Speaker 1: Browns for his third consecutive season after initially joining the

00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: team as an undrestricted free agent in twenty twenty one.

17
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: He led the Browns and tackles that year. Last year,

18
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: has voted a team captain and started the first three

19
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: games before that quad injury against the Steelers on Thursday

20
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: night force to miss the remainder of the season Walker

21
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: in his career seventy three games, sixty three starts, four

22
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty three tackles, four point five sacks, three interceptions,

23
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: two fumble recoveries and a forced fumble as well, and

24
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: not to mention great player on the field, great guy

25
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: off the field, and we're gonna be talking with him

26
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: in just a second in here. But give a owners

27
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: meetings yesterday and we'll talk about this more later down

28
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: in at the biltmore down in Arizona. Our owners talked

29
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: a lot yesterday about the new stadium, what that might

30
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 1: look like, renovating the downtown area there. They talked about

31
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. They talked about the direction of this football team.

32
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: I thought it was a very newsworthy meeting that they

33
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: had with the media and some interesting stuff. It sounds

34
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: like right now those who are saying there's no place

35
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: like Dome, it doesn't sound positive on that front. But

36
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: it also wasn't a definite no, but it did feel

37
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: like that's going to be a little bit a tougher

38
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: task going forward. Yeah, I mean a lot can happen.

39
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: I think they're still looking into all their options, is

40
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: what it sounds like. They're doing their due diligence. I

41
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: mean last week you were out on Friday. Denver's doing

42
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: the same thing, sending questionnaires to their season ticket holders

43
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: and doing as much work as they can to determine

44
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: what direction they might want to go. And I think

45
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: the Haslums, to their credit and to the people in

46
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: this building that run the show on a daily basis,

47
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: everybody's doing their due diligence to make sure they get

48
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: it right and make sure that whatever option is the

49
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: best option is the one that you know, gives us

50
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: what we need. Yeah, I think that you look at

51
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: you know, from a stadium standpoint, the best option obviously

52
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 1: would be to have a dome. I mean I think

53
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: from a city standpoint, from an event standpoint, from all

54
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: the things that you can have. Look at Senior Swag

55
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: coming in here. It's just kind of like a little

56
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: bit of pink. He's got the Travis Scotts on. It's

57
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: just Wednesday. Stop it. He won't stop it. A dome

58
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: is in isolation. If everything else was being equal, that's

59
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: what you would want to have. But everything is not equal.

60
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: The costs associated with it, the difficulties associated with and

61
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: all of that. But let's go to something that is

62
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: a wonderful thing and that is a done deal, and

63
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: that's Anthony Walker Jr. Back on the Cleveland Browns. He

64
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: joins the show now via the Twisted Tea Hotline, brought

65
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,960

68
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: thrilled to have you back here with the Cleveland Browns.

69
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,120

71
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: in Cleveland. You know, like you said, a lot of

72
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: unfinished business to take care of, and I'm happy to

73
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: be back. Well, we're happy to have you. Let's before

74
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: we kind of get into the whole journey that led

75
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: to this moment, I do want to ask you, you know,

76
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 1: what did it mean to you to see so many

77
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: of your teammates take to social media and basically demand

78
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: that you were back, say we need a walk back

79
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: the love that you got from your teammates, because you know,

80
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: I remember Jacoby Brissett, you know, last year saying something

81
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 1: that really struck me, and he said at the end

82
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,239
Speaker 1: of the day. In this business, of course, you want

83
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: to win. But the one thing that you hope to

84
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: earn and that can never be taken away from you,

85
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: is the respect of your peers. And you, sir, most

86
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: certainly have the respect of your peers. Yeah, I think

87
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: you just hit it, Um, the respect of your peers. Uh,

88
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: you know, I think that's the you know, obviously, you

89
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: want to win, you want to win Super Bowls. You

90
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 1: want to you know, be the best player that you

91
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: can be, obviously, and that's what comes with you know,

92
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: the game. Um. But you also, like you said, the

93
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: respect of your peers. In respect of your teammates. Um.

94
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: You know, you know I always tell people, you know,

95
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 1: super Bowl and being named the captain by your peers

96
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: is one of the you know, two greatest things you

97
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: know that could happen in this sport, um. And that's because,

98
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: like the like you said, the respect that you have

99
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 1: to earn, and that's a daily thing. UM. So I

100
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: take pride in that. I take pride in, you know,

101
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: showing up every day doing the little things right. And um,

102
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: you know it's great that my teammates, um see it

103
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: every day and they acknowledge it and you know, just

104
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: respect me enough to you know, want me back on

105
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: the team. Um. You know obviously, like you said, it's

106
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: just it's a process, like it's a business, and you know,

107
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: you got to go through certain loopholes and stuff to

108
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: get back to this point. But um, you know, I'm

109
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: always happy to be back with my guys and they're

110
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: happy to have you back. As it was clearly well documented.

111
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: What was what were some of the things that your

112
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: teammates reached out and said to you once it was

113
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: official that you were coming back. Yeah, well, um, I see,

114
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: I'm actually seeing Martin Emerson every day, so uh, he

115
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: was really static. Um he's in Miami, down in Miami

116
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: training with me. Um, so he was excited. Um. Obviously

117
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: Greg Knewsom you know somebody, uh you know really you know,

118
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: just i mean obviously going to the same college and

119
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: you know, spending so much time together here. Um, you know,

120
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: he was excited. And Jai ok Um, the annoying little brother,

121
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: that's my guy though. Man, he's uh, he was really

122
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: ecstatic as well. So um, you know, like you said,

123
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: just you know, the respected of your teammates to you know,

124
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 1: the respect of your peers. Um, and it really it

125
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: really showed in that moment. Yeah, even perry On was

126
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: out there, and you know, Perryon's a vocal guy in

127
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: his support of you. A young guy that I think

128
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: would do very well following in your footsteps of how

129
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: you approach the game. He's a very talented young man.

130
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: All Right, hey, walk let's talk about this last year

131
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: for you. You're I thought you were playing some of

132
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: the best football, if not the best football of your career.

133
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: Early on, the unfortunate injury comes you have to be

134
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: on the sidelines, but you were still so involved with

135
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: your team. Once you were able to even be out there,

136
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: able to stand again and be able to walk around.

137
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: You know, what was that year like for you personally?

138
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: First time that you've kind of gone through, at least

139
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: at this level, that kind of adversity being on the sidelines.

140
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: What did you learn about yourself? What did you learn

141
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: about your love of the game? Um, I think you

142
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: you know, you hit on the head. It goes back.

143
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: I mean in any level. This is the first time

144
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: I've had a season ending you know injury where I

145
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: missed you know, the last fourteen games of the season,

146
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: and um, that was tough. I learned a lot about

147
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: myself mentally, um, you know, especially those first couple of

148
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: days after surgery. Um, you know, one of some of

149
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: the hardest days of my life. UM. Just you know,

150
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: being in there after surgery, in the hotel room, just

151
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: like you know, watch like watching watching practice, watching tape,

152
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: like you know, I'm not out there, and didn't realize

153
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: that I'm not going to be out there for the

154
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: rest of the year. UM. You know it definitely it

155
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: humbled me a lot. Um you know, be able to

156
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: you know, obviously, like you said, playing some really good football, um,

157
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: you know, starting to come around as a team. I

158
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 1: thought that Pittsburgh game, you know, was kind of putting

159
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: us over that second, that next step in the right direction.

160
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: Um you know, and then you know, I get hurt,

161
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: and I just feel, you know, I felt like I

162
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: let the team down. Um. You know, I probably myself

163
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: on you know, being able to be durable and all

164
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: that stuff and take care of my body. UM, and

165
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: I wasn't able to do that, you know, and I

166
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: had to miss a full season. Um. So again, like

167
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: I said, a humble meet, but also gave me a

168
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: different perspective. You know, you sit back and you're able

169
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: to watch the game from a different view and you

170
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: kind of almost use it as a red shirt year

171
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: like in college. So, um, this is pretty much like

172
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: the second one I've had in the NFL outside of

173
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 1: my rookie year, UM, where I just got to sit

174
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: back and you know, watch the game a little bit. Um,

175
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: you know, just watch my teammates and listen to the

176
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: coaches and all that stuff, and get a different perspective

177
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: of the game. UM. Obviously, the love of the game,

178
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's there, you know, it's uh, but I

179
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 1: think you are passion for the game goes up a

180
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: little bit more because you're able to watch it from

181
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: a different point of view. Um. You know, I was

182
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 1: able to spend time and the offensive side of the

183
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: UM side of meetings, spend time with the quarterbacks and

184
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: coach Kevin and all that stuff, um, and just get

185
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: a different perspective. I appreciate them allowing me to do

186
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: that as well, UM, just to kind of, you know,

187
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,599
Speaker 1: evolve my game a little bit more. So. UM, that

188
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: was all cool and everything, But obviously, you rather be

189
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: playing at the end of the day. You play football,

190
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 1: you know, you'd rather be out there with your teammates

191
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: going through the us and downs of a season and

192
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully putting yourself in that position to help

193
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: your team win the Super Bowl. And I wasn't able

194
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 1: to do that last year. So to be able to

195
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: come back with these guys and uh, put that, you know,

196
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: put that year kind of behind me now and just

197
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: work on getting better, getting healthier, and you know, going

198
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: out there with my guys and you know, you know,

199
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: let's uh two ears to what happens. You know, you

200
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: have high expectations. That's just what it is. You know,

201
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: you want to win a super Bowl. That's not something

202
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: that you shy away from. You want to win a

203
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: super Bowl. You play this game to win, and uh,

204
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: that's that's our goal. That's always going to be our goal.

205
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: And you aim high and hopefully you get there and

206
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: then that's our that's our goal for this year. So

207
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: you know, let's just see what happens. Absolutely all right,

208
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: you dropped some awesome nuggets right there. So you got

209
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: to spend time in offensive meetings with Kevin Stefanski, and

210
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: I had imagined as a mic linebacker that was probably

211
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: pretty invaluable. What surprised you maybe in the way that

212
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: offenses go about their business and attacking a defense or

213
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: what's something that you learned that you think will really

214
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: help you on the field this year. Yeah. Well, um, obviously,

215
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: you know, Coach cav always likes to, uh, you know,

216
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: say some smart comments when I'm when I'm in the

217
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: in the media room stuff. When he'd always say like, oh,

218
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: number five is right there, we definitely throw that right there.

219
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: We're definitely running the ball right there. But um no,

220
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: just a different perspective, um, different viewpoint, if that makes sense.

221
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: You know, as a defensive player, you you know, you

222
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: try to you know, you want to assume where your

223
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: weakness is and obviously that's where the offense wants to attack.

224
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 1: But you know, when you you know, listening to the quarterbacks,

225
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: listening to DaShan and Jacobe Um and then coach cav

226
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: and a VP all those guys talk, um, you know,

227
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: you're understanding that they see the game very similar to you.

228
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: And you know, Okay, this is the coverage that they're in.

229
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: This is the weakness of the coverage. You know, let's

230
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: get our let's get our athletes the ball in space,

231
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: or let's get you know, how can we attack this

232
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: coverage or whatever. So the same thing that we're doing

233
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: on defense, Like, you know, we understand that this is

234
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: a courage that we're running. This is the weakness of it.

235
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: So the ball most likely is going to be going there.

236
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: You know, we have to be ready to attack before

237
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: they before they attacked us. And those are some great,

238
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: great meetings, man. I enjoyed that. It was really like

239
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: I been invaluable for me. I bet that was fun.

240
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: I bet it was great for them too, because they

241
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: in real time could say, Hey, if we come out

242
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: in this formation and do this shift you as the mic,

243
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: how are you reacting to that? You know? So I

244
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: bet the responsack and forth in that regard, yeah, no doubt,

245
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: you know, just like you said, just that that back

246
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: and forth, that that that football dialogue that you you know,

247
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: it's just invaluable. You you never take that for granted. Um.

248
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: I think that's one of the things that attracted me

249
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: to football. I think because at a very young age

250
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: my dad really was a big X and those guy

251
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: and I became the same way really fast. So to

252
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,080
Speaker 1: hear it at the elite level from one of the

253
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 1: best and uh coach kalv Um, it's really it's really special.

254
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: So we got two new guys, uh in the coordinator ranks,

255
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: one of whom you're very familiar with and the other

256
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: one I don't know as much. If there's any history

257
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: with you got you and Jim Schwartz, but I'm sure

258
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: you get no guys who have played for him. Obviously

259
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: spent some time in Tennessee. Uh, what is are your

260
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: first impressions of Jim Schwartz and how do you see

261
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: this defense evolving? Yeah, you know, anytime a coach, you know,

262
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: comes with the decorated career that he has, you have

263
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: nothing but respect for him and what he's going to

264
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: bring to the team. Um, you know, we understand that

265
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: we we we have a lot of we have a

266
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: lot of great pieces that or great pieces that we

267
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: that we had and that we've added. And but at

268
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: the end of the day, it doesn't matter if we

269
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: don't go out and execute the defense and you know,

270
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: do our job to help our team win. So at

271
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: the end of the day, I talked about Super Bowl

272
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 1: and Championship and we understand that defense is that defense

273
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: wins championships and we have to be on our p's

274
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: and ques. This year, you obviously were around Bubba Ventrone

275
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis. I got a chance. The first time that

276
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: I got to meet him, I wasn't with the Browns

277
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: yet when he his last year, I think we missed

278
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: each other by one season. What I loved talking with

279
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: him a guy who looks like he can still go

280
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: out there and play. But you know, what will he

281
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: bring to special teams, which is obviously a very valuable

282
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: piece of it. But you know, a former player, a

283
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: guy who played it in the league for a decade

284
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: because of what he's able to do on special teams

285
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: and now leading that unit somebody you knew from Indy. Yeah,

286
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: don't don't tell him that he looks like he can play.

287
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: He's definitely gonna take that to the bank. And you

288
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: know sell us that every day. So all right, I'll

289
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: keep that out of But no, man, because because Bubba

290
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: he's a great coach. Um. You know, obviously playing three

291
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: years with him in Indy, Um, you know the importance

292
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: of special teams and the way that they changed the game.

