,519
Speaker 3: If you were it's still at Ohio State. With now

1819
01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:42,240
Speaker 3: the way that this playoff has expanded, you got big

1820
01:20:42,280 --> 01:20:46,120
Speaker 3: ten championship games that really don't really mean anything. How

1821
01:20:46,160 --> 01:20:48,200
Speaker 3: would you have kind of thought about this whole the

1822
01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:50,799
Speaker 3: way the playoff has changed and everything as a player.

1823
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:52,679
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I think it's great for the sport.

1824
01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:55,000
Speaker 19: Anytime you can get these marquee matchups with the best

1825
01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:56,840
Speaker 19: teams in the country to play against each other, I

1826
01:20:56,880 --> 01:20:59,280
Speaker 19: think it's great television and I'm really excited to see

1827
01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:00,559
Speaker 19: if the Buckeyes are to do this year.

1828
01:21:00,560 --> 01:21:01,479
Speaker 7: Hopefully we go back to.

1829
01:21:01,439 --> 01:21:04,799
Speaker 3: Back, don't you feel like it? It has to be

1830
01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:07,400
Speaker 3: that when you're a team that's got and I know

1831
01:21:07,520 --> 01:21:09,120
Speaker 3: some of these guys aren't going to be eligible, but

1832
01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:10,800
Speaker 3: if you're a team that's got guys, if you were

1833
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:14,080
Speaker 3: to say everybody's eligible, they've got probably what six maybe

1834
01:21:14,120 --> 01:21:16,160
Speaker 3: seven of the top twenty picks in the draft coming up.

1835
01:21:16,120 --> 01:21:18,799
Speaker 19: So you know they are very, very talented all across

1836
01:21:18,800 --> 01:21:21,320
Speaker 19: the board. So you know, it starts in the trenches.

Speaker 3: line against team that loves to run the ball. That

1890

1907
01:24:56,920 --> 01:25:00,360

1951

01:27:10,880 --> 01:27:11,720

1954
01:27:12,640 --> 01:27:15,800

1963
01:27:47,040 --> 01:27:48,600

1964
01:27:48,680 --> 01:27:52,000
Speaker 3: but like, my pants are going to be Red Vanley

1969
01:28:07,240 --> 01:28:09,479
Speaker 3: I like that. I don't Bacon on pizza is not

1970

Speaker 3: it every now and then, but I'm not like a

1972
01:28:15,880 --> 01:28:18,439
Speaker 3: bacon aficionado. I like the idea of throwing a kolapenno

1973
01:28:18,479 --> 01:28:19,760
Speaker 3: on there, and just so you know, I have done

1974
01:28:19,760 --> 01:28:23,479
Speaker 3: that many times. A pineapple, pepperoni, pineapple and volopeno. That

1975
01:28:23,520 --> 01:28:24,800
Speaker 3: was one of my sables. We used to get the

1976
01:28:24,840 --> 01:28:28,400
Speaker 3: Domino super thin crust and it was almost like a

1977
01:28:28,479 --> 01:28:29,439
Speaker 3: cracker on the bottom.

1978
01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:32,200

1979
01:28:33,680 --> 01:28:35,360
Speaker 4: I like the original. Give me the original when you

01:28:35,400 --> 01:28:35,960
Speaker 4: were going.

1981
01:28:35,800 --> 01:28:38,120
Speaker 3: Through dominoes at the rate that we were because we

1982
01:28:38,160 --> 01:28:41,200
Speaker 3: had a guy in our frattorney whose card had a

1983
01:28:41,200 --> 01:28:43,200
Speaker 3: glitch on it, so it was really kind of unlimited.

1984
01:28:43,880 --> 01:28:46,840
Speaker 3: So we we had every We had every pizza you

1985
01:28:46,880 --> 01:28:47,719
Speaker 3: could ever imagine.

1986
01:28:48,160 --> 01:28:50,320
Speaker 4: So many questions, but I don't think we should talk

1987
01:28:50,320 --> 01:28:52,599
Speaker 4: about that on the air. Yeah, love a dog today,

1988
01:28:52,720 --> 01:28:55,639