293
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: Um you talk about New England, Um, you know, and

294
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: how he was able to you know, play half such

295
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: a long career. But I mean, if you talk about

296
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: you know, winning way and you know the winning culture

297
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: that New England had, Um, I means that Kobe's always

298
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: messed around and say like, uh, you know, they didn't

299
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: always win games because Tom Brady. Don't get me wrong, now,

300
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: he won a lot of those games. But there are

301
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: a couple of games each year where the special teams

302
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: made made a play a block punt here, or kickoff

303
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: return touchdown or return touchdown, or you know, some plays

304
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: by the defense as well. So you put yourself in

305
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: a in a special position when you can win three

306
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: or four games, and you know, obviously in the playoffs

307
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: that comes down to it as well. But when you

308
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: can make a couple of plays, game changing, season changing

309
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: plays on special teams, and that's what Bubba brains um,

310
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: you know, known for having a very elite special teams unit,

311
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: very physical. Um let him tell you here, run through

312
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: a wall right now. I think he tried to tell

313
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: us a story when I was in India. I didn't

314
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: believe him, but you know, somebody from the Browns organization

315
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: kind of confirmed it that he it was the last

316
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: game of the season that he broke his finger and

317
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: he told him to cut it off so he can

318
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: go back in I told him. I thought he was

319
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: just joking, but I guess it was true. He's like

320
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: Ronnie Lott. Unbelievable story from Anthony Walker Junior. Our guests

321
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: right now, back with the browns ay walk. When you

322
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: when you're a linebacker and you see your team go

323
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: out and get a Dallvin Tomlinson, a three hundred twenty

324
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: plus pounder who can get after the quarterback, who can

325
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: play the run. What does that do for your unit

326
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: at the second level? Yeah, I think you you put

327
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: yourself in a position um to be to be very successful. Um.

328
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: You know that attacking style that coach Shorts like to run. Um.

329
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: You add the pieces that we had that we've added. Um.

330
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: Like you said, you talked about a guy like dt

331
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: Um obviously a guy that we had like Miles and

332
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: uh double O seven is what he called calling himself

333
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: with new number seven. Now like that some good pieces.

334
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: You you know you got the linebacker room. You know

335
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: we're we got we still have some you know, work

336
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: to do in there as far as us getting ourselves right.

337
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: You know a lot of guys coming back from injury. UM,

338
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: and we have to take that next step as a unit.

339
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: And that starts with me ourself as well, um, you know,

340
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 1: taking that next step. Um, you know, as a as

341
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: a player, as a leader, and all that stuff. So UM,

342
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,479
Speaker 1: I think we put ourselves in a good position though,

343
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: And I think with that distance, like like you said,

344
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: we added all that stuff. It sounds really really great,

345
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 1: it looks really really great. Um, But at the end

346
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 1: of the day, we got to put the work in

347
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: as a unit, as a team, um, each each position group,

348
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: we all got to put the work in and um,

349
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: you know, and when and that when that time come, um,

350
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: and we got to be ready to go. Um. I

351
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 1: think we put ourselves, Like I said, we put ourselves

352
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: in a good position, you know, on both sides of

353
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: the ball, um, you know, offensive, defensively, special teams. I

354
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: think we've added some great pieces, but we still got

355
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: to go out there and get it done. And um,

356
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of my focus right now. I love

357
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: the pieces, don't get me wrong, But the work has

358
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: to be done. The work's got to be done, and

359
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,479
Speaker 1: then the key is the execution and part of that

360
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 1: is being sound. And you know, last year we had

361
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: a problem with that, right, we had a problem with

362
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: being sound. And I think it became even more exacerbated

363
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: when you went out of the lineup. But you know,

364
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: when you think about your defense as an Indie, which

365
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,719
Speaker 1: were some of the best in the league at that time,

366
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 1: they were just sound. How do we get this defense

367
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: to be more sound? And I know that's something I'm

368
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: sure Jim Schwartz is gonna work on and you and

369
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: all the guys are going to take accountability to get

370
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: to get tidied up. But you know, if we can

371
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: eliminate what you'd call kind of you know, those catastrophic mistakes,

372
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: this has got a chance to be a very very

373
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: special defense. Yeah, I think any every team goes in

374
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: and the season and before every game it says we're

375
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 1: not going to beat ourselves, you know, and that's the

376
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: ultimate I mean, at the end of the day, it's

377
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 1: hard enough to go. I remember, you know, Coase Frank

378
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: saying that if you if you, if you don't beat

379
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 1: yourself and you don't you know, turn the ball over,

380
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: you don't get penalties and all that stuff, you give

381
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: yourself a good shot to go eight and eight, right,

382
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: And this was when the sixteen game season. You give

383
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: yourself a shot to go eight and eight. And then

384
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: if you make some plays and all that. Now, you

385
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: guys started to beat tennis six eleven and five and

386
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: all that stuff. So you don't want to beat yourself

387
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: because when that's you lose games already, you know, and

388
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: the most teams in the NFL, you don't really win

389
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: the game. You just you lose games before you win them.

390
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: You know, you don't want to do that. So defensively,

391
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,239
Speaker 1: we got to be sounding everything that we do, and

392
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: that's tackling. That's the fundamentals of the game. That's tackling,

393
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 1: not jumping off side, being in the purpose spot for

394
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: coverage and all that stuff, and just make plays. I

395
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 1: think we have the the guys to make plays now

396
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: is just doing it every time and being fundamentally sound.

397
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: And then's the NFL guys are gonna make plays on

398
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: us as well. But I think if we can do it,

399
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 1: you know, better than we have in the past. Um,

400
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: I think we have a chance to be an elite defense.

401
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: But again it starts with not beating ourselves. How are

402
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 1: you physically? Are you ready to go? Are you gonna

403
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: be able to do the whole offseason program? We'll see,

404
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: I'm turning in the right direction. You know we'll see

405
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: the plan that you know the training staff has for

406
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: me as far as getting ready to go. But at

407
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: the end of the day, you know we want to

408
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,959
Speaker 1: be ready to go in September, so um, you know,

409
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: but I will be full go for training camp for sure.

410
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: Perfect dude, A walk. It is always a pleasure to

411
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: see you enjoy your time down in Miami training. Give

412
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 1: m Jammerson our regards as well, and just fantastic news

413
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: that you are back with the Browns. In many ways,

414
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: you feel like the heart and soul of that side

415
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: of the football. And you could tell from the respect

416
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 1: of your teammates the respect of our fans. You know

417
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 1: that everybody has thrilled that you're at Cleveland Brown once again.

418
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: So concrats welcome back and can't wait to see it

419
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 1: back out on the field and making plays that hopefully

420
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: can lead this team, like you said, to the playoffs,

421
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl to winning the ultimate prize in

422
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: the sport, No no doubt. MC guardpre said, you guys

423
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: having me, you got it man. The great Anthony Walker

424
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: Junior Brown's linebacker back for year three and I think

425
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 1: an important signing the Browns made a lot of you

426
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,880
Speaker 1: know what I would call re signings in this free

427
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: agency period postic a walk taki taki. I think they're

428
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: all important, and I love getting a walk back just

429
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: I think a leader on the deef. I think you

430
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: saw how much it hurt our defense when he was

431
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: out last year. I know that he's working his butt

432
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: off to get back, and I think it's gonna be it.

433
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: It's exciting to have him back. I think that I

434
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: speak for all Bronze fans when I say we're all

435
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: happy that Anthony Walker Jr. Is backbe because he's a

436
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: guy that he does it the right way every single time.

437
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: He's a good leader, he's accountable, he plays hard, and

438
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: he plays well. He was one of the highest graded

439
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: linebackers in football prior to his injury last year, and

440
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:25,959
Speaker 1: it's just I think it was very unfortunate for him

441
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: and also then for the Cleveland Browns when he went down.

442
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: I will not forget last year. He goes down and

443
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: on Monday you said it on this show, like not

444
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 1: sure this team can overcome this loss. This is gonna

445
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 1: be one of the toughest injuries to overcome because what

446
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: he means to the team in the locker room. Yeah,

447
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 1: and on the football field, Yeah, it's true. And I

448
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: think that you know, he talked about, you know, his

449
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: annoying little brother, Jeremia Husu Coumoa. It took Jok a

450
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: few games and in fact really more until kind of

451
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: like Dion Jones got in the mix for him to

452
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: get his level of playback up, because they was so

453
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: instrumental in helping him see the right things when they

454
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 1: were on the field together. But I think it's great

455
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: that Anthony Walker Junior is back. It sounds like, you know,

456
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: for sure full go for training camp. We'll see about

457
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 1: the offseason. Look, get the guy ready for September. That's

458
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: what I care about. We need him when we're playing games.

459
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 1: But you know, for Jason Tarver to have that room

460
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: back is a certainly a pretty cool thing there for

Speaker 1: Walker Junior on to open the show. If you missed it,

482
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: check it out. I thought it was pretty cool. First

483
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: time that I think I've ever seen that this or

484
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 1: heard that he was able to sit in on offensive

485
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 1: meetings learn more about that side of the ball, so

486
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: give some real time feedback to them from a defensive

487
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: linebacker's perspective. I thought that was pretty cool. I thought

488
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: that was really eye opening. Yeah, And I mean I

489
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: don't know if it was because he was hurt or not,

490
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 1: but I mean players crave information. I mean, it's it's

491
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,679
Speaker 1: it's why you have the analytics, it's why you know,

492
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 1: you watch and study tape, you look for every advantage

493
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: that you can get, and why not and why not

494
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: sit in on some of the offensive meetings. I don't

495
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: think it's a bad thing at all. Like the more

496
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: both sides can know about one another, the better prepared

497
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 1: you'll be when you face another team exactly. And I

498
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 1: just think I thought it was very cool to hear

499
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: that and to get to learn that. I still think,

500
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: you know, you look at this defense, I think the

501
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: strength is the cornerback room. I like the secondary in general.

502
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: I think the starting five, to your point, is very

503
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: good there. But you got Miles Now, you got Dalvin Thompson,

504
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 1: You've got double O seven up front, and you've got

505
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 1: a complete linebacker room that if you don't lose four

506
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: of them is going to be in good shape even

507
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: if there is an injury or two. I think this

508
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 1: defense has a chance to be very good. So I

509
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: talked to him about being sound. Why this team, if

510
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 1: they are sound, we are going to be tough to beat.

511
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: If we do not give up easy chunk plays, we're

512
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: gonna be We're gonna be tough or be tough to

513
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 1: move the football on because we should be stouter against

514
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: the run. We can cover, and we can get out

515
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: of the quarterback. And that's those are the three ingredients, absolutely,

516
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: And I think that defensively, Remember last year at this time,

517
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: everybody kept saying they're gonna be the best defense, like

518
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 1: they're they're one of the top NFL defenses. There's not

519
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: that rhetoric right now. It's a show me to take

520
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: a page out of my book. You gotta show me.

521
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: And well, I mean, I think everybody in that locker

522
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: room on that side of the ball knows that and

523
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,439
Speaker 1: understands that. I think that's fair and I think that

524
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: right if this team wants to do what we all

525
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: want it to do, it's not going to be just that.

526
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson has recaptured the form of how good he

527
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: was when he was with Houston Texan and the glimpses

528
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 1: that we saw in those six games last year, it's

529
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 1: that we're a complete football team that they are going

530
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: to be games where our offense is going to be

531
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: in a shootout. There'll be games where the offense, you know,

532
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,479
Speaker 1: needs a defense come up with a stop here or there,

533
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 1: and they do. There'll be games with the defense. Wednesday

534
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: talked about New England games where special teams with Bubba Ventrone,

535
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: they make a play that helps us win it. So

536
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: this is we have a chance to be a very

537
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,199
Speaker 1: complete football team, and a walk I think really hit

538
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: the nail on the head your correct, Gibbites. Is my

539
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: last day this week. I head to la for Russell

540
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: Mania tomorrow. What's the weather like? They're terrible right now,

541
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: rainy everywhere. My one buddy just got back from Vegas.

542
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: He said it was thirty six degrees when he took

543
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 1: off on Monday morning. So while we're there, like tomorrow,

544
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 1: it's going to rain in the morning, but then be

545
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 1: nice in the afternoon. Hopefully get to chase a small

546
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: ball around with my guy. And then Friday, Saturday, Sunday

547
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: or sunny, no rain, and then Monday sunny and maybe

548
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: a little bit of maybe a little bit of rain there,

549
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: but we have like the whole day and then we're

550
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: taking you know the Red Eyebacks. We'll have Monday to

551
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: go out there. I think Miss Kay wants us to

552
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: go to Sir, which is the restaurant on from Vanderpump Rules,

553
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 1: to see if we can see any shenanigans. I mean,

554
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: all right, why not. If you're coming to see some wrestling,

555
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 1: you get them. You get to call some shots as well.

556
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: So will you be ringside? Will we see you ringside?

557
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: I don't believe. So, I don't believe. So not this

558
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 1: here because Mike. That would happen if if miss had

559
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: a match, but he does not have him. He's he's

560
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: the host of WrestleMania. So maybe there's a segment that

561
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: we might get to go down there for. But my

562
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 1: guess is probably not. Okay, what what do you mean

563
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 1: by he's the host? He's the host of WrestleMania. That's

564
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,400
Speaker 1: kind of the role that they have that they've put

565
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: him in. He's the wrestle the host. So he'll come

566
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: come out. I'm sure he'll be the first person to

567
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: come out and introduce a welcome people to WrestleMania. I'm

568
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: sure he'll end up having some type of a thing

569
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: with some legends, so he'll kind of be woven throughout

570
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: the show, would be my guess. So it's good to

571
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: go a good way for him to stay in a

572
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: Marquis spot even though he's not necessarily a Marquis match, gotcha. Yeah,

573
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: well that sucks he's not actually wrestling. Yeah, I mean,

574
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: is he bummed by that? I think that because he

575
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: still gets to be like, he's been heavily featured in

576
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 1: the promotion, he's had big stuff leading up, He's gonna

577
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,239
Speaker 1: have big stuff at the show, and he doesn't have

578
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 1: to take any bumps. I'm sure I'll take a bump

579
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 1: or two, but he's probably thrilled with that. Yeah. Yeah,

580
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 1: so what what is the And I saw the WWE

581
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame Raymi Stereo yea, the Great Mudah yep,

582
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 1: Stacy Keibler, the Roadman, Kenny Roda maybe the favorite, his

583
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 1: favorite actress of all time. I once broke bread with

584
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: her in Vegas. She came down to the w K

585
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: and our studios and brovu heights, O man, and I

586
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: was like, Kenny gonna let her leave, very very kind, lady,

587
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: unbelievable nice. Yeah, she's the first person. Uh she introduced

588
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,959
Speaker 1: ke Keenwa to me. Really Yeah, we went out at

589
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: the restaurant were at in. I guess they had a

590
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: keen was spaghetti and she got that. I'm like, what

591
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: is Keenowa? And then so she told me very kind

592
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: Andy Kaufman also going in r I P. But yes,

593
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: if I told my friends, I said, if he was

594
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: going in for real, if he was with us, I

595
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: would I would do it. I would, I would go

596
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: check that out. But now we're gonna have plenty of

597
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: stuff to do. How many? Um? What is the number

598
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: of in the delegation coming from Cleveland? Is it? The

599
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: whole crew is normal? No, not the whole crew, a

600
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: little smaller Me and the big daddy Scotty Monica a

601
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: little smaller. I think building new a new babies in

602
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: the mix. It's la. It is a far away to go,

603
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: so I think it's just gonna be us. And then

604
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: Vince is coming up because he lives in Cali, so

605
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna be great. I can't wait for it. It's

606
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: two days. This will be my first two day Mania

607
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: that I've actually been to, which again to me, is

608
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: too much. I'd like one day. But they've got a

609
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: lot of great matches. Roman reigns against Cody Rhodes is

610
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: the Big is the main event for the Universal Championship.

611
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: You've got two great women's championships, Charlotte Flair vers Ria Ripley,

612

623
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: and I were talking about off the Area yesterday, I mean,

624
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: if you're able to sell out a football stadium two

625
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: consecutive nights, yeah, that's why they do it. And then

631
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,760

632
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: to the stadium? Knowing what a pain it is to

633
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: get in and out of that area? I think we're

634

710
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: first of all, the one thing that Roger Goodell said

711
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: that I was the most pumped about the NFL is

712
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: not even considering neutral site games for the AFC NNFC championships. Said,

713
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: they're not They've never even looked at it. There's never

714
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:42,359
Speaker 1: been a discussion about it. Well, there was a lot

715
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: of people saying that was a discussion last year. But

716
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 1: the net net is and the good news not happening.

717
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: It was one of the few things that the commissioner

718
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:55,919
Speaker 1: and the crew got right yesterday. There weren't many that were.

719
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 1: They got a few things they needed to get right.

720
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 1: There's a couple of things that have the owners in

721
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 1: a little bit of a tiff, and I don't blame them,

722
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: but yeah, good, AFC NFC championship games should be at home.

723
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: That's right, that's super Bowl neutral site great. It is

724
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 1: the best thing that you can have. If you are

725
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: you should be rewarded if you are right, as as

726
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,399
Speaker 1: a fan of a team that is the biggest game

727
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 1: that you can have right now is to host the

728
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 1: AFC ORFC championship game. Absolutely, absolutely, I think it's I'm

729
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: so happy about that. The NFL also will take up

730
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,439
Speaker 1: the discussion of flex scheduling for Thursday Night football again

731
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: in May, after not having the votes to approve the league'

732
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: proposed measure Tuesday good It's ridiculous. This is the one

733
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: that the league wants the leeway to move late season

734
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 1: games from a Sunday to Thursday with a fifteen day

735
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: advanced notice to assure better matches for Amazon. Giants co

736
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: owner John Mayer sounded off at the meaning, called the

737
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: proposal really inconsiderate to our season ticket holders and abusive. Yes,

738
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 1: that's exactly right. Yeah good Goodell came back and he

739
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,919
Speaker 1: was like, we don't think that at all. Like we're

740
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: trying to make the products like more consumable, not just

741
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 1: for in stadium, but we have millions of people watching

742
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 1: every week. And I'm like, well, that's fine and dandy,

743
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: make the Amazon schedule better right from the get go. Yep,

744
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: if we're gonna do this, yeah, then do that. What

745
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: we do not need to flex Thursday night games. No,

746
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 1: it's outrageous, awful, and I mean, you're it's a burden

747
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: for people that are flying to go see their team

748
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: on the road. Like what if you had tickets for

749
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,760
Speaker 1: a Sunday game and they're like, well, it's fifteen days notice. Well,

750
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 1: but like I can't take Thursday and Friday off or

751
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: Wednesday off to fly, like my flights Friday to Monday

752
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,439
Speaker 1: to go see my favorite team on the road. Like, yes,

753
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: it's doing here. Yeah, people travel the game. Yeah, it's

754
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:57,399
Speaker 1: totally inconsiderate. He's exactly right, it's awful. I also don't

755
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 1: love the fact that they said owners approved that allow

756
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,240
Speaker 1: teams to play on two short weeks during the season.

757
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: I mean team to play two Thursday night games on

758
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: short rest during the twenty twenty three season. I do

759
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:12,720
Speaker 1: not need two Thursday night games in my wheelhouse. Although

760
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 1: you know what, I would take two Thursday games and

761
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: no Monday night games. Yeah, Monday nights are the worst. Yeah,

762
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:25,359
Speaker 1: Thursdays aren't bad for us. It's a quick turnaround. Yeah,

763
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: bad for the play it's not ideal for us, but

764
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 1: we make it work. Yeah yeah, not great, No, not great.

765
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: At all uh NF twenty five NFL teams. That was

766
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: adopted today one preseason cut down date this year, it'll

767
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 1: be August twenty nine. I think that's fine. I think

768
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 1: that's huge. Yeah, for guys trying to make the roster.

769
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 1: I mean it also might mean that we're going to

770
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,240
Speaker 1: see even less of the impact guys and the starters

771
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: in the preseason if you're if you've got ninety guys

772
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: on your roster. Still, yeah, that's not ideal. But I

773
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 1: mean I didn't I didn't think that was a bad thing.

774
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: I agree with that. I think that. Yeah. I think

775
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: it's it's just it's cleaner. It's just everybody gets to

776
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 1: be available, and then you make it cut down and

777
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 1: then that's it. So I think you're fine with that.

778
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: Detroit's proposal bringing back the third quarterback rule was tabled.

779
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: Rich McKay said some debate about whether that player could

780
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:25,919
Speaker 1: be a practic squad player only an active roster player

781
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 1: to dress on game day with a roster exemption. I

782
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 1: think you gotta have it. You can't have what happened

783
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 1: in the NFC Championship game, correct, You just can't have that.

784
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: You can't have it. No so is it really that

785
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: big a deal, Figure it out right, come up with

786
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: some I'm surprised there wasn't more of a pushback there

787
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 1: for that. I agree with you. I would think that

788
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: everybody would want that. Yeah, and they'll probably say, well,

789
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 1: if you want that, have three quarterbacks active on game

790
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 1: day and you can do it. Um. Yeah, I don't know.

791
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: It feels like it's just an easy one, and that

792
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 1: one that makes a ton of sense around the league.

793
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: Clais Campbell has signed with the Falcons, and Calvin Ridley,

794
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: a former Falcon, becomes the first NFL player to take

795
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 1: advantage of the new rule and where the number zero

796
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 1: in his return to action with the Jags. I'm a

797
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,720
Speaker 1: big Calvin Ridley fan. I think he's a very good player,

798
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: and I think that he has an opportunity to have

799
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 1: a monster year with Trevor Lawrence. Trevor Lawrence is gonna

800
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: have a going back to Calais Campbell. Yep, you're signing

801
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 1: all these players, You're putting all this money into your team.

802
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: You got a good defense, now you got some playmakers

803
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: on offense. I can someone explain to me? And I

804
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:43,240
Speaker 1: know Arthur Blank tried to yesterday. Maybe not so great.

805
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,439
Speaker 1: Can someone please get through to them and go, why

806
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 1: don't you go take a flyer? In a meeting with

807
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,320
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, Well, you think maybe Clays Campbell says that,

808
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,720
Speaker 1: but Clais Campbell is at the end of his career,

809
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: and this feels very much like a win now. Sure,

810
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: but like they go, get eights. You know, you've got

811
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: a good running game. You've got you've got some playmakers

812
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 1: at wide receiver, you got pits at tight end, you

813
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 1: got a division that's very very winnable. Go get Lamar. Yep, yep, yep.

814
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: I mean, and for Lamar it makes sense. It just

815
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 1: feels pretty clear that you've got a situation where you

816
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: have the NFL is basically telling Lamar Jackson, for the

817
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: reasons that we laid out, that we think you are

818
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: top half of the league quarterback, but we're not ready

819
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: to mortgage our future for you because we feel like

820
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 1: it is an unreliable proposal due to injury concerns and

821
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: then pocket passing concerns, just straight up. And all those teams,

822
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: by the way, Atlanta for example, Carolina for example, teams

823
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 1: that have said they're not out that are out on him,

824
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 1: that would have had the ability to get him. All

825
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: went after Deshaun Watson. So the league clearly views Deshaun

826
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 1: Watson is significantly better than Lamar Jack. I think that

827
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: is an easy takeaway from everything that's going. Yes, yes,

828
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 1: I get I get that. He won an MVP, it

829
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 1: was in twenty nineteen. He's one in three in the playoffs.

830
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: He's played one game in December in two in the

831
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:26,760
Speaker 1: last three seasons. Yeah, like, you got to be available. Yeah,

832
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 1: that's That's where I'm at. You got you got to

833
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: take care of your business on this, and I think

834
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:39,240
Speaker 1: I think Lamar might have. He's got unrealistic expectations, clearly

835
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,240
Speaker 1: because no one in the league wants to go anywhere

836
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 1: near it. Right The Ravens have made you a very

837
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: fair offer, guaranteed you one hundred and thirty million. It

838
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: wasn't good enough for you, Okay, Well, well, I mean

839
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you here. He's that

840
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: gonna get it when you let the market set your value,

841
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 1: the market sets your value. So I've it is it

842
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: is a very difficult situation for him right now, and

843
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 1: that I'm curious sew this ultimately all plays out. That'll

844
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: be a lot of fun. All right when we come

845
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: Oh not yet, we sha we take a quick break

846
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 1: into another quick one, or do you I did? Did

847
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 1: you look at these other rules? I printed out everything

848
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 1: that got approved. Yep. Um. There were a couple other

849
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: little things that h The penalty for tripping is now

850
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 1: a personal fall. Yeah, I see that. That was That

851
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: one's interesting to me. I mean the illegal forward pass

852
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: I get. I don't even understand what illegally handling the

853
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: ball forward means. It's a forward pass, is it not. No,

854
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: it says to make penalty for legally handing the ball

855
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: forward consistent with other illegal acts such as illegal forward pass.

856
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:55,360
Speaker 1: So I don't know what that means illegally handling the

857
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 1: butt forward. Um. They change the definition of launching to

858
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 1: leaving with one or both feet and aren't okay. The

859
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:08,399
Speaker 1: Competition Committee the claiming period to Monday for players who

860
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: are waived on Friday and Saturday. That's great because it

861
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 1: used to be Tuesday for every everybody. So you can

862
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:31,839
Speaker 1: get guys in your building. Quicker. Yeah, interesting, I like that. Yeah,

863
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 1: let them get in there, get in the building, quicker.

864
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:37,720
Speaker 1: There's tivs who's gonna be joining us? Adjust the rules

865
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:41,760
Speaker 1: for postseason signings to account for standard elevations, rule freeze

866
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 1: postseason rosters at four pm on the Wednesday following the

867
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: last week of the regular season. Yeah. Yeah, what does

868
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 1: this mean by the Chargers to provide greater clarity as

869
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 1: to a player's availability for a game? What does that mean?

870
00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: I had no idea on that one. We don't know.

871
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 1: We don't have a clue. Some of these make absolutely

872
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 1: no sense. Yeah, and if that's how you're wording, I

873
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 1: mean this, this is the official memo that came out

874
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:17,359
Speaker 1: from the league. So I know some of these hit

875
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 1: or miss, but I thought the fact that tripping is

876
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: now a personal fill I guess. You know. We get

877
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 1: a video at the start of the year from the

878
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: league with how they're gonna what they define as a

879
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 1: penalty and what's not. So hopefully we'll get some clarity

880
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 1: on some of these. Yeah, some of these like rules, rules, procedures, procedures.

881
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 1: There it is. Yeah, all right, that's our first hour,

898
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 1: You know, I wake up in the morning and I

899
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 1: looked myself in the mirror and I say, how can

900
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 1: I be like Nathan Ziger? Got a lot less athletic.

901
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 1: That would be the first thing that you'd have to do.

902
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 1: That'd be the first thing the way to start. Well, dude,

903
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 1: this is a treat. I'm excited because we crossed paths

904
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:04,399
Speaker 1: all the time, but we don't get to do it together.

905
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 1: So this will be this will be a lot of

906
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: fun chopping it up today. All right, let's just kind

907
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: of start with, you know, your thoughts overall offseason. What

908
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 1: Andrew Berry has been able to do with this roster. Well,

909
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: you know, I thought that this, you know, it wasn't

910
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 1: a roster thing. I think the biggest moves that they

911
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 1: made this off season was the coaching changes that they made.

912
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,359
Speaker 1: You know, obviously, you know the defense, you know, with

913
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:27,280
Speaker 1: the mile with not with the Miles, with the jadeveon clowning,

914
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 1: sitting out first and second downs and all of that fiasco,

915
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 1: and just the way that the defense play. You kind

916
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 1: of feel like, you know, Joe Woods maybe lost the

917
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 1: post of that team a little bit. And then special teams.

918
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,399
Speaker 1: You know, obviously that thing has been hit or miss.

919
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: You've had some good returns, but it hasn't never been

920
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 1: that solid unit like it once was before. So I

921
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 1: think getting those two coaches in there, you know, getting

922
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 1: Gym Swartz in there, the guy that's gonna hold guys accountable.

923
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 1: He's gonna change the culture of that defense and have

924
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: these guys going out there ready to play day in

925
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 1: and day out, and then on special teams. You know,

926
00:47:58,239 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 1: to me, when I looked at it, it was just

927
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: like a play, you know, And that's certain guys get

928
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 1: to the NFL and they look at it like, oh,

929
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 1: special teams is just one play. But then there's those

930
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 1: guys who make their living off of special teams. And

931
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,840
Speaker 1: I think the Browns have addressed that by going to

932
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 1: get Bubba Ventrone in there, who got just that exactly

933
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,720
Speaker 1: made his career. So he's gonna look at special teams

934
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: totally different, and he's gonna instill that mindset in these

935
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 1: players like this ain't just no play. This is the

936
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 1: play that can change the game. And then you see

937
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:25,799
Speaker 1: them go out there and get some of these free

938
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:29,320
Speaker 1: agent acquisitions, you know, the Mike Fords, the Matthew Adams,

939
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 1: those guys that actually have made their niche in the

940
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 1: NFL by doing special teams. So I think those two

941
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: hits right there, as far as coaching goals, have been

942
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:40,440
Speaker 1: a huge and it's gonna make a huge impact next year.

943
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 1: All right, So let's talk about that a little bit.

944
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 1: Because you hit on something there where you felt like,

945
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: as somebody who played play in this league, that you saw,

946
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:50,399
Speaker 1: you know, perhaps that Joe Woods had lost the post.

947
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 1: So I want to ask you from a player perspective,

948
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:53,879
Speaker 1: because I think if we all said, what was the

949
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:58,839
Speaker 1: biggest issue with the Browns defense last year? Blown coverages? Yeah, right,

950
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 1: ye know that in the in the run, in the

951
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 1: obviously stopping the run. But we're gonna start with that.

952
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 1: Start with Joe Woods is not designing coverages that are faulty, right, right,

953
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:16,359
Speaker 1: and he's not playing correct. So how does that when

954
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 1: you say they lost locker room? How do you how

955
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:22,279
Speaker 1: do you balance that something's getting lost in translation because

956
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: if it happens repeatedly or the players are not being

957
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 1: diligent and what they were, like, how do you get

958
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 1: to that situation? So so I fought that back and

959
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 1: forth last year, and I did. I tried to explain

960
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 1: that a lot, you know, because obviously I was so

961
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,279
Speaker 1: familiar with the you know, the defense that they were

962
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 1: running because I ran it in the NFL for many

963
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 1: many years. So when I seen certain things, I was

964
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:43,799
Speaker 1: able to say, oh, I know exactly what mistake they

965
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:46,279
Speaker 1: made there. Like let's take the Carolina game. You know

966
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 1: they leave Robbie Anderson wide open. Well, what happened is

967
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:52,359
Speaker 1: they were in the coverage that we called They called

968
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 1: it mixed, we called it reno whatever, it's the same thing.

969
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:59,280
Speaker 1: And what happened is the only activation during slot sets.

970
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 1: So you gotta that slot sets for those that don't know,

971
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 1: is when you have a tight end on the clothes side,

972
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 1: So you got a nub tight end, meaning nobody is

973
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:08,800
Speaker 1: outside of him, and you got the other two wide

974
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 1: receivers on the single side, so you got one two,

975
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:14,239
Speaker 1: one in the outside, two in the slot traps, right,

976
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 1: so you get that set. Staff activates, mix areno whatever

977
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:19,880
Speaker 1: they wanted to call it. So what that means is

978
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: the corner on the backside that's to the nub side

979
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 1: tight end, he's gonna man his guy. He's got him

980
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 1: wherever he goes. On the front side, every coverage gets

981
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 1: pushed over. So now you got the outside corner who's

982
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 1: gonna take If the number two was to run like

983
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: a bubble a bubble route, which is like right now

984
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:38,399
Speaker 1: to the sideline, then that corner outside corner is gonna

985
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 1: trigger on that and he's gonna come down and make

986
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:43,880
Speaker 1: the play. That's essentially taking away bubbles, and then that's safety.

987
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 1: That's in the back. He's about twelve yards deep. He's

988
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 1: gonna go over the top of Number one. You're protected

989
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 1: on any inward breaking route because you got the linebackers

990
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:54,120
Speaker 1: sitting right there and you got your post safety. That's

991
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 1: looking specifically for post routes are over routes, he's gonna

992
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 1: take those. So what happened in that situation in the

993
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:04,959
Speaker 1: Carolina game is at a certain yard marker is where

994
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: you have to you have to lock the thing up.

995
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:09,359
Speaker 1: Some people is ten, it might be twelve, it might

996
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 1: be eight. I don't know specifically what it is. When

997
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 1: I played, it was ten yards. So so the corner.

998
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 1: So so say that the guy runs, let's say number

999
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 1: two goes vertical and then he runs a ten yard out,

1000
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:26,359
Speaker 1: which is what he did, So that outside corner does

1001
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:28,839
Speaker 1: he take that or does he stay on number one?

1002
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:31,439
Speaker 1: That was what the thing is. He decided they both

1003
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:34,800
Speaker 1: decided to take number the outward breaking a route, leaving

1004
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: Number one wide open on that post. Granted, you still

1005
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:39,919
Speaker 1: should have a post safety, but you should never ever

1006
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 1: cut a guy loose. So I think the problem is

1007
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 1: it was great area there. So what we did when

1008
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,280
Speaker 1: we had those mistakes when I played was if number

1009
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 1: two don't cross right now, didn't lock it for the

1010
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 1: rest of the play. And I think that's some adjustments

1011
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:54,760
Speaker 1: that they could have made. They should have made, don't

1012
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 1: know if they did, but that's how you would address it,

1013
00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 1: and that's how you can call some confusion. Yeah, so

1014
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: I was a lot. I'll apologized, that was all right,

1015
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:05,439
Speaker 1: But but you had that play exactly right. So number

1016
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 1: two did run a ten yard out, and in the

1017
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 1: way that it was designed or that it was taught

1018
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:12,840
Speaker 1: in this is that if number two was ten plus,

1019
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:16,319
Speaker 1: then the safety had number two and that Greg would

1020
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:19,439
Speaker 1: then carry one. And so in that case, Greg came

1021
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 1: down as the safety and Greg should have stayed correct

1022
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 1: what she's what she said after that, But to me,

1023
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:29,839
Speaker 1: that's when you put kind of those yard markers on it,

1024
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 1: and that obviously in reality, what you're saying is we

1025
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 1: won't give up the vertical. If they're gonna throw it,

1026
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:37,239
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to make that throw far hash to

1027
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 1: on the out route, and that's gonna limit. You're gonna

1028
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 1: gain ten yards, maybe, but when we're a head by nine, matter,

1029
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: take your ten yards and we'll live another day. It

1030
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 1: feels like and I'm so glad you brought you. We

1031
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:52,279
Speaker 1: got to that because as somebody who is just you know,

1032
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 1: might I certainly did not play the game like you.

1033
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:56,279
Speaker 1: I have done the best that I can to. You know,

1034
00:52:56,280 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 1: I've been able to watch a great job. Great job, well,

1035
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 1: thank you. That means a lot to me to hear

1036
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:04,880
Speaker 1: you say. But I'm asking. So when I hear something

1037
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 1: like that, I think you're right. I think it creates

1038
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 1: a real opportunity for confusion in the sense that if

1039
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 1: it's nine yards, is nine yards look like ten yards

1040
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 1: eleven yards. So it's almost like there should always be

1041
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 1: in my mind like, look, if there's a gray area,

1042
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 1: just stay deeper than the deep. That's right, that's what

1043
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 1: you should do. Right. If you confuse, then you don't

1044
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:29,279
Speaker 1: know error on the side of giving up the short route.

1045
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 1: So both of them should have just gave up the

1046
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 1: little out route. We can live to see another day,

1047
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 1: but you can't live. You won't last long in his

1048
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 1: league if you give us something beat, if you get

1049
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:40,319
Speaker 1: beat deep or give us something cheap, your career as

1050
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:42,759
Speaker 1: a corner will not be long in his league, right,

1051
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:45,240
Speaker 1: And I think Greg had a great job, a great season. Ultimately,

1052
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 1: bouncing back from that. But I think part of it

1053
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,239
Speaker 1: too is when you have that kind of a read,

1054
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:51,319
Speaker 1: you're thinking, oh, maybe our pressure is gonna get there.

1055
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 1: He's he's thinking he knows our rules like quarterbacks here

1056
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:56,879
Speaker 1: a year ago. Yeah, so he's gonna throw that out

1057
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 1: and maybe your you get you get greedy, You get

1058
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:02,239
Speaker 1: greedy in this. But the thing is when you get

1059
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 1: things like that, for that particular that mix or that reno,

1060
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, you need to you

1061
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 1: need to talk to that safety in that corner. They

1062
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,240
Speaker 1: need to have a communication. Hey, we and we're standing

1063
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 1: on the forty. If the ball is on the forty,

1064
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 1: the fifty yard line is where it's that. If he

1065
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:20,720
Speaker 1: goes under fifty, I'm going if not, stay with yours.

1066
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:22,919
Speaker 1: You need to have that type of communication to clear

1067
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,279
Speaker 1: things up because if you leave great area, then you

1068
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:27,719
Speaker 1: have a confusion like that. So, like I said, that's

1069
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:29,840
Speaker 1: one of those things that happened in those blown coverage.

1070
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,800
Speaker 1: The other one, the other big blown coverage was obviously

1071
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:35,359
Speaker 1: the Jets game to Garrett Wilson won. And the way

1072
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 1: I looked at that, when I looked at it from

1073
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 1: an outside looking the end is that Obviously, ten guys

1074
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 1: saw one formation, and let me explain that to me.

1075
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,760
Speaker 1: The empty check changes week to week in the NFL.

1076
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 1: So one week, your empty check might be covered too.

1077
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:52,239
Speaker 1: For the next game, when you say empty check, they

1078
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 1: go to an empty formation. That changes your coverage. Yeah,

1079
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 1: how what are you checking? The adjustment exactly the so

1080
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,400
Speaker 1: the way it was can The confusing part about what

1081
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:03,839
Speaker 1: the Jets did is that they had what we call

1082
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:06,480
Speaker 1: grave diggers. These two tight ends is in a grave digger,

1083
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 1: meaning that they not on the ball. They off the

1084
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 1: ball slightly, but they're not in three point stances. They

1085
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 1: got their hands chippers. That's what they get chippers. So

1086
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:17,880
Speaker 1: when you look at that, some people look at that

1087
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:20,920
Speaker 1: like that's empty. That might not be considered empty. Other

1088
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:23,759
Speaker 1: people look at it like that's max protection. Max protection

1089
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:27,319
Speaker 1: means that it's deeper developed routes. You get your double moves,

1090
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 1: you get your face, you get your deep posts, something

1091
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 1: like that. So if you have to have the communication

1092
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 1: in the secondary like hey, hey they're in the grave digger,

1093
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:38,839
Speaker 1: we're not checking empty, this is whatever the call is,

1094
00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:41,719
Speaker 1: or we are running empty to this. So they needed

1095
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 1: to have that communication. Like I say, ten people looked

1096
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:46,440
Speaker 1: at it a different way. All it takes one person

1097
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:48,319
Speaker 1: not to see it that way, and I think that's

1098
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:50,319
Speaker 1: what happened in that and that's why, you know, ten

1099
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:52,920
Speaker 1: people was playing one coverage. The other guy, unfortunately, was

1100
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 1: playing something totally different than boom, you give up something beat.

1101
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 1: It was very unfortunate and led to one of the

1102
00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 1: more disappointed things that we've ever experience here with the

1103
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:02,799
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. But again that kind of goes back to

1104
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 1: what I was saying, and this is something that I

1105
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:06,840
Speaker 1: hope to kind of tie it all in, is the

1106
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:11,399
Speaker 1: pols A locker room. Jim Schwartz is that on some level, right,

1107
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:14,439
Speaker 1: you can't tolerate that anymore. And I don't care who

1108
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 1: you are, exactly what you're paid, but if you do

1109
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,799
Speaker 1: something like that, then you're not gonna play as much.

1110
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 1: And then hopefully the accountability comes from making sure that

1111
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:25,360
Speaker 1: we have everything, everything's laid out in a way that

1112
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 1: we don't have that career, we don't have that confusion.

1113
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 1: But again, it just goes back to, you know, the

1114
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:32,279
Speaker 1: situation like don't let him run by you, no matter

1115
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 1: even if you think you're supposed to be playing a

1116
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:35,920
Speaker 1: cloud flat or whatever it is, and you see him

1117
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:38,600
Speaker 1: run there, just run with him, like, what's the worst

1118
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:40,319
Speaker 1: thing that happened? You would you would think, man, you know,

1119
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 1: at some point, you know, you can't be a robot

1120
00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 1: in this league. You gotta be a football player. I mean,

1121
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 1: you're here on the granddaddy stage of them all. You're

1122
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 1: at the ultimate stage of football, and you're here for

1123
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:53,000
Speaker 1: a reason because you've played this game. You've seen a

1124
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 1: lot of football, you know, in a last minute situation,

1125
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 1: to stay on top of every round, I don't care

1126
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:01,239
Speaker 1: what the call it is, I'm not giving us something deep.

1127
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 1: So you have at some point the players do have

1128
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 1: to take some responsibility on that. And even it's been

1129
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:09,080
Speaker 1: times that I've even been out in huddles and the

1130
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 1: DC might have called something and we look at each

1131
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 1: other like, yeah, we're not about to run that. That's

1132
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 1: a terrible call in this situation, and we run our

1133
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 1: own thing. But as long as everybody's and we all wrong,

1134
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:21,240
Speaker 1: then we all right. As long as we make the

1135
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 1: same call and we all on the same page, I

1136
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 1: think the defensive coordinator would be okay if we make

1137
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 1: it through a play, yeah, no doubt. And so I

1138
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 1: think that's one thing to clean up. You mentioned the

1139
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:30,920
Speaker 1: special team's unit as well, So I want to go

1140
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 1: back to kind of talking about what you were there

1141
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:36,320
Speaker 1: and not everybody being on the same page, and that

1142
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:39,000
Speaker 1: now you've got warn Juan Thornhill coming in, been a

1143
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champion two times with the Kansas City Chiefs.

1144
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 1: More of a true center field free safety, and we're

1145
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 1: gonna play more middle of the field closed. So does

1146
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:49,880
Speaker 1: that kind of help define everything for everybody too? When

1147
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:51,600
Speaker 1: you're in more of it. It It felt to me like

1148
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:58,000
Speaker 1: our bus predominantly came in split safety situations. Yeah, so

1149
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:00,000
Speaker 1: what happens if you got to post safety, a true

1150
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 1: post safety and you know, I think Jame Schwartz runs

1151
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 1: a lot of three and a lot of one, so

1152
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 1: will be in a lot of post safety. Hill. Having

1153
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 1: a true post safety is you have. You can't be nosy.

1154
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 1: See I've had the privilege of being a post safety

1155
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna lie to y'all. It gets sometimes

1156
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 1: it's boring back there. If you got a good defense,

1157
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 1: it can get really boring in that sect, in that

1158
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 1: post because nothing's happening, So you get greedy, you get

1159
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:26,160
Speaker 1: ansty It's like I want to make the plague. Yeah,

1160
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 1: I want. I want to they put that they put

1161
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 1: that cheese right in your face, that they put that

1162
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 1: dig in your face just so you can come up

1163
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:33,120
Speaker 1: and boom and they hit you to hit the post

1164
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 1: behind you. So if you got a true post safety

1165
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:38,680
Speaker 1: that understands that my job is to be an eraser

1166
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:41,240
Speaker 1: on a on a break and run, or to stop

1167
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:43,600
Speaker 1: things out of the middle of the field like wine

1168
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:47,919
Speaker 1: Thorn Hill is, then it makes everything else good because

1169
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:50,440
Speaker 1: you always know you can trust and believe that you

1170
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:52,440
Speaker 1: got somebody in the post. So if I'm at corner

1171
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 1: and he runs a post, it's like, I know that

1172
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:57,880
Speaker 1: one is gonna be back there. I'm not worried about

1173
00:58:57,880 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 1: it as much because I know this thing's gonna get double.

1174
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:02,160
Speaker 1: If you got a guy who's anty, you know, and

1175
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:04,160
Speaker 1: not to throw no shade at Jay three or anything

1176
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 1: like that, because he, to me, I think he was

1177
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:07,680
Speaker 1: kind of out of place playing in the post. That

1178
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:10,520
Speaker 1: two guys who are yeah, they both were your box safeties.

1179
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 1: You know, want to be around the ball and make plays,

1180
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 1: and you get anty, So now you're giving up things

1181
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:16,960
Speaker 1: in the post because you want to make a play

1182
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:18,880
Speaker 1: on the ball. But if you got a true post safety,

1183
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:21,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna do his job. He's gonna mind his own business,

1184
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:24,640
Speaker 1: and he's gonna make the plays that come his way. Yeah,

1185
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:26,440
Speaker 1: and I think that's what we're looking for with this

1186
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:29,160
Speaker 1: defense and out of that defense because it has an opportunity.

1187
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 1: Now with the moves you started with the coordinator, but

1188
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 1: we'll talk about the line. Dalvin Tomlinson comes in, it

1189
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:35,400
Speaker 1: gives you what you need a defensive tackle. You mentioned

1190
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 1: the run before. We'll just start right there. What does

1191
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 1: that do for a defense when he get that three

1192
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:41,200
Speaker 1: hundred twenty pound guy. Now, this is gonna be an

1193
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 1: aggressive front, so he's not he's not there to eat

1194
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 1: double teams. He's there to penetrate and make plays. But

1195
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 1: how does that help the guys behind and really everybody?

1196
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:49,400
Speaker 1: So what it does is you got a guy who's

1197
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 1: you know, you think about him, he's a three technique.

1198
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:53,320
Speaker 1: So a three technique is usually you know, in that

1199
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 1: B gap, you know, right on the outside shade of

1200
00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 1: that guard. And if you look at Jim Schwartz, Jim

1201
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 1: Swartz runs the wide nine and why nine means that

1202
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 1: that d N is kind of you know, d N

1203
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:05,040
Speaker 1: is out there, but he's a little bit like two

1204
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:07,760
Speaker 1: steps farther outside of where he's supposed to be normally,

1205
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:10,920
Speaker 1: So that B gap is wide open now because you

1206
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 1: you're essentially creating another gap. If you got a D

1207
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:15,960
Speaker 1: tack or a three technique that's sitting in there, that's

1208
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:17,960
Speaker 1: gonna put a stop sign on it. So say he

1209
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 1: gets vertical, he stops the running back from getting outside

1210
01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 1: of him. Now you got those free flowing linebackers coming

1211
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 1: over the top to make the play, and you don't

1212
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 1: have to worry about the ball getting outside that defensive tackle,

1213
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 1: especially if he's gonna be aggressive like that. So I

1214
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 1: think Tomlinson is the perfect fit for that. Right. There's

1215
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:36,120
Speaker 1: not a he's not a splash, not a big name

1216
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:39,400
Speaker 1: free agent, but he's a productive guy who understands his

1217
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 1: job and his responsibility and he's gonna get the job done.

1218
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:44,520
Speaker 1: And I think you hit the nail on the head.

1219
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 1: That's kind of when you look at this defense. Though

1220
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 1: you've got the talent, you just need to do it.

1221
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 1: Just be her sound. We're gonna be very difficult to

1222
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:56,320
Speaker 1: move the ball. I mean, last year, if this defense

1223
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 1: just you know, did their job and handled their responsibility

1224
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:01,919
Speaker 1: with look as so many more wins that we would

1225
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:04,000
Speaker 1: have had. You know, it's been times. You know, people

1226
01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:05,880
Speaker 1: that can say what they want about the offense, but

1227
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:09,160
Speaker 1: they've had leagues throughout this whole season. Last year they

1228
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 1: were up in a lot of games and they kind

1229
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:13,440
Speaker 1: of just let the thing get away. If that defense

1230
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 1: can just hold teams and just do their job, play

1231
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:19,840
Speaker 1: sound defense, we will win a lot more games that way. Yeah,

1232
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:22,240
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, you hope that Dalvin Thompson

1233
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:24,160
Speaker 1: helps you be stout unless you said, freeze up your

1234
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:28,080
Speaker 1: linebackers who generally speaking or undersize relative to somebody. But

1235
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:30,560
Speaker 1: if you've got the defensive tackles that's keeping them offensive

1236
01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 1: linement off of them, they've free flowing. They can get

1237
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:35,000
Speaker 1: to the ball and they can get there fast. Yeah.

1238
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 1: And then you've got the great corner trio. You've got

1239
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:39,680
Speaker 1: Grant and now wand Thorne Hills. You've got a good secondary.

1240
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:41,240
Speaker 1: You should be able to pressure the passer and obvious

1241
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:44,240
Speaker 1: passing situations you should be able to cover. And so

1242
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 1: that's what you need. For the past few years. It's

1243
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:50,320
Speaker 1: always sound good on paper, we just got to see

1244
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 1: it put into action. And I think Jim Schwartz is

1245
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:54,440
Speaker 1: the guy that can get it on all of these guys.

1246
01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 1: When you are a Jim Schwartz, You've won a Super Bowl,

1247
01:01:57,560 --> 01:02:00,360
Speaker 1: you have sent guys to the Pro Bowl everywhere, have been.

1248
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 1: You are well regarded for your ability to coach a defense.

1249
01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:06,000
Speaker 1: You know. I think one of the things that people

1250
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:09,680
Speaker 1: don't realize, and you said it earlier, players aren't robots,

1251
01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 1: and players in many cases are in their early twenties.

1252
01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:21,400
Speaker 1: Many of them are millionaires, yes, and so I think

1253
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:23,360
Speaker 1: people don't put themselves in the shoes of what it

1254
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:25,600
Speaker 1: would be like if they themselves or not. They're not

1255
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:28,800
Speaker 1: honest about what they would have been like if they

1256
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:31,240
Speaker 1: were a twenty year old millionaire. I think most people

1257
01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 1: would be difficult. It is so does a guy like

1258
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:37,320
Speaker 1: Jim Schwartz. Is that credibility that he brings and kind

1259
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:39,600
Speaker 1: of his attitude which is very much going to be

1260
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:41,520
Speaker 1: no nonsense, kind of get in some guts. Is that

1261
01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:43,760
Speaker 1: kind of what you need at times? So what you

1262
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:46,280
Speaker 1: what you need is first you do need that one

1263
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 1: thousand percent. You need a guy to come in and

1264
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 1: set the tone easily. Um. But it also determines on

1265
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:54,240
Speaker 1: the player. You know, it's this is a player thing.

1266
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 1: Why do you played his game? You know some people

1267
01:02:57,200 --> 01:02:59,200
Speaker 1: played his game for money reasons. I just want to

1268
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:01,360
Speaker 1: make money to you know, take care of my family.

1269
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:03,640
Speaker 1: Or some people play because I want to be great.

1270
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:05,320
Speaker 1: I want to go to the Hall of Fame. So

1271
01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:07,920
Speaker 1: what are you doing to be great? You know, some

1272
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 1: people get in the league and they get complacent, and

1273
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 1: that's the craziest. Yeah, you get complacent in life, man,

1274
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:16,960
Speaker 1: and and you think that you arriving. As soon as

1275
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:19,400
Speaker 1: you do, boom you get cuttings. So you gotta come

1276
01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:22,800
Speaker 1: in this thing and take this job seriously because this

1277
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:25,200
Speaker 1: thing can pass you right by. You could be on

1278
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:27,520
Speaker 1: the outside looking in. And I don't want any player

1279
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 1: to be there. So when why are you there? And

1280
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:32,360
Speaker 1: you got the opportunity and you're employed, make sure that

1281
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 1: you're going in there every single day and doing everything

1282
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:38,680
Speaker 1: you can. I mean, leave no stone left unturned. If

1283
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:41,280
Speaker 1: this watch extra film, do it, if it's spending time

1284
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:44,080
Speaker 1: after practice to do some extra drills, just to make

1285
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:46,400
Speaker 1: sure that you, Chris, do it because you never know

1286
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:48,400
Speaker 1: when that opportunity is gonna come in the game and

1287
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:50,120
Speaker 1: this team is gonna need you to step up. And

1288
01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:51,960
Speaker 1: make that play. So you need to be ready for

1289
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:55,240
Speaker 1: those opportunities. And I think that you know, we heard

1290
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:57,680
Speaker 1: John Johnson talking about that last year. You know, he

1291
01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:00,640
Speaker 1: gave out there. You know, guys aren't doing extra things

1292
01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:02,760
Speaker 1: when they when the you know, when three o'clock or

1293
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 1: four o'clock is up, And there's no way that you're

1294
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:08,120
Speaker 1: going to be great in this game if you if

1295
01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:11,280
Speaker 1: you're not taking what you do in the building outside

1296
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:14,400
Speaker 1: at home. Like for myself, I started one game in

1297
01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 1: the NFL and I was against the Oakland Raiders. At

1298
01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:21,960
Speaker 1: the time. That entire week, I did nothing but watch

1299
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:25,640
Speaker 1: film all day long. But you know what, I was

1300
01:04:25,720 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 1: so prepared for that game, Nathan. It is no better

1301
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:31,720
Speaker 1: feeling than going in the game and being able to say,

1302
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:35,400
Speaker 1: this is what's coming and it happens. It's like it's

1303
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:38,320
Speaker 1: a feeling that I wish every player can have, like

1304
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:40,640
Speaker 1: just to know what a team is trying to do

1305
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:44,680
Speaker 1: and knowing how to stop it. Man, like you should

1306
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 1: do it, Just do it, trust me. But that's I

1307
01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:49,920
Speaker 1: think you hit on something that is, you know, just

1308
01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:51,720
Speaker 1: from getting to be around Joe Thomas so much and

1309
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 1: listening the way that he approached everything if you really

1310
01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:57,560
Speaker 1: want to be great in this game, it's a lifestyle.

1311
01:04:57,640 --> 01:05:00,360
Speaker 1: It is a complete dedication to the person suit of

1312
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:03,440
Speaker 1: that greatness, whether it's watching film, bonding with your guys

1313
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 1: and talking ball with them so that they know what

1314
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:08,320
Speaker 1: you're thinking without you having to tell them what your things.

1315
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:09,640
Speaker 1: So you guys are all kind of seeing through the

1316
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:12,600
Speaker 1: same eyes, and that's how you approach everything. I'm sure

1317
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:13,760
Speaker 1: you do the same now when you come to do

1318
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:16,680
Speaker 1: broadcasting for me with a game on Sunday, it's like,

1319
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:19,360
Speaker 1: I don't what my biggest fear is. I don't want

1320
01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:21,920
Speaker 1: everybody I want something. Never want somebody to say he

1321
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:23,600
Speaker 1: doesn't know what he's talking about her, he wasn't prepared

1322
01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:25,840
Speaker 1: for this scene. Right, that's the scariest thing. So you

1323
01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:27,640
Speaker 1: want to you want to be able if it doesn't

1324
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:29,920
Speaker 1: work out. Listen, if you put in all the work

1325
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:32,400
Speaker 1: and it doesn't work out, you can at least look

1326
01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 1: yourself in the mirror, because that's what it's about. At

1327
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:35,800
Speaker 1: the end of the day. Can you look yourself in

1328
01:05:35,880 --> 01:05:38,280
Speaker 1: the mirror and say, I honestly did everything I tried,

1329
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:40,360
Speaker 1: I did everything I was supposed to do, and it

1330
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:42,800
Speaker 1: just obviously I just wasn't good enough. That's okay, that's

1331
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:45,360
Speaker 1: part of the life. But if you sitting there will regret,

1332
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:47,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna eat at you for the rest of your life.

1333
01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:50,000
Speaker 1: I do think there's an interesting balance between the people

1334
01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:53,400
Speaker 1: that are wired that way in my kind of decade

1335
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:55,120
Speaker 1: and will be my eleven season around you know, the

1336
01:05:55,280 --> 01:05:57,720
Speaker 1: NFL and around the Browns, and then there are people

1337
01:05:57,760 --> 01:06:01,960
Speaker 1: that I think are afraid to do that because they

1338
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:03,840
Speaker 1: can at least always say them like they don't ever

1339
01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:05,520
Speaker 1: want to get to the point where they say I

1340
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 1: wasn't good enough when I did everything. So if I

1341
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:10,680
Speaker 1: leave something in the tank, then I that's just part

1342
01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:12,960
Speaker 1: of it. If I did listen, it's always this league

1343
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:15,240
Speaker 1: is always looking for cheaper and younger, and there's always

1344
01:06:15,240 --> 01:06:17,600
Speaker 1: some guys somebody out there that's looking to take your job.

1345
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:19,800
Speaker 1: It's hungrier than you. So you got to make sure

1346
01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:21,680
Speaker 1: that you're doing everything you can and you can't give

1347
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:24,120
Speaker 1: them that satisfaction. If I'm always on my a game

1348
01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 1: and I'm doing the best I can every day, there's

1349
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:28,080
Speaker 1: no way that you're taking my job from me. And

1350
01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:30,200
Speaker 1: that's it's a competitive thing. You have to compete with

1351
01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:33,160
Speaker 1: your mind. It's a mindset thing, and like I said,

1352
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:36,000
Speaker 1: hopefully Jim Schwartz can store that into this defense and

1353
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:39,400
Speaker 1: Bubba on this special team as well. Yeah, there's no

1354
01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:41,960
Speaker 1: doubt because I mean Bubba, I just got to be

1355
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:44,560
Speaker 1: around him. We did Jim Donovan and I did an

1356
01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:46,920
Speaker 1: event with called meet the Coaches for some of the partners,

1357
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:49,840
Speaker 1: so it was all the coordinators and Stefanski and like,

1358
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:54,200
Speaker 1: Schwartz is a phenomenal talker, and you has a president

1359
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:58,120
Speaker 1: and then Bubba and Toronto is just like legit. I'm jealous.

1360
01:06:58,120 --> 01:07:01,080
Speaker 1: I feel jealous, dude, you're like this guy. This guy's

1361
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:02,919
Speaker 1: Legitiman He stayed in the league for a decade playing

1362
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:04,840
Speaker 1: Specialtiams like, you've got to be wired a little bit

1363
01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 1: differently than you do, and you've got to be tough,

1364
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:09,240
Speaker 1: and you've got to be because they always want cheaper

1365
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:13,760
Speaker 1: there special because they feel like anybody, if you fast

1366
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:15,920
Speaker 1: and strong, we could just replace you. But if you

1367
01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:17,840
Speaker 1: get if you make your plays, there's no way to

1368
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 1: make can replace you. Exactly right, that's the key. All right,

1369
01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:23,280
Speaker 1: we're not replacing anybody. We still got almost a half

1370
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:25,000
Speaker 1: hour to go here. When to come back, we'll talk

1371
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 1: a little bit about some of the additions on the

1372
01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:28,920
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball. We got some fact or fiction.

1373
01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:31,440
Speaker 1: We might take some calls. You also can tweet your

1374

Speaker 1: Nathan's Gura and ti Vis Powell in the studio here

1381
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:14,800
Speaker 1: at the Cross Country Mortgage Campus in Brea. All Right, Thyvius,

1382
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:17,839
Speaker 1: let's talk offense. We talked a lot about defense. Offense.

1383
01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:19,360
Speaker 1: One of the things that I'm sure you know you

1384
01:08:19,400 --> 01:08:22,120
Speaker 1: were sitting there. You've been around some great defenses in

1385
01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:25,679
Speaker 1: your time. Brown's very effective. For a good poor season.

1386
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:28,799
Speaker 1: We were top ten offense. Not necessarily a scary offense

1387
01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:31,519
Speaker 1: in the sense that you weren't worried about somebody running

1388
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:34,000
Speaker 1: by you. The only person that you really worried about

1389
01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:36,360
Speaker 1: was was Amara Cooper route in you and making you

1390
01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:38,719
Speaker 1: look bad on a route. Yeah, that and Nick Joe

1391
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:41,280
Speaker 1: potentially running over you know, that was the too scariest thing.

1392
01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:44,439
Speaker 1: Yeah that. DPJ obviously has really ascended here, David and Joke,

1393
01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 1: who's a good player, but we didn't have a space creator,

1394
01:08:47,160 --> 01:08:48,800
Speaker 1: and so Andrew Barry knew that was something they need

1395
01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:51,160
Speaker 1: to address. You make the trade for Elijah More, which

1396
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:53,280
Speaker 1: I love. I loved him at all, miss. I think

1397
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:55,439
Speaker 1: he's you go watch the end of his rookie season.

1398
01:08:55,439 --> 01:09:00,240
Speaker 1: He's got great tape that changes the calculus at bit.

1399
01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:03,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna play a lot more eleven And now you're saying, oh, Amari,

1400
01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:05,559
Speaker 1: we can't leave him singled up. But now Elijah More

1401
01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:08,280
Speaker 1: can run by us. DPJ is very good against single

1402
01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:11,040
Speaker 1: coverage as well. The Chief, if you give him space

1403
01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:13,240
Speaker 1: in the middlefield, is very productive player. And now you

1404
01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:15,719
Speaker 1: have Nick Chubb against lighter boxes. So just by being

1405
01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:18,160
Speaker 1: able to be a dangerous eleven team, I think it

1406
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:21,280
Speaker 1: changes everything for this office. Well, it definitely changes the mindset.

1407
01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:23,200
Speaker 1: Now you got guys that can go. You know, it's

1408
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:26,479
Speaker 1: like everybody who can win their one on one battles

1409
01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:29,320
Speaker 1: in this thing. You know, you think about the run game. Obviously,

1410
01:09:29,360 --> 01:09:31,679
Speaker 1: the offensive line got a huge chip on their shoulder.

1411
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:34,000
Speaker 1: We want to make sure that Nick Chubb gets the

1412
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:36,040
Speaker 1: yard is that he can give. Plus Nick Chubb can

1413
01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:39,240
Speaker 1: break tackles, that he can be very effective and win games.

1414
01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:41,160
Speaker 1: Then you think about the passing game, you think about

1415
01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:43,760
Speaker 1: all those wide receivers that you name, you know, you

1416
01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:46,200
Speaker 1: think about Elijah More and people will say it's the

1417
01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:50,560
Speaker 1: pushback is his numbers aren't really that great. And I

1418
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:53,160
Speaker 1: hear what you're saying. But if you got guys like

1419
01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:56,040
Speaker 1: a j Brown who's coming out saying this guy is

1420
01:09:56,080 --> 01:09:58,920
Speaker 1: gonna be better than me. You got an Odale who's saying, man,

1421
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:02,000
Speaker 1: this guy is really really good, you know it's something there.

1422
01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:06,040
Speaker 1: The talent is there. Maybe he just wasn't utilized correctly.

1423
01:10:06,080 --> 01:10:08,599
Speaker 1: That's that's part of a thing as well. So obviously

1424
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:10,880
Speaker 1: if the Zach Wilson thing wasn't great with them in

1425
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:12,960
Speaker 1: the Jets, so you didn't get to see him a lot,

1426
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:16,000
Speaker 1: but this guy does win. I remember when we played

1427
01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:18,400
Speaker 1: when the Jets played the Browns, he had a route

1428
01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:22,679
Speaker 1: against Denzel where he ran a ten yard snap route

1429
01:10:22,680 --> 01:10:24,519
Speaker 1: where it was a ten yard out route and the

1430
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:27,320
Speaker 1: way he snaps out of in and out of his break,

1431
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:30,240
Speaker 1: he creates the separation needed for any quarterback to get

1432
01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:32,840
Speaker 1: him the ball. So that right there is something that's

1433
01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:35,160
Speaker 1: going to help him win. Just his route running ability

1434
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:38,000
Speaker 1: is going to help him win routes. And now, oh,

1435
01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:40,320
Speaker 1: by the way, he runs a four to three. Now

1436
01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:42,840
Speaker 1: I gotta back up. I can't flatfoot this guy because

1437
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:45,840
Speaker 1: he'll run right past me. I think that everything that

1438
01:10:46,080 --> 01:10:49,040
Speaker 1: it'll all come together as long as Deshaun Watson comes

1439
01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:51,760
Speaker 1: out and if he looks even close to the guy

1440
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:54,519
Speaker 1: he was in Houston, which he gave us glimpses of it,

1441
01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:56,720
Speaker 1: so it's still there. Now that he'll be working with

1442
01:10:56,840 --> 01:10:59,519
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski for more than six games, he'll be with

1443
01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:02,720
Speaker 1: a whole core wide receivers. They'll build that chemistry. This

1444
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:06,200
Speaker 1: office should really be able to go next year. Yeah,

1445
01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:09,920
Speaker 1: there are I couldn't agree more. Obviously. The only thing

1446
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:12,920
Speaker 1: is we need great play from Jedrick Wiels. That is

1447
01:11:12,960 --> 01:11:15,040
Speaker 1: one thing that we do because if if he if

1448
01:11:15,040 --> 01:11:17,759
Speaker 1: the left tackle position isn't solidified and you know, things

1449
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:20,599
Speaker 1: is not looking well, it can't make a long season.

1450
01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:23,200
Speaker 1: It can, but I think you're if the shan is

1451
01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:25,320
Speaker 1: close to what we did see glimpses of it. I

1452
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:28,679
Speaker 1: think I certainly was guilty of it. I underestimated because

1453
01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:30,360
Speaker 1: I saw him out here in practice, Yeah, how good

1454
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 1: he would look to I underestimated what it would take

1455
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:34,639
Speaker 1: to play. And then we got we would get teased

1456
01:11:34,640 --> 01:11:36,880
Speaker 1: with it. Every week. They're certain plays or throws, you know,

1457
01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:40,320
Speaker 1: the the far the far hash sideline ball to a Mari,

1458
01:11:40,479 --> 01:11:43,280
Speaker 1: the post to uh DPJ and Cincinnati where you're like

1459
01:11:43,280 --> 01:11:45,280
Speaker 1: and dpj's like that, or the deep digg he's like

1460
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:48,479
Speaker 1: that ball caught meat. Yeah, where you saying, ever seen

1461
01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:51,439
Speaker 1: this stuff? And then on top of that, obviously, you

1462
01:11:51,479 --> 01:11:54,439
Speaker 1: know when he does the escapability thing, when he breaks

1463
01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:57,839
Speaker 1: those sacks and he's scrambling around, it's like our receivers

1464
01:11:57,840 --> 01:12:00,000
Speaker 1: weren't used to it. So they there was our lives

1465
01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:01,559
Speaker 1: and neither was our line. We got a bunch of

1466
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:04,200
Speaker 1: holding calls and the receivers didn't understand that. You know

1467
01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:07,040
Speaker 1: it scrammed with drill whatever. If you go deep, come

1468
01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:09,120
Speaker 1: back short, if you got a short route, go deep.

1469
01:12:09,160 --> 01:12:10,880
Speaker 1: You know that's the thing. Now that you got like

1470
01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:15,080
Speaker 1: an Elijah more, imagine checking him for six seconds and

1471
01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:17,519
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden he taking off again, all

1472
01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:19,599
Speaker 1: the way up the field and he just chucked something deep.

1473
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:21,680
Speaker 1: Like it's a lot on a DB's body to be

1474
01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:23,960
Speaker 1: able to check a guy like Elijah More. So that

1475
01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:27,080
Speaker 1: right there is it. Like I say, his numbers aren't great,

1476
01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:30,080
Speaker 1: but with a great quarterback like Deshaun Watson, he can't

1477
01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:32,120
Speaker 1: extend to be a top talent in his league. I

1478
01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:34,040
Speaker 1: just go back and what I've been watching when I

1479
01:12:34,080 --> 01:12:36,360
Speaker 1: watched Eliza Elijah More the final six games of his

1480
01:12:36,439 --> 01:12:40,479
Speaker 1: rookie season, when he was playing and being featured six

1481
01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:43,040
Speaker 1: for sixty seven, seven for eighty four and two touchdowns,

1482
01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:44,880
Speaker 1: three for forty four and a touchdown, eight for one

1483
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:47,240
Speaker 1: forty one in a touchdown, four for forty six, six

1484
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:49,360
Speaker 1: for seventy seven and a touchdown, he was getting real targets.

1485
01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:51,280
Speaker 1: He was getting, you know, six to twelve targets a game,

1486
01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:54,559
Speaker 1: very productive, nub very productive, but consistently five touchdowns in

1487
01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:56,680
Speaker 1: the six games, hundred yard game. You know, he was

1488
01:12:56,720 --> 01:12:59,880
Speaker 1: over eighty yards three of the final five games, six

1489
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:02,479
Speaker 1: or more catches, you know, four times in those six games.

1490
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:05,720
Speaker 1: That is the element that he can bring to this

1491
01:13:05,760 --> 01:13:09,360
Speaker 1: football team. And you know, then you bring in Marky's goodwin. Yeah,

1492
01:13:09,400 --> 01:13:12,280
Speaker 1: I know him. He can fly. I got to play

1493
01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:15,400
Speaker 1: it with him for many years. Yeah, that guy right

1494
01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:19,360
Speaker 1: there is obviously he got the Olympian speed. He had

1495
01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:23,120
Speaker 1: a really productive, like few games with the Seattle Seahawks

1496
01:13:23,240 --> 01:13:25,400
Speaker 1: last year. I mean this, the guys only like five

1497
01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:28,759
Speaker 1: nine five team, but he attacks the football. And obviously,

1498
01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:30,920
Speaker 1: like I say that, speed is always something that a

1499
01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:34,960
Speaker 1: dB has to respect. Two things that every dB respects

1500
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:38,680
Speaker 1: is speed and route running. If you got those two things,

1501
01:13:38,439 --> 01:13:42,200
Speaker 1: the dB is already a little bit worried. So M

1502
01:13:42,479 --> 01:13:44,880
Speaker 1: Marky's goodwin brings that to the table. You know, he's

1503
01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:46,960
Speaker 1: not a I don't think he's an every down wide receiver,

1504
01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:48,640
Speaker 1: but he's a guy that when he's in there, be

1505
01:13:48,720 --> 01:13:51,479
Speaker 1: on high alert because this guy can absolutely go well

1506
01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:53,439
Speaker 1: and it alerts the defense. Yea, all of a sudden

1507
01:13:53,439 --> 01:13:54,960
Speaker 1: they're saying, oh, we're going to roll the safety in

1508
01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:57,200
Speaker 1: his direction. And now you've got one on one tomorrow,

1509
01:13:57,280 --> 01:13:59,759
Speaker 1: one on one with Elijah Moore, who was percentage wise

1510
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:02,280
Speaker 1: as good as a Mari against man coverage last year.

1511
01:14:02,439 --> 01:14:04,200
Speaker 1: I mean the thing the staff for more that's crazy

1512
01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:05,919
Speaker 1: to me is I saw he had thirty six catchable

1513
01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:08,320
Speaker 1: balls thrown to him lest year only thirty six. He

1514
01:14:08,360 --> 01:14:10,880
Speaker 1: caught thirty seven passes, so he had one of the

1515
01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:13,160
Speaker 1: highest catch rates in the league in terms of converting

1516
01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:16,040
Speaker 1: balls that were catchable into catch. It doesn't drop the ball,

1517
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:17,920
Speaker 1: you know. And you mentioned the speed. This is a

1518
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:19,599
Speaker 1: play that I was just I was taking a gain

1519
01:14:19,680 --> 01:14:21,800
Speaker 1: ratte and this was when we played Pittsburgh. This was

1520
01:14:21,880 --> 01:14:23,720
Speaker 1: Jalen darr Now the slot running a post and we

1521
01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:25,880
Speaker 1: end up getting a big thirty yard crosser to a

1522
01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:29,599
Speaker 1: Mari underneath it. Because that speed. You saw Minka Fitzpatch say, whoa,

1523
01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:32,000
Speaker 1: this guy's kind of fast he runs and it opens

1524
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:34,160
Speaker 1: it up. And we only got that in a glimpse,

1525
01:14:34,160 --> 01:14:35,559
Speaker 1: you know, at the end of the season last year.

1526
01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:38,080
Speaker 1: But now you're gonna have multiple guys that can do

1527
01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:40,200
Speaker 1: that all the time. You have the ability with a

1528
01:14:40,240 --> 01:14:42,840
Speaker 1: good one even if he plays gives you a twenty

1529
01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:46,479
Speaker 1: plays a game. Yeah, he's gonna impact coverages for twenty

1530
01:14:46,479 --> 01:14:48,840
Speaker 1: plays because when you see Mark he's good. When the

1531
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:51,839
Speaker 1: first thing you think of is Olympian, so you already

1532
01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:55,599
Speaker 1: backing off right there. And that's what from an offensive mindset,

1533
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:58,080
Speaker 1: that's what we want. Now we got role for Mark

1534
01:14:58,080 --> 01:15:00,519
Speaker 1: Cooper to work. We got role for DPG to run

1535
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:02,800
Speaker 1: that famous dig rout Daddy runs. You don't have to

1536
01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:05,040
Speaker 1: worry about a safety flat foot and then and trying

1537
01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:08,080
Speaker 1: to beat two guys. So that right there. The Browns,

1538
01:15:08,120 --> 01:15:10,960
Speaker 1: like I said, they haven't made the big name Elijah More.

1539
01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:12,800
Speaker 1: You can call him a big name. I think he is,

1540
01:15:13,520 --> 01:15:16,280
Speaker 1: but I loved him. They haven't made like the guy

1541
01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:19,240
Speaker 1: who everybody's like, oh, that's a big time free agent. Like,

1542
01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:22,000
Speaker 1: they didn't do that. But they got some productive guys

1543
01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:25,040
Speaker 1: that's going who they're gonna utilize correctly to make this

1544
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:27,120
Speaker 1: whole thing go. And they did it for a couple

1545
01:15:27,200 --> 01:15:30,000
Speaker 1: million dollars. That's it. They stay. Now. You know they

1546
01:15:30,080 --> 01:15:31,680
Speaker 1: the king when he come in that cap room. Now,

1547
01:15:31,760 --> 01:15:34,080
Speaker 1: Andrew Barry, there's not many guys like that, and I

1548
01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:36,280
Speaker 1: think he's the king. For trading, I mean to give up.

1549
01:15:36,680 --> 01:15:38,600
Speaker 1: They wanted the Jets wanted the third round pick for

1550
01:15:38,640 --> 01:15:42,040
Speaker 1: Elijah More. You give him a second, take their third back.

1551
01:15:42,400 --> 01:15:44,439
Speaker 1: So you're not even losing a pick, you're just losing

1552
01:15:44,560 --> 01:15:47,160
Speaker 1: some spots. The value on those new charts has that

1553
01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:50,480
Speaker 1: in the mid fourth round, and you got Elijah More exactly,

1554
01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:54,679
Speaker 1: so you is listen. They yeah, he's he's a wizard

1555
01:15:54,680 --> 01:15:57,960
Speaker 1: on the trade. Yeah, I would be like, na, no,

1556
01:15:58,720 --> 01:16:00,360
Speaker 1: not if you want it. That's how this for me

1557
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:02,120
Speaker 1: sometimes when my fantasy football these because I used to

1558
01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:04,559
Speaker 1: do fans football professionally. Yeah, and so I will call up,

1559
01:16:04,600 --> 01:16:05,880
Speaker 1: you know, and try to make a trade with somebody

1560
01:16:05,880 --> 01:16:07,280
Speaker 1: and they're like, well, yeah, but if you want them,

1561
01:16:08,040 --> 01:16:11,320
Speaker 1: which which I don't want to trade, I don't want it. Yeah,

1562
01:16:11,320 --> 01:16:12,880
Speaker 1: I don't want I have to overpay in my trades

1563
01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:15,280
Speaker 1: to get anything done there. Uh yeah. So I think

1564
01:16:15,640 --> 01:16:17,760
Speaker 1: you talked about, you know, preparing for a game, the

1565
01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:19,920
Speaker 1: one that you started. If you're preparing for a Browns team,

1566
01:16:19,960 --> 01:16:23,960
Speaker 1: now that can come out with Amar DPJ Goodwin or

1567
01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:26,920
Speaker 1: Elijah David Njoku and then you have to worry about

1568
01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:29,679
Speaker 1: oh wait, so now we're in a six man box. Yeah,

1569
01:16:29,720 --> 01:16:32,160
Speaker 1: and then here comes Nick Chubb. He's gonna get to

1570
01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:34,400
Speaker 1: you at that at that center field spot at some point,

1571
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:36,160
Speaker 1: and that's gonna be a tough scenario. That's where it

1572
01:16:36,200 --> 01:16:38,679
Speaker 1: gets scary y. So if I was to go against

1573
01:16:38,680 --> 01:16:41,320
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns today, you know, the first thing I

1574
01:16:41,320 --> 01:16:43,760
Speaker 1: would do is, obviously we have to stop the run.

1575
01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:46,960
Speaker 1: That that's that's first and foremost, and then secondly, I

1576
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:49,880
Speaker 1: would definitely leave at the beginning of season, they're gonna

1577
01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:52,840
Speaker 1: lean towards Lamara Cooper because you need to see Elijah

1578
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:55,000
Speaker 1: More prove it to you first. You need to see it.

1579
01:16:55,360 --> 01:16:57,240
Speaker 1: So right now, we're going to put the one on

1580
01:16:57,240 --> 01:16:59,559
Speaker 1: one coverage on Elijah More. But we have to have

1581
01:16:59,600 --> 01:17:01,720
Speaker 1: a plan for Mark Cooper because we know what he

1582
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:05,280
Speaker 1: brings at the table. Probably at halftime, I might I'm

1583
01:17:05,280 --> 01:17:07,719
Speaker 1: gonna have to make some adjustments. If Elijah Moore turns

1584
01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:09,960
Speaker 1: out to be that guy like we think he can be.

1585
01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:13,080
Speaker 1: In Deshaun Watson is looking good, it can be a

1586
01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:15,599
Speaker 1: long day for that defense because the Browns have too

1587
01:17:15,600 --> 01:17:18,479
Speaker 1: many weapons. You know. Now, if you're going in six

1588
01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:21,160
Speaker 1: box now, you're giving Nick Chubb what he wants. And

1589
01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:23,719
Speaker 1: in this league, you gotta pass to run the ball.

1590
01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:25,800
Speaker 1: So if the passing game is good and we lighting

1591
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:28,840
Speaker 1: the ball, lighten the box up. Now, Nick Chubb is like,

1592
01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:31,439
Speaker 1: oh yes, it's my time. Oh by the way, if

1593
01:17:31,439 --> 01:17:33,800
Speaker 1: the Browns is winning, now, they got time to bleed

1594
01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:36,640
Speaker 1: the clock out. Now now we're playing catchup and we

1595
01:17:36,680 --> 01:17:38,280
Speaker 1: ain't got a lot of time to catch up. So

1596
01:17:38,560 --> 01:17:41,120
Speaker 1: it's really a dream scenario right now for the Cleveland

1597
01:17:41,160 --> 01:17:45,720
Speaker 1: Browns offense. It feels to me like Kevin Stefanski has

1598
01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:48,599
Speaker 1: been so good with his offensive design and play calling

1599
01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:50,360
Speaker 1: that we've been able to be a top ten offense

1600
01:17:50,439 --> 01:17:53,280
Speaker 1: when nobody really was afraid of us throwing the football. Yeah,

1601
01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:55,519
Speaker 1: and to say that in the years twenty twenty through

1602
01:17:55,520 --> 01:17:59,479
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two is kind of insane. Yeah, actually it is. Actually,

1603
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:01,320
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just not what the game is supposed

1604
01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:04,160
Speaker 1: to be. Now you finally have that quarterback and you

1605
01:18:04,240 --> 01:18:06,519
Speaker 1: said it too is a defense, right, your first mindset

1606
01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:09,920
Speaker 1: is gonna stop Nick Chubb. If if that's a team's mindset,

1607
01:18:09,960 --> 01:18:13,160
Speaker 1: and we've got Watson and Amari and DPJ and Moore

1608
01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:16,760
Speaker 1: and Goodwin and the Chief. Yeah, with Deshaun Watson as

1609
01:18:16,760 --> 01:18:19,240
Speaker 1: a quarterback, we should be annihilating people. I mean, the

1610
01:18:19,320 --> 01:18:21,240
Speaker 1: days of people putting nine guys up there and saying

1611
01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:24,679
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb's not gonna beat us are over. Yeah, pretty

1612
01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:27,400
Speaker 1: much like what Deshaun Watson had to come out and

1613
01:18:27,439 --> 01:18:30,599
Speaker 1: improve it. That's the thing. Very early on in the season,

1614
01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:32,479
Speaker 1: a lot of people are still gonna go with the

1615
01:18:33,120 --> 01:18:36,200
Speaker 1: we gotta stop Nick Chubb thing. If DeShawn Watson plays

1616
01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:38,200
Speaker 1: like the two hundred and thirty million dollars man like

1617
01:18:38,240 --> 01:18:41,280
Speaker 1: we think he is, then it's it's gonna be. They

1618
01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:44,360
Speaker 1: will keep defensive coordinators up at night trying to figure

1619
01:18:44,360 --> 01:18:47,160
Speaker 1: out how to stop this thing, right, because you can't. Ultimately,

1620
01:18:47,200 --> 01:18:48,920
Speaker 1: you can't take away anything you talk about it in

1621
01:18:49,160 --> 01:18:52,760
Speaker 1: a coverage situation, every coverage has a weak spot. Yeah,

1622
01:18:52,800 --> 01:18:54,840
Speaker 1: that's typically where the ball goes. So there isn't a

1623
01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:56,840
Speaker 1: defense if you have all the answers, it really doesn't.

1624
01:18:57,360 --> 01:18:59,479
Speaker 1: The offense is gonna be able to be productive anywhere. Yeah,

1625
01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:01,360
Speaker 1: and if they if you're willing to give up the

1626
01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:03,720
Speaker 1: short routes. But you got a guy like Elijah Moore

1627
01:19:03,760 --> 01:19:07,519
Speaker 1: who's good on YAK like take it it's a lie.

1628
01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:11,040
Speaker 1: It could be. This thing could get early, real late.

1629
01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:14,200
Speaker 1: I mean this is WHOI It's very exciting to think

1630
01:19:14,200 --> 01:19:16,439
Speaker 1: about it because, like I say, it's not the big name,

1631
01:19:16,760 --> 01:19:19,719
Speaker 1: but the productivity is there, and I see the vision

1632
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:21,639
Speaker 1: behind what they're trying to do well, and you set

1633
01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:24,680
Speaker 1: a separation is what keeps the guys who can separate

1634
01:19:25,040 --> 01:19:26,960
Speaker 1: provide they can catch the ball. Right. But if you

1635
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:28,360
Speaker 1: can separate and catch the ball. You can play in

1636
01:19:28,400 --> 01:19:30,000
Speaker 1: sleep for longer. Well, I think about a guy like

1637
01:19:30,080 --> 01:19:32,400
Speaker 1: David Belle. You know, David Bell. He doesn't have the

1638
01:19:32,439 --> 01:19:34,920
Speaker 1: fastest forty, but if he but he catches a lot

1639
01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:37,680
Speaker 1: of great passes. So if that's the case, he get

1640
01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:40,080
Speaker 1: that route running down, this guy could be in a

1641
01:19:40,280 --> 01:19:42,559
Speaker 1: killer in the slot for a lot for many many

1642
01:19:42,640 --> 01:19:44,960
Speaker 1: years to come. They just gotta play fast play and

1643
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:47,280
Speaker 1: that should in your second year right there. Yeah. Second,

1644
01:19:47,320 --> 01:19:49,840
Speaker 1: they say the biggest adjustment is first to second year.

1645
01:19:49,920 --> 01:19:54,120
Speaker 1: So we should see the DoD David Belle this season. Yeah,

1646
01:19:54,360 --> 01:19:56,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard to for a receiver I think

1647
01:19:56,160 --> 01:19:58,240
Speaker 1: to get playtime. I think that's gonna be an interesting

1648
01:19:58,360 --> 01:20:00,639
Speaker 1: And that's another reason why you bring getting these guys.

1649
01:20:00,680 --> 01:20:03,000
Speaker 1: You want to create that competition. If I'm going up

1650
01:20:03,040 --> 01:20:05,639
Speaker 1: against somebody every day and this guy they brought this guy.

1651
01:20:05,680 --> 01:20:08,120
Speaker 1: If I'm the starting wide receiver. So say I'm David

1652
01:20:08,120 --> 01:20:10,519
Speaker 1: Bell and I see that they traded for Elijah More.

1653
01:20:10,560 --> 01:20:12,640
Speaker 1: They brought it. Markue's good one. It's gonna make me

1654
01:20:12,720 --> 01:20:15,120
Speaker 1: step my game up because I want to play like

1655
01:20:15,200 --> 01:20:17,960
Speaker 1: I'm not here to just you know, wave a towel

1656
01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:20,400
Speaker 1: on the sideline. I want to play. So every day

1657
01:20:20,479 --> 01:20:23,040
Speaker 1: you're getting the best out of me every single day,

1658
01:20:23,200 --> 01:20:25,439
Speaker 1: and it's good because they're doing the same thing. So

1659
01:20:25,560 --> 01:20:28,639
Speaker 1: everybody's getting better. And at the end of the day,

1660
01:20:28,840 --> 01:20:31,040
Speaker 1: it is only one ball, so so the best man

1661
01:20:31,120 --> 01:20:33,360
Speaker 1: is gonna win. But at least you know that you

1662
01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:35,120
Speaker 1: gave it your all. It goes back to what I

1663
01:20:35,160 --> 01:20:37,400
Speaker 1: was saying earlier. Yeah, no doubt, it's gonna be fine.

1664
01:20:37,400 --> 01:20:38,920
Speaker 1: I can't wait for training camp. That's a hard part

1665
01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:42,000
Speaker 1: is that this happens and we got to wait forever.

1666
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:45,439
Speaker 1: You gonna preview at OTA A little looking OTAs, Yeah,

1667
01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:47,200
Speaker 1: a little look, no doubt. All right, we'll be back

1675
01:21:55,040 --> 01:21:57,360
Speaker 1: loaded up with questions. By the way, I noticed yesterday

1676
01:21:57,880 --> 01:21:59,719
Speaker 1: you acted like we were out of mail back questions,

1677
01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:01,960
Speaker 1: and there was a very GiB a specific question that

1678
01:22:02,080 --> 01:22:05,360
Speaker 1: was asked that somehow didn't get asked. Well, I mean,

1679
01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:08,959
Speaker 1: when you're hosting the mail bag segment, you have screening

1680
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:12,519
Speaker 1: powers shoes. I guess we were. I got my car

1681
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:14,400
Speaker 1: and I saw that, and I just started laughing of like,

1682
01:22:14,479 --> 01:22:16,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to go back and look at it.

1683
01:22:16,479 --> 01:22:18,320
Speaker 1: Especially if it was a question like that about me.

1684
01:22:19,280 --> 01:22:22,560
Speaker 1: First one you would have asked, yes, truth, listen, I

1685
01:22:22,560 --> 01:22:24,760
Speaker 1: don't mind it. We we all understand where we're coming from. No,

1686
01:22:25,080 --> 01:22:28,759
Speaker 1: I just like I don't. I don't know. In fairness,

1687
01:22:28,800 --> 01:22:34,240
Speaker 1: I saw it, I knew it, and I'm like, I'm

1688
01:22:34,439 --> 01:22:39,120
Speaker 1: sussing you've ever done the booth. I don't even done

1689
01:22:39,120 --> 01:22:42,760
Speaker 1: anything embarrassing. But there's just that we have done funny stories. Yeah,

1690
01:22:43,080 --> 01:22:45,040
Speaker 1: I blatantly lie to you one day in the food

1691
01:22:46,680 --> 01:22:54,960
Speaker 1: so hurtful. Hurtful. Um, let's see outstanding XS and O's talk,

1692
01:22:55,000 --> 01:22:57,800
Speaker 1: gentleman info galore. I love it. One question, if I may,

1693
01:22:58,280 --> 01:23:00,920
Speaker 1: I hope more contracts are reached structured a little bit.

1694
01:23:00,960 --> 01:23:04,360
Speaker 1: This is from the Really Big Bar. What do you think?

1695
01:23:04,479 --> 01:23:08,200
Speaker 1: Thanks Dennis from Loudonville. Well, I think it depends on

1696
01:23:08,360 --> 01:23:10,639
Speaker 1: if they see somebody outdate that they trying to go get,

1697
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:13,439
Speaker 1: then they have to restructor to create some room for him.

1698
01:23:13,479 --> 01:23:16,360
Speaker 1: But if they don't need to do it, then let

1699
01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:19,040
Speaker 1: it be what it is. I think that you still

1700
01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:20,800
Speaker 1: have the ability. There are guys. You can restructure a

1701
01:23:20,840 --> 01:23:22,920
Speaker 1: mar you can restructure Miles, you can restructure Denzel, you

1702
01:23:22,920 --> 01:23:26,040
Speaker 1: could restructure Botonia or Teller. If you wanted to create

1703
01:23:26,400 --> 01:23:28,679
Speaker 1: cap space this year. Now, the other benefit and create

1704
01:23:28,720 --> 01:23:30,600
Speaker 1: cap spaces here be to roll it forward for the

1705
01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:33,479
Speaker 1: future years. But you're still in pretty good shape here. Yeah.

1706
01:23:33,560 --> 01:23:35,479
Speaker 1: I do think that you're going to have to do

1707
01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:38,639
Speaker 1: something again because you can't absorb a sixty million dollars

1708
01:23:38,680 --> 01:23:41,000
Speaker 1: cap hit on Deshaun Watson. So that contract is I

1709
01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:44,400
Speaker 1: think it gonna be not perpetually restructured, but it's going

1710
01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:46,400
Speaker 1: to be continually kind of kicked down the line. And

1711
01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:48,680
Speaker 1: he's still he's gonna get all of his money. Oh yeah,

1712
01:23:48,720 --> 01:23:50,679
Speaker 1: that's never going to change. That's not going to change.

1713
01:23:50,720 --> 01:23:52,840
Speaker 1: It's just gonna be kind of the timing of how

1714
01:23:52,880 --> 01:23:55,040
Speaker 1: that money gets paid out and converting things to bonuses

1715
01:23:55,040 --> 01:23:58,200
Speaker 1: and affecting the cap things like that, and the Browns

1716
01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:00,840
Speaker 1: also will have about ten million dollars infused into the

1717
01:24:00,840 --> 01:24:03,439
Speaker 1: cap after June one, when John Johnson and Clowney come

1718
01:24:03,439 --> 01:24:06,120
Speaker 1: off the book. So I've always said that if they

1719
01:24:06,120 --> 01:24:07,960
Speaker 1: don't necessarily need a restructure, and they may say that

1720
01:24:07,960 --> 01:24:09,880
Speaker 1: that's valuable to carry forward for next year when we

1721
01:24:09,920 --> 01:24:12,479
Speaker 1: have to pay some bigger bills, or they could say, yes,

1722
01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:17,200
Speaker 1: bless you. They could say veteran defensive end, veteran you know,

1723
01:24:17,320 --> 01:24:19,840
Speaker 1: Frank Clark for example, if he doesn't sign somewhere, veteran

1724
01:24:19,880 --> 01:24:24,040
Speaker 1: defensive tackle, somebody who really wasn't interested in OTAs and whatnot.

1725
01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:27,840
Speaker 1: That's the move. Save million dollars. If you want to

1726
01:24:27,840 --> 01:24:29,479
Speaker 1: come into training camp and be a part of this thing,

1727
01:24:29,520 --> 01:24:31,599
Speaker 1: that I think that's where if they were to add

1728
01:24:31,600 --> 01:24:34,000
Speaker 1: another real piece, that's I think where it would. Yeah,

1729
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:35,880
Speaker 1: and I think it would come like you said, closer

1730
01:24:35,880 --> 01:24:37,840
Speaker 1: to training camp, you gotta go through OTA see what

1731
01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:41,759
Speaker 1: you got. You know, maybe lore forbid it is any injuries,

1732
01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:43,680
Speaker 1: but injuries might play a part of it, and they

1733
01:24:43,680 --> 01:24:45,639
Speaker 1: you have to go get a guy. But right now

1734
01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:47,920
Speaker 1: I think they pretty content where to add. Yeah, and

1735
01:24:47,960 --> 01:24:50,479
Speaker 1: you want to see it's your point in otias, like,

1736
01:24:50,600 --> 01:24:52,439
Speaker 1: you look at your defensive end room right now, it's Miles,

1737
01:24:52,439 --> 01:24:56,000
Speaker 1: it's double O seven, it's Alex right, it's Isaiah Thomas.

1738
01:24:55,800 --> 01:24:58,200
Speaker 1: Has Alex right taken a big step? He was always

1739
01:24:58,200 --> 01:24:59,800
Speaker 1: considered a guy that was going to take a year

1740
01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:03,439
Speaker 1: or so? Yeah? Does he look like a new guy? Yeah?

1741
01:25:03,760 --> 01:25:05,880
Speaker 1: Because if he does, and we're good that we're a

1742
01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:08,559
Speaker 1: real good spot. All right. This from jail k MVP.

1743
01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:13,040
Speaker 1: Mister poem, Oh, it's just me. Oh when you played,

1744
01:25:13,160 --> 01:25:15,120
Speaker 1: how much benefit do you think you would have gained

1745
01:25:15,160 --> 01:25:18,599
Speaker 1: by occasionally spending time in the room that you lined

1746
01:25:18,680 --> 01:25:21,559
Speaker 1: up against? And this goes back to a conversation Anthony

1747
01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:24,160
Speaker 1: Walker Junior joined us right at one o'clock. You just

1748
01:25:24,200 --> 01:25:27,880
Speaker 1: signed his new contract. He mentioned when he was on

1749
01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:31,400
Speaker 1: IR he was spending time with the offense and in

1750
01:25:31,439 --> 01:25:35,000
Speaker 1: the offensive meetings and giving his input on some things

1751
01:25:35,040 --> 01:25:38,320
Speaker 1: and learning some stuff. Should the Browns push more players

1752
01:25:38,320 --> 01:25:41,920
Speaker 1: to do it? Well? The thing they you, Yeah, you

1753
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:44,800
Speaker 1: should be able to. But the thing is, it's so

1754
01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:47,600
Speaker 1: much that goes into you perfecting your own craft and

1755
01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:50,200
Speaker 1: trying to learn your own playbook and learn the adjustments

1756
01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:51,559
Speaker 1: that you got to make that you just don't have

1757
01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:54,559
Speaker 1: the time. But luckily for a guy like me when

1758
01:25:54,560 --> 01:25:57,040
Speaker 1: I was young, you know, I dealt with guys like

1759
01:25:57,160 --> 01:26:01,040
Speaker 1: Doug Baldwin in Seattle or Jermaine Curse, and these guys

1760
01:26:01,360 --> 01:26:04,439
Speaker 1: were always teaching me things about the game of football.

1761
01:26:04,479 --> 01:26:06,720
Speaker 1: You know, wide receivers are looking to do this, so

1762
01:26:06,760 --> 01:26:08,599
Speaker 1: you got to try to play it like this. So

1763
01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:10,920
Speaker 1: I was getting you get that when you go against

1764
01:26:10,960 --> 01:26:13,559
Speaker 1: you know, scout team guys, or when you go against

1765
01:26:13,560 --> 01:26:15,360
Speaker 1: older guys that's trying to teach you how to be

1766
01:26:15,400 --> 01:26:17,760
Speaker 1: a better player. They'll teach you, you know, what the

1767
01:26:17,800 --> 01:26:21,400
Speaker 1: wide receiver for or the offense or defense is trying

1768
01:26:21,400 --> 01:26:25,120
Speaker 1: to do. And that's just coming with just understanding football.

1769
01:26:25,160 --> 01:26:26,639
Speaker 1: You know, when you look at the game of football,

1770
01:26:26,760 --> 01:26:29,080
Speaker 1: like for me now you're just looking, you can you

1771
01:26:29,080 --> 01:26:31,120
Speaker 1: can see what an offense is trying to do. To

1772
01:26:31,200 --> 01:26:33,680
Speaker 1: a defense, you know, it's all about creating those one

1773
01:26:33,720 --> 01:26:37,439
Speaker 1: on one matchups and exploit those those weaknesses. And if

1774
01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:40,120
Speaker 1: you understand that and understand what the weakness of your

1775
01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:45,840
Speaker 1: defense is, you'll always succeed. We got about a minute left.

1776
01:26:45,920 --> 01:26:49,960
Speaker 1: Favorite story from playing at Ohio State. My favorite story

1777
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:52,920
Speaker 1: from playing at Ohio State. Oh you know what, I

1778
01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:55,519
Speaker 1: had one, but I can't say that one. I can't

1779
01:26:55,520 --> 01:26:58,080
Speaker 1: say that one because he the dude played here, so

1780
01:26:58,120 --> 01:27:01,120
Speaker 1: I can't. I won't say that. Well, my favorite story

1781
01:27:01,120 --> 01:27:03,800
Speaker 1: playing at Ohio States. Your favorite story, Nah, I can't

1782
01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:06,639
Speaker 1: because it's it's I tell you off the air. You can't.

1783
01:27:06,800 --> 01:27:12,960
Speaker 1: It's not it's not for radio. Probably my favorite story

1784
01:27:12,960 --> 01:27:17,320
Speaker 1: would be when we played Penn State. Not the year

1785
01:27:17,400 --> 01:27:19,879
Speaker 1: say Juan was there, because that was the worst story,

1786
01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:22,040
Speaker 1: but the year before that. You know, we went up

1787
01:27:22,080 --> 01:27:26,800
Speaker 1: to Happy Valley um night game obviously, and we had

1788
01:27:26,880 --> 01:27:29,400
Speaker 1: Joey Bosa had that walk off sack at the end.

1789
01:27:29,439 --> 01:27:32,240
Speaker 1: But it was my favorite game because we were up

1790
01:27:32,320 --> 01:27:35,240
Speaker 1: and then things got bad. Then our quarterback got hurt,

1791
01:27:35,240 --> 01:27:37,599
Speaker 1: but he stayed in the game, and I just got

1792
01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:41,439
Speaker 1: to witness that no matter what happened during that game,

1793
01:27:41,560 --> 01:27:44,479
Speaker 1: we refused to lose that game. And that's when I

1794
01:27:44,520 --> 01:27:46,600
Speaker 1: realized the type of players that I was playing with

1795
01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:48,280
Speaker 1: it and I was like, oh, I could ride out

1796
01:27:48,320 --> 01:27:52,559
Speaker 1: with these guys forever. So that's my favorite story. And

1797
01:27:52,720 --> 01:27:55,600
Speaker 1: that's a quick little edition of the mail Bag. Unfortunately,

1798
01:27:56,320 --> 01:27:59,400
Speaker 1: other questions, but so much more to come with Tyvis
